She stated triat since the May 4 Council meeting, there was a meeting between property owners, Councilman Billings, and staff to determine if Mr. Merkel and the property owned by Mr. Warren Stock could be combined to form one piece of property. She stated that the intent of combining the properties was to make a larger parcel rather than allowing two smaller non- conforming uses to oontinue to occur. Ms. Dacy stated that Mr. Merkel proposed purchasing the south half of Mr. Stock's property, and the property owner to the north could possibly purchase the north half. She stated that Mr. Stock is not willing to sell his property to Mr. Merkel, and the property owner to the north was not interested in purchasing Mr. Stock's property. She stated that the property owner to the north, who owns Abrasive Specialties, indicated if the two properties weze comhined, he would be interested in constructing his own business on the property. Councilman Billings stated that about two weeks ago he and staff met with Mr. Merkel and Mr. Stock. He stated that at that time, it seemed there was some agreement that Mr. 5tock would be willing � to sell his property to Mr. Merkel. He stated that several weeks prior to this time, Mr. Stock offered to purchase Mr. Merkel's property. He stated that this afternoon Mr. Stock indicated he was 4 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SUNE 1. 1992 PAGE 4 � not willing to sell his property to Mr. Merkel, but he would like to retain his property and apply for variances on his parcel. Councilman Billings stated that for several years the City has been trying to clean up some of the problems that exist in this particular neighborhood in terms of non-conforming uses, and it has been the goal to combine these two pieces of property. He stated that he is not prepared to grant variances that do not meet the long term goals of the City. He stated that he is surprised that Mr. Stock is not willing to sell the property if Mr. Merkel is in agreement to purchase it. Councilman Billings stated that this item could be tabled until June 29 to allow more time to see if a purchase could be accomplished or he would be willing to move that the lot width and lot area variances be granted. However, he would not be in favor of the other variances or the alley vacation. He stated that Mr. Merkel has an immediate need to construct the building so he would defer to him which approval he would prefer. Mr. Jacobson, of Metro Building Systems and representing the petitioner, stated that several options were discussed over the last several weeks, and they would like to amend the side yard variance. He stated that with the City's long-range plans to clean � up the area, he expects the alley to be vacated at some time in the future, and the building would then be in compliance. He stated that their plan would be to reduce the building by five feet and decrease the side yard variance. Mr. Sacobson stated that their plan is to also eliminate the need for a front yard loading dock by locating this to the rear of the building. He stated that if the side yard setback variance is approved, Mr. Merkel could proceed with his construction. He stated that the City should have informed them before they bought the property whether they could build on it or not. Councilman Billings asked if Mr. Merkel applied for the variances before or after he purchased the property. Mr. Merkel stated that he applied for the variances before he bought the property. Councilman Billings then stated that Mr. Merkel knew before he purchased the property that variances were needed. Mr. Jaoobson stated that they would like to have the side yard variance approved. Councilman Billings stated that he had indicated he may be willing to grant this variance continqent on combining the two lots; � however, the request is for the variance without combining the lots. 5 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1. 1992 PAGE 5 � Mr. Jacobson stated that they made every effort to go along with the City's plans to combine those lots, but this is not happening. Mr. Merkel stated that he does not have a business at this time and will not be able to operate a business until he can build on this site. Councilman Billings stated that there has not been any delay in the variance and vacation process. He stated that because action on the vacation would not be taken until this evening, he requested the variances also be placed on this agenda. He asked Mr. Merkel if he preferred the variances for the lot area and width be approved or to table this item until the next meeting to see what could be worked out. Mr. Merkel stated that he wanted the side yard variance approved also, and he felt he has to move on, as he does not like riding this roller coaster and putting up with the hassles. Councilman Billings stated that in absence of a written request for withdrawal of the variances, he would move the following: MOTION by Councilman Billings to tal�le this item to the next meeting on June 29, 1992.

He stated that if they had an interest, he does not want to be granting the vacation. He stated that he did not know if this had progressed to the point where the State had retained title. He stated that if the State or County did not have an interest, the City would not have any legal reason to deny the vacation. He stated that if, in fact, the State or County had an interest in the property, he wanted to make sure they were a party to any vacations, special use permits, or variances that occurred on this property. Councilman Schneider asked if this was done with all properties. Councilman Billings stated that this was the first time he was contacted by the County to ascertain this information. He stated that he does not know if the County monitors this on a regular basis or not, but it possibly might be do to the fact that property taxes were due on May 15.

