Mr. Dick Sobiech, Public Works Director, indicated staff is working with the State
regarding this matter and we were advised that decibel readings were taken prior to

was contacted and he indicated there were no incidences of violence while Mr. Pendy
was in their employment in Spring Lake Park. He further stated the Chief of Police
in Spring Lake Park did not personally know Mr. Pendy; and therefore, no information

Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, indicated he discussed this matter with Mr. Jim Hill and
they are in agreement with a recommendation to the Council.
Mr. Nerrick stated, at the last meeting, the representatives of George's in Fridley

would be grounds for the City to cancel the license and terminate his employment
in the City as a bartender.

holders and specifically advise them it is their responsibility to get these

have to obtain a license, as specified in the ordinance.
MOTION by Councilwarian Kukowski to accept the City Attorney and Mr. Hill's recommendations
No. 1 and 2 as indicated above. Seconded by Councilman Schneider.
Councilman liamernik questioned if there wasn't some way for better enforcement of the
ordinance.
Mr. Herrick suggested suspension of a license for failure to comp�y with the ordinance,
but he would not recommend it in this situation since it is the first time the matter
has come ±o the Council's attention. He feit if a letter has gone out advising a11
license holders of the ordinance requirement and if the matter again comes before the
Council, it wouid be in order to suspend a license.

MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to set a public hearing regarding this item for
MaY 9, 7977. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimous7y.
APPEALS COMMISSION D4INUTES OF MARCH 15, 1977:
The Council received the above minutes and considered the follo�v�ng item:
7-11 STORE, 7899 EAST RIVER ROAD:
Mayor Nee stated the Appeals Commission failed to make a recommendation as a vote
on the motion resulted in a 2- 2 tie.
Mr. Dick Sobiech explained this request is for a number of variances to allow
construction of a commercial establishmeni at the intersection of 79th blay and
East River Road. He pointed out the property is surrounded on three different
sides by public right-of-ways. Variances would be needed to reduce the required
setback from East River Road, 79th Way and Lincoln Street, plus other variances
involving side yard� rear yard, boundary and parking lot requirements.
Mr. Sebiech trien reviewed the fifteen stipulations which the Council had placed
on the request received in 1975 for this proper�t,y.
In discussing the possible rezoning of the property from C-2S to C-1, it was noted,
if the rezoning was petitiened for and approved, it would reduce the number of
variances from six fio four.
Counci7man Fitzpatrick fe7t the variances were considered in relation to the present
C-2S zoning, and if the property was rezoned to C-1, it would reduce the number
of variances required.
_. Councilr+an Fitzpatrick asked what assurances the City would have the property would
' be rezoned to C-1, if action was taken on the variances. Mr. Sobiech indicated
no building permits would be issued until the applicant signed the petition for
rezoning.
' : Councilman Fitzpatrick indicated he �vas concerned that the size of the building :

REGULAR MEE7ING Of APRIL 4, 1977
PAGE 4
proposed is larger than the one prcposed two years aho and there would be an
encroachment on the surrounding properties.
Councilman Schneider indicated he shared Councilman Fitzpatrick's concern on the
encroachment and couldn't see how the variances would serve the public interest.
Mayor Nee stated he did vote for the variances in 1975 with some misgivings,
especially regarding the access to East River Road. He indicated he is not
prepared to vote at this time for any proposal with access to East River Road.
He felt access should be on the side street to serve this parcel.
Mr. Ernst, the applicant for the variances, stated the major concern is the
possibility of rezoning the site. He requested an opportunity to refer this
matter back to the owner of the property to see if the rezoning can be incorporated
with the variance requests and to determine if the access to the property can be
redesigned. Mr. Ernst explained there is a need for access off of East River
Road as the 7-11 store will nat develop this property unless they have access
onto East River Road.
Mayor Nee cited the example of Country Kitchen where access is from a side
street as the State Highway Department would not permit access directly from
T.H. 47 or University Avenue. He felt a similar situation would work well for
this property.
Mr. Herrick stated, unless there is an ordinance prohibiting it, they have a
right to have access onto a street of their choice.
Councilman Schneider stated he did not feel under any obligation to worsen the
situation ihat now exists.
Mr. Nerrick did not feel the Council was under any obligation to approve a
building of the size proposed by the applicant, but no useful service could be
found for the property without some variances. He felt a petition for rezoning
would be in order and Council could then look at the proposal in light of a C-1
zoning classification.
Councilman Fitzpatrick felt perhaps the Council should be polled to determine,
if another plan was submitted, if access would be allowed off of East River Road.
Councilman Hamernik indicated he wQuld be in favor of givinq the applicant the
� option of coming back with another proposal.
Mayor Nee stated he would give consideration to the variances, but would not be
in favar of access off of East River Road.
Counc�lman Schneider indicated he would be in favor of a reduction in size of
the proposed building.
Counci7woman Kukowski indicated she would favor the rezoning and a smaller building
and would like to see the cut differenily on the drivet,�ay.
It was the general consensus, after polling the Council, the members were not
opposed to the rezoning, but other concerns were access and the size of the
building.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to table this item to the Council meeing of
April 18, 1977. Seconded by Councilman Hamernik. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
COMMUNITY NE!dSPAPER: .
Mr. Belgum of the Human Rights Commission appeared before the Council in regard
to obtaining funds from the Council for conducting a survey to determine what
citizens in Fridley want to know to provide for a better system of communication.

REGULAR MEETING OF APRIL 4, 1977 PAGE 5
Mr. Belgum stated a student from the University's School of Journalism, who is
working on her Master's Degree, would conduct the survey and $500 would be needed
for typing, mimeographing and computing the results of the survey. The breakdown
of the costs were as follows: $50, typing and finalizing the interview schedule;
$300, coding for compuier; $100, computer time; and $50, mimeographing the final
report.
�
� ' Councilman Hamernik stated he had a list of persons serving on the committee.
Several of these persons were contacted and they were unaware of the request made
by Mr. Belgum. He indicated he was opposed to this request as he felt the committee
has not had an opportunity to express their opinion.
�
Mr. Belgum stated he had contacted all of the persons at some time or other and
from previous conversations with them felt they were interested.
Councilwoman Kukowski questioned Mr. Belgum whether the committee was aware he
was going to make this request of the Council. Mr. Belgum felt he couldn't answer
this as the problem did not come up and was not discussed.
Councilwoman Kukowski felt the City dces have an official newspaper and didn't
feel she could support, with taxpayer's money, a survey to determine if the
citizens are happy with the present ne�;spaper. Councilman Hamernik was in
agreement with Councilwoman Kukowski's statements. Councilman Fitzpatrick felt
the survey might address itself to the question if the communication problem is
actually a matter of disinterest or whether it is simply dissatisfaction with
the City's present communication media.
Mr. Belgum stated in talking to the people at the Schooi of Journalism, a community
newspaper was discussed and it was then felt a study should be made to determine
what the people want.
Councilman Schneider agreed tF�ere was a communication problem, but felt if a survey
was conducted the results could be tabulated without a computer. He felt there
was a problem with the City funding an enterprise in competition with private
enterprise and the City entering into a com�nunity newspaper venture. Councilman
fitzpatrick felt some of the negative reaction �vas reference to a community
newspaper, and indication is what they are really talking about is a survey.
Mr. Herrick indicated the Council should not consider this in terms of a community
newspaper. Ne felt if a survey is conducted to obtain citizen's attii:udes on
the problems, some of which may be communication, expenditure of this type could
probably be justified relative to using public funds for public purpose.
Mr. Nick Garaffa, 6750 Monroe Street, spoke in favor of a survey being conducted
to determine what things the people of Fridley want to know about. Ne felt a
copy of this survey should be provided to the Sun Newspaper so they would be
aware of what the needs of the City are and what the citizens want to know.
Councilwoman Kukowski indicated she would be in favor of tabling this item.
She noted the Community Education Public Relations Committee wi17 be meeting
during the week and making a determination on this matter and felt the proposal
should be 6rought back.
MOTION by Councilwoman Kukowski to table this item to the next regular meeting.
Seconded by Councilman Schneider.
Councilman Hamernik felt if a survey is done inadequately, it would probably be
more detrimental than if it was not done at all. He was concerned with the fact
that the people who have expressed an interest have not had an opportunity to
express their views and make a recommendation. He stated the proposal to �go to
an outside source to have a survey conducted was putting the cart before the horse.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN QN THE MOTION, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the
motion carried unanimously.

be used partly to refinance temporary special assessment bonds now outstanding and,
in part, finance the 1977 Street Program. .
Mr. Ehlers recommended the City issue the bonds at this time because of the favorable
interest rates and the uncertainty of future interest rates. He stated they see very
little chance for a reduction of interest rates and considerable chance for increased
rates.
Mr. Brunsell, City Clerk, indicated the money replaced in the bond redemption funds
can be invested to cover, or possibly more than cover, the interest on the definitive
bonds.
Dtayor Nee questioned what the City was now earning on the reserves. Mr. Brunsell
replied from 4'2 to 7% with an average of 5% and he felt confident they could earn
more than 5%.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopt Resolution No. 35-1977 Providing for the
Issuance and Sale of $1,115,000 Special Assessment Fund Bonds. Seconded by Council-
woman Kukowski. Upon a roll call vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously.

the bids and the bids would be received at 7:00 p.m. with a report to the Council
at 7:30 p.m., with the Council reserving the right to reject bids.

C4NSIDERATION OF FIRST READIN6 OF AN OROINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 703 SNOWMOBILES,
SECTION 703.021, OPERATION AND DELETING SECTION 703.022:
Mayor Nee asked if anyone in the audience wished this ordinance read. There was no
response or comments from the audience.
This ordinance prohibits the use of snowmobiles on public lands and right-of-ways.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, indicated to the Council it would take time before all
citizens are aware of the ordinance and that operation of snowsnobiles on public lands
and right-of-ways would probably not ceaseimmediately.

PUBLIC HEARINGS:
PUBLIC HEARING ON FINAL PLAT SUBDIVISION P.S. #76-12, TARGET ADDITION; BY POP SHOPPES
OF AMERICA, INC., BEING A REPLAT OF PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED SOUTH OF I.694, IdEST
OF HWY. 65, NORT11 OF 53RD AVENUE AND EAST OF THE TAP,GET PARKING LOT:
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the Public Hearing notice and
open the Public Hearing. Seconded by Council Hamernik. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the Public Hearing
opened at 7:45 p.m.
Mr. Dick Sobiech, Public Works Director, explained the location of this proposed plat,
generally located South af I-694, West of Highway 65, North of 53rd Avenue N.E. and
East of the Target parking lot. The proposal is to divide the property into three
lots and the larger lot on the North side of the property was proposed for Pop Shoppes
of America. The plat does not have public right-of-way and access to the area would
be through private easement.
Mr. Sobiech stated the Planning Commission recorrmended approval with the understanding
there would be a completed access roadway system with concrete curbing designated in
the area. He further stated tagether with the access road the Target parking is
also to be completed with concrete curb, landscaping provided.
The petitioner has asked the concrete curbing be waived on the two lots not now
scheduled for development until development takes place. However, Mr. Sobiech
stated Staff suggests that the concrete curb be installed with the Pop Shoppe
development immediately and a bond be posted for completion of the balance of the
curbing and landscaping within a two year period.
Mr. Sobiech then reviewed the improvements proposed for Highway 65 and 53rd Avenue and
stated the Highway Department hopes to begin construction this year.
Mayor Nee stated he has received comnunications regarding this plat from the law
firm representing the Embers Restaurant and requested these be received.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to receive the communications from the Embers
law firm, Mason, Kaplan, Edelman, Borman, Brand, and McNulty dated March 8, 1977.
Seconded by Councilman Hamernik. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.

MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the Public Hearing on the Final Plat,

voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the Public Hearing
closed at 7:51 p.m. �
OLD BUSINESS:
RESOLUTION N0. 26-1977 - ORDERING IMPROVEMENT ANC FINAL PLAtJS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND
The City Manager, Mr. Qureshi, stated Councilman Schneider has been working with
residents in this area in attempting to solve some of the questions and problems
which arose as the result of the public hearing.
iMr. Qureshi stated an alternative is being submitted this evening for the Council's
� consideration. This proposal would eliminate the street improvements on Lakeside
, Road and would provide for a cul-de-sac on 73%z Avenue N.E. This would have the
affect of reducing the assessments on some of the lots.
Mr. Quneshi pointed out the cul-de-sac would be extended beyond the requirements
of the City Code, and a decision must be made by the City Council if they wish this
I allowed.
Councilman Schneider stated he has talked with property owners to the east of the
proposed cul-de-sac and they have verbally indicated they would be willing to sign an
agreement that they had no intention of splitting their lots and do not want 73%Z Avenue
N.E. extended up to their property. He felt even though the cul-de-sac would be
2xtended beyond the requirements of the Code, it would reduce the overall cost of the
proj ect.
Mr. Qureshi stated, if the Council wished to proceed on the extension of 732 Avenue
N.E., it would necessitate additionai construction of water lines.
! Ms. Nancy Johnson, 7360 Stinson Boulevard N.E., stated she agreed to the water lines
' yoing through their property, but there is a problem with the trees on the property.
, Mr. Qureshi advised the City would attempt to find a way to install the lines with a
minimum amount of damage.
' Mr, Qureshi stated, if 73Z Avenue N.E. is extended with the cul-de-sac, the right-of-way
� to the east of this would be vacated, as residents have indicated they would sign the
necessary documents eliminating the need of it.
The developer, Mr. Leier, indicated he would be in favor of the proposal submitted this
evening and understands it would be necessary to have the plat redrawn to conform.
I Ms. Eggert, 7351 Pinetree Lane N.E., felt the improvements were not benefiting their
property and they should not have to pay for someone else to develop property. She
stated thre would be no need for any of these imprnvements, if the property wasn't
� being developed. She indicated she did not object to the project, but felt the
developer should pay the costs.
IMayor Nee advised Ms. Eggert this issue should be raised at the assessment hearing as
, it could be the Council's responsibility at that time to make a judgement as to
whether or not the improvements benefited her property.
I

The City Attorney, Mr. Herrick, stated the assessment policy used by the City is
c�rtmon practice in the State of Minnesota and would advise Ms. Eggert to present her
facts and opinions at the time of the assessment hearing.
Councilman Hamernik questioned if the deviation on the cul-de-sac was made and did not
meet the requirements of the ordinance, if it would leave the City open for any
liability.
The City Attorney indicated that argument could atways be made, but it is probably
very remote.
Councilman Schneider stated he recognizes policies are important and should be followed,
but likewise feels there is a significantly greater benefit by reducing costs

to the residents. He also felt the exception regarding the cul-de-sac would not
affect the safety of the development. He pointed out, however, the storm sewer
assessments are unchanged with this proposal.
Councilman Schneider indicated he would move the adoption of the resolution for
Alternate #2 submitted this evening, which is the deletion of Lakeside Road.
� � MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopt Resolution No. 26-1977 using Alternate Assess-
�� ment Roll #2 (deleting Lakeside Road). Seconded by Councilwoman Kukowski. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
;
CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST - BERKELEY PUMP
� � Councilwoman Kukowski stated she has brought this matter back before the Council for
' their consideration, as she has met with the petitioner, and felt they had a proposal
which may be acceptable to the Council and would include the recorrmendation of the
; Planning Commission. She stated Berkeley Pump would be agreeable to fencing a portion
of Ashton Avenue N.E. that is across from their proposed building. This would offer
� ' protection for persons in the park, as they would not have access onto Ashton Avenue.
j She further stated she contacted Industrial Spray, located north of Berkeley Pump,
j and they would be interested in extending the fencing. She felt this proposal would
; eliminate the main traffic problem.
�
,
�
i
�
�
�
Councilman Fitzpatrick felt by qranting this variance, it would set a precedent.
He felt this area was meant for limited industrial, but to grant the variance would
enlarge the business and encourage a heavier industrial use which the area could not
sustain. He felt a hardship had not been demonstrated.
Mr. Snead of Berkeley Pump indicated he has also met with the City staff and the
purpose of the addition is to have an efficient and functional building for their
needs and they could not accomplish this, if the plans were changed.
Mr. Snead indicated they would be willing to provide the fencing as outlined by
Councilwoman Kukowski. He further stated they could use 40% of their lot, without
requesting a variance, but the shape of the building they would end up with would not
be practical for their operation.
The City Attorney, Mr. Herrick, requested the Council not take action on the variance
this evening, but to table until next week as he would like the opportunity to meet
with staff and obtain additional facts and information as to whether or not there is
a legal problem.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to table this variance request from Berkeley Pump to
the next meeting on March 21, 1977 for a recommendation from the City staff. Seconded
by Councila�oman Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the
motion carried unanimously.
NEW BUSINESS:
NSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING CHAPTER 505 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY
TITLFD "BICYCLE REGULATIONS" AND REPEALING THE PRESENT CHAPTER 505 ENTIT
ICYCLE REGISTRATION" IN ITS ENTIRETY:
Mayor Nee requested under Section 505.06 a statement be added to the effect that the
City make a reasonable effort to locate the owners of the licensed vehicles before
they are sold at public auction.
Councilman Schneider felt the impounding fees should be changed, especially the amount
charged for additional days of storage and perhaps there should be a limit on the
total amount.
Under Section 505.08, it was suggested clarification of bikeway/walkway paths, and
possibly the work "routes" should be used. Necessary ehanges in these particular
sections will be made and contained in the ordinance when presented for second reading.
' MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to waive the reading and approve the ordinance upon '
� ', first reading. Seconded by Councilman Hamernik. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, �

rir. Clark e�cplained that there ;,�ere t:ro car washes on this property; one was
autoMatic and one was self-service. He said the two buildings �rere buili at
diiferent tir�es, and one •rras leased and one was owned. He stated they had
separate se�er, water, etc. t�7r. Clark stated that no1,r thef •�:ould like to
split the parcel so ihere cauld be two separate oi,mers, tti•ro separate nortbages,
etc., but the buildings t•rould look the sa�e as they do noi•r. He explained
that 11r. Coddon also needed a vaxiance because he would only be .5� from
the lot line instead of the required 15'.
NIr. Coddon stated that even though the variance was necessary, the buildings
came together at a corner and z•rere not side by side, so there would be no
change except tne lega3 change. i�e said t.�at the buildings kere 10' apart.
I�1r. Clark said the reason he asked about the scheduling af this z,ras because
the Board of Appeals would be looking at the request on April 12� and those
mirnstes would co.�e before the Plannino Co:�mission on A�ril 20, and both sets
of minutes would go to Council on �?ay 2. r�rs. Sc�nabel asked what kind of
variance thef ��ou1d ask for if this �rasn't handled here tonight and there
was no lot split approved. N1r. Clark said he felt the Board of Appea1s
could ma�ce a more unbiased decision if they �rne:� the lot split hadn't already
been approved. 1�ss. Schnabel again wondered �rhat type of variance they
could ask for since there saas no variance from a lot line unless there was a�
lot split. :ir. Cla,z�k said they ti•rould a p pe a l f o r a h,ypo t he tica l variance,
and the Board or A�peals could pass a recom-nendation that the variance be
approved continoent on the lot split being approved. He state� the end
resu2t would be the sa�e, since one iras contin�ent on the other.
�Irs. Schnabel said she thouoht it :•ras six to one and a half dozen o�' the
other, and as Ion� as the petitioner was present she didn�t see any real
problem in hearinb this. j-;r. I,angenfeld co�.�ented that it seem�d to him
that all they :�ere going to do was split this into t•rro parcels for tax
purposes and everything else tiaould remain the sar►e. �
Chairperson :iarris said he rememqered when this came before the Planning
Commission i.n 1970, and was rezoned fro:� Cl to C2. He said there t�ras so:�e
conce:n at that ti;�e about the distance betti�:een the tt•ro buildinffs because
they liked to r►aintain 15� betV�een structures for safety reasons, but it
had been approved at that time based on the t•ray the buildings i�;ere now.
2ir. Peterson said it seemed to hiri that the circumstances when the petition
:aas nresented in 1970 :•�hen there t•ras one oc�ner and one parcel �ha�e a lot
different iro:� no;� V;hen there would be t:,;o purcels and tiro oz,mers. He
said it seemed to follow that next week, or whenever this had been c�nsuriated,
they might hare a.11 kinds of requests coming in for changes in use of the
buildings, and so on. He stated he thought tliey �rould be opening up a
Pandora's 3,�x.
rjr• �°rgr�an asked :ahat the hards�ip z•�ould be if this lot split tras not �
� g'-"antea. ?:r. �oddon explain�d that there tiaere tt•ro o�mers at the ve

the land, and financing was real.ly a probleri. He stated there �.ras a definite
hardship because the financing couldn't be restructured without the lot split.
He added he was not asking for any change and there caasn't any contemplated
change in what was going to be there in any way, shape or form. P-Ir. Bergman
asked if he was correct in s�ing tir. Coddon had a situation in which a
building o�mer also wished to o�.m the land on �rhich his buildi.ng resicied.
Pir. Codcion replied that t•�as a potential he was seeking to achieve, but there
was also a tax situation and a financing situation he �;ould like to resolve.
He said he would also like to have the sarae oVmer for the building and the
land, but his first need was to be able to close the transaction.
2•'Ir. Peterson asked if T�s. Coc�don would clarify what his position in this
might be, and t;r. Coddon ea^�lai.ned that in 1970 he bought the parcel on
a land contract as an individual. He said he arranged for the construction
of the buildings, the tVro separate oc�lners and the tenants, then so13 the
developed package to an investment corporation. Now, he continued� that
corporation was splitting up their partnership and wanted to split up the
property and sell it. I-1r. Coddon said 'n� T�ras both the contract purchaser
and the equity purchaser, and would like to get a separate mortgage on the
property. He stated he was the owner right no:a, but in a mixed-up fashion.
He said that Standard Oil was a leasee on a yea�r to year basis� and the
� self-service car wasn had Aaid off their building and had another fifteen
years as a land lease tenant on the Idorthern part. He said it �as his feeling
that they would very rtuch like to have the parcel, but they already o:med
the building. He added that a lot s�lit irould solve evemrthing 2nd not harr�
anyone in any way.
�
r;r. Peterson said that Vras true tznless the people who had the self-service
cax iaasl�. decided in tc,ro montns to do so: �ethin ; different and carie in for
variances. He said 'ne nad been on the Planning Co��ission t:•ro or three
years and had seen a]_1 kinds of probiems arise as a result of things like
this. 1�1r. Coddon said that if the lot i�ras split, the rema..a.nin; t:,ro portions
were legal lots under the zoning cod�, and anj�thing anybody did propose
taould be judged on its oYm merits. He said he didn't see :•rhere it would be
a proble:� if tney used th�ir land for legal purposes and zon�d purposes.
AIr. Pe�erson pointed out t:at par� of the Iot split entailed a ti*axiance,
and that t•�as not .rithin the code.
1irs. Shea wondered if one oi the stipulations c•rhen this wznt through Appeals
could be tnat the use woul3 be limited, but Cha.irperson :i2sris said he didn't
thi.n;t they could ma�:e it stick. ��r. Clar�: said they might be ablz to limit
the enlargements of either structure by stipulatin� that an�r additions mU.st
meet all setbacks.
T1r. L2n�enfeld com-nented t�at he had the feeling theST i�:ere making this worse
,� than it �ras. He felt i� iaould perha�s be taise to r�ake a motion .•rith �ne
stipalation that this prop�rty be split in t*.�ro parcels for �ax purposes only.
Chairperson i-iarris said he didn't think they could do that. He explained
the assessm�nts were split, the taxes were sp.lit, and there :•rould be t.�ro
I, separate o�mers on tt•ro sepa.rate percels. I-ie asked hot•r big the parcel t,�as
in tota]., and i•�r. Clark replied about l�3,000 reet. i�Ir. Clzrk added that it

had more than 200' of frontage, so it did meet that zoning requirement.
Chairperson Harris said.they had a City policy on odd-shap�d lots, and that
was that the frontaoe Vras t�cen at the building line (for example, on
cul-de-sacs). He wondered ;�rhat iaould happen with this frontage if it was
taken on that criteria. He noted the property ,aas zoned C-2S.
P-ir. Peterson comnented that in 1970 a Special Use Permit also had to be
, granted because of the nature of the buildings, and Chairperson Harris said
that was correct. Ars. Schnabel asked if that was a way in which to tie
the two businesses to these two particular lots if .the lot split was approved.
� Chairpers�n Harris said he ��ras not certain that it was the intent of the
Council or.the Planning Comr�.ission that the Special Use Per;nit could be
split automatically. He said the Special Use Perriit was granted to the
� property as a single entity, and no�r the�r were talking about two different
entities; it seemed to hi,-n they Vrould have �o go back through the Special
Use Permit process.
� 2�'ir. Clark said that a Special Use Permit Urould probably not be denied since
the buildings rrere al.ready there and it had been approved before. He added
thai if tney �rere going to approve the lot split and approve the variance
' and then make them go back through the �rhole process of a Special Use Permit�
it certainly would not be denied� Chairperson Haxris ilondered hoc•r they could
split a Special LTse Perrlit, and said he had never.heard or that being split
' taith a lot split. i-;r. Clark said he didn't �rno��:, either. Technically� he
said� I�Ir. Haxr�s •�ras probably xibht, but ii everything else was approved
he didn't think a Saecial. Use Permit could be denied.
P•x. re�terson said it seemed to him that if somebody was applying �or a
S�ecial Use �e�it in 1977 on that, there i�ould be a lot of questions asked
before that Special Use Perr��it was granted, thinking ahead that it might be
split. Cnair�erson Harris said t:�at the situation that the gentle*�an was
eluding to (t�here t�ere was one buildi.ng on a paxcel and a lease held on
another section of the sarie paxcel with a building on it) i:as not an unusual
situation. •
P��r. Bergman s�ated '�e Vro��ld like to regroup where they were at. He said
they *�rere talk=ng about a lot split �rith a.fee of $30, a variance procedure
t•rith a fee of aSC, and possibly t:�o Special Use Perriits (one for each parcel)
a-t �120 each, ��us a fair amount of r-ir. Coddon's time. '_�ie said he was jus�
won3ering ir 2Ir. Cocdon still thougnt it tti*as worth it. i-.r. Coddon replied
it �ras �rell �rorth it, and he rrould do anyt,hing they wanted. He said his
appeal was there TAT�S no change planned, and he tranted a lot split for what
zc�s already there. �ie added that he didn't see that what nigh-t happen in
the future z•ras a valid question in this matter.
P�Ir. Peterson said tnat under C-2S zoning, i��hich ti•�as on the property notr,
t?�ere i•rere al? kinds of options in terr►s of what could be �'one with that �
buildin� for taanufacturin�, etc. i�ir. C1ark said it taould have to be a
corn;nercial use. ':r. Peterson asked if they would b2 able to chan�e the
building :�:it:zout coMing in and mal:ing requests. He said they could b� faced

with a lot of alternatives and have no control as far as the City tras con-
cerned. P•4r. Cla.rk said that if they did any construction at all, they would
have to come in for a building permit. He said that parkin� requirenents,
setbacks, ana so forth were looked at b�fore a building permit �r�as issue3.
21ir. Peterson stated that once they had the z�ning and t•rere using the building
in canforr�ance with the zoning at that particular time, then the City would
be hard pressed to not issue a building permit or grant a variance.
2•Irs. Schnabel stated that under one owner, one of the two b�.zildings could
� still be converted if he so chose. She pointed out they could still have
the same problem whether there was a lot split or not. She trondered if they
were making a big "to do" about sornething that might nevPr come up again,
' and asked ha�Jr many other instances there were similar to this in Fridley.
1ir. Clark said there i•rere a lot of situations like t:iis V�here someone oi�med
the land and someone else o:med the building. Alrs. Schnabel said sne was
� talking about the tc�ro buildings being so close together, �•:hich seemed to
be the real proble.m. �ir. Clark said that the City didn't necessarily knoT�r
about them unless someone came in, like noTfr.
rir. Coddon said that as :1rs. Schnaoel had mentioned, these prablems would
be the same ��hether it �ras splii or not. i��r. �'eterson stated that coulcin't
happzn at the present time, hoVrever, �a�cause of the financing involved. He
said that right no�; the owner couldn't do it because hz didn't have a clear
#. �tle. TSr. Coddon pointed out that J;as the sane situation as t�hen it :>>as
'��:i.lt, so it could happen. ;�e sa�d that the car �.�rash to the North night
;��::�t to add on. :�!rs. Schnabel co:-ur.ented t•hat if the o�mer had p_ivate
f{nancin;, he coul� do i�. Cha?rperson �iarris added that the lot sizes
did m�et the code, depending on ho�: Much frontage could be considerea as
legal frontaoe.
Mr. Bergman sa�d it looked to hiri like h�hat tney �rel: e addressing here was,
on one hand, a request for �inancial benefit oi a property o:•,-ner; and on tne
other hand, a variance from the ordinance. He stated he hz� li�te:�ed back
to history which involved at one point a rezonin; and a Special Use Permit,
and at this point a lot split of an existino C-2S propert�*�•rhicn in terms of
frontage and/or a.rea Fras ti•*ithin the zoning ordiance. He sa� d this put them
back to the variance pro�lem wit�, reoard to the setbac'�cs. �Ie stated .ze
didn't see anythino about what was being requested that iti�as of nat�rial
value other than the forthco�nin� var�ar.ce request to reduce froM 15' to 5'
on the setbacks of each parcel in order to nahe this hapren. He said that
to hzM, the consideration got back to the variance request being they key
item, and if tney stiiould a�ree to a lo� split whicii would au�or�atically
involve two variances. ;�irs. Schnab�l added that the t�,�o Special Use Permit
requests �,rere also key items.
Chairperson Harris said that it seer►ed to him there ti�rere sorae stipulations
either with the rezoning or the S���cial L'se PerMZt or, this particu�ar parcel
t,rhen it had �one throug.i before, and as'.�ced r;r. Cla: k if iie could bet the
files on this.
Nlrs. Schnabel asked if Chairperson Harris could recall a similar situation
I, where a petitioner �rrent in a corunercial axea and built tt•:� separate b�aildings
�
� Planning Commission P•9eeting — rsarcn 23, 1977 Page 8 2 �
on one piece of property. I�Ir. Harris said that as he remembered, this was a
uniqu�e situation, and he couldn't remember it happening bzfore or since
then. He said there �,rere situations where more than one building fras built
on th�� same parcel, but none wit:i the buildings this close. r1r. Peterson
commented that it seeMed to him tnat any tirie they had a unique situation
it ke��t coming back and coming back before the Planning Cor�.^►ission, causing
more things to be out of the ordinary when it came back the next time� and
that i,�as his initial concern.
3�ir. B�:rgman said that apparently 2�Ir. Coddon had been involved in the property
from the �rord "go". P•ir. Coddon stated that he bought the property as an
indiv:Ldua1, and a gentleM2n who �•ras developino car t�ras!�es came to him as
a property oti•mer and put the package together. i�1r. Bergman asked if he
recal.7_ed why the property wasn't split at the tirie the two businesses were
constructed. 2•�r. Coddon replied the main reason t•ras becanse Commerce Park
Invest;ments wouldn't take payment on the property until I972 for tax pur�oses.
He said it F�as bought on a contract for deed, so the financing ior the
buildinos had to be arranged independently of that contract. He added they
couldr�'t be paid for at the time, let alone split.
rir. Cl.ark returned with the requested infor��ation. He read froM the building
pernit: itseif, t�rhich stated that the Special Use Permit iras only good for
the operation o� one self-service car wash and one automatic car t�rash, along
t,rith s.ervice pumps. P+o other business would be operated without the explicit
approval of the City Council. �oth car washes are on one permit and on one
paxcel of land, and any �im�e the o:•mership changes on either of the ear
washes a lot split :�-ill have to be approve�iby the City Council.
Chairperson Hax;is said that somebody violated the condition of the Special �
Use Permit, ar;d asl;ed if there vreren't two se�arate �arties on the car �ash
and the self-service. ?�Sr. Coddon e�plained that the self-service car wash
tenant �ras ihe original tenant, �nd the autonatic car wash land o::�ners
leased to Da..-naron Corporation i,rhich f,ent through Federal bankruptcy. He said
tnere w�s also an equip:�ent squabble involving the party that was a 1,easee
of Sta�dard Oil and the cax wash. 1•1r. Coddon said that all this nad nothir_g
to do with the land which he purchased, then sold his interest out, and then
purcha,sed back. Chairperson Harris as'.�ced who ot•med the Sout:r. one, and P;r.
Coddon replied that �e o.�ed the land and the building (the autonatic car
�rash). P-Ir. Coddon said that the self-s�rvice z�ras the tenan� in the lease,
and the ter,ns of the lease said the building would be built for hi� 2.nd he
��ould ;�ay a rental of $°�0 a month until 60 payments had been made, in which
case the buildi.nb �rould �eco�e his and the rent �rould be reduce3.
Chairpe:rson ?iasris said that t•ras the violatior_--that was not part of the
deal t•rYien this started out. He said there had never been any mention �ad2
at the time tr.e requests :•rere nade for the rezoning or the S�ecial Use PermiL
that this ::as going to be a buy-back o�eration. r'r. Coddon explazned ;�hat
the le�ise had said, anci stated that if there ti•ras an error he had not been .
auare c�F it.

