FIRST READING OF AN ORDINFiNCE AMENDING CHAPTER 507 OF THE CITY CODE
RELATING TO MUNICIPAL BATHING �BEACHES:.
MOTIQN by Councilman Star�c�alt, t� adopt Ordinance No. 586 - ammending
Chapter 508 of the City code of the City of Fridley relating to �parks
and parkways, on the second reading of the aubiic ordinance.
Seconded by Councilwoman�Kukowski. -
Mr. James .Hi11, Public Safety Director explained that he had done some
research in other areas concerning th.is type of ordinance or regulation,
and Anoka County has no ordinances such as this. He pointed out that
in Ramsey County where there is ar ordinance, it is unenforceable
because the Court will not accept the charge.

. .. � �'
-� The Public Safety Director explained the ordinance being hoped for would
take care of the rowdies and leave the nice family people along. He •
said this would really have to �e a Council policy rnatter, and he could
not recommend any specific action at•the �,urrent time.
The'Public Safety Director referred the Council's attention to Subdivision 2
of the ordinance nelating to parks and parkways and. questioned if the -
Council would want the permit to be issued hy ihe City Council, or did •
�
• this mean tl�at the C�ty Manager or a des$gnated person.would issue the
permit. He also questioned if the work ''grou�" would mean a group of two
or twenty. He also asked if by "neighborhood' the Council would mean
a group close to the park, any group ir the Cify or a group of neighbors
from St. Paul. Ne atso questiened if a man and his family would go to
t'he park and the man had a beer, would he be in violatiorr without a permit.
Ne sa'id the Police Department wouid not know their limits without some
clarification of this section."

He also questioned if the Council would issue permits to the civic or
service organ�zations in the City. He mentioned the desires of the Council
should correspond to the requirements of the ordinance.
The Public Safety Director explained that in 1970 there was e� letter
received from Anoka County concerning this type of ordinance., but any
further action on this had been dropped because of lack of concern..
Councilman Starwalt said there was considerable discussion on the first
reading of the ordinance, and he thought.that it would be broiaght back in
a changed form.
Mayor Nee said he saw no problems in the second subdivision.
The City Attorney asked if it was the Council's intent that the permits
be issued by the City Council. Mayor�Nee said this had only been discussed.
Tf�e City Attorney questioned if this should not be done by the City Manager
or a person designated by the City Manager. He mentioned that Mr. Hil]
brought up a good point concerning the neighborhoods and questioned what
would happen if the Council or Administration was contended to be
discriminatory.
Mayor Nee asked who would challenge this process. The City attorney answered„
probably no one. �.
The City Manager said that the administration would do what the Council
wanted. He mentioned that the current use of the park facilities in this
fashion is illegal and he said this is a recurring activity each year.
The Ci�Cy Manager said he would prefer it if the permits were� held at the
City Council level. He mentioned it would be better if all licenses and
permits are handled by the City Council. He mentioned if tf�e activity
Were to be coming up too soon for the Council to handle.the request, the
doings could be held in Locke Park. He mentioned the condii�ions of
vegetation and the large area would be more acceptable for �this type of �
usage. He also mentioned that the ordinance could be adjusted in the
future to fit the changing needs of the cnmmunity. The Cit;� Manager said
the existing ordinance compieiely prohibits this use in the Lity parks.
The City Attorney stated he felt the praposed ordinances to be better•than
the existing ordinances. Councilman Starwalt asked if this meant in
both the legal and policing activites,and the City Attorney said yes.
The Public Safety Director said his only problems would be in subdivision
No. 2. .
Councilman Breider questioned the provision concerning neighborhood parks.
Counctlwoman Kukowski said she would rather see the people come to the
City Councii because the members of the Council are closer to the neighbor-
hood situations. Councilman Breider asked about the time factor. involved
in this type of Council appxoval. Councilwoman Kukowski said if there is
not time, the people can hold their doings in Locke Park. The City
Attorney asked if the area civic and service groups would go to Locke
Park for their activities. Councila;oman Kukowski said she believed
that the Civic organizations go to Locke Park.
Mayor Nee said this wouTd aTso be true of the neighborhood groups. He
said he felt this provision for neighborhood parties in the: parks was
good for the City of Fridley.

The Public Works Director explained that this piece of property is in
the area Where Win Stephens had planned to ihstalT the Datsun Dealers.hip:
He commentec! that the request was rec-ommended for approval by the
Planning Commission at their June 28, 1975 meeting with several
stipulations. He read the sugg�ested stipulations to the Council and
audience.
The Public Wbrks Director explained the reason for the lot split being
requested is to allow the future construction of a roadway to the rear
of �he lots abutting the frontage road. He explained there wouid be an
appropriate amount of land, berming would be installed and the proper
pa1^king requirements would be met. The Public Works Dir ect:or said
the representative �f Win Stephens, Mr. Roland Benjamin, w��s present
to answer any of tf�e Council questions. The Public Works [lirector,
commented with the proposed roadway, the boulevard sho•uld tre shifted
to make sure there will be a proper set back. He said currently,
there is no road in the rear portion of the property in quf�stion.
Mr. Sobiech said it wouTd be in order for the Council to concur
with the recommendation of the Planning Commission and appi�ove the
request with the stipulation set by the Planning Commission.
Mayor Nee questioned when the area would be platted. The I�ublic Works
Director said the City would have to wait for Mr. Schroer to produce
the plat. Councilman Breider asked Mr. Schroer when the a�rea would
be platted, and Mr. Schroer answered that this'would be after ihe �
restaurant is in operation, Mr. Schroer said the parcels �r�ould meet
the proper lot size and it is the proposal to bring the road i.n
� next to the building. Mayor Nee asked if there was to be �wasted land
with this proposal. Mr. Schroer said the street would be needed for
the lots in back of the Town.Crier and Capp Homes. Mayor Nee asked if
tfris would be a proper solution to the problem, and Mr. Schroer said
it had been,suggested by the City Council because of-the depth of the
lots. ,

Dr. Richard Trezona addressed the Council and said the reason for this requesi: being
submitted at this time was because of the amount of time in•which the applicai;ion
would have to be submitted for the LAI�JCON funding. He said the application would have
to be �done by July 17, 1975 and in order to make this application, 25q of the funding
is required from the City of•Fridley matching funds. Mayor Nee asked.when thf�se
matching funds wouid be due. 7he City Manager said the Council would have to approve
this concept before the application is submitted, but the funds would not hav�� to be
supplied untiT the grant is ap�;roved.
Councilman Breider said when the City applied for funds for the Islands of Peace he
did not believe the City allocated funds for the project. Councilman Breider mentioned
he thought they were asking for $30,000. The City 14anager said the City asked for
$71,000 and received $30,000. Councilman Breider said he did not think funds were
allocated by the City. He mentioned this was not placed in the budget. The Finance
Director, Mr. Marvin C. Brunsell, said the City set up a specific fund, He mentioned
the same thing was done with the application for'funds for North Park when the original
appiication for funding was submitted, He said the City borrowed money from another
fund to buy the land. Councilman Breider said he was talking about the money used for
the.purchase of the two lots for the Islands Of Peace and said the City did not
place this in the budget. The Finance Director said this is a matter of how this type
of thing is worded. He commented that the City had to make the same guarantee for
matching funds in this application for the Islands of •Peace. He said it was done
although not through the budget process. The Finance Director said the same thing was
done whether or not it was in the budget or not:
Councilman Starwa7t questioned the proposed procedure. He said the Islands of Peace had
to come up with the 25%. Councilman Starwalt recalled that when the nature center
proposal was introduced to the pubiic, it was ind�cated that no money would t�e coming
from the City, period. The City Manager said if the grant is approved and the City
accepts the grant, the 25� would have to be paid. Ne mentioned that if the I;ity did not
want to accept the grant, this would be possible at that time. He said the ��greement
would be between the City of fridley and the Foundation for the reimbursement of the
City's share. He mentioned in the original agreement the foundation was to reimburse
the City for any services.
Councilman Breider commented that if the City applies for the funding and the funds are
� not avaiiable from the Foundation, the City wou]d turn dos�n the grant, and he questioned
if this statement would be correct. The City Manager said the money would be available
in the General fund to pay the fourth in matching funds for this app7ication. He said �
this money would be reimbursed and the only City expense would be staff time to prepare
the application. The City Manager said a fund coald be set up and this would be the
� same thing that was done when the land was purchased. Coancilman Breider said at that
time, the land was eonsidered pu6lic land. He questioned if it would be possible to
get a committment from the Foundation that they come up with the 25q. The Finance
Director said this could be done at the time of budgeting. The City Manager said this
could be shown as a rece�vable in the budget. Councilman Breider said this was his
understanding. He said he would not want the money set up and hid in the ut:ility fund.
Councilman Starwalt again mentioned that in the case of the Islands of Peace�, they were
liable for this funding. Mayor Nee said this was changed and the City became responsible
to Mr. Minder for the payment for the property. Councilman Fitzpatrick askE�d if it could
be set up that the funds would be reimbursed for the matching funds. Dr. Trezona
mentioned that any services performed by the City under the agreement for N�>rth Park .
would have to be reimbursed. He said another part of that agreement was th��t the
City would make application for public funding such as the LAWCO�V funding. Councilman
. Starwalt commented that some of the members of the Council are being raked ��ver the
coals and mentioned that the people had voted in favor of the nature center because
they had 'promised that this would not take any tax dollars. Councilman Starwalt asked
how much money has been collected by private contribution at this time. Dr. Trezona
' answered not any. He said the project was held up for one year and �the economy shot
out from underneath them. Councilman Starwalt said he had heard that this type of
thing was not being heid up by the economy. Dr. Trezona explained that if there are
funds, they had not made any ap��lication for them because their detailed plans for the
. area are not complete at this time. ,_- �-

Mr. Robert Erickson, 565 57th Avenue, said he was quite distrubed about the•whole
thing. He said at the time of the election when North Park was voted on, it was
indicated that the nature center would be developed with no cost to the City. He
asked how much money had been given to the City for the services to the Foundation
to date. Dr. Trezona said the Foundation had r�ot received any bills from the City to
date. Dr. Trezona said the Foundation has �II00 in its treasury. He said this is �
no great amount of money.
Dr. Huff said no services have been perfiormed by the City for the Foundation up
to this time.
Mr. Erickson mentioned that the property is City property and it would have to be
cleaned up and maintained just as other City park property is. t�lr: Erickson again
stated he would like to voice disapproval of 1;he proposal. Ne said he had heard
during the campaigns that the development of North Park would be at no cost to the
taxpayers. He mentioned he felt this would have been denied by the voters if it
were to have been at the taxpayers expense. �-
Mayor Nee asked if it would be possible for the City to receive a note from the
Foundation indicating that this money ��rould be rein.-ursed. Dr. Trezona said this is
something that would have to be approved by the Foundation, he could not say at the
present meeting. He said the application would have to be submitted by the 19th -
of July and this would have to be resolved by that time. fle'mentioned when the
complete, plan statiny �vho ivo�rld do what and what is to be done is completed, they
would apply to other sources. �
' Councilman Starwalt mentioned the letter written to the City concerning this request ' �.
and referred the Council's attention to paragraph three and said the City would have F
to make a firm commitment for the matchi,ng funds in this application. He said the �
agreement with the Islands of Peace making them 9iable for the reimbursement worked �
out very well. He said the agreement or letter does not say that if the City would `
have .to make a firm commitment for the matching funds in this application. He said t
the agreement wi�h the Islands of Peace making them liable for the reimbursement s
worked out very we17. Ne said the ayreement or letter does not say that if the �
_ City cioes not pay the money it could be turned down. Ne questioned going ahead with. _
• this type of development �ahen it had not been•determined what wouid be done in ��
North Park. Councilman Starwalt said he had thought that many people were ready ti
and willing to commit the money for this deve.lopment. He said the people should be R
' able �o lay their money on the line for this type of development. Ne said he was �
disappointed that money had not been contributed by other private concerns. He >
� mentioned the first funding was being received through and by the City. Dr. Trezona
said before any private money is requested, the members of the Foundation should be �
able to answer any questions put to them concerning the plans for the development. ¢
Councilman Breider said if the money could be showed in the budget as a receivable,
and put in trie other end as an expenditure would this be feasible. Mr. Brunsell
said this would not have to be 1:aken from the general.fund. The City Manager said
if the Council did not want this to be from local tax money, this eould be taken
care of .
Councilman Breid�r said he would like it to be in a fashion so that it does not �hange
the mil] levy. He said at this time, this has become a political judgement on the
part of the Council. The City Manager said the matter would have to be brought back ..
to the Council before the expenditure is made ta show the Council what is being
done and th�t no local tax maney is beirg spent.
• Mr. Curtis Johnson, 1312 North Innsburck, mentioned that the Council had just voted
to spend man�� times this much on another item. He questioned how this consideration
had become so involved. P4r. Johnson mentioned he ��7as a representative of Grace High
School and they had been unable to obtain any funding in the current-year. He
mentioned th2y had felt that they had hurt their chances for future-funding by
seeking it at the present time. He commented he �n�ished they had waited and commended
the Foundation for not requesting private grants.
Mayor Nee said he agreed with Mr. Joiinson's comnents.

period of 20 years with the hope that there would be a profit made to take care of
this financing. He said they were not talking about $13,Q00 that was going to be
paid back to the City. I�e said this is not the same type of funds that was talked
about previously and no City of Fridley funds would be spent. Ne questioned how
long it would be before the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation would be able to do
the things that they had set out to do. He mentioned with the contribution of'
LAWCON funds, it would make it easier to obtain funding from other sources ancl he
also mentioned that the LAWCON funds would not be available to a Foundation tliat
does have other funds available. He said this is a reasonable request and thf�
Council should not object because this is what the public voted for and what �the
City had agreed to do for tYie foundation.
Mayor Nee said he thought any discussion on this matter wou]d be concerning the
plans.
Mr. Erickson saic' this is part of the reason he wanted to say something about. the
matter. He repEaLed that the promise taas that this would noi cost the tax p��yers
one penny. He said he had paid enough in assessments and he felt that the Fc�undation
shou7d prove they arecred9tableand have the money before the City would mak�
application. He said he thought the golf course proposal 4das a good one bec��use
it would have brought money into the City.
Mr. Bob Schroer, 490 Rice Creek Boulevard addressed the Counci7 and said he was on
the loosin9 side of this issue. Ne said he knows how hard it is to get into business
�and to stay in business. He said he had to agree with Mr. Erickson in some instances.
He said he did not feel that the payment of the money should be guaranteed t�y the
City but he thowght it.was abo�t time that the Foundation would get at the tiusiness
that they had intended to do. He said he would l.ike to see the City Counci"I take
action �o get them going.
Mr. Ken Bureau, 5630 W. Danube, suggested allowing the Foundation one year's time
to raise the $13,000 and after this if it is not done, their credibility would be
lost. .
Mayor Nee said .he thought the proposal to be very purdent fo'r the first stage and
he thought this would get.them off ihe ground very wel]•
Councilman Fitzpatrick sa_id he agreed and he thought this would make the park more
and more useable. `
Mayor Nee said what was before the Council was whether or not to submit the application
for funding. He said the concern af the finances could be taken care of at budget
time. He said if the Foundation does not raise the money, the City Counci7 would
have the prerogative to not aECept the grant.
Councilwoman Kukowski said the Council had placed tneir trust in the Foundation for th'e
period of five years. .
MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to approve the request for the application for LAWCON
funding for North'Park. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Councilman Breider saidonference�meetinq'of000eeCouncijuretshadlbeen discussed that
mentioned at the last c
there may be tennis courts provided in Ward I.. He sa�d he would not want to give
up any type of recreational facilities in order to produce the funding for tfiis

would like to accept the offer of the Springbrook Nature Center Foundatinn in good
faith. He said he would like them to make every ef�ovedtorrobtained,the funds or

Councilman Breider said he would agree with this as long as there is no cost to the
tax payers of the City. Councilman Breider said he a�ould not want to see something
else bumped from the budget.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said the City has already pledged mutual trust in its agree-
ment with the Foundation.
Councilwoman Kukowski said there is no way that she would want to see tax money going
into the Nature Center. She said she would fight seeing anything bumped from the
budget because of this. She mentioned they should have faith in the Foundation.
Councilman Breider said if he were to borrow money, he would require a note.
Councilwoman Kukowski said the big thing right now would be to submit the application.
Councilman Starwalt said he thoughtthis was a'good plan. He mentioned everything
Qr. Huff has turned out is valid and workable. �
Councilman Starwalt continued to comment on the past election indicating he did not
believe the turnout was as large as it could have been and many people had not
expressed their opinion. He said he fe1t the people of the City voted in favor of
the Nature Center because it was to have been deve]oped at no cos� to the tax payers.
He continued to voice his dissappointment that the request had come before the City
before any other funding for the project had been obtained.
The City P�anager said the plan is a conceptual thing. He referred the Council's
attention to the fencing to be used and said it is the split cedar rail type. He
mentioned this is a less expensive type than the chain link, but he believed it to
be more rustic and suitable for this type of facility. . Mayor Nee said it wouTd keep
out the motor vehicles. The City I�anager said it might not provide satisfactory
security.
Mayor Nee said the budget matter on this item could be taken care of during the
budget proceedings. Councilman Starwalt said he would like this to be taken care of
at the present time. Courrcilman Breider said it could be considered taken care of
because he wou7d not consider the item if it were to be a budget expense and something
would be taken out of the budget. Mayor Nee said this. would take four votes. The
City Manager said it would have to appear in the application how the funding would
be obtained. He explained this to be a long form w�th details needed for this kind �
of funding. ,
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Dr. Huff said the funds would have to be guaranteed by the City. Ne mentioned the
City should require a note from the Foundation or the LAWCON Application would be
thrown out the window.
Mayor Nee said the City cou7d bill the Foundation for this amount without a note
in 197b. � • .
Mr. Ken Sporre, 301 Ironton St. N.E., addressed the Council asked if anyone on tMe
Council knew where LAWCON funding carne from. He mentioned that this is from funds
obtained by the issuance of park stickers, fishing and game licenses. He mentioned
the only way the funds could be used is to protect our conservational aspects.
Mayor Nee commented that much of the money comes from cigarette taxes. Councilman
Starwalt asked where the Federal money comes from. Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre answered
that this comes from purchases of National Park Stickers, etc. She said this money
is earmarked for consE�rvation purposes.
Dr. Trezona thanked the members of the Council for their consideration. _

RECEIVING REPORT REGARDING DEBRIS ON VACANT LOTS IN NORTH INNSBRUCK: '
The Public Works Director said this item concerned il]ega7 dumping being 9one in the
North Innsbruck area. He explained that P�r. Steve Olson, Environmental Official>
had met with the property owners of the area and they had conducted,some research
and prepared a survey of the property where there is some problems. He said they '
had also tried to determine who owned the property and where the debris is coming from.
He pointed out at the meeting with the property owners of the area, North Innsbruck,
Home Owners Association, they had come up with action for a solution to the prob]ems.
Mr. Sobiech read the recommended action to the Council and audience and briefly
explained the nine areas of possible action. �
Mr. �en Bureau, addressed the Counci] and said the only point of disagreement would
be over whether or not the fill of asphalt chunks and concrete are considered fill
or refuse. He said he had discussed this with the Inspection Department. He
mentioned many lots are filled with this type of material along with othe:r types
of material and the future property owner has problems with maintenance of the areas.
He added, if this type of material is not considered ciean fiTl, it should be deposited
in the.proper 7andfill areas..
The Public Works Director said the County had been contacted on this mati:er and they
had determined that clean f�ll was lim�ted to sand, rocks, and bolders. He safd this
type of dumping would'have ta be done according ta:the ordinances in the future.
A question was raised that if the Innsbr.uck area is posied as to indicate no dumping.
� in this specific area, this could create problems with dumping in other ��arts of
the City. Mr. Bureau said he felt a sign that would indicate there is n�� dumping in
` the City of Fridley would be better.
The Public Works Director said the dur�ping procedures would be covered by a permit
which would call for a inspection of the area after the dumping is completed to
determine if the area is properly restored and covered.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the recommendation of the Administration in
the concern of debris in North Tnnsbruck. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Uporr
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declar.ed the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF A J9UTUAL AID AGREEMENT FOR FIRE AND PQLICE BETWEEN CITY OF fRIDLEY
AND THE CITY OF NEW aRIGHTON:
The Public Safety Director said he had talked to the City Manager of the City of
New Brighton and this had been recommended by the New Brighton City Council. Mr. Hill
mentioned that the City of Fridley does often respond to the New Brighton cai7s and this
wou�d be a responsible action to a7leviate the possible liability by this mutual aid
agreement. The Public Safety Director said he believed thet'e to be a bE�nefit to
the City of Fridley. .
MOTION by Councilman Breider to authorize execution of the mutal aid agreement for
Fire and Police between the City of Fridley and the City of New Brighton. Seconded
by Councilman Starwa7t. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee d��clared the
motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF ACCEPTING U. S. ARMY HOWITZER FOR EISEHOWER SQUAR�:
Councilman Breider said according to the description of the Howitzer, it is a very
�
large one. ,
Mayor Nee mentioned if it were in the community it would be the responsibility .of
the City to take care of it. He recailed that the City had an airplane that was under
this type of arrangement and it got'in bad shape. •.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked what would happen if one of the tires got flat.

The City Manager said when the item had been requested, it was on a much smaller
level. He said it would cost $1,000 in shipping costs to get it to the City. He
mentioned there may be some problems with childr•en climbing on the Howitzer.
Mayor Nee recalled that many youngsters were injured on the airplane. Councilman
Fitzpatrick said the Nowitzer is very big for Eisenhower Square. Mayor Nee said he
thought this would cause a lot of problems. Councilman Breider said this was not
the proper size Howitzer for this area. _
Ms. Joan McLaughlin, 728 63rd Avenue N.E., addressed the Council and said she would
hate to see a cannon for the children of the City to play on rather than some
recreational or playground equipment, She suggested this money be placed in
recreational equipment which would be mentally healthier and more comfortable for
young people to use. -
MOTION by Councilman Breider to decline the offer of the Howitzer and ask the U. S.
Armv if a smaller model may be available. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Councilman Br ider asked the City l�anager to write a letter asking for a smaller size
- cannon. Councilman 6reider said he thought a two a�heel cannon may be more appropriate.
Mayor Nee said one with a short tail.

RESOLUTION N0. 84-1975 - ORDEP,ING IP1PR�VEMENT, APPROVAL OF PLANS AND ADVERTISEMENT
FOR BIDS: STREE7 IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1975-103 OVERLAY :
The Public Works Uirector said the streets shown on the map on paqe 14 of the agenda
were proposed for overlay by the resolution. He said the engineering estimate for
this is $70,530.00.
Mayor Nee asked if Capital Street could be added. The City Manager said it could not.
He explained that the streets that would have overlay installed are streets installed
to a certain standard and when they begin to need repair �he overlay is installed.
Mayor Nee asked if this policy is written down and documented in some place. The
City Manager said this would be in the minutes of the Council meetings. Ne said
they had discussed this before. He said t�is is usually done by the seal coating
process, but when the seal coating will no longer take care of the problems, the
overlay is used. Mayor idee asked how thick the overlay is. The Public Works
Director answered that"this would be about one and a half inches thick. He said
this would be in line with maintenance of a normaT street. He said the cost of
the overlay is from $4�to $5, per foot and the installation of the complete roadway
would currently run to $35.00 per foot. The City.Manager said less then 8% of the `
City's streets are below standard.
MOTION by Cour�cilman Starwalt to adopt Resolution No. 84-1975 ordering improvement
approval of plans and advertising for bids: Street Improvement Project ST. 1975-10B

Nee declared the motion carried unanimous7y.
Mayor Nee said he wo�ld like to see this policy on paper so he would know what to
tell the people. " �
RESOLUTIOU N0. 85-1�75 - ADOPTING A BIY.EWP,Y/WALKWAY SYSTfM PLAN FOR THE CITY OF
FRIDLEY: ���
Mayor Nee said he thought there should be an effort made to follow East River Road
with the 6ikeway system. He said the people will ride up East River Road anyway.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said they had tried•�o take the bikeway away from East River
Road. Mayor Nee said he didn't think anyone wou7d use the bikeway as proposed for
the area. He thought the system should be constructed where the people will use it.
The City Dlanager said he thought that it would be unrealistic to say that the system
would be initiated by City funds. He said he hoped it would be,funded by grants,
etc.

� The Ciiy Manager said the question would be to discourage bike riding on East River
Road rather than incourage it. He continued that the basic concept of the plan was
to take the bike traffic away from the road like East River Road.
Councilman Starwalt said.he agreed with the overall concept. He sa�d many� peop7e
� had put in a great deal of time on the plan. He said they would be the first ones
to agr�e that there may be some changes in the plan.

Councilman Starwait said he had hoped Mr. Saliterman would be present. tdr. Casserly
said it was his understanding that Mr. Saliterman did not have to be present.
Councilman Sta�walt asked P4r. Casserly what progress had been made in the establish-
ment of the liquor faciliiy in the City. P�r. Casserly said he was not aw��re of the
current status of this. •
Councilman Starwalt questioned if there had been any progress in the clean up
activities after the recent storm. The City Manager informed the Council that the
area had been cleaned up.
Some discussion concerning the facility followed with Mr. Casserly requesting the
item be tabled unti7 he was able to gain more infomration on the status of the

ERATION OF FIRST READI
FOR REZONING REQUEST BY RICHARD
MOTTON by Councilman Breider to receive the statement written by F�layor Nee regarding
the Frontier Club Zoning dated July 7, 1975 and on file in the City offices.
Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. .Upon a voice vot.e, al.l voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously. •
Councilman Starwalt said some time back there was some discussion that the rezoning
be handled separately from the application for the liquor license. He said he felt
that this should be considered as two distinctly separate items. He said if the
property were to be rezoned, it would comply with the current use of the property. '
Councilman Starwalt referred to Mayor Nee's statement and said there are some good
points in it. He said when the City has a liquor facility in this location, the
property was :not zoned correctly. He asked why the City did not continue operations
at the location. He asked if this was because of .the zoning.
Mayor Nee said the Council said this was because they vaere not making any money.
Mayor Nee said he had voted to close this City facility because he did not believe
this was a good place to have a liquor store.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if Mayor Nee was aware at that time that the zoning
was not correct. Mayor Nee said he was awa're, it was the staff that was not aware
of.this fact.
Councilman Starwalt 5aid he was at a lose at why not to rezone the parcel to conform
with its present use. Mayor Nee said the zonin.g change would not serve the neighbor-�
hood.
Councilwoman Kukowski said she had lived in that ar°ea for two years and the local
businesses in the area closed because they did not have any business. She mentioned
the residents of the area are not opposed to the rezoning, because they had not come
to the meetings and told the Council about this.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEE7ING, JULY 7, 1975 PAGE 21
Counci7man Breider said Mayor Nee's arguments are very good, but he had to agree
with Councilwoman Kukowski. He said this area cannot support this sort of local
shopping facility. He also mentioned the physical size of the area would also restrict
uses, of the other property in the area. .
.Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if there is other C-1 area in the neighborhood. Council-
man Breider asked the Pub]ic Works Director to show the Council an overlay c�f
the area. Counciiman Starwalt said he thought this property should have beE�n C-2
when the City had the liquor establishment on the property. He asked if th�: other
liquor establishments in the City are properly zoned. The City Manager said ihis is
the only one that does not conform to the zoning.
Councilman Starwalt said as he read the minutes of the subcommittee meetings, he
thought that this should be rezoned.
The City Manager said the Councii could not consider the fact that the property has
a non conforming use. He said ihere are many other areas in the City �ahere� there
are non conforming uses and if this was the rule therF would be spot zoninq all over
the City. Mayor Nee said t.his would create ridiculous zoning all over the City and
' this would be a nonsense argument. .
The City Manager asked if there should be some understanding on the part o-F the
property owner for improvements on the building if the rezoning is going tu be
approved. Mayor Nee said the City had an agreement in 1969 for the compietion of a
blacktop parking lot and this has not been done. He voiced the opi:nion that such
an agreement �dould be ignored.
Councilman Starwalt asked if there is adequate parking and D1ayor Nee said no.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said what about the property across the street. Mayor Nee
said there were minutes in the agenda which discuss possible plans for building a
warehouse on this property. He said the property is not available.
Councilman Starwalt said there are many pros and cons. .
MOTION by Councilman Starwait to waive the reading and adopt the ordinance for the
rezoning request by Mr. Richard Povlitzke. Seconded by Councilwoman Kuko�r�ski for
a vote. Upon a roll call vote, Counciiman Breider voting aye, Councilman Starwalt
voting aye, Councilman Fitzpatrick voting aye, Mayor Nee voting nay and Council-
woman Kukowski vating nay, Mayor Nee declared the motion failed because it did not
have a four/fifths vote.
ADJOURNMENT:

MRS. KATHY h9ALONE, b13i BENJAMIN STREET N. E., REQUEST FOR ADDITIOMAL STOP SIGN
Mrs. Malone addressed the Council and explained that she had thought that there had been
approval for installtion of two stop signs in the area at the previous meeting of the
Council. She further expiained that signs had been Installed at one intersection and not the
other. Mrs. Malone said she had talked to Councilman Star.walt concerning the confusion
and he had indicated he would listen to the tapes of tne meeting. The motion made at
that time had been to cail for a study at troth locations and after this a motion te
install the signs had been made without definite specifications on location.
CounciTman Starwalt said he planned to listen to the tapes, but had not been able to do
so. He affirmed the statements made by Mrs. Malone in that he had called for a study
on the installation at botf� locations.
Councilman �r:rtal� said he felt the installativn of the first signs should be considered
for their effectiveness and if it is necessary, the additional signs could be installed
in the future. Councilman Starwait explained that he intended the signs to be some-
what temporary until the area is further developed.
Mrs. Malone said she did not feel that the problem is being solved by the installation of
signs at only one intersection. The traffic still traveis at a high speed in this area.
Mayor Nee said he thought the Council had settled the problem on the signs on Briardale
Road. Councilman Starwalt explained that this was on one corner. and the property owners
had requested that this be done at 61st and Benjamin also. He felt this may be a process
for the interim period while there is a great deal of constructior�in the area. There
will be a road cut to the west into the park property and this wi�l provide a break in
the traffic. Councilman Starwalt said stop signs should not be used for relief of speeding.

He said he had asked that the property owners try to work with the action that had been
taken and not take any further action until it is needed. .
Mr. Robert Erickson, 5950 Benjamin St., said he did not feel the action of the present
. installation was at all sufficient. He indicated his home was only a half a block from
the area and he thought the additional stop sign was definitly needed. .
Mrs. Malone said something should be done before there is a tragedy.in the area.
Mr. Joe Peterson, 1565 Gardena Avenue, addressed the Council and explained the traffic
feeding into the area a11 comes from a straight shoot and it is very fast. He explained
that there was a recent accident in the area and if there were youngsters outside,
there would have been someone hurt.

SHELTERS fROM MEETING OF APRIL 21, 1975 :
7he Public Works Director, Mr. Richard Sobiech, explained to the Council the three
different types of requests•noted on the map on the agenda and requested in the proposed
resolution. He said one would be where residents of the City had requested installation
of shelters, another where City people had seen a number of people waiting at a bus
stop, and thirdly, where there is a potential for substantial ridership. He said there
are eleven suggested locations that might warrant a bus shelter. He explained that those
proposed would be contingent upon the MTC reviewing the locations for proper number of
residents and people using the location.
MOTION by Councilman fitzpatrick to adopt Resolution No. 70-1975 requesting Metropolitan
Transit CorrQnission to install Bus Shelters. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
The Public Works Director exp}ained that if the people of the area had requested the shelter
and the suggestion had come from MTC, they had already conducted a study on the need and
determined the need does exist. .
Mayor Nee questioned the placement of a sfielter on the north side of the Fridley Market.
The Public Works Director indicated thislocation was in the area of Fiarmont and Glencoe.
Mayor Nee asked if this is on the residential side of the street. The Public Works Director
said it is felt that the shelter will attract the residents of the area.
Mayor Nee asked if there would be a problem from the owner of the residential property
adjacent to the proposed shelter. The Public Works Director said there is enought right
of way and the shelter is attractive> not unsightly. Mayor Nee asWed who lives on the
northeast corner of Hugo and East River Road. A member of the audience said he thought this
� is Georgia and Albert Kellner's home or 8182 East River Road, Mayor Nee asked if they had
a fence and the man said yes. He believed the fence is set back about six feet from the
road and there would be ample area for the bus shelter.
• Councilwoman Kukowski said it had been brought to her attention that the�shelter on 57th
and University creates a traffic hazard. She explained that thebus moves in front of the
existing traffic. The Public Works Director said thisis a problem that the City would
have to put up with for the time being. He further pointed out that the plans are
for the installation of a park and ride stop in that location. '
7he City Manager reiterated that if the MTC approves the additional locations for the
bus shelters, the City would have to appropriate money from unappropriated funds to '
irrstall the slabs. He pointed out that this would be abaut $350 per shelter.

