MEMORANDUM
u-nroF
FR! DLEY
DATE: October 5, 1989
T0: Barbara Dacy, Planning Coordinator
FROM: Michele McPherson, Planning Assistant
SUBJECT: Conoco Inc. Variance; 7600 University Avenue
N.E.
Per your request date(i October 3, 1989, I have researched the
Conoco building file for any potential sign variances that were
previously granted to the parcel at 7600 University Avenue N.E.
In my research, I have found three variance requests for this
parcel.
Variance Request #1: In July of 1968, a variance was granted by
the Appeals Commission for an increase in the amount of signage for
the building at 7600 University Avenue N.E. The sign variance
granted by the Appeals Commission was for an increase in signage
from 1,184 square feet to 1,776 square feet. The total square
footage included signage on all four walls of the building and one
rotating pylon sign. Exact square footage of the wall and pylon
signs are unknown.
Variance Request #2: In August of 1983, the variance request was
to increase the allowable square footage of siqnage from 80 square
feet to 183 square feet. The Appeals Commission voted to recommend
approval of a five square foot increase from 80 square feet to 85
square feet. The City Council on October 17, 1983 denied the
variance request to increase the allowable signage from 80 square
feet to 183 square feet. The petitioner at that time was not
interested in a compromise on the square footage, so the five
square foot variance was also denied.
Variance Request #3: In August of 1984, a variance was requested
which was not associated with signage. It allowed a reduction of
hardsurface setback from the required 20 feet to 10 feet, to allow
the widening of an entry driveway. This was approved by both the
Appeals Commission and City Council.

COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 13 1989:
A. CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL USE PERMIT. SP #89-14, TO
ALLOW ENTERPRISES HAVING MERCHANDISE IN THE OPEN AND
NOT WITHIN AN ENCLOSED STRUCTURE; TO ALLOW EXTERIOR
STORAGE OF MATERIALS AND E4UIPMENT, LOCATED AT 7191
HIGHWAY 65 N.E. BY TED HAINES AND DIANE JORGENSON
FOR CITY SPORTS•
Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated this property was the
subject to a rezoning application earlier this year in order to
FRIDLEY CITY COQNCIL KEETINQ OF OCTOBER 2. 1989 PAGE 3
allow a snowmobile dealership to locate in this building. She
stated the petitioner is now requesting a special use permit for
outdoor display and exterior storage.
Ms. Dacy stated the outdoor display entails locating four vehicles
on the southwest corner of the building. She stated the petitioner
proposes to extend the existing sidewalk towards Highway 65. She
stated these display vehicles would consist of snowmobiles,
personal watercraft, and all terrain vehicles. She stated the
vehicles would be displayed during business hours and stored inside
at the conclusion of business hours.
Ms. Dacy stated the outdoor storage includes an area immediately
to the rear of the building and another to the rear of the parking
lot. She stated the petitioner proposes to enclose the storage
areas with an eight foot chain link fence with slats.
Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
special use permit subject to six stipulations as found on Page 2R
of the Council's agenda.
Councilman Schneider asked if there was a sprinkler system at this
location.
Mr. Olson, representing City Sports, stated he did not believe the
site had a sprinkler system.
Ms. Dacy stated if this is not the case, underground sprinklers
would be required as an additional stipulation.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if prospective buyers would be able
to use these vehicles in the City for trial runs.
Mr. Olson stated this would not be done in Fridley. He stated they
have a dealership in Forest Lake and if a buyer desired to try a
vehicle, they would use that facility.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to concur with the recommendation
of the Planning Commission and grant Special Use Permit, SP #89-
14, with the following stipulations: (1) the display vehicles
shall be confined at the southwest corner of the building on the
sidewalk; (2) the storage areas shall be screened with an eight
foot chain link fence with slats; (3) the materials to be stored
shall not exceed the eight foot height of the fence; (4) the
petitioner shall submit a landscaping plan to include the
installation of ivy plantings along the chain link fence line
exposed to 72nd Avenue, and trees and shrubs to replace any dead
or dying vegetation along the 72nd Avenue boulevard and to provide
additional screening along the street. The landscape plan shall
include an underground sprinkling system; (5) the parking spaces
along the south side of the building shall be five feet from the
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETZNa OF OCTOBER 2. 1989 PAGE 4
building; (6) permission to display up to four snowmobiles,
personal watercraft, and a�l terrain vehicles. Seconded by
Councilwoman Jorgenson.
Councilman Billings stated he would abstain from voting on this
motion as his son is employed by an associate of Mr. Haines.
Councilman Billings stated at the Planning Conumission meeting there
was discussion about barbed wire on top of the fence. He felt in
all fairness to the petitioner, it should be stated if barbed wire
is included for the fencing.
Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission felt the City could not
prevent the installation of the barbed wire and if the petitioner
wished it installed, they would have no objection.
Councilman Schneider questioned if the City Code allows the
installation of barbed wire.
Ms. Dacy stated she is not aware of any section of the code that
prohibits the use of barbed wire.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated there may be a section of the
code which refers to barbed wire fences, but he felt it would not
apply in this case as the fence is eight foot high and not at
ground level. He felt the barbed wire would help to prevent theft.
Councilman Billings stated he wanted it clear to the petitioner
that if barbed wire was not prohibited in the code, he could
install it on the fence.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, Councilman Schneider,
Councilwoman Jorgenson, Mayor Nee and Councilman Fitzpatrick voted
in favor of the motion. Councilman Billings abstained from voting.
Mayor Nee declared the motion carried.

3. CONSIDERATION OF ITEMS FROM THE MINUTES OF THE APPEALS
COMMISSION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 19, 1989:
A. CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE, VAR #89-21. TO REDUCE THE
FRONT YARD SETBACK FROM 35 FEET TO 29 FEET; TO REDUCE
THE SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM A LIVING AREA FROM 10 FEET
TO 7 FEET 10 INCHES, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF
ADDITTONAL LIVING SPACE ON LOTS 37 AND 38, BLOCK E.
RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS. THE SAME BEING 590 KIMBALL STREET
N.E., BY ROBERT FRANZEN:
Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated this is a request for two
variances, one to reduce the front yard setback from 35 to 29 feet
and the other to reduce the side yard setback from 10 feet to 7
feet 10 inches to permit an addition onto the front of an existing
home. She stated staff has recommended denial of the variances as
other options have been identified for this addition.
Ms. Dacy stated the Appeals Commission, on a 3 to 1 vote,
recommended approval of the front yard variance request, and by a
unanimous vote approved the side yard variance. She stated there
were homeowners in the area who objected to the variance. Ms. Dacy
stated the encroachment into the side yard is already existing.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to grant that portion of the
Variance, VAR #89-21, to reduce the side yard setback from a living
area from 10 feet to 7 feet 10 inches. Seconded by Councilman
Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated the problem is the home is small and
the variance is requested to add onto the living room area in order
to relieve overcrowding. He stated with this proposed addition,
the encroachment would be six feet into the front yard setback.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to grant that portion of the
Variance, VAR #89-21, to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet
to 29 feet. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
B. CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE. VAR #89-22. TO REDUCE THE
SIDE YARD SETBACK ON A CORNER LOT FROM 17.5 FEET TO
11.1 FEET. TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION
ON LOTS 1 AND 2, BLOCK 5, FLORENCE PARK ADDITION.
THE SAME BEING 6370 VAN BUREN STREET N.E.. BY VERA
A. PHILLIPS:
Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated this is a request for a
variance to reduce the side yard setback on a corner lot from 17.5
feet to 11.1 feet to allow the construction of an addition. She
stated the Appeals Commission noted the intent of the 17.5 foot
setback was to provide visual clearance and this variance would not
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETINa OF OCTOBER 2. 1989 PAGE 6
cause an encroachment that would go beyond the existing line of the
building wall or further encroach into the side corner yard
setback. She stated, therefore, the Appeals Commission recommended
approval, even though staff recommended denial.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to concur with the recommendation
of the Appeals Commission and grant the Variance, VAR #89-22, to
reduce the side yard setback on a corner lot from 17.5 feet to il.l
feet. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
C. CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE, VAR #89-23, TO REDUCE THE
' SIDE YARD SETBACK FOR AN ACCESSORY BUILDING ON A CORNER
LOT FROM 30 FEET TO 20 FEET, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A SINGLE FAMILY HOME AND ATTACHED GARAGE ON LOT 15
BLOCK 2, RIVERWOOD PARK, THE SAME BEING 7100 RIVERWOOD
DRIVE N.E.. BY O. B. ZACHMANN:
Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated this building site was the
subject of a variance request in 1986 when a larger home was
proposed for this lot than what the petitioner is now proposing.
She stated the variance approved in 1986 allowed a reduction in the
front and rear yard setbacks. Ms. Dacy stated the variance became
null and void since no action was taken in the one year time frame.
Ms. Dacy stated this variance request is to reduce the side yard
setback for an accessory building on a corner lot from 30 to 20
feet for the construction of a home and attached garage. She
stated adjacent property owners were concerned regarding the
elevations and grading of this property. She stated staff
investigated this issue and found there was about a four to five
foot difference in elevation between this lot and the lot to the
north. She stated two to four feet of fill will be placed on the
property so the change in elevation, at most, would be three feet
or even with the elevation of the property to the north.
Ms. Dacy stated the Appeals Commission recommended denial of this
variance due to the fact that there is adequate buildable area and
other design alternatives for construction of a home on this lot.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated as he understands, one of the
objections to the variance was the property owner to the north did
not want to look at the back of the garage. He stated he also
understands that if the petitioner is forced to construct a
detached garaga, he could not only build into the 30 foot setback,
but actually build the garage all the way to the west up to three
feet from his rear yard. He stated this would expose a great deal
more of the garage to the neighbor to the north.
Mayor Nee asked if the persons who objected to the variance were
aware it would be considered by the Council this evening.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCZL 1�88TINa OF OCT0H8R 2, 1989 PAGS 7
Ms. Dacy stated the Appeals Commission stated this variance request
would be submitted to the Council on October 2, 1989.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he understands some of the neighbors
signed a petition indicating they were aware of the request and had
no objections, with the exception of one person who wanted to think
about it.
Mayor Nee asked what Mr. Schreifels meant when he stated at the
Appeals Commission meeting that "it would be the only house on the
block that would extend beyond the other houses." Ms. Dacy stated
she believed he was referrinq to the rear of the homes because the
front yard setback would be maintained.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated this lot has a history of problems
with development. He stated the variances granted in 1986 were
more extensive than wk�at is now being requested and this variance
seems reasonable.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to grant the Variance, VAR #89-
23, to reduce the side yard setback for an accessory building on
a corner lot from 30 feet to 20 feet. Seconded by Councilman
Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.
D. CONSIDERATION OF A VARIANCE. VAR #89-24. TO INCREASE
THE TOTAL S4UARE FOOTAGE OF SIGNAGE FROM 80 S4UARE
FEET TO 220 SOUARE FEET �2 PRICE SIGNS.AT 110 SQUARE
FEET EACH) ON IAT 1, BLOCK 1, COMMERCE PARK, THE SAME
BEING 7600 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., BY CONOCO. INC.:
Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated this is a request to
increase the total square footage of signage from 80 square feet
to 220 square feet. She stated the Sign Ordinance allows
properties to have more than one freestandinq pylon sign if it has
more than one street frontage, however, the total square feet must
not exceed 80. She stated the petitioner has adequate means to
advertise the business with an 80 square foot sign, as wall signage
is permitted as well.
Ms. Dacy stated Conoco is petitioninq for this variance as they are
refurbishing this site of the Jet Mart Station.
Ms. Dacy stated the Appeals Commission recommended denial of this
variance request. She stated staff has since received infonaation
from Conoco that they wish to reduce their request to have one 110
square foot sign, rather than two signs of 110 square feet each.
She stated the petitioner is present this evening and may wish to
confirm this request.
Ms. Connie Lutton, District Manager for Conoco, stated when they
originally submitted the variance request, they were under the
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 2. 1989 PAGE 8
impression that 80 square feet per siqn was allowed. She stated
she would like to change the variance request to have only one sign
at 110 square feet.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, asked if there was some particular
reason why they needed a 110 square foot sign.
Ms. Lutton stated it is a standard sign that Conoco uses throughout
the company.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, asked staff if they knew the range of
variances allowed in the past.
Ms. Dacy stated Viking Chevrolet had a sign up to 200 square feet.
She stated several other applications for sign variances were
received from other gas station owners, with most of them being
denied. {
Ms. Lutton stated Fina has a 196 square foot sign.
The Regional Manager stated a variance was received in 1985 to add
to their sign when they wished to advertise diesel fuel.
Ms. Dacy stated this variance is not reflected in the master list
of variances which dates back to 1981.
Councilman Billings stated he was prepared to concur with the
recommendation of the Appeals Commission to deny this variance
request for the two signs totaling 220 square feet, however, he
would like the item tabled to the next meeting for staff to
research the size of the existing sign and check if a variance was
granted at this location in 1985.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to table this item until the next
regular meeting. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.
4. CONSIDERATION TO CLOSE PROJECT #629. CRIME PREVENTION, AND
RETURN UNUSED CDBG FUNDS TO ANOKA COUNTY:
Mr. Robertson, Community Development Director, stated the City
received $15,500 in CDBG funds to conduct a security program for
low and moderate income households by installation of security
locks. He stated a portion of the funds were to be used in the
actual implementation and a portion for administrative and
advertising costs. He stated there is a surplus in the
administrative and advertising fees of $1,023.73 and this should
be returned to Anoka County.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to authorize staff to notify Anoka
County that Crime Prevention Project #629 authorized in 1986 is
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL I�EETING OF OCTOBER 2, 1989 PAGE 9
completed and return the unused funds to Anoka County. Seconded
by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, mayor
Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
5. C�NSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF CONTRACT FOR TIRE RECYCLING DAY:
Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated at the Council's request,
staff investigated the proposal for a tire recycling day. She
stated October 28, 1989 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Community Park
is being suggested as the date for this tire recycling.
Ms. Dacy stated the City has received donations from the Fridley
VFW Post 363 and Fridley Lion's Club for the hazardous household
waste cleanup and these orqanizations have been approached if the
donations could be used towards this tire recycling project. She
stated the Council authorized $10,000 towards the hazardous
household waste cleanup and if the VFW and Lion's Club cannot
contribute to this project, staff would like permission to use this
$i0,000 allocated by the Council.
Ms. Dacy stated two phone quotes have been received for the
transfer and disposal of the tires and Maust Fiber Fuels of Savage,
Minnesota quoted the lowest price of $1,000 per trailer plus $12.50
an hour for a laborer to receive the tires. She stated a second
trailer would cost an additional $1,000 and the estimated cost to
receive and transfer the tires is $2,090.
Ms. Dacy stated staff recommends limiting the number of tires per
Fridley household to six and requiring payment of $1.00 per tire
over six tires.
Ms. Dacy stated authorization is requested for the City Attorney
to draft an agreement with Maust Fiber Fuels to provide theiz
services during the tire recycling day. She stated staff has
submitted a draft of the flyer which will be mailed to Fridley
residents and would like to know if the Council wished any changes.
Mayor Nee stated this has been a project that Councilwoman
Jorgenson initiated and has done a lot of work in this area.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated she felt it was important to get
these tires recycled and out of residents' back yards. She stated
it is hoped that identification will be required of residents
dropping off their tires to make sure funds are used for City
residents.
MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to direct staff to continue
working with VFW Post 363 and the Lion's Club to acquire the
necessary funds to proceed with this tire recyclinq project. If
staff is not able to obtain funding for the entire amount, that
the Council's previous allocation of $10,000 for the household
hazardous waste cleanup be ysed. Further, staff is instructed to
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 2. 1989 PAGE 10

