ROLL CALL� MEMBERS PRESENT MEMBERS ABSENT PROCLAMATION Councilwoman Kukowski, Counc�lman Starwalt, Mayor Nee, Councilman Hamer m k and Councilman Fitzpatrick None P4ayor Nee stated that March has been designated as Red Gross Month in Fridley Those who have been here for a number of years know the Red Cross has been �nstrumental in the flood of 1965 in assisting the C�ty in its need and also in the tornadoes of 1965. They have been tnstrumental in the operation of blood banks, and they are presently becom�ng more active in Fridley In view of the support they have given to Fridley he thought it appropriate that the prociamation be gtven.

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. OPEN FORUM, vISITORS Mayor PJee stated that the Council sets a period of time for people to comment on inatt�rs on the agenda, whether it be queries, explanations, or critic�sms, and the public has an opportunity to speak at this time. No one responded to the Mayor's call in this matter. OL� BUSINESS: 4TION OF SPEC .E. TABLED 2 SP The Public Works �irector, Mr•. Dick Sobiech, stated that this �s a petition or request to allow an outside d�splay and the sale of mobile homes at the Hol�day Village Shopping Center site at 47th Avenue and University. The site �s in the southwest corner of the Holiday Village property This matter had been tabled to allow additional input in some specific areas, and he would like to proceed on these. One of the �nitial items of concern was the traffic movement in �d out of the area The Public Works Director then called attention to the letter wr�tten P4arch 10, 1976, where Mr. 8eckler has outlined his intentions and agreements on the special use permit request. Item Number 5 in h�s letter concerns the movement of the mobile units on and off the lot between 8:30 and 11 30 A.M. and a spec�al permit would be required by the Highway Department which would review the routes and would approve or d�sapprove of routing depending on the access or the easy flow of traffic. The flow would be on University Avenue to 57th Avenue and to the westerly entrance of the Hol�day Center property and then to the area reyuested for the special use permit Another item of concern was the landscaping. The Pu61ic Works Director stated that the staff had been working with Mr. Beckler to come up with landscaping plans that would be an improvement on the existing stte A proposal is to have ten um ts displayed in con�unction with an office structure. These would be surrounded by sodding, some trees and bushes He said a permanent s�tuation in this regard would be desirable. Railroad ties and trees and sodd�ng would be �ncorporated to make the green areas and additional landscaping would be incorporated around the laight poles in the area. REGULAR P1EETING OF MARCH 15, 1976 PAGE 2 Another� item of concern was the sign. The pet�t�oner can meet a71 the requ�rements of the s7gn code by the �nstallation of a wall sign placed on the office structure. The staff, however, felt it might not look the best, and the staff would propose a free standing sign, however, this Would require a variance because only one is permitted per frontage and there is one at the intersection of Main and I.694 A final consideration and concern was the parking area. The area was scaled and from that it was determ�ned that from the ex�sting code approximately 1,045 stalls would be requ�red. At present there are about 1,109 which �s more than adequate at the present time, but with the tnstallation of a mobile home s�te th�s quantity would be reduced by 94, mak�ng a defi cit of 30 spaces Some of the deficit coultl be made up by some parking along the easterly and westerly extremtties of the site, thus reducing the defictt to approximately ten stalls. The Public Works Director cautioned that the number of stalls required is only an estimate- and whether a deficit extsts only time will tell. Mr. Beckler stated that the sign would be less than 50 square feet The plans are for one 12'x4', which is less than the maximum the code specif�ed. Mr. Beckler said the s�gn was for people as they appr�oached the sales area. They were not attempting to show it to anybody on I.694. The Public Works Director said that if a parking problem developed, some of the units could be shifted around and Mr Beckler has agreed if the parking was a problem he would revise the layout to come up w�th the additional space. Councilman Fttzpatrick asked if the nursery area would be a parking area. The Publ7c Works Director said it would not be. Councilwoman Kukowski asked Mr. Beckler asked about the movement of the trailers. Mr. Beckler said he would abide with the stipulation for certain hours. He said that although h�s letter said between 8.30 and 11.30 A.M., he figured the movements would be between 9.00 and 11.00 A.M. He was giving himself a half an hour leeway in case a problem arose Counctlwoman Kukowski asked if it would be feasibie to grant the perm�t wtth an annual review. Mr Beckler replied that as long as he was be�ng treated fa�rly and as long as he was running the operation, he would have no dtsagreement with �t, and he would agree to th�s st�pulation. Councilman Fitzpatr�ck stated that he felt the request is coming from the wrong angle. Logically the request should come from Holiday Vtllage to have the outdoor concession of some kind, and the Holiday representative is not present. He said the question had been ra�sed to the City Attorney about the s�tuation in terms of two bus�ness on a