He stated he has oatar►unicated with the Departmerit o� Transportation regarding these �xoblens.

He suggested an article in the Fridley Focus would be help�ul to inform the residents of this meeting. Represeritative Backlund stated another issue before the Legislature is property tax relie�. He stated the Governor has proposed to fund school districts at 100$, as opp�sed to a combination of State and local tax f unding. He stated, more than 1 ikely, it will be a vombination of the Stat�e f�ding and a reduction in local tax funding. He stat�ed local taxpayers in Fridley would receive an estimated 7 or 8$ reduction in their property ta�oes. He further stated the differenoe would be p�wicied by the State so school aid would renain �mchanged. Represeritative Backl�md stated another issue is the gag rule and the DFL caucus feels that is hanpering then frcm e�oercising their rights. He stated this has to cb with the manner in which they budget ar� spend money at the State level. He stated in past years, the Legislature has looked at the appropriations and then determined what revenues were r�eeded. He stated at this time, the Legislature is reversing the provedure and f irst determining hvw muci� they will spend and then deciding haw it will be appropriated. Representative Backlimd stated he felt this was a sic�ificant dlange. Mayor Nee thanked Representative Backlund for informinq the C7ouncil on these issues. Representative Backl�d stated if he can be of ariy assistance to the O��mcil, they should not hesitate to call on him. �,• ti 4, « . �: Mr. John Anderson, 831 66th Avenue N. E. , appeared bef ore the Council regarding the No. 1 Health C:lub in Fridley. He stated, as the Oouncil is aware, a large nunber o� oonoerned citizens f ram Redeemer Lutheran Church have been picketing this establishment. He questioned what support o�uld be e�ected f ran the City. Mr. Anderson stated they have requested assistance f rom the Pol ice Departmerit in advising then of the awners of vehicles who patronize this business. He stated they have not received this su�ort and must go to the State Motor Vehicle Department in order to obtain this information and it involves a fee and only three na¢nes and addresses can be obtained at one time. Mr. fli11, Public Safety Director, stated the Polioe Department is prohibited by the State f ram praviding this inf ormation. He stated if the Pol ice Departme.nt prwided this information, they would be subject to criminal penalties. Mr. Hill stated the Fblioe Department is conducting an active investigation of the No. 1 Health Club, but coulc7n' t reveal any specif ic -2- 1• �� 1�� V��+ ��. � ��1%.� _, : . . ir�ormation. He stat�ed the ooanglaint regarding the ordinanoe passed by the City is pending in the court. Mr. Aerrick, City Attorney, stated some activities oould be discussed and it would be to the mutual benef it of the oonverned citizens and the City not to discuss others. Mr. Aerrick stated the ordinanoe passed by the O�Lmcil is being challenged by the vwr�ers of the No. 1 Health CLub arnd action is pending in the Federal District Oourt to determine whether the ordinanve is oonstitutional and if the City c�n prooeed to er�orae it. Mr. Aerrick stated there have been sane arrests at this establisY�►ent and a large perc�entage of the arrests have resulted in c�onvictions. Mr. Herrick stated the Ci.ty, do�ty Attorney, and City Prosecutor are moving on this matter as quickly as possible. A lady in the audienoe asked if there was anything temporarily close down this establishment. She illegal activities are taking plaoe. that could be done to stated the City knows Mr. Herrick stated if the C�ty prooeeds in an arbitrary maruzer to close this estabis�nent, they oould be sued. He stated he dicln' t f eel a�one would benef it by attenpting to close then cb�m for some minor or trivial matter. He felt the City w�ould be better o�f taking the more reasonable approach of working throuc� the wurts regarding an interpretation of the ordinanoe. O��cilman Barnette stated he felt the O��mcil was probably as f rustrated as the residerits, but they are obligated to proveed acoording to the laws and sanetimes this is an awfully slaw prooess. Mr. Hi11 stated marry oatununities are interested in what happens in court regarding this ordinanoe and felt, if it was tzpheld, you would see similar ordinanoes in other aa�n�uiities. 4 l�- 4�. i�� i 1� *�_ : i ��. �� 4t�_ v�:- M4 _ � • yr� _ •! �.i�4�t 4 • ► • � � M ' � • � M \M �4; ��_ ul� 4�1�_ ui?+�� ' �! � 4 y • : NDTIot�1 by O��cilman Sc,�r�eider to waive the reading of the publ ic hearing notioe and open the public hearing.

