SeooncZed by Cb�cilman Schryeider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 7:47 p. m. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated this ordi.nanoe really doesn't require a public hearing, but staff felt it was 9mportant to get public input on this proposal. fle stated inf ormation regarding this hearing was publ ished in the newsgaper and articles appeared in the Fridley Fbcus and the City's newsletter to inform residents about the hearing on the storm drainage utility system. Mr. �� . �\ � V�--�_ ��. � i \l .� �. ' : Flora, Public Works Director, stated in 1982 the State passed legislation regarding management of surface water. He stated this resulted in the fornnation of a new water management organization, as we11 as c7�velopnent of regional and local plans to ideritify problsns. Mr. Flora stated, in reviewing 'the requirenents of the State, seven items were addressed. He stated these were: (1) the age of the storm water system; (2) protecting the ir�vestment the City has in this system; (3) increased land development; (4) errviror�¢nental concerns; (5) the State mandate for stozm water management; (6) recharging ground water acquif ier; and (7) the equitable distribution of vosts. Mr. Flora stated, currently, the storm water sy`stem is maintained through property ta�oes. Mr. Flora stated many properties, because o� thei r size or type crf develognent, aontribute more runoff than a r�rmal residential Iot. He stated it is proposed to adopt a utility that would pro-rate the oost of storm water to those users. He stated in order to establish an equitable fee for all properties, several groups have been created according to the type c� property and the zanount o� storm water they oontribute. Mr. Flora stated the six groups established were as follows: (I) single fanily homes �a a�e�s; (2) ceqneteries; (3) parks; (4) schools and aanununity centers; (5) multiple family dwellings and churches; and (6) carnmercial and industrial property. Mr. Flora stated a Residentiat Equivalency Factor was established and the aQnount per quarter each group would gay is based on this factor. As an examp�e, he stated the rates for single family hames or dugle�es are $5.25 per quarter per REF acre. He stated, based on the fact that there are about three single family hames or duplexes per acre, the oost would be $1.75 per quarter. He stated each � the groups is assic�ed a REF to determine their quarterly cost for this storm drainage utility syst�n. Mr. Flora stated if vwners of properties have necessary on--site facilities which imprwe water quality and maintain preconstruction outflaw rates, they can apgly for a reduoed fee. �uncilman Fitz�trick asked if this approach would generate monies to maintain the creeks. Mr. Qureshi, City I�lanager, stated he felt it woutd allow the use of some of the ftmds to take scme preventive measures to help alleviate the probleqns. He stated, hawever, if there are any impravements to be made, he would rewmnend the assessnent method. He stated this fund would, essentially, maintain and repair the e�.sting facilities. Councilman Schneider asked if this fund would be used for ar�y type of dredging of ponds or open ditch maintenanoe. Mr. Qureshi stated he felt this was in the same category as mairitaining the stornn sewer pipes and funds oould be used for this purpose. O�Lmcilman Se�u'eider stated the maintenance of the storm water system is currently being done with monies f ran the General F'�nd and asked the reasons for having this utility fund. -3- �;� 1� 1 ui�?�� . • ;�t .: C+ Mr. Qureshi stated the City collects only so much in property taxes and there is always the question of priorities. He stated it seens maintenance itc�ns always receive a lower priority and, vonsidering the storm sewer systen's age and the State mandate for �ritrolling runoff, it is important to pravide adequate care and maintenanoe. Ae stated it is felt this method of obtaining f�ds to maintain the system would be fair and equitable as eac� property w�ould be paying their fair share according to the amount of water generated on their property. Mayor Nee stated the syste�n was built by assessne.nt and the City really can't go back and start all arer again. He stated he felt the Ci.ty w�ould also faoe the saane problens in the future with the sanitary sewer system. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he hoped the creeks would also be maintained, as well as the storn� sewer giping, because they have been used in the same way. Gouncilman Schneider asked if any i.np�t has been reoeived f rcm any of the businesaes. Mr. Qureshi stated this has been given heavy publicity, but there hasn't been any resp�n�e. Cbwzcilman Barnette stated it has to be known that this money would be clearly set aside £or �he storm drainage utility system. Mr. Qureshi stated if this proposal is acbpted, the oost to mai.ntain the stotm drainage system would be eliminated in the General Fund budget. Mr. Irman, City Qerk, stated it would also require a resolution by the ��cil in order to transfer any of these funds to ar�ther fund. No persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposal for a storm drainage util ity c}�arge. NDTION by O�uncilman Barnette to close the public hearing. Seconded by O��cilman Schneider.

Mr. Qureshi stated the Qouncil held a public hearing on the proposed relocation of Able Street ancl there were r� objections. Mr. Eugene Link, attorr�y representing Daytori Hudson Corporation, stated they wnuld like the seoond reacling of the ordinarioe to vacate Able Street, svbject to Dayton Hudson and Target complying with all the terms of the agreenent. Mr. Qures�hi stated, with the vacation of Able Street, Dayton Hudson would be responsible to prwide an alternate acoess fran 73rd Avenue to Locke Park. Mr. Qureshi questioned if Dayton Hudson wanted the street vacation naw. Mr. Link stated it is his imderstanding the ordinanoe for the vacation had been dianged so the vacation would be subject to the agreeznent and provides the vacation actually wouldn't revert to them until the replaoement street has been oanpleted. Mr. Newman, representing the City Attorney' s off ice, stated the vacation woulc�'t occur until the terms of the agreement are met. He stated he �derstands thi.s would be a binding agree�nent and neither party would be able to get out of the terms.

