of a c�rage. He stated his concern is tenants may not want to rent the

q�stion was discussed with the City staff. She stated it has been their
experience that usually there are not sufficient garages to rent. She

O�timcilm�n Schneider stated at the last meeting, staff prwided the Council
with information which had been requested in regard to this request for a
special use permit, He felt the two key issues were the lease agreenent
with Totino-Graae for the Farking and the recr�tiotr3l �sement. He stated
he understan� Totirw-Grace's School Board has not taken a formal action,
6ut the Executive Soard has indicated a favorable g3ssage of the parking
agreenent with Church on the Nbve, He stated in regard to the recreational
� eas�nerit, he questior�ed the duration of this easement. He stated as he
interprets it, if Church on the Move was to sell some of their property, the
easenent teLminates. He felt as long as �urch on the Move is using this
g�roel, the easement s�ould be enforced.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated Church on the Move's legal counsel and
his office have reviewed the preliminary draft for this proposed
recreational ease�nent. He felt there was agreenent that if the Council
proceeds to grant the special use permit, a mutually satisfactory agreanent
can be reached in terms of the easement. He felt the Council was not
aomanitted to exact language in the draft before thsn and changes could be
made.
Co�mcilman Schrieider stated during the ha�ring on this special use permit
ra-�uest, a nun6er of issues were raised regarding potential future use of
this property. He felt there are many questions and problems to be
resolved, if Church on the Move wanted to expand their use of this property.
He felt the� �oL�bly coulchz't meet the code for access onto Gardena and
would look unfavorably on acoess fran Oakwood Manor or Hillcrest Drive. He
stated there is also the issue of the drainage. He stated his concern is,
in several ya�rs, Qzurch on the Move have substantial investment in this
propexty and dic�'t want then to come back with this as the basis of the
arg�nnent to allav ex�nsion. He stated in fairness he wanted to let the
pet�tioner ]maa his feelings and wncerns in regard to any future plans to
' e�nd.
Cotmcilman Barnette questioned the current status in regard to aanership of

this property.
�����
REV. Anderson stated they are waiting for mmpletion of the bond sales and
closing will be in four to six weeks. He stated they have signed an
intermediate mntract to tie then wer before the bonds are sold.
Mr, Herrick felt there was not a problen in proceeding with action on the
speci.al use permit, if it is oontingent upon Church on the Move aaiuiring
fee title.
Ms. Gail Minear, 1291 Gardena Avenue, questioned the alternative plan f or
Farking, if Zbtino-Grace is using their lot.
Rev. Anderson stated this was discussed and it seems there would be a
mnflict only one time of the year when Totino-Grace has a major event. He
stated if there are oonflicts, the�y would use their Camc3en facility for
�arking and bus the Fari�iorers to church sexvioes. He stated Totino-Graoe
is ta give than seven days notice if the� have activities planned and Church
on the Nbve cannot use their Farking so other arrangements can Y�e made.
Mr. Roith, 1314 Hillctest Drive, stated Lroth the lots on Oakwood Manor and
Hillcrest Drive are buildable lots and couldn't see oombining then into one
tax paroel.
Mr. Herrick stated it was his tmderstanding that the lot on Hillcrest Drive
was not to be incluc� d as �art of the main �rcel.
Mr. Roith stated he tmc�rstands the lot on Oakwood Manor could be built on
as it was platted before the present o�de went into effect,
Mr. Robertson stated this was a lec�l lot when it was platted and the only
qtt stion is if it is a legal norrconforming lot at this time.
Mr. Herrick stated if it was mnforming at the time of the glat, it would be
mnsidered a buildable lot.
Re�v. Anderson stated in original discussions, there were thoughts about
selling these two lots in order to make sure there would not be any
drivaaays onto Hillcrest Drive or Oalaaood Manor.
Mr. Herrick stated the lot on Oakwood Manor would be used f or access into
the recreational area. He stated the question of easement access for
vehicles is a seFarate issue fran whether the lot should be included in one
tax �r�l. He stated it could be included as one tax parcel and still
allaa vehicle acoess or excluc� it and allaa vehicle access. He stated if
the lots on Hillcrest Drive and Oakwood Manor are not included with the main
Faroel, thc� wuld be sold and developed as residential Farcels. He stated
if the� are included, a lot split would be necessary before they could be
sol d.
Fev. Anderson stated at the suggestion of the �imcil, he had the attoxney s
for the bond com�ny re-write all the contracts to seg3rately list the

