EXTERIOR STORAGE OF MATERIALS ON LOTS 1 THROUGH 20. CENTRAL
AVENUE ADDITION, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 1290 73RD AVENUE N.E.
LDENIED 12/17/901:
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to reconsider Special Use Permit,
SP #90-08, by John Babinski. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously.
Ms. Daay, Community Development Director, stated that this parcel
� is located in the southwest corner of 73rd Avenue and Old Central
and is zoned M-1 and surrounded by industrial zoning. She stated
that the request for a special use permit was initiated as a result
of the City's code enforcement efforts in that area. She stated
that there was an old school bus and other large vehicles parked
in front of the building, the rear yard storage area was not
screened, and a number of violations to the City's exterior storage
requirements existed.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval
of this special use permit with five stipulations. She stated that
the Planning Commission was very adamant in that they wanted the
petitioner to clean the site as much as possible prior to the
Council's consideration of this special use permit. She stated
that staff was concerned if there were any materials stored that
are not related to the business. Ms. Dacy stated that the
petitioner has indicated there are two vehicles which eventually
may be removed to another site. She stated that the materials
stored in the chain link fence area are exceeding the allowable
height, and the petitioner was advised that they should conform to
the code requirement.
Ms. Dacy reviewed the five stipulations recommended by the Planning
Commission and stated the petitioner has complied with two
stipulations pertaining to re-slatting of the existing storage
� fence and installation of the eight foot fence and boulevard trees.
She stated staff's recommendation is that the special use permit
be approved, without Stipulations 3 and 4, as the petitioner has
�
�
�
��S
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL M88TING OF JANQARY 7, 1991 PAGS 4
already complied, and to add to Stipulation 1 that the height of
the materials stored in the storage area be kept below the height
of the fence.
Ms. Dacy presented photos of the site showing how it has been
screened and cleaned up since this spring. She stated that another
item which may continue to be a problem is the dumpster.
Councilman Schneider asked if the dumpster is usually outside.
Mr. Kraemer, representing the petitioner, Mr. Babinski, stated that
about half the time the dumpster is inside the building.
Mr. Kraemer stated that he wished to apologize for the
misunderstanding for not appearing at the Council's last meeting.
He stated that it was felt since they complied with the Planninq
Commission recommendations, it was not necessary for them to attend
the Council meeting.
Mr. Kraemer stated that at the last Council meeting there was
discussion about snow plowing and that their trucks were out in the
street. He stated that at no time were their trucks in the street
hindering the snow plows. He stated that they have not moved any
trucks outside their area since November.
Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Kraemer why it was necessary to keep
two vehicles in the front parking lot.
Mr. Kraemer stated that they have a vandalism problem, and they
have had the police there three times within the last month.
Mayor Nee asked if the back area was fenced.
Mr. Kraemer stated that the area where they keep their flat bed
trucks is not fenced, and it probably would not work to fence the
area because it would make access to the loading docks difficult
for the trucks.
Ms. Dacy stated that if the area was fenced Onan would have to
participate, and a joint security system would be needed.
Mr. Aill, Public Safety Director, stated that he was not aware of
the vandalism problem at this site but would check and submit some
recommendations.
Councilman Schneider suggested that perhaps Mr. Kraemer should work
with the Police Department for several months to see if this can
be brought under control.
MOTION by CounCilman Schneider to grant Special Use Permit,
SP #90-08, with the following stipulations: (1) That the existing
storage area shall be cleaned of materials not directly related to
�13

� the retail lumher and contracting business and shall be used to
store only heavy equipment and materials directly related to the
retail lumber and contracting business. Further, that the height
of all exterior storage materials shall be below trie top of the
chain link fence; (2) Flat bed trailers sha1T be allowed to be
stored outside the storage area in the rear yard at the loading
docks; (3) The special use permit shall be reviewed by the City
Council in one year and by staff annually thereafter; (4) If an
outside dumpster is used, it shall be screened from public view;
and (5) The petitioner shall work with the Police Department's
Crime Prevention Bureau relative to vandalism and, if a solution
is not identified, the petitioner shall come back to the Council
in three months to consider allowing storage of vehicles in front
of the property. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.

