ADOPTION OF AGENGA:
CounciimanSchneider requested an item be added as follows: "Receiving Letter
fran Mr. Bob Bryant, 5421 7th-Street, Fridley, MN 55432, Regarding a Complaint
Against General Television."
MOTIOfV by Councilman Fitzpatrick to adopt the agenda as amended. Seconded by .
Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the
motion carried unanimousiy.
OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
Mr. Bryant, 5421 7th Street> appeared before the Council regarding his problem
with General Television.� He stated he has been in contact with Councilman
Schneider regarding this matter and was advised it would be pror,essed through
the proper channels. He stated, however, if the Council had arLy questions he
would be happy to answer them.
Councilman Barnette questioned what h1r. Bryant's problem was. Mr. Bryant
stated he connected with cable television approximately four years ago when he
moved to Fridley. He stated he enjoyed the HBO service and, therefore, had
tfie full service installed appr�ximately 90 days ago. He stated, zfter
trying this service, he found it was not worthwhile and called to have it dis-
connected. He stated he was talked out of this by General Television as they
explained they were having new equipment caning in to provide better service,
etc. He stated he then continued with the service for another 45 days and
there was no increase in service, except the directory service. Mr. gryant
stated his quarrel is that he cannot disconnect from this service and was not
�informed of this�or else he wouldn't have signed up for fcll service. Mr.
Bryant felt he should be atlowed to continue with the HBO service oniy.
Mayor Nee felt that General Television is caught in the middle as it has been
the City's view not to permit them to sell H80 service only and this was never
permitted under the franchise. He felt the best way to proceed is through
the Cable Television Cortmission to see if this matter can be handled so it is
consistent viith the franchise. � ��
Mr. John Eddy of General Television stated that Mr. 6ryant has surcmed up the
.. problem and hoped the Commission could correct this problem. He `elt probably
the best way to proceed is with consultation with the Commission in trying
to get the matter resolved.

borhood regarding their problem and they have also met with personnel in the
Crime Prevention Department. He stated a comment was made to the Council to
close off the access onto East River Road from Glencoe to lessen the traffic.
Mr. Qureshi felt, if the Council wished to proceed in this direction, they
should look into a more comprehensive approach regarding traffic patterns for
the entire area. He stated because of the lay out of the roadways, it is going
t4 be extremely difficult to minimize traffic on alt streets because they
are essentially used by local traffic. �
Counci7vroman Moses questioned the proposal for the cul-de-sac. Mr. Qureshi
stated this was from the petitioners, but he felt the Safety Department
would act contrary to this because of getting emergency vehicles in and out of
tne area.
Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, felt there probably should be a hearing
to discuss the various pros and cons.

to be heard.

ment Commission to review this matter.

Government would pay for 50% of the costs with the State and City each con-
' . tr9buting 25% of the cost> making the City's share> $69,375.

�._j if�the letter would then be forwarded to Mr. Schroer regarding the City's offer

at this point, if there are any reservations on the part of the Council to

of the City would be.
4' Mr. Herrick stated if the City gets to a point of signing a purchase agreement,
they would lase the earnest rtaney. He felt if there is any question whether
�.. the State and federal grant money is available, perhaps the letter shouldn't
be sent until something is received in writing or the City is given some
assurances that the funds are available.
Mr. Sobiech stated they have approval and agreement from the State, but as
far as Federal approval, it has only been verbal from the Federal� office.

Councilman Fitzpatrick stated when the City owns a 124 acre tract, ultimately
there is the possibility that the City would have to pay the operating costs.
He felt there were other options, but he felt that at some point in time, he
would be prepared to continue the costs of operation.
Mr. tqyhra asked Councilman Schneider if he wished to rephrase his answer?

MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to waive the reading of the public hearing notice

Mr. Sobiech, Public Works Director, stated that this was a rezoning request for a
parcel of property located in the northeast quadrant of 63rd Avenue and Highway
No. 65. Lots 9 and 10 are presently zoned C-i and Lot 11 is zoned CR-1. At the
present time, the Lift-Ski and Bike Shop exists there. The intention of the
petitioner is to rezone the property to C-2 which would permit a garden center
operation in the surmer time. tAr. Sobiech pointed out that with the rezoning
request, underfinal consideration of the rezoning�request, which would be at tiie ..
�ext Council meettng, the Council would also consider at that time a request
for a Special Use Permit which would involve specifically the garden center
aperation. The Planning Commission had a public hearing at their meeting of
Mdy 9> 1979, and recomnended to Council approval with stipulations. The
stipuiation is for a landscape plan and a schedule over a three year time
period be filed which would indicate further improvements of the property.
There are certain improvements such as fencing, blacktopping, concrete curb
and gutters, parking, etc.
Councilman Schneider asked Scott Holmer,.the petitioner, if he planned to put
the feoce on the north side of Lot 11 in imnediately. -
Councilman Schneider stated that the concern that was raised at the Planning
Comnission was from the owner of the apartment building. There is a lot
of cross-traffic and de6ris there. Ne understood that was why the Planning
Commission had put in a stipulation for a fence.
Mr. Sobiech stated that the stip�lation was that a fence be added to the north
sSde of Lot 11. In regards to screening> there is existing fencing on the
east side of the property between the Lift and the single family residences.
Councilman Schneider stated that he felt it should be fenced betause it would
be upgrading of the zone and if Mr. Holmer ever decided to setl the property,
he would be more comfortable with it fenced. Councilmam 5chneider stated that
he realized it was not Mr. Holmer's intention to sell.
Idr. Holmer stated that he was at a low cash ftow until October or November. He
would like to keep the property cleaner, and the trash was comin9 onto his
property from the north side, so he would like to do something there.

