diameter circle that is 113 square feet in area and the second sign was
erected in 1977 and is a 50 square foot gas price sign. Mr. Flora stated the
existing signs were erectec] under the old ordinance and with gas pricing
competition today, the petitioners stated they must have a way of advertising
their products effectively.

they have changed the use of the 50 square foot sign, and, therefore,
reoomnended denial of the variance.

standing sign fram the 80 square feet permitted by the code to 150 square
feet.
Mr. Flora stated there is an existing 5 x 15 foot pylon sign at this
intersection which is used by 10,000 Auto Parts, however, Tile Factory Outlet
felt additional signage was needed due to poor visibility of the store itself.
aDiJNCIL �� OF J[]NE 20. 1983 pAGE 4
Mr. Flora stated Tile Factory Outlet has requested an addition to the existing
sign of 5 x 15 feet and this location would only be acceptable to their use,
if the variance is granted, in order to provide them with the needed
advertising exposure.
Mr. Flora stated the �peals Canmission recomnended approval of the variance
with the stipulation that the new signage not be put up �til the present wall
signage is cleaned up and brought up to the maintenace portion of the oode.
He stated they also recomnended staff direct a letter to 10,000 Auto Parts
advising them of the Appeals Conmission decision and recor�unendation and that
the new sign be of similar design and structure as the existing sign and the
base of the sign improved through refinishing and installation of a planter.

by the Ap�peals Catmission, but has received no reply as of this date.

footage of a free standing sign from the permitted 80 square feet to 150
square feet for the property at the corner of University and Mississippi with
the follawing stipulations: (1) the new signage not be put up until the
present wall signage is cleaned up and brought up to the maintenance portion
of the oode; and (2) the new sign be of similar design and structure as the
existing sign and that the base of the sign be improved through refinishing
and installation of a planter and plantings, as approved by City staff.
Seconded by Councilman Fitzgatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
vauTAtx'F R�Y'[��r Tp �)CE THF SIDE YARD SEI'B�Qt '_m A.Lrn�l PART OF
A OONVERTID GARAGE TO BE USID FOR A BEAUI'Y SHC?P. 901 WER�N D�IVE:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this variance is requested in order
to allaw a portion of a converted garage to be used for a beauty shop at 901
Overton Drive at the oorner of Able Street and Overton Drive.
Mr. Flora stated the neighboring property awner, Mrs. Doyle, strongly opposed
the idea at the Appeals Commission meeting and the Appeals Commission
recomnended denial of the variance to reduce the side yard setback from 10
feet to 5 feet to allaw conversion for part of the garage to be used for a
beauty shop.
He stated the real question is whether to allow a living space within five
feet from a side yard line of the neighbor's garage.
Mayor Nee asked if this wasn't c3ef ined as living area, if there would be a
problsn.
Mr. Flora stated there probably woulch�'t be a problem, however, it was defined
as livi.ng area because people being in that area c�ange it fram the definition
of storage and accessors use.
Councilman Ha¢nernik asked if sameone put in a workshop if it would be def ined
as living space. Mr. Flora stated a workshop would be a limited use and, in
this case, the space w�ould be used every day.
�� J�. M��!��1�. �� 11�� � ' _ �
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, asked if it was a question of living space or a
hame occupation.
Mr. Flora stated staff's position was it would be used on a daily basis, not
only by the resiclents, but by other persons and, therefore, classif ied it as
living sgace.
Mr. Glenn Van Aulzen, the petitioner, stated the State Board of Cosmetology
has stated that a beauty shop shall not be in any living sgace of a home. He
stated this adds more to the complexity of the stivation as the City
classifies a beauty sho,p as living space and the State Board says it can't be
living space.
Mr. Van Hulzen stated a beauty shop could be put in their basement, however,
they wished to have it located in a portion of their garage which is now
storage area and is adjacent to the Doyle's garage.
Mr. Van Hulzen stated if the beauty shop has to be located in the basement,
there would be a walk along the east side of his hane, with an entry door put
in the back of the home into the basement area.
Mr. Van Hulzen stated it was suggested at the Appeals Ccmmission meeting that
the shop vould probably be located in a better place and provide entry from
Able Street. Mr. Van Hulzen pointed out there is a very narrow setback on
Able Street and, further, the basement would have to be completely remodeled
to accamodate a beauty shop at that end of the home.
Mr. Van Hulzen stated if the Council allaws the variance, the window on the
side of the garage would be closed and the existing garage door would be
removed and replaced with a bay window. Mr. Van Hulzen stated he would
install a hedge, as a sight and sound barrier between his property and the
Doyle's, to eliminate Mrs. Doyle's ooncern about the traffic since this is her
basic objection.
Mr. Van Hulzen stated he would make a oomnittment they vaould have only normal
working hours. Mr. Van Hulzen stated he felt they have reduced their own
personal traffic on Overton, when the garage was built with the entrance on
Able Street, and the beauty shop shouldn't generate any m4re traffic than what
their awn family generated when they were using the garage are which faces
Overton Drive.
Councilman Barnette stated it seemed Mr. Van Hulzen's plan for persons to
enter the beauty shop in front of the home, rather than going around the side
of the home and entry to the back through the basement, would actually
restrict traffic to the Doyle's area.
Mrs. Carolyn Doyle, 921 Overton Drive, stated her biggest objection is having
a beauty shop next to her home. She stated they bought a home in a
residential are and didn't want to be located near a business.
Mrs. Doyle reviewed her concerns, as outlined in a letter of May 25, 1983,
regarding a beauty shop being so close to their home; the fact the variance
would stay in effect if the Van Hulzen's would move ar1c7 there were new awners;
and the affect it would have on the value of their home and property.
Mayor Nee asked if a hedge was there between the properties if this would be
more acceptable. Mrs. Doyle stated it would close them in even more so it
almost makes it worse.
�� )�. � „I�!� ��. • 1)�� �

C7ouncilman Barnette asked if a variance was granted to a person or to the
property. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney stated, generally, variances are granted
to the property.
Mrs. Doyle stated if the Van Hulzen's should sell, the variance would still be
valid for the property. Councilman Barnette felt this was a legitimate
ooncern.
Councilman Schneider stated what this oomes down to is that the Van Hulzen's
will have a beauty shop in their home, as it is permitted under home
occupations. If the variance is granted, the entry will be in the front and
if it is not granted, Mr. Van Hulzen stated he would have a walkway to the
side and an entry in the back to the basement. He stated regardless of
whether a beauty shop is located in the garage or in the basement, it will
still be the same distance fram Mrs. Doyle's home.
Mrs. Doyle felt if the beauty shop was located in the basement it at least
wouldn't be so close to her property.
Cbuncilman Hamernik stated there are two persons in his area who have beauty
shops in their hame and he didn't see any problsns with traffic.
Mayor Nee stated he couldn't see where this hame occupation of a beauty shop
would be any distrubance in the neighborhood.
Mrs. Doyl:e stated she just felt opposed to it and wanted to express her
thoughts.
Councilnan Hamernik stated he called the Qzairman of the Appeals C,onmission to
cliscuss this with her. He stated she agreed there were points that had been
made since their meeting which would shed a different light on how they
approached it or their thinking on it. He stated he had talked with some of
the neighbors in the area and they felt it was a desirable situation.
Mr. Dick Rrdcier, 920 Overton Drive, stated he was not concerned about the
traffic and spoke in favor of the variance. He felt the plans to add a bay
windaw w�ould enhance the property.
Mr. Brent Doyle, 921 overton, stated he felt the Council is missing a
signif icant point and it isn't the beauty shop that should be the ooncern, but
the granting of the variance. He statec3 once the variance is granted, it is
for the life of the property. if the variance is grantecl, it gives permission
to use this area as living space. He felt the requirement of the code is
there for a reason and the question of the beauty shop shouldn't even enter
into it.
Ae stated the Appeals Ca�mission voted unanimously to �leny the variance and
once the variance is granted, it sets a precedent.
Mr. Doyle stated, as far as the concept of a hedge, it isolates him and his
hame and puts him where he can't see out.
Mr. Doyle stated the statement that if the Gomnission had all the facts, they
might have voted differently he doesn't know what they would do, but if this
is the case, he felt it should be referred back to them.
Mr. Doyle felt, in any case, it is in violation of the code if it is living
space and if the variance is granted, it can be used as living space for the
Van Hulzen's or any one else that moves into this hame in the future.
�� J�. 1 ,����yl�. • 11�1 � ' _ �!
Mayor Nee explained the reason there is an appeal procedure is to make
ac3justments in the ordinance because sometimes the rigid application isn't
reasonable. He stated a nimiber of side yard variances have been granted in
order to make something work better, and the legalism of it is flexible.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated perhaps the question of the
definition of living space versus home occupation use should be clarified.
Mr. Herrick felt if this matter is referred back to the Commission, there
should be some guidance given in order for them to make the determination.
MOTION by Councilman Hamernik to direct staff to forward to the Appeals
Camnission informaton so a determination can be made as far as what is living
space and refer this variance request back to the Ap�eals Canmission. Seconded
by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Mrs. Doyle stated she thought the ordinance has always been in effect in
Fridley.
Councilman Schneider stated the question is the def inition of living space,
however, the ordinance regarding the setback requirement has been in effect
for some time.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated there is a code that indicates how far the
living area has to be fram adjacent property, however, the question hasn't
arisen before whether this type of business should be classified as living
area and felt there should be more research to see if ther is any precedent.
Mrs. Arlene Breitenfeldt, 980 Overton Drive, spoke in favor of the beauty shop
and the variance and stated she dic�'t feel there would be a traffic problen.
Mrs. Rreqner, 920 Overton, felt it would be nice to have the bay window in
front of the Van Hulzen's and spoke in favor of the beauty shop.

this was a joint bid with Col�mibia Heights and New Brighton and six bids were
received.
Mr. Flora stated it was felt the bid for the joint and crack resealing was
reasonable and oo�ipetitive, however, the price for removing anc] replacing

hi, City Manager
At the May 18, 1983. Planning Comnission meeting a nun�ber of comments
were brought about by the public pertaining to rezoning the parcel on
the corner of Mississippi and Highway #65. The following inforn�ation
is submitted in response to the issues identified in the Planning
Commission minutes.
1. Traffic outlet from the development onto Mississippi wouid be
hazardous--that is the staff position and would prefer the entrance
off of Lucia Lane.
ACTIONI INFO•
2. Sewer problems--the sanitary sewer line starts at Mississippi and
Lucia Lane. The line would be improved with services connected from
this devetopment thereby reducing city maintenance of an existing low
fl ow line. -
3. Water line size--the area is serviced by a 10 and 6 inch water
line. With the iooping of the 6 inch line i� 1981, we do not have a
problem with water service in this area.
4. Tree destruction--reviewing an overlay of the proposed develop-
ment on an aerial photograph indicates approximately 14 trees will
have to be removed. '

