OPEN FORUM. VISITORS:
SHARED RIDE TAXI SERVICE:
Mr. Elwyn Tinklenberg, representing Anoka County, stated that he
appreciated this opportunity to address the Council reqarding a
transit program. He stated that Anoka County was involved in a
transit needs study and, as part of this idea, new services were
proposed in the County that exist north of Osborne Road. He stated
�RIDL$Y CITY COONCIL M8$TINa OF OCT088R 1. 1990 PAQB 2
that this service operated as a weekend fixed route that did not
provide the need as intended nor did it attract the ridership.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that one of the alternatives proposed was
a dial-a-ride for persons to call for a van to take them where they
want to go in Anoka County. He stated that this service was
implemented in Auqust, primarily north of Osborne Road. He stated
that there was a concern expressed that this did not service the
southern portion of the County and the cities of Hilltop, Columbia
Heights, and Fridley. Mr. Tinklenberg stated that concern was
expressed by Councilman Billings and Commissioners Kordiak and
McCarron.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that the County reviewed ways of expanding
the service and has a temporary proposal to implement service as
soon as possible. He stated that what is proposed is an expansion
of the service that exists in Columbia Heiqhts that is a shared
ride taxi service. He stated that the program would be expanded
into Fridley and provide door-to-door service for persons calling
the Anoka County Traveler phone number. He stated that people
would be picked up and taken to any areas in Hilltop, Columbia
Heights or Fridley. He stated that if they wanted to travel in
other areas of the County, they would be taken to a transfer site
where the County's traveler van would take them to other
destinations in the County. Mr. Tinklenberg stated that one of the
transfer coordination points is Northtown. He stated that it is
hoped this plan could be implemented as quickly as possible and be
available by December 1, 1990.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that it is hoped the details on this
proposal could be worked out with staff and persons responsible in
Hilltop, Columbia Heights, and Fridley. He stated that the plan
would then be submitted for the Council's consideration.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that dial-a-ride is currently going through
an eighteen-month demonstration period and will be reviewed in
twelve months to determine how the program is working. He stated
that if they continue this service, it would be available in all
areas of the County. He stated that the fee for the ride would be
$1.00 for a one-way trip, if a person called in advance, otherwise
the fee would be $1.50.
Councilman Billings stated that he understands the $1.00 fee would
be borne by the rider and asked what expenses would be borne by the
City.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that the only expense to the City would be
involvement by City staff in regard to the marketing and
coordination of the service. He stated that there would not be any
direct costs.
�RIDL$Y CITY COIINCIL �IB$TINQ O� OCTOBBR 1. 1990 PAa$ 3
Councilman Billings asked what the response was to the Anoka County
Traveler since this service was initiated in Auqust.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that the response has been somewhat
overwhelming. He stated that they have had to add additional
vehicles and revise some of the schedulinq operations in order to
respond to the large nwaber of calls. He stated that they have
approximately two hundred standinq orders each day.
Councilman Billinqs asked if cities in Anoka County were continuing
to operate their local vehicles to transport senior citizens for
the lunch proqrams and questioned this current proposal's impact.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that the communities that have existing van
service are still operating this service. He stated it is intended
that the Anoka County Traveler provide a phase-in service over a
period of time. He stated that he did not think this proposed plan
would impact the existing transportation of the senior citizens.
He stated that service is funded and provided through some of the
community organizations and that it would be totally up to the
Council � they wanted to continue this operation. He stated it
is not the intent that the Traveler displace this service.
Councilman Billings stated that it seems the Anoka County Traveler
has been very successful in the first several months of operation
and asked Mr. Tinklenberg about the funding.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that he believed funding would continue as
it currently exists, but perhaps in a different ratio. He stated
that he felt funding would be provided by the Regional Transit
Board and the County.
Councilman Billinqs stated that the reason he became actively
involved and contacted Commissioners Kordiak and McCarron was
because he felt very sliqhted that the three cities in Anoka County
that have the largest populations per square mile were excluded
from this service. He stated that Mr. Tinklenberg's proposal is
in reaction to the concerns of Commissioners Kordiak and McCarron.
He stated that this is really not what he would like for Fridley
and felt the entire County should have been treated equally. He
asked Mr. Tinklenberq what type of service he envisioned.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that they are proposing a central phone
number for scheduling and dispatching. He stated that this is a
transit service, not a taxi service, which means that if people
are scheduling their rides they need to build in some flexibility
in that the vehicle may be pickinq up other people. He stated that
he felt if there was one dispatcher, and if the vehicles are
connected by radio, the transfers could be made as efficiently as
those provided by the MTC system.
�RIDLBY CITY COIINCZL I[EBTI�a OF OCTOB R 1, 1990 PAG$ 4
Councilman Schneider asked why Fridley did not qualify for the
Anoka County Traveler service.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that the reason for this proposal is because
this service could be placed into operation quickly and could be
expanded with Morley and shared ride taxi service without going out
for bids. He stated that, in terms of the cost, certain funds were
allocated for this project, and if the Traveler service was
expanded into this area, there would be a significant increase in
the cost and displacement of an existing service in Columbia
Heights where it is working very well.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that Columbia Heights' shared ride
service does not have the same hours as the County program.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated the proposal is that the service hours would
be expanded for the Anoka County Traveler program so that the
service hours are the same as the other areas of the County.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if there were any transf� points
between Anoka County and Hennepin County.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that the only transfer points would be
between the Anoka County Traveler and the MTC service. He stated
that he believed some of the volunteer ride programs and Metro
Mobility provide service to other counties. He stated that the
Traveler strictly provides service within Anoka County.
Mayor Nee asked Mr. Tinklenberg what action was needed on the
Council's part reqarding this proposal.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that he would like a letter from the Council
to the Anoka County Board indicating that they support this
expansion concept. He stated that there are a number of details
to be worked out, and a staff person would need to be available to
coordinate and market plans.
Councilman Schneider felt that this proposal would provide a
siqnificant service to the residents of Fridley. He stated that
he was not happy Fridley was not included in the original plan.
Mayor Nee asked if any of the Councilmembers felt that they did
not want to support this proposal.
Councilwoman Jorqenson stated that she would support the program,
but she would like to see it continued into other counties.
Mayor Nee felt that there would be a lot of residents who would be
delighted to have transportation to Northtown for shopping.
Councilman Billings stated that he felt the County Board was well
aware of the fact that the City did not think they were being
{
�'RIDLEY CITY CODNCIL liBBTIN�i OP' OCTOBBR 1. 1990 PlIG$ S
treated equally with the rest of the County. He felt that a letter
could probably be written reqardinq the fact that the City was not
pleased with beinq eliminated from the proqram when it beqan.
Councilman Fitzpatrick questioned what commitment a letter of
support would involve.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that a letter in support of this proposal
would allow the County to work with City staff to put the finishinq
touches on the program. He stated that the proposal would be
submitted to the anoka County Transit Advisory Committee and County
Board because there are some additional funds that would have to
be made available for marketing. He stated that there are no
direct costs to the City of Fridley. He stated that a letter of
support would only commit the City to the interim proposal.
Councilwoman Jorqenson asked Mr. Burns if there is staff available
to handle the marketing or if additional personnel would be
necessary.
Mr. Burns, City Manaqer stated that, at this point, he did not know
what would be involved by staff in the marketinq. He stated that
Jim Froehle has been the liaison for these kinds of services, and
he would imaqine that Jim would fill this role. He stated that,
obviously, there would be additional costs for staff time.
Mr. Tinklenberg stated that there is a marketing committee that
works with a marketing firm to assemble the material, and it would
be simply a matter of coordinating and determining how the
marketing might be done in the City. He stated that he did not
think it would involve a large amount of time.
Councilwoman Jorqenson questioned whether or not there may be
confusion in this proposed service versus the local transportation
that transports senior citizens to their conqregate dininq.
Mr. Burns stated that he cannot quarantee there would not be a
problem or some confusion, but felt with an informational program
at the Senior Citizen Center, this could be handled.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he would not like to see this
additional service weaken the service that is currently beinq
provided.
Mayor Nee advised Mr. Tinklenberg that the Council would discuss
this issue later in the meeting and appreciated his presentation.

�RIDLEY CITY COIINCIL l[S$TINa OF OCT088R 1. 1990 PA(i8 6
OLD BUSINESS:
1. YARIANCE VAR #90-18 BY WINFIELD DEVELOPMENTS INC TO
INCREASE THE MAXIMUM S4UARE FOOTAGE OF A FREE-STANDING SIGN
FROM 80 SOUARE FEET TO 104 SOUARE FEET: TO ALLOW A SECOND
F�tEE-STANDING SIGN ALONG THE SAME STREET FRONTAGE; TO ALLOW
AN EXISTING 24 SOUARE FOOT FREE-STANDING SIGN TO REMAIN ON
LOT 4 EXCEPT THE NORTHERLY 35 FEET, LOTS 5 AND 6 BLOCK 1
PACO INDUSTRIAL PARK THE SAME BEING 7110-7190 UNIVERSITY
AVENUE N.E. (TABI,ED 9�/10/90) :
Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a request for
two variances. She stated that one variance is for two siqns,
rather than one sign as permitted by the Code, and the other
variance involves increasinq the square footaqe of a sign from 80
to 104 square feet.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Council approved a setback variance to
locate the existinq monument sign six feet from the property line
and a permit for the siqn was issued on September 30, 1987. She
stated that the area of the sign copy is approximately 24 square
feet. Ms. Dacy stated that in the fall of 1989, the property
manaqer for Winfield Realty, Cynthia Cronin, contacted the Planning
Office reqarding requirements for installing an 80 square foot
pylon sign. She stated that Ms. Cronin was advised in a phone
conversation on September 11, 1989 that the existing sign approved
in 1987 would have to be removed since the maximum allowable square
footage would be exceeded and that two signs would exist per street
frontage.
Ms. Dacy stated that on September 18, 1989, the sign contractor
was advised that the existing sign would have to be removed,
unfortunately, and that the stipulation to remove the sign was not
written on the siqn permit for the 80 square foot sign.
Ms. Dacy stated that since the permit issuance, staff has contacted
Winfield Realty on several occasions to either remove the existing
monument sign or remove the verbiage from the monument sign in
order to comply with the Sign Ordinance. She stated that Winfield
Realty has decided to apply for a variance to retain both signs.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff and the Appeals Commission recommend
denial of the variance.
Ms. Cronin, representing Winfield Realty, stated that this variance
is kind of after the fact as there are two siqns which have been
there for a while. She stated that the monument sign is about four
feet high. She stated that in the summer it is used as a planter,
and it is not seen in the winter due to the snow. She stated that
if they cannot keep the monument sign, they would at least like to
keep the red "W". She stated that they would like to retain the
lRIDLBY CITY COOr1CIL ILBBTI�Q O� OCTOBBR 1. 1990 PAO$ 7
pylon Biqn and the Rice Creek Business Center letterinq on the
monument aiqn, if possible.
Councilman Schneider asked if City staff advised her that the sign
was acceptable or if the pylon siqn was installed, the monwnent
sign would have to be removed.
Ms. Cronin stated that she was aware of this requirement; however,
there was about a seven-month period between the installation of
the siqns and everyone kind of forgot about it. She felt that when
they had to deal with it, they would.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that Ms. Cronin was advised when they
received approval for the pylon siqn that the monument siqn had to
be removed. She felt that this should have been done to preserve
the inteqrity of the Siqn Ordinance.
Councilman Billinqs stated that there seems to be attention called
to the fact that at the time the permit was taken out for the pylon
siqn, Ms. Cronin was told she exceeded the 80 square foot total and
the other siqn would have to be removed. He asked, at that time,
if the pylon siqn was on order.
Ms. Cronin stated that they did not order the sign until they
received the permit.
Mr. Greg Asproth, owner of University Billiards, stated that the
sign does not promote any single business, but promotes the center.
He stated that he realizes it was not properly done, but tearing
off the letterinq and leaving the sign blank would not make it
attractive. He felt that if the lettering was removed, it would
be more noticeable.
Ms. Dacy stated that if they want to remove the letterinq on the
monument sign and leave the bricks, it could be a decorative
planter. She stated that if th� red "W" is left, the question
remains if it is still a sign.
Councilman Schneider stated that there is no requirement that the
monument sign has to remain, and it could be removed.
Mr. Steve Commers, owner of Commers Printinq, stated that they have
wanted the signaqe improved and came up with the pylon sign. He
etated that in trying to improve the siqnage thinqs qot confused,
and they ended up with several different styles. He felt that the
monument sign was not that visible from the beqinninq.
Councilman Billings stated that several years ago there was
discussion by the Council of establishing a policy of working with
developers of multiple occupancy projects to install brick monument
type siqnage that announces the presence of a particular industrial
park. He asked how this particular siqn would relate.
�RIDLBY CITY COIINCIL l[8$TINa OF OCTOBSR 1. 1990 PAQ$ 8
Mr. Robertson, Community Development Director, stated that this was
part of the overall scheme of urban desiqn standards. He stated
that it was envisioned there would be a monument siqn designatinq
an entire complex and involved such developments as the North
University Industrial Park and the East River Road complex;
however, this particular siqn was not envisioned to be part of
these standards.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to qrant Variance Request, VAR
�90-18, with the following stipulation: (1) that all the letters
and writing, other than the "W" for Winfield, be removed on the 24
square foot monument siqn. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Councilwoman Jorqenson questioned if other businesses would be
allowed to do the same.
Councilman Billings stated that they would have to apply for a
variance if they exceed the 80 square feet. He stated that he is
sure this is not the only building in Fridley that has a sign
larger than 80 square feet.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she has a problem when they were
told that the monument siqn had to be removed and felt there may
be others who may install a monument siqn and then apply for a
variance.
Ms. Cronin stated that she was under the impression that the 80
square foot sign was approved. She stated that when it came to
issuing the permit that is when they realized they could not keep
the monument sign. She stated that she had full intentions of
applying for a siqn variance, but she felt there was
miscommunication on both sides.
Mayor Nee stated that the monument sign really does not end up as
a sign with the lettering removed.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, Councilman Billings,
Councilman Fitzpatrick, Councilman Schneider and Mayor Nee voted
in favor of the motion. Councilwoman Jorqenson voted against the
motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried by a 4 to 1 vote.

CHAPTER 605 OF THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY.
MINNESOTA. ENTITLED "INTOXICATING LIQUOR--CLUBS", AND TO
ESTABLISH A NEW CHAPTER 605 ENTITLED "INTOXICATING LI4UOR--
BOTTLE CLUB PERMIT" 1iND AMENDING CHAPTER 11. "GENERAL
PROVISIONS & FEES" lTABLED 9117,[90):
Mr. Hill, Public Safety Director, stated that he and the City
Attorney have reviewed Chapter 605 and found it would be advisable
to repeal this chapter and establish a new chapter. He stated that
there is considerable confusion, not only in Fridley, but the State
in qeneral, as to exactly what a bottle club permit is versus an
intoxicatinq liquor club permit. He stated that the ordinance is
rewritten in lanquage similar to what is permitted by the State,
but will provide more stringent requlations and uniform regulations
with other applicable City ordinances.
Mr. Hill stated that a bottle club permit would be issued by the
State, but the City could have more stringent regulations, charqe
fees over what the State is charginq, and all local requlations
would apply to the bottle club such as hours of sale, conditions
for the permit, etc.
Mr. Hill stated that there was a question raised at the last
meetinq if it would be possible to issue a bottle club permit to
a fast food establishment. He stated that in researchinq this
question, this has been the case for several years throuqhout the
State. He stated that this ordinance is more restrictive than the
State statute in that it removes restaurants, hotels, and resorts
and only if they already had an intoxicatinq liquor license, could
they apply for a bottle club permit.
Councilman Billings asked if all three of the requirements under
Section 605.03 had to be met in order for a permit to be issued.
Mr. Hill stated that No. 1 would be applicable and either No. 2 or
No. 3.

ordinance on first readinq. Seconded by Councilman Schneider.

7. �PPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO THE COMPREHENSIVE SIGN PLAN FOR OLD
COUNTRY BUFFET IN HOLLY CENTER:
Mr. Robertson, Community Development Director, stated that he has
been workinq with Mr. Jerry Wenck and Mr. Gary Jackson regarding
their proposal to amend the Comprehensive Siqn Plan for Holly
Center. iie stated that the owners would like to amend the plan to
mount a new sign on a stucco facia that would be constructed over
the brick parapet wall in order to add the letters "Old Country
Buffet" in 36-inch, individually illuminated red letters.
Mr. Robertson stated that the Housinq & Redevelopment Authority
reviewed this proposal and found it conformed to the Redevelopment
Agreement and Plan. He stated that staff is recommending this
amendment be approved subject to two stipulations which he
outlined.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to concur with the recommendation
of the Housing & Redevelopment Authority and City staff to amend
the Comprehensive Siqn Plan for Holly Center with the following
stipulations: (1) Before the permit is issued, the applicant
provide documented assurance from all other tenants of the center
that they agree to the proposed siqnage with the understanding that
the other tenants would not be able to place their signage on this
particular wall; and (2) The dimensions of the sign "Old County
Buffet" sign and existing signs must conform to the wall sign
requirement (it cannot exceed fifteen times the square root of the
length of the wall). Seconded by Councilman Schneider.
Councilman Schneider questioned the signage and if it was felt that
the additional verbiage "and existing siqns" should be added for
clarification.
Councilman Billinqs asked if someone were to build a one-story
concrete building in the City and elevate the structure above the
normal one story line to make it a continuance of their wal1, if
they could install a siqn. He asked if this proposal is for the
sole purpose of signaqe.
Mr. Robertson stated that staff views it as wall signage. He
stated that the ordinance says a roof sign is separate from a wall
sign and believed there are different dimensions.
Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated that when staff inet with the
petitioners, it was interpreted that this was part of the wall of
the structure. She stated that they also viewed this as an
improvement. She stated she could understand Councilman Billings
analogy; however, if someone built a parapet wall only to install
a wall sign would not be acceptable if it was above the roof line.

This item was considered.earlier in the meetinq after Item 4.
8. APPROVAL OF CONTRACT WITH HNTB FOR ENGINEERING SERVICES TO
�OMPLETE THE REPAIR AND PAINTING OF THE .5 MG WATER TANK:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that three quotes were
received from engineering consultinq firms for the repair,
paintinq, and installation of an altitude valve for the .5 MG water
tank. He stated that the highest quote was from AEC at $25,000 and
SEH was the lowest at $7,370, but SEIi did not include any
inspection fees. He stated that the quote from HNTB was for
$15,350.
Mr. Flora stated that he felt the comprehensive proposal received
from HNTB will be the actual cost of the engineering project for
plans, specifications, and inspection. He stated that the City has
worked with them on past projects and is currently working with
them on the 1.5 MG tower. He felt that because of the critical
timeframe to complete this tank, he would recommend the City enter
into a contract with HNTB for engineerinq services to complete the
repair and paintinq of the .5 MG water tank.
Mr. Flora stated that it is also recommended that the Council
approve a supplemental appropriation of $15,350 to the 1990 Water
Capital Improvement Budget. He stated that this action for the
supplemental appropriation is shown as Item 9 on the agenda.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to authorize the City to enter into
a contract with HNTB for the repair and paintinq of the .5 MG water
tank. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all

appropriation to the 1990 Water Capital Improvement Fund of $15,350
for engineering services for the repair and painting of the .5 MG
water tank. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Councilman Schneider confirmed that this is, basically, a
supplemental appropriation for this year and a deduction from the
1991 budget.

Mr. Hunt, Assistant to the City Manaqer, stated that although the
agenda Btates approval of the 1991 budget of the North Metro
Convention and Tourism Bureau, the action by the Council this
eveninq is merely to receive the budget.
Mr. Charles Cook, Executive Director of the North Metro Convention
and Tourism Bureau, briefly reviewed the budget appropriations for
a total budget of $377,949. He stated that one of the items that
was a tremendous success in 1990 was a tabloid that was inserted
in newspapers in the Dakotas, Wisconsin, Winnipeq, and Thunder Bay.
He stated that this would be expanded in 1991.
Mr. Cook stated that, normally, they would anticipate about an
eight percent increase in revenue in 1991. He stated that,
unfortunately, the economy is very sluggish so they are cautious
and are qoing to take a"wait and see" attitude. He felt that the
hospitality industry will be one of the first to feel the effects,
if there is a short supply of gasoline.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to receive the 1991 budqet of the
North Metro Convention and Tourism Bureau. Seconded by
Councilwoman Jorgenson.
Councilman Billings stated that it seems a number of organizations
were trying to "raid" the North Metro Convention and Tourism
Bureau's funding and asked if these organizations were successful.
Mr. Cook stated that a 1983 law states the monies are for
advertising and promotion. He stated that in the agreement with
the National Sports Center, the Bureau does not pay them a set
amount, but they pay as if the Bureau is biddinq for business.
Co�ncilman Billings stated that he understands some of the Chambers
of Commerce and the North Metro Mayors Association were looking
for funding.
Mr. Cook stated that the North Metro Mayors Association has backed
off. He stated that they want to support the Chambers and now have
an agreement that they will solicit business for them so it is a
legal contract.
Mayor Nee stated that he believes the Bureau has been doinq a very
qood job and is impressed with their efforts.

15. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
EAST RIVER ROADfASIiTON ROAD CONSTRUCTION:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that in the 1970's, Anoka
County hired BRW to study East River Road for a plan to develop
that roadway from Fridley to Anoka. He stated that the County has
been workinq on East River Road and had planned to complete the
segment between Hartman Circle and Glen Creek Road next year. He
stated that, due to lack of funds, this is on hold for 1992 and
1993.
Mr. Flora stated that the Anoka County Highway Department prepared
a preliminary survey of the roadway. He stated that, in that
�RIDLEY CITY COII�TTCIL l[E$TINO OF OCTOHBR 1. 1990 PAa$ 16
process, a number of residents on East River Road raised concern
about the extension of Ashton avenue and presented a petition
November 15, 1990 to the Council indicating that they did not want
to proceed with the extension of Ashton Avenue. He stated that in
the BRW study for upgrading East River Road, it is envisioned that
the Ashton Avenue right-of-way, which extends north from 71st to
just beyond Logan Parkway, would provide a service road. He stated
that the County is identifying the available right-of-way and
incorporatinq plans for the extension of Ashton Avenue. Mr. Flora
stated that once the Highway Department completes preliminary
plans, a public hearinq will be conducted to obtain neiqhborhood
comments. He stated that after the hearinq, plans would be revised
to incorporate any chanqes and at that time, it would be
appropriate to analyze the Ashton Avenue extension. He stated
that, at this time, there aren't any explicit plans on the scope
or cost. He stated that if the Council feels Ashton Avenue should
not be extended, it would be the time to notify the County so they
do not focus on this plan.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that there is a petition in
opposition to the proposed extension of Ashton Avenue. He stated
the petitioners have been assured that before any action would be
taken, there would be hearinqs. He stated that if the Council is
opposed to this extension and does not intend to ever approve of
it, time and money could be saved if this is stated now. He stated
that his own position is that he does not support the construction
of a service road, as persons living there do not want it.
Mayor Nee asked if there would be an assessment on those properties
for the improvement.
Mr. Flora stated that the schematic shows a median installed that
would block access to qo southbound and the use of Ashton Avenue
extension to make movements north and south. He stated that if
this was to be completed, he would expect the County to
participate. He stated that, at this time, there are not any
detailed drawings, and he did not know the County's participation.
He stated that there is a riqht-of-way on East River Road and a
considerable amount of space available to make the improvements.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that the homes seem to be set quite
far back from East River Road; however, any development of Ashton
Avenue would take one hundred feet of that setback. He stated that
this is one of the objections to the extension of Ashton Avenue as
it would bring the service road very close to their homes.
Mr. Flora stated that this is what is unknown at this point
depending on how the improvement is planned.
Councilman Fitzpatrick felt that even if there was a different
pattern for the road and it is moved farther west, he doubted if
there would be support of any kind for a service road. He stated
FRIDLEY CITY COQNCIL 1[BBTING O! OCT088R 1. 1990 P�a$ 17
that the residents would also object to payinq for somethinq they
did not want.
Councilwoman Jorqenson felt that the Council had to look at the
safety of everyone traveling East River Road. She stated that the
County and State both encouraqed the City not to have so many
accesses onto East River.Road to keep the traffic flowinq and for
safety purposes.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that the residents do realize that
there is an easement; however, they would like to keep it the way
it is now.
MOTION by Councilman Billinqs to direct staff to use whatever power
and influence the City may have for the County to cease any
activities that would cause anyone to believe that Ashton Avenue
would become a driven roadway. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Councilwoman Jorgenson questioned if any actions should be taken
since this is an informal status report.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that it would be against the
Council's rules to consider an item that is not on the agenda for
action.
Mayor Nee stated that his understanding of the items under the
Informal Status Reports is for information, rather than action.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that staff could be instructed to
bring back a resolution to this effect.
Mayor Nee asked, as a matter of policy, if the Council wanted to
take action on items under the Informal Status Reports.
Councilwoman Jorgenson and Councilman Schneider stated that they
would vote against taking any action. Councilman Schneider felt
staff could be directed to bring an issue back for action.
Mayor Nee ruled the above motion was out of order.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to instruct staff to investigate
this item and bring back a resolution at a future Council meeting
which would serve the same purpose to put an end to considering the
extension of Ashton Avenue. Seconded by Councilman Schneider.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously.
ZONING - ADULT BUSINESSES:
Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated that several alternatives
have been discussed reqarding zoning for adult businesses. She
stated that one alternative is that they would not be allowed
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL KEBTINa OF OCTOH$R 1, 1990 PAQE 18
within 750 feet from a residential zoninq district, and the other
alternative is that they would not be allowed within 500 feet. She
stated that in either of these cases, they would also not be
allowed within 1,000 feet of a school, park, or church. She stated
that if the City considered the 750 foot alternative, 3 percent of
the City's total area could be used for this type of business and
with the 500 foot option, 4.35 percent of the City's total area
could be used. She stated that she understands from the City
Attorney that there have been previous court cases that an
acceptable percentage would be 5 percent of a city's land area.
Ms. Dacy reviewed some possible areas where these adult businesses
might locate based on the above criteria. She stated that it is
hoped a public hearing can be scheduled before the Planninq
Commission in December on a proposed zoning ordinance. She stated
that staff and the City Attorney�s office will work closely on how
the uses are defined. She stated that the option of requiring a
license will be evaluated to determine if the same procedure as
obtaining a liquor license should be included.
Councilman Schneider stated that he received a phone call from a
former Fridley resident who now lives in Spring Lake Park. She
asked that a copy of Fridley's proposed ordinance be sent to Spring
Lake Park.
Mr. Herrick stated that when the ordinance is in its final form,
he would be happy to send a copy to the Sprinq Lake Park resident.
Mr. Herrick stated that he met with the County Attorney and City
Attorney for the City of Ramsey to discuss the possibility of a
unified approach for the entire County in regulating these adult
businesses. iie stated that there was also some discussion about
the possibility of municipalities and the County entering into a
joint powers agreement where they may agree to share the cost of
prosecuting, if it became necessary. He stated that both ideas
were well received by the County Attorney and a meeting will be
called of the attorneys for the cities in the County.
Mr. Herrick stated that there was further discussion that the
County Attorney might have a specialist on his staff that would
handle the prosecutions. He stated that, at this time, it may be
a problem because he did not know if the staffing would be
available. He stated that there was also some very preliminary
discussion about the possibility of using the Grand Jury to
determine whether various businesses were conducting an operation
that was either pornographic or obscene. He stated that the County
Attorney would qive this consideration, but did not know if it
would be workable or not.
Mr. Herrick stated that, at this time, he would sugqest that the
City proceed on the zoning portion in an attempt to solve this
problem and wait until a meeting is held with the other city
u
� • �� 1�, 1, ; t • ����� • ' � • � s t :
attorneys before decidinq what action to take on the obscenity
ordinance that was drafted.
Councilman Billinqs asked if staff had taken into consideration
Sullivan Lake Park in Columbia Heiqhts in determininq possible
locations for these businesses.
Ms. Dacy stated that she did not realize there was a park in
Columbia Heights that was located close to the southeast portion
of Fridley.
Councilman Billinqs stated that he did not want the City to move
rapidly into an ordinance that would be difficult to defend in
court. He stated that he was also concerned about includinq the
area off of East River Road which is close to the County's park.
He felt someone could arque that if such a business is not allowed
within 1,000 of a City park, why would it be allowed any closer to
a County park.
Councilwoman Jorqenson asked if day care centers had been included
in staff's review so that these adult businesses would have to be
located a certain distance from a day care center.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff has not looked at the day care center
issue.
Mr. Herriak felt that the only way to obtain at least the 5 percent
ratio may be to further reduce the distances that the City would
require.
Councilman Schneider asked the time involved to refigure these
distances.
Ms. Dacy stated that it would probably take about four hours of
staff time to refigure these distances.
Councilman Schneider asked if there is any way to determine how
much staff and legal time the city is spending on this issue.
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that an accountinq code could
be assiqned so that any time spent on the issue is recorded under
this code.
Councilman Schneider felt it did not need to be that precise, but
would like to know roughly how much time is being spent on this
issue.
Mayor Nee felt that if the objective was to provide 5 percent of
the City's total area, it seems the distances will have to be
reduced.

Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that he met with
representatives of the Department of Natural Resources and members
of the Rice Creek Watershed District regarding the condition of the
Locke Lake dam. He stated that the DNR wants the City to drop the
water level of Locke Lake as soon as possible. He stated that as
a result of the meetinq, several actions were discussed which the
City will attempt to do in the near future. He stated that he
expects a letter from the DNR summarizinq the meeting and actions
for the dam.
Mr. Flora stated that the Rice Creek Watershed District Board of
Managers has accepted the proposal for the improvements at Locke
Lake and, hopefully, in January, the City will have a draft report
with possible funding mechanisms.

MEETING OF RESIDENTS ON TROLLHAGEN DRIVE RE: STOP SIGNS:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that a petition was received in
July for installation of two stop siqns on Trollhagen Drive. He
stated that Councilman Billinqs requested a neighborhood crime
watch meeting for the South Innsbruck area. He stated that at the
meeting that was held on September 19, 1990, the stop sign issue
was addressed. He stated that some residents wanted stops signs
and speed bumps, and some felt the sight line should be improved
at Trollhagen Drive and Matterhorn Drive.
Mr. Burns stated that at the end of the meeting, a vote was taken
on the issue of the stop signs and ten were in favor, fourteen were
against, and nine abstained. He stated that in view of the split
vote, staff would recommend that the stop signs not be installed
on Trollhagen Drive. He stated that the City would, as an
alternative, install caution signs on the curve and a speed limit
sign. He stated that the homeowner who resides at Trollhagen Drive
and Matterhorn Drive will cut back his bushes to provide a better
sight line. Mr. Burns stated that the Police Department promises
continued speed enforcement on Trollhagen Drive.

Councilman Schneider felt that a letter should be sent to the
neighborhood reqardinq the results of the neighborhood meeting.
Mr. Burns stated that he is not sure this requires a formal Council
action. He stated that if there are no objections by the Council,
the measures proposed by staff will suffice. He felt that,
however, there should be some kind of response to the petition
received for the installation of the stop siqns.
Mr. Hill, Public Safety Director, stated that after a neiqhborhood
crime watch meetinq, the Police Department will respond on what
occurred at the meeting. He stated that based on the meeting,
there would probably be a recommendation not to install the stop
siqns.
Mayor Nee felt that a letter could be prepared and brought to the
Council for consideration.
Councilman Billings stated that he believed when the Council
receives a petition, the Council should reach a decision on what
action should be taken.
Councilman Schneider stated that a letter should be written to the
petitioners.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that he did not think the
placement of stop signs should be wholly determined by popular
vote. He stated that there should be some consideration about
whether there is a safety problem. He felt that there should be
some report from the Police Department and Engineerinq Department
indicating they bave reviewed the issue and, in their professional
opinion, whether stop siqns should or should not be installed.
Mr. Burns stated that the survey data of the Police Department was
reviewed in regard to traffic counts and accident history. He
stated that this data did not meet the Department of
Transportation's quidelines far the placement of stop siqns.
Mr. Herrick felt that the communication sent to the neighborhood
should also mention this data.
Mr. Burns stated that he did not mean to imply that this
information was not taken into consideration.
Mayor Nee asked that a letter be submitted for approval by the
Council in response to this petition.

motion regarding Ashton Avenue. He requested that staff place an
item on the agenda for November 5, 1990 to discuss the rules of
the Council and agenda for all types of ineetings including

he has ever been involved in an organization where he cannot make
a motion to do something, if it is not on the agenda. He stated
that maybe the Council needs to revise the rules.
Mayor Nee stated he has been applying the Roberts' Rules of Order
as it relates to small groups.
Councilman Billings stated that it may be that "Other Business"
needs to be placed on the aqenda.
Councilman Schneider felt that it would not be appropriate, for
instance, to have an expenditure item under "Other Business".

Request
The proposed Registered Land Survey subdivides a
into two tracts which are currently described by
descriptions. They are not proposed as building
owned by the petitioner and Tract B is owned by
Background
80' x 665' parcel
metes and bounds
lots. Tract A is
the City.
To the north of the subject property is 1161 Regis Lane N.E. In
1989, a plat request was reviewed to subdivide this property into
two lots (Sullivan's Overlook). When the final plat was reviewed
by the Anoka County Recorder's Office, it was determined that the
plat could not be recorded due to a variety of reasons; one of
which included the complicated metes and bounds legal descriptions
affecting the title of this property. State law enables the County
Recorder's Office to require a registered land survey in order to
clarify descriptions and simplify the recording process. Anoka
County, in this case, asked that a registered land survey be
completed in order to clarify descriptions affecting the Sullivan
Overlook plat and adjacent property. In fact, Tract A of the
proposed RLS is part of the Sullivan Overlook plat. Tract B of the
proposed RLS is now occupied by the Regis Lane roadbed and vacant
property.
The Sullivan Overlook plat was considered by the Planning
Commission on May 17, 1989. The Planning Commission recommended
approval with two stipulations:
1. There shall be no grading below the 952 foot contour on the
northeast corner of Lot 2.
2. The access to Lot 2 shall be toward the westerly side of the
lot and shall be hardsurfaced.
The City Council conducted a public hearing on June 19, 1989, but
did not approve or deny the plat.
Analysis
The City acquired the subject property from Maxwell Sullivan in
early 1960's in order to construct Regis Lane. The City conveyed
the property proposed as Tract A to the petitioner, Dan Sullivan,
by quit claim deed in 1979. The title of the Sullivan Overlook
plat is both abstract and torrens property. The legal descriptions
which appear on the torrens side do not coincide with descriptions
which appear in the abstract side. In order to record the plat,
all legal descriptions must match. This has created title problems
which the petitioner is trying to rectify.
2C
Staff Report
P.S. #90-05, Sullivan
Page 3
The proposed RLS merely eliminates the existing metes and bounds
descriptions and will enable the Sullivan Overlook plat to be
recorded. The RLS will be recorded first, then the Sullivan
Overlook plat will be recorded.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval
of P.S. #90-05 to create a registered land survey on a portion of
Lot 9, Auditor's Subdivision No. 25.
Planninq Commission Action
The Planning Commission unanimously recommended approval of the
proposed registered land survey.
Citv Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the recommendation of
fihe Planning Commission and approve the registered land survey as
proposed.

THE MOTION CARRIED 11ND THE BIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:32 P.l+i.
Ms. Dacy stated this property is located north of I-694 and is in
the general vicinity of Regis Lane. The property contains a part
of the Regis Lane road bed and abuts the property owned by the
petitioner, Dan Sullivan.
Ms. Dacy stated that in 1989, the plat request was considered by
the Planning Commission to subdivide the Sullivan property into
two lots. The first lot contained Mr. Sullivan's house, and the
second lot was proposed as a building site. In attempting to
record the plat at the County, the Anoka County Recorder's Office
identified several legal description problems that affected the
title of the property. The Recorder's Office has the ability to
require a registered land survey in order to simplify a long metes
and bounds description into a simpler description. With this
proposed request, the registered land survey of 80 feet wide and
665.36 feet lonq, will be divided into two tracts, Tract A and
Tract B. Tract A will become part of the Sullivan Overlook Plat.
The registered land survey will be recorded first at the County,
and then the proposed plat approved by the City last year will be
recorded over it, so this triangular piece of property can be
legally and properly recorded into the plat.
Ms. Dacy stated the City acquired Tract B in the early 1960's from
the Sullivan family. In 1979, the City conveyed this triangular
piece of property back to Mr. Dan Sullivan by quit claim deed. The
title of the Sullivan Overlook plat is both abstract and torrens
property. The leqal descriptions which appear on the torrens side
do not coincide with descriptions which appear on the abstract
side. In order to record the plat, all leqal descriptions must
match.
Ms. Dacy stated staff is recommending approval of P.S. �90-05, to
create a registered land survey on a portion of Lot 9, Auditor s
Subdivision No. 25, with no stipulations.
Ms. Nancy Sullivan stated she is representinq her husband, Dan
Sullivan, who could not be at the meeting.

Request
The Dayton Hudson Corporation is proposing to plat a portion of the
M.T. Properties railroad right-of-way. The parcel is less than 2.5
acres and is described by a metes and bounds description. The
parcel will be combined for tax purposes with the Target Northern
Distribution Center plat and will be used to provide a parking area
for trailers and trucks.
Si e
The parcel to be platted is generally located at the intersection
of 71st Avenue and Highway 65. It is located between the PennzOil
property and the Target Warehouse and lies north of the M.T.
Preperties railroad tracks. There are high voltage power lines
running along the south property line of the parcel, and the parcel
is currently vacant. The parcel does not have a zoning designation
at this time, but property to the north and south is zoned M-2,
Heavy Industrial.
Analysis
As required by the subdivision ordinance, a parcel of less than 2.5
acres and described by a metes and bounds description is required
to be platted by the property owner. The parcel is approximately
1.22 acres in area, and will be used by Target to provide parking
for trailers and trucks in addition to providing access to several
loading docks along the south portion of the warehouse building.
The property is currently right-of-way for the M.T. Properties
railroad, and therefore, currently does not have a zoning
designation. The petitioner will have to process a rezoning
application to rezone the parcel to M-2, Heavy Industrial.
The parcel does not meet the minimum lot area of 1.5 acres, nor
does it meet the minimum lot width requirement set forth in the M-
2 district regulations. The parcel must be legally combined with
the adjacent platted parcels in order to avoid creating a separate
parcel of record.
The landscape plan for the Target warehouse expansion indicated
that 70 lilacs and 30 Amur maples were to be planted along the
south property line. These plant materials should be moved to the
new property line. In addition, staff is recommending that Boston
Ivy be planted along the fence to provide increased screening and
buffering. The parking area will need to conform to the zoning
code requirements.

Ms. McPherson stated this property is a small area just to the
south of the Target Warehouse facility and the Tarqet Northern
Distribution Plat, lst Addition. The parcel is currently riqht-
of-way for M.T. Properties Railroad and lies between the Target
Warehouse and Pennzoil to the south.
Ms. McPherson stated there are some hiqh voltage power lines that
run within this right-of-way, and the parcel does not currently
have a zoning desiqnation. The petitioner will need to file a
rezoning application in order to change the zoninq from non-
designated to M-2, Heavy Industrial.
Ms. McPherson stated the area to be platted is less than 2 1/2
acres and is described by a metes and bounds description. Target
intends to use this property to park trailers and trucks. This
parcel would not meet the minimum lot area requirements set forth
in the M-2 zoning district regulations; however, it is not intended
to be used as a single parcel, but will be combined legally for tax
purposes and functionally with the Target Warehouse expansion.
Ms. McPherson stated the oriqinal warehouse expansion landscape
plans called for 70 lilacs and 30 Amur maple trees to be planted
along the south property line. Tarqet will be required to move
these plant materials south along the new property line. In
addition, staff is recommending Boston ivy be planted along the
fence line to provide screening and buffering. Althouqh there is
no park property directly south of this area, staff believes
additional screening should be required.
Ms. McPherson stated the parking area will need to be constructed
to conform to the M-2 zoning district requirements.
Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends the Planning Commission
recommend approval of the preliminary plat, P.S. #90-04, with the
followinq stipulations:
1. A landscape glan Which provides for screening and
bufferinq of the adjacent park property and from Highway
65 shall be submitted for staff approval prior to

ZOA #90-05, A1 Schrader
Page 2
Rectuest
The petitioner, A1 Schrader, is requesting that Lots 7, 8, and 9,
Block 1, Central View Manor be rezoned from M-1, Light Industrial,
to C-3, General Shopping: The petitioner has also applied for a
special use permit to allow automotive uses and exterior storage
on these and adjacent lots.
Site
The three lots are located north of 73 1/2 Avenue and west of and
adjacent to Central Auto Parts. The lots are currently vacant, and
vegetated with "scrub" materials. The parcels to the east and
south are zoned M-1, Light Industrial. Parcels to the west and
north are currently zoned C-3, General Shopping.
Analysis
The lots were zoned M-1, Light Industrial in 1979 at the request
of two petitioners who were interested in constructing a
contracting business. The City approved the rezoning, but the
business was never constructed. The present petitioner intends to
add these lots to the adjacent lots to the north and west.
Rezoning the lots would be consistent with the adjacent land use
to the west and south; the Rapid Oil site is zoned commercial, as
is the City Sports parcel. The Super America parcel, while not
zoned commercial, is more of a commercial than an industrial use.
The Central Avenue Corridor study in 1989 recommended that the
parcels along Highway 65 which are currently zoned M-1, Light
Industrial, be rezoned to one of the three commercial zoning
designations. This recommendation was based on the current land
uses on these parcels, the lot sizes, and the location of these
parcels along Highway 65.
Recommendation and Stipulations
As the rezoning request is consistent with adjacent zoning and land
uses, as well as the recommendations of the Central Avenue Corridor
study, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend
approval of the rezoning request, ZOA #90-05, with the following
stipulations:
1. The parcels shall be combined for tax purposes.
2. The special use permit request, SP #90-15, shall be approved.

