He said the original approval did not include items numbered, 12, 13, 14 and current
wording of stip��lation number 8 regarding the entrance. He commented that originally
the eighth stipulation indicated there would be no entrance at all on East River
Road. The Public Works Director continued to explain,that Meridan had indicated they
would not develop the area without an access on East River Road and on July 21, 1975,
the City Council revised the eighth stipulation to al1oN� ingress and not egress from
East River Road. He said at that time the Council indicated conceptual approval of the
proposal and Meridan was to work out the problems to only allow ingress. The Public
Works Director informed the Council that the Staff has been working with Meridan and
has come up with a proposal which is before the City Council. He said there had been
a change in the eighth stipulation and the addition bv the Council of the 12th, 13th
and 14th stipulations. Mr. Sobiech explained �he 12th stipulatiori io be that no
building permit will be issued until the petitioner has applied for a change in zoning
from C-2S to C-1 with no contest on zoning change in the future. fie further explained
that the easernents for the deceleratior l�ne will be dedicated as noted on the map
on page 6-Q of the agenda. He also mentioned the applicant will construct the
deceleration lane accoi°ding to iiie specifications of the Adininistration and the County.
The Public WorkS Director said P1r. Nordale vaas pr�s�nt at the meeting to answer any
of the Council's questioris. The F'ublic Works Director said t4eridan said by letter that
they are in agreement to the stipulations suggested contingent upon City Council approval

Councilman Starwalt questioned the former stipulation concerning the performance
bond for the black top. Mr. Valinskis said he had planned on blacktopping the area
before moving the business in• �'C• Valinskis continued to comment that thc� had no
qualms about rosting the �1,50U bond. The City�Attorney suggested there be some
clarification concerning the installation of the improvements at this time. Mr.
Vilinskis said he would lik� some leaway on s*;pulation number eigh* concerning the
installation of the screening fence..He explained this would involve a greai deal
of cost initially. Councilman Starwalt asked what kind of delay in time he was
talking about. Mr. Vilinskis said he would like this extended to Ap�°il 1, 1975.
Councilman Starwa]t asked if the 14th stipulation would_be complied with at the
present time or the perforinance bond be furnished.
The City Manaaer expressed concern about the delay in the installation of the
screening fer}�e a�d explained that thepeople of the area were ve�°y concerned about
this. The City ���anager said he would prefer that the black top be delayed and the fence
be installed right away. He said many people in trailers adjacent to the property
would shcv+immediate concern about this and he suggested that the fence be installed
right away with the stipulations indicating this. Mr. Vilinskis said he was not
opposed to the installation of the ience right away, but if this was the case; he
would like to delay the installation of the blacktop until spring. The City Manager
said he thought this a�ould be reasonable with the performance bond being provided at
the present time.
A que�tion was raised abo«t sc.eeninq fence being installed on the entire portion
of the property. Councilman Starvaalt said the screening requiremeqt was intitially
included because the original request was for the use of the pr•operty as a used
car facility and the people of the ar.ea objected to this very strongly. Councilman
Breider mentioned that the fencing requirement could not be in force for the entire
parcel since the additior.al property had noi; been approved for ihe issuance of the
Special Use Permit. He added the Council could only require the fencing on the 329
feet of original property. .
Mr. Vilinskis said if the Special Use Permit is not apProved for the additional
property, he would not-bu;� the prcperty. He said the original area is not large
enough for this type of'operation. There would not be enough area to store the mobile
homes. Mr. Vilir•skis asked if th2 Council could give some indication on the result
of the outcome of the requesi; for the additional-special use permit. Councilman
Breider said it was presumptuous on his part to make any claims at the present i;ime.
He comnented that he did not ti;ink any membes• of the City Council would give a concrete
answer at this time. Councilman Stanvalt questioned if the matter should be tabled
until the other special use permit is reviewed by the Council. The Public Works
Director said the transfer of the special use permil: could be dane at this time with
the approval of the stipulations as suggested through the discussion.
t40TI0N by Councilman Starwalt to approve the transfer of the Special Use Permit
for the 329 feet with the applicant making a request for the special use permit on
the additional portion of property in the proposal and that the original 13 stipulations
from the Planning Co�ission cons�deration of September 25, 197q be enforced with the
following�amend��ents: rr7 The pub�ie and employee parking lot will be blacktopped
by April 1, 1976, �8 Provide screening fence alon9 the north property line immediztely.
Precast curb wi11 be put along the entrance and along the parking area, and with the
addi.tion of the 14th stipulation as follows: #14 That a performance bond in the .
amount of $1,500 be provided for the blacktopping and landscaping.-'`Seconded by
Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the
motion carried unanin,ously.
Councilman Breider suggested that if the operation would take this long to become .
operational that the petitiorier hold off until sprirg. Counci�man Starwalt said the
key to the development of the property would be the installation of the screening
fence for the propety owners to the north. The City Manager said since the Council
�had taken action of the transfer, the applicant could beyin operation at the present
time if he wished and if he complies with the stipulations. _

CONSIDERATION OF INSTRUCTIONS FO.R CIRCULATING INITIATIVE, REFERENDUP4 AND RECALL
PETITIONS:
Mayor Nee said he believed the Finance Department had done a very fine job in the
preparation of the instructions.
Councilman Breider said he had a few questions he felt the City Attorney may be
able to answer. Ne commented that all of the requirements refer to the registered
voter and with the new 1aw it would be possible to register to vote on election day.
He asked the City Attorney how he would interpol�ate this.
Councilrnan Fitzpatrick aiso questioned the provision in the recall section tha*
25% be a requirement and questioned 25% of what.
ihe City Attorney asked if the Council would like him to answer the question at
the present time or research it. Councilman Breider said in talking about the
instruction to the people, the signer would have to be registered at the time of
siqining the petition or the signature could not be counted. He said he is quite
sure that this would be his opinion if he researched the question. He added the
City Charter r�fers to registered voters.
Councilman Fitzpatrick questioned the provision for 25% of the voters and said •
25% of what. The City Attorney said this would be 25°r' of the total registered
voters. Mayor Nee said there is a question about ward elections. He also questioned
in this case, who would get to vote. The City Attoi°ney said he felt this question
should be resolved. He said this may not come up, but if it does, it will be
difficult.
Councilman Breider questioned Page 11-B of the agenda, item #10 and asked if the
petitioner circulator would have to attest to all of the signatur2s of the people
to be who they purport to be. He said if he walked up to a house and a person signs
a petition as John Doe, does the circulator have to attest that this is John Doe if
it is John Smith. The City Attorney said there is also concern if people sign the names
as Mr. and Mrs. Smith. He s�id the circulator would have to be aware of the provisions.
The City Attorney said the circulaior is only attesting that the person sinned the
petition in his or her presence no� that they are vrho they purport to be. Councilman
Breider asked if an exainple could be included in th.is section and the Finance
Director said yes, this section could be amended. •
Councilman Breider said he �vas surprised to see the administration act so quickly
on the suggestion that �he instructions be drawn up. �4ayor Nee �aid he thought this
was great also. � .
Mayor Nee said there is also a question of how the people sig� r voter registration
cards. The Finance Director said there is a problem with won:� �,ing their names
as Mrs. John Smith rather than with their own first names. hi�° :'ee said he wou]d
not want people disqualified as a signer if the signature woulc ;ary slightly. He
questioned if this language•could be softened a little to ask or encourage that the
people sign like oi� the regisiration card.
The City Attorney sugggested that the two lines of instruction be consolidated.
The City Attorney saici the fourth item would have to rema�in the same until there
is a Charter change.
MOTION by Council�roman Kukowski to approve the instructions to petition circulators
as amended with the comments in the discussion. Seconded by Councilman Breider.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.,

THE MINUTES OF THE PU B LIC HEARING MEETING OF THE FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL OF JULY 14, 1975
The Public Hearing meeting of the Fridley City Council of July 15, 1475 was called to
order at 7:34 P.M. by Mayor Nee. �
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
Mayor P:ee invited those present at the meeting to join the Council in saying the Pledge
of Allegiance to the Flag.
ROLL CALL:
MEP1BERS PRESENT: Councilman Starwalt, Councilman Fitzpatrick, Mayor Nee,
Councilwoman Kukowski, Councilman Breider.
MEF46ERS ABSE�VT: None.
ADOPTION OF AGENDA:
Mayor Nee said there would be one addition, the consideration of a resolution in opposition
to the Rules and Regulations of the Municipal Shoreland Management Act.
MOTION by f.ou��cilman Fitzpatrick to adopt the Agenda as ame°�ded with the addition of the
Resolution in Opposition to the rules and regulations of the Shoreland Management Act.
Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the
motion carried unanimously.
PUBLIC HEARIN6S:
PUBLIC HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT - STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT N0. 118.
� MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the
public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, atl voting aye,
Mayor Nee declared the public hearing opened at 7:36 P.M.
The Public 4�lorks Director said the current matter was brought to the Council to solve a
problem in the middle of a drainage district. He explained the first proposal for the
elimination of the drainage problem to pick up the water at the catch basin on Benjamin
Street and take it to the north to 60ih to the existing stArm sewer at 60th and Oakwood
Manor. He said this would collect the water being directed to the low area on private
property. He said the water had been collecting in the low area prior to the construction
of the street. Ne said the water still drains to the low area through the catch basin.
He said there would be"some benefit to the remainder of the property in the drainage
district. He said the estimate for this improvement would be approximately $20,981.25 which
would result in the assessment of'$8.66 per�100 square feet.
�layor Nee asked if this improvement would influence the surface or pavement of the existing
' improvement. The Public Works Director said no, this could be installed in the boulevard
area. He explained the only restoration work to be sodding of the boulevard and driveways
on 60th Avenue. He said the $8.66 is a very high assessment, and it is the highest proposed
in.the City to this date. •

t
II�
The Pu61ic Works Director said an alternate proposal had been figured for the direction '
of the water by piping from the existing catch basin on Benja���in south to the mutual property
line and into the lot area. He said this would still allow the flow of the water to the
� depression or low area where it has been flowing all along. He said this would require
� the City to acquire some easements for the construction of the system and the lot area. He
said this estimated cost would be approximately $10,150 or an assessment of $4.19 per 100
, square feet. . He said this solution would be more compatible to the assessments of the other
areas op the City. This would eliminate the idea of development in the low area and the C1�y
would n�aintain the property in the low area. He said the water would be collected in'the
low area where it has been collectin4 for�some time.
Mayor Nee asked if this improvement had been petitioned for. The Public Works Director
said no, it was bro'ught to the Council at the direction of•the Council.
Councilwoman Kukowski asked who would be assessed for the second proposal, and the Public
Works Director said everyone who would be assessed for the first improvement. He saic:
' they were talking about the same area.
_ Councilman Starwalt said if the easements are acquired, there would be no future deve1opment