can tie the 21 monitors together.
Mr. Hunt stated there are some alternatives such as a direct cable
to the Fire Department and Police Emergency Operation Center.
Mayor Nee asked if the cable company charges the City for each of
these locations.
Mr. Hunt stated the cable company has not charged the City for
anything coming into the City Hall and they have provided premium
services over the years.
Councilman Schneider asked what service is actually covered in this
change order.
Mr. Hunt stated Electronic Interiors would design a distribution
system so that the City can receive a signal from the VCR or any
particular channel to any one of the monitors. He stated there
would be two basic inputs, one is the City's own recorder and the
other is the siqnal from the cable company. He stated the cable
is in place with the home run system and each external monitor has
its own line to the headend, but none are energized.

Variance Request, VAR #89-24, Conoco Inc.
The City Council tabled action on this variance request because the
petitioner revised the request from two signs at 220 square feet
to one sign at 110 square feet. Further, the owner of the Jet
Station indicated that a variance for a sign qreater than 80 square
feet had been approved by the City previously.
Attached is a memorandum summarizing the variance requests for this
property. In August of 1983, a variance request was filed to
increase the signage from 80 square feet to 183 square feet. The
Appeals Commission recommended approval of a 5 square foot
increase, from 80 to 85 square feet; however, the City Council
denied the request since the petitioner at that time would not
compromise on the square footage from 183 square feet to 85 square
feet .
The City Council also wanted to know the square footage of the
existing free-standing Jet Station sign. The free-standing sign
consists of several small signs. According to the sign permit, the
signs total 75 square feet.
RECOMMENDATION
Attached is the staff report for the original request. Despite the
fact that the request has been reduced from two signs at 220 square
feet to one sign at 110 square feet, the request does not meet the
criteria for a variance as required by the sign ordinance.
Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council deny the variance
request to increase the square footaqe for a free-standinq pylon
sign from 80 sguare feet to 110 square feet.

A. PUBLIC PURPOSE OF REQUIREMENT:
Bection 214.11.02.(B) requires a maximum size of 80 sq. ft.
in area of signage per development.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual
pollution and excessive use of signs in commercial areas.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
No stated hardship.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Reciuest
Conoco, owner of the Jet Mart Station located on Lot 2, Block
1, Commerce Park, the same being 7600 University Avenue N.E.,
is requesting a variance to the siqn ordinance for an increase
in allowable sign area from 80 sq. ft. to 220 sq. ft. The 220
sq. ft. will be divided between two free-standing signs, one
located on the University Avenue frontage and one located on
the Osborne Avenue frontage.
Site
The site is located on a loop-back parcel on the corner of
Osborne Road and University Avenue and is the site of what was
the old Jet Mart Station south of and across from the
University Station Restaurant and Bob's Produce.
Conoco is proposing to replace the existing yellow facade with
the Conoco colors. Conoco is also refurbishing the pump
island canopies and the gas dispensing pumps.
Analysis
Conoco is requesting an increase in the allowable sign area
from 80 sq. ft. to 220 sq. ft. Their standard free-standing
pricing signs contain four areas for gas prices and also
contain the Conoco sign logo. This combination of signage for
each free standing sign totals 110 sq. ft. This is 30 sq. ft.
larger than the 80 sq. ft. currently allowed by the City Sign
Code. Conoco is requesting that the City grant a variance to
allow them to place two of these 110 sq. ft. siqns on their
parcel. As stated earlier, they are redoing the facade on the
building, and there will be no signage or lettering placed on
this facade. During the canopy remodeling, Conoco will
replace the existing diesel signs with the Conoco Iogo.
3C
Staff Report
VAR #89-24, Conoco
Paqe 3
Section 214.21.03 of the City Sign Code sets forth four
conditions which the applicant must prove in order for the
Commission to grant a variance to the City Sign Code. The
following analysis will analyze each of the four conditions:
Condition A: "That there are exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property or to the intended
use that do not apply generally to other property in the same
vicinity and district."
As was stated earlier, the property in question is not an
exceptional circumstance. The City has several loopback
properties which occur at many of the intersections along the
major corridors in the City. These parcels typically are
surrounded on all sides by street frontages, and many of these
loopback parcels contain automobile, motor fuel and oil
dispensing stations. Other properties similar to this have
been restricted to one free-standing sign to advertise prices
and company logos, so restricting Conoco to one 80 sq. ft.
sign would not be atypical.
Condition B: "That the variance is necessary for the
preservation and enjoyment of the substantial property right
possessed by other properties in the same vicinity and
district, but which is denied to the property in question."
The petitioner can still install 80 sq. ft. of signage on the
free-standing sign, and the petitioner has the option of wall
signage. By denying the variance, the staff is not denying
the petitioner's right to have signage.
Condition C: "That the strict application of the chapter
would constitute an unnecessary hardship."
The strict application of the Fridley Sign Ordinance would not
create an undue hardship for the petitioner. As was stated
earlier, currently Conoco does not plan any signage for the
facade of the building. Under the Code, Conoco is allowed to
have wall signage equal to 15 times the square root of the
length of the wall. Conoco could place some of its additional
signage on the facade of the building, especially on the west
wall of the building which would alert the drivers who are
driving east on Osborne to the pricing that Conoco has for its
products.
Condition D: "That the granting of the variance would not be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety, or
general welfare, or detrimental to the property in the
vicinity or district in which the property is located."
3D
Staff Report
VAR #89-24, Conoco
Page 4
Granting a variance would not necessarily be detrimental to
the health and safety of the general public. However,
granting the sign variance for two pylon signs of 110 sq. ft.
each would contribute to the amount of visual congestion a
driver would see as he travels through the Osborne and
University Avenue intersection.
Recommendation
Staff recommends denial of the variance request, VAR #89-24,
by Conoco to increase the allowable square footage of signage
for a development from 80 sq. ft. to 220 sq. ft., to be
divided over two free-standing signs, on the basis that the
petitioner does �ot meet all of the criteria for variances as
listed in the Sign Ordinance. The petitioner can install an
80 sq. ft. sign which is required of other establishments in
the general vicinity of the Conoco site. The petitioner also
has the option of using the walls of the building in which to
place additional signage.
Appeals Commission Action
The Appeals Commission voted unanimously to recommend denial
of the variance request, VAR #89-24, to the City Council.
City Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Appeals
Commission's action and also deny the variance request.
3E
ZPPEALS COMMISSION KEETZNG, BEPTEMBER 19. 1989 - P�GE li
can be constn�cted without any variances. Even with the proposed
house plan, the garage could be detached, and there would be n
need for a variance. Also, because of the history of e
development in the area, he would have to vote aqainst his
variance.
Dr. Vos stated he is also opposed to the variance. Ther are quite
a few different ways the house and qarage could fit o he Iot that
could satisfy the petitioner and the neiqhbors. He id not see any
hardship that made it necessary to encroach 10 . into the rear
yard setback.
'� Ms. Savage agreed with Mr. Barna and Dr Vos. She hoped the
petitioner and the neighbors can work tog her and find a solution.
Mr. Kuechle stated he is also in ge ral agreement with what has
been said. A variance should no be needed in a new plat like
this. He was sympathetic to the titioner; however, he felt there
is someway the house can fit the lot without a variance. He
would vote against the vari ce.

Pursuant to Section 214.11.02.(b) of the Fridley City Code to
increase the total square footage of siqnage from 80 sq. ft.
to 220 sq. ft. (2 price siqns at 110 sq. ft. each), on Lot 1,

8II8LIC HEARING OPEN AT 9:13 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the cld Jet Mart Station is beinq refurbished
by Conoco, Inc. The property is zoned C-2, General Business. The
maximum allowable square footage for a free-standinq eign is 80 sq.
3F
�PPEALS COM?lISBION 1iEETZNG. BEPTEMBER 19. 1989 - P�QE 12
ft. Conoco, Snc., is requestinq an increase in the allowable siqn
area for two free-standing siqns, one on the University �venue
irontage and one on tAe Osborne Road frontaqe, at 110 sq. ft. each.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is also proposinq to replace
the existing diesel signs with the Conoco logo on the canopies over
the pump islands. That is not a part of the variance. In
addition, they are remodeling and repainting the exterior of the
existing building. Conoco has removed the existing facia, and at
this point, do not have any plans to utilize that wall space for
additiona? signage. Staff states that the petitioner could use
this wall space for additional square footage of signage, and that
this particular parcel is similar to other loopback parcels in the
City that have similar uses, are zoned similarly, and have been
limited to the one 80 sq. ft. siqn. In staff's opinion, the
petitioner does not any special condition that creates a hardship
for the petitioner as they have other alternatives to place signage
an the building as allowed under the Sign Code. For that reason,
staff is recommending denial of this variance.
Ms. Connie Lutton, District Manager for Conoco, Inc., stated she
represents the Fridley area. She stated Conoco, in its reimaging
program, has eliminated the bright yellow color and has restricted
all signage on the facia. Unfortunately, Fridley's 6iqn code
varies from Conoco's new image. She stated there will be one
Conoco emblem per canopy.
Ms. Lutton stated that when they are completely done with the
remodeling, the station will lose some of its recognition because
it will not stand out as it did with the bright yellcw. Because
of that, they will lose some of their customer base. She stated
they need two signs so that they will be visible to traffic on both
University Avenue and Osborne Road. There is no way of angling one
sign so that the logo and price of gas can be visible from both
roadways.
Ms. McPherson stated staff has discussed with the petitioner that
they must modify the existing site plan to allow the sign to meet
the required 10 ft. setback from Osborne Road. They will be adding
aciditional green area and moving the sign to comply trith the 10 ft.
setback from Osborne Road.
OM TION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to close the public
hearing.

P�BLIC HE!►RZNG CLOSED AT 9:26 P.K.
Ms. Savage stated she is glad to hear that the yellow color is
going. She thought that yellow station was one of the worst
eyesores on University Avenue. She stated she feels very strong2y
about signs, and that excessive siqns, like billboards, are visual
3G
�PPE�LB CO?�fI88ION KEETINa. BBPTEI�iBER 19. 1989 - p�GE 13
pollutants. There is no hardship. �pparently, the �moco station
across the street does not have a variance for its siqn. She is
opposed to even one sign that would exceed the 80 aq. ft. allowed,
and certainly wculd be oppased to two of them. She would vote
against the variance request.
Irir. Kuechle stated he is in agreement. If they have 1'�ot allowed
other stations and businesses in similar situations to have
variances, it would be very difficult to approve it in this case.
Dr. Vos stated he certainly did not see the need for two siqns.
Even one sign at 110 sq. ft. is a 40$ increase over what is allowed
which seems excessive. Since there are "quick stop" stations along
University Avenue and Highway 65 which seem to do quite well, he
felt fairly confident Conoco could compete in the market with an
80 sq. ft. sign.
Mr. Barna stated the Amoco station cn the northeast corner of
Osborne/University is completely within the siqn code. The car
wash and station at 73rd/University Avenue was qiven no siqn
variance, and the SuperAmerica on East River Road/University was
given no sign variance, so in this surrounding area, everyone seems
to be doing alright with 80 sq. ft. Conoco can always put siqnage
on the building even though they do not want to. He stated he
would also be opposed to any variance in increasing the allowable
square footage for signage.
OTION by Ms. Savage, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to recommend to City
Council denial of variance request, VAR �89-24, by Conoco, Inc.,
pursuant to Section 214.11.02.(b) of the Fridley City Code to

FROM: 11ILLIAM C. HIINT, l�SSISTANT TO THE CITY MANAGER C
SIIBJECT: NORTH METRO CONVENTION �ND TOIIRISM BIIREAII
DATE: OCTOBER 18, 1989
Paragraph 4. BUDGET. of the Convention and Tourism Bureau Agreement
between the City of Fridley and the North Metro Convention and
Tourism Bureau states:
The Bureau shall submit its annual budget for review by the
City of Fridley on or before the lst day of October of the
year preceding the effective date of the budget. Such budget
shall detail specifically the uses to which monies received
shall be spent to provide the services described in paragraph
2 of this Agreemient.
The attached memo dated September 21, 1989, did not reach our
office in time to be included in the October 2, 1989, agenda.
Accordingly, I request that you submit it to the Fridley City
Council at their meeting of October 23, 1989. All that is required
is a motion to receive. It is not necessary for the City Council
to approve the Bureau's budget.
Charles Cook, Executive Director of the Bureau, will be present at
the Council meeting to present the 1990 budget and Marketing Plan
and to respond to any questions the Council might have.