Mr. Flora, Put�lic Works Director, stated there are a total o� five projects vavered under street improveae� project ST 1985-1 & 2. He stated these imprav�nent projects involve the follawing areas: (1) University Avenue West Service Drive, 81st Avenue to the north; (2) University Avenue East Sezvioe Drive, Civic Center to Mississippi Street; (3) 73-1,/2 Avenue N.E., cul-de-sac to 110 feet west; (4) East River Road Servioe Drive, 53rd Way rbrth to cul-de-sac; and (5) Sth Street, 61st Avenue to 63rd Avenue. -3- �� )� / u� _�MM1,, �i �� t : �� ' � 1�M�/�+� �+M : ��!�l � .!__�_ '!�C1/� «_ ! � ��_ 1�Ir. Flora stated the imprwenerit of the University Avenue West servioe drive was petitioned for last year and was postponed until this year and construction is scheduled for this spring. He stated the total estimated cost of the project is $72,198.76 and it is proposed to split the assessne.nts on either side o� the properties. Mr. Jor�es, 8391 Lower 138th O�urt, Apple Valley, Minnesota, stated he had concurred with the loopback to facilitate traffic in the area. He statecl he had requested the assessnents be deferred until developnent of the property and would 1 ike this request shawn in the minutes. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated it would be appropriate at the assessment hearing for the Qo�mcil to oonsider this request. ��?+� M ; ��+�; � : � ��!�� « � ; �� Mr. Flora stated the imprwenent � the University Avenue East Servioe drive from the Civic Center to Mississippi Street is estimated at a cost of $40,493.75 which will be assessed to Target Northern Operations Oenter. r c�w �?+�: � Mr. P'lora stated the imprwenent to 73-1/2 Avenue is the result of a lot split on Lot 28. He statecl the estimated oost for oonstruction of this 18 foot wi3e street with curb and gutter is $10,612.50 which would be assessed to Lot 28. He stated also prop�sed is wnstruction of water and sanitary sewer extensions and services to both the north and south sides of the street, at an estimted cost of $5,187.50 to be assessed to Lot 28, and $5,187.50 for the south side whirh would not be assessed to Lot 29, until such time as the property owner chooses to develop the rear portion of this lot as a second building sit�e. Mrs. Saba' s son spoke on her behalf regarding the assessnent to Lot 2 9. He questioned why this was being clone and haa it would benef it Lot 29. Mr. Qureshi stated this imprwenent is being done to prcyvide access to Lot 28 which is being split. He stated there would not be an assessnent to Lot 29 unless it was split. ;� � ��?+> ;!c� ��+�� « !: �� Mr. Flora stated the estimated aost for this imprwenent is $70,253.70 and involves the wnstruction of ooncrete curb and gutt�r on the east side of the roadway and a final bituninous wearing course on the entire street. Mr. Qureshi stated when the streets were imprwed in this area, the curbing on the east side and final mat were left tmtil this area developed. He stated developnent in this area is now taking place and the street would be imprwed when aonstruction is aanpleted. _, �+4: �!�+ . �� . . : ��+�i � -4- �;� �� V� .�. �,. �i �i��_f�. e +a � � Mr. Flora stated the majority of this impro�ve�nent would be funded thraugh I�Dunicipal State Aid f�ds and the property owners would pay only a portion of the ooncrete curbing. Mr. Qureshi stated the (5.ty has reoeived six letters f ran property owners who object to this improvenent. I�i0TI0N by (7ouncilman Goodspeed to receive the following letters of objection: Ross aryd Carolyn Martinson, 6221 5th St. N. E. ; Henry and Elaine K�ester, 6141 5th St. N. E. ; Albert Mc Q imek, 6271 5th St. N. E. ; Howard A. Nelson, 6261 5th St. N. E. ; Mrs. Willian Kennedy, 6101 5th St. N. E. ; and Mr. Gail Jeffers, 6241 5th St. N.E. Se�nded by �imcilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Gerard Duf resne, 6121 5th Street, questioned why this impraveqnent was being done. Mr. Qureshi stated an ir�ormal hearing was conducted over a month ago to give ir�formation to the affected property awners. He stated, as indicated at that inEormal meeting, the present raadway has been in existenoe for wer 24 years and it was felt, in order to protect this investrnent, improveqnents should be made. Mr. Qureshi stated there are State Aid f unds available to pay for the bul k of the imprwement and only a sznall portion would be assessed to the property aaners. Mr. Duf resne questioned the oost for this improvenent. Mr. Qureshi stated the estimated cost is $14.94 a f ront foot to the property aaner. Mr. DuEresne asked if the street would be widened. Mr. Qureshi stated they generally would just add width for the curbing on the east side of the street, however, the west side would be widened. Mr. D�'resne stated he was against this imprav�nent as he didn't like the increased traffic this widening would bring and does not wish to pay for the imprwenent, as he felt it wasn't ryeeded. Mrs. Lonnie Burgess, 6151 5th Street, stated her main conoern was if the impra�enent would result in increased traffic on this street. Mayor Nee stated there would be a modest widening at the north end on the west side of the street. Aawever, to di rectly answer her question on whether there would be more traffic, no one knows for sure if this would occur. He felt whatever tr�fic would use the street would do so whether or r�t the imprwenent is cbne. He stated staff's position is to imprave the street so it doesn't deteriorate and to protect the original investrnent. Mr. Ron Nienaber, 6261 5th Street, stated he was opposed to this impravenerit. He felt wic]ening the street would increase traffic. He felt that is why the street r�eeds to be widened bacause it would have more use. _� �1 1�. 1 41�i�1 1�, • �I: �+_ , • ;� ' ' He felt the v�st was quite high for something which he does not want or t�eed. Mrs. Martinson, 6221 5th Street, stated she is against widening the street because of the oost. 5he stated she was also against widening the street because she has snall children and to put more tr�fic on the street would be dangerous. Mrs. Anna Peterson, 6191 5th Street, asked if sic7ewalks would lae installed, as this would affect her trees. Mr. Qureshi stated the staff is not proposing sic3ewalks for this street. Mr. Qureshi stated he reoo�izes that r�o one wants to pay ariy more of the oost than is absolutely neoessary. Ae stated the CYty is trying to protect the investrnent in this street and there is a chanoe to use State Aid f unds to pay the bulk of the v�st for this imprwenent. He felt traffic using the street will use it whether or r�t is is imprwed. O�imcilman Barnette asked the residents where they felt the additional tr�f ic would be generated. Mr. Nienaber stated he felt, with the new Target building and the office building c�omplex, there would be additional traffic on their street. d��cilman Goodspeed felt the alternatives had to be weighed. He stated if residents felt traffic would not come down 5th Street, unless it is improved, that is taking a gamble. He felt if the street is not impraved and a nunber of cars use the street, residents may f ind the street needs re�irs and State Aid f�ds may not be available. He wondered haa many felt it was worth taking the rhanoe. Mr. Nienaber stated he felt the reason for the improvenent is because it is anticipated there wi11 be additional traffic oaning into the area and using this street. He felt he dic�'t benefit at all and, iri fact, his property may be worth less. He stated if they clic3n't have to pay ariything for imprwenent, perhaps he would be in favor. Mr. D�resne stated if the street isn't guing to be widened on the east side and there isn't any o�st to the property avners, he would be interested in the imprwenent. Mr. Qureshi stated, basic�lly, there would only be widening to add curbing on the east sic7e and the renainder would be on the west side. He stated there would be � additional lar�s, but would increase the availability of parking on both sides of the street. Mr. James Erickson, 6171 Sth Street, stated the concrete curbing would improve the street scmaahat and he would be in favor c� the imprwanent. He stated he was reluctant to pay the assessment, but felt it would be an improvenent. Mr. Qureshi stated there is no question in his mind that the value c� these properties would be increased by this impravenent. Mr. Qureshi stated it is preseritl.y p�oposed the residents pay about 25$ of the a�st, with the balanoe ooming f ran State Aid f unds. He stated another -6- ��.1� � �i��+ 1�. • �: �t .: �+ ' � approarh would be to give credit for the existing asphalt curbing and charge the differenoe between this curbing and ooncrete curbing. He stated this would result in a lower f ront foot oost o£ approximately $10.00 per f ront foot instead of $14.94. Mayor Nee asked who would be in favor if the oost was reduoed. Ztao persons indi.cated they w�uld be in favor; four persons indicated they w�ere opposed; and one was unciecicled. 1K�TION by doimcilman Barnette to close the publ ic hearing. Seconded by �tmcilman Goodspeed. Upon a voioe vote, all v�oting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the pu4l.ic hearing closed at 9:05 p.m. • i i� • • � . r � . : �!� �� ,� � • ; _ : :.� :1:. *l_ : ; ��. �� 4�; , : � �._ ._ �� . ,r:. � ; �� «�!�� : : /�+�11 4�4 � 4M �� ; : _ ; M)TI0�1 by O�uncilman Fitzpatrick to waive the reading of the public hearing notioe and open the public hearing. Seoorb3ed by O��mcilman Sc�neider. iJp�n a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried un,animously and the public hearing opened at 9:05 p.m. Mr. Qureshi, City 1Kanager, stated the Qty hired a consultant to see what o�uld be cbr�e at the iritersection of Hic�way 65, West Moore Lake Drive, and Old CerYtral. Ae statecl the reason for this study is because the property now occupied by the 100 �ain Driv�-in is zoned commercial and it is anticipated that, in the future, it will develop so the traffic problems should naw be addressed. Mr. Qureshi stated the oonsultant indicated that onoe the 100 7.Wi.n property c3e�velopes, it would generate about 4,500 to 5,000 vehicles per day, as oan�xired naw to about 2,500 vehicles per day on West Moore Lake Drive. Mr. Qureshi stated to facilitate the proper moveqnent of the traffic, adequate stacking roan should be provided with traffic separated into different laryes, depending on what direction they would be going. He stated this would be r�eoessary to mwe traff ic through the area as quickly and orderly as possible. Z�vo plans were presented which would cause traffic to flaw around and throuc� the area more eEficiently. Mr. Qureshi stated the City wanted to obtain some feeaback frcm the r�eighborhood on what plan they would prefer for this area. Mr. Bob Guzy, one o� the aaners of the drive-in, stated he would 1 ike to hear any �snoments f ran the residerits. He stated he wanted to insure they have a developnerit that would be oompatible with the neighborhood. Mr. Flora, Pub�lic Works Director, stated the biggest o�nvern of the oonsultant was to preclude cars f ran driving into the resic3ential area. Mrs. Sac3ie Grmderson, 5707 West Moore Lake Drive, askecl why a cul--de--sac was proposed on one o� the plans when only two properties are affected. Mr. Qureshi stated other lots, to the south which are zoned residential and not, as yet, d�vel oped woul d al so be af f ected. He stated one c� the pl ans cal l s for a cul-de-sac on West Moore Lake Drive and eliminates direct access onto Hic�way 65 for residents in this area. He stated the other plan has direet -7- �� . �� .�r r�. • a�:-�� ::+ 'I� acvess to Highway 65, but would probably encourage more traffic in the residential area. Mr. Guzy stated it was felt acoe�s is important to the developnent of this property and the use of a service road would be pref erred. He stated the plan for the servioe road to run parallel to Highway 65 and pro�vide a cul-de-sac on West Moore Lake Drive would be pre;Eerable. He felt this glan protects the resideritial and oc�nercial aspects of the land. �e question of a pedestrian acoess was brought up and Mr. Qureshi stated there would be r� problen prwiding sudz an acoess. A gentlanan in the audience stated it is almost impossible to get onto Highway 65 fran West Moore Lake Drive now and if traffic is increased he ooulc3z't imagine haa they would ever get out. Mr. Qureshi stated there are 1 imitations about what can be done, however, it is hoped to provide su�ff icient stacking room, imprave the signals, and tra�fic channelization. Mr. Willian Kell, 5675 Jackson Street, stated the plan for the cul-de-sac on West Moore Lake Drive is probably the best of the two plans being oonsidered. Mr. Rell stated he has been in traffic oontrcil for many years and felt the proposed plan would be r�thing more than a"band-aid" action. He stated he has sane suggestions that would be very expensive, but would probably solve the total problen. He felt this glan is prob�ably the best solution for the present traffic situation, but would prob�ably wnrk for only a short period of time. Mayor Nee stated he would apQreciate it if Mr. Rell would give the C�ty the ber�efit o� his expertise and coc�n�icate his ideas to the staff. Mr. Flora stated the �nsultant's study p�oved, at best, the impravenent of the intersection when there is additional develognent would remain as it currently exists. Hawever, without the imprwenent, �onditions would only worsen. Mr. Qureshi stated, on the east side � Hic�way 65, there is a problem of inac3equate stacking roan. He stated it is proposed to mave the existing entrance onto Old Ceritral farther east and north. He stated this would prwide additional stacking and sorting of traffic so it can mave more freely. He stated, if this plan is adop�ted, one house would have to be renwed. Mr. Qureshi stated what is proposed is traff ic f rom the apartments and oaranercial c�evelopnent would be directed onto eillwind to acoess to this new entranoe and, basically, residential acoess fram P�lk, Lynde, and Hathaway w�uZd join at this eritranc�e. Mr. Qureshi explained haa staff is working to minimize the traff ic coming north on Old Ceritral. � t�.1� v+�±� ��. �, ��:.:�. ::+ �I� Mr. Gilstad, 930 Hackman, stated he wanted to put in a driveway in the future and asked haa this proposed relocation of the access road would affect his property. 1Hr. Qureshi stated his property wouldn't be affected and by maving this acoess, he would have a better chanoe o� getting orito Old (7eritral Mr. Gilstad further stated he felt if speeds were reduoed on Hic�way 65, it would be helpEul. Mr. Qureshi stated the City is on record requesting a reduction of the speed l imit on both Hic,�ways 65 and 47 throuc,� the C7ty. Ms. Nancy Jorgensen, 5730 Polk, suggested Polk Street be dead-ended. She felt this would relieve the oongestion at the Fblk/Haclanan irrteraection. Mr. Qureshi stated Ms. Jorgensen' s suggestion would el iminate one of the exits, hawever, the traffic eve.ntually gets to this destination and felt it was better to provide two exits rather than one. He stated, at this point, the tr�fic you are dealing with is locat fran reside�s in the area. A lady in the audienoe stated she lived next door to the house which they propose to renove. She stated her only problesn is getting out on Old Oentral because o� the tr�fic fran the north. l�ir. Qureshi stated he felt traffic by her ho�ne would be reduoed because vehicles would be using Hillwind. Mr. Qureshi asked Mr. John9on, owner � the vacant property on West Moore Lake Drive, if he had a� comments regarding these proposed plans. Mr. Jahnson stated he would like to reseYVe his oaronents for sometime next week. M)'I.'ION by ootmcilman Fitzpatrick to close the public hearing. Seconded by Cb�mci.lman Barnette.

