PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF MARCH 9, 1981
OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
PAGE 2
Mr. Richard Stanton, 521 Rice Creek Boulevard, appeared before the Counc�l
to voice h�s comments regarding the Springbrook Nature Center. Mr. Stanton
stated �n no way shou1d his remarks be associated w}th h}s daily vocat�on.
Mr. Stanton stated he ob�ected to providing support to the Springbrook
Nature Center as he felt it would not be desirable in the future for its
intended use. He stated to allocate $121,000 to the nature center was
contrary to the best long range interests of the City and felt these
monies helong in the General Fund and not forever burden the City by
continuing the nature center.
Mr. Charles Ross stated in 1975 he was solicited by theSpringbrook Nature
Foundation for support of the nature center and he appeared before the
Council as a proponent of the nature center. He stated, at this time,
the Council was assured there was funding available and the nature center
would be totally privately funded. He felt on the basis of that information
and under those circumstances, the nature center should have an opportunity
to exist.
Mr. Ross stated he appears before the Council this evening embarrassed hts
name ever appeared associated wlth the nature center. He stated, when he
learned of the recent allocation of funds from Northern States Power for
the nature center, he was disappointed. He felt the Foundation hasn't
fulfilled their promises and thought it was time to re-evaluate the Council's
stand on the nature center. He felt the Council should examine the promises
that were made, before the Springbrook Nature Center was established, and
the procedures now being carried out.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:

AN D
2 PUBLIC HEARING ON STREET Ih1PROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1981-2:
MOTION by Councilwoman Moses to waive the reading of the public hearing
notices and open the pu6lic hearings. Seconded by Councilman Schnetder.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unan�mously and the public hearings opened at 7 47 p. m
Mr Flora, Public Works Director, stated the public hearings cover the
street tmprovements proposed tn the City for thts year.
Viron Road South 450 Feet to Existinq Viron Road Service �rive
Mr. Flora stated the first improvement to be considered is Viron Road.
Staff has worked with the property owners on this particular improver�ent
in attempt�ng to establish a 40 foot right-of-way.
Mr. Flora stated they are proposing to obtain 10 feet of right-of-way
from the Frostop Drive-In property and 30 feet from the ad,7acent parcel.
He stated the total estimated cosi is $34,69D to be split evenly with
parcel 2570 and parcel 2550.
Mr. G. Stanley Rischard, attorney representing the owners of the Frostop,
stated his clients feel since their parcel is about an acre and the other
parcel is about three acres, the proposed amount to be assessed would be
a disproportionate assessment. He stated the owners would not like any
land taken on the south or east portion of the property.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF MARGH 9, 1981 PAGE 3
Mr Flora stated, wti.h the scheduled improvements of Dsborne Road by
the County, where they will install a concrete median for traffic control,
it will not be poss�ble to exit to the bJest from Viron Road. He further
pointed out that traffic coming from the North would find it difficult to
get on Viron Road and proceed south. He stated, therefore, with �fL County's
improvement, staff is suggesting a dogleg around the property to allow
traffic to exit in either direction. He stated, because of the size of
the property, �t would be difficult to request a road easement or dedication.
Mr. Flora stated the owner of parcel 2550, Mr. Harris, initially agreed '
to the 30 foot easement, but later felt it would be a problem and he is
out of the state and will not be back unt�l April.
Dr. Dahl, 177 Hartman Circle, who �s proposing to open a chiropratic
off7ce on the Frostop site, stated the existing building is structurally
sound so the �dea of tear�ng it down really has no merit, at least not
at the present.
Dr. Dahl pointed out �f 10 feet are taken from the �ast side of the parcel,
�t will only leave 14 feet between the curb and back door and didn't feel
it should be taken from that side.
He felt the south boundary would also have to be taken into consideration
srnce the County has plans to rnstall a sidewalk alor7g Osborne Road and,
therefore, wouid take about 10 feet off the north boundary. He felt if
10 feet is taken off the east, south and north bourdaries of this parcel,
it would be a lot of trimming and was concerned what it would do to the
parcel as there wouldn't be anything left to build on,
Dr. Dahl also felt, because of the size of this parcel, it didn't seem
equitable to split the assessment equally with parcel 2550.