in the back lots. He asked if this action could be overturned in the future i,f development
is desired. The Public Works Director said it would be possible but it would be di'fficult
and costly because the piping would exist in the area. He said this could be done by filling
the low area and replacing the pipi.ng system.
Mrs. B.L. Liliemoen, 1583 Gardena Avenue, addressed the Counci] and indicated she lived .
on Lot 22. She said s.he would not be in favor of any easement. She also said she may want
*� develop her property in the future but she did not know when. She suggested that if there
there is any easement necessary, this be done on Mr. Erickson's property because he is the
one with the problem.
Mayor Nee asked Mrs. Lillemoen howshe felt about the proposed project which were aTternatives
one and two. Mrs. LilTemoen said she would like the pipe installed on his property, not
her own. Mayor Nee asked if she would favor the improvement if the pipe was placed on
Mr. Erickson's property, and Mrs. Lillemoer said she would not give up any easements at all.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the easements were on Mr. Erickson's property, would
Mrs. Lillemoen favor either the first or second proposals. Mrs. Lillemoen said she would
not favor any of the proposals. She suggested that a pipe be run under his driveway close
to his steps with a catch basin insialled in the iov area. She suggested that the expense
be taken care of 6y Mr. Ericl:son or spread around to everybody. She mentioned that this
was the City.Engineer's first proposal, and this would take the shortest amount of.pipe
and involve the least cost. She suggested the pipe be covered v�ith dirt. She said she
did not.want the pipe on her property line, she would not be in favor of this.
Mr. Jim Tiller, 5929 Oakwood Manor, said the water.had been coming into that area far years.
He said the basic drainage area has not changed. He said he did not think there was
more water in the iow area, and it was there when the house was bought by the present
owner. He said there could be more water in the area since the improvement of the street.
Mr. Tiller said the improvement would benefit one individual. He said he had been by
the property after a recent rain, and there was no water standing in the low area the
next day. He said he had not noticed any erosion. Mr. Tiller said he could not see this
kind of expense to take care cf someone else's problem.
Mayor Nee asked if the people of the area had been assessed for any other storm sewer •
lateral. The City Manager said there had been some assessment for storm sewer, bu� this
was a very small portion.
Mr. Bailey Tiller, 1535 Gardena Avenue , addressed the Council and asked how deep the
storm sewer wou}d have to be in this area. Ne asked if a tank u!as to be installed. The
Public Works Director said neitf�er one of the systems contains this type of installation.
Mr. Bailey Tiller explained he did not understand the �mplications of the proposed
improvements, and he had talked to an attorney who would represent him in this actior. with
the City. _
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Bailey Tiller if he was opposed to one or both of the proposals.
Mr. Tiller answered that he was talking about someth.ing being installed like a tank.
He said he would not favor the condemnation of any property. He said he questioned if
a.r,yone would want to develop the back area and said this was a beautiful area with
wiidiife. He safd he did not understand the current proposals. He mentioned Mr. Don.
Savelkoul would represent him in this consideration. •
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Tiiler if he had any inclination to sp}it off his lot, and Mr. Tiller
said he did not. Mayor Nee asked if he had any interest in having °�nother building site
in the back of his land, and Mr. Tiller said not at this time. Mr: Ti11er said he had
no intention of selling his front lot.
The City Manager said no one is saying the land would be•condemned. He said the owner
could give the City the rig�t to install the pipe, and there would be no reason to
acquire or condemn. Mayor Nee asked if the estimate of $10,000 included money for
• condemnation. The Pub]ic Works Director said yes. �
Mrs. Nina Sakariason, 5965 Oakwood.Manor, said she is still paying for the road, and if
any more is added, she would not be ab]e t� pay this. She added, even if it would be
a little bit,.it would be too much.
Councilman Starwalt questioned if there would be additional assessmertts in the future,
and the Public Works Director said yes, they are in a subdistrict within a larger district,
and they would receive assessments in the future development.•
'� Councilman Breider questioned the method of assessment at this time and in the future if
. this improvement was approved at this time. The Public Works Director explained there
, has been-a .City policy where a large area is taken and the assessments are equalized
'
'
�

for rate in the whole area. He said this would depend on the amount of
benefit received, and this would have to be reviewed again.
'� Mr. Nick Garaffa, 6750 Monroe Street, asked how this proposed improvement
Would compare to the conditions in the area where Mr. Miller had developed.
.The Public Works Director said this would differ.in the manner that there
are many property owners, and Mr. Miller was the sole owner of tFie property
' at the time there was a drainage problem on his property. He saia it
would be similar in that the area was draining into a low hole. Mr. 6araffa
recalled that Mr. Miller had asked that the property be drained. The Public
. Works Director mentioned that Mr. Miller was the sole owner of the property.
, Mr. Garaffa pointed out that the property owner may not have been aware of
the problem or condition a�hen the property was purchased. He said he felt
the precedent has been set by the Council action in the Miller case which
drained sites to allow more buildable lots.
,
'
�
�
Mr. Bailey Tiller said he would like to clarify the statement that was made
6y Mr. Star-walt. He said his water does not drain into Mr. Erickson's
property, the street drainage goes into the Erickson property. Mr.�Tiller
said he lived in the area for many years, and Mr. Erickson never had any
water on his property until the Engineering Department put inthe street.
Mr. John Bolich, 1580 60th Avenue, said he had a garden in the low area for
three years, and he had never fiad any water in the garden. He explained
when the property was sold, he had to give up the garden. He said he had
lived in the area for 11 years, and there was never any problem with the
water until the street was put in. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Bolich if he agreed
with the border of the drainage district. Mr. Bolich answered, he did
not know, he had not taken a transit to get this information. Mayor Nee
said the street improvement generated the problem. Mr. Bolich said why
they did not put the storm sewer in at the time the street was installed,
he did not know. He said now they would have to cut up the area to do this.
' ,. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Bolich how he felt about the proposed improvement at
this.time. Mr. Bolich said he was not for or against the improvement. He
said he would not want an increase in his assessments. He said he would
agree that�there is a problem and something would have to be done, but he
, could not offer a solution. �iayor Nee asked Mr. Bolich which plan he would
favor,and Mr. Bolich said th.e least expensive.
Mrs. Dorothy Lillmars, owner of Lot i, Block 1, Route 2, Stacy, Minnesota,
' questioned the amount of assessments on this lot, and Mayor Nee said this
Ftould be 831.36. Mrs. Lillmars said she believed this to be excessive for
a lot with no accessability. Mayor Nee said they did have a deprived access.
j Mayor Nee said the City did have a plan where the back lots would be built on,
i and now the people say they do not.want to buiTd on the back lots; now the
' plan i,s invalid. Mayor Nee asked Mrs. Lillmars if they would like to deveTop
their land. Mrs. Lillmars said her husband thought this would be possible.
Mr. Bailey.Tiller said he thought •there were only two buildable sites in the
6ack portions.
r
'
' �
�
Mr. Mahlon S. Moe, 5955 Benjamin Street, addressed the Council and said h.e
owned Outlot A and asked how much the assessment would be for this parcel.
He said there is no access to this property and no hope of access in the
future. Mayor Nee said this is estimated.at $1,379.27. Mr. Mahlon said
the assessment for Lot .� , Block 1,,Acorn Hill Addition is$921.42. He
said this �u�� make his assessments in the area of $2,200. He said he
would not 6e �n Pavor of the improvement.
Mrs. Lillmars asked how much the assessment would�be for 1561 Gardena Avenue.
Mayor Nee said this is estimated at $498.81. Mrs. Lilimars asked why this
was only one half of the price of the other lot. The Public Works Dt'rector '
Sa�the front half of thislot is in another assessment area and has already
been assessed.
293
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JULY 14, 1975 - Page 4
Mrs. Fredrick Schmitt, 5963 Oakwood Manor, said she is opposed to any more
assessments. She said she did not feel that she contributed to the water.
Mayor Nee asked Mrs.Schmitt if she had any intentions of splitting off her
ba�ck lot. Mrs. Schmitt said the lot had been landscaped in the back portion
to take care of erosjon, and she did not feel she would split it.
Mrs. Sakariason said her property does not contribute to the water. She said
she is paying $4,000 in assessments at the present time.
Mr. Lawrence Peterson, 5991 Benjamin Street N.E. addressed the Council and
said he thought all of this water was going to t; Erickson property. He
said with the proposed system of piping from Benjamin to 60th, this would
6ave to be a very deep system. He said the people of the area should have
had the sys.tem installed at the same time as the street was installed.
Mr. Peterson asked how long the water stands on the Erickson property.
Mr. Erickson said from one to two days. He said all of the debris from
the street such as sand, gravel and si7t is washed into the area.
Mayor Nee asked how deep the cut would be to install the storm sewer and,
the Public Works Director said,in the deepest place, as deep as 13 feet.
Mr. Erickson said he is the person who catches all of•the water, and when
he bought the place, there was no water in that area. He said he would
like to clear up some misconceptions. He said he thought the probTem was
created by the City,and the City knew there was going to be a problem there.
He said this concern had come up on the hearing. He said he had come to
the City and asked that the damages be taken care of. He said there are
some funds escrowed, and some people do not know there are funds escrowed
for this type of improvement. He said when t.hey had purchased the house,
they thought there was a pending assessment for the storm sewer construction.
Mr. Ericksan said he was not in favor of the.second proposal. He said he
thought this was too much money for a poor solution. He said as long as
he had the money in escrow, he would favor the construction of the complete
system or alternative number one. ,
Mayor Nee asked if the volume of the water had been increased with the
construction of the improvement of the street. He asked if the water
coming down Gardena was routed in another di�rection before the street
improvement, ihe Public Works Director said the.drainage district had not
been increased. He explained that this drainage is directed into New Brighton
and there may be a sma11 amount comi•ng into this area. Mayor Nee asked if
this had drained in this area before, and the Public Works Director said
yes. Mayor Nee said the paving has accentuated the problem.
Councilman Starwalt said the water does route to Benjamin, and if anyone
had ever stood there in a rain, they would be surprised at the amount.
The Public Works Director said he had been there in a rain. Councilman
Starwalt said the water did go east on Gardena and now it goes north on
Benjamin to Mr. Erickson's property. ' •
The City Attorney said generally speaking, the laws on surface water drainage
• ' as far as municipalities saythat they can dispose of this water in a
reasonable fashion. He said a municipality can drain into a low area that
, ftad been burdened with this•water previously. He said when the streets are
lmproved, there is going to be more and faster runoff. The City Attorney
said in his opinion, the City has some tiability because the water is being
� col}ected and disposed of by means of the culvert onto Mr. Erickson's
property. He said he did not think this would be considered a reasonable
•, way to dispose of the water. He said if tf�ere is damage, erosion and
� gravel being deposited, he felt Mr. Erickson would be entitled to some legal
1^egress. He said if the City chose the second alternative, subject to the�
, acquisition of the lov� area, this would be logical and reasonable. He said
he was not advising that this be done, but just�mentioning tf�at this wou7d
� be a logicat solution and one option t6at the City would have.
Nidyor Nee said one question that would have to be answered would be if the
people of the area want access available for the back l.ots. He said the
City has some obligation to find some solution. He said this would be a
legal obligation if not a moral obligation. '

Mrs. Lillmars said she has lived in the area for many years and there was
never any water down in the low area. She said she thougF�t it would be the
City's responsibility to solve the problem if it has been caused by the
City. .
Mr. Robert Erickson said he was not pushing any one of the plans. He was
just seeking action on the damage that has been done. He said this is
a problem the City created, and he expected to have something done about
it. He said this is the reason that this public hearing had been called
and the reason for the funds being escrowed for the storn sewer. He
said whether or not the storm sewer is installed or the whole thing is
dumped, he Would like the damaged taken care of. He said these damages
would run from $10,000 to $12,000.
Councilman Starwalt referred to the' damage done and said he would question
if they would be that high. He said he would agree at one time after
a rain there was four feet of water standing in the low area, and a
couple of times when there was three feet of water in the low area, but
it drains away fast. He said five people had escrowed money for future
storm sewer construction in this area. He said he would not want to
personally declare that there will not be any storm•sewer project; they
are working with too many unknowns. He said he thought the escrow process
is a reasonable process for a situation sucii as this. He said he was not
on the Council at the time that this was decided upon. He said he would
not want to see the escrow accounts to be in jeopardy.
Councilman Starwalt said he recalled t.hat one time Mr. Erickson said he
would' be pleased if the City would. pipe the runoff water rather than have it
overland.
Mr. Erickson said he had told Councilman Starwalt at City Council meetings
dnd also in private that this is not an acceptable solution to the
problem. He said only one time did he say he would consider this type of•
thing, and this was if it was a temporary solution and it would be dcne
out of general funds. He said he had corrected Councilman Starwalt on this
point at two meetings. He said he only ag.reed to this type of solution
if:it were to be temporary and out of general funds. He said now the
second alternative comes up with this type of action, but the land will
be condemned, and it is to be a permanent.solution. He said he was not in
favor of this kind of solution. •
Councilman Starwalt said Mr. Erickson had said he.would accept the under-
, ground construction. Mr. Erickson said he agreed if this would be temporary
and out of general funds. He said the current proposal or second alter-
native would ruin other people's property and his own, and they would have
• to pay a great expense for this.
, Councilman Starwalt asked Mr. Erickson if fie would accept the piping of the
water to the low area if this would be at no cost to him. Mr. Erickson
, asked who would pay the cost. Councilman Starwalt said it would be at no
• cost to htr. Erickson. Mr. Erickson asked if he meant that no one would be
� assessed. Councilman Starwalt said yes. Mr. Erickson said he would agree
to this if it was a temporary solution and no one was assessed and if the
escrow account was not disturbed.
,