REQUEST FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP q79-06 BY ROBERT CARLSON 161 -
6PND WAY:
Mr. Sobiech stated that this was a request for a Special Use Permit to allow
construction of a second accessory buildirig at i61 - 62nd Way. At their
. meeting of June 6, 1979, the Planning Commission had a public hearing on this
matter and recomnended to Council approval with certain stiputations. The
stipulations state that '.he construction be not less than 20 feet rather than
19 feet from the adjacent.property owner to the west of the proposed site
location and also it was stipulated that it be compatible with the existin9
neighborhood and his home, indicating that the proposed structure be surfaced
188 -
RE6ULAR MEETING OF JUNE 18, 1979
PAGE 4
to match his existing dwel7ing. The third stipulation was that no home occupation
be allowed. As noted in the Ptanning Commission public hearing> it is the
intent of the petitioner to utilize the second accessory building for
storage of materials. There was discussion relative to future use of the
second accessory buildiny for a 9arage. There is space between the existing
dwelling and the property line which would allow a driveway to that seco�d
accessory building in the future. Mr. Sobiech stated that even thou9h there
were no objections noted at the Planning Commission hearing, it was comnented
that there were some residents who fett uncomforta6le with the proposed
second accessory building.
Mr. Theodore Burandt, 6211 Riverview Terrace N.E.> came forward and stated that
he is an adjacent property owner and that he is one of three people who
��-�� . object to the second accessory building. The other two people who object
wish to remain anonymous. He stated that initially, he had no reservations,
however, he did feel that there was adequate room for the garage to be
added to the structure. He felt that from a real estate resale value, it
would be better attached, rather than in the middle of the yard. If helps
that it would sit 20 feet away, but felt�that since the yards vrere small,
placing it in the middle of the yard was not a good idea. Mr. Burandt stati•d
that his house is immediately to the west o�F Mr. Carlson's house.
Mr. Sobiech showed Council an aerial view of the location and stated that the
petitioner's property was about 180 feet deep. Mr. Burandt lives to the west
and has the minimum 25 foot setvack on his house. Mr. Burandt was indicating
that the proposed structure would 6e in the rear of the yard. Mr. Burandt
felt there would be room for a 16 x 22 just west of the existing structure, and
could 6e tied in with the existing garage. .
Councilr+oman�MOSes asked if it were set back the maximum amount it could be?
Mr. Sobiech stated that it would be approximately.78 feet from the rear lot
line> and offset towards the center of Mr. Carlson's property. �
Councilwoman Moses asked Mr. Burandt if it vrould help if the proposed
structure were set back further? �
Mr. Burandt stated that would not make much difference because his whole
back yard is adjacent to Mr. Carlson's rear yard.
Mr. Carlson stated that before he petitioned for this, he went around to each
neighbor who bordered his property and explained what he wanted to do. There
were no objections. He stated that he and�Mr. Burandt had paced off the area
where the structure would go and Mr. Burandt did not have any comments.
Mr. Burandt stated that he had suggested to Mr. Carlson at that time that the
structure should be added on to the existing garage. He stated that at that
time he did not realty have ar�y objection, but after thinking about it, he
would object.
Mr. Carlson noted that Mr. Burandt has a 6 foot hedge. He stated that he intended
to build the garage in accordance with the rest of the property and it would add
to the looks of the property. He ltad indicated at the Planning Commission
meeti�ng that he planned to put in an inner court which would tie it all to9ether.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he would guess that if these objections
had come out at the Planning Commission meeting it would have helped. He
asked Mr. Carlson if he had considered attaching the proposed structure to the
existing gara9e?
Mr. Carlson stated that because of the way the-land slopes on the west side �
and because of his nei;;h6or's hedge, it would be more of a problem to.put
it there.� He stated that he was not concerned about the resale value, that
he plans on st�ying there and using it for storage. .
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked Mr. Carlson if he had any reservations in view
of the fact that his neighbor was now.objecting?
Mr. Carlson stated that he wished he had objected before this.
REGULAR MEETING ON dUNE 18, 1979 1�9
PAGE 5
Councilman Barnette asked Mr. Carlson if the neighbor to the east had aRy
objectionsl
Mr. Carlson stated he did not and that neighbor had a shed also.
Councilman Barnette stated that the objections shoutd have been voiced at �
the Ptanning Comnission's public hearing. He felt that Mr. Carlson had followed
the correct procedure and should be allowed to proceed with his project.
Councitwoman Moses asked if it would help if the building were farther back
on the property?
Mr, Burandt stated that he felt the other people would object to that. He
felt the most logical solution would be for Mr. Carlson to attach the
structure. �He stated that this was developing inio a neighborhood feud, and
that way why the other two peopte wish to remain anonymous.
Councilman Schneider stated that he had difficulty with people objecting anony-
mously. People have every right to object, but it was not ri�ght to do it
anonymously.
Councilman Barnette stated that he agreed and respected Mr. Burandt for coming
forward. He felt that it took courage for Mr. Burandt to come foreward, but
was still in favor of Mr. Carlson.
Mr. Carlson stated that thzre is a large tree to the west of the proposed
site and also a large pulm tree to the southwest of the proposed site. He
did not want to have to remove those trees. He also planned on an inner
court 6etween the house and the garage.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that in view of the unanirtrous decision of the
Planning Commission and even though he sympathizes with Mr. Burandt, he
would like to make a motion. .
� MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to concur with the Planning Commission's
recommendation for approval of Special Use Permit, SP H79-06 - 161 - 62nd
Way. Seconded 6y Councilman Barnette.
Mayor Nee asked if there was any way to work out a compromisel
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that the only conpromise he could see was for
Mr. Carlson to attach the structure to the west and Mr. Carlson gave the
reasons why he did not want to do that.
. Mr. Burandt stated there was an 18 inch drop there that would require o�e
load of fi17 to take care of that problem.
Mayro Nee stated that since the fellow to the east didn't object, maybe he
could put it further east.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that the minutes of the Planning Commission
explained why it could not go further east.
Mr. Carlson stated _that the reason he chose this particular location was
because he was tying it in with the patio and the entrance to the patio wouid
be on the west end of the building, o{f the sun porch. If he put it to the �
east it would be in front of his dining room window.
�, Councitman Fitzpatrick stated that in approving this request, they would
not be approving a specific location.
Mr. So6iech stated that the Specia7 Use Permit is to allow the construction of
. a second accessory building. The location on the property should fall within
the code requirements. Normally, we attempt to review the concerns of the
neigh6ors and certain locations are picked out because they have minimal
impact. So a Special Use Permit is usually approved with a plan in mind.
�� � REGULAR MEE7IN6 OF JUNE 18, 1979 PA6E 6
Mr. Herrick stated that if a Special Use Permit were issued with a limitation
on the location> Councilman Fitzpatrick's statement would be correct. He
stated that Council has the alternative of issuing a Special Use Permit and
specifying a location.
Mr. Herrick stated that an alternative would 6e to return this to the Planning
Comnission.
Councilman Schneider stated that he would like to see the property. He
didn't look at it prior to this meeting because there were no objections at
the Planning Corcanission publie hearin9. �
M�vor Nee stated that one week would solve his problem and give him a chance
to look at the property.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that with the permission of Councilman Barnette
who seconded the motion, he would withdraw his motion and make a-motion to
�continue this for one week. _ ,
Councilman Barnette stated that one week would be satisfactory, but would
hope it would not be any longer than that. He felt that Mr. Carlson had
done everything he was supposed to do and had taken vacation time to do�this
and it would not be fair to Mr. Carlson to put it off any longer than one
week.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated there was a conference meeting next week and
� asked if they could take action at that meeting?
Mr. Qureshi stated that Council could look at it and give Staff the authority i
' to do what Council decides.
�Mayor Nee stated that if they reach an agreement next Monday night, Staff '�
could issue the Special Use Permit and Council could confirm it on July 9th. ��
If they don't agree, it would have to come back to the Ju1Y 9th meeting. �,
Councilman Barnette asked that the people who have objections be at the .. I
meeting next Ftonday night. He suggested they be notified. �,
Councilman Fitrpatrick stated that he would make a motion to continue this �
until next P4onday ni9ht> but pointed out that there was a motion on the
floor and asked if tbe seconder agreed to withdraw it? I;
Mayor Nee stated that they didn't have to withdraw that motion now. �,
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to continue consideration of the request for '�
Special Use Permit, SP k79-06, by Robert Carlson, 151 - 62nd Way, for one �.
week and if no agreement is reached at next week's meeting, a final decision
will bc made on July 9th. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. '�..
Mr. Herrick stated that in reading the Plpnning Commission minutes regarding
the philosophy and requirements of a Special Use Permit> he found a statement ,
that troubled him. That statement was that the City has granted Special Use .
Permits because they were threatened with a law suit. He didn't recall that j
they had done that, in fiact they had been to court several times when they have ,
denied one and were sued. The Planning Comnission and Council should be
aware that when a Special Use Permit is denied, the burden ef establishin9 why �..
they are denied� is on the City. They have not granted one because of a threat ,
to sue. On occasions, he has recommended�they grant one when they did not have
arly valid reasons for refusing to grant one. As long as the Planning Commission ,I ��..
and Council realize that, he did not feel they wouid have arly problems. But ,I ,
that statement�bothered hi:��. � j
Councilwoman Moses asked if a valid reasur� for denying a Speciai Use Permit
� would be devaluing someone else's property. �
Mr. Herrick stated it would but that would have to be proved.

Mr. Sobiech stated that Planning Comnission made a motion that a meeting be
set to discuss this matter. He asked if Council would be interested in that
meeting? He stated that the owner of the apartment building would be living
there soon, about the last week of June. He suggested they wait until the
owner has moved in and p�an a meeting on the site with the neighbors involved
and with the owner of the other apartment building who lives in the metropolitan
area.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked Ms. Gable if that timing would be acceptable.
Ms. Gabel stated that she had two complaints this evening before coming to .
the meeting.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he had read the minutes and agreed they
had�talked about this enough, but the proposal was to talk once more. He
vrould have no objection to that meeting.

GONSIDERATION Of PAINTING OF HOUSE NUMBERS 01•7 CURBS, K. STEVEN RICE:
; �Mr. Sobiech stated this was a request to allow or permit house number I
� painti�ng on curbing. This has been done several times in the past and has
! aided our emergency services�such as police and fire. Mr. Sobiech gave I
, Council copies of notices similar to the notices Mr. Rice would be passing I
out. �Mr. Rice is currently working in Edina.
,, Mr. Rice stated thzt Council was given two exampies of the notices he passes I
; . out. One example was the original version of the notice he generally
:� � passes out and the other is a revised notice that specifically states that
clearebecause there�weretsome minortcomplaints from somee�residents.thHe I
�,� � �explained that the way he works is to pass out the leaflets and wait one I
or two days in order to give the people who don't want it a chance to call, �
,� , then he would paint tbe numbers on the curbs and then would collect. The I
. collection is termed a donation with an estimated value of $3.00. From
��. experience, the majority of the people will pay the $3.00, some wi11 give I
$1.00 and some wi11 pay $5.00. By stating that they don't have to pay,
people don't feel forced into-it. Regarding the benefits, they are
reflective numbers that show up at night and are a help to City services I
and private citizens. He was not�sure how�the winter would effect the numbers
because he never did this in ihis kind of climate before. His previous �
experience with this was in San Die90 and Arizona.
i
REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 18, 1979 PAGE 8
19? .
Councilwanan Moses stated that then the City wouid pay nothing and Mr. Rice
would do all the collecting> etc. All he needs is permission.
Mr. Rice stated that was correct. He stated that he lives in Isanti and
Edina is further aw�y from him than Fridley so it would be more economical
for him to work in Fridley.
Councilman Schneider stated that the notice indicated that people should
send it back if they don't want it. He asked why they couldn't ask people
if they want it.
Mr. Rice stated that depended on the process he used. This way seems
...... to work best for him. The majority of the people like it.
�Mr. Sobiech asked Mr. Rice what kind of complaints he received. �-
Mr. Rice stated that some of them were that the people didn't ask for it,
they didn't like the looks of it�, it creates a bad effect with the biack
and white numbers going down the street and some people didn't want to be
the same as everyone else.
Mayor Nee stated that this was done in the past in Fridley and he didn't
recall any complaints.
Mr. Herrick stated that he understood that the police and fire departments
said it was helpful. He wasn't sure how long the numbers lasted. �
Mr. Sobiech stated this was done in 1970, 1974, and 1976. and seem to
last two to four years.
Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Rice if he could give people a week to
respond to the notice. -
Mr. Rice stated that most people resond within the firsC day. If Council
wanted him to 9'ive people a week, he would, but it would be easier for him
to continue as he has in the past which would he to give Feople only one
or two days.
Councilwoman Moses stated that if people are on vacation or simply don't
see the notice the first two days, �t would be better if they had a week.
She asked if five days would be too many?
Mr. Rice stated that would make it more difficult.
Mr. Qureshi stated that he felt there was some value to having numbers
on the curbs but also had several concerns. His first concern was that they
were using implied consent by the City and secondly, if the numbers are
painted, some people would feel obligated to pay for it.
Councilman Schneider a9reed and stated that he had no problem withthe
request except that if someone is on vacation and comes home to find the
numbers painted they might resent it that someone invaded their privacy.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he didn't agree with Mr. Qureshi's
statement about implied consent. The notice made it quite clear that this
was a private enterprise.
Councilman Barnette stated that if it was done before and nobody objected,
it didn't seem likely they would object now.
Mr. Herrick stated that he didn't recall any objections.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to approve the request to paint house numbers
on curbs with the stipulation that Mr. Rice distribute the notices, 9iving
people three days to respond, paint the numbers and make collection. Also,
the notice must be approved by City Staff and the whole City will have the
opportunity to receive the service in order to make it uniform. Seconded
by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor� Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.
REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 1&, 1979 PAGE 9
193
Mr. Sobiech stated they received a notice from the Environmental Protection I
Agency (EPA) and also concern from Covnciiman Schneider regarding certain �
proposed noise rules and regulations from the EPA regulating railroad �
properties. The Minnesota Pollution control Ngency (P1PCA) has reviewed the i
proposed regulations in detail and gave them a copy of the draft they
propose to give to the EPA. Generally, they are saying that they don't feel i
the EPA even has the authority to propose these rules and regulations as far �
� as health standards. Secondly, one of their main concerns was that �
there is Z4 hour monitoring of these facilities which could over tax I
staffing and local resources. The necessary equipment involves certain com- �
puter type programming and quite sophisticated equipment which the MPCA '
comments that they don't even know if it exists. If it does it would be ratfier �
costly. Their other cortrrent was that the noise standards that are being proposed '
are not as restrictive as existing State and Local standards. The MPCA feels that
the local jurisdictions, perhaps the State, would be better able to monitor and
� propose certain ordinances which would regulate the health standards of their own �
cortmunities. The also drafted a letter which they wi11 forward to the EPA in-
dicating their concerns. We feel genera7ly that the standards do not henefit
the community and perhaps might in the long run prove detremental. He stated ��
they have proposed an action similar to what they understand Minneapolis is �
going to do . They are going to indicate their concern for the proposed
ruTes and regulations and urge the EPA to take into account the cormients
from the MPCA.
Councilman Schneider asked who they would send the resolutions to?
Mr. Sobiech stated they would send iC to same docket number and railroad commission �
that is on the MPCA comments.
Mr. Herrick stated that he understood that the noise regulation discussion
will be before the MPCA at their next meetin9. He stated he would take their
input to that meeting.
Mr. Sobiech stated there was a July 2nd deadline on receiving input.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopt Resolution No. 89-1979. Seconded
by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Councilman Schneider stated that it was his understandino that the EPA is
proposing some regulations which would circumvent the local and State regulations
regardin9 noise levels that are allowable in railroad yards.� And further, it
would require some significant different types of ineasuring ;vhich would establish
a higher ratio of noise levels.
Mr. Qureshi stated that when the railroad yard was expanded in Fridley, they
put quite stringent requirements on it and this has worked rather well.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, M�yor Nee declared the motion carried

