PRESENTATION BY MICHAEL ERLICHMANN. CHAIRMAN OF THE REGIONAL
TRANSIT BOARD•
Mr. Erlichmann, Chairman of the Regional Transit Board, stated that
he is attempting to get out and visit City Councils in an effort
to try and improve communiaations with their Board. He stated that
the Regional Transit Board is responsible for the planning, policy
making, administration, and financing of transit services for the
entire metropolitan area.
Mr. Erlichmann stated that the challenge facing public
transportation has changed in regard to the role the Transit Board
will play in the future. He stated that the problems are
congestion and pollution, as over the next ten years the amount of
traffic will double from what it is today. He stated that if
geople took advantage of the transit systems that exist today,
there would no longer be worry about the environment, and the
country would be free from dependence on foreign oil.
� Mr. Erlichmann stated that there needs to be a concentration on
suburban transportation and participation by local officials. He
stated that a partnership needs to be developed to work with the
community regarding their special needs and to plan for their
transit future. He stated that he wished to extend the invitation
for the City to participate where ever they feel they can and to
call on the Regional Transit Board.
Mr. Erlichmann stated that at this time, there is a financial
crisis as their agency took one of the largest cuts among State
agencies. He stated that over the last several weeks they have
been involved in budget cuts and programs. He stated that the
qoals the Regional Transit Board has set are achievable, but needs
financial support. He stated that their recommendation to the
Legislature would be to increase their general fund allocation or
expand their levy limit.
Mr. Erlichmann stated that the Board is committed to the idea that
light rail transit is an important alternative. He submitted an
information guide to the Council regarding light rail transit. He
stated that a final plan has been sent to the Legislature this past
month, but whether or not any action is taken remains to be seen.
Mr. Rusch, 561 - 63rd Avenue, stated that he was opposed to light
rail transit and asked if the lifts in the new buses were working.
� Mr. Erlichmann stated that all of the new buses purahased by the
MTC will be equipped with lifts, and they are beginning to deploy
- � �_r i1
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETIN(i OF FEBRIIARY 11. 1991 PAC3E 3
� the first one hundred new buses with these lifts. He stated that
the new lifts are working and show reliability, however, in the
past the lifts had a lot of problems.
Mr. Rusch asked how the Anoka County Traveler system is working and
how it is subsidized.
Mr. Erlichmann stated that the Anoka County Traveler is a new
program subject to a demonstration period which has not expired so
they have not enforced their performance standards. He stated that
an opportunity needs to be afforded for that service to build a
consumer base. He stated that all public transit is subsidized to
some extent; however, he was not sure if the pay back from the fare
box was ten or fifteen percent.
A lady in the audience stated that if you have to drive to a light
rail transit site, she didn't know how this would help save the
environment.
Mr. Erlichmann stated that at each station there will be a feeder
bus system that will serve not only to get people to a light rail
station but between communities. He stated that there would be a
bus system closer to her home for transportation to the light rail
transit.
� Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that most of the buses in the State
use petroleum fuel and asked if they are looking at electrically
run buses.
Mr. Erlichmann stated that they are not looking at electrically run
buses. Due to the cost and overhead lines, most communities react
neqatively to this approach. He stated that, however, they are
ready to place five buses on lines that use different alternative
fuels to evaluate their performance. He stated it is hoped that
this will answer the question whether there should be a move from
a petroleum base fuel to another option. He stated it is hoped
that they would have an answer within two years and felt the
examination of alternative fuels is important.
Mayor Nee thanked Mr. Erlichmann for his presentation.
PUBLIC HEARINGS•
1. PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING A NEW CHAPTER OF
THE CITY CODE OF TI-IE CITY OF FRIDLEY, CHAPTER 127, ENTITLED
"SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES":
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by
� Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing
opened at 8:03 p.m.

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETINCi OF FBBRUARY 11. 1991 PAGE 4
� Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this
ordinance creates Chapter 127 of the Fridley City Code. She stated
that as a result of the location of the Fantasy House in the Moore
Lake Shopping Center, the Council directed staff to prepare an
ordinance regulating sexually oriented businesses.
