a notice from the City. The notice was somethinc� to the effect of "pay for the
meter in five days or else." Mr. Brunsell, Finance Director, stated that there is a

matter to be routed to the Parks and Recreation Commission. Councilwoman Kukowski then
stated that it was her feelina that one si�n for now could be nosted at the Islands

stron�ly about this, that �erhans the one sinn could be �osted now and see what

and if this is a �ood idea for the Islands of Peace, it miaht be a �ood idea for
other areas and it should then be referred to the Parks De�artment. However, he

about the vandalism at the Islands of Peace.

City responsible, or a Foundation sign with the Foundation res!�onsible?

Nowever, a perforr.�ance bond is maintained for one year and at the end of this time
period, a review of the project area is made with the contractor to ensure that
everything is properly constructed and the snecifications have been met. He further
stated that if anyone had any specific comrnents recTardir� the ir�nrovement, please
feel free to contact the Engineering Departinent. Another comr�ent P1r. Sobiech made was
that for the streets: 53%Z Avenue, 56th Avenue, 57th Place, 60th Avenue, 5th Street,
and 6th Street, the final front footage assessment was $14.08 with the side yard
footage of $4.20. This was belo�v the preliminary estimate at the Praliminary Assessment
Hearing of $17.14.
Ptayor Nee then commented to the audience that the assessment roll is prepared under
a standard formula for distribution of the project and that it is the assessment
distribution that the Administration proposes; and therefore, the �urpose of this

any questions or objections. He then asked if there was anyone present concerned

Rssessor, stated 7%Z� interest, and the interest is always charc,ed on the remaining
balance. He pointed out to P1r, Leslie that on the first year it would give him a
full year to pay, or if he wanted to pay without any interest a� all, he would have
to pay within 30 days. P1r. Leslie then raised the question about the driveway, and
Piayor Nee responded that it was figured in the cost. ,�fter some discussion, Mayor Nee

