�
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to eliminate Policy ld on Page 4 of the Housing �
Section. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Schneider stated his concern is if someone wculd try to convert to
condominiums without notifying the City.
Mr. Herrick, City Httorney, stated there are some State laws governing this
matter and he would get a report to the Council. He stated, if the Council
feels there is some immediate concern, the ordinance could be amended to
indicate that any conversion of existing units would have to meet the re-
quirements of the townhouse ordinance and State statutes that are applicable.
He pointed out this would be a short-term solution until a better policy is
developed.
Councilman Schneider felt the criteria should be included in the plan which
vaould indicate under wha.t conditions the City would consicier potential housing
sites for those areas marked as such and zoned M-1, M-2 and C-3.
t�10TI0P! by Councilman Schneider to amend the Housing Section by inserting a

motion carried unanimousl . '
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the Y �
Councilman Schneider referred to Page 4 of the Housing Section, Objective 2
and the italicized material regarding reference to 2,300 additional housing �
units. i
Mr. Boardman,� City Planner, stated by putting in this figure they are saying
there seems to be a need for that number of units, but didn't know if this
could be accomplished.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, asked ahout a statement to the effect that it is
projected the City will need a substar�tial number of additional housing units
in the next ten years. Mr. Boardman stated he didn't see ar�y problem with that
approach.
f•ir. H�rrick felt if they are simply talking about goals, it probably should be
in more general, rather than specific terms.
Mr. Boa�dman stated what the Metropolitan Council will be primarily interested
in is how th� City is going to implement the plan.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to elim-inate the 2,300 figure on Page 4 of the '
Housing Section, Objective 2, and substitute the words "a substantial number ,
of additional housing units". Seconded by Councilinan Barnette. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carri�d unanimously. �
�
Councilman Fitz�atrick stated if the map shows certain industrial and commercial ''
areas as potential resideni:ial uses, he felt the Council was committing them-
selves to the extent that the ov�ners could demand residential use only by a ,
special use permit proceeding. �
�/ �
RE6ULAR MEETIN6 OF FEBRUARY 4, 1980 PAGE 5
Mr. Herrick stated if the Council adopted this plan and the map and included
the criteria'that certain industrial and commercial zoned land could be used
for potential r.esidential, if it was adjacent to residential and parks and a
minimum of 10 acres, and 't met other criteria as far as density, etc., the
Council would have a difficult time to turn down a request from the owner of
these parcels who want it for residential use. He stated the burden of proof
as to why the special use permit should not be granted would be on the City.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated it seems to him they would be abridging the
rezoning process in those areas. Ne stated the problem he has is that if
� you have a residential neighborhood contiguous to industrial land, the feeling
may be it would be the lesser of two evils if it was developed as multiple.
t He stated, however, this might not necessarily be the case in some instances
and residents may prefer industrial to multiple uses.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated, at this time, they are considering only
potential areas. tie stated, if it is zoned heavy industrial, r•esidents may
prefer multiple over this type of industry.
Mr. Herrick felt if there are any of those properties shown on the map which
might be questionable, they probably should be removed at this time and could
be added at a later date, if the Council so wished.
Mr. Boardman stated he didn't see where the special use permit was precluding public
input. He stated, if the Counci] wished to deny a special use permit, they
would have to give a reason for denial and all this process does is put the
burden for denial on the Council.
Mr. Herrick asked if the map wasn't included as part of the Comprehensive
Plan, but presented simply as a document that shows potential sites for
housing so the City is not bound by making this part of the plan, if this
would be acceptable.
Mr. Boardman stated the Metropolitan Councii will ask why it isn't incorporated
into the Comprehensive Plan as potential housing sites is a key document they
` want in the plan.
� Mr. Herrick felt possibly instead of talking about special use permits, it
should be indicated that these are properties that may be considered for
rezoning for future housing development.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he felt> even with ±he above proposal, the Council
has prejudiced their case, to some extent, but not as much as just reauiring a
special use permit.
Mayor Nee stated,he felt a11 the Council members wish to conside.� the expressions
of neighboring property owners in regard to these parcels.
Mr. Boardman stated he doesn't have any problems if the Council wishes to con-
sider it as a rezoning.
Mr. Herrick felt, if criteria is going to be listed, whether it be for a special
use permit or rezoning> there should be a general statement regarding the criteria
the Council may consider, but to indicate tne listin5 is not conclusive.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, felt a statement could be made to the effect the City
would consider those areas for potential rezoning to residential through the
rezoning process. The staff is to incorporate the amendments and items of dis-
cussion and bring this back to the Council.
`, MOTION by Councilman Barnette to table this item to the next meeting. Seconded
, by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.

RESOLUTION PdO. i3-I980 DETERMINIPJG THE NECESSITY FOR ANO AUTHORIZING THE
ACQUISTION OF CERTAIN PROPERTY, AShTC1N AVENUE AND HILLCREST:
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated, if the road is constructed on Ashton, there was
some question if the railroad property could be assessed.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the City would have to establish testimony
that the value of their property was increased by at least the amount of the
proposed assessment. He sY,ated an assessor or appraiser would have to review
the property and appraise it before the road was constructed and then appraise
it, after construction.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated this reguest comes partly from the residents in
the area, but they have made it clear they don't want to pay the entire cost
for the road.
F�r. Herrick questioned if the City wanted some estimates as to the value, be-
fore and after a road is constructed, in order to determine if an assessment
can be sustained before they proceed. He felt this would be the safe ap-
proach since this probably would have to be done eventually.
Mr. Q�reshi, City Mar.ager> felt there should be some concensus that these
improvements are needec+ to provide double access in this area, and if tlie
cost is not sustainec+ against the railroad property, there may have to be
other sources of funding. He stated the City has tried to negotiate
with the railroad, but without success and it possibly will end up with
acquisition by eminent domain.

