OLO 6USINESS: ORDINANCE N0. 690 TO AMEND CHAPTER 71 OF TNE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF FRIOLEY: Mr. Brunsell, City Clerk, stated the fees haven't�been�raised for three '�. � years and it is expected they wouldn't be raised again for several more � years. He stated, taking all of the increases into account, the percent- a9e of increase would be in the area of.9 1/2%. � Mr. Brunsell stated the average or total amount of additional revenue that would be raised is about 6%, excluding tbe proposed�fee raises in 54 REGULAR MEETLNG OF FEBRUARY 5, 1979 . PAGE 2 . the 6uilding areas. Mayror Nee questioned what would be involved in holding the increases to �' 7% and 6ringin9 the matter back next year. Mr. Brunsell stated it would then be necessary to reduce the fees in the 6uilding area such as lot splits, variances, etc., since all other license increases are less than 7%. Mr. Brunsell felt the justification for the increase is that it has been three years since the fees were raised, and since the raise wvers a period I� of years, didn't think there is a problem in regard to the presidential ' guidelines. � Mr. Richard Harris, Chairnian of the Planning Comnission, stated he and Yirginia Schnabel met with Mr. Brunsell regarding the proposed raises in the license fees and stated they had a particular concern in the areas that dealt with R-1 covering lot splits, variances, special use permits, etc. Mr. Harris stated his objection wasn't to the actual costs incurred by the City to administer these�particular applications, but he was concerned with the "toading" of Council time, overhead, etc. which was included in figuring the costs. He stated he didn't feel the Council's or City Manager's time should be included as part of the cost. Mr. Harris stating, in meeting with Mr. Brunsell, they came up with some figures, especially in the R-1 areas, they felt could appropriately be used. Mr. Harris stated the Commission's concern was also with compliance with the ordinance, since they felt if the fees were too high, residents�may not comply with the ordinance. He felt there should be a different fee for cortmercial and industrial property variances as opposed to variances for residential property, since he felt processing the residential variances didn't involve as much time as for commerciat or industrial properties. Mayor Nee stated on program based 6udgeting, the Council's time has to be charged somewhere. Mr. Harris felt this should be looked at as part of the cost of the business of government. M�yor Nee stated he felt Mr. Peterson's point was well taken in reference to the presidential guidelines. However, on the other hand, he pointed out the City is charging participants in the athletic programs which hadn't been done before and it is to cope with the financial pinch and charge for services where they are provided. . Mr. Harris stated he felt possibly in the areas of townhouse development and ptatting, the fees were on the "light" side. He felt it was very difficult to come up with an exact figure since every case is different and takes a different amrount of time. He suggested it may be better to charge the cost, after processing the application. . Mr. Nerrick, City Attorney, stated in his experience in representing clients before other municipalities, he felt the City of Fridley has been lenient in the services particularly to persons that are developing property. He stated some of his clients have received bills from other municipatities for engineering services and attorney's work and probably billed for some of the regular staff time. He felt Fridley hasn't done that on any projects, and in some respects, the City has been pretty lenient. Mr. Harris stated he agreed that some of the fees were "light". Councilwoman Moses asked Mr. Harris if he was proposing they look at the . . whole system and revise it. Mr. Harris stated he is primarily concerned ' in the areas of variances, lot splits and other related planning areas. Mr. Brunsetl felt if the fees were col7ected, after processing of the application, and if, for instance, a variance or special use permit isn't approved, it might be a probiem to collect the fees. Mr. Brunsell pointed out, if the new fee scheduled is adopted as recortmended, � the total increase vrould be less than $4,000. l ; l . � i ' JJ REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 5, 1979 PAGE 3 Mayor Nee stated he couldn't cite the fact that there haven't been any increases for the last �three years as justification to raise it more than 7%. Councilwoman Moses pointed out that retail stores mark up their goods more than 7ro and some of the increases are staggering. She felt this was the same type of situation here. Councilman Schneider stated, if some of the raises in the fees were staggered, as he understands it, the guidelines woutd 6e met. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated if the City is issuing licenses at a fee that doesn't cover fhe cost, he felt the 7% isn't the only viewpoint to consider. Councilman Schneider stated he agrees that the 7% guideline is something that should be observed, but not sure it is applicable to this situation since the fees are not raised every year. He also felt the recommendation made for the R-1 properties is justified. Mr. Harris stated he felt the recommendations made for R-1 would cover the City's cost for processing the applications. If they raised the fee only 7% on lot splits, however, the City would actually be losing-money. He stated it has been his feeling and that of the Commission that they would like the fees to actually cover the incurred expenses. Councilman Fitzpatrick felt Mr. Harris' and Ms. Schnabel's point was that they weren't questioning the rationale, but questioning really if that was the actual cost for processing the applications. � � MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to waive the second reading of Ordinance No. 690 and adopt it on the second reading and pu6lish with the following changes: (i) A charge of $75 for lot splits, rather than $100; (2) The charge for variance on R-1 property reniain at $50; and (3) The charge for variances on all other property be ^y80.

Mr. So6iech, Public Works Director, stated the Security Ordinance would cover items regarding suggested materials and installation to help in home security. � He stated the indication from the Criminal Apprehension Bureau is�that there wouldn't be any liability on the City's part. � Mr. Sobiech stated the security code is currently being added to and revised with Section 206 of the Building Code so that it would be.coming before the . Council for their consideration. Mr. Sobiech stated the security code would be another plan review, like the sign code, and the building inspector would review plans to see that certain security measures are met. New home owners would be required to install materials in the new home to improve the security. He stated cost figures show this would amount to about $93 for a single family residence. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated this Security Ordinance is now in the State Code, but is not mandatory. - Councilman Schneiderstated his objection is to the word "ensure" on the first line under the paragraph "Security Ordinance". . � �� �_ , REGULAR MEETING OF PEBRUARY 5, 1979 .

Nerrick, City Attorney, in referring to Section 4, Subdivision 1, sugyested, �( �� if the City is tBinking of having an agency in charge, that their powers be re-. , i,� viewed and a determination made if the Council wants to.get involved in all•of � the aspects. He felt if it wasn't the City's intent to exercise these options, '.. he wasn't exactly sure why Section 4, Subdivision 1 was included since it was , probably superfluous. J� Mr�. Brunsell, City Clerk, stated it is not contemplated that the HRA would be involved as the City would have a disbursing agent which would have some functions. Mr. Nerrick requested that he have the opportunity to review this material be- fore it is sent to the Legislature.