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING Of SEPTEMBER 20, 1976 Page 2
Mr. Otto G. Tauer, 359 57th Place then spoke regarding his concern for the property �
located at 359 57th Place, Lots 9, 10, and 11 which measures 120' frontal area. He
stated that some problems have arisen on this job because a�nroxir�ately one-half of
the 120' was done in 1971 and he purchased the building under a contract at the
end of October, 1973, and now the City was assessin� him for the entire 120' and
he felt this was unfair since he did not own the property when the first 60' were
put in. He further stated that his agent called P1r. Hamernik and tir. Herrmann �
and he discovered that the first 60' were put in in 1971 and this was partially
paid for by a state aid project and reiterated that he should not have to pay for
these 60'. Mr. Tauer also stated that when he bouqht the property, he had the
real estate office go to the Fridley City Hall and they said there were no assessments
on the property other than $420 which is not concerned with the EQ'. He stated that
he would like the 60' waived. Councilman Hamernik then stated that he did meet with
Mr. Tauer and he had expressed his concern regarding this, and Councilman Hamernik
agreed that there was a hardship here. hlayor PJee asked P1r. Tom 6edde, City Attorney's.
office, if he would check into this and advise P1r. Hamernik of his findings. P1ayor
Nee further commented that there was reason to believe that the City made a minor error
in 1971. Councilman Hamernik will review this and bring it back to the City Council
in one week.
Mayor Nee then continued the discussion and asked if there were any questions regarding
60th Avenue between 5th and 7th Streets and a visitor raised a question regarding
what faotage was being assessed. Mayor Nee responded two-thirds of the side lot
footage.
Mayor Nee then asked for any comments renardinn 5th Street between 60th and 61st
Avenues. P1rs. Dolores Keith, 60n1 Fifth Street res�onded to this. She stated that
the driveway slope was very stee� and anticipated nothinq but �roblems in the wintertime
and feels it should be renlaced. Mrs. Keith stated that after several months, the
City informed her that it could not be replaced. Mr. Sobiech stated that another
survey of her driveway could be made. F1rs. Keith then asked the Cit,y Council if s;he
could leave a copy of a letter she had with the Council re�ardinn this, and they
accepted same. Mayor Nee assured P1rs. Keith that the matter u�ould be checked out
in the forthcominn week.
�Aayor Nee then proceeded to the next property for discussion -- 6th Street between
60th and 61st Avenues, and there was no response. He did ask P1r. Iferrmann, however,
if the side yard spread is on 7th. P9r. Herrmann responded that it was.
R1a,yor Nee then asked if anyone had any cor�r�ents regardinn 7th Street and the side
yard spread and there was no res�onse.
, P1r. Dick Sobiech then stated that the remainin� portion in the 1976-1 Street Improve-
ment Project ��as a new develonment on 71%Z Vlay Pl.E. from P,iverviev� Terrace to the east.
The front footage r«te for this imorovement was $21.E1. He further indicated that
� the Preliminary Assessment Hearing resulted in a direction fror� the City Council to
• prepare this assessment roll in a different manner than the norr�al �olicy; and based
on that policy, certain finures were determined and �iven to the oeonle affected by
the improvement. Mayor idPe then asked if there was an,yone nresent who wished to
discuss this matter. P1r. Ed Plovak, 135 79%2 Way PJ.E., raised the question about his
( assessment figure of �11,965.45, and he �•�ould like to see this reduced to 510,�?h.
� He further pointed out that at the last Council meetinn, the assessment fi�ure was
$11,195 and now it was higher. Councilman Fitznatrick stated that fror� the information
he received from P1r. Sobiech on Friday, Sentember 17th, "1r. f!ovak's assessment would
! be �10,924. Mr. Sobiech responded that the $10,9?n fiaure vias correct.
P4r. Leif Henriksen, developer, stated that he develoned Alden Circle and wanted to know
1ow much his assessment was c�oinc� to be. At the last City Council meetinc�, his
assessment was supnosed to be �n1,969.10. On �1ay llth, �1r. Henriksen spoke to
Mr. Tom Colbert, Assistant City Ennineer; and Ptr. Colbert told him that if he could go
into a different curbing in his area, his assessment would c�o down q520. P1avor Plee
asked Nr. Henriksen if the City had not made an anree!�ent vlith him: and, �1r. Qureshi,
Gity Manager, asked Mr. Henriksen if he had the a�reer�ent with hir�. �1r. Henriksen then
gave the a�reement to Mr. Qureshi. ►1r. �ureshi nroceeded to ask �ir. Sobiech to qive
him the information on the final cost of the �roject. fqr. Sobiech �ave the fioure of
$40,741.28. Mayor Nee then asked if there were any other �uestions reaarding this, and
there was no response.

open the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Uoon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the Public Hearing
o�ened at fi:39 p.m.
Mr. Dick Sobiech stated that this was a request for vacation of an unimproved alley
and that there �vas a lenethy discussion at the Planninq Commission meeting of
July 14, 1976. After receiving several petitions and comments from the residents
in the area, the Planning Commission made a motion to Council for denial of the
request for vacation, but there was a three to three vote on that motion; therefore,
the Planning Commission passed the item without recommendation. Mayor Nee stated
that several letters have been received on the matter.
MOTIQN by Councilman Fitzpatrick to receive the letters. Seconded by Councilman
Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting a,ye, f�layor Plee declared the motion carried
unanimously.
Mayor Pdee then asked the audience who was present to discuss the matter and F1r.
Charles M. Sprafka, 280 Ely Street Pl.E., stated that he was in favor of closing off
the alley for several reasons, i.e., safety, appearance of the alley, and if the
alley was vacated, they wo�ld improve it. Mayor �lee then asked h1r. Tom Gedde, City
Attorney's office, if he a:ould check into the legal ri.ahts of the alley. h1r.
Darrell C. tdystrom, 248 Ely Street fJ.E. then proceeded to show the City Council a
photograph of his home and stated that his was the only t�ouse on a hill on the block
with no access to his back yard. He would like to have the alley left open.
Ms. Judith A. Zukovrski, 249 Liberty Street N.E.. then spoke statinq that she and
others would like the alley left open, and based this on the fact that all the owners
were aware when L-hey bought thei� homes that th�e alley was unimproved.
Mr. Azad Mesrobian, 298 Ely Street N.E., further commented on the matter stating
that he realized the fact when he purchased his home the alley was there. However,
he now feels that the current problems he and others are havin�, were not anticipated
at that time. He also strongly felt that the alley was an unnecessary hazard their
children were being subjected to.
Mr. ��arvin Hietala, 239 Liberty Street N.E., stated that he was opposed to the alley
being vacated. Since the area was desi�ned approximate.ly thirty years ago and it had
the alley in the plans at that time, he questioned why permits were issued in the
first place if there was no roor� to aet into the bac.k yards.

