Mr: Dick Sobiech, Public Works Director, proceeded to discuss the matter st�ting that
this was a request to vacate a certain portion of drainage and utility easement in a vacated
alley located between Elm and Beech Streets. 7he vacataon is requested to allow the
adjacent property ow�ers, Assurance Manufacturinq Company, to expand their facility and,
in fact, their manufacturing operation. Mr. Sobiech further stated that the Planning
Commission held a Public Hearina on the matter and based on such hearing, did recommend
to Council approval of the vacation request with the stipulation that certain�drainage
easements be provided south of the existing property to allow for any drainage to
the adjacent streets. The utility companies were also notified.and they advised that
they had no objections to the requested vacation.
Mr. Dallas Anderson, representative from Assurance Manufacturing was present and stated
that they would like to get started.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to close the Public Hearinq. Seconded by Councilwoman
Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, alt voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried

was not necessary for Mr. Anderson to be present and thanked him for attending the hearing.
OLD BUSINESS:
CONSIDERATION OF A RE�UEST �OR FUNDS TO SUPPORT THE NORTH SUBURBAN FAMILY SERVICE
CENTER T B ED 10/4/76 : •
Mayor t�ee made reference to a letter received from Mayor Geo�ge J. White, City of `
Coon Rapids, whereby he stated that the total anticipated deficit for 1977 would be
$3,306, as a result of the usage by the residents of Fridley at the Nortfi Suburban
r,tiFa�nily Service Center. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that according to the letter,
� the feeling is that the City owes $1,400 in one service and $900 for the Nucleus
Clinic which he felt very stronaly about contributing to. Councilman Fitzpatrick also
stated that he believed the Nucleus Clinic was not a duplicated service in any sense
and apparently the people who use such services do aot have as►other source to use.
He further comnented that the other services deserve support too, however, the total
amount available for such privileges was not very qreat. _
Councilwoman Kukowski stated that she had attended the open house on October lOth and
was very impressed with the'work the Center has been doing; however, she wou}d like
to see the contribution of $1,000 donated without any specific designation. Councilman
Starwalt stated that he had some qualms about the Cit.y becominq involved in public
health fields.• He further made reference to a paragraph in the letter which asks the
City of Fridley to cover the anticipated deficit in 1977 and any future years.
Councilman Starwalt stated that he would like to have it aareed that this be for
1977 and the City of Coon Rapids stand on their own thereafter as he would not want
this to be a continuing canmitment. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he believed
tMe request will contine as long as the citizens of Fridley continue to use the serviees.
Councilman Hamernik then comnented ttiat he discussed the situation with several people
in tfie comnunity and the reaction he received was somewhat along the lines of Councilman
Fitzpatrick -- that the Nucleus Clinic provides a service that the City of Fridley
does not provide and recommended that this service be available for people who want
or need the service and he had no objection to the contribution of $1,000.
MOTIOW by Councilman Fitzpatrick to contribute $i,000 without designation to the North
Suburban Family Service Center. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Uoon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
MR. ED WILMES: REWARD SIGNS FOR POSTING AT ISLANDS OF PEACE:
Mr. Ed Wilmes, 6350 Riverview 7errace, addressed the Council re�ardinq his proposal
for reward signs for the Islands of Peace. Mr. Wilmes stated that witfi all the time,
funds and ef.forts that have gone into the Islands of Peace, he proposed signs be posted
offering a reward for any information leading to the arrest or conviction of anyone
destroying property of the Islands of Peace in a approximate amount of $1p0. If,
however, the City could not undertake the entire amount, Mr. Wilmes stated that there
wouid be an organization which would undertake this if the City would be willing to
match the reward.

He furLher pointed out that he believed the entrance to the Islands of Peace should be
well lighted, and it was time to ask the public to cooperate in any way possible to
prevent the threat of vandalism from happeninq.
Cou�cilman Starwalt stated that he understood Mr. Wilmes' viewpoint, however, whether
a reward would be the best type of inethod to achieve this, he cou7d not fully agree. He
further pointed out that there were people reviewing the sign ordinance. There is some
sign psychoTogy and sometimes signs turn certain individuals to destruction. Council-
man Starwalt stated that he would like to encourage this be qiven to Staff and perhaps
for the Parks and Recreation Repartment to review the matter and be brought back to
the City Council at the earliest opportunity with something that everyone could agree
on. Mayor Nee stated that if it is feasible, it might be worthwh�lein a�� of the parks.
He further co►ronented that the matter would be discussed again when the City Council has
received some feedback from Mr. Chuck Boudreau, Parks and Recreation Director.
NEW BUSINESS:
CONSIDERATION OF FIRST REAOING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE CITY CHARTER OF THE CITY
0 RIDLEY: '
� Mayor Nee indicated he thought they had already had the first reading of this ordinance.
! Mr. Marvin Srunsell, Finance Director, said that the consideration of the ordinance
! previously inciuded everything except the item the Public Hearing was held on this
� evening. Mayor Nee said that maybe this item can be added onto the previous �onsideration
� of the ordinance as an amendment and we can hold the second reading of the ordinance as
� amended. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, said that we checked with the City Attorney's office
j and the thought was that, even though it was not too substantive a change in the Charter,
j it might be better to consider it as a first reading, including all changes, and hold
the second reading next Monday at the next Council meeting, so as to avoid the raising
of any questions of improper adoption of the Cfiarter amendments.
Mayor Nee said there was a section on resoiving in the case of an inconsistency between
two initiated ordinances, and from his point of view, he withdrew his objection to it.
He said it is.still the same problem -- his problem with it hasn't changed, but his
view of whether or not it is serious has changed. He said he could not convince
members of the Charter Commission of his point of view. He said ihat at least for hts
part of it, he agreed to vote for the language as suggested by the Charter Commission.
MOTION by Counci7man Fitzpatrick to waive the first reading and adopt the first reading
of the ordi�ance. Secanded by Councilman Starwalt. Unon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

; KENNETH GASPER LOT SPLIT REOUEST, L.S. #76-08, 5�1 RICE CREEK BOULEVARO:
Mr. Sobiech proceeded to discuss the matter statina that this was a request for a•
lot split to split off certain parcels of proper±y adjacent to the subject property
located at 501 Rice Creek Boulevard. The request is being made by.the petitioner
� in order to make greater use of the adjacent property. P1rs. Kenneth Gasper was
present and Mayor Nee asked Council if anyone had any �uestions, and there were
none. However, Mr. Virnil Herrick, City Attorney, asked Mrs. 6asper if there was
going �o be an exchanne of deeds and she responded that there was.
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to approve the lot split as requested. Seconded
by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all votin� aye, Ma,vor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.

STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1975-3 (EAST RIVER ROAD):
(� Mayor Nee asked if there was anyone present to discuss the matter and Mr. Mike
Paripovich, Member of the Fridley Environmental Cluality Co�iss�on, 8200 East
4 River Road, addressed the City Council. He stated that the purpose of asking for
a moratorium was simply that there was not enou�h information at this point to
� even agree on what is being araued. ATso, more inforniation is needed from so�
federal agencies requiring noise levels and air pollution levels surrounding
; residential dwellings and the purpose of the moratorium is to enable Mr. Paripovich
to qet this informatian tcoeti�er.

Two years ago, the County Engineers had no plan to show him and now they are ready
to`go ahead with a four or five hundred thousand dollar project,and there is a'
good deal of resentment on the part of the people who live in the subject area.
He further pointed out that until his Committee can net a �ood plan together,
one that can test against federal standards and state and county highway standards
as they exist, and until several studies can be made; he and his Committee do not
fieel the City should go ahead and spend four or five hundred thousand dollars.
Councilman Starwalt then proceeded to ask Mr. Paripovich in reqard to his concern
over the.noise levels and poliution levels along Ezst River F,oad, why wasn't he
concerned about Highway 65 and University for the same reasons. Mr. Paripovich
stated thet he was concerned and that this was a matter that could be discussed
in future projects. Hcwever, his Project Committee was set up to study East
River Road. Councilman Starwalt asked, assuminn the noise and pollution fumes are
more than the people desire, what Mr. Paripovich Froposed to do about the whole
three areas and all the traffic thet enters there.
Mr. Paripovich then referred to the East River Road Project Committee report and
as pointed out, tfie Minnesota Hi�hway Department study showed that there will be
approximately 9,000 cars per day on East River Road. This study is based on the
completion af the Georgetown area. He further stated that he believed it would
be in order for the City of Fridley to seek some relief from the traffic pressures
the City has.
Councilman 5tarwalt stated that it was his position that, as nice as it would be
for East River Road, he believed the burden would be put e]sewhere and he felt
that this is simply a problem that all weuld have to live with. Mr. Paripovich
responded that the peopie who live between Mississippi and Georqetown recognize
this fact and were simply askina that their share of ttie probiem not be increased.
Hr. Sobiech pointed out that althounh an improvement shauld be made, basically
the oniy problem the Project Committee and the County and City Staff differ on is
the Co�nittee's proposal for a two lane roadway with medians and shoulders as
opposed to the City and Count,y`s proposal for a four lane roadway with medians and
shoulders. The medians and shoulders are proposed to provide safe access for the
adjacent neighborhoad to aet on and off East River Road.
MOTIUN by Councilmari Fitzpa±rick to approve the.rnoratorium with a thirty day time
limit. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upor► a voice vote� Councilmembers

Mr. Nasim Qureshi, City Manager, theh proceeded to reiterate for the purpose of
clarification and to give some background and reasoninq on the East River Road
project. He further stated that East River Road has been a four lane road for over
twenty years, thereby being a four lane road before a number of the houses were built
in Fridiey. Basically, the interest of the City has been to try to contro] the
traffic on East River Road and make it easier for local traffic to Qet on and o�f
the roadway safely. He further pointed out that presently, the plan has been approved
to be funded by a federal grant and if the City �s ever qoin4 to do any improvement
on East River Road, this would be the right time as the Cit,y could use federal funds
to do the project rather than the local taxpayers having to pay for the project. He
further stated that the chance of losinq the f2deral grant could happen if the project
is delayed. Also, if there are any leqal requirements to be met, such as environ-
mental impact study, it should be done.
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES FOR MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 18, 1976: •
R. TOMCZAK, 999 OVERTON DRIVE N.E.:
� ' _ Mr. Sobiech stated that this was a request by the petitioner at 999 Overton Drive
; for a variance; first, to allow reducing the front yard, and second, to allow a
� variation from the 4' fence requirement in the front yard to a 6' fence as required
� • by the Swimming Pool Ordinance. He also stated that the Appeats Commission did
' j deny the request by a 3 to 1 vote. Mr, and Mrs. Tomczak were present and Mr. Sobiech
asked them if they had reached any aqreement with the surroundinq property owners.
� Mr. Tomczak repTied that they had aqreed at the Appea7s Commissian meeting to go �
along with their request for a swirr�ning pool.