Rezoning ReQUest ZOA �k90-95
Ms. McPherson stated the parcels are directly adjacent to 73 1/2
Avenue and the Central Auto Parts facility on 73 1/2 Avenue. The
property is vacant at the present time. There is some "scrub"
vegetation and some asphalt paving from prior uses on the property.
Ms. McPherson stated these lots are currently zoned M-1, Light
Industrial. The parcels to the east and south are zoned M-1, Liqht
Zndustrial, while parcels to the north and west are zoned C-3,
General Shopping. Lots 7, 8, and 9 were zoned M-1 in 1979 at the
request of two petitioners interested in constructinq a contractinq
business. The rezoninq was approved; however, the business was
never constructed.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner intends to combine the three
lots with the adjacent parcels to the north and west in order to
construct three buildinqs, two for an auto mall facility, and one
for a restaurant facility. Rezoning these lots would be consistent
with the adj acent zoning and adj acent land uses to the west and
south. The Rapid Oil at the intersection of 73rd Avenue/Highway
65 is zoned commercial, as is City Sports just two blocks south of
the Rapid Oil site. In addition, SuperAmerica, while not zoned
commercial, is more a commercial/retail than industrial use.
Ms. McPherson stated that the Central Avenue Corridor study done
in 1989 recommended that the parcels along Highway 65, which are
currently zoned M-1, be rezoned to one of the three commercial
zoning designations.
Ms. McPherson stated that since the rezoning request is consistent
with the adjacent zoning and land uses, as well as the
recommendations of the Central Avenue Corridor study, staff
recommends the Planning Commission recommend approval of rezoninq
request, ZOA #90-05, with the followinq stipulations:
1. The parcels shall be combined for tax purposes.
2. The special use permit, SP #90-15, shall be approved.
Special Use Permit Reauest
Ms. McPherson stated the special use permit request is for the same
three lots, Lots 7, 8, and 9, and the garcels directly to the north
and west of the site. The special use permit is to allow
automotive uses on this site. Those uses include car washes, auto
repair, auto body repair, and exterior storage. The City Attorney
has determined that a car rental facility would require a separate
and second special use permit in order to determine the impact of
the parking and siqnaqe of the rental facility on this particular
site.
pLANNING COIrII�I88ZO1Q MESTINa. 8$PTEMBER 12. 1990 p�QE 8
Ms. McPherson stated this property is vacant and is zoned C-3 and
M-1. Located directly to the north is a mobile home park. This
parcel is zoned R-4, Mobile Home Park, and is residential in
character. In addition, Tam's Rice Bowl, is located to the north
of this site and is zoned C-3, General Shopping.
Ms. McPherson stated the City currently owns a portion of the
property in question, Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1, Central View
Manor, the three western-most lots adjacent to 73 1/2 Avenue.
These were acquired by the City as tax forfeit property. Lot 1 is
currently being used as riqht-of-way for the service road. The
petitioner has asked the City to sell Lots 2 and 3 to him in order
to create a large enough parcel for this development.
Ms. McPherson stated this property has had a number of special use
permits for a variety of different uses. In 1974-75, a special use
permit was issued to allow the sale of used cars. In 1975, a
special use penait was issued to allow the same of trailer homes.
Ms. McPherson stated that one of the larger issues concerning the
site is that the proposed auto mall and restaurant will increase
traffic in the area. Currently, there is access to Hiqhway 65 both
at 73rd Avenue and 73 1/2 Avenue. In 1987, Rapid Oil requested
that the City vacate 73 1/2 Avenue. This would allow Rapid Oil to
have a larger parcel. The City Council tabled the request
indefinitely.
Ms. McPherson stated l�t/DOT has indicated that in 1992 when they
upgrade the �3rd Avenue intersection, they will be closing the
median crossing at 73 1/2 Avenue. This would be appropriate as it
would still allow a riqht-in, right-out access at the 73 1/2 Avenue
entrance to this particular neighborhood and would eliminate a
dangerous crossover.
Ms. :�S�Pherson stated the 73 1/2 Avenue right-of-way should not be
vacated until such a time at which the Viron Road service road can
be extended past the trailer court. Closing the 73 1/2 Avenue
access would cause traffic to back up in both east and west
directions at 73 Avenue. Over a period of years, the City has
tried to acquire right-of-way to construct the Viron Road e�ctension
and has been unsuccessful. The City has asked the petitioner to
work with the owners of the mobile home court in order to acquire
the additional riqht-of-way needed, and the petitioner has also
been unsuccessful.
Ms. McPherson stated the traffic generated by the proposed project
will increase the general traffic in the area. The petitioner has
completed a traffic study of the area. The study indicated that
the ADT (average daily trips) generated by the project would be
2,349. One-half of those trips are considered into the site and
1/2 are considered out of the site. The qreatest impact will be
4F

pLANNIN(; C01�II+IISSION lSBSTING. SEPTEMB$R 12 . 1990 PAGB _9
felt during the evening peak hour times between 4:15 - 5:15 p.m.
The study determined that 201 trips wculd be into the site in the
eveninq and 207 trips would be out of the site in the evening. The
study also indicated that 73 1/2 Avenue access should remain open
as it helps reduce congestion at the 73rd Avenue intersection. It
was noted by the traffic consultant that a shoppinq center is a
permitted use in the C-3�district and that a shoppinq center would
generate about the same traffic durinq the peak hours and more
traffic during off-peak hours.
Ms. McPherson stated the current riqht-of-way for the frontaqe road
is 40 feet; and a 10 foot street easement should be qranted to the
City in order to obtain the proper right-of-way for the Viron Road
project.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has submitted a site plan which
meets all the code requirements in reqard to parkinq and setbacks.
The landscape plan will require some minor adjustments. The
petitioner is required to submit an irrigation plan and will be
required to fulfill the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed
District regarding grading and drainage on and from the site.
Ms. McPherson stated that wifih automotive uses, staff must ensure
a minimum impact to the residential neiqhborhood from odor
emissions and hazardous waste. The proposed tenants will need to
follow the guidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency
regarding odor emissions from painting and auto body repair
facilities.
Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends the Planninq Commission
recommend approval of the special use permit, SP #90-15, with the
following stipulations:
1. The rezoning request, ZOA �90-15, shall be approved.
2. The petitioner shall submit grading and drainage plans

Mr. Mike Schrader stated he is representing the petitioner, A1
Schrader. He stated also with him is Paul Noyes, Construction
Consultant.
Mr. Schrader stated that, as stated by staff, this property was
previously a used car lot, then purchased by the petitioner and
was used as a retail mobile home site for a number of years. The
property has now been vacant for 2-3 years. During that period of
time, a number of reviews of the land vere done to determine the
highest and best use for the land. They also did some demoqraphic
studies. They came to the conclusion that they wanted a mixed
41
LANNINa COMMI88ION 1rIE$TINa. BBPTEM88R 12. 1990 PAQE il
retail site and an auto mall was suggested. They reviewed a number
of auto malls in town and decided they wanted to combine some old
ideas with new ideas. The new idea being the restaurant and the
confiquration of the buildinq materials.
Mr. Schrader stated this property is in a redevelopment area for
tax increment financinq. He appeared before the HRA in an effort
to obtain tax increment financing; however, upon meetinq with City
Council members, the Council felt it was in the petitioner's best
interest to not seek tax increment financinq. They have not done
so.
Mr. Schrader stated the site would have 26, 300 sq. ft. of auto mall
and 4,000 sq. ft. free-standinq restaurant. There would be three
buildings. Tenants they have under letter of credit for the auto
mall make up 15,700 sq. ft., approximately 60$ of the mall. They
have Good Year, Mr. Clutch, an auto parts store, an auto qlass
repair, and an auto rental facility. Country Hospitality, a
franchise of the Country Kitchen qroup, will have a full service
restaurant.
Mr. Schrader stated they have no objections to the stipulations
recommended by staff.
Mr. Kondrick asked about the availability of parking if an auto
leasinq facility is allowed as a tenant.
Mr. Schrader stated that if a tenant was leasinq autos out of the
site, there would not be enough parking. If an auto leasing
facility is put into the mall, it would be an office only. The
automobiles for lease would be kept off site. The restaurant and
the other uses in the mall meet the parkinq requirements.
Ms. Dacy stated the standards staff advised the petitioner to use
was the 1- 150 sq. ft. which is very conservative and, if an auto
mall was to not operate any more and a retail use went in, there
would be adequate parking space. Staff also consulted an Urban
Land Institute document regarding parking requirements for auto
malls. Given that auto malls are a recent production of the
automotive markets, a lot of zoning ordinances do not specify
ratios. She believed the auto mall will generate a little lower
parkinq demand than retail because the peak hours are morning and
afternoon and there are not as many daily trips.
Mr. Saba asked about the possibility of a body repair shop or an
auto painting facility.
Mr. Schrader stated there is a good possibility that they will have
an automotive collision repair or paintinq center in the mall.
They have discussed the issues regarding keepinq the odors to level
of the code and protectinq the neiqhboring residents, and they will
4J
pI.AIdpI1dG COl�II�iI88ION I�IL'ETINa. BEPTE�F=°• 12. 1940 Pl1GE _1�
put these facilities in the easterly buildinq. The buildings will
be built to the specifications for these types of facilities.
Mr. Saba asked about the exterior storaqe of damaqed vehicles.
Mr. Schrader stated they do not intend to store any collision
vehicles. On occasion, it might happen, but they do not believe
there will be a•siqnificant amount of overnight storaqe of damaged
vehicles. They have discussed makinq sure they have enouqh square
footage of storaqe inside as well as outside for partially damaged
and collision vehicles. They do not want to be an eyesore.
Mr. Paul Noyes stated they will not be dealing with badly damaged
cars. Any damaqed cars will be parked along the east side of the
property, and those cars would not be seen by anyone drivinq by.
Mr. Mitch DeMars, 1130 Fireside Drive, an owner of the Park Plaza
Mobile Home Court, asked about the dirt beinq hauled onto the site.
Ss there any chance of contamination in the soil?
Mr. Schrader stated they received a permit to bring the soil into
the site. He has a contract with the excavator who brought in the
soil that there are no contaminants in the soil.
Mr. DeMars asked about noise emission from the repair of cars.
Mr. Noyes stated most collision centers close at 4:30 p.m.:
however, they cannot limit the business to close at that hour.
Every business will be closed, other than the restaurant, at 9:00
p.m.
Mr. DeMars stated that noise emission and smells are the biggest
concerns of the residents of Park Plaza Mobile Home Court.
Mr. Schrader stated the mall has been designed so thad ors facinq
in ci�ors are all inside the square of the mall. Any
north are drive-through doors. Hcpefully, these doors will only
be used as an exit function. They cannot govern the hours of
operation beyond the limitation of the special use permit which is
9:00 p.m.; however, in their review of other auto malls, most malls
operate during regular business hours.
Mr. Schrader stated they have tried to keep any uses that will emit
odors on the east side of the property away from the residents of
the mobile home court and the restaurant.
Mr. Noyes stated that with the new code requirements which filter
out odors, he did not believe odor would be a problem.
Mr. Betzold stated there is a stipulation restrictinq the closinq
hour of a repair business to 9:00 p.m. Do they want to restrict
the startinq time?
4K
pLANNING CO I88ZON MEBTINa. 68PT8MHBR 12. 1990 PAG� �
Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission could certainly do that.
Mr. Betzold sugqested no repair of automobiles before the hour of
7:00 a.m.
Mr. Schrader stated he thouqht 6:30-7:00 a.m. would be reasonable.
Mr. Betzold suggested another stipulation that the special use
permit be reviewed in one year.
Mr. Betzold also reassured the owners of the Park Plaza Mobile Home
Court that he did not see the City doinq anything to extend Viron
Road at this time because of the City Council's policy to not
displace existinq families or condemn property.
Mr. Paul Bodick, 748 Onondaqa Street, stated he has lived at this
address for 14 years. He stated he has a beautiful back yard. He
is very concerned about the noise. A repair business is allowed
to be open until 9:00 p.m. He did not want to be out in his back
yard in the evening and hear pounding noise. And, it will be
difficult for people to sleep in the morninq and on weekends.
There will be additional traffic and noise.
Mr. Noyes stated the only business on the north side near the
residents will be an auto qlass repair business. The collision
shop will be on the east side by the junkyard. Again, he did not
think noise will be a problem.
Mr. Bodick stated any time they have their windows open, they will
hear noise. They can hear people talking and smell gas from the
SuperAmerica Station on 73rd/University Avenue.
Mr. Schrader stated this property is zoned C-3, General Shopping,
and any business put on that property within that zoning is going
to generate a certain amount of noise and odors. The property has
either been vacant or been a retail mobile home site or a used car
site for a number of years, and it has been a quiet area. However,
the auto mall is within the uses allowed in the C-3 zoning. He
stated they are sensitive to the neighbors concerns and that is why
they designed the mall the way they did. He stated he would be
willing to have a one year review.
Mr. Bodick stated that if this special use permit is approved and
the auto mall is built, if there is a lot of noise, the neighbors
in this area will certainly complain to the City.
Ms. Delores DeMars, an owner of the Park Plaza Mobile Home Court,
stated it was her understandinq that the restaurant would be open
24 hours, and there would be a bar. She had concerns about the
late hours and the servinq of liquor.
QL
pl��►�"dltda C01'�ISBZOI�i 1+IBE INQ, 68PTEMBER 1 0
Mr. Schrader stated the restaurant will be Country Hospitality, a
family restaurant. In the planninq staqe, a pub was reviewed and
decided aqainst, so there will not be any "bar". However, the
restaurant would like to be able to serve beer and wine with the
meals. At this time, he did not believe the restaurant would be
open 24 hours. It will probably close at the standard closing time
of 1:00 a.m.
Ms. DeMars stated there are several retirees in the mobile home
• court who have lived there 8- 25 years. These people are used to
privacy and somewhat quiet so this will be a qreat chanqe for them.
Will there be trees and any kind of noise barrier?
Mr. Schrader stated the elevations are different and the mobile
home court is a little hiqher than the auto mall site so that will
be a natural barrier. There is also the existing fence. He stated
the petitioner is mindful of mobile home park residents as he the
owner of several mobile home parks and houses, and he wants to do
what he can to promote mobile home livinq in the City of Fridley.
Ms. Evelyn Bodick, 1138 Onondaga, stated that garages that repair
cars put hoses through the garage doors to vent the exhaust fumes.
Will they have to put up with exhaust fumes?
Mr. Schrader stated that the latest and hiqhest level of technology
will be incorporated into this auto mall. He believed all the
emissions will be through the roof.
Ms. Bodick stated the emissions will still be coming into the air.
Their bedroom is right next to this property, and they qet the
gasoline fumes from SuperP,merica. They can even hear people
talking at SuperAmerica in the middle of the night. This is really
a disturbance.
Mr. Noyes stated that regarding gasoline emissions, they will not
have that with collision repair. Even if one car is started every
one-half hour, it is still minimal compared to 80,000 cars a day
traveling on Hiqhway 65. And, there will be no repair at niqht
after 9:00 p.m.
Ms. Joyce Trebisovsky, stated she is one of the owners of the Park
Plaza Mobile Home Court. She stated that Mr. Schrader had said
that one of the tenants will be Good Year. She stated that she
does business with Good Year. Good Year is open until 9:00 p.m.,
and they keep their doors open all the time. She is totally
concerned about the clean air. There is a lot of traffic in the
area already. The cars are totally backed up, especially at 4:00-
4:30 p.m.
Ms. Trebisovsky stated she did not understand how the City can
allow acetone which is used to spray paint cars. She is friqhtened
because she knows what damage chemicals can do. She stated there
4M
PLANNINa CO1rIIdI88ION MEETINa. BBPTEMBSR 12. 1990 P�GE 15
is the junk yard on the east and that is where all the emissions
are supposed to qo. If the emissions are released out of the roof,
they still qo into the air and over the trailer court roofs. She
stated she knows the City needs the tax money, but not at the
expense of our lunqs.
Ms. Trebisovsky stated the Commission has suqgested reviewinq the
special use permit in one year which sounds like they are goinq to
approve it. She could understand proqress, but she did not think
this development is reasonable in this area next to residential.

THE MOTION CARRI$D AND TH8 PUHLIC HEARINGB CLOSED AT 9s05 P.M.
Ms. Sherek stated she is really concerned about a collision
center/auto body repair shop in the auto mall. They just got an
illegal auto body repair shop removed from 73rd Avenue, and the
emissions were horrendous. She realized that most of this property
is zoned C-3, but there is residential property right next to it,
and she thought a collision center is an awful idea.
Ms. Dacy stated that one of the four special use permits the
petitioner is requestinq is for repair garages. It is within the
Commission's purview to specify what uses are permitted and what
are not permitted.
Mr. Betzold asked Mr. Schrader what he thought of a possible
stipulation to not permit auto repair shops as a special use.
Mr. Schrader stated th3t when the City limits its sphere of
potential tenants, it limits their ability to overall lease the
mall. They have met with several reputable collision centers in
the metropolitan area, and they do not think it would be
appropriate for the CIty to limit their ability to lease this
potential site. They do not have a signed lease with a collision
center at this time; however, collision centers are larger and
would take up a considerable amount of square footaqe. By not
allowing them to lease a collision center, the City would be
hamperinq their ability to make a financially viable mall. It is
a limitation they would have a hard time living with.
Mr. Kondrick asked what is necessary for someone who will be
paintinq cars and emittinq odors.
Ms. Dacy stated the tenant will come in for a buildinq permit and
as part of the building permit process, the tenant will be required
to install a certain ventinq system (paint booth) which is reviewed
by the Fire Inspector. The paint booth will diminish the odor, but
there will be some odor that will be emitted. It would be
4N
pLANNING COMMISSION IdEETINa. BEPTEMHER 12. 1990 P�GE 16
difficult for either a staff inember or the petitioner to state that
100� of the odors will be controlled from the site. That was the
basis for staff's recommendation to locate these types of
businesses as far away from the residential property as possible.
The restaurant which is a permitted use also has odors. The
restaurant will have vents and fans, but there will be some odor
from it also.
OM TION by Ms. Sherek, seconded by Mr. Saba, to recommend to City

THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
Mr. Saba stated he is a little concerned about a review of the
special use permit in one year as the petitioner may or may not
have the mall fully leased. He would recommend an annual review
until the mall is fully leased up to five years. This would also
give the neighbors adequate time to communicate any concerns or
violations of the special use permit to the City.
Mr. Saba stated he also shared Ms. Sherek's concern about an auto
body repair shop.
Ms. Sherek stated that if an auto body repair shop becomes a
nuisance in terms of odors, etc., would the City have the power to
revoke the whole special use permit, or would it be possible to
require a special use permit for an auto body repair shop?
Ms. Dacy stated the second option is fine. The City by Code has
adopted the MPCA standards on odor emissions so if any of those
standards are not beinq met by any tenant, the City has the power
to base a revocation of the special use permit for that particular
tenant.
Ms. Dacy stated when staff looked at this particular application,
typically one individual tenant would be cominq in at one time to
qet a special use permit; but since this is an auto mall where
there would be more than one application, they had taken the
approach of a blanket permit. Given the concerns about odor and
collision repair, she thouqht it would be appropriate to have these
types of businesses apply for a separate special use permit.