P1r. Donald Noff, 215 Liberty Street N.E., stated that he would like to have the altey
left open as it was the only access to the back yard. �trs. Janet Hoff, 215 Liberty
Street N.E., then commented that she was in favor of the ailey bein� left open. She
further stated that when she utilizes her back yard, there is a minimal amount of traffic;
and also the fact that the a11ey, if left open, would be accessible for boats and campers.
P1r. Gene Bronski, 225 Liberty Street PI.E., briefly stated that he would like to have
the alley left open.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he has a mao preaared, althou�h not with him, with
those for and against the issue; and it aopears that the �eople who oppose the issue
certainly feel much stronger at least in nur�ber, than those in favor.
P1r. Ken Brustad, 272 Ely Street P1.E., commented that he believed the alley should be
closed, as it is nothing but a nui:sance.
F1r. H. Walters, 262 Ely Street P1.E., stated that he has access in the front and back
and has used the alley for over thirty years and stron�ly believes the alley should
be left open.
Mr. Tom Gedde, City Attorney's office, then stated that he just had a brief discussion
with h1r. Qureshi; and since it was apparent that some of the people need the alley to
have access to their garage and if this were the case, then perhans the City would be
' liable. He said he would submit a more detailed report on the matter. Mayor Nee then
asked if the Engineering Department would provide a more detailed report as well.
t1s. Sharon M. tlystrom, 248 Ely Street Pd.E., then commented that she would like the alley
� left open as she has a garden in her back yard and with the alley beinn left open, it
is more accessible to do an�� +•rork back there. She also believed that there were no kids
who had driven minibikes in the alley.
Ptrs. Karen t1esrobian, 298 Ely Street N.E., responded that the minibikers come from
' other neighborhoods and go throu�h the alley unaware of the chilren and sor�etimes,
as fast as 40 m.p.h.
�1ayor Nee then asked if there were any other corr�ents, and hearin9 no response, stated
� that the City Council will not act on the matter in question this evening as it is a

PUBLIC HEARIPJG ON BUDGET:
� � Mr. Qureshi, City htanac�er, stated to the City Council that he would �ive a brief
review of the budget as submitted. The r,ronosed budqet �rovides for an estimated mill
rate of 1�.66 which is a minor reduction fror� the 1n.76 actual r�ill rate for 1976. He
� further mentioned that this was an estimated fimir•e because they do not get the final
( evaluation fror� the County before the end of the year because of the fiscal disparity
� law. It is an estimated fioure and generally in the oast, the City has been able
to come fairly close to it. Also, the miil levy wili raise anoroximately 5i% of the
� budget, �9% will be financed by inter-governmental aids, City's charc�es for services,
; fines, licenses, and other r�iscellaneous items that we have. He further stated that
� j he wished to point out to the City Council on the revenue side the numerous recreation
( fee, licenses and permit fees, and the charcles have been increased. These charges are
� reflected on the revenue side for 1977. !1r. Qureshi referred to the budcret stating
�
�
�

it showed a figure of over $200,000 for revenue sharing, and it was in the hope that
the revenue sharing will be extended in 1977. fle further pointed out that if the
proposed budget is accepted by the City Council, they were levying approximately 14.07
mills for general operations; .26 mills for retiring Civic Center bonds which are still
running, and .33 mills for the Capitai Improvement Furd, making a total of 14.66.
Therefore, the general fund operations mi11 rate would be a little over 14 mills.
In a review of tne budgei this year, $8,000 is being provided for human services, $5,000
in the Park and Recreation budget and $3,000 provided in the Community Development
budget. Also, there is a provision for $5,000 for next year for community celebration
funds.
Mayor Nee then asked Mr. Qureshi if the new budget was basically the same as in the
past and he responded it was with slight modifications. Mayor Nee briefly stated
that as a matter of information, the administration has been moved in the direction
of program base budgeting in which they attempt to identify the real cost of the
various services that the City provides. He further added that he believed this to
be a very well ana1yzed budget. He asked for a;�y comments on the subject, and there
was no response. Mayor Nee mentioned that the documentation of the budget was available
at the podium.
REVENUE SHARIhG FUNDS:
Mayor Nee then asked tu move on to the use of the revenue sharing funds which are over
$200,000. P1r. Qureshi proceeded to discuss the matter stating that we anticipate
the half year payment in 1977 if the program was not extended by Congress, this would
force the City to draw on the reserve money we carry for the City's operations. Also,
it would potentially strain our contingency fund area. He further stated that a
review has been given outlining revenue sharing covering programs which would give
approximately $3,100 to the Finance Department, $41,780 to the Police Department,
$4,138 to the Fire Department, $9,.;oU to Community Development, $i1,900 to i:he Civic
Center, $1,19� to Engineering, 548,150 to Public Works Maintenance, $52,437 to Parks,
and $27,835 to the Naturalist Department.
t Mayor Nee then asked if there were any questions from ±he City Council or anyone else
' on the matter, and there was no response.

OLD BUSINESS:
CONSIDERATIOtv OF VARIAPICES REQUESiED BY M& I SUPPLY COMPANY, INC., 6005 UNIVERSITY
AVENUE N.E. TABLFD 9/13!76 :
Mr. ►dayne Bensori, the contractor with Shepherd Construction, stated that the Appeals
Commission granted the requests for variances with stipulations, and they have been
agreed to. Mr. Torn 6edde, City Attorney's office, stated that he and Councilman Hamernik,
prior to the meeting, discussed the criteria for granting variances generally and also
whether or not stipulaticns could be attached to the variance. He further commented
that the first consideration for the Council is to determine whether or not there are
circumstances unique to the particular property, such that the strict enforcement of
the ordinance would create an undue hardship to the property owners. In addition, the
granting of the variance should not be unduly detrimental to the public welfare or
injure other property.
Mayor Nee then asked Mr. Gedde i*, in his opinion, there v,�as an area that could be
considered a valid hardship. It was Mr. Gedde's feelirgs that the fact that there
could be an economic hardship to a particular property owner, if he or she is unable to
expand, is not necessarily a unique circumstance.
Mr. Benson then commented that the hardship would be the possibility of M& I not being
able to buy an a large volume basis, and the stora�e is needed for that purpose, and
the inconvience and hardship would fall upon the people who use the services of M& I.
Also the hardship of the employees who live in Fridley who would have to drive elsewhere
to be able to still work at "1 & I should M& I be compelled to move to larger quarters.

PUBLIC NEARING MEETING OF SEPTEPI6ER 20, 1976 . Page 7
Mr. Barker, who lives behind P1 & I Supply, Co., Lots 14 and 15, was present and stated
that he would not like to see the building expanded. Nr. Benson then asked Mr. Barker
how long he intended to live at his residence and he responded approximately .for one
more year.
Councilman Hamernik stated that althouah the City appreciates F1r. Goldstein's business
for the past sixteen years, however, the property owners situation should also be
considered. (This item was discussed further after the recess.) �

Mayor Nee called a recess at 10:20 p.m.

Councilman Hamernik then stated that after much consideration he feels that the landscaping
improvements to the area are going to be of some benefit aesthetically and the property
will not be devalued. In addition, one of the unique or at least unusual circumstances
of the property owned by P1 & I is that althou�h it is zoned cor�mercial, the size of the
lot is minimal when compared to most commercial lots in Fridley. Therefore, to require
M& I to abide by normal set back requirements on a minimum size lot would cause an
undue hardship and reduce the value of the property as a commercial property. Further,
the stipulations imposed on the granting of the variance will prevent significant adverse
effect on the value of adjoining properties and that more harm would be done to the subject
property by refusing to grant the variance than will be done to the neighboring properties
' b..�, granting the variance.
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to grant the variance as per the recommendations of the
Appeals Ccmmission with stipulations as stated, with the addition of stipulation flo, 3
requiring a mansard on the west and south sides of the building, stioulation tdo. 4
that there be a six foot high fence and the plantinas as noted on the submitted plan
of September 13th, 1976 by,P1 & I; and No. 5 that the outside develo�ment and landscapine
be completed by July 1, of 1977. Seconded by Councilaioman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote,