OLD BUSINESS:
DISCUSSION OF FUTURE FUNOING F�R ISl_ANDS OF PEACE (TABLED 1/21/80)_:
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the Finance Department has noted there
is a$1,563.00 balance as of the end of November, 1979 regarding the Is]ands
of Peace Project. He stated the matter is being brought to the attention of
the Council as it appears there will have to be an understanding reached as
to how future expenses will be handled.
Mr. Qureshi also stated there has been a judgment against the Islands of
Peace Foundation.
Mr. Alex Barna, Chairman of the Islands of Peace Board, stated the Foundation '
has been receiving contributions and they have enough fur.c+s to cover the ',
February utility bills and a balance in their account. He stated these j
donations were not put with the grant money> but handled throuyh their own
account. Ne felt the balance of the grant money could be used for the i
building. i
:
PUBlIC HEARING h1EETIN6 OF F€BRUARY 11, 1980 PAGE 2
Mr. Barna stated Ed Wilmes is seeking some donations from corporations and
it seems, because the building is under construction, more firms are wiilfng
to give larger donations.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, commented regarding the judgment against the
Islands of Peace. He stated it rro uld he his opinion the judgment couldn't
be executed on any funds in the name of the City, however, if there are
funds or property in the name of the Foundation, then they may be subjected
to attachments. Mr. Qureshi stated this was the City's concern and he
�wanted to make sure the Islands of Peace Foundation was aware that the
funds could be attached.
Mr. Barna stated Ed Wilmes has been in contact with the attorney that pro-
cessed this judgment and the reason it was dorie was the American Improvement
Company was going bankrupt and they wanteci to take the legai steps to protect
their interests. He stated the Foundation does intend to pay and hoped, with
the donations, they couid satisfy theTr bas9c lien and possib7y the interest
would be waived.
Mr. Barna stated the Foundation will try to carry their own weight and
stated they are working to get donations and additional funds.
Mayor Nee felt any funds they receive should be set aside for essentials
such as the utilities. He felt the City should keep a watch on the account
and that the Foundation should check further with their attorney on the
facts regarding the judgment.
No action was taken at this time by the Council regarding the handling of
future expenses.
RESOLUTION N0. 11-1980 F4R INITIAL APAROVAL OF OFFICIAL DRAFT DEVELOPMENT
Councilman Barnette stated under the Parks and Open Space Section, Page 5-5,
Items 6 and 6A, there is reference to the City cooperating with other
governmental and non-governmental agencies in providing park, recreation
and open space areas, and Item A spells out the City should continue to
provide technic:al assisiance and support to favor•able developments such
as the Islands of Peace Park and Spring Erook Nature Center. He further
stated he understands that the Spring Brook Foundation has not renewed
thei�° lease and that the �ity would have to take it over and, therefore,
felt this reference was a r�dundant statement. He pointed out there is i
no other agency other than ±he City that has control of the Spring Broo!•�
Nature Center.
�
Mayor Nee suggested perhaps the reference to the Islands of Peace and
Spring Brook Nature Center, or everything that was in parenthesis, could
be deleted. �'
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to amend the Comprehensive Pian by deleting '
everything shown in parenthesis under Item 6A on Page 5-6. Seconded by
Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all ��oting aye, Mayor Nee
declared ihe moti�n carried unanimously. •
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he has not had any coniact or discussion
with staff sfnce the last regular meeting and questioned if thEy would be
using the specia] use permit procedure or rezonirg procedures. He stated,
in his ]ast discussi�n with Jerry Boardman, it was felt the best approach
►vould be if there are certain tracts of land that were zoned industrial �;
or commercial :nd adjacent to parks and residential and a certain number
of acres, those would be eligible to apply for rezoning.

� COfVSIDERATIOid OF AUTHORIZING SETTLEMEN7 OF LAW SUIT:
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, suggested this item be tabled for fur•ther informa-
tion.
MOTTON by Councilman Schneider to table this item. Seconded by Councilman
Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
earried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF RECODIFIC.4TION OF CITY CODE:
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the Charter provides that the City update
the code every five years. He stated a�hat is proposed is that the City use
the word processing procedure to incorporate changes in the code. He noted
that, with this system, there also wou7d be reference to any previous ordinances.
Mayor Nee felt it vaas a good idea, but asked about the legal ramifications.
Mr. Herrick, City At.torney, stated the word "recodify" is used in di�ferent
ways and context and felt it really doesn't give them much guidance. He felt
there were two rather distinct areas to ��vnich the word can ap�ly �nd one is
codification in the sense of taking all the amendments that ha��e been �assed
over a period of time and putting them into the o��dinance and pubiishing tfie
book. Ne stated this is a mechanical task, roi concer7ed with subject context,
but to make sure they are in the proper order and not inconsistent. The other
way it can be taken is that, periadically, the Council or staff, at tne direction
of the Council, should review the ordir�ances for context ar,d c'setermine whether
subject matter changes should be made. He stated he iooked at the word "recodi-
fication" to niean that the staff and the attorney shouid simply see that, periodi-
ca11y, at least once ever five years, t'r�at the ar:endn7ents are put into i:he ordi-
nance and that the publication is brought �,�p to date. He felt if that is what
is meant hy "recodification" then the City Nanager's proposal wou;d accomp',ish
this by keeping orr,�inances up to dat^ as ai�iendments are made instea� of having
one big effort every five years. Fie falt tiiis wou7d be to everyone's advantage.
Mr, Herrick stated, from a practical standpoint, Council should per5odically
review the ardinances to deterrnine if thare ai°e some that are no longer needed
and if there should bE chanyes.
Mr. Quresh�, City Manager, stated, if it is the Council's desire to reproduce
a printed cnpy every five years, staff ti�ould continue to do so. Mayor Nee
stated the Charter requires this be done.
A1r. Nerrick stated he has talked i,�ith staff regarding a nu!r�berino and cross
reference system so that when an ordinance is reproduced showing the last
changes, there will be cross references in case someone wants to check back
on the history of the changes.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to concur with the City Manager's proposal
to use the word processor to incorporate ordinance changes or revisions.
Seconded by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