Exerpt from Central Avenue Land Use Study
4Q
- 3 -
8tudy M•tDods
Staff collected Zoning history data, reviewed the building permit
files for tbe nge of strvctures, reviewed traffic counts along old
Central and intersecting streets, reviewed general drainage and
utility patterns, and identified any unique areas of natural
resources. For each phase,. staff developed a residential scenario
and a commercial/industrial scenario. In some instances, the
recommendation proposed a mixed use approach where one use is Old
identified on one side of the street, and another use on the other
side of the street. We also met with other department heads for
their input and comments.
planninq Commission Recommendation
A summary of the Planning Commission recommendations for each phase
is provided below.
Phase 1- Rice Creek Road to Rice Creek
1. The east side of Central Avenue between Rice Creek Road and
Mississippi Street should be developed in residential land
uses, preferably owner occupied single family homes or
twinhomes. The west side of Central Avenue in this segment
should be developed into commercial land uses. The east side
is now zoned C-1, Neighborhood C�mmercial and would have to
be rezoned to R-1, Single Family Dwelling. Staff prepared a
scenario of a potential street and subdivision pattern on the
east side (we will present an aerial photo of this proposal
at the meeting). On the west side, the new Advance Company's
development and the Moore Lake Commons Shopping Center
provides a strong commercial identity. The Commission
recommended that the two remaining vacant parcels on the west
side remain zoned as commercial.
2. North of Mississippi Street to Rice Creek, a residential
pattern should be maintained. The Bacon Electric and the
automotive business in the northeast corner of the
intersection should be relocated; however, the existing
Country Boy grocery and the office building across the street
can remain to provide a node of neighborhood services.
Phase 2- North of Rice�Creek to Osborne Road �%��
l. The Commission recommended removal of the junkyards along 72nd
and 73rd Avenues including Determan Welding. The area should
then be re-marketed as an industrial business center.
Alternative street plans should also be considered including
vacating 73 1/2 Avenue and constructing an east/west road
south of Fireside in between the mobile home park and the
4R
-4-
industrial area. This would eliminate double frontage lots
and encourage storage nreas to be located at the rear of
properties .
2. The mobile home park should be maintained in its current �
location and its appearance should be improved. The
Commission suqgested another alternative of relocating the
mobile homes along Nighway 65 to the east and relocate Tam's
restaurant along Highway 65 or along Highway 65 just north of
73 1/2 Avenue. The Planning Commission also suggested moving
the existing park north of Fireside Drive and north of Service
Master.
3. The properties along Highway 65 from the SuperAmerica site �
south to Rice Creek Road should be rezoned from M-1 to C-2.
A majority of these prcperties are occupied by commercial
oriented uses (SuperAmerica, offices, tanning salon, mobile
home sales). The Kurt Manufacturing.rezoning represents the
first step toward this end. Commercial redevelopment may be
more appropriate given the lot sizes and location of these
properties along Highway 65.
4. A small multi-tenant commercial strip center located at the
southeast corner of Osborne Road and Old Central is
substandard in appearance and should be removed and reused as
single family home sites. Although the property is a double
frontage lot, the access to the sites can be gained from the
interior street (Meadowmoor Drivej.
5. At the southwest corner of Osborne and Old Central, there is
a large vacant area now 2oned M-1, Liqht Industrial. The
Planning Commission determined that a mixture of R-3 or R-4
zoning should be pursued to promote a young senior project,
mobile homes, or other multiple family development. The
Planning Commission wanted the City to consider additional
mobile homes as it does provide low and moderate income
housing and an alternative housing choice.
The Police Chief expressed concerns regarding expanding R-4
zoning for new mobile home sites. The Police Chief reported
a number cf incidents of speeding violations in the existing
mobile home parks as well as criminal activity.
The Planning Commission also recognized that commercial uses
say occur at the southwest corner of the intersection given
the recent activity at Highway 65 and Osborne Road.
l�dditional commercial uses would provide shopping services
vhich the residential area in the northeast corner of the City
may patronize versus shopping in Spring Lake Park or
Moundsview.
4S
- 5 -
6. The property couth of the American Legion at the southeast
corner of Onondaqa and Old Central should be combined with
the American Legion property for expanded parkinq. The
Planninq Commission did not have a strong opinion as to
whether or not the multi-tenant commercial building at the
intersection of Osborne Road and Old Central Avenue should
remain or De removed.
Bummary - Centra2 J►venue Corridor
The haphazard mixture of Zoning and land uses alonq Central Avenue
has tended to create an identity crisis for this area of the
community. The Planning Commission's intent to reserve the east
side of Old Central as residential and the west side as commercial
or industrial is intended to use Central Avenue as a signal or
separation between the two different land use characters.
The southern portion of the study area has more of the
"neighborhood ambience" than the north segment. However, a
boulevard improvement approach will act as a unifying element which
wi22 connect the different neighborhoods in the area. Znstalling
a bikeway/walkway along the corridor from Osborne to Moore Lake
Commons and south, as well as installing appropriate lighting
fixtures and other landscape treatments can provide a unique
character for this area of the community. The residential areas
in this part of the community may identify more with surrounding
communities rather than Fridley. These neighborhoods should be
"connected" to Fridley as much as possible, while having a
compatible existence next to non-residential uses.
Zmplementation Plan
These recommendations have been described as "aggressive" and
"ambitious". A number of factors influence implementation of these
recommendations. '
Two tax increment districts exist within the corridor. The
recently created Onan tax increment district was primarily based
on the expansion plans of the existing Onan facility. Therefore,
the increment generated from the Onan expansion would defray the
public improvements necessary to enable the project to be
completed. It is anticipated that Onan will be constructing their
expanded facilities i� 1990. There will be other increment
available from other properties in the district. These monies may
be used for other projects which the HRA has already prioritized.
l�nother factor affecting the implementation of these
recommendations is that the HRA has maintained a policy of securing
a viable project prior to acquiring property. Acquisition of the
junkyards will therefore be dependent on attracting a developer to
redevelop these sites.

Rectuest
The petitioner is requesting a special use permit for exterior
storage and automotive uses. The automotive uses would include car
washes, auto repair, auto body repair, etc. The City Attorney has
determined that car rental facilities will require a separate
special use permit in order to determine the parking availability
on the site and signage specific to the rental facility. The
request is for Lots 1- 9, Block 1, Central View Manor, and Lot 3,
Central View Manor 2nd Addition, the same being 7355 Highway 65
N.E.
Site
The site is generally located at the intersection of 73 I/Z Avenue
and Highway 65. The site is vacant, and is zoned both C-3, General
Shopping and M-1, Light Industrial. The petitioner is currently
processing a rezoning application to rezone those lots that are
zoned M-1, Light Industrial to C-3, General Shopping. Located to
the north of the site is a mobile home court which is zoned R-4,
Mobile Home Park. Parcels to the east and south are zoned M-1,
Liqht Industrial.
The City currently owns Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1, Central View
Manor. Lot 1 is right-of-way for Viron Road, and if the
development is approved, the development is the City will be
selling Lots 2 and 3 to the petitioner.
Analysis
Land Use History
The parcel has had a history of special use permits for a variety
of different uses. In 1974-1975, a special use permit was issued
to allow the sale of used cars on the parcel. In 1975, a special
use permit was granted to allow the sale of trailer homes from the
site. The site is not currently being used for either of these two
uses.
Traffic
The proposed auto mall and restaurant use will increase the traffic
in the area. Currently, there is access to Highway 65 at the
intersection of 73rd Avenue, and also at 73 1/2 Avenue. In 1987,
Rapid Oil, which is located at the intersection of 73rd Avenue and
Highway 65, applied to vacate the 73 1/2 Avenue right-of-way to
provide additional land to increase the lot area for the Rapid Oil
facility. The vacation request was tabled indefinitely by the City
Council (please see attached information regarding Rapid Oil).
y2D
Staff Report
SP #90-15, A1 Schrader
Page 3
The Minnesota Department of Transportation has indicated that in
1992 in conjunction with the signal upgrade at 73rd Avenue, they
will close the median crossing at 73 1/2 Avenue. This would be
appropriate as it will increase safety in this area by eliminating
one of the full movement intersections. Once the median crossing
is closed, a right-in, right-out movement from northbound Highway
65 at 73 1/2 Avenue will still exist. The 73 1/2 Avenue right-of-
way should not be vacated until such a time that the Viron Road
extension is completed to the north. It has been the City's intent
to extend Viron Road past the trailer park. The City at one time
attempted to acquire an easement but was unsuccessful. The
property owners refused to sell. The City has asked the petitioner
to work with the awners of the trailer park in order to acquire
additional right-of-way in front of the trailer park to complete
the Viron Road extension. The petitioner indicated that he was
also unsuccessful. It has been the City's policy not to condemn
single family residential properties for public works projects.
The petitioner has completed a traffic study of the area in order
to address the impacts without the Viron Road extension. The study
indicated that the average daily trips generated by the project
will be 2,349. Half of those will be into the site and half out
of the site. The peak hour trips will be as follows:
Morning (6:30 - 7:30 a.m.) Evening (4:15 - 5:15 p.m.)
In 153
201
Out 64 207
The study also confirms that the 73 1/2 Avenue access should remain
open, as it reduces the congestion at the 73rd Avenue intersection
(see attached traffic study) . At such time when the Viron Road
extension is made, the 73 1/2 Avenue intersection to Highway 65
should be vacated by the City. It should be noted that a shopping
center is a permitted use in the C-3, General Shopping District.
A shopping center would generate twice as much traffic based on
information from the Institute of Traffic Engineers.
The current right-of-way for the existing frontage road is 40 feet.
A 10 foot street easement should be granted to the City in order
to obtain the proper right-of-way for the Viron Road project.
Site Plan
The petitioner has submitted a site plan which meets all the code
requirements in regards to parking and setbacks. The landscape
plan will require minor adjustments, and the petitioner will need
to submit an irrigation plan. In addition, the petitioner will be
12E
Staff Report
SP #90-15, A1 Schrader
Page 4
required to fulfill the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed
District reqarding grading and drainage plans.
The special use permit request for automotive uses and exterior
storage will require several stipulations in order to ensure
minimum impact to the residential neighborhood from odor emissions
and hazardous waste handling. There are strict Environmental
Protection Agency laws regarding the odor emissions from painting
and auto body repair facilities. In addition, many of the paints
and hardeners used in auto paint do contain lead, and therefore,
special handling techniques will be required to prevent the
spillage of this hazardous material. The petitioner will not be
allowed to store junk vehicles on the site.
Recommendation and Stipulations
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval
of the special use permit, SP #90-15, to allow repair garages,
motor vehicle oil dispensing services, automotive service stations,
car washes, and exterior storage, with the following stipulations:
l. The rezoning request, ZOA �90-05, shall be approved.
2. The petitioner shall submit grading and drainage plans of
calculations approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District
prior to issuance of the building permit.
3. The petitioner shall submit a revised landscape plan prior to
the issuance of the building permit, indicating the following
changes:
A. Reduce the berm at the intersection of 73 1/2 Avenue and
Viron Road.
B. Add 6 additional Linden trees somewhere on site.
C. The wood screening fence along the north property line
is currently unnecessary. However, the petitioner shall
install a screening fence along the north property line
if the existing fence should for some reason be removed
or damaged.
4. The petitioner shall submit an irrigation plan prior to
issuance of the building permit.
5. The petitioner shall dedicate a l0 foot easement parallel to

6. The petitioner shall combine the lots for tax purposes.

Planninq Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the request to the City Council. The Commission voted to amend
stipulations #8 and #9 to read:
8. Auto body repair and painting tenants shall comply with EPA
regulations to control odor emissions and hazardous materials.
9. There shall be no repair of automobiles before 7:00 a.m. or
after 9:00 p.m.
The Commission also added two additional stipulations:
16. The petitioner shall submit documentation to staff ensuring
that the fill material currently on-site is contaminant-free.
17. The special use permit shall be reviewed on an annual basis
until the facility is fully occupied or five years, whichever
comes first.

The petitioner has submitted the contract with the contractor
verifying that the dirt is not contaminated. The Engineering
Department determined that the dirt is from a street excavation
project in New Brighton. In fact, the City used some of this
material for the 67th Avenue improvement costs.

Ms. McPherson stated the parcels are directly adjacent to 73 1/2
Avenue and the Central Auto Parts facility on 73 1/2 Avenue. The
property is vacant at the present time. There is some "scrub"
vegetation and some asphalt paving from prior uses on the property.
Ms. McPherson stated these lots are currently zoned M-1, Liqht
Industrial. The parcels to the east and south are zoned M-1, Light
Industrial, while parcels to the north and west are zoned C-3,
General Shoppinq. Lots 7, 8, and 9 were zoned M-1 in 1979 at the
request of two petitioners interested in constructing a contractinq
business. The rezoninq was approved; however, the business was
never constructed.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner intends to combine the three
lots with the adjacent parcels to the north and west in order to
construct three buildings, two for an auto mall facility, and one
for a restaurant facility. Rezoning these lots would be consistent
with the adj acent zoning and adj acent land uses to the west and
south. The Rapid Oil at the intersection of 73rd Avenue/Highway
65 is zoned commercial, as is City Sports just two blocks south of
the Rapid Oil site. In addition, SuperAmerica, while not zoned
commercial, is more a commercial/retail than industrial use.
Ms. McPherson stated that the Central Avenue Corridor study done
in 1989 recommended that�the parcels alonq Highway 65, which are
currently zoned M-1, be rezoned to one of the three commercial
zoning designations.
Ms. McPherson stated that since the rezoning request is consistent
with the adjacent zoning and land uses, as well as the
recommendations of the Central Avenue Corridor study, staff
recommends the Planning Commission recommend apprcval of rezoning
request, ZOA #90-05, with the followinq stipulations:
1. The parcels shall be combined for tax purposes.
2. The special use permit, SP #90-15, shall be approved.
Special Use Permit Rectuest
Ms. McPherson stated the special use permit request' is for the same
three lots, Lots 7, 8, and 9, and the parcels directly to the north
and west of the site. The special use permit is to allow
automotive uses on this site. Those uses include car washes, auto
repair, auto body repair, and exterior storage. The City Attorney
has determined that a car rental facility would require a separate
and second special use permit in order to determine the impact of
the parking and siqnage of the rental facility on this particular
site.
12J
gLliNNZNG COMMISSZON I�ETIN4 BEPTEMBER iZ. 1990 B71GE�
Ms. KcPherson etated this property is vacant and ie zoned C-3 and
M-l. Located directly to the north is a mobile home park. This
parcel is zoned R-4, Mobile Home Park, and is residential in
character. In addition, Tam's Rice Bowl, is located to the north
of this site and is zoned C-3, General Shoppinq.
Ms. McPherson stated the City currently owns a portion of the
property in question, Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1, Central View
Manor, the three western-most lots adjacent to 73 1/2 Avenue.
These were acquired by the City as tax forfeit property. Lot 1 is
currently being used as right-of-way for the service road. The
petitioner has asked the City to sell Lots 2 and 3 to him in order
to create a large enough parcel for this development.
Ms. McPherson stated this property has had a number of special use
permits for a variety of different uses. In 1974-75, a special use
permit was issued to allow the sale of used cars. In 1975, a
special use permit was issued to allow the same of trailer homes.
Ms. McPherson stated that one of the larqer issues concerninq the
site is that the proposed auto mall and restaurant will increase
traf f ic in the area . Currently, there is access to Hiqhway 65 both
at 73rd Avenue and 73 1/2 Avenue. In 1987, Rapid Oil requested
that the City vacate 73 1/2 Avenue. This would allow Rapid Oil to
have a larger parcel. The City Council tabled the request
indefinitely.
Ms. McPherson stated 1�1/DOT has indicated that in 1992 when they
upgrade the 73rd Avenue intersection, they will be closing the
median crossing at 73 1/2 Avenue. This would be appropriate as it
would still allow a right-in, right-out access at the 73 1/2 Avenue
entrance to this particular neiqhborhood and would eliminate a
dangerous crossover.
Ms. McPherson stated the 73 1/2 Avenue right-of-way should not be
vacated until such a time at which the Viron Road service road can
be extended past the trailer court. Closing the 73 1/2 Avenue
access would cause traffic to back up in both east and west
directions at 73 Avenue. Over a period of years, the City has
tried to acquire right-of-way to construct the Viron Road extension
and has been unsuccessful. The City has asked the petitioner to
work with the owners of the mobile home court in order to acquire
the additional right-of-way needed, and the petitioner has also
been unsuccessful.
Ms. McPherson stated the traffic qenerated by the proposed project
will increase the qeneral traffic in the area. The petitioner has
completed a traffic study of the area. The study indicated that
the ADT (averaqe daily trips) generated by the project would be
2,349. One-half of those trips are considered into the site and
1/2 are considered out of the site. The qreatest impact will be
12K

felt durinq the eveninq peak hour times between 4:15 - 5:15 p.m.
The study determined that 201 trips would be into the site in the
evening and 207 trips would be out of the site in the evening. The
study also indicated that 73 1/2 Avenue access should remain open
as it helps reduce congestion at the 73rd Avenue intersection. It
was noted by the traffic consultant that a shoppinq center is a
permitted use in the C-3 district and that a shoppinq center would
generate about the same traffic during the peak hours and more
traffic durinq off-peak hours.
Ms. McPherson stated the current riqht-of-way for the frontage road
is 40 feet; and a 10 foot street easement should be qranted to the
City in order to obtain the proper riqht-of-way for the Viron Road
project.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner has submitted a site plan which
meets all the code requirements in reqard to parking and setbacks.
The landscape plan will require some minor adjustments. The
petitioner is required to submit an irrigation plan and wi12 be
required to fulfill the requirements of the Rice Creek Watershed
District regarding grading and drainage on and frcm the site.
Ms. McPherson stated that with automotive uses, staff must ensure
a minimum impact to the residential neighborhood from odor
emissions and hazardous waste. The proposed tenants will need to
follow the quidelines set by the Environmental Protection Agency
regarding odor emissions from painting and auto body repair
facilities.
Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends the Planning Commission
recommend approval of the special use permit, SP #90-15, with the
followinq stipulations:
1. The rezoning request, ZOA �90-15, shall be approved.
2. The petitioner shall submit qrading and drainage plans
of calculations approved by the Rice Creek Watershed
District prior to issuance of the building permit.
3. The petitioner shall submit a revised landscape plan
prior to the issuance of a buildinq permit indicating
the followinq changes:
a. The berm at the intersection of 73 1/2 Avenue and
Viron Road shall be reduced.
b. Six additional Linden trees shall be added somewhere
on the site.
c. The wood screening fence alonq the north property
line is currently unnecessary. However, the.
petitioner shall install a screeninq fence along