RECEIVING REPORT FROM NSP REGAR�ING PROPOSED INSTALLATION OF 115 KV TRANS- � MISSION LINE: � Representatives from Northern States Power, Mr. Chmiel, Mr. Madsen and Mr. Johnson, were present regarding their proposal for installation of a 115 KV transmission line. � i + �..___-_______.. i i f� � REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 5, 1979 PAGE 8� Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, stated NSP proposes to utilize the right- of-way of 8urlington Northern railroad for the transmission line�and the power poles�witl be installed parallel with and westerly of the existing 345 KV trans- mission line power poles in the railroad right-of-way. Mr. Sobiech stated the line will begin in-Coon Rapids and proceed into Fridley along the Burlington Northern right-of-way. He stated Coon Rapids has reviewed this proposal and given approval for installation of the transmission line. Mr. Sobiech stated overhang easements may be involved where the line may en- croach on air�rights and these easements would have to be obtained by Northern States Power. Mr. Sobiech presented drawings of the proposed structures and indicated there would be removal of certain existing lines with installation of the proposed line. Mr. So6iech stated that the staff felt this would be an improvement � along TH 65 and a downgrading of existing transmission poles in other areas. Mr. Chmiel, representing NSP, stated the main purpose for the transmission tine is the�capacity. He stated, with additional load growth in the area and to provide service reliability, they are proposing twice the capacity. Mr. Chimiel stated the total construction cost in the City of Fridley for this line would be about $1,800,OOD�and from this, there would be taxes derived of about $84,000 with the City's portion about $12,000 per year. Councilwoman Moses asked if the capacity they have now doesn't service the -existing homes. Mr. Chmiel stated the additional capacity would service a larger area and felt the line is needed to provide the service projected for the 1980's. . . Councilman Schneider questioned why this necessitates building new towers as opposed to adding additional lines. Mr. Chmiel stated the existing structures they have now could not facilitate the capacity proposed for this line. Councilwoman Moses questioned if they couldn't eliminate the existing structures. Mr. Chmiel stated the 345 is the "heartbeat" of the center to carry loads to make the step down to 750 KV. Ne pointed out that you can't interchange the - 345 to 115. In order to accommodate the 715, you would have to devise a struc- ture for this. - � Councilman Schneider questioned if they could attach 345 structures to a mod- � ified structure and then remove the existing structures. Mr. Chmiel stated they wanted to have a�double circuit into the sub-station. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he understands some private home owners would�be involved and easements would have to be obtained. Mr. Chmiel stated they are planning to lo�cate the structures themselves directly on railroad right-of-way and if there tre any overhead intrusions, they would have to obtain permission from those particular property owners. He stated the wires themselves will not hang over the private property, but the easement would 6e needed for the sway of the line in case of wind. Councilman Fitzpatrick asked how many structures would be necessary. Mr. Ghmiel stated possibly 14 structures since it is roughly 1>000 feet per span and a total of�three miles in Fridley. Councilman Barnette questioned if there would be compensation to the property owners for the easement. � Mr. Chmiel stated there would be based on the percentage of the fee value of the land.

REGULAR MEETING �F FEBRUARV 5, 1979 PAGE 9 Mr. Sobiech asked if NSP anticipated buying any additionai easement across the Sears property. Mr. Chmiel stated they would need an additional amount of land 65 to 75 feet wide to the south of the existing easement. Mdyor Nee felt a letter of explanation as to why they can't use the existing poles would be tielpful. Mr. Chmiel stated physically the structures are not strong enough to carry the additional load and also the height would be different. Mayor Nee questi�oned if they received complaints on radio interference with these lines. Mr. Chmiel stated they have received very few complaints and if it is reported, they would take care of the matter. He stated in Brooklyn Center they had the same type of structure and didn't receive any complaints regarding inter- ference. Mr. Sobiech stated a review of the Charter and City Ordinances indicate there is not specific procedure involving Council approval other than.the standard administrative permit approval process. hH1TI0N by Councilman Barnette to receive the report from Northern States Power. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, suggested a paragraph be added to this resolution to indicate that the speed limit existing on TH 47 from Mississippi Street to the south Fridley city limits is 45 MPH. �i 1' MOTION by Councilman Barnette to adopt Resolution No. 16-7979, with the ,! addition of the following, before the last paragraph: "WHEREAS, the speed �� limit existing on TN 47 from Mississippi Street�to the south fridley city I limits is 45 MPH;". Seconded by Councitman Schneider. � Councilwoman Moses indicated she didn't know if the 45 MRH speed limit is warranted past 69th Avenue. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the Highway Department does have certain standards they follow in determining the speed 7imits and they would be ad- vising what they felt should be the speed limit for the area. Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, stated this item came up in discussions regarding signalization at TH 47 and 69th Aver�ue. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. RESOLUTION N0. 77-1979 TO AGYERTISE FOR BIDS - MUNICIPAL GARAGE EXPANSION; Mr. Sobiech, Pubtic Works Director, stated the City had previously advertised for bids for expansion of the municipal garage, however, they were in excess of the estimates. He stated there still is a need for more space and felt possibly the costs could be cut by revising the plans to delete certain items. He stated these items are shown on Page 136 of the agenda book and perhaps these could be done by City personnel. Mr. Sobiech stated he felt the timing is proper and again would like author- ization to advertise for bids. Councilman Schneider asked if there were monies in the 1979 budget for the expansion. � -- -- _, £� I �1 PAGE 10 REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 5, 1979 Mr. Sobiech stated not in the 1979 budget, but there would be monies from the 1978 6udget. , MOTION by Councilman Barnette to adopt Resolution No. 17-1979• Seconded 6y Counciiman Fitzpatrick.

ADMINISTRATION OF OATH QF OFFICE TO ELECTE� OFfICIAL• Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the City received this evening a judgTent, signed by Jutlge Robert Bakke of the Anoka District Court, who was the presiding judge that handled�the election contest, to determine the winner of the Council seat in the First Ward. He stated the judgment is Jutlge Bakke's determination as to the recount proceedings. Mr. Herrick stated that Judge Bakke indicates in the judgment that Cheryl Moses received 1,713 votes and Ed Hamernik received 7,710 votes. Judge Bakke concludes that Cheryl Moses is declared the winner of this election and the City Clerk should issue her a certificate of election. Mr. Herrick stated it is his opinion that the judgment is in force and in effect at the time the jud9e signed it this afternoon. He stated he believed the City Clerk should issue the certificate of election to Cheryl Moses and she should be sworn in as Council representative of Ward I. Mr. 6runse7l, City Clerk, administered the oath of office to Cheryl Moses. Ms. Moses stated she �ias happy to 6e here and that it was a long and ex- pensive two anG�a hatf months.