September 21, 1989
To: City Councils -- The Cities of Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park
Brooklyn Center and Fridiey
From: Charles E. Cook — Executive Director
Subject: 1990 Budget and Marketing Plan
The 1990 Bureau Budget is submitted for your review, in accordance with the
Convention & Tourism Bureau Agreement with each Member City.
After a soft first six months of 1988, the Bureau income began to increase at
record levels through August 1989. Year-to-date, through August, Bureau income
is up 16% over the same period for 1988. This, of course, reflects a healthy
growth in North Metro's visitor industry.
Extremely pleasing is that the accounting firm of Pannell, Kerr, Forster showed
that North Metro had the best occupancy increase in the Twin Cities the first
quarter of 1989, then the best occupancy in the Twin Cities the second quarter.
July and August, according to Bureau income, increased 21.396 and 17.9%,
respectively, reflecting continued growth.
Although not yet reflected in our figures, the only negative for 1989 is the
potential for lost hotel/motel revenue due to I-94/694 construction.
The Bureau, of course, cannot take total credit for the growth in our visitor
industry. We work as a team with the sales, marketing and management staffs
of our hotels and motels. What we are most proud of though is the identity and
recognition we have created for North Metro through our sales, marketing and
advertising programs to the prospective Twin Cities visitor. We have not only
generated business as a result of our efforts, but believe we have created an
awareness of North Metro that also makes selling easier for our hotel/motel
sales staffs.
Advertising response alone, through August, has resulted in over 6,000 pieces
of literature mailed to interested prospective visitors from the North Centra.2
United States, plus Winnipeg and Thunder Bay. Tens of thousands of pieces of
North Metro literature has been distributed by us at travel and sports shows
in Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Northern Minnesota, plus additional
thousands have been distributed for us by the State of Minnesota through the
Office of Tourism, and the Travel Information Centers.
Serving the communities of:
Fridley/Brooklyn ParWBrooklyn Center/Maple Grove
aa
Maple Grove, Brooklyn Park, Brooklyn Center and Fridley September 21, 1989
City Councils Page 2
We are especially pleased with two projects completed in 1989 that promote
not only our hotel/motel industry, but shopping and restaurants as well. First,
our North Metro Visitors Guide, featuring accommodations, restaurants, shopping,
open spaces and attractions, has become our number one marketing tool. Secondly,
a discount coupon booklet was produced that features accommodations, restaurants
and shopping, created over 2,500 requests from Northern Minnesota, North Dakota
and Wisconsin as soon as it was advertised. Also worthy of inention was the
amount of shopping in North Metro stores by Canadians as a result of our special
Winnipeg and Thunder Bay Weekend Package in connection with the Toronto
Blue Jays.
The Bureau has projected a healthy increase in its 1990 Budget as a result of
anticipated continued growth, the addition of the Northland Inn and Executive
Conference Center, and the Earle Brown Heritage Center. Also reflected in
the 28.5% increase is the very conservative 1989 Budget, anticipating a soft
visitor industry, that fortunately did not materialize for us in North Metro as
it did in other parts of the Twin Cities.
Our 1990 Budget
featuring special

will allow us to expand our identity as "TOP OF THE TOWN",
shopping, sports, State Fair and Canadian Weekends. We will

will also increase our group and convention sales solicitation

NORTH METRO CONVENTION dc TOURISM BUREAU
PROPOSED 1990 MARKE'I'ING PLAN
I. INTRODUCTION
Identity and awareness of the hospitality industry within the Cities of
Fridley, Brooklyn Center, Brooklyn Park and Maple Grove has been, and
will continue to be, the Bureau's highest priority.
"North Metro Minneapolis" and our major campaign slogan, "TOP OF THE
TOWN", identify us as part of the Twin Cities Metro Area, and our Northern
location. Our penguin logo provicles the vehicle for quick identification
of our advertising and promotional materigls. Being highly successful
in 1989, they will be continued in 1990.
Although we will continue to promote the North Metro Area as safe, friendly
and convenient to both Minneapolis end St. Paul, our experience has shown
that we are far more successful when we not only promote identity and
awareness, but incluc�e specific programs for our prospective visitors to
buy, i.e. Twins Weekends, Special Canadian Weekends, and in 1990, Special
Timberwolves Weekends.
II. BUDGET
Due to the continued financial impact of the October 1987 market crash,
a�d the Minneapolis Convention Center being closed, North 111etro antici-
pated a soft 1988, and budgeted accordingly. We were delighted that
after a soft first six months, the market bounced back with impressive
growth, and the Bureau carried $40,000.00 into its 1989 Budget.
As this pIan is being written, August 2989, our growth has continued with
a 1696 increase, year-to-date, over 1988, and the best occupancy in the
Twin Cities. Based on this history, plus an anticipated strong 1990, we
believe that a 28.5% increase in 1990, over 1989, is a very attainable
goal. Also included is the income that will be generated by the Northland
Inn and Executive Conference Center.
Of a$310,000.00 1990 Budget, $10,000.00 will be set aside as an "Appro-
priation of Savings Balance". In addition, an anticipated $30,000.00 1989
iRCOme over budget will not be incorporated into the Buresu's operation,
4H
PROPOSED 1990 MARKETING PLAN — Page 2
but will be placed in the same account.
This money will be the start of a reserve to be used if, and when, the
economy turns down end the hospitality industry becomes soft.
Since our founding in 1986, the Bureau has contributed over $32,000.00
towards Metro-wide bids for major conventions and events. In 1990, our
income will be used exclusively for the promotion of our hospitality industry
in our four member Cities. This decision was made based on two events.
First, it has always been assumed that the suburban hotels/motels derived
a substantial amount of revenue as a result of "downtown" conventions.
In 1988-89, while the Convention Center was down, and downtown
Minneapolis hotels were aggressively soliciting business that historically
belonged to the suburbs, North Metro grew. We found that we do not
need to rely on the downtowns.
Secondly, a new Minnesota Office of Tourism grant program wiIl contribute
as much as $75,000.00 into the Minneapolis Convention Bureau budget
to be used to bid for major conventions. Our financial assistance is no
longerneeded.
Lastly, this same Office of Tourism grant program will put as much as
$25,000.00 into the North Metro budget to be used primarily for capturing
more of the rapidly increasing Canadian Market.
III. MARKETS
', Although the Twin Cities Visitor Market is basically a regional market
from Greater Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin,
Southeastern Manitoba and Southwestern Ontario, the vast majority of
' North Metro's visitor revenue comes from Northern Minnesota, Eastern
North Dakota, Winnipeg and Thunder Bay. The majority of our marketing
efforts will continue in our sub-region.
' In 1990, the Bureau will have a new program, although low key, that will
', expand our markets to the total region, and possibly beyond. North Metro
' will be the first Convention Bureau in Minnesota that will be able to
41
PROPOS�D 1990 MARK�TING PLAN — Page 3
accommodate the hearing impaired.
With regard to group and convention business, three new developments
will greatly impact on North Metro. First, the Earle Brown Heritage
Center and the Northland Inn and Executive Conference Center has and
will continue to attract new markets that were not previously available.
We also believe that these two new facilities will have a positive impact
on the whole North Metro hotel/motel industry.
Secondly, Edinburgh U.S.A. is bringing, and the Blaine Sports Complex
will bring, new identity and visitors to North Metro. Also, a year away
is the new Dan Patch racing facility.
Although e small percentage of our business, but expanding our markets
regionally and nationally, it is our plan to capture overnight motorcoach
business from the Eastern U.S.A., enroute to the Western U.S.A. and
Canada. Also, through direct mail, we plan to expand our region by
attracting overnight stays by persons enroute to Northern Minnesota from
Southern Iowa, Missouri and South.

2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A REZONING. ZOA #89-04. BY
ASHLAND OIL COMPANY (RAPID OIL):
To rezone Lot 4, Block 6, City View Addition, from R-2, Two
Family Dwelling, to C-2, General Business, the same being 5701
University Avenue N.E.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to waive the
reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing.
OPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CIiAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:34 P.M.
Ms. Dacy stated the property is located on the northeast corner of
57th Avenue and University Avenue, immediately east of and adjacent
to the existing Rapid Oil facility. The property is vacant and
measures approximately 40 ft. in width and 140 ft. in depth. At
the September 13, 1989, meeting, the Planning Commission considered
a special use permit by Ashland Oil to reconstruct a new facility
on the property. The site plan included in the agenda packet is
a revised site plan which meets all the setback requirements and
lot area requirements in the C-2 district.
Ms. Dacy stated the petitioner is proposing to relocate the access
drives into the site so that the parking setbacks can be met. Two
existing driveway cuts into the property will be removed.
Ms. Dacy stated that in evaluating a rezoning request, the City
should look at whether or not the proposed district is compatible
with existing zoning and uses and whether or not the uses contained
in that district would be compatible with adjacent properties. The
existing zoning pattern in the area is C-2, General Business, along
the east side of University Avenue, abutted by R-2, Multiple
Family, or R-1, Single Family, to the east. Because this proposed
request would merely extend that commercial zoning 40 ft. to the
east, the rezoning should not have an adverse impact to the
adjacent uses or zoning districts.
Ms. Dacy stated that in the Staff Report on page 2, 3rd paragraph,
the first sentence under "Analysis" should be changed to read:
"The uses proposed in the C-2 district will � be compatible with
the surrounded uses and zoning."
Ms. Dacy stated staff had advised the petitioner that the City has
limited the use of automobile-related uses along major entrances
into the City, mainly University Avenue. The City has implemented
this policy primarily through the use of its development contracts
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. BEPTEMBER 27. 1989 - PAGE 3
with the HRA, specifically on the Vantage property development at
81st Avenue where The Wholesale Club is located. The HRA is
currently studying the 57th Place site as a potential redevelopment
site; however, the HRA wants to wait to evaluate the soil tests
currently being conducted on the site to determine whether or not
a redevelopment project should be pursued at this location.
Ms. Dacy stated that regarding the issue of light rail transit,
staff sent Ashland Oil's site plan to BRW, the consuZtant for Anoka
County, and received BRW's comments back on Tuesday, September 26.
Anoka County is looking for a station location to the south of the
site where SuperAmerica and the used car lot are located. That is
the first priority. Whether or not the station is located there
depends on future decisions as to whether or not the LRT will go
over I-694 or will go underneath the bridge at I-694. The second
alternative would be to locate a station on the subject property.
BRW's comments, however, were that it was very early in their
planning process to make any commitments at this time, but they
were encouraged to see that the Rapid Oil building was moved
farther to the east. That would give them additional room if
additional area is needed beyond the University Avenue right-of-
way at this location.
Ms. Dacy stated that at this time, the proposed site plan does not
conflict with the interit of the plans for the LRT; however, the
petitioner should be aware that the site is a second alternative
as a station location.
Ms. Dacy stated staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend
approval subject to three stipulations:
1. Compliance with the site plan submitted with the
application.
2. Compliance with all the stipulations of the speciaZ use
permit request, SP #89-12.
3. Approval of the special use permit request, SP #$9-12,
by the City Council.
Mr. Jack Lemley, Ashland Oil, stated he is representing Rapid Oil.
He stated he did talk to BRW that day, and it was his understanding
after talking to them, that it is going to be quite awhile before
the LRT is built. Their guess was about 10 years. He stated, as
pointed out by staff, they are setting the building back where it
should not cause any problems for a future LRT. Staff has done a
very good job in helping them lay out these plans.
Mr. Lemley stated he has no problem with any of the stipulations
proposed by staff.