F�NDS FOR 49ER'S:
The Council discussed the request for funds for use by the 49er's in their
annu�l celebration.
Mr. Qure�hi, City Manager, stated the City has contributed in the past and
felt the question was which approach th2 Council t�rished to take, either to
give thnm a certain amount outright or to have them submit vouchers and pay
for certain kinds of expenses.
Nr. Brunsell, City Clerk, stated both met�ods have been used, as two years
ago, the City provided the 49er's with �5,000 and the 49er's ran everything
through their own books and cam� out with a financial report on how the money
was spent. He stated, last year, the 49er's still received funds from the
Lity, however, the method used was by submission of vouchers and payment
through the C�ity's books ar�d accounts. He stated one of the problems w�th
the procedure last year was that there wasn't a separate program on the Ciiy`s j
books for the 49er's, therefore, it is difficult to te71 what amount �as j
attributable to the 49er's. I
I
Mr. Qrunsell stated, speaking as « member of the 44er's board, he felt 9t !
�vou7d be easier to have a certain amount provided and then submit a financial ;
statement on how t'he money o-Jas used, or as an alternativ�, to havc a separate ,
program in the City's funds for this purpose.
Councilrnan Fitzpatrick stated the letter received from the 49er's staied
substantially what P4r. Brunsell has just out7ined.
Counci7woman Moses pointed out that Qob Olmstead had stated a few years ago
tI1P. 49er's needed �5,000 and �ow they are as{:ing for 32,600 and, eventuaily,
they hoped to be self-supporting and wauldn't need any funds from the City.
Mr. Qureshi felt the only issue is if they should be given a certain amount
or to indicate what maximirm the City wou7d fund and for what items it is to
be spent.
Mr. Herrick feit it could be done either way, however, he would prefer that
the City make payment for specific items and that there be a program number
assigned for the 49er's.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, ]980 PAGE 5
Mr. Brunsell stated, as far as the auditor's are concerned, the preferable
method would be to have a separate program in the budget. He stated the main
concern of the auditor's would be that the Council definitely took action to
show that this money would go for that particular purpose.
Mr. Qureshi felt if it was the consensus of the Council to provide funding
and a separate account, this could be done.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to provide up to a maximum of $3,000 for the 49er's
; on the basis of vouchers submitted to the City. Seconded by Gouncilman Fitzpatrick.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unani-

Mr, Boaxdman exglained these easements wexe placed on the plat oribinally to allaw for
the handling of any potential drai.nage problem. Hot�ever., the pond that was located
on the final building plan would ba capable of handling a 50 year stonn and the staff
felt that would be adequate drainage. The garages and townhouses have been built over
these easements. Iie furtl�er esplained grading has been completed for the pond ar.d any
further grading would only be on the residential lots. That gradi�ng would not affect
the ponc� size. Mr. Boardman added the pond would normally have a few areas of standing
• water, but basically the pond would only have water in it after a rain or melting
period.

PLANNING COMI4ISSION M�F.TIPIG, FEBRUARY 6, 1980 PAGE 2
' Mr. Boardman stated that Staff had looked at this proposed plat, and there
are several things within this plat that should be put into the record. All
the easements are recorded on this plat, but some easements.are missing on
an exi�ting water line along TIi 47, so a 20-foot easement should be shown on
the plat along that sewer line. That c anes in on Block 1, Lot 1, and Block 2,
Lot 1. •
Mr. Boaxdman stated that with Block 3, Lot l, �ahich is a cainmercial property,
and Block 4, Lot 1 and 8, which are shown as M-1, they may have the same
problem here as they had with the Paschke property where the setback on
industrial propertiy has to be 100 feet off any commercial property. It may
give some problems as far as the setback for building. They may want to do
the same thing they did with Mr. Paschke and that is, along with the plat, to
recommend that a variance be granted stating that all Ioading and parking be
in the rear yard.
Mr. Boardman stated they have not yet received any drainage plans as far as
ponding or storn:water run-off, so that should be a stipulation under the
building permit.
Mr. Boardman stated that in this pZat, it shows 81st Ave. on the north. He
stated they have had a discussi�n with the gsntleman just north of this
property who o�.*ns tiie drivir_g range and is not happy �aith 81st Ave. going in.
However, Staff feels f31st should aL least connect to Raactiers Road; whether it
go Chrough to Main St, at this time probab2y is not necessary. If 81st Ave.
was not tied into Ranchers Road, they would have to deadend Ranchers Road,
which is not a good s:iLuati�n, and the Engineering Uepartment wouid prefer to
see it attached at that point.
Mr. Harrxs asked ho�v they would handle the ponding. �--�
� . �
Mr. Boar•jman stated they do not necessarily look at on-site ponding as a
requir.ement. They look,at water reten.tion. If the builders can figure out a
way to hald water on the rc�oft�p or in the parking 2ot so that the rate of
run-off is not greater than the existing property, that is generally �ahat
they look a�. They go by the same r.egulaLions they must meet when they go
into the Rice Creek idaCershed District.
Mr. Roger Jones stated he owned the rridley Golf F.ange at $100 University.
He stated he was not against fhe dev�lopment �or the plat; he thought that was
good. He stated he could appreciate the fact tl�at the City did not wanC to
deadend streets, but he had to look out for his o�an interests and the fact
that his driving ranfie would go out of business if 81st «ent in because of
the narrotaing of the property, and because of ttie possibility of damage to
sutomobiles on the road from str�zy golf bulls. He srated he thought he saw
that all L-he properties could be served with utiliCies in the proposed plat,
and �aould not need a through street. If the City was to develop the area
bet��een 79th and 8.lst, which i.s a normal �;rowth area and leC �211t build up,
it seeuied lilce the wise way to �o. If tl�ey put�in 81st Ave., they are trying
� �

'� . PLAt3NING COMMISSION Mf:ETING, r�13RUARY 6, 1.980 _ PAGE 3
to develop 79th and the whole package at one time, and the growth is not
there at this time to do it. iie also felt it was putting an undue hardship
on the existin� property �owners to pay assessments, taxes, etc., waiting for�
. development to come from 79th on through. .
Mr. Harris asked what Mr. Jones thought of the proposal to just put 81st Ave.
to the new ptoposed Ranchers Road.
Mr. Jones stated he was not in favor of it, because it was doing essentially
the same thing as having 81st all the way through, as that caas his working area.
Mr. Harris stated that if this land was platted and Ranchers Road was put in
and a service drive and Uoth sicreets were made deadends, there would be a
problem with emergency vehicles--fire, police, and also snowplowing. Maybe
it would be possible to put in 8lst so a loop would go around onto Ranchers
Road.
Mr. Jones stated that would still create a problem for him. He did not know
ho�a to get away from the situation. Cars have to travel along the road, and there
is no way to control a golf ball. �
Ms. Schnabel suggested that Mr. Jones put up some kind of screening--fencing
and trees or shrubs--that jaould help block the flight of a goif ball. There
must be other golfing ranges wi.th the san�e problem.
Mr. Jones stated he presently had a fence which was quite worn, but he believed
the fence �aas abouL- 20 feet higl�. They still lose �baut 6-7,000 golf balls a
season that �o over the fence, so the f.ence was not totally effective. A 30-foot
high fence would probably contain considerably more golf balls.
Mr. Schroer stated tha.t he and P1r. Jones had talked about this several times.
He stated he felt tYie biggest problem .for Mr. Jones was the amount of assess-
ments going on his property, and he couJ.d appreciate 21r. J.ones' concern, fle
stated they were going to put in 8lst a couple of years ago, but decided it was
not necessary at that time. He felt it was getting more necessary now. Was
there any way the assessments could be delayed or something to help T1r. Jones'
situation?
• Mr. Boardman stated he thought there has heen seme deferred payments on
assessments; ho��ever, the assessments have to be paid at tlie interest rate
at the time the assessments are paid, so interest rates could be considerably
higher at that time. It might be better to pay the assessments now, rather
than ten years from now.
Mr. Harris stated that he had reviewed his notes and it appeared that about ten
years a�;o when rir. Jones came in for a special use permit to build a golfing
r�3n�e, there was some discussion and rir . Jui�es unclerstood that at some point iu
' time, somethiug els�e was going to h�Yppen tu his pruperty besides a driving
� r��n�e. As Pir. Harris rememberect, tiic P1111ltlilt; Commission said the rcason they
were recommendin�; a special use pei-miL- w�s becai►se there was not much activit��
itt Clte area, and they would ].il:c to see Che driving range in that area to lcind
of get C�1111�'S movin� .

PLANNIt1G CON,MISSION M�ETING I�I:BRi1ARY 6, 1980 PAGE 4
Mr. J ones stated that, yes, he had understood that. He stated he also under-
stands that Mr. Schroer needs access to his property for development of that
property. His question was: Is it really necessary to go in and do this now
as it is somewhat stopping the operation of his 12 acres?
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Jones if he had thought of platting his property in the
near future.
Mr. Jones stated that, yes, he had, but, until the area from 79th to 81st is
developed, built, and sold, it seemed foolish for someone to skip over that
property and build on properCy farther out.
Mr. Boardman sCated that there is development at access points, and access
points are at 79th and 81st. Generally, development is done first at the access
points and then development is done inside. Mr. Jones' property is at an
access point, so his property could possibly be developed before Mr. Schroer's
interior lots.
Ms. Hughes asked Mr. Schroer that on the lots along 81st Ave., what kind of
businesses would be going in there? tdere they businesses that would attract a
lot oi people and generate a lot of traffic? Would the�e businesses require
the development of 81st?
Mr. Schroer stated that the commercial business would generate a lot of traffic,
but the indLStrial business would not. He stated, yes, it would require the
development oi 81st.
Ms. Hughes asked what the time schedule was for the street construction.
Mr. Harris stated that the streets would probably be done by fall o€ 1980.
Mr. Harris stated a�ain, that in an in�?ustrial area, they cannot put in dead-
end streets because of emergency vehicles. A1Lhough the C.ity does have some
cul-de-sacs, they are not all that successful.
i•
3C
Mr. Jones stated he was not askin,n, f�r a cul-de-sac, and he was not out to stcp
the develol?ment, but Chere has to be s<<e �aorkable solution, rather than putting
an unclue liardship on an individual. If they �could put in a street that caould go
back to Ranchers Road, he �aould go along with that and c��ould work around tl�at.
He �aould maybe_need assistance in putt.ing up a retainer �vall to protect cars
and people from stray golf balls. Also, if there was s�me way to get deferred
assessments, so that �ahen Mr. Schroer's property was developed, then the rest
would be ready for development. He felt there was too much land to be
developed and they �aere trying to do it too soon. Ii 81st has to go in, he
would prefer to see it stop at Ranchers Road, �.
Mr. Oquist pointed•out that if they stapped 81st at Ranchers Road, befoze
long, they �aill have developers of the othcr property coming in wanL-ing 81st
continued all Che way to Main St. �

Ms. Schnnbe], stated thnt oiia wae very sympati�etic to Mr. Jones' problem. She
' felt uncomfor�ai�le as to how to solve t}ie dilemma rhat the development of
81st Ave. woc�ld prescnt ro Mr. Jones and tiis properLy, but she also felt that
in the City's bc:st interest, the developmenL• of 81st was bound to come soon,
i.f it was not due right, now. From Mr. Schroer's sCandpoint, the development
of 81st was probably crucial. She thought the poinC Mr.-Jones made was very
valid in the delineation of streets and the philosophy behind the way those
. streets are platted. She did not see an answer that would accommodate both
people.
MOTIO N by Ms. Schnabel, seconded by M�. Hughes, to close the,public hearing on
P•S• 4180-01, by Robert Schroer. Upon a voice vote, all votirig aye, Chairman Harris
declared the public hearing closed at 9:05 p.m. �
Mr. Oquist stated he agreed with Ms. Schnabel that it is inevitable that 81st
is going to be developed. He also appreciated Mr. J ones` diiemma, but did not
honestly know what could be done.
Mr. liarris stated that, as far as the financial burden, maybe the Planning
Commission could recommend to City Council that assessments be delayed to a
later date. '
Mr. Boardman staCed that he would like Mr. Jones to think about that, because
interest rates could go higher.

4. RECEIVE ARTICLr FR0�1 FxIDLEY SL� OF WEDNESDAY, JnNUARY 30, 1980, RE:
"NSP LOOY.S ttT FF,IDLEY SITE FOR POhTER 1'LANT":
MOTION by Mr. Treuenfels, seconded by Ms. Schnabel, to receive the Fridley Sun
article dated January 30, 1980.
, Mx'. Johnson stated he was with the North Divisior. Office of NSP, and he was
the liaison worker �aith the communities of the Pdorth Division, of which Fridley
was one. He had a little backgr.ounu in this plant siting and was present at
the meeting to try and answer any qu�stions the Planning Commission might have.
Mr. Johnson stated that the article in the paper was factual. The reporter
had appeared at the Metropol9.tan Cauncil meeL-ing and this informaticn was
relayed to him at this time.
2•ir. Johnson stated that one of the reasons the site was selected �aas because
NSP was asiced Uy st4.te and nrivate �rougs to ??tvesCigate the possibility af
putting a smaller plant in the metropolitan area, the plant to not only develop
electricity, but to be used for co-generation, either.st�am or water, for
industrial and residential use. With that in mind, they lool:ed at various
spots and tried.to pick locations in aII areas of. the metropolitan area.
tir. Harris asked if NSP was aware of the proposed park across East River Road?
Mr. Johnson stated th�t, yes, they were. They had met with Mr. Boar.dman and
have revzewed plans, and they feel they are not enfringir.� on Lhe park property.
Mr. liarris aslced ho�a AISP ��ould draw �,�ater from the river .
Mr. Johnson stated they <<�ou2d draca water trom th� river in a closed circuit
in about 12-inch pipes under�;ro�nd, so there would be no cisual impact.
Mr. Harris stated tliat he assumed the coaZ �aould come by rail.
Mr. Johnson stated that, yes, that was tlie reason for the site by the railroad.
tir. Ilarris stateci he was co:�cerned about euhere NSP �aould stockpile the coal.
Mr. Ja2mson stated he did not know the exact location, but iC �aould probably
be souie�ahere close to the railroad rracks. .
Ms, iIughes asked r1r. Johnson to describe the configuration of a 200-megat•ratt
plant.
Mr. Joliii;:on stzted there �:ot�ld l�e one stacic, one water. -cooled tower. The
buildinf; itsclf �.ivul:d prot�ably be 1.50 ft. tal). with a stack.

PLANNING CO?�1dISSIUN MEETING, rI;T3RUARY 6, 1980 PAG� 8
Mr. Johnson stated this p1anC would add 75-100 employees and would bring in
approximaCcly $600,000-700,OOU in taxes to the City e very year. -
Mr. Johnson stated that I3SP will select 3-4 sites to be turned over to the
SCate. The first thing they have to do is go before the Minnesota Energy
Agency and prove their need for the p2ant. After that ttiey have Co go before
the Site Selection Approval cemmittee wiLh the Minnesota Equality Board.
Each one of these will have a public hearing with input. Ari environmental .
impact statement will also have to be made. All of this will take approximately
2-3 years, and then the State will decide where the plant will be built. NSP
hopes to make their selection of the sites they feel would be most valid for
their usage within the next 2-3 months.
Mr. Harris stated that the City Council had in�ormally directed the Planning
Cammission to study rhis NSP site in Fridley and get back to City Council
with a recommendation. He asiced Mr. Johnson if he would supply the Planning
Commission with as much information as possible for the Planning Commission to
study, they could get together again for further discussions. He would also
lilce enough copies so tne Envi�onmental Quality Commission, Community Development
Commission, and the new Energy �ommission could also study it. .
Mr. Johnson stated he would get- this information to Mr. Boar.dman, and then
the Planning Cc�wiission could contact Y�.im c,�ren they �aould lii.e him back again.
Mr. Harris thanked Mr. Johnson £or coming to.the meeting.
Ms. Hughes stated she �aould lilce someone to keep track of the Certificate of
Need, because withouL- a selectior. of site, Fridl.ey would r�ot normally be
notified of this. ria��be NSP couid keep tl�e City informed about that.
Ms. Hughes stat�d she would like to draw the Comv�ission's at�enta.on to the
article, third paragraph from the bottorn on the right, cat:ere it states: "NSP
3_s uncertain at this time whether a new coal-fired plant �s licensable in
the T�ain Cities area". `That is probably because of. the sulpnur oxide emissions
in the Twin Cities area where there is si:zll some violation, Ms. fiughes stated.
Those standards are being reviewed now and could legally change.