Councilman Starwalt asked now much in jeopardy the escrow funds are at the
present time. The City Attorney said if this was challenged in court, he
did ndt want to say that the City would win the challenge. He said
this would be doubtful or questionable. He said the City would,have a
50/50 or less chance. He questioned if the City had the right to hold the
escrow funds indefinitely. The City Attorney said there is no.time limit
for holding the escrow, but they state a reasbnable time limit. He
mentiuned two to tnree years would be okay, but any longer than this, he
• would not say the City could be sure to win a challenge.
Councilman Starwait said the temporary solution would.not take care of any
future development. He again mentioned there are so many unknowns in this
consideration. He asked if ihe people would say that this area was to be
developed, and they were put on record saying this, would this have a
bearing on how long the escrow.monies could be held. The City Attorney
�
295
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JUIY 14, 1975 Page 6
said no, he did not see where thi.s would be a consideration
Councilman Starwalt said something would have to be done that the people
agree with. He said the majority of the people do not want to have an
improvement project with the exception of Mr. Erickson.
Mr. Erickson said he had not expressed the desire for either of the alter-
natives. He said he is not in favor of the second proposal. Mr. Erickson
stated he would like the money retained in escrow. He said he would.like
samething done about the damage to his property. He said he had $],500 in
escrow for storm sewer.
Mayor Nee asked if the money would go to Mr. Erickson or the previous property
owner if the escrow is given up. Councilman Starwalt said in this case,
it would go to the prior property owner.
Mr. Bailey Tiller said he thought he was obligated to contribute to the.
improvemer:. He said he would like to see something instailed such as a
ceptic tank in the low area. He said he is opposed to the two proposals
presented at the present meeting, but he felt he should pay his share.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Tiller if he was suggesting an installation such as a
dry well, and.Mr. Tiller said yes.
The Public Works Director said one of the proposals had been to put in an
energy dissapator which would takeup the force of the water flowing into
the low area. Mayor Nee said it would seem to him that this would fncrease
the costs. He said the energy dissapator would allow the water to remain
running over land to the low area.
Councilman Breider questioned if this could and should be done from the
general fund. He said Mr. Erickson had reluctantly agreed to this as a
temporary solution. Mr. Erickson agreedto this statement. The Public
Works Director said it would be difficult to calculate the price for this
type of system. The Public Works Director said if the parce] of property
•. was cut by the pipe on a triangular line, this would solve the problem
of not having the pipe on the property line. Councilman Starwalt said
he thought Mr. Erickson would provide the easement. Mr. Erickson said he
did not know about this, Mr. Erickson said he would have to have someone
appraise the property. The Public.Works Director said he thought this
�emporary solution may be from $5,OOOto $7,000. Mr. Erickson asked if they
were talking about a pipe running through the center of his yard. The
Public works Director said yes, and Mr. Erickson said forget it.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to close the public hearing. S.econded by
Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, aTl voting aye, Mayor Nee
declared the motion carried unanimously, and the public hearing closed
at 9:18 P.M. '
�I
Mayor Nee informed the property ow.ners that the Council would not be taking
dction on the item at the current meeting, this would possibly be done
at one of the next two meetings after the staff is allowed to prepare
addi'tional information. �

MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to waive the reading of thepublic hearing
notice and open the public heari�g. Seconded by Councilman Kukowski. Upon
' �a voice vote, all voting aye., Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously, and the public hearing opened at 9:19 P.M.
The Public Works Oirector explained this hearing to concern the improvement .
of Siverts Lane, one of the last remaining unimproved streets in the City
'.of Fridley. He said up until this time the City has been maintaining the
, � unimproved street and plowing it in the winter months. He said there had
been grading done on a few occasions. He said the mainterrance of this
' street was done with the anticipation that the sanitary sewer and water
�tduld be installed in the future to serve the property on the south end of
I�\ Siverts Lane. Mr. Sobiech recalled at a recent City Council meeting, there,

had been a request approved to waive the hook up to the sanit�ry sewer
and water facilities on this lot. He said this lead the staff to-put the
present improvement on the agenda for public hearing. The Pub1ic Works
Director said it is not the City policy to maintain unimproved streets.
He added, if the property owners are not in favor of this street improvement
project, they could agree to maintain tf�e street. He said the estimated
cost of the original roll for this imrpovement is $10,205.80 which would
involve a front foot assessment of $8.30. The side yard assessment would
be $1.24 per foot.
The Public Works Director explained the feeling that in this case the.
side yard assessment may not be appropriate because of the street being a
dead end street, and the use of the street would be quite restrictive.
He said in alternate IVumber One, the front foot assessment would be the full
assessme.nt with the street being used as their access. He further explained
the possibility of the two properties on 69th being split in the future,
so they had been figured for front assessment for tf�e southerly portions.
He explained the cost for Alternate roll number one to be $9.04. He sai.d
Alternate roll number two would have a side yard together with a front.foot
assessment for an assessment for the prope:ties at $9.67. He said in this
roll, they would use only 75 feet of frontage for Parcel 250 and Parcel 260.
The Pub1ic Works Director explained the third Alt•ernate roll was prepared
only.using the abuttin� property owners and using a 75 foot frontage for
Parcel 250 and 260 with no side yard assessments for a front foot rate of $12.54
The Public Works Director said this would �e a 28 foot bituminus roadway with
no curb and gutter.
Mayor Nee asked if the other lot on the east side of the road is buildable.
The Public Works Director explained this to be a tax forfeit parcel being
fteld by Anoka County for the City of Fridley for Open Space acquisition
along Rice Creek. Playor Nee, asked if the City of Fridley �•�ould pay the
assessments for this lot in this case. The Public tdorks Director said this
amount would be applied to the tax forfeit property. He said the amount�
would be paid by the owner of the property whether this be the City or t6e
County.
Councilman Starwalt asked if the City.had any plans for the park in the east
side of the roadway. The Public Works Director said he was not aware of
any specific p,lans.
Mayor Nee asked if Siverts Lane had paid a side yard assessment. Mr. Mervin
Herrmann, Assessor, said no, because there are only front yards on this
property. .
Councilman Starwalt asked what amount of frontage would be charged for
Parcel 260. The Public Works Director said this would be 75 feet of frontage:
Councilman Starwalt asked what portion would be assessed for Parcel 250.
The Public Works Director said this would be 270 feet on Alternate Number Two.
Councilman Starwalt said Parcel 250 is doing quite well.
Councilman Starwalt questioned what type of curbing could be installed.
The Public Works Director said this would be a slight asphalt berm that would
be machine made.
�� Cou�cilman Starwalt asked if tFie Council was dwdre tt�at t�iere i�s act�`on
, 6efore the Planning Commission to vacate the road easement in Parcel 260.'
He asked how this would affect the improvement. The Public Works Director
said not at all. He said there is no other property to the south that would
. need access. Councilman Starwalt asked if the roadway was for gaining access
to the dam si:te. The Public Works Director said the parkland to the south
� could be used for access to_the damsite. He said agreements or easements
could be obtained from the park parcel to the e�st. He mentioned that he did
not think anyone had needed access to the dam in years.
'
�
� Councilman Starwalt mentioned that the Parcel E is 16 acres and asked if
there are any plans for aGCess on•the east edge. The City Manager said ther�
is a public easement and access by the townhouses. Mayor Nee said there is
no way to get down to the creek from 69th. He asked if there were�any
development plans. The City Manager explained the money obtained for this

project was only for acquisition at this time and not for development.
Mayor Nee questioned if there may be a need for a larger street in the future.
The City Manager said in Locke Park,which.is a 125 acre park,tFiere is a
very small roadway, and it is sufficient.
Councilman Starwalt asked who is pushing for this improvement. He said he
felt that no one in the area wanted the improvement. Councilman Starwalt
questi.oned if there may be some need for the installation of utilities in
the future, could this be done after the improvement of the road. The
City Manager said there would be a good size boulevard, and tf�e utilities
could be installed in this portion. .
Councilman Starwalt questioned if the smaller size roadway would come up
to City standards. The Public W.orks Director said this would be a standard
street with the only difference being the width. The Pub15c Works Director
said the recent normal cost for street improvement has been in the area of
$15.00 te $17.00 per front foot,and this improvement would be quite a bit less
than this. The City Manager said this would be a minimai type of improve-
ment to k�ep the construction costs down.
Councilman Starwalt questioned the type of curbing that would be insta7led.
The Public Works Director explained this to be a triangular shaped berm that ;
would be machine made. He said the normal curb would be much higher and
wider. He mentioned that this would be four inches high. Counci7man 8reider
asked what the cost would be to maintain this type of street. The Public ;
Works Director said he did not have the figures for this. He said the
grading had been done on a request basis, and this had been done about twice
per year. He said the plowing would be done when needed. Councilman Breider
questioned how much the maintenance would cost the City of the improvement
was installed. The Public Works Director said the grading would be e7iminated.. '
. E
� �
Councilman Breider asked if the snow plow would take out the berm. The City i
Manager said no, this.is the type of berm on the 57th alley, and there is no �
problem. The Public Works Director said there is also this type of berm on f
64th between Arthur and Central. The City Manager said if in the future �
ri�ere is a request, the concrete curb and gutter could be added on to the ;
road. He said t�te proposed improvement would not be a waste, ii could be ;
added on. �
Mr. Tng Siverts,'6850 Siverts Lane, addressed the Council and questioned •
why a street improvement proposalcame out of a request to waive the sewer
a�d water connections. The PublicWorks Director explained that since this
r'equirement had been waived, there are no other developable properties which
would require utilities. He said the City had been waiting for the improve-
me�t of tf�e street until such utilities were weatF�er installed or all waived.
Mr. Siverts said no one.had requested this improvement. 7he Public Works �
Director said the City had not received a petition for this improvement.
lie said the City had been maintaining the roadway with the idea there would
be sanitary sewer and water installed in the future. He said now with the
waiver,the City is not anticipating the installation of sanitary sewer and
water on Siver.ts Lane. He said the next step is to install the street
impr•6vement..
A resident of the area said the property to the east has not had the wa•iver.
The Public Works Director said this is the property being held by the
�! City of Fridley for park purposes. The City Manager said there is no �
question that this will be park property. The resident asked if the park
would want sanitary sewer and water. The City Manager said there is enough
boulevard so that this could be installed in the future if it is needed.
�He said there are 15 feet on each side which is right of way.
A resident of the area questioned why the road would be needed if it'was
to only serve the two people that live back there.. The Giiy Manager
indicated that the people of the area can say the road is not needed, and
they can maintain the existing roadway.
Mr. Ing Siverts said he preferred that they not improve the road. He said
it ftad been in existance for a number of years at its present starrdard,