P4r. Peterson requested tir. Clark to again read the stipulations on the Building
Permit., t�rhich ,-lr. Clark did. tr. Coddon then as'.�ced if that meant there snould
have bpen a lot split, and C�air��erson Harris replie� that the Zot split
shouZd. have been done previous to this time.
hir. Peterson stated that he suspected that if the Plannino Cor�.m.i.ssion and
City Council had knotfrn of the buy-back arrangement on the leasp and the fact
that there were two ovmers involved, they might have looked at it a little
more carefully before granting the Special Use Perriit. He said that in effect,
the ordinances were violated right from the beginning without going through
the process of a hearing; rioht froM the beginning there was a lease for a
buy-back that the City never knec•r of. He said he sus�ected that the lease
was entered into before the ouildings �rere ever constructe3.
ttir. Bergman as�ced if there zvere two buildings, and rlr. Coddon replied yes.
� 1rir. Be:rgman asked if they :�ere ovmed by �he s�-�e party, and ?Ir. Co�don
answered they �aere not, but he t•:ould like to get tnis corrected iritn a lot
_ split.
�
�
,�
P7r. La�lgenfeld said that he taas led to believe that an actual "buy-back"
didn't exist. He thought the axra.noem�nt V,as such tnat due to the nature
of the business (:,rith fixed equip;nen� attac.�ed to the bailding) t:�e building
and th:�s equinment could not be moved. So in this lease agre�r,ent, he
contimied, $850 ti,ras to be paid for the equig;:�ent as well as tne building
for si;tty months, znd then a mucn reduced rental ;rould be allo�;ed. He said
that tc� him, that �ras not a huy--back yet. Chairperson Harris said that
he was rentino land space right no�ti�, but for all int�nts and pu:poses he
o�med i;he building. -
141s�. Bes•gman asked ii the o�ti7:srship o� the buildings or the Iand under the
buildings had cha,�ged. rs. Coddon said that in actuality nothing had
chatioed, but the lease stated that after the si�cty pay:.ients the building
and the equip:�ent bec�-�e t��e p: oper ty oi the tenant but he could not move
it.ofi the property. r•;essrs Harri�, Peterson and Ber�an aoreed triat then
it had changPd. P�7r. Coddon stated he was just here ta correct the siivation
that existed.
I'4r. Clark read from the ;ninutes of the City Council meeting concerning this
' parcel, t�rhich said the o�•r:1er of the land Vroul� rer�ain �he sa^�e. He said
that ap�parently tne land :ras goinb to be ot•med by one person and the leases
Vrould be of the type ti�here t'�ey didn't oi:�n the building. rir. Peterson said
' that the intent of -the lease ti�ras that the tenant ?•:ould orm the buiidi:�o in
fact, but that iaasn't told Lo t�e Council or the Planning Coririission. 2irs.
Schnabel said peraaps tahat �tr. Coddon �•ras sayino ti•�as . at the tir�e he ;:iade the
statenent before the Coiuzcil he did not o�m that building at that tiMe, but
� faileci to perha�s say that he would o::m it in the future. i�s. Coddon said
that it hadn't see:ned to him to have any bearinb on the requests. .
��
��
Chairperson Harris said he recalled he vo�ted in favor of the Special Use
Permit and the rezonin�, bu� the Corunission at t�iat tirie had sor�e serious
dou'�ts about the spaci.n� b�t:�reen the tt•ro buildings. He said' he felt that
since t;zef wer��n't talkin� aoout l.ot split at the time and since it .*as under
-- � _���
' 2I
Planni.n� Com�ission I•ieetin�; - P�iarch 23, 197? Page IO
�
one o�„nership, he had voted in favor of the recommendations on the Special Use
Permit, and �he rezoning. He said that if he had l�ot•m at thai time about
the t��ro owners, his vote may have been different.
2�Ir. Bergman said he rrould like to clarify ttti�o points : l. 1rJhile the state-
� ment can truthfully be Made that both buildings are today under one o•�rner-
ship a.s originally, a legal document has been established set#,ing in motion
a chanoe of otmership on one of the buildings. 2. He �ras imnressed i•rith
� the t,�ordage fror� the minutes urhich indicated that this whole discussion
took place at that time witn some apparent acceptance that there could in
fact be a future lot split, and they recognized that in that event there
� would be lack of setback. Chairperson Harris said he dicin't recall it
that Taay, but perna�s I�ir. Bergrian was correct. P�ir. Bergma.n said he thought
there was an implication in *.shat Pfr. Clark had read from the minutes that
the attitude :ras positive to:�rard a lot split if the o�:�nership did change.
� Mr. Harris said that was one of the stipulations--the lot split would be
applied for before the buildings changed oVmerships.
�
��
'
�
�
�
rir. Peterson sai3 the implication he read �ras that the Plannino Co:�.�i.ssion
and City Council were very concerned in 1970, but reluctantly granted th�
Special Use Pe�it and building permits based on the fact that tnere was
one o�yner a.nd would continue to sta� one oti�mer, and t?-�ey were really setting
up safe�u�rds to keep it as one o:ane:. He sa�d that in effect, at tne time
that t:�ese :•rere applied for an arrangement had alxeady been entered into,
as he suspected that the lease t.as si�ned before the building per;►its
were issued. 2ir. Peterson said he felt tne i.�plicaticn taas that t:�is �ras
exactl;y t•rhat they dir'xi't want to hap�en (the lo� split and c�an�e of
o:ti�ners:hip), at least not t�ri �hout it oein� revie�,red. r�.r. Berg�:an said that
in his opinion, that implied that tne City had some control over a private
part;� �selling his private pro�erty (saying he must come in for a lo� sp].it,
and if he didn'i, get it, he couldn't sell the property). He said t'�at seemed
a bit awkward.
Tir. Cl,r.rk su;gested that if t:�e Planning CorL�ission and Council ha3
assume,� that � lot split c•rould '�ave been approved, they may have asked that
the bu:ildings be pushed apart iurther. Chairperson Harris said he agreed,
and he though � the oall gam� ;•rould i:ave been different. He added i�at he
dicin't remember .rh�r the buildings i�rere so close together, but it seemed to
him thef wanted more distance in there to begin i�.ith.
ilrs. Srhnab�l pointed out that they had now been discussino this one ite:�
� for mo:re tna� an hour, and suggested that tnis request be tsbled so all
those i�inutes t'�at had been referred to could be revie��red since there seened
to be a great deal of confusion as t� what discussions took place. Sne�

At this poin�, she said, it �rou].d be up t� the Plannin� Co.^�ission to decide
if ihe;� �r�ant to revie:r thi� and pass a recommenda�ion to Council on their
ocan., or don't want to revie�r it.
Chairpersc�n :iarris said that as he read tnis, the two najor hang ups seemed
� to be the access on East River °oad and the problem with the intersection
itself. :ie asked if it ::•as r-Irs. Sc!ulabel's ::ish that the Planning Co:n*�ission
taks under study the intersection of 79th and East River Road, and she
� replied she felt that T�ras a viable concern of the Planning Co.��-nission.
rirs. Schnabel said that particular intersection of ?9th and East River Road
should be looke� at �•�ith the idea o� trying to come to sor�e reconlnendation
eonc:erning that interseetion. It c•�as stated by members of the Appeals
� Comr,lission, she said, that that intersection happens to be a particularly
dan�;erous one. She said that one member was �rell ahare oi several very
seri.ous accidents that had occuz�ed there. ?�1rs. Schnabel sta�sd tnat one
� member of the public had appeared a� this �eeting, and he had also expressed
his cancern for that paxticular intersection.
rirs. Schnabe7. said that when they revie:�red the correspandence that had
occurred between the City and �'inoka County on that intersection, it appeared
that the last time t�:ere V;as any correspondence t•ras June of 1975• She
thou;;ht the count�r's focus had been turther South on East Rive: Road, and
t:�ey had not pa�rticularly dealt ;;ith that ir.tersection. She said it �,ras
her .feeling that they shouid pernaps have some kind of study organized
of that whole i�lorther? y section of East River Road io deterr�ine �rhere
th� serious crossings occurred. Sne said t�at nerhaps 79th =rras not as
dangE�rous as some ot?�er intersection, and there may be soMe other inter-
sections that �rere as seri��us or �;�ore serious . Someho:r or other f she said�
they sho�ald address that probleme
l�irs. Shea wondersd i� the East c'�iver Road Project Cor�ittee had looked at
so�e of those a�reas, and ,��r. Langenfeld said tney ha� not gor.e that far
I�'orih. P�ir. La.ngenleld said he had read the ninutes 2nd sat�r �here sa�rety
seeMed to be the bibgest factar �,s ;�:ell as the left-han� a-�d right-:nand
turns and access to 7-11. :ie said that he felt this T�rould be a good thing
for the Eas� River Road Project Co:7.�!ittee to extend their studies to, but
he felt it did need some s��;dy whet:,�r it was that particular project group
or not.
i"ir• Bergman asked if this was co�terciall zoned
Sc31� :L� ��ras zoned C-2S, a.nd the ti•ro ao�stti b propertiest3rere R-3 � 2r�B�rgman
said h� had a gene�al question, and ask ed why i t z,ras t ha t a speculaiive

Chairperson ;-i�rris said this ti�as another unique situation. �e explained ,
that �he t:hole �arcel fro:n 79th to 77th at one time ;:as zoned G2 or G1
(the t•;no.le front hali), and the back h�1f to:,�ard the tracks t,ras zoned �I-1.

He sa.id that the City had actua.11y crea�ed a situation where only !�ro of
the land was buildable.
� Chairperson �iarris as!ced ho� this request differed from 2�eridian's request
in 1975, and I�ir. Ernst replied that th�ir buildin� t��as 8� dee�er and 10'
, longer. He explained that i,eridian oroposed a!t0' bu�lding, and they cyere
proposing a It8' building. He said they �r:ere asking for a setback of 35'
�� � along 79th where the ordinance called for 80', but they �rould aoree to
, down zone to C-1, ti•rhich would r�ean a side yard of 35' would be allowed.
� ,'•1rs. ;5chnabel said that the only difference in variance requests from 19'75
to 1977 S�Tas t?�e first request (the request to reduce from 80' to 35' ),
and in 1975 it tras a larger figure than 35'. She said that as 2•Ir, r'�nst
� had pointed out, if this was rezoned to C-1 (�•Jhich :•ras one of the stipula-
tions the Council had attached in 1975) then it would r�eet code �,�ith a
35' s�.tback.

P�r. Bf:rgman asked about the variances th?t were requested in ? 975, and
Mrs. Schnabel said that they had been requested`:by t'.ne i•Ieridian Co:poration
to bu�_ld not quite as large a buildin� as I�Ir. Ernst t•ras notir pro�osing.
She e�cplained that request z•ras appro�red by the Appe�? s Co.mrnission ;:ith a
nunbea• of stipulations, and it had a? so gone throuoh the �uilding Standa_rcis-
Design Control Subco�:�itt�e and they �:ad made so�e recomraenda�ions. I�irs.
Schnabel stated it then �tient to the Ci�r Cou.nci? and they aen�ed 4�pro�Ta1.
Ho.aever, she s2�id, after they denied a�p� oval ?ieridian Ccrpora�ion ca.^�e
back t•:rith additiional ;�roposals and at �hat ti:�e the City Co���cil said that
ii thi.s was rezoned to G1 and net a?= �he stipulations, it ��,ould b� approved.
She st,ated that happened in August of 1975, but then i�:eridian i:as uriable
to get financino so notning hap;�ened until this tine ,•:hen P•s. E�nst had
not•; picked up this concent. In the nean�irie� she explained, 7-11 had changed
their requirements in terms of size `'or the store and Frere proposing a
larger buildina.
Airs. Shea said it appeared to her that the Appeals Co:�.,�i.ssion's main concern
was safety alonb East River Road, ar_d s:e thought that iras w:�ere they should
be looking. Chairp�rson :�arris saiu thz pro�lem t�ras that the saietJ along
East River Road ti�ras t.ze City's and County's responsibility and not the
petitioner's responsibilit�r. He trusted the City and Coimty ;•;ould solve tha�,
hopefully t•�ith the cooperation o.� tn� �roperty o:.�ner. :�ir. Clark stated that
the ow.ner had agreed to the turn lane and cu�ting the sharo corner o��. I�Ir.
Harris said the proble:� t•,as the egress onto East Riv�r Roud, and 'ne did think
it was i�rithin the cit��-'s prerogat�ve ;,o li�►it access to a r�ajor arterial
highwa;y. Hot�ever, ?�e said, he dicin't �z�nk they could deny access to the
property off of a.nother street if tnat �.as available.

2•Ir. Langenf.eld stated that he recalle� from t:�e minutes of the Appeals
Cornr�ission menting that the property had no value unless it had a proper
access in order to conduct business. Chairperson 'riarris s aid there were
many �businesses in operaticn today that did not have direct access, and
cited exanples along University Avenue. P4rs. Schnabel said that if there
was a frontage road alon� East River Poad it �rould solve Many problens,
but t7iere c•rasn't. 2�ir. Langenfeld asked if this �ras spot zonino, and �ir.
Harri:s replied it rras spot zoning from a planning standpoint.
hs. BE�rgman stated he was trying to see what options were available� and
�hougr;t one �:o�ald be to grant the variances, and that all those variances
�DOSSl��ly were r�ecessary in order io maice some proiitable use oi the land
for coTM�nercial purposes. he said an alternative solution Vras that maybe
that property s��ould not be a C-2 zer.e, and possibly should have beea
rezoned to R-3 :•rith t�e rest. Chairperson ?i�rris pointed out that o�tion
would be with the land o�mer, and he had decided to try this. I••ss. Sc'.�uzabel
in�ormed them �:zat P�Ir. Ernst just had an option on the �roperty.
� Chairperson Ha.rris said he did not see hoti�r the Council could deny this
gentleinan's request if the request was substantially the sarie as �•:eridia.�'s
reques-� in 1975, and the conditions : eally hadn't changed. He said that
Counci=L couldr.' i, say that because P'r. Ernst ;-ranted to build it that the
� sar:�e canditions did not apply today as they did in 1975. i�Ir. �ergmari s �at�d
ihat h�: thought s��meone could ma�ce a point that conditions have cnanged.