�
� Councilman Hamernik stated that he spoke with several of Mr. Tomczak's neighbors
and although they did not object per se, they were, however, concerned about the
safety aspects of putting somethinq that close to the boulevard. He further
� pointed out that the Appeais Commission did have a similar type request which
�' they did pass without Council input, and there have been some'problems with that;
� and the encroachment on the boulevard was not to the extent as that beinq discussed
now. Counci�lman Hamernik further added that he talked to Mr. Ault and that
� Mr. Ault indicated to him that he did not want to be the one to block this request,
however, he felt there was a concern which was the City's responsibility; that
� being the s�te situation of puttinq somethinn which is essentially in a front yard
; along the street. Councilman Hamernik expressed his concern about allowing
{ something like this because there is a considerable deviation from the plan of
; the area since the requirement on someth�nq like thfs is 35'. Mrs. Tomczak
responded that she felt this was very unfair and that this was the only place
j they could put in a pool.
Councilman Hamerrik stated that he would not be in favor of approving the request
at this time, but he would be open to tabling the matter for further discussion.
. � Councilwoman Kukowski stated that she believed th9s is something that is going
i to come up again and again and suggested that Council get together for discussion
on November 22nd.

�
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to table the matter in arder to formulate and discuss
a policy with the AppeaTs Commission. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
PACO, INC., 7760 BEECH SiREET:
Mayor Nee stated that the Appeals Co�nission recommended qranting one variance,
but not the other variance. •
Mr. Sobiech stated that this was a request by Paco Hasonry for a variance from
buiiding setback and property line setback in order to be al�owed to construct
a speculative wareho.use. He further stated that the petitioner was notified but
Nas not in atteFldance and he did not know why he was not present. There also
dppeared to be some confusion regarding which plan the Appea]s Commission was to
look at. The petitioner had brou�ht in one plan for his application, and at

anOther ti'me he'd brought in a revised one. For.tunately the variance request
was the same -- setback from a lot line and setback from a building iine. The
only problem is that at the meetinq, the Appeals Corraniss�on did not know which'
plan they were really looking at, and so they approved one variance and passed
on the other without recorr�nendation. The Appeals Co�nission did recortunend approvai
of a variance request to use the parkina lot setback from 5' to 3' and they failed
to make recommendation regarding the 5' setback from the property line.
Mr. Sobiech further commented that it was Staff's contention that the 5' setback
requirement to the property lot line be maintained based on the concern they have
for the future development of the block. He also believed that in order to continue
the development of an industrial nature, there will have to be side yard setbacks
for this reason. Also, at this point in time, he would not want to get involved
in the situation where there is a black top parking lot abutting proposed future
buildings. In order to maintain this flexibility, it was requested that the 5' be
maintained and that a reduction in the buildinc� actually take place. Mr. Sobiech
also stated that the petitioner mentioned at the Appeals Commission meeting that
it would be a hardship in that he would not maintain his 40% iot coverage.
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to concur with the Appeals Conanission to allow
off-5treet parking within 3' of the main building and deny the request for
reduction in setback for a parkinq lot from a property line._ Seconded by
Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the'motion carried unanimously.

Dear Mayor Nee:
e
September 20, 1976
��
As you know, Coon Rapids sponsors the North Suburban Family Service
Center which serves as a large part of Anoka County and its immediate
environs. The Ci�Ly of Coon Rapids has consistently subsidized programs
at the Family Center to the amount of an average of $30,000 a year
over and above grants and fees collected .
,
You may not be aware of the degree to which residents of your community
use �the services of the North Suburban Family Service Center. Our
records indicate that 140 Fridley families will have used the counseling
services at the Center in 1976. It is projected that 2��0 of your resident�
�w�il use the counseling services in i977 at a total cost of $5000. Of
that amount, fees and grants will cove r only $3600.
Our records indicate 220 teenagers and young adults from Fridley will
have used the Nucleus Clinic in 1 o76. It is projected that 300 of your
young people will use these Clinic services in 1977 at a total cost of
$4800. Of that amount, fees and grants �vill cover $3�D0. The totat
anticipated deficit for 1977 as a result of usage. by your residents
will be $2300.
We respectfully ask you to cover the anticipated deficit in 1977 and any
ftiture years when grants and fees do not cover the entire cost of services.
In the event that you are not familiar with the services performed at
the Center, may I take this opportunity to invite you, the rmembers of
your City Council and their families to the open house on Sunday, October
10th. The Center witl be open for tours between noon and 5:00 p.m.,
with the formal dedication ceremonies at 2:00 p.m. I hope' that you witl
be able to attend. ,

Our primary reasons for this position are:
l. That the proposed changes would lead to a decline in property
values. '

Public Hearing open, tabled August 18, 1976.
Mr. Jim London with Darrel Farr Development, and P:r. Darrel A. Farr �rere
present.
Mr. $oardman explained that this had been tabled until Darrel Farr Corporation
was ready to go with it, and they were now ready ta proceed. He saic tha� this
was in the townhouse area and they wanted to increase the s�ze of six proposed
single-car garages to double-car garages.
Mr. London showed copies of the proposed plat to the Corunission. He explained
that he and rlr. Farr had mAt with the Innsburck North Townhouse Association
Arch�tectural Control Committee and the Operating Committee of the'Innsbruck
North Townhouse Association, and they had worked out this proposed replat of
the Third Addition. He said that i:heir proposal was to provide 12'doable
gara�;es in Iieu of the 12 single ga_rages that were on the origina2 plat.
Mr. London eaplained that they hadn�t changed the total nuriber of parking
spaces as they had increased the i.nside parking by 12 spaces and decreased
the outside parking by 12 spaces. He said that in thair agreement w�th the
Innsbi•uck Townhouse Association they were moving blocks S, b, 7 and 8 to the
bottom of the page five feet to give a minimum of almost 50' between buildings
for movement of traffic, parking, and so forth. He added they had'also moved
the garages in blocks 5 and 6 so the garage and house would be more in line
and open up the �reen area between buildings. rir. London added th�t they were
�
� Planning Commission rfeeting - October 6, 1976 Page !� 5 C
�
,
going to offer a standard garage door operator to be sold with each garage so
people would use the indoor parking more.
Chairperson Harris asked Mr. London if he was aware of the letter from
Mr. Jerry W. Anderson, Chairman of the Architectural Control Committee, to
the Planning Commission, dated July 20, 1976. P1r. London said he.was, and
that they had had their meetings after that. He explained that letter was
written the first time they had appeared before this Com�nission, and there
were three subsequent meetings after that when this plat was worked out.
Mrs. Schnabel asked if tl:ere would be any outside parking, and u.r. London
replied that it �rasn't shoi,m on this plat, but there would be. �1r. Boardr.tan
asked if units 7 and 8 were moved, and rlr. London replied they had'been r�oved
back from the street. NIr. Boardman stated that Staff had no problem with this
preliminary plat.
� MOTION by Shea, seconded by Langenfeld, that the Planning Cor.unission close
the Public Hearing on consideration of a preliminary plat, P.S. ,�76-05,
Innsbruck North Replat Third Addition, by Darrel A. Farr Development Corpora-
� tion. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Harris declared the
Public Hearing closed at 8;05.
�
�
�
i
Mr. Bergman stated that initially he had some concern about the lack of a letter
in writing from the Architectural Control Committee to mate with the letter
on pa�e It5 0£ the agenda. However, he said, the letter from that Co:L^�ittee
says they have a verbal agreement �,�ith Jim Tondon, and �since rir. Landon now tcld the
Commission they are in accord, he didn't feel the cnncern that a letter��ras needed
for reference purposes. Chairperson H�rris suggested it taould be well to have
that letter for the City Council.
MOTION by Shea, seco:�ded by Bergman, that the Plann�ng Comrlission reco:�ur►end to
Council approval of preliminary plat, P.S� �76-05, Innsbruck North Replat
Third Addition, by Darrel A. Farr Developrnent Corporation: �eing a replat
of Lots 1 to � inclusive, B1oc�cs 21 through 26, Und also part of Lot 1, Block
28, Innsbruck North Totanhouses Third Addition, to allow changes in t'r.e size
of garages, generally located on the West side of East Bavaxian Pass and South
of Meister Road N.E. '
Mrs. Schnabel said that the original request form said to increase the size of
� five proposed garages, and the request was actually for six. A7r. Lon�on said
that was just an error, and it should be si.x. Chairperson Harris suggested
that be cleaned up before the request went to Council. '

UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

distribution of the same number of units in the development, generally
located North of North Innsbruck Drive N.E. and West of the Black Forest
Apartment. �
Mr. Jim London, with Darrel A. Farr Development Corporation, and Mr. Darrel
Faxr were present. ',
MOTION by Langenfeld, seconded by Peterson, that the Planning Commission
open the Public Fiearing on consideration of a preliminary plat, P.S. #76-10,
Innsbruck Villages Second Addition, by Darrel A. Farr Development Corporation.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Chairperson Harris declaxed the'Public
Hearing open at 8;10.
Mr. Boardman stated this was somewhat confusing, and directed the Commission
ta turn to page 55 of their agendas which showed what had originally been
proposed. He showed the Commissioners the new plat and explained what changes
had been made, 2x�d explained the land change would be equal. He said they
had felt that several buildings were too close to the apartment area, so they
were eliminating "B", were switching "A" closer to the cul-de-sac, and putting
wha,t had been "A" back into Outlot C. He stated there would be the same number
of units on the plat, but just in a different location. He added that the
square footage would be adjusted to be equal. '
M::. London said that this had been approved originally for 100 units, and they
now had 96, so there was a reduction. He stated that the land areas would be
an equal swap; neither the Black Forest or Innsbruck Village would'lose any
land.
Mr. I�Iilton Bullock, sci71� Arthur Street, Fridley, asked if he could'see a copy
� of the plat. NIr. Boardman showed Mr. Bullock and other interested residents
the proposed plat and explained it to them.
I Marjorie Phelan, Matterhorn Drive, asked if an IIzvironmental Impact Study had
been done in this area. Nir. Boardman replied that none vaas done, and explained
that the only way they would have been required to do an �vironmental Impact
Study was through a petition, and no petition was dratan up. hls. Phelan said
� , she.knew this was after the fact, but she felt ��hat was being done in that area
was a shame. She asked if the City �f Fridley didn't have any responsibility
to protect, the environment. I�ir. Boardrian replied they did, and it'would have
� been up to the City Council at the time the first plats ca�ne in. He said the
City Council tried to realize some of the environmental problens om this; how-
ever, it would have been difficult when this came through to tell them they
� had to do an environmental statement without the State EQC rules and regulations
to back them up. He added it �aas also pretty hard for the Council'to deny some-
one use of his property, but they could put restrictions on that pr�operty to
be as environmentally conscious of the property as possible. ,
IChairperson Harris stated that the City had spent a lot of time ard!energy, as
did the developer, trying to work out a workable plan to save as many trees
� and preserve the area as much as they could. He explained that they did not
have the tools at that time that they had now to require Dnviranmental Impact
Statements. He further explained that didn't take affect until the first part

Mr. Bergman stated that the history actually went back about 9 or 10 years when
the entire 130 acre site of Innsbruck Pdorth both in Fridley and rlew Brignton
was proposed for rezoning for multiple farnily apartments and townhouses. He
said the people in the neighborhood fought successfully against rezoning
efforts which would have converted the entire acreage to multiple�famiZy.
The people in the neighborhood ��ere in contact with cit�, county, and state
agencies promoting all or part of that area as park land to try to retain its
natural state without success. Mr. Bergman said it was rezoned about ten
years ago for the purpose that the developer now wants, so he felt that the
ecology effort should have been applied 9 or 10 years ago prior to'its rezoning
for multiple family.
Mr. Peterson said that he thought they had to realize that probably everybody
at this meeting who o��rned a home had probably cut down trees to build that
house. He stated it V:as always easy to say that somebody else should preserve
their property in its natural state, and he thought that the Darrel Farr
Corporation had been very cooperative in trying to do all they could to preserve
the beauty of the area. He added that he felt it should be pointed out that
people did have certain rights to develop the property they owned.
Mr. Farr stated that they had done as good a job as they could to maintain
, the land. He sa�d it t�ras costly to develop, and because of that cost the
horrie:; �rere more highl;� priced than comparable homes in other areas. Therefore�
he continued, they had to have some competitive advantage from a business
I standpoint, and that was the trees and ponds. rie added that t;hey clid dedicate
a site to the City of Fridley for park purposes that was larger thsn the site
they were presently developing for tY:e villages.