s�ngle piece of property. He said we are trytng to do two things in that we are saying we don't have two, we have one that is a concess�on and yet the 6usiness is not the one mak�ng the request. The City Attorney said that may be true, but he noted in Mr. Beckler's letter that the applicant �s agreeable that the permit be issued to Holiday. The City Attorney said that in h�s opinion, if the Counc�l grants the permit, it should be granted to Holiday Uillage and they could sub-lease, but the property owner is the one responsible to the City for the promises that have been made for the spec�al use permtt, and the City should look to them for recourse if there is any 6reach of agreement. He was not able to find any stated restrictions in our ordtnances or in the statues about two businesses on one piece of property, and he supposes the question is at least partially removed in the even the permit is issued to Holiday V�llage. Councilman Fitzpatrick sa�d that we are mov�ng awfully fast here. We �ust rezoned the property to bring it �nto conform�ty with the use, and now we have a request for a non-conformity w�th the next zoning There are some cleanup stipulations we haven't had the time to observe one way or the other at the present t�me. Mayor Nee said that on the question of various businesses occupying the same site, almost any shopping center has the same situation. Councilman Hamernik asked about setting a precedent for other areas. The question he has is how str�ct is the ordinance on parking. Is this the only means of control that we have on parking Anyone can apply for a special use permit to put in a concession The C�ty Attorney replied that assuming it �s properly zoned, �f they met w�th every requirement for screening, it would be correct. In regard to the Mayor's quest�on on excess space that is not legally used for a bus�ness presently there, he said that the She7don Mortenson Shopp�ng Center on the corner of Central Avenue and the freeway has from time to ttme !�ad a number of businesses put on the property, such as, Howard Johnson, Twin City Federal, and perhaps a car wash in the back � � � � � � REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 15, 1976 ^N PAGE 3 area, and he assumed the same criteria applied Where there was sufficient space the permit was granted It is true that those businesses are somewhat different in that they have a permanent structure and do not necessarily have outs�de storage It becomes a question of zon�ng and sufficiency of space Councilman Starwalt mentioned the cleanup aspect and said he would like that pursued further. Mr Beckler stated that he would be the responsible person �n the matter of cleanup in the back area. Mr 6eckler said that the permit could be issued �n his name since he would be running the operation Councilman Fitzpatrick comrnented that he thoughtthe whole thing should be coming from Holiday. The City Attorney sa7d that if the Council is not pleased with the outcome of this, he thought the proper remedy would 6e to take a look at the zoning code and see what is perm�tted in the commercial zones and perhaps the staff could give some thought to whether this is a proper use within this type of zoning The Public Works Director stated there �s a performance bond on the property The C�ty Manager said that if the Council is inclrned to do so they could issue a special use permi� and add stipulations to it. In response to a question the City Attorney said that the reason you have special use permits is 6ecause w�thin certa�n classifications of zoning there are some uses that normally would be permitted, but because of the character of the use, or because of other surround�ng conditions, it may not be appropr�ate on all property that 7s zoned for a particular classification. The reasoning for a spec�al use permit would 6e so the Council could review that parttcular use on a specific piece of property to determine �f it creates any adverse effects on the health, safety and welfare of the residents of the community or on the surround�ng property, and the burden is on the Council to show that tt should not be granted The Public Works Director stated that the special use perm�t is for outdoor d�splay to allow mobile home sales operation. The Ctty Attorney said it could be for an appro- pr�ate period of time, and one of two things can be done make it for a period of three years sub�ect to annual review or make it for a period as short as one year, but he felt it would be w�th the understanding that if the �nd�vidual compl�ed w�th the requirements it would have to be renewed. He did not think you could have him come in and spend that kind of money and have it in operation only one year. The City Manager stated that the outdoor display requ�res a spec�al use permit, 6ut the Counct7 has the prerogattve of adding stipulations That is the basic purpose of a special use perm�t. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick, seconded by Counc�lman Starwalt, that the Special Use Permit SP #75-30 be granted for a period of one year to be renewable on review atthat time with the stipulations agreed to by the pet�tioner in his letter nf March 10, 1976 which is the agenda, and with the stipulations that the office building be viewed as a�rmanent structure for tax purposes, and that �f a problem developed w�th the parkin9, revisions to the site layout would be made. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously NEW BUSINESS: CONSIDERATION OF THE FIRST REA�ING OF AN ORDINANCE FOR REZONING ZONING The Public Works Director explained that the request was to allow a business enterprise to operate in this area for the sale of new and used class�c and antique auto parts. The Planning Comm�ssion recommended approval of the zoning with the st�pulation that the remaining parcel of property be rezoned to assure that there would not 6e an undevelopable parcel of property. He stated that Mr Haluptzok was not present, how- ever, in a discussion wtth the petitioner it was indicated that prior to the f�nal cons�deration by the Council there would be certain agreements wrth the pet�tioner whereby he would agree to the various stipulations and suggestions made by the Plann�ng Commission. MOTION by Counc�lman Starwalt, seconded by Councilwoman Kukowskr, to adopt the rezoning ordinance on first reading, waiving the reading. Upon a vo�ce vote, all voting aye, iiayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 15, 1976 EIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING CDMMISSI RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PARKS AND RECR � 1 1 IN PAGE 4 FEB. 23. 1976 Mr. J�m Klemp, President of the AAU Swim Club said that he had appeared before the Council �n �anuary and requested $200 for a forthcoming meet. At that time Councilman Starwalt suggested that he go to the Parks and Recreation Commiss�on and discuss the request with them He ditl this at their January meet�ng and they referred him to the Fridley Youth Sports Associatton, but they were not able to support him because they were chartered to operate in the Fridley and Spring Lake Park schools. He went to the Parks and Recreation meeting in February and they made a mot�on that tt be brought to this Council, which is why he is here. The City Manager suggested the City shoultl encourage desired sports activities and thts should be considered in the budget�ng process. He said a resolution could be passed that would transfer money out of the contingency fund. This would require four votes of the Council The City Attorney sa�d he did not like the way it was being handled and strongly suggests that if the AAU wants additional money, they make application to the Council and have the Counc�l budget for it Then there would 6e no pro6lems. The City Manager inquired if there were any outstanding expenses that could be pa�d 6y the City Mr. Klemp replied that the coach�ng is the 6iggest expense-- the primary expense, and that hosting meets they can raise funds in add�tion to a rouser. Mr Klemp said that with the $200 the cost of patches for the meet could be paid. Councilman Starwalt said he recog m zed the worth of the AAU, and thought the Parks and Recreat�on bepartment would handle the $20D request, and he hadn't anticipated the delay caused by the vartous appearances in seeking funds. The City Attorney said he would urge Mr Klemp sometime before July, before the budget process �s finished, to have another session with the Parks and Recreation Department about trying to inteqrate this and they can make a proposal to the Council The Council can keep in mind that they had difficult legal problems in making the contr�but�on at this time, and when the next budget is made ma,�be some assistance can be given. Mr. Klemp said that in the future they w�ll prepare a f�nanc�al sheet and a l�sting of the ob,7ectives and go to the Parks and Recreation �epartment. He would like some support as th�s is an on-going th�ng. The program is not confined to the particular school or schools. MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowsk�, seconded by Counctlman Starwalt, to adopt Resolu- t�on No. 3D-1976 transferr�ng funds from the contingency fund to spend $200 for patches for the AAU Swim Club Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor PJee dec7ared the mot�on carr�ed unanimously. PRELIMINARY PLAT, P.S. #76-01, INNSBRUCK NORTH TDWNHOUSE IV & V, BY DARREL FARR MOTION by Counc�lman Starwalt, seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski, to set the publ�c hearing on the Plat P.S. #76-01 for April 12, 1976. Upon a voice vote, all Vot�ng aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried una m mously. PRELIMINARY PLAT, P S. #76-02, INNSBRUCK VILLAGE, BY DARREL FARR DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION MOTION by Counc�lman Starwalt, seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski, to set the public hearing on Plat P.S #76-02 for April 12, 1976 Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carrted unan�mously. Councilman Starwalt asked how people can be taxed at the same rate where we clear the snow off and where we dor�'t clear it off, and how can New Brighton close off the alleged pr�vate road. The Public Works Dtrector repl�ed that it is not a New Brighton road. It is not a public right-of-way �n New Brighton. The roadway that extends from Fridley to the S�lver Lake Road is an easement and the easement �s �n the name of Fridley. There was to be continued maintenance by the developer for a period of years. The same developer would have extended the roadway in New Brighton, but due to finances he no longer owns the property in New Brighton which is st�ll an easement. � � 1� REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 15, 1976 PAGE 5 The City Attorney suggested that the matter be taken up with the developer when the hearing comes up, that the required maintenance be done for a per�od of years on condttion of approving the request. The snowplowing