Meyer stated when the Family Life/�iental Health Qenter was established wer six years ago, there was not a facility in Anoka O��ty offering mental health prograns. She stated, before this time, persons in Anoka County had to g� to Hennepin or Ramsey oo�mties for suc� sexvioes. Mrs. M�yer stated the oenter is loc�ted in Anoka and provides services to people o� all ages in the areas of psychiatric evaluation, psychological clisturbanoes, danestic problens, etc. She stated the Qeriter prwides these services to 150-200 patients each month about 30 of which are Fridley residents. She stated many free hours of service are pravided to persons residing in Fridley. Mrs. Meyer went on to further explain the personnel on their staff. She felt it would be appropriate for $2,000 af CDBG funds to be p�avided to the Qeriter. Mrs. Luc.y Miclanan, psyciziatric nurse practitioner o�f the Qenter, stated she would like to address a few issues which were of concern to the H�nan Resouroes O�mission. She stated the Center sees about 325 new patients each month and sinoe the f irst o� the year, 28 residents f ram Fridley have been served by the aenter. Mrs. Miclanan stated one o� the requi renents of the CDBG is that these f unds serve lower inoome people. She stated 64$ of thei r cl ients have incomes �mder $7,000. Mrs. Miclanan stated their Center differs f ram the North Suburb�an Family Servioe aeriter and the Qentrat oeriter for Family Resources because they are a psydiiatric model and see more of the chronically ill patierits. O��cilman Goodspeed asked what rr�w servioe or increase they w�ere glanning. Mrs. MiclQnan stated they have expanded services by 30$ resulting in a 208 increase in new clients, and are expanding the staff ar�d looking at srnne r�ew prograns.