UPQN A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTIIiG AYE, CHA:RWOlHAN SCHNABEL DECLARED TXE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7t33 P.X. Mr. Robinson stated this property was located just east of Highway 65 on the north and south side of 61th Ave. 7he present zoning is R-1 (single faMity). The majority of the neighborhood is sinqle family, althouQh there are some R-3 zones that are not being utilized as R-3. The plat in question called for 18 townhouses, 11 of them to be located on Lot 2. Block 1, ap�roxi- mately 33,800 sq. ft. 7he density was 1 unit per 3,072 sq. ft. 7A PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING,,JANUARY 23, 1985 _� �� PAGE 2 Mr. Robinson stated 7 units, approximately 28,810 sq. ft., would be located on Lot 7, Block 2. The density was 1 unit ner 4,]16 sq. ft. Mr. Robinson stated that along with the plat the petitioners are requesting, there are several variances that will have to be approved. The variances on the lot to the north (Lot 2, Biock 1) inciude a driveway setback from right-of-way from 75 ft, to 30 ft.; a right-of-way setback to the buildinq from 35 ft, to 25 ft.; rear yard setbacks from 25 ft. to 20 ft.; and a sideyard setback from 15 ft, to 10 ft. The lot to the south (Lot 7. Block 2) _has fewer variances. There is a driveway setback from 75 ft. to 45 ft.; and two sideyard variances from 15 ft. to 10 ft. Mr. Robinson stated that fn general, the 18 tawnhouses wil] be "zero" lot iine construction. Each un�t will have 2-3 bedrooms and double car garages with additional surface parkinq and approximately 1,500 sq. ft. of living area. Estimated cost of these townhouses will be $85,000 and up. Mr. Robinson stated that in terms of the City's Comprehensive Plan, the City does feel that multi-family housinq is good for the City; however� alonq with that policy, the City has stated in the Comprehensive Plan that housing should be at a density compatible with the surroundinq area. In addition to that, the City has encouraged new housing construction to be compatible with the neighborhoods in which the housing is located. Ms. Schnabel asked if the petitioners were in the audience. Mr. James Neilson stated he was an attorney representing the develo�ers. He stated there were two owners of the property. Mr. Jack Menkveld, builder and develo�er, was the owner of the property to the south. Mr. Wallace Miller was the owner of the property to the north, and the townhouses would be built by Mr. Menkveld. Mr. Neilson stated the property was intended to be divided which means platting. The platting would be for a townhouse development. a sfnqle family residential, owner-occupied dwelling. Each dwellinq wi11 have a tuck-under two-car garage of 1,470 sq. ft. The estinated tax value for each parcel would he about �1,100 for a iota] of �19,800 for both Block 1 and Block 2. Mr. Neilson stated that if this was a single family dwelling, no variances would be required. With a townhouse deveiopment, in order to have the plat go on record, they woutd have restrictive covenants and declarations for the homeowners' association, articles of incorporation. and by-laws. These are single family residences, not an apartment complex. Mr. Neilson stated the developer has planned for three buildings of three units, one building with four units and one building with five units. Both the block on the south as well as the block on the north would hold the same amount of units if they were straight across on 67th. That was not inLended by the developer. The developer believes that aesthetically, it is much better to try to divide it into as small a unit as possible. Aesthetically, it was also much better for the neighborhood. � COf�'1ISSI0�� MEETING, JANUARY 23 1985 � PAGE 3 Neilson stated it should be taken into account that on the west side of prooerty, there is presently a church and churth parking lot. To the west of Mr. Mi11er's pro�erty. there is one house and further to the west is vacant property. The area is unique because it is right next to Hiqhway 65. Imnediately on the other side of the high�ay is an apart�ent complex. as well as commercial property all the way to the north from directly across from 67th Ave. 7B Mr. Neilson stated the real reason for asking for an R-3 zoninq was in order to build a more dense area than is allowed for single family. In manv cities, this particular complex would be in a PUD district. Fridley has a five acre requirement. Because there is a five acre reo.uirement, the oniy zoning permissible for a townhouse or condominium on a small area is R-3 zoninq. In looking at density and sideyard requirements and requiremenLs for drive- ways, he felt the R-3 zoning was really addressing apartment complexes. For an apartment complex, the R-3 zoning would permit 17 units on the north and 22 units on the south. This was not what the developer was askinq for. The developer was merely asktng for 7 units and 11 units. Mr. Neilson stated the developer had originally planned 19 units on these two blocks instead of i8. 8ecause of a toncern of an adjoininq property owner to the south. Mr. Orville Jacobson, the developer agreed to eliminate one of the originally proposed townhouses. � Mr. Neilson stated that all the stipulations required by the Planning De{>artMent are acceptable; however, since the units were reduced from 19 to 18� the park fee would be reduced from $9,500 to �9.000. Mr. Neilson stated 11r. Menkveld has been a builder for a number of years. He built a number of homes in 1984, and Mr. Neilson had brought some pictures to show the Commission some of the homes Mr. Menkvetd had built in 1984. Mr. Robinson asked what type of construction would be used. Mr. Miller stated the structures would be all wood with brick fronts. Ms. Schnabel asked if there were any comrnents from people in the audience. Ms. Angela Percic, 1020 68th Ave. N.E., submitted a petition to the Planning Comnissibn stating that those residents who had signed the petition were opposed to the rezoning and wanted the property to remain R-1, single family.

Ferguson, 6811 Oakley St. N.E., stated thESe are single family homes in this area. What impact ��rould these proposed townhouses have ort tMe neighborhood with the increased number of oeople livinq in the area and the increased traffic? 7C PLANNING COMMISSIOW ME�TING, JANUARY 23; 1985 �� PAr,E 4 Mr. Miller stated the townhouses would have very little impact on the current status of the neighborhood, because directly adjacent to the pro- posed townhouses was Highway 65. 7he traffic should not be increased on either 68th St. or Oakley St. , Mr. J. R. Ferguson asked Mr. Neilson what was going to ha�pen to the value of his property in the next 10 years if these townhouses are built. Mr. Neiison stated that, having done this type of w�rk for 21 years, it was his opinion that the townhouses would not decrease the value of Mr. Ferguson's ho�e at all. There are many other things that could be put on that nroperty, such as very small homes, that might affect the value of his property. Mr. �erguson stated he was not concerned with single family homes. If the proposed townhouse development was constructed, he would be concerned about his property, the increased amount of traffic, and the value of his home in the future. Mr. Peter Vagovich, 6600 Brookview Dr. N.E.. stated he lives approximately 100 ft. from the proposed development. He has lived in this home for six years. Ne stated one concern he had was the increased traffic. The traffic is already heavy on Brookview Drive. He stated he was against the pro�osal and was in favor of single family homes. He stated there was no quarantees that these townhouse units would not be rented. He stated there is already quite a bit of low income throughout the neighborhood, but yet the neiqhbor- hood is kept up well. He would rather take his chances with sinqle family homes and less traffic. Ms, Martha Reckdall. 7823 Alden Way N.E., stated she was Land Manaqement Chairman for Michael Servetus Unitarian ChurcF�. She stated they like their location because of the woods and the quiet. The proposed townhouse develon- ment would definitely change the environment surrounding their church. On behalf of the Michael Servetus Unitarian Church, she was o�aosed to the development. � Ms. Ke11ie Vagovich, 6600 8rookview Drive N.E., stated they have inquired about real estate, and the,v have never heard that townhouses, duplexes, apartment buildings, or multiple dwellings of any kind increased the value of a sinyle family home. She had always understood that they decreased the value of a single familv home. Mr. Wayne Bosell, 6821 Oakley St. N.E., stated he first moved into Fridley in 1952 with his parents. As he watched the area grow up from nothing, his idea of zoning was a place for everything and everything in its p]ace. He has n�ticed that very few of the areas with single fami]y dwellings are dotted wfth apartment buildings or industry close by. He was for maintaining the f� single family dwelling areas as they are. . 7D PLANNI��G COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 23, 1985 _ PAGE 5 PlOTION BY MR. KQNDRZCK, SECONDED BY l�2.

Mr. Robinson stated the proposal was to take 40 ft. from the parcel to the north and add it Lo the parcel to the south. The additional land will be used as a side yard and would also eliminate a side yard variance. This was a simple straightforward reauest, except bv splittinq off the 40 ft, this would eliminate a buildable ]ot. Mr. Wiens was aware of this and was agreeable to this. Mr. Robinson stated Staff was recormending the followinq two stipulations: (1) The survey be recorded with the County; and (2) The issue of a park fee be resolved with the City Council.