, and it was acceptable. Mr. Siverts expla.ined that the City has furnished
two loads of stabilized base, and they are very happy with the conditions.
� The City Manager said if the three people would agree on the maintenance
of the roadway, there would be noproblem. He said in time there would have
• to be a road installed, and he pointed out it would either 6e now at today's
prices or in the future at an increased rate.
�
'
' .
'
,
Mayor Nee said this was brought up because of a policy of tfte City to not
maintain unimproved roads and alleys because of the cost of this. He said
if the roadway is not installed, the City would abandon the maintenance
of this road. He mentioned no one is pressing for this improvement. They
were trying to make the property owners aware that if the street is not
improved, the maintenance will be withdrawn.
The property owner of Tract D addressed the Council and said this arrange-
ment would be fine with him. ,
The owner-�f Parcel 260 addressed the Council and said he felt the improved
street and cul de sac would enhance his property, but he would not.want
to impose the assessments on the remainder of the people in the area for
this reason. The City Manager said this would be no problem, but the peopie
of the area would have to take care of the maintenance. He stressed that
if the improvement is installed in the future, there would be an increase
in the costs.
Mr. Ing Siverts suggested that if there is any access to the park,that
this be put in to the east on the other side of the houses andwest of the
townhouses. He mentinned that this would be a better area for traffic of
this kind rather than Siverts Lane. Mr. Siverts also mentioned there f�as
been some problem with traffic through the tax forfeit parcel of property.
He�said he had put barriers through there, and they had been removed.
He suggested that the matter of the easterly access to the park be talked
about in the planning stage. •

PUBLIC HEARING ON REZONING REQUEST, ZOA #75-03, BY CITY OF FRIDLEY FOR
GEORGE IS IN FRIDLEY TO REZONE fROf4 M-2 TO C-2; 37Z0 EAST RIVER ROAD:
The Public Works Director explained.that this property was owned by the
City of Fridley, and during this time, it was zoned P. He added, before
this time, it was zoned M-2. He said the request is to change the zoning
to the existing use. •He said the proposed zoning does not prohibit, and
it does not specifically allow the current use. The Planning Commission
recommended approval of the rezoning request. .
, Councilman Breider asked if this.property was on a contract for deed with
Mr. Nicklow and the City. The Public Works Director said yes. Councilman
Brelder said the City had the option to purchase the property back in the
� peri�d of five years, and the City Manager said yes. Councilman Breider
, asked if there is a building plan for this area. The Pub9ic Works Dire�ctor
� said there was no building plan, just remodeling.
Mayor Nee asked if there was anyone present who had any comments.
Mr. Richard Harris, Chairman of the Planning Commission, addressed the
Council and said he was not.so sure that the property should be rezoned to
C-2. He thought it may be better as M-2. Mr. Harris asked the City
Attorney to clarify this.point. Mr. Harris said he thought this would be
spot zoning, and if the City had not granted the title, the rezoning would
not have been recommended.
The City Attorney said the property is zoned P for pu6lic use and would have
to be rezoned. He said the City would have some obligation to de,liver the
title for the purpose the property was sold. He said if the property is

burned or damaged more than 50� it would not be reptaced because it would
be non conforming. He said this rezoning would only be fair to the man
that bought the property. �
Mayor Nee asked if there was any objection from the property owner. The
Public Works Director said no. Mayor Nee asked if there was any objection
from the adjoining property owner, the Metro Sewer Board. The Public Works
Director said no.
Mr. Nick Garaffa said when the property was sold with a stipulation that
tfie City would be able to take back any improvements or construction ,
made on the property. He asked if there had been any construction.
Councilman Breider said there had been a paved parking lot installed.
Mr. Garaffa asked if the City was eliminating their�chanes of getting back '
i:nto the 1iquor business at this location some time in the future if this
1`s desired. The City Manager said there would be no problem, the City has
tFie right to purchase the property for the amount that was paid for it plus
the interest. Mr. Garaffa said.this current action would not change the .
cflances of picking up the property,and the City Attorney said no. �
Mayor Nee questioned how the City could be sure that there were no objections
from the property owner when they had not heard from.him. The Public Works
Director said the owner had signed the application for the rezoning. ;

RUBLIC HEARING ON VACATION RE UEST, SAV #75-02, BY DENNIS SMERUD, TO VACATE
H AVENUE BETWEEN 3RD STREET AND UfJIVERSITY AVENUE; 4603 3RD STREET N.E.:
Tfie Pu61ic Dlorks Director said the action was initiated by a plan for an
addition to the home of Dennis Smerud. He said the addition would be
eight to ten feet from the south property line. He said at the time of ,
application, he found he would either have to apply for a var�ance or
request the vacation of the roadway. He said the roadway is not being �
used, and the two adjoining property owners have been maintaining the
a1^ea and have a garden in this area. Mr. S�obiech said from the engineering
standpoint, there are no objections to the vacat.ion. He said he would
recommend tF�at the City maintain the drainage and utility easement as suggested'
by the Planning Commission. He said the Planning Commission, at their P1ay 21,
i975 meeting, recommended approval of the request with three stipulations.
The Public Works Director said there has been a suggestion made that the
City may wani to retain such parcels for tennis courts and tot lots. He
said he would like to bring this to the Council's attention and also mention
there had been no objections to the vacation.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if either of the other two cut off. streets �in
the area had been vacated. The Pub]ic Works Director said no.
The City Manager explained that if the City has any desire to install any
tennis�courts or tot lots in this area, it shouTd be noted that there is not
much land available for paY�k in this area, and he would like to bring this
to their attention. He said this would be one of the only tots that would
�! be barely large enough for the development of a tennis court. He said this
would be a less expensive method for public use than the acquisition of
property. He said this property is not in the center of the area develop-
ment. ' �
Councilman Fitzpatrick said this is the most southerly of the other possib-
ilities. The City Manager questioned which one of the areas had the steep
terrain, and the Public Works Director said th•is is the one in question, 46th.
' The Public Works Director said this would not be too suitable for a tennis
• court, but it would be large enough for a tot lot.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked if�all of these areas were previously access
tq Highway #47. The City Manager said yes.
� The City Attorney said there may be a legal problem in this type of action.

He said normally wflen easements are vacated, tfiey return to the property
,' that had dedicated the land or the adjacent property. He questioned if the
City would have the right to use the area for a park when it was a street

The City Manager questioned the direction the Council wished him to take
on the matter. Councilman Fitzpatrick indicated he believed that if this
park idea were to be pursued, he thought the 47th easement would be more
appropriate for this type of plan. He said he didn't think this would be
a proper imposition on the two property owners.

MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to receive the resolution from the Fridley
, DFL concerning the Proposed Charter Changes. Seconded by Councilwoman
Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked what would be theprocedur.e for the adoption
of the amendments by the City Council. Mayor Nee said it would have to
be a unanimous vote by the Council. He said this would be done by ordinance.
The City Planager explained that if the Ci.ty Council does not agree with the
recommendations, the Charter Commission would have the authority to submit
tfte changes to the voters. `
Mayor Nee asked if the changes should be discussed item by item to determine
Whether there is agreement. .Councjlman Fitzpatrick asked if the City Council
.. had to accept the changes unanimously in part or whole. He asked if it
would be possible for the Charter Commission to review the comments and
submit the change back to the Counci}.
The City Manager said this would be possible, or they could submit the
cf►anges directly to the voters.
Mr. Dennis Schneider said_ the Fridley•DFL�is. technically in favo.r of the �
Charter Amendment for the housekeeping changes. He mentioned some of tf�e
sections they anticipated to disrupt the petition process.
Mr. Nick Garaffa said he would like to ask the member of the Charter Commission
who was present at the meeting, Mr. Herbert Bacon, about the section
concerning the attesting to signatures. He said he had to attest to the
signatures on a petition for filing to run for Councilman. He questioned
� wh�ther or not someone in a referendum could follow this procedure. .
He said if someone comes to the door of a home, they assume he or she is
the pe.rson that they say in their signature. He did not believe it a -
go�d practice ta have to ask someone for their driverslicense. He questioned
why the penalty is mentioned in this section. .
Mr. Herbert Bacon addressed the Council and said the Charter Commission's
- inteni; is to see that any petitioner would get this information before he
goes out to circulate a petition. He said there are many people that do not
.� know what they are doing when they go out to get signatures. He said they
do not know what they are going after. ,
Mr. Garaffa said the: City Clerk must take the peti�i�n up to Anoka County
and compare the signatures against the voting registration records. He said
ottly then Will they be considered valid. He asked why this type of
:
�

Page 12
procedure would be necessary. �.
Mr. Bacon said the signature could be valid, and it could be someone signing �
, 'for their husband or wife. �
Mr. Garaffa asked the Finance Director if the City takes the petitions up i,
� to the Councy and compares signatures. The Finance Director said yes. �
�
' Mr.�Garaffa asked why this additional language woula ee neeaea.
The Finance Director said the staff are not handwriting experts. He said
they check to see if the signature is a registered voter, and if it is
obviously not the signature of the registere�l voter, they wi71 say that it
is not a valid signature. He said if the signature looks reasonable, it is
accepted because what evidence would they have to challenge it?
Mr. Garaffa said the general rule of the land is that people will be honest.
He stated those people at the polls comparing signatures of voters are not
experts either.
Mr. Dennis Schneider said the statement does not tell the circulator•what
to do, it only tells hiln if he does not do this right he wil] be fined.
Mr. Bacon said the stiffer fine would make peaple•think twice. The City E
Attorney noted that the current Charter language said any violation is a , ',
misdemeanor, and this is defined by State law as a criminal violation to �
be fined up to $300 or up to 90 days in jail. He said.in comparison to the c
suggested language, he would int�erpret that it may have been the intent k
to lessen the penalty. He ment.ioned he was not sure that a judge would },
consider this language i�n court. �
Mr. Dennis Schneider said he•did not think the suggested language would
help the petitioner. He said it may scare him.
Councilman Starwalt asked Mr. Garaffa if he had any quams about attesting
to the signature on his filing,petition, and Mr. Garaffa said he did not.
He said he knew the people that had signed, and there was no question.
Mr. Garaffa said he did not think a very good method to obtain signatures
would be to cross examine pe0ple by asking for a drivers license or
something to validate the signatures.
Councilman Starwalt said there are some liars, cheets and thieves in this �
world. Councilman Starwalt said the job of the.petition would be number one, {
to know who you are talking to. He said this would add creedence to the ¢
petition. �
a
Mr. Garaffa said he was advised by the City Staff to obtain at least 15 • >
signatures when only 10 were needed because some of the signatures would ;
not be valid. Councilman Starwalt said they would not be valid if they are i
not registered voters. He asked if something was wrong with the system of �
validating signatures.
F
Councilman Starwalt said a filing petition is a very serious matter, and
there are other petitions that people do not take so seriously.
` Councilman Starwalt read a portion of the changes on Page 5-I of the agenda
and said if no one challenges the signatures, they are considered valid.
Mayor Nee said they would have to be signaiures of registered voters.
Councilman Starwalt said the voters do not have to register until election
day
Mr. Garaffa said people who sign petitions are not necessarily bad guys.
Ne said this is the only regress action that can be taken if the governing
body would�act against the public wili. He said a showing is obtained
.- by the petition, and this is gi•ven to the Council to indicate they are
doing Something wrong. He said this is done in a fine American manner by
people going out and talk�ng to their neighbors and getting their signatures
to back some action. Ne said this petition is brought to the City Council
to say "see you have the wrong idea�'. He said circulating a petiti'on is
hard work and takes a great deal of time. He said this is done by people
who care. He said he had thought that an extra penalty was being applied,

but if th9s was a lesser one, perhaps the remark should stay.•
Councilman Starwalt said if the petitioners believe in their cause, tfiey
should know who is signing the petitions.
�° Mayor Nee directed Councilman Starwalt's attention to the portion of the
City Charter that says the signatures must be those of registered voters.
• . � Mr. Richard Harris asked what type of petition this referred to.
' Councilman Breider said this would befur initiative, recall and referendums.
• Ma�tor Nee said this may be discriminatory. He added there is no penalty
'�, � for fra.ud in other petitions. ' '.
Mr. Richard Harris said the Planning Commission had just received petitions
with people signing both petitions for and against the same issue. He
questioned if this type of petition should also be cleared up.
• Councilman Breider said if the Council would receive thousands of signatures,
,, . it would not.make much sense to�argue about which ones are valid. He sa.id
this petition,with the amount of signatures,should be an indication that
the�Council siiould think twice. He questicned if they should get hung up
. on the fact whether John signed for his wife or not. He said he did not
think this was being fair to the community. "