Mrs. Schnabel asked if the two buildings that were being currently'constructed
on North Innsbruck Drive would ee models. T�Ir. Farr replied that the first two
buildings would be sold. He explained that the first building Vaas intended
to be a model, but since the decision to incorporate double garages was made
along with other arcY�itectural changes of a minor nature, the models would
actually be block 19.
rir. Bullock stated he had a a,uestion cor►cerning the road. He said that at the
last Corunission meeting he attended he understood +he road that would be
constructed between the divisions coming out on Arthur Street would be single
1ane and Frould be angled to the North, and asked i.f this was still the case.
Air. London said the road would be built to the letter of the agreement with
the City of Fridley. ,
5 E.
Mr. Bergman said they had all spent a lot of time at previous meetings concerning
the building plan, street patterns, setbacks, etc., and he was just wondering
how approval of this plan would affect the agreement, stipulations, and negotiated
compromises that were made through the previous process. Mr. Londion said that
the agreeMent stands. He explained they taere not asking for any changes in that
agreement. A1r. Bergman then asked if the request could be rephrased to 1) include
a reduction in density from 100 units to 96, and 2) to merely relocate units
A and B from the previous plat. Mr. London said the only other change would be

the land slot. He showed Mr. Bergman the plat and explained what he meant.
Mr. Robert 7'urek, 5629 No. Danube Road, asked if samewhere in the City there
was a master pl�n that showed the way things were going to be. Mr. Boardman
said they had an over-a11 concept, but it didn�t show where all the buildings
would be. Chairperson Harris said that they would have something on all
buildings that were under constr�action at this time. Mr. �rek asked if he
could__get copies of the letters that had been discussed, and was told he could.
Mr. Bullock asked if the direction of the road ir� question had been drawn

replied that construction plans had not been drawn. Mr. Bullock asked how

opinions, and Pir. Sobeich said the office could just take his name and if he
was interested show him the plans.

Mr. 3oardman explained th.is was a proposal for 13 lots off of a cul-de-sac,
and the lot widtrs at the 35' setbac% were shoi�m. He said that Staff would
suggest a 1ot be dropped to bring it up to what the code requirements were
for lot widths, and also to make the lots more salable.
Mr. Peterson asked if all of the lots met the minirnum area requirements in
terms oi square footage, and Mr. Boardman said he believed they did. He
explained that lot 7 was a 50' lot that had an existing house on it. rir.
Boardman said that they were asking a lot be dropped because although the lots
might meet the square footage requirements, in order to meet the 75' width
on the lot it may be required tc have a setbacx of I�0 or �5 feet.
Mr. Rotter stated that they trere not trying to increase the number of lots
, over the original plan; he said that in this area with the original street
patterns there were the same number of 1ots. He explained the reason for
platting it this way tisas because of the unusual terrain of the property
' and by pulling the cul-de-sac back up they were forced to reduce tne Iots.
He stated they would like to leave these lots as they were buildable.

Chairperson Harris read the following letter to the City of Fridley Planning
Commission from 1�•Ir. Rotter, dated October �., 1976: �
Z7e would like to briefly explain our position in our request for
preliminary approval of Rottlund Oaks.
After study on our part as to the topography of the area and neighbor-
ing property, we felt the majority of this.property would best be
suited for residential construction other than Lots 11, 12 and 13� of
Spring Brook Park, 2nd Addition, �rhich we �aould use as a multi-family
area.
In the past� this property has been approved for a 108 unit apartment
building. The high density use of this land would not be conc�ucive
with the neighboring streets of Liberty and Ruth, which now is single
family homes.
5G
In order for this property to be developed botYi economically and esthetically,
we axe proposing the replatting of the lots as indicated in our applica-
tion and preliminary plat. The number of lots we are requesting on the
replat is the same number of lots on the.original plat. , ,

MOTION by Langenfeld, second�d by Peterson, that the Planning Commission
receive the letter from Mr. Rotter to the Planning Commission dated October
!tj 1976. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carriec3 unanimously.
Mr. Rotter stated that they were trying to utilize the property as economically
as possible, and were not trying to gain anytring out, of the property or pick
up an extra lot. He added that hopefully the purchase of the existing home
would be made by the Rottlund Company. fie said that they were also the awners
of lots 1, 2, 3 and 1� on the South portion of Liberty Street and were building
single family homes on this now. r1r. Rotter said tha�L as far as marketability
went as mentioned by Staf.f, he felt they c��ere marketable this way �.nd wanted
to hang on to all the lots they had.
Mr. Peterson asked kThat Mr. Rotter's plans werz for lot 7 if he purchased the
existing structure there. P�Ir. Rotter replied ilis intention was to'resell� as
there was nothing wrong with the house.
I�Irs. SchnabeZ asked i•rhy he was replatting from the orig�nal plan to the one
presented at this meeting. 2�Ir. Rotter explained that lots 11�, 10, 9 and 8 were
practically unbuildable unless the entire area was filled. �ie saicl the eul-de-sac
would be at the top of a sV:ale line that dropped about 18', and that by pulling
this back up they could leave the majority of tne trees. He explained that
building on East River Road wouldn't be as salable *.•rith the trees gone.
Mr. Bergman said he got the impression that every lot facing the cul-de-sac
was more than 9,000 square feet, and askeci ?�Ir. Boardma.n if he had �necked
' the sizes. ;�1r. Boardman said the lots :aere a11 in excessof 9�000 square feet,
and their consideration would b� that no variances be granted on these lots.
'
�
�
Chairperson Harris asked how far back the houses would be set from the cul-de-sac,
and t�ir. Rotter replieci that on lots 3� l�, 5 and 6 the houses would probably be
back about !�5'. NIr. Harris asked how far back the nouse on lot 8 tiaould sit,
and NIr. Rotter stated that he tirou�d try to blend the houses so it vrouZd look
like a neighborhood. Chairperson Harris explained that the City had an ordinance
concerning average front, yard setbacks which �llowed, he believed, only a
6� deviation. rir. Boardman pointed out that on lot 8 i�1r. Rotter could deviate
' the house back from the one on lot 7� and i;r. Rotter said he could also put
the garage toward the front to bring it clo$er.
, Mrs. Schnabel noted that in the original plan dated back in 1967 there was some
discussion about commercial developnent. She said they were ignoring lots
11, 12 and 13, and asked if r1r. Rotter still intende� to put a commercial area
1 in. Mr. Rotter replied he did not, and explained those lots were for multiple
purpose and not for corimercial.
,
'
'
�
Mr. Howard Dumphy stated he was representing the owners of lot 15 of block 10,
Spring Brook Park, and lo �s 32 and 33 and the ?•yest 30' of lots 3!t and 35, Spring
Brook Park. He said these lots were being purchased by the applicant and they
were willing to go along with the request, but in the event the purchase was
not consuriated they felt the_replatting should not be considered. ,

Mr. Azad P�esrobian, 293 Ely Street N.E., asked for a definition of Planned Unit
Develop:�ent. NIr. Boardman explained that required the developer to bring in a
plan showing how he would develop the property, and the code required the
developer to appear before a Public Iiearing and have complete, complex drawings
of what was proposed. He explained that Planned Unit Development eould include
commercial, residential, ete., in a combination. rir. riesrobian asked how many
of these planned units frere multiple dwellings, and 2�Ir. Boardman replied that
Mr. Rotter was developing the lots off of Ely Circle into single-family homes.
' Mr. Charles Sprafka, 280 Ely Street N.E., stated he wished to commend Mr. Rotter
and Rottlund Company for proposing the movement of the cul-de-sac a�ray from
the street to preserve the beauty of the area.
P�rs. Schnabel noted that Mr. Boardman had. recommended that the petitioner
give up a lot in the proposed plan, and asked�if there was some sp�:cific plan
in mind. N1r. Rotter explained he had talked to Darrel Clark briefly abbut
this. He said that he d�d not t,rish to drop a Iot in the area as he was trying
to operate within the �otal number of lots originally platted. ,
Mrs. Shea asked if lot 5 was 100' wide, and Mr. Rotter said that lot was 75'.
Chairperson Harris asked if the lots would meet the minimum requirements for
width if they were at the Lt5' setback line. i�ir. Boardman replied they would
in all cases except lot �7, where the existing house was, rrr. Boardman suggested
if this proposal was 2dopted thdt they would maintain a setback at some point
where they could build where the lot width was 75'. Chairperson Harris asked
Mr. Rotter i_f he would be willing to agree that the setback would be at Ja5' for
a 75' width. Mr. Rotter replied that it depended so much on the lay of the
land. He said he didn't want to end up pushing the houses back into the area
and defeating the purpose of the cul-de-sac. He added that he would not
request a variance for any of the lots as proposed as far as side yard setbacks.
Chairperson Harris said that the problem h�as they had a platting ordinance
that states that minimum lot width be 75' at the 3�' setback line.' He explained
that if they approved this plat as it was, they were in violation of the ordinance.
NIr. Rotter asked if they were suggesting that a setback be maintained that wauld
give them 75' at the building line, and Nir. Harris said that was correct.
Pir. Peterson said they had heard neighbors commend P-Sr. Rotter for a plan to
save the ecology of the area, and they on the Planning Commission were trying
to force �ir. Rotter to accept a plan that would force him to destroy trees.
Chairperson Harris said he was not sure that was what they were doing. He
stated they required that the location of the buildings be presented before
they approved a Planned Unit Development, so all that work would have to be
done ahead of time. :•;r. Peterson stated he understood that, but they did bend
the ordinances under certain circumstances and he thought that as a Commission
they should be listening to what the people in the audience were telling tYiem
who were neighbors of the developer. '
rir. Sprafka asked if it would be possible to obtain an�vironmental Impact
' Statement that would have precedence over the local ordinance in this case
to waive that requirement, or if something could be done at State level. Chair-
person Harris stated they could handle this as a Planned Unit Development where
' ,