O��cilman Schneider questioned their source of funding. P'lrs. Miclanan stated it is all private so their charges are reimbursable through most insuranoes. She stated their pol icy is not to turn anyone away for financial reasons, if they do need he1p. ��mcilman Sdu�eider asked if the Qenter had requested funding fram Spring Lake Park. 5he stated she believed they will receive funding fro�n Coon Rapids and dic�'t know, as yet, if they would reoeive assistanoe fran Spring Lake �rk.

He stated the varianoes originally requested were to increase the total square footage af a p�lon si� fran the maximun of 80 equare feet to 521 square feet; to increase the heic,�t � a g,�lon sic�n fran the maximun o� 25 feet to 50 feet; and to increase the total square footage c+f an ir�ormational sign f rosn the maximun o� 4 square feet to 38 square feet. Mr. Flora stat�ed there was oonsiderable discussion at the Appeals �mission meeting regarding these varianves and the original request was c�anged. He stated the (k�ar►ission reoa�nended apprwal o� the varianoes to increase the total square footage for g�lon sic�s frcm the maximun of 80 square feet to 469 square feet and to increase the hei�t c� a g�lon si� f ram the maximian o� 25 feet to 50 feet. Mr. Flora further stated these recommendations would affect the signs as follaas: Sic,g� #1 to be a maximun af 361 square feet and 50 feet high; Sign #2 to be a maxim�n af 48 �quare feet and 8 feet high (single faced with no back lighting); Si� #3 to be a maximun c� 60 square feet and 22-1/2 feet hic,�; and Sic� �4 to be a maximun af 16 square feet and 10 feet hic,�. Mr. Flora stated these p�oposed changes in the varianae request were agreed upon by the aaners of the shop�ng center and the Appea].s Commission and were, es9entially, supp�rted by the ryeighborhood. Mr. Flora stated the Commission recommendec3 appraval, with the square footages and heic�ts noted abave, with the follaaing stipulations: (1) an acoeptable wall sic� gtan be sutrnitted to the Council; (2) Sign #1 to be mwed to the riorthwest into the green area with a shrub bed at the base; (3) Sign #2 should have landscaping at the base; (4) Sign #3 should be inoorporated into the green spave ar�d have landscaping at the base; and (5) Sig► #4 should inoorporat�e a clirectional arrow and be 10 feet to the east. Mr. Mark Haggerty, attorr�y representing the Skywood Mall owr�ers, stated the sic�s at the Gro�md Ro�md and Great Pmerican N�usic are 36 feet high and 43 feet hi�. He stated Menard's sign is higher than the one at the Ground Roimd so he estimated it to be somewhere between 40 to 43 feet high. He stated they are proposing their si� to be 50 feet, whic� would be a 1 ittle higher than scme c� the other sic�s in the area. He stated they would be willing to acoept the reoa�anendations made by the Appeats dam►ission. Mrs. Judith Etigebretson, 5216 Taylor Street, asked if the back of Sign #2 w�ould be blacker�ed an� have shrubberty plantecl behind it. Mr. Flora stated that was the reoonunendation aF the Appeals Commission. Mrs. Engebretson stated she app�eciated the reduction in the size c� Sic,� �3, but still felt the heic�t c� 5Q feet for Si� #1 was excessive. She felt the sic,� would not be rroticed f ran I-694 due to the position of the exit r�nps. Mrs. Engebretson stated she didn't believe this developnent was basing its sucoess on a 50 foot sic� that is visible f ran the f reeway. She fel.t that billboards should be sased to advertise the motel. Mrs. �hgebretson stated she dic�'t deny there should be a varianoe for Sign -15- k�. !�. v��+� ��. � �f= ��. .: .+ ' ' #1, but it should be oompara4le to other si.c�s in the area. She stated si� heights shouldn't be based on the amount spent for develognent. Mr. Haggerty stated, as far as using the billboards, they would pre£er a�3vertising on %694. Ae stated the problem is the sign companies will allow then to exist for only a short period of time. O��cilman Gooclspeed stated he dic�'t go along with the argument that the more square footage in a developnent, the more sic�age it needs. Ae stated he didn't support the idea of this varianoe. Mr. Haggerty stated this is a situation where varianoes have been graritecl to other operations in the area. He stated they are the f i rst maj or hotel in the City and trying to have their sic,� stand out so peogle can f ind then. He stated these sic�s will clean-up the preserit eyesore. O�uncilman Goodspeed felt when you have a Sign Ordinance, it should be enforoed. He stated he felt the sign was "tacky" and was someth�ng that would be expected at truck stoFs.

BACKGROUND S�TEMENT The municipal storm Water drainage utilitq utilizes a Pee atructure based oa the anticipated relative contribution of storm drainage runoff volumes to the atorm Water drainage system. A parcels contributioA is determined by that parcels size and its 2and use, under the prineipal that more intensively developed land uaes typically have a larger percentage of impervious surface and contribute a much greater volume of �►ater and/or sediment/nutrient Ioadings to the syst�. - It is recognized that aome parcels, due either to their unique topographic� vegetative, geologic and other characteristics, have a hydrologic and sediment/nutrient loading response substantially different from that of similarlq sized parce2s ot the same land use. To provide tor an equitable assessment of storm drainage fees, baaed on reasonably expected contribution of flrnrs and sediment/nutrients� provisions are hereby made to permit adjustments or credits to the storm drainage Pees for those parcels Witb unique or unusual characteristies. Existence or construction of on aite atorm drainage control, detention or retention facilitiea by themselves are not eligible for storm Water drainage tee credit and/or adjustment xithout complying With the procedure aet farth in thia policy. In addition to continued maintenance and repair of these facilities it is equallq important to provide necessary vater quality control s in order to be e2igible Por any cred3t and/or adjustment. '• r._�M The basis oP the City of Fridley�s atorm Water drainage fees is the anticipated relative eontribution of storm water volumes and sediment/nutrient loadings to the storm drainage system from a given parcel. Where unique or unusual conditions exist that the actual contributions of water volume and sediment/nutrient loadings from a given parcel are substantially difPerent from those anticipated by the storm drainage fee structure, the public works director or his designate may adjust or credit the storm drainage fee Por said parcel Lo an appropriate level in accordance With the guidelines speeified herein. 2C •;� � ; r� ,r �� •�: �i. !- • • •- 1�- • 1 •��_ •� It is the responsibility of the property o�+ner or his agent to preseat to the Public Works Director or his desi�ate� sutficient information concerning a parcels hydrologic charaeteristfc� to permit an accurate asseasment of the conditions that ezist.