Mr. Backiund stated that he naticed the next item on the agenda was discussion on possible revisions to the Sign Ordinance. He stated he would like to address the proliferation of yard signs durinq an election. He stated it was difficult to maintain yard signs and they are an eyesore. He did not have an answer to the problem. but it should be addressed as the problem is only going to get worse. He stated that Spring Lake Park's siqn ordinance does not aiiow 32 sq. ft. yard signs on R-1 property. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 23, 1985 PAGE 6 4. DISCUSSION OP1 PQSSIBLE REVISIONS IN THE SIGN 4RDINANCE: Mr. Robinson stated Staff is researching the possibility of revising the City's Sign Ordinance. Primary issues they fee� need to be addressed are: 1. The status of a sign variance upon replacement of the structure, chan�e of tenant or owner. 2. The status of legal non-conforming signs unon change of tenant or owner, particularly when part of an overall sign plan. 3. The restriction of free-standing pylon sign size to 80 square feet in area per development. Mr. Robinson stated Staff was considering the following solutions to the above three issues: 1. 2. 3. 7he tightening of sign variance duration to the immediate sign and tenant/owner. Removal of legal non-conforming status upon change of the message displaved upon the siqn or tenant/owner. Revising the total square footaqe for a free-standing siqn area allowed per development to be more sensitive to the wide range of develooment types (i.e. multiple tenant center vs. singular operations) and total area of the lot and/or structure and street frontage. 7E Mr. Barna asked how they would address differently a permanent faced sign as compared to a changeable faced sign--where the message is changed frequently. He stated �t has been the feeling of the Appeals Cortmission that if they varied a sign for a business, they varied it for that business only. It was not intended thaL a new owner of a different business should continue with the same sign. Mr. Minton stated �Y1 sounded good, but regarding #�2, maybe the removal of a legal non-conforr.iing status upon change of the message was too ambiguous here. but a change of business even by the same owner should be an occasion for eliminating the variance. Mr. Barna stated it was his understanding that when a sign was aitered in any way, replaced, relocated, or damaged more Lhan 50�, those were terminating factors on a variance. There have been instances where the Appeals Comnission has made stipulations of other additional terminations on variances. Mr. Robinson stated that was under Section 214.17.2 Legal Conforming Signs and did not address variances. Mr. Minton stated that it should be made clear in the code that any time a sign is being replaced by more than 50�, the variance should lapse. This would not include the pylon. 1F PLAt�NING CONMISSION NIEETING, JANUARY 23, 1985 PA�f. 7 Ms. Schnabel stated the Commission should also take a look at whether or not there should be another section in the Sign Ordinance which dealt specifically with. not only lapsing of variances, but when a sign becomes illegal. Mr. Robinson gave an overview of what some other cortmunfties in the metro area are doing as far as the restriction af free-standing Signs for develo�ment. The Commissioners agreed they liked the idea of total square footage of free- standing sign area to be based on the total square footage of retail space. Mr. Barna stated they were talking about the sign as an area designation sign for the whole shoppinq center. not with every business in the shopping center having its name on the same pylon. From that ooint, the building sign plan would control the individual businesses' signs. Mr. Robinson stated that since the Planning Commission has indicated they would like to be nare restrictive on legal non-conforming signs and variances. Staff would prepare a draft to bring back to the Comnission. Ms. Schnabel stated Staff should al5o look at Mr, 8acklund's suggestion about politicai signs--possibly that 32 sq. ft, po�itical signs not be allowed in R-1 areas. 5. DISCUSS1oN ON CURBSiDE RECYCLtNr, IN FRIDLEY: � Mr. Robinson stated all the material inc]uded in the Commission's agenda had been presented to the City Council. The City Council has tabled this item at the last two meetings. He stated the Staff is now ready to out together specifications to go out for bids and proposals from the various haulers. Mr. Saba stated the Energy Comnission has looked at the curbside recycling program and support it 100X. The Energy Corm�ission made a motion at their last meeting recommending the City Counci adopt this plan. He stated it is a giant step in the right direction. Mr. Nielsen stated the Environmental Quality Comnission is firmly in support of the curbside recycling program for the City and made a motion to the City Council to authorize Staff to put out a request for proposals this winter with an ultimate goal being a curbside recycling program in place by June 1, 1985. !lOTION BY KR.

I thought it would be appropriate to highlight the Comnission's desires on this subject. The Environmental Quality Commission has been studying this issue for several months. At their January 23rd meeting, the members made a motion encouraging the CiLy Council to move ahead with a program. Their wish is that staff put together specifications and go out for proposals. Their hope is that the City have a program in place by June 1, 1985. ?he Comnunity Development Comnission endorces a curbside recycling program. On January 8th, they indicated that they would support the use of COBG funds for such a program if necessary. The Energy Comnission and the Planning Comnission have also studied the recycling issue. They are both in support of the Environmental Quality Commission�'s efforts. At their January meetings, both Cortmissions made motions in support of the Environmental Quality Comnission motion, to have a program in place by June 1, 1985. An additional comment by the Planning Cortmission was that the publicity/education program be a strong and thorough one. They felt this was needed as many citizens are confused about the need for alternative solid waste abatement strategies such as recycling. � JLR/de 0 RFSOi.OTION R0. — 1985 RFS�.IITION TO PROCEED WITH A CIIRBSIDB RECYCLING P80ti8tM FOR FRIDLBZ YREREAS, the Metropolitan Council has determined that alternative methods ,oP aolid waste abatement are �cessary for the region; and 1iHEREAS. curbside recycling is seen as an integral part of a comprehensive aolid wasLe program; and iiHEREAS. the State has passed legislation �hich allows the Metropolitan Council and the County to charge the landfill operator fees of �.50 and �.25 respectively per yarQ for Waste deposited at the landfills; and YHEREAS. these moaies caa be used to help cities establish aolid w aste abatement programs of Lheir c� n; and iiHEREAS. the Metropolitan Council has specified an available amount of �.50 per household or approximate2y �5,000 for the City of Fridley; aad �1HEREAS. a curbside recycling program for Fridley Would cost approximately �15.000, including subsidy to hauler, publiciLy and stafP time; and iiHEREAS. the Citq is attempting to be the leader for Anoka Couaty in implementing a curbside recycling program. NOW, 1�iEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Fridley that staff should proceed With the necessary steps to contract xith a qualified hauler, assist the hauler With publicity and solicit monies from both the Met�ropolitaa Council in the amount of �5,000 and Anoka.County in the amount of a,o,000.

Consideration of Disaster Preparedness Discussion continued until next meeting. d. Consideration of tatch Key Programs in Fridley Mr. Treuenfels stated the School Board has accepted a resolution to establish a latch key program in School District 14 only. He stated the Comnunity Education Advisory Council has decided the Cortmunity Education people should have control over the program. e. Consideration of 1985 Work Plan Mr. Treuenfels and Ms. Kocher submitted drafted goals and objectives for the 1985 work plan. Mr. Hunt stated he would have these prepared in work plan form for the next meeting. Ms. Kocher stated that regarding the goal, "Traffic Safety for Pedestrians and Bicylists Crossing Hiqhway 65 and Highway 47". she would like to invite Dean Saba to the next Comrnission meeting to discuss this item. f. Other Old Business: (1) School Prevention Programning Mr. Treuenfels stated that at one of the last Planning Cor�nission meetings, Mr. Minton had made a motion that the Human Resources Comnission would like to see the prevention programning expanded to all the elementary schools within the city limits of Fridley, both private and public, because of the importance of the programming. The motion had died for lack of a second. He stated he would like Mr. Minton to reintroduce a motion at the next Planning Comnission meeting that the prevention programming be expanded at least to all the public schools in Fridley. !!O"_'ION BY XR.

Mr. Hunt stated there was no reason why this progrartming could not be expanded to all the schools in Fridley, both public and private. It was a human rights issue, a service, to the comnunity. It had absolutely nothing to do with church and state. 7V APPEALS COMMISSION MEETI��G, JANUARY 15. 1985 PAGE 2 2.