,
�
Counc•ilman Starwalt said he was not trying to knock down or out a number
of valid signatures; he did not think this would affect the amount they
would receive. '
Councilman Breider said he would like the petition signing and validating
procedures something that would•be simple to prosecute if the City Attorney
has to do this. Councilman Starwalt said they wa�ld have to be realistic.
Councilman Breider said'the potential is there, but it will take three
votes of the Council to rebuke it. Councilman Starwaltsaid if a paper
came with no valid signatures and no one opposed it, it could be determined
a valid petition. Councilman Breider said he did not think this had to be
defined any further in the Charter.. He mentioned the City Clerk's roll
in validating the signatures and said he thought it would be more appropriate
to give the petition circulators a list of the items to be aware of before
the circulation of the petition. He said the same thing was done with the
people filing for Council that should be done when other petitions are
circulating. He suggested a pamphlet be made up to describe the process.
He said he thought this would have to be a policy thing rather than within
the City Charter.
Mayor Nee said they should consider the emotional hazzards circulators
could face where it could be possible to become mouse trapped. He mentioned
if someone else knowlingly signed a petition falsely, the circulator would
be responsib7e and prosecuted, not the person who had signed. May.or Nee
sa'Id the signature of a spouse is valid if it has beeri authorized. He
mentioned it is better to r.ot take the spouse signature because the
authorization is hard to validate. He said there are other irstances w�iere
a signature is not accepted as valid because the people do not sign as
they had on their. signature card. Mayor Nee said this is reasonably hard
to get the signatures validatPd in some instances because if there is a
petition being circulated, it'is because the majority of the Council is
opposed. Mayor Nee said he thought the idea of the pamphlet wae a good
one. He said he did not know if any people wanted to do a defective job, but
t�ey'do make mistakes. He said if the idea is to teach the people the
proper process, this could be done by means of�a pamphlet and in the pamph-
let it could be mentioned that it is a misdemeanor. He said eve'n if
there is some problem, all the petition would do is ask for an election and
the people would still have to be registered voters.
The City Attorney said the language recommended in the Charter recommendation
does not state "knowlingly", and he thought a judge wou7d look at the charge
determining if it was an honest mistake or done knowlingly. He said he did
not kpow if he would recommend•adding this language but mentioned tBe
Yiolation would have to be fraud or gross negligence,
The Finance Director asked if this could be changed by the Charter Commission.
The City Attorney said it could be sent back to them notifying them of what
had not been approved by the Council, and they could make changes or send

CONSIDERATION OF AGREEMENT FOR APPROVAL OF RICE CREEK ESTATES AND RICE
CREEK ESTATES 2ND ADDITION:
• The Public Works Director recalled the Council's attentian to the
meeting of several week's ago when the developer of these additions had
come to the City Council questioning the escrow policy of the City.
He said the developer and the staff had worked out an agreement where
he does agree to pay for the storm sewer construction with the under-
standing that he will be given credit for.the projects that will be
constructed and that are being constructed. The Public Works Director
read and explained the points in the agreement.
Councilman Breider questioned if the $3,500 would be enough for the future
projects in this area. The Public Works Director said he could not say �
at this time. He said this amount would .result in the cost of more than
$8.00 per l00 square feet. He said he could not say for sure that this
will cover the costs. . "
The City Manager said he could an•swer yes with the only exception being
' time. He said if construction costs do not increase too excessively,
there wi11 be no problem. He said the agreement is quite complete, and
this is a better way of handling this type of agreement. He said the
assessment or escrow rate would be the highest in the City. He said the
administration is reasonably sure that this will be adequate.
Councilman Fitzpatrick said if the assessments are greater, the Council�
can always assess. � •
: Councilman Breider asked what would be done in the future storm sewer.
� The City Manager said there will be the outlet to Moore Lake. He said
now the policy is that all new development will be assessed at this level
and the existing property would be leveled at a rate according to the
benefits received.
Councilman Breider asked the City Attorney if there would be anyproblem � '
\ in this proposal. The City Attorney said not as he understood it. All
new developments were to escrow $8.00 for 100 square feet, and any work
would be credited to this $8.00. He said any assessments would also be
' credited against it. The City Attorney said he agreed in principle with�
what is on page 23.
� MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to authorize the execution of the agree-
. ment for the approVal of Rice Creefc Estates and Rice Creek Estates

Mr. Nick Garaffa asked if the home purchaser�tiil have,to pay the developer

� PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JULY 14, 1975
Page 17
RESOLUTION N0. 120�1975 - IN OPPOSITIQN TO RULES AND REGULATIONS OF
MUNICIPAL SHORELAND MANAGEMENT ACT: ' •
The Public Works Director explained the proposed resolution to be i
opposition to the Shoreline Management Act. He said there will be
public hearing on the matter on July 16, 1975, and �he material had
been reviewed by the Planning Commission and Environmental Quality
Commission. He said the Planning Commission had some concernd abou
the proposal.
�Councilman Breider asked if thls was being adopted by the Departmen
of Natural Resources,and the Public Works Director said y.es.
Councilman Fitzpatr.ick said this would shift the burden of proof to
City.
The Public Works Director said they neglected the developed City When
formulating the plan. The Public Works Director said it should be left
up to the•City to designate a publ�c body of water. '
The Public Works Director read and exp;ained the proposed resolution
- which indicated that the developed lots in the City would be undersized
and nonconforming lots according to the propos,ed ordinance and will
� cause definite hardships on the utilizations of these lots. Also, the
se"tback requirements as laid out in the proposed ordinance would make all
of the.structures in the Shoreland Management area nonconforming s.tructures
and, therefore, unrepairable if over 50% damaged because of inability to
meet the proposed criteria. He also explained that the provisions are
discriminatory against low and moderate income persons unable to afford
the property due to increased lot sizes. He also mentioned that the
ordinance shows lack.of coordination of other State Agencies by establish-
. ing a number of rules and regulations requiring municipalities to adopt
a set of conflicting zoning requirements. Mr. Sobiech explained that
the ordinance is unrealis'tic to set up a variance procedure for some-
thing that would require a variance in al.l cases. The Public Works
Director explained the City in th� Resolution would make suggestions
for the elimination of these concerns.
MOTION by Councilman Breide'r to adopt Resolution No. 120-1975 in opposition
to the rules and regulations of the Municipal Shoreland Management Act.
Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Richard Harris addressed the Council and said the Planning Commission
has asked that the Resolution be carried to the public hearing meeting
on July 16, and he said he planned to attend.' He mentioned he would be at
. City Hall at 12:00 noon that day and would like a Council representative to
accompany him. Counci1man Fitzpatrick said he wou�d be able to attend
the meeting.
MO7ION by Councilwoman Kukowski to make Councilman Fitzpatrick the �
official representative of the Fridley City Council at the Public Hearing
concerning the Shoreland Management Act. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt.

SUBJECT: ISLANDS 0� PEACE FINANCING .
DATE: AUGUST 14, 1975 �
I talked to t9r, Langenfeld regarding the Islands of Peace
Committee's financing plan, Mr. Langenfeld will try to have
.a report to the Council for their Rugust 18, 1975 meeting.
The I'slands of Peace Committee will�also be meeting on the
18th of August. They will try to send a representative to
the Council meeting in. addition to making a written report.
Mr. Langenfeld was of the opinion that with the $1,320 the .
City has on hand in the Is�lands•of Peace Fund, the Islands
�of Peace Committee ►NOUId 6e able to corr� up with the diffe rence
. bet�Neen the $1,320 and the $3,360 interest due August 20, 1975.
I have the feeling they did not actually have all of this money
on hand at the present time. They have part of it. Mr. Langenfeld
stated they may employee a professional fund raiser to try to raise
the necessary funds for future years.

CITY OF FRIDLEY
AFFTRMATIVE ACTION PROGRAM
DEFINITION OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION
�.
Affirmative action is a detailed analysis, by job classification, of the
present utilization of personnel and an articu1ation of deficiencies in regard
to the employment of protected classes. An affirmative action program is a
very specific, aggressive and pragmatic plan to change and/or remedy any manage-
ment practices which have had the effect of producing inequities in the employ-
ment process.
Affirmative actian is specifically directed at the effects of management
practices rather than at the motives or intent behind these practices. Inequi-
ties in the employment process, or discrimination, have been interpreted by
the Supreme Court, as being "...the consequences of employment practices no�
the motivation. Therefore, the relevant consideration is whether the effect
of a particular practice is to exclude a disproportiona�e number of persons
i'n a statutorily protected class. If so, the practice is proscribed, absent
a showing of business necessity."
' � Affirmative action signifies a positive, continuing result oriented program
developed by_an employer to assure meaningful emp1oyment opportunities to all
segments of the community from, which its personnel is drawn. It requires the
�aggressive identification and elimination of those barriers which have had
, the effect, however unintentional, of denying equal employment opportunities
to protected class members. In addition, specific goals and timetables for,
� the employment of inembers of protected classes must be formulated and these
goals and timetables must be realistic and achievable.
r
'
�
�J
�J
ij
�!
�
'
A goal (unlike a quota) is a numerical objective, �fixed realistically in
terms of the number of vacancies expected, and� the number of qualified appli-
c�nts available in the relevant job market. Thus, if through no fault of the
employer, there are fewer vacancies than expected, there is no need for sanction.
The employer is not expected to displace existing employees or to hire unneeded
employees to meet the goal. Similarly, if the employer has demonstrated every
�good faith effort to include persons from the group which was the object of dis-
crimination into the group being considered for.selection, but has been unable
to do so in sufficient numbers to meet the goal, the employer is not subject
to sanction.
Under a system of goals, therefore, an employer is never required to hire a
person who does not have qualifications needed to perform the job successfully;
and an employer is never required to hire such an unqualified person in prefer-
ence to another applicant who is qualified; nor is an employer required to hire
a�less qualified person in preference to a better qualified person, provided
that the qualifications used to make such relative judgments realistically .
measure the person's ability to do the job in question, or other jobs to which
--1-
'
,
'
�
'
R
the�individual is likely to progress. Unlike quotas, which may call for a
preference for the less qualified over the better qualified to meet the numerical .
requirements, a goal recognizes that persons are to be judged on individual ability
and merit hiring. Affirmative Action goals are set on the basis of expected
vacancies and anticipated availability of skills in the market place. These gaals
should be met if there is a protected class applicant who is best qualified for an
available position. If the employer does not meet the goal, that failure should
be justified.
Affirma�ive action results in a more effective and efficient utilization of the
available workforce and present employees. -Therefore, a sound, detailed affirma-
tive action program is good management that benefits the employer, the employees
and the community.
' The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission defines the following groups as
protected classes: Negro, Oriental, Native American, Spanish sur-name Americans,
Women--all races, and persons subject to special obstacles in employment such
� as the physically disabled, persons dependent on welfare and the employable
mentally retarded.
�
' II. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION POLICY STATEMENT

to public assistance unless proven to be a bonified occupational qualification.
' In furtherance of this policy, the,City of Fridley establishes an Affirmative Action