MOTION BY MR. BETZOLD, SECONDED BY 1�LS. GEROU� TO OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING. UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE,CHAIRPERSOI� CABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:35 P.1�1. Chairperson Gabel read the Administrative Staff Report: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT; Section 214.11.26 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 HAROSHIP: "The signage is for a new 200,000 square foot shopping center mall, restaurant, 100 room motel, banquet facilities, and office building. This complex needs more than the allowable 80 square feet of signage and would be grandfathered in by redesigning the existing signage. This reqoest would decrease the existing signage and improve what is there now." C. AUMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: Presently there is one pylon sign, constructed in August 1965, for the Skywood Shopping Center. It is approximately 28 feet high and 279 square feet in area. In December 1972, a variance to allow the existing 279 square feet was granted. In /tpril 1973, an additional variance request to allow 312 square feet was denied by the City Council. 3A APPEALS C0�'IMISSION MEETIt�G, JANUARY 15, 1985 PAGE 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, high; Sign #3 (53rd Avenue) 80 square feet and 22 ft. 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 #1 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 allow 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:,ring recommendations: Sign #1 should be moved to the northwest into the green area with a shrub bed at the base. Sign fi►2 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 Corm�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 Music was granted in June T972. 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-standing sign in the parking lot facing north and south, is 36 ft. high, has a 72 sq. ft. Northwest Fabrics logo, along with the Target logo of 144 sq. ft. Citgo was recently granted a sign variance to increase total square footage to 264 sa. ft. Mr. Clark stated he called Columbia Heights to esk them to give him a record of the sign square footages along Central Ave., but he has not yet received that information. 3B APPEALS COt�1ISSI0N 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 wall signs rather moderate in size-- one over the entrance to the Skywood 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) To remove all the current signs; (2) to replace those signs with uniform and upgraded signage; (3j 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 Mall development is about two blocks away from the freeway, and they believe they need to attract the traffic goinq by on 694 or this development is not going to pro�per. The Skywood development is a huge development. There is a$7 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 exoanded by about 10,000 sq. ft. There is a 100-room motel that has just opened. The office building is about 20,004 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 development will not be seen. She stated she had some photographs taken from the freeway to show the Commissioners what it looked like when driving by on the freeveay. She stated it was even difficult to 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 follov�inq siqns: Sign #1 will be the largest free-standing sign. It will read "Skywood Inn" at the top, underneath that will be the "Best 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. 3C APPEALS COf1MISSION MEETING, JANUARY 15, 1985 �'� PAGE 5 Sign #2 was a free-standing sign which will be on 52nd Ave. It will be 18 ft. 7 in, high and 80 sq. ft. It will say "Skywood Inn". The 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 sign 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 directional sign. It will say "Skywood Inn Entrance". It wiil `�s 38 sq, ft, and 13 ft. high. Sign #5 was a wall sign. It was 9.63 sq. ft. It will say "Skywood Inn Office" and it will be put up above the overhang. Sign #6 was a wall sign, 50 sq. ft. It will say "Minnesota House 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 smaller signs are internally illuminated displays. 7hey will be painted on flexible faced material. It is the latest 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 siqns will have the same colors, same painting, and same materials. Ms. Nee stated the total existing sign area �s 1,651 sq. ft. This does not include the Lee Wards sign which will remain in place. 7he total signage they are proposing to replace it with is 618.63 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. Qnce the peop]e 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 all the parked cars, lights, colors, etc., it becomes confusing and a smal] sign might get lost. Mr. McCline stated the height and size was basically determined by the traffic coMing off 53rd. Ms. Gabel asked if there were any comments from the audience. Ms. Judy Engebretson, 5216 Taylor St. N.E., stated she lived directly above the motel. She stated that before making any personal comnents, she would like to read a letter dated Jan. 14, 1985, from several residents of the neighborhood who could not attend the meeting. The letter stated: 3D APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 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 is preferred that if a siQn 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 commercialiae the residential area." MOTION BY MR. BARNA, SECONDED BY MR. BETZOLII, TO RECEIVE THE LETTER DATED JAN. 14, 1985. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSOl7 GABEL DECLARED THE INC)TZON CARRIED UNANIINOUSLY. 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 visibility. 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 blocking the only view they have left. Ms. Engebretson for visibility by Menards. A business to the stated she could understan from the freeway, but there suggestion might be to ren motel. d why a 50 ft. was already a t space on that high sign was wanted billboard located billboard to attract 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 Taylor and the residential streets. 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, but they do have investments ranging fror� $90-150,000. These are their homes 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 zoning. So, if the Appeals Comnission grants these sign variances, they, as property owners, must have the feelinq that the City feels its commercial people are much more important than its residential people. 3E APPEALS COhMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 15, 1985 _� PAr,E 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 travelinq east on 694 were going to see a sign (even if it was 250 ft. high) and have time to be able to exit and get to the motel. People travel- ing 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 of traveling, and that is the only way to find a motel. Mr. Kantorowicz stated Central Avenue was already "sign alley" 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 Taylor St. N.E., stated he was a little away from the congestion or possible noise, or excess lighting or whatever. The thin� 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 assume 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 members had good judgment and he trusted their judqment would be for the good of al l . Ms. Jo Jaroslawski, 5201 Taylor St. N.E. stated she lived on 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 signs. 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 6-7 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. One of the reasons 52nd was signalized was to give the traffic another place to make a left turn. He stated some sort of 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 motel on 52nd Ave. who play in the street because there are no sidewalks or play areas. M�'ION BY !!S. GERDU, SEG�ONDED BY 1�2. AETZOLD, TO CLOSE TAE PUBLIC HEARING. �_ UPON A �/OICE VI�TE, ALL VOTING AYE, CXAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:35 P.1l. 3F APPEALS CO�a�ISSION �EETING, 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 eiiminate Siqn #4. 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 to have it 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- bility so he could understand the need for Sign #1, 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. He did think there was a desire for visibility on each of the three street frontages, but he thought the proposal was going a little bit too far. He did not accept the argument that it was necessary to have a sign that is visible from 694. The Commission 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 uurpose 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 hardship 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, although 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 Commission 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 littie 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 that is how people get killed. The Comnisslon would rather people 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 ra�p. He would personally like to see the height of Sign #1 dropped from 50 ft. to 40 ft. He would like to see Signs #2 and #3 reduced from 80 sq, ft. to 60 sq. ft. or less. He had no objection to the height of Signs #2 and #3. All he saw necessary for Sign #4, the directional sign, was the word "entrance". He would like to see an entrance or an arrow sign on Sign #2 instead. 3�. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 15, 1985 � PAGE 9 Mr. Betzold stated he felt it was the sense of the Commission thaIftthe would like to see a oroposal that was a little more reasonable. petitioner was willing to consider coming back with something smaller, he would be willing to make a motion to table this item. Otherwise, he would. make a motion to deny the variances. Ms. Gabel 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 that the motel was ahead. She felt Sign #4 could be a norr.�al sized directional sign and agreed with Mr. Barna that perhaps there should be an arrow on Sign #2, and that those signs could be smaller. She was not concerned about the height of those signs. Mr. McCline stated the motel has already opened and they are not complete without signage. He would request that the Commission proceed with Item #3 on their agenda and allow 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 MR. BE^_'ZOLD, SECONDED BY l�II:.