Mr. Boardman stated referred to the motion made by the Environmental Quality
Commission on page 2 recorcimending that Planning Commission and City Council
send a�ridley representative to thc t�iPCA Board meetin� on Feb. 26, 1980,
reflecting the concern of airport and freeway er.pansion. Mr. Boardman stated
that the MPCA Board acted on this on Feb. 5 instead of Feb. 26. He sCated
that this motion was taken directly to City Council on Feb. 4, the City Council
passed a resolution supporting the prioritization by the MPCt� for noise control
for airports and highcaays, and Mr. Virgil Iierricic hand delivered that resolution
to the MPCA Board meeting. Mr. Boardman sCated he did not know what action
the MPCA had taken regarding this resolution.
Mr. Harris stated that regarding Ms. Sporre's statement
stated that Mr. Harris should not make statements th at,

Ms. Hughes stated the same thing was true of the statement she had made in
the Dec. 5, 1979, Planning Commission minuCes that "air quality reviews on
current High�aay 10 were so bad, there was nc� choice except relocation." Ms. Sporre
had also taken that out of context. The discussion had been that with the
current Highway 10, the air quality reviews caex'e so bad, you couldn'.t possibly
expand current Highway 10. If you �asre gaing to build a highway, it would
have to be the relocated High�vay 10. That did not say ane thing about the

Anoka County Welfare and had some discussions with them. There was a meeting

could not believe the lack of coordination between the agencies--the lefC hand .

meetin�s, they would try to put the whole thing together as a pacicage for
the Human Resources Commission. The Human Resources Conunission would tl�en
make recommendations. Hopefully, the Planning Commission will also see the
package to act on it and send recommendations on to City Council.

APPROV� CATV CO'�Ii�iISSION_'�ZINUTES: 0ctober 24, 1979
P�Ir. Kaspszak sta�ed that since the City Council had approved
the October 24, 1979 minutes already, he didn't see the sense
to the Commission approving them.
M r. i�2oravetz stated that this is the usual procedure. The
minutes are sent to the council, whether they have, or have not
been appraved by the Commissian. If, �her� are any correc�ions.
or ar;iendmen-ts to the rninutes, they ar� sent through 'to the
Council at that time.
After much discussion. the �ommission agreed th3t in the future
any minutes of the CATV Commission meetings that have not been
approved by the �ommission will state to the City Council that
they are 'Rough Draft, subject to the Approval of the �ornmission.'
Chairman Kaspszak requested that x4'Ir. �,�oravetz, mail the Corr,mission
members the October 2�, 1979 minutes along wi°th -�his evenings�
and they wauld deal wi�h the bot:n of them a� the next meeting.

asked?
M r. Belgum stated that he would represent the Commission at this
meeting. �
�i
!�2r. Kaspszak stated that the Council did accept the Ordinance 9mendments

2. REVIE'�J PRIORITTES OF CA'rV CO':di•�IISSION RESPONSIBII,ITIES_
Mr. Bel�um read his report to the members of the Commission (See
attached report) �
Mr. Weaver, in response to i�Qr. Belgum's report� -stated that
he probably would have written a report in a different vein,
but that the bottom line would be the same. He further stated
he felt that they are horribly ill-deiined. He stated that
he feels that the people in Fridley, in the main, would not
want to live anywhere else. He further stated that there is
need here to serve and a void to be filled. He'•stated that
4�
from what he has read�from the ACC��J they are well on their way
to filling that void. He stated that „Zr. Belgum summarized his feelings.
i�r. K aspszak questioned :'�•�r. Belgum in what he meant by a"public
information network"?
DZr. Belgum stated �hat he wished that he knew more about th2
Workshop than he does now. He then questioned, if it was true
that until now, the ���orkshop had been mainly a technical group
that helps train people in the production of programs, rather
thaxi attempting to represent the total community?
Mr. Scott stated that was in fact true, the Workshop does not represent the
camarnanity, but is a part of the ca�am�nity.
M r. Belgu^� i'urther stated that since that is a correct s�atement.
he would like to state that then it is his intention is to say
that it �vould be appropriate for this �ammission to attempt to
develop some kind of st�^uctur� -�hat represent the Comm.unity
in a broad way to �'ind peaple for �ne S�Jorkshop to talk to, so
that the �`Jorkshop would not have to go out to Yind the people .
in the Communit.y.
Mr. Scott stated that he felt that would be icleal, the Workshop would apprzci-
ate all cc�unission support.
�JIOTION by °+1r. i�Veaver, seconded by ;';Zr. Belgum, to . create a
committe to be known as -the Public In�ormation Network Committee,

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHaIR:�IAN KASPSZAK D�CLARED
THE _',10TION PASSED UNA1�dI:'iOUSLY. �

��Ir. M ark Scott stated that if the Commission members have had
a chance to read the_report, that it pretty much is self-
explanatory. (See attachment- .�Zark Scott ACCW) �
Mr. Scott stated that what they have tried to do within the last
three months, was establish a direction. The fi.rst one being to
get Mr. Iawe-Blosser into the cc�mYUnity to explain access, and ac-
cess programming, secondly to get people �nvolved in learnirig the
equi�nt, and thirdly assist them in gett.uzg their programning on
the air. He stated that he feels that Mr. Iawe-Blosser has done very
well in these three area's.
M r. Scott stated ti�at as he see's it they are now going into .
what he feels is the second stage, and that being getting some
speaking engagements at various or�anizations, such as Onan.
T:Iedtronic, etc. that might be wi.11ing to supply funding to the
Workshop. He further stated that they are broadenzng their
educational base� in the respect that ::Ir. Zoew-Blosser has
taught a class in Community Education, this last F all quarter,