the locations of all the buildings would have to �e presented on a plan, showing
contours and the whole layout before the plan was approved. Mr. Baardman
added that actually the Planning Commission could not waive any of 'the codes�-
but could make a recornmendation to the City Council.
Chairperson Harris said �hat Mr. Rotter could draw the houses on the plat to
see if the setback requirements would destroy the tress or if they wouldn't.
He added that the Commissio� should find out if 1•�r. Rotter felt that the
requarements would work a hardship before they recommended approval of the plat.
Mr. Boardman suggested a motion that would say Pfr. Rotter would at�empt to
maintain the 75' lot width at the building site location,, and taould require
a variance to this if that building location was any less than 75'. He said
-that way ihe Appeals Corunission cou].d look at it, and he thought that in most
cases it wouldn't take the !t5' to get the 75� �aidth.
Mr. Rotter stated he wanted to utilize the property as best he could, and there
were 60' lots in the area where homes had been built. He said tha� if he had
to push the homes back to 50 or 60 feet, it might meet the letter of the law
but it might not be presentable as such. Chairperson Harris said that perhaps
he should determine where the 75' lines were and sketch in a rough'd�elling size
and see how exactly they would fit in on the lot. i�ir. Rotter said'he kould
consider that, but he had already done the North section of the area without
fol�o�*ing this format. ?�?r. Harris said tnat apparently someone �..n ! the past
had decided not to folloYr the ordinance.
Mr. Peterson asked Mr. Rotter what his plans iaere in terms of time„ and rlr.
Rotter replied he would li�e to start construc�ion on lots 5, 1 and 7 in a
very short time.
MOTION by Peterson, seconded by Langenfeld, to continue in trro weeks the Public
Hearing on consideration of a proposed plat, P.S. �#76-07, Rottlund 0aks, by
the Rottlund Co:�pany, and as:c the developer to bring in a sketch snowing the
location of the buildings regarding the 75' wi�th and setbac!c requirer�ents.
� Mr. Peterson explained that they really had nothin� to go on at this time, and
the sketch would let them know if they ti�ere causirg rir. �otter a hardship or
not. P1r. Bergman stated he thought they were overburdening this thing. He
said he was sure that eventually 2•Zr. Rotter woald have to do what had been
' suggested, but he was not sure that what would be done to show tre building
setbacks and 75� lot �,�idth at the building location would be that firm or valid
at this point as it would be at the time Afr. Rotter would seriously consiruct
� something. He stated that he was impressed that ene of the public,benefits
of establishing continuit3• was not really that applicable around a'cul-de-sac
as in a straight-line block. Mr. Bergman said he was recognizing that this
' particular piece of land was causing some development problerns, and was consid-
ering that the 75' width c,ras real�y not that u:�iformly adhered to.' Chairperson
Harris stated that in all new plats it was. Mr. Bergman•said that'',it may be
adhered to on new plats, but not in building construction on preser�tly platted
' property. He said he was questioning that that requirement was legally
applicable in a Planned Unit Development. rir. Harris said it was.
'
'
Planning Commission Meeting - October 6, 1976 ' Page 12
Mr. Peterson stated his first inclination would be to vote for Mr.' Rotter�s
request� but as the discussion went along he felt it was unfair to the Planning
Commission to vote without knowing if it was one, two, or three lots that would
be working a hardship on Mr. Rotter, and tr.at was the reason for h'is motion.
Mr. Langenfe].d added that what it boiled down to was that they were just asking
that tne Pl�.nned Unit Development procedure be followed to the letter.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.,
Mr. Rotter said rle wished to point out that the original development plan of
this property was for a 108 unit apartment building, which would have been a
disaster in that area. He said he didn't want to completely go through the
Planned Development procedure because of the length of time it would take,
but he was trying to better the property other than the previously planned
monster that was going to �o there, and he wished the Commission would consider
that in their determination.

Mr. Boardman directed the Commission to turn to page 72 of their agenda and
pointed out the general location of the area. He said there were plans that

73� would ga through that property and connect up to Onondaga Street. He
explained tYiat this was an existing plat from Auditor's Sub, and what was
being requested was a replat of that Auditor's Sub. He stated that',page ?3
showed what was involved, and said at this time Mr. Leier was plannxng on gozng
with single family homes in the R-3. P�Ir. Boardman said that if an apartment
unit was al].owed in there as it was according to the zoning, he would suggest
that a stiptilation be made allowing no access to 73 2 St. He brought to the
Commission':s attention a memo from Tom Colbert dated October 5, 1976 concerning
the waterma9.n, sanitary, and easements in the Deleier Addition.
Mr. Leier s�Lid he bought the property not knowing of the platting, and found
out LakesidE; Road was supposed to extend to the cul-de-sac. He said he had
invested in this and would have to go ahead with it. rir. Leier said the lots
were not 75' wide, but 72.25' wide, and it was a tough situation. He added
that this was an area where large homes would not be built, and the! square
footage on i;he smallest lots were 9,970 feet and and ihe largest was 11,000
square feet,.
Chairperson Harris asked if the area designated as R-3 was all one parcel now,
and was told it Vras. He asked if Mr. Leier proposed to split that into four
sections, atid Mr. Leier replied he did in order to have a wider range of
possibilitiE�s for it. Tir. Harris asked how large the total R-3 parcel was,
and P�1r. Boaa�dman said it was getting close to lt0,000 square fPet. Nir. Harris
askEd how m��.ny units that t��ould hold, and i�ir. Boardman replied about 16.
Mr. Harris <�.sked if there were any problems with any of the lots in the R-1
area, and ri�,. Boardman said there were not.
Mr: Petersoii asked if he understood correctly that Staff had no prablems with
the petitioiier's request with existing codes, other than the stipulation for
the egress onto 732. Mr. Boardman said that was correct, and he didn't have
a big probl�:m Urith that area going either R-1 or R-3. He said if it went R-3
he would su�;gest all traf£ic be connected.to 73rd. He added it was even
possible fo:� half of that to go to R-1 and half go to R-3.
Karen Egger�t, 7351 Pinetree Lane, N.E., asked if the plan called for 73� to go
� through or :if it would stop right there. rlr. Boardman explained the road would
connect, anci suggested that should be a stipulation. He added that he had
contact witli the owner o£ 2180, and his zntent over the phone was to go for
a lot split North and South, and he would be coming in to apply for that so:ne
� time next week. However� he said, he siil� felt the s-tipulation far easement
should be cunnected to this plat in case he dirin't apply for the lot split.
Mr. Sobiech interjected that in order to achieve the integrity of the future
� development that was planned there, it was the City's intent to make that
connection, and in order to make that connection they must maintain that
easement. Chairperson Harris asked if the City would require these people to
, acquire the easement, and P11r. Sobiech replied that was their intention. He
explained tliat to this date they had had the developers acquire the easements,
and it was not unusual. '

Mr. Leier sai� it was his intention for the City to do this work and assess
him for it. He said he also contacted tYie o�mer of the apartment adjacent.on
the Eastern side, and that person also owned the property where 73'-� would go
straight Ea.st, and he was interested in doin� something there� too, rir. Leier
asked ii, f"or example, the City would take over the curbs, street, sewer, etc.,
if they would couple that bid with others in the area. Mr. Sobeich replied
that they tried to incorporate street projects with the annual city street
improvement•s, and would hopefully get the lowest possible bid for construction.
Iie added tr at sanitary sewer and Ura�ter would be another bid, but they'.tried
to combine as much as possible to get the lowest possible price.
MOTION by F�ergman, seconded by Shea, that the Planning Comrnission close the
Public Hearing on consideration of a preliminary plat, P.S. �76-09, Deleier
Addition, t�y Donald M. Leier. Upon a voice vote� all voting aye, Chairperson
Harris dec7.ared the Public Hearing closed at 10:05 P.i�1.
� Mrs. Schnat�el asked if they were approving a replatting into four separate
lots of that R-3 section for the purpose of those parcels eventually being
built on� a:� R-1 property. rfr. Boardman said he was sure that was what hlr.
� I,eier's ini;ention was. Mrs. Schnabel then asked why they would not rezone
at the sa.r.ic: time they replat, and PZr. Boardrian answered because R-'I could be
built on R-•3 property.
�
�
�
�
'
�
M��s. Schnat�el stated that the lot size bothered her. She said that she had
some problE;ms going along with replatting with lots of that size since they
were tryin�; ta be consistent in the City to maintain 75' widths. Mr. Boardrian
pointed oui: that it would be difficult to do it any differently. Mrs.
Schnabel s:iid she didn�t have the magic anskTer, but felt it would require a
variance a-� the time it was built upon. t�ir. Sobiech stated that a variance
would not l�e necessary if the p1.at k�as approved as such.

the same being 11.i5 71� Way N.E. (The acldress of Mr. Novak's residence will
have to be changed when a building permit is taken out for construction on•
the new bui�ding site). ,
Mr. Benedict Novak was present, and stated he wanted to take off q2 feet,
not 102.
Mr. Boaxdman explained that this lot split request was tentatively',granted
by the City Council when ro;�dway easement was given up by P�4r. Novak io allow
development of 8 lots. He indicated to the Commission where the p�roperty
was located on the map on page 82 of the agen�a. Mr. Boardr►an said Staff
would. request the 7.ot splzt be no less than 89' and -tnat 9' of that would be
required fcr roadway easemen�. He said they would also request that the lot
split be no closer than 10' to the present structure. Mr. Novak said he had
had his property surveyed, and the lot split would be 8� South of his fence,
and the fer..ce was over 10' from the existing house.
Mr. Bergmar.. questioned what could be made out of a 9' street easme�t, and Mr.
Boardman�ex:plained they had a present road easement there now, and an
additional 9' would make it a standaxd size. Mr. Sobeich added that the
additional 9' V�ould make it 1�2', which would be consistent with the adjacent
property.
NL�. Boardm�n said that the City Council allowed him only one lot split, so
although ir.e lot -to the Souih was laxge enough for another lot spl�t, the
Counci.l sai.d onl;� one would be allowed. Tt had also been agreed, �e added,
that the property would be split by a simple lo� split instead of platti.ng.