Ms. Nee stated that after some negotiation, they have come up with the following proposal: Sign #1 - They would like Sign #1 to remain at the same square footage and same height as originally proposed. Sign #2 on 52nd reads "Skywood Inn". They would reduce it in square footage from 80 sq. ft. to 48 sq. ft. and lower the height from 18 ft. 7 in. to8ft. APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 15, 1985 PAGE 13 Sign #3 on 53rd Ave. reads square footage from 80 sq. in height. •3I "Skywood Mall". They would reduce it in ft. to 60 s� ft. and leave it at 22 ft. 5 in. Sign #4 was the directional sign within the property. 7hey would take off the "Skywood Inn" logo and just have it read "entrance". That would reduce the sign from 38 sq. ft. to 16 5_ q. ft.. The sign would be l0 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 peopie out of the neighborhood. Mr. McCline stated the neighbors who live above the motel had just made a request and he agreed with it that the sign on 52nd would be basically a single face sign so the people coming off the highway would see it. but the backside of the sign would be blank. The neighbors would not have to look into a liqhted sign as it would be illuminated on only one side. The Commissioner�s 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 they, the neighbors, going to have to come in again when more signage is proposed for the mall? Ms. Gabel 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 to sor�e wall signage depending on the agreement with the landlord. As she under- stood it, the wall signage will be very minimal. Mr. McCline stated these are the only free-standing signs for the whole comp)ex. The existing signage in the mall will come down and, depending on the tenants' leases, additional wall signage will be strip-type signaqe, uniform color and size, basically on an opaque background, with just the names of the individual tenants in the mall. Mr. Betzold 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 mfght be a little bit more palatable to the neiqhbors in the area. He could go along with it with the stipulations suggested by Staff, as weii as the stipulation requested by tklite19hbors that the sign on 52nd face away from the complex and not be bac . 3J 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 �1 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 s�ze of Sign #1, 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 Cortmission and with the neighbors. She would 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 mall. 1NOTION BY MR.

Fridley, MN 55432 Subject: Reference: Auditors Subdivision 153, 5201 Central Avenue N. E. 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 5 2 3 4 Ta ylor St. N. E.

X 1 On January 25, 1985, Gary Wellner of G 8 G Builders, submitted a vacation request to vacate a 3 ft. by 12 ft. section of a 10 foot drainage and utility easement. Mr. Wellner was ready to close on the sale of the new home at 115 Satellite Lane. When they checked the verifying survey, they found the home was infringing on this easement. This vacation request just missed going to the Planning Commission on February 6th. We had no other items �or this meeting so a decision by the Planning Commission to cancel this meeting was made before we received this request. It will not go to the Planning Commission on February 21, 1985. Because these minutes will not go to the City Council until March 18th, waiting until that date to set a public hearing would be a real hardship for the petitioner who has to hold up the closing on this property until the vacation is finalized. The City Council will not recieve the Planning Comnission minutes on this request until March 18th, but it would move things ahead by several weeks if they could set the public hearing on this vacation at their February 25th meeting for March 18th. As this vacation is only for a small portion of this easement, we don't anticipate any problems with this reqaest. We have already heard from Northern States Power Company that they have no problem with this vacation. If the Council will set the public hearing for March 18th at the February 25th meeting, then we can send the Public Hearing notice to the F�idley Focus on the 27th of February to be published on March 4th and llth. We will have the ordinance ready for the meeting on March 18th. If Council has the first reading of the Ordinance at this same meeting, it would expedite the process which would allow the closing on this property which would benefit both the buyer and the seller.

PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY RE�UIREMENT: Section 205.15.3A requireS a minimum lot area of 35,000 square feet under one ownership. Public purpose served by this requirement is to avoid the condition of overcrowding of a commercial area. Section 205.15.3C.1 requires an eighty foot front yard setbac� for all permitted buildings. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide desired front yard space to be used for green areas on access and to add to the attractability of a commercial zone. Section 205.15.3C.3 requires a minimum rear yard of not less than 40 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide adequate open space around commercial structures for aesthetic and fire-fighting pur�oses. Section 214.11.2C limits a free-standing sign to a maximum height of 25 feet above the finished ground grade. Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual qollution and excessive use of signs in comnercial areas. SA APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 29, 1985 � PAGE 3 6. STATED HAROSHIP: "The smGll size of this pro�erty and the low elevation from Central ' _ Avenue requires reduced setbacks and increased p�lon sign heiqht." C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: This proposal for a 4,500 square foot building includes a Pickwich Bookstore and one other small business. Along with the aropertv's C-3 zoning are the following variances: 1. Lot area from 35,000 square feet to 22,160 square feet. 2. Front yard setback from 80 feet to 65 feet. 3. Rear yard setback from 40 feet to 5 feet. 4. Sign height from 25 feet to 35 feet. Plan submitted is a reorientatian of petitioner's original building plan done at the City's request in order to eliminate a front yard setback vari-ance. The sign height variance is requested due to the approximately 10 foot of elevation differential between his aroQerty and the adjacent R Petroleum operation. Petitioner has stated that the sign would be 35 feet high or equal to the Q Petroleum sign height, whichever is less. V3riance for lot area, front yard setback and rear yard setback for a different proposal for this site were approved in May 1984. ' Mr. Clark stated that the variances were published in such a wav so that there was some flexibility. The front yard setback was published at 80 ft. to 65 ft.; the rear yard setback at 40 ft, to 5 ft. As discussed at the last meetinq, it sounded like it was the feeling of the Appeals Commission that th�re be a front yard variance froM 80 ft. to 75 ft. and a rear yard setback from 40 ft. to 10 ft. Ms. Jane Murdick� 7726 Morqan Ave. S., stated she was rearesentinq the petitioner, Norman Brody, who was unable to be at the meeting. She stated that in discussions with Mr. Brody, the rear yard setback becominq 10 ft. and the front yard setback becoming 75 ft, were agreeable ��ith him. Mr. Clark stated one other thing discussed at the Jan. 15th Appeals Comnission meeting was the possibility of relocating the refuse dumpster from the north- west corner of the property to somewhere within the retaining wall along the east side of the property. Ms. Murdock stated the relocation of the dumpster was discussed with their architect and Mr. Brody. They both felt if the dumpster was put along the east side of the property, the truck would have to come into the parking lot, 5B APPEALS COM�4ISSI0�� MEETING, JANUARY 29, 1985 PAGE 4 and they felt it might be a hazard for the dumps�er to be in that location. This presented a far less traffic pattern for the truck than on the east side. The location�of the dumpster where it is now along the northwest corner could - be screened from the neighbor to the north or the building could be continued as part of the screening in the rear. The truck could then come in, pick up the refuse, and leave. However, Mr. Brody indicated he would do whatever was desired by the City. Mr. Rod Brannon, the property owner to the north, stated that reqardinq the dumpster location, it was not just the matter of aesthetics. There was quite a bit of paper that blows down from the Embers Restaurant dumpster which is screened also. There are things tf�at could blow out of the dumpster that could become an additional nuisance for them to clean up. Even if the dumo- ster is screened, he would still have all his customers drivinq by the screened dumpster. His preference would be to have the dumpster located along the southeast corner of the property. Mr. Brannon stated he would recommend that in the Apneals Comnission's final action it is made clear that there is some type of bulkheading occur during the excavation in order to protect his property, trees, and the light pole. Mr. Brannon stated that since there was some lati.tude within the �ublishinq of the variances, he would like to recorr�end that the variance be 15 ft. from the north property line so they can ]andscape and make the area as aesthetic as possible. Mr. Clark stated that if there was l5 ft. in the rear, it would leave only 10 ft, for landscaoing between 53rd and the parkinq lot. There was also a sidewalk that runs along 53rd Ave. Mr. Barna stated he was not so «orried about the amount of qreen space. He would be more concerned that there be some type of either landscaninq or retaining wall to prevent anyone fror� falling from the sidewalk onto the park- ing lot, especially in the winter time when the sidewalk becor�es slippery. Ms. Gabel stated that with previous requests for variances on this piece of property, they have been fairly consistent with a 10 ft. rear yard variance. Ms. Burdock stated that the enqineer's report that was qiven to Jim Robinson of the Plannin� Department said that at 10 ft. there should be no problem to Mr. Brannon s property. Mr. Plemel stated he did not know how the dumpster could be hidden into the retaininq wall so it could be used. It was like asking the petitioner to put a dumps�er in his front yard. Mr. Plemel stated he would not like a dumpster in his front yard. Mr. Barna stated he could understand the comment made by Ms. Burdock about the truck having to drive through the parking lot to get to the dumqster. SC APPEALS C0�IMISSION MEETING, JA��UARY 29, 1985 PAGE 5 Ms. Burdock stated if Mr. Brannon was concerned about paper flying out of the dumpster, screening was one thing, but an enclosure was another thinq, and an enclosure would control the paper from flying around. Mr. Brannon stated that if the dumpster was in the northwest corner of the property, then it would be in his front yard. Every customer driving into his business would drive within 10 ft. of the dumpster, Maybe this problem could be reconciled if Mr. Brod,y was agreeable to extendinq the wall of the building in the same building material so the dumnster would fit between the building and two additional walls which would literally screen the dump- ster from his customers and would not be visible from his building. Ms. Gabel stated there really was not an approqriate place on the lot to hide a dumpster and so it was easily accessible to the refuse truck. However, if the screening was done properly� it did not have to be displeasin�. Ms. Burdock stated the petitioner was certainly willing to work with the Citv and Mr. Brannon on appropriate screening for the dumoster. Mr. Brannon stated he was still more in favor of 15 ft. rear yard setback as opposed to 10 ft. He would like to get the sewer line as far away f rom his property line as possible. MOiIQN BY 1�II2. BAR2JA, SECONDED BY MS. GEROU, TO CLOSE TIiE PC�BLIC HEARING. UPD?� A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSOIJ GABEL DECLARED TXE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:00 P.M. Mr. Betzold stated he had reviewed the minutes of the May 15. 1984, Appeals Comnission meeting, as well as the minutes of the Jan. 15th meeting. He felt they were still in the same situation where they were trying to make the best out of this particular lot. He did not see why they could not continue with the same rationale as before. Mr. Brannon had asked the Commission to consider having the rear yard variance at 15 ft, as ooposed to 10 ft. Mr. Betzold stated he did not think lie was willing to consider that because of the boulevard area, the sidewalk, easements, etc., plus the possibilitv of blocking vision. He would be in favor of granting the variances with the 10 ft. rear yard setback plus the stipulations regardinq landscaqing, possible 1•ocation of the dumpster, and soil retention. Mr. Barna stated he would agree. If they went to 15 ft. in the rear yard, it would bring the southeast corner of the Qarkinq lot quite close to the sidewalk. At the southeast corner, it would become quite steep and would be a matter of either extending the retaining wall or putttpg in some type of safety device which would add the expense from one s3de if the lot to the other side of the lot. The 10 ft. rear yard setback did not bother him as long as the petitioner was restricted to work for soil retention. which was Mr. Srannon's main concern. He was sure the petitioner would be willina to work with Mr. Brannon on the stipulations they had made for the last proposal. 5D APPEALS CdMMISSION MFETING JAWUARY 29, 1985 PA�E 6 Ms. Gerou stated she was in favor of granting the variances. She thouqht Mr. Brody was very coope�•ative and would be a good neighbor to work with. She thought the plan for the lot was good� and she agreed with the 10 ft. _ rear yard setback that was agreed upon for the last pr000sal. Mr. Plemel also stated he was in favor of granting the variances. The Conmissioners concurred with the variance for the sign heiqht. They realized Mr. Brody did need the exposure. The way the lot was situated with the steep hill, and considering the main traffic artery was on Central Ave., they felt it would be equitable for Mr. 8rody to have a higfi sign because of the location of his property. Ms. Gabel stated she was basically in aqreement with what has been said. Mr. Plemel stated he felt the northwest corner was the best location for the dumpster with proper screening. JNOTION BY XR.

A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT: Section 205.15.3C.1 requires an eighty foot front yard setback for all permitted buildings. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide desired front yard space to be used for green areas on access and to add to the attractability of a comnercial zone. B. STATED HARDSHIP: "Variance is needed to line up the proposed structure with adjacent buildings.° C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW: All other buildings in this block are at this 55 foot setback or closer. The staff suggests that both lots be combined into one tax parcel. No other stipulations are suggested. Mr, Clark stated the Commissioners had an aerial photo and the buildinq plot plan. The proposed project would line up with the other buildings and would behind the service station to the north. Mr. Brickner will be landscaping the whole 55 ft. rather than using it for a parkinq lot. He believed Mr, Brickner was going to build in two phases. Mr. Brickner stated he pianned to build condo offices. Ne needed the variance in order to line up the proposed structure with the adjacent buildings so he can have good exposure to Highway 65. The area will be landscaped and will look nice. Ne planned the construction in two phases. The first building will be constructed in the spring; and depending on how sales go, he would probably expand to the back for the second phase. MOTION BY MR. PLEMEL, SECONDED BY MS.

MEADOWLANDS PARK DEVELOPMENT PLAN TO im Qureshi, Citv Mana 7 � o° °a :� �o �� PW 195-84 ACTION INFp. - At the July 30 Council Conference Meeting, the Meadowlands Park was discussed. The Council at that time supported the concept of improving Meadowlands Park through various water-draw-down techniques and constructing baseball-tennis court/baskctball and tot lot facilities. Funding for the work would be accomplished through the sale of City owned property on the East end of the park, M.S.A.S. street and storm water improvement and park funds. Chuck Boudreau and I have visited the University of Minnesota Golf Course and the Golden Valley golf courses and discussed the soil stabilization used at these sites with the appropriate representatives. TKDA designed the water-draw-down plan for the Golden Valley Golf Course, which consisted of drainage detention ponds, pipes and geotextile use. Cost to Golden Valley for the plans and specifications were around $15,000. As TKDA is more familiar with the type of problems encountered in Meadowlands Park and has recent experience in designing a similar project, it would be appropriate to request a proposal from them for the Meadowlands Park improvement. If it is desired, we could request proposals from other consultants. In any case, action should be initiated in order to retain consultant support so that a definite plan is established and scheduling of the Meadowlands Park improvement can be accomplished. Request guidance on how we should proceed.