A PROPO5AL TO THE FRIULEY CABL� T. V. C0;�7P/IISSION
FROn1I: HAROLD BELGU?rT C0:�7^:ZISSIOI�1 :VI �'ViBER
December 6, 1979
Because Cable T.V. ia a relatively new, and undeveloped entertainment
and information industry, the Commission representing the public
interest, has few guidelines to follow. However, it can be assumed,
that the Commission's responsibility, lies first, and foremost,
on the public interest side of the ledger, rather than on the
private profit side.
I t can be assumed that.it is the entertainment side of Cable T.V.,
which brings in the paying customers,and thus sa�isfies the
private stockholders in the Cable T.V. Company. But, because
Cable T.V. is necessarily a monopoly� the citie's through their
governmen�, have placed certain public interest, and public
benefit obligations upon the exclusive Cable T.V. franchise
holder. �
Here we fa.ce a paradoxical situatian. On the one hand the enter-
tainment world, offers an almost unliMited variety of movies,
sports events, circuses, and side-shows, alread;� packaged, and
avail.able ior Cable T.V. On the other hand, the local community,
which the Cable T.V. franchise holder is obligated to serve�
has no packaged programs. The local Community does not even have
the ability currently tc identify events or persons, around which
programs to benefit the community cvuld be built.
The Anoka County Cable �iorkshop represents a certain amount of
teehnical skill, a,nd knowr-havr in �roducing Cable T. V, programs,
but, it in no sense can claim to represent the community o�
F ridley, and its 30,000 individual pexsons vri�h their vast
variety of talents: activities, and interests. Since the
Anoka County ;'dorkshop has been given a limited amaunt of time
to demonstrate what it can produce in local programming, it would
seem useful for the Cable Commivsion t� promote as rapidly as
possible a public informatian ne�work, r�presenting the key
elements and facets of the Fridley Cor,imunity, to aid the Vdorkshop
and its fulltime worker in covering the whole spectrum of this
sector of our society. .
Such a public information network, cauld be of significant
usefullness to other organizatior� which in various ways are
related to ths whole spectrum of the society, for instance:
1. .The Community newspaper .
2. The Community School
3. The Community Library
4. The Community Hospital
�. The Community Goverriment
F ridley like maxi otner suburbs� is often referred to derisively,
as a'bedroom community'. Tere is some truth in this allegation.
Fridley has no downtown, or City Center. It grew so fast in the
196o's and 70's� that it was unable to do more than provide
, A PROPOSAL TO THE FRIDLEY CABLE TY COM.�tISSION, December 6, 1979

.•
police� streets, sewers, and schools for the vast influ�c of
population. There was no time or energy for creating a.community.
Now however the time"is ripe. It can be done� and it can be �
begun by a public information network� which both represents the
people and serv�s the publ.ic interest.

h:r. Yaspszak�questioned if whether. the Public Information
" Network Comrnittee did actu�zlly meet� and if they did� what
was the substance of the meeting?
Mr. Bel{;um stated tha� yes the� did meet, for about an hour
and one-half. i'�Ir. Belgum asked if ;�;r. Eddy would explain
what was covered at that meeting. ' `
M r. Eddy stated that it was at that meeting that the idea
of sending aut the letter to the precinct chairpeople was
originated.
Discussion ensued on v�here the statement of 'divorcing politics
from Cable TV' originated. .
Mr. BeZgum, and P=1r. yJeaver stated that they felt that some
of the best programming would be political.
b7r. V�eaver stated that he could under.stand the distinct need
not to have the City's administrative sector intertwined with
Cable TV, but that would not have to do with political pro-
gramming.
I,1r. nelgum stated that the reasan he used the precinct div�sion�
was that he could nat think of axly other way to geographically.
divide the City into areas.
I:ir. Kaspszak sug�;ested that the idea o�' bre����.g the Cit;r
in-�a precinct areas was a good one� �ut that raaybe �hey should
atter,�pt to contac� or�a.nizations, �nd clubs vrithin the precinct
area, such as the �otary� La.ons, Ch��:ber e� Consr�erce, etc. ,
inste�d of precinct ch�.irpeo�le. He further suggested that
maybe they should deal with the 4`Jard distr�cts first.
A�r. ti'�eavar s�ated that he felt that ;.:r. Belgum`s Public �
Information Net�vork Gor:��m�ittee was just beginning their work,
and that they were headed in the right direction, and doir_g
a good job. , �
Chairman I�aspszak concurred �vith irir. J9eaver. n7r. Kaspszak
further stated that he tvauld like an update on their r�eetings.

Discussion ensued as to what way's the schools could be brought
into Cable TV.
Dir. Chevalier questioned that according to the February report.
he was curious to vrhat their plan �r�as and timing f`or the
period of I�darch 1q80 ta i:larch 1981, regarciing funding?
Mr. Scott stated that they do have an Agree::�ent ��ith the -
City o� Fridley, that the ACC'.J �^�ould cor�e back �to the City
wi-th a report on tivnat thcy have done, durin� -the last six

grants do come in� they vrould then be able to put it into the
banr, so that they vaould not have to worry from. tveek to week.