September 20, 1976. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Nee then continued with the consideration of the second readin9 of an ordinance
and asked if there was a^yone who wanted ta comment on it. Mr. Robert Shimanski then
commented that he believed for the Burnsville Ordinance to be imposed would be very
strict, since Fridley has had no ordinance and to adopt this would be going from one
extreme to another. Mayor Nee asked Mr. Shimanski if he had something specific he
wanted to mention concerning this and Mr. Shimanski responded that he would like to
be able to have dancers at the Canterbury Pub two nights per week. �layor PJee then
asked the Council if the ordinance had been circulated, and Councilman Fitzpatrick stated
that he believed anyone who had a liquor license would be interested in it.
Mayor Nee corrmented that he was not sure if this was a good ordinance for Fridley or not.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he felt it was a very serious matter when there is

PUBLIC HEARIP�G P1EETING OF SEPTEMBER 20, 1976 Page 9
Mrs. Shirley A. Erwin, 2518 Dupont Plorth, P1inneapolis, then sooke to the Council regarding
a specific problem regardin� a ne�•� co�plex called the Rice Creek Townhouses. They
are located at 69th Avenue and County Road H, on the borderline of Anoka County (Fridley)
and Ramsey County (�dew Brighton). F1rs. Erwin's in-laws have owned the property on the
New arighton side since 1929. They have five acres that take up part of the Rice Creek
area. Rice Creek on the Fridiey side is presently zoned for a park and the part on the
other side of the boudary is private property owned by P1rs. Erwin's in-laws. Her
father-in-law and brother-in-law have problems with the renters in the apartment complex
(Rice Creek_Townhouses) and were assaulted. She further� mentioned that the tenants
do not seem to understand that they are trespassin9, as her in-laws side of the boundary
is private property. Councilman Starwalt asked 11rs. Erwin if she has �resented any
letters or legal documents to the City and she resnonded that she has not. Ptr. Qureshi,
City �ianager, stated that it appears to him that perhans the people do not know where
the boundary line ends and the private property starts. "1rs. Erwin further stated that
before she pursues legal representation, as was sugqested by Councilman Starwalt, she is
going to send certified letters to the owners, managers, and caretakers of the complex
and see if she could resolve the problem that way.
INSURAPICE SPECIFICATIOPJS:
P1r. P1arvin Brunsell, finance Director, asked the Council if anyone had any comments on
the insurance specifications and bidding prices. Piayor flee proceeded to ask P1r.
Brunsell if he needed to employ the consultant now and he responded that he did not.
However, the bids would be coming in around the 20th of October. Councilman
Fitzpatrick asked P1r. Brunsell how often did this occur and he responded, every
three years. Councilman Starwalt questioned whether Council could wait on this and
see what the bids look like and then decide. P1r. 8runsell stated that he thought the
bids could be received and perhaps not award them for a week or two. He further comroented
that his office can analyze the bids and give their recommendation, P1r. Qureshi
summarized the discussion by statin:� that they are going to nroceed, and if there is a
need for the consultant, they will come back.
CHARTER A�1EP1DP9EMTS:
P1r. Qureshi then commented on the Charter amendments statinn to the Council that there
; was a first readinn on the amendments and he believed there was a desire on the part
of the Charter Commission to get some feedback from the Council. He then asked
f1r. Brunsell if there was a need for �ublication and can it be done. P1r. Brunseli
responded it would have to be next week, however, he believed it was really too late to
get anything on this ballot. Mayor Nee stated that he met with P1r. Ray Sheridan and
Mr. Cliff Ash in an effort to avoid putting all the sections on the ballo�. He also
suggested to them that he �•:ould not object to adopting the ordinance. He did not
, know if the Charter Commission was goinq to adont it. Mr. Qureshi stated that the
Charter Commission has adopted it, and that information will be available next Ptonday.
He added that he just wanted to bring the matter to the Council's attention.