the north property line if the existing fence
should, for aome reason, be removed or damaged.
4. The petitioner shall submit an irriqation plan prior to
the issuance of a building permit.
5. The petitioner shall dedicate a 10 foot easement parallel
to the east right-of-way line of Viron Road to the City.
6. The petitioner shaZl combine the lots for tax purposes.
7. There shall be no exterior Btoraqe of junk vehicles,
tires, or trailers. Vehicles waiting to be serviced
shall be allowed to be stored overnight, provided they
are currently licensed and street operable.
8. Auto body repair and painting tenants shall comply with
EPA regulations to control odor emissions and hazardous
materials.
9. There shall be no repair of automobiles after the hour
of 9:00 p.m.
l0. Rooftop equipment shall be scre�ned.
11. The petitioner shall submit a comprehensive siqn plan
for City Council approval.
12. Tenants which contribute to odor emissions shall be
located along the east side of the eastern-most building
on the site.
13. The petitioner shall apply for a special nse permit for
any auto rental tenants.
14. A park fee of $.023 per square foot shall be paid at the
time of building permit.
25. The petitioner shall work with I�1/DOT to stripe a right
turn lane to 73 1/2 Avenue on Highway 65.
Mr. Mike Schrader stated he is representing the petitioner, A1
Schrader. He stated also with him is Paul Noyes, Construction
Consultant.
Mr. Schrader stated that, as stated by staff, this property was
previously a used car lot, then purchased by the petitioner and
was used as a retail mobile home site for a number of years. The
property has now been vacant for 2-3 years. Durinq that period of
time, a number of reviews of the land were done to determine the
highest and best use for the Zand. They also did some demographic
studies. They came to the conclusion that tiiey wanted a mixed
12M
pLANNINt3 COMMI88ION MEETINCi. 8$PT$I+�BER 12 . 1990 BFiGS _�
retail site and an auto mall was suqqested. They reviewed a number
of auto malls in town and decided they wanted to combine some old
ideas with new ideas. The new idea being the restaurant and the
configuration of the buildinq materials.
Mr. Schrader stated this property is in a redevelopment area for
tax increment financinq. He appeared before the HRA in an effort
to obtain tax increment financinq; however, upon meetinq with City
Council members, the Council felt it was in the petitioner's best
interest to not seek tax increment financinq. They have not done
so.
Mr. Schrader stated the site would have 26,300 sq. ft. of auto mall
and 4,000 sq. ft. free-standinq restaurant. There would be three
buildings. Tenants they have under letter of credit for the auto
mall make up 15,700 sq. ft., approximately 60$ of the mall. They
have Good Year, Mr. Clutch, an auto parts store, an auto glass
repair, and an auto rental facility. Country Iiospitality, a
franchise of the Country Kitchen group, will have a full service
restaurant.
Mr. Schrader stated they have no objections to the stipulations
recommended by staff.
Mr. Kondrick asked about the availability of parkinq if an auto
leasing facility is allowed as a tenant.
Mr. Schrader stated that if a tenant was leasing autos out of the
site, there would not be enough parking. If an auto leasing
facility is put into the mall, it would be an office only. The
automobiles for lease would be kept off site. The restaurant and
the other uses in the mall meet the parking requirements.
Ms. Dacy stated the standards staff advised the petitioner to use
was the 1- 150 sq. ft. which is very conservative and, if an auto
mall was to not operate any more and a retail use went in, there
would be adequate parking space. Staff also consulted an Urban
Land Institute document regardinq parking requirements for auto
malls. Given that auto malls are a recent production of the
automotive markets, a lot of zoninq ordinances do not specify
ratios. She believed the auto mall will generate a little lower
parking demand than retail because the peak hours are morning and
afternoon and there are not as many daily trips.
Mr. Saba asked about the possibility of a body repair shop or an
auto paintinq facility.
Mr. Schrader stated there is a qood possibility that they will have
an automotive collision repair or paintinq center in the mall.
They have discussed the issues regarding keepinq the odors to level
of the code and pratectinq the neighboring residents, and they will
12N
gl��1v"dING CC1lQII68IOIJ riEETIl1G. BBPTEI��R 1�. 1990 Pl1GE �
put these facilities in the easterly building. The buildinqs will
be built to the specifications for these types of facilities.
Mr. Saba asked about the exterior storage of damaqed vehicles.
Mr. Schrader stated they do not intend to store any collision
vehicles. On occasion, it might happen, but they do not believe
there will be a significant amount of overnight storage of damaged
vehicles. They have discussed making sure they have enough square
footage of storage inside as �rell as outside for partia2ly damaged
and collision vehicles. They do not want to be an eyesore.
Mr. Paul Noyes stated they wilZ not be dealing with badly damaged
cars. Any damaged cars will be parked along the east side of the
property, and those cars would not be seen by anyone driving by.
Mr. Mitch DeMars, 1130 Fireside Drive, an owner of the Park Plaza
Mobile Home Court, asked about the dirt being hauled onto the site.
Is there any chance of contamination in the soil?
Mr. Schrader stated they received a permit to bring the soil into
the site. He has a contract with the excavator who brought in the
soil that there are no contaminants in the soil.
Mr. DeMars asked about noise emission from the repair of cars.
Mr. Noyes stated most collision centers close at 4:30 p.m.;
however, they cannot limit the business to close at that hour.
Every business will be closed, other than the restaurant, at 9:00
p.m.
Mr. DeMars stated that noise emission and smells are the biggest
concerns of the residents of Park Plaza Mobile Home Court.
Mr. Schrader stated the mall has been desiqned so that the drive-
in doors are all inside the square of the mall. Any doors facing
north are drive-through doors. Hopefully, these doors will only
be used as an exit function. They cannot govern the hours of
operation beyond the limitation of the special use permit which is
9:00 p.m.; however, in their review of other auto malls, most malls
operate during reqular business hours.
Mr. Schrader stated they have tried to keep any uses that wi12 emit
odors on the east side of the property away from the residents of
the mobile home court and the restaurant.
Mr. Noyes stated that with the new code requirements which filter
out odors, he did not believe odor would be a problem.
Mr. Betzold stated there is a stipulation restrictinq the closing
hour of a repair business to 9:00 p.m. Do t2iey want to restrict
the starting time?
120
�LANNING COMMI88ION MBBTINa. BBPTEMB$R 12. 2990 p�►Q� �
Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission could certainly do that.
Mr. Betzold sugqested no repair of automobiles before the hour of
7:00 a.m.
Mr. Schrader stated he thought 6:30-7:00 a.m. would be reasonable.
Mr. Betzold suggested another stipulation that the special use
permit be reviewed in one year.
Mr. Betzold also reassured the owners of the Park Plaza Mobile Home
Court that he did not see the City doinq anything to extend Viron
Road at this time because of the City Council's policy to not
displace existinq families or condemn property.
Mr. Paul Bodick, 748 Onondaqa Street, stated he has lived at this
address for 14 years. He stated he has a beautiful back yard. He
is very concerned about the noise. A repair business is allowed
to be open until 9:00 p.m. He did not want to be out in his back
yard in the eveninq and hear pounding noise. And, it will be
difficult for people to sleep in the morninq and on weekends.
There will be additionaZ traffic and noise.
Mr. Noyes stated the only business on the north side near the
residents will be an auto glass repair business. The collision
shop will be on the east side by the junkyard. Aqain, he did not
think noise will be a prob2em.
Mr. Bodick stated any time they have their windows open, they will
hear noise. They can hear people talkinq and smell gas from the
SuperAmerica Station on 73rd/University Avenue.
Mr. Schrader stated this property is zoned C-3, General Shopping,
and any business put on that property within that zoning is going
to generate a certain amount of noise and odors. The property has
either been vacant or been a retail mobile home site or a used car
site for a number of years, and it has been a quiet area. However,
the auto mall is within the uses allowed in the C-3 zoning. He
stated they are sensitive to the neighbors concerns and that is why
they designed the mall the way they did. He stated he would be
willinq to have a one year review.
Mr. Bodick stated that if this special use permit is approved and
the auto mall is built, if there is a lot of noise, the neighbors
in this area will certainly complain to the City.
Ms. Delores DeMars, an owner of the Park Plaza Mobile Home Court,
stated it was her understandinq that the restaurant would be open
24 hours, and there would be a bar. She had concerns about the
late hours and the servinq of liquor.
12P
gL!►NNSNG COI+D�IISSIOl�i ISBBTIIda. BBPTgl�IBSR 12. 1990 P7�►GE 14
Mr. Schrader stated the restaurant Will be Country Hospitality, a
family restaurant. In the planninq stage, a pub vas reviewed and
decided aqainst, 6o there will not be any "bar". However, the
restaurant would like to be able to serve beer and �rine with the
meals. At this time, he did not believe the restaurant would be
open 24 hours. It will probably close at the standard closing time
of 1:00 a.m.
Ms. DeMars stated there are several retirees in the mobile home
court who have lived there 8- 25 years. These people are used to
privacy and somewhat quiet so this will be a qreat change for them.
Will there be trees and any kind of noise barrier?
Mr. Schrader stated the elevations are different and the mobile
home court is a little hiqher than the auto mall site so that will
be a natural barrier. There is also the existing fence. He stated
the petitioner is mindful of mobile home park residents as he the
owner of several mobile home parks and houses, and he wants to do
what he can to promote mobile home livinq in the City of Fridley.
Ms. Evelyn Bodick, 1138 Onondaga, stated that garages that repair
cars put hoses through the garage doors to vent the exhaust fumes.
Wi11 they have to put up with exhaust fumes?
Mr. Schrader stated that the Iatest and highest level of technology
will be incorporated into this auto mall. He believed all the
emissions will be throuqh the roof.
Ms. Bodick stated the emissions will still be coming into the air.
Their bedroom is right next to this property, and they qet the
gasoline fumes from SuperAmerica. They can even hear people
talking at SuperAmerica in the middle of the night. This is really
a disturbance.
Mr. Noyes stated that regardinq gasoline emissions, they will not
have that with collision repair. Even if one car is started every
one-half hour, it is still minimal compared to 80,000 cars a day
traveling on Highway 65. And, there will be no repair at night
after 9:00 p.m.
Ms. Joyce Trebisovsky, stated she is one of the owners of the Park
Plaza Mobile Home Court. She stated that Mr. Schrader had said
that one of the tenants will be Good Year. She stated that she
does business with Good Year. Good Year is open until 9:00 p.m.,
and they keep their doors open all the time. She is totally
concerned about the clean air. There is a lot of traffic in the
area already. The cars are totally backed up, especially at 4:00-
4:30 p.m.
Ms. Trebisovsky stated she did not understand how the City can
allcw acetone which is used to spray paint cars. She is frightened
because she knows what damage chemicals can do. She stated there
12Q
�LANNIN(3 CO1rIId288ION MEETINO. BEPTEMBEIt 12. 1990 kAGB 15
is the junk yard on the east and that is where all the emissions
are supposed to go. If the emissions are released out of the roof,
they still qo into the air and over the trailer court raofs. She
stated she knows the City needs the tax money, but not at the
expense of our lungs.
Ms. Trebisovsky stated the Commission has suggested reviewing the
special use permit in one year which sounds like they are qoinq to
approve it. She could understand proqress, but she did not think
this development is reasonable in this area next to residential.

THE MOTION CARRIED l�ND THB PIIBLIC HEARINGS CL08ED AT 9:05 P.M.
Ms. Sherek stated she is really concerned about a collision
center/auto body repair shop in the auto mall. They just got an
illegal auto body repair shop removed from 73rd Avenue, and the
emissions were horrendous. She realized that most af this property
is zoned C-3, but there is residential property right next to it,
and she thought a collision center is an awful idea.
Ms. Dacy stated that one of the four special use permits the
petitioner is requestinq is for repair garages. It is within the
Commission's purview to specify what uses are permitted and what
are not permitted.
Mr. Hetzold asked Mr. Schrader what he thought of a possible
stipulation to not permit auto repair shops as a special use.
Mr. Schrader stated that when the City limits its sphere of
potential tenants, it limits their ability to overall lease the
mall. They have met with several reputable collision centers in
the metropolitan area, and they do not think it would be
appropriate for the CIty to limit their ability to lease this
potential site. They do not have a signed �ease with a collision
center at this time; however, collision centers are larger and
would take up a considerable amount of square footage. By not
allowing them to lease a collision center, the City would be
hampering their ability to make a financially viable mall. It is
a limitation they would have a hard time living with.
Mr. Kondrick asked what is necessary for someone who will be
paintinq cars and emittinq odors.
Ms. Dacy stated the tenant will come in for a buildinq permit and
as part of the buildinq permit process, the tenant will be required
to install a certain venting system (paint booth) which is reviewed
by the Fire Inspector. The paint booth will diminish the odor, but
there will be some odor that will be emitted. It would be

Ms. Sherek stated that if an auto body repair shop becomes a

Ms. Dacy stated when staff looked at this particular application,

there would be more than one application, they had taken the
approach of a blanket penait. Given the concerns about odor and
collision repair, she thought it would be appropriate to have these
types of businesses apply for a separate special use permit.

Dear Mr. Schrader:
12U
RE: FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
A, L, S PROPERTIES
RESTAURANT AND AUTO SERVICE
MALL
N.E. CORNER T.H. 65 FRONTAGE
ROAD AND 73-1/2 AVENUE NORTH
Thank you for the opportunity to review future traffic patterns
at the proposed Auto Mall in Fridley at the intersection of T.H.
65 and 73-1/2 Avenue North. According to the site plan provided
to us, the proposed project consists of 4,000 square feet of
restaurant and 26,300 square feet of auto/service mall. The
project is bounded by a two lane service road which dead ends at
the northerly project boundary, and 73-1/2 Avenue, which is a two
lane city street currently having full access to T.H. 65. T.H.
65 is located west of the service road and consists of two
northbound and two southbound lanes with paved shoulders and
grass median. Additional transportation facilities in the
vicinity include 73rd Avenue with a signalized intersection at
T.H. 65. Seventy-third Avenue is a four lane Municipal State-Aid
(MSA) street which has one left turn lane, one through lane and
one right turn lane in the westbound direction at T.H. 65. A
raised median exists between T.H. 65 and the East Service Road.
According to the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT),
a signal upgrade at T.H. 65 and 73rd Avenue is planned for the
spring of 1992. Along with this project, Mn/DOT plans to close
the grass median at 73-1/2 Avenue. The purpose of closing this
median would be to limit left turn movements to and from T.H. 65
at 73-1/2 Avenue as well as to provide uninterrupted southbound
left turn storage along T.H. 65 at 73rd Avenue. This is a
practice which is commonly being carried out along many of the
trunk highways in the Metro area as Mn/DOT is striving to improve
safety and efficiency along these roadways.
In order to determine the propose
65/73rd Avenue and T.H. 65/73-1/2
projected average daily, a.m., and p.
two intersections. Three scenarios h
d project's impact at T.H.

median opening as exists today.
Right-in/right-out access from 73-1/2 Avenue to T.H. 65
with the median ciosed.
Elimination of the intersection of 73-1/2 Avenue and
T.H. 65. Under this scenario, 73-1/2 Avenue would "T"
into the East Service Road from the east.
The attached figures show the traffic volumes at these inter-
sections under all three scenarios.
In order to determine these traffic volumes it was necessary to
identify the trip generation created by the proposed project.
For the most part, Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)
trip generation rates were used to determine trip generetion of
the proposed land uses. However, for those land uses involving
the servicing of automobiies, trip generation was determined by
applying information gathered from the manager of an existing
Goodyear Service Station with respect to the average amount of
time required to service a vehicie, the proportion customers who
wait for their vehicles as opposed to leaving and picking them up
later, and the hours of operation. This information was mainly
used for the proposed Goodyear Service Station.
Trip distribution for the project was partly determined based on
the 1986 intersection counts taken at T.H. 65 and 73rd Avenue.
The distribution percentages were modified to reflect the
proposed land use and new development patterns in the north
suburbs. Generally speaking it appears that much of the employee
traffic generated to the vicinity of the auto mall uses 73rd
Avenue to get to University Avenue where drivers then travel
north to Highway 10. This allows a diversion of the Northtown
area along Highway 10 which typically experiences severe peak
hour congestion. Therefore, the traffic distribution in and out
of the area was estimated as follows:
T.H. 65 to/from the north 15$
T.H. 65 to/from the south 20$
73rd Avenue to/from the west 45$
73rd Avenue to/from the east 17$
73-1/2 Avenue to/from the east 3�

access to/from the Auto Mall are relatively low. However, this
low volume does not support keeping the median open from a safety
and highway capacity standpoint along T.H. 65. This is mainly
due to the high speed of travel along this major arteriai
combined with the ciose proximity of 73rd Avenue. In this
situation the short distance between 73rd Avenue and 73-Z/2
Avenue results in a situation where drivers turning left from
73-1/2 Avenue may be preoccupied by watching for gaps in the
southbound T.H. 65 traffic and may not observe vehicles turning
right from 73rd Avenue to northbound T.H. 65. Furthermore, the
southbound left turn movement from T.H. 65 to 73-1/2 Avenue has
the potential of reducing the capacity of the southbound left
turn lane along T.H. b5 at 73rd Avenue. This would occur when a
vehicle waiting to turn left at this intersection is blocking
other southbound vehicles in the left turn lane from proceeding
to the signaiized intersection at 73rd Avenue.
The right turn movements at 73-1/2 Avenue do not result in the
same level of concern as the left turn movements at this
intersection. However, it should be recognized that there may be
potential problems associated with this travel pattern. The
largest concern revolves around the northbound right turn from
T.H. 65 to 73-1/2 Avenue. Northbound traffic on T.H. 65 moves at
roughly 55 mph. This high-speed traffic combined with high peak
hour volumes will result in drivers who are pushing their speed
to get through the T.H. 65/73rd Avenue traffic signai.
Therefore, traffic slowing down immediately north of the
intersection to turn right at 73-1/2 Avenue will increase the
likelihood of rear end collisions. The existing paved shoulder
would be adequate to stripe a right turn lane between 73rd Avenue
and 73-1/2 Avenue. This will reduce the slowing of traffic which
occurs in the through iane on T.H. 65.
Retaining the right-in/right-out of 73-1/2 Avenue and T.H. 65 is
recommended due to the fact that this reduces the volume of
traffic turning left from eastbound 73rd Avenue onto the east
service road. A heavy eastbound left turn movement at this
location is undesirable due to the backup of westbound traffic
which stacks on 73rd Avenue at the T.H. 65 traffic signal.
During peak hours it is likely that the project traffic added to
the existing traffic volume will stack beyond the intersection
of 73rd Avenue and the east service road Therefore, reducing the
eastbound left turn movement onto the east service road by
retaining the northbound right at 73-1/2 Avenue will benefit the
system as a whole.

As can be sesn in Figures 2 and 3, providing the right turn
ingress at 73-1/2 Avenue wi12 reduce the p.m. peak hour volume of
traffic turning left from 73rd Avenue onto the East Service Road
from approximately 160 to 79 vehicles. A similar reduction is
likely during the a.m. peak hour. However, the a.m. peak is not
as critical since the volume of westbound vehicles at the
intersection of 73rd Avenue and T.H. 65 is significantly Iess
than during the p.m. peak hour.
If you have further questions regarding the treffic patterns in
the vicinity of this project, please do not hesitate to contact
either Glen Van Wormer at 490-2045 or myself at 490-2071.

Re,guest
The petitioner, David Slovensky, is requesting a special use perrait
to allow the construction of a second accessory building over 240
square feet. It is the petitioner's intent to store his boat, lawn
mower, and miscellaneous items in the second accessory building,
which will replace two existing metal storaqe sheds currently on
the property. The request is for Lot 29, Block 1, Oak Creek
Addition, the same being 7234 East River Road N.E.
Site
The parcel is located at the southwest corner of the intersection
of Logan Parkway and East River Road. There is a single family
dwelling unit with an attached, two car garage on the parcel. The
parcel is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are adjacent
parcels to the north, south, east, and west.
Analysis
The petitioner, by requesting the special use permit to construct
the second accessory building, will eliminate the need for two
metal storage sheds currently located at the rear of the parcel.
Staff analyzed the parcel and determined that with the proposed
accessory building, the lot coverage is only 8.6�. The
petitioner's lot is quite large (26,445 square feet) and there will
be adequate space between the proposed accessory building and
adjacent parcels (see attached site plan). In addition, the
petitioner will not need to provide a second driveway to the
proposed accessory building; access to the structure will be from
the existing driveway. The petitioner's existing driveway is only
partially paved. Section 205.07.06.A.(2) of the zoning code
requires all driveways to be surfaced with blacktop, concrete, or
other hardsurface material.
Anoka County has been improving East River Road to accommodate
increased levels of traffic. This improvement requires an increase
in the amount of right-of-way from 50 feet to 100 feet. The
section of road in front of the petitioner's lot will be improved
in the next few years, and the petitioner will need to grant an
easement for additional right-of-way for this improvement. The
County has not submitted its improvement plans to staff, so the
width of the easement is not known.
Recommendation and Stipulations
As the proposed accessory building will have a minimum impact on
the adjacent properties, staff recommends that the Planning
Commission recommend approval of the special use permit request,
13C

SP #90-16, for a second accessory building, with the following
stipulations:
1. Access to the second accessory building shall be through the
existing driveway.
2. The petitioner shall work with staff to grant the easements
needed for additional right-of-way for Anoka County to expand
East River Road.
3. There shall be no home occupation in the second accessory
building.
4. The accessory building shall be architecturally compatible
with the existing dwelling unit.
5. The petitioner shall provide a hardsurface driveway for the
existing garage by September 30, 1991.
PlanninQ Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted to recommend approval of the request
with the following amended stipulations:
1. Access to the second accessory building shall be through the
existing driveway.
2. There shall be no home occupation in the second accessory
building.
3. The accessory building shall be architecturally compatible
with the existing dwelling unit.
4. The driveway issue shall be reviewed in two years. The
petitioner shall provide a hardsurface driveway for the
existing garage within one year of Anoka County completing the
East River Road improvement.

might be profitable for Sears or the property owner to add onto
the building and correct the situation.
Mr. Bushey stated there are a lot of lives involved, he and his
family included, and he is going to be trying very hard in the next
four years to make it work. But, right now, they do not know what
will happen in four years. In the meantime, Sears management is
also pursuing another Fridley location.
Mr. Betzold stated that maybe the Commission should deny the
special use permit, and that will force the issue with Sears.
Ms. Modi.g stated she did not agree. This is a business that has
been in Fridley for 20 years. If they deny the special use permit
and force the issue, they may lose Sears altogether. There are too
many vacant buildings in Fridley now. She would be in favor of
approving the special use permit with the stipulation that it be
reviewed in four years, and then maybe something more permanent can
be done at that time.
MOTION by Ms. Sherek, seconded by Ms. Modig, to recommend to City
Council approval of special use permit, SP #90-06, by Bob Bushey
of Sears Outlet, per Section 205.15.O1.D.(8) of the Fridley City
Code, to allow exterior storage of materials on Lot 1, Block 1,
Shorewood Plaza, generally located at 1000 East Moore Lake Drive
N.E., with the following stipulations:
1. There shall be no more than one live and three dropped
trailers located at the rear of the Sears Outlet building
at any time.
2. The petitioner shall work with staff on appropriate
screening and landscaping and the appropriate location
for the screening at the west end of the building.
3. The special use permit shall be reviewed in four years
or sooner if the tenant leaves or any expansion of the
building is undertaken.