FIRST READING OF AN ORDIPdANCE TO ESTABLISH CHAPTER T13, REFt1SE DISPOSAL: AMENDING CHAPTER
11, LICENSE AND PERMITS: AND REPEALIPlG PRIOR CHAPTER 113 WASTE DISPOSAL :
The Public Works Director commented that a few weeks ago, it had been brought up at a
Councii meeting that the waste disposal ordinance should be amended. He said the City .
had met with the representatives of the City's licensed haulers to gain their input
on the conflicts of the ordinance and the requirements of the haulers. The proposed
amendment would allow placement of bagged refuse to be put at c�rbside on the day of
pick up. He said this would only allow refuse and not garbage to be placed on the curb.
He suggested another provision for inclusion in the ordinance that this be limited to
a 24 hour period to a11ow placement of the bagged material the evening before pick
up in the morning. '
The Public Works Director referred the Council's attention to Section 113.08 and indicated
that the suggested 24 hour limit be placed in this Section.
The City Manager said this would be only refuse, not garbage. The City Manager added,
he felt the placement of garbage would be unsightly.
� Mayor Nee referred the Council's attention to Section 113.07 and asked'if this would
prohibit any one from hauling their own refuse. •�e City Attorney said this question
had come up several years ago. He said the home owner can haul their own if they
do not spill the refuse all over the street. The Public Works Director said there was
1 no change in this section. Mayor Nee asked if there was a provision existing that is
not enforced. The City Attorney said the individuals can haul their own, but if any-
one else hauls it, they would have to be licensed.
Councilwoman Kukowski referred to the placement of the garbage and asked if the haulers
' are expected to go to the back of the property line to p�ck up peop�e's garbage.
She expressec! the opinion that if this is the case, the rates will be raised. She mentioned
if the haulers have to get to the rear of the people's property and climb through and
around boats, campers, fences and garages, they couid not get to the garbage. The
' Public Works Director quoted the requirement and said that in no event shall the garbage
- be in the front yard. He said this would allow the material to be placed to align with
the front of the house. He said the City would not want all of the garbage at the
� � curbing. He mentioned tha� the cans could tip and create problems.
� Mr. Harlan Lofgren addressed the Council and expTained that he was in the garbage business
in the City of Fridley. He explained he had been�nvolved in the meetinqs eiht the haulers
and the City siaff the previous year and the whole ordinance had been discussed. He
mentioned that all of the haulers were glad to have been a part of submitting ideas for
' the ordinance at that time. Ne indicated that the haulers had not beeinotified about the
proposed ordinance amendment at this time. He said they felt quite hurt.
,
,
Mr. Lofgren further stated that the public is not a}ways easy to please. He said there
had been quite a change in the hauling situation since the burning ban came into being.
Ne said he would like the people in the City to cooperate with the haulers and said
if you look down the streets of the City, it is possible to see the great amount fiauled.
Mr. Lofgren said if the City requires the haulers to go into the back yards for the pick-
up, they will be forced to increase the rates and hire more employees. He said if the
cans can be pTaced in front, this would allow them to give good service. Mr. Lofgren
also mentione he would have liked to have been notified concerning this consideration
and the conient of the proposed ordinance rather than finding out by hearsay.
� , Mayor Ne.e said he thought the haulers had been notified. Mayor Nee said if he hac! a
chance to look at the proposal and Mr. Lofgren said he had read it in the haliway where
, is was posted on the bulletin board. The Public Works Director said the items discussed
� at the previous meetirg had 6een taken into account in the ordinance.
�
�
'
Councilwoman Kukowski said she thought the haulers should have been notified, they do
not know what is being put togther in the ordinance. -
The Public Works Director referred to item number nine on page 2-B of the agenda
(Section 113.01 Definitions, #9) and said he felt snow and ice should be incorporated
in the section because some people plow their snow and ice into the public right of way.
Mayor Nee asked if this incTusion in the section would require people to pick up snow and
ice. • The Public Works Director explained that the City had been taking care of the
� problem with State Statutes. He further pointed out that the Attorney General had
advised that this be included in the refuse ordinance. Mayor Nee again asked af ±his
would require them to pick up the snow and ice. 7he Public Works Director said this
does not apply to the haulers, but does apply to the commercial and residential
, property owners, they should plow the snow to their own property, not the street. He
126
REGULAR COUNCIL P4EETING 0F MAY 5, 1975
suggested that after "shells in this section that "snow and ice" be added.

;.
Mr. Dick Harris, Planning Commission Chairman, said he did not understand the suggestion
concerning the addition of snow and ice. The Public Works Director said some people
dump snow and ice into the street and the City has to go out and take it out. Mr.
Harris asked if this would be_enforceable. The Public Works Director said he was talking
about plowing of driveways anck�parking lots into the street. Mr. Harris said he would
interpret the section to mean that it would require the property owner to haul the
snow and ice away from their driveways and walks. Mr. Harris said he felt this would be
an arbitrary addition and not enforceable. Mayor Nee said he did not feel this would be
in the right section. Ne mentioned that the material is to be kept in closed containers.
The City Attorney said this could be taken care of. He said he would talk to t he
Public Works Director and they would come up with an amendment that will be suiiable.
Mr. Harris mentioned that under the provisions of the ordinance, it would be a vidlation
to have a compost pile.
Mr. Harris further stated that the ordinance requiring placement of the refuse in the .
yard is not feasible in the City with no alleys, the collectors Mave to use the front. �
He said thEre should be no exposed cans except for ;he day of pick up.
The City Attorney read the section of the ordinance(Section 113.08 Placing of Containers}
to the Council and audience and said this type of placement is allowable at the present
time. . -
Councilman Starwalt said it is his understanding that some people keep their cans in the
garage and they are collected from there, if the collector can get to them.
Mayor Nee asked the reason for the provi5ion for five different types of ticenses.
The Public Works Director said this is the practice of the surrounding communitites and
the haulers operate within all of them and should be uniform.
Mr. Bailey Tiller, 1535 Gardena Avenue, asked if something could be included for snow
removal so that the collectors can gain access to the property. He mentioned there is
often 10 feet of snow bank to get through to reach the cans. Councilman Starwalt
said he understood this concern and it is not a part of the current ordinance. Mr. Tiller
said he had mentioned it so that this could be considered a part of the ordinance.
Councilwoman Kukowski asked if the provision in the section concerning the hours of
pick up could be amended to siart at 6:00 A.M. rather than 6:30 A.M. The Public Warks
Director s4id there had been a compromise in this section. He mentioned the starting
time had been 7:00 A.M. and the 6:30 A.M. was that compromise at the time the request
was made to begin collection at 6:00 A.M. He mentioned that the City receives cor�;,?aints
when the collection begins too early. Counci;woman Kukowski agreed with this comr= .
MOTION by Councilman Breider to waive the first reading of the ordinance and adopt the
ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all

voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

The City Manager exp7ained this request to be for a Datsui! Dealership and the Planning
Comnission had recor�nended approval of the request for the spec�al use permit. He
explained that there was consideration of the building plans under the Building Standards
Design-Controt Subcommittee minutes later in the agenda.
Mayor Nee said the question would be whether or not to approve the special use permit.
The Public Works Director said the stipulation recommended by the Planning Commission
at the present time, takesinto accou�t the minutes of the Building Standards and
Environmental Quality Cor�nission. He said the siipulations include the concerns of
all three bodies. �
Mr. Mark Haggerty, Attorney, representing bJ. R. Stephens, addressed the Council and
indicated that the Planning Corrmission had recommended approval of the request.
He asked the Public k'orks Director to plac° the plan of the area on the overhead
viewer. Mr. Haggerty indicated that there had been some changes proposed by the
various subcor�nittees and staff and they could see the reasons for these changes.
Mr. Haggerty,said the action on the part of the applicant had been positive on the .
suggested changes. He referred to the fence on the East River Road side or front
of the building and said this would be construc�2d of inetal screening material. He
asked the Pubiic Works Director if the samp7e cf the material was available for the
Council to review and Mr. Sobiech said the sample presented, was not available at this
time. He referred to the plan for the landscaping on the front side of the building
and explained that there is a large concrete slab existing and this would be used
to dispiay new cars. He further explained that there will be a planter installed
for additional green area. H�mentioned the plan also included landscaping of the
other areas which would be done by Bachman's.
Mr. Haggerty pointed out the locati.on of the sign on the plan (Exhibit 1) and said
this would be six by six or five by five square feet and would say Datsun and -
Win Stephens. '
Mr. Haggerty referred to the lighting plan and said all of the lights would be
directional and focused on the property and away from the traffic. He said the
lights would be turned off at nine o'clock and wou]d not bother the people of the
area of East River Road, and would not be directed to the four plexes.
Mr. Haggerty said the parking to the west side of the building wou]d be limited
to 90 stalls and any other vehicles displayed would be driven to the site wh'en
it is appropriate to fill any empty stall. Mr. Haggerty said there would be no
body shop incorporated in the p1an.
Mr. Haggerty explained the amount of traffic that the business would draw by statino
that their operation on the south side of town draws approximately 12 callers per
day. Ne said based on his studies, the traffic of the•area would be reduced.
He read a letter fromMr. Red Stang, present operator of the existing business,
A-1 Motor Sport, indicating the current traffic count to be 90 calls per day.
which exceeds the estimate.
Mr. Haggerty said the applicant had taken back the plan and made modifications in
the lighting, noise, a7d traffic conditions. He mentioned where ever there was
a concern, th�s had been considered and mentioned within the suggested stipulations
of the Planning Conmission. Mr. Haggerty explained that the recommendations of all
of the.Subcomnittees had been taken into consideration and incorporated into the
motion of the Planning Corrrmission which was unanimously approved . Mr. Haggerty
said there had been 20 hours of hearings on the request and they had tried to be
reasonable and meet all of the demands.
Mr. Haggerty requested that the Council grant the special use permit based on the
recomnendation of the Planning Commission. He asked that the permit be granted
at the present time to allow operations to begin the coming summer.
Councilman Starwalt asked what the investment in the property would be. Mr. Haggerty
said they had planned an investment of $60,000 and nov� it was almost double this
amount with the modifications. He mentioned that items such as tearing down the fence
and.insfialling another fence were costly. He continued that the landscaping would
be costly. Mr. Haggerty said they had tried to maintain good public relations with
the neighbors and this would require keeping the area in good shape and maint�ained.
Councilwoman Kukowski said the people of the area did not welcome the whole idea.
She mentioned the great many young people of the area who catch the school bus
in this area and said she would not favor any more development ort East River Road.
__._ __._

She also stated she would not have favored this at the time the present operation
received approval for operation and construction at that location.
Mr. Haggerty referred to the stipulation that was within the motion concerning
the traffic of the area and said all test driving would be done in the area of
77th out the east entrance or in the comnercial areas. Mr. Naggerty reiterated
that Mr. Red Stang had said there was approximately 90 callers a day at the present
business and they had anticipated from 50 to 60 at the most. He said there would
De a reduction in traffic by almost 50/ and the test driving would all be done in the
comnercial and industrial areas. Mr. Haggerty mentioned that Barry Blower Company
is located on the adjacent property and the property is properly zoned for this
usage. He said all they were asking for is a special use permit and they would
do everything in their power to alleviate any problems. He said they wouid comply
with all of the stipulations of the Planning Comniss.ion.
Mr. Haggerty mentioned that two people at the Planning Commission meeting had commended
the Planning Commission on the open way they handled the hearing. He added, they spent
a great deal of time and it was very open. He said all have done everything in their
power to come up with the best recommendation.
Councilwoman Kukowski said the applicant had gone out of his way to satisfy a lot
of compla.ints. She mentioned that if she had been on the Council when A-1 Motor
Sports had built, she would have voted against it.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he agreed with Councilwoman Kukowski. He �id he did not
feel the proposed plan would be possible in a residential area. He mentianed he had
been a member of the Planning Comnission for a very long time and he took their
recomnendations very seriously. He said he had spent a long time going over the minutes
of the meeting and much work has been done on the request. He said this is not a usage
that he would like to see in that a�rea, Lt would not be compatable with the area.
Mr. Haggerty said three sides of the property are abuted by commerciaT property and it
is within property zoned C-2S which is general shopping. Mr. Haggerty said many other
things could be in business there that would generate more traffic. Mr. Haggerty
said he felt Councilman Fitzpatrick's remarks were irrelevant in the area of it being
residential. Mr. Haggerty said it is not appropriate to say what should have been
done in 1968. Now, they had come up with the best possible plan, and the Planning
Comnission had done their best also.
Mayor Nee asked if two special use permits would be needed. The Public Works Director
sayd only one. He said this would be for the outdoor display area. Mayor Nee said
as he read it in the Code, they would be asking for two. One for new and ane for
used cars. He mentioned if the used and new cars wou�d need a special use permit,
would one also be needed for the outdoor display area. The Public Works Director
read this portion of the Code and indicated that the general sale and display
of aew and used cars would require one permit. Mayor Nee said the special use
permit is needed to operate the dealership. The City Attorney said it is not
significant- if one or two permits would be needed. He said this wouldl�nclude the sale
and display of the cars.
Mayor Nee mentioned that there had been some di:scussion on if the applicant would be
interested in not having the outside display.
Mr. Haggerty said they were concerned about the concrete slab outside of the
building in this discussion. He mentioned that it had beenmentioned that this be
removed and this slab is very thick and large and it would be a large capital
investment to tear it up. He said they had attempted to work with the City and the
Engineering Depart�ent to come up with a design that would be pleasant and funetional
for this area rather than taking up the existing slab.
Mayor Nee asked if the applicant would be interested in nat displaying�the cars
outside. Mr. Haggerty said he did not know how this could be done.
Mr. Paul Burkholder, 7860 Alden Way N. E., addressed the Council and said he would
like to present approximately 150 signed statements taken as a random sampling of
the.Fridley area which concerns the public safety if the special use permit should
be granted.
MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to receive Petition No. 6-1975 eoncerning fihe request

Mr. Burkholder said when traveling in the area that afternoon, he had seen two
school buses stopping in the area. He mentibned that there was a police car stopped
in the back of one, which was necessary because of the traffic inthe area. He said
this is the worst area for people to run the stop sigr on the bus. He said he had
lived in the area for over 11 years and had seen the squad cars follow the buses from
the elementary schools, Junior High and Senior High. He said he knew that he was
expressing the thought of many of the people of the neighborhood in that this could
create a great safety hazard. He requested that the request be. catagorically denied.

MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to receive the letter in opposition to the Datsun
Dealership on East River Road due to the traffic situation, dated April 28, 1975, and
signed by Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, Mr. Kenneth Sporre, Mr. Charles Seeger, and Mrs.
Jianice Seeger (Petition No. 7-1975). Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Sporre said there had been 239 traffic acc.idents on East River t�oad since 1973.
Mayor Nee asked if this had been for a two year period and Mr. Sporre said Since
the beginning of T973. Mr. Sporre said it" is his understanding that there had
been 40 accidents sinc� January 1975. Mr. Sporre commented that one takes his life
ih his hands when he rides a bike on the East River Road.
� Mr. John Dumphy, 155 Stonybrook Way, addressed the Council a�d said',it was his belief
� that in time, Mr. Stephens will purchase property to the north of the existing
property and expand to double the present size. He ;;uggested some restriction on
this type of expansion and asked'the Council to consider tttese comments when making the
decision. .
'
Mr. Paul Burkholder indicated that he thought the map on the screen was incorrect.
He said he thought this was sloppy of the City officials and he mentioned he helped
pay the City employee's salary with his interests.
' Mr. Aiex Barna, 560 Hugo Street N. E., said he would hate to have P9r. Stephens think
the City does not want the Datsun Dealership. He mentioned that there is a large
parcel of property to the southeast of the pareel 'oeing discussed which is vacant.
Mr. Barna said he favored the Datsun Dealership ir:. FridTey, but not at this location.
�
\
�
Mayor Nee informed the applicant that the City of Fridley will issue revenue bonds
if they would like to build a building.
The City Attorney advised the Council that the first order of business would be
the consideration of the special use permit. He said the Council at one time
said the property should be zoned commercial and indicated in the zoning ord9nance
what type of private business may be a]lowed on that property. The City Attorney
said he was speaking in generalities. He added, in adopting the zoning ordinance,
certain uses would be permitted in this type of zoning and others wiii be approved
upon obtainin5 a speciai use permit. He mentioned by adoption of the provisions
for the special use permit, the Council indicated that the permit will be
available unless there is some valid reason that they should not grant it at this
location. He said ihe burden would be on the Ctty Council to prove this reason
because the Counci] in adopting the ordinance said it would be permitted. The City
Attorney continued to explain that if the special use permit is denied, they would have
the burden of providing evidence and findings of fact that would indicate the reason
for denial.
The City Attorney suggested that if there:is a thought on behalf ofi.the Council that
there will be deniaT, there should be a public hearing with a:record of the evidence.
Ne said the recorrmendation and testimony before the various committees and commissions
should be reviewed. He said the evidence presented to the Subcommittees should be
presented directly to the Council if there is some question in the approval of the
permit.
Tlie City Attorney said he had made a study and there have been a number of supreme
court decisions in the iast two to three years where the municipality had been overrulled
in their decision to deny a special use permit. He said he had read many lately,
and suggested that the Council maintain their record as good as possible.

Mr. Haggerty said he would like to look at the .letter that had been read into the
record by Mr. Ken Sporre and Mr. Sporre provided him with a copy. Mr. Haggerty
said he was surprised at the feeTings of the people of the area, he thought all of
the concerns had been taken care of in the modifications of the plan. Mr. Haggerty
said he agreed with the explanation of the special use permit as noted by the City
Attorney. He said the Council has the burden of proof to provide evidence that there
is some type of extreme hazard or nuisance affecting the public welfare of the area.
Mr. Haggerty said the letter he had read from Mr. Red Stang concerning the present
traffic count into the business wou1d discourage this type of evidence because
there would be a reduction in traffic with the proposed use.
Mr. Haggerty referred to the recom�nendation o.f the Planning Commission in that the
special use permit could be issued for a two year period and if there are any
problems with the traffic, it can be withdrawn.
Mr. Haggerty recalled there had been a remark made concerning the expansion of the
business to the north and indicated in comparison with the operation on the south
side of town, they would see no need for future expansion to meet the needs of the
business. He referred to the 14th stipulation of the Planning Commission and indicated
that if there is any plans for future expansion, there would have to be a public hearing
at that time.
Mr. Naggerty addressed the point made concerning the 90 stalls for the display area
and said this had not been picked out of the air, the applicant had meet with the City
Planner, Mr. Jerry Boardman, and had figured this out according to the area and the
space required for access of emergency vehicles.
Mr. Haggerty said Mr. Stephens said he would not expand to the north and the staff
felt that if additional parking may be needed in the future, that this be considered.
He again stated that according to the business in south Minneapolis, there would be
no need for expansion. He also mentioned the remark made concerning the purchase
of another parcel of property in the City. He commented that some property lends
itself to this type of business and some does not. He said there would be two other
factors to consider, whether the land is for sale, and whether it is out of their
price range.
Mr. Haggerty mentioned the concerns of the area residents regarding the traffic and
listed the other uses which would be al�owed within the Code 'indicating that many
of the allowable uses would create more traffic•than the one proposed. He also
said that these uses can be allowed in the area without approval of the special
use permit. Mr. Naggerty mentioned the traffic situatian in the area of Viking
Chevrolet and thought they would not create any traffic during the day, but this may
increase on Saturday and evenings. Mr. Haggerty said a car is the second largest
purchase that people make in their lifetime, and if everyone who lives in the
area came in and purchased a vehicle, there would not be as much traffic into the
business as there is at the present time. He requested that the Council grant
the special use permit that evening and that there not be any delay. Mr. Haggerty
said the Subcomnittees had given the matter proper consideration and the plans
had been modified to consider all of the objections. He asked that the Subcommittee's
recorronendations be given proper consideration and asked the Council to grant the
special use permit with all 14 stipulations suggested in the motion of the Planning
Commission.
Mr. Haggerty said he felt if the stipulations were read and expla�ned to the people
of the area, this would alleviate the fear the people were expressing that evening.
Mr. Naggerty read the first stipulation regarding the plan and indicating that it
be recorded as Exhibit 1. He mentioned the plan had been modified and improved
for landscaping and grounds since the Planning Consnission Meeting. Mr. Haggerty
read the second stipulation and explained that they had agreed to turn off the
lights at 9:00 P.M., except for the security lights on the building, The third
stipulation coneerning the installation of fencing was read and he said they agreed
to comply with the requirement. Mr. Haggerty read the fourth stipulation concerning
noise and explained that this had been discussed in regard ta the loud speaker system
and Mr,. 5tephens said if this was not acceptable, they would go to some sort of hand
radia for comnunication and this would be feasible.
Mr. Haggerty continued listing the stipulations recommended by the Planning Corronission
and referred to .the fifth stipulation concerning the sign. He said the sign would be
on the warehouse portion of the building and the pole sign would not be moved. He
mentioned that this would eliminate a distraction.

The sixth stipulation indricaiing that the sign on the south side of the building be
� retained and the sign on the north side of the building would be removed was read.
Mr. Haggerty explained that there are two small pylon signs and one would remain
and the other would be removed. He indicated that the one remaining near the
entrance would be renewed,

Mr. Haggerty read the seventh stipulation concerning the en�rances and said the,y would
remain as shown on Exhibit l.
Mr. Haggerty read the eighth stipulation suggesting that the speciai use permit
be renewed in the period of two years. He mentioned if there is some problem such
as traffic, the Council would have the right to deny the permit at that time.
Mr. Haggerty explained .that ihe ninth stipulation,.providing that the permit not
be transferrable, took away the right of the property owner to sell the property
for its continued use, but they were willing to go along with this. The tenth
stipulation, that no parking be allowed in the residentiai areas for business
purposes was read and Mr. Naggerty comnented that there would be no visitor parking
or employee parking off the premis�s. The eleventh stipulation regarding test
driving and limiting it to the comnercial and i�dustriai areas was read, and Mr.
Haggerty said the traffic is heavy in area, but it had all been there in 1974. He
explained that they agreed with this st.ipulation. He explained that the salesperson
always accompanies the test driver and this could be controlled.
Mr. Naggerty read suggested stipulation number twelve that all City Code requirements
be met, number thirteen, that the number of stalls be limited to 90 for parking,
and he said he had aTready read and explained the fourteenth stipulation. Mr.
�laggerty said the applicant agrees to all of the proposed stipulations and the City
would be able to maintain a hold on what can be done.
Mr. Haggerty said a tremendous amount of time has been spent on the subject at the
various meetings and he requested that the permit be granted as recommended by the
Planning Comnission.
Mayor Nee said the amount of traffic on East River Road had diminished in 1974
because Marshall was closed,
Mayor Nee asked if the applicant could operate without the display area in the front
of the building on East River Road. Mr. Stephens said it would be difficult to
operate with the iimited amount of display in the showroom. He said he felt it
would not be possible. He added, they would have to display some new and some
used cars. Mr. Stephens said the zoning is proper far this type of use and he felt
that the fears of the area people are uhfounded. He feit that this bt�siness would
create less traffic than the other types of businesses which would be allowed without
the use of the special use permit. Mr. Stephens continued to comment that he did
not think there would be any complaints, and if there is they would take care of the
concern. He said he did not come to the City to make enemies, he thought he was doing
good for the City.
Counciiman Starwalt said he thought the Council was involved in another emotional
item. He said he represented many people, but he did not represent those people
abjecting to the special use permit. He mentioned that people want jobs and oppor-
tunities, but they a�ant ihem in some piace eise in town. Counci]man Starwalt said
Viking Chevrolet displays cars and he did not know why they did not have any more
accidents on Highway #65.
Mayor Nee said for many reasons like; limited access.
Councilman Starwalt said he woutd be in favor of granting the special use permit.
He said most of the objections have been suitab]y taken care of to a fashion. He
said he could see this use before he could see many other uses of this area.
Mayor Nee asked if there was anyone present who wished to address the Council.
Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton Street N. E., addressed the CounciT and indicated
she would iike to refer to the City Code. She said the Council was there to decide
whether or not to issue the special use permit. She indicated that she believed
that the issuance of the special use•permit required some Council discretion. She
referred to the section of the Code that indicated if the use•was a threat to the
heaith, welfare or safety of the public it should be denied. He also said the
section on Auto Service Stations should be considered within this discussion. She
read this section of the Code and said it goes on to state that the Council has to use
some discretion. • '

RE6ULAR COUNCIL MEE7ING OF MAY 5, 1975
PAGE 10
Mrs. Sporre again stated that the Council would have to look at all possible aspects
to determine if the use would be a threat to the health, welfare or safety of the public:
She mentioned that the use of Highway #65 is a different matter since Highway #65 was
designed in another manner. She stated that the people are getting killed on East
River Road and she believed that the private property rights exceed the safety factor
expressed.
Mr. Bob Erickson, member of the Environmental Quality Commission> addressed the Council
and said that the consensus listed in the minutes of the Environmental Quality
Corranission are somewhat. misconstrued as presented in the Council agenda. He stated
that the Commission✓did not agree that this permit should be approved. He commented
that the EQC received the information with no prior study time and had commented on
it because they felt they may not get another chance to express their cpinions. He
said they did not feel their action was for recommendation for approval, they merely
listed some items that should be brought up. He mentioned one of the items they were
concerned about was that the extra entrance on East River Road not be used. He said
the applicdnt had said this would be no problem when he had attended their meeting.
He questioned why this was still a part of the plan. Mr. Erickson said he had soine
'reservations concerning the proposal.
Mr. Roland Benjamin, 6516 Country Side, Edina, representative of Win Stephens explained
that Mr. Darrel Clark, Community Development Administrator, had said there must be an
easement on East River Road because the property to the north of this would not have
have any access to East River Road without the easement.
Mr. Paul Burkholder indicated he was in the real estate business and thought that
because there was a need for an easement, this did not mean there was a need for an
entrance. He said the easement �ould not mean that there would have to be a road.
He mentioned the parcel of land would be land locked without an entrance.
Mayor Nee said he would like an indication from the Co�ncil on their thoughts on
�he consideration of the special use permit.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said the City Attorney had indicated that if the Council had
thoughts to deny the Special Use Permit, there should be a public h�aring with the
minutes of the meetings documenting the findings of fact and evidence. He said the
Council did have copies of the minutes of the Subcommittee meetings.

CONSIDERATION OF INQUIRY REGARDING WATER�PROBLEM AT 5950 BENJAMIN STREET N. E. REQUEST
BY MR. ROBERT ERICKSON :
Mr. Robert Erickson addressed the Council and indicated there is a continuing problem
with the water from the streets running across this property. He passed out materials
indicating this problem to the Council and also some pictures of the eroded area. Mr.
Erickson explained when the City put in the street on Gardena and Benjamin, they put
the street in so that the storm sewer water drains on his property. He pointed this out
to b� 5950 Benjamin Street. Mr. Erickson referred to the City's map of the area and
indicated it was a rather conservative map. He sa:� the water drains into his property
from the north one half of Gardena and also from Benjamin Street beyond 60th.
Mr. Erickson said he would-like to go over a few figures and noted there is 26,000
gallons of drainage into the area which would create a pond three feet deep and from
30 to 4Q feet wide. He continued stating this is a recurrent thing and he had been
attending meetings with the Council concerning this problem for two and a half years.
He said the last time he had appeared before the Council, he had been told that the
Council would get back to him with some solution to the problem. He said after about a
year, he thought it was about time to�again request some solution. Mr. Ericl:sion said
he was requesting the City tn initiate the plan he had proposed for the storm sewer
drainage and also take care of the damage to his property. He said he would like to
know what the City planned to do about h.is property.
Mayor Nee said there had been three concepts presented to the Council for solution
of the problem. He asked Mr. Erickson which of the three proposals he was referring
to. Mr. Erickson said he would like the less expensive proposal. He explained this
was proposed at the cost of $20,OOo.
Mayor Nee asked what the problem with. the proposal had been. He asked if there would
be some problem with freezing. He said he saw no problem with the proposal. The
Public Works Director comnented that this was not a permanent solution to the problem.
Ne said the solution should take into account a11 of the water in this drainage district.
Mr. Erickson said he did not know of any objections to the plan he had proposed. He
said no one in the area has any plans for selling their property, they would like to
leave it natural. He also mentioned he would have no objection to the natural water
being directed to the area, but he did object to the directing of the storm sewer water
being directed to his property. He said a catch basin had been installed and the water
is draining into his private property. He said the City is not taking care of the
drainage and he had thought that this was to have been taken care of. He said he had tried
to get some actian for two and a half years. '
Mayor Nee said he had gone by the area and it was dry. Mr. Erickson said it drains
into the area and stands for a couple of days after a rain. He said it would be
better to�review the area in a rain fail. Ne said he thought at this time, the Council
would agree that it is execssive and it would be evident what kind of damage can be
done.
Mr. Chares Majeski, 1570 60th Avenue N. E., was pointed out as the adjacent property
owner.
Mr. Joseph Peterson 1565 Gardena Avenue N. E., addressed the Council and said he
owned the property at 1565 and also 1568 Gardena. He said he had no intention of selling
the back Lot, he had purchased the property in this area for a large yard.
Mr. Joe Pete'rson said he felt everyone on the block is involved in t{iis problem. He said
there is a circle of houses with vacant lots behind the houses and all five lots slope
into the valley and this is a correnunity area for the people on the block. He said
the people of the area have the best nature center around. He said all of the water
is being deposited on this property, it does not remain there, it settles into the low
area. Mr. Peterson further explained that if there was some sewer system installed �n
the area, the lower area would not be filling up with street sand.

Mr. Erickson said there are people in the area that had been there since before the
� improvement of the street and they have said that this was not the situation before
this time. He indicated that there had been a garden in the low area many years
ago and now this would be impossible because it would rot.
Councilwoman Kukowski said she had heard of this garden and thought this was in the
low area before the installation of the street.
Mr. Erickson said the area being drained 9s now greater and the ititensity of the
water being drained is greater. He said the people that had been in the area for
many years would attest to this. Ne �hought the engineering facts would a]so attest
to this. Water had run into a larger area before, now it is directed into his yard.
Mayor Nee asked if the people of the area are willing to petition for and share the
cost of the drainage system.
Mr. Erickson said he is opposed to the plan proposed by the City and he would favor
the alternate plan. Mayor Nee said this would be the plan for tfie less expensive
plan.
The Public Works Director said he did not feel t�,at this would solve the ultimate
problems of the existing area. He �id the people of the area say that they do.not
want to develop the back lots. He said this had happened inthe City before and the
peop7e had split the lots later.
The Public Works Qirector said it would be possible to take care of the water coming
from the street with some piping to the low area. Ne said he would favor the elimination
of the total water coming into the area. He said if one of the temporary type systems
would be put in at this time, the City would have to go back and eventually construct
alternate systems such as "B" or "C•".
Mr. Erickson said the plan he proposed would take everything from the street and run
5t to the right of way down to 60th. He said the cost of this would be $29,800 versus
$40,000. He felt his proposal would take care of the problem that exists at the
present time. He said he did not feel that there was anymore potential development in the
area. He said if a developer would purchase land in the future, it would be feasible
to have him take care of the improvements in the area at that time.
Mayor Nee asked if the water could be directed down the street and picked up in another
area. The Public Works Directar said the water would have to be picked up and taken from
the area. He said he did not know who would benefit exeept the one involved. He said
it would be hard to show tne cost benefit without a permanent solution to the problems.
Mr. Erickson said there is a drainage district and he thought the people could be
assessed for this. He said the assessments had been applied to the work done already.
He said it had been done inthe past that assessments were taken from people when they
are in the district. He said this could be done at the present time.
The Public Works Director said the alternate "B" as suggested by Mr. Erickson could
be instalied at this time, bu� in the future, it wouid be necessary to come back and
say that there is another assessment for the permanent solution to the area probl�ems.
He said this would depend on the development for the permanent solution to the area
problems. He said this would depend on the deve7opment of the remainder of the
property.
Mr. Bailey Tiller, 1535 Gardena Street N. E., said he had paid $6,000 in assessments
on his property and he is about to retire. Mr. Tiller recalied before the development
\ of the street in the area, there was never any problems with the water until the City
Engineering Department come in and chopped down the hill on Gardena and now all the
water from Gardena goes down this way to Benjamin Street. He said no one had any complaints
before when the water went dowrr Gardena in both directions. He said th�s did not
' hurt anyone. He said the hump on the roadway had been cut off and now it drains on
someone else's land. Mr. Tiller suggested that the hump be put back to keep the
� water on Gardena Avenue rather than going down Benjamin.
Mr. Tiller•confirmed the statement that there was a garden in the low area where the
. water now drains and he said this was 33 years ago. Mr. Tiller again remarked that
the water should be directed to the natural flow and no one would have any problem,
Mr.Tiller comnented that Mr. Erickson�is getting most of the water that drains from
his property.

Councilman Starwalt said if this is corrected, Mr. Tiller could be assessed for the
improvement. Mr. Tiller said the Engineering Department had directed the water to the
private property.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the instaTlation of an aspaTt berm would rectify the
problems. Councilman Starwalt said he had gained quite a bit of knowledge on the
current problems and thought Mr. Erickson had purchased the land without knowledge of
the problem. He mentioned that when it rained after the purchase of the property,
Mr.Frickson did not know what to do about this problem. He said for P•4r. Erickson
to indicate that this was the City problem, he would have to take this statement
to task. Coun�ilman Starwalt recalled.the discussion of the previous year and
indicated that the water was to be directed to the open area and not wash out the
property by the rocks.
Mr. Erickson said this had been suggested, but he did not agree with this suggestion.
He said he had never indicated that this would be an acceptable solution to the
problem. Councilman StarY�alt said he had hoped that Mr. Erickson would say that this
would be an acceptable solution. Mr. Erickson said he had indicated that he would do
this to protect himself if the City did not take any action.
Councilman Starwalt indicated that not all of tha people of the area dre in favor
of this improvement and being assessed for it. .
Councilman Starwalt askec� if it may be feasible to pipe the water from the street
to the low area solving the problems in the grass area. '
Mr. Erickson asked if this would be in lieu of the system. He said this would pipe
the water from the catch basin and right of way to the lou! area. He indicated this
may be feasible except for the occasional overflow. He said this would be as long
as the water did not run across his'property. He said he would not accept this
temporary solution for the• storm sewer. He mentioned that there are funds escrowed
for the construction of a storm sewer in this area and he thought it was up to the
city to plan such a storm sewer.
Councilman Starwalt said he thought Mr. Erickson had filled the ditch. Mr. Erickson
saicf�e had not. He said there was a gravel road and ditch and there was never any
problem. He �id when he had looked at the house to purchase it, the City was in the
process of installing the street. He said when he moved in, the street was completed
and the catch basin was installed and the drainage problems began. He said he had
talked to the neighbors and there was no problem and no dead qrass in the low area
from water drai�:ning into i*. Ne said after the first good rain the yard was cut
away. He continued to comment that there had been this problem far the past two and
a half years. Mr. Erickson said there was a small ditch across one area, but it
did not carry water.
Councilman Starwalt said he had been told that the former owner had a ditch in the
area to stop this problem. Mr. Erickson said he had not talked to the former owner.
Mr. Erickson continued to state that they were prepared to have some runoff into the
low area, but not to the extent that it has been.
Councilman Starwalt asked if it would be possible to plant a garden in the low area.
Mr. Erickson said no. He said after a rain the low area is under water for about
two days.
Mr. Joe•Peterson asked why the City would not go along with hir. Erickson's proposal.
He said this would be the least expensive and everyone on the block would be happy
� about it with the exception of one long time resident. Mr. Pe'�erson said he had
, lived in the area for 2£3 years, but he had just bought this property. He said his
assessments are not paid. Mr. Peterson said he thought the City wants to construct
a street through the center section of the property. He said the City maps indicate
there is a street in the area arid the name of it is Hill Drive. fle continued to
comnent that there is no street there. Mr. Peterson said he thought the City
would be happy to put in the road and the sewer system in the area. Councilman
Starwalt asked Mr. Peterson if he would favor the $20,000 plan and Mr. Peterson
sayd yes. Ne said he would favor this plan over the other two. Councilman Starwalt
recalled when he had visited Mr. Peterson, Mr. Peterson had indi�ated he did not
• favor this. Mr. Peterson responded stating that at this visit, three plans had been
set before him, and he �vas under the impression that he had to take one of the three
' plans over another.
� Councilman Starwalt said the City is not pushing any of the three plans. Ne said if

Mr. Peterson wants one of the plans instituted, and the people of the area also favor this,
there would be no problem. Mr. Peterson said something would have to be done. He
questioned what would happen if everyone deposited their garbage in one yard, and
compared this to the problem being experienced by Mr. Erickson. Mr. Peterson said some-
thing would have to 6e done about the drainage problem in the Erickson yard. He
indicated that Mr. Erickson was the only one with this drainage into his yard. Mr.
Peterson said it did not drain into his own property.
Councilman Starwalt said this could be done with the understandinq that if there are
any future improvements, the property owners would be assessed for this.
Mayor Nee questioned if the City would have to issue the lot splits in the future.
He mentioned that two of the lots inthe area had already been split. He said he did
not think the City would.be compeled to put inthe street even if the lots were split.
Mrs. B. L. Lillemoen , 1583 6ardena Avenue N. E., said she liyed on the corner lot and
there is no road on her property and there is a road indicated on the map on the
screen. She said she had no road on her deed.
Mrs. Lillemoen suggested that Mr. Erickson creatF a ditch to the pine trees. She
mentioned other area residents who had installed such a ditch. She continued to state
that she could not afford the kind of assessments that would be created by such a
project. Mrs. Lillemoen said Mr. Erickson had duq holes around all of the trees to
get the roots out, why cQUldn't he dig a ditch and put in the pipe. She mentioned
that�this is the property owner's problem and not all of the other residents should
have to pay for it. Mrs. Lillemoen also mentioned that the storm sewer line could
possibly be directed to the outfall in the area of Rice Creek rather than routed
around in the suggested manner. She thought that with the present proposal the digging
would have to be just as deep.
The Public Works Director andicated that the storm sewer referred to by Mrs. Li'lemoen
did not go to Rice Crrek, it was directed to Moore Lake. '
Counci]man Starwalt said they would have to dig twelve feet deep to go to the suggested
. system. Mrs. Lillemoen said they would have to go deep to get the currently proposed
� system. Councilman Starwalt said the cost k�ouTd be far greater with this proposal by
Mrs. Lillemoen.
Mrs. Lillemoen said she objected to the construction of a storm sewer in this area.
She said this was not necessary at the present time. She further stated that no
one wants the road installed in the center of the p�°operty.
Mrs. Lillemoen said she thought the construction of a system of clay tile or culvert
covered with grass would be a proper system for this area.
, Councilman Starwalt said he was not prepared to move on 'the installation of the storm
sewer at the present meeting. He saizl any one of the three proposals, or something
better could be used if the people of the area agree. Counciiman Starwalt said he
thought the suggestion of the Gardena runoff should be discussed.