Our agency has received a total of �340$ from the Go�rernorPs Office of
Economic Opportunity for the purpose of ir_�tituting an energy program
which�would, in some way, cut down on.the cost of energy. In order .
to receive this money, we have had to pravide some type af local
match. The coiznty has been kind enaugh to allocate $3 , 000 wor.th of
employee time. Our plan is to buy insulat:i.or.� svpplies with federal
money and to use county empolyees to inst�.l� these supplies initially-
in the homes of coun-�y senior citizens. �
The only requests we would make of those fama.lies would bet� 1) That
they have the potential of making �r_luntary_�cont.ributions ior �he
supplies 2) That tlzey provide us`�•iith=info:r�u��tion.._concern:in their -
curr�ent hPat?ng hill and their heatin� bills a year from now �So tha�
we have some idea of what, if an�; riion:e�r—has been savedo
I am sure you realize that $31�0$ will not go very far towards the creation
of an energy program. I have estimated that the average cost to insulate
a house will be approximately �170. This mean.s that we should be able
to insulate 20 area houses. ti�Ihat X am suggestyng to various communities
throughout the county is that they prov:ide us a small amount of cash,
to aug*�ment the initial grant. In the case of Fridley this figure
would amount to $$50 (to insulate 5 house�). This, money would be
used to�.tally for Fridley residents. : ,, :
2 t,rould be grateful if youu would consid,er funding i;his proposal �as it
is my feeling that many disadvantaged are undergoing severe economic
strain in order�to pay their heating bills. Z would gladly try to
an�s��ver any c�uestions the council members may have. I appreciate your
ta�ne and consiaeration. ,

Mr. .C1 ark sa� d that Jerrold Qoardr�an r�et wi th Mr. �Sexter earl i er i n�the week,
and he was presenting to the Planning Com;nission, the plat plan that had been agreed
upon at that��eting. Mr. Clark revie�ved the building permi.t stipulations. fie said
there m�ight be some slight changes in the grading because ane of these units urill
have to meet �.he handicap requi�r.ements, and will have to have a ramp. He said that
staff recommended that the Planning Commission and Councii�approve the plan as revised.
Mr. Drigans ask�d if t.here.vaas more detail an.what the complex would look like.
Mr. Sexter said he thought this 4v.ould be a.nice addition to Fridley and that
he had given Mr. Clark a copy af the exterior-development of �:his property. Mr.
Clark produced the copy and this was shown to the Planning Commission. Mr. Sexter
said he did not have the elevations as yet, because in order to meet the handicap
requirements, he tivould either make a walk out unit at ground level or have a ramp.
He said this was a provision that would have to be met before the building permit
would be issued. Mr. Sexter continued that he woul'd place a redwood fence on the
East side which would act as a bu�f�er to the adjacent R-1 property.
Mr. David Harris asked Mr. Sexter if this was a center hall type building. Mr.
Sextei° sa�d i t was wi th a front and rear entry. There woul d be -L-wo fl oors �vi t;h
four unii;s on eacf.� floor. The loG�er floor on the rear of the building would be one
bedroom units. He said there would be an engineering room and a laundry room. Mr.
Narris said W1tI1 the type of buil�iing he �vas proposiiig, would he agree to have this
a security type huilding. Mr. Sexter said f�e had planned to have this. Mr. Harris
said tha� he would then have no o6jection to this be:ing a stipulation. Mr.� Sexter�
said he did not.
Mr. Scott asked Mr. Sexter if he was a member of the Minnesota Apartment Owners
, Association. Mr. Sex�;er said he was not. He said he had owned this lot in Fridley
for-five years, and that he had done a lot of building in Fridley. He said that he
had put.in Polk Street; and he had built apartments in othe�� communities, He said he
t{lought he would be going into semi=retirement and he would keep this building for
'. himself. He said he only had about three.sites left to build on, and he was anxious
� to complete this building, as he already had a mortage Commitment so he didn't antici-

, i�1r. Scott said the reason he had asked the question was because the Minneapolis �
Tenants Union had asked the Cii;y for some money as an arbitrator'between tenani;s and
landlords, and the ��1innesota Apartment O��Jners Association felt they provided a simi-
lar service. �1r. Sexter said he didn't have a lot of rental property, other than so�i�e
small units. Mr. Scott asked him if he had any fieelings about this /lssociation. hir.
Sexter said he hadn't been too involved in this aspect because up to tM11S time he
had just been involved in tF�e cons�;ruction of rental unii:s: �
•Mr. Lai�genfeld asked if the s�:orm s,ewer system on Ironton would be able to
handle �;he draina�e oF this property. Mr. Clark said it could as there was a catch
basin down by the Creek. There wouldn't be that much drainage from this property anyway.
-" Mr. Dt�igans ask.ed if th� parking spaces were adequate. Mr. Clark said this �
proposal n;et the code requiremeni;s as to size of lot, parking spaces, size of units
and all the zoning requirements. Mr. Sexter said th� plans would be drawn up�by a
certified re�istered architec�L. .
MOTION by Dav?d Ha.rris, seconded by Lindbl�d, that the Planning Commission
recommend approval of the bui.�ding perrrit for an 8 unit ap.artment building at 8201
East�River Road, b� Donald Sexter, iaitl� the four stipulations on the staff report,
plus a fifth stipulation that this be a security building. Upon a voice�vote, a11-

Mr. Clark said that the office. building was �losest to 73rd Avenue, then they
have a Research and Development build�ing, and then.their industrial plant. This
addition will be to the industrial plat, adjacent to and.north of the present structure.
Along ��vith this addition, they are going to provide a. parking lot east of, and includ-
ing the R& D building and rnanufacturing plant. This was an ex�;ension of their present
pat°king. He said that in their discussions with Carter Day, they brought up some
things that the City had l�een questioning for a cou.ple of years, one,question�.being
the storage of material on proper�y .they do not own. Carter Day has said that they
have an agreement �aith the Minnesota Tratisfer Railroad to store that material on
their property�on a�30 day rental basis. 4Je also pointed out that we weren't too
ha��py ��Jith the way the trees looked•that had been planted as a buffer to LoGke Park
on the south property line. Upon inspection, it was found that these trees were
si:ill �liviny, and one of thest�pulations was that these trees be reviewed for their, �
growth in three years. P1r. Clark reviewed the'6uilding permit stipulations. He
said the first stipulation meant that they didn't want the natural screening removed
to make a stor�ge area. Mr. Clark said that on the third stipulation, there was no.
Iproblem with the sc�cond'part of this stipulation, but 'they have asked the.staff to �`
waive tfje st�ipulation for curbing along the existing p�arking lot, along the south �:
side of the structure. The reason for tfiis was that the person 4vho either built the �
�b«ilding or pu� in the blacktop, has them at about the same grade, so if a curb was `'
placed in this area, it could cause drainac�e problems back and.into the building. It ��
was obvious that this could be a problem. The staff did not feel that they could �
waive this requirement, �nd told the petitioner that in order to have it waived they F

would have�to appear bef'ore the Appeals Commission�requcsting a variance, stating
•why this v�as a hardship. He said the staff had added a Gth stipulat�on v�hich was to �
provide �:he City ��aith the agrcement wi1:h Minnesota Transfer showing us �;he authority
t��cy have to use this land for n�onthly si:orage.
Mr. Clark sa�id tne plant addition would be an extension of the same architectural
a�ork �;hat �-�as on the exis�:ing building. f-ie said he had almost finished the plan
check, and they do me�t i:lie sta�;e bu�i 1 di ng code wi th a few mi nor changes .
Mr.. � Langenfel d sai c� i;hat i t s�:ated i n the /�dmi ni s trati ve Staff Report that wi �;h
the plant addition, there ���ill be an additional 127 parking stalls vrhich ���ill tie
into the existing parkinc� for the o�ffice �acilit�ies. Are you sayiny that.the old
parking area wouid be us�d by e���p1oyees and the additional 127 parl%ing stalls would
be useci for the off�ice facilities? Mr. Clark said��no and at the present time they
are using what 4��as their first parl<ing lot as a storage area, �Jhich lies west of
the structur�. Ihey are presen�Lly parking any place they can find, which was most
in a field-like area. This addii;ional parking ar�a will give them a hard surface
parking lot anci will �e in excess of what they ��rill need for the manufacturing
plantg so.it can be used by the o��fice too. h1r. �angenfeld asked the square i=ootag�
of th-e �r.operty where tl�ey v:ould have the 127 stalls. f�r. C1ark said i� vaas 150 feet
by.250.�eet, which ��rould be 36,�00 square fee�, give or.take a little. "�r. Langeni=eld
said this ��ras the area which ���as just sand and ��reeds now. He said that there seemed
to be some v�Urk going on at this site right noGV. Mr. Clark said they were just doing
�some grading. '
h4r. Qrigans asked I�ir. Clark if the� ravr matet°ials and finished products bei�;g
stared on this property caused any type of hazard. Mr. Cla�°k asked if he meant if
the children climbed on �hem, then they could be a hazard because �;he material was
about 15 feet {ii gli . P�r. Dri ga.ns asked i f vJhen the fi rst bui 1 di ng permi t was i ssued
if outside storage ti��as allowed.. P�ir. Lindblad said� he remembers handling thi.s at
Quilding Standards and becausc of the size and weight of the storage, this was
allov�ed, with screening. hir. Qrigans said that because of the proximity to the par{:
and a residential ai�ea ���as the reason for his question. Mr. Clark said.he hadn't
discussed this ���itl� Cat�ter-Day, but he had discussed vandalism. He said they stated
ihat they didn't have much vanda�lism and�he assumed that this was because of the
size and weic�ht of the material being stored, also.
Mr. David Harris said he �,�asn't advocating another ruadG-�ay in this area, but
he was.��ondering if the Engineering Department had given any thought to the area
between University and Hir,h��lay ;�65 for access, if necessary, to the park. He said
he was bri ngi rig ��;hi s up at thi s tiii�e was because. there vaas only one devel opemnt i n thi s
area�, and there was a lot of empty space be�.ti��een Carter Day and the Target Warehouse.
Mr. C1 ar4�. . sai d 1;iie �ray ti�e parki ng �vas 1 ai d out for Locke Park, there was a
parking lot on either end and thcre wzs public right of ��ray to both parking lots.
Ne�didi�'t think they intended to expand the pa��king area, so there wouldn't be any
need for mare access. . � �
' Mr. David' Harris said there were people in the Melody Manor area who had no
difficulty walking to the parlc at this time, but �vhen�there was further development
in this area, at some point in time, they would be cut off from this access.� They
will then have to go all the way doivn the service drive and get access in the area
of the.City garaqe,�or all the way down to the east end of the parcel to get access.
h1r. Clark said this ���as a very good ti�ought, but any acce5s should probably be more
centrally locatcd �nd would be east of the Carter Day pro�erty. Mr. Harris said he
thought some thought should bn given to i:his now, so that thTS area doesn't become

hir. Clark said thc pe�:itioner was before the Planning Commission and Council

He poin�;ed ou�; on the plot plan where ti�ere will be berming, landscaping and a

Mr. Clark reviei-;ed the bu�ildiiig permit stipulations and said they vJere basically
abou�: i;he screening as sho�,�n on the plot plan.
Mr. Lai�gcnfel� said he ��JOUId apprec�iate a b�tter definition of solid screening.
Mr. C1ar!< said that in this instance it �,as a slatted chain link fenc�. Mr. Langenfeld
said he t•rould like the administrative stafi' report to state vdhat type.of solid screening

Mr. Lindblad said that he vaas never very happy 4yltil slats in a chain link fence.
� He said tiiey looked goad �Frhen they were first slatted, bu�; in a short time they 4�rere
in �oor repair and didn't seem to be maintained. Mr. Clark said there was a section
in ihe City C�de on the maintenance of.blacktop, landscaping and fences. P�1r. L�ndblad
asked how this 4;�as policed, was�it mostly by citizen complaints? Mr. Clark said that
� this was basically true at �the present time, because the staf� didn't have the time
to go around looking far coGe violations, but that �hey hoped to be using some CETA
people to start settiny up programs so that.tve can visit facilities in the City
, perioclically, at least once a year, to remind them of things that need to be repaired
or maintained. � . �

3. f'rovide sc�°eening for residential area �along West propert.y line.
� Mr. Clark said.this item appears three times on the agenda because it requires
tht°ee different �ctions by the City. One is the building permit, one is�a lot split,
which will move �;he lot lit�e to a�more southerly location, and the other was a request
to vacate the exising drainage and utility easement that exists on the present property
line. � � . ��
� Mr. C1arE: said tl�e st7pulations related more to updating the present facilities
as far as curbing on the existing parking lots. He said the new addition wil.l be
just a little higher than the existing structure. Mr. Clark said the petitioner was
aUle-to purchase sonie property from the North Suburban Hospital District which �tiill
make their lot more rectangular and wi11 allow i:hem to meet all 1:he code requirements
for the addii:ion. ile said the N.S.H.D. was in favor of the lot split and vacation
requesl; and had signed tP�e application, so they must be in 1'avor of the praposal.