Chairperson Harris stated ttiat the sazety condition af East River Road t•ras
not the land o:,-n�r's proble:�; it T,�as the Cit;� and County's orobler�. r�ir.
Bergman argued �hat the se�'aack ordinances t•Tere based on public health�
sa.fety and welfa:a and consi�ered that. �s. Harris said those had not
changed since 197� when the Council �ave approval to essentially the sam�
progr� thzy t�rere looking at no4��. ;•ir. Berg;nan thought that sonaone could
logical:Ly saf tha� they i•�ere ^�ore concerned at this tir�e i•aith enforcing
the sett�ack from East River �oad t'�an they ti.Tere in previous years. ;xs.
Schnabe� com;�entad that she didn't think that was truee
,'•:r. Clar•'.�c stated that ii it ��as a 7-1� store and some other co�.�►ercial activity
that t•re;,� � into t:�is buildin ;, �he peonle presently living on that side of
East ?�iver �oad {s:hic!� inc"lude� the 29�, tenan�s in the apartment complex}
trould not have to get into their cars a,�d create rnore traf?ic to �o their
grocery shoppin6. He said it was possible that ii might help, if it �ras done
pro��rly.
i-irs. Sc`znabel sa�d ihe A�pea�s Com:��ission had discussed the fact that putting
a 7--11 store the�� pro5abiy �:ouldn't �enerate any additional traific on
East R�ver Road itself. Ho:;ever� she said, if there c�ras another tenant in
the builc:ing r;:�i;,� ;:as an attrsctive and unique ienant, that might generate
more tra;.'fic co::�ng to that particulax location. She thou�ht some of the
Plann ing Conmission 2�feetin� - P�2arch 23, 1977 Pa�e 15
Appeals Cor��ission r�enbers vrere concerned about the a�oun � of traffic that
might cross East River �oad to go to that store, and that t�ras a viable
concern. She said that the biggest probler� concerned those people travellin;
South on East River Road .�rho r�ight atte�pt to ma;:e a left-hand turn to go •
to the store; the rnain proble*� �•rould be if they missed 79th and continued
on dot,m and tried to mal;e it into that additional access to try �o get int�
that s�hopping center. Sa, she said, she agreed tna� the store probably
wouldn.'t generate any additional traffic, but it might create proble:�s in
terms of �,ccess.
Air. Langenfeld asked if this would reach the point of PubZic :-iearing� and
i�:rs. Schnabel said there had been a t ublic Hearing at the Appeals Co:nriission.
I1r. Langerifeld com�ented that he t�ras surprised so fet�r peo;�le «ere t^.ere.
He stated he tended to lean totn��rds the sti�ulations r!ade by tne City Council
on page l�1, to start this thing moving. I�Srs. Schnapel said �hat some of
those :items were incorporated into the notion r�ade on page 49, and the
developer had already incorporated some himself.
2•vr. Langenfeld said that there Vr�,s no question about the safetf eIe*cent �ere,
but felt the property o:mer ;•ras really placed in a bad situation. Also�
he added, with a speculative building thz oi�-ner mignt find in 3- 5 ye2rs
that business wasn't as prosperous as he thought it would be and might place
it up for sale again. i��rs. Schnabel said �hat ��as one of the ecncerns af
one of the members of the hpneals Cor��lission, also. S�e stated it .•ras her
feeling that that Tr�asn't for theM to �udge at the` Ap�eals Cor�ission Ieti�el.
She said she also felt strongly that �he traific situation on East R�ver
Road Vras a leoi �imate concern af the Ci+,S Cou.ncil, but did not feel it �,:as
a concern of the Ap.^,eals Co:n.�ission hecause �ile;� had no po:aer to con�rol
traffic situations.
UPOPd A VOICE VOT�', all voting aye, the motion carried u.nanimously.
i•IOTION by Schnabel, seconded by Lar:genfeld, that a study be conducted by
tne appropriate cor���ission or subco:��ission on the traffic c�roblems that
occur o:� East River Road fror� the 2xea of Osborne Road North to the City
limits, with regard to safety factors to deternine those intersections �•r�ich
are of particula.r concern so that reco:n.^:endations could b° Ii13C12 to the City
Council and passed on to.the co�anty in hopes of ge�tting so�e �;�e o� better
tr2ffic control on East River Road.
21r. Laxzgenfeld asked if this motion zaas beino considered separate fro*�
the 7--11 item, and :•ss. Schna'�el replied it �ras. She said her concern iras
that nothing that she had seen had b°en do:�e :,�it:� repayrd to the City and
County in terms of dialooie on this par�icular intersection since J�e of
1975, and siie thou�,ht thaz if this ;�.as going to be eitner anprove3 or dis-
approved, that intersection should be looked at. Ce:tain�y i� s�ould be
studied, she said, if this proposal :•ras �oin ; to be aa�rotired by t!�� City
Council. She stated that her concern ti�ras :ahether that ��ras the TM�ost dangerous
intersection in that area; ma;�•b� t'nere :•ras another one that ttias equally as
dan�erous or more d�n�erous. She saiu it t:as her understµnding that the
County at this point had no plans to snend any mor� ;�oney in 1977 an �a.st

ZSr. Langenfeld said that the decision of this project committee �aould not
have a bearing on this particular 7-11 item because of the tin:e ele.�,ent.
He stated that he could not say at �his tir�e whether the F.as� �iver Road
Project Co�nmitt�e had gone furt:�er Plorth or not, but he would tare it on
himself to sub?�.it this request to the East River Road Project Co:7mittez
to see what their feelings Saere. He adaed that perhaps tney r��ight be willing
to extend t�eir studies Tlorth.
Chairperson Harris stated that he thought it t•�as only fair to ask Co:�-nunity
Developi;ient ii t'�ey ilould like to g�t a look at this. i�•ir. Berg*��an coru�ented
that was a leadin� question. He said tnat without tryin� to be in any *.ray
antagonistic or dero�atory, he �rould like to com:�ent on it before anshering.
He stated that in his opinion he felt, for one thing, that the ?ast �ivsr
�oad Project Co:-L�nittee was '_�cind of a s�ecial-interest group. re stated
that he said this seriously, and it ti•;as his opinion. He didn'� think that
committee, for t,�natever reason, fairly represented an objective �ity of
Fridley populous with reoard to studies of any street, and in pa:ticular
one that ran b;� their homes. He stated :�e felt they had a bias, and he
he felt there �ras a 1ot of self-interest there.
i:r. Lanbenfeld su�gested that the �viro.�enta]. Study Group Ioo� into

be. C:�airperson Harris sug�ested both Com.�nunity Develoi!nen � a�d F�vi: onr�,ental
study this so t�e Planning Commission could get tWO opinions. :"r. Ber�.ian
replied that he would have to say that he thought Cornrnunity DeJeiop�?nt
should get involved in general traffic pattern and thz access progr�.-�,
and he would have to say ."yes" to Co„ununity Developrtent stud;�ino this.
1•:r. Peterson asked if he was to assu:�e that if he voted for t:ze �►otion,
� the Chair �aould th�n use his prerogative and direct this to botn of the
comrzi.ssions that had been involved in the discussion. Cha�rnerson :iarris
replied tnat �yas correct. ��r. Clark asked i�' �he Planning Com�,ission wished
I the Council to delay action on this requ�st until the two co.�.�i�sions had
time to study tnis, and Chairperson Harris said no, he �hought tzat should
be separate. .

?ir. Peterson suggested that because th�re z•rere other guests who had sat
� and waited, pernaps t�ey snould delay the action on this item and discuss
items 2B and 2C and then c��e back to this. Chairperson Harris asked if
the Planning Co:n�mission rri.shed to make a recorLmendation on this item or

defer to the other items if the Co:�mission so desi,red.

i�:r. Belo m stated that �the Human Resources Co:�.mzssicn �ras atte�npting to
represent what he called ti�e "non-materizl�' aspects of life in Fridley;
and was supposed to focus on t�e hum�n element rather than the property,
buildings, real es�ate� and so on. �ie stated that the Hwman Resources
Corunission had co:�e to tne conclusion that a city the a�e of Fridley c�as
due for some kind of a huri2r.e level exchange o£ nei�;s, and they tnought
that what the people did and tho�aght i��as very ir,ipor�ant to people living
in Fridley. He stated t;�at people said Fridley �ras s�:rply a bedroom
community, b�at that was �. misno:ner because peo;�le's m.ost importan � lives
were lived at home T•rith their fa^�ilies. He said they had a feeling tnat
the news concerning the people of Fridley �rould be of great importance.
P:r. Belgum said they had tested this out and ?�ad several meetings with
� representative citizens, and had asked theM to indicate the kinds of
things they would li'_�ce to lcnot�r about in their home to:�m. He stated the;�
had come up with the folloz�:ino main categories; political life, educational
� pro�rans, overvie:•r o?' businesses in Fridley, cultural activzties and
religious life. 2�;r. Belgum stated t:�at it could be said that t�ras the
intention of cable T.V., but only 1,50� persons �:ere tied in�o that and
a Iimited a,^�ount oi time tiras given. i�x. Belguri said that the S�n P1e�:spaper
helped with tnis, but it covered 25 or 30 suburbs and it would be.impossible
�� £or them to cover in detail each of t.ie cot�munities they served. •
i•ir. 3elgurn stated that because of this increasin� desire of peop� e to kno:,r

in 1-.inneapolis - St. Paul irhich addressed themselves to local news in the
past three years. �ie said that this �endency of co:n�-�unities wanting to
l:no:,r t��at was going on in iheir cor�v�unity had groc-m so much that �the
University of Alinnesota k'3S looking into that phenomenon and following this
movement; they �rere very interested in the passibility that a suburb �ike
Fridley mi�ht i,rant to try somethino. He continued that one of the grofessors
told him that there was a r�aster's de�ree student ready to go to work to
establish a questionnaire in a suburb like Fridley to see what type oi
new�spaper people .•rould like, ��rhat sha�e ne:�rspaper they wanted, and �rhat
it would be worth to them.
ifir. Belgum said that people at the School of Journalisr� had told him that
the idea of a public non-profit organi�ation supporting a local ne�rspaper
had been batted around by many suburbs, but nobody had tried it. He said
there was also the possibility that sorae other ti.•ay of financing r�ight be
developede He stated that the;,� were in �he very beginning stages of this
exploration, and that T�ras .�rh;yr he had been invited to this meeting. He
said that it seemed to him this would broaden the understanding of ir'nat kind
oi human beings lived here and what t;rpe of hurnan interest potentials
tdould help to elevate and ir�prove the City and the neighborhood.
1�1r. Lan;enfeld conmented that he felt �he idea of having a comrnuzity
� newspaper would, ti,lithout questien, benefit the en�ire cor��unity. He
said there ��ere many thin�s that toak place t�ithin this city, such as
plays, that peoplz ��ere totally unaware of. Cn��thing that troubled hi:-n,
� he said, was that it seemed there �,rere so many people here i�ho came
ho-ne fram wor'.{, �id their ch�res, and then left for the i�Jee�end. He
said he just �:ondered if at that particulax stag� a netaspaper wouldn't
be that beneficia� . i•Ir. Langenfeld ekplaine� �hat Y?e thought this ti�:as
� a moving co:n�-�unity as far as the weeker.ds tiaere concerned, a.nd neople
didn't seem to ��rant to get that involved dur�no the evening.
Tir. �elgum said he didn't knou: a great deal abo�i+ no�,r many people in
Fridley left for th� i•reekends or ,•;hat interest there �,;ould be in a I� ge
ntunber of neople knowing the overciew of all of the activities that t•�ere
going on. He stated that he could �ay that a nuriber o: people he had
talkecl to had indicated that they kne��: very l�ttl_e about th�ir oVm co:lmunity
and t�ould like ta have a s^;a7.1 ne�tis;�aper that ,iould give them a picture
of what �,ras goino on. T�;r. 3°lgur� added that one 'thing that charac�erized
the forty co:�unity ne:,-s�a�ers he had :�entioned :��as �hat they t•rere pretty
well divided bettaeen reportino news and giving opin?ens, so there �ras
an exchange of ideas on iM�ortant issues.
?��r. Langenfeld stated that the d�signated aaper certainly did not fulii2l
the function of infor_�►ing t:�e City of i•rhat kas really goin� on or oi
the opinions of other citi::e:�s. He said it seeMed that if a letter was
irritten to the Sun it hud to b� screened, and then only certain people got
through. Fie added that he apprecia��d i�12•. �elgw-�'s com,r�ents. '

4hc people t�r'�o were vrilling to serve on the cor,vmittee. Upon a voice vote,
all votino aye, tne motion carried unaniriously.
Plrs. Schnabel noted that the Human �esources minutes said that 125 inter-
� vie�rs taould be done. She asl;ed if that was a valid statistical survey in
terms of the po�ulation. T�1r. Belgwn sa�d he tiras not an ex�ert on how studies
like this �rould be taken. He stated that the consultzrit tney had tal�ced to
' from the School of Journalisn had said that if this sample :�ras dratm rignt,
it could be a good sa�ple. H� added that a grou� of people he had met with
a fe�r days a�o had suggested that the sa-nple be doubled to 250. i-ir.
� Belgurn said that the cost ior daing a 12� saJaple study iaTOU�C� cost a'oout
$500 for cor�pu�er �,rork, travel, etc. i•`_rs. Schnaoel noted that �:ould come
out to about ��. an inter�aie�r.

Iirs. Schnabel said that in view of the fact that the nwnber of subscribers
to Cable T.V. °�as a small percentage of the population of the City� and
in viezl of the fact that the subscr?bers to the Sun Neyrspaper were a rather
sma11 number, she wondered if t:�ey had studi�d if there was a rea? desire
in the Cor1,*7urlity fo?^ a community ne��rs�ap�r. i�s. 3elgu.m said t:�a� the �rajT
he understood it, the �roposed study by the Master's de�ree student t•rould
be to address tha�t ver-y question. 'irs. Schnabel asked if it t•rould cost
$500 to $600 just to find tnat out, and '�Ir. �elgu.� replzed that i•ras correct.
1 1�Ir. Zangenfeld as'.�ed ii this Vrould be an at-rando-n surveys and ?-:�. Eelgum
anshered tnat it :�rould be designed to �e representative. He added it ti•rauld
be a scientifically seZected sa:�nple. 2�_r. Lanoenfeld then asked the members
of the Planning Co:�:nission if they �•rou3d be inte, �sted in a co:,,r-iunity news-
' paper. Chairperson Harris replied inat irankly, he nadn't thought about
it before he sa:� the minutes tonigh�. i�s. Ber�an said 'ne could respond to
that. He said that �Ir. Langenfeld had asked a ver�,� siriple question, but
' he didn't believe it t•ras a comnlete question. He said :�e c��as interested,
but he �tianted to kno�fr nor� about it before Y:e could say he �•rould su'oscribe.
He �ranted to �cno�r no:�r muc:� i � zras going �o cost him, if it Taas going to be

i•ir. Belgw-� said that t-,as precisely tahy ti�ey j,rere forrninb this cc:z�nit �ee--
to explore the various ti�rays a vaper could be developed. 'r?e sta�ed that the
fortv co;rnnunity n�:�spapers in the St. Paul - i�?inneanolis area were financed
in an a.�azi.ng va:iety of ::ays; some nad :ederal grants, some were entirely
supported by advertisin�, sone iJere �rivate enterprises, etc. ::r. Bel�;-tuti
said �hat one thino they all seemed to have in cor1,^�on ti•:as tnat �:�iey all told

seer�ed to be a ver-y heai thy th�n� for ±he Cit;� of �idley.

to the tune of 7500. '.�-�r. Belgun stated he *�:as simply sayin� that was a
possibilzty tha� did e�cist. �Ie said the reason he was here was because the
Hur�an Resources Comrnission had auihorazed him to propose this to the City
Council.
Chairperson uasris as:�e3 out of i•r!�ose bud�et ihe $50� ;�rould come if the

she didn't �orr. She said they di�n't even 'r,no;�r if they had a budget; they
had been trying to �et an accurate account of ho.•� much there taas, and

�irs. Shea no �ed that in the last Planning Co;��nission mi.nutes there had been
s�me discussion on the ne"rs�aper and ho:ti• the;� could ar'�itrarily chanoe
dates, and said that Uras so:;.ethin� else to think about. She said that if
it z�ras the City newspaper, no�efu?lf that z•:ouldr_'t hap�en. i�irs. Sc'nnabel
asked if t�e int�nt .�ras for this to become that i��e oi ne�rspaper or
if �t �r�s -to become the kind that i�Tas pretty oriented to�:ards their paxtic-
ular section of the city. She stated that kir.d did not serve as a vehicle
for legal notices or that t��e of thing. She said that her impression was,
in fact, tnat �hey became highly political vehicles :�rithin their particular
areas.
2•Sr. Belgum said t:�at there vrere mar_`r questions c��cerning what type of
� ne,�rspaper ti�ould best serve the resid�nts oi x'i^� dle�� and that ti�ras ti�a�zat
the stu�y corlrt�.i�ne �,ould tr� ta fznd oui. �ie said they trere inviting

tho�ont; .if tne f�eling s��as t�3t th� citizens o.� Fridl.ey ti�rouldn't benefit

1Ir. Peterson stated that he �ras al.:�ays intrigued by �ris mysterious "they",
� and he heard it all the ti�e. ne said that "�Ir. Belgum had mentioned several
tir�ies that enoa�h people in Fridley thought tn�;� should have a ne?-rspaper,
and he lived zn Fridle�r an� hadn't heard oi a? o � oi peo�l e t�king about
�� the need for a ne�sspaper. He said he ,:as curious as to �Zr. Belgtu�'s point
of reier�nce--Vaho they had sampled and hota they :�a3 arrived at this to maice
such a broad, general statement. 1�i:. Belgum stated tha+ he ha�.*�'t said
' enouoh people t'r.ought there should be a neVrspa�er so there shou?d be a neks-
papzr� bilt Y12� 531.� +hat enou�h peo�Ie had e�::�ressed an interest in if„ to
cause ire Hu,-�an �esources Co�mission to nar�e a study comraittee. He explained
that he had �ersonally talked to fort;� or fifty people, and this possibility
' had been been boiling around in their Co.*�-�ission ior a year. He said they
ha� discussions ;•rith peo�le from t�e Sun ide:•�s�aper and discussions about
tne possibilities of the Frid� ey T.V. syster�, ar.d the cor�unission ca�-ne to the

2•ir. Sheldon 1�Iortenson and I•s. Gregory Tlortenson were present.
' rs. Clark sho:�red the Comr�ission t:�e Highway Department plans for the inter-
section and explzined the�n in detail. ?-ie said that basically �rhat they were
doing was channelizing and creatino turn lanes for 53rd onto xign�,�ay 65.
, ��ie stated that the signal.ization t•:ou1d be �rith left turn a_rro�•rs, and a
relatively ne.�� concept c�tould be use� t,rnere East-bound traiiic could go any
direction it i•ran �ed and the T„est-bound trafiic „ras held, and then the
opposite. :r. Clark said there had been ti,o proposals drafted by Fridley's
� �g ;.neering Depar �:�ent for the access to :�iena.rds and Sjcyr;ood i�;a11, and
sho:;ed them to t:he Co:�.nission and ths in�erested parties, i-Ie explained
that one plan ,.ras very similar except that one lane haci been eliminated and
' tze median_ had b�en made larger; he added t:^at this plan ��ras probablf more
aest:zeticall3T �leasing and hould also be adequate for the trafiic that would
be using it.

