OF HIS PROPEE2TY•
Mr. Skinner stated he wished to make known to the Council a proposal for
develo�xnent of his property and would like for the statement to be a matter
of record regardless of the Council's decision.
Mr. Skinner presented a letter to the Council dated June 6, 1983 and asked
Mr. Stanton from Stanton Realty to read the statements contained in the
letter.
7he simmiary of Mr. Skinner's letter was that he attended the public hearings
when the Heather Hills West Project was being considered as he was desirous
of developing his property north of Heather Place. Mr. Skinner stated he was
wllling to pay a"fair share" of the cost of the special improvements, but
was unable to obtain �n answer at the hearings as to his exact final costs
and options, therefore, at that point in time was not prepared to enter into
what seemed to be an open end, blank check contract and make commitments to
which he was not sure of the outcome.
�
[i_iTfj�;�ijif4f��ii �e�i)_ 11�1 :}1��I:� �
bir. Skinner's letter went on to state he felt decisions were made which
adversely affected his property rights and by the Council's actions
prefetential treatanent was given towards some tax-paying citizens of the
coTmnunity. He felt poor �udgment was followed and should be rectified anc
indicated he is willing to pay his fair share of $18,835 for special
unprovenents. Mr. Skinner's letter indicated he would be willing to pay this
amount when the City affects a cure for the problems caused, approves his
plat, and obtains access for him from Heather Place Street,
P10TION by Councilman Schneider to receive the letter from Mr. Ralph Skinner
' dated June 6, 1983. Seconded by Councilman Hamernik. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Schneider reviewed the comments in the July 13, 1981 minutes
regarding this plat and a comment to the fact that Mr. Skinnnex didn't want
to develop his property. Mr. Skinner stated the only thing he remembers
saying was he would not commit himself to developing the property or paying
some price for developing his property in oon�unction with the Heather Hills
pro7ect unless he knew the bottom line costs. He stated his reason was that
the costs could be more than what he would stand to gain out of developing
the property.
Mayor Nee stated Mt. Skinner was present at the meetings and told the Council
he wasn't willing to develop his property. He stated it was also pointed out
to Mr. Skinner, if the Council approved the Heather Hills pro�ect, he would
have to deal with Mr. Brickner.
I�9r. Skinner stated the minutes will show he stated he was interested in
developing his property, but wouldn't commit himself on the cost.
Mr. Skinner stated he doesn't have any dispute with the meetings that were
held, but objects to the action taken that put him in this position.
He stated since Mr. Bxickner hasn't developed property, he wasn't aware of
the steps to be taken, but was led by Council on what steps could be taken.
� Mr. Brickner stated he has developed on the land and is aware of the
procedures to be taken. He stated, besides the development in Fridley, he
has developed land in New Brighton which consisted of 28 lots,
Mayor Nee stated nothing happens in the way of street construction unless
someone petitions for it. He stated the petition was received from Mr.
Brickner and H1r. Skinner refused to sign it which relinguished his interest
in the question.
Mr. Skinner stated the reason he didn't sign the petition was because he
didn't want to coimnit to this imrpovement not knowing what it would cost.
Mayor Nee pointed out the City nevex has an improvement pro�ect where they
know difinitely what it will cost until the time of the assessment hearing.
He stated they try to make an estimate, but nobady guarantees any prices.
Councilman Schneider stated at the time the Heather Hills pro�ect was being
considered, Mr. Skinner made a conscious decision not to participate in the
construction of the street and had no interest in it as he wasn't going to
develop his property.

Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated if P1r. Skinner wants to develop his
property, he should get together with Mr. Brickner to try and resolve the
probl�n.
Mayor Nee felt nothing was being accomplished with the present cliscussion and
if Mr. Skinner had a concrete proposal to submit to the Council, he could do
so and it would come before the Council at one of their meetings.

Mr. Walt Starwalt, Chairman of the Charter Coirnnission, stated he, as well as
Mr. Treuenfels, was present to answer any questions the Council may have
regarding these proposed Charter amendments.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated this is one segment of the Charter
amendments, submitted by the Commission, which the Council has discussed and
had no comments contrary to the Comnission's recommendations.
Mr. Truenfels, n�ember of the Charter Commission, stated under Section 2.03
perhaps the references to the years in the 1950's should be deleted.
Mr. Starwalt stated this was discussed at the Charter Commission meeting and
they felt the Charter was a historical doc�mient, therefore, to leave in these

Mr. Truenfels felt perhaps the place for this wasn't in the CYiarter.

MOTION by Councilman Schneider to receive the letter from Mr, Sivert's
neighbor. Seconded by Councilman Hamernik. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Siverts stated the letter basically states that his neighbor has no
qualms regarding the height of the fence and undexstands it would be stained
and vines planted.
Councilman Schneider stated he has no ob�ection to the aesthetics �f the
fence, but questioned the hardship or uniqueness oi this situation. He
stated, obviously, the neighbors dont't have a concern.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he would withdraw his second on the origirral
motion for demal. Councilman Schneider stated with the second withdrawn,
there is no longer a motion on the floor so he would withdraw the motion.
MC7TION by Councilman Barnette to grant the variance to allow the fence to be
built at a qraduated height, as shown in the drawing submitted, rather ihan
the required 7 feet, with the understanding the staining and bracing of the
fence and planting of the vines would be comgleted 'oy September 1, 1983.
Further, the hardship is based on the lights and noise from industrial
centers which have located near the Siverts' residence; however, zn the event
this fence is ever destroyed or torn down, it would be rebuilt to meet the
code requir�nents. Seconded by Councilman Hamernik.
Councilman Barnette stated from the 3 to 2 vote by the Appeals Commission,
there was some disagreement by these members whether or not to grant the
variance.
Councilman Schneider stated there isn't a financial hardship involved or a
stivation where Mr. Siverts cannot do it another way.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he had seconded the original motion for denial,
but has looked at the fence and done some thinking about it and didn't have
any problem. This may set a precedent. Fle stated he believed if someone
else wanted to construct such a fence, there would be ob�ection from the
neighbors, however, this isn't the case in this sztuation.
UPON A WICE VOTE TAKEN ON 7SiE ABOVE MOTION, Councilman Barnette, Councllnan
Hamernik and Councalman Fitzpatrick voted in favor of the motzon. Councilman

inspection, the Council must first adopt this resolution.
Mr, Flora stated, if a problem is found during the inspection, zt would be
necessary to come back to the Council with another resolution to deternine
how to proceed. He stated, at the present time, if a flood pro7ect was to be
completed, Federal funds would be used at no cost to the City, however, this
could change at any time in the future.

recormnendation on what actions should be taken to correct them are made and
the Council did not feel they could proceed with the corrections, he felt
there should then be some notification to the properties within the area as
to the results of the study.
Councilman Hamernik asked if there is the possibility that the current levee �
could be determined to he a permanent levee.
Mr. Flora stated it would be a possibility, but the chances would be
relatively slim. He felt possibly with some modifications it could, in fact,
become a sul�stantial structure,

L(YP SPLIT REOUEST. L. S. #83-01, BY MAI:GIIRLT SEGER. 1586 OSEORNE
� ROAD ADID 7650 LAKFSIDE ROAD:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this is a request to split off the
southerly 104.02 feet of Lot 1, Block 2, Spring Lake Park Lakeside. He stated
the Planning Conunission has recommended approval of the lot split with the
follaaing stipulations: (1) staff clarify the amount of easement needed off
Osborne Road for street and bikeway/walkway; (2) staff check to see if any
easements are required frwn the utility companies and cable television; (3)
staff clarify the sewer line; and (4) the applicant get a survey of the
property prior to the Council meeting.
Mr. Flora stated a 17 foot street and a 15 foot bikeway/walkway easement for
a total of 32 feet is needed along Osborne Road. He further stated, as far
as the easements for the utility companies and cable television, these
wouldn't be necessary as they are serviced off Lakeside or Osborne Road.
Mr. Flora pointed out a problem does exist, however, for ad�acent Lot 2, if a
lot split is ever requested for this lot.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated with this ]ot split, the City is trying to
assure utility access for Lot 2, even though Lot 1 is the only one requested
to be split at this particular time. He felt a five foot easement should be
required on each side of the division (split) line.
� Mr. Qureshi stated another stipulation would be payment of water and sewer
assessments if they haven't already been p�id.
Mr. Seger presented a certificate of survey and voiced concern over providing
a 32 foot easement on Osborne Road, as it really cuts down the size of the
lot.
P4r. Qureshi felt this wouldn't be a problem and the staff could work with the
petitioner on this point.
h'fOTION by Councilman Schneider to concur with the recommendation of the
Planning Conunission and qrant lot split L. S. #83-01 sub7ect to the following
stipulations: (1) a 17 foot right-of-way easement be provided on the north
side of the northerly lot and the additional 15 foot bikeway/walkway easement
to the City; (2) a 10 foot easement for utilities be provided on the lot
split line; (3) the property owner agrees to p3y any water and sewer utility
lateral and service wnnection assessments if they ha�en't already been paid;
and (4) payment of the $500 park fee. Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried

Councilman Hamernik questioned how the drainage would be handled. Mr. Flora
stated there probably would be a small retention pond, but staff hadn't had a
chance to work with them on it. He stated he was sure this could be worked
out to detain some of the water be£ore it goes into the storm sewer system.
Mr. Dick Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace, stated the drainage problem has
probably already been solved with the installation of the new curbing. He
stated the area to the south has a detention area and since the curbing was
put in, they haven't had any problems.