Ms. Dacy reviewed the ten sections of this proposed ordinance as
follows: (1) the purpose and intent; (2) definitions of activities
and businesses which constitute sexually oriented businesses; (3)
application of the ordinance; (4) non-conforming uses; (5)
locations which establish required distances from residences,
churches, schools, and parks; (6) hours of operation; (7)
operation; (8) signage; (9) license requirements; and (10)
severability.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff reviewed studies from the cities of
Phoenix, St. Paul, Indianapolis, and the State Attorney General's
report. They also analyzed their findings. She stated that the
Planning Commission held a public hearing on this ordinance and
made two minor changes and approval of the ordinance is
recommended.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that this is not intended to
eliminate or prevent sexually oriented businesses in the community.
� He stated that the intent is to control the location of these
businesses, to license them, and require that they meet certain
standards. He stated that if there is a feeling in the community
that any business is violating criminal laws, there are statutes
under which they can be prosecuted.
Mr. Herrick stated that when the Council adopted the interim
ordinance, a resolution was passed. He stated that if the Council
intends to consider first reading of this ordinance, he has
prepared a resolution that is identical to the resolution passed
for the interim ordinance, except for the title. He stated that
he would request the Council adopt this resolution prior to taking
action on the first reading of the ordinance.
Mr. Rusch, 561 - 63rd Avenue, stated he believed that Fridley has
generally been a family-oriented community. He stated that he
would like the character of the community to remain as such and
felt sexually explicit businesses should be more subdued.
Mayor Nee stated that from evidence presented, by thinning out
concentration from one spot, this tends to reduce the negative
effects.
Ms. Dacy stated that the proposed ordinance would regulate the
location of sexually oriented businesses which involves four areas.
� She stated that the largest area would be the existing industrial
area west of University Avenue, east of the railroad tracks, and
north of 73rd Avenue. She stated the areas would be in the
�Jt
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MESTING �F FEBRUARY 11, 1441 PAGE 5
� southeast corner of Osborne Road and Highway 65 and at the
intersection of I-694 and East River Road in the business park, and
the commercial parcels on Highway 65 abutting I-694 in front of the
Target store and a small parcel on the Menard's property.
Ms. Darlene Rusch, 561 - 63rd Avenue, asked if at the present time
there were any license requirements for businesses of this type.
Ms. Dacy stated that there were not any license requirements that
now exist.
Ms. Rusch asked who would determine who receives a license and what
kind of clauses would be included in the license.
Ms. Dacy stated that the license process is very similar to the
process used for a liquor license. She stated that the business
owner must submit an application, which is reviewed by the Public
Safety Director, and certain standards would be evaluated. She
stated that all licenses would be approved by the City Council.
Ms. Rusch asked if there is a fee. Ms. Dacy stated there would be
a fee.
Mr. Herrick stated that when he met with the Public Safety
� Director, a fee of $400 was discussed. He stated that he wanted
to make sure the license procedure is understood and that it is not
intended to prevent these type of businesses from coming into the
community, but to regulate their location and review the applicant
to make sure the requirements set forth in the ordinance are met.
Ms. Rusch questioned the purpose of the license.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the license is to regulate the
businesses and to investigate the owners and gives the Council more
discretion on where the business may locate in the City.
Ms. Rusch questioned the constitutionality of the ordinance.
Mr. Herrick stated that hundreds of trials have been conducted in
this area, and he supposed every major court in the states has
written numerous decisions. He stated that the City has done its
best to follow other statutes in various communities, reviewed
court decisions, and hoped the ordinance is drafted in such a way
as to eliminate the objections that courts have found in other
ordinances.
Mr. Herrick stated that he would not guarantee, if challenged, that
this ordinance might have some deficiencies. He stated if parts
are found to be unconstitutional, the balance of the ordinance will
� remain in effect. He stated that he would not be surprised if it
is challenged in court and, if this is the case, his office will
have to defend it.
° �5�
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11. 1991 PAGB 6
� Mr. Dave Gronbeck, attorney representing Fantasy House, stated that
he didn't think the ordinance applies to Fantasy House. He stated
that it is very close to the St. Paul ordinance, that they fought
it out in St. Paul, and their ordinance doesn't apply to the
Fantasy House. He stated that if this ordinance applies to Fantasy
House, the City will be picking up a lot of stores they do not want
to call adult husinesses. He stated that whether from Fantasy
House or someone else, the certainty of litigation is there. He
stated that this is a broad ordinance where there are certain
percentages of the City where adult businesses could be located and
doubted if these locations are satisfactory for the location of
such a store.