Ivlr. Peierson asked if this was aasically the sa^�e plan that �Ir. ���an
had last tir;�e, �.nd ;�;r. Clar�c said it �r:as.
?�ir. Sheldon P�Sortenson sa�d he realized thers t�ras a problern and agreed it
got pretty congested in that area. He Qs!�ed ii that would then be City
nropert3r. T�Ir. Clark said there were t��o t�rays it could tie accomplished.
One :•rould be strictl;� by private monies on private properties; and the
ov:;er j�;as that the property o�ti�ner c�ould dedica�e t��e necessary right of
t�;ays to the City oi Fridley, Fridley ti•rould d� the improver�en�s and then
assess then back to the properties. T;r. �?ortenson comriented that either
i��f �e would pay. I�:r. Cla.rk sai� that the difference might be that if
they :Jaited for the developer to da this, it mihht never occur. If the
Citti• did it, he said, the iinanci.ng t:ould he spread over a number of years.
NIr. Peterson said that it seemed to him that part of the prablem at 53rd
G.� : Cenir :1 i�as no t on].y on the East sid�, but also on the :•lest. He said
t:�a� if ttiey rr�re going to b� dead-en_�in� one lane at the first Target
dri:�e,:ay, Targ�t should s!�are in the ease�ents. r;r. Glark said that a

last couple of mont;�s, and before �that possibly monthly. He said that Target
would share on that side.
Further discussion followed, and :Irs. Schnabel poi.nted out her concern on
the p1an. 1�1r. Clark informed the Co:�.nission tzat since 1971 the reported
accidents in that area ��rere 7, and the most ti•ras t�ro in one year. He added
he didn't knota if aIl had been reported. Chairperson Harris stated that
they were usually recorded if �they too'.�c place on public property, but
not necessarily �n private proper�y. I�irs. Schnabel said the additional
problem was because �;enards was generating more traf�ic than the previous
tenant did.
r'�s'. B°rgms.n said he would like to brieily talk about the bike�ay plan
' through this area. He stated that �he present bike:aay tilan showed a crossing
at this intersection, crossin� HibhT.�ay 65 on 53rd, which �ras a problem
that should be addressed, He pointed out on the plan the two routes going
, to the top of the hill; one folla::ed the service drive and has ridable�
the alternate suggestion h as not in the original plan, but was to run back
on side��ralk and then so:�eho:,r get up the hill. He said he didn' � think
, they had really resolved the routing throuon there. T:r. Bergr��n stated that
he did �rant to brino out that the bike:�rav nlan did get them on to the
edge of this property, and tnere :•:ere those ttilo possibilities. He added
tha� he thouont the property o�mer should be aTV�are
� there �iere bikeway plans
for tnat a.rea. ;�;r. Peterson corzm,ented that the bikztaaf had also been before
the Parks and Recrea�ion Cor�.� ssion, and th� b�ke*r,ray sc:�eme that he had
seen did not provifle for the cros��ng of �*:f a�rterial or busy street.

t•x. E�nst said he Jrished to point out several ite�s, and had colored up
� a site plan to sho:•r what he proposed. He stated tha�t in reading the
Minutes of the Appeals Co:r_mission meeting, he didn't think it vras stressed
enough that the right-turn lane froM the South �ras very iriportant. He
said that one of the conditions the City Council had asked for in 197� was
, that the develop:aent pay for the cost of the construction of this right-
turn lane. i��;r. �rnst said he pictured it being done in such a fashion
that south-bound iraffic f-rom East River Road ��ould almost be prohibited
� fro^� using it (by the design of it and also the signing oi the right-turn
la.ne) .
Secondly, P�ir. E..rnst continued, they didn't carry the right-turn lane far
enough to the South as to make the turn onto 79th. He said another imgortant
consideration ��as dedicating the rioht of t,�a;� to accommodate that turn lane
(there f;ould be t�;o ri��t turn-lanes onto 79th) e
2;r. Ernst notsd that ths Appeals Co;n.�ission r�ad discussed the possib?lity
of elirninatir_g a cou�le oi �axking spaces, as they did have a surplus of
tt•ro, and t�is dr�:�ring did cut out t?�ro spaces . He explained that tney
had 12ndsca�ed and �reen�d in those spaces along ��rith part oi the drive.�ra,;r
that provided access to those parkino spaces. i•s. Ernst stated tha� ��:is
allo��aed for corn�r visabilitf and prolided more green area. He said th�t
it didn't elininate �he fro.�t setback require�ent any, but it did a11o�r
for a better corner approach thez•e. I�s. Ernst said he thou�ht those points
tiaere valid� and zdded that the site needed the granting of the yariances
in arder to be developed. He stated they had a lease ready to be executed
from 7-11. .

eliminating tvro parking stalls tti�as that a 7-11 store usually had a r�axir,�um
of about six. cars at any �iven ti��e, so they wou l d onlf be using about
six of the 38 stalls and the other 32 iaould be used b;� V:hatever other

out on 79th and then on to East River P.oad.

have any bearing on the City Council's decision at this tiMe, and :�ir. Clarn
replied he thought it could if the ninutes reflected that the o�mer thought
a convenience store :•rould be the pro�er thing t� do and tne Council thought
it Mignt or might not make sense. He added that he didn't lmo�r if the
minutes reflected that or not.
Iirs. Schnabel stated that she knew that several of the area residen�s
had ex�ressed quite a bit o.f concern about that corner through the years,
and it had been brouoht out at the �ppeals meeting that one resident across
East River Poad i•rondered why residen�ial couldn't go onto that corner.
She said she pointed out that tnis had been zoned C-2S for 17 yeaxs, and
the pro�erty o:�mer himself had not i.nitiated 4 rsquest to change it. Sne
said she felt the City didn't necessarily nave any control over that; if
the prop°rty o�rner t��ished that to renain a corL*�ercial �roperty, there
was not much they could do aoout it in spite of t•r'zat the area residents
t:anted to sez in there. '
i•Ir. Bergman said he thou�ht there ti�ras sorlething they could do. He stated
that their only concern at this point :•:as because so:�ebodjr t•�anted to build
something com.*�ercial on the prop°i�t�jr• He said t�at if they ti,rere to deny
the request to build and the o�mer �ranted to leave it C-2S, there t:�s no
proble:� there, eith�r. He stated tnat if they approved a corcmercia? build;ng
of this nature on tne proper-�y, tnat tiaas the only �ray to� in fact, develop
it co�.�erc�al.lf. ?iro Bergr�an added that either i� didn't develop coTM��ercially
or there T�,as t�e o�tion of rezonin� and puttin� apartments on it. I•Irs.
Sc?znabel said that her �oint ti,ras that in 17 years t.�e property o:mer had
not trished to 'r?ave � � rezoned. '
Chairperson ?�arris asked if the o:�-nershiti of tne property had changed,
and ;;r. Ernst replied it had.n't, to :�is knotaledge, in the past 7- 8 years.
he said tha� just pa;��.ng tla.�{AJ over �hat long period of tine had priced
it into the co.,�-�ercial ma.r�cet, and it would be economicall;� unfeasible
to deve?op i� �or multiple. He added that he ��;as payinb comriercial price
for the proper �;�.
?•Lr. Bergr►an as}:ed i� he h�d developed other 7-11 projects, and ':,s. F�nst
replied he had. �s. $ergr�an asked if there ti�rerentt areas t•;here he had built
only a 7-1.1 store on a piece of property, and :•s. Ernst ans.-rered that he
had built one ?ree-standin� 7-11 store (the first one in the TF�in Ci�ies),
and since t:zen had developed nine centers like the one he t:as propos;.ng
over tiie last four years.
1s. Beraman said his only ttiought T�ras t:�at there :•:ere sone options to reduce
the conflicts *.•:i �h setbacks, and so forth. He said it t•;as not really
necessary that the bui�din� be of t:�4t size and on one floor and•�be that
r.!uch in conflict ;�rith the setbacns. i•s. �rnst re�lied that the econo:�ics .
required a bu�.ld;ng oi that size to ;•:or�.
Chairperson rarris �,sked i.f it t•:ould be economically feasible to use the
sar:�e �ro�osal �:�at t:�e ;•Iei•idian Corporation used �n 1975, and 1�;s'. E�nst
replied it would not, especial.ly ldltn the addition of the final requirement

of the Council to construct tne right-turn 1�ne. He explained there F�as a
ditch there that t��ould take substantial filling, and they :•ranted to build
it to state hign:•;ay standaxds. He said that was his reason for requiring
the increase in the �auild�ng size.
I•1r. Clark had checked throu�h the files, and informed the Commission that
� in 1962 there had been a permit issued to build a filling station on
that lo�, but i� �ras never built. He said that apparently the petitioner
traited too long to start and the per�r►it expired. P-ir. Clark added that it
� was possible that in 1962 the zoning ordinance didn't require a Special
Use Permit; he thought that changed in 1969. .

Chairperson Haxris asked if that ti•ras a 7-11 store on East River Roa3 and
Mississippi, and �-r. Ernst replied it iaas� bit it hadn't been b�ailt as
a 7-11. He said tnat i,as on the other side of the road axid �icked up
difierent traf'fic. P-s. Harris asked Jrhat the tot�l land area �•;as they
were talking abou�, and :�ir. Ernst replied the land area zras 1�2,0�0 feet--
just about an acre.
, Chairperson Harris asked if the CorL-nission wanted to ta�:e any action on
this, and Mrs. Shea saic� she ti�rould reco:��end that they pass it on to Council
and get on to the nert item.

I�1rs. Schnab�l said that in order to be consistent, it should be deleted

that if there were going t� oe Public Nearings on an� application for a

�
1. REQUEST FOR VARIANCLS OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE AS FOLLOWS: SECTION
� 205.0533 �s A, TO RE�UCE THE FROAIT YARD SETBACK FROi�i THE FE��UIRED
35 FEET TO 27 FEET, AND �ECTION 205.053, 1�, B, TO REDUCE THE I�iINIP�IUI�i

!�1 N.E. 661� WAY, FRIDLEY, 1�1IP�NESOTA. (Reques�t by Lawrence A. Hamer,
1�1 N.E. 66 z Way, Fridley, Minnesota, 55432).
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Kemper, to open the Public Hearing. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
ADhIINISTRaTIVE STAFF REPORT
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVF.D BY REQUIRENiENT:
Section 205.053, 1�, A, requiring a front yard setback of 35 feet.
Public purpose served is to allow for off-street parking without
encroaching on public right of way. Also for aesthetic cansideration
to reduce the "building line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's
front yard.
Section 205.053, 1�, B, 1 requiring a 10 foot side yard setback to living .
area in an R-1 zone.
Public purpose served by this section of the code is to maintain a
minimum of 20 feet between living areas in adjoining structures and
15 feet between garages and living areas in adjoining structures, to
reduce exposure to conflagration of fire between structures. Also to
allow for aesthetically pleasing open areas around residential structures.
Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting - March 15, 1977 Page 2
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
Petitioner's hardship is that he cannot get his two cars into his garage
with the present single door. He wishes to remove the closet which
protrudes into the garage and needs the extra space for the closet and
family living area.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF �tEPORT:
The house in question has an existing side yard of approximately 5 feet.
The attached garage to the East is 12 feet from the common property line.
The adjacent houses are all at approximately the 35 ?oot setback line.
The oVmer apparently plans to enlarge his garage door, delete a closet
protruding into the gara�e and add some living space onto the rear.
Thus the need for the variance from 10 feet to 5 ieet in the sideyaxd
to accommodate the new living area. The new living area would be 17
feet from the neighboring garage. Proposed building line is 8 feet
ahead of the neighboring houses. A scale drawing, but no verifying
survey, has been provided.
Mr. Larry Hamer, !�l N.E. 6b2 Way; and Mr. Ronald E. Steclanan, 58 Rice Creek
Way were present.
Mr. Harier said that he had plans for the proposed addition, but didn't have
them with him. He explained that tr.e house was constructed in such a manner
that it had a cicset ir� t:�e garage which cui down or. t:�e usability* �f the
garage to put the second car in. He said he wanted to remove that closet,
have the fariily room upstairs, and use the basement for his hobby (working
with woodworking tools). He further explained that his main reason for
the request vras to a11ow r.im room to get both cars in his garage� and would
also add a larger garage door. He showed the Com,mission on the drawing
how the addition would be laid out, pointing out the family room with the
basement underneath. Mr. Hamer said he drove a city car (St. Anthony) and
rarely drove his second car, so it s�t out in front of his house, which he
didn't feel was very fair to the neighbors. He said there were five geople
in his family.
Chairperson Schnabel asked if Mr. Hamer intended to put a full basement
underneath the back portion, and he replied he did. She asked if that would
become the family room, and he replied no, the family room would be on the
top level.
' Mr. Hamer said he had taken a petition around and had the neighbors sign
it, and all were in favor of his proposal. Chairperson Schnabel read the
petition to the Board, and noted it had been signed by 22 people.
,
'
'
�
MOTION by Gabel, seconded by Barna, that the Appeals Commission receive
the petition of approval signed by 22 of Mr. Hamer's neighbors. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
At this point Mr. Hamer heaxd the fire siren and had to leave as he informed
the Board he was a fire fighter. r1r. Ron Steckman approached the Commission
and explained he was rir. Hamer's neighbor and had drawn up the plans, so
2 HH
. . �.`—�
2 II
Fridley Appeals Commission Meeti.ng - March 15, 197?. page 3
he could probably answer any questions that the Commission had. rir. Hamer
returned a few minutes later and reported that the fire had just been a
dumpster.
Mrs. Gabel asked if the window would be closed off and a fire wall put up.
Mr. Steckman said there were only windows straight out to the East. He
explained the plans, and it was decided that a fire wall wasn't needed there;
only between the garage and the living area. Mrs. Gabel s aid there was
a specific distance between two structures that required a fire wall, and
asked Mr. Holden if he knew what that was. rir. Holden replied that the
Uniform Building Code and the Fridley Zoning Code said that if 15� was
maintained between structures, no protection was needed. He said this
addition would be 17' away, so he saw no reason for a fire wall.
Mrs. Gabel asked if all the setbacks on the street were 35', and Mr. Holden
replied it looked like they all were. Pr. Kemper asked what the boulevaxd
was in front of the home, and N1r. Hamer replied 10'.
Mr. Holden asked if anyone had voiced objection to his plan, and Mr. Hamer.
answered no. He said he had gone around to see what the neighbors' feelings
were on this as he didn't want to start any of this unless they approved
of it. He explainec� that there was one house on the block that looked similar
to what he intended his to look like, so he had used that as an example.
Chairperson Schnabel asked when he planned to start consiruction on this,
and rlr. Hamer replied he would start as soon as the road limits were lifted.
She noted he had a blacktop driveway at the present time, and asked if that
would remain as blacktop with the additian, and Mr. Hamer said that was
correct. •
Mrs. Gabel asked if he would tie the roof lines together so it would be
aesthetically pleasing, and Mr. Hamer replied yes and added he didn't want
it to look hodgepodge. I�Zr. Steclanan commented it would be a gable roof, and
would look r�icer than it did right noUr. Nlrs. Schnabel asked if this would
affect the walk-in door, and Mr. Hamer replied it wouldn't. NIr. Stecianan
said he had no objections to the proposed plans whatsoever.
MOTIOTd by Barna, seconded by Kemper, to close the Public Hearing. Upon a
voice vote� all voting aye� the motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Gabel stated she didn't have any objections, and she felt that a little
bit of staggering of houses done with some consideration for the surroundings
and done in a pleasing mariner sometimes made the neighborhood more attractive
than having all the houses set 35' back. She said that r1r. Hamer needed the
room and didn't want his car parked out on the street, which could be a
nuisance when it snowed.
Mr. Barna said he didn't have any objection, and thought the staggering
wouldn't upset anything. Mr. Kemper agreed.
MOTION by Baxna, seconded by Kemper, that the Appeals Commission approve
the request for variances as stated.
� 2 JJ
. Fridley A�peals Commission Meeting - March 15, 1977 Page 1�
�
Chairperson Schnabel asl;ed if Mr. Barna had any feelings in terms of a
� stipulation requiring that there be no windows on the side facing the
neighbors.
� Mr. Barna AMENDED the MOTION to include a stipulation that there be no
', ' windows on the East side of the livin� quarters within 15' of the neighboring
garage, and there be a fire wall between the living area the the garage axea.
Chairperson Schnabel said she thought it would be well to digress for a
moment and ask Mr. Hamer, as a fire fighter, what he thought in terms of
people requesting to put additions on to houses and getting living areas
closer to other living areas� and so forth. She explained the Commission's
concern had always been to allow arlple space for fire fighters to get between
structures to get to a fire and attempt to cut down the spread of fire.
Mr. Hamer replied that for an example, there had been a gaxage fire last
tiaeek where the garage was 5' from the structure. He said that by the time
they responded (from their homes), the fire was really going and had
scorched the house. He said the fire had probably been going for four minutes
before the al.arm was sounded, and it probably took another three minutes
to get to the fire. He stated that at a distance of 15', a fire would have
to create quite a bit of heat to do damage to a house. Mr. Barna asked if
there were any windows�that got scorched, and Mr. Harier replied that two
windows had gotten cracked.
Chairperson Schnabel said that in terms of being able to reach the source
of a fire, they had a number of situations where people had ti�ranted to go
3' to a lot line, and also fences going dotm in between. She said they
had tried to be very consistent in making sure there was some access to
the rear of the property in case of a fire, and asked how important that
was. Mr. Hamer said that if she was referring to !�' fences, they leaped over
1�' fences all the time. He said the largest problem was in a storage yard,
for instance, where they had to cut into the fence. He added tnat normally
in residential they didn't have much of a problem. Nirs. Schnabel said she
appreciated that information very much.
Mr. Barna DELETED the AI4TENDMENT in its entirety. rir. Holden pointed out that
the fire wall was a requirement of the building code, so that stipulation
wasn't needed.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� all voting �ye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Gabel commended the Fire Department for doing such a good job.
Mr. Kemper said he thought it should be mentioned that once the variance
request had been approved, the petitioner should be reminded that he could
now apply for a building permit. iie said he had the feeling sometimes
that people walked out of the meeting thinking that they could staxt
construction. Chairperson Schnabel said it was a point well taken.