ANOKA COUNTY COMt�U�iICATIONS WORKSHOP
CHAIRPERSON'S REPORT
The Anoka County Communications WorkshoF has had a very sucessful first
six months. During the second three months, there has been a significant increase
in the number of,programs produced, hours of access cablecasting and individuals
trained in using video equipment. The Workshop has held a number of successful
classes and a�orkshops; every one has been filled. We are also receiving feed-
back from viewers. We have had people call in requesting that programs be repeated,
people calling to say they are watching, and a good response to "Fridley Poll."
People are using the channel and watching the channel. •
During the months of December and January the 4Jorkshop submitted letters of
intent for grants. 4�e sent letter to the Department of Health, Education and
Welfare, Onan Family Foundation, the Totino Foundation, Midland Foundation, and
the Metronic Foundation. Requests for financial aid v�ere also submitted to the
Fridley Lion's Club, Fridley Veterans of Foreign Wars, Post 363, and the Shaddrick-
LeBeau.American Legion Post 303. Enclosed in these letters of intent and reauest
.�f�r .fi nanci al___ai d was the Interim Publ i c Access Progammi ng Report, ACC4! by-laws l
_._... -- -
and a�list of current 4�lorkshop�equipment and supply nee�s. To help support the
supply needs of the Workshop we have written to lumber companies, paint stores,
and hard���are store� in the Fridley area asking for contributions. 4Je have had
a response from the Departfient of Health, Education and UJelfare stating that our
requesi: for a Tele-communications Demonstrat�on Program Grant is being p►�ocessed.
. We are waiting for responses from the other foundations, arganization and businesses.
To increase our programming of general interest, the Workshop has contacted
three film distributors about cablecasting their films. These films will be on
consumer educui;ion, safety ard travel.
To broaden our visiLility in the community w� have sentletters to cor�>>unity
organizations reque�ting speaking engagements. NJe have also contacted the n�ws-
papers and television stations about an article on the t�Jorkshap. t�Je hav�; been
contacted by t�JCCO PM P1agazine, Prcduce� Kiki Rosat+i is considering doing a spot
on the l�tor•kshop. The Fridley Sun will �? running a e�reekly schedule of proqrams
and the results of the °Fridley Poll." The Star and Tribune Picture P1aga�iiTe's
editor, f�arilyn Becerra, is also considering doing an article on the t�lorkshop.
The Worksho�, on its own behalf t� meet the community, is holdinc� an open house
on February 9, 1980, at the Cable Studio. Also, the t�,�orkshop is a mecnber o; �he
Public Information Netk�ork Committee appinted by the Fridley Cable Conunission.
Thi s commi ttee wi 11 be f i 1 i ng a report i n P�1ay �vi th zhe Fri dl ey Cabl e Cor;�,li ss i on .
The purpose of the committee is to develop an umbrellu network to inform groups
and individuals on hou� to get in touch wit� such groups as Community Education,
civic organizations and the tdorkshop. I feel the Cable Commission has increased
the probable success of tf�e tdorkshop by establishing.this committee. Ti�e I�;orks!�op's
visibility in the community is increasing every day. During Plarci� ��re tivill be
star�:ing a membership drive under Ken Qrennen's leadershi.p and �ae are presently
planning a telethon to increase community awareness and participation in the tJork-�..
shop, and to raise funds.
Part ef the �dor•kshop's success must be attributed to Northern Cablevision
and their staff. Manaqer John Eddy has made sure that the lJorkshop studio and
equipment needs f�avc been met. Tom Si:ark, the studio supervisor, has given th�
WorkshoF� a great; deal of technical assistance. Without the suppo�-t of the City,
the Cable Commission, Northern Cablevision, and the community, the Workshep tivould
cease to exist.
-1-
. For the 4lorkshop to continue we need the funding support of the community,
primarily, the City. At this time I feel a iong-range funding formula should
be established to insure access programming continues in Fridley. The 4Jorkshop
has shown itself to be a worthy access entity. The Workshop would like to again
sign an agreement with the�City to serve as the access entity.from March l, 1980
to March 31, 1981. The proposed budget for this period would be:
Salary $12,000.00
Insurance 450.00
Educational/
Travel� 450.00
Car Expenses 600.00
Office Supplies/
Printing/Postage 500.00
TOTAL $14,000.00
In Apri7 1981, the cable company will be paying the City its five percent
of the gross subscriber revenues for the previous year. To insure that there is
access program�ning, it could be esta bl�she d that fifty percent of these revenues
be used for the Cable Commission budget, and fifty percent to finance an access
entity. This formula would assu�c access �t a level that wouid be direct�y i:ied
to the cable revenues the City received. These funds would then be used for salary
and operating expenses. It.should be understood that any equipment purchased with
City funds, would belcng to tne City rather ihan the access entity. This would
m�an that if an agree!rent �vas signed between the City and a differer,�: acce�s entity
the eq�iipment 4�.o:�ld then be coordinated by the new entity. It will always be to
the benefit of any access entity to generate outside f�nds for the �urpose of
pu�°chasing equip;��ent and estabiishing a larger staff. I feei that an agreement
with an access entity should be for no more than one year, that a six-month interim
report, and a one-y�ar report be required, and that activities, facilities and
support be available to anyone, not jusi members.
I feel that
needs and i r��:erests
Cauncil sees fit to

MEMO T0: Fridley City Council I
MENIO FROM: Virgil C. Herrick j�//����/!
City Attorney U �
SUB3ECT: Theisen / Red Owl Condemnation
As you are aware, the City of Fridley conder�ned some of the Red. Ow1 property
to widen Mississippi Street. The Condemnatian Com.missioners awarded a total
of $16,400.00 as compensation for the property taken. Marjon Enterprises, the
fee owner o£ this property appealed the Conciamnation Commissioners award.
Attached is a photostatic copy of a Ietter from their attorney wherein they
agreed to settle this appeal for �he sum of $18,000.00.
Zt is my recomgiendation that the City concur in this offer. I believe that
the cost of a jury trial, includin� a�tor_�zey's fees, ar.d fees for the court
commissioners and an expert witness far tha City would exceed $1,600.00. In
addition, there is always the possibil�.ty tha� the jury might come back with
an award greater than $18,000.00.
If the Council 3s �n agreement, I would suggest that you authorize the
administr�tion to issue a check for the unpa�d balance. I wi11 obtain a