Mr. McLaugtil.in, 1D50 Garc�na Avenue, asked if any action had been taken on
his ra�uest for a traffic si�al at Gardena and Old Central.
Cotmcilman Schneider stated staff suFmitted a traffic study which shaaed
that traffic on Gardena Avenue is oom�rable or less than on other streets
of a similar nature. He stated the Folice reports indicate only two
accic�nts since 1981.
Mr. [+�Laughlin stated the City should review those re�rds as he personally
saw more than two accider�t.s. l�hyor Nee stated the accidents referred to in
the report were adjaoent to Totino-Graoe. Mr. McLaughlin stated there are
certain hours when there is a high concentration of traffic and this
situation is not oovered h� traffic wimts.
Mr. McLaughlin asked if this site meets the Comprehensive Plan. Mr.
Rabertson stated the policy statenents of the Comprehensive Plan incluc� the
whole idea c� neic�borhood servioes in residential areas and the Zomng Code
allaas ciiurches in residential areas with a special use permit.
Mr. McLaughlin stated his ooncern is there has been no specific review of
this pro�osal relative to the Comprehensive Plan. He stated he objected to
� granting a special use permit on the k�asis of a�rkinq agreement with
Zbtino-Grace. He stated the difference in what is required and what is
available ra�uires a varianae and questior�d if Churdi on the Move appl ied
for a varianoe.
Cotmcilman Schneider stated 180 stalls is r�uired and Totino-Grace has 260
stalls available. He stated the whole key is that Church on the Nlove
obtains the lease agreenent for �arking with Zbtirm-Grace.
Ms. Olga Palmer, 1329 Gardena Avenue, asked if signalization cannot be
prwided, if a three-way stop muld be installed on the east side of Gardena
and on the north and south sides of Old Central,
Mr. P7ora, Public Works Ihrector, stated the d�imty �ntrols Old Central so
the City ooul�'t install sic�age on this street. He stated the traffic on
Old Central between Rice Creek Road and Highway 65 is presently being
revie,aed and it is proposed to limit access �ntinuing south on Old Central
and prwide better mwenent of traffic along Rice Creek Road.
Cotmcilman Schneic�r stated the only rationale for denying a special use
permit has to be in the areas of health, public safety or welfare. He felt
if the special use permit i5 granted, it should 6e rEViewed in six months so
any problens oould be addressed at the end of this period.

Mr. Robertson, Commtmity Develognent Director, stated staff conducted a
stuc� on the ratio of Ferking versus s�uare footage at clinics in Fridley.
He stated the FridlEy Plaza Qinic and Fridley Medical Clinic both have a
ratio oP one Farking sta11 per 175 s3iare feet of floor area. He stated Dr.
' I�hl. is proposing to w�struct a clinic with 6,400 s�uare feet in addition
to the existng clinic which contains 1,600 square feet. He stated this
would be a Farking of ratio of one stall for e.�ery 205 s3uare feet of floor
area. He stated if the new clinic was reduced from 8,000 to 7,500 s�uare
feet, four additional Farking sFaoes tuuld �e added to increase the p3rking
ratio of one stall for every 150 s�uare feet,
Mr. Robertson stated in rEViewing the reqturements of neighhoring cities,
most re3uire one Farking stall for every 150 square feet of floor area,
havever, New Srighton requires one sFarn for every 200 s�uare feet.
Dr. Dahl, the petitioner, felt there was a major difference between a
medical clinic and chiropractic clinic, He stated he wntacted the Fridley
Medical Qinic and was told they have approximately 20 medical cbctors with
one nurse per doctor, six assistants and 20 or more clerical personnel. He
stated the� have 50 or more staff personnel at any one time using their
Farlung. He felt if this was taken into consideration, it changes the
nunbers rather drastically. He stated the real issue comes down if the
ratio should be 1 to 175 or 1 to 205. He stated he presently has a staff of
six people and if this cbubles, it would be a�nazing. He stated if you take

appears to be very minimal. Dr. Dahl stated, in regard to staff's
recommenchtion to reduce the building b� 500 feet, he didn't know how t�ris
would affect the interior layout as he hasn't had time to rc�iew it.