Company (Rapid Oil) to rezone Lot 4, Block 6, City View Addition,
from R-2, Two Family Dwelling, to C-2, General Business, the same
being 5701 University Avenue N.E., with the following stipulations:

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOIISLY.
Ms. Dacy stated the City Council will establish a public hearing
date on the rezoning at their October 23, 1989, meeting, so both
the special use permit request and rezoning request will go to the
City Council on November 13, 1989.
3. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY SIGN CODE:
Ms. Dacy stated staff welcomed any proposed changes, comments, or
suggestions to the amendments as proposed by staff.
Mr. Betzold referred to #36, "Special Event",.under Section 214.02,
DEFINITIONS, which states: "An event which occurs within a
designated time period on an annual basis". He suggested it be
changed to read: "An event which occurs within a designated time
period jfor instance. on an annual basis)."
Mr. Barna referred to Section 214.07.O1.B (Changeable Signs) which
states: "The message shall not change more than once every fifteen
(IS) minutes except for a sign displaying time, temperature, and/or
date." He stated it should be changed to read: "The message shall
not change more than once every fifteen (15) minutes except for the
disglay of time, temperature, andjor date." The present wording
sounds like a sign displaying time, temperature, and/or date can
change more than every fifteen minutes.
Mr. Saba referred to Section 214.06.03 (Political Signs). He
stated he would like to see a reduction in the maximum allowed size
for political signs (32 sq. ft.).
5D
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, BEPTEMBER 27. 1989 - PAGE 5
Mr. Betzold stated maybe they should address the size of the sign
and the length of time a political sign can be up.
Ms. Sherek stated that the City of Arden Hills allows political
signs to be put up 30 days before the primary election, and the
signs must be removed within 48 hours after the general election.
Her suggestion wouZd be that poli,tical signs can be put up 30 days
before the primary election and must be removed 5 days after the
general election. This gives people time to get the signs down if
there is cold or inclement weather.
° Mr. Dahlberg stated there is a state law that addresses the removal
of signs and signs within so•many feet of the polling place. A
suggestion would be to add language such as "...to be removed
within five days following the election and/or as required by state
law."
Mr. Dahlberg stated that a$15 deposit for the erection of
political signs is no incentive for anyone to remove the signs.
Ms. Dacy suggested they make the deposit consistent with the
deposit for temporary signs--$200.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that is a possible solution.
Mr. Saba stated it is an excellent idea.
Mr. Betzold stated $200 might be appropriate for a business, but
$200 might be a little out of line for these organizations.
Mr. Barna stated he would agree with the $200 deposit. If it is
a problem, anyone can come before the City Council and ask to have
the deposit waived.
Mr. Betzold stated that during 49'er Days, there was a craft show
and Taste of Fridley, and someone posted bills advertising this all
over the City. Some of those bills are still up. Is something
like that covered in the sign ordinance?
Mr. Saba and Ms. Sherek stated it should be.
Ms. Sherek stated another example is the posting of bills for the
Game and Sport Show, etc. It is visual pollution.
Mr. Saba stated he liked the idea of requiring a deposit for this
type of situation also. Any organization, even a volunteer
organization, should be required to put down a deposit before
posting bills to ensure the removal of those bills.
Ms. Sherek stated that under Section 214.06.05, Special Events
Signs, maybe another paragraph could be added that anyone posting
5E
pLANNING COMMISSION MEETIN(3, SEPTEMBER 27. 1989 -_ _PAGE 6
bills and posters is also subject to a deposit and that the bills
and posters must be removed.
Mr. Dahlberg asked if there is a definition for "Bills".
Ms. McPherson stated the definition for "Banners and Pennants" is:
"A temporary sign constructed of cloth, canvass, paper, plastic
film or light fabric." That would include posters and bills unless
the Commission wanted to be more specific.
Mr. Dahlberg asked why modifications to the Sign Ordinance are
being proposed.
Ms. McPherson stated that many of the modifications being proposed,
particularly the "Special Events" definition and the modifications
to "Special Events" and "Banner" sections of the temporary sign
ordinance of the Sign Code are the result of conversations with
many of the churches in the area upon notification that churches
had to follow the temporary sign ordinance just as businesses in
the City do. Several discrepancies were pointed out to staff, and
there were some other areas that needed some more clarification
from an administrative viewpoint.
Mr. Saba asked how the City could restrict or allow banners hung
over a street.
Ms. McPherson stated those are defined as "temporary signs". She
believed Mr. Saba was referring to the Michael Servetus Unitarian
Church's banner over Mississippi recently which advertised their
upcoming auction. She stated the church got approval from the City
Council several years ago to do that and has also received special
permission from the Nortel Cable and Anoka County. She wanted to
note also that the Fridley 49'er Days Committee did not obtain a
temporary sign permit to post its banners.
Mr. Saba stated he would like to see something in the ordinance
that says that banners cannot be hung over City or County streets,
except thase banners which advertise city-related events such as
49'er Days or those events recognized by a City Council
declaration.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he did not agree. That is very arbitrary and
discriminatory and why should the City be a2lowed to hang banners
when no one else can?
Mr. Kondrick stated he agreed with Mr. Saba. For special city
functions where the information on the sign benefits the City for
a City-approved function, he thought it is an allowable use, but
he thought it is offensive to have a business advertise on a banner
on a City or County street which does not benefit everyone in the
City. They could have banners everywhere then.
5F
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, BEPTEMBER 27. 1989 - PAGE 7
Mr. Betzold stated that in other cities, Anoka, for example, during
its Halloween Festival, banners are put up all over. However, he
could not see businesses being allowed to do the same thing.
Mr. Dahlberg asked if the biggest objection to the banners is from
the standpoint of safety (motorists reading the banner and not
watching the road), then why is it going to be any different if the
City puts up the banner? If not, what is the objection to having
a business put up a banner across a street?
Mr. Kondrick stated his objection is it is visual blight.
Mr. Dahlberg stated attractiveness is in the eye of the beholder.
Again, if they are not going to allow these types of signs by
legitimate businesses or individuals in the community, then he did
not feel, just because something is a city-related event, that it
is a legitimate reason to allow that sign.
Ms. Dacy stated right now a business can only put up a temporary
sign on its property. Special Event Signs are defined as:
"Banners or pennants commemorating a special event not connected
with a business." So, they are really talking about city, church,
or institutional functions that could potentially hang a sign over
a street.
Ms. Dacy stated maybe a compromise would be that if it is a non-
city related function (a special event not connected with a
business), they have to get City Council approval.
Mr. Betzold stated 49'er Days is not a City function per se. The
City participates in it, but it is still a non-profit organization
that organizes and operates the function. That organization should
also come to the City Council for permission to hang any banners
or signs.
Ms. Dacy stated under 214.06.05, they could add an item B which
would have language regarding the posting of bills and a deposit;
and Item C would have language stating banners over right-of-ways
would require City Council approval.
Mr. Dahlberg stated the issue is really to clarify these things in
the Sign Ordinance as much as possible.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that "Banners and Pennants" are defined as a
temporary sign constructed of cloth, canvass, paper, plastic film,
or Zight fabric. Does that mean with or without graphic or text
or writing? Is a windsock or a streamer considered a banner and
pennant? Are the pennant-shaped plastic flags used in car lots
considered banners and pennants?
Ms. McPherson stated it has been interpreted in different ways.
The pennants that are strung together at service stations, etc.,
5G
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. BEPTEMBER 27, 1989 - PAGE 8
are interpreted as temporary signs; however, they do not have a
legal opinion as to whether or not windsocks and flags would be
included.
Ms. Dacy stated staff will look into the windsock/flag issue.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that if a business tries to find out what they
can do to put temporary signage up all along the boulevard and not
have to go for a permit, according to Section 214.16.O1.E.(8),
under Sign Permit Requirements ("Any signs having an area of three
(3) square feet or less."), the business could use the old "Burma
Shave" sign technique. The business is not required to get a
permit and the signs can be left up indefinitely according to this
section of the ordinance.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he saw some of the changes being made to this
ordinance as creating a more restrictive ordinance. If enforcement
also becomes stricter, they are going to find some businesses or
people going through the ordinance to look for a way to advertise
more important events than two, because they are only allowed two
temporary signs per year. Potentially, they could start seeing the
Burma Shave-type signs because it is allowable.
Ms. Dacy stated the City allows a free-star►ding sign up to 80 sq.
ft., wall signage up to 15 times the square root of a wall length,
plus window signage, so the ordinance is being very liberal in
allowing business people to have adequate signage, for permanent
and temporary signage.
Ms. McPherson stated the Sign Ordinance does not say a business or
church cannot have a readerboard as part of the permanent signage.
There is ample opportunity for businesses to become creative with
signs within the restrictions of the Sign Ordinance.
Mr. Dahlberg asked if there were any planning organizations or
associations that have created a model sign ordinance.
Ms. Dacy stated she is not aware of any. •
Mr. Dahlberg stated he feels two temporary signs per year per
business, church, or institution are somewhat restrictive.
Mr. Betzold stated he is not so much concerned about the loopholes
a business or person might find in the ordinance to put up a
temporary sign, but he is more concerned about the permanent sign
that a business or person goes to a greater expense to install.
Mr. Dahlberg stated referred to the Ietter dated September 29,
2989, from Bruce Brown, President of the Fridley-Spring Lake Park
Ministerial Association, in which Pastor Brown expressed concern
about churches being subject to the same limitations as businesses
for temporary signs.
5H
PLANNZNG COMMIBSION MEETING, BEPTEMBER 27. 1989 - PAGE 9
Mr. Barna stated he agreed with Mr. Dahlberg that two temporary
signs per year per business or institution is too restrictive.
Mr. Dahlberg stated Ms. McPherson has suggested the use of
readerboard signs. He stated a readerboard sign is generally a
monument sign on the ground, and he did not see a readerboard sign
as being that effective for advertising major events.
Mr. Barna stated readerboards are also expensive to install.
Ms. Dacy referred to Section 214.16.O1.D: "Signs erected by a
nonprofit organization are not exempt from obtaining a sign permit,
but the City may waive the fee requirement."
Ms. Dacy stated that at this time, if the Commission wanted to make
a recommendation on adding a fee and deposit requirement for
nonprofit organizations and possibly excluding them from the
temporary sign restrictions, now is the time to do that.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that if language was added that "these
organizations may be allowed 4-5 temporary signs a year", that was
also risky because then they are saying nonprofit organizations get
more temporary signs than a retailer or business. He did not know
how something like this could be handled.
Mr. Barna stated he thought the original intent for this change in
the Sign Ordinance was to limit the use of porta-panel signs, and
not necessarily temporary signs. Rather than define them as
temporary signs, maybe they should define them as porta-panel
signs.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he did not think the Commission has enough
information to make any decisions at this time. He suggested staff
contact other communities to see what they do about the use of
temporary signs for non-profit organizations, particularly
churches.
Ms. Dacy stated there is the interpretation that churches are
displaying special events signs which are permitted temporary signs
and would not fall under the temporary sign category. She stated
there is a conflict in interpretations here. She stated staff will
do a survey of other communities and come back with a
recommendation.
Ms. Sherek stated she would lik� to address Section 214.15, Signs
Within Public Right-of-Ways. She did not see any reason why signs
needed to be allowed in the public right-of-way.
Ms. Dacy stated this section of the code was specifically designed
for the Central Avenue Corridor.
51
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, BEPTEMBER 27. 1989 - PAGE 10
Mr. Dahlberg stated that if Central Avenue is the only street that
this section applies to, then why don't they just say that?
Ms. Dacy stated this was a way to try and establish criteria that
would not give the appearance that it is singling out one right-
of-way over another. However, staff went through the computer
listing of streets, and Central Avenue is the only street that
falls under this criteria.
Mr. Barna stated the City approved a variance for a sign at 79th
and University. Because the right-of-way is larger than the
service drive, a variance was needed to allow a pylon sign to
extend over the right-of-way but not over the curb. He stated
maybe they should just continue as they have in the past and that
is to allow these signs only with a variance.
Ms. Dacy stated the City cannot give a variance for a sign in the
right-of-way because the ordinance specifically states no signs in
public right-of-ways.
Mr. Barna stated then maybe they should say no pedestal of a sign
can be constructed within the right-of-way without a variance or
special use permit. That way each situation can be looked at on
an individual basis, rather than pass an ordinance that allows just
a few businesses to do something.
Ms. Dacy stated what staff is trying to say is that this right-of-
way is unique, it is oversized, and they do think it is different
than any other street in the City. Staff wanted to avoid the
hardship argument.
Ms. Sherek stated this section of the ordinance is, in fact,
favoring one side of Central Avenue. The setbacks on the east side
of the street from the curb are not the same as those on the west
side. So, they are almost saying that businesses on one side of
the street can do something businesses on the other side cannot do.
It bothered her to draw up an ordinance that relates specifically
to one area.
Mr. Barna agreed with Ms. Sherek.
Ms. Sherek stated if this is going to be in the ordinance, then
they should be clear that they are talking specifically about
Central Avenue and treat it as such.
Mr. Dahlberg agreed. Ordinances he has seen for other communities
do refer to special considerations in given development corridors.
They should say this is criteria for the Central Avenue Corridor.
5J
pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, BEPTEMBER 27, 1989 - PAGE 11
4. CONSIDERATION OF COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE, "HOUSING" CHAPTER:
Ms. Dacy stated staff based the outline on the proposed theory that
Fridley should promote the theory of life cycle housing, providing
a variety of housing choices for persons living in the community
at different times of their lives. She reviewed the outline with
the Commission members.
Mr. Saba stated that based on past experiences, he felt the City
has to be really restrictive as to where they allow multi-tenant
housing and elderly housing in the City, as far as the proximity
to single family residential neighborhoods. There are a lot of
multi-family dwellings in the City now, and maybe they should take
into consideration the redevelopment or re-redevelopment of the
existing housing stock in terms of multi-family as a priority
before looking at going into residential neighborhoods to build new
apartment buildings and senior housing, etc. He sympathized with
people who have nice, quiet neighborhoods, and are then faced with
the possibility of a large multi-tenant building going up in their
neighborhood.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that with some of the changes going on right
now with the closing of state hospitals and those kinds of things,
there is going to be a need for housing a lot of those people. The
comprehensive plan should address some of those trends and maybe
make some projections relative to those trends in years to come.
Ms. Dacy stated that regarding the Comprehensive Plan, the City
Council wants a more detailed discussion with Planninq staff on
what the Planning Commission reviewed earlier. This will be
discussed at the October 30, 1989, Council Conference meeting. She
has suggested the Planning Commission chairperson be invited to
this meeting also. �

REQUEST
The petitioner is requesting a rezoning for Lot 4, Block 6, City
View Addition from R-2, Two Family Dwelling to C-2, General
Business. The purpose of the rezoning request is to make
additional property available in order that the reconstructed Rapid
Oil facility west of the subject property can meet the required
setbacks and requirements of the C-2 zoning district.
SITE
The subject property measures approximately 40' x 140' and was
originally platted in 1887. The property is currently vacant and
is bounded on the west by the existing Rapid Oil facility, and to
the east by a vacant single family dwelling. Both properties are
owned by the petitioner. The property is a double frontage Iot,
with 57th Place along the north side and 57th Avenue along the
south side.
ANALYSIS
In reviewing this rezoning request, the City should evaluate
whether or not the intent and the uses permitted in the C-2
district would be compatible with adjacent zoning and uses.
The C-2 zone exists to the north and south of the site along the
east side of the University Avenue frontage. The intent of the
original zoning pattern in this area appears to be to provide areas
for local convenience uses for the neighborhood to the east of the
commercial frontage as well as to provide commercial services for
the travelling public along University Avenue. Given that the
existing zoning and uses to the north and south is also zoned C-2,
and the property to the south is zoned C-2, zoning Lot 4 would not
be contrary to the existing pattern.
The uses proposed in the C-2 district will not be compatible with
the surrounding uses and zoning. The size of the property dictates
that it must be combined with the existing structure on Lots 1
through 3. Therefore, the primary purpose of rezoning Lot 4 is to
gain additional lot area and footage to bring the reconstructed oil
changing facility into compliance with current ordinances. It will
also provide area for the required screening fence along the east
lot line.
Policy Considerations
Staff has advised the petitioner that the City has limited the use
of automotive related uses in HRA redevelopment contracts (i.e.
Vantage Companies development) along University Avenue. The intent
50
Staff Report
ZOA #89-04, Ashland Oil
Page 3
of this effort is to avoid a"gasoline alley" image along major
thoroughfares through the City. The HRA will consider its
redevelopment plans for this site when the soil testing is
completed on the site and the extent of the contamination is known.
Approval of the rezoning is conditioned upon compliance with the
stipulation of Rapid Oil's special use permit, which includes that
the site must be cleaned according to MPCA standards prior to
issuance of a building permit.
Light Rail Transit
Staff has forwarded a copy of the site plan to BRW, Inc. to provide
comments regarding the proposed light rail transit route. Comments
should be reviewed b� Wednesday evening for presentation to the
Planning Commission.
RECO1�ff�IENDATION
Planning staff recommends the Planning Commission recommend
approval of the rezoning application, ZOA #89-04, with the
following stipulations:
1. Compliance with the site plan submitted with the application.
2. Compliance with all the stipulations of the special use permit
request, SP #89-12.
3. Approval of the special use permit request, SP #89-12.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
rezoning request, ZOA #89-04, subject to the stipulations
recommended by staff.
CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council concur with the Planning
Commission's recommendation.

Ms. McPherson stated RMS Company currently owns the building at
980 Osborne Road, which is adjacent to 990 Osborne Road. The small
outlot is zoned C-2, General Business. RMS Company is proposing
to construct an addition onto their existing building and a minor
portion of that addition will encroach into the outlot, therefore,
the petitioner is requesting the outlot be rezoned to M-1, Light
Industrial. Adjacent parcels in the area are currently zoned M-1,
Light Industrial, including the parcel with the existing building.
Ms. McPherson stated that since the existing building is on M-1
property and adjacent parcels to the west and south are also zoned
M-1, it would be appropriate to rezone the small outlot to M-1,
Light Industrial. This will allow RMS Company to add onto their
building and be in compliance with the Zoning Code. The remainder
of the parcel will be used for employee parking.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending the Planning Commission
recommend approval of the rezoning request with three stipulations:
1. A grading and drainage plan shall be submitted for
approval prior to the issuance of a building permit.
2. A landscape plan with underground irrigation shall be
submitted for approval prior to the issuance of a
building permit.
3. The rezoning of Outlot 1 of Nagel's Woodlands shall be
contingent upon approval of the variance request, VAR

Mr. Tessmer stated he had nothing to add. He stated they are in
agreement with the stipulations as outlined by staff.

2. CONSIDERATION OF RECOMMENDATION TO COMBINE THE ENVIRONMENTAL
OUALITY COMMISSION AND ENERGY COMMISSION:
Ms . Dacy stated that this subj ect was discussed by the Planning
Commission several months ago. The Environmental Quality and
Energy Commissions are now embarking on a solid waste fact-finding
process by interviewing various employees from other cities and
counties regarding their approach to recycling.
Ms. Dacy stated a factor in that fact-finding process is the
ability to get quorums on both commissions. That has been a factor
for the last year.
Ms. Dacy stated at a recent Council meeting, Councilmember Billings
initiated this request. The Energy Commission and Environmental
Quality Commission have reviewed the proposed changes to Chapter
6 of the City Code regarding Commissions. Included in the agenda
was the proposed changes along with a copy of Chapter 6 showing
where the proposed changes would be.
Ms. Dacy stated, essentially, the Environmental Quality and Energy
Commissions would be combined into one commission and would have
seven members. The impact on the Planning Commission would be
that there would be five members plus two at-large members
appointed by the Council. She believed that is consistent with the
Planning Commission's original discussion and direction.
Ms. Dacy stated staff would like the Commission to review the
proposed changes to Chapter 6, recommend any changes, and direct
staff to schedule the first reading of the ordinance to chanqe
Chapter 6 before the City Council on October 23, 1989.
Mr. Saba stated both the commissions would like the membership to
stay at seven members. It will help in being able to have a quorum
for meetings.
sc
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETZNG. OCT. 12. 1989 -_- PAGE 4
Mr. Dahlberg stated there is quite a diversity among the EQC and
Energy Conunission members in terms of interest and expertise. It
is healthy to keep the membership at seven members to be able to
retain that interest and expertise.
Mr. Dahlberg stated they would like the flexibility that if, at
some point they cannot maintain a membership of seven, they could
reduce the membership to five.
Mr. Betzold stated it is a good idea to merge the two commissions.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by
Council the approval of the
Commissions, of the City Code and
Commission and Energy Commission

3. CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED STATION LOCATIONS ALONG UNIVERSITY
AVENUE•
Mr. Robertson stated that since the Planning Commission last
discussed the proposed LRT system, staff has received some updated
information from BRW that staff feels warrants more review by the
Planning Commission. The Planning Commission might want to
consider updating some of their recommendations about locations and
type of station.
Mr. Robertson stated that at the February 8, 1989, meeting the
Commission did not know the parking requirements for commuter
stations, and the Commission recommended station locations at 57th
Avenue, Mississippi Street, Osborne Road, and 81st Avenue. BRW now
feels that the commuter ("park and ride" as opposed to "walk and
ride") station on University and Mississippi will now require 300
parking spaces. That is approximately equivalent to the two Target
parking lots. BRW states the 10,000 Auto Parts parking lot will
only accommodate 125 spaces, so they are asking about the use of
other Municipal Center parking facilities. He stated the new
parking ramp was built to handle the overflow parking and help
correct the parking problem the City already has in Center City,
and the use of these facilities was discouraged since the office
building is not fully leased and an expansion is planned for the
Fridley Plaza Clinic.
Mr. Robertson stated the next dimension of this problem is that
the Center City redevelopment is about 2/3 completed. However,
they still have a 10 acre parcel in the southwest quadrant, and
the HRA is looking at three proposals for it at its October Z2,
1989, meeting. The question is: Do they really want to jam up
the intersection with 300 more cars in the morning and 300 more
cars in the evening where, during the day, there is going to be
. �
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCT. 12. 1989 - PAGE 5
nonproductive use of that land? Perhaps the solution would be to
convert the "park and ride" station originally conceived for
University/Mississippi to a"walk and ride" station and ndrive up
and drop off" station and then provide those additional "park and
ride" facilities at Columbia Arena.
Mr. Robertson stated staff is asking the Planning Commission to
reconsider Columbia Arena. Does it make sense to have a"park and
ride" station at both Columbia Arena and Osborne Road?
Mr. Betzold stated that if there is a station at the intersection
of MississippijUniversity, isn't it going to be second nature for
' people to park in the City's parking lot anyway? They are going
to have 300 cars parked there even if they do not have room for
them.
Mr. Barna stated people will park there or at Holly Shopping Center
or on the residential streets.
Ms. Sherek asked if they want to add 300 additional cars to the
intersection of 73rd/University in a residential area that is going
to be newly burdened with the Northco development. Probably a
minimum of 1/2 those cars will be during rush hour adding to an
already horrible traffic situation on 73rd Avenue.
Mr. Robertson stated 73rd Avenue is going to be widened.
Ms. Sherek stated it is not the width of the street that is the
problem; it is the volume of traffic on the street, and that volume
will be increased by putting a commuter station at Columbia Arena.
So, are they improving a situation or making it worse?
Ms. Sherek stated if they have a choice between putting a"park
and ride" station in an area that enters and exits in a residential
area or in a commercial area, she would vote for the commercial
area, whether it is Osborne Road or Mississippi Street.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that in the early stages, there was minimal
discussion about this, but it seemed it was always intended that
the LRT would go on the east side of University Avenue. It appears
to him that there is more land available for parking facilities on
the west side of University Avenue.
Mr. Robertson stated he believed the east side of University Avenue
was chosen because of the availability of right-of-way.
Mr. Robertson agreed with what Mr. Betzold had said earlier that
even with a"walk and ride" station on the southeast corner by the
Target building, they are going to get a certain amount of renegade
parking in the area. The idea would be to try to make a"park and
ride" station as attractive as possible and the parking as close
to the station and loading platform as possible.
l•1 `�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. OCT. 12. 1989 -_ PAGE 6
Mr. Betzold stated that the Columbia Arena location seems ideal
because the lot is available during the day.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that is true; however, it was BRW's original
analysis to utilize the property Northco now has, not the Columbia
Arena lot.
Mr. Robertson stated that was true; however, he has now been
informed by BRW that they will consider the joint use of the
Columbia Arena lot because it is already an Anoka County facility.
Mr. Dahlberg asked the capacity for the Columbia Arena lot.
Mr. Robertson stated they are not sure, but know it can hold in
excess of 300 cars. However, there is still the remaining problem
of traffic on 73rd Avenue.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he believed some of that traffic will be
distributed onto 69th Avenue. They are assuming all the traffic
will be coming east and west on 73rd Avenue to get to the station,
but that is not necessarily the way it is going to work.
Mr. Robertson stated that is an excellent point, and they should
get a follow-up projection from BRW on what percentage of traffic
will come east/west on 73rd Avenue and what percentage of traffic
will come north/south on University Avenue.
Ms. Sherek stated another way would be to get an analysis of how
traffic could be rerouted to 69th Avenue to distribute the traffic.
Mr. Barna stated there has been some discussion about the frontage
road being eliminated at 73rd Avenue. If that is the case, traffic
would have to go through the Northco development to and from 73rd
Avenue.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that when staff asks for follow-up information,
the information be based on two scenarios:
1.
2.
If the frontage road is not there to 73rd which forces
aIl the traffic to 69th or through Northco's development
to get to 73rd Avenue.
If the frontage road remains so traffic can get onto 69th
Avenue and 73rd Avenue.
Mr. Robertson stated the question is: Will the "park ar►d ride"
people arrive at the station aII at once or earlier than people
arriving to work at the Northco development? If the latter is
true, then that would spread out some of the traffic.
sF
PLANNINQ COMMISSION MEETING, OCT. 12. 1989 - PAGE 7
Mr. Betzold stated another question that can be asked of BRW is
that if BRW is committed to having a"walk and ride" station at
Mississippi/University, where will the cars be parked and how can
the City control the parking situation?
Mr. Dahlberg stated if the northeast quadrant of University/
Mississippi becomes a 125 car lot, how is the parking to be
controlled? �y permit for LRT?
Mr. Dahlberg stated he had a concern regarding 73rd Avenue. Of
all the east/west streets in Fridley that provide access to
University and Highway 65 and Central Avenue, 73rd Avenue is the
only street without stop signs, and that is why it is used as
heavily as it is. It would seem to be wiser to have Osborne Road
as the street without stop signs or have Osborne with traffic
controlled intersections.
Mr. Betzold stated when they first started the LRT discussions,
they agreed that at some point the public should become involved.
He is now getting very concerned about making these kinds of
discussions without any public input. He felt they are getting to
the point where they should have a public hearing fairly soon.
Ms. Sherek stated they have to give this a lot of consideration.
There are other sites they could be looking at for the "park and
ride" stations. Once the LRT is in, it is going to be here for a
long time. If it means exploring the idea of having the corridor
run down the west side of the street with a pedestrian bridge over
University Avenue, then maybe they should do tha�.
Mr. Dahlberg stated the Commission's recommendation was that if
the corridor is on the east side that they retain all the parking
facilities on the east side as well. Now, they might have to
compromise and say they will allow it on the west side only if
there is a pedestrian walk bridge over or under University Avenue
to the station so pedestrians do not have to compete with the
traffic on University Avenue.

Mr. Robertson stated a public information meeting was originally
scheduled by BRW for September but it had to be cancelled.
Mr. Betzold stated it is a valid concern that they do want to have
all the information together before going before the public; but
sG
PLANNING COMMISSZON MEETING, OCT. 12. 1989 -_ PAGE 8
the Commission does not control this process. He is afraid that
there is going to be a point in time when a lot of rumors and
misinformation can start coming out, and he did not want someone
to point to the FridZey Planning Commission that they were the ones
who made the decision without public input.
Mr. Saba stated it could be worse, though, if they do not have
adequate information.
Mr. Robertson stated he would forward the Planning Commission's
concern about public input to BRW.
Ms. Sherek stated that when they do have a public hearing, she
would like representatives from BRW to attend that meeting.
Ms. Sherek stated she felt BRW does have to make a decision on the
corridor first before they can start talking about stations.
MOTION by Mr. Dahlberg, seconded by Mr. Saba, that the Planning
Commission recognizes the updated information presented by staff
and is willing to update their recommendations after staff gets
more information on the following issues:
1. The closing off of 73rd; directing traffic to 69th; or
traffic through the Northco development to 73rd.
2. The traffic assignments east/west on 73rd Avenue and the
impact of that traffic on the residential area to the
north.
3. The impact on renegade parking in the Center City area
if there is a"walk and ride" station located at
University/Mississippi.
4. The implication of parking facilities on the opposite
side of the roadway from the rail right-of-way with a
pedestrian bridge.

THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
4. REVIEW PROPOSED CHANGES TO LOT COVERAGE REQUIREMENTS _IN
COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL DISTRICTS:
Ms. McPherson stated the reason for the initiation of the code
change was in response to a variance request by Cortron
Manufacturing in September 1989. In the discussion at the City
Council meeting, it was discussed that information be gathered on
how other cities handle lot coverage requirements. That
information was included as items B and B2 in the Commission
agenda.
6H
$LANNING COMMI88ION MEETING, OCT. 12, 1989 - PAG$ 9
Ms. McPhersan stated, as proposed, the increase by 10� of all the
lot coverage requirements would occur for both commercial and
industrial districts. Staff has recommended, however, that the
increase only be allowed in industrial districts as the lot usage
in commercial districts in usually more intense, the parking
requirements are higher, and the ratios are greater. In industrial
districts, many times the expansions that cause the increase in lot
coverage are usually for warehousing and some manufacturing uses.
The parking ratios are 1 parking space for 2,000 sq. ft. so the
parking demand is not as greatly increased as the retail use which
is 1 parking space for 150 sq. ft.
Ms. McPherson stated also included was a list of lot coverage
variances that have been requested in past years. As stated in
the memo dated October 6, 1989, all lot variances were within
industrial districts.
Ms. Dacy stated it was Councilmember Billings' proposal to increase
lot coverage by 10� as a special use permit (Exhibit A).
Mr. Dahlberg asked why the special use permit situation would be
any better than just increasing the allowable lot coverage by 10�
to 50$ without a special use permit in the M-1 district.
Mr. Barna stated maybe the Council could just give the Appeals
Commission some direction that the Council was comfortable with
variances for lot coverage up to 50�.
Ms. Dacy stated that to choose between amending the ordinance or
considering each case on a variance basis, she would recommend that
the ordinance be changed so that there could not be a challenge if
a variance was denied for whatever reason.
Mr. Dahlberg agreed with Ms. Dacy. He stated it should not be a
variance situation, but what is the benefit to having it allowed
with a special use permit?
Ms. Dacy stated staff's initial concern was to make sure that the
requests would have adequate parking, to analyze the long term
situation if the use was to change over in the future, and to look
at adjacent us�s. In the case of ELO Engineering, there was an
issue about shared parking.
Ms. Dacy stated the City has the burden of praof to show if there
are any problems with the special use permit.
Mr. Barna stated that with the ELO Engineering lot coverage
variance, it was revealed that there was insufficient parking. The
Appeals Comraission put on a contingency of gaining additional
property which ELO was not able to do and, therefore, denied the
variance for a variance from 46.5� to 49.5�. Handling it that way
has kind of limited Iot coverage to 45-47�.
si
pLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING, OCT. 12. 1989 - PAGE 10
Ms. Sherek stated that if someone comes in requesting an increase
in lot coverage from 40� to 50� and the ordinance says 50�, doesn't
the petitioner still have to demonstrate adequate parking? If they
cannot meet their parking requirement, it makes no difference if
there is a special use permit procedure or not. The value she saw
in the special use permit process is if the ordinance is set for
50$, then they will get requests for 55$.
Mr. Saba stated the whole electronic industry and sheet metal
industry is changing, and corporations are requiring more space
for storage of inventory in their buildings. By denying this type
of lot coverage, they could lose a lot of business. That is what
is happening to companies like ELO Engineering.
Mr. Betzold stated the variance process is always available, but
then the burden is onrthe petitioner to show a hardship. If they
go ahead and increase lot coverage to 50� with a special use
permit, then they are saying it is all right, and the City has to
come up with good reasons why the request should be turned down.
They have only had five lot coverage variance requests in five
years, so he really did not see this as an issue. He would almost
rather see a sunset provision where there would at least be some
review at some point in the future so they do not have a needless
procedure on the books.
Ms. Sherek stated allowing 50� lot coverage with a special use
permit is still the same thing as allowing 50�, but the City is
requiring the petitioner to jump through some hoops. She felt they
should either allow 50g or just leave it as it is now.
Mr. Barna stated he basicalZy agreed with Ms. Sherek. If they are
going to have a percentage at all, he liked what some of the other
cities are daing where the setback requirements and parking
requirements basically control the lot coverage.
Mr. Dahlberg stated the danger there is if they increase the number
too much (and 50� is not outrageous), they have to take into
account that there is parking lot and hard surface that has to be
accommodated on the parcel. At around 40� lot coverage and adding
the parking and hard surface, the total building and hard surface
area on the lot could be at approximately 75-80� maximum. That is
all right, but as soon as they start to increase the lot coverage
to 50�, then maybe the total developed piece of property including
parking and hard surface is closer to 90�, and that becomes a
little more difficult to deal with. The objective is to have some
green space and landscaped treatment on each parcel.
Ms. Sherek stated maybe they should add an additional statement
that says the total lot coverage cannot exceed a certain
percentage.
6J
pL'NNTN(: QAM1�fTEtRTAN UtF.F.T7N(�_ AGT_ 12. 1989 - PAGE 11
Mr. Dahlberg asked staff if there has been any language to that
effect in other cities ordinances.
Ms. Dacy stated some ordinances do not have a building coverage;
they will have a total impervious surface. �She stated the City's
parking setbacks and building setbacks are set up so that 88� of
the lot can be covered. She stated staff looked at that option,
and they could state in the ordinance that lot coverage maximum is
88�, but they felt uncomfortable stating that. On the other hand,
they looked at what would happen if they reduced that to 75$ or 80$
total. Based on how Fridley has developed, they would probably
render a number of properties nonconforming because basically
� everyone has built to those parking and building setbacks in the
commercial and industrial districts.
Mr. Barna stated that with the variance process, they look at each
individual lot and each individual situation.
Ms. Dacy stated staff wants to avoid the variance procedure,
because of the hardship test. She would rather have the special
use permit process rather than the variance process.
Mr. Betzold stated the issues are:
1. Should they go to 50� lot coverage?
2. If so, should they also require a special use permit?
Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission must remember that the
proposal is to increase the lot coverage by 10� for more than one
story buildings.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he would like to consider Ms. Sherek's
suggestion about an additional statement that total lot coverage
of building and hard surface will not exceed, in this case, 88�.
The Commission members agreed to limit the amendment to industrial
districts only.
MOTION by Ms. Sherek, seconded by Mr. Barna, to recommend to City
Council approval of the proposed change in the Zoning Code for lot
coverage in industrial districts only as follows:
(4) The above maximum lot coverages in (1) may be increased
by ten percent (10�) of the lot size; however, in no
event may the total impervious lot surface exceed 88� of
the total square footage.
Ms. Sherek stated she did not want to require a special use permit
for the increase in lot coverage.
6K
pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. OCT. 12. 1989 -__ PAGE 12
Mr. Dahlberg stated he would rather see the special use permit
included as part of the proposed change, primarily from the
standpoint that if they do it at 50�, then it will be easier for
people to go after larger percentages. Most people will look at
this and say 40� is allowable, and the special use process to get
more than 40� might deter some people.
Mr. Betzold stated he did not know if the special use permit adds
any protection, because a person or a company still has to get a
building permit, and there are requirements with the building
permit, i.e., parking requirements.
Ms. Dacy stated FridZey's parkinq requirements are based on square
footage, not on employee generation, so they could get a very small
warehouse with a large number of employees, or vice versa. Staff
is evaluating whether or not they want to change that to require
one space per "x" amount of employees on the largest shift.
Ms. Sherek stated that is not an issue before the Commission now,
but her opinion on that is that commercial property changes hands
frequently enough that the parking should be planned to the highest
density of employees that are anticipated in that type of building
at any point, not necessarily for the use currently in the
building.
Ms. Sherek stated she did not think they wanted to get into that
kind of evaluation, because that is more or less saying that the
use to which the building is put today is its use in perpetuity.
Whatever the parking requirement is at the time a person or company
comes in for a building permit, whether or not there is a special
use permit, that parking requirement has to be met. If they do not
change that and someone comes in with an unusual situation, there
is always the variance process.

CARRIED BY A VOTE OF 4-1.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he does not object to the 50$ lot coverage,
but does feel the special use permit should be included.
5. REVIEW PROPOSED CHANGES TO PARKING STALL SIZES:
Ms. Dacy stated staff is recommending a change in parking stall
sizes from 10 ft. x 20 ft. to 9 ft. x 20 ft. (Option #3). Staff
feels the double striping is reasonable.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he would like to discuss the issue of compact
parking stalls. Most municipalities have some language in their
parking ordinances relative to allowing compact stalls. Stall
widths for compact spaces vary from 7.5 - 8.5 feet, and percentages
of allowable stalls vary from 10-50� of the total in a given
parking lot. He was not sure he advocated compact stalls, but he
6L
pLANNING COMMISSION KEETING, OCT. 12, 1989 - PAGE t3
was sure that on occasion a developer is going to request some
compact spaces.
Ms. Sherek stated compact spaces work fine in a parking ramp or
against a wall where the appropriate signage is posted that it is
for compact parking only so it can be somewhat controlled.
Mr. Dahlberg asked the Commission if they wanted to add some
language that relates to the issue of compact spaces.
Ms. Dacy stated some compact parking is fairly common now. She
has seen as high as 20� of a parking lot for compact stalls.
Mr. Dahlberg asked if compact stalls have been allowed by variance.
Mr. Barna stated they have never granted a variance for parking
stalls below 9 feet.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that he did not see too much benefit for
compact stalls. Nine feet will make a significant difference in
Fridley. If they get any requests for compact stalls, then those
can always go through the variance process and be judged on an
individual basis.
MOTION by Ms. Sherek, seconded by Mr. Saba, to recommend to the
City Council approval to amend the definition of a parking stall
size from lo ft. x 20 ft. to 9 ft. x 20 ft. with double striping
and retain the language regarding the reduction of stall depth when
abutting a boulevard (Option #3 as presented in the staff report).