Mr. Dennis Schneider, 6190 Stinson Blvd., addressed the CounciT and indicated he
was not familiar witli.ihe current problem, but added less than one month ago, the Council
said it was the City's responsibility to tal;e care of the water if it drained on
private property. Mr. Schneider said he thought the CoucniT was being quite inconsistant
Mr. Joe Peterson said everyone agrees that something should be done. Everyone lives
on the street and everyone contributes to the water. He also mentioned that one
after another, the neighbors had btacktopped their driveways and there is more street
area now, Mr. Peterson questioned the method of construction that would install a hump
in the street at the present and additional section of improvement in pieces, He
suggested that the complete system be installed at one time and at the present time
because the costs of constuction are steadily increasing with the delay.
Mr. Erickson said he thought that his suqgestion for a solution would be better at the
present time. He said that.no one knows when the area would develop, this may be
20 years. He also said that the developer of the property, if there is one, couid
take care of the improvements at that time.
Mr. Tiller said the hump he had suggested would not need to be very large, this could
consist of one load of asphalt.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 5, 1975 PAGE 16
Mayor Nee asked where the water would go if the hump was created, would it just stand,
Councilman Starwalt answered that before it ran down Gardena to the east. Councilman
Starwalt said he thought this would be a good solution. Mr. Tiller commented that he
and others in the area were very unhappy wi.tb the consturction of 60th. He added, the
drainage was created to other people's land. He thouqht that the drainage should
go to the storm sewer, not on private property.
Mayor Nee corrmented to Mrs. Lillemoen that there is a new provision for senior citizens
where their assessments can be deferred until they sell their property. He said the
Council could postpone levying the assessments until the time the property is sold.
Mayor Nee said Mrs. Litlemoen would not have to have unusual concern about possible
assessments.
Mrs. Lillemoen comnented further on possible solutions to the problem and again indicated
that no one wants a road constructed.
fNr. Peterson said he had money in escorw for the storm sewer project which had to be
placed in escrow with the City at the time he had purchased his home. He said it
was. his understanding that one person does want h�s money back at the present time.
He said if this is the case, would they have to F,.y for this storm sewer construction
some time in the future. He asked if they would have to take a second mortage out on
their homes when the money is in escrow.
The City Manager said this concern has a long history. He said if the area had not•
been developed, there would be no drainage problems. He said the construction of
additional homes and driveways is going to accelerate the problem. He said thewater
does not seep into the �round anymore because of the development of the area. He said
the amount of runoff and the intensity had increased, this will happen when the land
has been tampered with. '
The City Manager said the Crx�ncil had allowed some of the property to be split and some
people desired to develop their land and it was split. He said there are two on the
south side and one on the north side. He said these properties have no access. He
said if the Council wants to change direction, this could be done. He recalled in
1972 there had been a proposal for storm sewer in the entire area, but the people opposed
this. He said if the system had been constructed at that time, the cost would have been
two-thirds of the cost of today. He said this would be a matter of going along with
the desire of the people of the area. He said even if the project had been ordered,
the system has not been installed. The City Manager said there is no question af whether
the storm drainage ran to this area before, it did, now, with the development of the
area, it gets there sooner and more intensly. The City Manager said it would be possible
to help direct the water to the low portion of property and it would also be possible
to create a hump in the road, but this would only direct the water to someone else's
property. He said money could be taken from the maintenance budget to help in directing
this water. Another alternative would be for.the City to acquire the property for the
easement and drain the area into it. He added, if the property is acquired, the
neighborhood would have to be assessed for this. He said this would be the less expensive
alternative to follow. He said the project could be initiated to install a system along
Benjamin and 60th if the area would be willing to accept the assessment. The installation
of the project in the area would be very expensive. He hoped there would be more �
money in escrow for.the area and tie system could be installed.
The City Manager said the City could create the berm on Gardena, secondly they
could work with Mr. Erickson to minimize the current problems and this would be without
any direct cost to anyone. Thirdly, the City could acquire land and assess the entire
District. He said a fourth alternative would be if everyone in the area agreed, and the
entire drainage district could be assessed for the improvements. Ne said the next
proposal would be the fifth, to wait until the area is devaloped. The City Manager said
any of the three iast proposals would get the whole neighborhood involved. He
�nentioned that the Council could not decide on this action when only two or three people
are at the present meeting.
Mr. Ericksan said the water from the entire drainage district is being directed to his
property, He said he did not believe the assessing was being done in the manner just
stated, wheh he was being assessed for improvements in other areas. He said the whole
� district is assessed. He mentioned that money had been escrowed and the City had
indicated that when there is enough money escrowed, the system would be installed.
' He said if property is sold in the area, the people would have to pay and never
receive anything for this money. He said 3f the City would be wiTling to pipe the
water from the catch basin to the low area, he would beH�iTl'ir� to accept this
'�.� solution just so that the water is not running across his front yard. He said he would

PAGE 17
work with the City in dedicating the necessary easements. Mr. Erickson said he
would not want his escrow money applied to this temporary construction.
The City Manager said he is sympathetic with Mr. Erickson and the problem on his
property. He said the City Coucnil should be cognizant wiih the problem and he said
he would not want to get into a legal battl.e with Mr. Erickson. He mentioned that the
City would have to be sensitive to Mr. Erickson's problem and also to the eniire
neighborhood. He again mentioned that they would have to take care of the whole
drainage problem and the property could be acquired to do this. He mentTOned that the
city does own one quarter of the qroperty,aiready. He said the cheapest solution to the
problems would be to acquire the property and this would not allow any further development.
Mayor Nee asked if.theCity had received any request for the development of the street.
The City Manager said no, the property could be acquired and everyone in the area could
be assessed. He said many of the alternatives have to have the consent of the whole
area.
Mayor Nee suggested that this consideration be brought back at ±he first meeting in
June and the people of the area talk to the Ward Councilman, Councilman Starwalt, and
the City Manager to determine if in the interim some agreanent can be reached.
Mr. Erickson said the real temporary thing would be to pipe the drainage across the
yard and if it is underground, this would be agreeable as a temporary solution:
The�Public Works Director said there is a possibility that the pipe could create
a flood in the roadway. Mayor Nee said this would allow several weeks to work on same
solution. Councilman Starwalt said he had talked to Mr. Erickson and he had indicated
that he would go along with the piping proposal. He said he had not considered the freezing.
He indicated if there wouTd be some way to alleviate this problem, he thought this
would be a good solution if the escrow account would not be jeopardized as it exists.
Mr. Erickson .pointed out that it would be impossible for the City to acquire the land
' � for the natural drainage, since this easement would be across his front yard. He
requested if something is to be done, that this be on the side yard line as is done
. in all other instances when easements are acquired for piping.
� The City Manager said there shouid be some direction on the part of the Council because
there is a limit to what can be done. Ne mentioned that there are escrow monies being
obtained for the area and he questioned how long these �tt4.t:t1d be held. He asked the
Council to set a time. He said either this should be done or the easements should
be acquired. Mr. Erickson said this could not be done, because they would have to
, acquire his front yard. Ne said they would end up paying an assessment and having
the same problem.
�
'�
�
,
�
The City Attorney said there is no question whether water is allowed to flow there.
He mentioned even if the City has not created additional water in the area, the City
faces some liability for the erosion. The City Manager said he thought the City has
legal and probably some morai obligation to take care of the problem. He 5aid another
factor that has to be cons9dered is the escrow money. He said this is to be credited
to the project and if the money is held any longer, there has to be a project in
reality in the near future. He said the City would have the option to order the
project and to use the escrow monies for this project. He mentioned that the other
developers in the area are being required to escrow money and all homes that are sold
in the area have to do the same. He said the Council would have to either order the
project or release the escrow money in a relativeiy short time.
Mr. Joe Peterson addressed the Council and directed his remarks to the alternative of
� the acquisition of the land and said the City has the right to condemn property. he
� mentioned that the City has the right to do what they want, but this is the type of
activity that he had gone over seas to fight, and he objected to the government going
in and taking over people's property. fie said he did not like this kind of scare
� tactic where the government said they would come in and take the iand away. He
comnented that he had worked hard to build up a home for his children and he would not
want it to always be in the back of his mind that the City may come in and take it away.
�
Councilmah Starwalt said the City Manager was not suggesting this. 7hfs was just one
alternative brought to the Council's attention. Mr. Peterson said'he ob.iected to this
kind of scare tactic. Councilman Starwalt said if this was the case, the people of the
area would be a part of the discussion and decision. He added, this would involve the
whole drainage district. .
Mr. Tiller said he had not noticed any problem until the change in the street. He said if
140
RE6ULAR COUNCIL MEETIN6 OF MAY 5, 1975 PAGE 18
the hump was still in the street, the drainage would go half in one direction and half
in another. He said now,ihe drainage is directed in only one direction. He mentioned
that under the area there is a creek. He asked if it would be possible to direct the
storm water to the creek in �he ground. Playor Nee said the staff is present and
if this is possible it would be considered.
Councilman Breider asked if Mr. Peterson would object to the street being installed.
Mr. Peterson said something had to be done> t��t the area residents had no intention
of splitting their property. He asked what the City was waiting for.
Councilman Breider said he had talked to another area resident who had indicated that
the pipe type of drainege would be agreeable to him.
Mayor Nee said another question would be if the Council is going to ar�der the project
or not, what would happen to the escrow money.
Councilman Breider said another question he had was if the water settled or stood
for some length, of time. Mr. Erickson said the water stands for two to three days
after a rain. Councilman Breider asked how many times this had happened the previous
sumnter. Mrs. Erickson said the last summer she co,•id not remember that well, but the
previous summer there was mud in the low area all of the year. She added, it never
dried out. . � �
Mr. Er.ickson addressed the question raised about the damage done to the yard. He
said if the permanent system is not completed at this time, something should be done.
Councilman Breider said he thought is wouid be difficult to develop� any of the back
lots. He mentioned that only six ar seven in the area could be developed. Mr. Peterson
said it would not be possible to develop that many because the City owns some parts
of it.
Mr. Erickson said they constantly discussed whether the property will be developed and
when it will. He said he did not think the whole area should be held up for this
deliberation.
Councilman Breider conunentnd that he really did not know. Mayor Nee said the Council
does not intend to support future development of the area. He questioned the City
manager on this statement. The City Manager said he had given the Council four
suggestions, and he could not give them direction. He said if the Council feels they
will not develop the area, they could praceed with any of the alternatives. He said
in this case, the Council shculd choose one of the three alternatives. He said they
could also decide that they will not do anything ever. He said if this is the case,
the money that is escrowed would have to go back to the people. He said from there on,
the City would say they have no project and the people would have to live with the
problem. He again mentioned that the least expensive way•would be to acquire land
and access the property o��!ners in the entire district.
Councilman Starwalt said he would like to suggest that the Administration prepare
plans and submit them to the Council for the cost of 6erming of Gardena and also
the plans for the piping of the water from the catch basin to the low area, and •
submit any other alternatives that m�y be considered. He mentioned that if the area
is developed, in the long run the cost of the piping would be wasted. He said he
would like this brought back to.the Council in approximately three weeks. Mayor
Nee asked Councilman Starwalt if�he wanted to go to the public hearing on the pro�ect
and Councilman Starwalt corrmented, not before the Council received the cost figures.
The City Manager said all af the people affected would have to be present, not just
four. Fle said it could not be resolved without the input of all of the people.
He mentioned of the four alternatives presented, one should be reasonably acceptab'e.
MOTION by Counciln�an Starwalt to d.irzct the administration to prepare plans for the
berming of Gardena and also the plans and cost figures for the Qiping of the storm
drainage from the catch basin to the lower portion of the Ericksun property and that
this be brought back to the Council to consider at the first meeting in June. Seconded
by Cauncilwoman Kukowski.
The City Manager said this is only a very small part of the whole area. He said the
Coun�il would also have to address the escrow problem He said he is receiving calls
from peaple on this concern from time to•time.
Councilman Breider said he hoped that when this consideration is brought back with the
�` plans and costs that this would be included by the administration. He said he would
,`

like a recommendation. He mentioned that he could not see the back property being
developed. Mayor Nee said he agreed with this comnent. .
The City Manager said the current property owners may notsnli't their property, but
what if the property is sold. Councilman Breider said he did not feel that there
would be any more development in the future in ihis area, pei°haps only one driveway.
The City Manager said if this is the case, it cvould not be possible to have another
street in the area.
Mr. Erickson said this is what he had been telling the Council. Mr. Erickson asked
if the plan he had proposed to the Counci] had been rejected. The City Manager said
a71 of the property would have to be assessed and the other property owners would not
agree to this.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ail voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Nee said he would like the staff and Councilmembers to try to obtain dialogue
fromthe people of the area and bring their comments back when the item is again
considered:
CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR ANTENNA INSTAL,�TION BY NENNEFIti COUNTY chiERGENCY
MEDICAL SERJICES: .
A representative of the Hennepin County Emergency Medical Services addressed the
Council and stated the request to be to instail an antenna on tne City's 1.5 million
gallon reservoir. He mentiuned others were present to answer the Council's questions
and make a presentation. Ne called on Dr. Patrick Lilja, Froject Director, to make
a presentation to the Council.
Dr. Liija addressed the Council and said this would be an advanced system in medical
care to this area. He said it would make it possible for communication between the
hospital anci the ambulance in service to enable the para-medics to conciuct EKG's etc.
He added, this will enabie early and furtP�er care to the patient while beiny transported
to the hospitai. He believed that this service would allow for increased medical
service for the residents of the area. �
Councilman Starwalt asked if the antenna which is on the reservior could be used.
Dr. Lilja said no, this one woulo be installed ad,jacent to the existing antenna.
Councilman Starwalt asked if there wouid be addit�onal equipment installed. Dr.
LiTja said no, if there are any future systems, they would share the antenna with
Hennepin County.
The Public Works Director passed pictures of the proposed antenna to the Council for
their review. He said they had tried to determine the impact of the area and had taken
pictures at different distances from the facility and it seems to aimost disappear
at some distance. He said it blends into the sur•raundings.
Mayor Nee asked if the tests in the arr�bulance could be monitored from the hospital.
Dr. Lilja said yes, and the para-medics could talk to the physician and give better
care at the scene. Ne said they would also be able to adn�inister the proper dnugs
and this would decrease the shock reactions in many cases. He also mentioned in
other areas where this type of system is in operation, the occurrances of death from
cardiac arrest had decreased considerably. He said one half of those suffering
from this type of ailment in Anoka County die before getting to the hospital. He
said with the installt�on of the proposed systen, this percentage can be cut.
� A representative of the Hennepin County Emergency htedical Services said they would
\ like the approval of the installation granted at the �resent meeting because they
wished to apply before the grant money runs out.
A resident of the area said she would have no objection to the antenna if there were
to be no more in the future and if it is to be installed as shown in the picture,
The Designer of the equipment addressed the Council and said this would be just as
� shown in the picture as far as he knew, this was the only equipment available for this
type of communication.
MOTIDN by Councilman Starwalt to approve the request for the installation of the
antenna on the 1.5 million gallon City reservoir by Hennepin County Emergency
Medical Services. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all. voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

The City Manager asked if the intent of the motion would be to authorize the si�►�ing
of the agreement and Councilman Starwalt said yes.
Mayar Nee said the approval of this system may save one of their lives in the future.
CONSIDERATION OF MODIFICATION OF STIPULA7IONS ON AN EXISTING SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR
I IED MOBILE HOME , 7625 NIGNWAY #65 N. E. FORMERLY CASTLE MOBILE HOMES :
Mr. Ernie Pasborg> Certified Mobile Homes, addressed the Council and indicated that
the business did not have any signs except the large sign that says Certified Mobile
Homes. He said they would like to ins,tall two four by eight signs for specials on
the side of the homes. He mentioned the surrounding business, Viking Chevrolet and
Frostop Drive-In bQth have the smaller signs of this type.
Mr. Pasborg said currently the business does not have any way of advertising their
specials. He said the coverage on the side of the mobile home would not be in excess
of 15% of the surface.
The Public Works Director referred the Council's attention to Page 11-J of the Council
agenda booklet and indicated that at the time th�t the approval of the large sign was
given there was a stipulation that this be appro,red without the installation of additional
signs. He said this recomnendation was made by the Board of Appeals at their April 17,
1972 meeting and the Council concurred in the recommendation at their March 20, 1972
meeting. The Public Works Director asked if it would be possible for the business to
make use of the large sign to advertise these specials. The Public Works Director
referred to the 11th stipulation recommended by the Board of Appeals at their meeting
in 1972 and indicated that the units were to be a minimum of 8 feet apart with a maximum
of 30 units at the site. He said the current request would be to place the units closer
together with a total of 50 units in the display area. Mr. Sobiech said they had also
requested that the units in the storage area be only one foot apart. He continued to
explain that the Fire Preuention Department had indicated that this request would be
appropriate since it would aid to decrease the vandalism of the area. He further said
that there would be no problem with the placeinent of 50 units in the display area, this
would be more orderly for storage and display.
The Public Works Director said he would like the Council to note that the storage area
should be cleaned up and this area should be drained better. He said there is water
sitting in the area and the storage area is in disarray. He mentioned if the Council
approved the rzquest for this area, it should also be cleaned up.
The City Manager said the Council would have the alternative of approving the requests
or sending the applicant back to the Planning Commission for their review. Mayor Nee
said it was his feeling that the matter should be back to the Planning Cammission.
MOTIQf� by Councilman Fitzpatrick to approve the modifications in the stipulations for
the disp7ay area to place the unit total to 50 and also'the modification in the storage
to allow the units to be one foot apart. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
The City Manager said the sign consideration shou1d be reviewed by the Board of Appeals
for a variance. He said the staff had indicated their feeling to the applicant ahd
the Board of Appeals had reeommended the original stipulation that no other sign be
installed.
Mayor I�ee questioned the stipulation that the variance had been granted to allow the
sign to be 23Q square feet and the sign is 300 square feet. The Public Works Director
said the 300 foot figure indicates the total amount of sign area including the
�, border. He added, the City does figure from the outside area of the sign.
Mayor Nee said some of the City signs are grandfathered in and have this protection.
The applicant said the sign was in existance when they began business at this location.
The Public Works Director said the sign was a billboard and now it is the business sign.
He said the sign had been converted to a business sign related to the property it is on.

The City Attorney said as another alternative, they should look at the possibility of
using the large sign in different manners.
Mr. Maxwell asked if it would be possib7e to install a sign where the letters could

CONSIDERATION OF A RE UEST BY MENARD'S LUMBER TO INCORPORATE A MESSA6E CENTER INTO
NEIR EXISTING SIGN:
Mr. Lehan J. Ryan, Attorney from St. Paul, representing �tenard's Lumber Company,
addressed the Council and reca7led the hisiory of ihe consideration of the City in tne
installatipn of the Menard's Sign. He indicated the request to be for the incorporation
of the message center at this time in order to advertise such things as a carpet saie.
'He said there is considerable discussion concc �ning the incorporation of the message
center and the Menard's people had obtained many certificates relating to the safety
, factors considered in the denial of the original request. -
' Mr. Ryan said he had �ried to Tocate as many signs such as this in the area and he had
obtained statements from the local law enforcement officials regarding the safety and
traffic conditions relating to the use of the signs. He said he had also contacted the
� Highway Department for statements. He indicated that he had a ietter concerning the
piacement of the sign for North Central Airlines by the airport from the State Traffic
' Engineer. He also indicated that tnere had been a meeting witn the City Public Works
Director and staff and a presentation had been made. He said at the time of the
presentation the Menard's people had asked for a recommendation from the staff concerning
� the installation of the proposed message center. He said this recommendation is on
Page 12 of the agenda. Mr. Ryan referred to the material suomitted to the Council and
said he would briefly summarize the presentation.
,
I� �
�
Mr. Ryan again explained that they had received letters from various officials in which
they had commented concerning the instaliation of such signs within the Twin City area.
He referred the Council's attention to the 7etter received from the Nighway �epartment
and in�icated that the official was some�rrhat reluctant to take a position on the sign
because there had not been any studies made concerning this by the Highway Department.
He explained that he had requested the letter on the official's own judgment of the
circumstances. He said this letter had been submitted to the Fridley City Council.
Mr. Ryan referred to the portion of the presentation regarding the sign in West St. Paul
with such a message center ahd said it is the same sign as the one proposed in the
Fridley carea. He said in every case, the comments were that the sign does not
relate to any traffic safety. He again mentioned ihe North Central Airlin�s sign and
said the Highway Department official said it may attract the traffic's attention, but
does not relate to traffic safety.
Mr. Ryan said the City Code prohibits an iiluminated sign from changing. He said there
is a technical presentation availab]e to explain the concept of the proposed sign which
would indicate that it would be permitted by the City's present ordinance. He said
this is not a flashing sign, it is a cnanging sign.
Mr. Ryan continued his presentation by referring to the message center sign on Robert
� Street in West St. Paul and sai.d the Lieutenant of the Police Department said they had
\'' also been concerned about the installation of the si9n in that area because of the traffic
\ and now he has indicated that there has been no accidents reported because of the sign,
� but he had received good comments concerning its installation. Mr. Ryan also referred
' to the sign on the First National Bank in Shakopee, Minnesota, and said the Chief of
� Police has indicated that no accidents have been caused from this sign. He also
comnented that there is also a sign on West Lake Street which is a very busy street in
ij the City of Minneapolis and the traffic engineer gave a statement that there were no
! traffic accidents related to the s9gn.
.�
Mr. Ryan said there had been many accidents in the Twin City area, but not one could
be attributed to the installation of a message center sign. He said there are many
distractions for traffic and they cannot be eliminated.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 5, 1975 • PAGE 22
Mr. Ryan said he had met the challenge presented by the Fridley City Council and come
back with the information that the sign is not a hazard and requested permission to .
turn on the message center portion of the sign. He adc�d all will agree that the sign
is attractive. Mr. Ryan pointed out that the Manager of Menard's, Mr. Larry Menard,
. was present at the meeting as well as Mr. Ralph Carpenter of American Sign Indicator
Company. .
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if there was some reason that this cqnsideration had not
gone to the Board of Appeals. The Public Works Direcior said this was because the
petitioner wanted to come before the Council.
Councilman Starwalt said he did not at any time feel that the traffic safety was the
sole reason that the message center was not approved by the Couneil. He said the
City's ordinance prohibits this type of use.
Mr. Ryan said Menard's was not trying to circumvent any administrative procedures, but
they had been at the Board of Appeals and ali of the information had been give to the
staff to allow them the time to review it. He said they had gone to the Board of Appeals
at the original request and the staff had not objected to them coming straight to
tMe Council for this consideration. Mr. Ryan �,.id the Council had indicated that they
could come back the next year and he added, this is said with a full degree of confidence
The City Manager referred to the Memo in the agenda from the Public Works Director and
sait! the staff had made-a determination that the request would not be allowed by the
City Ordinances. He said if the Council thinks it should be allowed> this.cannot be
done by variance, they would have to change the ordinance.
Councilman Breider said he felt this was a different situation and he recalled that at
the original consideration, he had complained loudly. He said presently he had no
hangups on the sign. He said this�type of sign may be better than the type where the
letters are changed. He �hought that this may be allowed on a trial basis for the
period of from two to three months. He said the Board of Appeals could be asked to
review the matter and if it is acceptable to the corrmunity, the Council could review
the ordinance.
The City Attorney said he honestly did not think this was what the ordinance was
addressing itself to when it was written. He thought this type of sign was intended
to be permitted or there would not be the exception in the mention of the time and
temperature signs. The City Attorney said the Council should determine whether they
want to permit this type of sign in the City, and if so, amend the ordinance. The
City Attorney said he wou'd go along with the thinking of Councilman Breider that this
should be allowed and reviewed for a short trial period, and if it is feasible to have
them continue use of the message center, the ordinance should be amended.
The City Manager said the staff had recomQnended against allowing the sign to operate.
He said he was only stating the alternatives.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he would go along with the City Manager and thought that
this sign is precluded by the ordinance. He said it would seem to him that the sign was
not distracting his attention, the sign would not be doing any good either. He said
this sign is located at an interstate interchange.
Mr. Ryan said all types of other signs attract attention also and it is questionable if
this is dangerous. Ne said the documentation presented to the Council indicates that
this sign would not be a detriment to the health, welfare and safety of the community.
Councilman Starwalt said he did not think the sign would enhance the safety of the
community. He said he agreed with Councilman Fitzpatrick that this is not the
location for this type of sign. He said he did not care what the State people had
said.
The Public Works Director explained that he had gone out to look at the signs listed
within the presentation by Menard's. He indi.cated that he felt that he was being
distracted by the moving message cneters and especially the sign on Lake Street. He
said he had to slow down and almost stop to wait for the sign to change to read the
message. �Mr. Ryan said slowing down tis not all that bad. Ne mentioned that the West
St.' Paul lieutenant is happy with the sign.
Mr. Ralph Carpenter said some flash on and off, and this one would just move in the
message mode portion. The City Attorney asked which type of operation would be used
if the Council would approve the message center in this sign. Mr. Carpenter said the
sign company reconmends the on and off type.

REGULAR COUNCI� MEETING OF MAY 5, 1475
l45
PAGE 23
Councilman Fitzpatrick said the signs do attract his attention and this does affect
his safe driving. He said his objection would be that this location would be very bad
for a flashing sign. Councilman Breider said he thought this would be moving message
mode. Mayor Nee said he had some real reservations on the proposal.
MOTION by Councilman 5tarwalt to deny the request for the operation of the message mode
as requested by Menard's Lumber. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. .
Mr. Ryan asked if the Coancil intended to deny the use of the tr.ial period. Mayor Nee
indicated that the intersection would be rebuilt and at that time there may be some
changes. He said the intersection is very complicated at thepresent time. Councilman
Starwalt indicated that this change would not help in the consideration of the install-
ation of the sign.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, Mayor Nee voting aye, Council�voman Kukowski voting aye, Councilman
Breider voting nay, Councilman Starwalt voting aye, and Councilman Fitzpatrick voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried four to one.
Mr. Ralph Carpenter asked if it would be possible for Menard's to change their message
once per hoiar rather than the one time a day that is currently being done. Ne said
this would not be flashing.
Counciiman Starwalt said he felt any further consideration should go to the Board of
Appeals. Councilman Fitzpatrick said the people would not drive by the business one
time per hour. -
Mr. Ryan explained that the item that is on sale in the morning may not be on sale in
the afternoon. He said this would be done according to the need.
The City Manager said that at the time of the original request, the Council had indicated
this could only be done one time per day. He suggested ailowing the applicant more
leeway rather than them coming back in a few days. He said this could be done as a part
of the variances originally issued. He suggested that this be taken care of by the
Council rather than starting the process all over again.
Councilman Starwalt said he was not against all signs, but he did not like the flashing
signs. He said he did not think that the time and `�temperature should be put on a
rr�ssage sign at this location. He said he did not think that it would be a safety haiard
if the sign would change every five minutes. He did mention that there are times that
this would be bad for the safety at this location.
, Mayor Nee asked if it woald be feasible to grant the request for a change once an hour,
He said this would not bother him. Mayor Nee referred to the sign on Sneliing and
Selby in St. Pau] and said he had experience with this sign when he is driving in the
area and he personally felt that this is a hazard because one must slow down and almost
' stop in order to read the compiete message. Mr. Ryan,mentioned that this sign was listed
within the presentation and the comnent was that this sign was definitely not a hazard
of any type.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said the City Council is not against signs, in fact they have an
' i ordinance to provide signs. He mentioned that signs are not allowed in other areas.
He mentioned he thought the proposal should go to the Board of Appeals since the
Council's reaction was in support of their recommendation. Mr. Ryan said going all the
way back to the Board of Appeals would not be an answer to the appiicants.
�
I� �
�
MOTION by Councilman Breider to allo�a the once an hour change in the message on the
Menard's Lumber sign. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski.
� Councilman Starwalt advised the applicant that he would not want them to come back with
� additional requests in the future concerning this sign. Mr. Larry Neard addressed the
Council and said they would like to be a part of the corrmunity and he suggested they
i, display community messages on the sign if the Council wished this. Councilman Breider
j said their point in denial wouid be that the sign wouid be flashing and they could not
, buy this concept.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr: Dick Harris, Planning Commission Chairman, addressed the Council and stated that he
was not surprised that the Council had bent the sign ordinance again, becaase it had
been bent so much a]ready.

975:
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the Bi'.�way(Walkway Plan and set the public

MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to pay the Claims. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously
LICEPdSES:
Mr. Wallace Schmedeke, Smitts Motor Company, 5649 University Avenue N. E., addressed
the Council and informed them that he was a used car dealer in the City who is
currently licensed and bonded. He said there is a dealer who is licensecl in Spring
Lake Park and lives in the City of Fridley that is selling cars from his home. He
said the operation is located in the area of lth and 57th Avenues. Mayor Nee asked
if the man is selling more than one car at a time. Mr. Schmedeke said he is selling
two and sometimes more. He continued to comQnent that he must buy a bond to sell cars
in the City and also obtain a license. He questioned why this should be allowed when
he would be able to do the same thing from his home.
The City Attorney said this problem had been discussed. The City Attorney pointed
out that there is a City license required to display and sell used cars at a dealer-
ship. He said he had talked to other members of the staff concerning this and it had
been brought to their attention that the home occupation is allowable in the City.
He said this would be permitted if there was no detrimental effect on the neighborhood.
He said he would be allowed to have ane or two cars in the driveway and this would not
be a violation of the zoning ordinance. He said this ordinance said this type of home
occupation would be allowed as long as there is no external change in the residential
property. The City Attorney said whether ar not the man would need a license in the
City of Fridley, he would doubt if this would be true. He said he is not realiy
operating a used car lot at this location and he assumed that the man does have a state
license.
� Mr. Wallace Schmedeke expressed the view that he could drop his City license and sell
� cars from his home. He said this would be true as long as the person had a state
license. The resident said he could drop his City license and sell cars from his home
and save $2,500 in taxes.
Ma;or Nee indicated the administration would prepare a report on this activity and
send him a copy.
Councilwoman Kukowski said she would like to receive such a report and the recomnendation
from the administration.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the following licenses as they were listed in
the Agenda. The motion was seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vate, all
voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

GENERAL DISCUSSION ,
Mayor Nee explained that this is not a regular Council meeting, but that the Council is
sitting as part of the annual Board of Equalization meeting. He introduced the Council
members, the Assistant City Manager, and the City Assessor, and then cal7ed on Mr. Herrmann
to introduce the members of his staff and the representative from the County. Mr. Herrmann
explained that each visitor to the meeting was asked to register prior to the meeting, and
then will be called in turn.
Mayor Nee explained that the proceedings tonight were limited to the question of whether
or not the estimated market value assessment made by the Assessing Department as of
January, 1975, is honestly and truly reflective of the true market value. There is
nothing which can be done about the taxes themselves which are levied against these
estimated market values. _ Their taxes are determined by the individual agencies involved
such'as School Districts, the City, ti�e County, the Metropolitan Transft Commission, etc.
Mayor Nee mentioned that the City Council receives approximate7y $.15 of each $1.00 of
taxes. He said the obligation tonight is to insure that the assessed value placed on
each property is fair.
Mr. Herrmann explained briefly how t#�e Assessing Department arrives at an estimated fair
market value. There are basic standard rates for the different types of homes plus
variations depending on location, size of house, type and size of garage, etc. Each
building is treated as new construction in using these rates, and then depreciation is
allowed based on the actual age of the buildings. Economic values determine if valuation
would raise or lower on an older home, based on what it would cost to build this same home
at the present time. A selling price will not necessarily reflect what is considered a
true market value. The City's valuations at this time are not up to one hundred per cent
of what the selling price might be, but are quite close. Economic values have to be
considered over a number of homes in an area and how they are selling, and cannot be
based on just one sale which might not reflect a true value because of many determining
factors such as upkeep of the property and appearance.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Johnson, the representative from the County, to state just what factors
the Council might consider at this meeting. Mr. Johnson replied that the Council is
empowered to make adjustments as they see fit, provided that the aggregate adjustments
are na more than one per cent of the total valuation rur� for the City. If there is a
continuation of this meeting, it must be held within twenty days of the date of this
meeting. If any changes in valuations are made by this Board, Mr. Johnson has an abstract
form which must be filled in and returned to the County. Mr. Johnson also mentioned that
some valuation cards had been returned to the County as they were declared undeliverable
by the Post Office, and he did have these cards with him in case any citizen present at
the meeting had not received his card.
Major Nee asked Mr. Johnson to explain to the audience what their rights of appeal are
if the Board of Equalization does not make any adjustment in their valuations and the
property owners are still not satisfied.
Mr. Johnson explained that whether a person is present at this meeting or not, they are
aliowed to file a request for a review of their property valuation to be taken up at
the County Board meeting. The date of the County Board of Review meeting is shown on the
card sent to each property owner from the County showing the estimated market values.
By calling Anoka County, you may receive a request form to fill in and return to the County,
asking for a review of your valuation. Basic information is to be filled in on this form
such as name, address, telePhone number, lega] description, and a brief statement of what
reasons you have for questioning the valuation. An assessor from the County will come
out and look at your property to determine if he feels there are any extenuating problems
which might affect the value placed on the property. You have to appear at the meeting
of the County Board of Review to make your statement, and the County Board will make their
judgment at that time. If a reduction'is made, this is ca]led an abatement process.