Mr. Gronbeck stated that if a business sells adult or non-adult
products, they will have to cover the windows entirely. He thinks
that is a real problem. He stated that anybody who has seen the
Fantasy House windows, as displayed from the outside, would say
there is no problem. He stated that to require references from
residents of Anoka County was restrictive and felt it would be
stricken down. He stated that if challenged, he really wondered
if the benefit, whatever it may he, is worth what will probably be
a rather high cost of litigation for both sides.
Mr. Gronbeck stated that he comes back to the point he hears from
� the audience which is support for an ordinanae aimed at the Fantasy
House. He stated he hears from the City Attorney that it is to
allow adult businesses to locate somewhere in the City and wondered
if it does apply to Fantasy House.
Councilman Billings asked Mr. Gronbeck if he would agree with the
statement that if this ordinance covers the Fantasy House and
businesses similar or identical to the Fantasy House, essentially,
this ordinance would create a monopoly for Fantasy House for the
next three years since no others would be able to come into the
community.
Mr. Gronbeck stated that he really has not given the matter any
thought.
Mr. Gronbeck stated that Fantasy House has stores in St. Paul, St.
Louis Park, and Fridley and does not have any problem with
competition. He stated that every item that Fantasy House sells
is sold by other stores in the same community. He stated that they
don't have shady characters hanging around, tend to run a decent
business, and didn't see the problem.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated Mr. Gronbeck stated that all of the
items sold at Fantasy House are available in the community. She
stated that srie would have to disagree and that this is not the
� case in Fridley. She stated that some of the products sold by
Fantasy House may be available at Spencer's at Northtown, but not
�
�
�
�J�
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETINQ OF FEHROARY 11, 1991 PAGE 7
in Fridley, however, you could probably buy a dog collar or leash
at Target or Menard's.
Mr. Gronbeck stated his experience has been that items which are
sold at Fantasv House are available elsewhere.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that they may be available elsewhere,
but not necessarily within Fridley's city boundaries.
Mayor Nee stated that this ordinance is quite broad in that it also
affects businesses that may wish to locate here in the future.
Mr. Boswell, 6800 Washington Street, thanked the Council for all
the time taken to draft this ordinance. He stated that he
certainly did not realize all the work involved. He stated that
he knows the ordinance is not directed at Fantasy House, but is
trying to address the dangers in the reports from other cities.
He ielt that everyone agrees that this type o£ husiness does not
have any place in Fridley.
Mr. Boswell stated he wished to address a question to Mr. Gronbeck
regarding charges brought by the City of St. Louis Park against the
Fantasy House pertaining to an obscene movie purchased at the store
and where the charges were plea bargained. He stated that since
this time a movie was purchased at the St. Louis Park store, the
same movie was found obscene in the Ferris Alexander trial, and the
City of St. Louis Park is investigating.
Mr. Gronbeck stated that may be the case, sometimes a plea bargain
is an admission that something isn't there.
Mr. Boswell stated that he believed Mr. Gronbeck agreed to check
into this matter. He questioned why Fantasy House paid courts if
they were not guilty. He stated that he does not want adult
oriented businesses in family shopping centers and felt Fantasy
House falls into this category.
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the
public hearing closed at 8:33 p.m.
2. PUSLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE RECODIFYING SECTION 205 OF THE
FRIDLEY CITY CODE ENTITLED "ZONING" BY AMENDING SECTIONS
205.14.O1.A. 205.15.O1.A, 205.17.O1.C. AND 205.18.O1.C:
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman
Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at
8:34 p.m.
� �5�
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11. 1991 PAGE 8
� Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this
ordinance amends Section 205 of the Zoning Ordinance to permit
sexually oriented businesses in certain commercial and industrial
districts. She stated that these businesses will be allowed as a
permitted use in C-2 and C-3 zoning districts, subject to the rules
of Chapter 127 of the code, and in M-1 and M-2 zoning districts,
with a special use permit. She stated that if a sexually oriented
business would be located in a multi-tenant building, there are
standards in the industrial districts that commercial uses must
meet. She stated that the business would not only have to meet the
requirements of Chapter 127, but the requirements for uses in a
multi-tenant building.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission has reviewed the
ordinance and recommended approval.