MOTION by Langenfeld, seconded by Bergman, that the Planning Commission receive
the East Fiiver Road Project Committee report. •
Mr. Sobi.ech stated that Staff and representaiives from the County were not present
to respond to the minutes, but to perhaps provide additional information to
the Plannin� Commission that might he�p them when consi_dering ihe minutes of
the Environnental. �uality Commission. �
Mr. Boaxdman stated that the recommendation from the Environmental Commission
was threefold: 1) the approval of the Project Comrnittee report, 2) the
recommendation of d�signation by the Fridley Parks and Recreation Commission
for the East River Road as a parkway axid establish controls by ordinance as
the Fridley Parkway System for its social and environmental significance, and
3) the recomrnenda�Lion that the Planning Commission and City Council set a
moratorium on project ST 75-3. He added that he t:�ought the main thing at
this meeting for the County would be the moratorium issue.
Mr. Sobiech stated that first of all, it should be realized that the project
as it exists naw is not something that was just starting� but something that
the previous Council had already ordered in. He said that back in'1970 and 1971
there were Public Hearings, and. the resolution was made ordering tMe improve-
ment of East River Road from I-691� to Mississippi Stree�. He said'that at that
time this was the normal procedure to follow for an assessment type improvement;
se they were not beginning something at this stage, but trying to complete
previous direction given by Council. TIr. Sobeich stated ihat at this time
there was c. remaining section to be completed. He said that during the Public
Hearing pha.se of the original proposal, there were thres Public :iearings held
to i•eceive input from the area residents. Based on those three Public Hearings�
he said, tt-.ere were some real modifications to the original p1an, and based
on the inpL.t revised plans were prepared and the project improve.ment was ordered
in.
Mr. �obiecr� continued that at that initial time there was some Federal funding
applied fox� and approved for that section; but jtiTitn the modifications that
were sugge:;ted and implemented based on the Pub2ic ?iearings, the Federal people
could not il.uid the revised project. He said that what developed at that time
was a stagE�-type construction, and the Federal people indicated they could
paxticipate in a different program for the improvement of East River Road at
riississippi Street and a feth* blocks either way. Ne said that was Federally
f�nded and that set the stage for the construction stage as it was now. He
added that once the Topics Project was complete�, then the City got pressure
from the pz•operty owners to complete -the next stage at the Georgetown area.
He said thE�y then proceeded with the next stage of the improvement and the
County and the City Had to provide their own funding for the completion that
had been done over the past several months. All that remained now, he said,
was one rerlaining section abou� four to six bl�cks long. He stated that ihe
City Counc::l and the County still wanted to receive the input from the project
committee, because they felt that any input was good.
� Mr. Sobiecli emphasized tha
ments that they intended to
not intend to increase the

t the improvement that had been made and the improve-

residents to get on to East River Road. He said that with the section that
is proposed, they anticipated four lanes, shoulder sections and turning lanes,
and their main objective was to get pe�ple on and off the road saf�ly.
Mr. Sobiech said tnat this project was pending. Because of the fact that
certain homes had been built since the project was initiated and certain
homes had changed hands, there had been a lot of escrow money that had been
aside for this improvement., He stated that another reason for the'completion
of this project was they felt that now with the completion of the Mississippi
underpass there would be a definite traffic pattern established �rhereby a lot
of Fridley residents tirould use that roadway. He explained that a traffic
count taken at the Plorth boundary line was about 10,000 to 12,OOQ cars per
day, but the count taken closer to I-69� reached 27,000. He said they felt
there was a considerable amount of use being made by th:is section pf East River
Road by general area residents Urithin the community, so not only were they
trying to emphasize safety, but also allow a means for other area residents
to get through the area safely. He stated he felt the Project Committee should
be commended on a11 its work, gathering data, and coming up with their plan.
Mr. Paul Rux3, County �gineer, and Mr. Bud Redepenning, Assistant County
Engineer introduced themselves and said that they were at the meet�ng primariZy
to anstaer questions. Mr.� Ruud stated that there was a new program of Federal
funding for transportation in the urban area, and all agencies put project
r�quests into the hopper and they were prioritized. He said that the project
on East River Road they were talking about did survive that prioritizing. He
added that their preliminary report ��as called a project development report,
and it had been submitted to the State Highway Department last week; it would
be revie�,red by the State Highway Department and the Federal Highway Administra-
tion. r7r. Ruud said that based on other projects they felt it would be
approved, and would not need an Ehvironmental Impact Statement.
Mr. Ruud said that the County had several meetings with A1r. Paripovich, and
they did not feel that his request that Lhis be turned into a parlcway or two-
lane facility was very realistic, although he c,ras sure it would be nice for
the people living along the road. He explained it had been used quite extensively
as a four-ttiray facility. i�1x. Ruud added that there was one facility in Fridley
that is now used as a two-lane facility that had heavi:er use orginally, and
that was �13 Central Avenue. He said he thought that rlississippi atreet North
of East Riv�r Road was a different situation, and they didn't have any plans
to do any specific work on that with the exception of one improvement of the
intersectio:� of Osborne Road and East River Road.
i4r. Langenfald stated tha�. it definitely was not the intention of the Dzviron-
� mental Quality Commission to embark in a lengthy argumeflti, and he �.ssumed that
everyone on this Commission had read the preliminary recommendatioris from the
East River :3oad Project Committee. He said that at this time he would like to
, ask the Chair to recognize the Chairperson of the East River Road Project
Committee, 1��1ike Paripovich.

lived in tr,ose residential areas understood that the entire issue had been
dropped; tr.ey hacin�t realized this was still on the burner. He said those,
residents ��ere very much �zp in axms abott this development to discover that
this wasn't. set aside but is an on-going project. He said that this should
be loo�ed �.t because these people represented � good portion of the citizens
of Fridley. r1r. Paripovich suggested they al.so make a good scrutiny of FAU
funds, and said ihey could use some help fro� the Count� on that. 'He said
he would like to find out their ground rules and what their funds could be
applied to. '

Mr. Paripov�ch said that as far as the Project Committee's plan versus the
County plan, there was only one main difference as they interpreted it. He
said.they F�raised the County plan as it would improve the saiety of the road,
and shoulders, medians and more signals were needed. ��lhere they differed from
the County plan, he said, was they were asking for one lane instead of two
going in ea.ch direction. J�ir. Paripovich had a copy of a report given him by the
City Engineers which showed the traffic projections for 1980 and 1990 projecting
a decline in the use of East r�iver Road and a very definite increase in trunk
hightaay 65 with a less pronounced increase in tru nk highway Lt7. He stated that
for that pertion of the road they were discussing, the projections were only
9,000 cars a day. Mr. Paripovich said that by improving the road and widening
it at the l.east 32 feet, which the County's plans called for, it wduld take
a garage ar..d a lot of property. He again reminded the Commission and the
C�unty Engineers that they were dealing with people who thought this whole
matter was closed. He stated that if tnis was done, and then the Northtown
Corridor and the bridge came along, they would have an obso�ete expanse of highway
on this sic.e of the river. He said that what they did need was shoulders, a
center median, places for people to walk and the abilit,y for cars to travel
unencumbered down the road at a safe speed. He added that they also wanted
to lower th.e speeds, but understood that had no connection with the proposed
expansion cf the road. He stated that if the Project Committee's p2an became
a physical reality, they would have one strictly unencum�ered lane, He said
that if thEy opened those areas up to accommodate rnore traffic through that
underpass a.cross the railroad tracks, ihey would be inviting traffic to come
over.
Mr. Paripovich stated that assuming the FAU end of triis could be solved, he
wasn't sure if there would be an impact on the fiscal area of the project; but
it seemed to him that if the road wasn't expanded, and if what was'already there
wasn't torn up, it would be a good deaZ less expensive. F`unds had already been
set aside for part of it, he said, and if the FAU went along with this plan
it would be more economical and better for Fridley, and would have',no adverse
affect for the County.
Chairperson Harris said that he would like to see a layout of the present plan
by the County, and TZr. Redepenning showed a map to the Commission snd explained
what had already been done and what they were proposing. Mr. Paripovich
showed the Commission a map of the Project Committee's proposal, and explained
it was just about the same except there was only one lane going in,�each direction.
He said he would like to change the concept frorn a blazing highw�y',to a busy,
well-defined thoroughfare. ,
Mr. Ruud said that as an �gineer, there was no way he could recommend Mr.
Paripovich's proposal. He said it would be carelessness on his part� as there

were standards that they had to follow. Mr. Paripovich said that the only
area they differed on was the safety, because the County thought the Project
Committee's proposal would cause accidents a.r�d he thought it would prevent
them. P�r. Redepenning said the Committee's proposal would cause accidents
because they were trying to funnel four l�nes of traffic down to two, and
there would be a bottleneck.
Chairperson Harris asked what would happen t� ths amount of traffic on this
road if sorr�ethir,g could be done �rith Iower University Avenue. i�"r. Ruud
said that r.e was sure that discouraged a lot of people from using l�7, and the
same was tr�ue tirith 65 going into Ceniral. He added t.hat another thing that
would help woul� be the bridge across the Nor�htown Crossing, but there'was
a sixty-mil.lion dollar price tag on that project, and nobody knew when it
would happF�n. P�Ir. Harris commented that t'r�e reason most people used East River
Road was because it was a straight shot i.nto downtown 2�inneapolis.'
Mr. Bergmari said that he was impressed with one part of the project report
in particu�.ar, and that was the comparisons of signalization on East River
Road as compared to University Avenue and Centr.al Avenue. He stated that
the comparison said they were apparently discouraging traffic on 65 as a
thoroughfar•e, were discouraging traffic on University Avenue, and had the
least ainourit of discouragement on East River Road. He said that what the
Project Corunittee was talking about was reduc�ng traffic, and he didn't see
where the County plan a�dressed. that. Chairp�r.son Harris st^ted that as he
saw '�, what they were trying to do V�as hand�e this as a County affair� and
he didn't l�elieve that the total tra?fic pict�;re was totally a County problem.
rir. Redepenning pointed out where there were signals along East River Road
as compared to 65. He said that eu�h time th�t a si�nal was installed, though,
there was <i configuration where the traffic concentrated at that point. He
stated tha�� from Mississippi Street south, there were as many signals as on
!t7 or 65. He continued that one of the reasons there was a traffic buildup
was the ma:�r� focus of the plan for the metro �xea of the strong dawntown
Minneapolis and strang downtown Sf;. Paul. He stated that people had to get
there, and w'nat they found on tris stretcn oi road �,�as not unique in Fr?dley.
He said a:^ing could be drawn around the Twin.Cities and the same thing would
be found on every feeder that was going in. :ie said there had been a basic
decision made that people had to get downtown.
Mr. Bergma:z asked what the cost would be to finish that section of the road,
and Mr. Redepenr.ing said it would be about $!�00,000 to $500,000. Mr. Bergman
asked if t:1at included funding irom Federal, County and City along with
property assessments, a.nd rir. Redepenning said that what they meant by the
City's share was the assessments.
Mrs. Schnabel asked if the speed limit was the same on East River'Road as
it was on 55 �d 1�7, and was told that the speed limits varied. t1r. Bergman
said he could only see one dramatic difference in the�ttivo plans, and that
was the nu:nber of lanes. He asked if it wasn't possible that the'project
committee's plan to narrow down and attempt to restrict the volwme of traffic

on ihis roa�i would be more applicable aftex the pressure was relieVed by the
Northtown C��rridor than at this point in time right prior to addit�onal pressure.
Mr. Paripovich responded that the problem was once the improvement� had been
made, they •�ould be such a permanent thing they would be there for;a long time.
Chairperson Harris s aid that statements had been made in the 1971 �earings
that this was Stage 1. He said a study had been done from 69� to he creek,
an d that was the section that was proposed for improvement; then w�en that
was complet�d, it would be continued from the creek to the Northto,�an Corrid�r.
He commente3 that he thought this was just Stage l. ,
Mr. Langenfeld said he had several comments to make, but would lik
them by reminding the gentlemen who were present that this i�as a c
problem, and would be even more so by Plywood Minnesota. He state

to do something like this t^ey ha.d io start right here at home. 1�1
suggested a noise and pollution report be obtained, as he thought
have some bearing on the project. Mr. Ruud said that it was their
at this time that their staiement would be accepted that their pIa