Mr. Deblon stated the pruperty is �ocated on the corner of Mississippi St, and
TH 65, west of Lucia Lane. The proposal is far a rezoning from R-1 to R-3.
and would consist of a condominium development where the occupants form an
association and own the land jointly. The proposal is for three twin
homes : combined with an eight-unit carriage-manor type home.
Mr. Deblon stated the project has been moved over to the west away from Lucia
lane with access onto Mississippi because of the developer's sensitivity to
the existing single family residences.
1C
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 18, 1983 _ __ PAGE 2
Ms. Gabel asked if the project met all the setback requirements.
Mr. Deblon stated a variance from 35 feet to 25 feet would be needed on the
north property line.
Mr. Deblon stated the plan meets all the parking requirements. and there is the
potential to make visitor parking.
Mr. Deblon stated that condominiums can be dissolved and the properties sold
individualiy in the future, so Staff f�ad to take into consideration the possi-
bility of the properties being splii witfiout turther variances. With the new
zero lot line subdivision regulation,some of tF�e double bungalow units could qo
zera lot line as a twin home. This f�as been allowed in Fridley in the past.
This plan does meet most of the requirements for a possible subdivision in the
future.
Mr. Deblon made the following additional comments on the proposal.
1. A variance is required from 35' to 25' on the north property line.
2. Fencing and landscaping is required for district separation.
3. Drainage p]an is required (Rice Creek Watershed District has to
approve this drainage plan).
4. Concrete curbing and blacktop per standard code requirements
5. Will need an additional 20 foot easement for bikeway/walkway ,roadway.
6. Engineering Department F�as a concern about the location of the
access onto Mississippi St. in relationship to the access onto
Highway 65. The distance is only 160 feet. With the County's
plans for widening Mississippi for a right turn lane and the number
of cars already existing on Mississippi, Engineering vias very
concerned that there could be congestion and some problems.
Mr. Deblon stated there are some rather deep lots north of this property. He
did not know if any of the owners of these lots had any plans for subdivisior�.
He stated there is enough square footage to divide, but they would not be very
optimum lots because of the traffic on Highway 65; however`, the City has to
consider any future access to these iots. It was a judgement call that might
have to be determined as to whether these lots would ever be split.
Ms. Schnabel asked where the garages were located and which way the buildings
would face.
The petitioner, Mr. Erickson stated the garages were located in the inner court.
The rear elevation and backyards will face Lucia Lane. The rear elevation will
have a deck and patio door on the upper level one-half fiight up.
Ms. Schnabel asked if Mr. Erickson had built any of these types of dwellings in
the metropolitan area.
Mr. Erickson stated he has built in Coon Rapids, Eden Prairie, New Hope, and
Brooklyn Park.
1D
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 18, 1983 PAGE 3
Ms. Schnabel asked that of the buildings he has built,were any of them rental
units?
Mr. Erickson stated that since 1980, he has bui]t only owner-occupied. All
these units wiil be owner-occupied and wil) be FHA/VA approved.
Ms. Schnabel asked the approximate price of the units.
Mr. Erickson stated Lhe twin homes wil� run in the mid-60's with the double
bungalows being just under that.
Ms. Schnabel asked what type of screening Mr. Erickson would use between this
property and the R-1 properties.
Mr. Erickson stated he was thinking of wooden fencing; however, because the lot
is so heavily wooded, it was hard to decide what to do for ]andscaping. He
stated he would save every tree he could.
Mr. Saba asked why the rear of the double bungalows would face Lucia.lane.
Mr. Erickson stated there were two reasons for this: (1) He wanted to keep the
project centralized so everyone could use the same road for snow p7owing and
other maintenance; and (2} the biggest comR�aint from the neighborhood seemed to
be to not put any more traffic on Lucia Lane. By facing the buildings in, this
kept the traffic off Lucia Lane.
Ms. Schnabel stated she was a little bit concerned about the plainness of the
rear of the buildings facing Lucia Lane when all the rest of the homes on Lucia
Lane are facing front. It seemed inconsistent with the neighborhood, yet she
understood what Mr. Erickson was saying in terms of traffic.
Mr. Erickson stated this is not inconsistent in condo developments. A numher
of condo developments are done this way.
Mr. Saba asked Mr. Erickson if he would consider turning the buildinqs around
to face Lucia Lane.
Mr. Erickson stated he would consider turning the buildings around; however,
because of the heavily wooded area, he did not think the buildinqs could be
seen that well from Lucia Lane anyway. If the buildings were turned around,
a lot of trees wou]d be iost becaase of the dr;veways.
Ms. Schnabel nsked for questions and concerns from the people in the audience.
Mr. Russell Burris, 1150 Mississippi St., stated he would like to submit to the
Planning Commission a copy of his objections. He reviewed it for the Carmission:
1. Spot zoning.
2. Traffic congestion - exit on Mississippi St. would be hazardous.
3. Good or poor construction and cost per unit rental or homeowner.
4. Sewer problems - Burris and Lane are on dead end sewer line. City
has to backflush this from time to time to keep sewer line open. A
separate sewer line to Lucia Lane is a must for which the homeowners
would be assessed on their #axes.
lE
PLANNING CQMMISSION MEETING,� MAY 18, 1983 PAGE 4
5. What would prevent an i�vestor from buying a unit and renting it out?
6. Garbage pickup - where would cans be placed?
7. 14 units probab7y would mean up to 28 cars. How many children?
8. Back of condo faces Lucia Lane which wouid not enhance the neighborhood.
That would also mean children playing in backyard and running out on
Lucia lane.�.
Mr. Burris stated that a few years Dack, the City of Fridiey hired a reputable
zoning company, and paid good money for them to rezone Fridley. Said company
conformed the original findings of R-1 and recomnended this property remain R-1.
Mr. Burris stated it has been the concensus of the homeowners surrounding this
property that three nice residentia] homes could be built on the property. This
would then solve the problem once and for all. The homeowners would like to see
this area developed as it should, according to the regulations and requirements
of the zoning commission.
Ms. Schnabel read the following letter from June Johnson, 6600 lucia Lane:
"Inasmuch as I cannot attend your meeting to�ight with reference to the
property on Mississippi and Highway 65. I would like to express my thoughts
on the matter. Lucia Lane has been zoned for single family homes for many
years with the exception of the apartments on the north end of the lane.
I do not feel it to be proper to have a mu]tiple dwelling of the size
proposed for the corner property. I feel there would be too much disrup-
tion of traffic because of the entryway on Mississippi. Traffic going in
either direction wiil be hampered by the cars going into or out of the lot.
I purchased this home with the belief that this would remain a single
family area, and I wou7d like to have it remain so so that my property
values will not be affected. We have a lot of extra traffic from the
apartments and the Knights of Columbus Hall at the north end."
Mr. Clarence Timo, 6517 Lucia Lane, presented a written petition for denial
and objection to the reioning request. He stated his oDjections were essentially
the same as those expressed by Mr. Burris.
1. Spot rezoning
2. Traffic problems and hazards
a. Traffic frora KC Hall and apartments to the north already cause
congestion.
b. Highway 65 and Mississippi St. intersection already has a
history of many serious (and some fatal) accidents.
c. The driveWay area within Lhe complex riould be like a huge parking
lot, with possibly not enough room to safely accomnodate up to
28 vehicl�s. Traffic movement within the area w►ould pose dangers
to residents and smaii children.
d. Heavy traffic flow on all three sides of the proposed site would
definite7y pose a safety hazard to children whose play areas would
be adjacent to the traffic.
1F
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 18, 1983 PAGE 5
3. Depreciation of home values
a. Loss of beautiful trees
b. O�plexes and multip7e dwellings are not as carefully maintained
in general as single famiiy homes.
4. Burden on homeowners
a. Sewer and water mains are not equipped to handle such a large
increase in population in such a small area.. A sewer back-up
problem a7ready exists.
5. Increased density would not be consistent with urban and city planning
which is designed to protect the quality of residential life.
6. Residents bought homes with the knowledge this property was zoned R-1,
and they want the area to remain R-1.
Ms. Bystram, 6533 Lucia Lane, stated her concern was with off-street parking.
Besides the 14 units with possibly two cars for each unit, there are also going
to be guests. Sometimes it is easier to park on the street, and the only p7ace
to park would be on Lucia Lane. With the apartments north on Lucia� there is
ample parking, but still there are cars parking on the street. That had to be
stopped with "no parking" signs in front of the homes.
Ms. Schnabel asked if there was guest parking within the interior of the
development.
Mr. Deblon stated that according to the first draft p1an, there is no guest
parking, but some areas have been discussed for guest parking.
Ms. Irene Haedtke, 6540 Lucia Lane, stated she would be very unhappy if she was
"boxed" in by this development. There are beautiful trees on this lot. and in
looking at the drawing of the development, she knew there would not be one oak
tree left on that lot. Single family homes would be fine, because some of the
trees could be saved. For ecology reasons, she did not think the developnent was
feasible.
Mr. Eugene Lane, 1132 Mississippi St.. stated he has lived in Fridley for 32 years.
In the morning between the hours of 6:00 and 9:00 and between 4:00 and 7:00 in
the afternoon, the intersection at Mississippi and Highway 65 is very busy. It
is not feasible to put that much additional new traffic onto Mississippi.
Mr. Henry Melcher, 6500 Pierce St., stated he would like to reinforce what the
residents have already said. At 7:00 a.m. he has trouble making a left hand turn
onto Mississippi. At 3:00-5:00 p.m., the cars are backed up past Lucia Lane
past his house ta get through the Mississippi/Highway 65 intersection. Mr. Timo
had talked about the great number of accidents at this intersection, and Mr. Melcher
stated this couid be reinforced by iooking at the police reports.
Mr. MelcF�er stated he and F�iS wife paced thi5 area oft. and tf tfiis development •
went into this area, tF�ere would v{rtuatly not be any oak trees left.on thP lot.
He stated tt►is is also too high a density to put into this area.
1G
pLANNING CONMISSION MEETING. MAY 18, 1983 PAGE 6
Mr. Cory Bystram, 6533 Lucia �ane, stated his house would be facing the back
end of the two double bungalows. He stated he has been delivering papers for
six years, and he knows a little about wf�at people leave in their back yards.
Ne did not think they should have to look at these back yards and what might be
left there. If there is only one garage for each unit, where are people going
to store their lawn mowers, equipment, bicycles, and other things people usually
store in a garage? ,
Mr. Joe Randall, 1210 Mississippi St., stated his family was involved in an acci-
dent at the intersection of Mississippi and Highway 65. He stated he rides the
bus and has a difficult time crossing Highway 65 to catch the bus. It is a highly
congested area. The oak trees are fantastic. He would like to see this area stay
zoned residential as the zoning camiission originally said.
Ms. Bystram, 6533 Lucia Lane, stated that in hearing the price range of the condo
units, there is likely to be a lot of families with small children. She did not
see any additional planning for play areas for these children.
Mr. Dean Thomas, 6550 Lucia Lane, stated he also agreed with everything that has _
been said, He would be very unhappy to see this development. It is too many
people in too smali an area, and they wouid lose the beautiful trees.
Mr. Darrel Goerdt, 6610 Lucia Lane, stated earlier in the meeting Mr. Deblon
had mentioned the deep lots and whether any�of the owners of these lots would
consider subdividing their lots in the future. He stated he bought his lot
because it is e deep lot, and he would never consider subdividinq it.
Mr. Erickson stated that some of the remarks he had heard seem to imply that
second class citizens will be going into this development. He disagreed 100�.
There will be a homeowners' association which �as very rigid rules, so there wil]
not be any trashy back yards. 7he maintenance is all hired out and none of the
owners have any responsibility for the upkeep.
Ms. Gabel stated she agreed with Mr. Erickson. It has been her experience that
haneowners' associations do a very good job in maintaining a condo project.
She also agreed with the comnent that with the price range, these units will
probab7y be first family homes and starter homes, and there probably would be a
lot of children. She thought the idea of a play area should 6e considered in
the project.
Mr. Erickson stated he would be paying a large park fee and he felt that was
adequate. He thought the bulk of the buyers wi71 be empty nesters, retired people.
This is based on the flow of buyers that are turning up in the different condo
projects around the metropolitan area--App1e Vailey, Eden Prairie, North Oaks,
Coon Rapids.
Ms. Joyce Swanson, 660� Lucia Lane, stated this was a11 pure speculation, and
they rea]�y do n�t know who wi]] move into these units. This is an R-1 zoning,
and there will be a density problem, traffic problems, and sewer and water problems.
There wili be no oak trees. There wiil be c�i7dren. There wiil be parking on
Lucia Lane, and people will be walking through back yards.
1H
PLANNIWG COMMISSION MEETING � MAY 18,�1983 � � _ PAGE 7
Ms. Bystram stated that at this point, she thought they had to be realistic
and maybe there needs to be some kind of balance. If this property was rezoned
to R-3, was there any possibility of the developer reducing the nunber of units?
She would like to see this as an option.
Mls. Schnabel asked Mr. Erickson if he aould consider reducing the number of units.
Mr. Erickson stated he would not.
1�lOTION BY MS. GABEL, SE�CONDED BY l�2. SABA, T�0 CLOSE TXE PUBLIC XEARING ON
20A M83-03 BY L. ROBERT ERICKSON.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTZNG AYE, CHAIRWQNAN SCXNABEL DECIARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING CLOSED AT 9:?D P.M.
Mr. Saba stated that one of the main objections expressed by the citizens was
the sewer problem. Was there rea]ly a sewer problem?
Mr. Deblon stated that Nas a question that would have to be answered by the
Engineering Oepartment. Engineering had not expressed any concern regarding
this proposal. Routine maintenance is 6eing done continually on the sewer system.
He stated he would check the record to see if there would be a problem as far as
capacity and get this information back to the Planning Comnission or the City
Council.
Ms. Schnabel stated the sewer problem should definitely be checked with Engineering.
Also, no matter what development eventually goes on this lot, something else that
should be checked with Engineering is wf�at tF�e County's intention is in terms of
a right turn lane.
Ms. Gabel stated she had to speak against the rezoning. She felt it was a spot
rezoning. The zoning is inconsistent with the neighborhood and the planning
done over the years. She was also concerned with the sewer, and they needed
more information about it. 7he traffic problems are obvious, but the biggest
problem she had with it was the spot rezoning.
Mr. Oquist stated he agreed with Ms. 6abe7. It was spot rezoning; however, some-
t�ing �ill be done with this property, and F�e did not tF�ink anyone would be
putting in single family homes. He was also concerned about the traffic.
Mr. Kondrick stated it would be great to be able to leave that property vacant;
however, they have to consider the �verall good of the cortmunity. Housing is
needed in the City. He liked the set-up of the homeowners' association. He also
could not imagine anyone wanting to live in a single family home on this corner.
de agreed that it was spot rezoning, but his main concern was the traffic.
Mr. Saba stated he did not have as many objections with the spot rezoning, because
he felt it would never be devel�ped as R-1. He had a problem with the density.
He would rather see the double bunga7ows facing Lucia Lane, and he would prefer
to see two nare double bunga]ows instead of the carriage-type homes.
lI
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 18, 1983 PAGE 8
Mr. Oquist stated the other side of the issue is that the City needs to provide
what is called "affordable housing", and this is affordable housing.
Ms. Schnabel stated she was concerned about the density. She felt it was more
units than she would like to see go into this area. She, too,shared the concern
about spot rezoning, 6ut also did not see single family homes ever going in
there.
Mr. Saba stated he liked the concept despite the objections. He could see a
development like this going in there eventually, but with fewer units.
Mr. Debion stated he �ooked at the positioning of this development as creating
a quieter environment for the homes on Lucia Lane. He stated the concerns
expressed were very valid, but he thought this was a positive aspect of a develop-
ment of this nature.