Mr. Rusch, 561 - 63rd Avenue, stated he understands that the
Supreme Court has stated that the citizens of a community can
determine the standards by which they judge obscenity. He
questioned if a community can disallow obscenity in any area of the
City.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that is an oversimplification
of what was stated by the Supreme Court. He stated that the
� leading case is Miller vs. California and, in that case, the
Supreme Court set forth three broad standards. He stated that he
was not prepared to quote them this evening; however, in applying
those three standards, the standards may vary from one community
to another. He stated that standards in a small town in Minnesota
may be different than standards in larger cities such as Los
Angeles or Las Vegas. He stated that, to some extent, the
standards of the community are applicable, but there are still
other tests that have to be met, particularly in dealing with books
and movies because of first amendment requirements.
Mr. Herrick stated that when he began researching this issue, he
was of the opinion that obscenity and pornography were synonymous.
He stated the courts state that pornography, as it is applied to
speech and writing, is an activity protected by the first
amendment, while obscenity is a crime. He stated that what is
obscene to one person may be pornography to someone else. He
stated the courts have ruled that when it comes to expression,
either in writing or verbal or in movies, that even though they are
pornographic, they have first amendment protection and a community
cannot prevent them from being established in the community.
Mr. Herrick stated there is a fine line between the protection that
the constitution gives to first amendment rights and the other side
of that line to prevent those activities that are criminal in
� nature.
� u5J
FRIDLEY CITY COONCIL MEETING OF FESRUARY il. 1991 PAGE 9
� Ms. Jan Hebeisen, 901 W. Moore Lake Drive, asked how old the
Supreme Courts decisions were to which Mr. Herrick is referring.
Mr. Herrick stated that some go back many years and some are very
recent. He stated that in the Miller case, which is one of the
leading Supreme Court cases, it is probably 1980, a Renton case
about 1989, and a Dumias case f�om 1990.
Ms. Hebeisen stated that one of the prime cases this ordinance was
based on was a 1986 case, and the makeup of the Supreme Court has
changed dramatically since 1986. She felt that the public has been
extremely concerned about obscenity in Fridley, and it is the
desire that it be completely eliminated from our community.
Ms. Hebeisen stated her desire would be that Fridley have the
gumption to take this to the Supreme Court so obscenity would not
be allowed in the community if this is against the standards of
the majority of the people. She stated that she understands this
would cost a lot of money, but there are organizations which may
provide lawyers, and funding may be obtained from people all over
the country to fight these cases.
Mr. Herrick stated that he felt the City was taking the first step
this evening by considering the ordinances.
� MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the
public hearing closed at 8:47 p.m.
3. PUBLIC HEARING ON A REZONING REOUEST. ZOA #90-D6, BY CRYSTEEL
TRUCK EOUIPMENT, TO REZONE PROPERTY FROM M-1, LIGHT
INDUSTRIAL. TO C-2, GENERAL BUSINESS, GENERALLY LOCATED AT
1130 73RD AVENUE N.E.:
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing
opened at 8:47 p.m.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that this property
is currently zoned M-1 and the request is to rezone to C-2. She
stated the petitioner is requesting the rezoning in order to apply
for a special use permit for outdoor display of inerchandise. She
stated that if the rezoning is not approved, the petitioner is
requesting that the original special use permit be changed to allow
the outdoor display of trucks for sale.
� Ms. Dacy stated that staff recommended denial of this rezoning as
the use of the property would not fit under the C-2 zoning district
regulations and approving the rezoning would render the property
�1 � `,'
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF FEBRIIARY 11. 1991 PAGE 10
� non-conforming. She stated that the Planning Commission's
recommendation was also for denial of the rezoning.
Mr. Kay, General Manager of Crysteel, stated that they have been
at this location a little over two years, and their business has
undergone quite a bit of change. Iie stated that when they began
business at this facility they felt it would be more than adequate,
but growth has been faster than anticipated, and there are times
when they need to use the front area for storage of vehicles.
Mr. Kay stated staff has determined that they are a repair garage.
He stated that they are not a repair garage, but an agency that
sells equipment. He stated that they do work on vehicles as part
of their business, but they are a distributor of manufactured
equipment of goods.
Mayor Nee asked if they wish outdoor display or outdoor storage.
Mr. Kay stated that Crysteel would like to be able to display
equipment for sale. He stated that, on the other hand, there are
times where they have vehicles waiting to be picked up and are
short of storage.
Councilman Schneider stated that one of the comments from a
� Planning Commission member was that Crysteel has simply outgrown
the building.