6. REVIEW PROPOSED CHANGES TO SIGN ORDINANCE:
Ms. McPherson stated staff incorporated the suggestions discussed
at the September 27, 1989, Planning Commission meeting. Staff has
also received sign ordinances from other cities, the result of
which are in the "Signs" chart located in the agenda. The chart
was limited to deal with those issues that were discussed at the
September 27th meeting: campaign signs, temporary signs, porta
panels, banners, streamers, etc.
Mr. Barna referred to Section 214.04.09, Signs Prohibited in All
Districts: Any signs which are attached to trees, fences, utility
poles or other such permanent supports, not specifica2ly intended
as sign structures.
Mr. Barna stated chain link fences often have the manufacturers'
identification logo on them. Could some wording be added that
allows this type of signage, also warning signs such as "No
Trespassing", etc., on fences?
sM
PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING, OCT. 12. 1989 - __PAGE 14
Ms. McPherson stated staff will amend that section.
Ms. McPherson stated staff improved the definition for banners and
pennants. They also added a definition for non-profit
organization. She would like the Commission to discuss the non-
profit organization issue, as well as Exhibits A and B in the
agenda which deal with specific language for signs by non-profit
organizations.
Ms. McPherson stated under „Political Signs", they made the
suggested recommended changes to the size of the signs and made
the time limits a little more specific. There really wasn't a
consensus on the amount of deposit for political signs, so staff
used the $200 deposit which is consistent with the other temporary
fee requirement.
Mr. Saba stated he agreed with that amount.
Mr. Barna stated the person or organization can always go before
the City Council to have the fee waived.
Mr. Betzold stated he has trouble equating businesses with
political candidates, and he thought $100 would be more reasonable.
Mr. Barna stated the sign ordinance does not prohibit roof signs.
There is still a roof sign on what used to be RaphaeZ's which
should have been removed years ago. Roof signs should be
prohibited in the City of Fridley.
Mr. Betzold agreed with the prohibition of roof signs.
Ms. McPherson stated she thought there should be some clarification
on special event signs. Did the Commission want bills and posters
to require a deposit also? They have added the language that
prohibits such signs on utility poles and non sign-like structures.
Mr. Betzold stated after what he saw this summer where the use of
posters was abused in the City of Fridley, he never wanted to see
anything like that again. People should be discouraged from
putting the bills and posters on utility poles. Garage sale signs
can always be put on posts in the ground with the property owner's
permission. He stated he is less concerned about the garage sale
notices that are put up and taken down within a few days, than he
is about the bills and posters.
Mr. Barna stated the ordinance should address recycling signs. They
should be allowed in the public right-of-way.
Ms. Dacy stated those signs could be added to the list of signs
permitted in all districts.
6N
pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCT. 12. 1989 - PAGE 15
Ms. McPherson stated at the last meeting, the Commission discussed
the issue of requiring two penaits per year for non-profit
organizations. In going through the ordinances received from other
cities, there were two cities, Champlin and Brooklyn Center, that
allowed non-profit organizations special consideration for signage,
banners, porta-panels, etc., over business temporary signs. That
is the language in Exhibit A and Exhibit B. Does the Commission
want to include that type of language in the ordinance or do they
want to change the temporary sign ordinance to allow more signs?
What does the Commission want to do to resolve the issues of the
churches and schools and other non-profit organizations in the
issue of two permits per year?
Mr. Betzold suggested that rather than say "non-profit"
organizations, they refer to them as "community organizations".
Non-profit does have a very specific meaning. The non-profit
organization has to have some connection with the City of Fridley
as they do not want non-profit organizations from another city
wanting to put up banners in the City of Fridley. It should be a
civic community organization located within the City of Fridley.
Ms. McPherson stated that under "Special Event Signs", item B
states that "Signs over the public right-of-way must have City
Council approval." However, the two exhibits from Champlin and
Brooklyn Center call out the fact that there might be signs
existing that are not on the property where the event is being
held, and they have restrictions on those signs that are allowed.
That becomes another issue. Does the Commission want to allow
signage on property other than that owned by the organization?
Mr. Barna stated some non-profit organizations such as the Jaycees
do not own their own property.
Ms. Dacy stated she did not think they should be encouraging off-
premise signs. All signs should be on the owner's property.
Mr. Dahlberg stated it is virtually impossible for the Commission
to anticipate and come up with language for every conceivable
situation that can occur in the City of Fridley.
Ms. Dacy stated both the Champlin and Brooklyn Park ordinances
would be good if they want the ability for the Jaycees or Lions
Club to put up off-premise signage for special events. Those
ordinances list specific standards for signs on or off the
organization's property.
Mr. Betzold stated Exhibit B spells out the requirements a little
better.
Mr. Saba stated Exhibit B seems easier to understand and allows a
little more leeway for non-profit organizations.
. •
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCT. 12, 1989 - PAGE 16
Ms. McPherson stated the language in Exhibit B does not include a
permit, but they could have the organization fill out a permit so
the City knows when the sign is going up, when it will come down,
and who is the responsible party.
Ms. Sherek agreed there should be a permit, but she also thought
there should a refundable deposit.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that since it is a temporary sign, a deposit
would fall under that category.
Mr. Dahlberg suggested the following changes to Exhibit B:
(i) Add some language that states that all signs except
readerboards shall not exceed a certain square footage.
(2) Signs shall not be posted in excess of �=-'-�^� fourteen
.--.
(14) days �rior to the event and shall be removed no
later than *_�?�= ;�; f ive ( 5) days fol lowing the f inal
date of the event.
(4) He would suggest staff add a statement similar to one
Item 1 in Exhibit A: "If building mounted, these signs
shall be flat wall signs and shall not project above the
roof line. If ground mounted, the top shall be no more
than six (6) feet above ground level."
Ms. McPherson stated they will add an item (7) and item (8) to
Exhibit B for controls on the penait and the deposit.
Mr. Betzold stated he would like the definition of non-profit
organizations changed to community organizations•that include non-
profit organizations, churches, civic organizations, etc., located
within the City of Fridley.
Mr. Dahlberg stated wherever non-profit organization occurs in the
ordinance, it should be changed to community organization.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he again wanted to raise his objection to signs
over the right-of-way, even the language does state that signs are
allowed over the right-of-way with Council approval. He personally
objected to those signs across roadways.
Mr. DahZberg stated the ordinance refers to the number of permits
allowed with specific instances based on zoning. It doesn't
specifically address the issue of non-profit organizations. Non-
profit organizations fall into a separate category. It was his
personal opinion that it would work better to include in Section
214.16 under Sign Permit Requirements a chart or table that
illustrates the number of permits allowed and how many permits per
year for each of the zoning districts and/or types of uses, i.e.,
non-profit organizations. It is like taking item 6 out of the
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCT. 12. 1989 - PAGE 17
other sections and consolidating each one into the sign permit
requirement section.
Ms. McPherson stated right now the interpretation is that non-
profit organizations can only have two permits per year which would
include up to 12 signs for each permit. Did the Commission want
to change the "two" to a larger number?
Mr. Dahlberg stated he would suggest they look at a larger number.
Mr. Barna agreed. Since non-profit organizations are dependent on
volunteer workers, it is hard to say how many special events they
� will have.
Mr. Betzold stated he did not see any organization having that many
activities where it would be a problem.
Ms. Dacy stated she would prefer to have the non-profit
organizations not even referred to in the original ordinance but
in a completely separate section.
Ms. McPherson stated non-profit organizations could be added as
item (9) in Exhibit 8.
Mr. Saba and Ms. Sherek agreed that the non-profit organizations
should be included in the chart or table in Section 214.16.
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to recoaunend to City
Council approval of the amendments as discussed, to incorporate
Exhibit B to cover community organizations, and to request those
requirements be included in a table or chart for easy perusal.

REQUEST
RMS Company, located at 980 Osborne Road N.E. is requesting to
rezone Outlot 1 of Nagele's Woodlands from C-2, General Business
to M-1, Light Industrial, the same being 990 Osborne Road N.E.
SITE
The outlot is currently zoned C-2, General Business. Adjacent uses
to the site are M-1, Light Industrial to the west and south, and
additional C-2 to the east. RMS Company is requesting the rezoning
in order for the expansion of their existing building at 980
Osborne Road to be in compliance with the Code. The petitioner is
also applying for a variance to increase the lot coverage and
reduce the hardsurface setback from the building.
ANALYSIS
In analyzing whether a rezoning should be granted, the City should
evaluate whether the proposed zoning district will be compatible
with existing uses and zoning. The outlot is a very small parcel
within and adjacent to a second larger parcel of C-2, General
Business. However, the two lots are currently surrounded by M-1,
Light Industrial. Therefore, the rezoning of the outlot would be
compatible with existing uses and zoning. It is possible that the
M-1 zoning east of the C-2 zoning would be rezoned to C-2, making
the VFW a conforming use. However, the uses would still be
compatible. Given the parcel's small size and given it will be
used for a small portion of the proposed addition to the RMS
building and as a parking area, rezoning the parcel to M-1 is
appropriate.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the request,
ZOA #89-05, by RMS Company, with the following stipulations:
l. A grading and drainage plan shall be submitted for approval
prior to the issuance of a building permit.
2. A landscape plan with underground irrigation shall be
submitted for approval prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
3. The rezoning of Outlot 1 of Nagele's Woodlands shall be
contingent upon approval of the variance request, VAR #89-26.

PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of

as recoaimended by staff.

Commission action.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF OCTOBER 15, 1979 Page 5
Councilwoman Moses stated she has looked at the site and the garage is pro-
posed to be three feet from the building. She stated she understands that
Mr. Anderson wants the garage to store his vehicles. She felt industrial
.development has to conform to a certain design, and tooking at this particular
lot, putting in the garage would not make the appearance better in terms of
•an industrial area.
Mr.. Anderson stated he has been trying to sell the property, but needs the
garage to work on his vehicles. He requested at least a temporary permit�
since the building he proposes to put up could be taken down at some future
�date.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he would be of the opinion that the Council
►+ou1d not have the authority to allow the owner to construct or enlarge the
residential structure on the premises and that would include building a garage
-for residential purposes. He stated, however, if this building is to be used
for industrial purposes and meets the requirements of the zoning code for use
.as an industrial purpose, then he would say the Council would have the author-
�ity to permit the construction of this steel garage, provided the necessary
variances are obtained and a case can be made that there is a hardship that
.would entitle him to the variances.
Mayor Nee questioned what variances would be needed in order to permit him
to construct the garage. Mr. Qureshi stated a 20 foot setback from the property
line is required, therefore, a variance woutd be needed for this requirement.
:Councilman Barnette felt, based on the City Attorney's opinion, that the garage
-could be permitted if it was used for industrial purposes and suggested, if
-the 30 x 32 foot steel garage was built, it should be with the stipulation
that the garage would be removed upon sale of the property and that the pro-
:perty not be sold for residential habitation with the garage on the property.
Louncilman Barnette stated he didn't think Mr. Anderson would sell the property
for residential use. Mr. Anderson stated he wouldn't because the house isn't
worth anything.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he would have some question if Councilman
Barnette's suggestion, regarding the stipulation, was enforceable since he
was .saying the property could be sold for residential purposes, providing the
garage was taken down.
Councilman 6arnette stated what �1r. Anderson is requesting now is a temporary
use of his property to get a garage up to maintain his equipment.
Mr. Anderson stated it has come to a point where he has to have someplace to
work on his vehicles during the winter. He stated he would be agreeable to
Councilman Barnette's suggestion to take the garage down.
Mr. Herrick felt Councilman Barnette's suggestion is probably a good compromise,
i however, if Council takes action it should be done in terms of a stipulation
j. _%•.--� and should be filed in the abstract so persons are aware the garage is a temp-
�� , orary structure and it has to be removed if the property is sold. He felt
;�-'` there should also be some limitation on the number of years the garage could
; l- be there so it is not permitted beyond a certain time, even if the property
isn't sold.
Mr. Qureshi felt there should be an effort to clean up the front yard of the
property and provide some screening.
Councilwoman Floses stated, in other industrial areas, they are required to
fence and screen the equipment and stated this property r�ould look a lot better,
if this was done.
F1r. Qureshi felt the question is if they should proceed with a variance.
Mr. Herrick stated if the permit is to be gi�en for the garage, he would have
to obtain the required variances.
Mr. Nee stated, if Councilman Barnette makes a motion, in line with his su9-
gestion, and it is adopted by Council, it would also intend to grant the vari-
ance so que�tioned if they could expedite the variance procedure.

PUBLIC__HEARiNG MEETING OF OCTOBER 15, 1979
Page 6
Mr. Boardman asked Mr. Anderson if there was any way he could build the
garage on the property so a variance wouldn't be required. Mr. Anderson
stated he would be driving across someone else's property. if it was put
in another way.
Councilwoman Moses felt they would be expanding a non-conforming use and
indicated she was not in favor of it.
Mr. Anderson stated he would never have rezoned the property, if he knew
he couldn't have a garage. He stated he rezoned it for the benefit of the
City in order to provide more industrial land. He stated he could go to
the neighboring property owner and get their approva] to put the garage
within five feet of the property line.
Mayor Nee felt there were two questions involved, the first one is whether
or not Councilman Barnette's suggestion in the form of a motion would be
approved; and if it carries, there is the question of the variance.
Mr. Boardman stated Mr. Anderson does have enough land so he could construct
the garage, without the need of a variance. Mr. Anderson stated, if this
was done, he would have to make a turn and go over his grass.
Councilman Barnette stated, if the garage'coUld be located so as to avoid
the need for a variance, it vtould save considerable time.
Fir. Qureshi stated Council could make a motion gi�•ing him authority to proceed,
if the variance is not required.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to approve the request by Mr. Anderson to build
a 30 x 32 foot steel prefabricated garage on this non-conforming use property,
with the stipulation that the garage be removed upon the sale of the property,
or 10 years from this date, whichever comes first. and that the property not
be sold for residential habitation, with the garage on the property. Seconded
by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Mr. Flerrick, City Attorney, stated if the motion passes, he would like staff
to have the autf�ority to prepare the substance of the motion into a viable
agreement.
Councilwoman Moses stated she is sympathetic to Mr. Anderson's need for a gar-
age, but felt the whole area should be cleaned up.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, Councilman Barnette, Councilman
Fitzpatrick, Councilman Schneider and Mayor Nee voted in favor. Councilwoman
Moses voted against the motion. Ftayor Nee declared the motion carried by a
4 to 1 vote.

As per your request, staff has developed bid specifications for
Citywide Curbside Collection of Residential Recyclables, for the
twelve month period beginning January 1, 1990 and ending December
31, 1990. The current six month contract with Super Cycle, Inc.,
expires December 31, 1989.
Because we are in the process of developing a long range solid
waste strategy, the proposed bid specifications do not include any
expansion of service. It was determined that any expansion in
service should come as a result of the on-going fact finding
process. There is, however, an option to include office paper
collection at Fridley Municipal Center. This service was
discontinued after Super Cycle's reorganization in May 1989.

SOBJECT: Elevated Water Reservoir Design
Within the Water Distribution Study completed by HNTB, it was
recommended that a 1 MG elevated water reservoir be located in the
low level section of the distribution system to provide adequate
water pressure and fire protection.
The study also recommended that a preferred site for a 1 MG
reservoir would be within the Locke Park area.
Target Corporation is constructing an expansion to their warehouse
facilities adjacent to Locke Park and are interested in improving
their fire safety requirements.
We have received a letter from Target indicating they would fund
the design of a/]elevated water storage tank at Locke Park for an
amount not to exceed $50,000.00.
We have received an agreement from HNTB to investigate and design
a 1 MG elevated water reservoir for $39,000.00 plus any soil
investigation costs not to exceed $5,000.00.
In order to insure adequate water capacity and pressure to the low
level system of the City, recommend the City Council authorize the
Mayor to enter into the agreement with HNTB to design a 1 MG
elevated water reservoir at Locke Park.
This project had been identified in our 1991 Capital Improvement
Program within the Water Utility Fund.

Re: T-551 Target Distribution Center Expansion Water Supplies
Dear John:
. �
This is to confirm our conversation regarding the City's five year
capital improvement plan which includes the construction of a one million
gallon reservoir at the Locke Park facility at 69th and University.
It is our understanding that the current planning would call for the design
of the tank in 19g1, construction in 1992, and final painting/operation in
1993. This would be 2+ years after Target occupies its expanded facility
in January of 1991.
This capital improvement is necessary to ensure Target that ad�quate City
water supply and distribution is available to protect our major distribution
facility at Fridley.
Target desires that the City of Fridley accelerate this schedule and make
any and all reasonable efforts to have the new reservoir in service by
January of 1991 when the expansion is occupied.
To support this effort, Target has agreed to pay the design fees, to a
maximum of $50,000, such that this work can begin immediately. The City
of Fridley, in turn, would do what is necessary to allow construction of the
tank to begin in early 1990 such that the tank can be painted and put in
service by January of 1991.
Could you advise us of the timing and action required to accelerate the
construction of this new reservoir.