I�aanuch as I cannot attend your seeting tonight,
Mith reference to the property at Missigsippi and Highxay 65.
I vould like to express �y thoqghts on the satter.
Lucia l.ane has been soned for single fami2y homes for
aany years xith the exception of the apartments on the north
end of the Lane. I do not feel it to be proper to have a
nu2tiple dxellirig of the sise preposed for the corner praperty.
I feel there xould be too auch disruption of traffic because
of the entzy�+ay on Mississippi. Traffic going in either
direction would be hampered by the cars going irrto or out of
the lot. I purchased this home in the belief that this rrould
remain a single-family area and xould like it to remain so
so that ay property values xill not be affected. iie have a lot
of extra traffic fron the apaztments and the KC Hall at the

Tp: t,7TY OF FRI'�I�Y PLANNING W�L'�IISSI0�1 AND C1TY OOODi�L:
�
Ke, as reaidenLS of Lhe City of �idley, Hinnesota, do hereby protest the zoning
requeat described i�i ZOA �ts3-03, for the iollowing reasons:
l. �ubject re-zoninR a��licatiun is a request for S.°OT s.onin�; Lhat is to at�y,
the olacinR of Qeneral �ulti�le �retli��r� (x-3) right in the �iedle oi us ho�ne-
oxnera and citizens of �idley, totallv surrounded by residential single-fa�nily
lots t.oned aa ?t-1 (single fa�aily dwellinR unita).
2. 1RA�'IC P'303I.��IS AND �iAZA.�tDS:
(a) The �Kni�hts of ^olu:nbus �iall� at the North end of Iucia Lane has a nu�nber
of flinctions ¢oinQ ori at all ti�nes, and all vehicles returning from these functions
aa Well as those fro�n the Lucia Lane Aoart�nent cor.►olex are routed South on Iucia
Lane (tr.ere beine no exit at the Yorth end) to �neet all traffic Lravelling East and
West on i�.ississi�vi Street, alrpady know� for its congestion �roblems at this �eint.
(b) The x��hway #55 an�] Mississi�vi Street intersection already has a history of
taany aerious (and so�ne fatal) acci�ients at this corner. Think what a greater hazard
�.ould be created if increase�i tra!'i`ic atte�nDtin� to :nake a left turn fro�n Lhe �iest
onto the orovosed site �uld cotlide with traf°ic �oine '�Testerly tryinQ to rac�+ for
the green li�ht at the intersPCtion of HiQhway #�b5 and :lississiDpi Street! Also,
there is the danQer of rear-ending b!v tra.°fic heacied in an ?•asterly direction for
the sa�e reasonst
(c) The �iriveway area within the vrovospd comolex �uld be like a hu¢e varkinR
lot, witk oossiblv not eneueh roo�n to sa!'ely accomo�iate u� to 29 vehieles (assu�ir.g
an averaQe of 2 ve!LCles/cars oer livin� unit). Traffic �nove�nent �rithin the area
w�uld oose dan�ers to residents, es�ecially saall childrenf
(d) HeaW traffic� `.1oa on all three' sides of the pr000sed site would definitely
oose � safaty hazard Lo children Whose �Iay areas wr�uld be adjacent to the trafiic.
3. n:�ciATZOx o? �o:� vau�s:
(a) Loss of beautiful trees would destroy t'orever the aesthetic q�alit;► of the
area, where otherwise w�nld be built three beautiflil single-family homes a�nong the
trees to re�nain oen►vatible with surroundin� residences.
(b) Dualexes anci �u1ti�Ie dxellin� units are not as careflilly maintained in
general as are sin€le �a�nilv ho�es and lawns, as is de�nstrated by an exs�nation
of e�dsting structures in Fridley and surrounding co�n.�unit'_es.
4. �JRD:.N ON &0:'iE0:+1'�S:
(a) Sewer an3 water r�ains are r�et equivged to handle auch s large increase in
population in such a s�all area; slready a sewer back-uv oroble�n e�dsts at tF.e
3nte�secLion. .;:ulti-uaits �uld cr�ate exoensive raplacement eosta o° water and
aewage �ains plus naintenance thereof.
5. Increased density w�uld net be oonsistent with urban and city planning which is
designed to orotect the quality of residential life.
b. �Te all boueht o•:r hones �rith the knowlad¢e that this land is zoned R-1 ( single

8. Back of v�ndo would face Lucia lane which would not enhance the

and nuuZing out rn Lucia lane St.
A few years back, the City of Fridley hired a reputable z�ing oatg�any,
and paid good m�ney for thgn to rez,one fYidley. Said van�any confirn�ed
the original findings of R1 and revannP,nded that this should rg►iain as
such, i.e. R1.
Mr. Johnson purd�a.sed this property as Rl sane tw�enty years ago and had
a�le t.ime tA develop this as it was so zoned. Why did Mr. Johnson
hold this property this lo�g. Could it have been his intention to hold
�S Pr��Y �til values wpnt up and then try to rezone for a higher
profit at the expense of all the hanevamers in the area.
I knaa what this property sold for originally and I knvw that three resi-
dential houses could be built � this pmperty and Mr. Johnson oou�d still
realize a pro�,er profit on his original investment.
It has bePn the consensus of the horneawners surrounding this property that
three nice residential houses oould be built c�n this property. This would
then solve the problem ocioe and for all.
We hu�-�vwners would be happy to see that this area be developed as it should,
acoording to the regulations and rr�+�i rene.�zts of the zoning oarmission.