MOTTON by Barna, seconded by Kemper, to open the Public Hearing. Upon a

ADMINISTRATNE STAFF REPORT
A. PUBI,IC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIR.EP�tENT:
Section 205.7.03, !�� A2 (Paragraphs 1. 2 and 3) requiring an 80 foot
setback from the main structure to any public right of ��ay.
Public purpo�e served is to provide for adequate parking and open
Iandscaped axeas as well as to congestion and provide adequate site
cleaxances in commercial areas.
Section 205.103, �ty B, requring a side yard setback of 1� feet from
a common property line.
Public purpose served is to provide for adequate open areas around
structures and cleax access for fire fighting and to reduce the
conflagration of fire.
Sectior. 205.101�� 1, E, prohibiting parking in commercial areas within
any portion of the required 20 foot front yard.
Public purpose served is to limit visual encroachment into neighboring
sight lines and to allow for aes�hetically pleasing open areas adjacent
to public right of ways.
Section 205.103, R, C, 2 requiring a rear yard setback of 25 feet.
Public purpose served is to provide adequate access for fire fighting
and again to limit threats from conflagration of fire.
� Fridley Appeals Commission Meetin� - Maxch 15, 1977
Page 6
Section 205.103, 6B, requiring a minimum set back of 50 feet from a
common boundary line of neighboring property which is zoned other than
commercial.
Public purpose served is to provide adequate open "buifer" areas between
zoning districts for aesthetic and development reasons.
B. STATID HARDSHIP:
Due to street setback requirements on three sides, the building area
available is only about 1�% (1,825 square feet) of the total site axea
of about �.2,226 square feet. This is an er,tremely low coverage £igure.
In addition, the angled geometry oi the property makes for an unusual
configuration if the site is to be utilized properly or to its even
sma11 building r�axi.�um. The petitioner applies for a vaxiance to build
to the size and configuration snown on the enclosed drawing.
C. ADi�1INISTRATNE STI�FF REVIE`�T:
The property in question was zoned as R-3 when the original zoning
ordinance was adopted in 1956. In 196o it was rezoned to C-2S (general
shopping areas). Several subsequent proposals, including a filling
station, were submitted 2nd either denied or withdrawn. A siriilar request
to this one, was approved by the Board of Appeals on P�Iay 13, 1975. It
was ap�iroved by the City Council as well. Because no �urther action
was taken and no building permit issued, the approved variances have
lapsed.
The unusual circumstances of this corner property being bounded on
three of four sides by public right of way extremely limits the available
building area, The proposed building of 7,008 square feet (compared to
5,200 square feet in the Nleridian Corporation request in 1975) will
apparently house a 7-11 Store with the remainder as office space. (The
1975 request included a coin-operated laundry). The building will cover
approximately 17% of the lot. No plans are on file for the original
�975 request.
A list of the stipulations which Council imposed on the 1975 request by
Nleridian Corporation have been included as a reference. Please note
that th� request for the petition�r to petition Council for a rezoning
from C-2S (�eneral shopping areas) to C-1 (local shopping areas) would
reduce -Lhe setback requirements from 80 feet to 35 feet off 79th Avenue
and Ea.st River Road.
A Bond, covering the costs of all stipulated improvements, will be
required. In addition, all necessary and proper right of ways, easements
and letters of eneroachment should be submitted and recorded prior to
the issuar�ce of any building permits.

CITY COUNCIL RECON�NDED APPROVAL OF TiiE DEV�LOPMENT AS PROPOSED BY MERIDIAN
CORPOIiA.TIOId AT THE INTERSECTION OF 79TH WAY AP1D Ei�ST RIVER ROAD WITH THE
FOLLOWING STIPULATIOPIS:
l. Extensive landscaping on the site; plan filed with Planning Depaxtment.
2. Berming to be of sufficient height to protect the residents from automobile
lighting. (as indicated on the plans)
3. Additional plants (as marked on the plans).
!�. F�tire building would be brick.
5• Buffer plantings incorporated with berm.
6. Lighting focused down so as not to shine into the residential property
owner's windows.
7. All blacktop adjoining green area to be separated by poured concrete curbing.

drive, the portion not being used for refuse storage and handling to be
used for plantings.
10. Sidewalk connection constructed to Lincoln Street. If an agreement cannot
be reached between P•leridian and r�zdali, the sidewalk connection should be
constructed anyway, but only on I�Ieridian�s property. This will offer
property protection from nearby residents.
11. Parking moved down to 20 feet to pick up additional room to enable cars
to face in instead of against each other.
12. Applicant will petition the City for rezoning from C-2S to C-1 and there
will be no contest on zoning change in future.
13. Easements to be dedicated to City of Fridley as noted on attached map.
1li. Applicant will construct a deceleration lane from the driveway abutting
East River Road to the south. The deceleration lane is to be a 12 foot

southward from the driveway entrance 100 feet southward from the south
radius and then taper at 15:1 to tie back into the existing roadway.
The typical section shall consist of 8" Class V base, 11�" asphalt binder
course (MHD 23lt1) and l�" asphalt wearing course (r1HD 231�1). All con-
struction shall be in accordazzce with the hlinnesota Department of Highways
Standard Specifications for Highway Construction dated January 1, 1972,
and as amended by Supplemental Specification for Highway Construction
dated January 1, 197�.
15• A bond covering the cost of all stipulated improvements would be required.

Mr. Richaxd C. Ernst, representing the R.C.E. Corporation; and Mr. Robert
A. Minish, 331 Pearson Way, N.E., an interested person, were present.
NIr. Holden showed the Commission the plan that had been submitted two years
ago and told them how it varied.
Mr. Minish stated he hadn't received a notice two years ago, and wondered
if the standards had changed. I�Srs. Schnabel checked the file and determined
his name hadn't been on the mailing list before, and there were a few more
names on the present mailing list.
Chairperson Schnabel asked I�ir. Ernst if either he or his father (who is
President of the R.C.E. Cor�oration) were associated with the Meridian
Corporation. i�1r. Ernst replied they were not, although their proposal
was based on the i;eridian plan. He explained that their primary tenant
would Ue 7-11, and they had taken the recommendations that had been stipulated
in the first plan and incorporated those into this plan which they were
presenting tonight. He said they had increase the size of the building for
economic reasons and placed the setback at 35'. Other than that, he saa.d�
there were no other changes in basic layout of the building on this property.
He added that this property was chastised quite a bit by the general ordinances,
and that was the reason for the variances.
Chairperson Schnabel suggested the Commission label tne requests for
variances on the Official Notice of tne Public Hearing as "A" through "G",
so they ti�rould be easier to refer to. She noted that the request before them
was for 7�008 square feet and the previous plans called for the building
to be 5,200 square feet; so the only change from the previous request would
be on request A, which called for a reduction from 80' to 35'. Mrs. Schnabel
also pointed out to the Commission the area in blue on th� plans, which
represented the total area that would be buildable if all the setbacks were
met ( about I� o) .
Chairperson Schnabel stated that one of the major concerns two years ago
was the fact that people would be coming off of East River Road onto this
property and might be tempted to go back on East River Road from this
property, and it had been suggested that a sign be put up saying "No Right
Turn". I�Sr. Ernst stated that his engineer had designated that sign. Chair-
person Schnabel said that the members of the Appeals Corlmission and City
Council thougllt it would be dangerous otherwise, and they wanted Lincoln Street
to be the only source of egress and ingress.
rlr. riinish stated that he had been in a traffic accident at that corner and
was very concerned about the safety factor. He said he didn't have any
problem with the building or any of the setbacks, but was concerned about
the traffic it would generate.
Chairperson Schnabel said the State and County would have to work together �
to get signalization put in at that corner, and asked what the status was
on the proposed signalization. rir. Barna replied that it was in the planning
stages at this time, possibly for next year. He said that the study had been
started, and plans were for a complete improvement of the intersection. He
said that right now that intersection was a death trap, and he was surprised
there weren't more accidents there. rir. riinish stated he just wanted the
� '�
2 00
Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting - March 15, 1977 Page 9
Commission to realize what his concerns were for that corner� and then left
the meeting.
Chairperson Schnabel asked if Mr. Ernst had any communicati.on �rith rir. Flidali
or anyone from the Meadow Run Apartments on this, and Mr. �nst replied he
hadn't. P�rs. Gabel asked hota this situation went from Meridian to the
R.C.E. Corporation. P�x. Ernst explained that when Meridian was going to
construct the building, times were quiie difficult in the mortgage department
for money to build, so it was dropped. He said that 7-11 was interested in
this particular site, and they were the company that was taking over the
plans. He said they had an option on the property now.
Mrs. Gabel asked why the previously-approved plan t�ras no l�nger suitable
for 7-11, and Nirs. Schnabel said the new contractor/developer had a new
concept on what should be in there. :�Irs. Gabel asked Vrhy a larger building
had been proposed, and P-1r. Ernst said it was for economic reasons primarily.
He explained that 7-11 had increasPd the size of their stores over the past
six months and were planning on a larger store. Also, he said, there would
be more room to rent.
Mr. Holden said that the previous plans had called for a coin-operated
laundry. Chairperson Schnalael noted that one of the things that made them
hold back was when Mr. Fl�.dali told them there were many coin-operated
laundries within tre apartment complexes themselves. ;Zr. Ernst said that
there might be a dry cleaning establishment included in the new plans.
Mr. Kemper asked what the outcome �ras of the original request made by the
Meridian group. Chairperson Schnabel explained that the requests were
approved with a number of stipulations� but appaxently P�ieridian could not
get financing so they dropped the idea. i•x. Kemper asked if all of the
stipulations put on by the Council at that time still applied, and I�1rs.
Gabel replied they didn't because the time had run out. Air. Kemper noted
that the only actual change was in the dimension of the building.
Chairperson Schnabel said she had a ques�ion regarding the number of paxking
stalls, and asked how many would be required for this plan. Mr. Holden
"replied that Staff had gone through this, and found that R.C.E, had an
excess of what they considered to be an adequate number of parking stalls.
He said there were enough stalls provided that could accommodate an even
larger 7-11 operation and still meet the requirement. After some discussion
on how the number of parking stalls was determined, �Zr. Ernst stated that
the actual store was divided up into three basic areas (office, retail and
sales). Chairperson Schnabel asked if the number of parking stal� changed
with each use of the building, or if it was consistent throughout the zoning
area. Mr. Ernst said the zoning determined the parking requirements, and
Mr. Holden added that under the zoning there were requirements for different
uses. Mr. Baxna read the zoning code regarding this, and noted that they
would still require three parking stalls for the storage area. He said that
the warehouse axea obviously didn't need parking spaces, so they could take
that into consideration.
Chairperson Schnabel asked rir. Ernst if he was proposing 1�0 parking stalls,
and he replied that was correct. He explained that in his meetings with