Mr. Kay stated that they are close to it; however, it was not
anticipated that the growth would be this fast.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that one of the ways to solve
the problem would be to re-consider the restriction on display of
merchandise that could be perraitted in an M-1 and M-2 zoning
district. He stated that outdoor display is presently allowed in
commercial districts, but not in industrial districts.
Mr. Iierrick stated that some thought may be given to changing the
ordinance to allow outdoor display in industrial zones. He felt
Crysteel's business belongs in an industrial, rather than a
commercial zone, but did not know if there should be a restriction
on display. Iie stated that one of the major problems is that site
may be too small for what they wish to accomplish. He stated that
at present, Crysteel does not meet the criteria £or a commercial
zone, and they are not entitled to a permit for outdoor display in
the present zoning district.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that there is a snowmobile dealership
located to the south of Crysteel, and restrictions were placed on
outside storage because the City did not want a display along
� Highway 65. She stated that she did not want to see the vehicles
on display in front of the building as it was not the imaqe the
City wishes to portray in that area.

FRIDLEY CITY COUNGIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY il. 1491 PAGE 11
Mr. Kay stated that he is not here to plead for the rezoning. He
stated that it was a means to try and get their problem to the
Council so they could find a way to have what they want and what
the Council wants. He stated that he hoped there is some means
where they could work with the City to accomplish what they wish
to do.
Councilman Schneider asked how much outdoor display was
anticipated.
Mr. Kay stated that at any given time, they would have two to four
vehicles.
Ms. Dacy stated that it would be a policy decision whether the
Council wanted more display in an industrial district.
Mr. Herrick stated that if the ordinance was amended to permit
display of inerchandise in an industrial district with a special
use permit, perhaps, in this case, the Council may agree to a
limited number of vehicles to be displayed during daylight hours.
He stated that he would suspect Crysteel would not want these
vehicles sitting out overnight due to vandalism.
Mr. Kay stated that he would be willing to accept reasonable
restrictions on what could be done.
Mayor Nee asked where Crysteel's employees park. Mr. Kay stated
that they park primarily in front of the building; however, some
employees park in the street between their business and Super
America.
Councilman Billings stated that when the City issued variances,
Crysteel agreed to no outdoor displays, and just because their
business has changed, did not mean the City's position has changed.
He stated that even though Crysteel agreed to no outdoor storage,
they are still doing it.
Mr. Kay stated that he is not trying to deny that there have been
problems.
Councilman Billings stated that if Crysteel wants to change the
rules, the City could change the variance and eliminate some of the
building. He stated that the only reason Crysteel has that size
building was because they agreed they did not need outdoor storage.
Mr. Kay stated that he was sorry those who preceded him did not
honor their commitment.
Councilman Schneider stated that Councilman Billinqs' point is
� valid and that the outdoor storaqe was a key item. He stated that,
however, he would be comfortable with requesting staff to review
the policy to permit outdoor display in industrial zones. He felt
�5�
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF FBBRUARY 11, 1991 PAGE 12
� that this site was awfully small to allow outdoor display as there
should be a certain amount of open area. He stated that the
rezoning does not seem to be in anyone's interest.
Mr. Kay stated that the rezoning was a vehicle to get the issue
before the Council to try and resolve the problem they face.
Ms. Terrie Mau, 248 Mississippi Street, stated that she is
concerned about outside storage; however, she has seen this area
continually improve. She stated that Crysteel has cleaned up this
area, and their equipment out front is not an eyesore. She stated
that this business has improved the quality of that street, and she
would hate to see them leave this area.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the
public hearing closed at 9:22 p.m.

� MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to receive the minutes of the
Cable Television Advisory Commission Meeting of January 23, 1991.
Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
5. RECEIVE THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF
JANUARY 23, 1991•
A. AMENDMENT TO THE ADOPTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR
FRIDLEY TOWN SQUARE DEVELOPMENT, TO CONSIDER ADDING A DRIVE-
THROUGH WINDOW FOR A FAST FOOD RESTAURANT ON THE WEST SIDE OF
THE PROPOSED Bi7ILDING. THE PROPERTIES INCLUDED IN THIS
REDEVELOPMENT PLAN ARE 355 MISSISSIPPI STREET N.E., 368 - 66TH
AVENUE N.E.. AND 6525 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E.:
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that the Fridley
Town Square Development project refers to property in the northeast
corner of University Avenue and Mississippi Street. She stated
that the developer has a purchase agreement for the acquisition of
a single family home on 66th Avenue and one on Mississippi Street.