OPEN FORUM, VISITDRS: There was no response from the audience under this item of business. OLD BUSINESS: MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the second reading of this ordinance and adopt it on the second reading and publish. Seconded by Councilman Barnette. . Ms. Schnabel, Chairman of the Appeals Comnission, questioned some of the fees that are being proposed. She stated she was particularly interested in the variance fee, as well as some of the other fees. She questioned how the fees were determined. Mr. Brunsell, City Clerk, stated a survey or study was made taking into consideration the time spent by the various departments that worked on a particular license. He stated, in the case of the variance fee, it is pri- �marily the planning and engineering staff. He stated their hourly rate was taken and a factor for overhead was added. Ne stated the variance fee is�� probably one of the most difficult ones to strike an average because the amount of time does differ from one variance to another. Ms. Schnabel felt the increase from $50 to $80 was too high, when a variance request is very minimal. She stated she fully understood the amount of paperviork involved, but felt, in some ways, these fees are being established to make up the salaries of the employees. She didn't feel a department of the City qovernment should.be expected to make up their wages in the fees charged by this particular department. Ms. Schnabel stated, in the case of the lot�split, where the fee would be increased from $30 to $IOD, that perhaps the $30 was too low, but felt $100 was too high. Mr. Brunsell stated they did not attempt to make the department working on these particular requests to be self-supporting by the fees. Mr. Harris, Chairman of the Planning Commission, questioned how the City arrived at the variance fee schedule, and what the City is charging as an hourly rate. IAr. Harris stated he has difficulty with the amounts, since the lot split fee would be $100, and wondered if there was an overloading of overhead in this fee. � . Mr. Harris felt the increased fees for lot splits> variances.and vacations would probably start working a hardship on the residential applicants. Mr. Narris stated his point is that the City isn't supposed to be making money on the permits a�d fees. . Mayor Nee stated if the City doesn't charge the true cost for these services, then the general taxpayer is subsidizin9�it. He stated it is not the intent . . _ _ _ _ _ _ ___ . -_ . _ , _ 3� ; � REGULAR MEETING OF JANUARY 22, 1979 � PAGE 3 i _ _ i to make enough money on the fees to su6sidize something else. ���, Mr. Harris asked if he couid see the documentation fbr th2se fees. Councilman Qarnette stated if Ms. Schnabel and Mr. Harris felt uncomfortable with these fees, he suggested tabling the item for two weeks to give them an opportunity to review the docun�entation for raising Lhe fees. MOTION by Councilman Barnette to table this item for two ��eeks. Seconded by Councilman Schneider.

He stated the Commission had previously requested that the City Attorney be directed to take whatever steps were necessary to insure that the Anoka County Airport remain at its present status. Mr. Sobiech stated, based on that particular request, a meeting was held �� with representatives of MnDOT, the Metropolitan Airports Commission and '�� the Metropolitan Council to obtain a better understanding of the proposals � j-�' .. for the airport. � . '� �- Mr. Sobiech stated the Environmental Quality Lommission still has concerns, '� however, regarding the proposals that have been noted in the MnDOT Plan '. and th° Metropolitan Council Airports Guide. He stated the Commission is � requesting the Council to correspond with the MPCA to develop certain ! procedures to insure that any type of changes to the airport facilities '�. would require certain regclations with proper review. He stated the ��'� Comnission also recommended that correspondence be sent to the Governor ��. to request that funding of the Master Plan be viithdrawn. - �� Mr. Sobiech stated, it is his understanding, that with the processing of � � the Master Plan, certain impact statements would have to be made.

He stated some persons have the impression that the Master Ptan is one of the alternatives for an intermediate � airport. Councilman Schneider stated he has reservations also, but � doesn't know what constitutes the Master Plan. Mr. Sobiech suggested that�staff compile what has been adopted by the Council to date and pass this information on to the Environmental Quality �� Commission.