APPROVAL OF MAY 18, 1983, PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES:
PIDTION BY lDt. KONDRICK, SECQNDED BY NR. SABA� TO APPROVE TXE JUNE 8, I983,
PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES AS WRITTEN.
UPON A VDICE VOTE, ALL VOTINC AYE� VICE-CXAIRPERSON OpUIST DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
l. VACATION REQUEST: SAV �Y83-Ol, PETITION N0. 4-83: Vacate the Easterly
T.� . eet o� �4t� venue-between ��oc cT—s �n3 13, Hami 1 ton's Add i ti on
to Mechanicsville, hy the owners of 5380 and 5400 4th Street N.E.
Mr. Boardman stated this was the area where Dr. J. C. Schurstein had proposed to put
an office building back in Dec. 1980. There is a service road that comes in and
cul-de-sacs right along University Ave. 7here is an unpaved alley at this location
that is used to service the backs of the properties along 4th St. It also
services apartments and some businesses.
Mr. Boardman stated the vacation request is for a portion of 54th Ave. between
Blocks 12 and 13. The vacation request is being made by the two property owners
on either side.
Mr. Boardman stated the alley is being used and at some point in time, the City
is going to have to pave that alley as long as it is being used. If the alley
is paved, they would have to make sure tfiere was access on both ends. At this
point in time, the City has been opposed to a vacation of that portion of
54th Ave., primaril,� because there is no way out of the alley, and the logical
way for circu)atiQn within that area would be to come up to 54th Ave. An alter-
native would be to come down and connect into the cul-de-sac, but that may not be
an appropriate way to go.
2E
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 8, 1983 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated that when Dr. Schurstein proposed the development of an
office building in this location. as a condition of the permit, the City Council
required that Dr. Schurstein pay for the improvement of the alley. Because of
that. Dr. Schurstein did not build, and the a71ey is still unimproved.
Mr. Boardman stated that in their consideration of this vacation request, the
Planning Commission should consider what is going to be done with that alley
and at what point they want access. The Engineering Dept. has said the best
possible way for access is back up to 4th St. That would be in direct conflict
with this vacation request.
Ms. Laura Vagovich, 5400 4th St. N.E., stated she has lived in Frid]ey for 34 yrs.
Her house was moved twice, once for Highway 100 and again for I-694. She has
maintained this portion of the street for 34 years. She stated she would like
to have the protection of not having people going through there. People drive
through there and dump things in the bushes and trees. and she has even had
things stolen out of her garden. She stated she had assumed for years that this
road was already vacated and had maintained it because she thought it was vacated.
Mr. Lawrence Zimmerman, 5380 4th St. N.E., stated it was his intention to put up
a retaining wall and use the 30 ft. gained from the vacation to build a road to
a garage he would build on his property.
Mr. Boardman stated that even if they vacated the street right-of-way, they would
want to retain the southern half of the street for storm sewer.
Mr. Zimnerman stated the most logical way and the cheapest way for the alley
access was to go out on the cul-de-sac.
Mr. Oquist asked if it would be feasible to put a turn-around area by using the
portion of 54th Ave. that is not vacated plus the portion of the street they want
vacated.
.
Mr. Boardman stated that if they are going to retain 30 ft. for easement, why
not retain another 30 ft. so if the alley is ever improved, they can get access.
He stated if the property owners wanted to fence this portion of the street, they
could do so right now. The problem.is that if at any point in time a road would
be required to go in there, that fence would be removed at no cost to the City.
Mr. Zimmerman stated the main reason for the vacation request is so he can build
a garage with access off 4th St. He did not intend to use the alley, because it
is 2-3 feet below his property. He is going to have to put up a retaining wall
at the back of his property.
Mr. Boardman stated �t was his understanding that if the property owner put a
fence or a driveway over the easement, if the City has to dig up that easement,
the City is not responsible for putting back b7acktop or fencing. It would be
the property owner's responsibility to put back whatever was torn up.
zF
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 8, 1983 __ PAGE 3
Mr. Boardman agreed Nith the fact that there is never going to be a street
tonnection in there that would utiliZe the whole 60 ft. Ne had no problem with
racating Lhe street right-of-way. but they should retain the storm sewer and
access easemenL. In that sense, the property is no longer owned by the City of
frfdley but by the property owners; but the City would still �etain an easement
so if they need Lo go through with a road or access for the alley, they can use
that easement.
Mr. Oquist stated another alternative +rould be to access by the highway property
if the Highway Dept. turns that property over to the City.
Ms. Vagovich stated that, as Mr. Zimnerman had stated, the main purpose for the
vacation is so Mr. Zimmerman can build a garage and access onto 4th St. They
Nill jointly maintain the property.
Mr. Boardman stated th at 1f Mr. Zirtmerman puts in his garage and accesses onto
4th St. over the 30 ft. easement, if the alley is improved and comes up to the
street grade. it in effect replaces his driveway and he would still have access
onto the alley.

Lot 12 and e Westerly 30 feet of Lot 13, B 1, City View, to make a new
Duilding site, Lhe same being 24I - 57th ce N.E.

70 ft. lot. The depth of the 1 is 14Q ft. It does meet the 9,000 sq. ft.
1ot requirement and naeets al other requirements as far as lot splits. A lot
split does require a park e of �500. The park fee is payable at the time of
approval of the lot spl' request; however, the City Council may defer co7lection
to the time the buil ' g permit is requested for individual lots created by such a
lot split. This d depend on whether the petitioner requested the C�ty Council

GARAGE TO BE USED FOR A BEAUTY SHOP, LOCATED ON LOT 18, BLOCK 4. BROOK-

MOTION by Mr. Betzold, seconded by Mrs. Gerou, to open the public hearing. UPON A
VOICE YOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT
8:17 P.M.
Mr. Clark said he was not sure they needed a public hearing for this item as it
was sent back from the Council to the Commission to reconfirm or reconsider the
interpretation of living space or accessory building and that staff checked the
State rules and that it would be possible to interpret the State rules that the
beauty shop must be operated from the living space from the house. Mr. Clark felt
they could not consider that valid in the City zoning laws as it would disrupt their
home occupation definition and they would have to allow machine shops, body shops,
mechanics,etc. Ne said the staff feels the first interpretation is the proper inter-
pretation. He further stated that staff spoke with Mr. Herrick's office (to Mr.
Neumann) who did say that Councii could approve the variance for a specific use for
a defined period of time. Ms. 6abe1 stated the only issue here is the definition of
living space. Mr. Betzold said the State rules have a fairly narrow definition
and that certain parts of the tame are not living space; the City looks at whole
home as living space and it is their jo6 to interpret the City Code. Mr. Plemel asked
if this was to cbange their thinking on the lot line. Ms. Gabel explained that they
are being asked to determine whether or not this is living space and the staff has
interpreted this as living space which is why it requires a variance and they are
asking if the Commission agrees with this interpretation. Mr. Plemel said if it is
an accessory building, it can be 5 feet from the lot line and if it is living area,
it has to be 10 feet from the lot line and that he concurs with staff in that he
considers it living area.
�
� 8A
�peals Commission Meeting - June 28, 1983 Page 4
Mr. Betzold asked what the result would be if it was not determined as living space.
Mr. Clark said then no variance aouTd be necessary. He said the interpretation of
the code is consistent, garages are accessory buildings, that they have allowed
home occupation in living spaces, not garages -- home occupations cannot take place
in an accessory building. He further explained that if the a�ea is goi�g to be a
beauty shop and it is a living space, then it needs a variance�and to ask if
living space was properly defined in the beginning. ,
MOTION by Mr. Betzold, seconded by Mr. Barna, to close the public hearing for
the purpose of v�ting to determine the issue of living space on this matter. UPON
A VOICE YOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED
AT 6:30 P.M.
MOTION by Mr. Betzcld, seconded by Mrs. 6erou, that, upon the Commissfon's review of
their original determination of living space in this matter, it has been determined
and affirmed that their motion was based on the issue of living space and this is
living space. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL YOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. '
MOTION by Mr. Betzold, seconded by Mr. Plemei, to open the public hearing to
determine whether or not there is additional information available at this time
regarding the Cpmmission's original recommendation to the City Council on this matter.
UPON A VOICE YOTE, ALL YOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING
OPEN AT 8:33 P.M.
Mr. Van Hu12en, Mr. Kramer and Mrs. Doyle were present for this matter. Mr. Van
Nulzen felt it was an interesting approach to designate a vartance for a particular
purpose (beauty shop) and felt it would be a comp�omise satisfactory to everyone.
Mrs. Doy1e safd she attended the City Council meeting and that she�still does not
tare for the 5 feet from the lot line but that she spoke further with Mr. and Mrs.
Yan Hulzen and she is a little more comfortable with the beauty shop but asked that
it be restricted to the Van Hulzens only and that Mrs. Van Hulzen promised not to
have the beauty shop chair in the front window. Mr. Clark asked if she objected to
the living space and Mrs. Doyle said she would not want a precedent set and is
willing to compromise. Mr. Clark said the staff has a hard time keeping track when
homes change ownership and they can keep track on a complaint basis and they could
grant�a variance for a specific nse for a specific period of time. Mr. Van Hulzen
said the State Board licenses beauty shops annually and they wi11 have a very re-
stricted beauty shop. Mr. Betzold asked ff they would be in violation of the code
if they did business 7 days a week and Mr. Clark said they would not. Ms. Gabel
asked if they could grant the variance exciusively to the Van Mul2ens and have the
Council work out the legal. Mrs. Doyle suggested having the Van Hulzens come in
annually. Mr. Clark said they could have a letter requesting extension for another
year and could not foresee a prob�em with,the Council.acting on an annual basis.
Mr. Kramer spoke in favor of the variance and believed it wilf be a very restricted
type of business and he is not concerned about traffic and that he can see the house
out of his front Mindow and thougfit that the changes wi11 look nice.

�peals Commission Meeting - June 28, 1983 Page S
Mr. Betzold questioned the hardship i� th�s matter. Mr. Van Hulzen said the main
hardship is that his wife wishes to take care of the family and still �vork. that she
needs the job and this is the least expensive and most economical �ay to accomplish
this. He said other options Nould cause considerable disturbance and expense;
the entryway wou�d then have to be through the back yard into the basement and
through the laundry room and the pool in the back yard wouid have to be fenced off.
He felt this Mould also be additional disturbance to t�e neighbors a�d the existing
�rea is the right size. Ms. Gabel felt the hardship is now defined much better
and stated she had visited the area and there would be a safety factor with customers
and the pool and the construction costs are obvious and this appears to be a better
May.

