RESOLUTION NO. 30-1990 AUTHORIZING SIGNING AN AGREEMENT FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES REPRESENTED SY INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING ENGINEERS. LOCAL NO. 49, AFL-CIO (PUBLIC WORKS MAINTENANCEI FOR 1990: Mr. Hunt, Assistant to the City Manager, stated last week the Public Works Maintenance Personnel approved the draft of the labor agreement for 1990 and it is now submitted for Council's approval. He stated there are a number of items about this particular contract which are rather new in this area. He stated the new agreement establishes a single classification of Public Services Worker to replace the previous Maintenance I, II, and III classifications and also establishes a Mechanics classification. He stated, basically, in order to reach the top, future Public Service Workers and Mechanics will need to have the equivalent of one year of technical college course work plus the highest appropriate certification in their respective fields. Mr. Hunt stated this eliminates the two tier system where public works maintenance workers were working together on the same task and being paid at different salaries. He stated the agreement also provides for a probationary period of one year, rather than six � months. Mr. Hunt stated for the last several years, the public works maintenance employees have received a smaller increase on their base in addition to lump sum payments. He stated because of this, the new contract is estimated to cost the City no more than 3.25 percent over the cost for last year, even though every employee receives at least a 4 percent increase on the base. Mr. Hunt stated he thought Fridley will be one of the first to establish a performance and career track base for public works employees. Councilwoman Jorgenson requested clarification of Article XII, Section 12.2 in reference to legal defense of the employee. Mr. Hunt stated this section would provide legal defense within the scope of an employee's employment, but does not mean the City would pay for negligent acts by public employees. He stated the key sentence is "when such act is performed in good faith and under direct order of the employee's supervisor." MOTION by Councilman Sillings to adopt Resolution No. 30-1900. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. � FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 7, 1990 PAGE 5 ' 4.

Ms. Dacy stated a home now exists on this parcel with access from Central Avenue. She stated the petitioner is proposing to create a separate lot that abuts Woody Lane to construct a new home on this parcel. She stated the proposed parcel is higher in elevation than the existing home. Ms. �acy stated the petitioner submitted a plan to show how run- off would be handled. She stated a swale would be oonstructed along the south property line and eventually directed to Central Avenue. Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission recommended approval of this lot split with five stipulations and amended stipulation No. 3. She stated staff is recommendinq denial of the lot split as the new lot line would create a non-conforming rear setback between the existing structure and lot line. She stated the Planning Commission acicnowledged this non-conforming setback, but felt the request should be granted as the topography is so different. Councilman Schneider had a concern about the alignment of the new home and questioned if property owners to the north and south were notified of this request. Ms. Dacy stated these property owners were notified. She stated the property owners to the north would be able to see the side of this new home and those to the south would be looking at the side of the yard and there are a number of trees along this south lot line. Councilman Schneider asked the petitioner, Mr. Hanson, if he has spoken to his neighbors about this request. Mr. Hanson stated he has contacted all the neighbors that abut the property and those across tha street and none of them had anp objections. He stated the existing home and new home would be separated by about sixty feet. Councilman Schneider stated his only concern is the alignment of the homes and if this would be totally out of line. Mr. Hanson stated he had the same concern, but has had absolutely no negative comments from those whom he contacted.