and other maintenance in this matter was discussed and a suggestion was made by the Ciiy Attorney that this be referred to the Assessing �ivision. DESIGNATION OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER CORRI�OR AS A CRITICAL AREA The Public Works Director stated that due to the Critical Areas Act of 1973 � the Metro Council came up with some recommendat�ons designating the Mississ�ppi River as a critical area, and in 1974 they did adopt some rules, regulations and guidelines, and after some input from all parts of the metropolitan area that were affected by the proposal the Metro Council in 1975 finalized some recommendations in this area. The staff did review this and provided some input for the Metro Council in the establish�ng of the regulations, and since that time we have had a reorgam zat�on of the Planning Commission which now provides for the�r review. The Minnesota Environmental Comm�ss�on is reviewing the Metro Counc�l's recommenda- tions and they have come up with recommendat�ons of their own, and these amendments are currently undergoing a publ�c hearing and th�s is 6asically what was reviewed by the Fridley Environmental Quality Comm�ssion and the Planning Commission for possi6le input to the public hearing at the Metro level. The question arose as to what other mum c�palities are doing in relat�on to critical area. The Publ�c Works Director said they contacted Brooklyn Park and they are providing no input. Brooklyn Center is proceeding at the administrat�ve level. The proper person for this at Coon Rapids could not be contacted The Public Works Director further stated that at this point we feel the critical area is fine. It is hopefully going to protect certa�n resources of the Miss�ssipp� R7ver by providing a standard for development of the ad�acen �roperty. The Planning Commiss�on has proposed some recommendations to the Counc�l on some wording to the Minnesota Environmental Quality Counc�l. The letter drafted March 12, � 1976 by Jerrold 6oardman, City Planner, to the Minnesota Environmental Quality Council indicated those ttems the Planning Commission was concerned about, and these are numbers one, two and four. Item Number 3 was an initial concern of the staff when it was reviewed in early January of 1975 where there were soii�e defiini- � tton pro6lems of what is a river bank and what �s a river bluff He ha the impression that the area in Fr�dley is a rtver bank The Pu61ic Works Director said that Item Num6er five m the drafted lettei° is just an indication of what this critical area of des�gnation will do to Fr�dley He referred to the memo he received from the City Planner preceed�ng the corres- pondence to the MEQC and noted there are ten areas where the C�ty �s go�ng to have to be involved in esta6lishing rules, regulations and guidelines �n relation to the critical area. Fr�dley wtll have to come up with its own plans for enforc�ng and for basically prov�ding rules For development along the river. Referring again to the draft letter to the MEQC, the Pu61ic Works Director said that Item Number 5 lndtcated We feel it will take about $8,000 in admim strat�ve costs. This was another item requested in the public hearing notice Mayor Nee recommended that the letter prepared by Mr Boardman be ainmended to include a change in the proposed regulations on Page 17, Item I, Paragraph �2 The change would indicate ..."any non-residential structure .." in the second from the last line M�TI�N by Gounqlman Fitzpatrick to concur with the letter drafted by y=rrold � Boardman, City Planner, as amended with addition �n the proposed regulations on Page 17, Item I, Paragraph #2 to indicate. "any non-residential structure. ." in the second from the last line, and adopt �t as a statement of our input to the hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski.

He stated he had been at several hearings on th�s matter and he wants to get started with his development There was considerable discussion over dirt that remained on the property which should have been hauled away and he asked who was to bear the cost Mayor Nee declared a recess to obta�n records and to be able to answer the assess- ment questions more definitively. (Recess Taken) Mayor Nee called the meeting 6ack to order The Public Works Director sa�d that the Council did provide direct�on for alternative assessment rolls, but none of the alternat�ves related to the Riverv�ew Terrace question. The pro,7ect figures are in, we have the low b�d and the final figures can be provided. The City Attorney said that the Counc�l has gone as far as they could on the matter this evening, and the admin�stration would go over some of these because, as the Council is aware, it is necessary to make a finding of the 6enefits of the pro,7ect to determine the assessment. He would l�ke to be certain what rolls are presented to the Counctl so it can be logically defended in case a cit�zen appeals and 'ne would like to review this with the staff.

It would have advanced features and a seven year's ma�ntenance contract Tak�ng into account all of these things, it would mean a savings of about $35,000 over the seven years period, and the staff is recommending that b�ds be taken for it The machine can be reimbursed on a use basis by the different departments, and it does not change the 6udgeting process. � MOTION by Councilman Hamernik, seconded by Councilinan F�tzpatrick, to adopt Resolution No. 29-1976 and advertise for b�ds on the high spped photo copy equipment.