Mr. Clark said that when someone comes in for art addition, we try to sit down
tvith i;he developer or owner of�the propert:y and be as harsh as we think we can be,
and Y�t be as lenient as we feel we can be, wi�:hout jeapardizing the City's thoughts
and goals in getting all these things done,and quite often the pei:itioner wil�l a.gree
to do tivl�at the City rcquests if �,�e will agree to certain dates. He said that if Mr.
Harris was asking what.ti��ould happen ifi these dates �•�ere not met; he thought they would -
have to cross that I�t�idge at tha�;�tim�. He said tnere should be some goals and objectives
set.up so we could handl�� this. He said thai when the City se�:s up certain�comple�;ion
da�es for improvements, and these �Neren't met, but would be in a reasonable ti���e, he .
thought the staff cou1d handle this, but if they need an extension of months or a year,
the�n {�erhaps th�y should havc to appear before the Council and s�;ate publicly why they
couldn't meet the schedule and get Council approval�of the time extension. h1r. Harris
said he thought this could be a solui:ion. ��1r. Clark s•aid this shc�uld apply to a11

and a map in the agenda c�;plaining 1:he part of this easeir�ent that V�ad to bE re�ainc�d.
tY1r. C1 ark con ti nued �tf�ai: 'i.he Engi nee��•i ng Depa��tru_� �t had no obj ecti on to 85. 31 of
thi s� easem�nt bei ng vacateci on Lot 6, a1 ock 1, C1 ark's i�ddi'c�i an, bui they ���oul d
need the balance of this easement to lirie up vaith an easeme�t i;hey vaould need �o
follo��l the iVor�;h-South bot�ndaries of Lot 75 61ocS; 1; C1arF:'s Adcitio��, and Lot 8,
Qlock 3, d�1oorc Lake Par•k lst Addit�ion. He said the mapsh�iA�ed �chat the-exist���g �ja�age
did ei�croach ii�to the G foot easement. By retaining part o1= th-is easement, a Very-
small portioi� of the garage �4�as sti11 in the easement, but the recommendai;�on ���as i;o
a11o�-� this very small portion �Lo encroach into the easement.
Chairir.an Harris asked if the Engineer•ing stafr'� was recoi>>m�nding i;hat the G foot '
easement on the f�orth boui�da��y of Lat 7 be vaca-�ed also. hir. Clark said there 4vasn't
any recommendation, just that if it �f1as vacated, to be sure the same part o.+•this
easemcnt was retai ned a.s on the South si de .of Lot 6. f�9r. C1 ark sai d i;here vrere no
ut�i 1 i ti es i n tf�i s easen�en�r, they ��tGntEd to retai.n , but i f ihey have 1 ooked at the
area, they ���ould be aware that there ti�aas a lo��� spot I�arth of Lot 8, and. Eas�: of Lot
G, and it must trap water. If the people in the area should ever petition the City
tq dra:in that lo��r area, we would have to�have an easement to get a storm sewer bac4;
into this area, and feel that �Lhe logical alignment would be betwe�n Lots 7 and 8.
P�r. Drigans said he could see no purpose to keep�the 6 foot easement on the
North side of Lot 7, if the easement was vacated.on Lot 6, except for the part needed
for a potent'ial storm sevrer easement. A ha1f af an easement wasn't good for anyth.ing.
Mr. David Harris said he agreed with Mr. Drig'ans. •
Mr. Kok asked if i:his small arnount of his garage that ��rould be allot•red to encroach
in this ease��}ent would cause him proble«�s if he wanted to se11 this �roperty. He
tfiouyf�t he s(�ould� get something i"n writing tha1: the City would a11ow �his encroachmcnt.
Mr. David Harris said what Mr. Kok was questioning was that
was done on'tl�is property, prior to selling it, he might have a
said this could be handlcd by a letter or a Council resolution,
were many ��ays of handling this.
Mr. Clark said �:his could be put in the staff report.

hir. Clark said thet��e we��e 8 1ot�s in the pr�posed pla�, a��c! they all r�ee� all f

' An easement mus� be granted bet��reen Lo�ts 4 and 5 of the pt�oposed p7at, �o a11ow th�
seG,�er to be brought out �:o serve �he 'cwo houses that face East River Road, and also
allow the ��rater rnain to be looped out to �the main �on East River Road, to ensure prop�r
water circula�;ion of the ��ra�:er system. Qack in the previaus approvals, i�t 4,�as noted9
� and i t i�,�as s�i l l true, �ha-t o�;her ri gf�t of �-�ays are necessary to get access to thi s
. plat., We not•J have on -Filc, a 25 foot easeiY�en1; on Lot 31 for street right of way, bu�;
we have nothiny on file on Lot 34 to give the ather half of i;he dedication, or to �
'� provide adequate right of way to bring tl�e street.in from Riverview Terrace for public
access to another public street. 7he Council had previously authorized the negotiations
for .these ri g4�t of wa,ys , but unti 1�ti�e have a pl at prob��bly on ri 1 e, the Ci ty, i f i t
�spent any money, wouldn't fiave a�roject to assess.it to, and that H�as one of the reasons j
�these right of ways hadn't.been acquired. �
� � Mr. Clarl; said that the Engineering Department had lool<ed at this pla�;, and has �
said that it �vas feasible to serve �.t with se��,�er Und water, providing tl-�e righi: of i

School, and he had recalled some of the original conversations, and there was some � ��
' dilenmia �ack iil previous approvals as, to ���heth�r the access should go out to East �
River.Road, or.ou� to Riverview Terrace, or both. It was tl��e consensus of the staff, F
� Planning Coi�m�ission, Streets & Utilities, and Council, that t;he access should be to ���
� Riverview Yerrace, and not go out to East River Road, because this was a blind inter-

ii�im qu�i�;e honestly and franhly that they probably wouldn't be pui: in until next
spring, because i;here are hearin�s on the plai; si:ill necessary, and af.ter that there
v�ill be hear�ings on the improvements and the acquisition of the right of t��ays. Ile
said ii: may be �;�ell for the netitioner to try and acquire some of these right_of
trays.becai�se he could negoiiate, because the City v�as now put in the position by
a neF�r Staie 1 aw �vhere f;h��y have to offer what the 1 and was vrorth by i;he square foot.
He said �he didn' l: �;hinN: there ���ould be too much trouble gaininy sorne of �;hese
right pf �-days because there ��rere houses located on unimproved streets. The exception
���ould be i:he t��ao ho��ses fac�ing Rivervie�•r Terrace, because they v,�ou1d gain.very li-ttle

h1r. Clark said to serve �the plat, seaaer service �, �uld not necessar�ily be put in

made to serve hi s proper��y, h� ��aoul d suggest that he pe�ti ti on the Ci ty for se�,�er

thc�F�e ti�ere other ri gh�t of ���a.ys necessary, thi s woul d a] so come up at the ��'�ari ng. -
��1r. Clark told P�ii�. Hagen that this Evould not come up ��1ii,hout a pe'cition, and Council
liked to have.50% of the people affected by this request, sign the petition.

on what could be built on this plat. f�1r. Clark said the only limitations 4,�ere that �
they be single family hom�s and of a certain square footage. There were no limitations
as to one story, t����o story, or split foyer, and they must have garages. P1r. Clark
said the petitioner ��,�as present, and as he ��ras a home builder, he would probably be
building all the homes on this plat. Mr. Johnson saia there vdou.ldn't be any apar�:ment
buildings going in then. Mr.. C1ark slid the property wasn't zone� far apartments and
the petitioner v,�asn't asking for rezoning. P1r. Johnson said he thought the value of
their property �vould go up if this was devcloped into a n�ce area. • .
Mr. JamesHedren , business administrator for School District #14, said that he _
thought it tvas premature to be talking about righ�; of ways or possible right of ways.

that negotiations would i�ave to start before.the final plat was approved. •

Mr. Gordon Sangster, 7169 Riverview 7e�°race N.E., said he would like to revie���
some.of the t:hings that f�ave happ�ned�beforc this request. .He sa�id he purchased his

It was dei.ermined at that tim� that they would try to work out an agreeable solution
to route the traffic i;o Riverview Terrace, trying to take into consideration the
� opposit�ion to this solution. He said �;his concept had a1ready been��approved by the
Council at least t�vice, and he didn't see any other ��aay this property could be
developed in relation to the lot size and access to these lots. I-le thought what 11ad

Mr. Leif Ifenr�ii:sen said he was the developer of this property and if the access

{�ad been contacted, and none of them have any facilities in these�easements, and have
all stated that they have no objection to.P�r. Hinrici�s �tart'ing construction duriny the .,
time that i t; tukes ta go tl�rough �the vacation process . I-le sai d the reason hc a!a���`i� ;
to start ahead of the vacation process was because b�� the time this c�aas compl�t�, w�- `�
NJ1� I be into late fall or winter. • , , �;r � �
� . ,� .
Mr. Clark said the staff recommendation was that th� easement be vaca�ed, and ��
the Planning Commission also recommend to Council th�t the peti�;ioner be allo�ved to
encroach in this easemen± du►�ing �l;he time it tal:es ,to process the vaca�:ion �°eques.t.
Mr. Qa��id Nari°is asl:ed ho�-r far the house on Lot 5 ���as away from the �property line.

adjace►�t proper�,y o�;fr�e�', t�ir. I-larding, had signed butll the vacation and variance request�.
Mr. I��inricf� said he tried to buy some land from Mr. Harding and ��1r. Harding said he
would ra�:her join in i:h�is request than sell any of his land. , ;
Mr. Clark said he was going to const�ruct an 11 foot addition to his garage and
�� behind that he was going to have a�storage building with a deck on top.
Mr. Clark said as this was a two part �°ec�uest, part of which had to� go to the

witfi Dicl: Sobiech and Uirnil f-lerrick; L`Il� .C1t�/ P,ttorney. I-le said that at that tirne,
a d��Lermination was made that the existing billboarcis ��e��e a non-conforming use and
would only need �;he..Special Use Permit. -