Mr. Boardman and based on the city ordinances, they had determined that 38
parking stalls were needed, and the� were providing forty. Mr. Ernst
said that a 7-11 only used from five to six parking spaces because of the
large turnover of people. �
'� Chairperson Schnabel stated that a consideration on varianee E(to a11ow
off-street parking to be within 5 feet of the front lot line instead of set
back tne required 20 feet) would be to eliminate two parking stalls because
, they were not needed. She pointed out where that would add 20', since
each of the stalls was approximately 10' in width, and pointed out that
green area would be gained on the corner.
Chairperson Schnabel said another thing she was concerned about was that
7-11 a.ppeared to have changed its policies over the past number of yeaxs
and now appeared to be open 2!� hours a day. She said she couldn't speak
for the adjacent neighbors, but she was concerned about lighting in terms
of this place being open 2!� hours a day. NIr. Ernst said tnat lighting
would be directed away from the neighbors across the street and would be
well-planned with berming, etc. He said he didn't irnow what their policies
would be concerning being open 2l� hours a day� but that would probably be
determined after a certain period of time. 2�Zr. Holden asked if it would
be possible to berm the Alorth edge of the property so the headlights would
get above 20', and T�Ir. Ernst said that was possible.
Chairperson Schnabel said another thing she would like to check on was
the back of the propert�r line, and asked if they intended to put in any
kind of fencing. i•1r. Ernst said that had been suggested by i�ir. Boardman,
and showed on the plan how it would extend across the back. He added
that the tenants of the apartment buildings would appreciate that� and
said there wouldn't be any storage or machinery in the back of the building.
Chairperson Schnabel asked if the other shops besides 7-11 would have back-
door entrances, and I�1r. Ernst replied they would. She said it was for that
reason that fencing would be appreciated.
Chairperson Schnabel said that in 1975 one of the stipulations had been
that the applicant petition for rezoning from C-2S to C-1 with the under-
standing there would be no problems in achieving that rezoning. She said
she thought the intent was to focus a little closer on the type of tenants
that would go into tr.at building, as C-1 requirements were a little more
stringent. She said it was not the Appeal.s Commission's prerogative to
initiate any zoning change, but it might come up at the City Council level
and she thought I�Ir. �nst should be aware of that.
Chairperson Schnabel asked what the exterior of the building would be,
and rir. Ernst replied it would be brick a11 the way around with a shitagled
mansard all the way around the building and a deck roof.
Chairperson Schnabel asked if they intended to channel the entrance off of
East River Road so it would be an entrance only and not an exit, and P�r.
E�nst replied they did. He said that would be done with curbing and they
would talk to the highw�y department about that, and he also thought a sign
would be desirable.
2 Q(�
Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting - l�iarch 15, 1977 Page 11
Mr. Holden asked if it would be pos�ible for Scuth-bound traffic to turn left
into that entrance, and Mrs. Schnabel replied no, not if they put some type
type of curbing in there. NIr. Kemper suggested a"No Left �.irn" sign the�e.
Mr. Holden com�nented that he didn't think that was sornething they could
control right now, and Chairperson Schnabel said it was something they could
control if they eliminated access off of East River Road. Mr. Kemper asked
if it would be possible to eliminate that entrance until such time as the
corner i.mprovement on 79th and East Piver Road occurred� and then take
another look at that entrance.
Mr. Ernst said that the way.it stood now, there wasntt a right-hand turn
lane� and they would be constructing that themselves. He said what they
were concerned about was some driver who wanted to go against the grain�
and from their standpoint they would like to have that possibility eliminated.
Mrs. Gabel noted that the highway at that point was not divided� and r�2r.
Barna said that was correct. 1•Ir. Ernst pointed out the intersection to
the South of them where people t•rere making left-hand turns entering the
apartments, and he thought the incentive would be greater to get into
the apartments than to go to the store. I�1r. Barna pointed out that the
people who were doing that were doing so illegally� and complaints had been
made. Mr. Ernst said that if access on East River Road was closed until
the proposed improvement was made, that would generate more traffic on 79th
and that could cause problems a1so.
Mr. Barna said that his concern was that the intersection change that had
been described to him by someone from the High�ray Department was a flip-flop
from the one at Mississippi; it would be widened on the East side, not the
West. There followed a discussion on thP easements, and the possibility
of the Cit�� condemning a larger portion than the easement for the new
intersection. :•Ir. Holden said he thought the county and Highway Department
could possibly settle this. I�Ir. Err.st commented that ne thought his
proposed plan i•ras possibly the most lirr�iting of all access plans. 2ir.
Holden sta�;ed that the City Council had been rather descript as to titirhat
that turn lane would incorporate, ar_d it aa-�ounted to the developer would
really be picking up some of the tab for putting in the curbing and additional
blacktop. Mr. Ernst stated that their tentative plans aL this stage were
based on the easenients the City had taken.
Chairperson Scnnabel said that according to what she had been able to
research, the last time there had been any correspondence concerning the
signalization on 79th was June 16, 1975; it appeared there hadn't been
anything since then. I�1rs. Schnabel said that evidently� some of the City
Council recommendations of 1975 incorporated the recommendations of the
Appeals Commission as z•�ell as the Building Standards-Design Control Sub-
committee that z,ras in effect at that time. She said that according to the
minutes she had of the City Council Meeting, there was a motion to approve
the variances with stipulations by the Board of Appeals and the Suilding
Standards-Design Control Subcommittee, and the additional stipulation that
there be no access onto East River Road, that an easement be dedicated on
East River Road for right of way, and that the applicant will petition
for zoning change from C-25 to C-1 and that there will be no contest on
this zoning change in the future. That motion had caxried unanimously�
2 RR
Fridley Appeals Commission rieeting - March 15� 1977 Page 12
and was contained in the minutes of the Council meeting of June 16, 1975•
Mr. flolden noted there �fras a conflict in Vrhat the minutes said and the list
of stipulations that had come out later (i3/5/75), and Mxs. Gabel suggested
that perhaps a change had been made by the Council at a later date.
Mrs. Schnabel stated that on July 1l�, 1975 rir. Warren Caldwell, who was the
owner of the property, stated in a letter to P�1r. Quershi: "It is our under-
standing that additional demands will be made by the Council in order to
possibly obtain ingress and egress from East River Road. This has to do
with installation of accelleration and decelleration lanes along East River
Road. ti1e are in agreement to rezoning only if we can obtain direct access
from East River Road� and we would be agreeable to right-turn traffic only
in exit to East River Road. It is our understanding that this could possibly
be worked out. On the assuraption that Pieridian Corporation will purchase
our site, we are petitionino for rezoning on behalf of i-leridian Corporatzon,
based on the previously sub:�itted plot plans� and only if ingress and egress
along East River Road is granted by the Council. This site would have little
value with no access along East River Road". Chairperson Schnabel noted
that if what she had read vras correct, they had agreed to rezone only if
they could have access to East River Road.
Chairperson Schnabel said there was another letter from the President of
the rleridian Corporation to P�Ir. Caldwell which read: "...this will confirm
that the parties we have been negotiating with relative to the East River
Road site (that is 7-11 and others) have expressed their disinterest in the
site without direct access from East River Roaa. Their experience, they
indicate, dictates avaidance of such a site as it has a tendency to dis-
courage shoppers by indirect access. If the entire high�aay had limited
access to a11 frontage, the shopper reaction would be different, but where
applied on an individual basis, they believe i� psychologicall�T detrimental.
Based on the above experience of extremely successful national retailers
such as 7-11 Food Stores and others, t�re would not be interested in exercising
our option to purchase the oroperty. �de believe the site is nat marketahle
without access from East River �,oad, especially with a long frontage of 31�1
feet".
Mrs. Schnabel said that may be what prompted the City Council to reassess
the proposal and a11ow an ingress only. She noted the list of stipulations
was dated August �� 197�, and the other documents were dated June and July.
Chairperson Schnabel stated this had taken quite a bit of time, but it was
important to understand that if an access was to be allowed on East River
Road (and the letters had indicated that would be a requirement of the
major tenants of the building), then she thought they should be very careful
that that continue to be an ingress only and hope the design of it would
discourage egress and discourage a person travelling South on East
River Road from attempting to make an entrance there for purposes of safety.
Mr. Holden commented that normally that wouldn't be much of a problem� but
with that intersection so close it could really back up cars.
Chairperson Schnabel said she thnught they could draw the Council's attention
to the fact that the last correspondence with the county on the situation
2 SS
Fridley Appeals Commission t•ieeting - Maxch 15, 1977 Page 13
at that corner of 79th and East River Road appeaxed to be June 16, 1975� and
they could reaffirr,i their interest in seeing that intersection takslcare of
as quickly as possible.
Mr. Barna asked 2�ir. L�nst if he would consider rezoning to C-1� and Mr.
Ernst replied he didn't think he would consider it. He said they wanted
to keep the buil.ding as a 7-11 store and preferrably office space, but
he dicin't know what would happen thirty or forty years from now. He said
he didn't want to restrict the property any more than it was right now� and
he thought the cha.nces of the building being used for undesirable operations
were not great. 1•ss. Gabel explained they were thinking more in terms that
they didn't want it to go to a heavier type of use tha� wouldn't be permitted
in a C-1 zone. I�7r. Kemper told Mr. Ernst he thought he should bear in mind
that the City Council might insist it go to C-l. Mr. Ernst then said he
would be willing to cooperate on that, a.nd didn't see any probler�.
Mr. Kemper stated that he was inclined not to approve the entrance off of
East River Road because of the very dangerous intersection. He said he
had no objections to the building going in, but he ti�ras very concerned about
opening up an entrance off of East River Road until such time that entrance
from �outh-bound traffic into that parking lot could be somehow restricted.
P1Ir. EY�nst suggested a protruding island that would restrict traf�ic, and
NLrs. Schnabel said that would have to be worked out with the county.
Mr. Kemper said that he thought an entrance off of East River Road into this
� paxking lot was a sensible thing if sout:-bound traf'fic could be controlled.
He added that one oi the reasons this Board t��as here i�ras to analyze �rhy
the ordinances were there, a.nd safe�y was of para.mount importance. He stated
� ihat without that control, he thought they would be creati.ng a trafiic hazard.
Mr. Kemper said he would be disposed to not approve the variance with that
in mind, but would put a condition on that--that the entrance could be
prepared and coul.d be opened up at a later date. He said his sti�ulation
� would be that no ingress or egress irom �,ast River poad be alloi�red until
such time as south-bound traffic t�ras restricted from entering; but the City
Gouncil mi�ht come to a different conclusion.
Chairperson Schnabel said that at this point there were probably no objections
to any oi the other requests with the possible exception of 'rE'r (to allow
off street parking to be within 5 feet of the front lot line instead of
set back the required 20 feet). Nir. Ernst said he had no objection to
eliminating the two parking stalls. He said he would like to start construction
this spring and com�lete it 60 days afterwards.
The Commi.ssion then went through the stipulations recommended by Council
on the original proposal, and decided if they could be handled by Staff�
were obsolete, or should continue to be a recorunendation.
2�Srs. Gabel asked what the sign would be �hat was noted on the plans, and Mr.
Ernst said that 7-11 liked to have their own sign but they have considered
multiple-use signs. He stated that he reallv couldn't say exactly what it
would be at this point, but thought it would ccncur with all the ordinances.
Chairperson Schnabel explained it had been brought up because the sign
2 TT
Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting - March 15� 1977 Page 1.l.t
ordinance was in the process of bei.ng rewritten. t�ir. Fsnst said he would
cooperate with the City on that� and P•Sr. 'riolden rnentioned the sign might
have to be moved a little bit South.
MOTION by Barna, seconded by Gabel, to close the Public Hearing. Upon a
voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairperson Schnabel said that she had not come across any correspondence
from any person in the area stating objections, and it appeared that the
property owners were not concerned at this point i,rith this construction.
Mr. Baxna said he had one corimunication from P�7r. Larry P•:iller who lived
right across the street from the proposed structure, and ?ir. I�iiller had
felt it wouldn't do any good -to complain. :�tr. Barna said that r•4r. :�Liller
would prefer a four-plex, or something of that nature on that property.
Mr. Barna stated that one of his other concerns ti�ras that in ten years it
would be one more vac2.nt business sitting on the side of East River Road.
He said that he personally had no objections to a store being there, and
he had spoken to the owner of the Fridley Food i�iarket and they had no
objections and didn't feel it would hurt their bus�ness at all. He said
his main objection would be to any new entrance or exit on East River Road�
and the additional traffic it would generate crossing the River Road bothered
him extremely.
Mrs. Schnabel asked if the school bus stopped at the intersection of East
River Road and 79th Z�Jay, and T�Ir. Barna said it stopped furtner do�m. He
said they had stopped there at one tir�e, but there t,rere too many near-accidents.
A4r. Kemper asked if they discharged children that had to cross East River
Road, and P•4rs. Gabel said they did.
Mrs. Gabel said that besides the problem of controlling
thought it was also part of their responsibility to the

' Chairperson Schnabel stated that without the real property owner at the meeting
it would be hard to determine if he had ever had a buyer who was interested
in putting any multiple dwelling on the property. She added, however, that
its present 2oning might discourage someone from wanting to buy that property
� for anything other than a corunercial structure of some type. She said it
had been zoned for 16+ years as commercial.
', Mr. Barna said that one other concern he had was the statement in the letter
from the 7-11 people that they would not consider building there if they
couldn't have an entry off of East River Road; maybe that was the reason
I the other variances were allowed to expire. Mr. Ernst said he didn�t have
the specifics involved in that.

MOTION by Kemper that the Appeals Commission recommend to the City Council�
through the Planning Commission� that all the variances be approved with
the exception of "L", with ihe strong recornmendation to Council that no
entrances or exits be allorred at this time oif of East River Road until
such time that south-bound traffic could be controlled via the upgrading
of 79th and East River Road. In addition to the above recommendation, the
Appeals Commission would recommend the following stipulations:
l. Berming to be of sufficient height to protect the residents from
automobile lighting and buffer plantings incorporated with berm.
2. Lighting focused down so as not �o shine into the residential
property owner's windows.
3. Refuse area should have solid screen, no gate opening onto the
service drive, the portion not being used for refuse storage and
handling to be used for plantings.

5.
Sidewalk connection constructed to Lincoln Street.
Recommend City Council consider rezoning from C-25 to C-1.
6. A bond� covering the costs of all stipulated improvements, will
be required. In addition, all necessary and proper right of ways�
easements and letters of encroachrnent should be submitted and
recorded prior to the issuance of any building permits.
The motion died for lack of a second.
Mr. Barna disagreed �itn the motion on the grounds that as a resident along
East River Road, he could r.ot personally see any additional construction
or i.ncrease in traffic flow on East River Road in its present condition.
He added that he would not er�courage anyone to invest money on East River
Road with the present East River Road Project Committee's recomrlendations
on future uses of East River Road. He said he would feel more comfortable
denying the request.
Mr. Ernst said that as far as the success of the neighborhood shopping
center went, 7-11 had done extensive studies and housing counts and projections
as to the possibility of their success and had positive results as far as
their projecting the net income in the area. He added that they had been
successful in the past in projecting maxket areas. As far as R.C.E. is
concerned, he continued, they felt confident they would do well in the area
and would like io go ahead k*ith this on that basis. He said that he didn't
think the possibility was very great that the property would be up for sale
in the future.
Mrs. Gabel stated that she had an internal battle with this. She could
live with it, she said, but it wasn't something she really wanted to see
there. She said she knew people who lived in the area and they felt very
strongly about their neighborhoods and anything that would generate one
more car driving down East River Road. She commented that she was having
a lot of trouble with this.

Mr. Holden wondered why there hadn't been any objections to the plan, and
thought one reason cou]_d be because a similar plan had already gone through
this procedure and been approved. Also� he said, there was the possibility
that they did not object to it. He stated that having a retail grocery
store, which was the prir�ary structure, within walking distance may not be
a problem. rir. Kemper added that he was thinking that the people who lived
in the apartment buildings would have fewer blocks to go to do their shopping.
Mrs. Gabel stated it would be easier for her to vote in favor of the
proposal if it was rezoned C-l. She said that this was a speculative
venture; the 7-ll may be a sure thing, but they couldn't control the other
uses that might go in there. Mrs. Gabe1 continued that in a C-2S there
was a large variety allowed, and read that portion of the code aloud �;o .
the Commission. Chairperson Scnraahel said that many of thcse uses were
also allowed in a C-1 zone, and she didn't know what was the right usage
for that corner.
Mr. Kemper wondered how the City could have a�proved this two years ago.
, He said that the Council had approved it� and if r7eridian had elected to
go through with the plans, there would be a building there at this time.
Mr. Holden cornMent�d that he di.dn't think it was within their right or
� jurisdiction to second guess the success or failure of a business. He
said this operation would be close to an awful lot of people, even by way
of �'oot traffic.
Mr. Barna stated he had good friends who itiTere hurt in accidents involving
East River Road, and if it was up to him he wouldn't have any businesses
in there with ingress or egress aff of East River Road. He said he knew
a lot of people down there, and he knew someone would get blasted at that
corner sooner or later. Ghairperson Schnabel asked if that intersection
had sign�.lization if he would be more inclined to go along with this� and
rir. Barna replied he would.
Mr. Kemper stated that he thought their problem wasn't with R.C.E. Corpora-
tion or the 7-11 Corporation, but with a notoriously bad highway. He said
that if by denying this variance they could somehow speed up the improve-
ment on 79th and East River Road, he would malce that motion right now� but
he didn't think that would make a bit of difference.
Chairperson Schnabel said that for r1r. Ernst�s infarmation, there had been
a study group looking for some time at East River Road in Fridley, and the
group was composed mainly of residents along both sides of East River Road.
She explained the committee was formed because most of those residents were
very concerned about the speed, the amount of traffic, and the number of
accidents along East River Road. She told rir. Ernst that they had made
recommendations to the Planning Commission and the City Council to try to
make some changes on East River Road in terms of traffic flow; they had
proposed a plan where the two-lane would continue from South of riississippi
to 691t with right and left turn lanes, etc. She said they had asked for
support of this plan through the City to Anoka County to try to get some-
thing done about their concerns. Mrs. Schnabel said that the plan was not
Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting - March 15, 197? Page 17
successful with the county, but they were still continuing to study the
problem. She stated that in effect, they were told that until the North
Corridor was developed the East River Road would probably continue in the
manner that it functions now, with some upgrading. So, she said, the citizens
along there have had an overriding concern about this roadway for some time,
and it came to focus on the Appeals Commission now in terms of this request.
Chairperson Schnabel explained to Mr. Ernst that they had no problem with
him or his proposal, but their main concern was their responsibility to
the efforts thai had �een done by a number of people in the City in regard
to the traffic problem. She said she had wanted to make him aware of the
histbry of ��hat had happened on East River I�oad.
Mr. Ernst stated that the development Vrouldn't create any new caxs or generate
more traffic; that number of. cars was constant. He said that by taking that
entrance away on the East River Road it would restrict the use of that
property and the 7-11 store, and thereby restrict the owner of the property
as well. He said he understood the 3oard's concerns about the added turning
an.d the congestion that would eause; but based on �rhat had happened up to
now, he thought the plan they had before them concerned itself with those
problems and tried to solve then as �rell as possible.
Chairperson Schnabel stated he had made a good attempt, and thought the
, Board would agree that the store zrou�d probably not generate any more new
traffic. However, she said, she thought the concern was basically with that
paxticular corner from a safety standpoint in terris of traffic south-bound
� on East River Road attempting tc� turn into thaL entrance on East River Road
instead of using 79th. ;�Ir. Kemper agreed that the problem wasn't with more
traffic, but with more cars stopping and starting at an already notoriously
dangerous intersection. He said he ti:as not a traffic engineer or someone
' who could analyze if the business would decline without that entrance, but
he thought if somebody ��ranted to stop there, they would.
� Chairperson Schnabel said they did have
deny, approve, or table the request; but

MOTION by Barna, seconded by Gabel, that the Appeals Commission recommend
to Council, through the Planning Com^�ission, tnat the request for variances
be denied due to the adverse trafiic conditions en the East River Road and
specifically at the intersection of 79th Way and East Niver Road.
Mrs. Gabel stated that when she looked at this as a building plan she had
no problems with it, but when the human aspect was added into it, that was
when her problems began (and that was what the community was made up of).
She said they had a responsibility to the citizens of the community, and
that was her reason for seconding the motion.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, Barna and Gabel voting aye, Kemper and Schnabel voting
nay, the motion tied 2- 2 and failed for lack of a majority.
Chairperson Schnabel wondered if they must arrive at a majority opinion or
could pass this on to the City Council a tie vote.