Chairperson Gabel read the Administrative Staff Report: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT A. PUBLIC Pt1RPOSE SERVED SY REQUIREMFNT: Section 214.11.2B limits a free-standing sign to a maximum size of 80 square feet in area per development. Section 214.11.2C limits a free-standing sign to a maximum height of 25 feet above the finished ground grade. Section 214.05.5A limits an informational sign to a maximum size of 4 square feet in area. Public purpose served by these requirements is to control visual pollution and excessive use of signs in commercial areas. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "The signage is for a new 200,000 square foot shopping center mall, restaurant, 100 room motel, banquet facilities, and office buildinq. . This complex needs more than the allowable 80 square feet of signage and would be grandfaLhered in by redesigning the existing signage. 7his reqaest would decrease the existing signage and improve what is ther.e now." C. AUMINISTRATIVE STAFF REYIEW: Presently there is one pylon sign, constructed in August 1965, for the Skywood Shopping Center. It is approximate7y 28 feet high and 279 square feet in area. In December 1972, a variance to allow the existing 279 square feet was granted. In April 1973, an additional variance request to allow 312 square feet was denied by the City Counci]. 7W APPEALS COr�ISS10N MFETING, JA��UARY 15, 1985 PA�E 3 The present proposal calls for three free-standing signs, one on each of the three street frontages in the following manner: Si n�1 (Central Avenue) 361 square feet and 50 ft. 5 in. high; Sign �2 �52nd Avenue) 80 square feet and 18 ft. 7 in, hiqh; Sign �3 (53rd Avenue) 80 square feet and 22 fL. 5 in. high. The total square footage of the three pylon signs is 521 square feet, Code allows for one free standing sign per street frontage with the total square footage of not more than 80 square feet per development. Therefore, Variance �l is for total square foot area from 80 square feet to 521 square feet. Variance �2 is for the height of the Central Avenue pylon from 25 feet to 50 feet. Variance �3 involved the proposed informational sign (Sign �4) and is for area from 4 square feet to 38 square feet. Two adjacent businesses both have sign variances for their free-standing signs. the Ground Round to allow 120 square feet of area and Twin City Federal to ailow 171 square feet of area and 28 ft. 3 in . of total height. Other signs in the general area are Menards which allows 180 square feet and 36 ft. high (variance granted in 1974), Great American Music which allows 166 square feet and 43 feet high (variance granted in 1972 to 212 square feet), and Embers to allow 370 square feet (no variance). Staff makes the follc:�ing recomrnendations: Sign �1 should be moved to the northwest into the green area with a shrub bed at the base. Sign �Z should have landscaping at the base. Sign �3 should be incorporated into the green space and have landscaping at the base. Sign �4 should incorporate a directional arrow and be 10 feet from the driveway. Mr, Clark gave the Com�issioners a plot plan of the entire development showing where the various signs would be located. He stated the sign variance for the Ground Round was granted in October 1973, the sign variance for Twin Citv Federal was granted in the spring of 1971, and the sign variance for Great American M��sic was granted in June 1972. A permit for the Embers' sign was issued in 1959, and he believed that was prior to any sign ordinance in the City of �Fridley. Mr. Clark stated the Target signage. which includes their free-standinq sign in the parking lot facing north and south, is 36 ft. high, has a 72 sq. ft. Northwest Fabrics loqo, along with the Target logo of 144 sq. ft. Citgo was recently granted a sign variance to increase total square footage to 264 sn. ft. Mr. Clark stated he called Columbia Heights to esk them to gtve him a record of the sign square footages along Centrai Ave., but he has not yet received that information. 7X APPEALS COtfitISSION MEETING, JANUARY 15, 1985 PAGE 4 Mr. Clark stated it was his understanding that basically all the wall signage will be coming down with the exception of the Lee Wards sign. As he understood it, Lee Wards is going to be redesigning but will probably still have a wall sign. In the sign proposal before the Commission at this meeting, there are going to be two new wail signs rather moderate in size-- one over the entrance to the Sl�ywood Inn and one over the restaurant entrance. Ms. Gabel asked if the petitioner was in the audience. Ms. Nicole Nee stated she was at the meeting on behalf of the Skywood Mall partnership. Also present at the meeting was the sign manufacturer, Mac McCline; a representative of the partnership, Darwin DeRosieu; and Kurt Hart, manager of the hotel/motel complex. Ms. Nee stated they were proposing four basic things: (1) 7o remove a11 Lhe current signs; (2) to replace those,signs with uniform and upgraded signage; (3) to reduce total square footage of what is existing by one-half to two-thirds; and (4) to attract the freeway traffic from 694. Ms. Nee stated the Skywood Ma11 development is about two blocks away from Lhe freeway. and they believe they need to attract the traffic goinq by on 694 or this development is not going to prosper. The Skywood development is a huge development. There is a$1 million comnercial revenue bond plus �1.8 million partnership investment. The whole development will be 200-225�000 sq. ft. in area by the time it is completed. The shopping center itself has been ex�anded by about 10,000 sq. ft. There is a 100-room motel that has just opened. 7he office building is about 20.�00 sq. ft. The restaurant will seat about 160 people, and the banquet facilities are for about 470 people. Ms. Nee stated they feel it is very important to attract the traffic going by on 694. People driving down Central Ave. are not necessarily looking for a motel. There is so much clutter in the area, and they are very much afraid that two blocks away the deve]opment will not be seen. She stated she had some photographs taken from the freeway to show the Commissioners what it looked like when drivinq by on the freeaay. She stated it was even difficult io spot where the current Skywood Mall sign is from the freeway. They believe they have to have some kind of height variance. Their sign people have calculated that, in comparison to all the other signs that currently exist in the area, the height is going to have to be about 50 ft. high in order to be seen from the freeway. Ms. Nee stated they are requesting variances for the foliowinq siqns: Sign #1 will be the largest free-standing sign. It will read "Skvwood Inn" at the top, underneath that will be the "8est Western"logo and underneath that it will say "Restaurant". The square footage for this sign would be 361 sq. ft. and would be 50 ft. 5 in. high. They believe this square footage would be enough to make the sign visible when compared to the Ground Round and Great American Music signs. 7Y APPEALS COttMISSION MEETING, JANt1ARY 15, i985 �'' PAGE 5 Sign �2 was a free-standing sign which will be on 52nd Ave. It will be i8 ft. 7 in. high and 80 sq. ft. It will say "Skywoad Inn". ihe intention of this sign is to show where to turn to get to the Inn. Sign #�3 was a free-standing sign which will be on 53rd Ave. It will be 22 ft. 5 in, high and 80 sq. f*.. This siqn will say "Skywood Mall". This sign will direct traffic to the combination Skywood Mall/Menards parking lots and office building which is behind the mall. Sign �4 was a directionai sign. It wili say "Skywood Inn Entrance". It w1i1 �� 38 sq, ft. and 13 ft, high. ' Sign �Y5 was a wall sign. It was 9.63 sq. ft. It will say "Skvwood Inn Office" and it will be put up above the overhang. Sign #6 was a wail sign, 50 sq. ft. It will say "Minnesota Ho�rse Restaurant". Mr. McCline stated that in keepinq with the applications used for the facilities, these wall signs would be routed wood signs and would be painted. The main sign and the two smal]er signs are internally illuminated displays. They will be painted on fiexible faced material. It is the iatest material that has been developed and used by the sign industry, permitting them to secure the material on all four sides so it cannot be blown out by the wind or torn or broken by vandalism. It was a very durable material. All three of the pylon sions will have the same cotors, same painting, and same materials. Ms. Nee stated the total existing sign area is 1,651 sq. ft. This does not tnclude the Lee Wards sign which will remain in place. The total signage they are propos{ng to reptace it with is 6i8.63 sq. ft. (excl�ding Lee Wards). The signage will be uniform. It will look like a total plan, not a hodge podge of various colors and various types of signs. Ms. Gabel questioned the�need for the size and the heiqht of the motel siqn. Once the people have gone that far, people will not miss that sign. Ms. Nee stated their theory was that as a person looks toward the parking lot of the shopping mall with a11 the parked cars, iights. colors, etc., it becomes confusing and a small sign might get lost. Mr. McCljne stated the height and size was basically deterr�ined by the traffic cor�i ng off 53rd. Ms. Gabel asked if there were any comments from the audfence. Ms. Judy Engebretson, 5216 Taylor St. N.E., stated she lived directl,y above the motel. She stated that before making any personal comnents, she would like to read a letter dated Jan, i4, 1985, from several residents of the neighborhood who could not attend the meeting. The letter stated: �z APPEALS C0�IMISSION MEETING, JA��UARY 15, 1985 `� � PAGE 6 "The variance as it relates to any pylon sign placed on Central Avenue or 52nd Avenue larger than that provided for in Chapter 214 of the Fridlev City Code would be totally unacceptable. In fact, it fs preferred that if a si�n ia necessary on 52nd Avenue that it be as small and inconspicuous as possible so as not to further obstruct the view of the residents and further commerciali�e the residential area." 1NOTIpN BY J�lR. BARNA� SECONDED BY 1KR. BETZOI.II, TO RECEIVE TXE LETTER DATEA JAN. 14, 1985. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERS0IJ GABEL DECLARED THE 1NOTZON CARRIED IJNANIPlOUSLY. Ms. Engebretson stated she did not deny that the motel needed signs. She was not in agreement that a 50 ft. high sign was necessary. She had taken soMe pictures of the view from her dining room and these pictures also represented some of the views from other homes above the Skywood Mall and motel. Since the motel has gone up, they have lost more and more of their air space and visibiiity. They purchased their p*operty because they could see the city lights, and a lot of their property value relies on the view. Since the motel has been constructed, they have lost quite a bit. If a siqn is put on 52nd Ave., it will be blockin� the only view they have left. Ms. Enqebretson stated she could understand why a 50 ft. high sign was wanted for visibility from the freeway. but there was already a billboard located by Menards. A suggestion might be to rent space on that billboard to attract business to the motel. Ms. Engebretson stated they were also afraid that the sign on 52nd Ave.was going to commercialize and draw more traffic into that corner than there already is with all the businesses that are in that area. She wondered if that sign served a large enough purpose that the residents are being asked to give up more of their view. If the motel needs an entrance sign, she could see a small sign indicating the entrance, but she was also afraid it would draw a lot of people who have missed the turn into the motel up onto Tayior and the residential streeLs. Ms. Engebretson stated that, as stated in Ms. Nee's presentation� this was an �8.8 million investment. As homeowners, the� do not have million dollar invest- ments, 6ut they do have investments ranging fro� �90-150,000. These are their hor�es they are trying to protect and maintain their value. They were upset when the expansion of the motel took place, but they were told they had to accept it because it was within code and zoninq. So, if the Appeals Cortmission grants these sign variances, they, as property owners, must have the feelinq that the City feels its corrmercial people are much more important than its residential people. 7 AA APPEALS CONMISSION MEETING, .IANUARY 15, 1985 � PAGE 7 Mr. Steve Kantorowicz, 5200 Taylor St. N.E., stated he was a truck driver and drives 694 two and three times a day. He stated there was no way that people traveling east on 694 were going to see a sign (even if ft was 250 ft. high) and have time to be able to exit and get to the motel. Peo�le travel- tng west would not be able to see it at all. He stated there was another motel on Lexington and 694. There was a billboard siqn on the freeway long before you get to the motel, so people are prepared for the exit. He does a lot cf traveling, and that is the only way to find a motel. Mr: Kantorowicz stated Central Avenue was already "sign a11ey" from 52nd to 53rd Ave. He bought his house 17-18 years ago because he liked the view, and now he has nothing. If three more signs are put up, he will have even less. He sincerely hoped the Appeals Commission would decide to say "no" to these variances. Mr. Donald C. Delich, 5284 Taylar St. N.E., stated he was � little away from the congestion or possible noise, or excess lighting or whatever. The thin4 that concerned him the most was when they make laws and theoretically make them for the betterment of the people and then start amending and changing the laws fo suit personal and private means. When people buy and own property. they have to consider what is in existence at the time, what the laws are, and assur.�e they are going to live within those restrictions. The City has to govern for the good of all as much as it can. He was sure the Appeals Comnission mer�bers had good judgment and he trusted their judqment would be for the good of all. Ms. Jo Jaroslawski, 5201 Taylor St. N.E. stated she lived vn the top of the hill where 52nd intersects with Taylor St. She stated she did not receive a letter telling her about these variances or the siqns. She felt the best entrance for people going to the motel was on 53rd. Ave. because there are already semi-fores and it is already a high traffic area.. She stated the signal to turn east off Central Ave, onto 52nd was already a long signal, and she did not see how more than 6-1 cars could wait in the left hand turn lane to turn left. Most people taking 52nd Ave. are either going to Twin City Federal or up 52nd Ave. to get to the neighborhood streets. It will cause a traffic tie- up on 52nd Ave. if people are usinq 52nd as an entrance to the motel. If people miss the entrance into the motel, people will be coming up and making U-turns in her driveway in order to turn around. This extra traffic could cause a safety hazard to the children in the neighborhood. Mr. Clark stated it was very difficult for traffic coming south off 694 to shift lanes in such a short distance in order to go east on 53rd Ave. Qne of the reasons 52nd was signalized was to give the traffic another place to make a left turn. He stated some sort bf directional sign at the entrance driveway might help keep some of the commercial traffic from qoinq up into the residential neighborhood. Mr. Kantorowicz stated he was also concerned about the number of small children from the apartments across from the moie] on 52nd Ave. who play in the street because there are no sidewalks or play areas. AlO�'ION BY lJS. GEI�U� SEGIONDED BY J�2. AETZOLD, �O CLOSE THE PUBLIC X�AP.ZNG. f.�. UPON A VDICE Vt�TE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC BBARING CLOSED AT 8:35 P.X. 1 BB APPEALS C0�44ISSION NIEETING, JANUARY 15, 1985 � PAGE 8 Ms. Gerou stated it was her opinion that this was an excessive amount of siqnage and maybe Sign #2 could have the arrow on it and eliminate Siqn �Y4. She did not feel Sign �1 needed to be 50 ft, high. because it will not be seen fron the freeway. and it would serve no purpose io have ii that hiqh. Mr. Plemel stated it seemed unrealistic to him to limit the three pylon signs to a total of 80 sG. ft., but to allow them to qo to 521 sq. ft. seemed unrealistic also. He realized the motel and shopping mall needed the visi- biiity so he could understand the need for Sign #��, and he did not think 50 ft. was too high. However, he would like to see the square footage cut back on the other two signs. Mr. Betzold stated he agreed with the comment made by Mr. Plemel that it might not be appropriate to limit this type of a development to 80 sq. ft. and three pylons. Ne did think there was a desire for visibility.on each of the three street frontages. but he thought the proposal was go�ng a little 6it too far. He did not accept the argument that it was necessary to have a sign that is visible from 694. The Cortmission has had similar arguments that have been made, and they have rejected those type of arguments uniformly in the past, because the Commission members beliEVe, as Mr. Kantorowicz mentioned, that it does not serve any purpose for people to be lookinq at things wh�n they are supposed to be paying attention to driving. Safety has to come first. He welcomed the new motel, but he did not think they had conditioned the motel upon a sign. Mr. Betzold stated the hardsfiip stated that "this comolex needs more than the allowable 80 sq. ft. of signage and would be grandfathered in by redesign- ing the existinq signage . The Commission has rejected that argument in the past also. He appreciated the concerns of the people in the neighborhood; and, aithough it was a concern of theirs that this was turning into a comner- cial area, the fact was that 20 years ago, this was all undeveloped area and a lot of people bought property which has developed around them. These things happen, and the Comnission cannot prevent the businesses from doinq the thinqs they need to do to develop their business opportunities, but he would reject the proposal as presented because it was just a little too much signage. Mr. Barna stated he basically agreed. He could not see limiting an area as diverse as this to just 80 sq. ft., but he could not see 521 sq. ft. either. The Cor.�mission has deLated quite extensively to other developers about the hazard of people trying to read signs 1/2-2 blocks off 694, because tha� is how people get kiiied. The Commission would rather peop]e saw a billboard 1-2 miles ahead that tells people to exit at a certain street, and then have a sign that is large enough and high enough to be seen as they come down the exit rar�p. He would personally like to see the height of Sign #�1 droaped from 50 ft. to 40 ft. He would like to see Signs �i2 and �3 reduced from 80 sq. ft. to 60 sq. ft. or less. He had no objection to Lhe height of Signs #2 and �3. All he saw necessary for Sign �4, the directtonal sign, was the word "entrance". He would like to see an entrance or an arrow sign on Sign �2 instead. 7 CC APPEALS COt�iMISSION MEETIN6,�JANUARY 15, 1985 PAGE 9 Mr. Betzold stated he felt it was the sense of the Commission that theY would iike to see a �roposal that was a little more reasonable. If the petitioner was willing to consider coming back with something smalier, he would be willing to make a motion to table this item. Otherwise. he would make a motion to deny the variances. Ms. Gabe1 stated she was not so concerned about the height of Sign �►1. She seriously doubted that the height was going to be an advantage from the free- way. other than if there was an earlier sign alerting people thaL the motel was ahead. She felt Sign �M4 coutd be a norMal sized directional sign and agreed with Mr. Barna that perhaps there should be an arrow on Sign NZ. and that those signs could be smaller. She was not concerned about the height af those signs. Mr. McCline stated the motel has already opened and they are not complete without signage._ He would request that the Comnission proceed with Item #3 on their aqenda and aitow the petitioner to have a short meeting, possibly cor�ing back with a different proposal later in the meeting. The Cormissioners were in agreement to this request. MO:^IOP7 BY NR. BET20LD, SECONDED BY !�'. PLENEL, TO T�AB�� TNIS I:"EJN AND JKOVE TD ITEl1 N3, SUBJECT TO RECALLING TNE ITEP!