open the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Uqon a voice vote,
all voting aye, P1ayor Nee declared the motion carried unanir�ously and the Pubiic
Hearing ooened at �:43 p.m. �
Mr. Marvin Brunsell, Assistant City Planager/Finance Director, stated that the assessment
roll is for the removal and treatment of trees. Some of the work k�as done in the latter
part of 1975 and the balance in 1976. There is a$25.00 administrative charqe added to
the �mount that the contractor billed the City. Mr. Brunsell further stated that if
the assessment roll were adopted, it would be spread over a five year period with interest
at the rate of seven and one-half (7'z%) percent per year.
Mayor Nee then asked P1r. Charles Strike, CETA Forester, to explain how the tree removal
operation works. Mr. Strike then proceeded to explain that the City ordinance specifies
that the time alloted for tree remova] after notice has been niven is ten days. However,
if for some reason of hardship, some other reasonable explanation, or if the individual(s)
cannot get their tree down within ten days, an extension can be qiven. In essence, it
is from ten to twenty days for tree removal. Mayor P�ee further asked Mr. Strike how
the City gets involved and what is the cost. Mr. Strike responded that the person(s)
that have the tree marked and wish to cut it down and pile the brush and logs by the curb,
the City will haul the brush and logs away and the City will pay the cost for this. If

' the person(s) do not wish to remove the tree, the City then pays fifty (50%) percent
of the total cost and the homeowner pays fifty (50/) percent of removal and disposal.
i Therefore, the contractor quotes a certain amount per inch and brush removal is included
� in that amount. For example, if a tree costs $200 to come down, the homeowner would only
have to pay $100 and the total cost of $200 includes brush removal and cutting the tree
� down.
Councilman Starwalt stated that he understood that last year there was a split in the
cost but that this year if the tree was on.City property the City handled it, but
� if it were on the private owner's property, it was his responsibility and questioned
�whether there are now two types of circumstances in the assessment roll. Pir. Strike
; responded that this was so, explaining that boulevard trees are removed by the City
i and the City does all the work involved. If the tree is not on the boulevard and
, obviously on a homeowners property, either the homeoamer has the City do the work and
they are billed for fifty (50%) oercent of the total cost or they do the a�ork, pile
' the brush and logs by the street, and the City pays the cost for hauling the brush and
log5. � ,
Mayor Nee asked if there was anyone present who wanted to discuss the subject matter.
Mr. Bill Tonco, 5925 Hackmann Avenue N.E., Lot 3, Block 2, stated that last year in
October, he was contacted by a forester (whose name he could not remember) regarding
the removal of a tree; and this was acceptable to him since it was on the boulevard and
not on his property. He further stated that he is now beinn assessed for it and feels
he should not have to pay for the removal of it. Mr. Dan Huff, PJaturalist/Resource
Coordinator, stated that his office would be happy to recheck the property, if Mr. Tonco
would give him his telephone number, he would be th?re the follo�ving day to survey it.
Ftr. Huff did ask P1r. Tonco if the tree straddled the line, and he responded that it does
to some extent. Mayor Nee stated that there was a chance that Council would not adopt
the proposed assessment roll this evening, although they could. They wc.•ld probably
want to wait and consider the matter further. P1r. Tonco stated that this,was agreeable
�'with him. Mr. Stev?n Wiebur, 6005 5th Street P1.E., i:hen stated that he would like to
' comment on his objection to the assessment, in that he and his family moved into their
home a year ago this October and after two weeks received notice reqarding an assessment
for tree removal. Fle further stated that he believed the former owners of the house
. were aware of this and failed to mention it to him. P1r. Dan Huff stated that he was
sure that his office �rade arrangements to take the trees down with the previous ovmers,
and that when it came up to take the trees down, probably he was selling the house to
Mr. Wiebur, and perhaps the previous owners did not want to tell P1r. 4liebur of this
fact. Mayor Nee�then stated that he would like to get more background data and for
Mr. 4fiebur to contact Councilman Hamernik regarding this.
MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilman
Hamernik. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Playor Flee declared the motion r.arried