MOTION by Ms. Modig, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to waive the reading

OPON A VOICB VOTB, ALL VOTING l�YE, CHAIRPER80N BBTZOLD DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARINQ OPEN !�T 8:05 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the.petitioner is requesting a special use
permit to allow the construction of a second accessory building
over 240 sq. ft. The property is located at the intersection of
East River Road and Logan Parkway. The property is zoned R-1,
Single Family Dwelling. Currently on the site is a single family
dwelling with an attached two car garage.
Ms. McPherson stated the proposed second accessory building will
be located adjacent to the garage area of the existing dwelling
unit and will be used to store the petitioner's boat, trailer, Iawn
mower, and miscellaneous items. The petitioner will be accessing
the second accessory building from the existing driveway which
currently accesses East River Road. The petitioner's driveway is
only partially paved and should be paved based on the Zoning Code
requirements.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner's lot is larger than the
average lot in the City of Fridley. The lot coverage with the
proposed accessory building is approximately 8.6�.
Ms. McPherson stated Anoka County has been slowly improving East
River Road to accommodate increase levels of traffic. The
improvement requires an increase in the amount of right-of-way from
the existing 50 feet to approximately 100-120 feet. In speaking
with Anoka County staff, this is actually a federally funded
improvement proj ect, and they have not yet started the constreiction
drawings for this portion of East River Road. The amount of
additional right-of-way that will needed is not known at this time.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner will need to grant easements
for the additional right-of-way for the expansion of East River
Road at some point in the future. The expansion has been scheduled
for either the 1992 or 1993 construction season.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending that the Planning
Commission recommend approval of the special use permit request as
the proposed second accessory building will have a minimum impact
on the petitioner's lot and on adjacent properties. Staff is
recommending five stipulations:
1. Access to the second accessory driveway shall be through
the existing driveway.
2. The petitioner shall work with staff to grant the
easements needed for additional riqht-of-way for Anoka
County to expand East River Road.
13F
pLANNING COMMISSION MEBTING, OCTOBER 10. 1990 PAGE 7
3. There shall be no home occupation in the second accessory
building.
4. The accessory building shall be architecturally
compatible with the existing dwelling unit.
5. The petitioner shall provide a hard surface driveway for
the existing garage by September 30, 1991.
Mr. Dahlberg asked about the intent of stipulation #2 relative to
easements needed for additional right-of-way for the expansion of
East River Road. He stated the reason he is asking this is because
he lives on East River Road, and the County actually purchased
property from him to expand the road. It was not a question of an
easement. Because of the expansion, his property is now
nonconforming as far as the front yard setback.
Ms. Dacy asked if Mr. Dahlberg is saying that it could be inferred
from this stipulation that the property owner would grant easements
with no compensation from the County? And, by eliminating that
stipulation, then there is no issue and the County has to approach
Mr. Slovensky?
Mr. Dahlberg stated that is correct. He stated it is in Mr.
Slovensky's best interest to have the County come to him. If this
stipulation runs with the special use permit, then potentially the
City has to be involved in whatever negotiations occur relative to
the County acquiring property or acquiring easements. He did not
think that type of City involvement is suitable.
Ms. Dacy stated Mr. Dahlberg has a very good point. She stated
staff's intent was to make sure that the easement is somehow
conveyed, but she agreed that the City may not want to be caught
in the middle of any acquisition issue.
Mr. Betzold agreed. The County can always go through the
condemnation process if they cannot acquire the property.
Mr. Dahlberg stated it might be appropriate to have something in
the stipulatian relative to noncompliance to setbacks, because of
the property taken by the County. As in his case, if he wants to
put on an addition to his house, he is restricted because he is now
nonconforming relative to the front yard setback.
Mr. Slovensky stated he would like to address stipulation #5. He
added onto his garage about six years ago. He added on a 12 ft.
x 20 ft. gravel section for parking his truck. The fifth
stipulation is requiring him to hard surface his driveway by
September 30, 1991. He would prefer to wait until the County
widens East River Road so that he can tie his driveway in at that
time. He stated he could hard surface his driveway now, but would
13G
pLANNING COMMIBSION MEBTING, OCTOBBR 10. 1990 PAQE 8
have to tear it up again when the Caunty expands East River Road.
The County resurfaced East River Road about 6-8 years ago, and the
pavement is 2-3 inches above his driveway now.
Mr. Dahlberg stated Mr. Slovensky has certainly done a nice job of
being conscious of how his property looks and in screening outside
storage items. He did.not have a problem with delaying the
completion date for the hard surface driveway.
Mr. Betzold suggested that staff review the status of the East
River Road expansion in two years and then put a cap of one year
after the expansion is completed for the driveway to be completed.
MOTION by Mr. Dahlberg, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to close the public
hearing.

Request
Bob Bushey, manager of the Sears outlet store located at 1000 East
Moore Lake Drive N.E., is,requesting that a special use permit be
granted in order to park up to 5 semi-truck trailers at the rear
of the Sears store. The legal description for this parcel is Lot
1, Block 1, Shorewood Plaza.
Site
Located on the site is the Sear store. The store recently received
a"face lift" through various outside improvements. The entire
area from Highway 65 to Central Avenue, and from 63rd Avenue to the
Shorewood Inn is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center District.
Analysis
Mr. Bushey has indicated to staff that the semi-truck trailers are
an integral part of his operation. However, Mr. Bushey signed a
building permit on October 26, 1989 which stipulated that he remove
the semi-truck trailers from the site on or before November 17,
1989 (see attached building permit). The Code Enforcement Officer,
Steve Barg, has been working with both Mr. Bushey and Mr.
Applebaum, owner of the parcel, on the removal of these trailers.
Mr. Bushey was told that he could either remove the trailers as
per the building permit stipulation, or apply for a special use
permit (see attached letters).
Section 205.15.07.D.(5) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires the
screening of loading areas adjacent to the public right-of-way.
As the rear of the Sears building can be seen from the Highway 65
right-of-way, the code would require that this area be screened.
However, as this area also serves as a parking area and traffic
access to the parcel, there is no efficient way to screen the
proposed trailers from the public right-of-way in order to comply
with the code requirement. The location and arrangement of the
trailers create both a visibility and an access problem. It is
difficult to see traffic from the other side of the trailers, and
the driving lane is narrowed.
Section 205.15.07.D.(10) of the zoning code allows overnight
parking of motor vehicles necessary to the operation of the
principle use without screening only if they are not readily
visible from the public right-of-way. Again, as was stated
previously, this loading and storage area is highly visible from
the public right-of-way, therefore, the code would require that
this area be screened. Also, as the trailers are consistently
parked overnight, the "loading area" functians as a storage area.
13P
Staff Report
SP #90-06, Sears Outlet Store
Page 3
In addition to the above noncompliance situations, the storage
trailers are inconsistent with the goals and objectives for Tax
Increment District #2. Goal "K" states: "to promote sound land
use development procedures, including area design standards,
landscaping, and lighting standards, architectural review of new
developments and such standards that may be developed that promote
sound land resource management". These storage trai2ers are
inconsistent with the area design standards that were developed for
the remainder of the parcels within.the district. The remaining
building (Shorewood Shopping Center) has also been remodeled
consistent with the design of the new office/shopping center
building. The semi-truck trailers are a direct contrast; an
example of what the redevelopment district strives to remove
through the district's goals and objectives.
Recommendation for Mav 30 1990 Plannin� Commission MeetinQ
Because of the high visibility of the trailers from the public
right-of-way and the Shorewood Inn, the negative impact on traffic,
access and parking, and no effective method of screening, staff
recommends that the Planning Commission recommend denial of the
special use permit request, SP #90-06, to the City Council.
Update after Mav 30 1990 Planninq Commission Meetina
The Planning Commission tabled action on this item in order for the
petitioner to explore a building expansion alternative to eliminate
the need for five trailers.
Staff inet with the petitioner and the owner, on Wednesday, June 6,
1990 and determined that there was area to expand the Sears store
to provide additional storage area. A proposed site plan was
developed to present to the Planning Commission on June 20, 1990.
Update after June 20 1990 Planninct Commission Meetinct
The Planning Commission voted to table the special use permit
request for 90 days to allow Bob Bushey to find out if Sears' upper
management would authorize the building expansion. The 90 days
have now expired, and staff contacted Mr. Bushey on Thursday,
September 13, 1990 to determine the status of the proposed
expansion. Mr. Bushey stated that Sears management would not
authori2e any expansions in 1991. The second outlet store in the
Shorewood Shopping Center has opened; however, Mr. Bushey indicated
that he would still need one "live" trailer at the loading dock and
two dropped trailers for storage.

Planninct Commission Action
Prior to the September 26, 1990 Planning Commission meeting, staff
met with the petitioner on site to discuss screening alternatives,

THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
1. CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP #90-06 BY BOB BUSHEY
OF SEARS OUTLET•
Per Section 205.15.O1.D. (8) of the Fridley City Code, to allow
exterior storage of materials on Lot 1, Block 1, Shorewood
Plaza, generally located at 1000 East Moore Lake Drive N.E.
MOTION by Ms. Sherek, seconded by Mr. Dahlberg, to remove this item
from the table and to reopen the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:37 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated that this special use permit request first
came before the Planning Commission on May 30, 1990. At that time,
the petitioner indicated the existence of approximately five
trailers at the rear of the property that were needed in order to
provide additional storage area for the Sears Outlet. At that
meeting, staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend
denial of the request, based on negative impacts to the area and
13S
PLANNING COMMI88ION MEBTING, OCTOBER 10. 1990 PAGE 2
the inability of these trailers to be screened according to the
requirements of the Zoning Code.
Ms. McPherson stated that the Planning Gommission tabled the item
to allow the petitioner time to explore a building expansion
alternative to eliminate the need for five trailers. Staff inet
with the petitioner and the building owner on June 6, 1990, to
discuss the expansion alternative. A proposed site plan was
developed to present to the Planning Gommission on June 20, 1990.
Ms. McPherson stated that on June 20, 1990, the Planning Commission
again voted to table the request for 90 days to allow the
petitioner to find out if Sears management would authorize the
building expansion. Also, at that time, the petitioner indicated
they would be leasing additional space in the shopping center
across the street.
Ms. McPherson stated that on September 13, 1990, staff contacted
the petitioner to determine the status of the proposed expansion.
At that time, the petitioner indicated that Sears management would
not be authorizing any expansions for 1991. The petitioner also
indicated that his request would be reduced to one live trailer
located at the loading dock and two dropped trailers for storage.
Ms. McPherson stated there is still no effective method of
screening the trailers to meet the ordinance requirements. This
results in a negative impact on traffic, access, and parking.
Staff again recommends that the Planning Commission recommend
denial of the request to the City Council. However, if the
Commission chooses to approve the request, staff recommends the
following stipulation:
1. There shall be no more than one live and two dropped
trailers located at the rear of the Sears Outlet
building.
Ms. McPherson stated that in a discussion with �staff prior to the
September 26, 1990, meeting which was cancelled due to a lack of
a quorum, the petitioner indicated that three dropped trailers (low
boy-type trailers without wheels) were actually needed in addition
to the one live trailer located at the loading dock.
Mr. Bob Bushey stated they have opened Sears Outlet 2 across the
street and that has helped alleviate some of the need for trailers;
however, not totally. Last month, he made a concerted effort to
try and eliminate the trailers. He got down to one low boy trailer
and one live trailer, but this had a dramatic impact on their
business volume. Sales were down 14� which represents about
$100,000 in sales. He did not think he can get along without any
trailers.
13T
P7�ANNING COMMIBSION M8$TING, OCTOBER 10, 1990 PAGE 3
Ms. Bushey stated that Ms. Dacy and he have looked at some
alternatives to see if there is a way of screening the low boy
trailers.
Mr. Bushey stated they get loads from Kansas City loaded for one
store. So, they are shuttling loads of inerchandise to the Sears
Outlet 2 store which necessitates one of the trailers being on
wheels. The live trailers are charged trailers; and if he doesn't
get rid of those within 48 hours, he has to pay $50/day for rental.
He would like to rent trailers from a local rental place and have
one on wheels to shuttle merchandise across the street.
Mr. Bushey stated one of the reasons Sears management decided
against any expansion is because the Sears Outlet store has a four
year lease. There is some possibility that in four years, they may
not be able to renew their lease. With that possibility, it is
very uneconomical for Sears to expand. Also, any expansion would
not be big enough to pay for itself.
Mr. Betzold stated that if they approve the special use permit,
can they limit the special use permit to four years when the lease
is up?
Ms. Dacy stated the Commission could stipulate that the special
use permit be reviewed in four years. Once the special use permit
is granted by the Council, it will run with the property unless
the Council finds reasons to revoke it.
Ms. Dacy stated it is pretty clear that there is absolutely no way
to screen all the trailers from Highway 65 or northbound on Highway
65 from the Shorewood lot. Some of the things she and Mr. Bushey
discussed to minimize the view was a chain link fence with
slats/wood fence in a north/south fashion or at the west end of the
building. The problem with the chain link fence is that the trucks
need quite a lot of area to back up, so they cannot have any
blockage. Some type of fencing at the west end of the building may
help; however, it might take away some parking spaces.
Mr. Dahlberg asked about the approximate location of the existing
trees.
Ms. Dacy stated there are three very large trees behind the
building.
Mr. Bushey stated the trees are about 50 feet from the west side
of the building at the rear.
Mr. Bushey stated he would not have a problem with building a berm
with a fence if that is what the City wants. It would be easy to
landscape if it was Iined up with the edge of the building.
13U
PLANNING COMMI88ION MBETING. OCTOBBR 10. 1990 PAQE 4
Ms. Dacy stated there are three options for the Commission to
consider with this special use permit request:
1. Denial of the special use permit
2. Approval of the special use permit with no stipulations
or stipulation recommend by staff
3. Approval of the special use permit with two stipulations:
(1) the petitioner work with staff to install suitable
screening at the west end of the building; (2) the
special use permit be reviewed in four years
MOTION by Ms. Sherek, seconded by Ms. Modig, to close the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC BEARING CLOBSD AT 7550 P.M.
Mr. Dahlberg stated screening seems to be a viable option. In lieu
of Sear's position with a four year lease, it did not seem in
Sears' best interest to spend dollars on a building when the future
is uncertain. He believed a landscape treatment in combination
with a fence would be more palatable than just a chain link fence
with slats or a wood fence. He is nat sure where this screening
should be located. The farther away the fence is located from the
element being screened, the less effective it is. To be effective,
the fence should be right next to the element being screened. If
staff is able to work with the petitioner to determine the most
appropriate location for a screening element, that would be an
option to consider.
Ms. Sherek stated the other option is reviewing the special use
permit in four years. Normally, a special use permit runs with
the property but in the past, the Commission has stipulated that
a special use permit be limited to a certain tenant.
Ms. Dacy stated the Commission could do that if they wanted.
Mr. Betzold stated he certainly does not like the existing
situation at Sears. The rest of the area is looking very nice,
and this is an eyesore. He would like to see the trailers
eliminated; but if that shuts down the business, then that is too
drastic. Based on Mr. Bushey's comments that the store may not be
able to renew its lease in four years, he could put up with this
a little longer and would be in favor of some type of screening.
However, he would not support it if he knew the store was going to
be there 10 years from now.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he would be in favor of the stipulation for
the special use permit to be reviewed in four years. Then, if the
tenant is able to renew the lease and remain in this location, it
�3v
PLANNING COMMISSION M$BTZNG, OCTOB$R 10. 1990 PAGE 5
might be prof itable for 3ears or the property owner to add onto
the building and correct the situation.
Mr. Bushey stated there are a lot of lives involved, he and his
family included, and he is going to be trying very hard in the next
four years to make it work. But, right now, they do not know what
will happen in four years. In the meantime, Sears management is
also pursuing another Fridley location.
Mr. Betzold stated that maybe the Commission should deny the
special use permit, and that will force the issue with Sears.
Ms. Modig stated she did not agree. This is a business that has
been in Fridley for 20 years. If they deny the special use permit
and force the issue, they may lose Sears altogether. There are too
many vacant buildings in Fridley now. She would be in favor of
approving the special use permit with the stipulation that it be
reviewed in four years, and then maybe something more permanent can
be done at that time.
MOTION by Ms. Sherek, seconded by Ms. Modig, to recommend to City
Council approval of special use permit, SP #90-06, by Bob Bushey
of Sears Outlet, per Section 205.15.O1.D.(8) of the Fridley City
Code, to allow exterior storage of materials on Lot 1, Block 1,
Shorewood Plaza, generally located at 1000 East Moore Lake Drive
N.E., with the following stipulations:
1. There shall be�no more than one live and three dropped
trailers located at the rear of the Sears Outlet building
at any time.
2. The petitioner shall work with staff on appropriate
screening and landscaping and the appropriate location
for the screening at the west end of the building.
3. The special use permit shall be reviewed in four years
or sooner if the tenant leaves or any expansion of the
building is undertaken.

Ms. McPherson stated this property is located at 1000 East Moore
Lake Drive, at the corner of the intersection of East Moore Lake
Drive and Highway 65. The entire site is zoned G-3, General
Shopping, as is the Northwest Racquet and Swim Club to the east
and the old Shorewood Shopping Center to the north.
13X
gLANNING COI�II+I288ION l�IEETIN(�, l�AY 30. 1990 PAGE 2
Ms. McPherson stated the special use permit request is to allow the
outside storage of up to five semi-truck trailers at the rear of
the Sears Store. Mr. Robert Bushey, the Sears Outlet Manager, has
indicated to staff that the semi-truck trailers are an integral
part of his day-to-day operation.
Ms. McPherson stated that on October 26, 1989, Mr. Bushey signed
a building permit which stipulated that the trailers be removed on
or before November 1'7, 1989. Mr. Steven Barg, Code Enforcement
Officer, has been working with Mr. Bushey and Mr. George Applebaum,
owner of the parcel, on the removal of the trailers. Mr. Bushey
was given the option of either removing the trailers or applying
for a special use permit.
Ms. McPherson stated Section 205.15.07.D.(5) of the Fridley Zoning
Code requires that loading areas be screened from the public right-
of-way. As the zear of the Sears building can be seen from the
public right-of-way of Highway 65, the code requires that this area
be screened. However, since this area aiso serves as a parking
area and a drive-throuqh area for people accessing the site, there
is really no efficient way to screen this loading area from the
pub2ic right-of-way. The location and the way the trailers are
arranged on site make it difficult for drivers to negotiate along
the rear of the Sears buildinq.
Ms. McPherson stated another section of the zoning code, Section
205.15.07.D.(10), does allow for the overnight parking of motor
vehicles necessary to the operation of a principle use without
screening if they are not readily visible from a public right-of-
way. Again, this is not the case, because these trailers are very
visib2e from the public right-of-way; and the code would require
that this area be screened. These trailers are also parked
overnight consistently, not on a temporary basis.
Ms. McPherson stated that in addition to the code noncompliance
situation, the storage of these trailers is inconsistent with the
goals and objectives for Tax Increment District No. 2, within which
this parcel is located. One of the qoals of the tax increment
district is "to promote sound land use development procedures,
including area design standards, landscapznq, and lighting
standards, architectural review of new developments, and such
standards that may be developed that promte sound land resource
management". The existence af these storage trailers is
inconsistent with the surrounding area, as both the Shorewood
Shopping Center and the Sears building have recently received
facelifts through architectural refinements and outside
improvements. There is also the new shopping center to the east
and the racquetball club which are consistent with the
redevelopment standards for the district. The semi-truck trailers
are a direct contrast; an example of what the redevelopment
district strives to remove through the district's goals and
objectives.
13Y
pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. MAY 30. 1990 PAGE 3
Ms. McPherson stated that because of the high visibility of the
trailers from the pubic right-of-way and Shorewood Inn, the
negative impact on traffic, access, and parking, and no effective
method of screening, staff recommends that the Planning Commission
recommend denial of the special use permit request, SP �90-06, to
the City Council.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that if adequate screening was provided, would
the storaqe of the semi-truck trailers be an acceptable use on this
site in terms of the special use permit?
Ms. McPherson stated it would be an appropriate use if the loading
area is not seen from the public right-of-way. The other sections
of the zoning code do require that loading areas be limited to the
side and rear yards of businesses so that they will not be seen
from public right-of-ways.
Ms. Dacy stated staff would also want to seriously evaluate even
the construction of a fence in this area, because they want to
project a certain image and architectural styling in this
particular area. Staff could take the interpretation that a fence
could be just as offensive as the trailers.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that if fencing or screening could be
accommodated and was acceptable to staff, then, in effect, parking
would be reduced on site. If that happened, would this property
then be in noncompliance in terms of the required number of parking
spaces on site for this use?
Ms. Dacy stated she did not have that information available at this
time. Staff would have to check into that.
Mr. Saba stated this situation is similar to the Holiday Plus
store, and the only thing that separates the two situations is the
fact that the Holiday Plus store is not in a tax increment district
and does not have the special restrictions imposed on this
particular tax increment district.
Ms. Dacy stated that is correct. However, the City is also
evaluating the potential of a tax increment district along
University Avenue to include the Holiday Plus site. So, the goals

Mr. Bushey stated the Sears Outlet store Aas been in Fridley for
2o years. In those 20 years, they have paid over $1/2 million in
taxes. They spent over $700,000 in payroll last year, and a
majority of their employees come from the City of Fridley. This
is one of the most prof itable outlet stores in o�t of °�e Cityaof
chain. They couldn't do that without the supp
Fridley and the people of Fridley. It has to be a relationship
that works both ways.
Mr. Bushey stated that Sears is qoing throuqh some tramautic
changes right now. They are evolving from a very strong catalog
base to more retailing and other facets. As they make that change,
there are lot of things involved. The Sears Outlet organization
is liquidating its catalog problems. When he applied for the new
dock facility at the Sears Outlet store, he did it because their
business was qrowing and with the understanding that in this next
year they probably would not have quite as much merchandise to
liquidate because of the reduction of the catalog business. The
Minneapolis plant where they get most of their business was
supposed to close on January l, 1990, eo when he signed the
building permit in October, ft was his feeling at that time that
they would not have any problem in reaching the November deadline
for the removal of the trailers.
Mr. Bushey stated, however, that in the process, Sears found they
had to get the old merchandise out faster in order to get the new
merchandise in. That caused the Sears Outlet store to become
cverwhelmed with trailers. He stated that at this time, it does
not look like they will be able to do business without having those
trailers.
Mr. Bushey stated that, in the meantime, Sears is actively looking
at different locations, and one location is the old 100 Twin
property at Highway 65/T-694. More =ecently, they have been
looking at using the space across the street where the Hardware
Hank store was located until recently. The idea behind that is to
elim?na*_e some of the trailer backup. It costs them money to have
those trailers parked there, but trailers are also a very integral
part of their business. This space would be used for secondary
retail. They plan to use it for a catalog department and furniture
and appliances. This merchandise would be received at the original
outlet store and then anythinq that is to go across the street will
be loaded and unloaded, so that trailer will not stay.
Mr. Bushey stated they hope they can work something out. ile stated
the trailers do move faizly quickly; however, two trailers are
%� needed for extra storage and he hoped they can work something out
to keep those two trailers there. He stated they are willing to
do whatever landscaping or fencing that is required.