Ms. Dacy stated that in June, 1990 the Council approved
redevelopment of this site to the S-2 district for construction of
a 28,000 square foot shopping center. She stated that approval was
contingent upon seventeen stipulations. She stated that there was
, one entrance to the site and traffic entered at the far southeast
corner. She stated that parking was provided in the front and
space for loading and unloading in the rear of the building.
�
U���i
FRIDLBY CITY C�IINCIL M&&TING UF F&BRIIARY 11. 1991 PAGE 13
Ms. Dacy stated that the developer is revising his request and is
planning to lease space to Burger King and have a drive-through
operation. She stated that this was a significant change in the
plan, and it was necessary to bring it back to the Planning
Commission and City Council.
Ms. Dacy stated that in terms of square footage, this plan is
somewhat smaller and the square footage is reduced from 28,23o to
27,745. She stated that the same number of parking spaces is
maintained and the aisle widths around the building is proposed to
be increased from 20 feet to 28-33 feet. Ms. Dacy stated that an
eight foot wall would be constructed along with landscaping and the
wall extended to University Avenue.
Ms. Dacy stated that the loadinq zone is proposed to be movad from
the east side of the building to the north side. She stated that
because of the additional traffic at the rear of the building,
additional landscaping is recommended along University Avenue and
a proposed screening wall be extended to University Avenue. She
stated that the traffic would now move counter-clockwise, rather
than clockwise as vehicles would enter at the southeast corner and
proceed north toward 66th Avenue and turn left to the rear of the
building to the drive-through at the west end.
� Ms. Dacy stated that from the report by the traffic consultant,
Barton-Aschman Associates, it was found that the level of service
on Mississippi Street would not decline as a result of the addition
of the Burger King restaurant.
�
Ms. Dacy stated that there is also a difference in the setbacks
from the original plan as the petitioner has reduced the size of
the building and increased the setbacks. She stated that there are
just one or two locations where the parking spaces are 18 feet long
and there is a 24, rather than a 25 foot aisle.
Ms. Dacy stated that regarding the impact of the light rail
transit, the County was asked to review the proposed plan and that
they had no comments pertaining to any conflicts with pedestrian
traffic. She stated that there will be an increase in overall
traffic volumes due to the addition o£ the £ast food restaurant.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission did not pass a motion
to approve or deny as each motion failed by a 3-3 tie.
Ms. Dacy stated that there is a report from the petitioner's
consultant, Braun Intertech, regarding the air quality from cars
waiting in line to pick up their orders and noise emissions from
cars and speaker boxes.
Mr. Bob Guzy, attorney with the law firm of Barna, Guzy and
Steffen, stated that he is representing the developer, Mr. Scott
Ericson. He stated that Burger King has approached the petitioner
�ss
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETINQ OF FEBRIIARY ll 1991 PAGE 14
� to become a tenant at the Fridley Town Square Development. He
stated that this would be the relocation of a business now in
Fridley from the southwest quadzant to the northeast quadrant o£
the University Avenue/Mississippi Street intersection.
Mr. Guzy stated that the developer realizes there is an impact by
this business relocating to this site and wants to show that this
is something compatible with the neighborhood. He stated that as
far as they can determine, Burger King has been a good corporate
citizen in the community.
Mr. Guzy stated that Mr. Koski is here to answer any questions
regarding traffic, and Mr. Carlson is present to address the air
quality issue, Mr. Blue, representing Burger King, is here and so
is Mr. Ericson, the developer.
Mr. Guzy stated that the question is if the drive-through facility
can operate in that area without impact. He stated that the
lighting problem can be resolved and that the other areas of
concern are traffic, noise, and odor emissions. He felt that the
item to be concerned with regarding noise is that University Avenue
is heavily traveled and there probably will be more noise from
University Avenue than what is generated at the drive-through
during the peak hours of about 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
� Mr. Guzy stated that the developer is concerned about the
neighborhood, and a screening wall is proposed to shelter four
homes adjacent to this site. He stated that he did not believe
noise would affect anyone beyond this area.