' said that h.e had checked to see what the criteria was for reducing�a speed
limit. He stated. that the ;:�ost important point was a radar check �ras set up
to see what the average speed was� the reason being they wanted thle matorists

rir. Peterson said that at the last Planning Commission meeting he a�tended
there had been a lengthy discussion concerning procedure of Project�,Committees
and whether the East River Road Project Committee was operating as � Project
Committee or� a citizen's committee, whether it kas operating withinithe frame-
work set up by the ordinance and if it was receiving direction from��,the
Fhvironmental Quality Commission. He added that as a Chairman of alCommission
he was a little concerned as to how this was being handled and if t�4ey were
operati.ng within the framework they were supposed to be.� �
Mr. Langenfeld replied that it was his impression at the time that �articular
conversation took place, there was concern that perhaps this Projec� Committee
Planning Ccmmission Meeting - October 6, 197b ' Page 23
was going to sl.y rocket in a11 different directions and there woul� be a group �
of irate citizens up in arms. He said.that he attended several of�the meetings
and found they were very controlled and could find no way the Comm�ttee was
operating out of the scope of the City plans. ,
P4r. Peterson said that the comment had been made that the East Riv�r Road
Project Committee was going to be checking on funding available an� this
type of thing, and he was not sure that fell i��ithin the scope of a Project
Committee's jurisdiction or if this was the proper direction for tl�em to go.

was necessary to go to County Government, etc. He said that in ta

Mr. Bergman asked if the membership of the Project Commiitee was m�de up entircly
of people living along East River Road. P�ir. Paripovich replied th�t they had
thrown the �ommittee open to everybody by putting a notice in the rid.ley Sun,
and had invited everybody to join tl-ie group. He said that the membe:s live
in the neig:zborhoods on either side of East River Road, and a,lmost'everybody
lived West of the railroad tracks. rSr. Bergman said he t�ras wonder�ng if this
was true City of Fridley'type input or neighborhood input with part,icular and
home-�ased interests on that street. Mr. Paripovich replied that qf course
there was d��finite interest there, but they had tried to present a 1 tne facts.
Mr. Peterson asked if the East River Road Project Committee was ac�ually
appointed a�1d approved by the fuil �vironmental �uali.ty Commission, and I�ir�
� Paripovich :�eplied that the membership had never been approved, bu� it could be.
rir. Peterso�l explained that in Parks and Recreation they had gone �hrough a
neighborhood recreation project committee type thing, and they wer� lead to
believe by :interpretation of the ordinance that the members were t� be approved
by the Comm:�ssion before it started. I�Ir. Boardrian explained that embership
approval wa:> entirely up to th� Commission itself and it could, if'�they chose
to, control or approve membership. rir. Langenfeld said that when l+�r. Paripovich
took the Ch,�.irmanship of the Project Committee he was in sole char�e of the
committee. As far as he was concerned, he said, there was no rulelor established
way that project commi.ttees were going to function. He stated thatl he didn't think
there was a set procedure, and just because one Commission handled it one way
did not meari that all Commission had to follow that.

C. AAMINIS�RATIVE STAFF REVIEW: This front yard is not typical in that the
house faces the side of the 1ot; therefore, the fence and pool'will not
be in the front yard now _usec� as front yard. However, it woulc� lie i.n
front of the home just East of the applicants. ',
Staff feels the variances should only be granted if the homeowr�er at
9S3 68th Avenue has no objection, since it would affect them t�e most.
There is no logical compromise available. I
Mrs. Robert Tomczak was at the meeting to present the request, alo�g with
Mr. and Mrs. Dan Ault, 953 6E3th Avenue N.E., the adjacent neighbor .
Mrs. Tomczak showed the Board a plat with a rough drawing, and explained what
she and her husband caanted to do. She said that if rlr. and rirs. A�11t were not
agreeable to the proposed plan, she and her husband agreed they wo�ld not
build it. She asked Mr. Holden how far a pool had to be from the �xisting
property line. Mr. Holden explained it was considered an accessor� building
so it wou].d have to be at least 3' from tne property line with a v�rifying
survey, or �� feet without, a survey. He said that since there was',no verifying
survey, it would have` to be 4� feet from the property line.
Airs. Tomczak stated that their existing fence was 1 2 feet in from their
property line, and woul� have to be extended. Sne explained they were
proposin� a 36� kidney-shaped p�ol, 2nd showed how it would fit on'their
property and where the diving board would be. ',
Mrs. Schnabel asked if there was a 3' deck requirement, and Mr. Ho�den replied
there was. He said there was approximately 12' from the curb to t,e property,
and another 1��' to the pool edge, so -chere would be a total of abo�it 16�'
from the curb to the pool. ` I
Mr. Ault stated that one of his concerns was that the fence would �bstruct
the viei•r, and there would be a problem going in and put of his dri�reway.
Chairperson Schnabel asked what type of fence the petitioner was p�.anning
on putting up,�and Mrs. Tomczak replied a board-on-board, the same,type they
had at the present time. Mrs. Schnabel stated that chain-link fen�es �rere
also legal at 6'. Mr. Kemper said t'r.at this had been discussed sey'eral weeks
ago, and it had been decided a chain-link fence was climbabl.e. Mr$. Schnabel
said it was the Building Inspector's feeling that a toddler would �ot climb
a 6' fence. rtrs. Tomczak stated she didn't feal a chain-link fenc� was safe�
and she didn't care for that idea. rir. Barna commented that vertic�al board-on-
board fences that gave no toehold were preferable. I,
Mr. Ault said that another concern of his was if he would be al.zow
or stain his side of the fence. He said that they hadn't yet reac
ment with the Tomczaks regarding the fence in the back yard, and t
some concern about the fence in front. He explained that he would
the fence to match his house, but the Tomczaks preferred to leave
Chai rperson Schnabel stated it was the property owners responsibil
maintain the fence, unless the fence was right on �he property lin
said that if two neighbors put up a joint fence together, then the;
responsibility of the fence; in this case it would be the responsi
d to paint
ed an agree-
ere was

against an unsightly fence, and Mr. Holden replied that according to the
complaint procedure the City Staff could discuss the matter with tY�e adjacent
property owners and try to settle any questions. �',
Mrs. Gabel said that this seemed to be a matter of one person liki:
fence stained and the other person liking the natural affect, and�
was entitled to their preference. Mrs.Ault stated there �would be
staining one side of the fence and not the other. :�irs. Tomczak sa

Mr. Kemper asked D1r. and Z•4rs. Ault if they had reached any kind of ' conclusion
regarding their objections to this. I�ir. Ault stated that they had',a natural
concern, but they didn't want to limit something that somebody els� wanted to
do. He said they wanted to be good neighbors but they didn't want'�,the pool
to detract from their property. Chairperson Schnabel asked if they had any
particular feelings on the board-on-board fer.ce being extended dowri versus
a chain-link fence. Mr. Ault replied that they would prefer a fenr�e similar
to the existing fence, but their concern was about staining it so �t t�ould
blend in with their house. r1rs. Ault added that she was also conc�rned about
children being able to look down the street for cars if there was �. lot of
snow piled up there. ���
Mr. Ault stated that he had been under the impression that if he s gned the
release for the Tomczaks to build the pool, then he could sta.in th fence
to match his house. Mrs. Tomczak said that was fine, but her husb dts concern
was that if the Aults moved then they would have to keep maintainir�g the fence.
Chairperson Schnabel also pointed out that if the Tomczaks should �ell their
house, then the new property owner would also have to maintain thelfence. She
suggested that if the Tomczaks would be agreeable to allowing the eighbors
to stain the fence� and they in turn were agreeable to the constru�tion of
the pool� perhaps they could reach a happy medium. I

,, Mrs. Gabel asked the Aults if they could specify what their feelin�s F�ere.
Mr. Ault replied that they had no objections to a pool, but they w�re concerned
with the location and the view and the fence. He stated they did r�ot want to
' object to someone doing something like that if the City agreed it �ou1d be in
the best interest of the City and the property owners on the stree�, and he
would leave it up to�the Board. Nir. Kemper asked if they had the ecision to
' build that pool, wauld they or would they not build it. Mr. Ault gain�stated
they didn't object to someone building a pool, per se, but they we,e concerned
with the location. He said he didn't lmow whai: impact it would ha�e on his
� proper�ty, but he thought it might make it more difficult to sell. �He added
that they didn't want to be the ones to say yes or no, and felt it'Iwas some-

could proceed with construction. If there was some objection, shelsaid, then
the request iaould go to the City Council and it would be reviewed qne more
time, and their decision would becor!e final. She explained that w�.s i•rhy they
Vranted to knota how the Aults felt about it before they took any acitzon, and
they wanted to make sure everybod� had an ample opportunity to expmess their
feelings. I�irs. Gabel asked when construction on tnis would be sta.�ted if a
variance was granted� and rlrs. Tomczak replied they would start ne�tt ;,•eek.
Mrs. Schnabel asked if they had talked to any of the other neighbo�s, and rqrs.
Tomczak answered that sne had talked to every neighbor within 200''�,and no one
else expressed concern. '�,
Nirs. Ault asked how the pool was going to be enclosed, and Mrs. Tomczak sho�red
her t�rhere the fence and gate would be. Chairperson Schnabel asked if they
would have to enter the pool through the gate also, ar�d r2rs. Tomcz' replied
that was correct, there would be no direct access. NIr. Barna aske�if the
pool area could be seen from the kitchen window, and Mrs. Tomezak �aid no,
only from the bei3rooms. P�r. Barna asked how long they had been pl�.nning this,

Mrs. Schnabel asked if the fence across the street was 12' back, bdcause in her
mind that didn't seem like it was terribly close to the street. Mr. Holden
looked through the records and returned to say that, there was no v'rifying
survey for the house across the street from 1�,he Tomczaks. Mrs. Sc abel looked
through the file on that house, and said it didn't tell them very uch. She
said they would have to proceed. without that visual image in mind.l,
Mr. Barna stated that his major concern i•r�s that there were thousar�ds of lots
like this in Fridley where the front yard Taas the side yaxd� or vic}e versa,
and although the swimming pool itself would be flush with the gro�d� it was
still an accessory building. He said that if they granted a vari ce for
an accessory building in this case, they might be opening it up fo� garages
and other structures in front yards. ;