RECEIVE BIDS FOR ELECTRICAL SERVICE UPDATE FOR WELLS NO. 2, � 4, 5, 6 AND 7, PROJECT N0. 238: Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that the 1992 program had a project upgrade for Wells No. 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. He stated that � � 17 ERIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1. 1492 PAGE 17 bids were received for this update; however, staff is recommending that the bids be rejected. He stated that there are a number of reasons behind this recommendation. He stated that the most important is the benefit to the City from a new Northern States Power rebate program begun after the original advertisement for bids. He stated that this program requires pre-qualification by NSP to participate and the City is now seeking this pre-qualification. Mr. Flora stated that Northern States Power will rebate to the City, $70 per horsepower, if the City uses adjustable speed drive motor starts. However, the original bid proposal only called for soft-start, soft-stop motor starters, which do not qualify under the NSP program. He stated that the NSP rebate would amount to $43,400. He stated that there would also be future energy savings through the use of adjustable speed driven motor starters. Councilman Schneider clarified that the new motors, prior to any rebates, would cost $92,OOD for all five wells, but with the $43,000 NSP rebate, out of pocket expenses are $49,000, or $8,000 less than what was budgeted. Mr. Burns stated that that was correct, however, $5,000 of this $8,000 savings would be for engineering and design work in order to meet NSP specifications. Mr. Flora stated that in talking with the City's consultant, TKDA, an overall reduction in the cost of the motor for Well No. 13 would be about $5,000, with the NSP rebate. Mr. Flora stated that there would be another $16,000 savings annually in energy as these motors would use less electricity.

APPROVAL OF PAYMENT OF THE T.H. 65 TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAL AGREEMENT N0. 68243: Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that when the City executed this agreement with the Minnesota Department of Transportation for signalization improvements at Highway 65 and 53rd Avenue, the estimate for this project was $14,186.30. He stated that the actual billing was for $16,996.55. He stated that the reason for the increase was that, while the bidder was low, the cost of the signals were more than anticipated. He recommended that the Council authorize this expenditure. � MOTION by Councilman Billings to approve the payment of $16,996.55 to the Minnesota Department of Transportation in conjunction with the signalization improvement at Highway 65 and 53rd Avenue as covered under Agreement No. 68243. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 22. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS: UPDATE ON STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS: Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that based on the public hearinqs on the street improvement projects for upqrading residential streets in the City, there was some concern about the cost of the project and assessment which was estimated at $9.50 a front foot. He stated that in looking at some other options and methods for installing the concrete curb and gutter, the improvements could probably be done at a cost not to exceed $8.00 a front foot. He stated that if the costs are higher, it is suggested the City absorb this cost from the Street Fund. Mr. Flora stated that staff also looked at the low income family guidelines, and this could possibly be taken into consideration in the assessment and defer any assessments for those families that � meet the HUD guidelines until such time as the property is sold. Mayor Nee stated that if the Council agrees with the general premise, there is still a problem with not having adequate 20 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE l, 1992 PAGE 20 � petitions. He stated that this is a City initiated program for reconstructing the streets, and if nothing is done and they deteriorate, more and more maintenance is required. He stated that it is staff's recommendation the City attempt to salvage their investment in the streets. Mr. Flora stated it is suggested that a policy be adopted for a street reconstruction program. Ae stated that the City has a street inventory system where the streets are inspected and evaluated. He stated that due to the age of a number of streets, which are 25 to 30 years old, there are improvements which need to be accomplished. He stated that it has been the City's policy since the 1960's to install concrete curb and gutter, and he proposes continuing this policy on the older streets to bring them up to standards. He stated that concrete curb does not break up from snowplows or deteriorate from the weather. He stated that if the concrete curb is damaged, only a small section needs to be replaced unlike bituminous curbing. Mr. Flora suggested that the City adopt a street reconstruction program and absorb all costs for reconstruction of the streets, except for those streets that never had concrete curbs and gutters installed, the residents should participate in this cost. � Councilman Schneider asked if a street does not have concrete curb and gutter and there is 100 percent opposition, if staff is suggesting the City proceed and assess the residents. Mr. Flora stated that if there is l00 percent opposition, the project should not proceed. Councilman Schneider stated that he did not want to be in the position that in order to maintain the streets, people are forced out of their homes. He stated that there are residents in the City with declining incomes, and this economic situation