Ms. Nee stated that after some negotiation. they have come up with the following proposai: Sign !�1 - They would like Sign #�1 to remain at the same square footage and same height as originaily proposed. Sign #2 on 52nd reads "Skywood Inn". They would reduce it in sauare footage from 80 sq. ft. to 48 sq. ft. and lower the height from 18 ft. 7 in. to 8._ ft. i 7 EE APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 15, 1985 PAGE 13 Sign �3 on 53rd Ave. reads uSkywood Mall". They would reduce it in square footage from 80 sq. ft, to 60 s,g ft. and leave it at 22 ft. 5 in. in height. Sign �4 was the directional sign within the property. They would take off the "Skywood Inn" logo and just have it read "entrance". That would reduce the sign from 38 sq, ft, to 16 sq_ ft.. The sign would be 10 ft, high. Ms. Nee stated Mr. DeRosieu has indicated they do want to try to get billboards. They are going to make an application to the State`of Minnesota for the symbols that indicate "motel/food/lodging ahead". Ms. Nee stated they do think the sign on 52nd is important to keep people out of the neighborhood. Mr. McCline stated the neighbors who live above the motel had just r.iade a request and he agreed with it that the sign on 52nd wouid be basically a single face sign so the people coming off the highway would see it, but the backside of the siqn would be blank. The neighbors would not have to look into a liqhted sign as it would be illuminated on only one side. The Commissioners agreed that was a very good idea. Ms. Engebretson asked if this was the total signage for the whole complex or just for the motel. Construction has not started on the mall and are Lhey, the nei9hbors, going to have to come in again when more signage is proposed for the mall? Ms. GaGel stated that as she understood it, these will be the only free- standing signs in the complex. It has been stated that there will be some wall signage for Lee Wards. The people within the complex are entitled Lo sor�e wall signage depending on the agreement with the landlord. As she under- stood it, the wall signage wiil be very minimai. Mr. McCline stated these are the only free-standing signs for the whole complex. The existing signage in the mall will come down and, depending on the tenants' leases, additional wa11 siqnage will be strip-type siqnaqe, uniform color and size, basically on an opaque background, with just the names of the individual tenants in the mall. Mr. 6etzold stated he thought this new proposal was far more consistent with what he thought was within the spirit of the code, and it sounded like it might be a littie bit more palatable to the neiqhbcrs in the area. He could go along with it with the stipulations suggested by Staff, as well as the stipulation requested by the neighbors that the sign on 52nd face away from the complex and not be backlit. 7 FF APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 15,�1985 "'"" �� PAGE 14 Mr. Barna stated he appreciated the reduction and the large change on Sign �2. It was still a little more signage on Sign �l than he would like to see, but he could see where there was a definite hardship, so he would go along with the changes and stipulations. Ms. Gerou stated she appreciated the changes the petitioners have made. She still felt Sign #�1 was excessive, and she was not in favor of qranting the variances. Mr. Plemel stated he thought the petitioners have made a definite effort to comproMise and he would be in favor of granting the variances. Ms. Gabel stated she was not happy with the size of Sign �I1� but she did think there was a hardship and that the petitioners did compromise with the Commission. They have demonstrated their desire to work this out, both with the Appeals Comnission and with the neighbors. She wou]d vote in favor of the variances with the stipulastions as stated. Mr. Clark stated he thought it would be beneficial for the petitioners to submit to the City Council a sign plan for the wall signage they may be puttinq on the wall of the mali. J�lOTION 9Y MR.