Mr. Quresh�, City Manager, stated if there is no great urgency on the part
of the owners of Frostop or the other property to develop, staff didn't '
feel strongly regarding the right-of-way. He felt this should be brought
to the property owners attention, however, because of the improvement of
Osborne Road.Councilman Schneider questioned tiaho initiated this improvement
and Mr. Flora stated it was �n�tiated by staff to be brou9ht up in con,7unction
with the County's imprc�vemeqt proaect �
Mayor Nee felt the question is if the property owners want the dogle�.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, pointed out the C�ty has done numerous loopbacks
and, essent�ally, �t has been paid by the adjoining properties. He stated
the reason for bringing this before Council is the potential safety problem
that exists there and th�s would be an extension of the improvement by the
County of Osborne Road, with the City trying to prov�de the loopback.
Mr. Hanson, 841 Kennaston Drive, stated they are not aga�nst the dogleo,
but against taking any amount of land
Councilwoman Moses asked if they didn't want the 10 feet taken off the
Frostop property, if they would be willing to make an agreement wtth the
other property owner for the fuli amount.
Dr. Dahl stated he appreciated the idea and it had crossed his mind, however,
the question is why he would pay Mr. Harris for the land and then split the '
assessment equally. Dr. Dahl felt he wouldn't benefit as much as Mr. Harris
as he wouldn't get any addtt�onal access to this property. He felt, with
the improvement, Mr. Harrts would have a frontage road and be able to split
his property into parcels.
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF MARCH 9, 1981 PAGE 4
Mr. Flora stated Mr. Harris felt it was unreasonable to take all the property
for the road from his parcel.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated both parttes have ob�ections to this
improvement. He stated Mr. Harris indicated to him he would rather not
have this loopback and would live with the access as it �s now. Mr. Qureshi
felt, from a safety standpoint, �t should be done He stated the public
heartng could be closed and staff could conintue to ne9otiate for an amiable
agreement.
� Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated Viron Road was assessed previously and
felt both property owners could argue they aren't any better off with the
loopback than they were before anythtng was done. He felt there may be a
pro6lem in saying the property benefitted by atleast the proposed assessment.
Councilman Fitzpatr�ck questioned if the Frostop parcel can be assessed for
access when they already paid an assessment for access off Utron Road.
Mr. Qureshi stated it has been done in the past with a number of loopbacks
in the Ctty, however, if the Council desires to change thetr policy, this
can 6e done. He felt the hearing should probably be closed and then staff
can meet with the property owners to try and reach an agreement.
fdOTION by Counctlman Schneider to close the hearing on this portion of the
proposed street improvement pro�ect, Viron Road. Seconded by Councilwoman
Moses. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carrted unanimously and the public hearing closed on this portion only of
the proposed street }mprovement pro3ect.
f�iadision Street (Osborne Road South 290 Feet):
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated, with the improvement of Osborne
Road, staff has been in contact with Unity Hosp�tal for improvements on
P9adtson Street. He stated it is proposed to expand this road to the west
� to allow access into the hospital parking lot and emergency service drive
P�r. Flora stated Mr. Haines, the Hospital Admim strator, contacted h�m this
morn m g and indicated he was in favor bf the improvement. He pointed out
the ent�re iinprovement will be assessed to Unity Hospital.
Commerce Circle East - South Ext. to Commum ty Park Park�ng lot:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this street vatll service the
6Jinfield development along �niversity Avenue and it is proposed to assess
three-fo�nths of the cost to Lot � on the east side of the street and one-
fourth of the cost to Lot 7 on the west side of the street. He stated the
road will also provide �access into the Community Park parking lot.
Councilwoman Moses asked if the width of the road was such that it wouldn't
discourage people to go north to the light.
Mr. Flora stated he felt those people living to the north would probably
extt in that dtrect�on and those living south would probably go along
the service road to 69th Avenue.
Mr. Qureshi stated, when 69th was no� signalized, a ma�or concern was
traffic crossing the highway with no signal.
� Ccuncilwoman Moses stated she wanted to make sure the w�dth of the road
would encourage people to go north. Mr. Quresh� felt the width of the road
wouldn't make any difference on the traffic flow, as people will pro6ably
proceed in the direction they live.
PUBLIC HEARING MEETItdG ON MARCH 9, 19d1

Councilwoman Moses asked about maktng the road wider so there could be
parking allowed on it. Mr. Qureshi felt there was ample parking in the
parking liot and if additaot�l park,�,ngti�Pt�e qceu�d the lois of the industrial
bu�ldtng4 could be used,
Mr. Flora pointed out the parking lot for the Coinmunity Park allows parking
for 200 cars.
No persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed improvement.