PA6E 2
Mr. Herrmann explained that a physical appraisal of each property should be made each two
years. As this is impossible, it has been decided by legal interpretation that when
only a portion of a City is able to be physically appraised in any one year, that the
balance of the property not physically appraised has to be raised on an overall percentage
to stay in line with the pr^perties physically appraised. The percentage of raise this
year on residential homes was approximately fifteen per cent. A11 new construction has to
be physically appraised. Commercial property was physically appraised two years ago,
so was only raised by a percentage this year.
Ma��^r Nee explained briefly the card each property owner received from the County showing
wh ': estimated market value their 1975 taxes were based on, and the amount of the new
estimated market value which was placed on their property as of January, 1375, affecting
their taxes payable.in 1576. According to present law, the extimated market valuation on
which the actual tax is based may be raised only five per cent each year, though the
estimated market value may actually have increased more than that. Gnly a five per cent
increase in value will be reflected on the taxes payable in 1976 unless this law is
repealed. The taxes would then be based on what the true estimated market value is
considered to be. Mr. Herrmann explained that this does not necessarily mean taxes
themselves will rise, because if the values of all the properties are increased, the
mill rates themselves will lower.
N0. 1--MR. RICHARD HARRIS
Mr. Harris requested that� he be placed last on the Agenda, as he had a number of things
to dSscuss. •
N0. 2--MR. DUANE NAROG, 1465 NORTH DANUBE (LOT 5, BLOCK 3, INNSBRUCK NORTH ADDITION,
PLAT 56353, PARCEL 240)
Mr. Narog explained that his home was built last year. Upon completion he discovered
the basement was lower than the sewer drain to the street, sa as a result he had to
install a sump pump to force water from his basement level and also the drainage from
his laundry facilities. He stated that the lot is always soggy and has a peat bog
base, and that the ground water level is just below his basement floor.
Mr. Narog mentioned an agreement which was made between the developers of the R-1
areas in the Innsbruck North development and the City, in which certain lots were
felt to be not buildable unless peat was removed and good fill brought in. For this
reason ihe assessments for the water and sewer and concrete streets were spread over only
the lots considered buildable without additional ground work, because it was felt there
would be additional expenses for anyone building an one of these poorer lots.
Mr. Narog was not aware of the condition of the ground soil of his lot at the time of ,
purchase, but now feels this should have been one of the lots which should have had
assessments excluded. He stated that he is unable to ever have the potential of finishing
off his basement or installing a basement bathroom because of his water problem, and
feels this definitely detracts greatly from the value of his home.
Mayor Nee questioned if the owner or builder had come in and received the correct
elevations from our City Engineering Department, which they are supposed to do. Mr.
Narog stated he had not done this, but assumed that the builder had obtained this•information.
The lot value with improvements is $11,760.00. Mr. Narog paid $9,000.00 for the lot plus
assessments which ran about $5>000.00. Mr. Herrmann did mention that we have some very
expensive houses in the City which do use sump pumps. Mr. Narog said that he had hired a
professional landscaper who stated that with the rolling terrain of this lot, there was no
way to obtain the proper drop to the street, and that the elevations just met the minimum
standards of the building code. When a physical appraisal was made in December, 1974,
after the home was completed, by our Assessing Department, there was no apparent water
problem.
It was the Council's decision to continue this item until the Board of �qualization
reconvened, to allow time for the Assessing Department to make a new physical appraisal
of this property and then report back to the Board. Mayor Nee stated that later in the
meeting a date sometime within the next twenty days would be set to reconvene this
meeting, and that Mr. Narog would be informed of the date and time of this meeting.

N0. 3--MR. EUGENE BONNET, 6061 UNIVERSITY AVENUE NORTHEAST (CLUB 47, L01'S 23 AND 24,
BLOCK 4, HYDE PARK ADDITION, PLAT 56308, PARCELS 900 AND 940)
Mr. Bonnet said that his new valuation is $48,200.00 which he feels is too high. He
said he has two friends in the real estate business who make appraisals. On looking over
his property, one felt it would only sell for $40,000.00 and the other felt it would sell
dt a maximum of $45,000.00. Mr. Herrmann stated that we have a value of $43,500.00 on
the building and two lots, and $4,700.00 on the one-half lot adjacent.
' , Councilman Starwalt questioned if Mr. Bonnet's business is for sale. He replied that it is
not at the present time, but that he is considering such a circumstance. Mr. Herrmann
said the building has 2,482 square feet of area and 100 feet of frontage on University
' Avenue. The estimated market value on the building is $24,500.00 and the rest of the value
� is on the land. He stated that several years ago this land was selling for over $2.00
� per square foot. Commercial businesses cannot all be increased equally because of many
� factors such as increases in business, the fact that there are not the amount of like
� sales to compare, and that tenant changes have to be taken into consideration also. This
. property was not.increased by fifteen per cent.
Mr. Bonnet asked if the Assessor would honor an app.•lisal value made by an independent
appraiser, if Mr. Bonnet hired one. Mr. Herrmann replied that they would certainly
give consideration to an independent appraisal, provided it was made by an appraiser
the City feels is competent, but he did not say the City would bind themselves to such
an appr.aisal valuation. - .
It was the Council's decision that at the present time this property is worth the estimated
market value placed on it, and there should be no change.
N0. 4--MR. RAYMOND WILLIAMS, 6240 ALDE�i WAY (LOT 2, BLOCK 2, AL ROSE RDDITION, PLAT 54074,
PARCEL 450)
Mr. Williams stated that he didn't believe the estimated market valuations of the homes
on his block were correct. He said there are three rambler-type homes on his block and
the baTance of the homes are split-entry homes which he feels have a much greater market-
ability, and yet he states that his valuation of $38,000.00 is second highest in the
entire block, even though his basement is not finished. The homes on this block were
built two years ago, and he said the split-entry homes are still vaiued the same as when
they were built. He said some of these split-entry homes are completely finished including
basements, and yet their values are less than his. His objection was not real]y that
his home was valued too high, but rather that it was valued too high compared to the
other homes in his block--in reality saying that the split-entry homes were appraised at
too low a figure.
Mr. Herrmann brought up the fact that our Assessing Department would be inclined to
agree with Mr. Williams that the split-entry homes are slightly undervalued, not only in
his block but all over the City and possibly the County. After all appraisals were completed
this year, based on marketability at the present time it appeared that the value on split-
entry homes was a little low. This market of course, might change, but if it does not,
in two years when a change ean be made, split-entry valuations wil] be increased
accordingly, whereas rambler-type homes would not be raised as much, Of course market-
ability of different types of homes could change again. Nir. Williams said he didn't feel
it was fair for him to be penalized for four years without a change. Mr. Herrmann said he
agreed that it didn't seem fair, but we do encounter such problems through the City no
matter how hard they try. Councilman Starwalt stated that if the market continues as
it has with split-entrys being so popular, then in two years Mr. Williams will be
receiving the advantage of a lower tax and the split-entrys will be paying the higher tax.
� Mr. Williams stated that he definitely intends to appeal his valuation to the County
Board of Review if he could receive no satisfaction at this meeting. It was the opinion
of the members of the Council that they could not in all fairness increase all split-
• entrys in this particular block without increasing the valuation of all split entrys in
the City and County, and that it would be just as unfair to lower Mr. Williams' valuation
when they felt that his home was worth the estimated market value placed upon it.
The basic schedule for split-entrys and for rambler-type homes as well as all other basic
types of homes.comes from the County, Mr. Williams showed Mayor Nee a list he had prepared
showing the estimated market value placed on each Froperty in his block, which all of the
Councilmen then examined.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MEETIN6 OF MAY 8, 1975 PAGE 4
It was pointed out that any property owner whose valuation was raised as a result of this
meeting must be notified. There have been no re-sales in this block to be used in
comparison. The question was brought up as to whether the local Board could raise the
value of every split-entry through the City by a percentage. Mr. Johnson stated that
the local Board has the authority to raise any individual property owner's valuation as
long as they stay within the one per cent total limitation on changes, but cannot raise
valuations by class. Mr. Williams said that at the time he purchased his home, he could
have had either a split-entry or a rambler-type home for the same price, although someone
else might not have had this same choice. He said he bought the rambler-type home because
he felt it would have a lower tax as spTit-entrys were more popular on the market.
Mr. Williams has more square footage on the ground floor with a rambler for taxable
purposes than the split-entry homes do. He stated that he has made no improvements to
his home since it was built.
It was the general opinion of both the Council members and the Assessing Department that
the estimated market value placed on Mr. Williams' property was a fair value, and that his
home could defi.nitely be sold for more than this value with no problems. Mr. Williams
said the split-entry valuations are running approx�mately $3,000.00 less than his, and
yet�they are using the whole home for living space, whereas he is not utilizing his
basement. Mr. Herrmann pointed out that he does have this basement potential, and that
if his basement were finished, the estimated market value would be higher. The goal of
the Assessing Department is to have the estimated market value within ninety-five per cent
of actual selling price. •
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Williams if the split-entrys were brought to within ninety-five per
cent of their actual market value, if he would object to his home also being brought to
within ninety-five per cent of actual market value. Mr. Williams said it would depend
on the values. Mayor Nee said this was done with his own home, and that he dtid not
appreciate the increase but did feel it was fair. Mr. Herrmann stated that ii is physically
impossible at this time to go back and raise the value of every split entry in the City,
let alone the County.
Councilman Starwalt pointed out that if this trend of marketability continues, the taxes
will even themselves out and the split-entrys will be raised, and Mr. Williams with
a rambler-type home will then appreciate a lower tax in comparison. He sympathizes
with the situation, but feels there is nothing the Board of Equalization can do.
Councilman Fitzpatrick pointed out that in effect, if they lowered Mr. Williams' value,
they should really lower the value of every rambler-type home in the City and County if
they were to be fair and consistent.
Mr. Herrmann mentioned that though finished basements do add to a home as a selling point,
a property owner does not necessarily receive a price increase comparable to what they
have invested in finishing a basement. Just a few years ago, real estate appraisers
felt that adding any additional value for a finished basement was an unfair thing for
the Assessing Department to do, as they could not sell the homes for any appreciable
price difference, even if the basements were finished. •
Councilman Breider brought up the question of just how much Mr. Herrmann felt the split-
entrys were below estimated market value. Mr. Herrmann said that they were probably
around ninety-two per cent of actual market value, and although there might be an exception,
he did not feel that there was a$3,000.00 difference between rambler-type homes and
split-entry homes, and that the difference was considerably less than that amount. '
Mayor Nee said that if Mr. Williams could show that his property was not salable at
. $38,000.00, that then a lowering of the estimated market value could be considered, but
� just by comparing and saying that he feit his house was worth less than neighboring
houses was not proof that his house was not worth the $38,000.00 valuation. Mr. Williams
said an appraiser told him $40,000.00 would be top selling price for his home, as
opposed to $46,900.00 for a neighboring split-entry type of home in Navember or December
' of 1974. Mr. Herrmann said this was not a true or correct comparison in his opinion.
�
Councilman Fitzpatrick said that anything that could be pursued through the County or
anything that could be uniformly applied ta the split-entry homes throughout the city
would be the only action that could be taken.

MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to sustain the judgment of the Assessing Department and
reiain the estimated market value of $38,OOO.QO. Seconded by Coancilman 8reider. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, h1ayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
N0. 5--MR. GARY ANDERSON, 413 RICE CREEK BOULEVARD (LOT 1, BLOCK 2, HOLIDAY HILLS 2ND .
ADDITION, PLAT 56247, PARGEL l00)
Mr. Anderson stated that he had a question rather than an actual complaint about his
estimated market valuation. He sta±ed that his hause is located next to a park. At
the time he purchased his house he felt this was an advantage. He has now changed his
mind about the lot being such a desirable location due to the fact that the park has been
developed so there is now much more traffic, parking in front of his property, and more
noise and bright lights. His property is also located across the street from church
property, although this does not cause him any prob]ems at the present time. Mr. Anderson
asked if all the houses in his area are considered of approximately the same value, or if
consideration is made of such factors.
Mr. Herrmann explained that as the properties are located further down the street away
from the park and nearer the creek, the valuations are higher because the properties are
considered more choice. He said that some people do prefer a location near a park, whereas
others do not. . -
Mr. Anderson was satisfied by the answer to his question.
N0. b--MR. JEROME W. BUHN, 7573 LYRIC LANE (LOT 6, BLOCK 3, MELODY MANOR 4TH ADDIT.ION,
PLAT 56811, PARCEL 1080)
Mr. Buhn stated that he does not have any quarrel with his estimated market value, but
� does question why he received such a large increase in his taxes this year--thirty-two
per cent. With the slow-down in economy and holding the lines on wages as they are,
this does not seem reasonable to him.

Cbuncilman Breider, who lives in this same area, explained some of the reasons why this
particular area received the largest increase of any area in Frid�ey this year.
The property is located in School District No. 16. Due to the fiscal Disparity Law now
in effect, we have to share with all communities within a seven-county area. Property
owners located in this particular area had to pay a larger share because of the numerous
industries in this area, but the majority of what was paid went to Minnzapolis and St. Paul
rather than back to our area which resulted in approximately a�-mill increase. 7his
accounts for approximately $81.00 of the increase on Mr. Buhn's taxes. Then Vocational
School No. 916 located in White Bear added an additional 2.39-mill increase to the school
district tax for this area. This added another $20.00 to Mr. Buhn's tax increase.
Some coummunites had a pubiic vote as to whether they Nrould be involved u�rith Vocational
School No. 916, but Councilman Breider said that to the best of his knowledge he and
his neighbors had never been asked their opinion as to School District No. 16 helping
to support this school.
Mr. Buhn was satisfied with the explanation.
N0. 7--MR. WARREN E. WOODS, 6863 SEVENTH STREET NORTHEAST (LOT 6, °LOCK 5, RICE CREEK
TERRACE PLAT 7 ADDITION, PLAT 57586, PARCEL 2660)
Mr. Woods said that according to his figuring his taxes went up close to twenty per
cent, rather than the fifteen percent which was the overall average increase, and questioned
why. He said his only improvement was a$330.00 blacktop driveway, and he also has a
sump pump in his basement. He stated that this year if he hadn't had the sump pump,
he would have had water on his fioor. With the sump pump i� use, he only had moisture. He
said the valuation card he had received for January 2, 1973, was $26,700.00 and for
Janaury 2, 1975, was $31,200.00. Mr. Woods said maybe his figuring was wrong, but the
increase was at least eighteen per cent. Mr. Herrmann said he had received an increase
of sixteen and seven-tenths per cent.

BOARD aF EQUALIZATION MEETING OE MAY 8, 1975 PA6E 6
Mr. Woods then said his figuring was wrong, but that he would then question his �
estimated market value, because he just couldn't understand how it could have risen that
much. He stated his father-in-law lived just south of Mississippi Street and that his
taxes had gone down. Mr. Herrmann said this could not be true, and asked that Mr. Woods
check with the Assessor's Department and the staff would check the records, because he
was sure there had been no reductions as the mill rates went up this year for every district
of the City. Mr. Herrmann stated that the values have risen becau5e the prices of houses
have just gone up this much. The question was brought up that maybe the faiher-in-law
had finished paying a long-standing assessment which, though reducing the total tax
statement, does not affect the real estate_tax itself. Mr. Herrmann pointed out that
the taxable market values for taxes payable in 1974 and for taxes payable in 1975 were
identical, but the increase in mill rates accounted for the increase in the taxes and
not a change in valuation.
Mr. Woods said he would check with the Assessing Department as to the correct amount of
his father-in-law's real estate tax.
He.felt his question had been answered satisfact�riiy.
N0. 8--MR. RANDY LEE HOFFA, 8000 EAST RIVER ROAD (LOTS 12 AND 25, BLOCK 8, SPRIN6 BROOK
PARK ADDITION, PLAT 59140, PARCEL 1540
Mr. Hoffa said that he purchased his home last August for $26,000.00. He said it -was
appraised at $26,000.00 by an independent appraiser, and at $26,500.00 by an FHA
appraiser. His estimated market value is $30,200.00,an increase of $4,000.00, which he
feels is too high, especially when he feels the $26,000.00 purchase price for the home
last fall was a fair price and value then.
Mr. Herrmann questioned if.there were special assessments on the property, and Mr. Hoffa
said that all special assessments were paid off by the seller when he purchased the home.
Mr. Herrmann said this is in an area where the values were raised on a straight fifteen
per cent this year. This area was physically re-evaluated in 1973, and if more than
five per cent value was added because of this re-evaluation, only five per cent was
added on the tax statement in one year per the law, and the additional increase would
be added on the fol7owing year.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Herrmann what his opinion was, and Mr. Herrmann said he would like
to take another look at this home to determine if the evaluation was fair, and if there
were any extenuating circumstances, and would bring back the information at the
continuation of this meeting.
Mr. Hoffa wi11 be notified of the date and time of the meeting.
N0. 9--MR. L.EO LEMPKE (RESIDES AT 2229 NORTHEAST 6TH STREET) -- OI�JNS VACAN7 LOT WITN 38.5
FEET FRONTAGE ON 47TH AVENUE AND 3RD STREET (LOT 30, BLOCK 9, PLYMOUTH ADDITION,
PLAT 57352, PARCEL 5385)
Mr. Lempke stated that his estimated market value this year was increased from $500.00
to $600.00> which he feels is too high for this vacant lot. Mr. Lempke explained•that
when University Avenue was widened and made into a freeway, 47th Avenue was closed off
as a dead-end street. The City offered this small lot through a Mr, aim Lupient for sale
about thirteen years ago, and Mr. Lempke bought it with the hope of someday developing it
as a building site. He has paid taxes on it all these years. Mr. Lempke said he applied
for a building permit sometime during the term of Jack Kirkham as Mayor, and it was
� approved by the Planning Commission and then went to Council. Inadvertently he was not
\ present at the meeting when the Council took action and denied his request for a buiTding
permit. Since then he has attempted nothing further. He said consideration of vacation
of 47th Avenue was discussed along with the application for a building permit. If this
street were able to be vacated, depending on what utility lines are in Ghe street, it
� would give Mr. Lempke a bui1dable lot.
Mr. Herrmann stated that he had talked with someone else recently about a lot with the
same type of situation, and this person too is going to see if a street vacation is
possible. '

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MEETING OF MAY 8, 1975

PAGE 7
Councilman Fitzpatrick suggested ihat Mr. Lempke again petition for a street vacation
and then ask for a building permit. Formerly there was talk of putting a walkway over
University Avenue on 47th, so that was one reason why this deadend street was not vacated
at that time. This possibility no longer exists. Also, some of the regulations regarding
the placing of buildings on narrow lots might have been changed since the original request
was made. �
Mr. Lempke obtained Councilman Fitzpatrick's telephone number and will contact him.
Councilman Fitzpatrick told him that the application for vacation would have to be made
at the City offices. The City Assessor said he does not know if this lot is buildable
or not. If so, the valuation would be much higher than it presently is.
It was the feeTing of the members of the Counci7 that no change should be made at this
time in the estimated market value of the vacant lot.
N0. 1--MR. RICHARD HARRIS
At this time Mayor Nee called on Mr. Richard Harris, registered as No. 1, but who had.
asked to appear following any other visitors to the meeting in fairness to them as he
had�a number of things he wanted to discuss.
RESIDENCE--6200 RIVERVIEW TERRACE (LOT2, BLOCK 3, JULI-ANN ADDITION, PLAT 56450,
PARCEL 240)
Mr. Harris first publicly thanked Mr. Herrmann and his staff for the long hours they
have spent going over the estimated market valuations on various properties owned by
Mr. Harris and jointly by Mr. Narris and his father, and explaining the�ir reasoning
for the valuations. He said they were very patient and helpful, and he hoped that an
equitable solution for all could be r.eached.
' Mr. Harris' first concern was that he felt that the estimated market value of $59,190.00
� - on his home is too high. He said he had gone over the valuation with P4r. Mulcahy who
physically appraised the house. He explained he knows how much he put into the house to
build it, and from that viewpoint he feels it should not carry this much value. One
� � of his major points is that the design of the house is very innovative, and it was his
� feeling that he has never gotten a true appraisal of value because there is nothing of
� � a similar type to compare with his home. His home is iocated on a large river lot. He
also questioned the value put on the lot, and it was pointed out that fairiy comparable
river lots have been selling for $18,000.00 and $20,D00.00 including assessments.

It was the decision of the Council that his nome could be sold for $60,000.00 with no
difficulty, taking into account both the building and the location, so they felt no
change should be made in the Valuation.
7701 MAIN STREET NORTHEAST AND VACANT LOT ADJACENT (LOT 5, BLOCK 3, EAST RRNCH ESTATES
2ND ADDITION WITH BUILDING, AND LOT 6, BLOCK 3, EAST RANCH ESTATES 2ND ADDITION, WHICH
IS VACANT• PLAT 55754, PARCELS 140 AND 150)
Lot 5 is commercial property which has a warehouse on which Mr. Narris feels the estimated
market valuation is just a little 6it high, and an office area in addition to the ]and
which he feels is very high. He said he purchased the lots for $12,600.00 together. We
have a va1ue of $24,800.00 on Lot 5 with the building and a value of $15,900.00 on the
vacant lot. He feels this is not a realistic value.
Mr. Narris says he actually had a total construction cost of $66,000.00 for this building,
and feels our valuation of $115,600.00 is too high. He stated that he had gone over the
valuation with Mr. Madsen, and according to the standards used by the Assessing Department
to place a value on comnercial property, Mr. Madsen's valuation was very fair and done
correctly. Mr. Harris contends that it is the standards used in assessing commercial
property with which he disagrees; and not the actual assessing job done by the City.
He suggested for instance that values be computed on cubic footage rather than on square
footage. Mr. Madsen expiained that values used to be computed that way, but now virtually
all values are based on square footage with the exception of rental storage warehouse
units which are rented and in which the total space is used from floor to ceiling.

Mr. Harris said that it is difficult when you have good tenants who are having a difficult
time paying the rent now with the economic situation the way it is, to pass on large
increases in rent to compensate with the taxes being increased so much. He feels this is
unfair to both owner and renter. In working with commercial property, our Assessing
Department works with the basic rate book by Marshall and Swift which is widely used all
over the County. This book has basic ratings for commercial buildings and takes in
different variations such as type of construction, type of lighting, etc.
7710 AND 7720 MAIN STREET NORTHEAST {LOTS 1-10, BLOCK 8, ONAWAY ADDITION,
PLAT 57189, PARCEL 1830)
Mr. Harris also questioned the estimated market valuation placed on his properties
at 7710 and 7720 Main Street Northeast, Mr. Herrmann stated that in going over these
valuations with Mr. Harris, an error had been discovered on Parcel 1830 in the measure-
ment of the building at 7710 Main Street Northeast, and this error will be corrected by
the Assessor's office automatically and no action need be taken by the Board of
Equalization to correct this error.
Mr. Harris again pointed out that it is the standards used in placing a valuation on the
buildings that.he really objects to, and not the ;airness of the valuations themselves.
The Assessor said these lots were originally tax forfeit lots with a low value placed on
them just so they would ssll and get back on the tax ro•lls. The selling price was not a
true•indication of their real value. The Assessor also mentioned that any cost for
correction of soil conditions is applied to the land values rather than the building
values. Mr. Harris agreed with this.
13-15-17 -- 77TH WAY NORTHEAST (LOTS 11 AND 26-37, BLOCK 8, ONAWAY ADDITION,
PLAT 57189, PARCEL 2020) •
Next Mr. Harris discussed his buildings located at 13-15-17 -- 77th Way Northeast.
He stated that these buildings were done in stage construction and that again, in using
some innovative building designs, he feels it is difficult to have these properties
appraised at their true value. Mr. Madsen pointed out that while saving some building
costs by using new types of materials, you also do pay a premium for the newly developed
types of materials. Mr. Harris mentioned that he actually paid less on the most recently
built buiiding for some of the lumber and also for same of the masonry work, which greatly
suprised him in these days of rising costs. Also, some of the labor was cheaper than in
previous years.
Mr. Herrmann stated that over all three buildings combined, there was a ten and one-
half per cent increase in valuation.
Mayor Nee asked if an independent appraiser was hired, with Mr. Harris paying one-
half the cost and the City the other ha}f, would he be willing to abide with the
decision of the appraiser as to a fair market value. Mr. Harris said he would be will�ng
but he would have to discuss it with his father as they are partners. Mr. Herrmann was
then asked what he thought an independent appraiser might charge, and Mr. Herrmann
thought the cost would be in the neighborhood Qf $1,000.00. Councilman Breider then
questioned whether the City might not be setting a precendent in doing this, as then we
would be almost obliged to do this for any other commereial property owner who might
request a new valuation. General discussion was held as to where this money could be
obtained, etc.
The question was directed to Mr. Nerrmann as to just what was done last year when
Viking Chevrolet questioned their valuation. Mr. Herrmann explained that he and
�, his staff visited a number of car dealerships in various communities and compared
their valuations, which resulted in the Board of Equalization reducing the market
valuation about $.06 per square foot on the valuation.
It was suggested that perhaps a representative from the County would meet with
Mr. Herrmann, his staff, Mr. Harris, and his father, and would physically evaluate the
buildings again and go over the procedures used, if Mr. Harris was willing. He agreed
with this suggestion, and sa.id if he could in his own mind feel justified that these
buildings are worth this much, he could bring himself to accept these valuations.

BOARD OF EQUALIZA7ION MEETING OF MAY 8, 1975 PAGE 9
VACANT LQTS (IQTS 1-7, BLQCK 7, ONAWAY ADDITION, PLAT 57189, PARCELS 1420, 1430, 1440,
1450, 1460, 1470, AND 1480}
Mr. Harris next discussed a number of vacant lots which he owns and the estimated market
valuation placed on them. The valuation of $3,000.00 on Lot 1 was not too much out of
line he felt, as Lot 1 is larger than the other lo�s. Then there is a valuation of
$2,500.00 on Lots 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7, and a valuation of $1,700.00 on Lot 4 as there
is an open ditch running through this lot. Mr. Harris said that there is a topography
map of the original Onaway Plat which shows that much of this soil is peat. He said
specificially that part of Lot 2 is good and part poor, that Lots, 3, 4, 5, and part
of Lot 6 are also poor, but that Lot 7 has.a good soil base. Mr. Herrmann explained that
it is difficult to a.scertain this by just looking at surface soil, and that the City
has neither the time, money, nor the facilities to make soil testings when appraising
vacant land.
VACANT LOTS (LOTS 21, 22, AND 23, BLOCK 1, ONAWAY ADDITION, PLAT 57189, PARCELS 210,
220, AND 230)
Mr..Narris also mentioned that he felt the valuations on Lots 21, 22, and 23, Block l,
Onaway Addition, are high because of the poor soi; conditions. Mr. Harris said there is
a lot of peat soil on Lot 23. .
It was agreed that the Assessor's Department will make a physical evaluation of these
vacarit lots to see if they feel justified in the valuations they have placed on these lots.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to reconvene this Board of Equalization meeting next
Thursday evening, May 15, 1975, at 7:30 P.M. The motion was seconded by Councilman
Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried

7he City Attorney said he had checked with the County Assessors office and the plat had
� not been filed at the present time. He said he thought that it would be alright to hold

Mr. Dropps explained that the property was going through a torrancing procedure and
it cannot be cleared up in any other way. He mentioned that they had received a final
report from the examiner of titles and now it would only be a matter of clearing the
titie. Ne said he thought that this procedure would be completed within a week or two.
The City Attorney said the bid would not be awarded for about six weeks and if the title
is not registered by. that time, the bid award would be delayed.
Mayor Nee asked if a notice of hearing had been sent to the Theilmans? The Finance
Director explained that everyone that appeared on the list in the public hearing book
had received notice.
Councilman Starwalt indicated that there had been some problems with this development,
but_now everyone seemed satisfied with what is be'ig done. He Mentioned that Briardale
Road would be cut through to Rice Creek Drive as snown which will allow access to the
park. He said Woodside Court would be put through when and if there is development.
He mentioned the property owner in this area is aware that he may be paying more for the
improvement at that time,-but he is satisfied with this arrangement. -. ,
Mr. Charles Rice, 1541 Ferndale, addressed the Council and recalled that the Council had
indicated that he would not be assessed for this improvement unless he split his lot.
Mayor Nee questioned if this information was correct. Mr. Rice,repeated his state-
ment and recalled that this had been discussed by the Council at the last meeting that
this matter had been discussed. '
Mr. Mervin Herrmann, Assessor, said this property was included within those to be assessed
He said the Council could decide either way on this property.
The City Manager said there was some understanding that he would not use the road at
all. He said there should be some comnitment that if the lot is split in the future,
that Mr. Rice wouid be assessed at that time. He said this is nat the normal procedure.
Mayor Nee asked if the Council had agreed to this and Mr. Rice said yes.
The City Manager said at the time of the final assessment hearing, a document should be
presented stating that the improvement would not be used unless the property is split. He
said if the property is split, the property owner would have to pay the assessments.
Counci]man Starwalt said there had been much hostile discussion on the improvement of this
area and it was not satisfactory with many people. He said the property owners should
work very closely with the City to they have a�rirm understanding of the proposal.
Councilman Starwalt said there will be a final assessment hearing and at this time,
the Council will make a determination on whether or not the assessments would be levied.
He said something that would be satisfactory with both parties could be worked out .
before that time.

Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimous�y and the Public Hearing closed at 8:00 P.M.
PUBLIC HEARIN6 ON ESTABLISHING CERTAIN COMMISSIONS WITHIN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY:
Mayor Nee briefly explained the changes proposed by the revamping of the commissions
to the increase in emphasis on Humar Resources and the Environment and how they
, . constitute questions in the community development.
The City Manager said there are two proposals within the Council agenda, the original
, pr.oposal �ahich had been discussed at the conference meeting of the Council. He said
the Council had indicated that the proposal should be reviewed by all of the comnittees
and commissions to gain more input. He pointed out on page 3-N of the agenda, there is
• a recommended ordinance in which all of the recommendations of the Planning Corrmission
and other corrnnittees had been included. •He pointed out ane modification that had not
� been included in the proposal is one suggested by the Environmental Quality Commission

that the member,s of the various committees be appointed according to Wards. He said this
had been disucssed and it was thought that this criteria may be somewhat restrictive. He
further explained that they had included the language that Ward appointments be encouraged.
The City Manager also pointed out that the proposal had been submitted to the various
civic and service organizations in the City and many had not reacted in any way. He
' mentioned that the proposal had been transmitted to the Fridley DFL, GOP, League of Woman
;� Voters, and Chamber of Commerce. He said there had also been proposals given to the State,
', School and County officials without any reaction from them. '
The City Manager said the proposal covers two distinct areas, one the comprehensive planning
and setting of goals for the City and, secondly, the implementation of the plans. He said
' thiswould enable the comprehensive planning to be prepared and reviewc� by the staff, the
member commissions> Planning Corrrnission,.and finally be considered and adopted by the
City Council. He said after the establishment of the goals, the implementation of the
comprehensive plan, each major proposal would be reviewed by the staff, member commissions
before the Council will take action on the matter. He said thi svould add from one to
two weeks to any consideration coming before the Council. The City Manager sai� under the
current proposal, there is en unlimited number of persons w.ho would be able to serve
the member corrnnissions through project comnittees and participate. This would place all
of the member commissions under the Planning Corrmission who would review all matters before
they come to the City Council.
�
.\
Mayor Nee comnented that before, the member commissions had a direct line of communication
or access to the City Council. He said there are pros and cons to the proposal. He
mentioned that this amount of items may overwhelm the Planning Commission if the items
are not processed expediently and quickly. He questioned if thi �rould or would not
improve the process.
The City Manager pointed out that the Planning Commission Hiould be on the planning
side of the comprehensive plan. He said the day to day review should be done b,y the
member commissions. He said the P�anning�Commission would only be committed if they
wanted to and the Council, would only review and approve the requests. The City D1anager
said hopefully, the considerations will be thoroughly discussed before they come to the
Council and the time would be reduced by this. He said it would put additional time in the
overall process for the applicants, but it may reduce the time for Council consideration.
The City Manager explained through the consideration by various concerned member commissions,
the Planning Corrmission would be able to send a recommendation to the Council that would
incorporate all responses and concerns.
The City Manager said the Council will still get the minutes of the member commissions
meetings and Planning Comnission and the Council would make the final decisions.
Mr. Dennis Schneider, 6190 STinson Blvd., addressed the Council and said althought he
is the Chairman of the Fridley DFL, he was not speaking for them. He informed the Council
that the Fridley OFL had takQn the position on the matter to not take a position. Mr.
Schneider said his personal concern was that there is no check forthe Planning Commission.
He explained that the recommendation of the Planning Corronission does carry some weight
and he questioned if there was some way that a private citizen could express himself to the
Council and carry as much weight as the Planning Commission. He said he would like to see
the establishment of some citizen cor.anittee that could report to the Council so there
would be some checks and balances. He mentioned if a private citizen is unhappy, he
could not carry the weight of the recommendation of the Planning Commission. He said it
may be the case that the citizen feels uncomfortable in addressing the Cauncil.
Mayor Nee said he could not see how this type of aspect could be added to the ordinance.
Mrs. Helen Treuenfels, 5248 Horizon Drive, asked if the Council had ever considered having
an ombudsman. She mentioned that some people do not want to make presentations to the
Council. .
Mayor N�e asked if this would be a compensated person. Mrs. Treuenfets said not normally,
but he could be. She c�ntinued to comment that in this case, the person would work for the
City, not the citizens.
The City Manager explained that if any member of the member commissions would wish to
speak to the Council, he would be able to do so. He also mentioned that if any commission
as a whol•e wanted to visit the Council, this would also be possible. He said the Council
would still make the final dicision. He said this may be adding to the time period by
providing adverse reaction from those individuals requesting action from the Council.
He mentioned that the Council would tend to make less mistakes and their output would be
better.
Mr. Schneider addressed the Council and asked if there cauld be some court of last resort

if a case is not presen�ed fairly by the Planning Commission which would have more
weight than the Planning Corrvnission. He asked if this kind of check and balance could 5e
created by a citizen comnittee appointed by the Council.
• The City Manager said the matter would be reviewed by the Board of Appeals and other
�° corrmissions. he said after this the matter would come to the Council. He said the
Planning Corr�nission would receive the minutes before the Council gets them. He said
there would not only be input by one corrmission, but by more than one.
Mr. Jerry Boardman, Planning Assistant, said the Planning Commission would review the
minutes of the member corrmissions to determine if the recommendationor request is in
7ine with the policy of the City. He said if the member commissions are involved in the
implementation process, they would set the goals and objectives which would be adopted by the
city Council. The City Manager said the Planning Commission would not act on all matters,
they would just review the items for policy. He said there is a number of checks and
bdlances in the process. The City Manager said there would always be room for more.
Councilman Starwalt said he felt much the same way. He said the check and balances
start at the lowest level and work on �hrough the process up to the C�uncil. He said
he•would not want to reject such an idea an an o�5udsman, but thought,this may be thought
of about six months down the road. He said thismay be something that is needed, but he
did not see it now. He said he was not saying the suggestion is without merit.. Mr.
Schneider said he did not see that this was needed at the present time, but said he
was.afraid of what may exist in five years from the present t.ime.
Councilman StarwaTt said he has noticed that there are many comments from the floor and
he felt he hoped there would never be a need for such an ombudsman.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said most of the it.ems of importance come before the Council from
a public hearing. He thought this provision would take care of this concern. He added,•
this invites the public ta be heard on most matters, and thisis after the Planning
Commission has made their recomnendations.
Mr. Schneider asked what would happen if there was not a public hearing. Mayor Nee
said this is usually required by law. Councilman Fitzpatrick said a cftizen may come
before the Planning Corrmission or Council without a public hearing.
The CIty Manager advised the Council that in any major action by the Council such as
rezoning, plats, and vacations of property, a public hearing would be required. In cases
where there is nothing major, there would be norequirement for a public hearing.
Councilman Breider mentioned that with 33,000 people in the City, if the Council did
something that did not do the people any good, they would be in trouble. He said the
Council wanted to gei as many people as possible involved to get the cross thinking of the
individual items. He said he had talked to people concerning the idea of checks and
balances, and they had not come up with anything. �
Mayor Nee said with the proposal, it had been the hope that various conflicts may be
resolved before the matter reaches the Council. Ne said with the various committees
reviewing the matters and receiving the minutes individually, the Council wilt often
times receive many sets of recomnendations and the Planning Commission could process
these conflicting recommendations and send a proposal to the Council. He said he
would like everyone to understand the concept. Mayor Nee said he thought this makes
sense.
Mr. Bill Scott, 1632 64th Avenue N. E., said he had looked at the proposal and he thought
�, that this was a step in the right direction. He said it seemed like quite a formal
proposal and he would like to see theappointment and selection criteria more formal atso.
� He thought that the selection from the wards chould bemade with each member of the Council
making one appointment to each subcommittee and hopefully, from this Ward. He thought
�. participation shouid be from the neighborhood level. He mentioned that' the City had
almost missed the boat in the appointments to the Bi-Centennial Committee.
� Mr. Scott referred to the section concerning the Planning Commission and said that all
� recomnendations should be made to the City Council through the City Manager. He said
he thought the Planning Corrmission should report directly to the City Coucnil. He also
questioned the portion of the section which said the Chairman of the Planning Commission
could assign work to the secretary of.the Subcommittee with the approval of the City
Manager.
Mayor Nee said the City Manager would be responsible for the budget aspects. He used the
�example of if the Planning Comnission would want 1,000 hours of engineering time, this
� adauld upset the budget. Mayor Nee read this section of the proposed ordinance. He

Mr. Scott questioned if this section could be changed to read, "advisory staff may
be assigned by the City P1anager under the r2straints of the general budget".
��y
!. The City Manager said the proposed ordinance reads as the ordinance is at the present
time. He said the minutes are prepared and approved by the Planning Commission. He
continued to point out that it would be the City Manager's duty to see that the Planning
Corrmission receives minutes of their meetings and that these minutes are submitted to the
Council for approval. Ne said this is the way the ordinance has been for 12 years and
,, there had been no problems.
.;
i
Mr. Scott said the ordinance is being presented in quite a forma' fashion, and he
questioned why this section could not be formalized also. He mentioned that the word
"through" in this proposed ordinance makes him think this operation is run like the
military.
The City Manager responded that someone would have to be responsible for seeing that the
minutes get to the City Council. He said this is the process being used now. The
City i�lanager said the current ordinance is as formal as the one proposed, the farmality
had not been changed. The City Manager also men'.�aned that there are many things
coming from the Planning Comnission, not just minutes. The City Manager said there had
not been any problems in this system. •
Mr. Jerry Boardman, Planning Assistant, referred to page 3-H of the agenda and said
this section was not included within the proposal from the Planning Commission. Mr.
Scott said the proposal looks like the Chairman is not going to assign duties consistant
with the corm�ission.
Mayor Nee said the paid administrative employees are the City Manager's employees.
Mr. Scott asked if the Cha�irman asked the secretary to do something, she should have
to ask the City Manager.
The City Manager said if the Commission wants the secretary to do research, she cannot,
she is not capable.
Mayor Nee said he cannot have anyone at City Hall type a letter from him without going
through the City Manager. .
Councilman S'tarwalt mentioned that there would have to be this inclusion so that things do
not get out of hand. He also commented that if the Chairman wou�d direct the secretarial
staff to do work, they may do something that is not right. He said that the members
of the Council should take thi sinto consideration when making appointments ar.d appoint
people who know the ground rules and procedures. Councilman Starwalt said he would
encourage the Council to stick with the proposed working.unless some problem arises.
He also said he would like the apointments to be done according to Wards.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said the suggestion within the proposal is to ercourage appointments
by Ward, but the language is not very strong. Councilman Fitzpatrick said there would be
probtems in arrangement not only in the Ward aspect, but also the schedule of appointments.
Mr. Scott said he would not like the appointments to be haphazard. Mr. �cott said he
thought that there is a haphazard method of rotation. He suggested that the five
members of the Council appoint one member of the Subcommittee, with the Subcommittee
electing their own Chairman.
Councilman fitzpatrick said the appointments are set up to stagger the terms so that
not more than two expire at one time. He questioned how the equal distribution would
work under these conditions.
Mayor Nee said he likalthe idea of the Chairman being elected by the memhers of the
individual member corr�nissions. He said a�iih this syster�, aTl the Council �vould
do is appoint the members of the subcommittee and they wouid elect their orm chairman to �
represent them on the Planning Comnission. He said he was not sure of the details
of this concept,:but it appealed to somethina in him. ;
Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre, 301 Ironton St. N. E., said under this system it would be possible
to have all the members of one commission living on one street.
Mayor Nee said the members of the subcommittee would elect their most representative member,
if they have faith in this person, This member would be totally responsible and accountable
to fie member corrmission.

Councilman Fitzpatrick said he agreed with Mayor Nee. He mentioned that there had been
I' � pro6l..ems with the Chairman of the Subcomnittes not always being representative of the
Co►nnittee. Councilman Fitzpatrick said he is concerned about the geographic distribution

Counciiman Starwalt mentioned that the Council could aprsrove or disapprove of the appointment
as done by the members of the comnission. He said through this process, the Council could
encourage even distribution. •
Mr. Scott asked if what was being proposed is thatthe Chairman would have to come
from one of the Wards. Councilman Fitzpatrick said if the member comr�issions would elect
their own chairman, he did not think there could be even geographic distribution.
Mr. Scott said he did not think there could be even distri6ution at the present time
under this proposal because the language indicates that the Councilviould only be
making an attempt to a�oirt by Wards.
Councilman Breider said if the Mayor ancCouncilperson at Large were to appoint people �
at Large, there would be the same situation. He said there could be. three people from
o�1e area on the committee. , �
Mr. Scott questioned the current openings in the Subcommittees. Mayor Nee indicated that
the Council was hoping to settle the consideration of the currently being discussed ordinance
before the apointments were made. He mentioned that the members of the Council are eager
to appoint members to fill the openings.
Councilman Starwalt mentioned that what may be a,cause to the current problems is the
redistribution of the Ward structure. He said the distr?bution is gradually working
into shape, and he believed the appointments wouid be closer to more evenly distributed
appointments than what is currently in existance. Councilman Starwalt said if the
individual members of the�Council make bad appointments, they hear about it from the
other members of the Council
Mrs. Treuenfels said she felt the election of the chairman from within the member
corm�issions was probably the best way to go. She said under the current system, one
person from each of the corrunittees was permitted to run the committee.
Mr. Dick Harris, Chairman of the Planning Commission, said if the Planning Commission
is not overwhelmed at the present time, they never will be. He said he was not
speaking as a member of the Planning Commission atthe present time, but as a member
of the com�nunity who often brings concerns through the committees, and it would seem ti�at
it may be possible for the whole committee to be replaced at one time. He said this
has happened in the past and it is difficult.
The City Manager said he thought the consideration had.gone fu11 circle.
Mr. Harris also commented on the concern of Ward appointments an�'i.mentioned that this
may make it mandatory tc� deny membership of some capable people on the subcommittees.
He said the modified proposal would take thisinto consideration and he supported the
wording that this be encouraged by Ward. He mentioned that the apointment to any commission
would be majority of the CounciT members. He merrtioned that th�s would take three
Council votes. He said the Councilwould have control of the appointments to the various
committees. �
Mayor�Nee said he did not thi�k there ►vas a need for the law to state there should
be equal Ward representation, the members of the Council are very eager to appoint
within their Wards.
Councilman Starwalt questioned the proposal that each of the members of the Council
appoint members concurrent to their own t2rm of office. He asked what would hapQen
if he moved fran the City and was out of office. He questioned if those he had appointed
would be off the committees with his successor appointing new members. Mayor Nee said
if the terms would run concurrently with the term of office, they would have to continue
until the end of the unexpired term. Councilman Starwalt said he felt very strongly that
the people should not be removed from the committees. He said if able and capable people
are serving, they would not want to push them out because someone else was elected.
The City Attorney said he woutd like•to bring up a legal point. He said he would like
to repeat something the City Manager had pointed out, that the Council would have five
votes on each of the appointments. Not one appointment for each member, this would
have to be voted on.

Mr. Bill Drigans, member of the Planning Corrmission, addressed the Council and said he
did not think the method of appointment should be a part of the ordinance, he feltthis
to be a policy matter. He said he felt the Mayor's proposal for the nomination of�
several people would be a good policy. Ne also mentioned.that�if people are willing to
serve, they should serve the entire comrnunity, not just their small neighborhood. tie
said he never just thinks of his own !tiard, but rather the whole community when the
considerations are before the Planning Commission. He reiterated that the Mayor's
proposal for nominations was the best possible proposal. He said what the member
commissions really need is qualified people and it does not real]y do the City or the
committees any good to have people serving who do not have the knowledge to ask intelligent
questions. He pointed out that the members of the member commissions help the Council by
asking good questions. He said ihe ques,tions shouid be asked at the subcommittee leve�
so the Council has the time to study the var.ious items. He said qualified people should
be appointed, not campaign managers or campaign secretaries. Mr. Drigans said he felt
the wide open appointments would be best, and he wouldlike to see five qualified peopie
who may live within the bounds of one Ward.
Council�t.oman, Kukowski mentioned that she knew of many qualified people in Ward II, she
questioned, where are all of the other people from the other Wards.
Mayor Nee said his suggestion would be to put five �eople in front.of the Council with _.
a presentation of their biography. He said this wc,uld aive the people fice people to
consider for each appointment , and the Council could make the choice from these.five.
He said everyone willing to serve should have some consideration.
Councilman Breider said several weeks.ago, there were letters received by the Council from
people who wished to serve on the Cable Television Commission.
Councilman Starwalt mentioned that the Council would like interested individuals who would
have the time to serve. '
Councilman Breider said he thought the problem in distribution is a practical one which
came from the redistricting of the Wards in the City. He said before this time, he had
appointed people from his 4Jard, now the people ]ive in other Wards. He said he could
see some prob7ems with the proposal from Ward appointments.
Mayor Nee questioned the Council on their feeling concerning the proposal that the indiv-
idual member corrmittees elect the Chairman to serve on the Planning Commission.
Councilman Breider said he feit that the member commission wouid elect the person that
would best represent their views. Ne said he thought this suggestion had a lot of inerit.
Mayor Nee said he liked this proposal. He said he thought the vitality of the member
commissions would be enhanced if the chairman was elected by them and could be considered
"theirs".
The City Manager suggested a different approach statina tfiat it may be feasible for all
of the corranissions to elect their own Chairman, including the Planning Commission. He
said the C ar�cil would havle the authority to solicit who they may want as Chairman of
the cortmittee and this could be the recommdation of the Council.
Mayor Nee said with the proposal for the Chairman to be elected, it would be possible
to replace the chairman if he did not represent the views of the commission.
Councilman Breider said he would much rather have the committees elect their chairman
who would•determine if their position is being served. He said the commission could
replace him or ask him to step down if the person did not represent the commission.. He
,' felt this would be a good form of check and balance.
�
�
��
The Planning Assistant said the Planning Comniccion could have five new members, all at
one time. He questianed if this may create some problems.
Mayor Nee said th�fiv;�ould only happen if all the charmen "goof up". He said there would
be a major change in the Planning Comnission if all of the CMairmen fail to represent
their committee.
Mr. Drigans asked how long the Chairmen would serve. Mayor Nee said this woutd be at
the discretion of the comnitiee.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said there are many things that could be said in favor of this
concept. Councilman Fitzpatrick said unless the commission elected the newest appointment
to the commission, there would be a frequent turn over on the Planning Commission. Mayor
Nee commented that he did not think this would be necessarily so, but it could happen.

He said if there is a strong chairman, he would be reappointed by the Council: Mayor.Nee
said the members of the member commissions would read the minutes of the Planning Commission
Meetingsand the Chairman would have to maintain the confidence of the members: He said
he thought this would be a fair test. He said if not, there is a real question on whether
the representative should be on the Planning Commission. ,
Councilman Fitzpatrick said the concept of the electionof the chairman has much to say
for it. He said he could see scme problems, but they might not be the most important
criteria of the consideration. Councilman Starti�alt said he could see the points raised
by Councilman Fitzpatick. ,
Councilman Starwalt said it has been the feeling in the past to keep as many experienced
members on the Planning Commission as possible. Mayor Nee make the point that if the
Chairman of the Subconanittee does not have the confidence of the committee, maybe
he should not be on the Planning Corrrnission.
Councilman Starwlat corranented that there may not be as much turnover as is being questioned.
Mayor Nee said if strong people are elected by the Subcommittee, there would not be
this much turnover.
The City Manager corr�nented thatthe �C%a!ncil should think about the continuity of.the process.
He said this system would create the potential of having five new members on the Planning
CorrQnission. He suggested-that the Council asi� the subcommittee for their input before
the Council appointment as Chairman. Ne said this would have to be done at Council level.
he mentioned that the Council uses the help of the citizens committees to make decisions,
but the Council has to rr�ake the ultimate decisions. He said the Council has to answer
to the citizens of the City. He reiterated, the continuity of the process is a very
important consideratian. He said the conmittees make suggestions to the Council and these
recommendations have some weight. '
Mayor Nee said this would make the Planning Corranission answerabie to the cemmittees rather
than the Council.
��Ir. Nick Garaffa, 6750 Monroe Street N. E., said he believed that the Chairman should
represent the majority view of the m2mber commissions. Mr. Garaffa said in past action,
some chairmen did not represent the majority view of the commissions. He said there is
the possibility of the chairman acting for himself instead of for the cor�mission
and this stop gap procedure would alleviate this problem. He said the people on the
cortenissions could come to the meeting and indicate tYat the Chairman does not represent
the majority.
The City Manager said that all minutes of the Subcommittees will be reviewed by the
Council and if any action iS taken, the Council will be aware of this. He mentioned
that this would also indicate if the Chairman is not acting in accordance with the feelings
of the majority of the member correnission. The City t�lanager brought up the point that
the Council's decision would be based on all of the members of the community, and the
corrmission's consideration is not tlie all deciding factor. He said the Council will
review all the available material and information aswell as the feelings of the community
and make its decisions for the good of the communiiy.
Mayor Nee said he is sure that the members of the Council review the minutes of the member
commissions and are aware of the areas of conflict.
Mr. Garaffa said there is a loophole inthis statement. He said the action views of the
various correnissions may not be presented to the Council at the same time. He sai� not �
� just the recommendations of the Planning Commission should be considered. He said this
� would be alright if the recorrmendation represents the majority thinking. He said all of
the member corrmissions should find out about the consideration in a timely manner, not
like in the past, after an item is acted on by the Council.
� Mayor Nee said the chairman would be alert to the considerations that his individual
committee should review. He said the chairman should also have the confidence ta enter
�� �. into negotiations. He added, if the member commission distrusts the chairman because
of his imprompto statements, he will have to come back and face this lack of confidence.
• Mr. Garaffa stated that it may be possible for a chairman to wear two hats and forget
'� about what happens on the subcorrmittee level. Mr. Garaffa said he would like the
cortmittees to have the right to regress at the time of action, not two to three weeks
after.
Mrs. Treuenfels said she was concerned about the City Manager's concern over the
continuity rather than representation.

Mr. Scott addressed the Council and suggested that the Planning Commission be comprised of
five memebers with a non voting chairman in addition to this. He suggested that if there
is a tie vote, the chairman would be the tie breaker. He said he thought the Ctiairman
of the Planning Comnission should not serve on other commissions.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said at the present time, the Chairman of the Planning Commission
does vote. He mentioned that the Chairman has always voted in the past. Mr. Scott
said with the current proposal, there would be six members on the Planning Commission and
there is a possibility of a tie vote. Mr. Scott suggested the possibiTity of the Chair-
man not being a voting member and stated that in �he proposal, he is to be the Chairman
of the Comnunity Development Comnission. He suggested that the duties of the Chairman
of the Planning Comnission be limited to t#�is without having him on another commission.
The City Attorney asked Councilman Fitzpatrick if he would care to be a non voting
member of the Planning Commission in view of the fact that he was a past Chairman
of the Corrmission. He mentioned *hat the chairman in this instance would be involved in
all of the considerations and not have a voice in the outcome. He said he did not think
this would be satisfactory.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said there is such a small number of inembers, He did not think
that �he point that the vote may be split at some t;.�es to be a valid point, but he
felt there may be some problem in getting a chairman if this is the case. Councilman
Fitzpatrick said often times, there are members of the Planning Commission absent and it
may be difficult to have a quorum present.
Councilman Starwalt said now the Chairman does vote. He said he would encourage this'to
continue.
Mayor Nee said he could not see any problems when the Ce?uncil vaould have the final decision
to make.
The City Manager again mentionedthe continuity and said there were pros and cons in the
proposal. He said it would also be possible that the Ciiairman of the Planning Commission
be elected within the Planning Corrm�ission. He said thiscould be done in all commissions.
The City Manager continued to state that he was trying to point out the alternatives to
the Council and also the pros and cons.
Mr. Gafaffa asked if ihe consiructionof the commissions could be left just as they are.
He said if they were reviewing all of the alternatives, one would be that they be
left alone. Ne said the commissions are operating with a broad base with much citizen
input at the present time.
I Councilman Starwalt said the Council had been holding up the appointments to satisy itself
, that the proposal is the right and proper thing. He said those people that have continued
i to serve through the expired terms had done so by choice. He said there is a need to
i add some people at this time. He said the Council would have to get to the filling of the
vacancies.
Mr. Bill Drigans said as the proposal stands at the present time, the Chairman of the
Correnunity Development Comnission will serve as the Chairman of the Planning Commission.
He asked the Gouncil to consider that this may allow for change in the Chairmanship of the
Planning Commission on an annual basis. Mr. Drigans said this should be worked'aut and
if continuity is a factor, it should be stressed at this level.
The City Manager said if continuity is a factor, the members wouldnot all change in one
year, they'would only change two per year. He said if there are all new members on
- ; the Planning Commission, they would have to begin each process aver again. He su�gested
that two of the five members should be changed at one time and one the alternate year.
; He said he could see some problems in the members of the Planning Commission serving less
� � than three years. He said this method has worked in the past and he suggested that it
I be retained.
Mayor Nee said it might be desirable to have a change. Ne suggested that the Chairman
not be a member of any conmission.
The City Manager said he thought there would be special concern if the Council would appoint
someone who would not vote.
; htayor Nee said the Chairman could be apointed by the Council, not by a member of another
� comnission and a voting member. He said let him vote. The City Manager questioned the
, � concern over the tie vote. Mayor Nee said the item would still come to the Council.
Mayor Nee said the Council gets a fair sampling of what is said at the subcommittee
;�.� 1 meetings and if there is a tie vote, he could not see why this would make this much
� difference.

PUBLIC NEP,RING MEETING OF MAY 12, 1975 PAGE 11
Mrs. Lee Ann Sporre said she thought that the proposal was brought about because the
staff has not had enough impact on the decision making process. She mentioned that the
criteria should be spelled out on which committee should undertake considerationon specific
types of items. She used the example that if the staff feels that something is a park
item, and it also involves the environment, it should be spelied out wh'ich items go to
what system. She stated there is the potential of something would get to the Council
throur�h this flow without the committee input because of staff decision.
Mayor Nee said �f the subcorrmittee had the right to consider an item, the Subcorrnnittee
Chairman could preempt it at the Planning Commission level. He said this may delay the
item for two weeks, but it would rely on the Chairman taking hold of it and saying, this
is something that my comnittee would like to taik about. Ne said he felt this would
act as a circuit breaker and there would be no problems.
Mayor Nee said this would allow the Chairmen of the Subcommittees an unchallengable right
to ask for an item for two weeks and this would tend to soive the problem.
Mrs. Sporre said the earlier the Subcorrmittee receives the item, the better. She said
she thought the Council should spell out each area and this would be for information to
the staff. She said the staff could tell what a Square block is if the Council would tell
them. She recailed that the City Manager said sc,,e consideration might not go through all
of the member corrmissions.
The City Manager said maybe he had not made himself clear. The City Manager said he
thought the concerns raised by Mrs. Sporre were the concerns that ..NOUId be avoided
by the adopt�on of the proposed ordinance. He explained that the comprehensive plan
will be reviewed by all member comnissions and Planning Commission and CouoCil before
being adopted. He mentioned that the EPlvironmental Quality Commissionis working on
a model ordinance. He said this would be reviewed by the EQC, Planning Commission and
Gouncil. He said this document would up date the comprehensive plan and would lay
out the concerns of the Environmental Quality Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission
and all of the other member commissions. He said this would adopt the framework and
there are no problems at the staff level. He said one consideration may go to one or
all of the member commissions. He said the staff would not gain more power with the
proposal, it would have very little impact and the citizens will have greater impact.
He said the comprehensive plan would be adopted by the cornmissiflns and they are to
see that this plan is carried out. He said there would be more review by the citizens
comnittees than there is at the present time, and also greater total review.
Mayor Nee said in his discussions with the City Manager, the CSty Manager's biggest
concern was the possibility of increase staff effort. He said he would not want
to involve additional staff time, and there are sone negotiations in progress. Mayor
Nee said he would like to minimize the staff input. He said he did not think the
current discussion could cover everything that could possibily go wrong with the
proposal. ,
Mr. Scott asked how the matters are directed to the various commissions. Mayor Nee
answered saying sometimes, the Council receives a matter and will direct it to the Park
Board or the concerned body. The City Manager said it would be possible to direct
the various items to all five ef the commissions. He stated that thgnember commissions
would have io adopt some document plan to live by. The would be a guide for the •
administration. He said with th2 adootion of the plan, there is nothing that would not
go automatically to the proper corrrnission. He added, if not all of the proper input
has been considered on an item, it may be sent bac+� by the Council. He said there would
always b,e a cycle.
The City Manager mentioned that Council would have to have some concern for the time
� limits. He said the Lity of Fridley would have a number of commissions thatthe other
� cities do not have. He said thiswill add two weeks tc the process. Mayor Nee mentioned
that the administrationwould route all items where they should go and someone in the
chain could claim the item if they felt their commission should review the matter.
• The City Manager continued to comment that if something would come to the Council and the
Comprehensive Plan had not been addressed in the question, the Council could send the matter
back to the Planning Comission or any other member commission. He said the staff could
direct matters, the Planning Comnission could direct items, Council could and, a1sA the
member corranissions. The City Manager used as an example that all of the environmental
concerns would be listed and these concerns would be taken to the EQC.
� , : Councilman Starwalt read a portion of the City's 1975 calen�ar to the Council and audience
dealing with the growth and development of the City.

Mr. Garaffa asked if the current set up of the conanission would be unacceptable.
The City Manager responded tha tif the c��issiorg were left as they are they would
not address the human resources concerns and would not relate directly to the environmental
concerns. He said the Council had directed him and he had made the plans for this
revamping. Mayor Nee said he would like to explain the motivating force in this .
consideration and said he had been pressing for this revision more than anybody.
Councilman Breider explained thatthe current proposal would address a multitude of
concerns. He mentioned that the City currently has a Plais and Subdivisions, Streets
and Utilities Subcommittee and there is not that much land left for development in the
City. He said there may be two to three more plats in the City and he wald rather have
a working conmission. Councilman Breider continued that the current arrangement allows
for concerns to go directly to the Council from the individual subcommittees. He said
it would seem to him that a better job of planning and consideration of the concerns
could be done if the items were reviewed by all of the subcommittees and the Planning
Commission before coming to the Council. He said the activitites of the City and the
member corr�missions should be directed by policy, and currently the administration does
not have this kind of policy.
Mr. Garaffa questioned if a car had two bad tires, would the whole care be replaced.
� He said the City was planning a whole new structure when they did not know if -it
is going to work. He suggested that this be put off at this time or perhaps be done
, gradually. Mr. Garaffa said maybe the City should take another look at what the
problems are.
CounciTman Breider asked Mr. Garaffa if he had a workable solution in mind. Mr. Garaffa
said he would suggest replacement on a one to one basis.
Mayor Nee said this revamping is out growth of the present structure. He explained that
the proposal would be building on to what is in existance. He said the first proposal
Consolidates the plumbing or streets and utilities functions with the streets and
utilities and other process and creates the Corr�nunity Development Commission. ;ie mentioned
' that secondly, the Environmental Quality Corrmision would be brought into the Planning
Comnission process. Mayor Nee said the third revision would bring the Human Resources
Comnission into the Planning Corrmission process a1so. Mayor Nee said it is his hope
that the process will solve conflicts within the free wheeling atmosphere of the Planning
Commission. Mr. Garaffa said he saw,Mayor Nee's point.
Councilman Starwalt said he did not think the proposal reflected that much change and it
did cover items that had been discussed before by the Council. Councilman Starwalt
said there was not a big push to do this right at the present time, the public hearing had
been set up several weeks ago. Councilman Starwalt said he thought the reorganization
woutd correct the problems. He said maybe all of theproblems would not be solved, but
' it would be smoc�her and this could be amendedin the futu,re to take care of any problems
' down the road.
- •--�
�
Mayor Nee said the most drastic change is that each concern should to to the Planning
Corrmission before it goes to Council. He indicated that at the present time, the items
have not been directed in this manner and the Council questions what the individual
committees may and do think about the items. Mayor Plee explained under the current
, proposal for revision, each of the member commissions who would have a concern about
any proposal would review the proposal and it would then go to the Planning Commission for
review and modification and consolidation of the member commission's recommdation and
stipulations. He said after this, the matter would be directed to the Council with a
combined response of the member corronissions and Planning Commission recommendation. Mayor
�� Nee said he thought this would be the best manner of having thinc� processed and examined. -
Mrs. Treuenfels said that by what the people nave said at the current meeting is that
! the people have lost faith in their leaders. She continued to state that she thought the plan
. would be good to help restore the faith. She also mentioned that it is a good proposal
that the corrrnittees elect their chairman because this lends to faith in government. She
said she felt this to be a good plan and also thought 'it would work very well.
The City Attorney used an example that one wants to build a plant in Fridley and this
individual comes into the City and is told that he wouldneed rezoning and also variances.
He would also need approval of the building plans. In order to complete this process, he
would have to go to the Appeals Commission, may be to the ENvironmental Quality Commission,
the Community Development Comnission, the Planning Commission and the Council. Ne said the
man would be faced with five meetings. He said each of the member commissions would come
up with a different stipulations and there may be a new set of rules set by each commission.

He questioned if the applicant would be expected to produce: representation at each of '
the subcomenittee meetings. The City Attorney asked how much time and money 'this wouad take.
tie mentioned at this time the City of Fridley has the reputation of being cooperative
with its work between the staff and the applicants and the Council and the applicants.
The City Manager said he would like to address his comments to Mr. Garaffa. He said
the reaction of the staff to this proposal is that this would put more work and burden
on the staff. He said there would be more input from the community. and the commissions
and he did not know if this could be done with the present staff. He said the current
proposal is in no way what the staff had originaily proposed. Ne said this has had
three to four months of review. He sa�id he wouldnot want to give the impression that
the staff is being pushy, he said they are merely reacting to the wishes of the Council.
He said the proposal is only taking out what is not needed at the current time. He
said the Environmental Quality Conmission had been sying for years that they had not taken
care of.any concerns and they had not had anything to react to. He said wiCh. this nroposal
they will have an important function andhave a specific job. He said they are currently
establishing an environmental ordinance that would establish the framework for the City.
The City Manager explained that any environmental concerns will go to them. The same
consideration realtes to the Human Relations Commission. He said this group was created
byresolution and not by an ord�nance. He said '.'�e meetinqs have not been weil attended
because of lack of items to react to. He said establishing the Human„Resources Commission
would give a broader input. He suggested topics for their consideration such as senior
citizens in the City and youth concerns, fine arts and the woman's job market. These
con�erns have serious impact on the City. ,
'ihe City Manager continued to explain that the Council feels tha t the City should increase
the impact of these areas and replace what the City has outgrown. He said he must emphasize
that this is not a staff plan. He said this is the Council's plan and the staff had been
directed to prepare it. The City Manager said he had certain reservations about this
plan. He said there was only so much staff and so much resources. He said this is
going to add to the review process the City noa� has.
Mr. Garaffa addressed the sign question that had been previously considered by the Counci�
he mentioned that the sign people had said all of the commercial area was available
for signs. Mr. Garaffa said this wouldindicate that the City is for what the public is
against. Mr. Garaffa said he felt the proposal to be bad for the City and would bring
about more problems. He thought that everything should go smoothly with public input.
Mr. Garaffa indicated he felt that the City has a problem meeting the public will and
Feople are concerned about past mistakes. He said checks and balances wauld help this
Mayor Nee said he felt that this was in effect what was being said in the groposal.
Mr. Dick Harris questioned how mueh time would be added to the entire consideration procedure
after adoption of this ordinance. Mr. Harris used as an example the recent proposal
by RAO Manufacturing. The City Manager said this would add from one to two weeks to the
consideration time and it may add as much as two r�onths. He said if this had to be
reviewed by all of the member commissions with the considerations that certain Statutes
had to be adhered to for something like rezoning. He added, hopefully, it would not take
as much time after the adoption of the comprehensive plan, since thiswould address all
aspects of the consideration. He also mentioned if some development would involve the
dedication of some park land, this consideration would have to be reviewed by the Park
and Recreation Cor�nission. He said if the comprehensive plan is laid out, the developer
a�ill know what the City wants. He said the City has a zoning Code and thiswould adopt
additiohal documents for �uidelines. He said the Planning Commission would review the
matter with all of the minutes of the member commissions and all of the minutes and
recorrmendations would be brought to the Council at one time. He mentioned that an item
may only have to go to one member commissionand some may have to go to four.
Mr. Harris said he was speaking as aD individual and said that one or two weeks would
not bother him, but a delay of two months wou;d not be reasonable. He said he did not
think the shorter delay would be unreasonable.
Mayor Nee asked if currently rezoning would take about six weeks. He said with the
addition of two weeks, this could take up to two months. Mr. Harris repeated if this
would take�thenormal time plus two months, he would_d?lett to this. The City Manager
said some development consideration should ao to the Environmental Quality Commission and
this is not currently in the plan. .
Mr. James Langenfeld, Chairman of the Fridley EQC, addressed the Council and indicated
that most of the requests for development in the spring of the year could be taken care
of in the winter months previous to this time. He said he objected to the people that
�
�
i�
;
i
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF MAY 12, 1975 PAGE 14
come to the City with some kind of an emergency rush. He sited as an example the man
who comes in for a variance and says he has a load of concrete ready to pour and needs
instant action. He said when the ordinance is established this would be a good point
for environmental considerations.
t��
Councilman Starwalt said even if it takes six months for some major concerns, this time
should be taken. He said the lesser matters could be taken care of in from one to
two weeks. he said he believed ihe "red tape" to be a protection factor for everyone.
Councilman Starwalt said if there is a delay, maybe they could come up with a better
development than they would have had otherwise.
Mr. Harris said he would like to quali,fy his statement and one to three weeks would not
be Objectionable. He said in a case as the City had ten years ago (tornauo) where there
is a major disaster, the City 4vould have to look at a different system of Nrogressing.
He said thiswould be a d.ifferent case.
Councilman Starwalt questioned whether the current amount of City staff would fit this
framework. He mentioned, if not, there will be problems. ��ayor Nee said he did not
feel that the City had to provide staff for the project committees, but staff would be
s�plied at the corrmission level .
The City Manager said as far as he knew, the Boa�•d of Appeals has had staff, the Planning
Comnission and the Parks and REcreation Coirmission. He aid the others had not been until
recently. He mentioned that ihe Environmental Quality Coir:mission is now receivina staff
assistance at their meetangs because of the prcject they are involved in. Councilman
Starwalt asked if adequate staffing could be provided ard tPe City Marager said yes, but
there would be a shift in resources, now they are only providing three subcommittees
with staff. Councilman Starwalt asked if this would be adequate to do justice with the
present staff. The City Manager said �he memben,� ccmmissions might fee1 that they
need more information and data or material and thishas to be limited. The City Manager
said he hoped that the cortenissions would not expect a great deal of help because fihis
would have to be limited.. He mentioned this would not be a drastic change from what
is being done today.
Mayor Nee used as a sample ,.�?roject. the Environmental Quality Commission had asked to
monitor the water coming in from Spring Lake Park and Coon Rapids. Fie sa'rJthe costs
of this type of project would have to be monitored and the Council would have to decide.
Councilwoman Kukowski said she like the plan and would like to ,see the member commissions
elect their own chairman.
Councilman Breider said he felt the same way. He said he would also like to see the
corrmittee chairman elected by the members.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he felt tnis would be a good �lan. He seid he believed that
the election of the member corronissionchairman would solve many problems.
Mayor Nee asked the members of the Council how they feli: about the chairman o` the Flanning
Comnission not serving as chairman of tne Community Development Commission. He said
this would allow the Planning Commission Chairman to be free to operate the Planning
Comnission.
Mr. Richard Harris, Planning Canmission Chairman, said he would prefer to not be the
Chairman of another commission, there is just not this much time. He also explained
that he believed that the Chairman of the Planniny Conumission.shou?� be a voting member
of that body. He said there had been some problems in th past with raising a quorum
and this would ino°ease the difficulty. He said it is always possible for the Planning
Comnission to send something to the Council without a recommendation or a tie vote.
Mayor Nee said the proposal would be that the Chairman of the Planning Commission not be
a member of any other comission and that he be a voting member of the Planning Commssion
which would make a total of six voting members.' •
Mr. Bill Scatt said he had brought up this concern because of the possibility of a tie
vote, but he also felt that the Chairman should be a voting member of the Planning
Comnission.
Mayor Nee said this will allow for 25 people on the commissions wiih the addition of the.
Planning Commission Chairman, which would make 26. He said as many people as wanted or
needed could serve on the individual ad hoc committees within eacf� member commission.
Mayor Nee asked the City Manager if he would amend the o�rd�nance to state those things
which had been agreed upon through the discussion. The City Manager listed the following
changes to be made in the ordinance: the member comnissions would elect their own

chairman, the Planning Commission Chairman would serve only on the Rlanning Commission
and he would be a voting m�mber. ° .
Councilman Starwalt asked if the ordinance could be adopted on first reading. The City
manager said it could be anended on second reading.
. �
MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilinan
Fitzpatrick.
Mr. Drigans asked how the Council intended to make the appointments. He felt this should
� be a policy matter. Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if the ordinance would be adopted as
it stands, he said there would be some problems with the members being the committees
are being consolidated.
Mayor Nee said he strongly urged the Council to adopt the proposal that he had made.
He said he was not sure that this would happen. He said there is no question on the method
of appointment, there is a concern over the nominating process.
Mr. Bill Scott said he would like to see the Council mem5ers personally accountable for the
members they appoint.
Mr. Nick Garaffa said with the current proposal, it would make it possible for all of the
members of the Planning Commission to be from one 4Jard. He asked if it would be possible
to indicate that the Chairman would be from a different Ward if the majority of the members
are•from Ward. Mayor Nee said if the appointment is to be for three years, it would be
difficult to just dump it.