Mr. Sobiech stated the resolution was to advertise for bids for the repair of
some recording and tota7izer equipment for Commons Filtration Plant. We have
had the experience over the past several years of some, what we feei, exorbitant
costs related to this equipment and also the distressing fact that we can no
longer get therepair parts for the existin9 equipment. This wasn't all that bad
equipmentfwerarevreplacing is then�recordingeanditotalizing9ofPourtconsumptioneof
our wa'ter system. We utilize these records not lonly for processing the state of
I� our consumption throughout the year but also in �nitoring the wells to indicate
where we might have problems where preventative maintenance might have to be
� performed.
Mayor Nee asked wily it says repair instead of replace?
Mr. Sobiech stated it was a part of a total meter system where we are repairing I
the meter but replacing a certain recorder and totalizer. Perhaps we should
change it to maintenance of the recording and totalizer equipment. . I
Councilman Schneider asked if this was budgeted for? I
I
Mr. Sobiech stated that it was not specifically budgeted for but was under the i
maintenance section for repair and maintenance of a general nature. ,

proposed acceasory building would be 16 x 22 which is approxi.mately 352 square 1�
feet. The proposed use ia atorA�e and at this time there are no plans for an
accesa� however� there is adequate room available for a driveway, Staff would ,
have no ob;jection to this request as long as the building is used for storage
and not a home occixpation or livint3 quarters,
Mr• Oquist stated that t�m, Franzen had indicated that the second accessory building
Would not fall within the utility easement but noted that it was close to it.
Mr. Franzen gave the Cor�issioners a more detailed plan of the proposed construction.
Ms. Hughes asked what the £irst accessory building wasY
�'. Franzen,stated the first accessory building was the existing two-car garage.
Ms. Schnabel acked Mr, Franzen if the purpose of the second accessory building
was for storage only7
�. Franzen stated that was correct and StafY had no objection as long as it was
used for any use other than a home occupation.
Mr. Robert Carlson, 151 62nd Way NE� came forward and stated that it would be a .
detached garage.
Ms. Schnabel asked Mr, Carlson vt�y he needed a'storage building of this size7
Mr. Carlson stated tbat his existing garage is 19 x 22 and he has two cars. It
toys�etc.� Beca�se of this�congestion�ahe wouldslike a buildingefor�storageools�
M s. Sc h na bel asked Mr, Carlson if he had ar�y plans, now or in the futuxe� to use
the proposed building as a garage and convert the,existing garage into living spaCe?
Mr. Carlson stated he had no plans to do that and also that he was not planning
to put in a driveway,
Ms. Schnabel asked 2�, Carlson if he would be doing the construction himself?
Mr. Carlson stated he planned ta do the cement xork and would have a carpenter to
help with the other work.
Ms. Hughes asked if it would be garage construction with an overhead door?
Mr. Carlson stated tkiat he intended to put an overhead door on the west side and
it would be regulqr garage construction with trusses Por the roof, .
Mr. Harris asked iP he was going to put the werhead door on the west side?
Mr. Cerlson stated that vas correct.
Mr. Iiarris asked if that wouldn't be tight to get in and out if he decided to use
it as a garage? .
Mr. Carlson stated he had no intetttion to use it aa a garnge..
.�
`�' PLANNING COMMISSION MINUP�S, NiE 6, 1979 ' PACE 3-
Mr. Carleon slso atated that there is 19 feet there.
Mr. Horris.stated they uaually Pigure that it takea about 20 feet for an euto-
mobile.
Nfr. Carlson reiterated that he did aot intend to u�e it t'or atoring a car.
Mr. Aarris asked Mr. Carlson if he would object moving it slight�y to the east and
asked how far he would be willing to go?
Mr. Carlson stated he could go east another foot. He added that he had decided
on the placemen£ of the �arage because of the window placement in his house.
Mr. Harris asked how high the structure would be?
A4r. Carlson stated there would be regular 16 foot trusses. It would be built on a
cement base which would be about 2 inches o£Y ground level. There will be 8 foot
2x4s running from the cement up, so the building would be about 8 ft. 2 in. from
ground level to the eaves.
Mr. Harris asked Mr, Carlson if he had talked to a�y of his neighbors?
Mr. Carlson st�ted he had talked to all of them and they had no comment. He stated
that he had heard that someone had second thoughts but he apparently decided to
go along with it. He stated that the proposed building would have the same siding
as his house and he would construct it in such a way that it would add to the looks
of the property.
Mr. Harris stated that he was concerned about movin; the garage to the east because
if it was ever used to store an automobile� it would be much easier to get in and
out without encroaching on lu s neighbor's property. They figure that an automobile
parking place is 10 x 20.
Mr. Carlson stated he would be willing to move it a foot.
Mr. Aarris stated that 2 feet would be better.
Mrs. Carlson stated that there is a 6 foot hedge along the neighbor's property
that would make it impossible for them to go over on their property. .
Mr. Aarris stated thst at some point they might want to use the building for a
garage and being that close to the hedge would make it di£ficult to get in and out.
Mr. Oquist asked if be decided on a i6 x 22 foot building because he p2anned to
use it for a garage ia the future7 He stated that most storage buildings are
8x8or8x]2.
i
Mr. Carlson s tated that the people he had.talked to about it suggested he figure
what he needs and tben add a little. '

Mr. Carleon stated it Would be 25 feet.
Mr. Harris atated the plan indicated about 26 feet and noted that it wae a good
size lot.
Mr. Carlson stated that another reason wl�y he placed it where he did was because
of existing trees. He did not want to have to remove ar�y trees. He added that
movfng it east 2 feet would not hurt it at aLl.
Ms. Hughes asked Mr, Harris iY he was sure the building should be moved?
Mr. Harris stated that because of the 6 foot hedge� moving it over 2 feet would
�give him more room. � -
Ms. Hughes asked if that would be a stipulation?
Mr. Fiarris stated it would.
Ms. Schnabel stated that the 20 Yeet was based on an existing ordinance which was
written when the average car was bigger than what they are now.
Mr. Barris stated it was sti11 tight even Por a small car. He stated it wou2d be
a one car garage and would be tight. Also� the other house at 6211 Riverview
Terrace sits rather close and there wasn't much back yard there.

2. PROPOSAL FOR A"C�NTRAL CENfER FOR FAMILY RESOURCES" - Dean Sabby and
Lee Carlson, Spring Lake Park Human Rights Couunission:
Mr. Sabby staeed that he and Ms. Carlson were representing the Central Center
for Family.Resources. The Center came aboue as the result of a new Spring Lake
Park Community Center. To build the cormnunity center, the City of Spring Lake
Park needed federal monies and Jim Oberstar stated he would back this program
if the City would provide some community resources rooms in the building.
So, Spring Lake Park huilt the community center and had four offices designated
for a community service-type program. Following that, a task force was set
up of representatives from the schools, churches, couununity members, law
enforcement people. '
Mr. Sabby stated this was approximately one year ago and at that time, he
was with the Spring Lake Park School District in the counseling capacily in
the Guidance Department. He represented the•schools in this L-ask force. The
task force looked first at the needs of Spring Lake Park. They felt that was
much too limiting and, because the school district encompasses part of Fridley
and part of Blaine, they decided it would be best to set up a program that
would meet the needs of the whole community, Spring Lake Park, Blaine,and. '
Fridley.
Mr. Sabby stated that the Advisory Board gave input as to what was necessary
for a co�unity program. He stated that both Jim Sprungman and Tim Turnbull
of the Fridley Police Department were very helpful.
Mr. Sabby stated that Blaine's statistics for 1978 indicated that out of 783
arrests, over 500 were juveniles. He thought Northtown had contributed to
that as a lot of shoplifting occurred there. Larceny was also a big item.
He stated that Spring Lake Park's statistics for 1978 indicated 170 jUVenile
arrests (approximately 20% of actual offenses occurring).
Mr. Sabby stated that Jim Sprungman, Fridley Police Department, had provided
statistics for the first quarter of 1979 in Fridley. These statistics indicated
919 total reported offenses, 113 juvenile arrests. Of the juvenile arrests,
23 were handled within the Police Department and 90 were referred to Anoka
County Services.
Mr. Sabby stated he was showing these statistics to the Planning Commission,
because in the process of deciding on a program, they needed to know what
was happening in the community. As a result of that information, along with
the input from the schools, churches, police deparlments, etc., they decided
on the following program: •
l
ON MI:ETING JUNE 20, 1979 PAGE 3 • 4 B
Conduct parenting programs.
Mr. Sabby stated that since going to the Human Resources Co�mnission
meeting on June 7, Onan Corporation had funded $1,500 to the Center
for Jean Clark's parenting program, "Self-Esteem - A Family Affair"
This will be one program which will start in August or early
September.
Ms. Carlson stated that one other reason they selected Ms. Clark's
program was because a portion of that program trains facilitators
that remain in the community.
2. Conduct parent discussion groups for parents of children in K- 3.
Mr. Sabby stated that Fridley was very fortunate to have an elementary
counselor, Mr. Tony Krall. Mr. Krall was a big influence in getting
this program going, and Mr. Krall was very eager to share this
information with them. This program would be oftered in School
District 16.
Mr. Sabby stated that the main purpose of their program was
preventative--getting to the parents and L-t� families when they
can still have an impact before the children get into trouble.
3. Conduct discussion groups for parents of children in upper
elementary grades.
Mr. Sabby stated that the stage before adolescence is very frustrating
for parents. This program would be available to B1air,e, Spring Lake
Park, and Fridley..
4. Family counseling
S. .^,ED (Guidance Equivalency Degree) Training Center
6. Coordinate with other social service agencies and bring resource
people into Che community.
A• Probation officer
B. Battered women's group (Mr. Sabby stated that the battered
women's group was already in one of the offices and they
operate a 24-hour telephone hotline.)
C. Social worlcer
D. Drus counselor
7. Determine additional needs of community through needs assessment.
Mr. Sabby stated that the parentinS programs
the two tltings they were mos[ intcrested in
and the family counseling were
providing in the prevention area.