8. APPROVAL OF AGREEMENTS FOR REFERENDUM RETURNS TO INDEPENDENT
SCHOOL DISTRICT NOS. 11. 13. 14 AND 16:
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that these agreements were
� presented to the Housing & Redevelopment Authority last month. He
stated that this is one of the largest amounts that the HRA has
dealt with over the last several years. He stated that the total
estimated 1991 return was $268,950, and they would actually be
returning $201,866.
Mr. Pribyl stated that the HRA had a concern about placing a cap
under what were discretionary type levies. He stated that the HRA
came up with a maximum cap of $200,000 and the amount should be
prorated based on the total dollars that could be returned. He
stated that the agreements are structured the same as past
agreements, but there is a paragraph added that places a limit on
the maximum amount of levy that could be returned. Mr. Pribyl
stated that School District 14 is the only district that has a
mandatory return under State statute and this amount is $1,866.
Mr. Jim Furgason, Chairman of the School Board for District No. 14,
stated that the School District has been receiving this money from
the ARA for the last three years. He stated that these are
referendum monies over and above what the HRA was planning on
receiving from tax increment financing. Mr. Furgason stated that
because of the formula and the cap, School District No. 14 would
lose about $4D,000.
Mr. Furgason stated that this was not taken into consideration in
� their planning process, as it was felt nothing had happened that
would decrease the approximately $160,000 they had anticipated.
He stated that this makes their budgeting problem increase as the
�J ? .i
FRIDLBY CITY COIINCIL MBETING OF JANOARY 7. 1991 PAGE 7
� loss of $40,000 is equal to one and one-half teachers, as eighty
percent of their budget is for staff.
Mr. Furgason stated that he would like to urge the Council to allow
the staffs of the school districts and the HRA to discuss this
further and see what could be worked out. He stated that he just
heard about this as the minutes of the HItA meeting were just
mailed, but wanted to come this evening to urge a little caution
as far as the Council taking action until it can he studied
further.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she can understand the school
district was anticipating the $160,000, but this was i£ everyone
pays their taxes. She stated that there have been projects where
taxes have not been paid.
Mr. Furgason stated that he would agree, but going back in history,
the districts are established with a certain revenue flow and those
dollars were never in that revenue flow. He felt that possibly
there should be discussion about the process on how tax increment
financing districts are established and funded. He stated that
there are taxpayers not paying and districts not developing as
anticipated, but these dollars were not in the original equations.
� Councilman Schneider asked if the HRA is adamant about the cap,
and if the Council wants something different, who has the final
decision.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that he has not researched this
question, but it seems to him that the monies are the HRA's and if
they take a position that this would be binding. He stated that
he would be happy to research this further before the Council takes
action.
Mr. Furgason stated that was one of the questions brought up when
this was first discussed. He stated that they had legal opinions
and bond counsel opinions.
Mr. Pribyl stated that it was the bond counsel's opinion that the
agreement had to be executed by the City Council.
Councilman Schneider stated that he would assume other cities are
in the same situation.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that he understands Fridley is in
the forefront in this area. He stated that Fridley has probably
turned back a larger portion of tax increment financing monies than
other cities.
� Mr. Pribyl stated that he thought Fridley was one of the few cities
turning back tax increment financing monies.
�
�2�
FRIDLSY CITY COUNCIL MEBTINa OF JANUARY 7, 1991 PAGE 8
Mr. Furgason stated that the School District has delayed a
referendum for one year until November, 1991, and part of that
decision was because they did not anticipate any increase, but also
not a decrease, in tax increment financing monies.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that with the economic situation and
the recession, she anticipates more businesses will not pay their
taxes.
Mr. Furgason stated that he would tend to agree and believes the
actions taken by the State Legislature will impact both the City
and School District.
Councilman Billings felt that there are two different areas. He
stated he assumes that on any parcel that is in a tax increment
district, if the taxes on that parcel are delinquent and it is
referendum money, that money is not turned over to the school
district until it is collected from the County. He stated the
other area is that the HRA did not plan on delinquencies on
property taxes and in that case, are the delinquencies which may
or may not involve referendum monies causing the HRA to be out of
hudget?
Councilman Billings stated that if referendum money is involved and
� if it is collected, he questioned why the HRA would have to keep
that money. He stated it was money that was not anticipated at the
time the districts were established, but is included in the HRA's
cash flow. He stated that it is not a free gift and the taxpayers
of the school district are, in fact, paying that free gift to the
HRA.
�
Councilman Billings stated that out of defense of the HRA, when
this was initially discussed several years ago, it was stated the
HRA would go along with the "give backs" on a temporary basis, but
could not guarantee they could give the full amount all the way
through. At the same time, it was his understanding they were
going to enter into one-year contracts that were two years out so
the school district could budget properly. He stated that for
1991, the work for 1993 should be done. He stated that he did not
know what happened to that process.
Councilman Billings stated that the other point is what is the
Council's role. Fie stated that the enabling legislation was the
City Council was the body passing the resolution to return these
funds. He is not sure if the Council has the right to amend this
agreement. He stated that he is disappointed to see this on the
agenda because he received his HRA minutes about the same time as
he received the agenda. He stated that there was never a vehicle
in the State statute that allowed the HRA to give these monies back
until about four years ago and felt the Legislature was at fault
in not providing it initially. He stated that he would strongly
�
�
�
� 7 ��
FRIDLBY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF JANIIARY 7. 1991 PAGE 9
encourage the HRA to give all the referendum monies they have
collected back to the school districts.
MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to table this item until it is
reviewed by the Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Seconded by
Councilman Billings.
Councilman Schneider stated that in reference to the tax defaults,
the budget was prepared for the HRA and certain assumptions were
made about their projects which are not necessarily holding true.
He stated that the bottom line is if the HRA does not have enough
money and comes to the Council, the taxpayers will get hit. He
stated that he does not think the HRA is acting improperly in that
they have to look out for themselves. He stated he hoped that the
problem could be resolved.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that when this issue was first
addressed several years ago, the HRA and Council were going to look
at a two-year planning process for the school board, but vaguely
remembers the HRA requesting a one year process. She stated that
she would like clarification on that issue in staff's report to the
Council.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and
Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
9. APPROVAL OF PUBLIC SCHOOL INSPECTION AGREEMENT WITH THE
MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY:
Mr. Aldrich, Fire Chief, stated that this is an agrement with the
State Fire Marshal's Division of the Minnesota Department of Public
5afety regarding inspections. He stated that the Legislature
passed a law that all public schools be inspected at least once
every three years. He stated that in Fridley, the schools have
been inspeated every year.
Mr. Aldrich stated that the agreement allows the City to conduct
the inspection and forward the results to the State so that the
City is in compliance with the law. He stated that the State does
make available to those who have this agreement some free training
relating to the codes and regulations that apply in these areas.
Mr. Aldrich stated that he would recommend the City enter into this
agreement and take advantage of the training sessions that are
available.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to authorize the City entering into
this agreement with the Department of Public Safety, Fire Marshal
Division. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.

Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she had a call from a citizen
inquiring as to whether the money the City has in Fridley State

in all iunds and is fully insured so they do not have to worry
about a collapse.
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that there has been a monthly

use the services of Fridley State Bank and funds can be invested
on a daily basis.