CONTINUATION Of THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MEETING OF MAY 8, 1975 PAGE 1
The annual Board of Equalization meeting was continued at 7:30 P.M. on May 15, 1975,
by Councilman Breider chairing the meeting in the absence of Mayor Nee.
ATTENDANCE
Present were Mayor Pro Tem Breider; Councilwoman Kukowski; Councilman Fitzpatrick; Marvin
Brunsell, Assistant City Manager; Mervin Herrmann, City Assessor; Leon Madsen, Deputy
Assessor; Walter Mulcahy, City Appraiser; and Lou Johnson representing Anoka County.
Councilman Starwalt.entered the meeting at 7:33 P.M.
Mayor Nee was absent
Mayor Pro Tem Breider explained that questians raised by three property oti�ners regarding
various lots were continued unt.il this time to allow the Assessing Department to re-
evaluate these properties and present any recommendations they might have regarding the
valuations on these properties to tne Council at this time.
N0. 1--MR. DUANE NAROG, 1465 NORTN DANUBE (LOT 5, BLOCK 3, IP�NSBRUCK NORTH ADDITION,
PLAT 56353, PARCEL 240)
1 A review •�as made of this property on iNay 9, 1975, by the Assessing Department. It
was determined that errors made in construction do have a negative effect on the property
, value. Due to the fact that the basement area of this home is quite useless'except
for utility storage, it was the recommendation of the Assessing Department that this
� structure be valued as though it were constructed over crawl space rather than full
basement, reducing the 1975 value on the structure by $5,290.00, to a new value of
$45,540.00. The Assessing Department felt that the land value should remain at $11,760.00,
which results in a total 1975 value for taxes payable in 1476 of $57,300.00.
'
MOTION by Councilmari Fitzpatrick to concur in the recommendation of the City Assessor
and reduce the 1975 valuation to $57,300.00. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon
a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Pro Tem Bredier declared the motion carried unanimously.
N0. 2--MR. RANDY LEE HOFFA, 8000 EAST RIVER ROAD (LOTS 12 AND 25, BLOCK 8, SP�2ING BROOK
PARK ADDITION, PLAT 59140, PARCEL 1540)
A review of this property was made by the Assessing Department. A nu'mber o.f items were
� � noted that they felt should be valued,at less than the original value. The rate used
for the bedroom area in the basement, and the floor and ceiling tile in the laundry should
be reduced. The value for the bath in the basement should be eliminated until the floor
drains are unplugged. The rate used on the garage should be reduced due to poor roof
� construction. For these reasons, it was the recommendation of the City Assessor that
the land value of $4,320.00 remain the,same, but that the structure value of $25,900.00
be reduced by $1,290.00 to a new structure value of $24,610.00, resulting in a new total
of $28,930.00 in the 1975 value for taxes payable in 1976.
'
�
�,--
�
\
�
Councilman Fitzpatrick questioned if the total 1975 value should not be reduced to
$26,000.00, as this home was purchased so recently for this sales price.
Mr. Herrmann pointed out that in discussion with the property owner, Mr. Hoffa �had
stated that in purchasing his home it was a direct sale with no commission involved,
dnd that Mr. Hoffa felt his home was.worth more than $26,000.00.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to concur in the recommendation of the City Assessor
and reduce�the 1975 valuation to �28,930.00. Seconded by Gouncilman Starwalt. Upon
a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Pro iem Breider declared the motion carried unanimously.
N0. 3--MR. RICHARD HARRIS, 7701 MAIN STREET NORTHEAST AND VACANT LOT ADJACENT
(LOT 5, BLOCK 3, EAST RANCH ESTATES 2ND ADDITION WITH BUILDING: AND LOT 6, BLOCK 3,
EAST RANCH ESTATES 2ND ADDITIOPI, WHICH IS VACANT: PLAT 55754, PARCELS 140 AND 150)
Mr. Herrmann stated that a representative from the County had made appraisals of all
structures on which the valuation was questioned as being too high by Mr. Harris, and
in each case the County's appraisal was higher than the original valuation set.by
the City Assessor.

CONTINUATION OF THE BOARD OF EQUALIZATION MEETING Of MAY 8, 1975 PAGE.2
MAY 15, 1975
The City Assessor's recommendation on Lot 5, Block 3, East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition,
which has a structure on it, was that no reduction in valuation was recommended.
On Lot 6, Block 3, East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition, a vacant lot, a reduction has already
been allowed due to poor soil conditions, so the City Assessor also recommended no change
in valuation.
7710 AND 7720 MAIN STREET NORTHEAST (LOTS 1-10, gLOCK 8, ONAWAY ADDITION, PLAT 57189,
PARCEL 1830)
Mr. Herrmann stated that the Assessing Department has already allowed a credit on half
of the lots because of poor soil conditions, but the other lots have a structure, so no
change in land values is recommended. In placing a market value on the structure, an
increase of fifteen per cent was used just as on the land but only a nine per cent increase
should have been used. Also, the office was not built as large as indicated on the plans.
For these reasons, it was the recommendation of the City Assessor that the 1975 value on
the structure be reduced by $9,100.00 and that the land value of $21,500.00 remain the
same, which results in a total 1975 value for taxes payable in 1976 of $104,700.00.
13-15-17--77TH 41AY NORTHEAST (LOTS 11 AND 26-37, BLOCK 8, ONAWAY ADDITION, PLAT 57189,

It was the recommednation of the City Assessor that no change be made in the yaluation
of this property.
VACANT LOTS (LOTS 1-7, BLCOK 7, ONAWAY ADDITION, PLAT 57189, PARCELS 1420, 1430, 1440,
1450, 1460, 1470, AND 1480)
Mr. Herrmann stated that Mr. Harris had given him a plat map of Onaway Addition dated
1911 which had a topography outline showing some low ground. On the basis of this map,
the City Assessor's recoriunendation was that the valuation on Lots 2 and 6 be reduced
by $400.00 each due to the fact tha� part of these lots was poor, resulting in a 1975
value of $2,100.00 on each lot; and that the valuation on Lots 3 and 5 be reduced
by $800.0� each as they were fully within the boundaries of the low area, giving each
of these lots a 1975 value of $1,700.00; and that the valuation of Lot 4 remain as is
hecause a reduction has already been allowed on this lot.
VACANT LOTS (LOTS 21, 22, AND 23, BLOCK 1, ONAWAY ADDITION, PLAT 57189, PARCELS 210,
220, AND 230) '
The old plat map of Onaway Addition showed no evidence of poor soil conditions on these
lots, so it was the recommendation of the City Assessor that no change be made in the
valuation on these lots. '
Some discussion was held between Mr. Harris and the various members of the Council.
Mr. Harris stated that he has come to some conclusions about the valuations on his
buildings. He feels if he had used more of these lots far actual structure and less
for parking, more actual cost would have been involved in the construction. Mayor Pro
Tem Breider pointed out.that he does have room for expansion which would be an added
selling factor which many of our industrual buildings do not have. .
Mr. Harris questioned if the valuation rate used is the same on metal and concrete
block buildings. Mr. Madsen replied that the square foot rate is less on metal buildings,
and that the life of a metal building is also cansidered shorter than that of a concrete
block building. Mr. Harris stated that he feels he is going to have to go with metal
structure rather than concrete block structure to save on building costs. Mr. Madsen
mer�ioned that the materials available today for metal structures are much improved since
they first started being utilized.
Mr. Harris also stated that he feels he loses money every year on these commercial -
buildings because he has to take into�consideration the interest he has to pay, the
insurance, upkeep of buildings, etc. and yet feels he can only raise the rent so high
if he is to keep these buildings occupied. He said he is going to place his industrial
properties on the selling market because he feels there is no object in building
correnereial properties unless there is some profit involved. •

OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
MRS. LIDA ROBIDOUX, 6775 EAST RIVER ROAD, REQUEST FOR FUNDING AID FOR RECREATIONAL
PURPOSES FOR SENIOR CITIZENS:
Mayor Nee said he had talked to Mrs. Robidoux and he called her forward to address the
Council. Mrs. Robidoux explained that the spokesman for the group to be Reverend Edwin
Foote, 195 Satellite Lane.
. ' Reverend Foote addressed the Council and indicated that he had brought some materials
for the Council revie�v so the presentation could be brief. He explained that the funding
for the Senior Citizen's Recreational programs would be cut soon and he requested the
: Council eonsider contributing to the Recreational Activities of the Fridley Senior
' Citizens at budget t4me. Reverend Faote read the communication presented to the Council
, in explanation of the need and the request.
Mayor Nee said if he understood the program, the Senior Citizens take trips and conduct
meetings, etc. Reverend Foote said this was correct. He said if any of the members
of the Council would attend the meetings at Fridley Methodist Church, they would see
that this is a v�ide program and worthwhile for the Senior Citizens. Mayor Nee asked
what the current membership of the Club is. Reverend Fo�te said there were about 80
members. He added, there are many visitors to the meetings also.
Mayor Nee asked if the request was for the City to contribute the funds that had
formerly been available through Title III. .
Councilman Starwalt mentioned that he had attended meetings of another group of Senior
Citizens and they were a lively capable group. He said he did not have enough back-
ground to comment at this time.
' Reverend Foote said the group asked that their request be given some consideration and
� he said they would be available to answer any questions before any decision is made.
; Mayor Nee asked if the current funding will be through on the first of July and Reverend
Foote said he thought that it would continue until that time and there is the possibility
of attempting to carry it through until the end of the year. Mayor Nee asked if the
� request was that this be considered for 1976. Reverend Foote said if the city can
' find the money in 1975, they would appreciate this.
Councilman Starwalt said he did not think the Council would be this generous. He said
all of the�City expenditures have to come from somewhere. Reverend Foote said he
understood this because Senior Citizens are more concerned about the economy than
anyone. �

RE6ULAR COUNCIL MEETIN6 Of MAY 19, 1975 PAGE 2
Mayor Nee said he knew the people in this group and they had paid a great deal of money
in tax dollars. He thought that they should get some share of what is put'in. He.
said they were making the contribution and they are not getting the benefit. He mentioned
that they do not have children in school and many of their children had attended schools
in other areas.
Councilman Starwalt said that each tax dollar spent would have to be added to the tax
levy. He asked if this type of request could be taken from the recreation budget.
Reverend Foote said most of these people are grand parents and they have a great deal
of interest in their grand children and the recreation facilities in the City. He
said they also thought that recreation should be handled to have programs for all age
groups in the City. �
Councilman Starwalt sa.id the City budgeting is quite a process and it takes a great
deal of hashin� out. He mentioned that every department feels they need so many tax
dollars. Reverend Foote said he was very aware of the budget procedure in dealing with
finance. He said they were just asking for some consideration.
The City Manager said the members of the group had shown their feelings to the Council
Ne said the request would be worked in to the '�tal budget process. He asked if some
member of their group would be meeting with thC Parks and Recreation Commission. He
pointed out that they were currently meeting in the next room. The City Manager said
the request would be brought to the Council's attention at budget time.
MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to put this request int�� the budget process for
consideration at that time. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
The City Manager encouraged the Senior Citizens present to appear at the Parks and
Recreation Meeting. '
Mayor Nee thanked the group for coming to the meeting and Mrs. Robidoux thanked the
Council for the consideration.
The City Manager addressed the Council and indicated he would like to take a few
minutes of the time alloted for the Visitor's section to recall the activities of the
day due to a severe windstorm in the community. He said the City Hall switchboard
had been in operation until about 7:00 P.M. that evening. He directed anyone who
wanted to reach City Hall, to call the Police Department. He mentioned that NSP and
the Gas Company were working in the community to restore service where there had been
wires down and gas leaks. He again mentioned if anyone wanted attention, they sFould
call the Police Department.

The City Manager said the administration had submitted to them in their agenda a copy
of the ordinance that the Council had directed them to amend. He pointed out that one
change would be that the Chairman of the individual member commissions would be elected
by its members and would serve for the term of one year. He said this would give them
the choice of electing every year. He further explained that the person who had been
elected by the memaer commission to serve as their chairman would be the Planning
Corrmission member from that member commission. He suggested that the Planning Cor�nission
elect their chainnan just as the member commission would be doing. He said if the Council
appointed the Chairman of the Planning Commission with a total of six on the comnission,
there is the concern that there is an even number of inembers on the Commission. He
said traditionally, this system has not been followed. The Planning Commission has
specific powers for hearings and this may cause potential problems. He continued to
say that if the Council feels that this would be good on the member commission level,
it could'also be done on the Planning Commission level. He said this way the Planning
Comnission would be a five member commission. He said if the Council feels that the
work of the Chairman would be great,.the Commission member would have the right to
refuse the appointment with another member taking over to carrying on the duties of
chairman.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 19, 1975 PAGE 3
He said there would be pros and cons both ways. He said this could potentially help
in not creating problems. .
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he felt the Council was back where they had been previously
and this would make the Chairman of the member commission the chairman of the Planning
Commission. He again said this would be back to where they had been in the plans. He
further stated that today, the Planning Commission Chairman is not a chairman of a
commission. He said he was thinking of the work load, and he related to this because
he had been the Chairman of the Planning Commission.
The City Manager said he knew what Councilman Fitzpatrick ment, but his suggestion
would give ihe person the choice to �ake the Chairmanship. He said there would be five
people to choose from instead of the limited Council appointment. He said the person
would have to be willing. He said he thought this to be a healthy compromise.
Councilman Breider questioned what hearings the Planning Commission had. The City
manager said they have hearings on rezoning. Councilman Breider asked how this could
create any trouble. The City Manager said in a tie vote. Councilman Breider said this
had been brought up at the last meeting. He mentioned that the Commission had had a
hard time getting together a quorum and he would rather face the problem of having a
tie vote.
The City Manager said this problem of a quorum had not existed to his knowiedge.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he agreed with the Ci�y Manager. The City Manager said the
members of the Planning Corr�nission are very dedicated. Councilman Fitzpatrick said
once in a while a member would just drop out and not continue; to come to the meetings.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he had been the Chairman of the Parks and Recreation
Comnission and also the Planning Commission Chairman and he knew that these were big
jobs. He thought it would be to the Council's advantage to foTlow the plan where the
Chairman of tbe Planning Commission did not chair another member commission.
The City Manager said this would be a compromise proposal that would give a choice
to the person. He mentioned that the Chairman does enjoy certain authority.
Councilman Breider said the worst thing that could happen is that something would
come to the Council without a recommendatian.
The City Manager said he could see that when there are six members, some people would
say that it should be seven. He said five members would be more manageable. He
said this couid be tried and adjusted later.
� Mayor Nee�said he felt the tie vote thing is unconsequentail. He mentioned that any-
thing that Cbse in the Planning Commission vote would be a conflict or problem anyway.
He said that there had been some argument that this would give one subcommittee a good
position in the wh�le coniest, but he saw it just the opposite from this.
�
'
Mayor Nee said to the City Manager that he felt he wanted to set up the member commissions
and planning commission to have five, five member commissions. He thought the City
Manager felt this would be more neat.
The City Manager said this would not be his only consideration. Ne said he thought
this concerned the manageability of the commissions.
Councilman Starwalt said he understood what the City Manayer was saying. He said he
did not think six members on the Planning Commission would be a problem. He said they
' are all reasonable people. He said he agreed with Councilman Fitzpatrick in the work-
load aspect. He said six would have the advantage to decrease the work load.
�
'
'
�
�
Mayor Nee explained that he had the feeling that he was not sure if he liked the idea
of the Council imposing a chairman. He commented that maybe the Councii would want
one representative in the package. .
Councilman Breider said he thought that the Council may be loosing the point. He said
the checks and balances in the subconanittee would be created by them having the vote.
He said the Planniny Comrnission Chairman would be the overseer and in his mind he would
be more a. moderator or negotiator. He siad he would not be concerned if the Council
appointed the member, he would care if the person would do a good job as the chairman
of the Planning Commission.
Counc�lman Starwalt said if someone whated to increase the membership of the Planning
Commission to seven, he would be opposed to this. He said maybe going to six would
do this somewhat, but, he would not agree to seven.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETIN6 OF MAY 19, 1975 PAGE 4
The City Manager said he thought he should mention that there may be.some prablems in
the future. � .
The City Manager referred the Council's attention to page 1-A of the agenda booklet and
. pointed out there should be an amendment which would add under Vacancies "That the
a Chairman may resign or be remnved by a mojority vote of the Council". He aiso referred

\
Mayor Nee asked where in the ordinance,are the previous ordinances repealed? The
City hianager said at the top of the ordinance in the title. Councilman Breider noted
that this is the portion where the repeai is mentioned. Mayor Nee said the title
would not control the repeal. The City Attorney said if the Council wanted to do this
in a separate section, the wording of the title should be repeated in the ordinance.
He suggested using Section 217.01. He said this would be a repeal provision and the
language of the title would be repeated. He said the Chapters and Sections should
be listed as they are to be repealed and followed with the language "are hereby
repealed." �

any vacancies at the current meeting. He said the necessary material had been
provided to the Council. He said if it is not done at this time, it would have to
be delayed until June.
hlayor Nee questioned how far away the next meeting would be. He said he would like
to discuss the method of appointment with the Council at the conference meeting before
the appointments are made. The City Manager said there would not be a fourth Monday
conference meeting because the coming Monday is Memorial Day. Counci7woman Kukowski
questioned if the meeting could be held on the Tuesday following Memoridal Day. •The
City Manager said.the Council could meet anytime they desired.
Councilwoman Kukowski said the Administration would not have to prepare material
for the Council. She said she thought they had everything they needed.
Mayor Nee said he would also like to talk about the Mississippi River. Ne suggested

STATTON PROPERTY, THE SAME BEIN6 7240 CENTRAL AVENUE N.E.:
Mayor Nee asked if Mr. Thoe was present and there was no response. Mavor Nee
asked if the man had been notified that this would be considered by the Council
and the Public Works Director said he had been notified.
Y
The Public Works Director said there was some problems in the zoning of the
property. He mentioned that there is a service station and residential property
on the same parcel. He said the request is to split the residential property
from that that the service station is occupying. The Public Works Director
explained that this would create two parcels that did not meet the standards
for residential or commercial. He mentioned the residential portion would only
be 6,300 square feet. He also mentioned that if after the split, the house
would be damaged more than 50�, it could not be replaced. He said the commercial
property would also be far below the minimum. The Public Works Director said
the Planning Corr�nissiun had taket► this into consideration and had suggested
that some other legal means be provided to solve the existing problem.
Mr. Sobiech read the reasons for the Planning Commission recommending denial
of the request from Page 2-C of the agenda. The Public Works Director recorrmended
that this property remain one large commercial site.
Mayor Nee said the recorronendation of the Planning Commission was to deny the
request.
Councilman Starwait said he agreed with the Commission. He explained that he
had talked to the property awners involved and said the home is being used as a
retirement home. Councilman Starwalt said the split does not really clear up
the matter.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to deny the request for the 1ot split by Mr.
Clifford J. Thoe. Seconded by Councilman.Fitzpatrick.
Councilman Breider asked if there was any legal ways to get around this. The
City Attorney said he did not know what the problem was. He asked if one of the
individuals owns the gas station and the oiher residential property. He said
one 1ega1 means would be to lease or rent the portion of the property which is
residential. He said the property could be purchased as an entire parcel. The
City Attorney said there should be some method other than a lot split to accomplish
what they are working on.
Councilwoman Kukowski said she would not want to deny the request right at the
present time. She said she would rather have the problem worked with and have
someone come back and inform the Council what is gping on.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the request is denied, would it be another six
months before any further action could be taken on the lot split. The Public
Works Director said yes, this is true for variances and lot splits.
The City Attorney said if he would be any help in trying to work this out, he
wauld meet with the property owner and the Public Works Director to come to some
agreement. He added he would see if a contract could be entered into. He also
metioned that he did not think the lot split would be the answer.

CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION REGARDING VANDALISM IN CITY PARKS RND ON SCHOOL PROPERTY:
The City Manager said this resolution had been submitted by a request from the City
of Columbia Heights who had passed the resolution submitted to the Council in their
agenda. He said they are currently asking the City of Fridley to pass a similar
resolution which would request the juvenile judge as a part of punishment to assist
• the City Parks and Recreation Department to do some work to correct some damage.
He said it is their feeling that this will decrease the amount of damage done.
Gouncilman Bredier said he saw the purpose of the proposed ordinance. He said this
has been tri,ed in other communities and he had hear that it did work quite well.
He mentioned that if the judge would make the juvenile repair the damage, it make
the+n more aware of the extent of the damage done and decrease this vdnddlism.
Councilman Breider said he thought this.to be a good idea.
Councilwoman Kukowski said she thought this to be a good idea.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he had some reservations about this action. He said
he did not know what kind of supervision this action would take.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 19, 1975 PAGE 10
He questioned if this would be under the direction of the school officials or the
Parks and Recreation Director. .
Mayor Nee questioned if the park supervisor would have to carry a shotgun. Council-
man fitzpatrick repeated that he had some reservations about the requested action.
He said this kind of action has been available to the judges in the past.
Councilwoman Kukowski said maybe the judges need community support to take this type
of action. She mentioned that the adoption of the resolution would only urge the
judges to take this type of action.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said he could see why they were not doing this, they did
not have complete freedom of placing an offender under supervision in these area.
The City Attorney said in principle, he would have no abjections to the adoption
of the resolution. He said it is a reco��nendation to urge jud�es to take this type
of action. He did not believe the judges would be offended by this recommendation.
He commented that either they will think the recommendation is a good one and wi11
follow it, or.they will not. The Cit Attorney said he could see the point that
Councilman Fitzpatrick was making. He said if this would be done, the person would
be put on probation with the fine suspended and c•dered to comolete the work. He
mentioned that the juvenile office and probation people may monitor this type of
thing. He said being this was only a recbmmendation, he did not think it W�ould-
hurt anything and the judges would not be offended.
Mr. James Hill, Public Safety Director said he did not have anything to do with
the current matter, but he had heard that this is being done in other areas and that
it was a good system. He thougnt that this type of action would be directed at the
first time offender. t1e thought that it would make a great impact on the violatar
if he had to correct the damage done.. Ne said this wouid make them aware of the
damage and the work it takes to repair.
Councilwoman Kukowski asked if the City of Fridley had a juvenile officer in the
Police Department. Mr. Hill said no. He said the City does not operate with this
type of specialist. He explained that the current trend and theory would be to have
all of the officers capable of handling this type of situation with a more generalized
depertment. He felt it would be danerous to appoint one person to this type of area
b2cause the other officers would feel that they do not have to cater to the juveniles.
They may feel that the juvenile officer should handle these problems.
Councilrr�n Fitzpatrick said he had reservations. He felt that the people in the
City's and School's were not prepared to take care of the parolei.
Mayor Nee asked if the Park Department had been questioned on how they feel about
this rpoposal. The City Manager said that there had been support of the proposal
from the Public Works Department and the Parks Departmen.t. He said if the Council has
some reservations, it would be possible to double check in to the various concerns
and bring the matter back for a recommendation at a later meeting. .
The City Manager said this would only be a recommendation and the judges would excercise
their authority the way that they see fit. •
Mayor Nee asked if this should be directed through some community system. Councilman
Fitzpatrick said it may be directed to the Community School program.
Cauncilman Breider said he did not think the matter would cencern the hard core
affender. He thought they were taTking about someone in the park one day who does some
�� breakage. He said if this were a juvenile, this action would direct them to work in
the Parks for two to three weeks restoring damage donp by vandalism.
Mdyor Nee said if a body did some damage to a fence or bridge in Locke Park, would he
� be made to repair the damage. Councilman Breider said he did not feel that this was
directed to the point that he would have to repair that particular damage, he would work
to correct any damage done by other people.
Mayor Nee said he felt if there were reservations on the part of the Cauncil that
this. item should be brought back.

Councilman Fitzpatrick said he was not concerned about the hard core offender, he
was referring to the first time offender. He said the judges have the authori.ty
to excercise this type of punishment at the present time.
The City Manager said the resolution would only bring this to his attention. Mayor
Nee asked if the City was prepared to take care of this supervision. Councilman
Firtzpatrick said this would also include the schools.
Councilwoman Kukowski said the school receives thousands of dollars in damage and
there is an amount set aside in the budget to take care of this repair. She questioned
if this portion of the budget would be reduced by the adoption of this type of policy.
She said if the schools are asked, they'may want to go along with this type of policy.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said this would not reduce the budget for vandalism.
Mayor Nee said he did not feel very deeply one way or another on this proposal.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the resolution should be amended to include some type
of language such as the following: "The City will cooperate with such a program
provided the judges feel it would be of benefit ir, a particular case".
The City Attorney suggested that someone check with the juvenile court authoriti2s
and determine how they would feel about such a proposal and how it would be implemented.
He said this would be better done through the juvenile authorities and the City.
MOTION by Council Breider to table the cansideration for the resolution until the
first meeting in June, June 2nd to allow the administration to check with the
juvenile authorities and the schools for their thoughts on this proposal. Seconded
, by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimousl�Y . Counci:lman Starwalt felt that the schools should present a resolution
on their own behal}. -

Police Officer $880 6 mos to present
MOTION by Councilman Breider to concur in the appointment of David J. Keding as a
probationary Police Officer as recommended by the Administration. Seconded by
Councilman Starwalt for discussion purposes.
Councilwoman Kukowski mentioned that she did not understand the intent of the recorrenendation
form the Public Safety Director. She asked if there was a current opening.
Mr. Hill, Public Safety Oirector, addressed the CounciT and said there is an opening
budgeted which was created by the retiring Police Chief. He said this vacancy was
not filled because of a legal matter pending. Councilwoman Kukowski asked if anyone
would be laid off because of this action. Mr. Hill said no one would be laid off
unless this was done by separate action by the Council. •
Councilman Starwalt questioned the hiring of the Officer and asked if he would have
to be paid retroactive from September, 1974. Mr. Hill said this would have to be
done retrAactive back to September 30, 1974, because this was the decision of the
Department of Veterans Affairs.
� Councilman Fitzpatrick asked what the difference in the amount the employee was
making as a technician is and the amount of compensation he was to receive. The Public
Safety Director said this would be in the amount of $1,300.00. He said there would
also be some rebate from social security and the pension systems. He said the difference
' • in the two plans would have to be paid.
' Councilman Starwalt expressed the thought that it upsets him when a higher authority
makes a ruling that costs Lhe City money. Councilman Starwalt said he had no quarrel
with the person, but the City had gone to great lengths to accept him to the current
position, and this is why he was with the City at the current time.
'

� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 19, 1975 PAGE 12
�
Mr. Hill said the City had hired the applicant as a technician because he was a
veteran and coming out of service. �4r. Hill said this was a technicaJ point and the
applicant felt he was entitled to the job under the veterans preference laws. He
said he was not happy with the ruling, not because of the man, but he did not agree with
the law. He continued to say this was especially because the law has been repealed since
that time. .
Councilman Starwalt said he questioned paying a person for work not performed.
Councilman Starwalt said he felt the Office of Veterans Affairs did not understand
the matter. He asked what the City's position would be if the man was hired and not
paid the retroactive back pay. Mr. Hill commented that this would violate the
order without a formal appeal.
The City Attorney said the City's choices would be to comply or appeai.
The Public Safety Director said the City should have read him the entire law at
the time he was hired to the technician position.
Councilman Starwalt asked what the cast of an appe,l would be. The City Attorney
siad he would estimate this cost at from $1,000 tc 31,500. Mr. Nill stated that he
felt as Councilman Starwalt, but he questioned the appeal process in this case
because nothing would be ga�ned by it since the law has already been repealed. '
The Public Safety Director explained that the man is potentially a good police .
officer and this consideration should not be directed at his potential. He explained
to the Council, that he had excercised his rights and seek this action.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the law had been repealed, why was the City having
a problem. Mr. Hill explained that the law was in effect at the time of hiring and
had been repealed after this time. He said they would have to comply with the law
that was in effect at that time. Mr. Hill further pointed out that the applicant
feels that he did not waive his rights as a veteran.
Councilman Starwalt mentioned that the applicant did not meet the requirements
at the time he was hired as a technician: Mr. Hill said at that time, they were in
the process of setting up the team system and were looking for experienced officers
to balance the teams.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

COMMUNICATIONS:
TO CITY ATTORNEY FROM ATTORNEY GENERAL: SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS:
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the communication from the Attorney General,
addressed to the City Attorney dated May 12, 1975. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski.
Councilman Starwalt mentioned that Mr. Robert Erickson was present at the meeting
and questioned if he had knowledge of the content of the letter.
The City Attorney said it was his impression from the letter that the City would
have to act on the portion of the improvements not completed or release the pending
assessments. The City Attorney further commented that the Administration had not done
anything on this matter since the last time this had been discussed by the Council.
He mentioned the letter had been submitted to the Council so they would be aware of
the information.
Mayor Nee asked if the letter called for response. The City Attorney said he had
thought this would be for information purposes and no response would be necessary. He
mentioned that the City could not hold on to the pending fund for an unreasonable amount
of time. The City Attorney said the City has been requiring escrow monies from developers
within the City and there was no problem with this practice. He said this dealt with
a separate situation involving individual property owners. He mentioned that this
would relate to the residents in Mr. Erickson's area.
The City Attorney explained that when a property is sold in this area, the lending
company will require that the storm sewer escrow be deposited. He siad'this information
is obtained in the assessments searches and exists as a pending assessment. Ne said
this required excrow amount will range from 100ry to 150q of the pending assessment.
Mr. Erickson, 5950 Benjamin Street N.E., addressed the Council and indicated that
,