Mayor Nee stated this item involves the transfer of the cable television franchise. He stated it is spelled out in the franchise ordinance that a public hearing be held and the Council can then act by resolution. Ptayor Nee stated a public hearing was held on January 9, 1979 by the � n s_ REGULAR 14EETING Qf aftNUARY 22, 1979 PAGE 9 CATU Cormnission, after adequate notice. Mr. Ed Kaspszak, Chairman of the CFl1"V Commission, stated the Comnission feels they have received atl the anstaers they were obliged to ask, however, tBe answers weren't necessarily to their satisfaction. Mr. Kaspszak stated the Comnission did vote for approval of the mer9er contingent on approval of certzin amendments to the franchise ordinance. He stated the Council can deal r;ith the transfer on its own, independent of the amendm2nts, or they can put them toyether. Mr.�Kaspszak stated, hc felt, with the Storer merger, there would be '. a marked improvement of services to the corcdnunity. �''��. Councilman Schneider asY,ed if the Commission's position was that the ���� transfer of the francise should be contin9ent on Storer accepting the �� amendments. � Mr. Kaspszak answered in the affirmative. � I� Mayor Nee stated the problem before the Council is that they could act tBis eveniny cn a resolution to approve the transfer; however, if it is decided not to approve the transfer until they have niade amendments, this would add about two nionths to the proceedings. Piayor free stated, in an effort to accommodate both the concerns of the company and concerns of the Commission, he sug9ested there may be some middle gruund whereby the Councit ��;ould secure either the assurance that the company would not litigate against the amendments or that the coinpany concurred with the memo that tne City Attorney, Mr. H2rrick, provided which stated that the Council had the power unilaterally to amend. Mr. Ed Carpenter, attorr�ey representing General Television, stated they are trying to yet acYion on the traiisfer of the control of General Television, Inc. arid uryed the Council to sepa�ate the transfer from the amendmni;t question. Mr. Carpenter explained that General Television, Inc. i�s a parent company of General Television of �4innesora vthich holds tL•c Fridley franchise. He staCed that ccmpany vrill not be changiug, 6ut what is nappening is that Generat Television, Inc. will 6e merging into a subsidiary of Storer Brocdcasting Company and there are over 400 shareholders of General Television who will receive cash or stock from Storer. Mr. Carpenter explained this �mzrger involves transfer of control of General Television of hiinnesota and transfer of control of two East coast sub- sidiaries. f4r. Carpenter stated they have been required to o6tain FCC approval and the shareholders viill meet on February 15, 1979 to approve or disapprove this transaction. hir. Carpenter stated he is trying to separate the transfer of the franchise from the amendments and statad tne Council has an opinion that the franchise ordinance can be amended unilaterally and that they would have the sarne rights after the ownership has changed. He felt the question or. the amendments is much nore complex and would take additional study. Councilmtn Schneider asked if Mr. Carpenter concurred with Mr. Herrick's opinion. . . Mr. Carpenter stated it seeined the ordinance covers this and is very clear. If you take the ordinance literally, it can be unilaterally amended. '��. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the amendment would have to be �� ; reasonahle, however, within the framework of the ordinance, but it � � clearly states it can 6e amended, fie stated it was accepted by General � I Teleeision in its present form and ��ould be accepted by Storer in its � , present form. , REGULAR ME[TING OF JANUARY 22, 1979 PAGE 10 Mr, tlerrick stated the Council iaas attempting to find a middle ground 6y askrng the proposed owners to either accept the provisions that the ordinance couid be amended by the Council or to make a statement to the effect that they wouldn't object to the nature of the proposed amend- ments. He stated the statement they received from NorYhern Cablevision skirts these concerns, as it doesn't really forthrightly say "yes" to either of these requests. Mr. Herrick felt another alternative would be to ask the person who drafted the letter for a nmre positive statement and have that before the Council at their first meeting in February. He felt, if that statement was less ambiguous than the one the City has now, action could be taken at that time. Councilman Schneider felt a letter from Storer saying they agree with the amendments or agree with �4r. Herrick's opinion regarding unitateral changing of the franchise would solve the problem. Mr. Ed Kaspszak stated the Commission feels that the franchise, as it exists today, is but an embryo and within 10 years you will see things that were unheard�of this evening. He stated a company like Storer will get involved not only in the programming that we have today, but> for example, telephone banking, retail catalog orders, educational systems of all kinds, market research, etc. He stated the Commission wanted the amendments�, as part of the merger, as they felt it would be easier to handle these at this time rather than when tne merger is up for renewaL . Mr. Kaspszak stated these amendments have been discussed over a period of years at many meetings and the Commission knows what it wants to do and feels it has the concensus of the community. � Mr. Kaspszak stated Storer was warned back in November that this process ', could take two or three months or even longer. He felt Storer thou9ht '�, that what was going to be resolved oras the merger and there wouldn't �'� ��� be any amendment process. He stated the Commission doesn't fieel this way. ,! �He thought there might be smne damage done internally with the stock- . holders, but fett it was very hard to intermingle the interests of , Fridtey with the stockholders. Mr. Kaspszak stated he was ser.sitive � to the problem, but felt his responsibitity is to the City. Mr. Doug Hedin, legal counsel for the CATV Commission, stated Mr. Erickson (legal counsel for Storer) noted at the January 9, 1979 meeting that the ordinance could 6e amended and felt ttiis would comply with Councilman Schneitler's request. . Councilma� Fitzpatrick pointed out, if what Mr. Hedin stated was true, wt�y the company was reluctant to reflect this in their letter to support their position rtare strongly. � MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to receive the letter from Northern Cablevision dated ,]anuary 19, 1979. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. � Mr. Jim Erickson, legal counsel representing� Storer, stated the Council has 6efore them a reconmendation to approve the merger contingent on amendments. He stated if there is any question on what the company's position is on the right of the City to amend the franchise, they agree with Mr. Herrick's interpr�etaiion that the City has the right to alter the terms to make any reasonable changes. � Mr. Erickson stated he made this point to the Commission that they felt it would be in the best interests of Storer and best interest of the City to withhold action on the amendments until ;uch time as Storer 6roadcasting operates this system. He felt a number of concerns of the City would be eliminated so felt it doesn't make sense to spend a�great deal of time arguing over things that six months from now will not be an issue. n5 ,! � r,, REGULI4R MCETING OF JANUARY 22, 1979 PAGE 11 Mr. Erickson stated some of the amendments may not be necessary and some amendments that aren't beiny recorrnended now may arise. He stated tBere were some internal inconsistencies in the last�minutes that were adopted, 6ut didn't see anything the company can't live with. Mr. Erickson requested the Council to approve the transfer this evening. He pointed out.that the transfer resolution, to be effective, has to 6e clean unto itself and that the transfer not be contingent on the Council passing any amendments. Councilman Schneider stated to Mr. Erickson that on January 9, he took the position that he would recor�nend to Storer that they not buy the franchise, if the 5`w fee was attached, Councilman Schneider asked if he is now saying that he is rncort¢nendiny that it is an acceptable franchise amendment that they could live with. Mr, Erickson stated he saw nothing in the concept of those amendments that, if.taken up after six months of Storer's operations, they couldn't live with. If they are taken up now, his comments remain the same. Councilman Schneider asked, if the Council approved the transfer and then proceeded with these amendnients into the franchise, would they thert consider them unreasonable and challenge hir. Herrick's opinion. Mr. Erickson stated he would have one view if they a:ere adopted ncw, however, six months later they would take a different position. Mr. Erickson felt, if the Council approves the merger this evening, it should 5e irrelevant whether the amendments come up immeAiately or to wait tvro or three�rtanths to give Storer the six months they asked for. Councilman Schneider felt this Has inconsistent, as they agree with Mr. Herrick's ruling that the City can unitaterally change the francise, and yet they are saying these amendments six months from now are reason- able, but these amendments two months from now might be construed as unreasona6le. �Mr. Erickson stated the reasonableness is not the issue, but the timing is. Mr. Herrick stated to Mr. Erickson that he has made certain statements as to position and asked if he was authorized to make these on beha7f of his client ;o the City wouldn't get into a position later where officials of Storer might say that Mr. Erickson said things withcut their explicit authority. Mr. Erickson stated, in his experience with Storer, they trust his legal opinion and doesn'.t think they are that kind of a company. Mr. Her�ick asked Mr. Erickson if the Council tabled this matter to the first meeting in February so that there could be additional discussion between the attorneys, if this would be a major problem. Mr. Erickson stated the stockholders meeting is for february 15, but if the Courcil could take action the first meeting in february, felt it wouldn't jeopardize the�transaction. Senator Schaaf stated he.has some understandin9 of the 6ackground of cable television in Fridley so he has more than a normal interest. He stated Storer is coming to our community in different circumstances than the current operator. He stated we can clearly see the operator wants this to be a success and needs to operate a nuinber of systems to be a successful financiat adventure. He stated he belieo�es Storer has the a6ility and background Co n�ke this good and thinks if the City gives them a hair of good faith and approves the merger and transfer, Storer will come to Fridley and do a good job. Councilinan Schneider stated it seems the Council is spending an inordinate , I i ' REGULAR MEETING OF �ANUARY 22, 1979 PAGE 12 ainount of time when one simple letter vwuld solve the pro6lem. Senator Schaaf stated Storer wants the opportunity to really do it right and show the Council some hard evidence of what is happening. He stated there is nothing wrong to look at it from their point of view. MOTION by f.ouncilman Fitzpatrick to table this item to the meeting of February 5, 1979. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated the Council has heard Councilman Schneider state over and over that the Council wants to see a letter, like the one received into the record, that states what perhaps Mr. Erickson has stated this evening, and what is in the minutes of the CATV meeting. Mr. Erickson stated his client 9ets impatient with lawyers and questioned why they didn't transfer the franchise. He stated his client asked what the Council wanted and for the City Attorney to write this out and Mr. Daniels will sign it. Mr. Erickson stated it seems like they are a7ways the ones that must have the faith. Mayor Nee stated, since he has a motion to ta61e which has been acted on, he would poll the Council as to their wishes. Mr. Herrick stated, prior to the motion to table, he was going to say that he would withdraw his suggestion to table 6ecause he had discussion with Mr. �oug Hedin and on the question he wished to discuss ��ith him, he had received an answer to his satisfaction. � Mayor Nee stated some questions are raised in his mind about separating the transfer of the franchise and the amendments because the Commission was very explicit. Councilman Barnette stated he has no qualms about signing the transfer, except he has a lot of respect for the CATV Commission and �dould, there- fore, be leary about voting on anything�this.evening if the conditions- weren't met. Councilman Schneider stated he is not intending to say Storer is dis- reputable, but would feel more comfortable in having what Mr. Erickson said on record, in a letter saying they agree with the City Attorney's opinion. Councilwoman �4oses stated she agrees with Councilmen Barnette and - Schneider as to what the Commission has recommended, however, sees this as a matter six months down the road, if they need the amendments at that time, they could get them. She stated yetting it in writing doesn't seem to be the problem anymore. Councilman Fitzpatrick Felt the Council has the recommendation of the CATV Commission and if the City Attorney feels what is on the record serves the purpose, the Council will very likely proceed with the merger. lie stated he would like to have Storer state their position in the form of a letter and the Council would be receptive of that on February 5. Mr. Larry Chevalier, a member of the CATV Cominission, stated his only co�nent is that several of the Comr.iission members are new on the Commission and felt they are taking a fairly fresh look at the matter. He stated his feelings are in the memo and expressed to Chairman Kaspszak. Mayor Nee sug9ested a�recess to enable the attorneys to discuss this further.