SIIBJECT: C.A.T.V. HEADEND FOR E%TERNAL MONITOR LOCATIONS
(CIiANGE ORDER NO. 2 FOR CONSIILTANT CONTRACT FOR TECHNICAL
SYSTEM FOR THE FRIDLEY MIINICIPAL CENTER)
DATE: OCTOBER 18� 1989
On Friday, October 13, 1989, I had a telephone conversation with
Dickson Stewart of Electronic Interiors in which I sought
clarification of their proposal to design an in-house CATV
' distribution system for the Municipal Center. The design
activities would include the•following steps:
1. Check all cables and carry out electrical tests for
length and impedance.
2. Channel coordination with Nortel to make sure of their
plans for the various channels in the system.
3. Design tap system so that the right amount of gain is
delivered to each monitor location (splitters, combiners,
attenuators, boosters, etc.)
4. Lay out a backboard with passive components such as taps,
attenuators, and splitters.
5. Design headend (active components) such as connection of
text information computer; establishment of audio-video
monitoring point; design of modulators, demodulators,
traps, and filters; tie into existing control room.
6. Develop specifications and cost estimates for equipment
and installation.
7. Manage bid process.
Mr. Stewart's rough estimate for the cost of equipment and
installation is between $10,000 and $15,000 with about $3,000 of
that being for installation. This would be the cost to complete
all twenty-one connections. A portion of the project could be done
for a lesser amount leaving completion of the project to a later
date.
The main alternative would be an entirely passive system using
splitters to provide a weak signal to all locations. It would
still require remodulators and traps and would cost $4,000 or
$5,000 for equipment and about $1,500 for installation. There
would be no cost for design. This would result in significant
degradation of the CATV signal to Council monitors and kiosks. I
would not recommend this alternative.
12A
A third alternative would be to provide a direct drop to the Fire
Department and to the Emergency Operation Center, to connect the
kiosks and cablecasting areas to the rest of the system, and not
to connect the other external monitor locations until some future
date. There would be very little cost for this option if Nortel
would be willing to provide the drops - probably $300 or $400 to
install taps.
I request that you resubmit Change Order No. 2 to the City Council
for consideration at their meeting of October 23, 1989.

Mr. Bill Hunt

Dear Mr. Hunt:
This letter will act as our proposal for services to develop
and d��igr: th� City �f Fridley's ir_-house cable television
distribution system within the city hall.
The scope of the requirement is to design electronic systems
that would be located throuqhout the building, but primarily
in the television distribution racks. The system desiqn would
address the needs of the City of Fridley's staff for in-house
cable casting and redistribution of the cable television feed
from the local cable television franchise.
The system design will allow "closed-circuit" distributioa of
any selected source from the monitoring room for distribution
to various locations in the buildinq. This would be an a
special channel so that each of the in-building viewers could
watch the feed optionally. An additional special channel will
be provided for constant source output such as a text driver.
In addition, the standard cable service will be available,
minus two non-critical channels selected for replacement with
the in-building feeds. It is our understanding that some sets
will be limited to the "basic cable service" plus the two
special channels and that other selected locations will have
full cable decoder boxes as well.
As usual, our design will be complete with technical locatioa
and wiring drawings. i,Te will include equiptaent requirements,
quantities, installation and bid format specifications. The
system will be designed to fit within the current monitoring
room configuration and the RF cables already installed by
others under previous contracts.

BUBJECT: CHANGE ORDER NO. 2 FOR CONSIILTANT CONTRACT FOR TECHNICAL
BYSTEM FOR THE FRIDLEY MIINICIPAL CENTER
DATE: BEPTEMBER 27, 1989
In a meeting to review progress on the installation and testing of
the technical system we discovered that no provision has been made
for the CATV headend for the home run system connecting 21 external
monitor locations. The CATV headend would distribute a signal from
the VCR, from one channel, or from all CATV channels to the various
external monitor locations. It is my understanding that the full
range of CATV channels would be made available to the three
external monitor locations in the Fire Department and to the
external monitor location in the Emergency Operations Center.
This change order is for design only. Another change order would
be required for purchase and installation of equipment.
I request that you present Change Order No. 2 to the City Council
for consideration at their meeting of October 2, 1989.

Attached you will find a resolution amending appropriations to the
1988 budget in accordance with our charter. Normally this would
be handled earlier, however with the increased activities we have
unable to it completed until now.
The adjustments listed have arisen as a result of state mandates
i.e. comparable worth, unforseen expenditures i.e. miscellaneous
costs associated with remodeling, and insufficient budgets in some
categories while others categories are excessive. Hopefully the
implementation of our new budgeting procedures will bring this
list to a minimum number of adjustments for 1990.

SUBJECT: COMPUTER CONSULTANT OVERVIEW
DATE: OCTOBER 18, 1989
15
Chapel Consulting, Inc. was engaged by the City on August 18, 2987, to assist
in improving the quality and effectiveness of its information processing systems.
There were three phases to this plan. Phases I and II were partially completed
with the purchase of Personal Computers. A major cause for delay has been the
need for City staff to spend increasing amounts of time on the City Hall
remodeling project. We could only commit to the purchase of Personal Computers.
The uncompleted portion of Phase II includes;
* Acquisition of new hardware for the Administrative System
* Acquisition of the following software:
fund/budget accounting reporting payroll
personnel cash disbursements
cash receipts purchasing
utility billing asset accounting
project costing project management
work order management project cost estimating
warehouse parts inventory class registration
facilities scheduling team and league management
mailing list management irrventory/asset management
building permitting special use permitting
business licensing business contacts
ENFORS data file management casewriter
ENFORS report generator case management
street inventory appraisal data base
pin number/street address street address/polling
equipment costing liquor store merchandizing
* Upgrading the Public Safety System hardware with the existing
Administrative hardware and disposing of the existing Public Safety System
CPU
* Acquisition of computer sided design (CAD) system
* Acquisition of engineering design tools
The last two items on the above list were intentionally deferred pending on the
outcome of the Anoka County Geographic Information System (GIS) Task Force to
acquire a GIS for the City. This is one example of changes in circumstances and
perceptions at the City that have resulted in changing system requirements.
Changes in computer technology have also caused the plan to become outdated.
15A
In summary, because of the time delay, we would like to bring back Chapel
Consulting to assist us in completing the following:
Phase I: Re-assess the City's system needs, analyze the cost of viable
alternatives, and update the original S-year plan to include changes
in technology and needs of the City. (i.e. GIS vs. CAD)
Phase II: Prepare a detailed request for proposal (RFP), solicit bids and
select the new hardware, software and services included in the
updated plan.
Phase III: Implement the new hardware, software and services included in the
updated plan.
After reviewing with Chapel Consulting the activities and objectives to be
accomplished with this phase of computerization, the following proposed fees are
requested by Chapel:

Dear Rick:
The purpose of this letter is to summarize the status of data
processing at the City, to review the work we have done under
our contract with the City and to propose changes to that
original agreement. As we discussed last week, it is hard to
believe that almost two years have passed since we were first
engaged by the City.
CURRENT STATUS OF AUTOMATION
The City is using two Texas Instruments minicomputers and
thirty-two personal computers (PCs). One of the minicomputers
is used exclusively by the Police and Fire Departments. The
other is used primarily by the Finance Department.
The PCs are used in all departments for word processing,
spreadsheeting, desk top publishing and other specific
functions. �
A Computer Requirements and Planning Study was completed March
15, 1988. This Plan identified the new systems to be acquired
or developed by the City during each of the years 1988 through
Z992.
During 1988 and early 1989, twenty-nine PCs were acquired.
Word processing, spreadsheet, desk top publishing and other PC
software was also acquired during 1988. The Fire Department
software was moved to the existing Administrative System. The
Fire Department also acquired a hazardous materials data base
system. All of these actions were carried out according to
the Plan.

The City did not do everything that was scheduled for 1988 and
1989. The planned actions which were not performed are:
o Acquisition of new hardware for the Administrative
System
o Acquisition of fund/budget accounting and reporting
software
o Acquisition of utility billing software
o Acquisition of purchasing software
o Acquisition of cash disbursements software
o Acquisition of cash receipts software
o Acguisition of payroll software
o Acquisition of personnel software
o Acquisition of project costing software
o Acquisition of class registration software
o Acquisition of building permitting software
o Acquisition of equipment costing and management
software
o Acquisition of business licensing software
o Acquisition of a data communications link between the
Administrative System and the nature center, senior
citizen center and the garage
o Acquisition of project management software
o Acquisition of facilities scheduling software
o Acquisition of team and league management software
o Acquisition of inventoryfasset management software
o Development in-house of a new appraisal data base
o Development in-house of parcel identification
number/street address cross reference software
o Acquisition of all the ENFORC data file management
utility software
o Upgrading the Public Safety System hardware with the
existing Administrative System hardware and disposing
of the existing Public Safety CPU
o Acquisition of case manaqement software
o Acquisition of business contacts software
o Acquisition of the ENFORC report generator software
o Expansion of the data communications link between the
Public Safety system and the CJIS
o Acquisition of a computer aided design (CAD) system
o Acquisition of engineering design software
The last two items on the above list were intentionally
deferred pending the outcome of the Anoka County Geographic
Information System (GIS) Task Force effort to acquire a GIS
for the City. Most of the remaining items listed were delayed
because of the delay in acquiring new hardware for the
Administrative System.

CHAPEL CONSULTING'S CONTRACT WITH CITY
15D
Chapel Consulting, Inc. was engaged by the City on August 18,
1987, to assist in improving the quality and effectiveness of
its information processing systems. Our approach, as
described in our proposal dated July 31, 1987, was to divide
the project into three phases as follows:
Phase I- Assess the City's Systems Needs, Analyze the
Cost of Viable Alternatives and Prepare a
Long Range Data Processing Plan
Phase II - Prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP),
Solicit Bids and Select the New Hardware,
Software and Services Planned for Immediate
Acquisition
Phase IZI - Implement the New Hardware, Software and
�Services.
Originally, Phases I and II were scheduled for completion by
December 31, 1987. Phase I was actually completed on March
15, 1988. Phases II and III have been partially completed
with the acquisition of the PCs in 1988 and their subsequent
implementation. A major cause for the delay has been the need
for City staff to spend increasing amounts of time on the City
Hall remodeling project. Staff has been unable to devote
enough time to the computer acquisition project to keep it on
schedule.
PROPOSED REVISION TO EXISTING CONTRACT
A. Ut�date The Computer Plan
The City is nearly ready to proceed with acquisition �f the
hardware and software originally scheduled for acquisition in
1988 and 1989. We are prepared to assist the City in making
these acquisitions under the tenas of our original agreement.
However, it has become apparent to both the City and us that
an intermediate step should be taken before any new
acquisitions are made. Before any new system acquisitions are
made, the City should update its Computer Plan. This Plan was
completed over a year ago and was prepared under the
assumption that it would be updated annually. Changes in
circumstances and perceptions at the City have resulted in
changing system requirements. Changes in computer technology
have also caused the Plan to become outdated.
We propose modifying our existing contract with the City to
reflect the need to update the Plan. We are well qualified to
do this wark for the City because of our past involvement in
preparing the original Plan and our ongoing work with the
City.
Mr. Richard D. Pribyl
September 18, 1989
Page Four
our fees and expenses to update the Plan will be $6,000.
This work should be done as soon as possible so that the City
can proceed with acquiring the new systems it needs. An
approximate timetable (assuming no delays by the City) is:

As stated earlier in this letter, we are prepared to complete
the original project according to the terms of our existing
agreement with the City. However, we would like to point out
that the lengthy delay in completing the project has caused us
to spend considerably more time working with the City than
originally anticipated. An additional problem was created
when the City decided to acquire the PCs and the new
Administrative System in two separate procurement processes.
This decision will eventually result in our participation in
two sets of vendor reviews and contract negotiations.
We estimate that the combination of these two factors will
cause us to spend an additional eighty hours of unplanned
time. Therefore, we respectfully request a fee expansion of
$4,800 to the original agreement. This is the value of the
unplanned time at the hourly rates for professional services
in effect two years ago when we first entered into our
agreement with the City.

C. Fee Summarv
The total of new fees proposed in this 2etter is $10,800.
This amount added to the remainder (S8,250) of our existing
agreement with the City will totaZ $19,050. The original
budget, the amount remaining of that budget, the proposed new
fees and the total fees to complete the project are shown
here:

This revised total includes our assistance in updating the
Computer Plan and acquiring and implementing all systems
identified for acquisition in 1988 and 1989. It includes
assistance in acquiring and implementing a CAD system in the
Engineering Department and a link to the Anoka County property
tax data base in the assessor's office. It also includes
assistance in high level planning for a parcel data base (such
as identifying usage by each department).
This total does not include any assistance in acquiring and
implementing a GIS or a parcel data base.
If you agree with this letter, please sign below and return a
copy to me as our authorization to proceed. This letter will
become an attachment to our original agreement with the City
dated August 18, 1987, su3�ject to the terms and conditions
stated therein.

SUBJECT: TRANSFER AND CLOSE OIIT OF WATER BONDS DEBT SERVICE FIIND
DATE: OCTOBER 18, 1989
Attached you will find a resolution which would close the Water
Bonds Debt Service Fund. This fund was established in 1965 to
service the debt issued for waterworks supply and storage purposes.
The resolution will allow a transfer of the balance of the funds,
which were accumulated for the retirement of debt, to the Water
Enterprise Fund. The balance at December 31, 1988 was $26,020.97.
The accumulated funds must be utilized in a nature that is similar
to the original intent of the retired bonds. Therefore, the best
use of the funds would be for utilization in the Water Fund for
improvements or supplies.