Mr. Sabby staL-ed that it was difficult in get LEAA funding (which is law
enforcement funding at �he stal-e level), because tliey like facta and
staListics. So, the iirst step is to get the community's support. If
the community is behind the program, the state is more liable to come up
with some matching funds for the program. Mr. SabUy stated that is why '
they are unique and why they are trying to get the local support first
before even seeking LEAA funding.
Mr. Sabby stated that most of Fridley's referrals go to Don Wegscheider,
Director of Human Services at North Suburban Family Services Center.
Mr. Sabby stated he worked closely with Mr. Wegscheider because they wanted
to make sure there were not being redundant. Mr. Wegscheider was very
supportive and sees the Center as being able to refer also, because North
Suburban is more in the treatment area.
Ms. Schnabel asked about what type of financing the Center could get from
Anoka County.
Ms. Carlson stated they were working with the County. Another possibility
was mental health grants and aids-type funding. They were researching all
possibilities at the County level. The last state legislature had appropriated
a large increase into the whole health area, but the County was not totally
sure about all the criteria for hoca the money is to be spent and the actual
breatcdown. She stated they would be working closely with the County as these
decisions are made.
Mr. Sabby stated he wanted the Covmiission to understand ti�at they were not
asking for long term funding for this Center. They wanted local funding to
get the program off the ground, because they feel it will be very successful.
Mr. Langenfeld asked what the Center's goal was as far as dollars?
Mr. Sabby stated that, initially, they set $25,000 Por the first year. to
operate on a half-time basis.
Ms. Carlson stated that their budgeting has to reflect both long range goals
and the actual money in hand. They feel they are now in a safe area in being
able to function well in the first year. Ho�vever, they would like more money
to be able to fund another half-time counselor (in addition to Mr. Sabby) for
at least this year. She stated for state monies, the grant has to be written
the beginning of July, a proposal has to be in by the end of September, and
funds are allocated as of Jaiw ary 1, 1980. So, within their fiscal year,
July 1- June 30, 1980, there is the possibility of another influx on that
lev^1. They wanted to be totally open as to where they can reasonably antici-
pate funding and where they are going to attempt to get funding. In Cerms of
program development, some of it will Ue �.ritten in the form of grants to
specific corpora[ions for specific program$. Their plan is to build a very
solid base of support in the local community.

Mr. Narris stated he had been on the Planning Commission for seven years,
and he felt he had heard all this before. He stated that a couple of years
ago, SACA (Southern Anoka County Assistance) had presented a similar proposal
Tlie City had funded aome money to that organization and now what had happened
to itY ,
Mr. Treuenfels stated that he understood that SACA is still in existence
and provides a referral service which evaluates cases that come in and refers
them to appropriate agencies. He felt they did commendable work. He did not
feel there would be an overlapping of services between SACA and the Central
Center for Family Resources.
Ms. Iiughes concurred with Mr. Treuenfels. She knew people involved in SACA
and did not see this as a duplication of services.
Mr. Langenfeld asked i£, in their needs assessment, they had tried to analyze
how they might affect other similar projects or how other projects might
affect them?
Ms. Carlson stated they had, that they had contacted all area services in
comparing and researching their programs and how these other programs related
to them as far as any overlapping.
Ms. Hughes stated the real problem with this kind of program was going to be
in its evaluation. Prevention was not going to show up for sometimes 13 years
after a child was born.
. Ms. Carlson stated it almost required a longitudinal study. They had
talked about the possibility of writing a research grant to have someone do
that type of study.
Ms. Hughes stated that what they are likely to see come out of this is the
output kind of ineasures and not the real outcome of the program, whi^h will
not show up for a period of time. It seemed to her that if this kind of
program can be of any use at all, the value in just human resources was going
to be so great and worth the gamble and certainiy worth a feca thousand doll.ars.
Mr. Boardman shated he would like to see organizations like this gather some
statistics that can be used for the planning process. He thought one of the
key elements in a program like this was not only helping people, but loolcing
for data and statistics that could be used for pianning.
Mr. Harris aslced how they would be interacting witl� the Anoka County Welfare
B oa rd?
Mr. Sabby stated they had two people on their Advisory Board who would
represent that area as far as interaction..
Ms. SchnaUel stated she felt this was the kind of program that Anolca County
should be involved in. If tlie County felt it was a badly needed program,
then the County should be coming up wil'h some dollars.

program could prevent fifteen young-
in tax dollars, they would certainly
Ms, Carlson stated that if they can prevent a few cases of child abuse,
it would certainly be well worth it in human terms.
Mr. Treuenfels stated that the Human Resources Commission was impressed
with this proposal, but had some questions similar to those voiced by the
Planning Cocmnission members. He referred to page 5 of the Human Resources
Commission minutes. The Human Resources Con�ission felt they could be of
service by getting some background information regarding the availability
of services in this area. They would present this information to the Planning
Commission.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Sabby and Ms. Carlson how much money they would be
requesting from the City of Fridley?
Mr. Sabby stgted that the City of Blaine had contributed $5,000; the Spring
Lake Park Lions Club had contriUuted $5,000; the Spring Lake Park VFW had
contributed $6,000; and Onan had contributed $1,500 for the parenting program.
They would like to request $5,000 from the City of Fridley.
Mr. Harris stated he would like the Planning'Commission to table this item
until the Huuian Resources Commission could come back with the background
information and until Staff could research on where the City was budget-
wise, so that all the information would be ready to go on to City Council.
Mr. Sabby stated that sounded very fair to them. Mr. Sabby and Ms. Carlson
stated that if there were any questions in the meantime, they could be reached
mornings at 780-3036. (Lee Carlson's home phone: 786-3884. Dean Sabby's
home phone: 757-5248) They also extended an invitation for the Planning
Commission members to stop by and see their facility.
Mr. Boardman stated he felt very encouraged by this program. He thought a
lot of things �aere happening with the pressures of today, social pressures,
and different needs within the community. He felt it was the City's
responsibility, as well as the County's and everybody's responsibility to
try to find out what those pressures are and how to deal with those kinds
of pressures. With this preventative-type of program, they may be aUle to
get some facts and figures and do something about the pressures that might
be causin� some of the proUlems in this society. He felt it was very
important that this program be followed through, No matter what the recommenda-
tion is on this proposal, he felt there should be a strong recommendation
th�:t some people sit down at all Levels and try to work out so:�e coordination,
at least within Anoka County, as to what is going on.
Ms. Hughes stated she c,as very encouraged about this kind of program and
in this area. She lcnew people wlio �aould go far distances for this kind of
counscling. She had knocun Afs. Carlson for many years and had confidence in
everything she was involved in. She stated she knew some of the members on
the Aduisory Board and was very encouraged by that.

A general strategy for iaying out the entire document with an overall compre-
hensive plan map will be at the beginnino of the document instead of the

goals, objectives, and policy statements.
Mr. Boardman 5tated that, at this point, they had not yet decided what to do
with the inventory. It had been suggested at the Environmental Quality
Counnission meeting that the inventory be put in a separate document.
Mr. Bo2rdman stated they hoped to have the revised docur,ient completed and

Mr. Boardman stated that again, on this page, the comment from the Appeals
Commission was that this area shoukibe "except for R1 and R2".
G- 1. Change "25 feet" to "20 feet"
I. Truck Berths, 9�2: Loading and unloading facilities are to be located
in the rear yard; or side yard if properly screened by a solid 6-foot fence,
substantial construction or other screening approved by the Zoning Administrator,"
Mr. Harris asked Mr. lioardman if he thought a 6-foot high solid screen fence
was going to do much good in these particular situations?
Mr. Boardman stated they had not much luck as far as screening. They preferred
to get the loading and unloading facilities in the rear yard, but they could
not always get them in the rear yard, So, they tried to screen as closely
as possible. He thought they had been doing that with landscaping rather
than a fence.
Mr. Harris stated that, from his experience, he felt those 6-foot solid screen
fences seem ta be junk collectors.
Mr. Boardman suggested they reword �62 to read: "Loading and unloading
facilities are to be located in the rear yard or side yard i£ properly screened."
Mr. Boardman stated the Commission might want to talk about what constitutes
a"loading znd unloading facility", Should they write soir,ething like "loading
and unloading dock facilities should be located in tiie rear yard?"
Mr. Harris stated that it taas not always possible to have L-hem ].ocated in
the rear yard, When you are talking about a loading facility, you are talking
about a lot more than a truck berth.
Mr. Boardman stated that mapbe in 4k2, they should talk about "outside loading
and unloading docl:s must be in the rear yard", because l'hey were concerned
mainly aUout docks, and leave �`k3 as it is.
Mr. Harris agreed with that.