He felt the County would contribute some money for the cos* of , this signal. Councilman Fitzpatrick felt the signal should serve a general service to justify ihe City's par-ticipation. • Councilwoman Moses felt it 4ras a 9ood idea to approach the people, but questioned if the City has the money to spend for the signal. Mr. Qureshi stated the Council would, in a way, be contributing some of its future funds. He stated i{ the signal is provided and the City participates, about an additionai $30,000 would have to be appropriated next year. Mr. Qureshi felt the only precedent involved is that the City has never assessed neighborhoods far this improvement. He felt the staff could prepare an outline listing the reasons vrhy the City cannot get a signal at this intersection and find out if there is support for this approach as an alternative for having the signal installed. � It was generally ayreed by the Council that probably the funding under Item k5 would be the most desirable riith the City contributing 507, the County contributing 25% and the remaining 25;_ to be assessed, if they were to proceed with the signalization. MOTION by Councilman Barnette to concur with the recommendation and adopt Item 5 as an operating plan.for a signal at TH 47 and 69th Avenue. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.

Based on the aforementioned, I am recommending that the Council amend the second reading of the ordinance to show a charge of $75 for lot splits, rather than $100.

At this tine, iss. Schroer t�ould like to nlat tbe nurth portion of the prooerty into indu�trial and co�ercial development. He would like coa�ierciul along the high�aay� light industrial ttu•ou�h the center and heavy industrial o� the outside. The way the plat� are �et up, everythiu� would meet cede and ��e streets IIlld utilities would be all right.

FJith that 100 foot setback line� there would be two .lots cn which it would be very diff'icult to build withouC A ��arinnce. They would also require 10 foot ca�emant lines urour.d the property to allow tl:em the maximum fleaii�il3ty, ihere coulcl be some areas eherc they kouldn�t want easen�ents� but they wott7.3 lknve to wo:k with tue property owner on that.