� Dr. L�hl felt the Cxty has guarantees through the zoning and the �rking
requirenents. He stated he felt there is more Farking than thzy will ever
need and dich't think it would pose a problen.
Coimcilman Schneider felt there should be sane modification to either reduc�
the s�uare footage of the building or to have a commitment that if
additional �arking is needed, the existing building would be removed to
allaa for �arking,
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, felt because of the size of the p�rcel, the
strictest interpretation of the ordinance should be eriforced which is a
�arking ratio of one stall for every 150 square feet of floor area. He
stated a suggestion made was to allow the developnent and if there is a
parlung problan in the future, the existing building would be removed to
Fx'wide �rking s�aoe. He stated the City has experienced problems with
Farking at clinics and wanted to avoid these problens in the future.
Dr. Dahl stated he has a problem in meeting requirments that are more
stringer�t. than those apglied in other cases.
N�yor Nee stated it mmes d�an to the fact that it has to be possible for
Dr. Ik'�h7. to �ark all the vehicles on his property, He stated the problen
arises because Dr. Ihhl wishes to keep the existing builchng and add another
6,400 s�uare foot txrild�.ng.
� Dr. Ik�hl asked if ha muld construct the proposed building of 6,400 square
feet and keep the e�.sting buildinq, if he agreed to remove the existing
building if a parlung problen azose.
Mr. Qureshi stated if there is a problen, at the City's discretion, Dr. Ikzhl
would have to �wide �arkinq on the Y�asis of a ore �arking stall for every
150 s�uare feet of floor area,
�imcilman Schneider questioned hav an aqreement could be enfotced if Dr.
Dahl felt there was enough parking and the City did not feel it was
suEficient.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated there would have to be a written
agreenent L� both Farties and made applicable to any future aaners of the
property and reoorded. He stated if the City made a determination that
there was a�arking problen and ordered the building to be removed and Dr.
I�hl or his sucoessor refused, the question would have to go to the wurts
and obtain a ludge's order to enforoe it. He stated he imagir�d the burden
would be on the City to shav the meaning of the agreenent and facts that
there was a�rking problen and the agreenent should be enforced.
Dr. Ik�hl stated one of the stipulations was imprwenents were to be made to
the existing structure to match the riew oonstruction. He stated if there is
the Fntential that in the futuze this building may te zenwed, he questioned
� if he had to make the imprwenents.
Mt. Qureshi felt to make the developnent cohesive the exteriors of the

6uildings should be Yhe �ne. He felt another option is to reduoe the size
of the new huilding in order to �swide additional Iarking.
Councilman Schneider stated he believed the Council is trying to do
everything to make this work for Dr. Dahl, as his proposal involves a
rezoning and five varianoes to allav izao buildi.ngs on a single lot. He felt
Dr. Ik�hl should suhnit a propo�al on haa he would meet the mde if there was
a problen,
Mr. Herrick suggested the staff and Dr. Dahl draft a document they both
agree upon and sutanit it to his off�ce fox review before the Council
aonsiders it.
Dr. Dahl asked if there would be any allavanoes in the ratio of one parking
stall for every 150 square feet of floor area, without an agreement. He
questioned if the size of the new buildi.ng was reduced to meet a ratio of
one stall for every 175 s�uare feet, if this would be acceptable.
I�hyor Nee suggested he meet with staff as he felt some of the nunbers should
be workable.

mNGmFgATrON OF �tE50Li�'�'ION TO APPROVE SIX CITIES WATERSHED MANAGEMENT
OitGANIZATION PLAN:
Cotmcilman Fitz�atrick stated he dic�'t agree with the proaess of sulanitting
something for oumment. He felt when comments were invited and none are
made, it is taken as appraval of c�tails that aren't being considered. He
stated this is a process he doesn't quit'e trust and didn't know what would
he acoompli:�ed k� adopting the resolution.
CoLmcilman Barnette felt the last paragraph of the resolution gives the
Cowzcil the right to review specific plans, wsts, and City �articixation.
Mr. Flora, Public Work Director, stated the Watershed Management
Organization has prepared the plan which o:�nsists of goals, philosophies,
and policies for capital unprwsnents. He stated Fridley is identified with
fine different projects and felt the resolution states that the Council
withhol� ariy mmment until further information is received in regard to
specific plans, oosts, and City Fartici�ation.
Cotmcilman EYt2�atrick felt this resolution was an attempt to address his
oonozrns, but would plaoe the Cotmcil in a difficult situation where they
c�legate authority to anather boci� to ord�r in a project.
Mayor Nee stated in the 7oint powers agreement for this Six Cita.es Watershed
Orcpnization, the Coimcil probably already accepted a certain amount of
risk.