PLANNING COMMISSION MGCTING� JUNE 20, 1979 PAGE 9
Mr. Harris stated he had problems with that statement. What was the
definition of "all materials and equipment"4 Did this mean a person had
to screen his boat sitting along side his house, or a snowmobile, or
recreational vehicles, trailers, stacked firewood,etc.1
Mr. Boardman stated there were a lot of prohlems with that, and he did not
really know how they could control those problems.
Mr. Harris stated he also had problems with, "fully screened, so as not Co be
visible from any public right-of-way or adjoining property". He felt it
depends on the situation and location. For example, it was impossible for
Carter-Day to screen their large equipment. It did not m ake sense to have
a 6-foot high fence and try to screen a 15-foot trailer. It gets very
expensive to store that kind of equipment. ,
Mr. Boardman stated that Mr. Harris had asked the qsestion of what constitutes
"all mal'erials and equipment". If a resident wants to store material or has
objectionable material, the resident should he required to either move that
material or have it screened. Right now they can only go in on a public
nuisance violation and tao the violator.
Mr. 2larris stated there was another problem not yet discussed and that was
tlie amount of vandalism in Fridley. It was 'tremendous. The solid screened
areas are beautiful--you can't see a thing, including the police! He said
it bothered him that the City is always telling the business, homeowner, and
property owner to do this and this and this. Everytime, we turn around and
try to protect ourselves, the City seems to ceme up with another ordinance or
another idea such as solid screened fencing and nice shrubbery. The City wants
screening and the police say they can't see in where a11 the stuff is, so
someone is going to have to make up his mind.
Ms. Hughes stated she agreed with Mr. Harris. There were economic impacts
on this, for example, requiring garages and off-street parkino that �ncourages
people to drive rather than use mass transit and,some other things she had
problems with in a zoning ordinance.
Mr. Oquist stated that on one hand, it is costly and has some affect on
vandalism. On the other hand, if you don't screen somehow, particularly in
residential areas, there is going to be all kinds of debris for people tu
look at. •
Ms. Schnabel stated that lack of screening can also sometimes be a public
nuisance.
Mr. Harris stated he agreed. Where residential areas were involved, he was
all for preserving the neighborhood, but that did not seem to be happening.
PLANNING COMMISSION M(iETING, JUNC 20 1979 PAGE 10 4 I
Ms. Schnabel stated she goes back to the fact that if there was not an
ordinance like this, the City would not have any authority to require screening
for Lhe thin�s tliat really needed screening. There are certain visual
pollution things she thought ought to be screened, and there were many
examples in Fridley.
Mr. Boardman stated he thought you could screen the majority of clutter from
the visual line with a 6-foot high fence. The question was: What do you
want to screen or what can you require to be screened without requiring all
outside storage to be screened?
Mr. Harris stated that maybe the screening situation should be looked at on
a zoning basis as to what can be required in a co�ercial zone, Pfl zone,
and M2 zone,
Mr. Boardman stated the problem with that is there is so much scattered
zoning throughout the entire city.
Ms. Schnabel suggested that Mr. Harris come up with some wording that would
better state what he would like to see in that portion of the zoning ordinance
and bring it back to the Planning Canmission.
Mr. Harris agreed and stated that maybe he and Mr. Boardman could sit down
and try to work something out. •
MOTION by Mr. Langenfeld, seconded by Mr. Treuenfels, to continue discussion
on Proposed Changes to Chapter 205. Zoning. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Chairperson Aarris declared the motion carried unanimously. ,
6. OTHER BUSINESS:
A. Northtocun Corridor River Crossing
Ms. Hughes stated she would like to alert the Commission about this
item. The Parks & Recreation Commission was aware of it and were
going to iollow up on it. She stated that MnDOT, Dletropolitan Council,
Anol:a County, Hennepin County, and some neighboring communities have
been involved in the study of the Northtown Corridor and the crossing .
of the Mississippi River. This study saas entitled, "First Level
Evaluation of Alternatives of Thoroughfare 610" dated February 1979 and
prepared by Bather, Ring'rose, & Wolsfeld (BRW).
Ms. }iughes stated the consultant had an informal hearing in Coon Rapids
on June 11. One of the alternative crossings of the river was going
across at 85th Ave. in Fridley, the southern route. This crossing
would come very close to North Partc.
Ms. Hughes stated that the Parks & Recreation Commission would like to
ask the City to look into Lhis situation in much greater detail and
to find out cahat is actually happening. Thcy were really asking the
City to join in the study, if tliat caas stili possible.
1I J
PLANNING Cdb1MISSION MIiPTING JUNE 20 1979 PAGE 11
Mr. Langenfeld stated he thought it was strange that the City did not
know about the meeting until the very day it took place,
Ms. Hughes stated that what had happened was that sometime in the past,
Fridley had made the decision not to join in on this particular review.
Mr. Langenfeld stated L-hat the Environmental Quality Commission talked
about this at their meeting on June 19, and they came to the conclusion
that Staff would evaluate the EIS and all the on-crnning procedures and
inform the Environmental Quality Coimnission accordingly, rather than the
EQC making decisions on piecemeal information.
Mr. Boardman stated that from what he understood, there were actually
three alternatives; a northerly crossing, a southeriy crossing, or no
crossing. None of these alternatives actually came within the City of
Frfdley's land per se. The soutlierly crossing goes north of Breckenridge
Island and connects either into the new realigned Highway 10 or the old
Highway 10 north of the Northtown area. The concerns the City may have
is what the environmental impacts of that southerly crossing will be on
Fridiey as far as noise pollution, and an EIS has not yet been done on it.
Mr. Boardman stated that he and Mr. Qureshi were involved in the Management
Task Force in the Northtown Corridor Study in 1974-75. They had opted
out of the continuing Task Force, primarily because all the access points
and all of the Land acquisition was taking place in Coon Rapids, Blaine,
and communities to the west. The Task Force would have involved a city
expenditure of cost for hiring the consultant. They felt at that point
in time that the City did not real.ly need to get involved in the actual
hiring of the consultant �ahen rridley was not going to be affected by
any acquisition of City property. That decision was made because the
corridor area was going to go north of rridley. What they should do now
is just keep very cLose tabs un the thing and keep a close watch on the
EIS.
Mr. Boardman stated there was also a concern expressed by the Environmental
Quality Commission about the new alignment of Highway 10 just north of the
old Highway 10. That is in the process of an EIS. Within the EIS,
the Department of Natural Resources was talking about the disruption of
wetlands and how it is going to affect the two creeks off of which the
wetlands feed. One of L-hese creeks is Spring Brook Creek. So, the City
is very concerned about that EIS.
Mr. Langenfeld stated he gets rather upset with the Department of
Natural Resources because of the conflict with them over the wetlands
in the North Imisbruck area v:rsus laws, etc. He really felt that the
Planning Commission should think about a statement made at the Last
Environmental Quality Commission that, in the event the City did not
get involved in preliminary hearinbs, they could lose scope and a few
other essential grips on whae is talcing place. He really felt the City
should become involved almost yesterday.
• �E IC
PLANNING COt�[MISSION Mfi.IiTINC JUNii 20 1979 PAGT3 12
Mr. Boardman stated he felt it was very difficule at this time for the
CiCy to get into the Management Task Force because of the expenditure
of monies and that type of thing. That was tlie purpose of the Management
Task Yorce. He thought the main involvement should and will come in
evaluating some of the things that come up,
Ms. Hughes stated she just wanted the Planning Commission to be aware of
this problem and to be ready to follow whatever information comes from
Staff.
-----------------
Mr. HaYris stated that the Planning Cormnission had the information
requested from Staff on the Nitschke request for a three-unit townhouse
development. The Cit-y Council has asked the Planning Commission to examine
that and give them a new set of proposals for a possiUle ordinance change
and how to handle any further requests of that kind.
Mr. Boardman stated he thought the City Council had tabled the Nitschke
request and sent it back to the Planning Commission for further study
on all types of issues Like this. He stated he o�ould probably want to
sit down with the city attorneys to see what can and cannot be legally
done as to restricting property use. .
Mr. Harris stated this whole subject should again be put on the P12nning
Commission agenda.

B. STATED HARDSI�IP:
Bnilding site is bordered on th.ree sides by streets
C. ADI�SINISTRATIVE STAF'P REVIES4:
The site is bowided on three sides by public right of v:ays which does
render the siie very difficult to build on with a commercial building
and still provide suffi_cient parking without some Code variances. The
staff has no stipulations st would recommend if the Board recommended
the approval of ihe variances requested, .
Mr. Langseth gave the Co�issioners a copy of the plans.
Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Clark wby there were two dif£erent drawings?
Mr. Clark stated that the petitioner� Mr. Langseth� had talked to the Planning
Department that morning.. A change was made in_the size of the building. The
drawing in the agends indicated a building size oi 90 x 40. The drawing they
brought in this morning showed a size of 110 x 45 and was later reduced to 108 x
�+3, They building they should consider here would be 108 x 43. The only variance
afPected would be the one on the :,outh and it would reduce that one from 17 to 15.
So� instead o£ reducing the parking setback Yrom 20 to 17 feet as stated in the
notice� it would reduce it from 20 to 15 feet.
Ms. Gabel stated that she thought that would require another notice.
APPF.ALS COMMISSION MEE"PING, JUNE 6, 1979 PAGE 3 4 ��
Mr. Clark stated that he understood that Mr. Boardman had talked to the City
Attorney about this. If they have an existing condition, and right now the
existing condition is zero, and as long as the new condition is more than what
is presentl,y there� they would not need e variance.
Ms. Gabel stated that she would still question this because they had never done
this before. She noted that this woul.d be going to Council and suggested they
ask Mr. Herrick for a legal opinion on this before it goes to Council.
Mr. Langseth stated that the plans were close to what was proposed snd also stated
that they do meet the code requirements for the parking and for the drive-throughs.
They increased the size oP the building strictly from an economic stand point. He
stated that as far as the variances go, the onl,y one a£fected was the one Idr.
C].ark had referred to. Ae also stated that they don't have bumper to bumper, in
other woxds� the two rows of parking would go to the berm. Right now� the asphalt
does go to.the property line and they would create a berm that would be landscaped
and would be in line with what's on the other side of the property. Mr. Boardman
mentioned today that at the existing opening there is present],y a median and he
suggested that when the new service road comes in around the future Super America
Gas Station� they move their ingress and egress to that point also. This would
avoid traffic problems.
Ms. Gabel asked if the new size of the building would stay under the 4�, lot
coverage requirement?
Mr. Langseth stated it would. The lot is 19�000 square Peet and the building
would be 4�64�+ square feet. The lot is 175 x 120 square feet.
Mr. Plemel asked if they were going to tear down the existing building?
Mr. Iangseth stated they would tear it down. Ae stated that everythin� would cone
down and it would be a decorative lot. It presently is designated as office-retail,
but they do not have a definite tenant at this tivae.
Ms. Gabel asked wk�y 57th Place was the front yard when the narrow side of the lot
is supposed to be the front?
Mr. Clark stated that they couldnTt get access off Highway �+7. He also stated that
on double frontage lots it states they must have 35 feet off both streets.
Mr. Iangseth stated that in this case� they were bounded on three sides by streets
and if they had to go 35 feet on all three sides� they would not be able to put a
building there. He stated that what they tried to do off the service road is create
the best possible image.
Mr. Clark stated that it wouldn�t make any difference because they still have to
be 35 feet to the building and 20 feet to the p$rking.
Ms. Gabel aeked if they had ar{y tenantsT
APPEALS CONB�ffSSION MEETING, JifiIE 12, 1979 PAGE 4