MEMORANDUM
MEMO T0: NASIM M. QURESHI, CITY MANAGER
FROM; WILLIAM C. HUNT, PERSONNEL OFFICER
SUBJECT: ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3.07 OF THE FRIDLEY CHARTER
DATE: JULY 7, 1983
The first reading is being held on an ordinance amending Section 3.01
of the City Charter entitled, "Signing, Publication and Retention of
Ordinances, Resolutions and Motions", which contains a charter provision
to allow publication of a summary descriptiort of an ordinance.
This ordinance is substantially the same as Ordinance No. �67 adopted
February 7, 1983, by the City Council. The changes are basically in
organization and phrasing in order to clarify the paragraph, and it is
difficult to lay this out in legislative form since the entire paragraph
has been rewritten for �rganization and style as well as phras�ng.
Accordingly, it does not lend itself to simple additions and deletions
of phrases. Perhaps the best comparison is with the document as passed
February 7, 1983 which is enclosed.

CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 19, 1983 PAGE 2
was that "the Charter Carmission sha11 submit to the City Council the recommended
changes in Section 6.01 as passed at the March 17, 1983, meeting of the Charter
Commission, Section 6.02 as previously submitted and Section 6.04 as previously
submitted to the City Council for their action."
1. REVIEW NEW DRAFT FOR SECTION 3.07:
Mr. Hunt stated the Commission members had a new draft of Section 3.07.
He stated most of the changes was just in rearranging in in clarification.
If this document is passed at this meeting, it would be expedited and sent
on to the City Council with a letter from the Chairperson, rather than
waiting for September and the approval of these minutes.
Mr. Hunt stated that on Ordinance No. 767, at the bottom of the page, it
said "First Reading", "Second Reading", and "Publish". According to State
Law, the City Council must have a public hearing, and a public hearing was
never held. Therefore, this is not a valid ordinance.
Mr. Hunt stated there are about seven different ways to amend a city charter.
The way the Charter Cortnnission chose was to vote on the ordinance change,
and send the ordinance change to the City Council. The City Council should
then hold a public hearing with at least two weeks notice of the hearing.
The City Councii then has to pass the ordinance change unanimously. After
it has been passed and published, there is a waiting period before the ordinance
goes into effect. The purpose being that if any citizens wanted to raise an
issue, they could do so during that time.
Mr. Hunt stated that after the 90 days were up and just before it was going
to be published, Staff realized there F�ad been no public hearing, so this is
not a valid ordinance.
Mr. Nunt stated part of the reason for redoing Section 3.07 was not only to
polish up the language and the sentence structure, but to resuhmit it to the
City Council so the process is done right.
Mr. Hunt read tF�e drafted Section 3.07. He stated that in the ]ast paragraph,
5th line, the word, "marking" should be inserted before the words, "three
copies".
(Mr. Nelson and Ms. Kindom arrived at 8:25 p.m.)
Mr. Nelson stated he did not understand why the Charter Cor►Bnission had a
problem and why they had to resubmit Section 3.07. The Charter Corrmission
passed the change on to the City Council, and the City Council accepted the
change. Since the City Co�nci] did not follow the right process by calling
for a pu�I�c �earing, it is up to them to go 6ack througf� tfiat process.
(Mr, van Dan arrived at 8:34 p.m.)
�"L
CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 18, i983 - PAGE 3
Mr. Hunt stated that if the City Council wanted to correct the error. they
could simply go back and call for a public hearing and then proceed. Since
the Charter Cort�nission had talked about polishing up the ]anguage, now would
be the time for the Conmission to resubmit the second draft. The City
Council is willing to let the Charter Commission do that.

3. COPY OF SECTIONS OF THE CITY CHARTER THE CITY COUNCIL WILL BE HOLDING A
UBLIC HEARISVG ON JUNE 6, 1983:
Mr. Hunt stated the Charter Comnission has passed three different packages.
The sections that were not contentious, Section 2.03, 2.05, 8.04, and 8.05
wiil be up for public hearing at the City Council on June 6. Presumably
these will be passed.
Mr. Hunt stated the contentious sections on the City Manager, since those
minutes have been approved, will go to the City Council with the minutes on
June 6. At that time, the City Cauncil wi�i decide whether to call for a
public hearing.
Mr. Hunt stated the City Council wi11 probably call for a public hearing on
June 6 for Section 3.07 passed by the Charter Comnission at this meeting.
4. OTHER BUSINESS:
a. Next Charter Commission meeting scheduled for Sept. 15. 1983.
Mr. Hunt stated this was a reminder for the Cortmissior� members of the

APPROVAL bF CHARTER COMMISSION MINUTES OF MARCH 17, 1983:
Mr. van Dan said he had an addition on page 2, to explain what he meant by para-
doxical was that the city manager, at the beginning of 6.01, serves at the pleasure
of the council, M►hich means thaL he can be discharged if the council comes to a
unanimous decision at any regula� meeting yet states that the city manager can ask
for a hearing , then a lengthy procedure takes effect; he may be suspended with a
full salary and tbat the pu6lic hearing and involved procedure is inconsistent
with the statement that he serves at the pleasure of the council.
MOTION by Mr. Treuenfels, seconded by Mr. Peterson, to approve the minutes as
written. UPON A V010E VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE AND ONE ABSTENiION, CHAIRMAN STARWALT
DECLARED TNE MOTION CARRIEO.
CONTINUED DISCUSSION ON SECTIONS 6.01, 6.02 AND 6.04 OF CITY CHARTER AND
OISCUSSION OF GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE F�R EMPLOYEES:
Mr. Hunt explained that there was a e+otion on 6.01 and no decision on 6.02 and it was
decided to lay both of them ove�. Oiscussion followed on the public hearing matter
in 6.01. Mr. Commers said he was under the impression that the public hearing
Mas change d so it could be granted or refused. Mr. Nelson said they were dealing
with it as a board/aresident-of-a-corporation type of situation. Mr, Peterson
said that is Mhy ft was done and cou�d not understand why the city council would
not accept it.
Mr. Commers said they are now dorvn to 6.02 and the city manager dealing with city
employees. Chairman Starwalt said he needed refreshing on the four members as
opposed to th�ee. Mr.Nelson said the comments from Mayor Nee were that a minority
would be a6le to maintain the city manager. Mr. Peterson said he was comfortable
Mith three members. He also said they have spent a lot of time on this a�atter
discussing the fact that if the city manager is responsible he would have to have
sbility to discharge employees; hold him accountable for the hiring and firing.
Mr. Nelson asked about the council becoming involved in an employee's dispute.
Mr, van Dan stated the council can pass any ordinance they want but they don't
need it in the charter (he mentioned thai the Mayor, the city manager and council-
�nen were present at the January aieeting). Mr. Peterson said they were a11 concerned
about the protection of the city employees and there are legitimate steps for the
grieved employee to p�esent his case; that the present personnel ordinance clearly
defines and protects the rights of the e+nployee.
10 C
Charter Con�oission Meetin9 - April 21, 1983 Page 2
M�. Hunt discussed 6.04,that the city ioanager �uld 6e able to hire anybody,
txcept the city clerk and city attorney, Mitf�out the consent of the council
and discipline without the consent of the council and also states that the
council aay provide. by ordinance, procedures for tiring and hirin9.
I�qTION by Mr. Peterson. seconded by Mr. van Dan, that the Charter Commission
=h'��submit to the City Council, the recomnended changes in Section 6.a1 as
passed at the March 11, 1983 meeting of the Charter Conmission, Section 6.02
as previously submitted and Section 6.04 as previously su6mitted to the City
Council for their action.
Discussion: Mr. T�euenfels said he was opposed to Section 6.02,�nainly 6.02 (b)
that the city council is no longer part of the removal process and he has three
abjeciions to the g�ievance procedure - 1) this does not apnly nfter the em-
ployeE� has been fired; 2) the city ma�ager is the last resort of appeal; and
3) any ordinance can be repealed. He felt the grievance process has very little
protection. !!r. Commers thought it Mas true that the grievance procedure did
not relate to firing of employees, only to questions or problems that arise on
the job but that he Mas pretty su�e that an employee could request the matter be
brought before the city council and Mr. Treuenfels' point was well made.
Mr. van Dnn felt the Definitions in III. of the City's Grievance Procedure were
ambiguous. Mr. Nunt explained that the grievance�procedure is not in the ordinance,
it is operating procedure. Mr. Peterson said dismissal of an employee is very
carefully covered in ordinance. Mr. Comners said the procedure shouid provide the
same protection in te nrts of dismissal. Mr. Hunt stated there is very little in
the union contract or personnel ordinance about termination and that there are
tertain state laws that provide for protection but that is even minimal because
you have management's right to determine the needs. He said the whole idea is
for administration to be left to the tity manager and to de-politicize the admini-
stration. He further stated that in the grievance procedure the final authority
is the city manager and they are forbidden by law to interfere with the manage-
�nent of the city.
Mr. van Dan felt they should have the right to review the procedure. Mr. Hunt
said that is all available to the council by ordinance but didn't think they had
any of the termination procedures. Mr. Nelson pointed out that dismissal is a
disciplinary action and that can be a grievance. Mr. Commers said the present
charter legally says the council legally has the right to approve or disapprove
the hiring and firing by the city manager and the commission has determined that
to de-politicize that they should not have that right and the next step is if
the employee is dismissed, *rhat kind of process is there to have that reviewed.
Mr. Hunt said presently the council does not review, it approves and you could
say the the grievance procedure covers dismissai for disciplinary reasons;
this is not part of the ordi�ance and question Nould be whether termination policy
should be drawn up or tennination section be put into the ordinance. Mr. Peterson
said if the city council gets involved with the dismissai of an empioyee theY
are in violation of state law. Mr. Peterson spoke in favor of the motion and felt
the discussion Mas not gennane to the motion.