69th Avenue (Old Central Avenue East to Stinson Boulev
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated this road was improved to a minimum
standard tn 1968 and felt this was the time to upgrade it because of the
added traffic volume and additiorral traffic that willbe generated by the
Medtronic complex expansion. He stated all property on the north side
of 69th and the Anoka County °ark property on the south side of 69th will
be assessed for the street surfactng. He stated future overlay for the
southern portion of 69th is to be paid from State Aid Funds, as residential
property owners have been prev�ously assessed for street surfacing. Mr.
Quresh� stated, as far as the curbing, all affected properties that do
not have curbing will be assessed.
Mr. Quresht stated on the north side the total roadway would be irnproved
to the State Aid Standards which are now a minumum of 48 feet wide, with
an additional lane at the inter section of 69th and Central Avenue. He
stated the policy in the past has been to fully assess the iridustrial
roads against industrial properties, therefore, Medtronics would be
assessed for northly portion of the improvement abutting their property.
Mr. 1�1�ke Perkins, representing Medtronics, asked what the total cost would
be for this improvement pro�ect, and Mr. Flora stated the cost is approx�mately
$209,000.
Mr. Mike Perkins asked if the City knew if Ramsey County had any plans to
upgrade the�r portion of 69th Avenue. P1r. Flora stated i,he upgrading of
69th ,7,s �ncluded in their comprehensive plan, but he didn't h�ve a timetable
for this improvement.
Mr. Perkins stated, ori behalf of Medtronics, he would like to oppose tfie
total scope of the pro,7ect. He stated Medtronics earlier presented them
with an EAW document which contained facts and fiqures regarding the
adequacy of the road to approximately the year 2,000. He felt it would
6e more prudent to take a look at this pro,7ect on an increment basis.
Mr. Perk�ns stated, with the expansion, there will be about 800 more people
on the�r site, but didn't know if that would be a significant load on this
road. He pointed out there would be three different exits, two t� 69th and
one to Central Avenue. He stated he realized they are going to be the pr�me
benefactor of these improvements, but perhaps they could 6e phased over a
period of several years and would look to staff for recommendations on the
var�ous phases. Mr. Perkins stated a portion of the �mprovement could be
tied tnto what they are doing, that is, curb and gutter along the north
side.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated if all these improvements were done, the
actual assessment to the property would be in 1983 and after some years,
the overlay could be provided and the cost for this would be about $47,000
He stated the curbing and widening could be done and that would be a major
portion of the cost and approximately one-third would actually come about
five years from now.

Mr. Perkins asked if storm sewer improvements would be put in along with
the curb and gutter. Mr. Qureshi stated there is now an existing storm
sewer system that takes care of most of the roadway already so they
wouldn't have to put in any substantial system.
Councilman Barnette asked if the properties on the south would be assessed
about $1,OOD for curbtng.
� Mr. Ron Germandson, 139D 69th Avenue, stated he thought their road was
very good until last fall and , as he understands, all they are leoking
for now is a concrete curb, the roadway is adequate.
Mr. Qureshi stated the road would be substantia7ly improved, but it would
be unfair to burden the res�dential properties w�th such a high assessment,
therefore, staff has recommended they would only pay for the concrete
cur6ing. Mr. Germundson voiced no ob�ection to the concrete curb. Both
Mr. Tikkanen, 14D0 E9th Avenue and Mr. Bacon, 1350 69th Avenue, were also
present and indicated they had nu ob�ectton to the curbing.
Councilrnan Schnetder asked Mr. Perkins what he meant about proceeding on an
increment 6asis, and wondered if he �s opposing the proposal as it is now.
Mr. Perkins stated they would l�ke to see it spread out and the assessments
paid in different year.
Mr. Qureshi felt the City can work with Medtronics on that basis. He stated
they would like to proceed with the improvement and to extend the life of
the existing roadway, but w�ll do as much as possible to keep the assessment
as low as poss�ble. Mr. Qureshi stated he realizes Medtronics is putttng a
heavy investment in the�r expansion and can appreciate their concern.
No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed improvement.
73rd Avenue - 400 Feet West of West Comnerce Circle:
� Mr. Flora stated, currently, 73rd Avenue terminates at West Commerce Circle.
He pointed out Minco does have plan� for expansion some time in the future.
He stated they have �een working with the property owners on extending the
street and determining the length and also the requirement for the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Qureshi stated the proposal is to finish the curbing and build any
portion of the roadway that needs to be built before the final inat is laid.
He stated the length on how far this should extend is negotiable, as far as
the City is concerned.
