OLD BUSIiVESS: �,�ECOND READING OF AN OR�INANCE TO AMEND THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY Y MAKIfVG A CHANGE IN ZONING DISTRICTS P.03 TO CR-1 ZOA #80-04, 5345 UNIVERSITY AVENUE, DR. ,]EROME C. $CHURSTEIN Atd D ` Cf1NSTDFRATT(lN OF VARIANCF RFOl1EST TO ;EDUCE SFTBACK FOR OFF-STREET PARKING AfVD EITHER REDUCE REAR YARD OR FROfdT YARD SETBACK TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION Councilman Fitzpatrick stated there are a number of people here this evening who, from what he can tell, are under the r�n sunderstanding that this rezoning would automatically include improvement of the alley. Counctlman Fitzpatrick stated he ts not under that impr�ssion and `elt this should be straightened out. � , Mr. Qureshi, C�ty Manager, stated this is the only alley left �n the City that , is used to provide access to residential garages, basically, to the properties west of 4th Street REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 23, 1931 PAGE 2 He thought, w�th the exception of one or two hoines, everyone uses the alley or some of the cummerical property to o6tain access to their property. He felt if there ever is going to be a desire on the part of the property owners to improve this alley, this would seem the time to discuss it and determ�ne the right approach. Mr. Qureshi stated, if this property covered in the rezo m ng would develop, as proposed, it would block off access to some of the garages, � Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he would agree it is a good cpportunity to discuss this whole thing, however, there are two points to keep �n focus: one, that there is a heartng scheduled for tha alley improvement, and second, there are some people under the misunderstanding that with the rezoning, action ts being taken to automatically irnprove the alley and it should be made clear the rezoning and alley improvement are tavo separate items. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he understands the property owners on 4th Street do not support the improvement of the all�y because of the assessment. He pointed out the purpose of the public hearing on March 9 would 6e to hear their comments and give them estimated costs of the improvement. h1r. Qureshi stated this has been a troublesome area for some time and the C�ty has received complaints about the bad access. He stated his hope was that a s�zea6le portton of the alley �mprovement would 6e 6orne 6y the property that would be going commerctal so the cost of the improvement wouid be substant�ally redu��� on the resident�al properties He po7nted out the properties along the State Highway serv�ce road have never paid any road assessment. Mr. Qureshi stated they are looking at a cost of about �7.OQ per assessable foot for the improvement, and this assessment could be spread over a ten year period, if that is the desire of the property owners. � Mrs. Vagovich, 5400 4th Street N.E., stated thls would be a difficult alley to maintain as it is narrow and the garages are close. She pointed out only a few people use the alley. She szated if a fence is installed on the left side of the ailey, some people will have a difficult time gett�na out and stated she didn't want the alley improved. A lady in the audience stated they would have no use for the aliey and didn't wan� the improvement. Another lady stated they are the youn9est people on this block and most of the others are senior cttizens on a lim�ted tncome and they don't need the alley. 5he felt, tf the alley was improved, it would only add additionai traffic th�y don't want and it wouldn't help anyone to have �t �mproved. Mr. Zimmerman.stated he wasspeaking for the property owner at 5370 4th Street, as he was unable to a�iend because of work. He stated this person has a garage facing the alley and uses the property owned by �r. Schurstein to obtain access and he would be hurt � far as access Councilman F�tzpatrick explained there w�ll be a public hearin� on th�s proposed 'alley improvement on P4arch 9 and felt the matter, of the rezontr�g and variances requested by Dr. Schurstetn should be taken up subsequent to the hearing on the alley improvement. P�107ION by Councilman Fitznatrick to ta61e these items on the rezoning and variances, as requested by �r. Schurstein, and to take these matters up � subsequent with the public hearing on the alley irnprovement. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Lpon a voice vote, all vot�ng aye, P9ayor Pdee declared the motion carried unanimously + � c�� REGULAR MEETI;dG OF FEBRUARY 23, 1981 PAGE 3 Mr. Chuck Schurstein stated the alley itself will create some problem as the easement is not sufficient to allow room for a person to get �nto the garage from the alley. He stated there is only one person using the alley and he would �ust rs soon block it off, and limit the access, as the best buffer would really be to have no access at all. Mr. Schurstein stated he is not sure he understands the method that the commerical property would be charged more than the restdential property for improvement of the alley. Mr. Schurstein asked if the question of the alley improvement can be a contingency attached to the rezonin�. Mr. Qureshi pointed out che rezoning covers a sizeable piece of property and if he is questioning if the Council has authortty to impose certain stipulations, from his experience, he would say they do. Mr. Schurstein stated he is questioning the ethics of doing so He felt these are two separate issues and both of them have to be unlinked. Mr. Quresh� stated the City has an obli9ation to the people in the area who have owned their property for a lon� time and the public hearing is necessary to determine what is the best way to provide access for everyone.