Mr. Bushey stated the Sears Outlet Btore is an important part of
this shopping center. They are working together as a qroup to make
it a healthy shopping center.
Ms. Sherek stated maybe Sears should consider building some
permanent storage space on site or moving to a larger site.
Mr. Bushey stated they were told by George Applebaum abaut 1 1/2
years ago that with the advent of the racquet club, they would not
be allowed to put additional selling square feet on this building,
because of the parking spaces required by the City. More recently,
Mr. Applebaum presented a proposal to Sears about adding warehouse
space.
Mr. Dahlberg stated the ratio of parking required for retail floor
area versus storage is so much different that the number of parking
spaces required for storage is going to be signficantly less than
the number of spaces required for retail sales floor. So, if
warehouse space was added onto the store, would that alleviate the
problem of having trailers stored on site, except for the one
coming and going?
Mr. Bushey stated that was a fair and accurate statement.
Mr. Dahlberg asked staff it was possible to add warehouse space
relative to site coverage, parking, etc., for this site.
Ms. Dacy stated that as far as parking spaces, she believed a
warehouse addition is possible.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that with the two trailers, that is 240 sq. ft.
in storage. A 1,000 sq. ft. addition of warehouse-type space could
be constructed at a fairly reasonable cost.
Mr. Dahlberg asked if Mr. Bushey had discussed this situation with
Shorewood Inn, and was there any objection to the trailers parked
there?
Mr. Bushey stated he could talk to them, but he thought any
problems could be worked out.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that if it is possible to put an addition onto
the building to aZleviate the need for the trailers parked on site,
then that should be pursued.

Mr. Saba stated they are looking at a situation that has been
created by the development district, and he did not think it is
fair to force the Sears Outlet store out of business because of a
development plan created by the City. Riqht now those trailers are
essential to the Sears Outlet business. He thouqht the Planning
Commission should be pat a $�'warehouselpl nh and to�see the effect
Mr. Bushey time to look
o� the expanded retail space across the street.
Ms. Savage stated that, on the other hand, Mr. Bushey knew that the
trailers were supposed to be removed by November 1989 and was put
on notice that if he couldn't, he should be considering some other
alternatives.
Mr. Saba stated he works in an industry that changes monthly. They
spend a lot of money on plans and make decisions with the best
informatian available at the time, and that is what Mr. Bushey did.
He did not think M eenBashood neighbor nand a good me chant in the
malice. Sears has b Q
City of Fridley for a long time.
Ms. Savage stated she agreed, but it just seems that Sears should
be looking at alhertrailers.raAnd r there does�appear t be some
allowed to keep t
alternatives.
Ms. Sherek stated she agreed with Mr. Saba. Mr. Bushey has moved
trailers off site, and he has tried to Iease additional retail
space. She aqreed that she did not like to look at those trailers;
but, on the other hand, there are a lot of w��segr rits a temporarY
of Fridley. She asked if there is a way
special use permit.
Ms. Dacy stated that if the Planning Commission recommends approval
of the special use permit, she would recommend that there be
specific timetables for accomplishments; or maybe this request
�::�::ld be tabled until Mr. Bushey has an oppertunity to look into
the possibility of a building addition.
Ms. Sherek stated she would like to see a proposal by Sears of what
is needed after the additional retail site across the street is
open and operating. She would definitely rather see a plan for an
addition for continued storage than the continued warehousing of
items in the trailers; and she would rather have those trailers sit
there another 3-6 months short-term while some long-term solution
is being discussed, than to put up fences for scr articularly when
not think a fence is the answer to the situation, p
dealing with truck trailers.
Mr. Dahlberg stated he would like the petitioner to discuss with
City staff the possibilities of an addition on this site taking

Ms. Sherek stated that if the Planning Commission recommends
approval, she would suggest that another stipulation be added that
the carport be removed upon completion of the construction of the
accessory building.
Ms. Boyle stated they are willing to comply with the restrictions
recommended by the staff and submit plans for approval when ey
are ready to start construction. She stated one thing the ave
a problem with is the 17 1/2 foot side yard setback. If t e City
forces them to build the accessory building 17 1/2 feet rom the
property line, then the building would be in the midd of their
back yard. That would not be aesthetically pleasi to them or
the neighborhood, and it would not be accessible the existing
driveway.
Mr. Betzold stated it is not possible for the lanning Commission
to give permission to go any closer than th 17 1/2 feet. If the
petitianer wished to build closer to the de propg rty line, eals
they would have to apply for a vari ce throu h the App
Commission. It is difficult for t Commission to make any
decision on this special use permit ithout plans and elevations
for them to look at.
Ms. Doyle stated the City sta has already told her how the
building should look, and she ' willing to comply with that. She
. just found out about the 1 1/2 foot side yard setback. She
thought the accessory build' g could be built 3-5 ft. from the back
neighbor's lot line, but o one had told her that she would have
to be so far from the s' e lot line.
Mr. Betzold asked M. Boyle if she needed more time to put her
plans together.
Ms. Boyle state she will definitely need more time, and staff will
need to show r how to deal with the 17 1/2 feet.

THE MG?TION CARRIED ONANZMODSLY.
Ms. McPherson stated staff inet with Mr. Bushey and Mr. George
Applebaum on June 6, 1990,�to discuss the alternatives to provide
additiona2 warehouse space for the Sears store. It was determined
that there is adequate space on the parcel to construct a 57 ft.
x 150 ft. addition along the south wall of the building. The
proposed addition would bring the lot coverage to the maximum of
40$ al2owed by the zoning code.
Ms. McPherson stated there are currently 133 parking spaces on the
site, and the addition would eliminate approximately 17 spaces; but
an additional five spaces could be constructed alonq the west wall
of the addition. There are cross parking,easements between Sears
and the old Shorewood shopping center across the street.
Currently, the Sears employees utilize the parking spaces directly
along the East Moore Lake Drive public right-of-way.
Ms. McPherson stated the building expansion would eliminate the
ability to drive around the building: however, trucks will still
be able to access the site from the east driveway and they will
drive through the parking lot and back up to the loading docks.
Ms. McPherson stated staff discussed this with the Fire Department
staff, and they indicated that because of the access through the
Shorewood Inn parking lot, the Fire Department would be able to
provide adequate fire protection for the rear of the building.
Ms. McPherson stated that in addition to the proposed expansion,
Sears is proposing to construct a second loading dock adjacent to
the existing loading dock. This would allow them to un2oad two
trucks simultaneously.
Ms. McPherson stated Mr. Applebaum is proposing to upgrade the
facade on the Sears store with a canopy similar to those canopies
on the new office building and the old shopping center.
Ms. McPherson stated the proposed expansion would screen the
loading activity as well as provide additional warehouse space and
will eliminate the need for the five dropped trailers. T�►c
trailers will still be necessary to accommodate daily deliveries.
These trucks will be adequately screened from the Hiqhway 65 right-
of-way by the building expansion itself.
Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends the Planning Commission
recommend approval of the special use penait request with the
following six stipulations:
13FF
PLANNING COMMISSZON MEETING, JQNE 20. 19°A PAGE 5
1. No more than five trailers at any time shaosedeaddition
to be stored until construction of the prop

2. Once the adt red at themloading do k re than two trailers

3. The warehouse expansion shall be architecturally
compatible with the existing building.
4. The area between the south wall of the expansionron=iate
south property line sha12 be landscaped with app P
materials (sod, trees, shrubs, mulch, etc.) in a manner
consistent with the remainder of the site. A landscaping
plan shali be submitted in conjunction with the building
permit application.
5. The 5 foot sidewalk on the west side of the exisosed
building shall be extended south in front of ths�p i P be
expansion, and appropriate landscaping
installed.
6. Any utilities located under the proposed expansion shall
be relocated.
Mr. Betzold stated one concern he had is that if it takes Sears a
long time to complete the expansion, the existing trailers could
be left at the rear of the building indefinitely. What can the
Commission do to make sure this expansion project moves forward in
a timely manner.
Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission could recommend adding a
time frame to stiM�latAonlebaum a are workingl t g therr�onusthis

Mr. Bushey stated they are having some difficulty in getting the
lease for the space across the street at 1099 East Moore Lake
Drive. They will be signing a one year lease with the idea of
looking at other possibilities, and expansion is one of those
possibilities. Sears is looking at a lot of different sites right
now, and the national manager has to approve the site. He should
know within six weeks whether the expansion at this site is
feasible. He stated that if the Commission wants a time
limitation, he can live with that; however, he would ask that he
be able to work with two e ro en n of the storeaacrosssthe streets

he should be able to get down to two trucks.

Central Avenues. The property s zoned M-1, Light Industrial, and
there is additional industri zoning to the south and west. The

Ms. McPherson stat d that in 1980, the petitioner was cited for
lack of appropria screening of outside of materials and equipment
as required b Code. Recently, Steven Barg, the City's Code
Enforcement O icer, has been working with Mr. Babinski to either

Dear Owner/Manager:
On October 26, 1989, you were issued a building permit (see
attached copy) ta construct a truck ramp into the store. One of
the permit's stipulations stated that all semi-trailers were to be
removed from the site by November 17, 1989.
A recent inspection revealed that numerous semi-trailers are still
being stored along the south and southeast portions of the
building. In addition to constituting a violation of this building
permit (#20177), this storage is clearly visible from the public
right-of-way and thus not permitted by the Fridley Zoning Code.
I will be reinspecting this site on or about April 4, 1990, at
which time full compliance is expected. Please call me at 572-3595
if you have questions or wish to discuss this further. Thanks for
your cooperation!

Dear Mr. Bushey:
Please review the attached letter which I sent to you on March 20,
1990, with respect to outside storage of trailers in violation of
Building Permit #20177 and the Fridley Zoning Code. Subsequently,
you contacted me and indicated an interest in applying for a

A reinspection on April 11, 1990, revealed that numerous trailers
are still being stored alonq the south and southeast portions of

application for a special use permit.
I will be conducting a final inspection on or shortly after April
30, 1990, at which time full compliance is expected. This
inspection will not be conducted if your special use permit
application has been received in our office prior to that date.
Should the deficiency still exist on the final inspection date and
no application has been submitted, legal action will be approved.
Please feel free to call me at 572-3595 if you have questions or

Variance Request, VAR #9�-23, by Moore Lake
Racquet, Swim, and Health Club
Attached is the staff report for the above-referenced request. The
Appeals Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
request to the City Council, with the 90 days starting at the date
of the variance application (August 17, 1990) and ending on
November 14, 1990.
Staff recommends that the City Council deny the variance request
as the four criteria outlined in Section 214.21.02.A - D of the
Sign Code for determining hardship and granting a variance were not
met.
l�
Steve Barg, the Code Enforcement Officer, has been working with the
petitioner to resolve the noise complaints about the facility's
HVAC units. The petitioner has hired a sound consultant, Midwest
Acoustics, to make recommendations to reduce the noise level. The
decibel level in the neighborhood was measured by staff at 9:30
p.m. on August 2, 1990. The reading indicated 55 - 57 db which
exceeds the ordinance maximum of 50 db at this hour of the day.
The consultant will be making a site visit on Thursday, October 11,
1990. An update will be presented to the City Council at the
meeting.

A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Sectioa 21d.I1.06.A states that portable signs may be
displayed for a period of 14 days after a permit is issued by
the City.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual
blight caused by large signs or excessive numbers of signs and
to avoid the permanent display of portable signs.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
"Applicant is the owner and operator of the Moore Lake Health
Club. Its principal method of advertising its facility is a
large banner attached to the building, visible from Highway
65.
"It requests permission to maintain this banner for a 90-day
period during its grand opening festivities and to clearly
identify the property for its members and potential members.
"The present Fridley sign ordinance limits such a banner to
a 14-day period, and the applicant requests a variance to
maintain this banner for 90 days."
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Request
Northwest Racquet, Swim & Health Club, the petitioner, is
requesting a variance to the temporary sign ordinance to a11ow
the display of temporary banners for 90 days. The temporary
sign ordinance allows temporary signs to be displayed for 14
days. The request is for Lot 1, Block 2, and Lot 2, Block 3,
Shorewood Plaza, the same being 1200 East Moore Lake Drive.
Site
The parcel is located on the northeast shore of Moore Lake.
The property is zoned C-3, General Shopping, as are the
parcels to the north and west. The parcels to the east and
south are zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling.
Analysis
Section 214.21.02 (A-D) outlines four conditions which must
be met prior to the grantirig of a sign variance:
14C
Staff Report
VAR #90-23, Northwest Racquet, Swim & Health Club
1200 East Moore Lake Drive
Page 3
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property or to the
intended use that do not apply generall.y to other
property in the same vicinity and district.
There are no exceptional or extraordinary circumstances that
apply to this property which are different than others in the
vicinity. Other properties which have the same zoning as the
subj ect property are subj ect to the same regulations set forth
in the temporary sign ordinance.
B. That the variance is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right
possessed by other property in the same vicinity and
district which is denied to the property in
question.
The health club has utilized the full complement of wall
signage allowed by code. In fact, a 297 square foot facility
logo adorns the southwest wall of the building which is
visible from Highway 65. In addition, there is an opportunity
for additional permanent signage on the pylon located at the
intersection of Highraay 65 and East Moore Lake Drive, which
the petitioner has utilized.
C. That the strict application of the Chapter would
constitute an unnecessary hardship.
Denia2 of the proposed variance request would not constitute
an undue hardship, as the petitioner is allowed to display
temporary signs for two 14-day periods per year.
D. That the granting of the variance would not be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
or general welfare to the property in the vicinity
or district in which the property is located.
The public purpose served by the Sign Ordinance and its
component parts is to control visual blight caused by large
signs or excessive numbers of signs. In addition, granting
the variance would allow the display of temporary signs which
do not conform to the architectural standards set forth for
the entire Moore Lake Commons development and which are
implemented through the comprehensive sign plan for the
development.

l. CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REOUEST VAR #90 23 BY NORTHWEST
RAC4UET, SWIM & HEALTH CLUBS:
Pursuant to Section 214.11.06.A of the Fridley City Code, to
increase the number of days a temporary banner may be
displayed from 14 days to 90 days, on Lot 1, Block 2, and Lot
2, Block 2, Shorewood Piaza, the same being 1200 East Moore
Lake Drive (Moore Lake Racquet, Swim & Health Club), Fridley,
Minnesota, 55432.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is the Northwest Racquet, Swim
& Health Clubs, and they are requesting a variance to allow
temporary siqns to be displayed for 90 days at their facility
located in the Moore Lake Commons development on the northeast
corner of Moore Lake. The property is zoned C-3, General Shoppinq,
as are the parcels to the north and west. To the east and south
is Single Family, R-1, zoninq. Section 214.22.02.A-D outlines four
conditions that need to be met before granting a siqn variance:
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circu�stances
applicable to the property or to the intended use that
do not apply generally to other property in the same
vicinity and district.
14F
liPPEALB CO1rIISI8BION IIEBTINa. SEPTBMBER 11, 1990 PAd$ 2
The property is similar to others in the vicinity and is
similarly zoned as adjacent parcels. The adjacent parcels
are subject to the same requirements of the temporary siqn
ordinance as the subject parcel.
8. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of a substantial property riqht possessed by
other property in the same vicinity and district which
is denied to the property in question.
The club has currently used their full complement of wall
signage allowed by Code. A 297 sq. ft. facility logo adorns
the wall of the facility which faces southwest and is highly
visible from Highway 65. There is also an opportunity to
replace the temporary banner that is now on the pylon at the
intersection of East Moore Lake Drive and Highway 65 with a
permanent sign on the pylon.
C. That the strict application of the Chapter would
constitute an unnecessary hardship.
Denial of the variance would not constitute an undue hardship
as the petitioner would be allowed to display temporary signs
for two 14-day periods. This applies to all commercial and
industrial zoned property in the City.
D. That the granting of the variance would not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, or general
welfare to the property in the vicinity or district in
which the property is located.
The public purpose of the sign ordinance is to control visual
blight caused by large or excessive numbers of signs. In
addition, granting the variance would allow the dispZay of
temporary signs which do not conform to the architectural
standards set forth for the entire development and which are
implemented through the Comprehensive Sign Plan as adopted by
the City Council.
Ms. McPherson stated that, in addition to the four conditions,
Section 214.06.05.B does allow display of signs for qrand opening
events but limits the display for ten days. By allowing the
display according to the temporary sign ordinance, which allows for
two 14-day periods, staff is makinq a more liberal interpretation
of the sign code.
Ms. McPherson stated that staff recommends denial of this variance
request as the petitioner has not met the above four conditions.
Ms. Smith asked if the health club currently had a variance for a
permanent wall siqn. _
14G
71PPSALB CO1�II�IISSION l�BTINa. BBPTBl+IBER 11. 1990 pAa$ 3
Ms. McPherson stated the siqns on the business do meet the
requirements of the sign ordinance. They are, however, very close
to the maximum allowed to be displayed on the buildinq.
Mr. Johnson asked if the temporary siqn could be displayed for two
consecutive 14-day periods, or up to 28 days.
Ms. McPherson stated that is correct. The City does allow display
of temporary siqns for two consecutive 14-day periods.
Mr. Kuechle asked if the health club was included in the variance
granted for the development.
Ms. McPherson stated that attached to the staff report is the
Shorewood Plaza sign variance staff report and minutes of the City
Council meeting. Ms. McPherson referred to the March 23, 1988,
memo. Under the Analysis, the second paragraph, ". .. The
proposed shopping center (Moore Lake Commons Eastj will be 54,000
sq. ft., for a total retail/office development of 114,000 sq. ft.
of development. As part of the stipulations pertaining to the sign
variance, the developers have aqreed to abide by the 80 sq. ft.
requirement for the proposed center, l�oore Lake Commons East. The
new pylon siqn would in effect serve as a monument for both the old
and new shopping centers as well as the racquet and health club."
To her that meant they could still potentially have 80 sq. ft. of
signage for the health club and office building. This option was
discussed with representatives of the health club before their
making an application for a variance.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Smith, to open the public
hearing.
IIPON li1 VOIC$ VOTE, l�LL VOTINQ 1�iYE, VICB-CHAIRPERBON 1CIIECHLB
DECLARED THB PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8510 P.l�i.
Mr. Strootman, Manager of Moore Lake Racquet, Swim & Health Club,
stated there were some good reasons why it would be helpful to have
the variance. The Moore Lake Club opened in July. That is not the
prime season for health clubs. The club was opened then because
they had qotten pressure from the local area and members. The
season really starts during this time of year, September and
October; and this is when they expect to see the real results of
whether the club is successful or not. This is not a retail type
of business. In a retail store, anyone feels welcome to walk in
and look around. A private club requirinq membership intimidates
people from cominq in to check it out. The banner with the phone
number helps get the initial requests and inquiries. Since the
club is not yet listed in the phone book, the phone numbers are
one of the best sources of initial contact with potential members.
Because it took a long time to qet the buildinq open, people are
used to the building not beinq open. These are the reasons why it
14H
�!►PPEALS COMI�ISSION MBBTIKa. 8$PTBPtH$R il. 1990 PAGB 4
would be very helpful to continue to display the banners. They
have gone throuqh the necessary expense to display a
professionally-done banner. It has a neat appearance and does not
discredit the area.
Dr. Vos asked when the 90 days would start and the 14-8ay period
end.
Ms. McPherson stated the Club now has a permit for display of the
signs. It has been staff's past practice to allow the display of
temporary signs while the variance is being processed. They will
continue to display the signs under the oriqinal permit. She is
assuming that the 90 days would then beqin, if the City Council so
chooses or it could begin when and if the Council approves the
sign.
Mr. Kuechle asked how long the siqns have been displayed.
Ms. McPherson state the permit was issued approximately three to
' four weeks ago. The City Council will consider this request on
October 1.
Mr. Kuechle stated that they are then through one 14-day period
now.
Dr. Vos stated that if one interprets that the 90-day period would
start after approval by the City Council, the sign would then be
displayed until approximately the first of the year.
Mr. Strootman stated is was his understanding that they could
display from the date the variance started. If it runs from the
date of application, this would be acceptable.
Ms. McPherson stated this wou].d then be retroactive from
approximately three to four weeks aqo.
Dr. Vos asked if there were two banners.
Mr. Strootman stated there was one on the sign and two on the
building.
Ms. McPherson stated the one permit covers a1I three siqris.
Dr. Vos asked if there were plans for a sign on the pylon.
Mr. Strootman stated he thouqht there would be permanent siqnage.
It will be displayed like the other members of the Moore Lake
businesses.
MOTION by Mr. Johnson, seconded by Ms. Smith, to close the public
hearing.