VARIANCE REQUEST, VAR #90-07, TO REDUCE THE REQUIRED SETBACK FROM A RIGHT-OF-WAY ABUTTING A RESIDENTIAL ➢ISTRICT FROM 1�0 FEE TO 37 FEET AND 41.9 FEET• AND TO REDUCE THE SETBACK BETWEEN A PARKING AREA AND A MAIN BUILDING FROM 5 FEET TO 0 FEET, TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF ADDITIONAL OFFICE SPACE IN CONJUNCTION WITH A GENERAL OVERALL BUILDING EXPANSION PROJECT, ON LOTS 2 THROUGH 10. BLOCK 6, RICE CREEK PLAZA SOUTH ADDITION, AND LOT 20, BLOCK 5, LOWELL ADDITiON, THE SAME BEING � 6536 MAIN STREET N.E., BY 5TYLMARK, INC.: Ms. Dacy, Planning Coordinator, stated this a request for two variances for property located to the west of Main Street and north of Mississippi Street. She stated the property is zoned M-1 with R-1 and R-3 property to the east. Ms. Dacy stated one variance is to reduce the one hundred foot front yard setback to allow construction of a 60 by 96 foot addition onto the existing building. She stated the proposed encroachment would be 41.9 feet and, at one point, the request is to go to 37 feet for an architectural feature around the entry into the offices. She stated the other variance is to reduce the required five foot separation between a parking area and the wall of the building to zero ieet. Ms. Dacy stated the petitioner is proposing to add a receiving area, an office area, and to extend their shipping and manufacturing area. Ms. Dacy stated the Appeals Commission recommended approval of both the variances with six stipulations for the front yard variance and one stipulation on the variance pertaining to the separation of the wall and parking area. She stated some concerns were traffic, the issue of property values, and the company's ability to expand in � the future. FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 7, 1990 PAGE 8 � Ms. Dacy stated the City Assessor was contacted regarding the property value issue and he advised that the current value of the homes along Main Street already reflect the existence of the industrial zoning. She stated the Assessor advised he had no plans to change the values as a result of this proposed expansion. Ms. Dacy stated in regard to any expansion of Stylmark's facility, lot coverage requirements have to be met, property reserved for parking if additional parking was required, and a permit needed from the Rice Creek Watershed District regarding storm water management. She felt the Watershed District may require an on-site retention pond. Ms. Dacy stated the neighborhood requested traffic counts of this intersection at 2nd and Mississippi Streets. She stated these traffic counts were done last Wednesday and this afternoon. She stated the best time to obtain these counts was between 3:30 and 5:30 p.m. at the peak periods. She stated the traffic count involved three different traffic movements; neighborhood traffic using 2nd Street; traffic that enters on 2nd Street and uses the frontage road to go onto Main Street; and traffic from the Fridley Bus Compeny which uses 2nd Street and the frontage road. Ms. Dacy stated neighborhood traffic peaks around 5 p.m. were about � 35 cars. She stated the Stylmark traffic or traffic attributable to Main Street had 51 cars leaving at 5 p.m. within a five minute time period. She stated the Fridley Bus Company traffic peaks at 4:30 p.m. and gradually declines to 4:45 p.m. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated this intersection has been discussed many times in conjunction with development plans for the southwest quadrant o£ University and Mississippi. He stated with no concrete plans, the problem has not been dealt with at this time. Mr. Brink, the petitioner, stated more office space is needed for their present employees and their plans did not involve hiring more employees. He stated their plan is to install underground parking and over sixty percent of the asphalt would be removed. Mr. Brink stated all the shipping will be moved from the north to the west and the entire north addition will have underground parkinq. Iie stated the entry and exit onto Main Street will also be moved further to the north. Mr. Wintersteen, 6661 Main Street, felt Stylmark is going too far with this expansion. He stated he did not object to the other variances, but the park and playground is directly across the street from where the traffic will exit from the underground parking garage. He stated the other exit will be near the apartment complex. He felt Stylmark should not be allowed to � install an underground parking facility. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 7, 1990 PAGE 9 � Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he believed the residents' frustration is with the traffic and it is unfortunate this problem has not been solved. Ms. Dacy stated the petitioner indicated he would be willing to limit access and exit from the west side or from the service road. Mr. Brink stated factory workers could access from the back and the parking in front could be used by office workers and visitors. He stated with construction of an underground parking ramp, the parking in front will actually be reduced. Mr. Wintersteen stated he did not want any traffic coming onto Main Street. Councilman Schneider stated there are now 35 parking spaces and these vehicles access onto Main Street and after the construction, there would be less parking spaoes in the £ront. Councilman Billings asked Mr. Wintersteen if he had a problem with the expansion or with the underground parking. Mr. Wintersteen stated he just did not want all the traffic on Main Street as they would be exiting by some resident's driveway. � Councilman Billings stated the question before the Council is not the construction of the warehouse with underground parking, but whether to allow a variance to expand the office space. Mr. Gary Martel stated he lives across the street and has no problem with the factory. He stated he understands Mr. Brink is just trying to move his parking underground and it would not change the traffic flow. Mr. Rohan, 6705 Main Street, stated the flow of traffic would change because the exits would be further down the block. He stated he was also concerned about the drainage pond and if it would be fenced. Mr. Brink stated his contractor is working with the Rice Creek Watershed District and the City on this issue and they would comply with whatever requirements were necessary. Mr. Rohan felt a pond is a hazard for children in the area. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated he has not seen the plan for the detention pond, but they are not usually fenced. He stated the purpose of the pond is to receive rain water to be held for a � short period of time. He stated these ponds are usually dry within four to six hours after a rainstorm. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 7. 199D PAGE 10 � Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated often this retention pond consists of part of the green area that could hold six to twelve inches of water for a short period of time or a depression in the parking lot to allow a few inches of water to stand. He stated they are not talking about a biq or deep pond. Mr. Rohan stated i£ a pond is necessary, he would like to be notified so he knows what is going to be done. Mr. Brink stated he hoped to have a plan by the end of the week for review by City staff and then to be submitted to the Rice Creek Watershed District. Councilman Billings asked Mr. Rohan if he was opposed to the expansion of the office space. Mr. Rohan stated at this time, he was opposed. Councilman Billings stated if the variance is not approved, Mr. Brink could still build the warehouse facility and install the driveways as shown on the plan. Councilman Billings asked Mr. Rohan if he felt the expansion of the office space would create additional traffic in the neighborhood. � Mr. Rohan stated there would be new employees and more cars and it seems no consideration was given to the traffic. He felt this issue has to be addressed. Councilman Fitzpatrick stated the real problem is the traffic, but felt the variance request would not affect the traffic situation. He stated there are a lot of problems associated with Mississippi Street and the southwest quadrant and he sympathizes with the residents regarding the traffic problem. Mr. Bruce Lundberg, 230 Rice Creek Terrace, stated he had no objections to the variance. He stated he is concerned with the traffic and the bottleneck at 2nd Street. He urged the Council to try and find a solution to the problem at this intersection. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to grant that portion of variance request, VAR #90-07, to reduce the required setback from a right- of-way abutting a residential district from 100 feet to 37 feet and 41.9 feet, with the following stipulations: (1) the petitioner shall submit drainage calculations and a grading and drainage plan prior to the issuance o£ a building permit. If necessary, the petitioner shall receive a permit from the Rice Creek Watershed District prior to issuance of a building permit; (2) the new parking area along Main Street shall be lined with concrete curb; ' (3) the building additions shall be handicapped accessible; (4) the petitioner shall review with the Fire and Building Inspectors the required fire protection sprinkler systems and comply with their FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 7. 1990 PAGE 11 � requirements; (5) the petitioner shall submit a landscaping plan indicating a continuous 3 foot screen between the parking area and Main Street; and (6) adequate area to the north of the addition shall be reserved for a 27 car parking area. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to deny that portion of variance request, VAR #90-07, to reduce the setback between a parking area and a main building from 5 feet to 0 feet. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Mr. Brink stated the reason for the five foot berm is to keep the cars from hitting the building. He stated he would like to have something less than five feet in order to have two lanes of parking. Ms. Dacy stated the driving aisle is about twenty feet wide and the code only requires eighteen feet. Councilman Fitzpatrick felt there was some solution that could be worked out. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and � Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 6.

He stated they would like the burnished block to be more of a wood color to match the beams in the structure.