Mr. Langseth atated they did not have ar{y definite tenants, but were talking
to people. The Wenchell Donut proposal Yell through. They were looking at
office-retail and would meet the parking requirements. In other words� they
covldn't have a 140 seat restaurant. They would have more than enough parking
Por a 36 seat Mr. Donut and the rest offices. That is their intent at this
time, If they uaed al.l the space for o£fice� they wou]d definite�y have enough
parking.
Ma. Gabel asked if the rezoning would be G2S?
Mr. Clark stated it would be C-2.
Mr. Langseth pointed out that only one lot was involved in the rezoning. The
other three lots were already C-2.
Ms. Gabel asked if the pink house would be part of this?
Mr. Langseth stated it would not and that the pink house had 3z lots. He stated
their idea was not to put something there that would be sbrasive� but� considering
the lot� they would put something tMat would be economical],y feasible.
Mr. Clark asked if they could funetion without the egress onto 57th Place. Iie
stated there was a problem with people driving through the exist3ng station even
though it is posted that they shouldn't. . '
Mr. Langseth stated that they way it would be desi�ned with the berm and the side-
walk� they would not be able to drive straight through� they would have to make
a jog of about 60 feet to get back out onto 57th Avenue. The one problem they
would have is with a tenant on the end� that tenant would prefer facing University
Avenue and would like their door on the west side. It would be an asset to have
an in and out there so there would not be congestion for the parkers. What might
happen is that the west side parking would become congested as far as in and out
goes. They would have to take what is possible and the best thing for the building
would be to leave t1�at open and deal with the traffic problem by moving, as Mr.
Boardman suggested, the opening to direct line it. There is almost 175 feet on
the east line of the property. He noted there was a curb on the west end of the
sauth parking that is the length of a vehicle. If they went around there� it
wouldn't be like it is now. From their standpoint, it would be better to leave
it open, but if it becomes a problem, that would be different. If it were all
o£fice space� there probably wouldn�t be a�y reason to leave it open� but if
they have a tenant like I�. Donut, they would want it open.
Ms. Gabel noted there were only 21 parking spaces and asked how the rat3o was
fig�ed?
Mr. Clark stated that the ratio for a restaurant they required i stall ior every
4 seats and for an office they required 1 stall for each 250 Peet of office spsce.
So� for a 36 seat restaurant, they would need 9 stalls� and £or a building o£
this size for o£fice� they would need 12 stalls.
Mr. Langseth noted that 20� to 25� of the of£ice space would be used for storage�
etc,

Mr. Clark reminded Mr. Langseth about the restroom requirerrente.
Mr. Barna asked Mr. I.angseth if they would try to have leases signed on all three
sections before they begin constructionY
Mr. Langseth stated he was not sure� but no matter what, they were proceeding.
Ae noted they had put about 100 hours work so iar into this.
Ms. Gabel noted that they would have to keep in mind tbat they only had 21
parking stslls and there was no more room available to expand the parking. So
they would have to find tenants that would be compatible with the availabJ.e
parking. She also stated that she was concerned about the opening� and asked..
if they could label one o£ the opening� as an exit on7;y? .'.
Mr. Barna stated that most people would not try to exit on 57th because oY the
traffic.
Ms. Gabel asked if the Engineering Department had looked at thisY
Mr. Clark stated that it went through their office� and their comment was that
when the service drive is located going south� the driveway oif 57th would line
up. .
Mr. Langseth stated tk�at in regar3s to backing up and getting in and out, there
is more than adequate space available for mobility in the parking lot. They met
the code and were looked at by Mr. Boardman. He also stated that i£ they changed
the access ofP 57th Avenue� it would kill the deal. They must have the opportunity
to get in and out on 57th Avenue.
i�. Barna asked if Mr. Donut would have a service window on the west side?
Mr. Langseth stated they would not have a service window.
Ms. Gabel asked if they would have a free standing sign or if the building would
be signed?
Mr. Langseth stated that he understood they could have a PYlon sign which waxld
handle all three tenants and also the buildings would be signed.
Mr. Plemel asked if they would use the existing sign7
Mr. Langseth stated they would take that one down and the new one would be in
the green area. He stated they would have to follow the guidelines of the City.
Ms. Gabel asked about the existing lights?
Mr. I,angseth stated they would come down also.
Mr. Barna asked about the underground tanksY

This house is located on the corner of 45th Avenue and 2nd Street with
the house facinq 45th Aveuue. Technically the front yard is on 2nd

facing 2nd Street and is set bacY, the requirc3 35 feet but there is
approximately 38 feet between the addition and this sL-ructure to avoid
reducing the "line of signt".
Mr. Nedegaard gave the Coffinissioners a c�py of his plans. Ee stated that he
faced 45th Avenue and would like a 10 foot variance which would make it 25 feet
off 2nd Street rather than 35 feet.
Ms. Gabel stated that even though Mr, Nedegaard faces 45th Avanue� 2nd Street
was em sidered the front yard because it is the narrow part of tl:e lot. She
noted that it was a nice house and well kept.
Mr. Clark stated the house across the street had done the same thing.

The existing attached single car garage is 10 feet from north property
line,and they wish to add on a 7 foot garage addition that woul3 be
only 3 feet- from the line. The neighbor's house to the north is 29 feet
from the coRUnon ].ot lineP which cvould leave more i:han the ]-.�. faot minimiun
requirement between adjoining garage and living areas.
Mr. Phillips stated that they had a suxvey of the neighbors house and he gave
the Co�mnissioners a rough sketch of the praposed addition. They took the survey
and measured 29 feet to his lot line. He stated that before he �ovght the house
there was a shed there and there �rere several 4 x k posts on the lot. Wh°n he
moved there� he tore down the shed and he nei�hbor.asked if he could put a fence
on the existing posts� so the £ence is about 6 inches into his lot line. It is
9 feet- 4 inches from the existing garage and 10 feet �+ inches to the lot line.
Ms. GaUel asked if the fence would be re�oved?
Mr. Phillips stated he would leave that to the option o£ the neighbors. I? the
neighbor wanted to move it over to his pro�erty iine or remove it� that wculd 'oe
fine. Mr. Phillips stated that he might hsve to dig it up and move it over� but
that would be up to the neighbor.
Ms. Gabel asked how big the addition would beY
Mr. Phillips stated that the existing garage door is 9£eet wide and a double
�arage door is 16 Peet wide� which would be a 7 foot diffexence. He was plannin�.

frwn the property line and if they move it out 7 feet it would be about 3 feet
4 inches £rom the property line.

Mr. Phillips stated it would be about 21 x 26. The garage is the entire width
and length o£ the house.
Mr. Plemel stated tHat it still wnuldn't be over]y wide?
Mr. Phillips stated that he has one small car and one regular size car and the

This letter is intended to followup our telephone con-
versation of Wednesday.regarding our client's currently out-
standing bill for materials and services supplied for the
improvements on the Islands of Peace property which is
apparently owned by the City of Fridley. As we discussed,
our client has been most patient, and perhaps too patient,
in attempting to resolve its outstanding account in an amicable
manner.
According to the information I have reviewed, our client
performed in accordance with the contract by which it was to be
paid the sum of $9,748.00. I am enclosing for your reference
a copy of the original contract together with a copy of the
invoice dated July 2, 1973. On this invoice, you will note that
periodic payments have been made by Islands of Peace and by the
City of Fridley. As of September 23, 1975, the balance of•the
account was $4,700.00. As ��ou can see by the enclosed statement
dated July 15, 1976, the account had increased as o£ that date
to $6,476.56 as a result of the agreed upon interest. Although
numerous promises have been made, no payments have been made on
this account since September, 1975.
Our client has discussed this matter on numerous occasions
with various members of the Fridley City Council and with the

Dear Sir:
As per our discussion of Friday we have not been paid
for the sidewalks we built for Islands of Yeace, Inc. in
1973. We thought that we were getting close to having some-
thing resolved last October when Carol Kukowski took over
as the new Treasurer of Islands of Peace. She has been most
cordial, but nothing is happening as far as paymen�.
I realize that Islands of Peace is a separate Corporate
structure, but there must be some guidance of the funding
by the City or State to see that bills are paid.
Please advise me on where or who to go to??