has to be addressed. He stated that he would be willing to contact those residents who objected to the improvement ancl suggest the $8.0o a front foot cost and the proposal for deferral, but he is not sure everyone would accept this proposal. Mr. Flora stated that with a reconstruction program, it would take about forty years to have all the streets reconstructed. He stated that if asphalt curbs were installed, the cost would l�e about $3.00 a foot, and more money would have to be spent for repairs. He stated that with a policy established by the Council, a program would be offered every year for improvement of certain streets, and if the residents did not want it, the pro�ect would not have to be done. � Mr. Burns stated that the City did not want to force anything on the residents. He stated that he felt this street improvement project was very important, and it is worth talking to the residents to see if this new proposal meets with their approval. 21 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1. 1992 PAGE 21 � Mr. Flora stated that he was surprised when a petition was received this evening for the improvement on 67th Avenue. Mayor Nee asked the City Attorney if five votes were needed or an unanimous vote of those members who were present this evening. Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that he would like further time �o review this question and report back at the next meeting. Mr. Flora stated that three petitions were received in opposition to the street improvement from those residents on 68th Avenue, Rice Creek Road and Alden Way. He thought that perhaps a cross-section of those who were opposed might be polled to determine if they felt any differently about the new proposal. Councilman Schneider stated that he could talk with residents on Rice Creek Road during the next few weeks. Mr. Flora stated the residents on Rice Creek Road felt that the $9.50 a front foot cost was too high and wanted the City to participate more. He stated that staff is now suggesting a front foot cost of $8.00. Mr. Flora stated that HUD has guidelines established, and if anyone � could meet that criteria they could have the assessment deferred. Mr. Burns stated that staff is suggesting using the very low income guidelines, but there are also guidelines for moderate and low income families. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that there was a petition for the project to proceed on Hathaway Lane, but she knows that residents were not in favor at a cost of $9.50. She stated that she did not know if they would feel any different about an $8.00 a front foot cost. She stated that there is opposition to the concrete curb and qutter, and there were only about five people in favor of the project. Mr. Flora stated that costs are going up every year and deterioration continues. He stated that the longer the City delays maintenance and repairs the more it will cost. Mr. Burns stated that in surveying other cities this proposal is a generous one. Mr. Flora stated that of the eleven cities surveyed, only five have a reconstruction program in place. He stated that this is relatively new, as most of the cities were about the same age as Fridley. � Mayor Nee felt that concrete curb and gutter significantly improves a neighborhood and increases values. 22 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 1, 1992 PAGE 22 ' Councilman Billings asked how long this $8.00 a front foot cost would be in effect. He asked how a deferred assessment is followed. He also questioned the situation of a low income family obtaining a deferment when the project is constructed and if this changed several years later, how it is handled. He stated that a more demanding question in his mind is if the City is providing an alternative of bituminous curb as opposed to concrete curb. He stated that there is an established policy for new developments that concrete curb and gutter is required. He stated that he did not want to install projects with concrete curb and gutter one year and then have the Council establish a policy of bituminous curb six months later. He felt that the questions on the design standards have to be answered and then come up with ways oi financing. Mr. Flora stated that the $8.00 a front foot is the figure for this year. He stated that this figure would have to be adjusted every year depending on the market. He stated that as far as the deferral status, this would have to be reviewed further. Mr. Burns stated that staff is prepared to work out the details on the assessment deferment. Councilman Billings stated that he would like to compliment staff for taking the initiative of putting this proposal together and � trying to refine it. He stated that from a general point of view, he wholeheartedly supports the efforts of staff. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if the improvement is done on 67th Avenue, if the cost would be $9.50 a front foot or $8.00 a front foot. Mr. Flora stated that the public hearing was on the improvement, the assessment hearing is not until the project is completed. He stated that if the Council established the figure of $8.00 a front foot, it would apply in this instance. Councilman Schneider stated that he is comfortable with this progosal, but he honestly thinks with the economic conditions, it may be hard to have a policy. Mayor Nee felt that the improvements were a good investment, but if the residents do not want it, that is another question. Mr. Herrick stated that if there are 75 to 80 percent of the residents that have been assessed for concrete curb and gutter, have paid for this improvement, and are asked to pay an excessive amount to repair and maintain the streets, that this was also unfair. � 23.