Dr. Vos stated he thouqht the requirements for temporary siqns are
quite strict. Fourteen days is not much opportunity for display.
iie did not think it was that easy to see this buildinq from Highway
65. The loqo can be seen, but not the building. He would not mind
seeinq a siqn for 90 or 60 days or whatever is left.
Ms. Smith stated the banner is tastefully done. She also thouqht
14 days was too short of a time period for somethinq of this
nature. For a club of that size, a siqn almost needs to be
displayed lonqer.
Mr. Johnson stated he basically felt the same way. The code is
quite strict. If there were any objections about the banner, they
would have heard them by now.
Ms. Smith stated she would feel better making this retroactive so
that the siqn would be taken down in mid-November.
Mr. Kuechle stated he concurred. He would also ask for a
stipulation that the 90 days begin with the date of application,
which would qive approximately 45 days of additional display time.
MOTION by Ms. Smith, seconded by Dr. Vos, to approve Variance
Request, VAR �90-23, by Northwest Racquet, Swim & Health Club to

RDGARDING: Shorewood Plaza Sic,p Varianc�e
BAQtGiaCAAD
On January 25, 1988 the Cbulcil reviewed a request by Shorewood Plaza Partners for
building setback varianves for the existing oenter and also for a pylon sic� area
vari�noe fran 80 square feet to 224 square feet. At that time the two variances
were separated. The building setback variance was approved and the signage
varianoe was tataled to allow staff to Fravide additional backgro�nd information for
Coi.ncil wnsideration.
Ci�rrently the develo�er's are working on renodeling the venter in orcier to make it
oonsistent with the design standards which are part of the Moore Lake Commons
master glan. In a�nj�nction with the proposed vacation of the service zoad and
redesi� of the garking lot for the existing center, it wi11 be necessary to
relocate the existing pylon sign. Relocation of the sigt would create a situation
whereby the legal stat�s gramed by the old varianoes would beaome obsole�te.
AN�I,YSIS
Attached for Cot.ncil review is a listing of variance activity for pylon sic�age
sinoe January 2, 1982 with additional information for pre-1982 non-conforming
sigis. Although there is no readily apparent o�nsistency to the varianoes granted,
it does appear that the Shorewood Plaza Shopping Center, due to its size and
highway location, is r�ot extrene. Flirther research � the �roperty file indicates
that the City Co�ncil approved the varianoes for the c�ld center to allaw a total of
343 square feet of pylon sic,�nage. �e developer is proposing a pylon sic� which
would include 224 square feet a� pylon sic�age lsee ill�stration). �is represents
rouc�ly a 35$ decrease fran the existing sign. In this week's Co�cil gacket is a
review of the Spring 1986 study of pylon signage and the proposed ordinance
revisicm which was tabled irx3ef ir�etly by Couzcil on Ji,ne 16, 1986.
�e existing shop�ing oenter Q�Ioore Lak�e Ca�anons West ) is 60,000 square f eet. The
proposed shopping center Q�loore Lake CoirQnons East) will be 54,000 square feet, for
a total retail/office developnent of 114,QQ0 square feet o� develoF,ment. As part
of the stipulations pertaining to the sic,� varianoe, the developers have agreed to
abide by the 80 square foot requirenent for the proposed center, Moore Lake Commons
East. �he new pylon sic� would in effec� serve as a monunent for both the oId and
new shopping venters as well as the raoquet and health c1ub.
In a�njtnction with the prano�ion of the City's urban design standards and the
reZated improveaents on University Avenue Corridor, the City may decide that
masonry gateway sicrage eleaents would be desirable at b�th the s�utheast �rner o�
Rioe Creek Raad and iiic�way 65 and at the southwest oorner � Rice Creek Road and
Old Central. Should this become a def inite proposal, staff would present this
o�noept to the City Co�cil at that time for their oonsic3eration.

af the existing shopping center is 6Q,000 square feet and the proposed
slx�pping center will be 54,000 square feet. He stated this 224 square foot
si� would� in effect, sezve as a monim:ent for both the existing and new
si�apping oenters as we].1 as the rdcquet and i�ealth club.
Mr. R,obertscn stated the Plarzning Carm,issic� reviewed this request for the
varia�ce and has reca�mtiended apprwal to which staf f oancurs.

it would involve 304 sq��e feet of si�age. Ke asked abwt signag�e for the
health c2ub.
Mr. Applebaun, the petitics�er, stated as far as ihe racquetball club, he has
not seen any prr�posal to use a pylrm si�.
Cetmcilman Schneider statec2 other shapping oenters have less signacJe such as
Holly Shoping Center with 130 square feet, Bob's Produce with 165 square
feet and Me�ard's with 180 square feet.
Nr. Applehatan stated that in c�der to get tenants to move away fran the main
highway, they need this ex�osure. He state� the 80 square feet allowed for
a pylari si� is tied to one tenant and they will have mariy more in this
shapping area. He stated Ho21y Shopping Center is located right on Che
highwzy and they don't permit signage by their tenants because of the
hic�naay visibility.
Cb�cilman Schneider stated staff was requested to pravide infoimation
regarding the size of si�s pernutted in adjoining amnunities. Ke stated
the average maxim�an is arrnmd 200 square feet. i�e asked Mr. APPlebaun if it

wasn't discussed only that they wovlchi't request any variar�ces. ,,
(b�mcilman Billings stated he agrees with Mr. Applebaun. He stated if you
had 12 seprarate stores in this area, each aaned separately, thEy could each
have an 80 square foot sign. He stated sir�ce this is rx�t the case and it is
a st►apping center, he felt a r�eed ta look at the circurstaryces.
Cblmcilman Billings stated he respects Cbiu�cilman Schneider' s opinion that
if the Cotmcil grants ane variance, they have to give others. He stated
when the Planning Ctnmission recc�nme.rx�'d allvwing a oertain rnmber of squaf�e
feet of si�nage based ai ti�e square footage of the area ta be served, the
Cbla�ciZ wanted to review each cn its own merits.
Cbta�cil�n Fitzpat,rick stated he d.id mt know where the line has to be drawn

SIIBJECT: 1991 Contract/City-Wide Curbside Collection of
Recyclables
As per Council direction, staff inet with Super Cycle Vice
President, Nancy Healey, to negotiate the 1991 contract for City-
Wide Curbside Collection of Recyclables. This meeting occurred on
September 12, 1990.
Our current 1990 contract allows for the twice a month collection
at curbside of cans, glass, newspaper, and corrugated cardboard
for $84 per ton. Estimated annual cost is $77,616 for 1990.
Current participation is 39�.
Super Cycle has proposed a rate of $75 per ton for the 1991
contract period. This rate allows for twice-a-month collection at
curbside of cans, glass, newspaper and corrugated cardboard, and
the printing and artwork for 7,661 pieces of a new program
brochure. Estimated annual cost is $106,267 for 1991. This
estimate assumes a 70� participation rate which is likely with the
addition of curbside containers to the program.
The rate of $�5 per ton is lower than any tonnage rate currently
charged to all other Super Cycle clients. These clients include
the City of Roseville, Shorewood, and St. Paul. These cities are
currently charged between $85-$88 per ton.
This rate is lower per household at 72 cents than any of the
communities served in Anoka County, where the charge for recycling
runs between $1.00-2.75 per month. The average per ton payment in
Hennepin County for collection only is $75 per ton. This average
does not include artwork and printing costs for a brochure as Super
Cycle has proposed.

Super Cycle's proposal also includes per ton payment rates for the
inclusion of magazines and/or plastics. To include magazines, the
charge would be $77 per ton with a$10 surcharge on each ton of
glossy. Staff estimates the annual contract cost under this
approach would be $Z39,565. This estimate assumes 70�
participation and a greater number of pounds per participating
household. The estimated additional cost of incZuding glossies is
$33,397 annually.
Attached, please find a
consideration. The text

Recommendation
copy of the 1991 contract for your
of this contract other that the payment
of the program brochure is exactly the
contract.
Staff recommends Council act to approve the contract with Super
Cycle, Inc., for $75 per ton payment with acceptable materials to
include cans, glass, newspaper, and corrugated cardboard and
printing and artwork cost for a program brochure to be paid for by
Super Cycle. Based on prohibitively high costs staff does not
recommend Council include glossies or plastics as acceptable
materials.

RE: Diseased Trees
DATE: October 8, 1990
Following the City Council meeting of September 17, 1990, I brought
up the subject of calls regarding diseased trees by persons other
than the owner of the property on which said trees were located.
At that time both Mayor Nee and Councilmember Schneider
emphatically stated that it was our expressed policy, and the
reason for changing our ordinance a year ago, that we DO NOT
respond to calls from other than the property owner.
Although this is contrary to my recollection, I have gone ahead and
stated this policy to people when they call me regarding oak wilt
in a neighbor's yard.
Now then comes a memo from staff indicating that we have changed
the policy. This apparently is the fourth change in policy in the
past eighteen months.
I would request that you obtain a written opinion from legal
counsel regarding the relationship of our most current policy and
the state law that requires keeping the names of complainants on
property matters confidential.
I would further request that you place an item on the agenda for
the City Council meeting of October 15, 1990, to discuss the above
policy and to have the policy set by the City Council. Hopefully,
in that way, it will not change as frequently as it has in the
past.

RE: Diseased Trees
This memorandum is in response to a memorandum from Councilman
Billings to the City Manager regarding diseased trees. Mr.
Billings memo is dated October 8, 1990.
In the memorandum Mr. Billings makes reference to the City's
policy on handling complaints regarding diseased trees.
Specifically, he requests an opinion from legal counsel regarding
the question of whether the current policy and the state law
relating to divulging the names of complainants on property
matters are inconsistent.
Minnesota Statute §13.44 states that: "The identities of
individuals who register complaints with state agencies or
political subdivisions concerning violations of state laws or
local ordinances concerning the use of real property are
classified as confidential data." It is my opinion that a
complaint about a diseased tree on property within the City would
be considered a complaint concerning the use of real property
within the meaning of the above State Statute.
It appears that the City Staff has adopted a policy that they
will respond to complaints about diseased trees provided that the
person who is complaining identifies himself or herself.
Conversely, the City policy is that they will not respond to
complaints from anonymous callers. Mr. Billings raises a
question as to whether the City's policy is inconsistent with the
State Statute.
It is my opinion that the City Policy and the State Statute are
not inherently in conflict. My interpretation of the State
Statute is that the City cannot reveal the name of the
complaining party to the property owner who is the subject of
that data. It would be a clear violation of the statute if, after

receiving the complaint, a City employee were to go to the
property that contains the diseased tree and make a statement to
the effect that Mr. Smith registered a complaint regarding your
diseased tree. The City administration should instruct all City
employees that have access to data regarding violations of local
ordinances relating to the use of real property that the names of
the complaining parties are strictly confidential and cannot be
revealed to anyone other than other employees or officials of the
City that are necessary in order to investigate and correct, if
necessary, the complaint.

In discussinq the referenced memo with the City Manager, it has

a diseased tree in which the caller identifies himself. Based upon
that call, an initiation of a complaint within our reporting system
will be made and action will be initiated to schedule an inspection
and an appropriate markinq of the trees.
This procedure does not apply to anonymous phone calls. If a
person will not give us a name or phone number where they can be
contacted, we will not take any action to respond.
Please disseminate this policy to your staff.

8IIB.7SCTs Diseased Tree Policy
Manaqer
Worke Dfrector
P'W90-372
Last year when we rewrote the Diseased Tree Ordinance, we
established an internal policy for dealinq with diseased tree
complaints. Accordinqly, we started out the year respondinq to any
complaint received by the Public Works from any citizen.
As we were implementing the complaint reportinq system, we started
receiving a number of anonymous telephone calls reqardinq diseased
trees. As a result, we modified the policy to respond to only the
property owner's request for identification of diseased trees.
It appears that there is some confusion regardinq the diseased tree
issue. In order to standardize the process and to provide the best
response and service, I will initiate a proqram, unless the Council
desires otherwise, that we respond to any complaint received from
a person who identifies himself. This process should eliminate
neighborhood squabbles and also provide for a means of eliminating
diseased trees from the City.
If you concur, please let me know so that we may disseminate this
infonaation to Ralph Volkman.

For the past two months, we have been getting numerous reports of diseased
trees on private property from anonymous callers. These people refuse to
give their names, and we are reporting them on Request for Service forms
as stated. •
This may be a problem, because the Council stated they did not want us to
inspect trees on our own without a complaint from a citizen. An anonymous
call could be interpreted as self-generating.
I request guidance in the handling of these types of calls.

Trollhagen Drive Petition Signers
Dear
The City of Fridley would like to respond to the petition for the
placement of stop signs at two locations on Trollhagen Drive.
Although we sympathize with the problem of speeding automobile
traffic on Trollhagen Drive, we also recognize that none of the
normal guidelines provided by the State of Minnesota for the
placement of stop signs were met in this particular instance.
Also, there was a great deal of difference of opinion among the
neighborhood residents as to whether ar not the stop signs should
be placed at the two locations. In view of these factors, it is
the City Council's decision to deny the placement of additional
stop signs on Trollhagen Drive.
As an alternative, we have placed siqns on either side of the curve
at Trollhagen Drive and St. Moritz Drive. The signs advise (but
do not require) motorists to travel at a speed limit of 20 miles

Dear Commissioner Erhart:
At the October 1, 1990, meeting of the Fridley City Council, Mayor
Elwyn Tinklenberg of the City of Blaine requested that we concur
with the Transit Board's plans to institute a shared ride program
for Fridley residents.
It was understood that the shared ride proqram would be an
extension of Columbia Heights' shared ride taxi service, and that
it would provide dial-a-ride service for Fridley residents within
the cities of Fridley, Columbia Heiqhts, and Hilltop. If Fridley
residents wished to use this service for other Anoka County points
of destination, they would need to arrange to meet the Anoka County
Traveler at an agreed upon coordination point. Neither the shared
ride taxi service nor the Anoka County Traveler, however, would
provide dial-a-ride service for destination points outside Anoka
County.
In response to the proposed dial-a-ride proqram, the Fridley City
Council extends its qualified support. While we remain discontent
that there is a dual system for dial-a-ride service in different
parts of Anoka County, we recoqnize the importance of implementing
this program as quickly as possible with the money that is
available. There is also some sentiment an the City Council for
a dial-a-ride program that is coordinated with similar programs in
iiennepin and Ramsey Counties.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing for Declaring Portions of Lots
1, 2 and all of Lot 3, Block 1, Central View
Manor as Excess Property
At the September 12, 1990 meeting, the Planning Commission conducted a
public hearing for the rezoning and special use permit applications
for the proposed Fridley Auto Mall by A1 Schrader. In recommending
approval of both the rezoning and special use permit, the Planning
Commission understood that part of the project would include
approximately 18,500 square feet of City land if the Cublic�hearin
declared the land to be surplus after conducting the p 9•
The process would require the City Council to transfer the land to
the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority which then could
negotiate a sale to the developer. By this method, the land would
not have to be reconveyed to the State (see attached memo from Virgil
Herrick dated 5eptember 1�, 1990). �
Staff recommends that:
1. The City Council adopt a resolution declaring that the subject
property is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was acquired
and recommending that the property be conveyed to the Fridley Housing
and Redevelopment Authority for purposes of assisting and improving
the redevelopment of TIF District 9. That the legal description of
the subject property is as follows:
All of Lot 3 and that part of Lots 1 and 2, Block 1,
Central View Manor lying northeasterly of the following
described line: Beginning at a point on the east line
of Lot 2 distant 59.50 feet north of the southeast
corner of said Lot 2; thence northwesterly to a point
on the west line of said Lot 2, said point being 67.56
feet south of the northwest corner of said Lot 2; thence
northwesterly to a point on the north line of Lot 1,
said last point being 19.00 feet west of the northeast
corner of said Lot 1 and there terminating. Generally
located at 73 1/2 Avenue and T.H. 65, Anoka County,
Minnesota.
2. That a copy of the resolution be forwarded to the Anoka County
Commissioners requesting that they approve the change in use of the
subject property and upon approving the change that an application be
sent to the Commissioner of Revenue requesting approval of the change
in use of the subject property.
21A
3. That upon obtaining approval of Anoka County and the Commissioner
of Revenue, that the City Council adopt an ordinance, as required by
City Charter, declaring the property surplus and after the ordinance
is in effect, deed the property from the City of Fridley to the
Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority.

Purchase Agreement for Aighway 65 Property Owned by
the City of Fridley
This memorandum is in response to your memo dated August 31, 1990
regarding the above subject. I have reviewed the memorandum and
the attached Purchase Agreement. I have also discussed this
property with Clyde Moravetz and Barb Dacy.
The City of Fridley acquired title to Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1,
Central View Manor, by three separate deeds conveyinq forfeited
property. These deeds ran from the State of Minnesota to the
City. One of the deeds is dated June 4, 1982 and the other deeds
are dated June 11, 1982. The conveyance was made subject to the
provisions of Minnesota Statutes Sections 282.01 to 282.12.
Minnesota Statute 282.01 provides in part as follows: "Any tax-
forfeited lands may be sold by the County Hoard to any
governmental subdivision for any public purpose for which such
subdivision is authorized to acquire property. The Commissioner
of Revenue may convey by deed any tract of tax-forfeited land
held in trust to any governmental subdivision for any authorized
public purpose, provided that an application shall be submitted
to the Commissioner with a statement of facts as to the use to be
made of such tract. The Deed of Conveyance shall be conditioned
upon the continued use of the property for the stated purpose.
If the governinq body of the subdivision by resolution determines
that some other public use shall be made of such lands, and such
chanqe of use is approved by the County Board, an application for
such change of use shall be made to the Commissioner.•
The statute provides that whenever the govErnment subdivision
ceases to use the property for the authorized public use, the
municipality shall execute a deed conveyinq the property back to
the Commissioner. There is, however, an exception which provides
that if a sale or transfer of such lands is made by a housinq and
redevelopment authority, such lands shall not be reconveyed to
the State and shall not revert to the State.

Memo to Bill Burns
September�l8, 1990
Page 2
I would recommend that if the City of Fridley wishes to sell this
property to the adjacent property owner for the purpose of
assistinq in the redevelopment of that owner's property, an
application should be made to the Anoka County Board requesting
that a change be made in the use of the surplus property. The
new use should be that the property will be used by the Fridley
Housing and Redevelopment Authority as part of the redevelopment
of the district of which the surplus proper�y is a part of that
district. If the chanqe in use is approved by the County and the
Commissioner of Revenue, then, as I interpret Minnesota Statute
282.01, the Housing and Redevelopment Authority could sell this
property without having to reconvey it to the State and the right
of reversion to the State would cease to exist.
In addition to the
would be necessary
Pa=tY�
steps outlined above, the followinq action
in order to convey this property to a third
1. A survey would be necessary to determine the boundary
lines and legal description of the surplus property. It is my
understanding that the Public Works Department has completed this
survey.
2. The Purchase Agreement between A.L.S. Properties and the
City of Fridley or the Fridley HRA should be aqreed upon and
executed.
3. An Abstract will have to be ordered, the expense of which
will need to be paid by the City or the HRA, so that the buyer
can determine that the City or the HRA has good title to the
property.
4. The City will have to pass an ordinance declarinq the
property as surplus. In doinq this the no�ice should use the
legal description as provided by the survey. This ordinance will
require two readinqs and publication.
5. A lot split will be needed in order to convey'portions of
the lots to the prospective buyer.
In order to complete the transfer of property, it would appear
that a substantial amount of time will elapse. The first step
should be to determine whether the council.wishes to pursue this
transfer. If so, I believe that priority should be qiven to
reachinq an agreement on the Purchase Agreement and getting that
executed. Once that step has been taken, we can proceed with the
other requirements.

Commons Park Monitoring We12s
At the July 23, 1990, City Council meeting, Keys Well Drilling
Company was awarded the contract to construct the monitoring well
at Commons Park for a total cost of $9,910.00.
Based on recommendations from Bruce A. Liesch Associates, Keys Well
Drilling had to drill an additional 67 feet beyond the original
estimate of 225 feet to reach the aquifer in question. Also an
additional 14.5 hours of well development was required. These
additional costs amounted to $2,249.00 for a final contract cost
of $12,159.00. (See attached Bruce A. Liesch Associates letter and
recommendation.)
The total costs are still within the identified 1990 fund amount
of $25,000.00 for'this project.
Recommend the City Council approve Change Order No. 1 for $2,249.00

Re: Keys Well Drilling Invoice
Dear Mr. F'lora,
22-1 C
Enclosed please find the invoice dated August 31, 1990 which we received from Keys Well
Drilling Company for the monitoring well installations at Commans Park. We have
reviewed this invoice before forwarding it to you. The unit prices used in the Keys billing
are consistent with the unit prices for the items listed on our original Quote Tabulation
Sheet and Purchase Order #� 5810. The total base quote of $ 9,910.00 is exceeded in the
Keys invoice by � 2,249.00. This is partially the result of boreholes that exceeded in
depth the estimate listed on the Quote Tabulation Sheet. We drilled a total additional
footage of 6? feet beyond the original estimate of 225 feet. lt is not possible to predict
in advance the exact subsurface geologic conditions that will be encountered with drilling
and well conswction. This applies to development procedures as well which required
development time beyond the original estimate. An additional 14.5 hours of well
development by Keys was necessary to properly complete the monitoring wells using
standard techniques (surging, jetting and pumping). We feel these additional costs were
warranted.
After you have reviewed this invoice. please do not hesitate to contact Mike McMurtry
or Jim de Lambert with any comments or questions you may have. Please make payment
for the Keys invoice to Bruce A. Liesch Associates so that we may compensate the
subcontractor for his services.