Nedegaard Construction Company, Inc, has been trying to get approval from
the City o£ Fridley to build a new house on a 40 foot wide lot at 4526-2nd,
Street Northeast since November 14, 19%8, but as of this date still is waiting
for the City to finish a court case with another party basically on the same
40 foot wide lo't issue. We have been approched by the neighbor on the south
side of this lot to purchase £rom them two addi'tional feet and thereby making
the lot size 42 feet wide. As a result we are asking the City of Fridley to
approve our request for building a 24 foot wide by 40 foot long house on this
lot. The previous variances would be changed to the £ollowingi
The required lot area be reduced from 7500 square feet to
$418 square feet, the front yard seth�.ck be reduced £rom
the required 35 feet to 30 feet, reduce the side yard set-
�cks, one from the required 10 feet to 6 feet, the other
from 13 feet to 12 feet and reduce the required floor area
from the required 1020 square feet to 960 square feet.

opened at 7:45 P.M.
Mr. Sobiech> Public Works Director, stated that this was a rezoning request for a
parcel of property located in the northeast quadrant of 63rd Avenue and Highway
No. 65. Lots 9 and 10 are presently zoned C-1 and Lot 11 is zoned CR-1. At the
present time, the Lift-Ski and Bike Shop exists there. The intention of the
petitioner is to rezone the property to C-2 which would permit a garden center
operation in the sumner time. t4r. Sobiech pointed out that with the rezoning
request, underfinal consideration of the rezoning request, which would be at cne .
next Council meeting, the Council would also consider at that time a request
for a Special Use Permit which would involve specifically the garden center
operation. The Planning Commission had a public hearing at their meeting of
Mdy 9, 1979, and recortmended to Council approval with stipulations.. The
stipulation is for a landscape plan and a schedule over a three year time
period be filed which would indicate further improvements of the property. .

and gutters, parking, etc. _
Councilman Schneider asked Scott Holmer, the.petitioner, if he planned to put
the fence on the north side of Lot 11 in imnediately.
Councilman Schneider stated that the concern that was raised at the Planning
Comnission was from the owner of the apartment building. There is a lot
of cross-traffic and debris there. He understood that was why the Planning
Commission had put in a stipulation for a fence.
Mr. Sobiech stated that the stipulation was that a fence be added to the north
side of Lot 11. In regards to screening, there is existing fencing on the
east side of the property between the Lift and the single family residences.
Councilman Schneider stated that he felt it should be fenced because it would
be upgrading of the zone and if Mr. Holmer ever decided to sell the property,
he would be more comfortable with it fenced. Councilman Schneider stated that
he realized it was not Mr. Holmer's intention to sell.
IAr. Holmer stated that he was at a low cash flow until Octo6er or November. He
would like to keep the property cleaner> and the trash was coming onto his
property from the north side, so he would like to do something there.
��Mr. Sabiech stated that Staff could work out a schedule with I•Ir. Holmer before
this item was returned to Council for a second readin9. ��.

Mr. Sobiech stated that they had an official request and statement withdrawing

RECEIVE THE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF JUNE 6, 1979:
REQUEST FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP �79 06 BY ROBERT CARLSON 161
62ND WAY.
Mr. Sobiech stated that this was a request for a Special Use Permit to allow
construction of a second accessory building at 161 - 62nd Way. At their
meeting of June 6, 1979, the Planning Cortmission had a public hearing on this
matter and recommended to Council approval with certain stipulations. The
stipulations state that the construction be not less than 20 fe?t rather than
19 feet from the adjacent property owner to the west of the proposed site
location and also it was stipulated that it be compatible with the existing
neighborhood and his home, indicating that the proposed structure be surfaced
1�� REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 18, 1979 PAGE 4
to match his existing dwelling. The third stipulation was that no home occupation
be allowed. As noted in the Planning Commission public hearing, it is the
intent of the petitioner to utilize the second accessory building for
storage of materials. There was discussion relative to future use of the
second accessory buildiny for a garage. There is space between the existing
dwelling and the property line which would allow a driveway to that second
accessory building in the future. Mr. Sobiech stated that even though there
were no objections noted at the Planning Commission hearing, it was commented
that there were some residents who felt uncomfortable with the proposed
second accessory 6uilding. .
Mr. Theodore Burandt, 6211 Riverview Terrace N.E., came forward and stated that
he is an adjacent property owner and Lhat he is one of three people who
object to the second accessory building. The other two people who object
wish to remain anonymous. He stated that initially> he had no reservations,
however, he did feel that there was adequate room for the garage to be
added to the structure. He felt that from a real estate resale value, it
would be better attached, rather than in the middle of the yard. If helps
that it would sit 20 feet away, but felt that since the yards were small,
placing it in the middle of the yard was not a good idea. Mr. Burandt statnd
that his house is immediately to the west o* Mr. Carlson's house.
Mr. Sobiech showed Council an aerial view of the location and stated that-Yhe
petitioner's property was about 180 feet deep. Mr. Burandt lives to the west
and has the minimum 25 foot setvack on his house. Mr. Burandt was indicating
that the proposed structure would be in the rear of the yard. Mr. Burande, and
felt there would be room for a 16 x 22 just west of the existin9 structu
could be tied in with the existing garage.
Councilwoman Moses asked if it were set back the maximum amount it could be?
Mr. Sobiech stated that it would be approximately 78 feet from the rear lot
line, and offset towards the center of Mr. Carlson's property.
Councilwoman Moses asked Mr. Burandt if it would help if the proposed
� structure were set back further?
Mr. Burandt stated that would not make much difference because his whole
back yard is adjacent to Mr. Carlson's rear yard.
neighborswhosborderedahisepropertyPandtexplained what�heewantedatoudo.t�There
were no objections. He stated that he and-h�r. Burandt had paced off the area
where the structure would go and Mr. Burandt did not have any cortments.
Mr. Burandt stated that he had suggested to Mr. Carlson at that time that the
structure should be added on tn the existing garage. He stated that at that
time�he did not really have any objection, but after thinking about it> he
would object.
Mr. Carlson noted that Mr. Burandt has a 6 foot hedge. He stated that he intended
to build the garage in accordance with the rest of the property and it would add
.to the looks of the property. Ne had indicated at the Planning Commission
. meeting that he planned to put in an inner court which would tie it all together.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he would guess that if these objections
had come out at the Planning Commission meeting it would have helped. He
asked Mr. Carlson if he had considered attaching the proposed structure to the
existing garage? - �
Mr. Carlson stated that because of the way the land slopes on.the west side
and because of his neighbor's hedge, it would be more of a pr�blem to put
it there. He stated that he was not concerned about the resale value, that
he plans on stayin9 there and using it for storage.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked Mr. Carlson if he had any reservations in view
of the fact that his neighbor was now objecting?
Mr. Carlson stated that he wished he had objected before this. .

REGULAR MEETING ON JUNE 18, 1979 �
PAGE 5
Councilman Barnette asked Mr. Carlson if the neighbor�to the east had any
objections?
Mr. Carlson stated he did not and that neighbor had a shed also.
Counciiman Barnette stated that the objections should have been voiced at
the Planning Comnission's public hearing. He felt that Mr. Carlson had foilowed
the correct procedure and should be allowed to proceed with his project.
Councilwoman Moses asked if it would help if the buildin9 were farther back
on the property?
Mr. Burandt stated that he felt the other people would object to that. He
felt the most logical solution would be for Mr. Car7son to attach the
structure. �He stated that this was developing into a neighborhood feud, and
that way why the other trro people wish to remain anonymous.
Councilman Schneider stated that he had difficulty with people objecting anony-
mously. People have every right to o6ject, but it was not ri�ght to do it
anonymousty.
Councilman Barnette stated that he agreed and respected Mr. Burandt for caning
forward. He felt that it took courage for Mr. Burandt to cane foreward, but
was still i❑ favor of Mr. Carlson.
Mr. Carison stated that thzre is a large tree to the west of the proposed
site and also a large pulm tree to the southwest of the proposed site. He
did not want to have to remove those trees. He also planned on an inner
court between the house and the 9arage.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that in view of the unanimous decision of the
Planning Covunission and even though he sympathizes with Mr. Burandt, he
would like to make a motion. •
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to concur with the Planning Commission's �
reco�rsnendation for approval of Special Use Permit, SP q79_06 �- 161 - 62nd
Way. Seconded by Counci7man Barnette. .
Mdyor Nee asked if there was any way to work out a compromise?.
�Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that the only co�romise he could see was for
Mr. Carison to attach the structure to the west and Mr. Carlson gave the
reasons why he did not want to do that.
Mr. Burandt stated there was an 18 inch drop there that would require one
load of fill to take care of that problem.
Mayro Nee stated that since the fellow to the east didn't object, maybe he
could put it further east.
Councitman Fitzpatrick stated that the minutes of the Planning Commission
explained why it could not go further east.
' Mr. Carlson stated that the reason he chose this particular location was I
1 because he was tying it in with the patio and the entrance to the patio would �
be on the west end of the building, off the sun porch. If he put it to the
,� east it would be in front of his dining room window. i
I�, Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that in approving this request, they would �
i
not be approving a specific location.
i
Mr. Sobiech stated that the Special Use Permit is to aliow the construction of I
I a second accessory building. The location on the property should fall within I
the code requirements. Normally, we attempt to review the concerns of the �
i neigh6ors and certain locations are picked out because they have minimal
� impact. So a Special Use Permit�is usuall a �
Y pproved with a plan in mind. ��,