PAGE 15
the price paid for his house had reflected the amount that had been paid for the pending
assessments by the previous owner. He mentioned that he thought the system would be
constructed since the City had a plan and he had accepted this at the time td be no
problem. He said if the money would be released, it would go to the former owner of
the property and they would be out that much which had been included in the purchase
price with no im p rovement installed. Mr. Erickson said he felt it was the City's res-
ponsibility to carry out the plans that were on the books three to four years ago.,
7he City Manager said the former owner was claiming the escrow amount. He said this
agreement was between the two different individuals. Mr. Erickson said the money had
been escrowed with farmers and Mechanics Bank.
' Mayor Nee questioned if real plans had been drawn for this area and the City Manager
said yes. 7he City Manager stated that the City Council had stated that the area
was not ready for these assessments and the project was delayed. He said the cost
of the �mprovements is increasing every year and they would be from 45% to 55� more
' than they would have been two years previously. He said now they are facing the same
problems. He questioned if the City should retain the pending assessments or release
them. He said if they are not pending assessments, they should be released.
Mayor Nee referred to the communication in the a_.�nda from Assistant Attorney
General, Michael R. Gallagher, and noted that there is a statement in��the letter that
there are.no plans and specifications filed. The City Attorney said this is in-
correct in the ]etter.
Mayor Nee asked if it would be a material consideratian if there were plans and
specifications. The City t4anager said the burden is on the City and he had pointed
out this to the Council at the last two meetings. He questioned what would be done
and said the burden is on the City Council. ,
Mayor Nee asked if there are drawn plans and specs. The City Manager said the
City does have a proposal.� Mayor Nee asked if the City was going to build the proposal?
Councilman StarwaTt said the City had a public hearing with plans some time back.
He mentioned that then and now the majority of the peop7e do not want to be assessed.
Mayor Nee said they had been talking about three options for the types of improve-
ments and the letter says there are not adopted plans and specs. The City Manager
said there were plans and the figures for the plans were figured in 1970 or 197] and
the costs would not be the same today. He said the project would have to be reduced
or a public hearing would have to be called to advise the people how this would be
piped. The�City Manager said the Council could order the whole plan, but what would
be done about the assessments. The City Manager said certain assessments could
be levied, or the area could be left alone. He said the Council had had a public
hearing on the matter and the people did not want this level of improvement and denied
the improvement. .
Mayor Nee asked if the plan for the cul de sac had been a6�ndem?' The City Manager
said the Council had not taken action.
Mayor Nee said as it stands now, there are plans somewhere. Mayor Nee said the City
is acquiring land somewhere. The City Manager responded that the City has dedicated
street right of way. Mayor Nee questioned the ownership of the tax forfeit lots. He
again question if there was some plan or documentation that said the City was going
to do this? Mayor Nee asked if the Council had some direction from the Administration
on this? He asked if there was a plan for the street. He asked if there was a plan
with the drawing of the pipe line. He asked if there was a plan with some lots and
a cul de sac in the area.
The City Manager said the Council adopted the plat. Mayor Nee asked what plat. The
Public Works Director said this.was the plat in the area of Hill Drive. He said
there are four lots and a 30 foot roadway.
I Councilman Breider questioned if the case would be that the person platting the
' property had come to the City and been told that the easement may be needed for street
some time .in the future, so it was included in the plat. The Public Works Director
said yes.
I
'
� �
RE6ULAR COUNCIL MEETIN6 OF MAY 19, 1975 PAGE 16
Councilman Breider said this is only one half of a roadway easement and the Public
Works Director said yes. ' .
Mayor Nee said there is no plan that would relate to the area shovaing a pipeline.
The Public Works Director said no, there is no plan.
Mayor Nee asked if the City was pushing this development, or was someone else. �
Councilman Starwalt said he hoped the City was not pushing this plan. He said he had
been telling the people of the area that someone had come in years ago and the ease-
ment was dedicated.
Mayor Nee questioned if the Council could make a decision at this time saying
they would not approve a plat which would split the property? The City Manager said
the Council couid do this., but some other Council may.say something different.
Mayor Nee asked if the road is approved, would it extend all the way. The City
Manager said no, they were not saying there has to be a cul de sac. Mayor P1ee said
if the pipe is not laid all the way, the plan would not indicate the improvement and
• it would not be developed. Mayor Nee asked if the City had drawn the pipe in the plan
so.this area would develop. The City Manager res^�nded that three years ago tne
City had proposed a plan so that the property cou�d deve7op. He said a plan could
be drawn where all of the property would develop. Ne said the Council could say they
do not want to encouraqe the plan.
Councilman Breider said he believed the back lots have to be 30 feet deep. Ne �
questioned how anyone would be able to develop the hole.
Councilman Starwalt recalled that people had said this about "Peck's Woods" 20
years ago. Councilman Breider said some lots in Innsbruck Nor�h will never be
developed.
The City Manager said the Council would have to decide this.
Mayor Nee asked how this could be done. He again questioned if there was a plan.
He stated if there is a plan, it could be repealed. The City Manager said there is
a plan and the Council could eliminate the plan the Council adopted three years ago.
The City Attorney said when the City Manager said there was a plan, he meant that
the plans and specifications were ordered and it went out to bid. He said at that
time, the City Council only ordered part of the work. He said the Engineer filed
plans and specifications on the project and when this is ordered this becomes a
pending assessment. He said when the Council ordered the plan and the pending
assessments exist the City Council only ordered a portion of the improvement and said
they did not want to go ahead with this protion. He said the final plan should
be repealed and this would terminate the pending assessments.
Mayor Nee said the Administration is talking about a pipe plan and he was talking
about a development plan. He said he had asked and no one knows. He asked if this
portion of the development that exists is a small portion of land that someone
dedicated for a roadway. He said he was asking where is the pTan so the City can
lay pipe this way or another way. '
The City Attorney said he did not think there is a specific plan.
The City Manager said if the Mayor was looking for a plan he could show him one.
� • Mayor Nee asked if there is a plan. The City Manager said he could show him. He
�� said this would be the drainage plan, etc. He said if. the Council di� not want
to drain the area, they could leave the area as it is. He said the Council establishes
the level of service in the area.
� Mayor �ee said it appeared to him that the City has an internal plan to develop this
property. He said this is a plan of the City's own choice. Mayor Nee said he did not
want the City Manager to tell him about the plan, he wanted him to show him the plan.
Mr. Robert Erickson said the people of the area have no desire to split the property.
He said the man who owns Lots two and three is trying to buy lot one. He said the City
should sell the property to the area property owners and get out of the area and not
worry about development. He stated that the people of the area would like to buy the
property and get them back on the tax rolls.
�,...� Mayor Nee asked if the City owned tax forfeit property in this area. The City Manager
�
�
RE�ULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 19, 1975 PAGE 17
said all he is saying is the City should leave the pending assessments as they
are or eliminate them. He said once they are eliminated, the City would not be
, able to do anything in this area. He said they would have to call the people of
the area and determine the level of service.
� Mayor Nee said he felt this was changing the subject. He asked if there was a pian
� that would pick up drainage at some time in the future for the cul de sac. Ne
pointed out that area to be on the map where the "E" in Van Cleve. He said isn't this
what had been provided to the people? He said the plan was approved and escrow monies
' were collected on the proposed assessments. The City Manager said yes. Mayor
' Nee said the City Manager had said there will be five lots, and was saying that this
would not happen. He also referred to the�other plan proposed which would go down
the boulevard and said this would cost $20,000.
The City Manager said if the Council feels that they want to do this, who would
be assessed? He asked how many people would benefit?
Mr. Robert Erickson said all of the lots are in the drainage district and they are
all listed for pending assessments.
Mayor Nee said this is a different development. He said they could assess those
in the area of the "I" in "Addition". He continued to site several examples.
The City Manager said the Council could approve those benefiting. Ne said the Council
can determine what area will benefit. He said the Counci] would still have to call
in the people, they could not just talk to the three to four �eople that they had talked
to the past weeks. He said the pending assessments could be eliminated. He said if
the Council wanted something to take care of the drainage problem, the Administration
could provide six plans. He said if• so directed, they would do it.
Councilman Breider said he�did not understand the agreement on Mr. Erickson's home.
He said questioned the right to collect the assessments of they are not put in.
The City Attorney said he did not want to get into the private contract. He said
the City is not holding the money, it is being held by the Mortage Company. Ne again
stated, he would not want to get into whether the former or present owner is entitled
to the escrowed money. He questioned if this would have happened if the contract would
have been researched by the buyer. Mr. Erickson reponded that the normal terms of
home buying agreements is that the seller will pay all of the pending assessments. He
said he was under the impress�on that the City was to go ahead with the plan. He said
if the plan�would be abandoned, the former owner will get the money back.
The City Attorney referred to the question on the obligation on the part of the
City. He explained that up until the time after the public hearing, the City would
be able to determine what would be included in an impro�ement.
Councilman Breider said Mr. Erickson was at the meetings asking the City to do some-
thing. He said the people of the area do not want the expensive piping of the
drainage, they are happy with the way that it is.
Mayor Nee said the people are happy dumping their water on Mr. Erickson's property.
Councilman Breider said Mr. Erickson is not happy with this. Councilman Breider said
Mr. Erickson is not happy with this. Councilman Breider said he was not prepared
to vote•for thousands of dollars of pipe with the objections of everyone but Mr. Erickson.
Councilman Breider said if they were referring to the mortgage company, they would giving
the money back to the former owner. Councilman Breider said Mr. Erickson is pursuring
�� a law suit and the damage suit: would be considerably more than the escrow money.
Councilman Starwalt said he would like to receive the letter from the Attorney
General's office and table any aetion the consideration of the matter until the
Council receives the report from the Administration.
The City Attorney said he did not think this would accomplish much. He said if there
had not been plans and specifications there would not be pending assessments in the
first place. He said it would be possible to write to Mr. Gallagher on the mistated
facts. He said if the City has plans and specifications, what are they going to do
with them. Ne said if anything would be done, this would have to be the plan adopted
before. �
' REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 19, 1975 PAGE 18
The City Attorney said if anything else is done, they would have to start over.
Councilman Breider recalled they had been talking a.bout a plan. He said he did not
recall this plan. He said they had also talked about an agreement to collect escrow.
He asked what had been approved.
The City Manager said this was picking up the water and putting it into the existing
system on 60th and Oakwood Manor. Ne said this is a plan the City Council had �
approved and then agreed not to do the work. He said if the plan is used, it would
cost the people more than the amount escrowed and the assessments would be at a
higher level. He said he would recommend that the Council hold a hearing.
Councilman Breider asked if this was a preliminary plan or a final plan. The City
Manager said this would be a final plan, this is why there are pending assessments.
He said no matter what is done, the City Council would have to have a public hearing
to determine what level of system to prepare for the neighborhood.
Mr. Erickson said the last f}Y? people that had purchased property in the area had
escrowed money for this improvement. He said this would cover at 1east 30% of the
cost and it is in escrow at the present time.
Mr. Ericksori said all of the people would not wai.� to be assessed, but he sited
the law that public drainage could not be directed to �rivate land. He questioned
if the area people's objections would be valid when their water is draining onto
private land. He said the City Council has some obligation to take care of this.
Councilman Starwalt said he did not feel that this was going to be solved at the
current meeting. He said he felt the possiblity of escrowing money for some future
development to be a good suggestion. He said if the City is in jeopardy in this
practice, he would like to find out ab�ut it. Councilman Starwalt said he felt
that the majority of the people were not in favor of it. Councilman Starwalt said
he did not oppose the pending assessment process.
Mayor �ee asked Councilman Starwalt if he thought the area might develop. Councilman
Starwalt said from what he had seen in the last 15 years, he thought that it might.
Mr. Erickson said what the Council was expecting him to do was to put up with the
situation with the water until or if this "might" come up. He questioned if anyone
should have to put up with this on someone's hunch for the future.
Councilman Starwalt stated t�r. Erickson had bought the property. Mr. Erickson
commented that he had bought the property with the assumption that the City would be
putting in the storm sewer since there was a pending assessment. Councilman fitzpatrick
said Mr. Erickson had paid for this assessment in the purchase price of his home.
The City Attorney advised Mr. Erickson that the assessments become pending after the
public hearing, but this does not mean the plan is going to be implemented.
Councilman Starwalt interpreted this as the City can keep the situation as it is,
if it would like to.
Mr. Erickson said if the City had gone ahead with his proposal at the time he proposed
it, it would have cost $10,000. He said at that time, the City said there had to
be another plan because of the development that would be coming into the area. Ne
said the City had said that more of the property owners would plan on developing their
property. He questioned who plans to do this.
� �� The City Manager said there are no pending assessments, this is escrow and this is
\ different. He said this is the only area where there were pending assessments and
the City had decided to not do the project. The City Manager said the City had only
talked to three to four people concerning the imorovement. He said there should be
some re-study on the question and the people should be called in. He commented that
� he had yet to see the majority of the people vote in favor of a storm sewer, it is
always on the people on the bottom of the hill, the people at the top say that they paid
more money for the higher property. He said he wouid strongly urge the Council to call
the people in for a public hearing. The City Ftanager asked if the Council would vote
: on receivi'ng the communication. He also mentioned that there should be some action
• concerning PM1r. Erickson's praperty. He suggested calling the people in and giving
different levels of sewer proposals. .

7he City Attorney questioned, other than what type of system. He said there is no
question that the City is damaging Mr. Erickson's property by collecting and �dis-
charging storm drainage onto his property. He said this could be taken care of without
taking care of the long term storm sewer solution. He said he did not think there
was any question that the City has the right to discharge water into other areas
because this is doing undue damage to his property. He said the last time the Council
had dicussed this matter. They had suggested a short term solution to the problem
until the City is ready to assess the people for the complete improvement.
Councilman Starwalt said the City is going to receive a recommendation from the staff.
' � He said he thought the berming on Gardena would help considerably. He said they had
�ot received the plans and cost figures for. this proposal. Counciiman Starwalt
said he had seen the letter and knew that the City Attorney had to answer it. The
City Attorney said he did not have to answer the letter.
' Mayor Nee said if the Council does not order the improvement, the escrow money would
have to be released. The City Attorney said the letter did not say when the money had
to be released.

two weeks to a month. He said they will be sellina merchandise also. He said he had
pointed out to the applicarat that ifi this was to be on a permanent bas�s that they

CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS IN TOWING CONTRACT WITH SHORTY'S TOWING:
The City Manager called on the Public Safety Director to explain the proposal. The
City Attorney said the Publie Safety Director had prepared the amendment in his
absence. •
The City Attorney explained that Shorty's Towing has had the City's Towing contract
and this contract indicates he may have one wrecker at his residence "during normal
business hours". He said there was a complaint by one neighbor who claimed he was
carrying on business in his home which would be in violation of the zoning code. He
informed the Council that the Contractor was found guilty of. this. The City Attorney
said he met with the Public. Safety Director and the City's Prosecuting Attorney and
hoped to develop a compromise so he could serve the City stay within reasonab]e bounds
in regard to the complaint from the neighbor.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 19, 1975
PAGE 20
He said the contract is proposed to be changed to allow one wrecker of a small size
and also the words, "normal business haurs" would be deleted. He said this would
allow a on2 ton pick up with a hoist on the back. He said if there was only one
parked at the residence, this would not have any great significance. He said the
contract should be amended in this regard.
Mayor Nee asked if the zoning would allow this. The City Attorney said this woul'd
not change the zoning requirements. He said they had explained to the contractor
that if they had a large number of vehicles coming in and out of the property, they
might receive another complaint and might be found guilty to this. He said with the
amendment in the contract, one truck would be permited to park on the residential
property. He mentioned that this would not be a violation of the code of operations
from ones home. The City Attorney mentioned that the vehicles to serve the City in
an emergency.
Mayor Nee quoted a portion of the proposed contract and said, "its says the contractor
is exempt from the City Ordinance". He asked if this would be possible.
The City Attorney said he did not have a copy of the proposed amendment. He said
ma.ybe this wording should be taken out of the ce�tract.
The Public Safety Director addressed the Council and ind xated that the quoted language
was a part of the current contract. He said the only change made was to allow the man
to use one vehicle to come home and go back to his business. He said he may get called
out in the middle of the night and not come out to work until later in the day.
Mayor Nee said this portion of the contract should be deleted, the City could not
exempt one person from the ordinances.
The City Attorney said he would like to give the Council a little background. He
said he did not think the•City would have any control over the man driving his vehicle
back and forth and parking it in the driveway. He said a mumber of people in the City
do this. He said this language was proposed to advise the contractor that a limited
number would have to be complied with. He said this would be the difference of what
could be done under the contract and what would be allowed under the ordinances. He
said this proposal would allow him to park one small vehicle for any hour, not only
during the normal business hours. He said this decision was not because there was
a violation of the ordinance, but because it was in violation of the City's contract
with the Towing Firm.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked why the contractor could not park there as long as
everyone else does. The City Attorney said the area residents would not want three
30 ton diesels parked there. He said the court was concerned that he may be operating
his business from his home.
Mayor Nee asked how the court arrived at this. The City Attorney explained that
they had been parking many vehicles at many times of the day. He said the number of
vehicles and the coming and going during the day was the basis of the complaint.
Mayor Nee questioned if the other employees of the firm also park the vehicles in
their driveways. The City Attorney said this is done all over the community. He
mentioned one that is 60 feet long is parking by his home.
A representative of the contractor addressed the Gouncil and explained that the
firm irt on probation from the Court and if the truck would remain there late in the
morning, they may have to go back and pay a$600 fine. The City Attorney said the
� City should have the vehicle available for emergency service. Mayor Nee said the
` City Attorne,y's opinion is that if this contract was to be amended, this would protect
the contractor from prosecution. The City Attorney said if the owner of the area home
fees he should not be prosecuted. He said if the contract is complied with and only
. one small vehicle is parked at the residence, he felt there would not be a complaint.
Mayor Nee questioned if the City's Prosecuting Attorney had prosecuted this case.
The City Attorney said yes, he prosecu�es all claims.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said this was not a violation of the ordinances, it was
a violation of the contract. The City Attorney said yes. He said he had thought
that the case was brought in with the assumption that it was a violation of the ordinances.

Statement of William Nee
RE: Frontier C7ub Rezon9ng
s
Members of �he Council:
I would like to place the following statement into the officiai minutes
of the procee�ir�gs associated with the proposed rezoning of the land
presently occupied by ihe Frontier Club.
Since the argument is rather lengthy, I am circulating it now to you,
and to others who have indicated a direct interest in the subject, in
the hope that you would then enter it into the minutes without my
having to r�ad it in at the meeting. This would save time, and at
the same time give proponents an opportunity to consider a rebuttal
if they feel a rebuttal is calied for.
We have before us an ordinance to amend one of our most basic ardi-
nances, our comprehensive land use plan for ihe deveiopment of the
City of Frzdley. This Master Plan has been the basis for most of the
investment that has been made in Fridiey in the past 2Q years. ihat
amounts to hundreds of millions of doTlars of investment by bath
private citizens and public (governmental} agencies.
The security of much of this investment reiies in part on the City
Council's prudent and responsible enforcement of that Master Pian for
land use and development. As we have seen in a few instances, irres-
ponsible changes can have far-reaching consequences. (A.revision
which favored one or two property owners in the Hyde Park area, for
instance, had serious adverse consequences and caused economic loss
to many�others.)
The present situation is not at all unusual, of course. All City
Cpuncils (including Fridley Councils) are often presented with questions
similar to the one you face tonight. Namely, the petition for a change
in the Master Plan by a land owner who believes he could earn a higher
profit from his land if the zoning couid be changed to a higher ciassi-
fication.
_ ' ,�,
'
'
Members of the Council -2- � July 7, 1975
1 � .
By and large, Fridley City CounciTs have responded to such requests
' in a responsible way. By giving careful consideration to each
petitioner's request, but at tne same time giving rp ime consideration
to the public interest and to the �interests of the many other indivi-
' dual investors who have made their investments based on the security
provided by a sound, well-enforced land use and development plan.
' In other words, as responsible members of this Council, we must
always consider any proposal, any petition to change our land use
Master Plan, but because so man people, homeowners, citizens and
' investors have relied on the continuing integrity of the Master Plan
for the �ecurity af their investment, we shouid approach any considera-
tion of a change very cautiously. �
'
u
�
1
�
'
When I speak of the integrit� of the plan, I refer to the fact that
the various land use classifications and allocations were made for
good reason, and that their function is interrelated. .When you change
a previousiy specified land use, you are in fact changing the rules
of the game for others who may have �nvested on the assumption that
future developmeni would occur in accordance with the City's published
Master Plan.
I am not saying that our City Master Pian is perfect, or that it
cannot or should not be changed when it isn't functioning properly,
but I do say that a change for�the conveni.ence of an individual
property owner is not sufficient.justification. Change of the Plan
should grow out of the up blic interest and be cansistent with the
broad outlines of the Master P1an. We shouid be absolutely sure,
based on substanti:al evidence,�ihat a change is in the public's interest,
and an obvious i�n�rov�ment to the Plan, before we change it. -
So, how do these general comments apply to the present proposal?
' I have carefuily read the minutes of the Planning Commiss�on's hearing
on the subject. And I listened carefully to the presentation made for
the applicant at the Council'-s own public hearing on June 9, 1975.
' At no time in either of these hearinqs was a case made, or even
attempted, that this rezoning would be �n the publ�c interest.
' I underscore that because it goes directly to your responsiblity as
a public official of this City. At no time was a case made that grant-
ing this rezoning petition would be in the public interest.
, �
J
' e � .
'
,
' Members of the Council -3- July 7, 1975
'
' I submit to you that this is the first and most important test you
must apply to the question. I believe that this fact alone requires
you to vote against the proposed change in our Master Plan.

L�
But beyond that, let me go on to indicate why I believe it is actually
inconsistent with the Master Plan and therefore not in the public
interest.
First of all, in all my years as a member of this Council, I have
never seen a more fTagrant example of spot rezoning. The petition is
not to replan an area. It is to rezone only one lot, a total of 15i
feet fronting on Central Avenue. It clearly does not take into consid-
eration the functioning of the neighborhood or .the impact on any other
nearby land. ,
For illustration, contrast this process with the process we are using
in other parts of the City where rezoning may be considered at some
time in the future. As you know, tne Planning Commission and the City
Council have identified several areas in the City--6 areas as I recall--
where we are experiencing functional prablems with the Master Plan.
This may be due to unanticipated change, problems assoc�.�.ted wi.th
platting prior to the adaption of the plan or simple planning errors.
In any event, these areas have been designated as project study areas,
and over the years we wili be daing a great deal of work (which may or
may not involve rezoning) to make these particular areas functian better
to serve the people.
But note this important point. There isn't arry LEAP TO REZOiVE in these
study areas. If rezoning daes occur, it wili be integrated into the
total plan, it will grow out of functional consideration, and it will
be based on strong documentation and evidence that it will serve�the
public interest.
Contrast this approach we have been using with the present process in
which the petitioner asks for the rezoning of a 151 foot lot without
any showing that it would make the area more functional in terms of
our Master Plan.
The only case being made is, "I want it:"
This is, simply, SPOT REZONING. It is a violation of the First Co�nand-
ment in the Community Development bible. And, it is somethin that at
least one other member of this Council (in addition to myself� has taken
a strong F�ublic position against.

July 7, 1975
the change would be
is. Then let me show
integrity of the Master
The land in question was zoned C=1S--NEIGHBORHOOD SHOPPING--for one
simple an+� correct reason. Because a neighborhood shopping area was
considere�� basic to the proper functioning of the area. Because it
was determined that this large and growing neighborhood was effect-
ively isolated from the rest of the community and that it therefare
needed neighborhood reta�l services. �
All you n�ed to do is look at the map to understand just how profoundly
isolated this neighborhood is. Why the res�dents so often refer io
thei.r neighborhood as Fridley's Forgotten Corner, and why they need
neighborh�od retail services.
You can see that everyone in the neighborhood can reach this local
shopping area on foot, or sa#ely by bike. By actual measurement it
is .4 mile from the c.enter of the neighborhood. The next nearest
gr.ocery is 12 miles south to "Lemms" or l4 mile west tothe PDQ. So
if this area fai]s to provi�e 7oca1 shopping services, the people of
this neighborhood will not have access to shopping services without
using a car.
The entire neighborhood has a clear and pressing need for loca7
shopping services. They were promised this neighborhood support by
the City i-n our Master Pian, and in fact, neighborhood services were
provided in this very building before it was converted to its present
use.
If you agree with this need, 1et me point out that the only way to
�et local shopping services developed for them is to stringently
maintain the integrity of the zoning. You must continue to say that
this land is set aside for those investors who will build to serve
the needs of this neighborhood.
If you.do not hold fast to that concept--if you do rezone to regional
uses--then the land wili become too expensive for neighborhood service
businesses.
So the basic issue is whether or not you want to keep faith with the
people who have built their homes, invested their personal savings
in this neighborhood, based in part on our promise that they will
eventually have neighborhood shopping services available (a promise
conveyed in our Master Plan).
' '
Members of' the Council ,5- July 7, i975
' . .
, The petitioner asks that you consider his investment, even thaugh it
was made in clear conflict with the provisions of our Master Plan.
' By all means, consider his investment. But, in addition, you must
aiso consider the investments of hundreds of families in the neigh-
borhood who have invested much more, and who are entitled to both
the protections and benefits of the Master Plan--with whieh they
' have complied.
' Those families need, and are entitled to, the neighborhood retaii
services described in our Master Plan, and which, incidently, had
been provided previously in this very same building.
' You can :.ay that there is other C-1 land available in the same area
to serve the neighborhood if there is economic justification: I
think the clear answer to that is that once there is a break in
' the dike, there is no place to stop. We will be flooded with
petitions to rezone the balance of the area to so-ca]led "higher
uses", and if there isn't grounds to insist that a property which
' had been used in neighborhood retail service remain in that classi-
fication, there will be no grounds to hold that buildings as yet
not built must serve that function.
' If-you do rezone this small parcel you wi11 be under continual
pressure tQ rezone the ent�re area for more profitabie expioitation,
' and will thereby ass9gn the entire area to uses other than neigh-�
borhood service. It would be an act which underscores the validity
of the charge that that is, indeed, Fridley's Forgotten Corner.
Finally, ]et me comment on the issue raised by the applicant that by
prior usage by the City, their proposa7 is historically consistent.
� It is true, of course, that years ago before the adoption af our
Master Plan the City of Fridley did operate a small liquor facility
as one of several retail shops in this building. But there is an
' important difference. It was a small, neighborhood facility. At
no time did the C�ty operate on.a scale comparable to that proposed
by the petitioner. -
' Our bottle store was so sma11 that if five customers were in it, i-t
was crowded. The on-sale, when we had it, wasn't much larger.
' Contrast this with the applicant's testimony that he is now
operating on such a scale that he has spent up to $7,000 a night
for entertainment and that this would be his policy for the future.
'
'
'
� '
'
- Members oi' the Council
�
July 7, 1975
'
So to citE� the City's early neighborhood operation as a grandfather
, rationale for the present large scale operation which pulls from all
over the 'fwin City area--this boggies the mind and trains all reason.
' But beyorn� that, the argument by the petitioner misses the essential
point of ��rhat the City of Fridley did. The City of Fridley determined
that it w,as not an appropriate use and REMOVED their liquor operation.
' We did not go out of the liquor business. We simply moved ail of our
operations to more appropriate locations.
' Admittedl.y, the building owner was still entitled to grandfather
protections to the extent of beer and set-ups, and the City did
not try to stop that use, but to argue that this admits the City
' sanctioned the use is not consistent with the facts. The City clearly
did not consider liquor,an appropriate use at that site and closed it
� out.
'
'
Now the applicant argues that our early use--before the adoption of
our Maste�r Plan--is evidence that the C-1S zoning was a mistake and
that this area was never intended to be committed to neighborhood
services. The evidence is clearly to the contrary.
If the ar•gument is that somebody made a mistake which needs to be
, rectified, it seems more likely t�at the present awner, who invested
$100,000 in a property without checking the uses permitted by the
zoning, rn� have been the mistake.
'
�
'
�
�
�
�
��
But it was not a mistake by the C-ity of Fridley, and I do not believe
this Council is justified in bailing out this investor at the expense
of planrn�d services for the ather property owners in the neighborhood.
I believ�e it is incumbent on this Council to continue to give a
clear indication of your intention to have this iand used by investors
who will provide neighborhood retail services by voting NO on the
moiion to permit its use for regional purposes.

REQUIREt9ENT FOR A$200 DEPOSIT FOR CARNIIIALS AND BEER LICENSE
JUNE 26:, 1975 �
I am enclosing her�eiwth a copy of Section 28 of the City Code relating
to licensing of carnivals. This section of the code does require tnat
carnivals be licerSed and that a$200 bond be posted.
I do not believe that the ardinance contemplated the type of activity
which will be held on Saturday, August 16, 1975 for Muscular Dystrophy.
The ardinance was written, I presume, to cover the regular carnivals
where rides are given, mercl�an�ise .is dispensed, etc. There is quite
a cleanup problem after suci� a carni val . Ai though the Muscul ar Dystrophy
night is called a��arnival, it does not appear to be a carnival in the
usual sense of the wortl. I would imagine the people living on the street
would have a speci;�l interest in seeing that all debris is cleaned up:
The Council may no�t want to require the �200 deposit in this instance.
Section 602.12 of i;he City Code provides that a non profit organizatian
may be granted an off-sale beer license, without a fee for a period of
up to 72 hours duration.

+' A NATURE CENT�R AT NORTH PARK —
. ;�gq.
,.
, INTItODUCTION
'North Park is a 124 acre city-owned site in Fridley (Anvlca County), Minnesota.
The park was purchased by the City in 1971 at the cost of $ 275,000. Of this
',am�unt, $ 173,250 was awarded the city for the purchase under the Minnesota
� Natural Resource and I�AWCON Grant administration. The City's share was $ 1�01,750.
�
�
�
The park features slightly altered to natural vegetation common to lowland marsh,
prairie'grassland, oak. savanna, and oak for.est ecosystems at this latitude (45 N.).
Wildlife abounds due to the variety of vegetative cover and rich productivity
resulting from a mixture of lieavy forest soils and alluvial sands. Three streams
bring flowing waters into the area, Chimokaman and Makwa Creeks from the north
and Spring Brook from the east. The flowage of all triree is captured in an
impoundment maintained. by an active beaver colony. The overflow drains to the
southk�est corner of the park and, ultimately, to the Mississippi River, about a •
mile to the west.
Bounded by Anolca Co. R.d. 132 on the north, Main.Street NE on the east, the R.O.W.
!� for 83rd Ave. NE .on the South, and the Burlington Northern tracks on the west;
the area is legalZy de.scribed as:

OBJECTIVES
In the.fall of 1974 North Park was designated a'^Jature Center" By the Fridley
City Council. The pxoperty was subsequently leased ta the Springbrook Nature
Center Foundation for development in cooperation with the City. The object of
this report is to prov�ide a preliminary documentation for that development.
It is suggested tha� t:he final development stages will include a"Visitor Center"
facility adequate to :erve the program�-ning goals (to be discussed Iater) and
house a full time Director, one or more naturalists, a receptionist/secretary,
and a�maintenance per�,on. The structure will be disussed in detail in a later
section. Other improv�ements should include satellite rest room facilities, a
parking lot, perimeteY• fencing, foot trails with bridges, board walks, wildlife
abservation blinds, arid nature interpretation signs.
_' ., � , .
Page 2
_.. $ �
SATELLITE REST ROOMS
A"year round" building with both men's and women's rest rooms should be con-
structed near the sou��heast property corner near converging foot trails for
use necessitated by e:ctended "special project" hikes and field trips. A rustic
building with dimensi��ns of approximately 12' x 24' with electric heating could
be built for approxim;�tely $4,025.* The southea.st corner location would allow
sanitary sewer and wa�ter connection to hlain Street. 100 feet of sewer and
water pipe completely installed and connected would cost approximately $2,010.
PARKING LOT
Since the projected p:rogramming of the Nature Center would suggest intense use
of the £acility, it i:> recommended that an asphalt or concrete parking lot be
constructed with curb:ing, drainage, and markings to meet city codes for com-
mercial lots. An aspllalt lot with curb and gutters and a capaci�y of 40 cars
with SO feet of driveiaay would cost approximately $10,350 completed. A
similar lot of concre�te would cost at least twice as much as the asphalt one.
PERIMETER FENCING
A perimeter fence is ;ilmost a necessity to control access and direct uses to '
improved trails, and �to protect sensitive or fragile vegetation. Greatest
security would be obtained with a six foot high chain link fence with inter-
mittant.sections 3 fe��t high to allow white-tailed deer to enter or leave the
area. Such a fence w��uld cost between $5.50 and $11.50 per foot installed depending
upon post, rail, and :Eabric specifications. Gates would add additional costs.
iVith the average spec:� ($8.50/foot) it would cost $82,450 to fence North
Park's 9,000 feet of ;?erimeter. A 42" chain link fence at $4:50/foot:instdlled
would cost about $43,�550. .
On the other hand, a�three rail split ceda'r fence would cost about $1.55/foot
for materials or $2.�0��/foot insta]led. Mater.ials for the 9,700 feet �vould
cost only $15,035. T;'1e fence could be installed for another $4,365 or with
volunteered labor. T:ne split cedar.rail fence would require no anticipated
maintenance for about 10 years (minor thereafter) and would offer a less
forbidding appearance than the chain link fence. The rail fence would, how-
ever, be more easily vandalized though repair and xeplacement costs would be
minimal. It is expected that vandalism would be of minor proportions at the
Nature Centex. �
FOOT TRAILS
� Approximately 15,000 feet of "foot trails" are presently in use at North Park.
It is suggested that :most of the existing pathways be utilized and improved -
since years of traffic (foot, horse, and motorcycle) have resulted in highly
compacted soils excellent for trail base but almost impossible to revegatate.
� Some new trail should be added, however, and some old phased out of use. Of
the 15,000 feet of trail, about 10,000 feet should be improved with a surface
of crushed limestone of 3/4" sieve size. This rock packs well and produces
'll � an extremely durable surface for foot traffic. To cover 10,000 feet of t�ail
4 feet wide and 2 inches deep, would require about 250 yards of rock, or about
�

m
S00 tons. At $2.90/ton, the total materials would cost about $1,438. Widening
the trails and spreading and packing the rock would cost about $5,000.
In addition, about S,OOO feet of trail should be surfaced with wood chips. Often
branch chips are obtainable free of charge. If not available, uniform sized chips
.are available for $5.75/ton. 5,000 feet of trail 4 feet wide and 4" thick would
require 250 yards of chips, or about 50 tons totaling $288. Labor for cleaning
the trail and spreading and packing the chips should cos�t about $.SO/foot resulting
in a cost of $2,500 far installing the chip trails.
At least five foot bridges will Ue needed for�the trail system at lowland or
stream crossing. These bridges can be constructed from telephone poles and
treated 2" lumber at a cost of $250 each.
BOARDWALK
600 feet of boardwalk should be used so that foot �:.rails may cross lowland bog
areas (extremely interesting for nature intexpretation). Another 100 feet of
boardwalk (supported or floating) will be needed to reach two large wildlife
observation blinds near the beaver pond. The material cost of the supported
boardwalk 4 feet wide and constructed of treated 2" and 4" lumber and redwood
will be approximately $6.00/foot. The total cost of materials for the 700
feet of boardwalk should be about $4,200. Cost of assembZy should be $1,050.
OBSERVATION BLINDS •
At least two sheltered wildlife observation blinds should be constructed at a
total cost of $1,200.
SIGNS
At least one rustic styled sign (similar to those used by the Minnesota Depart-
ment of Natural Resources) should be used to identify the Nature Center.
Approximately 20 smaller signs (one every S00 feet) should be located along the
fence to further identify the boundaries. '
Approximately SO nature interpretation signs should be Iocated along the trails.
Aiaterials for the signs should cost about $300. It is difficult to estimate
the time needed for research in order to define all the areas where signs are
needed, but canstruction of the sma2ler signs themse�ves should cost about $12
a piece (routing, assembly, staining, and painting). The total labor cost
resulting would be $600.