� Mr. Flora stated the plan is sukmitted to various agencies for comment and
then is fonrarded to the Water Resouroes Board which has the authority for
apprwal. He stated once the Water Resouroes Board approves the plan, the
plan is sutmitted kack to the cities to adopt ordinanes to make it work. He
stated he dic3�'t ]mow what other agencies would oomment and dichz't know the
imFect. He stated if the City states thc-y don't support the plan, he would
assune the Water Resouroes Board woul�'t apprwe the plan. He stated only
one has been apprwed so far so he dich't Imaa what comments or apprwal, or
disapprwal, me3ns within the systen.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he thinks the purpose of having a
watershed District is to prwide authority to the governing body of that
district to deal with problsns that transcend municipal boundaries. He
stated when the six cities involved agreed to organize and support this
orc,enization, some authority was given up over decisions that are made for
the land within this district. He stated this probably has both pluses and
minuses, He stated on the plus side, there is a group that has aontrol wer
areas which supply the water that eventually r�s throuc� the district. He
stated on the minus side, the Council gave up some of the authority you
would have had, if the district hadn't been organized. He stated the
evential. decisiott is on the Water Resources Boarcl and was sure they would
look at the plan and oomments. He felt the fact that sane organizations may
have regative mmments cbesn't neaessarily mean the Water Resources Board
would agree with those comments. He stated, at this stage, it is
� oonoeivable some project may be ap�wed to whidi this Coimcil is opposed.
Coimcilman Fita�atrick questioned the taxing or assessing authority. Mr.
Herrick stated he hasn't looked at the Statute reaently, but his
tmderstanding is the district has this authority.
Coimcilman FitaFatrick asked if the City has the right to delegate this
authority. Mr. Herrick stated the State Legislature authorized the
er�ctment of the district. He stated he could supply the Council with a
meno, after he researched it further.
Mr. Flora stated the plan is specific in that it refers to p3rticular
Exoblens in watershed districts. He felt Coimcilman FYtzpatrick's wnerns
are addressed in that the plan states that none of the projects could be
acmmplished in the City, without a joint pawers agreenem executen with the
other �rties involved, with the excepkion of Oak Glen Creek which is
located entirely in Fridley. He stated if this plan is not appraved, the
Coimty would take wer this task and oome up with their aan plan.
FDTION t� Coimcilman Barnette to adopt this resolution to approve the Six
Cities Watershed Management Organization Plan. MAYOR NEE DECC.ARED THE
rDTION FAII.ID E�R LACK OF A SE�ND.
Mr. F7.ora stated the City has 60 days to comment and af ter this time, it
proceeds to other agencies for review and comment. He stated all the
' revieas and commerits are forwarded to the Water Resources Board so the plan
oo�inues to be processed at this time.

Coimcilman Barnette asked what mimnents were re�ived fran the other cities
irn�olved.
Mr. Flora stated Col�nnbia Heights didn't support two of the projects,
Hilltop and Blaine apprwed the plan, Coon Rapids had no mmment, and Spring
Lake Park was mnsic3ering it this evening and understands that, basically,
they would apprwe it.
Coimcil�n Goodspeed asked if it would be better to forward the plan with
nec$tive aomonents.
t�hyor Nee felt the �gative oomments would be the Council didn't want the
problens mrrected and dich't feel it would be a true statenent.
Councilman Schneider stated he dichi't think anyone disagreed with the
problens to be resolved, but it is the process, and didn't want to go on
re�rd apprwing it not ]mawing all the implications.
Mr. Herrick stated the State Legislature has stated that m�miciFalities are
not solving the surfaoe water Fxoblens and the watershed distncts would be
established and have authority to solve the problens, xe felt if the
Coimcil dich't have any mmments, the prooess would continue and, when the
glan is reoeived L� the Water Resouroes Board, they will note the City had
no mmmerit and prokxzbly would inter�set that to mean the Coimcil d�.dn't have