Seconded by Councilwoman Nloses. Upon a vo�ce vote, all voting aye, Playor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated at the last meeting the Council received an amended plat which called for deletion of three garages from the orig�nal Plat VI. , � ' � � , REGULAR P1ETING OF FEBRUARY 23, 1981 PAGE 4 Mri. Flora stated, since last week, representatives of the Farr Corporation have met with members of the Townhouse Association, and have requested the original plat be reapproved. Mayor Nee asked if staff studied the quest�on on the adequacy of p�rk�n9. Mr. Flora stated there are sufficient parking spaces for this development based onthe standards using the R-3 criteria of 1%z stalls for one bedroom apartment and z stall for each additional bedroom. He stated there is off- street parking in front of each unit in addition to the garage itself Mr. James Druck, attorney representing the Farr Corporation, stated they had lengthy negotiating sessions with the Townhouse Association and have resolved the parking tssue. He pointed out on the plat the area where they agreed to extend the parktng to the north and also to put in add�tional parking below the extsting garages, if this is necessary and the use pattern requires it. He stated they further agreed to put eight additional blacktop parking spaces into the 5th Addition. Mr. �ruck stated the parking is a little more than 2.9 cars per dwelling unit so this exceeds the code by almost double the minimum requ�rement. Mayor Nee pointed out the 2.9 figure is private parking stalls. Councilman Schneider asked the City's position on renewal of a plat. Mr. Herrick stated he would say if the area was entirely undeveloped, with no development started, the Council would have sane discretion in requirtng changes, however, �n thts case, some of the building and development is already started and, tn fact, some of the untts completed. He stated, from the practical standpoint, the Council couldn't ask the developer to completely abandon the concept. He stated, tn addition, it is his understanding, when the 5th and 6th Additions were approved, a written agreement was entered irito by the City and the developer as to what he would have to do in terms of that development and the developer may have some argument the City got their benefit from the agreement and he should expect to get his beneift Mr. Herrick stated he thought the Council has the authority to require adequate parkiny, but wouldn't adv�se them to make ma�or changes in the development at this time. Mr. �ruck felt, through Farr's planning and through the Townhouse Association, the people closest to this situation have come to an agreement and that should satisfy the Council's concerns. The Prestdent of the Townhouse Association stated ±hey have reached an agreement with the Farr Corporation as they do have a concern about adequate parktng. She stated the Farr Corporation would put 8 to 10 additional ,� park7ng sapces in the 5th Addition and also, as part of the agreement, they would blacktop parking spaces along the west side of East Brenner Pass. She stated they were also concerned about the landscaping and appearance and it should be an attractive area. She further stated, one section proposed for garages on the east side of East Brenner Pass, would be used for parking, if th�s is not sold for garages. She stated au�other concern was adequate lighting, as the l�ghting in the 5th Addition is not adequate, and Farr Corporation has agreed to provide this as well. She stated, in their discussion, they talked about eliminating parking on Brenner Pass and Mr. Farr has agreed to look at that and possibly post some "no parking" s�gns. The P�°es�dent of theTownhouse Association stated they will be getting �4 spaces on the west side of Brenner Pass, with the option to put �n more parking, and an additional 8 to 10 spaces in the 5th Additic�n. .� �t — �7 , -r-v THE REGULAR MEETING OF FEBRUARY 23, 1981 PAGE 5 Mayor Nee asked if there were any changes in the detail of the plat other than the garages. Mr. Flora stated, originally, there were six garage units in froimt of the ma�or buildings and now most of them have changed to five. Mr. Druck stated, when the original plat was submitted, lots for garages, but didn't know whether the lot would into a completed garage He stated the important thtng of garage lots has increased. He stated the lots on the portion of the plat will be improved as parking pads and be sold as separate garages. they had platted be developed is that the number lower right hand they will not Mr. Quresh� stated they want to eliminate 20 garages from the ortginal plat and provide about 24 additional parking spots. Mr. Herrick stated the one thing that is confustng is the plat shows lots, it doesn't show 9arages that at one time were designated for garages. He felt there should be an agreement with the developer that if garages are not built on some of the lots, there will be blacktopped parktng in lieu of the garages that weren't constructed. He felt there should be a memoran- dum of agreement to this effect when the plat is s�gned. RECESS: A recess was called by Mayor Nee at 8 35 p. m. RECONVENED. Mayor Nee reconvened the meeting at 3:45 p m. Al1 Council members were pmsent. Mayor Nee stated, during this recess, there was a meeting at the Council table to try and clarify the issues and to answer some of the questtons. He asked the City Manager to summarize what was being done �n this plat. P1r. Qureshi, Ctty Manager, stated the rev�sed plat provides_there would be at least 60 covered garages in this development and there would be 22 parking spaces along Lots 18, 19, 20 and 21 which would be a paved area to be ava�lable for off-street parking and these would be deeded to the Townhouse Assoc�ation. He stated the staff would also work w�th the Farr Corporation to see if Lots 1, 2, and 3 in Block 4, presently designated for garages, could be left open for future canmon parking. Mr. Qureshi felt any other considerations on the access problem could be solved at the staff level. f�1r. Druck stated they would not like to see a requirement they build more than one garage per unit, because they probablY wouldn't be a61e to sell them, and it would infringe on the open area. He would agree each unht should have an enclosed garage and beyond that, if they are able to sell some addittonal garages, they should have the ability to do this as long as they don't 6uild garages on Lots 18, 19, 20 and 21.