� Mr. Clar(: said he did not know ��rhy he chanc�ed his mind, Uut he I:tie�-� that attorn�ys
coul d fi nd several ways �;o i n�;erpret a 1 al�r, and to be honest i f every bi 11 board f�arl
to have a��ari ai�ce a��d rec;uest rezon � ng an just the proCierty ��,�here the bi 11 I�oard 4-yas
located, �:his �•�ould have beeii very un���ieldy. H� sa�id he was sure 1;hat �:I�e Council
would not want to be put in the posi�t�ion of rezoninc� small pieces of land for �:hese
kiillhoards, so th�is could have b�en part of tl�e cic�terminat�ion. 7i�e attorney may h��ve
fel �; that as 1 on� as the b�i 11 boards al r�acly exi st, and exi sted before ti�ie ordinance
was passed, this would ma{<e .theti�� a legal non-con-ior��ring use, �ut they would still have
to apply �for a S�ecial Use Pei�mit, because this t�ras. what the Code said.
. Mr. Drigan� said the point ��as that these were non-conforming, and v�re have just
gone through tl�is with the Frontier Club, on ho��� long a iion-conforminy use should be
in existence, a►id the courts h�ve ru1Gd how lon� a non-co��fori��itiig use could k�e in
existemce. 7fle caurts have ruled tliat the in�:eni:. of a non-conforming use should expire
at some point in t�ime. Mr. Clark said he thouc�ht that was in qick Sob�iech's meino on
the Frontier Club and was not a court cfecision. P1r. Drigans said �:hcy did receive
mat:erial frc�m i:he City �lttorney,�and tl�ere were rulings by ti�e courts not to string 1:his
ou� �for �,� inclefini�:e period of tirne. �

that these various subconimissions v�ould set up policies that could �e.used by the
Planninc� Co!rmission at a la(:er da�;e, so it may be unnecessary for these to go back�to
a SuLcommiss�ion. This may be a little preinature to think about chai�ging the sign
ordinance until we have experienced what we �,�ere going to e>:perience under the new

Mr. Drigans�said it: �lould be a long process ta chai�ge the sig�} ordinaiice, and he

and the staterient tha'c vJas jus�: made that none of these bil7boards met all of the

�ir. Clark s�id that one observation should be made. and that was that slowly
these I�illboards t��ere being moved out of the City. � As he had s�;ated earlier, a1:
some po�int in tin�e, v,�e shoul�i only' have 5 billboards le�=t in �:he City. Ne said

you can deny. soiT�e, anc� a�prove some, with s�ipula�;ions, or you could t,►ait until they
continue todissolve tl�emsel��es out of i:l�e City, and then take the bull uy tne horns

these, instead of ��,�here therc were 14. tde I<no�v that if titi�e deny all these Special

P�1r. l_angenfeld said tlien the decision before t{�e P1anning Commission vaas to grant
or not to c�rant thes� Special Use Permits.
Chair�ran I-larf°is said he tl�ougl��: ii ►�as a liitle more than tha�. He sa�id he could
see Mr. David !{ai�ris' po�in�:. 6de can grant a Special Use Permit, bu�t along with this
��,�e can atiach st�ipu�la�:ions, and lie didn't �:hink there was anyway that the PYanning
Con,�nission could �limina�;e 14 signs to�noi,ro�-r. This was unrealistic.. Hot��ever, the
Pl'anning Con��}n�ssion can si.ipt�late a�i �:he Special Use Permit such things as maintenance,
rebuild�inq in case of damage, putting in a percentaye figure.
Mr. Lanc�eni�eld said he felt the Special Use Permit was a powerful perii�it, and
' if �ve follo�ved the tl�ings necessary to have one approved, this wou1d help in making
our determinai:ion. Ne said i;hat inconsi'stency would no�: be grounds for denying a

MEMO T0: Nasim M. Qureshi, City Manager
MEMO i'ROh_4: Richard N. Sobiech, Public Works Director
DATE:
SUBJECT:
August 14, 1975
Resolution for Intersection Improvements on TH 47
at Mississippi Street and Osborne Road (St. 1975-4}
Attached please find a resolution received f�om the Minnesota
I�� Highway Department regardi.ng the referenced project. The reso-
. lution, if executed, would indicate that Fridley concurs with the
, preliminary plans for the intersection improvements. 'I'he project
' would consist of channeliZation and signalization improvements
which wauld provide left turn, through tra�£ic and right
turn movements through the intersections on Mississippi Stxeet
� and Osborne Road. Bike l�nes consistent with the'City overall
plan are also provided.
The plans have been revie�aed by the Engineering Division and
�' the following suggestions as pertains to the improvement of
Osborne Road are affered:
�
1
1) The southwest corner af the west frontage road be changeci
to a 40' radius�
2) The sou;:heast corner af the west frontage road he cr�anged to
a 30' radius. :
� 3) The east end of the median on the east side of TH 47 shoul.d
be cut back to allow .proper turning radius into Standard
Oil.
.4) The proposed section along Osborne should be'extended west
to the intersection of Osborne Road and.Commerce Lane.
5) Consideration should be given for the construction of sidewalk
on the south side of Osbarne between Sth Street and TH 47.
It is su�gested that the Council consider the resolution at the
meeting of August 18, 1975 and it is recommended that the resalution
with tl�e above stipulations be authorized for execution. This
would allow the Highway Department to proceed with preparation
of the final plans and cost estimates for the improvement.

Letter of intent to transfer Special Use I'ermit SP �7414 as presently written
and approved, from the name of AZicheal B. Rodder to Vilnis Vilinskis on the
property at 7355 Highway 65 N.E., also.knpwn as Lot 3, Block 1� CEntral View
Manor Second kddition.
The City Cou.ncil shoud note that; �
1. Iiefore the approval of the Central View I'lat, Lot 3 was 329 feet deep where
now it is 509 feet deep. This was effective June 6, 1975. The additional
footage does need to be filled a,nd therefore is not ready for use at the
present time.
2. The sale of this property is subject to the approval of the Special Use Permit
transfer.
I have been advised by the City of Fridley assessor that this operation will
provide approximately $900.00 in additional tax revenue annually over and above
the lot tax. Since the mobile home business is at a minimum in the winter months
our prospective buyer would appreciate rapid decission on this transfer of permit.
I.talked Vrith Uirgel Herrick on August 14, �975 �nd he felt that there should
be no problem as long as the City council approved d'f the transfer.
Sincerely Yours � , � .

as a permanent structure.
Mr. Harris said he understood that sewer and water were already
available on this px'oPerty. Mr.-Drigans asked i� this office was
in the same location where Ame:rican Auto Listings had thcirs. Mr.
Rotter said no, it woul,d have to be extended over to his office
location.
. Mr. Roti�er said he will have seven mobile homes on the site.
He planned to have them eight teet apart, but has room to make them
10 ieet apart, if necessary. Iie said the office will be 24' x 36'.
Eveiythinq within the dotted line will be blacktopped. He said
he would have crushed rock und�r the trailers, ber.ause they damage
blacktop if they are stored�on it. He said they hav� a tendency i.o
sinY., so this is why crushed rock is used. � �
AZr. Drigans asked Mr. Rotter what kind of arrangements he had
made iaitlz'�the propexty owner, would this b� a lease or would h� be
buyii�.g the property? Nir. Rotter said he thought it would he a lease
with option to buy, but they haven't even discussed the lease as yet.
He wai�ted to wait and see if this Special Use Permit would be approved,
and �ahat stipulations would be put on it.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked if this special use was approved, how long
a lease would he be looking for. Mr. Rotter said he th.ought for
about three years. He said he didn't plan to start up thi� business
until spring, because money was tight, and he knew the winter months
were bad months for this business, from experience.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Rotter if he.had a copy of the ugreement
that had beeri drawn up between the City.and anothei: operator of a
mobile home sales. Mr. Roi:ter �said he did. This agreement for
the mobile home sal_es lot at 7151 Highway #65 was discussed by members
of the Planning Commission and the petitinner,and from this discussion
the stipualai.ipns for this special use permit weze det�rmin�d.
Some of the membe��s questioned having a yearly review of this
permit. Mr. Clark said that Mr. Rotter �•rould be expected to spenc�
a lot o� money for the blacktop area, a�zd he would�n' t f�el like
makii�g.a big capitol investment if this permit could be revok�d�in
one year. He thought the �Lerm oi� his l�ase or three years would be
fairer �o the p�i�itioner. Mr. Harris said that this Special"Use Permit
could start from the time the-petitioner signs the lease or purchase
agreemen�t, tiThich ever he has. Mr. Drigans said he wanted this 5pecial-
Use PeLmit tied to the lease or subject to review in three years,
rahich ever was the shortes� length%of time. Mr. Rotter said he had
no objection to this. . •

Mayor Liebl said there are 13 stipulation in the minutes of the Subcommittee.
The City h1anager said these are the Council's stipulations that had been approved
� with the issuance of the special use permit. He-said the Administration would
, be negotiating with the Hospital for the 1ease of some property on �he southeast
corner of the property.
Mayor Liebl said the City is not buying the land, but only leasing it. The
��� City Attorney said there are restrictions against selling the land, it must be
leased by the City.
Councilman Breider questioned the City Manager asking if it was ��is intent to
hold up the building permit until some agreement is reached on the lease of the
property. He said he would want it understood that this was not to be done.
The City Manager said he had talked to Mr. Haines,from the Hospital that day
and he had said he felt this could be worked out.
Councilman areider said he felt this construction was very good for the City
/ and would work out very well. He said he did not tvant the building permit to
be held up because of the agreement on the park. He asked if this was understood.

The Public blorks Director said he had re�diewed this matter and the stipulations
with the staff. He said it was their.opinion with the amour�t of lar,dscaping and
blacktop that had been done, it would be their recommendation that a performance
bond be provided by the applicant for this work. He said if this work is not
clone after a certain amaunt of time, the City would be able to complete the work�
and charge it i:o the bond.
Mayor Liebl asked if this could be done with a written agreement rather than
the performance bond. He asked Mr. Michael Ratter if it would be feasible with him.
Mr. Rotter commented he would furnish an agreement in writting.
Cottncilman Starwalt asked htr. Sobiech if he recommended a two year period of time
and t+lr. Sobiech said he would like this iime to be concurrent with the time.allotment
in the stipulations.
Mr. Rotter explained that he would like some action to enable him to begin prepar-
ation for the final agreement on the property. He said this had not.been leased
at the present time because he was waiting for approval of the Special Use Permit.
Ne said he would not begin this winter, he would.plan to do this work in the
spring months.
N�ayor Liebl expressed the feeling that the Special Use Permit is only effective
for three years and with the stipulations, this would be a great expenditure for
i:his short period of time.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the Special Use.Permit with the 13 stipu-
lations as reconunended by the Planning Commission and that a signed agreement be
furnished for the completion of the landscaping and blacktopping of the area. �
i " The City Manager said everyone else in the CIty has been required to furnish
• a perf�rmance bond, this is a requirement of the City's ordinances. He said it
� would be the Council`s prerogative to waive this requirement in this case.

Mr. Rotter answered he would ask for the Spec� al Use Permit to start upon
' signing of the le.ase, he asked if this would be feasible.
The City Manager again expressed the view that the prrformance bond is required
by ordinance within the City Code zoning requirements.
The City Attorney said the Council should stipulate the amount of the bond.�
The City Attorney said this should be in the amount of the blacktopping �vork.
The Public Works Director said this would be approximately $1,000 to $1,500.
The City Attorney said this would cost the applicant approximately $100 to
$150.

MEMOI2ANDUM
To: Marvin C. Brunsell, Assistant.City Manager/Finance Director
�
From: Virgil C. Herrick, City Attorney ���-Z.�--�
Re: Instructions for Circulating Petitions
Date: August 5, 1975
I have reviewed your memorandum of July 29, 1975,
together with the attached ins.Cructions for persons circulating
.petitions. I believe that the instructions are accurate and
adequat�.
' In reviewing the section of_the charter relating to
recall (Section 5.13 through 5.18), a serious question arises.
Tfie charter provides that a recall petition must be signed by
25 percent of the total number of registered voters. Nowhere
in the.charter does it say that if the recall is for a ward
councilman, the signatures must be of voters of that ward.
The charter does not provide that if the recall election is
for a ward councilman seat, the people eligible to vote in
an election must be within the designated ward.
It would apgear to me that this would be a good item
to refer both to the Charter Commission and to the City Council.
If you are going to present your instruction.circulars to the �
Council for their approval, I would also request that you atGach
� this memorandum and include it in the council agenda when these
items are discussed.