Mrs. Gabel pointed out that it tJasn't the Tomczak's fault that it �as their
front yard by a technicality, and Chairperson Schnabel said that i� was an unfortun-

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT I
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERV'-'�.D BY R.EQUIREP•SENT: Section 205.053, 1�, A, �ront yard
setback of 35 feet. '
Public purpose served is that the front yard setback restrictimns tend to
keep structures back far enough to attain adequate ogen space �or
aesthetic purposes, and also to make the space in front of a g age
door long enough to a11ow the parking of vehicles without encr�aching
into public right of way. ��,
B. STATED HARDSHIP: The grade of the lot makes further setback r�quire a
very deep footing and the cutting of two large oak trees. ',
C. ADI�IINISTRATIVE STAFF REV1EGd: This lot does fall away from the I street.
^lherefore, moving the construction back on the lot would resul� in the
lowering of the rear footing. However, we feel a home can be designed
th�.t would fit on the lot that would not encroach into any req�ired setbacks
and would not be any further back on this lot with respect to �he rear
line of the house. I
We feel that the Commission �rrill have to hear the petitioner's,reasons
for the request� and receive the comments of the neighbors and',,then make
a determination on the matter. i
Mr. 0'Bannon was at the meeting to present the request, along with',Rir. Ron
• Cadwell, 1293 Brighton Square, New Brighton, t,rho wouZd be the owne� of the house.
Mr. 0'Bannon presented the plans to the Board and explained that a�though the
house would be 20' from the lot line, there was a steep hill and i� t,ras wooded.
He showed where the large trees were situated on the lot and how t e house
would face, and explained there was also a 10' boulevard so the hoy�se would
actually be 30' from the street. He stated that he �•ras asking for a 15'
variance because there was a steep grade in the rear, and as the h�use sat,
the basement would be sitting out of the ground. . I
' Mr. Barna noted that

the property in back of these lots was park, 'lo there

B. STAT� HARDSHIP: Land cannot be built on to meet code.

�Ir. G. ti�d. Paschke was at the meeting to present the request. i
,
Mr. Paschke stated he didn't kno�r of anyzahere in Fridley where thene was a 10'
strip betiaeen joint parking lots, and explained the problem the nei�ghbor would
have if -tnere was a 10' strip. He corvnented that 18' for a parkin� stall
was awfully short, and a 10' island doiti� the middle would be nothir�g but junk.
C�iairperson Schnabel said that they were talking about a landscapir�lg strip,
but i�Ir. Paschke said that just didn't happen. �,
Mr. Barna asked what the buildi:�g was going to bz, and I7r. Paschke �replied
he didn�t lrnow yet as it taas speculative, but it could be a warehouse or a.
factory. I�irs. Schnabel asked if he ;ras goir�g to go with zero lot
construction, and rlr. Paschke repliec he Vras. P•7r. Kemper asked w
zoning �aas in this. area, and PIr. Pascnke answered it was M-2.
� Chairperson Schnabel asked if there �,Tould be enough room for park
around if they t�aent with the 5' setback from the building but eli

3� would do the same thing as 5'. r7rs. Schnabel asked if she was

rir. Kemper asked if he couldn't move the wall of the building and r�eet code,
and rlr. Paschke rep]_ied then the building wouldn't be l.i0%. He stat�',ed that
economically he couldn't build there wi-thout a,variance. Mr. Kemper pointed
out how the wall could be moved to meet codes, and r;r. Paschke replied that
then the building would be an odd size. rir. Kemper stated that iti appeared
to him that rir. Paschke had designed a building to cover the l�Ojo mi�imum and
tha rest he wanted for driveway, so he was requesting a variance. �Ir. Paschke
stated that the lot had been sitting there for a lot of years, and �they had
designed a building to go there with the least amount of variances.i rfr. Kemper
stated that a building could be designed to fit without any varianc,l�es. Mr.
Paschke said that originally the building was designed differently,,but Jerry
Boardman had desi�ned it this way. He said that if he couldn't bui,�d on 40%,
he wouldn't build on it at all. He added that land was too expensi�e, and he
would have to look for another site. I

Mr. Kemper asked if Mr. Paschke was saying the property line would�eventually
be one big parking lot, and NIr. Paschke said that was correct. He�'�added that
the owner of the other property had indicated he was going to pavei,it, and that
this was a joint parking lot and not property lines, as such. Mr.liKemper asked
if he had a zero lot line agreement to build up to the property li.rne, and Mr.
Paschke repl.ied he did. Mr. Kemper stated that he would have 35� f�or parking,
and tne code said 20� for a stall and 25' for a parking aisle, so t�Ir. Paschke
was essentially 10' sh�rt. Mr. Paschke stated there were many sim�lar joint
parking lots in Fridley, and Mrs. Schnabel pointed out that other ommercial
areas cahich had adjacent parking lots might have been constructed l�efore the
code. �
Chairperson Schnabel asked if he had thought about this in terms o� land-
scaping, and 2-Ir. Paschke replied there were several evergreens andliother
plantings. Mrs. Schnabel said she ;�ras concerned to some extent�about the
adjacent parking going up to the lot line taith blacktop since the djacent
property owner had submitted nothing in �,mit2ng. I�irs. Gabe� asked if there
would be any problem getting a written joint parking agreement. M. Paschke
said no, except if it was recorded there would be trouble clearing'the title
on it.
Chairperson Schnabel asked where the 18� for parking left them in
large cars, and �ir. Holden said they would stick out a bit. Mrs.
asked if 21�' was ample room to back out, and T•Zr. Holden replied i
to what was required. l�irs. Schnabel pointed out that if that was
19' by h�ving the 5' against the building and insisting on the 5'
would be tight to move around in. i•:r. Holden agreed. Mr. Paschke
had considered diagonal parking, but it took about the same amoun
as striagh�,-in pa.rking, plus it elin;nated the option of backing o
way. Mr. Kemper asked if it tiras okay to blacktop up to the line b
on it, and Mr. Holden said that was correct. TIr. Kemper asked wh
percentage would be if the building was 65 x 99•5, and Mr. Holden
that would be 33.go lot coverage.

MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Barna, to close the Public Hearing. iUpon a voice
vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. ,
Chairperson Schnabel said that 1�7r. Paschke was asking to blacktop Ihe parking
lot out to the lot li.ne and eliminate the 5� barrier between his l�t and the
adjacent property, and tl-,e code said he must maintain a 5' baxrierlbetween
the adjacent property. A,r. Holden read Section 205.135, B, of the',Czty Code,
and said he interpreted that to mean he could pave all �he way outlto the lot
line. Mr. Barna said that then the recorvnendation of the 5' strip'Iwas just a
Staff recommendation, and not a code requirement. Nir. Holden said that was
correct. Mrs. Schnabel said that then legally he could blacktop u� to the
lot line, but Staff was saying he shauld allow for a 5' strip as o�posed to
parking up to the lot line or using it for a turn-around axea or d�iveway.
She asked how close a driveway could go to the lot line. rir. Hold�n said he
would interpret that as being a parking aisle. Mrs. Schnabel said that it was
also a driveway, and Mr. Holden said that was true. '�i

Chairperson Schnabel said she thought the situation had changed since rir.
Paschke had chan�ed his plan. Even so, she said, if that was inte�preted
as a driveway, then it still would have to be five feet from the lcbt line.
Then zt would.require a variance, she expla.zned, but it would havelto be a
different request. AZrs. Schnabel asked r�r. Paschke how soon he pl�nned on
staxting construction, and he replied in the next couple of weeks.� She said
she was wondering if -�here was time for someone to make an interpr�tation
as to if that taas a driveway. I�1r. Holden said it w�uld be either �. driveway
or a parking aisle. r1rs. Schnabel said it was her personal opinior� that it
would be interpreted as a driveway, an d the code said it must be 5� from the
lot line and she would like to see that 5' maintained unless therelwas strong
reason not to maintain it. ,'

to act on this as it was. I�;rs. Schnabel sai.d they could act on it'�and either
approve or deny it, and it taould still go before Council. 2�grs. Gaj�el stated
she didn't like to act on something zahen they didn't have any firm�statements
about what they c�rere really acting on.

required 5 feet) on without recommendation due to lack of inforr�at

Mr. Kemper commented that he didn't like to simply pass something
because they (the Appeals Commission) hadn�t been given enough in

Mrs. Gabel stated that the petitioner had come here in good faith, and somewhere
along the line a mistake was made that wasn't his fault, and he dic� have a
timing problem because of frost. Mrs. Gabel sa�.d she agreed with �rhat Mr.
Kemper was saying, but she didn't feel the petitioner should be perialized.
Chairperson Schnabel said that another problem was because Staff s�.w one plan
� and the petitioner showed the Commission a revised plan. Mr. Barn� said that
the problem was with the City bureaucracy rather than with the peti�tioner or
the Appeals Commission, and he couldn�t see handicapping the petitilaner because
of that error. He added that he felt Staff should be able to cle this up
� satisfactorily before it reached Cit;� Council, and they would have�all the
pertinent information to go on at that point. 'i

B. STATED i-IARDSHIP: Land cannot be built on to meet code.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIE41: The proposed building size o�' 75 feet
by 97.5 feet will cover 7,1t62.5 square feet. Lots 23, 21t� 'iand 25,
Block 8, Onaway Additi.on, total 17,100 square feet. The n�t lot
coverage is lt3.6�.to; therefore, a variance to the lot cover�ge
requirements of Section 205.131�, 3, A, is required unless�-�he building
size is reduced. '
,
Staff has been in favor of rear yard setbacks in the Onaway� area due
to the shor+ness of the lots, and feel that this rec�uest is justified
in light of past variances granted in this block. '�
The petitionPr apoarently is reluctant to enter into a joirit parking
agreement with Signcrafters to the South. Staff feels a Sl,foot green
area should be ma�ntained and the variance to 3 feet from �he building
approved. This would allow an 18-foot parking stall and a'�I19 foot
driving area. ',
Mr� Paschke was at tne meeting to present the request.
5 00
Mrs. Gabel asked why tr,e Public Notice didn't mention the variance',on tne coverage,
and I�1r. Holden replied a variance to the lot size hadn't been requ�ste� because
they hadn�t realized it would be needed until tor.ight. T•ir. K<mperjsuggested
that r�uld be solved by reducing the building to �;0 0. ',
_� Mr. Paschke shot•red the Comriission where the proposed building would be on the
lots and zahere_the parkin� areas l�:ould be, Chairp�rson Schnabel as,ked if he
was going up to zero lot line, and 2�Ir. Paschke r•eplied he T�ras. I�Irs. Schnabel
asked if he had any kind of agreement on the zero lot line� and 'ne''�,replied
he had a verbal agreement, but nothir_g in ti,rriting. �•1rs. Schnabel i!nfor^�ed hir:
he would have �o get a��rritten agreement before he could start cons'truction.
Chairperscn Sc:�nabel said that unless P�:r. Paschke decided at this r�eeting te
change the size of the building, they might be better off tabling t�,his `�Thole
process until anether notice could be issued for lot size coverage. She explained
that otheri�ise he t��ould have to pay another fee and �rould have to c�ome back for
another hearing anyi�ray. P•x. Paschke stated that he would like Staff to help
him decide how to reduce the building. I
Mr. Kemper stated that since I�ir. Paschke was so amenable to reducir�g the size
of ihe builda.ng, perhaps it could be reduced to give more adequate!paxking.
Mr. Paschke said that there was adequate parking. He said he would', prefer to
let Staff decide hok* to cut the building--from the back or the fror��t; he was
open to suggestions either• way. '
Chairperson Schnabel said that this was the very same problem as be�fore, with
the additional problem of the reax yard setback, which might be re ced if the
building was redu�ed in size. Mr. Barna asked r�r. Paschke when he lanned on
starting work on this, and he replied not until next spring. rirs. abel said
then there would be no problem in tabling this until the drivew�y p�oblem was
worked out and the building reduced. " I

6. CONTITJUED: ZONING CODE REVIEt�I ON GARAGES
T7rs. Gabel xeminded the Commission that in Play they had received a
for variance on a dwelling to be located on G1.encoe Street, and thE
on gaxages arose at that time and the Appeals Commission had sent �
more input because the code was very vague. Iyir. Kemper stated the
didn't mention anything about garages on lots 9,000 square fset anc
and as he r�called they had asked for some kind of clarification or.
tdow they were in receipt of the Community Development Commission's
from their meeting of August 10, 1976, con�aining a zoning code re`
garages.