Apache Camping Center is located on the corner of East River Road and
71th Ave. N.E.
Mr. Boardman stated Apache Camping Center is requesting nn addition to the
special use permit to aliow for the display of six units. In the agenda,
there is a considerable amount of correspondence between Apache Camping Center
11 A
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22, 1983 _ PAGE 2
and Kent Hill, Economic Development Assistant, dating back to 1981. In a
letter to Mr. James Pawelski dated June 18, 1981, which listed the stipulations
on Special Use Permit, SP �71-04. Mr. Boardman referred to the following
stipulations:
a. That the deve]opment of the property be generally consistent
with the plat plan submitted by Apache Camping Center, corrected
to show two concrete slabs adjacent to the showroom.
b. 7hat the landscaping be improved subject to the approva] of City
staff, with showroom visibility acceptable to the tenants and
adjacent neighbors.
(Mr. Boardman stated that a very extensive site plan was done at
that time. It was approved by the Planning Comnission and City
Councii with concurrence of ihe neighbors. That plan has not been
comp�eted to the stipulation of the special use permit.)
e. That there be the maximum of two units (one on each concrete slab
located adjacent to the showroom) displayed in front of the
showroom.
(Mr. Boardman stated this is where Apache Camping Center is request-
ing a change in the special use permit.j
g. Any unsighti storage be stored at Lhe rear of the property (behind
the building�.
Mr. Boardman stated that one of the stipulations in the old special use permit
was that there be a maximum of two units located in front of the showroom
on the slabs. As the Comnission members remembered, this site used to be a
pool center, and the poo] center had slab areas.
Mr. Boardman stated that on March 30. 1983, Mr. Hill sent a letter to
Mr. Pawelski about the non-compliance of city code. A reply was received
from Mr. Pawelski on Aprii i2, 1983, in which Mr. Pawe7ski referred to
Item (e) of the specia3 use permit stipulations and talked about requesting
an amendment to the original special use permit to display more than two
units in front of the showroom. There was no mention in the letter about the
landscaping or the other items discussed in Mr. HiZI's letter.
Mr. 8oardman stated he was somewhat concerned about the lack of compliance
to the special use permit and felt that, if anything was granted to Apache
Camping Center, there needs to be assurances that these issues are going to
handled.
Ms. Schnabel asked Mr. Pawelski if he would like to make any statements to
the Carmission.
11B
PLANNING COMMISSION MEFTING JUNE 22 1983 PAGE 3
Mr. James Pawelski stated he is part avner of Apache Camping Center. He
stated he had to admit that they have not do�e the landscaping as required
by the special use permit. Regarding Iten (e) that there be a maximum of
two units displayed in front of the showroom� the units that are now on
display were not in existence at the time they requested the special use
permit in �971. The Park Model is something new in the industry and has been
out for only 3-4 years. It is a unit that is not to be pulled. It is
primarily set on a lot, either an owned or rented lot, and it is a cabin-
type unit. The reason for requesting the amendment to the special use permit
is because these Park Models were not in exis'tence in 1971 and because they
do not have enough room for the units in the other part of the lot. He stated
the display models are left up. and the buyer chooses the interior decorating,
and the manufacturer builds to the buyer's specifications. Then in the fall,
Lhe units that are on disp]ay are sold at a reduced price. They pick up their
new units in November. and in January rrhen the camping show starts. they display
the new units up front.
Ms. Gabel stated that in 1977, certain stipulations were put on the special
use permit which were expected to be done. She did not understand why these
things were not done.
Mr. Pawelski aqreed they should have gone to the Planning Conmission and City
Council earlier to ask for an amendment to the special use permit because of
the new units. but they just did not do it. The other main item was the
landscaping, and it was true they �rere in non-compliance with that stipulation.
They started putting units out in front,and he honestly did not feel he should
landscape and then cover the landscaping with units. If they have to put in
the landscaping with the permission to put in more units. he supposed they
would have to landscape around the units. But. he stated.the units vary in
site every year. .
Nr. Boardman stated the majority of landscaping was not in. Most of the
landscaping that �eeds to be done is the street right-of-way along 77th.
The whole purpose of the landscaping was for screening of the back area where
ihe units are stored. There is no berming and no screening on the fence. The
ahole thing in Item (a) Mas "that the development of the property be generally
aonsistent with the plat plan....corrected to show two concrete slabs adjacent
to the showroom". As he remembered it, the plan was for the filling of the
old pool area, leaving two slab areas for display areas. The landscaping
itself does not necessarily mean in front of the units but close to the showroom
itself, This has not been tortQlied with.
Mr. Pawelski stated Staff is talking about landscaping on 77th Way. They
have had people who have driven by a�d seen the units through the fence and
have come Dack and made a purchase. As far as unsightly units in the back,
there are two trucks that do not beiong to Ilpache Camping Center. The trucks
belong to the landlord.
11 C
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22, 1983 PAGE 4
Ms. Schnabel stated it appears there really are three display areas that
have been �reated by these slabs. She did remember back in 1977 about the
filling in of the pool area, but. in all fairness. the drawing shows that
as an available site.
Mr. Boardman stated it was very clear in the discussions in 1977 that the
pool area would be removed and that there would be only two concrete slabs
for display. Even though there is an area where the poo7 used to be, it
does not mean that is a display area.
Ms. Schnabel asked if there was anyone in the audience Nho wished to
address this subject.
Ms. Mary Martin, 133 Stoneybrook Way N.E., stated she did not feel Apache
Camping Center has complied with anything other than the fact that they do
not sell snowmobiles, do not have loud music, and do not have lights on late.
Over the years, Apache Camping Center has had canoes in front, small trailers
in front. portable signs in front. and propane gas signs on the cyclone
fence. Every time there is a camping show or any show that pertains to their
business, they have a great big sign that goes up and stays up for several
weeks.
Ms. �artin stated one of the reasons the neighbors stopped fighting and
agreed to have the business in this location was because of the stipulations
that were put on the special use permit--that there would be only two display
areas in front and that the place would be kept neat. She stated the area
has not been kept neat. Right now on the south side, she believed there were
three Targe units in front, three large units nosing into the front where
there used to be Russian Olives. On the north side, there is a unit nosing
into th�e front that has a sign that says "wide load". She did not see why
the property has to be made worse than it already is. She felt Apache
Camping Center should be made to comply with the stipulations they now have.
Apache Camping Center has not complied over the years,and she doubted if they
complied after the first six months. She did not want to see the whole front
area covered with trailers.
Ms. Martin stated she strongly recomnended that the Planning Comnission deny
this special use permit, and that Apache Camping Center be forced to comply
with the special use permit now in effect or that that special use permit
also be revoked. She stated it was her understanding that the special use
permit issued in 1977 was supposed to come up for review by the City in three
years. To her knowledge, there has never been a review, and it is now six
years later. She stated Apache Camping Center is"tacky". She is living
across the street from something that is tacky, and the neighbors were pro-
mised that this would not happen and that Apache Camping Center would comply
and live with the rules put upon them.
Mr. Pawelski stated he agreed with Ms. Martin, but they are also in business.
The signs that are put up for the shows are for advertising. This is part of
doing business. He admitted they were wrong by not coming to the City when
11 D
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22. 1963 PAGE 5
they put up the Park Models without approval from the City for additional
display space. He stated they are struggling to make a living and the bills
bave to be paid. Since 1977. a lot of things have changed.
Ms. Martin stated that what has not changed is the fact that people are
still living there. It is still her home and her �eighborhood.
Mr. Kondrick stated he felt that Apache Camping Center has just simply out-
grown its space.
Mr. Pawelski stated, yes, they have outgrown their space, but they cannot
just pick up and na ve. Moving is very hard for b��siness. If this special
use permit is not granted, he will obviously havf to move units off and start
looking for another location. When they origina�lY requested a s�ecial use
permit in 1977, they were primarily a Lent camper dealer selling 90 tent
campers a year. They now sell approx. 20 tent campers a year because peopie
are not buying the tent campers. They are now selling Lhe Park Models
which are 516-25,000 each.
Ms. Martin stated she wanted to remind the Planning Commission that six
years ago whPn the special use permit was granted, the Pianning Commission
was ready to refuse it. The reason the Planning Corrmission did decide to
approve it was because the neiqhbors said that because of,the promises made
by Apache Camping Center, they would be good neighbors and let Apache Camping
Center come in. The City Council also was ready to refuse the special use
permit even after the Planning Comnission's recommendation, dut because the
neighbors said they would allow it to come in because of the promises made,
the City Council also approved the special use permit. If it had not been
for the neighbors,the specia] use permit would have been denied. She did
not think the neighborhood now should be put down because Mr. Pawelski's
business is too big for this location. She realized Mr. Pawelski had to make
money. She was not against business, but she was certainly for her own
neighborhood and her own living space.
Mr. Svanda stated that if all the stipulations from 1977 were complied with
by Apache Camping Center, how would Ms. Martin feel about the parking of
six trailers2
Ms. Martin stated she would be against it, because the site looks like a
trailer park now. The busir�ess is just plain tacky and .the neighbors were
promised it wouldn't be. Six trailers in the front is only going to make it
look tackier.
Mr. Svanda stated the worst thing in this whQ�e issue seemed to the fact
that Mr. Pawelski showed bad faith by not putting in the landscaping.
Mr. Saba stated maybe there is some kind of compromise that can be reached
regarding the landscaping. Maybe the landscaping should be done, and then
Mr. Pawelski should reapply for this special use permit after the land-
scaping is done.
11 E
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22, 1983 PAGE 6_
Ms. Gabel stated she did not see that as a satisfactory solution. She
stated she was on the Planning Commission in 1917, and she had a lot of
reservations about the special use pemit at that time. The only reason
she voted for the special use permit at that time was because of the stipu-
lations and the agreement by Apache Camping Center that the stipulations
would be met. Six years have gone by and those stipulations have not been
met. She had no reason at this point to believe that to approve another
speciat use permit with more stipulations with some iandscaping was going
to change anything. If anything, it might make the situation worse. She
appreciated the fact that Mr. Pawelski's business has outgrown the location;
but she did not feel that was the neighbors' fauit, and they should not be
expected to bear the brunt of it.
Mr. Saba agreed, but stated if there was any way Mr. Pawelski could satisfy
the neighbors, which seems to be the biggest problem, and still stay in
business in this location, he would be all for it. However. he would like
to see some changes made before the approvai of this speciai use permit.
Maybe Mr, Pawelski should meet with the neighbors and work this out to their
satisfaction.
Mr. Svanda stated he liked Mr. Saba's idea about making Mr. Pawelski put
in the landscaping before the Planning Comnission considers this special
use permit any further.
Ms. Schnabel stated she could appreciate the suggestion of the Apache
Camping Center's owners meeting with the neighbors, but they met with the
neighbors a lot in 1977 and still nothing was done. To say Mr, Pawelski has
to meet with the neighbors now would probably only be delaying something
further. It is really the City's role and responsibility to see that a land-
scaping plan is executed. It is not the role of the neighbors.
Mr. Boardman asked Mr. Pawelski if he would be willinq to work with the City
on a landscaping plan. The City would require 100� letter of credit
against the entire landscaping.
Mr. Pawelski stated he really had no choice but to do that. He asked if he
could have at least 30 days to reshuffle his units and take five units off
the slabs.
Ms. Schnabel stated they would give Mr. Pawelski a reasonable length of
time for removal of the units.
Ms. Martin stated that if the idea was that by having the landscaping done,
Apache Camping Center could have more trailers in front, she was totally
against it and would fight it. She did not want more trailers in front. That
was the biggest thing the neighbors didn't want.
Mr. Saba stated what he was thinking about was a landscaping plan that would
prohibit the display of any more than a fixed number of trailers.
11F
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22, 1983 _ PAGE 7
Mr. Kondrick stated he drives by this properiy every day and knows the
proPerty pretty well. If Apnche Camping Center was to adhere to the
original landscaping plan, even "fudging" a bit, there was no way they
could operate and do business the way they do now.
Mr. Svanda stated that is why he would like to see the landscaping plan
developed before they even consider this special use permit any further to
see if it can even work.
Mr. Pawelski stated he wanted to comply in any way possible to maintain his
business.
NOTION BY PlR. SABA� SECONDED BY l�t. GOOASPEED� TO CL0.SE TXE PUBLIC XEARING
ON SP N83-03 BY APACXE CAKPING CENTER.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, 1�LL VOTING AYE, CNAIRWOMAIV SCHNABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC
XEARING CLQSED AT 8:d1 P.N.
Ms. Gabel stated that having been at the previous Planning Cortmission meeting
in 1977 when this all happened, she was realiy concerned because this special
use permit with stipulations was issued. The big concern was the two big
slabs out front, and the neighbors agreed to go along with the special use
permit based on those two big slabs. They were very concerned about there
being n large number of trailers parked out front. She understood that
Mr. Pawelski has outgrown his location, but when the decision was based on
that predication, she had a real difficulty even considering increasing the
display units. She felt the City has some responsibility to live up to the
special use permit that was granted in 1977.
Mr. Saba stated he knows what has happened between 1977 and now with the
economy and the gas crisis. It has to be a tough business to be in. He stated
he would like to see an agreement on a landscaping plan made with the City,
have that plan presented to the neighbors and discussed with them. Before
the granting of any special use permit, he would like to see the stipulations
satisfied and the landscaping compieted.
Mr. Kondrick stated that neither Mr. Pawelski or his partner have complied
at all with the special use permit issued in 1971. More than that, the
promises made to the neighbors were broken. He understood Mr. Pawelski's
position, but he was in business today because of the neighbors. He stated
he lives in that area, and this area has always iooked tacky. He stated he
wanted to see these stipulations complied with, and he would be against the
approval of this special use permit.
Mr. Goodspeed stated he would agree there was no bargaining over the land-
scaping, That should be done without question. No good faith has been s�own
by Apache Camping Center, and he would like to see some good faith shovm
before they even consider this special use permit.