Reference: Your letter dated January 3, 1985 In view of the fact that several of the residents affected by the variance requested in the above referenced letter will be unable to attend the Public Hearing on January 15, 1985, this shall serve to document, for the record, the position of the undersigned regarding the requested variance. The variance as relates to any pylon sign placed on Central Avenue or 52nd Avenue larger that that provided for in Chapter 214 of the Fridley City Code would be totally unacceptable. In fact, it is preferred that if a sign is necessary on 52nd Avenue that it be as small and inconspicuous as possible so as not to further obstruct the view of the residents and further commercialize the residential area. Please insure that the Appeals Commission is made aware of this correspondence during the hearing of January 15, 1985. Respectfully, T. J. McCauley 5234 Taylor St. N.

TREUENFEIS, SECONDED BY 1NS. NENDLEY� TO APPROVE THE SEPT. 17, 1984, �...�. CHARTER COMMISSION 1NINUTES AS WRITTEN. UPON A Vt�ICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSGW STARWALT DECLARED TiIE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. CONSIDERATION OF ADOPTION OF REVISED CITY CHARTER: Mr. Hunt stated the Charter Cortmission members now had a copy of the revised City Charter which incorporated all the changes made by the Charter Comnission and City Council to this point. There were also some typographical changes, sexist language, etc., which were considered non-substantive. At the Sept. meeting, the Charter Commission received the document, and it was now on the agenda for the Charter Commission.to adopt the revised City Charter. Mr. Nelson stated he was not in favor of adopting the ravised City Charter at this time. He would suggest the Corrmission members examine the aspect of sexist language. The reason for his suggestion was that he did not like the terms, "his/her", "he/she", "person", etc., being repeated throughout the text. The Charter is talking about the actions of an individual holding an office, and he would like to see the sexist language eliminated and just simply make it neutral ground by referring to the office. Mr, Nelson made the following example for Section 2.03, paragraph 5, indicating suggested changes: "The Councilmember elected from a ward must be a resident of such ward and j1j�/�5�� ceasing to be a resident thereof shall cause a vacancy in the office of Councilmember from such ward; pravided that a change in ward boundaries during M,i�/�S¢� the term of office shall not cause disqualification a��d�lif� Nid�/K��` from serv ng out the term." - . , CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 19, 1984 PAGE 2 Mr. Treuenfels stated he thought Mr. Nelson had brought up an interesting point. Mr. Nelson stated he would like to compliment Ms. Kay Tischler Erickson, the Legal Intern, for the fine work she has done on the City Charter revision, but he just �ad some personal feelings about the sexist language. Ms. Hendley stated she supported Mr. Nelson's feelings on this. In reading through the document, it sounded so strange to keep reading "he/she" and "his/her". She thought it would be much nicer to have the text refer to a person, member or the office. Mr. Nunt stated that since the Charter Comnission has already received the document, they can use the document as it is until it is in the shape where the Charter Commission wants to adopt it. If it was the concensus of the Corronission that they want to avoid this type of language, Ms. Erickson could go through the document and try to eliminate ai1 the "his/her", "he/she", and "him/her". � Mr. Nelson stated he had already gone through the document and had made suggested changes. He would certainiy be happy to submit his recomnended changes to Ms, Erickson. Mr. Hunt stated he would have Ms. Erickson go through the document and edit it using Mr. Nelson's suggested changes. Wf�en she had a change different from Mr. Nelson's, she could explain why she had done it differently. Mr, van Dan stated he would like a copy of Mr. Nelson's recomnended changes to review, MOTION BY MR. VAN DAN, SECONDED BY MR. NELSON, TO CQMMEND KAY TISCXLER ERICKSON FOR THE FINE WORK SHE XAS DONE ON TXE REVISED CITY CHARTER. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSAN STARWALT DECLARED THE MOTZON CARRZED UNANIMDUSLY. 2. CONSIDERATION OF LANGUAGE IN THE FRIDLEY CITY CHARTER RELATING TO VARIOUS Mr. Nelson stated that in Section 1.04 of the revised Ctty Charter, Ms. Erickson had added the three terms (eligible voter. registered voter, and voter) the Comnission had agreed on for working purposes. At the last meeting, the Cortmissioners had some reservations about the definitions, and Mr. Hunt had stated he cou]d ask Ms. Erickson to go through the entire Charter and suggest where these terms could be inserted. Mr, van Dan stated that in a discussion with Mr. Hunt during �he surtmer, he had referred to the fact that they have a state statute which gives them a definition. Why not adopt the statute by weference? . � CHARTER COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 19, 1984 PAGE 3 Mr. van Dan stated if they follow the state statute, they do not have to coeY it just by 'reference but they could use the same terminology in the statute; then if the statute should be changed, obviated, or eliminated in any way, they have already in their Charter what the definition means. Mr. Starwalt stated he still liked the term "elector': He felt the term "voter" was used rather sloppily, and he thought there was some merit to defining it more clearly in the Charter. Mr. Pierce stated he might agree with Mr. Starwalt to a slight extent, but he thought the word "elector" in general terms of people reading it was more vague, and what realiy was an elector? He thought that, in general, most people know who a"voter" is. He felt there was a risk of lack of clarity with the term "elector". Mr. van Dan stated the reason he would get away frnm the term "e7ector" was because they live in a representative democracy, and when you are an elector, you are electing from among two or several persons. When you are voting for any representative, you are really stating your personal preference for persons, for issues, and you vote. You really do not elect. The election happens after the votes are cast. When a pattern of plurality is established� then you may have become an elector. In the Gity of Fridley, many times they vote about ordinances, taxes, proposals, etc., not people, so they really do not elect. They vote for or vote against. They vote more often than they elect so really a voter as an active participant in a constituency is a more descriptive� more representative categorization than elector. Mr. Starwalt stated that regarding the definition of "registered voter", he would be more comfortable if the definition was changed from "a person who has registered and is eligible to vote" to "an eligible voter who is currently registered in the City of Fridle�'. The Commissioners agreed with that change of the definition of "registered voter". The Commissioners discussed and agreed to change the definition of "voter" from "a person who is eligible, currently registered, and bas voted within the last four years" to "a registered voter who has voted in the City of �ridley within the last four years : The Corrxnissioners agreed to review the City Charter revision page by page in which Ms. Erickson had incorporated the terms, "eligible voter� "registered voter", and "voter".

Such petition shall be signed by at least ten (10) re istered voters qualified to vote for the office in question; and no one s a s�gn pet�t�ons for more candidates than the number of offices% b�Ted at the election.

RECEIVE OPERATION UPDATE FROM STORER: Mr. Wegemer stated that, as requested at the last Commission meeting, he was submitting to the Commission the semi-annual update of Storer's 1984 business plan. He stated they have made the following progress in the system upgrade: (1) They have converted to a centralized dispatching system to assist in minimizing the response time for service calls and work orders; (2) They have expanded their office hours to 7 p.m. Monday - Thursday in order to decrease the number of calls going to their answerinq service; (3) The back- up power system for their headend was up and operating. Mr. Wegemer stated they have added two channels: WCCO II (carrying Financial News Network and WCCO programning) and Infovision (an "info-mercial" channel). WCCO Weather has replaced the former Radar Weather Channel, and AP News was deleted from the Leased Access chanr.el on Dec. 14 due to the expsration of AP News' contract. Mr. Wegemer stated that in June they launched FM service as another option for Fridley subscribers. K-TwIN Cable Stereo was also added to the FM service. Mr. Wegemer stated he had a letter dated Jan. 17, 1985, updating the Comnission on some cable service progrartming changes which may materialize in the sarinq. CAN ADYISORY COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY l7, 1985 PAGE 2 They were recently notified by Nickelodeon and ARTS that they will be moving to separate satellite transponders on April 1. Since t6ere are no empty channels available, they may have to drop a channel. They conducted a local survey and found the Learning Channel to be amonQ the least reviewed channels, yet it is more costly for the subscribers than most of the other satellite networks. They plan to delete the Learning Channel on March 1. Mr. Wegemer stated that also on March 1, they plan to move Infovision from Channel 15 to Channel 34 as part of this change. In the event someone simply wants to lease a few hours and the Nickelodeon/ARTS split forces a separate channel, their contingency plan is to put sporadic use of leased access on Channel 6(pre-empting the Program Guide) and free up Channei 15 for either Nickelodeon or ARTS. Mr. Moravetz stated he would like to have a copy and the results of the survey Storer conducted for the Cormfssion's records. MOTION BY MP.. PETERSON� SECONDED BY MR. WEAVER, TO RECEIVE THE SEMI-ANNUAL OPERATION UPDATED FROM STOP.ER DATED JAN. I7� 1985. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CXAIRPERSON XUGNES DECLARED TXE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. a. WCCO II Mr. Wegemer stated the WCCO programming financial news network during the day. originated programming where they repeat etc. There are K-TWIN videos at night, it is the character generator. b. Infovision involved the body of the Wrapped around that is WCCO the news, videos, real estate, and then from midnight to 5 a.m., 9a Mr. Wegemer stated that, as requested at the last meeting, Mr. Peter Bradley from Infovision was at the meeting to explain Infovision. Mr. Bradley thanked the members of the Comnission for inviting him to the Commission meeting and giving him the opportunity to talk about Infovision. Mr. Bradley stated he was employed by Channel 2(Public Television) for the.last seven years before he decided to go into the private sector. One area he spent a lot of time studying at Channel 2 was cable television and the opportunities for new kinds of services on cable, other than entertainment services. He stated Infovision is a kind of consumer information channel that presents extended pieces (5-10 min.) about products and services--everything from hospital care to recreation to fashion-- sponsored by local businesses. The reasons for why they think this is a timely kind of use for cable was explained in a brief 6-7 minute video presentation he would like to show the Comnission. • � CA7V ADVISORY COMt4ISSI0W MEETING, JANUARY 17, 1985 PAGE 3 Mr. Bradley stated Infovision was a very small company made up of a marketing director and himself. There were three owners of the company--two partners and himself. They are now on six svstems-- Fridiey, St. Louis Park, 8loomington and Northwest Hennepin, and Rogers Minneapolis and Rogers Southwest. Ne had an informational bro- chure he would leave for the Comnission's file. They hope to expand to St. Paul in April and Group W Systems, north of St. Paul, They are a 1oca1 company servicing local subscribers to cable and local businesses� that have comp]ex information they want to present to subscribers. Since they are now in an information age and moving toward a service economy, there are many businesses and services that simply cannot effectively describe their business or service in a 30 second TV spot. Mr. Bradley stated that if things go well, and they are very optimistic about it after only one month, they will explore other markets, but it wi11 always be with a local focus, because they think there is so much imported information on cable generally that one thing viewers want and do not get is informafiion about local services and businesses. Mr. Moravetz stated the ordinance mandates company policy on leased access, and now that Storer does have a leased service, the Commission should receive a copy of Storer's policy. Ms. Nughes thanked Mr. Bradley for coming to the meeting and for his . presentation. c. Other Updates including uneven sound on system Mr. Kaspszak stated that about a month ago when he was switching between the football game, the City Council meeting, and several other channels, he had to adjust the sound for each channel. The sound was really bad, and this happens every once in awhile. Mr. Weaver stated the audio on Channel 2 is traditionally low, and it has been that way for a long time. Mr. Hanson stated he had no control on the audio level for Channels 2, 4, 5, 9, 11, 17, and 41. He cannot control off-air channels. He is limited to certain channels. What he has been doing is setting up a scope and going through his tests. He uses one channel off-air and tries to compare it to the rest of the channels. However, he can do it one day, and the next day the audio can drift because of the satellite. All he can do is go through the tests on a daily basis. He can more easily control the library channel, public access channel, etc. Mr. Kaspszak asked what kind of response Mr. Wegemer got for their soticitation for channel selectars. _ Mr. Wegemer stated it was almost perfect as far as their planning pur- poses were concerned. Mr. Peterson stated he wanted to discuss pre-empting of cable channels with local advertisements. He stated USA does it all the time. How was CATV ADVISORY COMMISSIO�� MEETING, JAWUARY 17, 1985 PAGE 4 2. 3. this done and was Storer getting a fee for it? Mr. Wegemer stated that was on selected channels such as USA and MTV. WCCO is selling ad time for them. USA makes available to the cable operator a certain number of ads a week that they could sell if the,y had their own sales force. Since they are not out to start up their own department, WCCO se11s ad time for them, and Storer shares in a proportion of the advertising revenues. Mr. Kaspszak asked if that revenue was reported to the Conunission. Mr. Wegemer stated it was; it was recorded in the franchise fee lumped under premium fees. Mr. Kaspszak stated he wouid like Mr. Wegemer to break the advertising revenues out as a separate item in the next franchise fee.