Chairperson Schnabel said that�.the report from Cemmunity Developme t recommended
that one enclosed garage space be provided per dwell�ng unit for tY�e follotring
reasons: �
l. Reduce outside automobile par�cing.
2. Provide for enclosed storage �f equipment and materi:als ot�er
than automol�ile to enhance neighborhood appearance. ��
3. Reduce safety hazaxds which may result from outside storage of
equipment and materi2l. '
!�. Promote the preservation and upgrading of the neighborhood�land
maintain a quality of living environment consistent with tY�e
housing plan. �
5. Provide for the security of stored goods in the neighborhoqd.
Mrs. Schnabel recalled there had been a discussi.on on •,�hether a giage should
be tied to the d�relling or to the size of the lot. She noted from tYie Community
Development minutes that most of the other cozn,-nunities did not tre�t the
question of substandaxd lots at all. r1rs. Schnabel informed the C mmission
that the Planning Commission had tabled this item and had not acte on it yet.
Chairperson Schnabel said that they ha�i already approved construct"on on
50' lots and did not require a garage stall, but to her lmowledge o lots of
under 50' had been built on at this point. She said they would ha e to address
themselves totally to substandaxd lots, unless they wanted to separlate 50' and
above from �0' and under. . I

Air. Kemper stated that through his motion on riay llth he had asked Ithe Commissions
to take a look at the subject of garages and the requirements for s�ingle or
• double garages, and the requirements for paved or unpaved driveways as they
applied to any lot under 9,000 dquare feet. He said the minutes of��the CDC
meeting addressed themselves not to lot sizes but to garages and ho'µses. He
� Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting - September 28� 1976

Page llt
wondered if the garage should be considered part of a house and not concerned
with the lot size, and said that it appeured to be a sensib].e way �o go about
it. He added that he sensed something wrong back in riay when they�Iread the
codes for lots over 9,000 squaxe feet and they didn�t mention unde� 9,000
square feet. He stated he thought they should be tied to the builc�ing and not
the lot size, and this helped him understand what he thought the City's position
should be regarding garages. ',
Mrs. Gabel said she disagreed. She explained that next to her hou�e there was
1 a sma11 house and garage on a I�0' lot, and because the driveway wa� so close
to her property her fence kept getting lrnocked down. P�ir. Kemper s�.id that
maybe by requiring that each hor:►e have at least a single-car garag�, it would
� automatically prohibit building on 1�0' lots, and that might be the!iappropriate
criteria they should be using.
�
�
�
'
�
'
Hir. Barna stated that if they tied garages to houses on a 50� lot,'',and if
the property owners wanted to upgrade it, they would have to put a�!,garage on
it. He said there was no way he could put a garage on either of tYue two
50� lc�ts he ot,med �rith houses on tihem because of hills on the prope�ty. �;rs.
Gabel stated the code wouldn't have to be written tnat way. P•Sr. K�mper added
that because something t•ras done at one point in time didn't mean somethi.ng else
couldn't be established that said it couldn't be done in the futurc�. Nirs.
Gabel said that under the pres�nt code system they haven't allocaedl,,any houses
to be built on I�O� lots, but there were many homes built on 40' lo�s in the
past. P�4r. Barna said that the information passed on to himself anc� the CoL�r.cil
iaas that there Freren't any 1�0' lets tirith hou�es on ther� ir� Frid�eyl Crairpersor�
Schnabel said there certainly trere a lot of older dtrellings in the�City which
were on substandard lots and didn't meet the current code, but the�e hasn't
been any nei� construction. She exp].ained that a.nything that was b�Ailt prior
to the new code was grandfathered in� but i,7nat they said was from r�ow on they
wouldn't allow anything under 9,000 square f.eet. She added that c�uld be done
again, and wha� had already been done could be grandfathered in. '�,
Chairperson Schnabel asked the Commission if they wanted to make aldecision
regarding this, and Nirs. Gabel suggested gettir�g something from th� Planning
Commission on this. Ntrs. Schnabel said they should also bear in mind that
on Novemb�r 22nd they were scheduled to have the hearing on Lt0' lo�s with the
City Council, and said that perhaps at that time this subject shou�.d come up
again. Mr. Kemper said that in his opinion �Lhey would accomplish r�othing by
waiting, and should therefore make soMe decision. ',
rlrs. Gabel said she still felt very strongly that a garage should
� ment. She stated she thought it came back to rnaintaining a standa
for people who had lived in Fridley over a period of tzme and main
quality of life, and she felt they otaed something to the people wh
� in Fridley a long time.

Chairperson Schnabel said she had another problem with not requiririg gaxages,
and that was ihat garages were required for multiple dwelli.ngs. SY�e s aid she
felt in some ways it would be discrimi.natory not to require a gaxa e for a
single-family dt,relling but require l� stalls for a multiple dwellir�g. Mr.
, Kemper said he felt it wouldn't be any more fa�.r to require a garage for a

Chairperson Schnabel said that if garages were required, then ther� should be
a review of the size requirements for structures built on substand�rd lots,
if building on substandard lots was allowed. Sh� suggested that p�rhaps the
requirements for a two or three bedroom nome should be reduced and that would
be t�e answer to getting a d�elling on a substandard lot with a ga.�age. She
said that if the lots �reren't built on they became tax-forfeit property�
and there was the problem of' who maintained them. i
Mr. Barna said he didn't go along with that on the grounds that itlwould be
protecting the present citizens beoause he hadn't heard any compla�nts from
anyone saying they didn't want a house on a 50' lot. P�1rs. Schnabe said there
had been several. �i
rir. Holden said that l�ir. Boardman had read a report by the Metro Cbuncil
� concerning garages and accessory buildings and it had said that inja survey
of 160 communities in the me�ro area, only 20 of them required gar,�.ges of some
sort. i

Chairperson Schnabel said that �ras consistent taith �rhat came out i PERSPECTIVES�
a booklet published by the %Ietropolitan Gouncil. Sne stated that he Council
had appointed a hiodest Cost Housing kdvisory Committee to study th effects
of governmental regulations, t�-_es, °ina.ncing, ar:d housing industriy practices
on the cost of housing, and to make recoru�nendations for reducing t�ese costs,
and they were to report i.heir recorrv�:endations to the Legislature b�y January
15, 1977. P4rs. Schnabel said she thought several meMbers of that Icommittee
said thny felt that the re�uirements of municipalities had become ,�very restrictive
totdard buildir.g private dwell.ings w?�ich the popu.lation could afior'�. She stated
they were looking for ways to allow construction of private dwellings so more
of the population could afford to buy th�m, and one of those ways ��might be to
not require garages and reduce the size requirements to fit on a l�ot. She
added that �he Appaals Comrnissian might actually be doing a lot of', unnecessary
work because the Legislature might come out with all new �equireme�ts.
Mr. Kemger referred to the Planning :?eview On S�ngle Family Garagej Requirements
submitted by Jerry Boardrrian, and the statement which Said that out�!, of the 81
communities surveyed, 6 required a one-car garage, !� required a twlo-car garage,
and 71 required off-street parking with no garage requirements. Hi,e was
wondering if Fridley was one of the com�rnunities surveyed, and if s',o, if it was
one of the six requiring a one-car garage, one of the four requiri,�ng a two-car
garage, or one of the 71 with no garage requirements. He stated t�hat if Fridley
was one of the six or the four, then what they were talking about,�was expanding
on the City Codes which already required garages for certain types, of construction.
He added that right now the codes talk about garages for ].ots ovexf 9,000 square
feet and multiple dwellings, but it didn't address itself to gara�es on sub-
standard lots. I
Chairperson Schnabel said that if they looked at the adjacent comr
1 Fridley they would find one totally developed community on one sic
then Coon Rapids and Blaine where there was a lot of open space ye
su�gested that perhaps they could afiord to be more open in their

Mrs. Gabel said that if somebody built a home on an eighty foot lot}, they
could eventually add a garage; but when somebody built a house on al substandard
lot there was no room to add a garage. She said that was her conc�rn--not
with the large lots. She added that she was convinced that on the average
70 or 80 foot-lo�s a garage would go up anyway. I
Mr. Kemper said that the question was if they wanted to allow builc�ing on
substandard lots, and if they permitted it they were essentially r�ducing
the total quality of life in the Fridley areae A�r. Barna stated t at he
felt neighborhoods had to be considered, as in his ne�ghborhood a s'iubstandard
lot was anything less than 50'. Mrs. Schnabel said they had to cor�sider that
the people who were living on 50' lots had lived there for a long tiime. Mr.
Barna wondered if a substandard lot could be restricted in an arealwhere the
majority of lots were over a certain size. He said that regarding�50 and 60
foot lots, perhaps tne best way to handle them was the way they hac� been--
on an individual basis consi�ering objections from neighbors. I
Mr. Holden asked the Commissioners what their reaction would be if
was made identica.l to the one in the Community Development Commiss
minutes of August 10, 1976 by Williara Forster stating that one enc
space be provided per dwelling �or those five reasons listed. Mr.
said that he personally would vote no. r1rs. Gabel said if she had
a decision she would vote in favor of it. Chairperson Schnabel st
she would vote in favor, but was concerned they rnight be spinning
wheels because if the Legislature acted on this they might hdve a
set of laws. She added that she would be inclinded to say a garag
was needed for every dz�relling f�c�m an aesthetic standpoin�,, and ad
she felt the majority of ho^:es in the City did ha�re garages and th
the City looked as neat as it did. PIr. Kemper stated he would not