Schroer stated that on the comercinl areas� Lhey were reversing what they hAd done on previous areas. 'Phey were putting the service drive behind the cornu;ercial and moving the buildinss closer to the highway and the parlcing would then be behind. Mr. Ilerris asked about the 100 Poot setback. M:'. Schroer stated they had a problem With that. Mr. Iiarris asked if they could re-ali�n some of the lots. Mr. Schroer stnted that Jim Benson, i�, paske�s representative �o� e�p�in ��h�t they wqnted, b�, ?aske is the potential buyer Mz'. Ben�on stated that he realized that the City had the 100 foot setbacics Por good reasan, but he questioned the need for a 100 foot setback in this particular development considering that the buildings wouid be set up against Uni+rersity nvenue and the would Ac�t as � buffer, also because this would be a complete plat and not as t�pugh they were tr in parking Y� � to isolate something somec:here else, and also, because this would be light indus�rial,.the buildings along there would be almost as goo3 looking as com.mercial buildings, �'. Harris stated it wAS a parg of the zonin� ordinance, but tbey coulci ask £or a variance. r�t'. Boardman ctated the 100 foot setback would also ensure adequate parking� because they can park in the 100 foot setback. H�'• Harrie stated it would be a similiar situation to R�nchers Road. Mr. Benson noted that the end building on Ranchers Road, Road, there the building was turned giving it 35 £eet and front. the one on 79th and Ranehers the parlcyn� was aeross the Mr. Harris stc�ted thmt with the plz�tting and rezoning, the variances could be a stipulation. Mr. Poardman stated that if they approve the platting and rezoning, they would be providin� A h;�rdship fcr tbe construction on these lots and the Appe$ls Commission would be hard preseen to deny a variance request. This should be considered in their decision. Mx. Benson stpted thc�t the purpoce of the 100 foot setback, when applied to this lot� wuuld not seem logical� considering the lidhter zoi:ing and r�ll, and mc;ybe a 50 foot setbsck Would be enough. h�•, Schroer noted they were also talking about a 66 foot rond ri�ht o£ way: hu•, iiarris qsked if there would be a proUlem with roadway. rh'. 13en3on rl;nted $liat w�ould not be a problem, the other 50 foot er�sement for tbe �'� i�z.nr•;rrzrar, r,o�r�rss;r.a,a r�r?��rzrrr„ snr;UAT.iY a_��, 1979 - PAGF. 3 Z;3 Mr. Flurrl.3 nEL•ed if there �rould be u prob.lem c�ith extending the plat line Lo coincide with the eouthern easement Uoundr�ry l.ine. Mr, P,onrdn.�n stuted thry v,cre cancerned about i;hat tecause if it was turned over to public property, they don't knou hota they rorould use it and at thic point in ti�e they would like to require a buffer by the industrial property titithin that portion. They would etill be able to utilize that area fcr pArking and trucks. Mr. tInrris askcd if that tiaAS M-1 or M-2. � Mr. Aenson �tated the proposal wac ii-2 and through the eenter was I+D.. Mr. Iiarris a�ked which way they would be facin�. Mr. Eenson stated the entrance wou].d be on the side cimiliar to Perkins, and the building would be moved up close to the highuay. D7r. Boardrean stated most of them wovld want exposure to University .�venue with the parking in the back. Mr. Peterson as�ed if it was essential that the roads in the M-2 match u�. Mr. Boardman stated they would want the streets lined up because when they were not lined up, there r�ould be a greater potential for acci�ents. P4r. Boardnan also stated they-�rould require under�round utilities r.dth the plat. t�r. Iinrris usked what they should do about the dr�inage. Mr. Boardn�an stated that Suburban Engineering was looking at it and putting tooether a plan for draina�e for the Rice Creeli 4latersbed. They were looking at drainage into the County park area. � Mr. Peterson asked iY the park had been approved in terms of funds. Mr. Boarduk�n stated tbat the Ccunty had been approved in tex^.ns of funds and the City was still waiting. If they cannot purchase the nroperty, bfr. Schroer would be developing this as industrial probably� ¢:d he would tt�ke care of drainage with that plat. I�ir, BoArdman stated �they w�re hopia� to have the drainaga plan at this time. There siiould be a stipulation i;o the plai: that Rice Creek Watershed approve the draina�e and I£ something should happen ��here this prcperty could not be purchased as park facilities, the drainage frem i.his plat woul.d be taken care of within that �lat. Mr. Ifarri.s stated they should have �n agreer�ent in writing regarding that� as taell As the stipulation for the plat. Mr. Fi�irris asked if anycne in the audience wished to speak regarding this item. Mr. Ed Stepbens� 2�+9 _ C9th Acenue N.E.� ststed that he was concerned aUout thc other �FO acrec, the souther hrzlf of the property, and r:ondered if they would get a notice when that ti�as being developed. Mr. Iinrris stated tl�ey would be notified before that area was developed. PLANNING CONi'I.",SION NJTZ'INs' JI1T1Un^Y 2A, ].979 PAGT' 14. 2 � Mr. '}Iarris anked how tt�e zonin� code regairdin� the 100 foot retback reezd. h;r. Bonrdr,:en ctated the ccde required a 100 foot setback acrosa any ri�ht of way from rsny other wne for indu�trial. P�r. Eoardman theii read the zoniug code to the Commi3�ioners. Mr. Iiarri.a si;ated they should look at that code when they review the code changes. In some instunces it rrould worY, and in oi;hers it d1.d not malce sense. Mr. Oquist stated it did not make sense in this case where those Zots were facing two different Y.inds of zones. Mr. Harris stated he would have to agree r�ith Mr. Benson, that considerin� what property eosts and to �et it inco buildable shape� that wou].d be a real burden to have a 100 foot setback on this particular pronerty. hY�. Peterson ;tated that if they aparove this� they xould b� taking the'option away from the Appeals Com�ission� and a�ked ,is. Schnabel how she felt about it. h1s. Sehnabel stated she was trying to visu�.lize bow these buildin�s would look and felt thst the point was well taken t�at if the setback only has to be 35 :eet on two of the lots and 100 feet on the other two� it wouldn't make sense. AL. Schnabel stated she did not think tnat iaas the intent of the zoning code. Also� to have 2 100 foot setback on both sides wf the one narticular lot was r�uch tougher to comply with. These setbacks taould not effect or help anythin� that much. Mr. ?eterson asked if Frhen the building permits are applied for, would there be anything there to give some continuity to the 4 lots slong 73rd and the lots coming south along the new proposed road. The roray they place the building on lot 1 r�ould e££ect it going both ways. Mr. Boardman stated t+lr. Paske �rould most likely have 100 to 105 foot setbacic on 73rd, because the �asy those lots are setback, he would have two zero lot lines. The buildings wou.ld be facing 73rd with the parking in front. Ns. Harris asked N,r, Benson if tl�at w�s the way hlr. Paske would do it� on lot� 1 thruugh 4� would he put the parking in frcnt facing 73rd. Mr. Benson stated he would do it that way. Mr. Iiarris asked if there was a 100 ioot setback line drawn fro:n the new proposed road runnina parallel along 73rd all the way across, �;ould that �aork. bfr. Benson ctsted it wou].d. . Ns, fiarric stated thctt the problem the� was alon� the new proposed road. For clarificatio:., Mr. Fkjrris �uggested they call the stree•t along the east side "A" street� the one thut rwis ease and we�t to the soutb "II" street� and the one to the west "C" street. Mr. ilarris stated, if they si;iuul�ted that a line from "C" street to "A" street riu�ning parnllel 1;0 73rd at a 100 foot setbt�ck, uud if they did away with tl�e 100 foot setback on "A" street and made it a 35 root setback� it would give continuity, ."„���A���.. �,�,_.� �1:,,,�u,: ra,.,s:r�.,ac ,rnrrunt�y 24 19 � rncr 5 2 D , Dir.