Mr. Moravetz stated the ACCW has cordial�y extended an invitation to the Commission members to come to an open house on Sat., Feb. 9. Mr. Kaspszak stated that, judging by the balance as of Dec. 31, 1984, of the ACCW, he wondered if it would be appropriate to suggest that in addition to a P& L statement, that the ACCW start submitting a balance sheet listing assets and liabilities. The only reason he had brought this up was because he saw the cash balance rising. He certainly did not want the ACCW to incur any additional expense by having to do this. Mr. Moravetz stated he did not think the ACCW would have a problem with submitting a balance sheet. Mr. Weaver agreed with Mr. Kaspszak. He stated it wouldn't hurt to have that kind of information.

He checked the totals and everything was in order except for a nominal 30Q error. The franchise fee amount was $13.588.59, and Storer had issued a check in the amount of $13,588.89. Mr. Moravetz stated that in conjunction with this report, he had requested earlier in the meeting a leased access policy from Storer. The Comnission might want to consider a motion to request a written leased access policy for the next meeting. Perhaps now with leased revenues coming, that should be broken down as another category. He would suggest that both "Leased" and "Advertising" be added columns in the franchise fee report. MOTION BY MR.

Mr. Kaspszak stated he was concerned from reading one of the minutes that there was some lack of enthusiasm in getting cable TV into the school system. He stated that if there was no objection by the Commission members, he, acting as a concerned citizen, would pass this information on to the School Board members. The Commission members had no objection. Mr. Weaver sugqested Mr. Kaspszak talk to Dr. Rens first before going to the School Board. Mr. Kaspszak stated that referring to the Dec.,5, 1984, Fridle,y Cable Consortium minutes, he got the impression that Storer had abandoned thc� programming that existed some time back where periodically there was a 5-10 minute news show of the happenings in Fridley. Mr. Wegemer stated there has been some staff changes. He did not know if that programming had been temporarily suspended or not. He stated he would discuss it with John Samaia. Mr. Kaspszak stated he felt it was a dutv and an obligation of this Commission to encourage that type of programming. c. Verba] Update on Regional InterconnQCt Mr. Weaver stated he had a pro forma resolution put out by the Cable Comnunications Board that calls for the support of a Regional Channel Advisory Committee, and it was endorsed by the various cable service territories. They are asking for comments to the legislative repre- sentatives and delegation in support of this Regional Channei Activation Plan. They will be lobbying the legislature once they have this sunport for $200,000 a year estimated budget. He wouid strongly suggest each Commissioner give this some consideration between now and the next meeting; and at that time, he would iike to have the Comnission's response on it. Mr. Weaver stated the final meeting of the Regionai Channel Advisory Committee would be Tuesday, Jan. 22, at 1:00 p.m, in the League of Cities Building. Everyone was encouraged to attend. Mr. Moravetz stated he would make copies of this resolution for the Commission members. 9F CATV ADVIS�RY COMMISSIO�� MEETING, JANUARY 17, 1985 � PAGE 7 6.

FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55432 • PHONE (612) 571-3150 Sandra Garc3ebring, Q�air Metropolitan Co�aicil 300 Metro Square Building 7th and Robert Streets St. Paul, i�II�T 55101 S�bject: Cortm�ents on Solid Waste Management Development Guide/Policy Plan The City of Fridley fully supports the Metropolitan Council for the development of a comprehensive Solid Waste Management Development Guide/Policy Plan and the goals for which it is designed to achieve However. after oonsiderable review, we feel that it is necessa ry to comment aai the follawing itens: a� v• • We agree wfth your stateqnent on page 31 that "accomplishing the regional strategy depends on a high level of public umderstanding and participation." In order for a well designed progran to be effective the public must be aware of the i�ortance of landfill abatenent. Zilerefore. an early and extensive coordinated regional effort of public education is necessa ry to bring about the desired successful solutions to our waste management problems. In ac�dition, this process must also include an in depth industry educational progra�n- as they too are an intergral p�rt of the waste stream. Accordingly an aggressive ec7ucational prograan must be inititated to the metropolitan public and all manufacturers and industry before a landfill abatenent prograQn can be considered for implenentation. y��: � �; �_�'i A1so on page 31 a discussion is raised about the importance of developing markets for recyclables. This presupposes the technological encouragement and advancenent of the production of products and packaging that can�be recycled. �he efforts of the individual to reduoe waste may be hampered by the nonrecyclable and nonbiodegradable packaging of products naa available. i.e. plastic containers. Encouraging industry to explore and invest in recyclable materials should be the first step in creating a well-rounded waste reduction systen. ��• • R Neither individuals or industry will strongly o�nsider recycling, oom�osting, etc. without sane sort of econcmic incentives. If it oosts the oonsumer the same amamt for collection of half a can of garbage as a full can, there is no incentive to recycle. In addition the proposal to organize exclusive regional collection areas will lead to creating hauler monopolies and elimination of the Free Market trade which is not to the advantage of the o�ns�ner or to local �its of government. It also places the Metropolitan Co�cil in the position of price and quality oontrol of the hauler which we do not feel is your responsibility. Also if industry will use those materials which are most oost effective, accordingly, there must be a cost incentive for industry to use recyclable materials. I.DGISGATZON Inherent in the plan must be the irrvolvet�er►t and supp�rt of the leg islature to initiate a process of penalties and rebates for industry to invest in recyclable materials and obtain p�lic participation in tlze progran. ,� �.1:1 4M �e mta►icipal role in this plan is hampered by time and type of programs suggested. In order to obtain the goals set forth by this plan, local units of goven�nent must be provided flexibility for its impleznentation. The t.imeline that has be� proposed is too rigid and may be �mattainable. As for mandatory �ource'separation, this should be oonsidered as a last resort. to be implener�ted only if voluntary efforts fail to accomplish satisfactory goals. RecoRanP�d the Solid Waste Managenent Develognent Guide/Policy Plan emphasize the i�►IInediate initiation of public and private education and techriological changes necessary for reducing the landfill quantity stream- In ooncert with this is the reguirenent to provide for those legislative and econaaic changes to facilitate oost effective recycling and enhancement of the competitive market. Recocrunend also that whatever proposals are made, they provide the flexibility for concept satisfaction and necessary funding and police actions to accanplish the plan.