I send you a memorand�an dated January 18, 1985 which included a copy of the refunding schedule and a cash flow analysis of the refunding prooess. This was discussed by the Council during the January 28, 1985 Conference Meeting. Ch February 14, 1985, the HRA passed the first two in a series of resolutions beginning the vfficial process of refunding. The iirst resolution modifies Project No. 1 to include Tax Increnent Districts 4 and 5. In the pest, we had modified all of the existing increnent districts into one plan. Since four and five were created after that action, this is necessary to ensure all the underlined docuQnents are in order prior to the sale. 'IY�e HRA also passed a resolution requesting the City Council to approve and adopt the Modified Plan. On February 15, 1985, the City Council received a marked-up copy of that Modified Plan for their review. Since receipt of that doc�anent, the only change in the Modified Plan (which is included) is the introduction section which changes the dates of City Council Action f rom February 18, 1985 to February 15, 1985. I have attached for your review naw, a oopy of all those doc�anents along with a resolution by the City Council approving of the HRA's action and of f icial ly modifying the plan. I am requesting that this be placed on the agenda on February 25, 1985. Once this process is completed, the HRA will then be suthorized to sign the borid agreenent and on March 18, 1985 we wi.11 have f inal appraval by the City Council and the ref�mding process will be campleted.

SUBJFX,TS � REFUADIK� L1ATE: JAI�]�RY 9, 1984 As you are aware, for the gast three meetings, the HRA has been discussing the possibility of refunding the Center City Bonds. After reviewing the attached bond cash flvw analysis at the last HRA meeting in Dece�r�ber, they gave us preliminary approval to go forward with the process. At that time, they airecteci us to have Miller & Schroeder go ahead with developing the prxess for refunding the bonds with an additional 5500.000 for upcoming project oosts. Attachec3 is a schedule of the ref�ding process for you and the IiRA to review. Please note that there is no additional formal action required by the HRA until February 14. 1965 when they will have to apprave the plan modification for refunding and the� on March 14, we will need their authorization to sign the the bond purchase agreenent.

Some oY tne other cities that have been included in this resolution are at the point now where ttieir Council's have informed them that they must make a change. After careful review of tne situation, we are convinced that the problen revolves around ttie specif ic fact of counting the ballots. We have reviewed with the County Auditor's office and the County Data Processing Departrnent a n�nnber of potential alternatives for reducing the amount of time spent counting the ballots. After reviewing all the alternatives, it is clear that the most cost exfective way to eliminate the problen and thus alleviate ttie amount time j udges have to sit at the County is to count the ballots in City iiall. While tne resolut�.on ttlat we are asking the City to pass authorizes tne staff to begin a forntial evaluation of the cost benefit, it appears to us on the surface tnat the cost of the counting machine (between $9,000 and $10,000) when aQnortized over the next f ive years in comparison to the oost of the salaries of the staff and judges, that there would be a substantial benef it to the�City. It should be pointed out tt�at as of last year tne City has tne responsibility to pay all the judges salaries. Aside from the cost benefit of this type of activity, there would be same other value. 1. For�nost, we would probably not lose as many head judges and would increase our ability to attract new judges. 2. We would be able to provide results to our own candidates on a much faster basis. 3. We would be closer to the precincts during the period of tune between seven and t� p.m. when tne City Hall staff is usually either on the way to the County or at the County and out of touch. �his resolution merely directs us and authorizes us to begin reviewing the process witn tne County Auciitor and forn�ailizes that the City Cour►cil approves of tnis action. Zhe resolution has al.so been placed on the agenda of Caon Rapids, Colu�mbia Heights and Blaine for ttieir approval. I am recommending that we place this on the Council's agenda for February 25 and then I will forward it to the County. 9CI:sh oc: 5hirley Haapala, Deputy City Qerk, Reoords S�ecialist Elsie Hanscom, Acco�mting/Data Processing Clerk 3/0/4/24 � DRAFT R�TIZQ�I AA. — 1985 A RF�[TI'IQd AtTii30RIZII� �E CITY STAFF TO PURSUE PLTN(S C1�FiD RF►L�IIAr C�CTIJTII� AT QT7C HAI�L WHERFAS, the City of has maintained a high quality electio� prooess over the past several years, and WHERFAS, Anoka Ca.vity has served as the tabulatinq center for ballot counting for the past several years, and WHERFAS, the Anoka County cities have experienced si gnif icant population growth resulting in an increase in registered voters, and WHEREAS, many concecns have been expressed by the City Clerks and head election judges relative to the oo�mting prooess at Anoka Camty, and WHERF'A.S, the Cauity Auditor's office has made ooncerted efforts to resolve the procedure problens, and WHERFAS, the cities of Anoka County have made large investments in the Punch Card Voting Fquipnent and are desirous to retain this process, ar�d WHEREA.S, it has been determined that independent ballot cou¢�ting by individual cities would reneciy this problen in the most oost efficient method.

Lefebvre Anoka County Auditor Anoka County Courthouse Anoka, Manresota 55303 Re: Flections Dear C7iuck: In the past, we have all shated a�tual corycern and worked together regarding the �nount of time the election j��3ges have to wait in line at the County on election night. In an attempt to remedy the problem, we have had numerous meetings and discussions with your staff, data processing and the cities. In reviewing the situation in detail, it appears that the only area of ooncern for both the County and the cities with the election procedures is the individual prooess of oounting the batlots. During a number of discussions with Mr. Dick Sivanich, t�e made it very clear to us that if the larger cities would like to take on the process of counting ballots, the County Auditor would be more than willing to entertain discussions regarding this matter. After reviewing the situation ourselves, it appears that the most eff icient and productive method to proceed with would be for the four larger cities to purchase their awn oo�ting equipment, such as the PEPS systen and have their judges go to their own City Hall's on election night. The City Clerks would then tacansport the ballots, forms, supplies and the results to the County. It appears to us that by us accepting the responsibility of our large voting population, we would be able to aid the oounting process at the County, i.e., speec7 it up and rena�ve the concern that we have had regarding the waiting period for our judges on election night. Our cities are grawing and �his means more voters, more precincts and it can only add to the existing problea. I would like to bring to your att�tion that this is the only change in the election process that we reooRm�end. �e renainder of the election process is efficient and any other problems that may develop can be worked out on a one to one basis with the County. We have pursued the matter with our individual City Councils and we have attached for your review oopies of the resolutions authorizing us to begin discussions with you regarding this process. The City Councils are aware of the co�ting process problens and they are supp�rtive of this action. 13 C Mr. Q�arles R. Lefebvre -2- F�ruary 8, 1985 We have worked tagether for many years and we would all like to maintain the same good relationship. With the increase in population and growth, it has be� very difficult for us and for you to serve both the citizens and the cities. Our concerns are for our juc3ges, the candidates and the citizens we serve as we feel we they deserve our best effort. In s�munary, wail.d you please review this letter ana attached resolutions. We would then like to meet with you at your earl�est convenience to discuss whether or not your office would ap�rave and support such action and what fona anc�/or format we can all take to solve our mutual con�erns.