Mr. Boardman stated that by denying the special use permit, there is a
three-letter process that will take place in enforcing compliance. If
he doesn't comply, the City can tag him. The other alternative is that the
City Council has the ability to remove the special use permit which would
eliminate the business in that location because the special use permit is
for outside display of units.
Mr. Saba stated this r+ould not prohibit Mr. Pawelski from complying Kiih
the stipulations made in 1977 and then reapplying for this special use permit.

2. PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP �Y83-04, BY
DONALD WEHLAST D. W. CONSTRUCTION, INC.: Per Section 05.15�(4), to
allow the construction of a new welling in CRP-2 zoning on Lots 27, 28,
29 and 30, Block S, Riverview Neights, the same bei'ng 8125 Riverview

llPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CXAIRWDAlAN SCXNABEL LECLARED TXE PUBLIC
XEARING OPEN AT 8:57 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated this property is on Riverview Terrace in the flood plain
and requires a special use permit. It also requires fill to be placed on
the site. In 1979 there was an application for a special use permit
and a variance. This property has two 50' lots and the request at that time
was for zero lot line, two units, one on each lot with a lot size variance.
The variance was denied so the special use permit was withdrawn.
Mr. Boardman stated this request is by D. W. Construction, Inc., for one
house on both lots so there would be 100 ft. of lot with one house. It does
meet the requirements as far as setbacks as far as the flood plain in the
sense that the garage and living space meet flood piain regulations. The
one concern ie the drainage. The people proposing the development and the
City Engineers feel the drainage is workable if done correcity; however,
Staff still has some concern. If this special use permit is approved, the
stipulation he would recorrmend was that an engineered drainage plan be submitted
11 H
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 22, 1983 PAGE 9
with a letter of guarantee that the drainage will be sufficient and, if
not, will be corrected. One of the proposals they are looking at for
drainage is to drain into the slue where waLer drains right now. Staff's
recommendation on that would be that they would either Want an easement
for drainage or some kind of drainage directly from the lot to the river.
Mr. Boardman stated that other than the drainage, it is a good plan. There
will be a requirement of a small retaining wall because of the 15 ft. fill
requirement, and thaL has to be �,rorked out with the inspectors.
Ms. Schnabel asked if Mr. Don Wehlast of 0. W. Construction had any
comments regard9ng drainage.
Mr. Wehlast stated he has had engineers and excavators out there, and they
have said the natural drain is to the north. He has been told he would have
to have a culvert under the driveway to get the water to drain to the north.
Ms. Schnabel asked if there were any questions from people in the audience.
Mr. Chester Schack, 687 Glencoe. stated he was very concerned about where
the water is going to go.
Mr. F. C. Smith stated he owns the house just north of this lot, 8141
Riverview Terrace. He stated this is a lovely house and will be an asset
to the neighborhood. He was concerned about the water draining through
his front yard. If they could put a culvert under the street and drain the
water to the river, that would be great. �
Mr. Boardman stated this is why a drainage plan has to be worked out and
agreed to by all the parties concerned.

Mr. Saba stated the decision made by the HRA to relocate Mr. Ryan in the

felt it was a very bad precedent for the City to take, and it should never

Ms. Gabel stated she agreed.
Mr. Boardman discussed the reasoning behind such a decision and stated that
the HRA has a lot of very difficult decisions to make and has to weigh all
the factors that enter into the redevelopment process.

It has been noted in letter form, that Apache Campinq Center is not
complying with the rules of our sr►ecial use permit qranted July 25, 1977,
SP#�77-04, in particular item E. a maximum of�two untts dfsplayed�in �
front of the showroom.
In 1977 when this permit was granted the items now on display were
not available. A new concept in trailers was developed called
Park Models. These Park Models ranqe in size from 33 feet to 38
feet in length and from 12 to 14 feet in width.
In order to attract buyers a number of different floor plans should
be displayed and because of size additional space was required. Since
1977 we have not discontinued any of our product lines but infact
added Park Models.
We are aware of the current conqestion �f the Park Models. Some
of the display models have been sold but are unable to be moved to
customer locations because of weather conditions. When the units can
be moved the remaining units and any mo�e will be placed in a
unified manner. However, Decause of the letter from Mr. Hill, first
thinqs first. We are revuesting an ammendment to the oriqinal special
use permit aiiowing Apa.che Camping Center to display more then two
units in front of the showroom.
Please advise if this can be accomplished without the personal
nppearance of Apache Camoing Center.

ACTION( INFO•
The Apache Camping Center has requested amending their Special tJse Permit, SP #�77-04,
via the letter dated Apri) l2, 1983 from James Pawelski. The amendment requested
is to allow more than two units in front of their showroom. Apache has been in viola-
tion of this condition and others as far back as April of 1979. Currently, they
a re not complying with the following stipulations of their 1977 Special Use Permit:
1. The development of the property is generally consistent with the plot plan
(Exhibit A) submitted by Apache Camping Center, corrected to show two concrete
slabs adjacent to the showroom.
2. That landscaping be improved subject to the approval of City staff, with showroom
visibility acceptable to the tenants and adjacent neighbors.
3. That there be a maximum of two units (one on each concrete slab located adjacent
to the showroom) dispayed in front of the showroom.
4. My unsighLly storage be stored at the rear of the property (behind the building).
Apache also has two signs advertising propane attached to their fence along East River
Road. There are no permits on file for these signs and they should be placed with
the rest of the signs on the pylon.
Please advise me whether Apache should re-apply for a new Special Use Permit, or if
they can be heard by the Council.

RE: Special Use Permit, SP �71-04
Dea r Mr. Pawe 1 sk i:
1ElEPNONE ( �1�)571-�15Q
I've been instructed to inform you that the City wili review your SpecTal Use
Permit, SP �Y77-04. However, since you are requesting substantial changes to
the stipulations that were approved in 1977, a new hearing by the Planning
Commission must be required. This will involve renotification of adjacent
property owners within 200 feet of your business, and a notice in the Sun
Newspapers. In addition you will have to pay the required application fee
of $200.00.
I've enclosed the Special Use Permit application. Please fill this out and

P,LANNING COMnISSION nEETING — JULY 33, 1977 Page 2
Chairpe�son Harris wanted to know how many customer parking p2aces
Were being provided.
n r• PaWelski of Apache Camping Center explained that there would
be enough parking space to accommodate 14 ca�s.
Chairperson Ha�ris questioned the number of tenL L�ailers and
requla� trailers shown on the plan.
nr• Pawelski indicated that they were shoWing the maximum number
' of units that would be on the lot at one time•
' Chairperson Har�is asked if Apache Camping Center had had a chance
to look over the nine stipulations.
nr• Pawelski indicated that they had revieWed the nine
stipulations and Were in agreement. He said that ns. na�tin
had �equested most of the items to be included as stipulations
should a Special Use Permit be granted.
n r• Pawelski felt that the number of kinds of sh�ubs being
�equired at the front of the building Would obstruct the vieW
of the showroom from the street• He said that with some extra
care, the existing shrubs should be adequate-
Chairperson Harris questioned one of the stipulations dealing
With making sure the Special Use Pe�mit would not be applicable
to any otfier business. �
nr• Pawelski cla�ified that ns• n artin didn•t Want the Special
Use Permit to be allowed for use by som�one else� should the
Camping Center move.away at a future date• . �
ns. nartin of 133 Stonybrook NE explained that she understood
that a Special Use Permit was issued to the owner of the property
and since Apache Camping Center would only be leasing the building
she didn't want to have to contend with an undesi�able business
{used-car lot, etc.} should the Camping Center move at a
future date•
Chai�person Harris explained that unless another Camping Center
moved into that building, the Special Use Permit would not
pertain. He said that each different business would need a
separate Special Use PermiL• He indicated that the permit would
be issued for the outside storage of recreational vehicles•
11 �

P�ANNING COhT1ISSI0N f1EETING — JULY 13, 1977 Page 3
ns• fla�tin said.that she and the Apache Camping Center are in
aqreement on the thoughts, but she wanted to be assured that
they a�e �n agreement on the wo�ds• She didn't want to have the
Lhoughts misinterpreted. One thing in particular she wanted
to have the wording exact �egarding the displaying of vehicles
in front of the showroom. She wanted it to �ead, ^two cement
slabs adjacent to the showroom with one vehicle each on each
of the slabs. She felt that the Way it had o�iginally been worded,
it could have been inte�p�eted as two vehicle on each of the
slabs, resulting in a total of four vehicles displayed in f�ont
of the showroom. She said that she and the Apache Camping
tenter had agreed on a total of two vehicles displayed in front
of the show�oom.
At the request of f1r. Langenfeld, Chairperson Harris read the
nine stipulations to the audience• f1�. Pawelski clarified some
the the items as Chai�person Harris read them.
f1r• Pawelski indicated that he would be meeting with the owner
of the property regarding the nine stipulations. He said that
they were in agreement to fix the building. but didn't feel they
should have to handle the total expense of upgrading someone �
else's property-
ns• nartin explained that she had noticed twosemi-truck traile�s
were being stored at the �ear of the property• She said that
there was no objections to the ones presently there• She asked
that since the Special Use Permit would be issued to the property
owner, would he be able to use that permit to enable him to park
more of the semi-trUCk trailers on the property. She indicated
that if that could happen, then she felt that there would be
a lot of objections. She was sure that the neighborhood did
not want any se�ni�t�uck traffic in the area. She also felt that
it would be aesthetically unpleasing to have semi-truck trailers
kept at the rear of that property-
ns• tlartin continued to say that she understood that the trailers
did belong to the owner of the property and not Apache Camping
Cente�• She only wanted to know if the owner would have the
right of outside sto�age.
M�• Yo`rmsbecker of 134D1 Southridge Road indicated that basically
the �ear of the building in ques.tion Was only being used as
cold storage and that it shouldn't be conside�ed as a warehouse•
!1r• Boardman explained that if semi-trucks were going into the
area and delivering merchandise to be stored� then the building
would be considered as a warehouse and warehouses were �ot allowed
in the zoning presz�ntly on the property.

n s• na�tin wanted assurance that the neighborhood Would be
protected f�om that type of situation being allowed• She felt
that the Permit should be Worded NOW to assure there would be
no misinterp�etation of the intent of the Permit• .�
,
As• n artin indicated that the�e would be definite opposition to
a wa�ehouse in the area.
� nr, Langenfeld indicated that if the stipulations we�e incorporated
� into the Special .Use Permit, that, in itself, would put a great
''•deal of control on the p�operty• He explained that if in the
��vent the neighbors felt that a warehouse operation was taking
place, all they would have to do is call City.Hall and someone
Would be sent out to the p�operty to check-out the complaint•
11s• nartin explained that that was why she felt the stipulations
should be incorporated into the actual Permit — to be sure
the neighbors had a valid ccmplaint should different occasions
a�ise•
f1s• Gabel wanted to know how long the t�ailers had been on the
p�operty•
Ms. 1lartin indicated that she hadn•t realized the t�ailers had ,
even been on the property until the night she met with the
personnel from Apache Campi�g Center at the site•
f1�• Pawelski didn't know the answer either• He was again in
agreement with f1s. f1artin. He said that Apache Camping Center
didn't want to have the trailers parked on the property eithe�•
He felt that the more room the owner utilized, the less �oom
they would have for their Campe� business.
f1�• Peterson questioned the stipulation stating, ^Drive way on
East River Road not to be used by customers^- He wanted to
know how Apache Camping Center would be able to control what
driveway a customer would use•
tir• Wo�msbecker explained that there was a driveway onto the
p�operty directly from East River Road• He said that Apache
Camping Center Would keep the gate on that driveway locked so
as to discourage anyone from using the driveway. He indicated
that Apache Camping Center intended to use the driveways located
on ?7th Street•
n�. pawelski explained that Lhere could be occasions when Apache
Camping Center would want to use the gate/driveway on East River
Road but that it would only be an occasional circumstance and
that customers would never be encouraged to use that particular
qate/driveWay. -

Closed Sunday
He said that he felt the latest they Would ever be open would be
9:00 P•M. He again indicated that all ingress and egress to the
Apache Camping Center would be via 77th Street.
f1r• Pawelski said that they had studied the landscape plan. He
indicated that basically it was an agreeable proposal and that the
only problem was that Apache Camping Center planned to get With
the landlord to discuss the plan and to find out if he would
handle some of the expenses involved with upgrading his p�operty•
f1r• Langenfeld wanted to know the terms of Apache Camping Center's
lease agreement• '
17r• Wormsbecke� indicated that there wasn't an actual lease
ag�eement• He said that it was still a negotiable thing•
t1r• Pawelski said that when Apache Camping Center found out that
they needed a Special Use Permit, they decided to first find
out if they could get the Permit before they decided on the terms
of the lease-
ns• Gabel asked what kind of lease Apache Camping Center
anticipated.
11�• Amundsom indicated it would be approximately a three-year
lease {minimum}-

Mr• PaWelski wanted to know why Apache Camping Center had to
�eplace all the shrubs presently on the property•
n�• Boardman said that the landscaping architect had agreed that
some of the existing shrubbery could remain as lonq as the
�ntire property Was upgraded.
n �• Langenfeld wanted to know the pu�pose of the six foot �edwood
fence •
f1r• Boardman i�dicated that the six foot redwood fence Was
basically for decorative purposes.
f1r• Pete�son felt that the showroom should not be obstructed by
landscaping•
f1r• Boardman explained that the proposed landscaping Would not
block the showroom visibility. He said that the City was only
suggesting the ideas. He indicated that Apache Camping
Center would have to submit a landscape plan for City approval
befo�e they would receive the Pe�mit. He said that the Permit
would be held up until the landscape plan met with City Council
app�oval-
n�• Bergman said that when a business had a glass-front showroom,
that the [ity should be careful not to �equire anything that
would conflict with the visibility of that showroom.

571-1418
March 22, 1983
When we signed up for your service •bout two years ago you offered
several proqrams, in addition to the �ovie channels, that appealed
to us. First among these was CE+Si in fa�ct, that was one of the
�nain �ea�sons I wanted cable. I fully real i=e that CE�S left the
air throuqh no f ault of your se�vice. However, it Nas replaced
Nith programming of a completely di4ferent character that appeals
to a completely different �udience (channel 28 - rock music).
I alsc very �nuch liked the stock n�arket reports on channel 15.
About three weeks after your siqnal on this channel began to get
qarbled, I called you� station and talked !o a enan who said the
bad �iqnal was tot�+lly •nd lU0% the responsibility of the AF
�ervice. He said that in his eiqht years of broadcrsting
e>:perience AP had yet to send out w qood siqnal. A couple of
weel:s later even the garbled siqnal �asn't beir►q broadcase and
Nhen I called your station to ask Nhy, I was told that your
equipment was bad and would have to be replaced. That was weel:s
and weeks ago. One of your technicians told me the tired old
story that the equipment had been ordered� but had not been
delivered. I have learned over the last two years that whatever
i s wronq i s never the faul t of Northern Cabl evi si on.
A small plus in the broadcasting we oriqinally
�eceived from you, was the KTWN jazz �nusic broadcast with your
index. I find th� country western music you now broadcast very
unpleasant to listen to. Sonqs �uch as "Redneck Girl" have little
appeal for n�e.
Another station thst I very much enjoyed was WOR from New York.
This was the one station you were still broadcastinq that had some
intellectual content offered during the day. It had an e::cellent
rnorning public affsirs proqram; a wonderful noon news with many
featu�es, includinq movie and play �eviews by one of the
1
country's top c�itics. pive� the day after the openinqsw
and a point ot view that can't be faund in loca2 and �n
national news; better quality �ovies than offered by
Chicaqo or Atlantai several qood late niqhL public �ffairs dis-
cus�ion proqrsms; and �y colleqe-ape sons say that the sports were
�any •nd varied.
I rtalize that you had to omit one of thrse three channels. The
Chitaqo channel offe�s: tired �eries rerunsi the same basl:etball
pames were sho�n on channels 16 •nd 4!i Sunday night w specia2 on
17 was also beinq shown on ili the news is the same as broadcaat
on 9= •nd the Cubs qames. Because Wriqley Field does not have
liqhts, these qames are shown during the daytime which means the
audience �or them, er.cept on weekends, i� mainly women, children,
retired people and those who wor� niqhts. I am 4rom Chicago and
was brouqht up to be a Cub f�n but if their qames are the �ain
�eason you chose to retain thi� channrl� I think you made a
a�i stal;e.
The Atlanta channel has even less appeal since it offer� the same
news that is on 2� and • preat �nany tired reruns. My kids who a�e
�vid sports fans said the sports offered on Atl��ts are the least
of the three channels.
Please do not tredit yourselves with qivinq us view�rs anything of
vaIue in that new fVashvi2le station. i have watched e few minutes
of it here and there just to see what it offers and I have zeen a
lot of no talent, new talent often sinqing off key, with banal
interviews of these people; a brainless g�me show about country
music �and performers; an interview with some woman about a F'orter
Waqgoner Show of 2C� years aqo (this was repeated the ne::t day) S an
interview with some performer about all the j�ckets he wea�s when
he performs and the story each had to tell; sn interview with
Goober of the Andy Griffith Show talso repeated the very ner.t
day); and a lot of programs where we qet to watch a bunch of
ordinary people dance to CW �►usic ala Lawrence Welk.
I called your station to protest the dropping of the New York
station and Nas qiven a canned �nessage by your receptionist that
if I didn't like it I s�ould write my senator. Again, what
happens at your business is never your responsibility. Of course
s�e didn't mention that you had a choice in which station you
dropped. Wel l, I di dn't wri t�- my senator lyet ); I ca2 2 ed Cl yde
Mo�avet� i�stead. He was equslly disappointed in your dropping
Nrw York because it Nas a channel his family watched also. Ne
said you say you have some sort of poll of your viewers that
Manted that staticn dropped. I would be very qrateful if you
aould send �+e a copy of the results of your poll. No one I have
spoken to was polled.
Last weekend, Ghannel 23 was broadcasti�g a bad siqnal Friday
eveninq throuqh about 6 AM Monday morning. This has happened
before and I have called your wee{:end number once in the past to
�eport su�h thinqs. I didn•t bother this time because I learned
from er.perience that no one would be there to fir, it until Mondey
2
�
�E
�or�inq. You run � 24 hour a day. seven day � week se�vicei �ut
you run i t on s 9 to S basi s.
You broadcast s eess:qe that people �vith camments on your service
should call. Mell� I had a lot of comments so I wrote them down.
In the past I called and talked �vith someone natmed Mary but
she isn't there anymore. She Nas quitr anxious to take ca�re of
all shortcomings in your service a�d thc �ay your personnel deal�
aith the public. I would be happy to talk to you i� person but it
is di4ficult to find you avail�ble. If you aould care to call me,
�y phone �umber is at the top of this lette�.
Yours tfuly�
