OPEN FORUM. VISITORS:
Mr, Dean Saba, 6325 Van Buren Street NE, stated that one week ago today, he
attended the mailorial sexvice for young Peter Collins, age 1D. Peter tried
to bicycle across Highway 65 at Rice Creek Road near the Country Club
Market. Since both sides of the highway are marked for bike trails, he was
sure Peter thought he was safe.
Mr. Saba stated that in reviewing the map of the bikeways in the City of
Fridley, he counted no fewer than 12 intersections where bikeways approach a
ma�or highway. He stated he felt bikeways improve a city; they make the
city a�rt of the people; and we need more bikeways. However, although
most bikeways approach, but do not always cross the highways, it is
-1-
� �i
,� r
CO[JNCIL ME�PING OF NOVEMBER 5, 1984
unreasonable to expect that a child w�ll not attempt to cross, He stated he
felt city goverrnnent was ultimately �udgecl by haa safe the city is to live
in and raise a f-ami7y. He felt Fridley was falling short in this area.
Mr. Saba stated he realized there were lunitations on exactly what can be
done by the G ty with na�or state and county roads, but he did not feel the
City should accept these l�mitations. There has to be somethieg the City
can clo, wkaether it is lobbying or persistance, to reduce the speed lunits on
Hiyhway 65 and Eighway 47.
Mr. Saba statea Fridley is known as a city that exists along the f reeway. '
t9ariy people do not even realize they have yone through the Ca.ty of Fridley,
because they are going throuqh it at 55 m�h.
N1r. Saba stated he felt the City must consider:
1, minc� whatever is possible to reduce speed limits on both ma�or
state highways intersecting the City,
2. Posting large signs warning motorists of bike and pedestrian
traEfic at bikeway intersections.
3. Tncreasing the time allaaed to cross on green lxghts.
4. Consider building walkways across some ot the more dangerous
intersections as some other cities have done.
Mr. Saba stated he hopec3 young Peter Collins had not died in vain and that
throuyh hi� death the City might be made safe f or the rest of their young
people. He stated this matter needs and deserves top priority!
Mr. Qureshi, City I�ianar,er, stated he fully agreed with the comments made by
M�r. Saba. He stated the Ca.ty is in constant oontact and are consistently
requesting the same things fran the County and State Highway Departments. '
They have recently requested that the County make more studies on the county
roads, The City seems to have more ir�fluence on the County, but the State
has certain standards and crateria and the Ctty's requests have fallen on
c�eaf ears.
Mr. Qureshi stated the City has re�uested that the State mark crosswalks on
all the highways. That was a saall step, but a step iri the right direction.
At least it gives the motorists the impression that these higYiways are being
used for pedestnan and bike traffic.
h�:. Qureshi stated the City has requested some special signage, even
offering to p3y the cost in certain areas, but there has been no response to
this request,
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated there has been no resgonse on
signs, but the State has started putting in the crosswalks at Mississippi
and Rice Creek Road at Flighway 65. He started requesting the crosswalks as
early as lzst April. To date, the State had only �inted the crosswalk at
-2-
�
��.1� ul 51 �, � �,�1/ uIC •
Mississippi and Highway 47, but now have started on Mississippi and Rice
Creek Road at Highway 65.
Mr. Flora stated that as far as si�age, MnDOT does not believe in sians,
because it has been proven that signs are not very effective as a means of
deterring accidents or slowing down traffic. The City has asked for signs
but has not received a positive response.
� Mr. Qureshi stated he would r�uest that concerned citizens write the State
Highway Dep�rtment expressing these concerns. They should contact Dick
Braun, State Transportation Conu�iission, Transportation Building, St, Faul
55101. If the citizens would help by contacting the State Hic�hway
De�rtment, it might give the City ihe help it needs.
Mr. Saba stated there was one very important consideration that might help
change the minds of the State, and that was that the City of Fridley naa has
one school centrally loced between Highways 47 and 65. Children living east
of Highway 65 who stay after school for activities oL-ten have no way of
getting home except to walk unless a parent picks them up. Motorists
traveling at 55 mph are not even thinking oP looking for children crossing.
This is a major situation that has to be rectified. Mr Qureshi stated the
Ctiy wants the s�eed limit as laa as possible to make it safe for all cross
traffic, The state wants to move the traff�c as fast as possible.
A citizen in the audience asked if Mr. Qureshi was saying it was ho�eless to
request a laaer speed l�mit. Would a personal appeal from the citizens have
any effect on this request?
Mr. Qureshi stated the City atone has not been able to affect the State with
what they want, and maybe they need some help from the citizens of the
oommunity. The City is doing everything it reasonably can at the city
level. The basic things the City wants are better signage, better
' crossaalks, and a 1 aaer speed 1 unit,
Mr. Saba stated that in view of what has been said at this meeta.ng, he would
like to ask every citizen of the city, every person who cares about the
safety of their youth, to write the State Highway Department, the state
legislature, anyone they feel will help rectify this problem. IIe even
appeals to the city schools to help, through petitions or whatever method
that was best. He thought the citizens now have to get involved.
A citizen in the audience stated that if the City wants the citszens to
help, it might be helpful to include a suggested form letter along with
names and addresses in the city n�asletter that would aid the citizens iri
writing letters,
Mayor Nee stated letters from citizens are more effective when they are
written fran the heart, HaaEVer, the City could state probl�n and 9ive the
names and addresses of where they could wrzte.

-5-
L_J�
,
;�'� m °
COLTNCIL MEE'I'ING OF NOVENIBER 5. 1984
is consic7ering purchasing the large �rcel of property to the west of Able
Street, in so cbing, they are interested in knowing if they are required to
keep the street as a t�oundary, or if they can, in effect, incorporate that
street into their develognent. Therefore, they have requested the City
consider the vacation of Able Street between 73rd and the railroad tracks by
Locke Fark.
Mr. Flora stated the Plamm�g Corn�nission was concerned about an alternate
access from 73rd Avenue to Locke Park for use of those f acilities by the �
residents of P�lody Nfanor. ThereEore, the Planning Commission recommencled
to the City Council approval, in principle, with the stipulation that before
the vacation actually commences, there be an approved, improved access to
Locke Park.
Mr. Flora stated they have talked to the Target Corporation and based upon
the ultimate use of the property, there could be an easement or road
provided along the boundary line, but this depends on how the property is to
be used.
Mayor Nee stated the people in the audience might be interested to know that
this would be taking out rnost of the land that is now in the inventory for
the hazardous waste treatment facility. Staff has worked for about a year
to get that 1and committed to a more acceptable use, and Target indicated an
interest in doing that.
A citizen in the audience stated he was interested in this item because he
lived on Van Buren Street. He asked if Target did expand their warehouse,
hav did they propose to get all their trucks in and out of the area?
Ns. Dick Brooks, Regional Real Estate P�anager for Target, stated they have
riot completed their plans for expansion of the distribution oenter, but they
have entered into an agreanent to purchase the property. As far as how thEy
would handle the trucks, they will probably handle than in a simil.ar manner
to what they are doing today, which is along 73rd Avenue on the Erontage �
road. He was not able to comment fully because they have not completed
their plans.
A citizen in the audience askecl if the Ca,ty required landscaping along 73rd
A�enue to screen the developnent from Melody Manor.
NSr. Qureshi stated they have a standard that greenery has to be maintained
along 73rd. There has to be a reasonable separation between the develognent
and the residents.
Mr. Qureshi stated tYiat, as Mayor Plee had pointed out, 80 acres along 73rd
Avenue have been designated by the Hazardous Waste Board for a preferred
hazardous waste site. The City has been aggressively pursuing to get this
land put to a better use. Luckily for the City, Target decided to expsnd in
the oommumty. They feel Target has been a good cooperative citizen of the
cnmmunity, The City has a good working relationship with than, and they are
sure Target will do everything reasonable to protect the ad�oining
neic�,hborhood by preserving same type of green strip that already exists, or,
'�
,
�� L�.i .._ 4� . � �J�4�� '
if it does not e� st, adding to it fox an adequate buffer.
A citizen in the audience stated that this s�er there was a proposa� to
e�and 73rd to make it four lanes all the way irom Highway 65 to Highway 47
to oontinue the bike �th and maybe do sanething with the frontage road and
the buffer strip. Was that proposa7. going to oorne up again now that Target
might expand?
Mayor Nee stated this did not relate to Target. The proposal was for
curbing an the south and f inal surface mat because the road was ne�ei
fini.shed. At the time, the talk was why build a 9 ton road when there are
no 9 ton vehicles using it. Because the curb was not put in on the soutl.
and the mat was not put on, the street is unraveling and is starting to
become a maintenance problan. The Ca.ty Council decided not to Ueal witl� it
because of the neighborhoocl opposition. He did not know if it was connectec7
to this question. Whether that proposal comes u� agair� in the future will
depend on the develognent along this secynent.
Mr. Qureshi stated that if any upgxading of the road is done, the cost will
be borne by the property to the south. It would not have any cost effect on
the property to the north.
Mayor Nee stated he had good feelings about laryet. Target has been a good
citizen in the community. When Target expressed an interest in this
property, he saw it as an answer to a constructive use for that property,
compared to what the alternatives were.
M�TTON by Councilman Barnette to close tYie public Yiearing. Seconded by
Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously and the publ�c hearinc� closed at 8:30 p.m.

Mayor Nee stated Pastor Gene Hermeler, Recieemer Lutheran Church, had asked
to speak to the City Council on this g�rticular iten.
Pastor Hermeier stated he was speaking more as a concerned citizen in the
oommuriity rather than a religious leader in the community. He was very
concerned, as he believed the Councilmembers were also, about the whole
busir�ess of the attitude taward law. TYiat was his reason for addressing the
City Cauncil and he ho�ed the City Council understood his public support of
the leadership of the police and city goverrment.
Pastor Herme�er stated he was very frustrated at this point, especially
regarcU.ng the role of Health C1ub #1. His concern was basically that the
word they hear day after day fram the citizens of Fridley is that the law is
there and everyone knows the lzta is being violated, but somehow they are
frustrated about why rnore cannot be done about it in order to make it
possible to live in their society in peace and decency.
Pastor Hermeier stated hls ooncern was not �ust as a moral religious leader,
but what can they do more frorn a legal angle--how can they unleash the
police more, or how can th�r get at this thing when they all know what the
Health Cl.ub �61 is? As people of the religious community, they will stay
with it and continue to picket, but how can the law s�nehow be given teeth
in this whole matter? That was his frustration.
Pastor Hermeier stated he was also concerned as a�stor of a congregation.
Their people honestly trp to raise their children to be good, moral,
clearrliving citizens of i:he community. But, if they see some gxoup that
seens to be able to spurn the law and get by with it aver and over again, it
is something that re7ects all that they are being taught, it is a real
serious �atter, and that is why they are on the picket line.
Pastor Hermeier stated other churches are becoming involved in this issue
also, and they are in it for the long pull.
Mr. J�m Hill, Public Safety Director, stated it was encouraging to realize �
there were people, other than the police, who were frustrated over this
�x rticular problen. He stated he felt the police departrnent has been doing
all they can legitimately legally do for the �st three years to bring this
establishment into legal control of city orainances and state statutes.
Mr. H�].1 stated this was not the only establishment they have had in the
City, but they have been successf ul, to the best of his knowledge, in
closing all of these down except for the particular establishment in
question. The Ci.ty had established a suana ordtnance that has been rather
effective against most places except this one. They are wnstantly battlinq
and constantly putting under-cover officers into the establishment. They
have made 12 arrests as of i-his date, and they will continue this effort.
rir. Hill stated that as a result of a meeting that morning with Pastor
FIermeier and s�le individuals of his congregation, they have requested the
Health Inspector to visit the establishment, as they understand there has
been a new addition to it that may well be abolished in some other city
�
�
�
�
�� 1� _ ul_51 __ �' � \,� I ul: �1' ' �]
ordinances. They haue also instructed the City Attorney to do sorne
additional research based on sane other informata.on provided to the City at
that meeting on the controls of the establishment.
Mr. Hill stated this was the second reading of the ordinance. Tl1e f irst
reading was held on October 1, 1984, From there it went to Planning
Commission on October 17. �e Pl�uuiing Canunission unarumously approved the
dociunent as amended after the f irst readinq. He stated they feel this
ordinance is basically the additional approach to their ultunate solution to
mrrect this situation.
F9r. Hil.l stated that thEy are currently o�eratiny under a 1905 state statute
on public nuisances. They intend to continue in that mode. The County
Attorney's office has indicated their 000peration and assistance in this.
Haaever, the County Attorney, as well as the City Attorney's office, has
also rECOnunended they adopt this additional chapter as additional grounds
for proceeding to attempt to correct the situation. Mr. Hill stateci he
would recommend the City Council consider favorable action on this orciinance
at this meeting.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney stated he could understand the frustrations being
expressed. Speaking frcrn a philoso�hical standpoint as far as the law is
ooncerned, there is an old saying that "the wheel.s of �ustice grind slow."
This is often true, but he thought in their legal system that has developeU
in the United States, over a long period of time, they have developed a
legal procedure that is designed to wnvict the guilty, but also protect the
innocent, and sanetunes in establishing those rules and procedures, the
guilty people are able to take advantage of the rules. Fran his standpoint,
he thought these rules are necessary and even though it takes longer to
acoomplish something, there are reasons for those rules.
Mr. Herrick stated that, as Mr. Hill saiG, the Fridley Fblice Dep�rtrnent and
' the City Attorney's office, the City Prosecutor, and more recently the
County Attorney's office, are working on this problen. IHe believed Fridley
was the first community in Minnesota to adopt an ordinance such as this.
Hopefully, it wi11 be helpEul in achieving the goal they are �ekirag, There
are sane benefits and some drawbacks to being a pioneer in this kind of
field. 7Yie benefits, of course, are that if it is founa to be a valid
ordinance and if the city and the county can provide what is required to be
pxoven under this ordinance, hopefully they can get rid of the probl�. The
disadvantage is that the ordinance is new and has not been tested so they
are not able to point to a specific court deci�ion that upholds this
ordinance. They will probably have to go through the procedure to determine
whether the ordinance can stand up in court. In their ongoing cases, there
have been arrests, and he believed one or more of those cases are presently
pending in the �udicial court system that have not been resolved. They are
hoping to get the necessary evidence and necessaxy wrivictions in order to
put this ordinance to the test to see whether it w�.11 succeed and they can
get an in�unction to prohibit the operation of the business.
Mayor Nee stated people keep asking him if there is all that crime, why
can't the establishment k�e shut down?

COUNCIL h1EETING OF NOVEP�ER 5. 1984
Mr. Herrick stated there was a question as to whether there was "all that
crime," They know there have been crimes c�nunitted, because there have been
convictions-corroictions for grostitution, Tn those cases where there have
been corivictions, there have been sentences under the statutes or ordinanoes
used in tYae cases, and the penalties have been g�id. The difficulty comes
in wrroincinq the wurts that this is an ongoing situation and, theref ore,
they ought to close the supposed health club because of the corrvictions that
have been obtained. One of the clifficulties is to obtain the proof that is
required, because whatever is going on is going on behind closed doors, and �
it is not easy to obtain the proof,
Pastar Hermeier stated their children might be old by the time this
ordir�ance is able to be enforced. Was there anything else that could be
c7one?
Nfr. Herrick stated they are proceeding with the cases they have under the
existing statute. As far as this g�rticular ordinance is concerned, there
will have to be three convictions acoording to the terms of the ordinance
before the ordinance can be irrooked,
Councilman Barneti:e stated he saw this as a dollars and cents situation.
The peogle who a,�n the business have irroested a great deal of money into the
building and the business. By people picketing the business, there was no
cyuestion but that it will drive away business. If, in fact, they drive away
enough business and it becomes an unprof itable operation, the owners may
close the business. That could take some time, too, but he felt Pastor
Hermeier and his congregation and other churches are doing a real sexvice to
tYie conununity. He stated it is going to take time, and it is f rustrating
for all of then. The Council menbers are sympathetic to this concern and
they were very appreciative to what Redeemer Lutheran Church and other
churches are doing. It is going to take a tremendous commum ty effort to
rnake that business a losing business, dollar-wise, and to get it closed
down.
P citizen in the audience asked if there was any reason why thEy have to let '
the business renain open 24 hours.
Mr. Herrick stated they cltc'r not have any authority to control the hours.
There are certain businesses the state prescribes the hours for, but he did
not know of any rules where a health club couldn't be open 24 hours a day.
A citizen in the audience stated that when the ordinance does go into
effect, how soon will the three arrests be made? Haa much initiat,ive is the
City qoing to take?
Mr. Hill stated they will make every effort to acquire the arrests as
reasonably soon as poss�.ble. The corroictions, of wurse, are another issue
as they go through the court system.
Mr. Qureshi stated he would like to recap what the City has been doing the
last few years. Ttac� actually have a four-pronged approach. Originally,
they had a zoning and health ordinance that had sane affect. Then the City
-10-
�
�
L�
�� L1 I � _.,� • ��1�-4�� •• �
Council adopted a massage ordinance to control this kind of operation. That
had sane additional affect. Recently, tkie State Fublic Nuisance statute
further aided what they already had on the books. The fourth thing they are
doing is the "Houses of Prostitution: Public Nuisance" ordinance they are
adopting now. He stated no other city in the state has adopted this
ordinance so they are "plaaing new ground", Zhere is going to be a sizable
cost burden to the community to get this ordinance tested through the
caurts. He stated the picketing by the citizens actually makes th�s a
5-pronged approach and gives the city further help in getting this operation
� closed down, The City has already eliminated a number of these kinds of
businesses. Once they have eliminated this business, with all the
ordinances, hopef ully, it w�.l.l give the city enough resources to discouregE
ariyone else fran moving into this commuaity.
NIOTION by Councilman Hamertuk to waive the second reachng of i:he N�a Chapter
126 entitled "Houses of Prostitution: Public Nuisance" and adopt it on the
:,econd reading and order publication. Secondec� by Councilman Fit2patrick.
Upon a voice vote, ail voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried

Mr. Flora stated this iten deals with the property on the southwest corner
of Faixmont and East River Road. It is proposee3 to corn�ert the old service
station into a convenience store with gasoline pumps. The Planning
Com�zission recommended approval with eight stipulations. He outlined these
stipulations.
Mr. Flora stated the petitioners have obtained a leuldscape plan which will
cover the area. ThEy have agreed to provide a 17 ft, easement along East
P�.ver Road, to relocate the entrance on Fairmont further ta the west, to
� unprove the exterior of the building, and to satisfy a1i the stipulations

the outside of the 6uilding; but a recent N� ruling requires that various
hazardous waste �e stored under a covered structure. Theref ore, the
hardship is that blinco is required to have better storage area for
non-fl�nnable chanical waste to acctmulate prior to haulaway and that the
building would be attached and com�tible with the existing structure. The
addition is �roposed to k�e located where they currently have the outdoor
storage and where they w�.11 also install some noisy air compressors, This