Mr. Keith Carlson, ceXtified Industrial Hygienist with Braun
Intertech, stated that in regard to the noise, he could certainly
see where there were some implications, but felt they would be
minimal. He stated that in regard to odors, with a double baffle
air filtration system, odors could not be detected from the
facility at 175 feet. He stated that Burger King has such a system
at their facility at TH 169 and Old Shakopee Road. Mr. Carlson
stated that the speakers are pointed towards University Avenue, and
there would be very little impact to persons on the north side of
this establishment. He stated that as far as noise from the
vehicles, it is his opinion that the wall will provide ample
protection at least within 30 to 45 feet. He stated that there
would be some concentration of air pollutants from the automobiles
waiting in line for their orders for five to ten minutes and felt,
by comparison, the air quality would be similar to downtown
Minneapolis at any given time. He stated that this may result in
a hint of odor from time to time.
Mr. Dan Blue, representing Burger King, stated that part of the
� reason they would like to relocate is to upgrade their facility.
He stated that more sophisticated speakers can be installed which
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11. 1991 PAGE 15
� have the ability to monitor daytime noise versus evening noise in
order to keep the noise volume down.
Councilman Billings asked about the double baffle air filtration
system.
Mr. Carlson stated that this system uses a douhle trap so odors and
grease are caught more than one time.
Mr. Dave Koski, Principal Associate with Barton-Aschman Associates,
stated that a supplemental report was prepared analyzing the Burger
King operation. He stated that they didn't find a problem. He
stated that there would be no change in the level of service on
Mississippi Street during peak hours from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. He
stated that although additional traffic volume will be created at
this time of the day, it will not be enough for a drop in the level
of service. He stated that they analyzed actual data from the
current Burger King location, and the peak hour appears to be
during the noon hour and the peak for the shopping center occurs
between 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. He stated that the relocation of Burger
King to this aorner of the intersection redistributes the trips to
the extent that the function of the intersection is slightly
improved.
� Ms. Hogan, 365 Mississippi Street, stated that the residents were
promised there would not be a drive-through restaurant in this
shopping center. She stated that the center was to serve persons
within a two mile radius so there would not be that much traffic.
She felt that Burger King would draw business outside of this
radius. She stated that the traffic is rated a D now and asked if
it would be a D- with the addition of Burger King at this site.
Mr. Koski stated that there would not be any deterioration in the
level of service. He stated that with Burger King relocated from
the southwest to the northeast quadrant, the level of service at
this intersection will even be a little better.
Councilman Fitzpatrick asked how this could be better when there
is additional traffic.
Mr. Koski stated that there is additional traffic in the driveway.
He stated that much of the Burger King traffic is traffic that
already exists on the roadway. He stated that when the turning
movements are analyzed, some of the turning movements are improved.
Ms. Dacy stated that in the revised study, it was assumed that 25
percent of the traffic generated by Burger King was traffic that
already exists on the roadway.
� Mr. Koski stated that with the Burger King already located in this
area, they did not assume the traffic generated by this business
�
� � 4
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF FEHROARY 11. 1991 PAGE 16
would be 100 percent new traffic, but traffic that is now there
and just being rerouted.
Mr. Jack Kirkham, 470 - 66th Avenue, stated that several
informational meetings were held last year, and one of the major
issues from the residents in the neighborhood was traffic. He
stated that the developer, Mr. Ericson, assured them that most of
the traffic would be pedestrian traffic. He stated that with a
Burger King at this location, it is a business that cannot thrive
without vehicular traffic. He stated that the whole scheme has
been changed in order to provide for vehicular traffic. He
questioned the amount of traffic for the morninq and afternoon
hours.
Mr. Guzy stated that the average number of cars in the morning
hours are about twelve and for the afternoon hours of 4:00 p.m. to
5:0o p.m., about twelve to fourteen and some days it averages about
eighteen.
Councilman Billings asked for a comparison regarding the ratio of
gross sales at the existing facility as compared with a new
facility.
Mr. Blue stated that he was not sure he knew the exact answer to
� that question. He stated that they want to relocate because their
restaurant has aged, and they would like to move into a new
upgraded facility. He stated that, hopefully, they could offset
the cost of relocating to a new facility by some increase in
revenue at a new site.
Councilman Billings asked if the finanaial expectations are to
double their current business.
Mr. Blue stated that he does not have any percentage figures he
could give at this time.
Councilman Billings asked the ratio of business in regard to those
who come in to the establishment and those that use the drive-
through.
Mr. Blue stated that
45 percent, and in a
or about 50 percent.
in a high volume faaility the ratio is 40 to
low volume facility the ratio is about even
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that he is surprised there are so few
residents from the neighborhood. He stated that at previous
meetings hefore the Planning Commission and City Council, there
have been more residents in attendance.
� Mayor Nee felt that a lot of the complaints were worked out at the
Planning Commission meeting.
� G6�
FRIDLBY CITY COUNCIL MEETING �F FEBRUARY il. 1991 PAGE 17
� Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that there apparently was not a
strong feeling on the part of the Planning Commission since there
was a split vote.
Mr. Guzy stated that to clarify the objections of the Planning
Commission, members who voted against this were concerned about the
pedestrian crossing. He stated he felt that marking the pedestrian
crossing and controlling traffic coming out of the drive-through
facility makes this a controllable situation. He stated that one
of the members of the Planning Commission mentioned the impact on
the area, and they are trying to address the impact so Burger King
and the residential area can co-exist. He stated that is why
changes in the plan and wall structure have been proposed.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated that all of the objections were not
due to the pedestrian walkway. He stated that he saw this as being
intrusive in the neighborhood in regard to the traffic, noise, and
hours o£ operation.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that when the Council first
considered this issue, she made the motion for approval. She
stated that she has some very serious reservations about a drive-
through in this neighborhood. She stated that Burger King is a
very qood corporate citizen in the City, the City appreciates their
� business, and she could see where moving across the street would
benefit them. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated, however, she does not
feel a drive-through is an appropriate use within that shopping
center. She stated that in light of the testimony that was given
at the Planning Commission meeting she cannot vote for approval
with a drive-through in place as it is a question of integrity to
the neighborhood. She stated that she did not know if Burger King
could exist on the site without a drive-through, but would
sincerely hope they would look into this issue.
Councilman Schneider stated that he was supportive of the original
proposal, but he shares Councilwoman Jorgenson's conoern. He felt
that a promise was made to the neighborhood that a shopping center
is an intrusion, but one that is manageable. He felt that when a
drive-through is added, even though a vast majority of the noise
is mitigated, there are things that cannot be mitigated. He stated
that he would have a difficult time supporting a drive-through.
Mayor Nee stated that if the Council wished to place a stipulation
requiring that Burger King close earlier, Burger King might be open
to this suggestion.
Councilman Billings stated that what is being considered is a
change in the development plan to allow a drive-through window for
a restaurant. He stated that it doesn't necessarily specify it
� would be Burger King. He stated that if the new proposal was
approved, and Burger King chose not to go into this development,
���
FRZDLBY CITY COUNCIL MEETING QF FEBRUARY 11, 1441 PAGE 18
� the door would be open for any other business to go locate at this
site.
Ms. Dacy stated that was correct as long as the site plan was
approved and they met any stipulations imposed by the Council.
Councilman Billings stated that he came into this meeting thinking
it really didn't make any difference that the Blaske Group is
currently in Chapter il reorganization, but once he thought about
the traffic patterns and the relocation of Burger King, there are
other thinqs to consider since the City does not know how the
bankruptcy judge will rule and there are other players in this
game.
Mr. Guzy stated that from the developer's standpoint, whatever
restrictions the Council wishes to place on this site to limit it
to Burger King would be acceptable. He stated all the financial
arrangements would tie the Burger King people into this site for
a number o£ years.
Councilman Billings stated that his only concern is if the Council
approves the change to allow for a fast-food restaurant and the
bankruptcy judge decides Burger King should not be moving, then it
opens the door for a different fast-food facility.
� Councilman Billings stated that certainly the impact of this
particular facility on the neighborhood is a significant one. He
stated that if Burger King relocates it would please some but anger
others. He stated that is not a factor in his decision in this
matter. He stated that his concern is about preserving the
integrity of the Barton-Aschman traffic study. He stated that he
would like to table this item for several weeks before a vote is
taken.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to table this item to the February
25, 1991 meeting. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Herrick stated that the ordinance under which this project is
permitted is a rather brief ordinance and requires a certain zone
which the Council approved several months ago. He stated that it
then requires approval of a development plan, and finally, it
addresses the approval of occupants or tenants in the building.
Mr. Herrick stated that in as much as this is a fairly new
procedure for the City, it seems as other tenants are chosen the
same procedure would follow. He stated that the owner of the
facility would be advising the City as to who will be moving in
and then the City would have to approve it. He stated that he
� wanted to bring this out that there is that provision in the
ordinance.