Qureshi, Cil-y Manager MEMO FROM: Richard N. Sobiech, PuUlic Works Director pATE: January 29, 1979 SUBJECT: Proposed Coon Creek/Moore Lake 115 KV Trans- mission Line by NSP Attached please find a project assessment report from NSP regarding a proposed project' involving installat:ion of a 115 KV transmission line. NSP presented the pr.oposal to Coon Rapids and has been given approval to proceed �vitli the project. The information is being passed on to the City of Fridley at this tinte to.receive Fridley's approval of the project. A review of our Charter and City Ordinances indicate there is no speci.fic procedure involviuo City Council approvai other than the stan- dard administrative permit approval process. liowever, due to the magnitude of the proposal it is felt t[iis information should be passed on to the City Council for information and any com,nents Ltiey may have regarding the project. Accor.din� to NSP the project is minor in nature (any project 200 KV and larger requires state EQC approval), and the transmission line is proposed to utiiize the right-of-way of the Burlington Northern. In fact, it is proposed to install the power poles parallel with and westerly of the existing 345 KV transmission line power poles in the railroad right-of-way. I would appreciate any further direction you might have regarding this transmission line. As far as the st-aff can determine, we envision no problems �vith the proposed project, particularly due to L'he fact the transmission line will be installed along an existing intrusion. It should be poi.uted out that with the installation of this transmission line, the transmission line currently existing along TH 65 nortli of the Pioore Lake substation cuill be removed. This, in fact, should help Yhe aesChetics of this area, I will be happy to further discuss this project with you and tlie City Council.

PROdECT SUNSiARY (See Instructions) hote: For a 2nd or 3rd year npplication, provide a sumnary of progress toward accomplishment of pro'ect goals. The City of Fridley has become aware of its increasing crime problem and, exhibiting natural concerns, has looked for effective solutions. Over the past year, staff of the Special Operations Unit of the Fridley Police Department with the assistance of the Minnesota Crime Prevention Center has: 1. Gathered and analyzed data from a variety of sources. The sources included police offense reports, a Fridley Neighborhood Survey, and informal interviews with key individuals. This data has provided a clear profile of the city's crime problem. (See Appendix A for detailed information about data sources and collection tech- niques.) �. 2. Formed several Task Forces to review the data, add to and interpret the data, develop clear problem statements from the data, and generate program ideas to address the problems. The Task Forces which are now prepared to participate in implementation of crime prevention programs include a Planning Task Force, a Community Action Task Force, a Design Review Task I'orce, and a Commercial Task Force. (See Appendix B for elaboration on purposes, activities and membership of the Task Forces.) 3. Undertook a demonstration of specific crime prevention strategies in one neighbor- hood in Fridley. (See Appendix C for description of this demonstration.) Based on the analyzed data, the work of the staff and Task Forces, and the success of the neighborhood demonstration, the Fridley Department of Public Safety is proposing a Community Crime Prevention Project for the city which has the following components: Data Collection and Crime Analysis. An effective and efficient system of data collection and crime analysis will be established and implemented which will provide Fridley with a profile of the city`s crime problem on a regular basis. Crime Prevention Office.

It has been and will continue to be a policy of the City to work in cooperation with each and every school district, especially in the development of recreational facilities and programs. In the recent past, we have worked very successfully with District �14 and District #16 toward this goal. The City Council has directed me to write this letter in the form of an official proposal to construct and possibly light two outdoor tennis facilities to be located on the North Park Elementary School site. Please see the attached aerial photo sketch. Our past cooperative efforts in providing indoor activities for the residents attending North Park Elementary School have been quite successful. Please know that we do appreciate the principal's and School Board's continued support in providing leisure time services. According to all reports and research, the growth of tennis has been tremendous and wili continue to be an activity for all ages. It is for this reason that we feel obligated to request the above permission to construct these outdoor facilities. I am sure that the elementary school will find the facilities a benefit to their programs during the school hours and the residents of the immediate area would find great use of the facilities after school hours and on weekends.

SUI3JECT: MORTGAGE REVEtvUE BOGDS DATE: JANUARY 26, 1979 I have drafted a bi71 vahich would have as its purpose allot�ring the City of Fridley to issue $5,OOO,DDO (or whatever amount the Council wishes) in Mortgage Revenue Bonds. (See Attachment No. l.) The bill as drafted is nearly identical to the one adopted by the 1976 Legislatui°e for the Cities of B7oomington and South Saint Paul, and to the one being introduced in 1979 for the City of Ptoorhead. The bill as drafted iaould authorize the issuance of revenue or general obligation bonds. The purpose of going to general obligation bonds is they carry lower inte.rest rates. South Saint Paul used revenue bonds for their recently completed issue. This is an important determination for the Council to consider. You maY not tvant the authorization to issue oeneral obligation bonds. If this is the case, we v+ill simply strike that section from the proposed bill. I am also enclosing copies of the Bloomington/South Saint Paul and the Moorhead bills so that you can see how they read. (See Attachments No. 2 and 3.) Enclosed as Attachment No. 4 is Mr. Robert Ehle�°s' letter of January 19, tivhich is in anstaer to my letter of January 11. Some of the points Bob raises in his letter, such as the process for selection of an underwriter do not have to be decided upon at this time. The most important matter at this time is to get the special bill to our local legislators so that it can be introduced.

Qureshi, City Manager Richard N. Sobiech, Public Works Director February 1, 1979 Advertisement for Bids; Municipal Garage Expansion As discussed with you, the Public Works Department is still interested in pursuing the expansion Tothe municipal garage. After conversations with the architect, it was felt that the original plans and specifications might have been quite energetic in an attempt to match the existing structure too completely. Upon review of the total project, it has been determined that the main consideration should be for required space needs to allow reorganization of the Public Works Maintenance operation, together with additional bathroom requirements. This being the case, a review of the original pians and specifi- cations was made to determine possible revisions to the original construction plans involving deletion of certain items: l. 2. 3• 4. 5• 6. 7. 8. 9. Core filled concrete block vs. Irterior partitions Ceiling (acoustical) Painting regular insulation and paneling Omit two center windows on front wall Ceramic tile in bathroom Lettering on front of building Plain door vs. side lights Bumper posts With the above revisions, it is anticipated that the expansion costs might be closer to the monies budgeted, especially if con- sideration was given to advertise for bids at a more appropriate time during the year. Any deleted items could be reconsidered at a later date with possible construction by City forces. Therefore, it is requested that the Council consider advertising for bids for the revised plans.

QURESHI February l, 1979 ADJUSTMEPIT OF CITY'S ALLO�dANCES FOR EMPLOYEE'S MILEAGE RE IMBURSEf4ENT There seems to be a concern among the employees that the City's present reimbursement policy of 16¢ per mile does not fairly compensate for the use of their vehicles. Since 1975 there has been only one adjustment in this reimbursement and that was from 15¢ to 16¢ a mile in 1978. During this period the cost of maintaining and operating a vehicle has been accelerating at a fast pace. I was given a copy of a newspaper article dated October 30, 1978 where Hertz Car Rental Corporation indicated that the cost for operating a car was running about 33� a mile. Qased on some of the data t��e have collected, I feel it will be appropriate for the City to adjust this reimbursement to 18¢ a mile. This would mean that the City has adjusted this rate over a four year period to an increase of 20�. Since 1975 we have not adjusted the car allowance reimbursement and that is planned to be raised 15% in 1979.