REGULAR MEETItlG OF JUNE 18. 1979
Mr. Herrick stated that if a Special Use Permit were issued with a limitation
on the locatioiS, Councilman Fitzpatrick's statement would be correct. He
stated that Council has the alternative�of issuing a Special Use Permit and
specifying a location.
Mr. Herrick stated that an alternative would be to return this to the Planning
Comnission.
Councilman Schneider stated that he would like to see the property. He
didn't look at it prior to this meeting because there were no objections at
the Planning Commission public hearing. �
Mayor Nee stated that one week would solve his problem and give him a chance
to look at the property.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that with the permission of Councilman Barnette
who seconded the motion> he would withdraw his motion and make a�motion to
continue this for one week. �
Councilman Barnette stated that one week would be satisfactory, but would
hope it would not be any longer than that. He felt that Mr. Carlson had
andeitvwou7d�nothbewfairuto�Mra Carisonnto puttit offaany�longerethandonehis
week.
Councilman fitzpatrick stated there was a conference meeting next week and
asked if they could take action at�that meeting?
Mr. Qureshi stated that Council could look at it and give Staff the authority
to do what Council decides. .
-Mdyor Nee stated that if they reach an agreement next Monday night, Staff
could issue the Special Use Permit and Council could confirm it on July 9th.
If they don't agree> it would have to come back to the July 9th meeting.
Councilman Barnette asked that the people who have objections be at the
meeting next Plonday night. He suggested they be notified.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he would make a motion to continue this
until next Monday night, but pointed out that there was a motion on the
floor and asked if the seconder agreed to withdraw it?
Mayor Nee stated that they didn't have to withdraw that motion now.
M07ION by Councilman Fitzpatrick tRobert�Carlsonsi161at�62ndfWaye forUOne for

week and if no agreement is reached at next week's meeting, a final decision
will be made on July 9th. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Herrick stated that in reading the Planning Commission minutes re9arding
the philosophy and requirements of a Special Use Permit, he found a statement
that troubled him. That statement was that the City has granted Special Use
Permits because they were threatened with a law suit. He didn't recall that
they had done that, in fact they had been to court several times when they have
denied one and v+ere sued. The�Plannin9 Comniss'�on and Council should be
aware that when a Special Use Permit is denied> the burden of esta6lishing why
they are denied is on the City. They have not granted one because of a threat
- to sue. On occasions, he has recommended they grant one when they did not have
ar�y valid reasons for refusin9 to Srant one. As long as the Planning Commission
and Council realize tnat, he did not feel they would have ar�y problems. But
that statement bothered him.
Councilwanan Moses asked if a valid reason for denyin9 a Special Use Permit
would be devaluing someone else's property.
Mr. Herrick stated it would but that would have to be proved.
REGULAR MEETING OF�dUNE 18, 1979 PAGE 7 1���
Councitwoman Moses asked if they would want someone rtwre knowledgeable like �
an appraiser to look at sanething like that?
Mr. Herrick stated that normally that wouldn't be necessary. The property
owner and the objector should state their reasons and if there was a real
question they could have a real estate person who was disinterested look at
it and give an opinion. But normally they would not have to do that.
YACATION REQUEST SAV °79-03 BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY, 59TH AND 60TH AVENUES
BETWEEN 2; AND 3RD STREETS•
Mr. Sobiech stated that Planning Comnission made a motion that a meeting be
set to discuss this matter. He asked if Council would be interested in that
meeting? He stated that the owner of the apartment building would be living
there soon, about the last week of June. He suggested th�y wait until the �
owner has moved in and p�an a meeting on the site with the neighbors involved
and with the owner of the other apartment building who lives in the metropolitan
area.
Councilman fitzpatrick asked Ms. Gabte if that timing would be acceptable.
Ms. Gabel stated that she had two comp7aints this evening before coming to
the meeting.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he had read the minutes and agreed they
had talked about this enough, but the proposal was to talk once more. He
would have no ebjection to that meeting.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to concur with the Planning Commission's
recomendation that a meeting be held. Seconded by Councilman Schneider.
Councilman Schneider stated that he would like to attend that meeting and
asked that he be notified.
Mayor Nee stated that the motion was to have a special meeting.
Upon a voice�vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.

CONSI�ERATION OF PAINTING OF HOUSE NUMBERS Ofd CURBS, K. STEVEN RICE:
Mr. Sobiech stated this was a request to allow or permit house number
�. painting on curbing. This has been done several times in the past and has
aided our emergency services such as policc and fire. Mr. Sobiech gave
. Council copies of notices similar to the notices Mr. Rice would be passing
� out. Mr. Rice is currently working in Edina.
'� Mr. Rice stated that Council was given two examples of the notices he passes
, out. One example was the original version of the notice he generally
' passes out and the other is a revised notice that specifically states that
�( people are not required to pay for the service. He wanted to make that
�� clear because there were some minor complaints from some residents. He
explained that the way he works is to pass out the leaflets and wait one
,� or two days in order to give the people who don't want it a chance to call,
'� . then he would paint the numbers on the curbs and then would collect. The
collection is termed a donation with an estimated value of $3.00. From
! experience, the majority of the eo le will
j P P pay the $3.00, some will give
, $1.00 and some will pay $5.00. By stating that they don't have to pay,
� people don't fee] forced into it. Regarding the benefits, they are
reflective numbers that show up at night and are a help to City services
and private citizens. He was not sure how the winter would effect the numbers
because he never did this in this kind of climate before. His previous
experience with this was in San �iego and Arizona.
REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 18, 1979 PA�E 8 �I
i.92 !
Councilwoman Moses stated that then the City would pay nothing and Mr. Rice �I
would do all the collecting, etc. Al1 he needs is permission. il
Mr. Rice stated that was correct. He stated that he lives in Isanti and . �I
Edina is further away from him than Fridley so it would be more economical
for him to work in Fridley.
Councilman Schneider stated that the notice indicated that peopie should �
send it back if they don't want it. He asked wfly they couldn't ask people i
if they want it.
Mr. Rice stated that depended on the process he used. This way seems �.
to work best for him. ihe majority of the people like it. I
Mr. Sobiech asked Mr. Rice what kind of complaints he received. I,
Mr. Rice stated that some of them were that the people didn't ask for it> �I
� thGy didn't like the looks of it, it creates a bad effect with the black
and white numbers going down the street and some people didn't want to be
- the same as everyone else. i
Mayor Nee stated that this was done in the past in Fridley and he didn't il
recall any complaints. �
Mr. Herrir,k stated that he understood that the police and fire departments I
said it was helpful. He wasn't sure how long the numbers lasted.
Mr. Sobiech stated this was done in 1970, 1974> and 1976. and seem to � '
last two to four years. �
Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Rice if he could 9ive people a week to
. respond to the notice.
Mr. Rice stated that most people resond within the first day.. .If Counci�l
wanted him to g5ve people a week, he would, but it would be easier for him
to continue as he has in the past which would be to give people only one
or two days. .
Councilwoman M1ioses stated that if people are on vacation or simply don't i
see the notice the first two days,-�t would be better if they had a week.
She asked if five days would be too many? �
Mr. Rice stated that would make it more difficult.
Mr. Qureshi stated that he felt there v+as some value to havin9 numbers
on the curbs but also had several concerns. His first concern was that they
were usin9 implied consent by the City and secondly, if the numbers are .
painted, some people would feel obligated to pay for it.
Councilman Schneider agreed and stated that he had no problem withthe
request except tnat if someone is on vacation and comes home to find the
numbers painted they might resent it that someone invaded their privacy.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he didn't agree with Mr. Qureshi's
statement about implied consent. The notice made it quite clear that this
was a private enterprise.
Councilman Barnette stated that if it was done 6efore and nobody objected,
it didn't seem likely they would object now.
Mr. Herrick stated that he didn't recall ar�y objections.
MOTIO� by Councilman Barnette to approve the request to paint house numbers
on curbs with the stipulation that Mr. Rice distribute the notices, 9ivin9
�people three days to respond, paint the numbers and make collection. Also,
the notice must be approved by City Staff and the whole City will have the
opportunity to receive the service in order to make it uniform. Seconded
by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee dec7ared
the motion carried unanimously.

REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 18, 1979 � pp�E g 19 3
Mr, Sobiech stated they received a notice from the Environmental Protection
Agency (EPAJ and also concern from Councilman Schneider regarding certain
proposed noise rules and regulations froni the EPA regulating railroad
properties. The Minnesota Pollution control Agency (P1PCA) has reviewed the
proposed regulations in detail and gave them a copy�of the draft they � ;�
propose to give to the EPA. Generally, they are saying that they don't feel �
the EPA even has the authority to propose these rules and regulations as far �
as health standards. Secondly, one of their main concerns was that �
there is 24 hour monitoring of these facilities which could over tax I
staffing and local resources. The necessary equipment involves certain com-
puter type programming and quite sophisticated equipment which the MPCA �
comnents that they don't even know if it exists. If it does it would be rather 'i
costly. Their other comr�ent was that the noise standards that are being proposed
are not as restrictive as existing State and Local standards. The MPCA feels that '
the local jurisdictions, perhaps the State, would be better able to monitor and
propose certain ordinances which would regutate the health standards of their own �''�
com�nities. The also drafted a letter which they wi71 forward to the EPA in- �
dicating their concerns. We feel generally that the standards do not benefit �
the community and perhaps might in the long run prove detremental. He stated ��
they have proposed an action similar to what they understand Minneapolis is � ,
going to do . They are going to indicate their concern for the proposed ��
rules and regulations and urge the EPA to take into account the comnents �
from the MPCA. ',
Councilman Schneider asked who they would send the resolutions to?
Mr. Sobiech s�tated they would send it to same docket number and railroad comnission
that is on the MPCA comments.
Mr. Herrick stated that he understood that the noise-regulation discussion
will be 6efore the MPCA at their next meeting. He stated he would take their
input to that meeting. �
Mr. Sobiech stated there was a July 2nd deadline on receiving input. . .
HOTION by Councilman Sch�eider to adopt Resolution�No. 89-1979. Seconded
by Councilman Fitzpatrick. � .
Councilman Schneider stated that it was his understanding that the EPA is
proposing some regulations which would circumvent the local and State regulations
regarding noise levels that are allowable in railroad yards. And further, it
would require some significant different types of ineasuring which would establish
a higher ratio of noise levels.
Mr. Qureshi stated that when the railroad yard was expanded in Fridley, they
put quite stringent requirements on it and this has worked rather well.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the rtrotion carried
unanimously.

REGULAR MEETING OF JUNE 18, 1979 PAGE 11

Mr. Sobiech stated the resolution was to advertise for bids for the repair of
some recording and totalizer equipment for Commons Filtration Plant. We have
had the experience over the past several years of some, what we feel, exorbitant i
costs related to this equipment and also the distressing fact that we can no
longer get therepair parts for the existing equipment. This wasn't all that bad '
because after reviewing it we found that the life of the equipment is up. The �
equipment we are replacing is the recording and totalizing of our consumption of �
our water system. We utilize these records not lonly for processing the state of j
our consumption throughout the year but also in monitoring the wells to indicate �
where we might have problems where preventative maintenance might have to be �
performed.
Mayor Nee asked why it says repair instead of replace? I
Mr. Sobiech stated it was a part of a total meter system where we are repairing �
the meter but replacing a certain recorder and totalizer. Perhaps we should
change it to maintenance of the recording and totalizer equipment. . I
Councilman Schneider asked if this was budgeted for? �
Mr. Sobiech.stated that it was not specifically budgeted for but was under the
maintenancc section for repair and maiqtenance of a general nature.