CONSIDERATION OF VACATION REQUEST, STREET AND ALLEY VACATION SAV #76-04, BY KAREN
MESROBIAN; UNIMPROVED ALLEY BtTWEEN LIBERTY ST. AND ELY STREET:
Mr. Tom Co]bert, Assistant Engineer, stated that this was a request to vacate an alley
'' bounded by Liberty Street, Ely Street, Ruth Street, and Ashton Avenue. At the Planning
' Comnission's meetinq of July 14, 1976 a motion to deny the vacation request failed to
� pass by a tie vote; and therefore, YJdS brought to the Council's attention with no
reconunendation from the Planninn Commission. �1r. Tom Geddy, City Attorney's office,
stated that in his opinion if it is just a question of an access to a vacant back yard,
it would probably be very marginal as to whether or• not one could collect damages
from the City. However, if the alley is being used to get to the garages and the garages
cannot be reached from the street in front of the houses, the City could be liable for
damages to the particular property owners involved. Councilman Fitzpatrick then
commented that in reading over the minutes befcre the Planninq Commission and the hearina
that was had before the Council and the letters that were received, he was convinced `
that a number of people use the access in question and it was in existence as such
when they arranged their habits as far as access to their property.

Mayor Nee stated that there was a public hearing on the matter and asked if anyone
had any questions regarding the subject.
I t4r. 4Jilliam Tonco, 5925 Hackmann Avenue, stated that regarding his prooerty, the tree
� that was planted is a boulevard tree and not his res�onsibility. h1r. Plasim (lureshi,

in planning since it was planted on private property. P1ayor Nee stated that he believed
the City had a certain responsibility in the matter and asked Mr. Tonco how he would
feel about a fifty-fifty payment split and he comment,ed that it would be better than
nothing.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the assessment cost of the particular tree in
question being split one half by Mr. Tonco and one half by the City. Seconded by
� Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all votinn aye, �1ayor Nee declared the

� Mayor Nee asked if there were any further discussions regarding the matter and
� Mr. Steven Wieber, 6005 5th Street M.E., spoke statincl that he ai:tended the public �
hearing the week before and voiced his opinion in opposition of his being assessed.
Councilman Hamernik then proceeded to comment that after some discussion with Mr.
Wieber, it was his position that the City followed the nonnal procedures in carryin�
. out an assessm?nt such as this, and the fact was that notification was sent to the former
' owners. Councilman Namernik stated that he indicated to P1r. Wieber that he hoped
,� Mr. Wieber would handle this as an assessment anainst his propert,y.
Mayor Nee then asked Mr. Virgil Herrick, City Attorney, his opinion regarding this
and h1r. Herrick stated that if valid notice was 9iven to the property owners who own
the property at the time, that would be binding on anyone who buys the oroperty. He
further pointed out that it is the oblination of the person that is sellinn the property
to notify the person Hlho is buying it, and that P1r. 4!ieber m«y have a claim against
the former owner, but he didn't think P1r. 4lieber had a claim against the City. !
P1ayor Nee commented that the tree was red marked; however, �1r. 4lieber stated that
he did not notice the trees when he bought the house. Mr. Herrick asked �1r. k'ieber
if he knew where the former owner� were livir,a and he commented that the realtor
informed him somewhere in Ohio. However, there was a sister livin� in towr.. Dr. Huff
asked Mr. Wieber in+hy he did not cor�tact the City and inquire H�ho was �oinn to pay for
the removal at the time the tree was removed. hlavor Nee then gave Mr. 4Jieber a copy
of the research that was done. P1r. Brunsell, �inance Director, uraed the Council to
adopt the resolution at this time and said the Council could always take action between
now and November•15th, or scrnetime thereafter, reaarding the assessment; as this was
the last meeting and his office was required to certify the.charnes to the County by
October 10, i976. Councilman Hamernik stated that he would be in favor of this. P1ayor
Nee stated that if further interaction by P1r. Wieber was to be done, perhaps an amendment

on the acquisition of tax forfeit properties next to Innsbruck Plorth Park, the proposal
is to acquire all the property except only acquire 12 feet access easement on Lot 1,
Block 1, Carl Peterson Addition.
Councilman Starwalt indicated maybe we should acquire that lot also and then later make
a determination to sell portions of Lot 1, Block l, Carl Peterson Addition, also Lot
42, Auditors Subdivision �92, and also acquire all these lots outright so that any of
these properties can be sold, especially these two lots.
Mr. Qureshi indicated that orce the property is acquired, there miqht be some resistance
from the people to sell these properties because they would think the City was disposing
of some park property, even though the City is buyirg these properties with the intention
of selling it, and this route m;ght be financially better for the City to follow.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to approve the Memorandum of Understandinc� with the