Fridley, P.finnesota 5j1,32 Regarding: Bike Lane Striping on C.S.A.H. N6 (Aiiississippi Street) A and C.S.A.H. i18 (Osborne Road) Dear Dick: 4Ve have studied the traffic aspecCs relating to the above topic as noted in your letter dated January 9, 7.979. In checicing vaith the A:linnesota Department of Transpor.tation we found trat stripin� the center 10 feet of these routes is not advisable. It ivould act as a Uarrier and restriet entrances and exits to and from residences (and other adjacent land uses) to right turns only.. Also, the 10 foot turn lanes are too narrow; they should Ue 12 feet �vide. Accordin; to design criteria from the P:?innesota State Planning Agency four foot wide bike lanes are inadequate. In 197$ �ve jointly revievred traffic volumes and considered turning movements on these routes. At this time we agreed that the striping of four lanes (accomplished in 1978 subsequent to our studies) provides the best facility for truffic available on Lhe existin� road surfaces. You'l1 recall that eve place3 a ne�v sur*.'ace on 1.Tississippi. Street in 1978 from T.H, ilQ7 (University Avenue) to C.S,A.H. #35 (Central Avenue). It vrould be impractieal to modify striping on this new surface. Considering the above facts, �ti�e feel tha1; bi.cyeles may use the roadway, providinT tl�e,Y oUeS� tlie ru].es of tl�e road, and it, can serve botli vehicles and bicycles.

Our ofHce concvrs in the necessity for the developrnent of a system of txails for not only the City of Fridley but alsu the neighboring com:nunities ar.d even- tually the metropolitan area and a staCe-wid? system. Z�le exoect that the incerest in the deJelo�nen[ of this system will increasc as time goes on,and we will be attemptino to caorlc with each of the cor,ununities to provide for utilization of porticns of the County hiohway sys[em whcre the location of a bike trail along aur highNays is feasible from the standpoint of capacity and safety. With these thoUghts in mind,we wou1J offer a few co�nents concerning the system that you havc proposed,as sho�Jn on the map included in the report on page 33. Tl�e location of Uikc l�nes alon� the e�istino County highway system within [he City oi Fridley, coe rcalize,nrovide some good through connections. In several instances hhey also provide the only controlled crossin,�s ot Truiil: tlighwayis k7 and GS� and also crossin^s of the f3urlin�ton Northern Itailroad within the City of Fridlcy. �7ithin thc past wcelc we have becn in on a neeting wiCh thc State ]ii,r,hway Deparnnent rcl�tivc Lo tl.c intcrsections of Osl�orn ::oad and Mississippi Strcet �vith 'frunk lli�lnaay 47, so you are acaarc of the prohlems and concerns that must be dcalt �.�ith in designin; and constructin� �hese inter- sections to aJeq��:itcly h�ndie [l�e vcl�icular traftic, anJ also to provide for the safq pass�ge oP Uicycle and pedestri�n tratfic. Ci[y oE FrLdlcy m,y z�, L��s Pa&e 2 We arr_ concerned Cliat� as additional develo�nenC occurs within the City oP Fridley and within rLe nei;hborin� adjar_ent c rosnunities� Che traffic volimes on strceL-s such as Osborn Road, Efi,>issippi Street and OLd Central� which are vital parts of your proposcd system, wi11 incr.ease to a point where four Lanes of vehicular traftic wi11 he required and tliere will Ue a limitr_d area, i£ any, remainiug on the paved surface for a bicycle lane. With tliis in mind, we would suE�,est strongly that tohcrever possible you look for alternative routes for your bicycle paths or lanes off of Che County highway system� so that as Lhe traffic builds up this change in system at a Later date will not be a problem for,cither the City of Fridley or the County of Anotca. In reviewing thc bike trail systems for neighboring communities, such as Coon Rapids, Colmnbia lfeights and New Brighton cat�ich are attached in Appendix C in the report, we notr_.that thc City of Coon Rapids has laid out their primary - , �., , i.< < syseem in a fashion�to that of the City of P'ridley, navlely that a good share of their routes are aleng County roads. Sde er.pect that traffic on thesc routes wiL1 also increase in tiie futurc and they wili Ue faced with the same type of prablens T have described previously. S7e note with interest that the ciL-ies of Col�nbia Heiohts and New Brighton have� in socae instances� located their bicycle rouCes a1on� County highways. The najority of their routes� however, are located along city streets away from t,ie heavily traveled routes, thereby not creatin� proolems ior traffic on the heavily traveled roads� but also pra- vidind for z safer bicycle path or lane on strcets that have more residential traffic char�cteristics. In.reviecrin� the mco^aeendations thzt were prepared by your Bikeway/TJalkway Comnittee, as list'ed on pages 5 and 6 of the �-eport, we caoulci like to state thae: our traffic si�nal secCion is in L-he process of reviewing each of the signalized intersections aLono the County higiic�2y syster.i, as required by State and Federal hi�h:oay re�ulations. One of the specific items being reviewed in this inventory is an emuneration of dcf'_cienries that exist re�arding pedestrian traffic facilities. We would expect that this report wi11 be completed and re- vfewed within the n�xt few months so that some of the iL'ems that you note in Items 1 and 2 of yonr recm.r.nendations cai12 have Ueen studied and a solution cE any deficiencies that are found will be addressed. As ae liave staied previously, we will work with you on the indication by striping of bil<e lanes alon� the County high:.ay system. I•Te eapect that our Traffic Depart- ment will be meetin� with you caittiin the next month prior to the start of any stripino along the County roads withi❑ the City of Fridlcy. 47e wish to make elear tl�e fact that the installation of the striping to provide for b±cycle lanes at this tirae does not guarantee that the bil:e lanc can be maintained alano thc CounCy roads if nced for the full paved caidth to safely and aae- quately 2iandle vehicular traffic necessitates the striping of the roadway for four lancs of traffic aC somc futurc date. If you have any questions or cor,unents concerniiig the items tliat have been in- cluded in this letter in respoiue to your report, we coould appreciate a chance to sit doc.m witli you to revieca the report iri morc det:iil, and to explain the po€�iCS thaL�ae have raised.