RECEIVE BOARD OF APPEALS SUBCOMMITTEE MINUTES: MAY 27, 1975
�
MOTION b� Drigans, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning Commission
receive the minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcommittee meeting of May 27, 1975:
Mr. Drigans said that on page 14 of the Planning Commission agenda, and
page 2 of the Board of Appeals minutes, the 6oard had made a motian that the
Council make a determina�ion if the "office-warehouse" under question constituted �
a proper use of C-1S zoning. He hadn't heard any answer on this motion. He said
that they wanted to know the difference between a warehouse and a storage facility.
He said that the developer would be leasing office space, and this "storage" space
would be available to any tenant who would need it. Mr. Drigans said that he felt
that conceiveably the devel.oper could rent out office space to one tenant and'warehouse
space to another tenant, which wouldn't be an ailowed use in C-1S zoning.
� Mr. Clark said it may be hard to�keep jurisdiction over this, but it definitely
, .would be permitted that if say a plumtnr rented office space, and he could use the
storage space for his equ�pment, such as a truck and stock. There were a lot of
trades that would be allowed in this zoning. He said it had been made quite clear
,� to the developer that he could only rent storage space to someone who had already
rented office space.
�,.
�� Mr. Drigans said he thought this could be difficu1t to control as the developer
could sell that building and a new owner may not follow this policy.
Mr. Ctark said the code was quite clear in this area, and what the developer
intends to do was an allowed use in this zoning. Mr. Drigans said he still thought
this should be in an M-1 District rather than a C-2 District. Mr. Clark said then
the code would have to be changed. He said that even if this was hard to administer,
but he felt that if a tradesman was going to rent office s.pace, he would rather see
' � � �. ' .. .

inside storage than have equipment stored in the yard someplace.
Mr. Drigans said this was labeled as an office-warehouse combination and
that was what the Soard of Appeals iook exception to. Mr. Clark said it should
have� said office-storage combination, because this was what it was going to be.
Mr. Lindblad said he didn't feel this would be any harder to control than
any other type of building. We never have any absolute guarantee�that every bui�ding
will be occupied exactly as the City Code allo�vs.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMP�ISSIQN MINUTES: JUNE 10, 1975

the minutes of the Environmental Quality Commission meeting of June 10, 1975. Upon

, - RECEIVE BOARD OF A�PEALS SUBCOMMITTEE MINUTES: JUNE 10, 1975
MOTION by Driqans, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning Commission 'r'eceive
' the minutes of the Board of Appeals Subcomrnittee meeting of June 10, 1975. Upon a
voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. .
1. . PUQLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #75-06, BY C. E. GILBERT:
To allow the operation of an outdoor flea market, per rridley City Code, Section
205.151, 3, N, to be located on Lot 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, Auditor's Subdivision No.
153, the same being 52a7-5289 Central Avenue N.E. (Skywood Mall)
Mr. Gilbert was not present.
MOT�ON by Lindblad, seconded by Lindblad; that the Planning Commission open
the Public Hearing on the request for a Special Use Permit, SP #75-06, by C. E. Gilbert.
Upon a voice vote, a�1 voting aye, Chairman Harris declared the Public Hearing open
at 8:12 P.M. • . .
Mr. Clark said that to clarify the location he pointed out where Twin City
Federal, Ground Round, Menards and the Speedy Car Wash were located which were
all in the vicinity of Skywaod Ma11 on Central Avenue. He said it was his understand-
ing that.the flea market would be located somewhere South of the building known as
the Skywood Shopping Center and North of the Speedy Car Wash operation, in an open
area that was not blacktopped. Mr. Clark said that if the City were to allow this
type of operation out in the open,; it should be very, very careful and scrutinize the
aperation to make s�ure it would not cause traffic problems, and that the litter was
picked up. He thought it would be hard to administer, and it would be difficult to
see that the area was always cleaned up. He said he thought it was a Council decision
on whether they wanted to have this type of operation in the City of Fridley.
Mr. Clark said that even if this use was allowed, they would want to delay it
until the City had gotten an agreement from Mr. Mortenson on the beautification program
the City was starting, because there were problems in this area that have to be
sorted out with the property owner. They would like better maintenanceand there were
some.erosion problems in the area and the blacktopped area needed some work. '

Planning Commission Meeting - June 25 1975 Page 3 9�
Mr. Drigans said that before he was ready to make any decision on this, he
would like the petitioner to be present, and as long as he wasn't here, he was
prepared to make a motion to continue this request. Mr. Harris said they had some
business to �ake care of before this motion could be made.
Mr. Gordon Bluhm, 1160 Regis Trail, said he was a resident of Fridley, and
also Assistant Secretary for the Twin City Federal branch in Fridley, located at
5205 Central Avenue, although he did work in the downtown office. He said Mr. Don
Borrel was also in attendence, and he was Assistant Vice President of this Fridley
branch also.
Mr. Bluhm said it was their opinion that this operation would be detrimental
, to the'Twin City Federal properiy. He sai�d he knew this was a prejudicial viewpoint,
� based on other flea market operations in other communities.
�
�
.'
Mr. Bluhm said he had stopped on his way home on the day of this meeting and
had taken pictures of the area in question, to show how it looked at the present
time. He said he would not want to see this property deteriorate any furth�r..
Mr. Harris asked if this operat�on .had been inside the Skywood $hopping Center
before this request was made._ Mr. Clark said it was his understanding that it had
been, on a weekly basis. He said Mr. Gilbert wanted to move this outside so the
flea market could be larger.
Mr. Bluhm presented a letter from Twin City Federal Savings and Loan Association.
UPON A MOTION by Drigan�, seconded b� Lindblad, that the Planning Commission
rece�ve the Zetter from Twin City Federal Savings and Loan Association, dated June
25, 1975, from Mr. B1uhm, and a voice vote, a11 voting a�e, Chairman Harris summarized
the Ietter for the audience. .
�r. Narris said the letter was written to let ihe Planning Commission know they
were not in favor of this request for a flea market in this area of Fridley. The
letter states the reasons for this objection.
, - .
. ,
Mr. Lindblad asked if other merchants who operate businesses in the Skywood
Shopping Center were notified of thls request? Mr. Clark said that only property
owners were notified, but Sheldon Mortensan had signed the request, and it would be
up�to him to determine if his other tenants would agree to an open f.iea market in this
area. � . .
Mr. Bluhm said he had been to outside flea markets in the Los Angeles area,
located in industrial neighborhoods. He said they are really an attraction. He
said that in the Minneapolis Sunday paper, it was mentioned that the indoor flea
market at Apache Plaza draws between 25,000 to 35,000 cars on the•week-end. He said
he couldn't see any problem with an indoor flea market, but an outdoor flea market
would be something else. Ne didn't think this would benefit Fridley at all, and he
would strongly urge the Planning Commission to deny this request.
Mr. Langenfeld said he appreciated Mr. Bluhm's statements, but he thought the
petitioner had every right to state his case also. Ne said that even though we do
not know the exact details, he was sure that the Planning Commission would run into
some of the problems that were specifically mentioned that had to be considered in
granting a Special Use Permit, and they were traffic problems, noise, light glare at
�night, and probably indiscriminate adve�rtising. :

Chairman Harris said that as no one had any other comments to make on this
request, it would be in order to close �he Public Hearing, and determine if they
were for or against this request, or to table the item.
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission continue
the Public Hearing on the request for a special use permit, SP �75-06, by C. E.
Gilbert, until Ju1y 9, 1975. Upon a ro11 ca11 vote, Drigans and Peterson voting a�e,
and Lindblad and Harris voting nay, the h10TION FAILED.
Mr. Drigans said that perhaps the petitioner didn't realize that he should
appear for this meeting. Mr. Clark said he had been sent an.agenda for this meeting.
MOTION BY LINDBLAD, that the Planning Commission close the Public Hearing on
the request for a special use permit, SP �75-06, by C. E. Gilbert. THE MOTION DIED
for lack of a second.
Mr. Peterson said that Mr. Gilbert did pay the fee for a Special Use Per�it
and as we do not know the reason he was not in attendence at this meeting, �it would
be common courtesy to continue this request until the wishes of the petitior:��r were
known. ' �
�OTION b� Driqans, seconded by Petersan, asking fr�r reconsideration of t1:e
motion to continue the Public Hearing until Ju1y 9, Z975. The vote remained the
same, so the MOTION FAILED.
Mr. Lindblad said he knew it was the polic y to continue any request where
the petitioner did not appear, but he felt this was creating a hardship for the
interested parties who did attend the meeting to ask them_to come to another meeting
of the Planning Commission.
Mr. Clark said he would excuse himself and try to contact the petitioner to
' see why he was not here, When he returned to the meeting, he said the petitioner

2. CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION REQUEST: SAV #75-04, BY LEQNARD BENSON: Vacate
the 12 foot alley in Block 4, Spring Brook Park Addition, located between Ashton
Avenue and the railroad tracks, so the existing gardens and fences would not
have to be.removed from this alley.
Mr. Leonard Benson was present.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Benson what type of fence was in the alley easement.
Mr. Benson said he had a chain link fence, and he a�so had a garden. Mr. Benson
said there was another fence that was kitty-corner from his fence that extended
into the alley also. He said one other neighbor had had a fence in the alley ease-
ment, but he has already moved his fence back.
. Mr.
fence was

vacated.
Drigans asked Mr. Benson if he had a survey of his property at the time the
put in. Mr. Benson said that he did. Mr. Drigans asked him why he put
in the alley then. Mr. Benson said he thought.the alley had already been

'
Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Benson if he had received any complaints on this fence
from the neighbors? Mr. Benson said he had no�.
Mr. Benson said he had a petition from the neighbors who were in favor of this
request.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning Commission receive
the petition in favor of vacation request, SAV #75-05, by Leonard Benson, (Petition
15=1975) which was siqned by eight property owners in Block 4, Spring Brook Park
Addition. Upon a voice vote, aZ1 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr., Harris said there was a petition in their agenda that was against the
vacating of this alley.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Lindblad, that the PZanning Commission receive
the petition against the vacation request, SAV �75-05, by Leonard Benson, (�'eti�ion
16-1975) which was signed by seven property owners in B1ock 4, Spring Brook_Park
Addition. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,, the motion•carried unanimously.
�' Mr. Benson said that if this alley was.n't vacated, we could have traffic
on this alley and snov�mobiles could use it also. He said they have had a problem
of small thievery in the neighborhood, and if this area was open, he thought this
sort of thing would be encouraged. This was why he wanted this area fenced, and
, keep the traffic on the streei. He said ihat all the garages face the street so
. no one needed the alley to get into their garage.
'�, Mrs. Cyril Paulson, 131 79th Way N.E., said that they couldn't get into their
back yard if this alley was vacated without taking their front yard fence down. She
said there were other people on Longfellow that couidn't get their recreational
' vehicles into their back yard without this alley, because there wasn't enough room
between the houses, and these vehicles can't be��left on the street.
� � Mr. Stephen Pogreba, 190 Longfellow Street, and Mr. �ames Roberts, 121 79th
' Way N.E. said they had signed both petitions. They had signed the petition against
the alley vacation first, and then had changed their minds, and were both in favor
of the alley vacation now. Chairman Harris asked them if they wanted their names
' remaved from the petition against the vacation and they said they did. That left
. five names of property owners on the petition No. 16-1675 against the vacation.
�_J
.'
Mr. Clark said that if this alley was vacated, the City would have to retain
a utility and drainage easement on the 12 feet. .
Mrs. Judy Welch, 144 Longfellow Street N.E., said she had circulated the petition
against the alley vacation (petition 16-1975), but it was not their intention to ever
ask that this alley be improved. She said they wanted it left as it was,.just grass
and an open area. She said that they owned a recreational vehicle and they would not
be able to get this into the back yard if the alley ��as vacated, and this vehicle
couldn't be parked in the street either. .
� Mr. Benson said he had talked to neighbors in Block 4, and two people who have
recreational vehicles could get to their property in the rear yard even if the alley
was vacated. There would only be one who had signed thepetition against the yacation
who would not be able to get their recreational vehicle into the back yard if tine
alley was vacated, wl�o wouldn't have an alternate access to his rear yard.
� Mr. Langenfeld said that Mr.�Qenson had�stated that he had received no complaints
June 25, 1975 Page 6 9 E
Plannin� Commission Meeting - — -
from the neighbors on his fence, but tonight we are hearing some. How did this come
to the attention of the City? Was it a complaint? ,
Mr. Clark said they do not have the staff to go out an check infr�i�ngements.into
alley easements, and only do so when there was a complaint. He said the Engineering
Department had received the complaint, so he was not involved in it. �
Chairman Harris said the Planning CommnssennAvenueeNortha Ch�c go e whonstated
request. One was from Richard Rush, 3619 Ja
that he was in opposition to the vacation request, and he owns Lots 11 and 12, alock
4,'Spring 6rook Park, and a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Pett, 176 Longfellow Street,
who state that they have signed the pe�tition against the vacation, but were unable
to attend this meeting and they need the alley easement so they can get a 21 foot
recreational vehicle into their back yard.
MOTION BI' Drigans, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission receive
the Ietters from Richard Rush and Mr. & Mrs. Eugene Pett in opposition to the
vacation r�quest, SAV #75-04, by Leonard Bensnn. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye,
the motion carried unanimously.
. Mr. Drigans said this_would make 6 p.roperty owners in oppos3:tion to the
vacation request and 8 in favor o� the r.equest..�There were_17.proper.ty owners in
ttie block.
Mr. Benson said that if this alley easemeasswin thedeasementeational vehicles
and.pick-up campers, it would cut up all the gr
' Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Clark that if the alley went in, wouldn't the
adjacent property owners have to pay for that. Mr. Clark said they would.
Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Clark if there were any restrictions on this alley
which was neither vacated nor improved. Ne said that it seemed everyone in this
alley had sodded this area, and could �omeone come in there with a heavy vehicTe
and tear it all�up, and just leave it in that conditian? He asked if there were
no.regulations governing this? It would seem to him that in this particular instance,
the people in this area want to.have their cake and eat it too. He said that if he
were a property owner in this area, and someone drove on this unimproved alley that
he had sodded, and tore it all up, he wouldn t appreciate it. He said the use that
�people want to make of this alley almost der�ands an improved alley.
Mr.. Clark said that the City doesn't maintain unimproved alleys, and if it
was being maintained, it was by indiVidual property owners. He said that if someone
tore up this portion of maintained alley easement so the property owner couldn't cut
it, he didn't know what would happen; as we have had not had a situation like this
b e f o r. e. H e s a i d t� h a t a p p a r e n t l y t h e a l l e y has been used this way, and he didn't
know if this had caused a problem or not. i�1r. Roberts, 121 79th• Way, said he ha d
lived their three years and he had never seen any traffic on this alley. He said
that Northern States Power Company doesn't even drive on this alley easement. They �
work from the street. - . - `
Mrs. Paulson said that Northern States Power Company had used this alley about
15 years ago, but that was when there was very little development in this area.
� Mr. Clark,said they usually didn't have such a division on whether an alley
should be vacated or not. He said that about 15 years ago, in Ply�nouth Addition,
there was division, and the Council vacated half of_the alley, and left the other

half open, but there were people using the alley for access to their garages, in
this particular instance. '
� Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr: Benson if he knew he was violating the City Code
when.he extended this fence in�o the alley easement. Mr. Qenson said .he thought
the alley had already been vacated because alleys in the blocks around them were
vacated. Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Qenson if he installed this fence himself. Mr. Benson
• said that he had.
Mr. Langenfeld asked if anyone in the audience had changed their opinion
during the discussion. There was no response.
Mr. Drigans said there was enough opposition to vacating this alley so that
he didn't feel they could recommend approval of this request. He said it would take
time to reconstruct the fences, so he thaught the people with fences and gardens in
this easement should be given a time period to comply to the Code. Mr. Drigans asE;ed
how many gardens were involved. Mr. Benson said that there were two. Mr. Drigans
said he thought m��st of the gardens should just about be through by September 15th.
Chairman asked Bor Schroer who was in the audience, if this was correct. Mr. Schroer
said everything should be done by October lst,�anyway, in the gardens.
�Mrs. Paulson, 131 79th Way N.E., said that Mr. Benson had one of the most
beautiful gardens she had every seen, and although she vras against the alley being
vacated, she said it would be a shame to make him tear out this garden until after
the•growing season. Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Benson what kind of garden he had. Mr.
Benson indicated that it was a large vegetable garden and he had intended using the
fence to grow cucumbers on. Mrs. Paulson said she was sure that every neighbor would
feel that Mr. Benson should be allowed to let his garden grow until the end of the
season. . �
. MOTION by Drigans, seconded b� Peterson, that the Planning Commission recornmend
' to�Council denial of the vacation request, SAV #75=04, by Leonard Benson, to vacate
the 12 foot a11ey in Block 4, Spring Brook Park Addition, Zocated between Ashton
Avenue and the railroad tracks, because of the opposition of six adjacent property �
' owners, but that the property o�ners who have fences and gardens in this a11e� easement
be given until September I5, 1975 to relocated their fences and remove the gardens.

Chairman Harri�s explained to the petitioner that this item had been tabled
to give him a chance to be heard. �� �
Mr. Gilbert said he had been holding an indoor flea market for three years. He
said this usally closed up by the end o�f May. He said it was the policy of a flea
market to set up outside, in the summer time, so he approached Mr. Mortenson with this
request, and Mr. Mortenson said he had no objection. .
, Mr. Langenfeld asked Mr. Gilbert is he would explain the nature of a flea market.
Mr. Gilbert said that the people who set up booths or tables are called dealer,s.
They pay a$3.00 fee to set up in the market. They sell antiques, items from estate
' • , _. .
' Planning Commission Meeting - June 25, 1975 Page 8 _ g�
� sales and garage sales, or items they have bought wholesale. After the sale they
t pack up and clean up. He said they usual�y opened up at 7:30 A.M. and closed at
4:00 P.M.
�
'
Mr. Drigans asked if they needed a license to sell in a flea market? Mr.
Gilbert said they just needed it for sales tax.
Mr. Drigans how many dealers were at these sales. Mr. Gilbert said they
usually had 52 dealers inside, but outside they would have 60 or more dealers.
Mr. Drigans asked about the turnover of dealers. Mr. Gilbert said some of
them were regulars and some only came once, of just a few times.
Mr: Drigans asked how Mr. Mortenson made a profit on this. Mr. Gilbert said
� he got a percentage of the fee charged each dealer. Mr. Drigans said it wasn't a
. percentage of the sales then. Mr. Gilbert said no.
Mr. Clark asked how often the flea market would be open. Mr. Gilbert said
it would be once a week, on Saturday. .
Mr. Langenfeld asked how they advertized the flea market. Mr. Gilbert said
�i they used flyers, the Minneapolis papers.and the Sun. He said that after business
was built up, they usually didn`t have to advertise.
�
�
�
'
�
Mr. Drigans said that as this was a commercial business he wondered if there
were adequate facilities. Mr. Gilbert said they had a key to the Mall so they
could use the restroom facilities there. Mr. Clark said that OSHA requirements
say the facili�y has to be within Z00 feet, so he thought.this would be adequate.
� Mr. Bluhm said he thought Mr. Gilbert was a very reputable man and an honest
man. What he has described would be like a giant garage sale. He wondered if the
property owner of the Skywood Shopping Center had the right to rent to a tenant that
could adversely affect other tenants in the area. Mr. Clark said that Mr. Mortenson,
�he owner of this property, had signed the request, and he would have thought that
h� would liave considered his other tenants before he agreed to this use. He said
that he agreed that the tenants have a vested interest in this. Mr. Lindblad said
that was why he felt that all the tenants should have been notified.
Mr. Bluhm said that only the owners of property were notified, and�that
Menards and Lee Wards were not notified. Mr. Clark said he didn'.t know who Mr.
Mortenson had discussed this with, but he thought-he should have discussed it with
the other tenants, if he didn't. �
� Mr. Bluhm said he felt that Menard's had greatly improved this area, and also
�� the Ground Round had done extensive remodeling. He said that he has watched the
Skywaod Mall area very closely because of the location of the Twin City Federal
'branch in this area. He said he was very sorry that Mr. Mortenson wasn't at this
� meeting, because he would tell him to his face that the Skywood Mall lacks a lot as
far as maintenance. It should be improved, and kept improved. He said the reason
he had taken the pictures on the way to this meeting was to show the weeds.that are
� allowed to grow on this property. He said he just couldn't see this type of owner
getting further priviledges of freedom, especially as there was a zoning ordinance
that precludes it.
.�
Mr. Lindblad said that the condition of Skywood Mall has always been a problem,

Planning Corrmission Meeting - June 25, 1975 pa4e 9 9 N
and Mr. Mortenson had always skirted fixing and maintaining this area. -He said he
didn't think this area benefited Fridley at the present time because nothing had
been kept up, and all Fridley got were broken promises.
Mr. Bluhm said there was a protective covenant that had been drawn up for
the property that was occupied�by Twin City Federal, and he thought th�is flea market
operation would be in_violation of the covenant, and turn-about should be fa7r play.
Mr. Borrell said that Twin City Federal had spent a lot of money on their property
trying to upgrade the property, and if this operation was allowed in this are a, it
would have all been for nothing. He said that Twin City Federal was open from 9 to
12 on Saturday morning, and this operation would really be detrimental to their business.
, Mr. Drigans said that�if the recommendation was to deny the outdoor flea
market, this wouldn't stop the indoor flea market as this was not objectionable.
MOTION BY Drigans, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission close

was fine, but that an outdoor. flea market would be difficult to control, especially
� as far as traffic and crowd problems. He said he t houg h t t here were be t t e r s i t e s

Block 1, Clark's Addition, the same being 6517 McKinley Street N.E.
Mr. Kok was not present.
Mr._Clark said the previous owner of this property built a detaGhed garage
in 1961 before we required a verification survey, and he encroached about three
feet into the easement. There was never any trouble with this because there aren't
any utilities in this. easement. '
�� Mr. Clark said that he advised the petitioner than in ordew to make his property
more saleable, he should get this problem settled by having the ericroachment allowed
�or vacating the easement. He said there was a siz foot easement on this property and
' a 6 foot easement on the lot South of this property. A field inspection verified that
there were no utilities on this easement, and the utility companies have been notified.
As yet there has been no response from them, either pro or con.

��
Mr. Clark said that because the petitioner wasn't present and we haven't had

�
Mr. Michael McFarland was present.
Mr. McFarland said that this was an undeveloped alley that was heavily
wooded. It was just a collector of dead leaves and was very unsightly. He said
it had been used as a depository ror junk, and it was completely impassable. He
said he was new to the area, and he wanted to clarify his lot lines, and as he
lived on the corner of East River Road, he wo�t'd like the privacy of a fence, and
it would keep people from cuttinq through his y�'.rct. If the Planning Commission
wasn't agreeable to �;he entire alley being vacated, he would still like the alley
adjacent to his property vacated. .

request. .
� Mr. Harris asked about the peop]e who were across the alley from Mr. McFarland's
. property. . .
� Mr. Langenfeld said he lived across the alley, and he wanted the alley vacated
..also. He said this alley �•fas used as a junk yard, and he wanted to eliminate that
� problem. He said most of the people in this block have maintained the property that

to fence the alley easement, if it was vacated.

Mildred King,�71 63 1/2 Way N,E., said she was in favor of the vac�tiQn:�request.
Mr. Lavern Darnbusch, 40 64th Way N.E. said he was favor af the vacation request
also. � �
Mr. Clark said that if the Planning Commission was going to recommend approval
of this request, they should stipulate that a drainage and utility easement be reiained
in the vacated alley. He said the petitioner and Mr. Langenfeld were right when they
said this alley easement had been a catch-a11. He said it �vould be impossible for
the City to ev�r improve this alley, because they couldn't cut down the trees.

Mr. Richard Janke and Mr. Virgil Mullins were present.
� Mr. Janke said his mother ovrned the property at 201 Rice Creek Terrace N.E.
and when they built a patio and retaining wall, along with the fence, there vras an
error made as to the actual property line. He said that rather than most the fence
' and other improvements to this property, the owner of Lot 11, Mr. Virgil Mullins,
191 Rice Creek Terrace N.E., has agreed to sell the property to his mother.

Mr. Arthur Seger was not present. '
Mr. Harris said it looked like the lots would be quite large. � Mr. Clark�said
they would be. He said the present lot has enough area and street frontage to make
two building sites. �
Mr. Clark said there really should be a survey made of the property as soon as
possible. There was some question as to the rear yard requirement for the existing
house. According to the rough drawing, the house would be 26 fee� from the new side
lot line of the property being split off, and the rear yard requirements was 25% of
the lot depth, which would make this 30 feet. He said that this would create no
problem because of the size of the property. The lot size of the property being split
off could be reduced to 90 feet and would still meet the lot area requirements. Mr.
Narris said that it could be reduced just by the 4 feet, and the lot would be 100' x
100'. Mr. Clark said the property South of these lots belonged to School District #13.

East 200 feet of Lot 2, Block 2, East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition, to create
a building site, the same being 7810 University Avenue N:E.
Mr. Robert Schroer was present.
Mr. Glark presented a drawing that had been submitted by Mr. Schroer in
1972, and said that on the basis of this drawing, we have previously granted lot
splits for both Capp Homes and the Town Crier. The third parcel, which,v�ras this
request, was for the Datsun Dealership.. It does not disrupt the pattern thay may
.become evident at some future date, but it does cut off thestreet access to the
Western portion of Lot 3, East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition. He said Lots 2 and 4
were L shaped lot splits, so they still.have access. He said he had talked to
Dave Harris, who has an interest'in this also, and he told Mr. Narris that the
staff would probably recommend approval of the lot split, but we definitely ��rould
want an easement to the rear portion of tot 3 for street access. Mr. Narris indicated
to Mr. Clark that he would be willing to grant this easement at this time, and that
the City should drawn up the agreement, and he would sign it. Mr. Clark said that
this would satisfy the access to tiot 3. � •
Mr. Clark.said that both parcels�meet the zoning requirements for C-2 Zoning.
Mr. Clark said that.he �vas not saying that the road would go in as it was shown on
the dra�vning, but we do have to protect street access for Lot 3, and insi:st on a
right of way. ' .
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning Commission recommend
� to Council approval of the request for'a Lot Sp1it, L.S. #75-04, by Robert Schroer,
to split off the North 126.1 feet of the East 200 feet of Lot 3, B1ock 2, and the South
173.99 feet of the East 200 feet of Lot 2, Block 2, East Ranch Estates 2nd Additian,
� to create a building site, the same being 7810 University Avenue N.E.; with the
stipulation than an agreement be signed to provide an easement for street right of
way�on the West 30 feet of the Easterly 230 feet of Lots 3 and 4, together with the "
�. Southerly 33 feet of the East 200 feet of Lot 4, 81ock 2, East Ranch Estates 2nd
Addition. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion.carried unanimously.

8. QUILDING PERMITS --
Paco, Inc. �
Industrial Building - 7847 Elm Street N.E. -Staff Report -Attachment A
Mr. Clark explained that with the reorganization of the Planning Commission
this item will always appear on the agenda, with an administrative staff report,
but after this, it will always be the first item on the agenda.
Mr. Clark said that all building permits will be reviewed by the Planning
Commission and the City Council. We feel that no action is necessary by either
body unless they wish to make some comment about them. He said an administrative
staff report would be submitted with all building permits, and they 4�ere working
on a form that would be a check list to see how such conS�ruction would affect
the environment, for example, whether it affects it adversely.or betters it.
9L
Mr. Clark said that this particular building, in this block, will complete
the construction along Elrn Street between 77th and 78th. This addition, along with
ano�her structure, meets all the zoning requirements as far as setbacks and parking
ratios and the use of the property. The architectural design was similar t^ the
balance of the buildings in this area. The middle building front will be spiit'biock
masonry. The other one will be brick, the same as the next building South, up to
two or three courses of the top, and then it'wi17 be split face rock, for the balance.
It was very similar in nature to the rest of the structures in the block. .
The staff feeis that this was a good addition to the area, and�it meets all
the codes and does not affect the environment adversely.
Mr. Clark said there was a set of plans, if the Planning Commission wanted
to look at them. He said there were 80 feet between this structure and the next
one South, and Mr. Pashke ��ras discussing with the owner of-the other structure, the
possibility of putting in the parking lot now, rather than sodding it and having to
tear up the sod later for the parking lot. This �vas a parking lot that they have
been planning for, for some time. It doesn't have to happen, because the parking
meets the code requirements, and there apparently were no parking problems, but we do
have an open building which may need more parking, depending upon the occupancy.
Mr. Lindblad asked to see ihe over-all plan of the Onaway area.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Paschke when he was coming in for variance. Mr. Pashke
� said this building did not require any varianee. Mr. Drigans commended Paco, Inc.,
for coming up with a plan that didn`t require a variance.
� Mr. Clark said there would have been a variance, but with both buildings being
' built at the same time, under one ownership, and with the firewal�, it meets the
.�zoning requirements for a 0 lot line.
�
�
�
.
,
Mr. Clark said the Planning Commission did not have to make�a recommendation
unless they felt that this did not meet the policies, which you haven't established
yet, then that would be what you would comment upon.
Mr. Lindblad asked if all building permits for commercial and industrial
construction will come to the Planning Commission now. Mr. Clark said they would,
and the staff report will state if there are any problems or not. If ihere are
problems, the Planning Commission will direct the application for a building permit
to the proper Coirnnissison. If it was a variance, that would go to the Appeals
Commission right away, before it comes to the Planning Commission. He said this
� � �
Planning Commission Meeting - June 25, 1975 Page 14
procedure was sort of in limbo now, until, the Planning Commission sets up its policies,
and goals and objectives. �
Chairman Harris asked the other members of the Planning Commission if it was the
conce.nsus of opinion that they.agreed with the staff recommendation. The other
members stated their agreement. �
STATEMENT OF APPRECI�TION:
Chairman Harris said that the reorganization of the Planning Commission would
result in new members on the Planniny Commission, and he wanted to thank the present
members for their cooperation and indulgence.
ADJOURNMEN7: .
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Lindblad, that the meet�ng be adjourned.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting a�e, Chairman Harris declared the Planning Commision
meet�ng ot June 25, 1974 adjou�ned at 10:35 P.M.

This office represents Mr. and Mrs. Leonard
Benser, Mr. and Mrs. James Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Floer, and
Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Breiland, all ot whom own property on Block 4,
Spring Park Addition.
Our clients have reviewed the minutes of the June 25, 1975 meeting
of the Planning Commission, which, in an informal public hearing,
considered the above matter, and our clients note several inadequacies
in those minutes. .
On behalf of the above named citizen, we respectfully request that
the Planning Commission be directed to amend said minutes to reflect
the following:
1} That Mr. James R. Roberts, 121-79th Way N.E,
. told the Commission that the opening of the alley
in question would be a hazard to children in that
it would be difficult for parents to watch for both
front yard traffic and back yard traffic.
2) That Mr. Leonard Benser, 154 Longfellow N.E.
told the Commission that the opening of said
alley to vehicular traffic, would
a. markedly increase neighborhood noise
' because of back yard snowmobile and
motor cycle noise.
' b. Necessitate the establishment of a
CuI de Sac because of the narrown�ss
of the right of way.
II
m
!City of Fridley July 7, 1975 page two
c. Increase taxes because of the need to finance alley
improvements by special assessment.
:It is our position that the above described additions must be made
in order that said minute accurately reflect the full scope of
•testimony received by the Commission at its June 25, 1975 meeting.

SUBJECT: Illegal llumping in Ilorth Innsbruck
DATE: July 3, 1975 �
Attached please find a report from Steve Olson,
Environmental Officer, regarding dumping activities in
North In�isbruck. After an investigation to determine the
vacant properties which were filled with debris, a meeting
was held with several property owners of the area. Dis-
cussions resulted in a course of action agreed upon by all
parties as noted in the memo. Nine items were suggested
which would allow elimination of the problem.
It is recommended that the City Council receive f.he
report.at the regular meeting of July 7, 1975 and concur
with the items outlined. Of particular importance would be
concurrance and direction by the Council to aZlow the staff

ILLEGAL DUMPING IN NORTH INNSBRUCK AREA
Due to complaints about illegal dumping in the North Innsbruck
area of Fridley, a member of the city staff, Steve Olson, met
with representatives of the North Innsbruck Homeowners Association,
Ron Rumpsa, Ken Bureau, Bob Olson, and Mike McDonough. A map
(attached) was presented indicating areas that were felt to be
in violation.. Also presented was a list of owners (attached)
of the properties in question. The foZlowing was agreed upon
as a suitable course of action:
1. All individuals would be responsible for cleaning.
all refuse from their own property. In instances
where refuse may have originated from adjoining
properties, it will be up to the involved parties
to determine Xesponsibility. When a property is
in violation, the following would be conditions
for bringing it into compliance.
a)
b)
Remove all tree wastes, discarded
lumber and any construction waste
and dispose of same at an approved
sanitary landfill.
Piles of dirt, concrete and/or asphalt
must b� leveled and covered with suit-
able fill (dirt and rock) .
2. Letters will be mailed to all builders currently
constructing in this area. Said letters will advise
against dumping anything but dirt or rock fill for
Iand reclamation and advise that a11 constructior, wastes
must be.removed and disposed of at a sanitary landfill
immediately upon completion (if not sooner) of construction
. and prior to occupancy of the dwelling unit.
3. Any new building permits will have words to that effect
typed directly upon said permit. '
4. The city will install a sign at the north and south end
of Matterhorn Drive, on Arthur Street and on North
Innsbruck Drive, where these streets enter into the
Innsbruck area. Said signs will expressly prohibit
any illegal dumping of refuse under penalty of fine.

City Manager

Fridley, Minnesota 55432
Dear Mr. Qureshi :
At this time I wish to commend two of your employees,
Mrs. Barbara Rido�t and Mrs. Florence tngelbrecht, for
assistance in the LOGIS effort above the normal high
degree of cooperation usually experienced.
On June 23 we set uo the City's volunteer fire�ighters
on a speci'al payrol_1 cycle. Normally th�s is a reiatively
smooth process, but due to computer �roblems at Henne�in
County we had �o ask for additional computer time to
complete the effort.
With short notice, both Mrs. Ridout and Mrs. Engelbrecht
volunteered to wro rk avertime as long as necessary to get
the payroll out. This was not the first time they have
provided this additional effort.
Dedication such as ttiis is an asset to the �OGIS orogram
and certainly to the City of Fridley. ,
Please extend my appreciation and thanks.
Sincerely,
� A �

Fridley City Council
Fridley, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
In light of the Council's F�bruary recommendation to Govenor Wendell
Anderson that he designate tre Alississippi River corridor a critical
area with guidelines and standards for land.use, we wish to draw
your attention to the first physical need of such. a project, - a st��.�le
river bank.
The shoreline from Ricicard Road nortYt to the mouth of the creek near
Stonybrook has moved east approxi.mately twenty feet during the Iast
ten years. Strollers and fishermen have caorn paths near the water`s
edge, but each has become impassable due to the crumbling i�ank, neces-
sitating the wearing of another higher and then another, etc. ^the
manner in which the bank errodes, the bottom first creating a false
shelf and.then the crumbling of the sod, constitutes a hazard for
youths and even adults. In addit�on, the erosion has destroyed many
big trees.
The cause and cure we leave to experts. We draw your attention only
to the fact.