,�:
Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting - March 15, 1977 Page 18
Chairperson Schnabel declared a recess at 10;30 P.M. and reconvened the
meeting at 10:1�6 P.M.
Mrs. Gabel commented that she thought they had almost talked this thing to
death, and she had to vote the way she believed.
Chairperson Schnabel said that basically, they had to really consider the
various variances that were being requested, and thought perhaps they might
be putting more emphasis on traffic flow than the variances that had been
requested of them. The other thing they had to consider, she stated, was
that there were two more bodies that this would appear before which would
perhaps deal more directly with tra.ffic flow problems as opposed to the
specific variances they were being asked to deal with. She said that their
job was to look at the requests for variances of the zoning ordinance as
they related to the public safety and welfare of the citizens, and perhaps
they had gone further than the zoning ordinance by getting themselves quite
wrapped up in the East River Road traffic situation. She said this was not
to deny there was a problem there, but she thought they might be going
beyond the ordinance.
Mrs. Gabel said she understood what r1rs. Schnabe]_ i•ras saying, but in terms
of looking at the public health, safety a,nd welfare, she thought their
concerns all tied in. Ghairperson Schnabel suggested they might be looking
a little bit further than what this body really dealt with. i�irs. Gabel
stated they had to look at things as how they related to the community and
if they were good for the community. She said she could not ignore that the
situation was there and the problems did exist.
Chairperson Schnabel said that ma�rbe the time to make that type of objection
would be at the City Council; perhaps they were geiting beyond their scope.
She said they were charged basically ;�rith dealing with any variances of a
zoning ordinance, and the traffic on East River Road �,�as not a variance in
the zoning ordinance. She suggested that perhaps the decision on whether
or not any commercial venture should be allowed or� East River Road would
more directly rest with the Community �evelopment Commission or with the
Planning Cor�rnission or City Council. She said the Appeals Comrnission was
charged more specifically with variances to the zoning ordinance instead,
and that was their function. r1r. Kemper said that in order to make those
decisions, ho�•rever, they had to take into consideration the hardships
involved; hardships not only to the person requesting the variance� but the
hardships to the citizens of Fridley as well.
Mrs. Gabel said she wondered if they were not asking themselves to do the
impossible. She said they could sit there until �.:00 in the morning, and
if they a11 felt very strongly on this, they simply would not agree. She
said at some point they would have to pass this on to the Council.
Chairperson Schnabel read to the Commission the duties of the Board of
Appeals from the code book. She said she thought that the decision as to
if anything should be placed on.that property or any other property along'
East River Road may more likely belong in another body than this Commission,
2 �XX
2 1�Y
Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting - March l5� 1977 Page 19
and thaught the Appeals Commission may be simply structured to deal with
variances of the City code.
Mr. Kemper noted that the last paragraph she had read from the charter
said they were charged with the responsibility of safeguarding the public
interest and were told they should apply stipulations to ensure public
safety. He said that franl:ly, he didn't see that either one of the motions
was out of line. Chairperson Schnabel said she wasn't inferring that, but
was trying to make them a11 understand what their charge was as a Commission
and see if they couldn't reach a majority decision.
rir. Kemper said he thought it was not appropriate for them to deny a private
concern a variance for something that was comple�y beyond his control and
something that may go away i.n the foreseeable future. He said he would like
to find an avenue to tiy to work around that particular problem, and that
was what he was tr�,�ing to do in the ori�inal motion he made. He said he
didn't think this body could sit back and say, "No, you can't do it and
you can't do it forever because of the bad traffic situation on East River
Road". He said he though� that was a temporary problem.
Chairperson Schnabel said she also had a problem saying a petitioner should
be denied a request based on a personal feeling ef whether or not that
business was going to succeed. She noted that in the memorandum they had
received from the City Attorney �n economic feasibility and economic
hardship, one of the things they had never done was to request a financial
report fron any petitioner. She sta�ed they never knetis if the petitioner
standing before them had a million dollars in the bank or was:.•rolling his
last nickel around in his pocket; they never knew if a person had the
ability to succeed or rni�ht fail in any venture he had before the Boaxd.
She stated she really didn't feel it was legitimate for them to deny any
petitioner on ihat basis, but there were r�any other reasons why they could
deny a petitioner. She added that she didn't think they should second guess
whether a business t•rould succeed or fail. Tir. Barna said he was not basing
his decision on that. He explained that two years ago he had spoken in
favor of a business on tnat corner, but that iaas before he had gotten
involved in the safety factor.
Chairperson Schnabel suggested that the building could be reduced in size
by about !�0' ,(reducing it from 1l�b' to approximately 106' ), and asked rir.
Baxna if that iaould be more palatable to him at that point. I�Ir. Baxna
said that wouldn't make a viable building, and P�Irs. Schnabel agreed. She
said that probably it wouldn't be economically appealing to him because
the square footage would be reduced.
Mr. iiolden corrunented that he had found subsequent action by the City Council
on August 18, 1975� in which they did discuss and put together the list that
they had before them of the 11� items.
MOTION by Kemper, seconded by Barna, that the Appeals Commission table this
item until they had a full board. Upon a voice vote, Kemper and Barna
voting aye, Schnabel and Gabel voting nay, the motion tied 2- 2 and failed
for lack of a majority.

'' Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting - I�Iaxch 15, 1977 Page 20
'
Chairperson Schnabel said she felt a motion to table at this point would
' require that the missing Board member be brought up to date, and there was
no guarantee that he would be at the next meeting.
Mr. Kernper asked P•?r. Ernst his opinion as to tirhat 7-11 would do if they
' were denied access off of East River Road. I�ir. Ernst replied that it would
� make the site undesirable to them since their business was based on traffic
(either by cars or foot), and it would cut them off from their main artery
� of survival. He said th.ey wouldn't want that property even if it was
possible that at some later date there would be an access o�'of East River
Road, as it would jeopardize the project.
Chairperson Schnabel asked what A7r. Ernst thought.7-11's reaction would
be if the City Council also denied a direct access onto East River Road.
Mr. Ernst replied that they had to look at it in terms of the whole concept,
and if �'ridley would provide that access. As far as 7-11 was concerned,
he said, they felt just an ingress would be enough for them, but they would
like to have egress as well. �
Mrs. Gabel wondered if it would be in order to make a motion that they pass
this on to the City Council as is. She said she didn't see that they were
going to come to any conclusions. TIr. Barna commented that they couldn't
agree on everything all�of the time. �•7r. Kernper said that the minutes
would reflect all of their concerns and would tell their feelings regardless
of which way any motion went.
1+7r. Holden asked �*hat the main objection was to 2�Tr. Kemper's original motion.
Mr. Barna said his main objections were to two safety variances� B and G.
Chairperson Schnabel asked 1�7r. Barna if he would be more inclined to support
the proposal if the petitioner carne in with a new plan that elimi.nated
requests B, E and G and if there was no access from East River Road. P�7r.
Barna replied he �rould not.
ASOTION by Gabel, seconded by Barna, that the Appeals Commission pass on
to Council, through the Planning Commission, their tie vot� without
recommendation.
Chairperson Schnabel said that in view of the fact that they did seem to be
at an impasse and had attempted three motions, it was possibly advisable to
pass this on to Council as it was a.nd let the minu�es explain what had
happened. She said she did feel the necessity to get in contact with the
Chair of the Planning Commission and the Tlayor to discuss what had happened
at this meeting with both of them. She said that if they felt that the
Board of Appeals should come back and try to reach some kind of Majority
opinion, she would notify each of the members of the Commission. She added
that she did feel obligated to at least make those calls so they could be
aware of what had happened.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� Gabel� Barna and Kemper voting �ye� Schnabel voting
nay, the motion carried 3- 1.

3 • OTH�R BUSINF.SS :
Mrs. Schnabel asked if any of the Cormnission members had any specific
questions or comments concerning the memorandum she had received from
the City Attorney. She revie�,aed far them that the two questions she
had been concerned with were economic feasibility an� devaluation of
adjacent property. She said this had been discussed at the Planning
Commission, and she didn't believe they had come to any conclusions on
wh�t it meant. Chairpersor. Schnabel stated that in terms of economic
feasibility, her interpretation was that a person who made a request,
and was himself destitute, could not be considered in terms of economic
hardship. She said his financial resources were not a consideration.
However, she said, in the case pointed out in the memo that concerned
a ten-unit apartment building, the econamic hardship was that the defendant
could not make a go of it financially if he rehabilitated the ten units.
She said they had analyzed it and decided that only if he built a thirty-
unit building would he come out of it well financially.
' Chairperson Schnabel stated that in this case the court determined that
for this petitioner to rehabiliate the ten-unit apartment to bring it into
compliance with the code would cost more than the structure would be worth,
, so under those circumstances it would be better to put up the thirty-unit
building. rlrs. Gabel comrnented that it �ras still a very ambiguous-type
thing. She said that each situation would sti�l have to be analyzed, and
� perhaps they should discour�ge people from saying that economically this
was what they could best afferd.
Chairperson Schnabel said the other point was the consideration of the
' devaluation of adjacent property, and it was determined that was a valid
consideration. I�:rs. Gabel said she agreed with that. She thought they
didn't run into that so much with residential, but referenced the A7 & I
� item, rir. Kemper said that if he had thought that A1 & I v�rould have
deteriorated the neighborhood, he wouldn't have voted for it.
i
�
�
'
� '
'
rir. Barna said that just for the Boaxd's information, the City Council
had tabled the Berkeley Pump item last week and last night, also. He said
Yte had discovered after the meeting was over that Berkeley had changed
their plan. Mrs. Gabel asked why, when a petitioner changed his plans,
he didn't have to come back to Appeals but could go to City Council with an
entirely d�fferent plan. I�1rs. Schnabel said that if they were within the
limitations of the vaxiances that the Appeals Commission granted� they
didn't have to come back.
Mr. Barna said he thought it had been tabled because it was across the
street from a parlc, and even thou�h they had created an industrial area
and an industrial road (Ashton), they didn't want an industrial structure
less than 100' away from a R-1 zoning across the way. Afrs. Gabel said she
thought some of the council people felt this was becoming too heavy of a
use for that area, and they tabled it in order to work something out.
Chairperson Schnabel pointed out that the change in the plans had been noted
at the previous Appeals Commission meeting� and showed Mr. Barna where it was
2 AAA
iii

contained in the minutes.
Mr. Kemper said he would recorunend that Staff be very diligent and be
aware of any plan changes that could alter the course of their discussions,
and if they found any, they should be brought back for the Appeals Commission
to tal:e anotner look at. �ie asked that these concerns be brought to the
attention of PIr. Sobiech and 2�Ir. Boardman.
ADJOUPI.�SFP1T : .
Ni0TI0N by Kemper, seconded by Barna, that the Appeals Commission adjourn
at 11:55 P.N;. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion caxried
unanimously.

As we discussed, the City is planning to use these funds for
a recreation person and a clerk typist in the Police Department,
and your information aras that this would be ar� appropriate use.
Also, there was a question of ���hether vre have to commit and
allocate these funds vrithin the six months from'when vre receive
these funds, or do ��ae hav� to actually spend these funds within
the six months, and a�hat is the total length of time v�hen we have
to have these funcl expended?
Please see if you can check further if need be and give.me your
comments.
Thank you for your assistance.

T0: NASIM P�(. QURESHI , CITY ��1AI�AGER
In ans�,�er to your memo of �1arch 2�, the use of the Anti-Recession Revenue Snarii�g
Funds for a recreation person and a clerk-typist in the Poliee Department would be
thn correct use of the funds. The funcls must be appropriated or budgeted witi�in
six months of the date of receipt of the i�;�nds. The funds must actually be
spent duringtne current fiscai year (1°77).
Please see the attac}��ed regulations, Section 52.40, regarding permissible
expenditures. TV�e purpose of the program is to employ people. If it is necessary
to buy incidential unifol7ns, supplies, etc. , in order to employee additional
people, then it is pei�nissible to buy sucl� su�plies, materials, etc.
I do not believe the la�v intends tf�at funds should be spent to buy supplies and
materials that are not related to the en�ployme��t of the addi tional people.

MEMORANDUM
T0: NASIM M. QURESHI, CITY P9ANAGER, AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, ASST. CITY f�1GR./FIN. DIR.
SUBJECT: $1,115,000 PERMANENT BOND ISSUE
DATE: MARCN 31, 1977
Attached is the information and documentation relating to a proposed
$1,115,000 Permanent Bond Issue. The bond issue would be used partly
to refinance temporary special assessment bonds now outstanding, and
in part to finance the 1977 Street Program.
F This proposed bond issue is somewhat of a departure f rom the practice
� of the past few years, in that it contains the proposed financing in
the amount of $451,000 f or the 1977 Street Program. The project is
just getting under way.
It is Mr. Ehlers' recommendation �hat the City issue the bonds at this
time, because of the favorable interest rates, and the uncertainty of
inte rest rates in the future.
The documentati on attached hereto i s as fol l rnvs :
� 1. Letter from Mr. Robert Ehlers io the City Manager c�iving
the purpose and background of the bond issue.
2. A Resolution Providing for the Issuance and Sale of
� $1,115,000 Special Assessment Fund Bonds. This resolution
should be adopted if the Council concurs in the issuance
of the bond issue.
3. A policy statement from Moody's Investors Service, Inc.
relating to the rating services provided by their firm.
4. The agreem�nt form which should be executed for the purpose
of asking for a bond rating on the proposed bond issue.
5. A copy of the agreement wi th Ehlers and Associ ates i n
connection with the sale of this bond issue.

Dear Mr. Qureshi:
Pursuant to our conversation, we have reanalyzed the financing requirements
� of the City's special assessment funds for replacement of the Temporary
Improvement Bonds issued to the City's own Improvement Sinking Fund.
From the numbers discussed, the financing would be as follows:
Projects: special assessments outstanding
1975 Street*
1976 Street*
WS tdo. 117*
41S No. 119X
Su�total
1977 Street Program**
Amount to be financed
Plus discount allowance

� 643,000
451,000
$1,094,000
21,000
�1,115,000
*Assessed in the fall of 1976 over 10 years at 7.5I.
**Assumed to be assessed in the fall of 1978 for ten years at 7.5%.
The most important thing to consider now is whether to sell bonds in early
1977 or wait until another year has passed and the City has perhaps
assessed other projects and received prepayments.
We see very little chance for a reduction of interest rates and considerable
chance for increased rates. 4dhile the municipal and industrial borro��ings
are moderate and are expected to continue moderate, the federal government
is expected to have another huge deficit (S60 to $80 billion) �vhich must be
borrowed. To the extent it is monetized, e.g. borrowed from the Federal
Reserve Bank, it �vill be perceived to be inflationary t��hich, by traditional
economics, u�rould cause interest rates to rise. To the extent it is borrowed
externa1ly, it �vill swell demand for funds �rhich should cause higher borra�ing
�
costs -- higher interest rates.
�

Fridley, Minnesota 55432

4Jith those kinds of chances, we recommend that long-term borrowing bQ carried
� out now. As you know, the money replaced in your bond redemption fur�ds can
be invesied to cover, or maybe more than cover, the interest on the definitive
bonds.
At the present time, there is a shortage of tax-exempt bond offerings and we
think the City ti�rill receive strong bids. �
I�e have prepared Exhibit 1.00, showing a bond issue structured to fit antici-
pated flo�v of special assessments. The Council should consider a resolution
calling for the sale of $1,115,OUO Improvement Bonds to be held on or about
t�ay 16. A capy of a suggested reso7ution is attached.
Ttivo ancillary actions are required:
(1) The Council should direct the City Manager to apply to Moody's
Investors Service for a raiing on the bonds; estimated cost $650
(for�+ attached).
(2) The City Council should re-employ Ehlers and Associates, Inc. to
handle the bond issue (employment proposal attached).
If you have any further questions, please call.
Very truly yours,
EHLE S , I�iC.