Mr. Karl Schurr, one of the property owners, appeared before the Council
and read a letter dated March 9, 1981 in which he and the other property
owners felt �he improvement wasn't a good investment at this ttme hecause
there is no current need for the extension. He stated the plans to build
on the property to the south are in the early formative stage and it is not
known if the street extension will be needed to serve the property. He
further pointed out any expans�on of Minco may make a street extensiori
desirab1e, however, no expansion is anttcipated during the next several
years. He stated it did not make sense to have $45,000 invested which is
neither producing nor serving a useful purpose and the property owners
request the Council to defer this �mprovement until it is acutally needed
Mr. Schurr stated the letter is stgned by he and his wife, as well as Mr.
Dallas Anderson and Mr. Gene Hetland.
, Mr. Qureshi stated the City is doing a substantial portion of 73rd this
year, hut if the owners feel they want to wait, the staff doesn't have
any strong feelings about this improvement. He stated since this improvement
would only serve two properties, it can be done when they want it.

Pl1BLIC HEARING MEETING OF MARCH 9, 1981 PAGE 7
73rd Avenue - 300 Lin Ft. East and West of the Intersection of Universit
Avenue at 73rd Avenue:
Mr. Flora stated thts improvements is to �ncrease the w�dth to provide
turning lanes on both sides of University Avenue. This pro,7ect would
also include �mprovement of the Un�versity Avenue East Service Driv�.
No persons in the audtence spoke regarding this proposed �mprovement.
Allev Improvement - Between Universitv and 4th from 53rd to 54th Avenues
Mr. Qureshi, C�ty Manager, stated because the Council was considering a
rezoning in this area, staff felt it may be the time to consider improvement
of the alley. He stated, from observing the property today, the driven
por•tion of the alley is not on the easement. He stated the portion being
driven on �s probably six to ten feet off the platted alley.
Mr. Quresh� stated tf the Council felt improvement of the alley isn't the
right approach, then enough space should be providetl to give extra room
for the property owners to get in and out of their garages.
Mayor Nee stated the estimated cost for th�s improvement would be $10.04
a front foot.
Mrs. Vagovich, 5400 4th Street, felt, if the alley is improved, they would
have more problems and a public nuisance.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated the only reason some of the owners are able
to use their gara9es is they are using property that is actually west of
the alley easement.
Mr. Zimmerman, 5380 4th Street, stated Mr. Kappes �s his neighbor and has
used the alley for 20 years and questioned the width. Councilman Fitzpatrick
stated the total alley width is 12 feet.
Mr. Zimmerman stated he would oppose the improvement if it were to be
assessed.
Mr. Chuck Schurstein presented some slides show�ng the alley from various
angles and pointed out the number of encroachments in the alley.
Mr. Qureshi stated if it is the desire of the property owners to improve
the alley this would 6e the appropriate time to do it, in con�unction with
the rezoning. If the desire is not to �mprove the alley, then he felt
additional right-of-way should be requested from the property owner asking
for the rezoning so the persons affected can, basically, use the property
as they are now.
�r. Schurstein stated he has been through three generations of trying to
develop this property. He stated he was sorry about Mr. Kappes being cut
off from the alley as that is a bad situation and he would allow him access,
but was told he would have to install fencing.
Mr. Chuck Schurstein stated two-thirds of the people from the residential
area don't wish to have the alley and the commerical people don't want
the alley, the quest�on is what they are going to do with the alley.
Mr. Steven Hanson, 5333 University Avenue, feli the rezoning �s one problem
and,the othen as that a lot of residents don't want the alley and don't use
it._ He stated the ones that use the alley are residents of the apartment
buildinig and one home owner. He suggested put�ng �n the improvement up to
the apartmerit building and the one home to g�ve this person the access he
needs.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF MARCH 9, 1981 PAGE 8
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the question of abandon�ng the alley is
completely different than improving it and the City can't a�andon the alley,
unless there is 100% agreement by the property owners. He stated it would
seem to him the concerned people should meet with staff and work something
out. He po�nted out the distinction of improving the alley and abandoning
tt are two different questions.
Mr. Chuck Schurste�n stated they want to work with the City in solving this
problem, but want to know their stand. He stated they originally worked out
the plan that they should provide access to the property owner.
Ur. Schurstein stated what they want to trade off �s for him to pay for the
al1ey in order to gei the rezonrng and variances
Mayor Nee stated he thought when this came to a hearing several weeks ago,
they had an agreement and, obviously, the� did not.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated the item before the Council now is a public
hearing on the alley improvement and closing the hearing does not preclude
liow they are go�ng to proceed from there.
No other persons �n the audience spoke regarding th�s proposed improvement.
