Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at
7:46 p.m.
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, indicated that under Minnesota law
transferring a liquor license requires a public hearing. He stated

to see a copy of the fu11 application for liquor license

resident and is a former owner of Park Side Lounge on the east side
of St. Paul. He has also been a manager of Old Mexico, and
Blacky's restaurant, as well as Champ's in St. Paul. He indicated

FRIDL$Y CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 19, 1993 PnQe 4
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, explained that in
recommending this legislation, we were attempting to meet the
requirements contained in State laws. She indicated that in
extending solid waste collection to multi-family units, we would
also be helping to meet the tonnage requirements established by
Anoka County.
Ms. Dacy indicated that in addressing recycling in multi-family
units, a three-part strategy had been adopted. The first part of
the strategy is to require the owners of multi-family apartment
buildings having between five and twelve units to pay an eighty-
three cent per unit quarterly solid waste abatement fee. The
second part of the strategy is to require the owners of buildings
having thirteen or more units to contract for recycling services
and produce a copy of the contract when applying for their annual
rental license. The third part of the strategy is to require
recycling haulers to report their recyclables by weight and type
of material on a quarterZy basis.
Ms. Dacy described her meetings with the owners of apartment units
and indicated that letters had been mailed by Lisa Campbell,
Recycling Coordinator, to all renters in the City of Fridley.
Mr. Harold Morrow, from River Falls, Wisconsin, stated that he is
the owner of 5440 Seventh Street, a thirty-four unit apartment
building. Mr. Morrow thought that extending recycling to multiples
was a good idea. He asked, however, why we did not include the
thirty-four unit size apartment buildings under the units that were
covered by our recycling hauler.
Ms. Dacy said that it would be more cost-effective for Mr. Morrow
to hire his own contractor than to pay the City's fee. She said
that Ms . Campbell had conducted a f inancial analysis and determined
that twelve units was the point where it was more cost-effective
to allow the owners to contract out individually.
Mr. Morrow asked if we had a list of contractors and if we would
assist in identifying recycling contractors.
Ms. Dacy replied by saying that they could approach their current
solid waste contractor, or Supercycle, or call Ms. Campbell for
names of other haulers.
No other persons in the audience spoke regarding the amendment of
Chapters 11, 113 and 220 of the Fridley City Code.
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 8:00 p.m.
FR=DL$Y CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 19, 1993 Paqe 5
3. PUBLIC HEARING ON PRELIMINARY PLAT RE UEST, P.S. #93-01, BY
�1JDERSON TRUCKING SERVICES, INC.. TO REPLAT PROPERTY GENERALLY
LOCATED AT 7699 CENTRAL 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 8:01 p.m.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, indicated that the
subject property was located at the intersection of Osborne Road
and Central Avenue N.E. in Fridley. She described the surrounding
zoning.
Councilman Schneider asked her to review the zoning to the east of
the property.
Ms. Dacy replied that the zoning to the east is both C-1 and R-l.
She then indicated that the eleven-acre site is currently platted
into five lots, and that the plat was approved in 1961. The owners
are proposing to make a new plat that would reduce the number of
lots from five to three.
Ms. Dacy indicated that they are currently negotiating for the sale
of Lot 1 to the Fridley Bus Company that is currently located on
Main Street just north of Mississippi Street in Fridley. She
indicated that the proposed building for the Fridley Bus Company
will be 16,800 square feet, and that the company will be sharing
a driveway with the owners of Lot 2. She stated that the Fridley
Bus Company is anticipating a Phase II building of 13,200 square
feet, and a Phase III building of 12,000 square feet.
Ms. Dacy indicated that the Planning Commission had approved the
plat request, subject to five stipulations, which she outlined.
She stated that after review of the site plan presented by the
Fridley Bus Company, nine additional stipulations were added by
staff.
Ms. Dacy said that the Planning Commission was concerned about the
payment of water and sewer assessments for the five lots. She said
that our analysis determined that the petitioner has paid the
assessments except for the sewer assessment pertaining to Lots 2
and 3. She also indicated that documentation was found of an $817
payment, but that was for an engineering escrow account, not for
a sewer assessment. She said that the escrow was a performance
bond and was returned to the petitioner in 1972.
Ms. Dacy indicated that the Planning Commission was concerned about
the payment of a park dedication fee. She indicated that in the
records, staff found an indication of a$75 park deposit check that
FRIDL$Y CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 19, 1993 P�ge 6
was paid in 1969, and have assumed that this constitutes the
payment of the park dedication fee for the original plot.
Ms. Dacy also indicated that the petitioner is proceeding to have
some easements vacated and that the petitioner will be coming
before the City Council sometime soon.
Councilman Schneider indicated that he is concerned with repeating
the problem that the Fridley Bus Company has had with its current
residential neighbors. He noted that there are residents acrass
the street from the proposed site, and wanted to know what
assurances there were that there would not be the same problems
with the neighbors.
Ms. Dacy replied that this was discussed with the petitioner. She
said the ordinance will require screening that will consist of an
eight foot fence on top of a four foot berm. She indicated that
the fence could also be constructed on the east side of the parking
area; however, no buses are to be parked there according to
statements by Mr. Voigt. She said the petitioner does not want to
construct one. She indicated that longer term, the future
buildings on Lot 2 will screen the houses from the Fridley Bus
Company.
Mayor Nee asked if the bus company plans to be situated on Lot 1
or Lot 2.
Mr. Donald Voigt introduced himself and stated that he is the owner
of the Fridley Bus Company. He said the initial building will
contain 16,800 square feet, and upon completion, will house
eighteen to twenty buses. The Phase II building will contain
13,200 square feet, and upon completion, will house 30 to 35 buses.
He said it is his intention to house all the buses inside the
buildings. The Phase III building will be 12,000 square feet and
will permit expansion of his business.
Councilman Schneider asked whether placing the buses under cover
within buildings will correct the noise and fume problems that
exist at the present building.
Mr. Voigt said that it would.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if the parking lot east of Lot 1 will
be used.
Mr. Voigt replied that it would be used for employee parking and
occasionally for overnight bus parking.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked Mr. Voigt if there would be problems
getting buses on and off of Osborne Road.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 19, 1993 PSQe 7
Mr. Voigt said there would be no problems and described the
proposed traffic flow of buses on and off the proposed site.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if both proposed driveways were on
Osborne Road.
Mr. Voigt indicated that they were.
Mayor Nee asked how this related to the M-3 issue.
Ms. Dacy stated that when the M-3 district was created, trucking
terminals were eliminated from M-2 districts.
Councilman Schneider asked if the neighbors were notified of the
hearing tonight.
Ms. Dacy replied that the neighbors on the east and west sides of
the project were notified.
Councilman Schneider asked if a speaial use permit was required for
the project.
Ms. Dacy stated that a special use permit was not required since
the petitioner told her that there would be no exterior storage of
buses.
Councilman Schneider asked where the requirements were written.
Ms. Dacy replied that they are written in the M-1 section of the
zoning code.
Councilman Schneider asked if it was Council's only opportunity to
ask about the proposed operation.
Ms. Dacy replied that it was.
Mayor Nee asked what was proposed for Lot 2.
Ms. Dacy stated that it was not known at this time. She then
explained the use of Lot 3 and that Mr. Anderson is trying to
market Lot 2.
Councilman Schneider asked how the proposed use of the property
conforms to the Central Avenue corridor plan.
Ms. Dacy stated that it was suggested that Council consider two
alternatives for this area; an industrial alternative and a
residential alternative. The residential alternative consists of
both townhouse and single family residential development.

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 8:26 p.m.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, described the streets that would
be improved in the street reconstruction program and indicated
where they were on a map. He also described the public information
meetings held in the various neighborhoods where the street
reconstruction projects were to take place. He said that staff
explained to the residents that the streets would be thirty-two
feet wide and contain curb and gutter and that one side of the
street would be posted with "No Parking" signs in order to conform
with State requirements.
Mr. Flora indicated that the residents were told that the City
would assess only the curb and gutter portion of the project, at
a cost not to exceed $8.00 per front foot. He explained that there
are several areas were there are no assessments, and indicated that
there would be only front footage assessments; no side yard
assessments. He stated that notices were sent on tonight's meeting
to the residents who l.ived in the area of the proposed street
reconstruction projects.
Councilwoman Jorgenson indicated that when the street
reconstruction program was done last year, we considered deferring
assessments for seniors until the home the senior live in was sold.
She asked if that concept could be applied this year.
Mr. Flora replied that that was Council's prerogative. He
indicated that this should be done after the construction had been
completed and assessments defined and determined.
Mayor Nee indicated that he would identify each street involved in
the reconstruction project and would ask for any comments from
residents.

No one in the audience spoke regarding this project.
FRIDL$Y CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 19. 1993 Page 9
Brookview Drive - 67th Avenue and 68th Avenue:
Mr. Arthur Medeck, 6770 Brookview Drive N.E., stated that he
understood from Mr. Flora that his section of the street project
was not to be assessed.
Mr. Flora replied that that was correct.
Councilman Billings indicated that the tax rolls indicate that
there is no assessment for this address.
Mr. Medeck indicated that he is concerned with the removal of
parking on one side of the street and would like parking left on
his side of the street.
Mr. Flora Stated that they are proposing that parking be removed
on the west side of Brookview Drive as mailboxes and fire hydrants
are located there. He did say, however, that the City could go
either way.
Mr. Lawrence Kappel, 6796 Brookview Drive N.E., stated that he was
concerned about being assessed, and that he had no preference
regarding what side of the street had parking.
Councilwoman Jorgenson indicated that the tax rolls indicate that
there is no assessment for this property.
Lvnde Drive - Aillwind Road and Polk Street:
No one in the audience spoke regarding this project.
Monroe Street - 67th Avenue and Rice Creek Terrace:
Mr. Michael Norman, 6730 Monroe Street, said that he moved to
Fridley to avoid street construction and is against the
reconstruction project on Monroe Street. He said the street looks
fine to him. He asked why Monroe Street was selected to be in the
1993 program.
Mr. Flora answered by pointing out State, County and collector
streets on a map. He said the reason Monroe Street was selected
is that it was an aged street, with asphalt berms, poor condition
is part of the collector system, is very important for snow plowing
purposes, and because it acted as a major traffic mover for the
City.
Mr. Norman asked where the funds were coming from.
Mr. Flora indicated that there are a combination of funds,
including State money and assessment mQney.
.
FRiDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETiNG OF APRIL 19, 1993 Page 10
Mr. Norman indicated that he wanted to avoid the assessment. He
said that the taxes are already $100 per month on his property.
He stated that his total annual tax bill increased by $200 in 1993.
He said he is being assessed for something he and his wife do not
need.
Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Norman how wide his lot was.
Mr. Norman replied 100 feet, and that he would be assessed $800
over a ten-year period.
Mr. Flora explained the first through tenth year costs of the
project for Mr. Norman.
Mr. Norman asked for the rationale for the removal of parking.
Mr. Flora explained why the parking was removed on one side of the
street.
Councilman Schneider indicated that the parking was removed in
order to use state MSA money.
Mr. Norman asked if his section of the project could be put off.
Councilwoman Jorgenson said that we wanted to do that street to
preserve the base. She indicated that if we allow the streets to
deteriorate to the point where the base has eroded, street
reconstruction is much more expensive. ,
Councilman Schneider asked if we are taking advantage of state
money that is available.
Mr. Flora explained that if the project is done this year, the
property owner will not be taxed until 1994.
Councilman Schneider explained that it is more money, but that with
the assessment, it is only about $10 per month more.
Mr. Norman replied that he was concerned about his entire tax
package. He said that the school district levy increase amounted
to more than an additional $25 per month.
Mayor Nee asked how old Monroe Street is.
Mr. Flora replied that it is thirty-two years old.
Mayor Nee stated that he wished we could offer the same deal on the
street he resided on, Logan Parkway.
Mr. Norman asked if it was our goal to c�eate concrete curbs on a11
streets over a forty-year period.
FRIDL$Y CITY COIINCIL MEBTING OF APRIL 19, 1993 PaQe 11
Mr. Flora replied that it was. He said that the concrete curbs
assist in the collection and distribution of storm water to the
storm sewer system.
Ms. Jayne Kules, 6730 Monroe Street N.E., indicated that she is
married to Michael Norman. She said she had several concerns. She
complained about the notification process. She said she found out
about the hearing tonight through a neighbor.< She also indicated
that she does not see a difference between city/state money. She
said that it is all ta�ayers' money. She indicated that she and
her husband are trying to repair their home, and she feels that
other things need repairing more than the street. She asked if the
reconstruction project would be put to a vote.
Councilwoman Jorgenson explained that neighborhood meetings were
held and a petitioning process completed to gain neighborhood
input. She said she was sorry that Ms. Kules did not get a letter.
Councilman Schneider asked Ms. Kules if she got a Welcome to
Fridley packet when she moved to Fridley. She said she had.
Councilwoman Jorgenson explained that the contractor for the street
project would be contacting residents on the street to determine
whether or not the individual homeowners wanted their driveways
resurfaced while the street was being reconstructed.
Regis Drive - Reciis Lane and Hathawav Lane:
No one in the audience spoke regarding this project.
Regis Lane - Reqis Drive and Matterhorn Drive:
Mr. John Ward, 5691 Regis Drive, stated that he was not opposed to
the street reconstruction but that he was concerned about the
process. He said he put in a new driveway two years ago, and he
assumes that a portion of his driveway will be replaced as a result
of this project.
Mr. Flora replied that he was correct.
Mr. Ward asked what will happen to the grade of the street.
Mr. Flora replied that the grade will be raised about one inch and
that the new driveway will be matched to the street.
Mr. Ward indicated that he had a Maple tree in the front of his
property and wanted to know what the City would do to help preserve
the Maple tree.
Mr. Flora replied that the contractor will only cut back about two
feet into the boulevard, and that this will not impact the Maple
tree.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEBTiNG OF APRIL 19, 1993 Page 12
Mr. Ward asked about access during reconstruction.
Mr. Flora replied that Mr. Ward would always have a paved surface
to drive on and access to his property except during the concrete
curing process.
Mr. Ward stated that he had a concern about the potential quality
of the work. He said he had some problems in another city with the
quality of the city contractor's work.
Councilwoman Jorgenson said that if he is worried about the quality
of work he should talk to the residents on Hathaway Lane.
Mr. Ward said he had done that and was assured that last year's
project was of good quality.
Mr. Alvars Stumbris, 1200 Regis Lane, asked when the assessment was
due.
Councilwoman Jorgenson replied that it would be due one year from
now in October.
Mr. Stumbris asked if we knew who would do the work.
Mr. Flora said they did not know at the present time.
Mr. Stumbris asked about the contractor doing the driveways.
Mr. Flora explained that the contractor will contact him and ask
whether or not Mr. Stumbris would like to have his driveway done
at the same time as the overlay work is done on the street.

contractor's process for improving driveway entrances and how long
the contractor would take.
Mr. Vernon Munsinger, 1326 - 53rd Avenue N.E., said that the
project was a real bargain, but he is concerned about speeding on
53rd Avenue. He said there are no cross streets on 53rd Avenue,
and the street has become a race track. He requested that we put
a speed bump on 53rd Avenue between Matterhorn and Fillmore.
FRIDLBY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 19, 1993 Pa e 13
Mr. Flora replied that we do not put speed bumps on City streets
because of liability issues.
Mr. Munsinger said that there was a location near Columbia Heights
High School that had a speed bump.
Mr. Flora said that was an exception, and that they were still
reluctant to install speed bumps.
Brookview Drive - Mississippi Street to Rice Creek Terrace:
Mr. Delbert Harris, 6542 Brookview Drive, stated that his main
concern was for two Oak trees in his yard that are eight feet from
the existing street.
Mr. Flora responded that his Oak trees would not be in danger from
the project, since the widening will take place on the east side.

Councilman Billinqs asked if Anoka County was bumping up against
the maximum amounts allowed for human services funding under CDBG
guidelines.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, said that she recently
talked with JoAnne Wright. She said Ms. Wright notified the cities
that they would be able to fund all of the cities' human services
requests, and that to date she saw no problem with bumping against
a cap.
Councilman Billings asked Ms. Dacy if there were any deadlines for
reallocation of these funds.
Ms. Dacy said there were none.
Councilman Billings asked if there were any public hearing
requirements for reallocation of these funds.
Ms. Dacy replied that they were not technically required in this
situation.
Councilman Billings asked if we should have a public hearing. He
said wouldn't using the allocation for Human Services purposes
cause less problems than transferring the money to a new subject
area--mainly, housing.
Ms. Dacy agreed.
FRIDL$Y CITY COQNCIL MBETINa OF APRIL 19, 1993 Paae 16
Mayor Nee asked what Human Services was getting, and Ms. Dacy
stated that she needed to verify the numbers.
Councilman Schneider indicated that he was against the amendment.
He said that Council stated housing was their highest priority.
He said he finds it difficult to aoncentrate on too many top
priorities at the same time, and he finds further that this is the
consistent point that Council has been telling staff.
Councilwoman Jorgensan indicated that recently an unexpected
$30,000 received in CDBG funding was put into the housing program.
She said that the $1,684 are funds that were previously allocated
for human services. She said she has no problem putting it there.
She said that we need to have a balance between housing and human
services.
Ms. Dacy said that she will contact JoAnne Wright regarding the
requirements for a public hearing.
Councilman Billings said that he wants to clearly emphasize that
he has no problems with the housing program. He said it was a fine
program. He indicated, however, that since the amount of $1,684
was originally allocated to human services two years ago, he
prefers to put it there.
Councilman Schneider said that he is not opposed to human services,
but feels strongly that the number one priority should be housing.

Mr. Hunt said the Charter Commission is still working on it, and
that they are using language suggested by Councilmember Schneider

15. RESOLUTION NO. 33-1993 ADOPTING A DRUG AND ALCOHOL POLICY FOR
EMPLOYEES OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY:
Mr. Hunt, Assistant to the City Manager, explained the proposed
drug and alcohol policy. He said that in 1988 a federal law was
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCiL MSETiNG OF APRiL 19, 1993 Paqe 18
passed that requires us to have a policy indicating that we will
not tolerate the use of drugs in the work place. Additionally,
1989 state requirements established the need for local drug testing
policies.
Mr. Hunt said that under the policy before the Council, the City
will not tolerate drug and alcohol usage during working hours. He
said that the policy establishes procedures for testing for drugs
and alcohol where there is a reasonable suspicion of the use of
drugs or alcohol. He also said the policy provides for random
testing for alcohol and drug use. He said the random tests will
impact truck drivers and all employees who have commercial driver's
licenses as well as department managers and public safety
personnel.
Mr. Hunt indicated that he held eleven meetings with various groups
of employees. He said that Cyrus Smythe, the City's labor
relations consultant, had considerable input into the draft of the
ordinance and that our ordinance was compared to several other
cities. He said he felt that with the considerable input we have
had, our drug and alcohol policy is one of the best in the area.
Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Hunt to characterize the reaction
of employees at the meetings.
Mr. Hunt said the reaction was generally positive.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked who was impacted by random testing.
Mr. Hunt repeated the names of the employee groups that would be
impacted.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked whether the lifeguards were included.
Mr. Hunt indicated that under the drug and alcohol policy, any
person on the City payroll for whom there is a reasonable suspicion
of drug and alcohol use is covered by the policy.
Councilwoman Jorgenson said she wanted to make sure that it affects
summer employees.
Councilman Steve Billings asked if it covers the City Council.
Mr. Hunt indicated that it did. He stated that drinking at
different functions such as ANIlK receptions was permissible as long
as drinking was considered part of the function.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, asked about the definition of "under
the influence" contained Section II(C)(15) in the policy.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETiNG OF APRIL 19, 1993 Paqe 19
Mr. Hunt referred Mr. Herrick to Section II(C)(12) under which the
levels of alcohol consumption are outlined as are the technical
parts of the State statute. Mr. Hunt then gave examples of the
number of drinks allowed for individuais of different weight
levels.
Councilman Schneider asked if prescription drugs were allowed.
Mr. Hunt stated that there is no problem with prescription drugs
as long as the prescribed dosages are adhered to.
Councilman Schneider pointed out that at prescription levels,
firefighters cannot fight fires effectively.
Mr. Hunt reiterated a specific policy in use for the Fridley Fire
Department.
Councilman Schneider said that pharmacists are sometimes
inconsistent in applying "do not drive" stickers to drugs, he also
has some questions as to how the policy is to be applied. He said
he thought the fine points would be worked out as we apply the
policy in practice.
Mr. Hunt said the key to prescription drugs is if the drugs are
used in accordance with the prescription.
Councilman Schneider asked what would happen if a councilmember
tested positive. He asked if a Council member could be fired.
Mr. Hunt replied that it was a matter for the Council to address
as a whole and not for staff. He said that is not covered by the
policy.

Conduct Public Hearing for Vacation Request,
SAV #90-02, by the City of Fridley
The Planning Commission conducted an informal hearing regarding
the vacation of Broad Avenue at its April 5, 1993, meeting. The
Commission voted unanimously to recommend that the City Council
approve the vacation of Broad Avenue and its subsequent combination
with vacant Lot 26 to the east to create a buildable lot. The
Commission directed staff to investigate locating the bikeway/
walkway along the east side of Lot 26 and to work with the
Wetterlinds to achieve a solution which would achieve both the City
of Fridley's and the Wetterlinds' goals.
Discussion with the Wetterlinds
The Wetterlinds were opposed to the request because they believed
they would not be able to split their property. The Wetterlinds'
property is 110 ft. by 300 ft. which affords them an opportunity
to create a lot to the rear of the existing single family dwelling
unit. Staff requested that the City of Coon Rapids analyze the lot
split request with or without the Broad Avenue vacation. If Broad
Avenue is vacated, the CIty of Coon Rapids confirmed that the
Wetterlinds will have less difficulty in splitting their lot due
to the setback requirements in the Coon Rapids zoning ordinance.
Staff inet with Mr. and Mrs. Wetterlind c
discuss the options presented by the City
Wetterlinds agreed that it would be easier :
property if the City of Fridley vacated Brc
like to acquire a 10 foot wide triangle fr
which would provide improved frontage alor
Broad Avenue and Lafayette Street (see attac
2). The Wetterlinds also agreed that they
bikeway was located on the east side of Lot
>n April 29, 1993, to
of Coon Rapids. The
=or them to split their
ad Avenue. They would
�m the City of Fridley
ig the intersection of
hed solution maps 1 and
would prefer it if the
26.
The Reiersons, who own Lot 25 on the east side of the property, are
still determining whether they are interested in buying the lot.
They would prefer not to have the bikeway/walkway near them also.
Vacation Request, SAV #90-02, by the City of Fridley
April 29, 1993
Page 2
Staff maintains the original recommendation that an eight foot
bikeway/walkway be constructed along the west right-of-way line of
Broad Avenue, unless testimony at the public hearing supports an
alternative location.
Conveyance Procedure
Staff contacted Virgil Herrick, City Attorney, as to the
appropriate procedure for conveying the combined vacated Broad
Avenue and Lot 26 to a new owner. The attorney recommended that
the City of Fridley declare the property as "excess" (ordinance
required) as outlined in Section 12.06 of the City Charter and sell
the property to a willing buyer. The City could then reimburse
itself for the costs associated with acquiring Lot 26. (Please see
the enclosed memos from the City Attorney.)
Anoka County has also confirmed that Lot 26 was acquired by the
City for a"non-specific" purpose as defined in the tax forfeit
statutes. The City can convey title free and clear.
City Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing for
the Broad Avenue vacation. Staff also recommends that the City
Council direct staff to complete the following actions:
1. Adopt an ordinance vacating Broad Avenue.
2. Adopt an ordinance declaring Lot 26 and the vacated
right-of-way as excess property.
3. Combine for tax purposes the vacated Broad Avenue with
Lot 26.
4. Negotiate and convey a 10 foot wide triangle to the
Wetterlinds along the westerly portion of vacated Broad
Avenue.
5. Sell remainder of lot to willing buyer and retain
easement for bikeway/walkway.
6. Construct a bikeway/walkway on either side of the
combined right-of-way and Lot 26 and install a chain link
fence on either side of said bikeway. The City should
also work with the City of Coon Rapids to improve the
existing bikeway/walkway located in Coon Rapids.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Barbara Dacy
FROM: Virgil C. Herrick
RE: Disposal of Lot 26, Block C, Riverview Heights
DATE: April 6, 1993
This memorandum is in response to your inquiry dated March 18,
1993, regarding the above subject. It is my understanding that
the city has acquired the above parcel and wishes to sell it
together with a vacated road easement which when combined will
make a buildable site. I further understand that the council
wishes to use the monev obtained from the sale for the scattered-
site acquisition program.
You have asked me a number of questions which I understand to be
as follows:
l. Should the property be sold by the City or transferred:-
to the HRA?
2. What restrictions are there on the use of the proceeds
of the sale? and
3. What procedure must be followed in selling the
property?
It is my opinion that the simplest procedure would be to have the
City sell the above parcel and the vacated easement. The sale
would have to be made pursuant to Section 12.06 of the Fridley
City Charter. This section requires that the City sell the
property by an ordinance. It further states that the proceeds
shall be used to retire any outstanding indebtedness incurred by
the City in purchasing the property. You indicated that the City
paid $1,902.51 in acquiring the property. Technically, this
«<vi12y 'viiaS �iai� fra�n 2i:iS�iiay iui..�a aI1Ci i8 Ilt�.}, ct CUi��iit
indebtedness, however, it is my opinion that the City could
reimburse the general revenue for this sum of money together with
any expenses that it has incurred in holding the property or in
conducting the vacation of the adjoining easement and the cost of
selling the property. Any balance remaining could be used by the
City or transferred to the HRA to be used for the scattered-site
acquisition program.
Public bids are not required for the sale of this property. If
the City sells the property it should conform to the requirements
of Section 12.06 of the Charter. If the property is transferred
to the HRA (which I do not recommend), the HR.A can dispose of
real estate subject to the terms of Minnesota Statute 469.029. I
have recently done a memorandum for the Columbia Heights HR.A on
1D
the disposal of real estate. I am including a copy of that
memorandum to you. This outlines the procedure for the HRA to
follow in the sale of real estate.
I hope the above answers yours questions. If not, please contact
either Greg or myself.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Grant F. Ernelius
Columbia Heights HR.A
FROM: Virgil C. Herrick
RE: Sale of HRA Property
DATE: March 19, 1993
This memorandum is in response to your telephone request for
information regarding the procedure to follow in the sale of
vacant scattered residential lots owned by the HRA. You asked me
whether it was necessary to obtain bids on the sale o� these
properties. It is not necessary to obtain bids before the HRA
sells the property, however, there is a statutory procedure that
must be followed. This is outlined as follows:
Minnesota Statutes 469.029 is a part of the Housing and
Redevelopment Statute. This section is entitled
Disposal of Property. This section provides in part as
follows:
1. The HRA in accordance with its redevelopment plan
may sell vacant property at a price that takes
into consideration the estimated fair marke� value
of the land.
2. Any such sale may be made without public bidding
but only after a public hearing. A public hearing
requires a published notice by the HRA at least
once not less than ten days nor more than 30 days
prior to the date of the heax-ing.
3. Every sale shall provide tha� the purchaser shall
carry out the approved project area redevelopment
plan and no use shall be made of the land which
does not conform to the approved plan. The HRA in
the sales document may include terms and
conditions which will provide assurance of the use
consistent with the plan; the HRA may also
require assurance of financial and legal ability
of the purchaser to carry out and conform to the
plan. These provisions may be obligations that
will run with the title to the land.
4. Until the HRA certifies that all improvements have
been finished in conformance with the plan, the
purchaser shall not convey the area without the
consent of the HRA. �
1F
� .
5. As security for its fulfillment of the agreement,
the HRA shall require the purchaser to furnish a
performance bond with the surety as the authority
may approve.
6. Subdivisions 9 and 10 of Section 469.029 relate to
the sale of properties to persons of low and
moderate income. Subdivision 9 provides that the
property shall be made available at a price which
may take into consideration the estimated fair
market value of the real estate as determined
pursuant to Section 469.032. The sale at the
estimated fair market value is not mandatory.
7. Subdivision 10 requires the HRA on or before
December 31st of each year to take a survey of all
lands owned by it and to determine what lands are
in excess of foreseeable needs. A description of
each parcel found to be in excess shall be made a
matter of public record. Any low or moderate
income residents or non-profit housing corporation
shall upon request be provided with a list of the
parcels available.
8. Section 469.032 provides that prior to the sale of
land in a project area the HRA shall determine the
price at which it will sell any parcels and place
an estimated fair market value upon each piece or
tract. The section states that the value may be
made by two or more appraisers, or it may be done
by the appraisal service of the municipality.
This provision is not binding upon the HRA.
CONCLUSION
The HRA can sell these p�operties without taking public bids.
The statute suggests than an appraisal be obtained but the
authority is not bound by the appraisal and may sell the property
for a lower figure. It is required that notice and a public
hearing be held before the sale or disposal of the property.
I believe that this answers your question. If you have any
additional questions, please give me a call.

Staff Report
SAV #90-02, by the City of Fridley
Page 2
Reauest
The City of Fridley is proposing to vacate that portion of the
Broad Avenue right-of-way which lies north of Lafayette Street and
ends at the Fridley/Coon Rapids border. This is in response to an
offer from Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Reierson, owner of 621 Lafayette
Street to purchase Lot 26, Block C, Riverview Heights. Lot 26 is
a tax forfeit lot and is currently owned by the City of Fridley.
The City of Fridley can vacate Broad Avenue and combine it with Lot
26 to create a buildable single family lot.
Site
The site is currently zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling and the
adjacent property to the north, west, and south is also zoned R-1,
Single Family Dwelling. The neighbor in Coon Rapids to the west
of the Broad Avenue right-of-way has fenced and maintained the
public right-of-way. Along the east right-of-way line is a heavily
traveled foot path which connects to a five foot bituminous
bikeway/walkway in Coon Rapids. Lot 26 is located east of the
Broad Avenue right-of-way and is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling
and is heavily wooded.
Analvsis �
This portion of the Broad Avenue right-of-way was discussed by both
communities in the early 1970's. The previously-mentioned fence
was constructed in 1971 by the westerly neighbor. At that time,
the City of Coon Rapids also constructed the concrete driveway
within the Coon Rapids portion of the Broad Avenue right-of-way.
In 1973, the City of Fridley received a vacation request from Kay
Olson which was never completed. Olson was the owner of Lot 26,
Block C at that time.
In 1974, the City of Coon Rapids proposed to reopen the Broad
Avenue right-of-way and construct Broad Avenue from Mississippi
Boulevard in Coon Rapids to Lafayette Street in Fridley. At that
time, the Fridley City Council received two petitions; one which
opposed the reopening and the other which approved of the reopening
of Broad Avenue. At that time, the adjoining property owners felt
that extending Broad Avenue to Mississippi Boulevard wouid provide
better traffic access to Mississippi Boulevard without having to
access East River Road. The record is not clear as to who made the
decision but the street was obviously not constructed.
The City has four alternatives to resolve this issue:
1. Leave the property as it is now.
1K
Staff Report
SAV #90-02, by the City of Fridley
Page 3
2. The City could vacate the right-of-way and combine
it with Lot 26 to create a buildable lot. This
buildable lot would then need to be declared
"excess" by the City Council and conveyed to a new
property owner.
3. The City could vacate the right-of-way and sell it
to the westerly neighbor.
4. The City could work with the City of Coon Rapids in
extending Broad Avenue to Mississippi Boulevard.
Please note that under state law, a vacated right-of-way typically
is divided in half according to properties on either side of the
right-of-way. However, this is only in the case where the
properties are entirely within the original plat. In this case,
the Coon Rapids property to the west is in a different. plat.
Therefore, the entire right-of-way will accrue to Lot 26, Block C,
which the City now owns. Whichever alternative the City chooses
to pursue, it has been recommended by the City of Coon Rapids (see
attached letter) that the City of Fridley work to maintain a
pedestrian access from the existing bituminous bikeway to Lafayette
Street. This will provide safe pedestrian access for both Coon
Rapids residents visiting Fridley parks and vice versa.
Planning Commission Action - May 16, 1990
The Planning Commission previously discussed this request at its
May 16, 1990 meeting. Eleven neighbors attended the meeting
including Mr. Richard Bunan, legal representative for Mr. and Mrs.
Wetterlund of 8300 Mississippi Boulevard in Coon Rapids. The
Wetterlund's own the property adjacent to Broad Avenue. The
Planning Commission directed staff to answer several questions
prior to the item being rescheduled for Planning Commission
consideration. Those questions and their subsequent answers are
as follows:
1. What will the lot area be for the proposed buildable
lot?
10,081.46 square feet
2. Will the lot still be buildable if the City reserves
a 15 foot bikeway/walkway easement over a portion
of the proposed lot?
1L
Staff Report
SAV #90-02, by the City of Fridley
Page 4 _
Yes. Adequate buildable area exists
for a typical size residence. The
City of Coon Rapids has advised us
that it may be possible to construct
a portion of the bikeway/walkway in
the Coon Rapids right-of-way, thereby
eliminating the need for the easement
along the northerly property line.
3. How will the lot area of the proposed buildable lot
compare to other lots in the area?
Please see the attachment entitled
"Lot areas of adjacent parcels". The
proposed lot is larger than the
average size of the six lots in the
attached list (9,058 square feet).
4. What is the cost to relocate the overhead utility
poles and pathway in comparison to the market value
of the proposed lot?
NSP inspected the property and
determined that the utility pole
could be removed without adverse
impact to utilities. NSP does not
have any overhead lines attached to
the utility pole. However, telephone
and cable TV service would need to
be relocated. These utilities have
not been contacted regarding the
proposed cost of relocation, however,
the cost should be minimal.
5. What is the actual market value of Lot 26?
Combined, Lot 26 and the Broad Avenue
right-of-way would be valued between
$17,500 - $23,000.
6. What is the actual market value of the vacated
right-of-way?
Because the existing right-of-way is
platted for a street, a value has not
been assigned. Value is created,
however, when it is vacated and
combined �ith the adjacent p�operty.

7. Are there any utilities located within the Broad
Avenue right-of-way or Lot 26?
There are no sewer or water services
to Lot 26; however, utilities are
located within the Lafayette right-
of-way. The City paid $1,900 for
delinquent special assessments in
1986. The Engineering Department has
estimated that it would cost $3,000
to provide water and sewer services.
8. If Coon Rapids were vacate its portion of Broad
Avenue to which propert(ies) would the right-of-way
revert?
The right-of-way would revert to Lot
26, Block C, Riverview Heights in
Fridley and Lot 27, Block C,
Riverview Heights in Coon Rapids.
Housing Programs
Since this request was considered in 1990, the City Council and HRA
have developed a variety of housing programs. The housing programs
include rehabilitation grants and loans, increased rental
inspections, obtaining other sources of state and federal funds,
and a scattered-site acquisition program. Scattered-site
acquisition means the HRA and the City acquire abandoned or vacant
properties to demolish blighted buildings or to create
opportunities for new single family homes. This parcel is a good
candidate for the scattered-site acquisition program.
Staff is currently researching with the City Attorney's office the
process necessary to have the City convey the parcel to the HRA who
would then conduct a process to sell the lot for a single family
dwelling. At this time, it is not known whether or not we will be
required to go through a formal "bidding process�� or if the HRA can
negotiate directly with interested parties just like any other
property owner.
Of the four options identified earlier in the report, staff is
recommending that the Planning Commission consider Option #2 as the
best use for the property.

Staff Report
SAV #90-02, by the City of Fridley
Page 6
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval
of the vacation request to the City Council with the following
conditions:
1. A ten foot bikeway/walkway easement shall be reserved along
the westerly and northerly lot lines of the vacated right-of-
way and an eight foot bituminous bikeway/walkway be
constructed and a four foot high chain link fence shall be
constructed on either side of the bikeway.
2. The vacated right-of-way should be combined with Lot 26 to
create a buildable lot.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recoYnmend approval to
the City Council. The Commission recommended that vacated Broad
Avenue be combined with City-owned Lot 26. The Commission also
directed staff to investigate locating the bikeway along the east
side of Lot 26 and to respond to the issues raised by Mr. and Mrs.
Wetterlund, owners of the adjacent lot to the west in Coon Rapids.
Staff Update
Staff completed research on the issues discussed by the Planning
Commission at its April 5, 1993 meeting.
BikewayJWalkway
Staff investigated the cost to install the bikeway along the
east lot line of Lot 26. The cost to install an 8 foot path
is $1300. A narrower path would be less expensive and would
minimize the impact to the trees on the lot.
The Commission also inquired as to the cost of a 6 foot high
chain link fence as opposed to a 4 foot high chain link fence.
For Option 1, the path on the west side of vacated Broad
Avenue, the fence would cost $4200. The Option 2 fence would
cost $2760. The Reierson's prefer a six foot fence for added
protection; however, it should be noted that a taller fence
creates more of a "tunnel".
Wetterlind Lot Split
Staff contacted the Planning Staff in the City of Coon Rapids
to request their assistance in order to analyze the
possibility of splitting the Wetterlind's property. This
analysis was conducted with two scenarios in mind: 1j Broad
Avenue not vacated, and 2) the vacation of Broad Avenue.
10
Staff Report
SAV #90-02, by the City of Fridley
Page 7
If Broad Avenue is not vacated, the setback requirements of
the zoning district would leave a buildable area of 20 feet
on the Wetterlind's property. This would require the granting
of variances or the rezoning of the property prior to the
construction of a dwelling unit.
If Broad Avenue is vacated, the setback requirements allow a
larger buildable area, whereby no or minimal variances would
be reguired prior to the construction of a dwelling unit. In
addition, if the City of Fridley were to deed a 10 foot
triangle from the vacated right of way to the Wetterlind's (at
a negotiated price), access to the lot and the lot's
aesthetics would be improved.
Property Conveyance
The City Attorney has indicated that the City should conduct
the excess property procedure as outlined in Section 12.06 of
the City Charter to convey the property to a new owner. The
City would have the right to reimburse itself for any expenses
incurred in the process. The City would then convey the
remaining proceeds to the HRA for the scattered site
acquisition program.
Citv Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing
for the vacation request.

Subject: Vacation Request, SAV #90-02
Dear Property Owner:
You may recall receiving a notice in 1990 regarding the vacation
of Broad Avenue N.E. north of Lafayette Street N.E. by the City of
Fridley (please see enclosed location map). The Planning
Commission conducted a public hearing on May 16, 1990 regarding
this issue in which the commission tabled the request. The Fridley
City Council has requested that the item be removed from the table
and reconsidered by the Planning Commission. Staff is recommending
that the City take the following actions regarding this item:
1. Broad Avenue N.E. should be vacated from Lafayette Street N.E.
to the Coon Rapids border.
2. The City should retain a 15 foot bikeway/walkway easement
along the west and north property lines (see enclosed map).
3. The City should construct an eight foot wide bituminous
bikeway and walkway to link the existing pathway from Coon
Rapids to Lafayette Street N.E. A chain link fence should
also be constructed adjacent to the bikeway.
4. The City should combine the remaining portion of vacated Broad
Avenue N.E. with City-owned Lot 26. Once the combination has
� occurred, the City should sell it as a buildable lot for the
construction of a single family dwelling.
This item will be considered by the Fridley Planning Commission at
its March 24, 1993 meeting. The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m.
in the City Council Chambers at the Fridley Municipal Center, 6431
University Avenue N.E. If you have any questions regarding this
subject, please contact me at 572-3593.

A RESOLITrION CONCII�iING THE PROPOSID VACATION OF A
PORTION OF BROAD AVENUB BY TfiE CITY OF FBIDLEY
W'HL'R�AS, the City of Fridley has requested comments from the City of Coon
Rapids concerning a proposal by the City of Fridley to vacate
that part of Broad Avenue that lies within Fridley; and
W'iiEREAS, in 1971� the City of Coon Rapids, after receipt of petition,
closed that portion o£ Broad Avenue within the City of Coon
Rapids, but in 1974 constructed a pathway to allow pedestrian
access; and
WI�REAS, the City Council, after due deliberation and consideration of
staff recommendations, finds that the continued maintenance. of
sai@ pathway is feasibZe, necessary and convenient to its
citizens, as well as to the City's neighbors in the City of
Fridley. � �
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Coon Rapids City Council that the
City of Coon Rapids will not oppose the proposed vacation if a
- pedestrian and bicycle pathway easement is maintained and if the
lot abutting the easement on the west retains at least twenty
feet of frontage on Broad Avenue opposite Lafayette Street.

Vaca,6on af Broad Avenue in t�ity of Fridley
March 23,1993
The City af Fridley is (again) proposing to vacate that part af Broad Avcnue between
Lafayette Street and Mississippi Ba�ulevard that lies within �ridley.
pISCUSSIaN
The vacated right af way would tre cc�mhir�ed with the adjacent subsiandard lot to fo� a
buildable parcel. This vacarion was �rst propos�d in 1.99�. At that time Resolution 90-70
was adapted expressing support for the vac�tion if � pedestrian and bicycle path e�seriaent
were maintained and if the adjac�nt Lat 21 retained ZO feet of &ontage on Broad Avenu�
sc� it couid be split into two Iots if the owner desired. (A capy of the xesolution and Staff
repart is attachetL)
At this time Fridley is proposin� not only to provid� the eascment but also to im�rovc it
with a fence and paved path connecting to the paved path in Coon Rapids. They �re
proposing to plac� the gartion of the new paih that wylt run east-west within Fridley. I
suggested that it might be placec� {within Broad Avenue) in Coan Rapids. This could be
donc without remaving any tY'ees and wauld make the Fridley )at more attractiv�. If Fridley
wants ta da this it can be h�ndled administrarively.
Lot 2i would be lE�t with onty 18 feet of frontage on �road Avenue. I pointed out the
previaus requ�st for 20 feet to Fridley Staff.
The Fridl�y Planning Commission is holding a pubiic he�ring an this on March 24. We
forwarded notiees to Coon R�pids residents within 350 feet.

IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON RONDRICR
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
Ms. McPherson stated the City of Fridley is proposing to vacate
that portion of the Broad Avenue right-of-way which lies north of
Lafayette Street and ends at the Fridley/Coon Rapids border. Mr.
and Mrs. Gerald Reierson own 621 Lafayette Street which is the
property directly adjacent to the City-owned lot, Lot 26, Block C,
Riverview Heights. In 1990, Mr. and Mrs. Reierson offered to
purchase Lot 26 from the City to combine it with their parcel and
possibly construct a larger home. At that time, the City decided
to evaluate the possibility of vacating Broad Avenue and combining
it with Lot 26 to create a buildable single family lot.
Ms. McPherson stated there were various land use requests regarding
Broad Avenue prior to the City's request. In 1973, the City
received a vacation request from Kay Olson who owned Lot 26 at that
time. That vacation request was never completed. In 1974, the
City of Coon Rapids proposed to reopen the Broad Avenue right-of-
way north of the City of Coon Rapids/City of Fridley border and

eliminating the need for the easement
along the northerly property line.
How will the lot area of the proposed buildable lot
compare to other lots in the area?
Please see the attachment entitled
"Lot areas of adjacent parcels".
The proposed lot is larger than the
average�size of the six lots in the
attached list (9,058 square feet).
What is the cost to relo.cate the overhead utility
poles and pathway in comparison to the market value
of the proposed lot?
NSP inspected the property and
determined that the utility pole
could be removed without adverse
impact to utilities. NSP does not
have any overhead lines attached to
the utility pole. However, telephone
and cable TV service would need to
be relocated. These utilities have
not been contacted regarding the
proposed cost of relocation, however,
the cost should b�e minimal.
What is the actual market value of Lot 26?
Combined, Lot 26 and the Broad Avenue
right-of-way would be valued between
$17,500 - $23,000.
What is the actual market value of the vacated
right-of-way?
Because the existing right-of-way is
platted for a street, a value has not
been assigned. Value is created,
however, when it is vacated and
combined with the adjacent property.
Are there any utilities located within the Broad
Avenue right-of-way or Lot 26?
There are no sewer or water services
to Lot 26; however, utilities are
located within the Lafayette right-
of-way. The City paid $1,900 for
delinquent special assessments in
1986. The Engi�eering Department has

would depreciate their property. They hope the City will give them
some consideration.
Ms. McPherson showed on the map how City staff has .proposed the
easement to be retained for the bikeway/walkway. She stated that
in conversations with Coon Rapids staff, they have suggested that
there is an opportunity to extend the bikeway/walkway north and do
a gentle slope to connect to the existing path on the Coon Rapids'
side.
Mr. Wetterlund stated he would like to purchase the westerly
portion of the street, and Mr. Reierson who owns the property at
621 Lafayette has been trying to purchase the easterly portion of
the street. What is the difference if the City sells the property
to them or to someone else?
Mr. Saba stated he believed a buildable lot would create a better
looking area. It would help get rid of the junk and debris that
accumulates in that area now.
Ms. Sherek asked the estimated market value on the property.
Ms. McPherson stated the estimated market value ranges from $17, 500
to $23,000.
Ms. Sherek stated the City obviously wants to maximize what it can
get for the property. If the property was split and sold to the
two adjacent property owners, the City would probably be asking
$10,000 for each portion. Is that property worth $10,000 to Mr.
Wetterlund and Mr. Reierson? She stated this piece of property
gives the HRA a property for scattered site acquisition for a
single family home. It is getting more and more difficult to find
places in Fridley to build single family homes.
Mr. Wetterlund stated that this would still depreciate his
property. It also cuts off his rear lot.
Ms. McPherson stated that currently Mr. Wetterlund's lot has
approximately 18 feet of frontage between where the City is
proposing to vacate Broad Avenue and the lot to the south. The
City of Coon Rapids has requested that the City of Fridley work to
provide Mr. Wetterlund with the minimum 20 foot street frontage,
so that if Mr. Wetterlund chooses at some time to split his lot,
he would have the required street frontage. City staff believes
that is possible.
Ms. Dacy stated that in 1990, the neighborhood wanted the
bikeway/walkway con�ection. If a new bikeway/walkway is
constructed and the City acknowledges Mr. Wetterlund's reguest,
instead of constructing it on the west side of the street next to
the Wetterlund lot, it could be constructed on the east side of
Lot 26.
� ��
PLANNING COMMISSION ME$TING, MARCH 24, 1993 PAQE 13
it is worth determining once and for all if the street should be
connected, then they can direct staff to hold a public hearing.
Mr. Sielaff stated there is the issue of fairness to the neighbors.
Maybe they should hold a public hearing so there is a fair hearing.
He, too, would like to bring this issue to a closure.
Mr. Kondrick stated he believed the best location for the
bikeway/walkway is between Lots 25 and 26 and to combine Lot 26
with the vacated right-of-way for a buildable lot.
Mr. Reierson stated that relocating the bikeway/walkway to the east
side of Lot 26 would mean cutting down all the trees that currently
shade his house. In addition to the trees, there is quite a change
in elevation.
Mr. Wetterlund stated that if a new house is build on the level
area which he has maintained and which is right next to his lot,
then any new lot he might want to create would be worth nothing.
Ms. Dacy suggested an alternative for the new proposed buildable
lot and any new lot for the Wetterlunds by creating a small,
modified cul-de-sac at the intersection of Lafayette and Broad.
Ms. Sherek stated Ms. Dacy's suggestion was a very good one. Ma�be
in the process of vacating Broad Avenue, they could create a cul-
de-sac to improve access to any new lot.
Mr. Wetterlund stated he liked the cul-de-sac idea better than what
was being previously proposed.
Ms. Sherek stated staff will have to look at the properties to see
if this alternative for a new lot is feasible.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to recommend to City
Council approval of vacation request, SAV #90-02, to vacate Broad
Avenue north of Lafayette Street by the City of Fridley, based on
the above discussion and based on the modified proposal by staff
to create a cul-de-sac at the intersection of Lafayette Street and
Broad Avenue and to consider relocating the bikeway/walkway between
Lots 25 and 26.

2. CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION SAV #90-02 BY THE CITY OF
FRIDLEY•.
To vacate that part of Broad Avenue lying north of the
westerly extension of the southeast line of Lot 26, Block C,
Riverview Heights and lying southerly of the westerly
extension of the northwest line of said Lot 26, Block C,
Riverview Heights, generally located north of Lafayette Street
and south of Mississippi Boulevard.
Ms. McPherson stated the purpose of this meeting is to gather as
much testimony and information from the surrounding property owners
as possible. The Fridley City Manager is working with the Coon
Rapids City Manager regarding this issue, so staff is recommending
that the Planning Commission not take any action at this meeting,
but rather just gather information from the neighborhood.
Ms. McPherson stated the City of Fridley is proposing to vacate
that portion of the Broad Avenue right-of-way which lies north of
Lafayette Street in Fridley and ends at the Coon Rapids/Fridley
border. This is in response to a letter the City received from a
neighbor and property owner, Gerald Reierson, 621 Lafayette Street,
who offered to purchase Lot 26 from the City for approximately
$500. The City is looking at possibly combining Lot 26 with the
vacated right-of-way to create a buildable lot for a single family
home.
Ms. McPherson stated the site is currently zoned R-1, Single Family
Dwelling, as is the surrounding properties to the north, east, and
south. Currently, within the right-of-way, the neighbor to the
west in Coon Rapids has fenced and maintained the public right-of-
way. In addition, there is a foot path along the east line of the
right-of-way which connects to a five foot bituminous bikeway/
walkway which the City of Coon Rapids constructed in 1974.
Ms. McPherson stated the previously mentioned fence was constructed
in 1971. In 1973, the City of Fridley received a similar vacation
request from Kay Olson, the previous owner oF Lot 26, before the
City of Fridley acquired it as a tax forfeit lot. This vacation
was never completed. In 1974, the City of Coon Rapids proposed to
� �
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 16, 1990 PAGE 11
to Lot 26 and half added to Lot 21 in Coon Rapids, would Lot 26
still be a buildable lot?
Mr. Michele stated it would not be. It would still below the 9,000
sq. ft. minimum buildable lot size.
Mr. Dahlberg asked the intention of the City of Coon Rapids
relative to the remainder of the right-of-way between Mississippi
Boulevard and this area that is question?
Ms. McPherson stated the neighbor to the northwest currently has
a concrete driveway constructed within the public right-of-way, and
the bituminous pathway runs along the easternmost right-of-way
line. At this time, staff does not know the true intentions of the
City of Coon Rapids, however, they know that the Coon Rapids City
Manager is going to be discussing this item on May 22, 1999, with
the.Coon Rapids City Council in response to a letter the Fridley
City Manager, William Burns, sent to him raising some questions
about this issue.
Mr. Jerry LaPlante, 604 Lafayette Street, stated that he was at the
Coon Rapids City Council meeting when the owner of the west lot
fenced off that property. The neighbors protested, and the City
Council made the owner put in a gate. The owner also built a slab
for parking, and the City Council said he could use that land, but
he did not own it.
Mr. LaPlante stated he understood that Mr. Jerry Reierson has
offered to buy Lot 26. He stated he found it ironic that all these
years that lot has sat there doing nothing; and now when the City
receives a request from someone who wants to buy it, suddenly the
City has other options for that lot. Why nat give it to the
neighbor who is taking good care of it? He stated the neighborhood
uses this walking path a lot. They go to the park in Coon Rapids
where there is a ballfield. He doesn't want to have his children
walking along East River Road where there is no sidewalk. He
thought Jerry Reierson is going to be an asset to their
neighborhood and he should be allowed to buy that lot.
Mr. Allen Chiodo, 8410 Palm Street, Coon Rapids, stated he is also
the Chairperson of the Coon Rapids Parks Commission. He stated
this is one neighborhood, not the Fridley neighborhood and the Coon
Rapids neighborhood. Their children go to school together, and it
is the Adams community. The path is a major thoroughfare for their
children, and without that path, their children would be forced
onto East River Road which would be an unsafe situation. Some type
of path has to be maintained in this area. If there is no pathway,
then the spirit of community would be broken.
Ms. Shelly Brown, 8330 Broad Avenue, stated her
pathway. She sees the traffic going through there,
is used heavily. Her seven year old daughter
1EE
home faces the
and the pathway
uses the path
�
�LANNING COIrIIYiI88ION KEETING, MAY 16. 1990 PAGE 13
did fence in the south portion of this property and also on the
east portion. They have also maintained this property for many
years and has helped keep the path clear. Obviously, his clients
would take a very strong exception to any action by the City of
Coon Rapids that would affect his present driveway which is located
on the property directly to the north of the property being
discussed.
Mr. Bunin stated the City of Fridley should very strongly look at
how practical it is from all aspects to really use this particular
property as a new buildable lot. He thought having two individuals
who are interested in a property would allow the City to sell both
portions needed to maintain the pathway, and everybody will
benefit.
Ms. McPherson stated a copy of the letter Mr. Bunin referred to
was in the Commission's agenda.
Mr. Jerry Reierson, 621 Lafayette Street (Lot 25), stated it would
greatly benefit him to be able to acquire Lot 26, so he can enlarge
his house which he cannot do now without the granting of variances.
He stated there are a lot of little houses on Broad Street, and he
would like to upgrade his little house and make it a nicer home for
the neighborhood. Right now, the size of his home is just barely
livable. He would like to see the property remain as it is, with
the pathway open. He would like to see the pathway extended into
Coon Rapids to make a nice walkway. The neighbors have kept the
area nice. He believed it would be a great expense to the City to
have the power poles moved and the other things that are needed to
be done to make that property a buildable site.
Ms. Schreiner asked if there are any utility lines located within
the Broad Avenue right-of-way or Lot 26?
Ms. McPherson stated she could not answer that question at this
time. She would check that with the Engineering Department. She
stated the Engineering Department has requested a 15 foot sewer
and utility easement along what would be the westerly line of the
right-of-way.
Ms. Sherek stated she had several questions she would like to ask
of staff:
1. If the City vacates the right-of-way and combines it with
Lot 26 to create a buildable lot, what will the size of
that lot be in terms of square footage?
2. How will the lot area of the progosed buildable lot
compare to other lots in the area? Will it be
approximately the same size or larger?
1FF
pLANNINQ COMMIBSION MEBTING. MAY 16. 1990 PAGE 15
that entire area could possibly revert to the owners on the east
side.
Mr. Dahlberg stated that whatever decision is made, it is apparent
from the testimony they have heard at the meeting, it is extremely
important to maintain that pedestrian walkway in whatever shape or
form it may take.
Mr. Saba stated that for the safety of children and adults walking
and biking, he would like to see Fridley continue the bituminous
path all the way through there and not leave it as a dirt path.
Ms. Sherek stated she stated she looked at this property. She
stated she has expressed this philosophy before, and she would like
to express it again. She stated she just did not feel that the
City has to plot and build on every sguare inch in Fridley. This
property is very nice. The neighbors have taken good care of it.
Sure, it would be nice to put another piece of property on the tax
roles, but she did not think vacating the right-of-way and
combining it with Lot 26 to make a buildable lot would do anything
for this neighborhood. She liked the option of selling the
property to the two owners on either side and maintaining the
pathway, maybe making it an official pathway for the convenience
and safety of those using it.
Mr. Saba stated he agreed.
Ms. Schreiner stated she also looked at the property. It is so
beautiful and green and looks just like another park. The
neighbors are doing a wonderful job in maintaining it.
MOTION by Ms. Sherek, seconded by Mr. Dahlberg, to table
consideration of vacation, SAV #90-02, by the City of Fridley until
a future meeting.

Variance Request, VAR #93-01, by SignArt for
Plywood Minnesota; 5401 East River Road N.E.
The Appeals Commission reviewed the attached variance request, to
zncrease the maximum size of a sign from 80 square feet to 300
square feet. Plywood Minnesota has undergone a name change to Home
Valu and therefore needs to update its existing sign. The existing
sign was granted a variance prior to November 21, 1977.
The Appeals Commission first reviewed the variance request at its
February 16, 1993 meeting. At that meeting, the Commission tabled
the request to allow the petitioner to redesign the sign to reduce
the overall area.
The petitioner revised the sign to reduce the square footage to
186.25 square feet from the initial 300 square feet. The sign
includes 140 square feet for Home Valu, 32.75 square feet for an
automatic time and temperature sign, and 13.5 square feet for the
text "Open Tonite". The Appeals Commission at its March 2, 1993
meeting voted 4:1 to recommend approval to the City Council of the
amended sign proposal of 186.25 square feet with the following
stipulation:
1. Of the total square footage, 153.5 square feet shall be for
the identification of Home Valu and "Open Tonite". The time
and temperature sign shall be 32.75 square feet.
The petitioner has not met the four conditions outlined in the sign
code which must be met prior to the granting of a variance. Staff
recommends that the City Council deny the variance request.

B. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Reauest
The petitioner requests that a variance be granted to allow
the continuance of a variance granted prior to 1977 to allow
the change of a business name on an existing sign. This
request is for Plywood Minnesota, generally located at 5401
East River Road.
Site
The property is located south of I-694 and adjacent to the
Burlington Northern tracks. Located on the property is a
single story office/showroom/warehouse facility. The property
is zoned� M-2, Heavy Industrial, as are all surrounding
properties.
Analysis
Section 214.21.03 of the Sign Code states that all variances
granted priar to November 21, 1977, unless otherwise specified
by Council, remain in effect until the sign is altered,
remodeled, or replaced in any way.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to enable the
City to enforce compliance with current sign code. Section
214.21.03 is intended to regulate signs granted prior to
November 21, 1977.
The current sign is approximately 300 square feet in area.
The property was granted a variance in 1970 to allow the
installation of a free-standing sign. The proposed sign
changes the name from "Plywood Minnesota" to "Home Value" and
also allows for an "Open Tonight" sign and an automatic
changeable time and temperature sign. The petitioner is
processing a special use permit to allow the automatic
changeable sign as required by code.
Prior to granting a variance from the literal provision of the
Sign Code, four conditions must be met. These four conditions
are outlined in Section 214.21.02 of the Sign Code and are as
follows:
5D
Staff Report
VAR #93-01, 5401 East River Road, Plywood Minnesota
Page 2
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary
circumstances applicable to the property or to the
intended use that do not apply generally to other
property in the same vicinity and district.
The subject parcel and adjacent properties are similarly
zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial. The parcel has good
visibility from I-694. The property is not unique when
compared to adjacent properties or similarly zoned
properties in locations within the community. In 1990,
the Council denied a variance to increase the square
footage of a sign for Minikahda Mini-Storage. The
Minikahda Mini-Storage variance request was to increase
the square footage of a sign from 80 square feet ta 177
square feet. The existing Minikahda sign is 145 square
feet in area.
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, but which is denied the property in
question.
Denial of the variance does not eliminate an opportunity
for signage on the property. The property currently has
a small wall awning sign over the door of the entrance.
The amount of signage on this awning is substantially
less than that which is permitted by code. If the
petitioner requires additional signage, the petitioner
has the opportunity of exploring additional wall signage
on the building facia. Denial of the variance request
would only prevent the petitioner from changing the name
on the existing sign. The petitioner has an opportunity
to substantially reduce the size of the free-standing
sign closer to that allowed by code.
C. That the strict applicati.on of the Chapter would
constitute an unnecessary hardship.
Strict application of the Chapter would limit the amount
af signage to 80 square feet maximum. Denial of the
variance would prevent a change in the name of the sign.
The petitioner shoulcl attempt to reduce the amount of
signage to bring it closer in compliance with the code.
The Minikahda Mini-Storage sign at 145 square feet is
visible and very readable from I-694. It would be
possible for the petitioner to make adequate use of a
smaller sign.
5E
Staff Report .
VAR #93-01, 5401 East River Road, Plywood Minnesota
Page 3
D. That the granting of the variance would not be
materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
or general welfare, or detrimental to the property
in the vicinity or district in which the property
is located.
The public purpose served by the Sign Ordinance is to
reduce the size and amount of signage in order to reduce
visual pollution. The petitioner, when requesting to
maintain the existing square footage, is not attempting
to meet the public purpose set forth by the ordinance.
At this time, the petitioner has the opportunity to
substantially reduce the amount of signage provided on
site.
Recommendation
As the petitioner is not attempting to substantially reduce
the amount of signage on the property and the four conditions
as required in Section 214.21.02 have not been met, staff
recommends that the Appeals Commission recommend denial of the
variance xequest to the City Council.
Appeals Commission Action of February 16 1993
The Commission voted to table the request to allow the
petitioners an opportunity to work on a smaller sign. The
Commission also requested information regarding the Wickes and
Minikahda Mini-Storage signs. Wickes has two wall signs, one
of 1,477 square feet and one of 396 square feet. The Sign
Code in effect at that time does not clearly define the amount
of wa21 signage permitted in the industrial district. The
minutes of the 1985 variance .request for Minikahda are
attached.
Revised Proposal
The petitioner has submitted a proposed sign of 186.25 sguare
feet. Of the total square footage, 140 square feet is for
"Home Valu"; 32.75 square feet is for public service (time and
temperature); and 13.5 square feet is for "Open Tonite". The
sign will still use the existing poles. While adding the
time/temperature section is a contribution to the public, it
does not reflect the petitioners' image to the public nor does
it contribute to the petitioners' image. This portion of the
sign could be eliminated without adverse impact to the
proposed sign. This would reduce the overall size of the sign
to 153.5 square feet, almost half of the existing sign.

Appeals Commission Action
On. March 2, 1993, the Appeals Commission voted 4-1 to
recommend that the City Council approve a variance�to 186.25
square feet with the following condition:
1. Of the total square footage, 153.5 square feet shall
be for the identification of "Home Valu" and "Open
� Tonite". The time and temperature sign shall be
32.75 square feet.
City Council Recommendation
The petitioner has not met the four conditions outlined in the
Sign Code which must be met prior to the granting of a
variance. Staff recommends that the City Council deny the
variance request.

NORTHERN
Mr. Bob Naegele and Mr. Harry Harl�eyer were present to present the requeat.
Mr. Naegele explaiaed the sign will be located a few feet East of the temporary
sign that is up now. It will be a back to back sign and this would be the
best location to catch the.view of both the West bound and Bast bound traffic.
It will be a painted sign with a permanent message. It wiZl be a free
standing sign without any guide wires and will be illuminated. The total
height of the sign will be 25 feet.
He explained the sign has been tested for wind pressure and it will with-
stand .s0 pounds per square feet.
Ahonen asked Mr. Naegele why the sign had to be so large.
Mr. Naegele answered that it was partly because of the amount of letters to
be put on the sign and to make it readable while driving in freeway traffic.
He added further that Mr. Bo�hwitz, of Plywood Minnesota, had waated a sign
that told people that he sold plywood and that this was the home of Plywood
Minnesotn.
Chairman Mittelstadt read, to the Board members and the applicant, the parts
of the Sign Ordinance that applied in this case.
KOTION by Minish to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Harris. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION by Ahonen to table the request to allow the members..to view the size
of the signs in the same area.
The motioa died for lack of a second.
MOTION by Minish to recommend to the City Council approval of the request
for the following reasons:
1. The number of Ietters that make up the sign make it difficult to keep
the sign within the confines o� the Sign Ordinance.
2. It is located by the freeway and a larger sign is needed to make it
easily readable in fast moving tr�ffic.
3. It will be the same size as the "Welcome to Fridley" sign located on
University Avenue.
4. The petitioner was made aware o� the requirements he has to meet ar.�l
he agreed to them.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 16, 1970 � PAGE 11
The City Engineer explained that this request is for a variance o! front
yard, rear yard, and lot area requirements. The Board of Appeals r.ecom�uended
denial. The property is zoned R-3. There was some land taken fraa this pro-
per�y for the development of I. 694, for the 7th Street underpass. The property
is zoned for apartments, but is not big enouqh�for anything but a duplsx.
Mra.. Roqer�A�anark, 532. High�ray� 100 N.E., said that she and Mrs. Williae� M.
Remarke,• 510-Cheri.Lane N.E. gaid that they represented saae of the people wrho
petitioned against the qrantinq of these variances, as it was felt tiiat the
property vcas -tao. �aall for a duplex. . . . _ . .. . . , �
A Representative of.Twin City Apartment Developers�Inc., said.that saa►e of the
property was taken for-the street, but they felt that it was still larqe
enough for a double bunqalow. They felt that because of the proper zonir�q,
it should be granted.
CounciLnan Liebl asked where the people lived that signed the petition. Mrs.
Asmark said that ti�e.�etition was supposed to be �ubnitted to the City Council.
The majority of the people live alonq Cheri Lane. Th��e is an ap�uct�aent
building an 7th 5treet and the residents suffer frar► this. She aaid that there
are always cars parked there that create problems in the winter. She aaid that
they realize that the property is properly zoned, but felt that this is an
example of spot zoninq. She said they.did not feel that there.was enanqh•
property to take care of the people that would be living there. Obvioasly
there is a City Code, and she believed that it should be followed.
MOTION by CouncilIIian Sheridan to concur with the Board of Appeals and c�eny
the request for a double bungalow for the reasons outlined by the Board.
Seconded by Councilman Harris. LTpon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. - .

APPROVAL OF FEBRUARY 2 1993 APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES:
MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Dr. Vos, to approve the
February 2, 1993, Appeals Commission minutes as written.
IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REOUEST VAR #93-01, BY SIGNART FOR
PLYWOOD MINNESOTA INC •
Per Section 214.21.03 of the Fridley Sign Code, to allow the
continuance of a variance granted prior to November 21, 1977, to
allow the remodeling of a sign on Lot 1, Block l, Great Northern
Industrial Center, the same being 5401 East River Road .
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to open the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE POTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CIiAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:33 P.M.
Ms. Dacy stated this property is located south of I-694 and west
of Burlington Northern Railroad. The property is zoned M-2, Heavy
Industrial, as are all surrounding properties. Located on the
property is the Plywood Minnesota business and a 300 square foot
"Plywood Minnesota" sign for which a variance was granted in 1970.
�•�„�R � -r-+E- ;: .� -..�s -
Ms. Dacy stated the petitioners would like to replace the sign with
a new sign to depict the new name of the company, "Home Valu", and
also for an "Open Tonight" sign and an automatic changeable time
5N
a�'-�.. _ :::I;
,.: S.. .r`,is
APPEALB COMMISSION MEBTING, FEBRIIARY 16, 1993 PAGB 2
and temperature sign. The petitioners are also processing a
special use permit request to allow the automatic changeable sign.
Ms. Dacy stated.that the Sign Code is very specific in stating that
for variances granted prior to November 21, 1977, any time a sign
is changed in any way, a variance is required. The intent of the
code requirement is to allow the City to enforce a closer
compliance to the current Sign Code. �
Ms. Dacy stated that prior to granting a variance, the Sign Code,
Section 214.21.02, outlines four conditions which must be met.
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances
applicable to the property or to the intended use that
do not apply generally to other property in the same
vicinity and district.
Ms. Dacy stated that Plywood Minnesota and adjacent properties
enjoy considerable visibility from i-694. Wickes Furniture has a
large wall sign on its northwest wall, and Minikahda Mini-Storage
has a free-standing sign in the amount of 145 square feet. Staff
does not believe there are any unique or exceptional circumstances
applying to this particular property.
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, but
which is denied the property in question.
Ms. Dacy stated that if the variance is denied, the petitioners
would still have the ability to have an 80 square foot sign, 25
feet in height, and wall signage according to the wall sign
calculations in the Sign Code.
C. That the strict application of the Chapter would
constitute an unnecessary hardship.
Ms. Dacy stated that because other alternatives are available to
the petitioners within the code requirements and because other
properties in the area are enjoying a similar right, denying the
variance would not be creating an unnecessary hardship.
D. That the granting of the variance would not be materially
detrimental to the public health, safety, or general
welfare, or detrimental to the property in the vicinity
or district in which the property is located.
Ms. Dacy stated the existing sign at 300 square feet is one of the
,_ largest signs in the City of Fridley. The �ntent of the ordinance
is to reduce the size of the sign closer to the current Sign Code
requirements which is 80 square feet.
Ms. Dacy stated that because the foux conditions as required in
Section 214.21.02 of the Sign Code have not been met, staff is
50
APPEALS COMMI88ION MEETING, FEBRDARY 16 1993 PAG$ 3
recommending that the Appeals Commission recommend denial of this
variance to the City Council.
Ms. Savage asked the size of the Wickes Furniture's wall sign and
if Wickes Furniture has a free-standing sign.
Ms. Dacy stated she did not know the size of Wickes' wall sign, but
she believed it meets the Sign Code's wall signage calculations.
Wickes Furniture does not have a free-standing sign.
Mr. Kuechle asked what history the City has for denying variances
over the required 80 square foot code requirement.
Ms. Dacy stated that regarding these types of signs where variances
were granted 15-20 years ago, a lot of the owners of these
businesses are now updating and modernizing their signs. For
example, a variance was granted to Embers Restaurant in 1991 to
reduce their sign from 300 square feet to 120 square feet. In
1990, Minikahda Mini-Storage submitted a variance request to
increase their existing sign from 145 square feet to 177.25 square�
feet. This request was denied. Menards is currently going through
the variance process to upgrade their sign.
Mr. Gerry Boschwitz stated he is the President and Chief Executive
Officer for Plywood Minnesota. He stated Signart is doing all the
Plywood Minnesota signs in the Twin Cities area. They are in the.
process of changing the name of their company, and that is the real
reason for making some changes to the sign.
Mr. Boschwitz stated Plywood Minnesota and its sign.have been in
this location since 1970. Their corporate headquarters, as well
as a retail store and distribution center, for the Twin Cities area
are at this location. He stated the problems they have had with
this facility is that people do not recognize it as a retail
location, because it looks a little like an office building and
doesn't identify itself very well as a retail location. They
believed that, in addition to the new name, putting "Open Tonight"
on the sign would help people to know that this is a retail
location and that it is open to the public. He stated the Wickes'
wall sign is enormous and somewhat eclipses Plywood Minnesota, so
they want to attract a little more attention to their building and
their sign.
Mr. Brottland, Signart, stated that because of the way the Plywood
Minnesota building is situated on the property, it does not enjoy
the advantage for wall signage like the Wickes' building. The
Wickes' building faces northwest and so has a better advantage for
visibility than the Plywood Minnesota building which faces north.
By having a free-standing�pylon �s-igr�;;�t�hey have the ability to get
the message out for both eastbound and westbound I-694 traffic.
Dr. Vos stated that if the variance is not granted and the
petitioners must look at a smaller sig�l, what would they propose
to eliminate from the proposed sign?
5P
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRIIARY 16, 1993 PAGE 4
Mr. Boschwitz stated that "Home Valu" and "Open Tonight" are the
two main messages they want on the sign. The "Open Tonight"
message helps establish this as a retail location. He stated the
existing sign was constructed in 1970 by Naegele Sign Company and
has remained the same since that time except for repainting the
lettering.
Ms. Savage stated she would be concerned about whether or not the
automatic changeable time and temperature signage might be a
traffic hazard.
Ms. Dacy stated the Planning Commission will decide the issue on
the automatic changeable signage, but Ms. Savage does bring up a
good point.
Mr. Brottland stated there is a lot of automatic changeable time
and temperature signage around the Twin Cities area. There are a
lot of these types of signs along I-494, and they do not seem to
cause any problems. Time and temperature signage helps motorist
gauge their commuting time at different locations.
Dr. Vos asked the height of the existing pylon.
Mr. Brottland stated he believed the sign is within the 25 foot
height code requirement.
Mr. Boschwitz stated that as a retailer, signage is very important.
The right signage will make a real difference on the impact of
their location and how their business continues. He stated they
really appreciate the Commission's time and consideration of this
variance request.
Mr. Brottland stated trat when a company is making a name change,
it is very hard to make that transition unless the company presents
itself well with signage.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Dr. Vos, to close the public
hearing.
IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PQBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:58 P.M.
Dr. Vos stated that the location of Plywood Minnesota has several
unique hardships: (1) It is located at the end of a road; (2) It
is difficult to know how to get to it; and (3) It is really
visible onZy from eastbound traffic on I-694, and traffic is moving
very fast. However, be believed a 300 square foot sign is too
large. He would recommend denial of a�variance to 300-square feet
but would be willing to consider something more reasonable.
Ms. Beaulieu stated that two weeks ago, the Appeals Commission
recommended denial of a sign variance for Menards to 189 square
� feet. Visual pollution of signs is of more concern now than it was
5Q
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRIIARY 16, 1993 PAG$ 5
when these variances were granted in 1970. She stated that maybe
some of the signage, such as "Open Tonight" could be put on the
building. She stated the petitioners have not met the four
conditions in the Sign Code that are needed before a variance can
be granted. She stated a variance was granted to Embers, but they
had made a sizeable reduction in their sign from 400 square feet
to 120 square feet. She stated she believed a variance could be
granted but not at 300 square feet. She would also�recommend
denial of the sign variance as proposed.
Ms. Savage stated she would also recommend denial of the variance
request. She stated the Commission unanimously recommended denial
of a similar sign variance request from Menards two weeks ago.
Ms. Savage agreed that the hardships brought up by Dr. Vos are
p�ssible reasons for granting a variance larger than the required
80 square feet; however, the Commission is also concerned about
environmental and visual pollution, and those are factors which
they must take into account when granting variances. She stated
that, in her opinion, 300 square feet is not feasible and would not
be consistent with what the Commission has done in the past. She
stated she hoped that the petitioners could reduce the sign and
come back with a more reasonable variance request.
Mr. Kuechle stated he agreed with the other Commission members.
He failed to see much difference between a wall sign and a free-
standing sign. Some buildings don't have the opportunity for wall
signage such as Plywood Minnesota because of the angle at which the
building is located. Wickes' wall sign is very large. In looking
at Wickes' wall sign and Plywood Minnesota's free-standing sign,
there is no doubt which sign is more obtrusive. There is also a
big difference on the height of the buildings. Wickes is much
higher than Plywood Minnesota.
Mr. Kuechle stated that from his point of view as both a citizen
of Fridley and a member of the Appeals Commission, if the City
grants a sign variance to Plywood Minnesota for a 300 square foot
sign, then it wi1Z be very difficult to deny a similar variance to
another business.
Ms. Dacy stated that if the petitioners decide to reduce the size
of the sign, did the Appeals Commission want the request to come
back to the Commission for recommended action; or, if the
Commission denies the request at this meeting and the petitioners
reduce the size of the sign before the Council meeting, was the
Commission comfortable with letting the Council make the final
decision without a recommendation from the Commission?
Dr. Vos stated he realized that 80 square feet is probably not a
realistic size for this sign, but what would the petitioners
propose?
Mr. Boschwitz stated he believed they would be willing to look at
the plans again and r'evise the size of the sign based on the
5R
�
APPEALS COMMI83ION MEETING, FLBRIIARY 16. 1993 PAGE 6
Commission's discussion. He stated they also had not considered
a wall sign, and that might be a possibility. A wall sign and a
reduced pylon sign might be able to meet their needs and come
closer to the code requirements.
Ms. Savage stated she liked the idea of having this variance
request come back to the Commission.
Mr. Brottland stated they have already applied for a temporary
banner for the pylon sign. Is it possible that the Council could
extend the length of time the banner can be displayed since it will
take a little longer to reach a resolution on the new signage?
Ms. Dacy stated that only the Council has the authority to grant
a time extension.
Mr. Kuechle stated it seems like a reasonable request.
Ms. Dacy stated that maybe the petitioners can request an extension
of time from the Council at its March 1, 1993, meeting.
MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to table variance
request, VAR #93-01, by Signart for Plywood Minnesota until the

APPEALB COMMI88ION MEETING, MARCH 2, 1993 PAGE 2
Ms. McPherson stated that at the last meeting, the Commission had
reguested that staff provide them with some more information on
Minikahda Mini-Storage's sign and the amount of wall signage for
wickes. Minutes of the 1985 variance for Minikahda Mini-Storage
were included with the agenda. .
Ms. McPherson stated that at the time the sign permit was issued
for the Wickes Furniture facility, the northwest wall had
approximately 1,447 square feet in wall signage. That included a
second lettering band at the bottom of the sign with additional
text which no longer exists. The total square footage of wall
signage along the southwest wall is 396 square feet.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioners have submitted a revised site
plan. The revised sign totals 186.25 square feet, 140 square feet
for "Home Valu", 32.75 square feet for public service (time and
temperature), and 13.5 square feet for "Open Tonite". The
petitioners propose to use the existing structure of the sign to
support the new signage.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is still recommending that the Appeals
Commission recommend denial of the variance request. While the
petitioner has substantially reduced the amount of signage, the
four conditions in the Sign Code have still not been inet by the new
proposal.
Ms. Savage asked about the variance for Minikahda Mini-Storage that
was denied by the Council in 1990.
Ms. McPherson stated that Minikahda Mini-Storage wanted to add
approximately 24 square feet to their present sign. She believed
that signage was to provide directions to the facility via East
River Road.
Ms. Savage stated that in the 1985, the Council approved a variance
from 80 square feet to 133 square feet for Minikahda Mini-Storage.
How did this 133 square feet get to the existing 145 square feet?
Ms. McPherson stated that based on the calculations submitted by
the petitioner from the 1990 variance request, the square footage
was 145 square feet. She had no answer to Ms. Savage's question
as to why a larger sign was installed.
Mr. Gerry Boschwitz stated that they have taken a hard look at
their existing sign. He stated the existing sign is about 300
square feet, so they are cutting the amount of square footage
almost in half. He stated the Wickes signage rather eclipses them
because it is such a huge sign. As a retailer next door, they
would like their sign to stick out as much as is reasonable. They
are hoping that by compromising and making the sign smaller that
this would be in keeping 'with the wishes of the Appeals Commission.
5U
APPEALS COMMISSTON MESTING MARC$ 2 1993 PAGE 3
Mr. Brottland stated that as the sign vendor, they looked at the
Minikahda Mini-Storage sign (145 square feet) and geared the main
part of the "Home Valu�' sign at 140 square feet to comply more with
the Minikahda sign. Then, they added the public service part of
the sign (32.75 square feet) and the "Open Tonite�' text (13.5•
square feet), which would not be so much a part of_the actual
square footage of the "Home Valu" sign in order to comply more with
the neighboring Minikahda Mini-Storage sign. They feel the "Open
Tonite" part of the sign is important in identifying this as retail
business.
Ms. Smith asked why the public service (time and temperature) is
so important to the petitioners.
Mr. Boschwitz stated that the idea of the time and temperature sign
is to draw a little more attention to their business. Many people
do not realize this is a retail store.
Dr. Vos asked if there are any other changeable signs in Fridley.
Ms. McPherson stated Menards has a changeabl.e sign, but the message
can only change once every 15 minutes. TCF Banks has a time and
temperature sign.
Mr. Brottland stated the time and temperature signs do serve as a
public service, and they do not appear to be a traffic hazard.
From a sign company's point of view, the time and temperature signs
are an advantage to the retailer because commuters can gauge their
traveling. time by the time and temperature signs at different
businesses. He stated it is also very scary and risky to change
a company name. It is important to do ar�ything they can to attract
the public to this retail business, and that is the main reason for
the "Open Tonite" portion of the sign.
Mr. Brottland stated that at the last meeting, it was suggested
that they explore the use of wall signage. He stated there are
some mature trees that really prohibit the visibility of any wall
signage, and those trees are not on Home Valu property.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Ms. Smith, to close the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:20 P.M.
Mr. Kuechle stated he is still troubled by the fact that the.sign
is still very large at 186 square feet. However, he also
recognizes that wall signage is not a very good option. Home Value
is somewhat dwarfed by the Wickes sign. He stated he still fails
to see the real difference between wall signs and pylon signs. The
sign as proposed is aesthetically pleasing. It is simple without
any clutter. He can see the marketinq strategy that the time and
5V
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 2 1993 PAGL 4
temperature signage is a way of getting people to remember the Home
Valu location. He stated that he would recommend approval of the
variance.
Ms. Beaulieu asked if the Commission coul.d recommend approval of
the variance to 186.25 square feet, but stipulate that 32.75 square
feet is for public service signage only. if they approved only the
186.25 square feet, then the petitioners would not be restricted
on the size of the main portion of the sign.
Ms. McPherson stated that if the Commission is concerned about the
overall size of the identification portion of the sign and are not
opposed to the 186.25 square feet as long as 32 square feet are
devoted to the public service portion, if the Commission does not
stipulate that, then there is nothing to prevent the petitioners
from changing the size of the identification portion of the sign.
Ms. Smith stated she would vote to recommend approval with the
stipulation as suggested by Ms. Beaulieu. If the public service
portion is not approved by the Planning Commission and City
Council, then the sign is limited to 153.5 square feet. She stated
there is a hardship with this request, and it has to do with the
lack of visibility to I-b94. It is a different situation than
businesses located along Central Avenue, for example.
Ms. Savage stated she believed an argument can be made for a
hardship for a larger sign, but she cannot agree to 186.25 square
feet. She believed the Commission wil.l be setting a dangerous
precedent for more sign variance requests. She could recommend
approval of a variance to a total of 153.25 square feet or 140
square feet, but not 186.25 square feet. She stated she is also
concerned about the time and temperature portion of the sign. She
did think it could be a traffic hazard, and she did not see the
necessity for having a time and temperature signs visible from
freeways. It is more billboard-type pollution. She would
recommend denial of the variance as requested.
Ms. Beaulieu stated she does share Ms. Savage's concern about
setting a precedent. However, if they stipulate that the sign is
186.25 square feet only if 32.75 square feet of the sign is for
public service. That way they get away from setting a precedent
and are not allowing 186.25 square feet for the "Home Valu" portion
of the sign. She would vote in favor of the variance with that
stipulation.
Dr. Vos stated that at the last meeting he had listed a couple of
hardships: (1) The business is located at the end of a road; (2)
Access to the business is difficult; and (3j Visibility is limited,
both eastbound and westbound. He stated he would be in favor of
recommending approval to allow 153.25 square feet for the Home Valu
portion of the sign, with 32.75 square feet for the public service
portion. That way, if the Planning Commission recommends denial
5W
APPEALS COMMISSION ME$TING MARC$ 2 1993 PAGE 5
� of the special use permit for the changeable sign on March 10, then
the Appeals Commission has the recommendation for 153.25 square
feet that will go on to Council.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to recommend to City
Council approval of variance request, VAR #93-01, by Signart for
Home Valu per Section 214.21.03 of the Fridley Sign Code, to allow
the con�inuance of a variance granted prior to November 21, 1977,
to allow the remodeling of a sign on Lot 1, BZock 1, Great Northern
Tndustrial Center, the same being 5401 East River Road N.E., with
the following condition:
1. Of the total square footage, 153.5 square feet shall be
for the identification of "Home Valu" and "Open Tonite��.
The time and temperature sign shall be 32.75 square feet.
IIPON A VOICE VOTE, SAVAGE VOTING NAY, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED BY A VOTE�OF 4-1.
2. MEETING WITH THE CITY COUNCIL:
Ms. McPherson stated the City Council has told staff that they
would like to meet with the advisory commissions regarding their
respective goals and objectives during 1993. Barbara Dacy,
Community Development Director, has asked staff to suggest some
meeting dates for Cottrtcil to begzn meeting with the advisory
commissions. She hopes the Council can meet with the Commission
by the end of May.
Ms. McPherson asked the Commission members if there were any issues
they would like to discuss with the Commission.
Ms. Smith stated she would like to discuss the whole sign variance
issue since they seem to be getting so many sign variances. She
would also like to know how many sign variances the Commission has
recommended denial and the Council has approved. Should the
Council be taking a look at the 80 square foot limit?
Ms. McPherson stated that there is a provision in the Sign Code,
Section 214.21.03 that limits the length of variances that were
granted prior to 1977. The Council has been stipulating those same
conditions on sign variances. The Commission could see an increase
in variance requests for signs that were granted variances in the
last three years,
Dr. Vos stated that is also a concern.
Ms. Savage stated she feels strongly about signs, and she would not
be in favor of a sign increase. If they want to explore the whole
issue, she would also like to know what other cities are doing as
far as signage and sign variances.
5X
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING. MARCH 2, 1993 PAGB 6
Ms. Smith stated she would be curious about whether other
communities have differences. on sizes of signs that are going to
be on a freeway as opposed to a smaller collector street. �
Ms. McPherson stated staff can do some research on this. She
stated she would also make copies of Section 214.21.03 for the
Commission members. �

Request
The petitioner requests that a special use permit be issued to
allow an automatic changeable sign. The sign would be used to
display time and temperature on the subject parcel. The request
is for Lot 1, Block 1, Great Northern Industrial Center, the same
being 5401 East River Road N.E.
Site
The property is located south of I-694 and adjacent to the
Burlington Northern tracks. Located on the property is a single
story office/showroo�/warehouse facility. The property is zoned
M-2, Heavy Industrial, as are all surrounding properties.
Analvsis
In addition to the request for an automatic changeable sign, the
petitioner is currently processing a variance request to allow a
variance granted prior to November 21, 1977 to remain in effect to
allow the remodeling of an existing sign. The variance was
reviewed by the Appeals Commission, at their February 16, 1993
meeting, and the Commission tabled the request pending the
petitioner's reduction of the sign from 300 square feet. The
Appeals Commission, at their March 2, 1993 meeting, reviewed the
variance request to allow a sign of 186.25 square feet. Of the
total square footage requested, 32.5 square feet would be dedicated
to a public service sign displaying the time and temperature. The
AppeaZs Commission recommended that the City Council approve this
variance to 186.25 square feet.
Section 214.07.01 of the Fridley City Code allows automatic
changeable signs in all districts except for residential districts
with a special use permit. Two conditions are required to be met:
A. Conformance to the sign requirements within that
district.
B. The message shall not change more than once every 15
minutes except for a sign displaying time, temperature,
and/or date.
As proposed, the automatic changeable sign can meet the
requirements of both provisions (the sign itself is 32.5 square
feet, 80 square feet is permitted. The special use permit,
however, should not be issued if the variance is not granted as
the overall sign would not conform to the sign requirements in the
M-2, Heavy Industrial district.

is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, as are all surrounding parcels.

;:�::_< �
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCB 10. 1993 PAGB 2�
Ms. McPherson stated that as part of the overall renovation of the
existing sign, the petitioners were required to not only apply for
a special use permit for the automatic changeable sign, but also
for a variance. The existing Plywood Minnesota sign was granted
a variance prior to 197? and in order to allow the remodeling of
the sign faces, the City Sign Code requires that a variance be
reissued if the petitioner is not going to bring the"sign into
conformance with the Sign Code. The existing sign is approximately
300 square feet in area, and the Sign Code allows a maximum square
footage of 80 square feet for a free standing sign. �
Ms. McPherson stated the new name �f the Plywood Minnesota busi�ess
is Home Valu, and that is the main reason for the new. sign. The'
automatic changeable portion of the proposed•new sign is a pub]..ic
service time/temperature sign which will be part of the overall
sign. In addition, the petitioners will be having a neon portion.
of the sign with the words "Open Tonite".
Ms. McPherson stated that on February 16, 1993, the Appeals
Commission tabled the variance request pending the petitioners'
revision of the proposed sign. The petitioners revised the 'sign
to reduce the overall square footage from 300 square feet to 186.25
square feet. On March 2, 1993, the Appeals Commission recommended
approval of the variance to 186.25 square feet stipulating that of
the 186.25 square feet, 32.5 square feet is to be dedicated to the
public service (automatic changeable) portion of the sign. The
remainder of the sign totals 153 square feet which is comprised of
the "Home Valu" text as well as the neon "Open Tonite" text at the
bottom of the sign.
Ms. McPherson stated Section 214 of the Sign Code allows automatic
changeable signs in all districts except residential districts with
the issuance of a special use permit. Two conditions are
stipulated in the Sign Code which are required to be met:
l. Conformance_ to the sign requirements within that
district.
2. The message shall not change more than once every l5
minutes except for a sign displaying time, temperature,
and/or date.
Ms. McPherson stated the automatic changeable sign as proposed can
meet both those provisions of the Sign Code. This portion of the
sign is only 32.5 square feet which is less than the 80 square feet
permitted by Code. However, if the Commission approves the special
use permit request, it should be stipulated that the special use
permit request is only approved if the variance request is also
approved as the overall sign cannot meet the 80 square feet
permitted in the M-2, Heavy Industrial districts.

PLANNING COMMISSION MELTING, MARCH 10, 1993 PAGL 3
Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending the Commission recommend
approval of the special use permit request pending approval of the
variance request, VAR �93-01.
Mr. Gerry Boschwitz stated he is President and CEO of Home Valu.
Bill Brattland from Signart is also at the meeting. He stated they
originally requested a larger sign as explained by staff. Because
their store is I.ocated at the end of a cul-de-sac and is rather
difficult to get to and find, they wanted a large sign. They are
also next to Wickes Furniture which has very large wall signage.
To a certain extent, they are dwarfed by Wickes Furniture. They
wanted to put up a new sign that would show up a little better and.
present their new name and image.
Mr. Boschwitz stated the "Open Tonite" portion of the sign is to
help establish the fact that they are a retail location. Their
building does not always appear as a retail location. Many people
believe it is a warehouse and office building. The time and
temperature signage was presented as a public service and also to
provide Home Valu with a little more recognition of their location
on I-694.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to close the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THS
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIISLIC $EARING CLOSED AT 7:45 P.M.
Mr. Kondrick stated he would vote in favor of the special use
permit for the public service (time and temperaturej portion of the
sign. He agreed that Home Valu is rather eclipsed by the larger
Wickes signage, and Home Valu does need some signage to project
their new image. The public service signage will also be
benefiting the community.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to recomme�d to City
Council approval of special use permit request, SP #93-02, by
Signart for Home Valu, per Section 214.07.01 by the Fridley City
Code, to allow an automatic changeable sign on Lot 1, Block 1,
Great Northern Industrial Center, generally located at 5401 East
River Road, contingent upon the approval of variance request, VAR
#93-01.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEAMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. McPherson stated the special use permit request and the
variance request will go to City Council on April 5, 1993.

TO: y�
FROM:
John G. Flora,�Pubiic Works Director
DATE: April 28, 1993
SUBJECT: TCAAP interconnect Wate�line
For the past few months, we have been working with the City of New Brighton and their attomeys and
Virg Herrick, representing the City, to prepaze the necessary agreements between the cities of New
Brighton and Fridley for the construction, operation and maintenance of the TCAAP interconnect
wateriine. The Dept. of the Army is requiring an agreement to be executed between the two cities for
the use and disposition of the remediai treated TCAAP water prior to their taking final action and
approving construction of the interconnect line as weli as the plume ground recovery system (PGRS)
filter plant.
In order to expedite the process and to indicate the City's support of �eceiving the TCAAP wate�, I
recommend the City Council approve the attached finro agreements and authorize the City Manager and
Mayo� to execute them.
The firs# agreement is a design and constn,ict agreement for the interconnect`waterline. The City of
Fridley would be responsible for designing and constructing the waterline from New Brighton through
the City of Fridley to its connection to our 20-inch line on the west side of Hwy 65. It also includes
construction of the booster station at 63rd and East Moore Lake Drive. In addition, the City of Fridley
is responsible for contracting the electronic radio control system (SCADA) for the two cities. This system
will control the flow of water and pumping befinreen the finro cities. New Brighton would be responsible
for designing and constructing a valve building at the beginning of the line for their control of the water
entering the City of Fridley.
It is proposed that the construction of this line will inc4ude the upgrading of Benjamin Street to MSAS
standards with concrete curb and gutter, as well as 64th Avenue to Ciiy standards with concrete curb
and gutter and storm system.
The second agreement involves the operation and maintenance ofi the interconnect wate�line. The right-
of-way for the line will be owned by the City and New Brighton will be responsible for the mai�tenance
and repair of the waterline within the right-of-way. It is understood and the agreement provides for the
City of Fridley to initiate repair work on the line as necessary with appropriate costs to be reimbursed
by New Brighton from the Department of Army funds. The agreement also provides for the
establishment of a system to coordinate the flow of water into the City as the PGRS and PGAC facilities
come on line.

MEMORANDUM
TO: William W. Bums, City Manager ,� •f "� PW93-153
�
�ROnn: John G. Flora,�Pubiic Works Director
DATE: April 29, 1993
SUBJECT: Street Improvement Project No. ST. 1993-1 &2
At the April 19 Council meeting, we conducted a public hearing on the street reconstruction
program for those streets which are to be assessed for concrete curb and gutter. Petitions for
the streets were received in excess of 50% of the residents supporting the project.
In addition the 1993 st�eet program identifles the final mat overlays for Highway 65 East Service
Road, University East/West Service Roads, 69th Avenue, and 79th Avenue. The p�oject aiso
includes new construction for the bituminous sidewalk through Riverview Heights Park,
improvements fo� the Fire training facility and the Rickazd Road/Craig Way Watermain
connection.
One of the new construction items in our proposed 1993 p�ogram is the construction of a
bituminous bikeway from 73rd Avenue to 85th Avenue along the west side of University Avenue.
I would propose that the Council authorize the preparation of final plans for this project, but
recommend that this project not be awarded at this time since we are requesting Federal funds
for this and other bikeway/walkway projects within the City. A final decision on this item can be
made at the time the contract is awarded.
Recommend the City Council approve the attached resolution ordering the final plans and
authorizing advertisement for bids f�r the Street Improvement Project No. ST. 1993-1 &2.

allow garden centers or nurseries which require outside

and 12, Auditor's Subdivision No. 155, generally located at
755 - 53rd Avenue N.E.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 14, 1993 PAQE 2
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the reading
of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing.
IIPON A VOICE VOTEi ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND T$E POBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7II33 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the property is generally located south of I-
694, west of Central Avenue, and north of 53rd Avenue. The
property is zoned C-3, General Shopping Central district, as are
the adjacent properties to the east. The property to the west is
zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling district, and the property to
the south is in the City of Columbia Heights.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is proposing to construct a 20
ft. by 24 ft. hoophouse (a temporary greenhouse structurej for
garden sales. The petitioner has proposed three alternate
locations for the hoophouse, two of which are on the concrete pad
in front of the Northwest Fabric portion of the store, and the
third is adjacent to the building on the south side of the
building. All three of the proposed locations would minimize the
traffic impact to the garden center.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner plans to hold garden sales
until approximately June 30, 1993. The petitioner is unsure at
this time whether this will be an annual operation. She stated it
might be appropriate for the Planning Commission to limit the time
the special use permit is valid. Staff has indicated in the
stipulations that the petitioner will have to notify the Community
Development Department by the end of 1993 as to whether or not
Target wants to continue annual garden sales in this manner.
Ms. McPherson stated that fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides
should not be stored in the garden center to minimize or eliminate
any environmental concerns associated with those products.
Ms. McPherson stated staff recommends that the Planning Commission
recommend approval of this special use permit request with the
following three stipulations:
l. There shall. be no outdoor storage of fertilizers,
pesticides, or herbicides.
2. The petitioner shall notify the Community Development
Department in writing by December 31, 1993, whether the
sales will occur on an annual basis.
3. If there are no complaints or issues raised by the
operation of the garden center, the sales may continue
on an annual basis. If problems do occur, the Planning
Commission and City Council may review the special use
permit request to change the stipulations or to determine
if revocation is necessary.
12A
PLANNING COMMISSION MBSTING, APRIL 14, 1993 PAGE 3
Mr. Saba stated that Target has conducted outdoor garden sales in
the past. If this the first time Target has applied for a special
use permit for this type of operation?
Ms. McPherson stated she had reviewed both the address file and
staff's special use permit list, and it does not appear that Target
obtained a special use permit in the past for outdoor garden sales.
Mr. Saba asked if the City has ever received any complaints from
neighbors in the past.
Ms. McPherson stated that she has not heard of any complaints.
Mr. Peter Meade stated he is the Assistant Manager for the Target
Store at 755 - 53rd Avenue N.E. He stated six Target Stores in
the metro area will be testing the outdoor garden centers this
year. He stated they did have an outdoor garden center several
years ago. Nationwide, they outdoor garden centers were not very
successful; however, they were successful in the Minneapolis area.
In an effort to increase sales, they are again getting back into
this part of the business. The garden center will open by early
May and will be open for approximately six weeks. The company they
are.working with is Rosacker which has a very fine reputation.
Mr. Meade stated they have no problem with the stipulations
recommended by staff.
Mr. Saba asked if there would be any other outdoor storage other
than the plants in the hoophouse.
Mr. Meade stated they might bring some garden items out of the
store during the day and put them back at night. If the City
doesn't allow them to do that, that is fine.
Mr. Oquist stated Target is proposing three locations for the
garden center. What is Target's preferred site?
Mr. Meade stated they would prefer site #3 {adjacent to the
building on the south side of the building). At that location,
they will not be interfering with Northwest Fabric's business.
Mr. Oquist stated he also favored site #3, not only for Northwest
Fabrics, but also in terms of traffic flow and staying out of what
is actually a fire lane in front of the building.
Mr. John Sandstede stated he is the Store Manager for the Target
Store at 755 - 73rd Avenue N.E. He stated the hoophouse is made
of high quality poly. The sides can be rolled up during the day.
Their intention is to have the bedding plants inside the hoophouse.
He showed the Commission pictures of garden centers at other Target
Stores.

MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the reading
of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CBAIRPBRSON NEWMAN DEC7�ARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THB PIIBLIC HBARING OPEN AT 7t52 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the property is located in the northwest part
of the City at the intersection of 79th Avenue and Beech Street.
The property was recently rezoned from M-2, Heavy Industrial, to
M-3, Outdoor Intensive Heavy Industrial. The property to the north
is also zoned M-3, the properties to the east and south are zoned
M-2, and the property to the west adjacent to the Burlington
Northern tracks is zoned both R-1, Single Family Dwelling, and M-
1, Light Industrial.
Ms. McPherson stated the original special use permit was issued in
1982 to allow rock crushing activities. The City has reviewed the
special use permit on a bi-annual basis depending on whether rock
crushing activities have occurred. Prior to this current request,
the special use permit was extended in 1991. At that time, Park
Construction did not conduct any rock crushing activity due to the
iack of available material for crushing.
Ms. McPherson stated that during the rezoning process which was
processed by the City to rezone parcels from M-2, Heavy Industrial,
to M-3, Outdoor Intensive Heavy Industrial, several residents
appeared at the public hearings to voice their concern regarding
the noise of the crushing activities, height of the stockpiles, and
possible presence of children on the Park Construction property.
Staff also received a letter from an adjacent property owner west
of the railroad tracks. This resident expressed these same
concerns plus hours of operation and general noise and dust
concerns.
Ms. McPherson stated that in speaking to Park Construction, Park
Construction did confirm that they have had problems with vandals
entering the property by cutting through the security fence along
the west property line. The fence is eight feet in height which
is the maximum permitted by City Code.
Ms. McPherson stated Park Construction recently completed a rock
crushing activity from the period of January 16 - March 6, 1993.
This was again the first time in three years that Park Construction
has conducted a rock crushing activity. Park Construction
typically crushes rock or asphalt or concrete during the hours of
7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. These are permitted work hours based on the
City Code. She stated that Mr. Engebretson, Dispatcher for Park
Construction, has said that Park Construction attempts to conduct
these rock crushing activities during the winter months when
windows are closed due to the inclement weather.
12D
PLANNING COMMISSION MB$TING, APRIL 14, 1993 PAGE 6
Ms. McPherson stated that once the material has been crushed, it
is stockpiled on Park Construction property. Staff visually
observed the pile to be between 20-25 feet in height. During the
M-3 rezoning process, the Commission indicated they would like to
evaluate the special use permit and the possibly the height of
these stockpiles.
Ms. McPherson stated the stockpiles are visible from the properties
across the railroad tracks. There is some vegetation which
provides some screening; however, the vegetation is deciduous so
it does not provide year-around screening of the stockpiles.
Ms. McPherson stated that if there is no adverse comment at this
public hearing, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission
recommend approval of the request to extend the 1982 special use
permit with the following stipulations which were applied to the
1982 request:
1. Special Use Permit, SP #82-12, granted only for the
period from March l, 1983, to February 28, 1984, and re-
evaluate the permit at the first regular meeting of the
Council in March 1984, providing there has been one
crushing operation at that time.
2. The City be allowed to dump their waste concrete material
at this site at no cost.
3. Park Construction take the necessary steps to ensure the
City and State noise, dust, and environmental limits are
not exceeded.
4. The rock crusher, generators, and stockpiles be located
as far north and east on the property as possible.
5. The same standards regarding run-off be applied to this
site, as applied in the Rice Creek Watershed area.
Mr. Sielaff asked if Park Construction was in compliance with the
City's noise ordinance during its recent rock crushing activity.
Ms. McPherson stated she could not answer that question as there
was no City staff person on site taking noise readings. To her
knowledge, staff did not receive any complaints.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the City can regulate the height of the
stockpiles.
Ms. McPherson stated there is no stipulation on the original
special use permit to limit the height of the stockpiles, and there
is nothing in the zoning or nuisance ordinances within the City
Code which would limit the height of stockpiled materials. If the
12E
PLANNING COMMISSION ME$TING, APRIL 14. 1993 PAGE 7
Commission is concerned about the height of stockpiled materials,
a specific stipulation will be needed to address this situation.
Mr. Saba asked Mr. Richard Carlson from Park Construction what they
have been doing to address the concerns about the height of the
stockpiles. __
Mr. Carlson stated they have limited the height of the stockpiles.
Since they heard the complaint, they have lowered the piles to 22
feet which is the same height as the building across the street
from their offices. Before, the peaks of the piles could be
anywhere from 26-38 feet in height.
Mr. Carlson stated the City of Fridley dumps all its waste concrete
and asphalt materials at Park Construction at no charge to the
City. Everyone else is charged a minimum of $25-40 per load. Park
Construction also reciprocates in selling back to the City all the
crushed concrete at a reduced cost.
Mr. Carlson stated he read the Planning Commission minutes when
these concerns were raised during the discussion of the rezoning.
He stated the people who complained were 1,100 feet or almast two
600 city blocks from the rock crushing operation and 900 feet to
the edge of the pile. That is a significant distance from any
residential areas.
Mr. Carlson stated that while they were crushing, they made several
attempts to assess the noise levels, and driving up to it in a car,
they could hardly hear it. The railroad trains at this location
make a significant amount of noise which about drowns out any noise
of the crushing activity. When the trucks dump their boxes,
sometimes the drivers slam the tailgates slam which is noisy and
annoying, and they have instructed the drivers not to do that.
Mr. Carlson stated that occasionally with a southeast wind and dry
weather conditions, the dust does blow. However, now that they
have leveled the pile, the wind will not hit those peaks, and that
should curtail a lot of the dust problems. The northwest winds
never affect the residential area. Probably more dust blows around
in the yard than from the stockpiles. They have very heavy
machinery that works around in the yard, and the yard does get very
dusty during dry weather.
Mr. Sielaff asked if Park Construction could wet the piles to keep
them from blowing.
Mr. Carlson stated they do not have any water, but it could be
done.
Mr. Newman asked if any other materials are stockpiled.
12F
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRTL 14, 1993 PAGE 8
Mr. Carlson stated that the only other material stockpiled is the
unprocessed material, and that is kept at a minimum height.
Mr. Carlson stated they have had trouble with chiZdren coming in
and vandalizing the equipment and starting fires. They have hired
a security department to check the property which has _eliminated
a lot of the vandalism. They have also put some yard light�s in the
center of the yard which has also helped the security.
Mr. Oquist asked how often Park Construction has to crush more
material.
Mr. Carlson stated that the pile crushed in Z990 was 80,000 tons.
They still have about 3,000-4,000 tons left. This year they have
a project for a big percentage of it. He did not anticipate the
need to do any rnore crushing for 2-3 years.
Mr. Carlson stated Park Construction has always tried to abide by
whatever the City asks and to do things that are in the best
interests of the City. They will continue to do that.
Mr. Newman stated he has asked Duane Prairie of Park Construction
if he would object if the Commission wanted to incorporate the
hours of operation consistent with what Park Construction is doing
now into the stipulation. Mr. Prairie had said he would not object
to that.
Mr. Carlson stated that when the crushers come in, they want to
get the job done. A crushing job takes so many hours, and if the
hours are extended, it just takes longer to get the jab done. He
believed their working hours were between 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
If 7:00 a.m. is a problem, they would be willing to adjust that.
Ms. Dacy stated the hours of operation per City Code is 7:00 a.m.
to 7:00 p.m. with no work on Sundays.
Mr. Carlson stated that if this special use permit extension is
approved, at the next crushing operation, they are going to monitor
the noise so they can show that the noise generated does not
violate the noise ordinance.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to cZose the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARTNG CLOSED AT 8:17 P.M.
Mr. Saba stated that the Planning Commission had discussed the -
possibility of limiting the height of the stockpiles. They had
also wondered what limitations other cities have on stockpiled
materials. He believed it is something the Commission should
12G
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 14. 1993 PAGE 9
pursue. He was glad to hear that Park Construction is willing to
level the piles off to 22 feet, but is 22 feet is adequate?
Mr. Oquist stated he liked the idea that the stockpile is no higher
than the building near it. He did believe that if they are going
to pick restrictions on height of stockpiles, it should be done in
the M-3, Outdoor Intensive Heavy Industrial zoning regula�ions, and
not in the special use permit.
Ms. Dacy stated the Commission had added a stipulation to the
special use permit section in the ordinance restricting the height,
or they can also request that the Council initiate a zoning
ordinance amendment.
Ms. McPherson stated that when outdoor storage of material exceeds
15 feet in height, that requires a special use permit, but there
is no maximum height.
Mr. Saba stated he appreciated the fact that Park Construction is
leveling off the piles.
Mr. Sielaff stated he agreed the height of the stockpiles for
anything might be something to consider through the zoning process,
rather than through the special use permit. For this particular
facility, he would like to see the problems managed in the best way
possible. There are also the concerns about erosion, dust, and
noise. It really becomes a management issue. Maybe Park
Construction could put together some type of management plan for
the City staff.
Ms. McPherson stated staff could work with the petitioner to
develop an acceptable management plan.
Mr. Carlson asked that the more restrictions that are put on them
by the City, the more complicated things become. He stated Park
Construction is willing to work with staff whenever the City
receives complaints. The file could be researched to find out how
many complaints have been received by the City in the 12 years Park
Construction has been in operation. Park Construction has always
tried to be good member of the business community.
Mr. Carlson stated that because of complaints about the stockpiles,
they have been lowered to 22 feet. Lowering the piles is an
additional cost to Park Construction because the piles then take
up more yard space, leaving less space for their other equipment.
He would recommend that they work with staff; and when complaints
are received, they will work with City staff to resolve the
complaints.
Mr. Sielaff stated a management plan makes the City staff aware of
what Park Construction is doing so that when complaints are
received, the staff can respond to those complaints. It does not
12H
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 14, 1993 PAGE 10
have to be a complex plan. The City does not want to place more
restrictions on Park Construction.
Mr. Carlson stated he had no problem with writing a letter to staff
outlining what Park Construction is doing to address the neighbors'
concerns.
Mr. Newman stated that, as he understands it, Park Construction is
willing to submit to the City a simple summary letter outlining
their management procedures, and that Park Construction is also
willing to meet with staff and with neighbors when complaints
arise.
Ms. Dacy stated that in reviewing the mailing list, it did not
appear that Edward Bishop, 212 Ely Street, was included in the
mailing list for this public hearing. Mr. Bishop had expressed
several concerns in a letter to the Council and Planning
Commission. She apologized for this error, and stated that she
would be more comfortable if the Commission could table this
request until the next meeting so that Mr. Bishop can have an
opportunity to attend and hear the responses to his concerns that
have been made by Mr. Carlson. She stated this would not interfere
with this item going to Council on May 3.
Mr. Oquist suggested staff review the mailing list and records to
make sure no one else has been overlooked for notification.
MOTION by Ms. Modig, seconded by Mr. Saba, to table SP #82-12 until
the next meeting.

3. LOT SPLIT REOUEST, L.S. #93-03, BY MICHAEL OBERLE FOR D& N
FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK:
To create two separate parcels, Parcel 1 and Parcel 2,
described as follows:
Parcel 1: Lots 29, 30, and 31, Block 3, Spring Brook
Park, Anoka County, Minnesota, and together with the
North Half of the vacated alley adjacent to said Lots 29
and 30, Block 3, Spring Brook Park, lying between the
Southerly extensions of the East line of said Lot 29 and
the West line of said Lot 30, in said Block 3, Spring
Brook Park, Anoka County, Minnesota
Parcel 2: Lot 28, Block 3, Spring Brook Park, Anoka
County, Minnesota �
This property is generally located at 260 Longfellow Street
N.E.
121
PLANNING COMMI$SION MEETING. APRIL 14. 1993 PAGE 11
Ms. McPherson stated this property is located in the northwest
corner of the City. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family
Dwelling. Properties to the west, north, and east are also zoned
R-1, Single Family Dwelling; and the property to the southwest is
zoned R-3, General Multiple Family Dwelling.
Ms. McPherson stated the purpose of the lot split is to divide Lot
28 from three other platted lots, Lots 29, 30, and 31, in order for
D& N Federal Savings Bank (represented by Michael Oberle, the
petitioner) to divest itself of the mortgage which was applied for
on Lots 29, 30, and 31. The title history is somewhat complicated
in the fact that there are several properties which are involved
and a combination of contract for deeds and warranty deeds on the
properties.
Ms. McPherson stated that in 1987 Mr. and Mrs. Jaeger received a
mortgage on Lots 29, 30, and 31 from Investors' Savings Bank. In
1988, the Jaegers acquired Lot 28 by tax forfeiture. The mortgage
on Lots 29, 30, and 31 was then assigned to D& N Savings Bank.
In 1990, the parcels were combined into one tax parcel for ease of
processing tax notification, assessments, etc. That in itself has
a more complicated history.
Ms. McPherson stated that in 1991, the Jaegers sold the property,
Lots 28, 29, 30, 31, in its entirety to Mr. Zweig on a contract
for deed. On the same day the property was sold to Mr. Zweig, the
Jaegers assigned their interest in the contract for deed to Mr. and
Mrs. Stewart and then warranty deeded the property to Mr. and Mrs.
Stewart. In 1992, D& N Savings Bank foreclosed on the mortgage
which was assigned to Lots 29, 30, and 31. The mortgage does not
apply to Lot 28.
Ms. McPherson stated the Commission members had a copy of a letter
dated April 14, 1993, from the petitioner, Mr. Oberle. She stated
D& N Savings Bank is attempting to collect on the loan guarantee
from the Department of Housing & Urban Development.
Ms. McPherson stated that by approving the split of Lot 28, the
City would, in effect, be approving a split to create a non-
conforming, unbuildable parcel. The parcel would only be 30 ft.
by 150 ft. Staff spoke with Mr. Stewart who would be the next
owner of Lot 28, should the split be approved. Mr. Stewart has
indicated that he has no interest in receiving Lot 28 as the owner
and, as stated in Mr. Oberle's letter, Mr. Stewart is also not
interested in acquiring the entire property for the amount
indicated in the letter.
Ms. McPherson stated the other interested property owner who
contacted staff is Mr. John Jarvi who lives at 240 Longfellow
Street, the lot adjacent to Lot 28. Mr. Jarvi stated that he had
attempted to purchase Lot 28 when it went tax forfeit in 1988. It
is possible that Mr. Jarvi may still be interested in acquiring Lot
12J
PLANNING COMMISSION MBETING, APRIL 14, 1993 PAGE 12
28. If so, those negotiations would have to occur between Mr.
Jarvi and Mr. Stewart.
Ms. McPherson stated staff has no recommendation at this time
regarding the lot split; however, staff will reiterate that
approving the lot split creates a nonconforming, nonbuildable lot.
Ms. Dacy stated she spoke to Gregg Herrick, City Attorney, late
that afternoon. Mr. Herrick has discussed this matter with Mr.
Oberle. Apparently, there was a question as to whether or not the
lot split application even pertains to this case. Mr. Herrick
verified that the lot split procedure is valid in this case,
because by virtue of creating a separate parcel, they are creating
a parcel that is below the minimum lot area and lot width
requirements in the R-1 zoning ordinance. Staff is concerned that
if the lot split is approved, the lot will be owned by someone who
will not maintain it. So, what they are trying to do with this
process is to get people together and try to get the problem
solved.
Mr. John Miller stated he is a partner of Mike Oberle. Mr. Oberle
is the attorney in their law firm who handles foreclosures, and
that is how he got involved in this particular transaction.
Mr. Miller stated he has gone through the City's subdivision
ordinance, and it does not appear to him that there are any set
criteria of factors that should be taken into consideration when
the Planning Commission or City Council has a lot split to
consider. He would suggest that there are a number of factors that
are relevant, but he did not believe they have to get to that
particular issue at this time.
Mr. Miller stated this is a situation where they have what is
nominally one parcel but is in fact two parcels. One parcel owned
by two different people who never went into partnership to develop
the property, and are being forced together to negotiate when
actually neither party wants to really enter into negotiations to
solve this particular problem.
Mr. Miller stated the mortgage that was taken by the bank occurred
before the combination of the parcels for tax purposes. It appears
that the combination was done for real estate tax purposes in order
to help facilitate sending�out notices and things of that nature
and was not done for zoning purposes. In fact, in 1988 when the
combination took place, Lot 28 was a nonconforming lot at that time
which had evidently been allowed to be created at some time in the
past by the City.
Ms. McPherson stated the staff report does not go into the
combination portion of the title history for tax purposes, but
prior to the meeting, she researched the Assessor's files regarding
this issue. At one time, Lots 28 and 29 were stand-alone parcels.
12K
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 14. 1993 PAGS 13
They were each assigned an individual PIN number. In 1988, Lots
28 and 29 were combined into a single tax parcel. Also, at that
time, Lots 30 and 31 had been a single tax parcel with a single PIN
number. It wasn't until 1990 when the two sets of parcels were
actually combined into one parcel.
Mr. Miller stated D& N Federal Savings Bank took the mortgage
prior to any combination.
Ms. Lynette Jarvi, 240 Longfellow Street, stated they are
interested in Lot 28.
Ms. McPherson stated she would provide the necessary information
to Ms. Jarvi.
Ms. Dacy stated the Commission has two options: (1) to recommend
approval of the lot split subject to Lot 28 being combined with
the property at 240 Longfellow Street and successful conveyance.
This option would move the application on to Council; (2) to
either approve or deny the lot split as is, separate from any other
property owner action.
Mr. Newman stated he has some fairly strong feelings about this.
He believed that from a legal point standpoint, the bank has done
everything properly. One of the tenets of real estate law is that
once the first party records its interest, it gets priority over
anything that happens afterward. The City is trying to implement
good planning policy, but he has grave concerns about preventing
the lots split. As a general practice, he can see the real estate
community becoming quite upset if the City denies this. When the
bank files a mortgage, it cannot later convey title, because it is
bound by decisions after the fact for which it had no input. The
Bank had no control over the decisions made to combine the parcel.
Mr. Newman stated he is also concerned because the house is vacant.
A vacant house creates a potential problem for the lender and also
for the neighbors. There is nothing the City can do that will
address all the concerns, but in some ways the problems are ones
the City has created and not the bank, and he believed the City has
to address the Bank's concerns. Hopefully, at some point in time,
everyone can get together and solve some of the problems.
Ms. Modig stated she agreed that the Commission has to take some
action now.
Mr. Oquist also agreed. He stated it is not the fault of the
petitioner or the property owners that this lot was created.
Thirty foot lots were acceptable at one time. The City has had to
deal with them in the past, and the City is going to have to deal
with this one. He believed the lot split should be approved. If
the Commission does not approve the lot split, nothing happens and
12L
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 14, 1993 PAG$ 14
that is worse than getting things organized so things can move
forward.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOIISLY.
Ms. McPherson stated this item will go to the City Council on May

4. VACATION REOUEST, SAV #93-01, BY MARK AND JEAN SCHWARTZ:
To vacate the East 8 feet of the alley adjacent to the West
lot line of Lot 13, Block 2, Spring Valley Addition, generally
located at 1372 - 64th Avenue N.E.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioners request that a vacation be
approved to vacate the east eight feet of the alley located
directly adjacent to their property. The property is zoned R-1,
Single Family Dwelling. There is additional R-1 zoning to the east
and south, and there is R-1 and C-1, Local Business, to the west.
Ms. McPherson stated that between the Schwartz' property and the
Labandz' property at 1356 - 64th Avenue, there is a 16 foot
easement for an alley which extends from 64th Avenue on the north
to Rice Creek Road on the south. The petitioners are requesting
that the 300 foot by 8 foot alley.easement be vacated. There are
utilities located in the alley easement.
Ms. McPherson stated the alley was originally platted with the
Spring Valley Addition and could provide a means of access to the
rear of these properties in this general vicinity should a road in
an east/west direction be constructed along the rear property lines
12M
PLANNING COMMISSION ME$TING, APRIL 14. 1993 PAGE 15
to the east. If the alley is vacated and a street and utility
easement is not maintained over the vacated alley, this would
potentially limit the number of options for a future subdivision
in this particular neighborhood. Staff is requesting that this
type of easement be maintained over the vacated portion of the
alley. A utility easement would also need to be maintained.
Ms. McPherson stated that after the petitioners applied for the
vacation request, the Labandz', the neighbors to the west, also
applied for a vacation request to vacate the west half of the alley
easement. Staff has contacted both petitioners to see if a joint
vacation request could be processed at one time, thereby vacating
the entire all-ey.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending the Commission recommend
approval of the vacation request with two stipulations at a
minimum•
1. The petitioners shall execute and record a street and
utility easement in place of the vacated alley.
2. The petitioners shall execute and record a hold-harmless
agreement provided by the City.
Mr. Mark Schwartz stated that this alley was platted 52 years ago,
and it has never been used as an alley and probably never will.
He stated he has lived here 7 1/2 years, and the alley was never
maintained before he moved there. He has put a lot of money into
seed and dirt to make it Zook like part of the neighborhood. Yet,
because it is not vacated, he cannot use the alley the way he wants
to use it. He stated he realized a utility easement has to be
maintained. He was not sure whether the street easement is needed
and would prefer to see the street easement not part of the
stipulations.
Mr. Schwartz stated that if all the neighbors on the block decided
to split the backs of their lots to create another block, he would
suggest bringing a street down the middle and curving it out to
Rice Creek Road. The City would not have to acquire any additional
property. He stated his house sits approximately 20 feet off the
alley, so he did not know how much closer the City could come to
his home to acquire enough property for a street. �
Mr. Frank Labandz stated he did not want to see any street there
because the children play in that area. A street would be a bad
idea.
Ms. Dacy asked Mr. Labandz if they are interested in vacating the
west half of the alley.
Mr. Labandz stated, yes, they filed for a vacation on Monday, April
29.
12N
PLANNING COMMISSION ME$TING, APRIL 14, 1993 PAGB 16
Ms. Dacy stated that if the Schwartz' are willing, the vacation
application for the west half of the alley could be heard at the
April 28th Planning Commission meeting. Then, both applications
could be combined with one ordinance going to the Council for the
same alley. _
Mr. Schwartz stated that if both the vacations can be done at the
same time, that would be great.
Ms. Modig stated she is a little concerned about the stipulation
for a street easement.
Mr. Sielaff stated he would like to see that part of the
stipulation deleted.
Mr. 5aba agreed. He did not think it very likely that a street
would ever be built there.
Mr. Oquist stated he also would agree to the elimination of the
street easement from the stipulations.
Mr. Newman stated he would be inclined to keep the street easement
as part of the stipulations. This area has had a variety of
applications over the years, and it is also a unique area because
of the high water table. Even though he cannot visualize how the
easement would be used, he has seen examples in the past where
leaving a street easement has been a benefit. There are not many
buildable sites left in Fridley, and it allows the City to keep its
options open.
MOTION by Ms. Modig, seconded by Mr. Saba, to table action on SAV
#93-01 by Mark and Jean Schwartz until the next Planning Commission
meeting when Mr. and Mrs. Labandz' vacation application will be
heard.

SP #93-04, by Target Stores

Request
The petitioner requests that a special use permit be issued to
allow a garden center or nursery which requires outdoor storage.
The request is for 755 - 53rd Avenue N.E.
Site
The Target propert
Avenue, and east of
General Shopping Cen
The property to the
the property to th
Heights.
Analysis
y is located south of I-694, north of 53rd
Central Avenue. The property is zoned C-3,
ter District as are the properties to the east.
west is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling and
e south is located in the City of Columbia
The petitioner is proposing to use a 20' x 40' hoop house, as it
is described by the greenhouse industry, to conduct outdoor sales
of bedding plants and related garden items. The petitioner has
proposed three possible locations for the garden center. These
locations are on the concrete pad along the east and south side of
the building adjacent to Northwest Fabrics. All of the proposed
locations minimize conflicts with vehicular traffic.
The petitioner is proposing to conduct garden center sales until
approximately June 30, 1993. If the garden center is successful,
the petitioner will continue to conduct garden sales on an annual
basis. It may be appropriate for the Planning Commission to limit
the time the special use permit is valid until it can be determined
if the petitioner will be conducting garden sales on an annual
basis. Fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides should not be
stored in the garden center to minimize or eliminate environmental
concerns.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval
of the request to the City Council with the following stipulations:
1. There shall be no outdoor storage of fertilizers, pesticides,
or herbicides.
2. The petitioner shall notify the Community Development
Department in writing by December 31, 1993 whether the sales
will occur on an annual basis.

Staff Report
SP #93-04, by Target Stores
Page 3
3. If there are no complaints or issues raised by the operation
of the garden center, the sales may continue on an annual
basis. If problems do occur, the Planning Commission and City
Council may review the special use permit to change the
stipulations or determine if revocation is necessary.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the request to the City Council. The Commission added a fourth
stipulation:
4. The hoop house shall be located at alternate location #3.
Staff Update
Staff received updated information from Target regarding the types
of materials to be sold at the garden center. In addition to
bedding plants and packaged bulk items such as top soil and peat
moss, Target will have a wide selection of trees and shrubs. The
trees and shrubs will be stored on pallets and located outside the
hoop house. The arrangement of pallets should not adversely impact
traffic around the hoop house (see attached drawing).
City Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning
Commission action.

J.R. Johnson's Parking Lot S�ructures
Th ��2�2�'�arking Lot House was designe�d to maximize ease and efficiency of set up. No palt of this struCture (s longer
ihan 12', and can easlly fit into a pickup. Installation time is less than 3 hours.
We've designed this greenhouse to be assembled using a minimum of tools. The 3 piece hoops are made from
1.315" O.D. tubing and are held together with a spring-lock pin (Detail A). They are installed on 4' centers. The 3 runs of
continuous purlins are attached using our Hammer-clamp (Detaii B& C). The 4x4 angle-base assembly comes in 12'
sections, with welded hoop sockets. A wire insert polytock is attached to the outside of the base and end hoop. The
cover width is 32', and either clear or white poly film can be used. The wire lock also is compatible with shade materials.
You can also purchase an optional endwall frame package that has one large door opening and polylock to finish off
your structure.

Community Development Department

6431 University Ave. N.E.
Fridley MN 55432
Since the Planning Commission meeting on 4/14, some additional
information has been received. In our original meeting I stated
that the scope of the project would be limited to the bedding
plant hut with so�ne additional pallet spaces around the hut for
bagged, non-chemical items like wood chips and peat. The new
information is that we want to also have some spaces on pallets
for schrubs and a limified assortment of trees.
I have enclosed a listing of the additional items as well as
a schematic of the layout. One of the concerns brought up at
the meeting was the traffic flow through our lot. The proposed
iayout with the additionaZ pallets will actually improve the
traffic flow patterns and reduce any congestion.
If there are any questions or concerns, please let me know.
I will do my best to get you the answer A.S.A.P..
Thanks�

Lot Split Request, L.S. #93-03, by Michael
Oberle; 260 Longfellow Street N.E.
The Planning Commission conducted an informal hearing regarding the
lot split request at its April 14, 1993 meeting. The Planning
Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the lot split
to the City Council. The Planning Commission cited the following
reasons for approval:
1. The combination of the lots into one tax parcel is
not under control of the bank. Either the Gity or
County required the combination; the record is not
clear.
2. Approving the lot split moves the problem off "dead
center". Once Lot 28 is split, the property owners
can move forward.
3. The more time which passes before Lots 29-31 can be
conveyed to a new owner, the greater the risk that
the dwelling will be damaged.

Request
by Michael Oberle
The petitioner requests that a single platted lot, Lot 28, Block
3, Spring Brook Park, be�split from three platted lots;�Lots 29 -
31, Block 3, Spring Brook Park. The purpose of the lot split is
to rectify a mortgage foreclosure. The subject parcel is addressed
as 260 Longfellow Street N.E.
Site
Located on the property is a single family dwelling unit with a
detached two car garage. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family,
as are the properties to the west, north, and east. The property
to the south is zoned R-3, General Multiple Family Dwelling.
Analysis
The property has a complicated title history leading to the
foreclosure of the property by D& N Federal Savings Bank. The
title history is as follows:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
P. and S. Jaeger received a mortgage on Lots 29, 30,
and 31 in 1987 from Investors Savings Bank.
Lot 28 was acquired by P. and S. Jaeger in 1988 by tax
forfeiture.
The mortgage for Lots 29, 30, and 31 was assigned
from Investors Savings Bank to D and N Savings Bank.
In 1990, the parcels were combined in one tax parcel.
In 1991, P.
28, 29, 30,
deed.
On the same
interest in
Stewart.
and S. Jaeger sold the property (Lots
and 31) to T. Zweig on a contract for
day, P. and S. Jaeger assign their
the contract for deed to a U. and C.
The Jaeger's then conveyed by warranty deed the
entire property to the Stewart's.
In 1992, D and N Savings Bank foreclosed on the
mortgage assigned to Lots 29, 30, and 31.

Staff Report
L.S. #93-03, by Michael Oberle
Page 3
In order for the mortgage to be rectified, the mortgage company
needs to split Lot 28 from Lots 29, 30, and 31, as the mortgage
does not apply to Lot 28. The bank owns Lots 29-31, but not Lot
28. Lot 28 is owned by Mr. Stewart. Splitting Lot 2g from the
remaining three lots would create a parcel that is nonconforming
and unbuildable. It is only 40' x 150'. Staff has spoken with Mr.
Stewart regarding Lot 28, as Mr. Stewart is the fee owner of Lot
28. Mr. Stewart has no interest in Lot 28. He indicated to staff
that he wants the split to be stopped if at all possible. He has
also indicated to staff that he is willing to negotiate with the
mortgage company to buy out the mortgage and attempt to sell the
property as one complete parcel if terms can be agreed to.
In addition, staff has also been contacted by Mr. John Jarvi of
240 Longfellow Street, the property adjacent to Lot 28. It appears
that Mr. Jarvi attempted to purchase Lot 28 through tax forfeiture.
It is possible that Mr. Jarvi would still have an interest in
acquiring Lot 28 should it be split from the remaining three lots.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission take no action
regarding this lot split request until the petitioner has worked
with Mr. Stewart and Mr. Jarvi regarding the alternate solutions.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the request to the City Council. The Commission cited the
following reasons for approval:
1. The combination of the lots into one tax parcel was
not under the control of the bank. Either the City
or County required the combination; the record is
not clear.
2. Approving the split moves the problem off "dead
center". Once Lot 28 is split, the property owners
can move forward.
3. The more time which passes before Lots 29-31 can be
conveyed to a new owner, the greater the risk that
the dwelling will be damaged.

z received the Pl�nning Cammission agenda and exhibits which relata
ta the lot sp�.it for 26p Langfellowr. S wanted to addrass a number
of items and requast that you pass cvpies of this lette� onta the
Cammissian prior to the hearing.
First, the report states tha'� thE purpose of the lOt split is to
"rectify a martgage fQreclosure". There is absolu�e].y nathing
irregular in �he mo�tg�ge foreclosure ac�Cl.on completed by this
office. It coatpiies wiih a�l. the requirements af M3nar►ssota
St�tut�s� with the result that the fee ownership of Lots 29, 30 and
31 is now vested in n& N Bank, Rather, the lot split is required
to correct the i.mproper combinatian of twa separate �ax parceXs
into one t�x parcel withaut regard to the legai or practical
implications af th� cvmbination.
The applieants lietx �r�terest was areated in 1987.• Lot 28 was
acquired by the th�n pwner of the proper�y in 1988. z can only
essume that the creation af one �ax parGel was done �t tYYe behest
of ei�her the City or the County. 1 can't beli.eve that the
taxpay�r would undertake this vn his own.
Secox�d, the report sta�es at page 3 that the lot �p3�it is needed ta
"rectify[y] the mox'tgage". Again, I want �o emphasize that
absolutely nothing is necessary to rectify or carrect that valid
securit� intez-est af n& N Bank or the �esulting foraclosure.
Third, I'd l.ike to address the issue of Mr. Stewart purchasing the
bank's interes� in Lots 29, 30, and 31.- The mor-tgage which was
fareclosed was arxd FHA �nsured mortgage. In arcler for D& N 8ank
to collect on the �.oar� guarantee, ri& N must deed the praperty to
HUD. Upan conveyance, the bank will col3ect appsoxirtately $78,900
from HUD. Mr. Stewart indicated th�t he is not in a position to
pay that kind of money far the property. Furthermore, he

�cknawledged that there is na incen�ive for the bank ta negatiate
with hi�a when the HUD guar�►ritee will pay them in fuYl.
i wauld li.ke to advise you af trie possible consequences of delays
in th� canveyance of the property to HUD. D& N�e�tic will face an
interest cutofF �nd the possible denial of it's �laim by HUA. The
difference between �he guarantee and net proaeeds if the bank must
sell the prop�rty itself can run into the thousands of dollars.
If th�re �re al�ernate salutions, those can be explored between Mr.
Stgwart and Mr. Jar�v�. I da no� b�lieve that is a basi$ ta impede
the Bank's applic�tion.

Per Section 205.19.02.C.2 of the Fridley City Code, to allow

Mr. Newman stated that at the last meeting, it was discovered that
Edward Bishop, 212 Ely Street, who had expressed concerns about
Park Construction in a letter to the Council and Planning
Commission had not been notified of the public hearing. Staff
asked that this item be tabled until the next meeting in order to
give Mr. Bishop and any other neighbors the opportunity to attend
13

this hearing. He stated the Commission members had a copy of a
letter from Mr. Bishop dated April 21, 1993.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to receive into the
record the letter dated April 21, 1993, from Edward Bishop, 212 Ely
Street N.E. ,
IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYB� CBAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
Mr. Newman stated that at the last meeting after an extensive staff
report and Commission discussion, it was the consensus of the
Commission members that they were comfortable with the approval of
the extension of this special use permit with the five stipulations
recommended by staff, with the addition of a sixth stipulation,
that Park Construction provide to staff a summary letter outlining
how Park Construction will manage the site in the event there are
problems.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the stockpile has been lowered.
Mr. Carlson stated the stockpile is 22 feet, the height of the
nearest building.
Mr. Kondrick asked if, in the future, the stockpiles will be no
higher than 22 feet.
Mr. Carlson stated that is correct, except when they are crushing.
During crushing, the piles can become 30 feet high. After the
crushing is completed, the piles will be lowered to 22 feet.
Mr. Carlson stated that he has talked to Mr. Bishop and addressed
the items addressed in Mr. Bishop's letter. He told Mr. Bishop
that at no time was he aware that there was any noise problem at
Park Construction. He told Mr. Bishop that if Mr. Bishop has any
problems in the future with noise, Mr. Bishop should contact him
and he would be happy to meet him at the site and address the
problem immediately.
Mr. Carlson stated he tried to find out what noise Mr. Bishop was
referring to, and Mr. Bishop said it was a steady, rumbling,
growling noise. Mr. Carlson stated he cannot hear that noise, and
he would invite any member of the Planning Commission to the site
to listen for that noise. At the last meeting, he mentioned that
the noise that is prevalent and annoying is when the trucks dump
the concrete, they drive ahead and slam their tailgates. That is
a noise they are going to try to curtail. However, the constant
rumbling noise is not there.
Mr. Kondrick asked if there is any way that Park Construction can
keep the dust to a minimum.
13A
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 28. 1993 PAGE 3
Mr. Carlson stated the dust is not from the piles. The dust is off
the property. Equipment comes in and drops more dirt, and that is
where the dust is coming from. There are a couple of alternatives
to minimize the dust. They cannot blacktop the yard because they
are running crawler tractors around. They could concrete the
entire yard, but the cost would be prohibitive. They _�ould also
water the yard.
Mr. Carlson stated he had asked Mr. Bishop to call Michele
McPherson to tell her of their discussion so it could get on record
before the Planning Commission so the City knows Mr. Carlson was
willing to meet with him, discuss the problem, and try to correct
it. Apparently, he did not leave that message with Ms. McPherson.
Ms. McPherson stated she did receive a telephone call from Mr.
Bishop; however, she was not available at the time he called and
did not personally speak with him. She was unable to contact again
before the meeting. She stated she will contact him and verify
his conversation with Mr. Carlson before the Council meeting on
Monday, May 3.
Mr. Kondrick stated it seemed that the main concern of Park
Construction was the blowing dust rather than noise.
Mr. Carlson stated he can understand that, because there is a lot
of dust. He is willing to work with City staff to find a way to
correct the dust problem. They do have a planting area with trees
and shrubs and screened fence around three sides of their property.
As of yet, not all the property along the Burlington Northern
tracks is owned by Park. When they can purchase these last lots,
they intend to put a screened fence all around their property which
would also help the dust blowing out of the yard.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to recommend to City
Council approval of an extension of a special use permit, SP #82-
12, by Park Construction Company, per Section 205.19.02.C.2 of the
Fridley City Code, to allow rock crushing activities to continue
until May of 1995 on the West 1/2 of the Northeast 1/4 of the
Southeast 1/4 of Section 3, Township 30, Range 24, except the South
500 feet thereof, generally located at 7900 Beech Street N.E., with
the following stipulations:
1. Special Use Permit, SP #82-12, granted only for the
period from June 1, 1993, to May 31, 1995. If there have
been no rock crushing operations during that time, staff
shall be allowed to extend the permit for another two
year period. If there have been crushing operations, the
permit shall be brought before the City Council prior to
May 31, 1995.
2. The City shall be allowed to dump their waste concrete
material at this site at no cost.
13B
PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING, APRIL 28. 1993 PAGE 4
3. Park Construction shall take the necessary steps to
ensure that the City and State noise, dust, and
environmental limits are not exceeded.
4. The rock crusher, generators, and stockpiles shall be
located as far north and east on the property as
possible.
5. The same standards regarding run-off shall be applied to
this site, as applied in the Rice Creek Watershed area.
6. Park Construction shall submit a letter to City staff
summarizing Park Construction's management plan for
addressing noise and dust complaints.
UFON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED tTNANIMOII3LY.
2. (TABLED 4/14/93) VACATION REQUEST, SAV #93-01. BY MARK AND
JEAN SCHWARTZ AND FRANK AND VALLIE LABANDZ:
To vacate the entire alley located between Lots 13 and the
East 118 feet of Lots 15 and 16, Block 2, Spring Valley
Addition, generally located between 1356 and 1372 - 64th
Avenue N.E.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to remove the item
from the table.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPLRSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
Ms. McPherson stated the original vacation request was to vacate
the east 8 feet of the alley by Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz. Subsequent
to their application for the alley vacation, Mr. and Mrs. Labandz
also filed a vacation request for the west 8 feet of the same
alley. The two requests have been combined into one request and
will be proceeding to Council as one request.
Ms. McPherson stated the vacation request is now to vacate the 16
foot alley located between the two properties addressed as 1356
and 1372 - 64th Avenue. The Schwartz' portion of the alley
vacation will be slightly longer as they have approximately 60 ieet
more depth to their lot than the Labandz'.
Ms. McPherson stated utilities, including a sanitary sewer line,
underground telephone lines, and overhead utility lines, are
located in the alley. NSP has requested that an easement be
maintained over the vacated alley.
Ms. McPherson stated that at the last meeting, they discussed the
possibility of future subdivision in this particular neighborhood
13C
PLANNING COMMISSION MEBTINQ, APRIL 28. 1993 PAG$ 5
which would possibly connect with an east/west street along the
south property lines of the Schwartz' and those properties to the
east. Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz pointed out that there is a second
alternative to use the platted alley and connect to Rice Creek Road
to the south.
Ms. McPherson stated John Flora, Public Works Director,�submitted
a memo dated April 23, 1993, regarding the vacation request to the
Community Development staff. Mr. Flora stated that historically
this particular alley as proposed to be vacated has been viewed as
a potential street for planning purposes. Prior to this request,
it has been proposed that a storm water system would be constructed
which would handle storm water from the Creek Ridge Park area north
of Mississippi Street to the Harris Pond ditch which is located
south of the subject parcel. He recommended denial of the vacation
request.
Ms. McPherson stated the City has received 100� agreement from the
abutting property owners regarding the vacation, so the Council�s
policy requiring 100� participation by the abutting property owners
has been met.
Ms. Dacy stated the Community Development staff wanted the Planning
Commission and the petitioners to be aware of this memo. Staff's
original recommendation was that if the alley is vacated that the
street easement be retained.
Mr. Kondrick stated that if the Commission recommends approval of
the vacation with the street and utility easements, is stipuZation
#2 requiring the petitioners to execute and record a hold harmless
agreement provided by the City still needed?
Mr. Newman stated, yes, that stipulation is stili necessary. The
reason for the vacation request is because the petitioners want to
do some plantings and fencing in the alley where there are
easements. For that reason, staff wants a hold-harmless agreement
so if the City does need to do utility work, there is no claim
against the City.
Ms. Jean Schwartz, 1372 - 64th Avenue, stated Mr. Flora's memo came
as a total shock to her. She stated that in December 1992, when
they were working on the alley vacation, they spoke with Mr. Flora.
Mr. Flora had stated he had no problem with the vacation as long
as the utility easement was retained. He did not say anything
about any storm water system.
Ms. Dacy stated the Commission has to decide on one of the
following options:
1. Does the Commission want to reserve a strip for some type
of street easement?
13D
PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING, APRIL 28, 1993 PAGE 6
2. If the street issue is important enough, does the
Commission want to recommend denial of the vacation and
keep the alley, or does the Commission want to keep the
16 foot street easement to reserve that option?
3. Does the Commission want to just require the utility
easement and not require the street easement?
Ms. Schwartz stated that she and her husband would prefer not to
have the street easement, but they are not totally opposed to the
street easement. Maybe the City Council is going to have to decide
what they want to do with this land, long term.
Ms. Schwartz stated regarding the storm sewer system, is this still
connected to the TCAAP line which has now been moved to 64th
Avenue? She asked staff to check to see if the storm sewer system
is related to the TCAAP before the Council meeting.
Mr. Saba stated he would be in favor of recommending approval with
the street easement because it leaves the option open for the City
to construct a street in the future.
Ms . Modig stated she could not see the City ever constructing a
street. She stated a lot of property would have to be taken away
from the neighbors to make enough room for a street, and there are
other options for access to the property.
Ms. Schwartz stated their property is right on the line, so if a
street was ever constructed, property would have to be taken from
the Labandz'. She stated she believed it would be very difficult
to put a street in there.
Mr. Newman stated that for certain reasons such as emergency
access, the City has constructed one-way streets, and that is an
option. The difficulty here is they do not know how this will ever
be developed in the future, and he believed they need to maintain
a full range of options for the City.
Mr. Saba stated he agreed they have to give the City some options
for future development.
Mr. Kondrick stated that in lieu of future development and
emergency access, he agreed it would be good to keep their options
open.
Mr. Oquist stated they can recommend approval of the vacation with
the street easement, and the petitioners can use the property as
they want, with the understanding that if the City ever does
anything, they will have to tear out any landscaping or fencing.
He did not foresee a street ever being put in. The alley is not
wide enough, and property would have to be taken from Mr. Labandz.
A street in this location could also provide traffic flow problems
13E
PLANNING COMMi88ION MEETING, APRIL 28, 1993 PAGE 7
that the City miqht not want. He stated he would vote in favor of
recommending approval of the vacation with the utility and street
easement stipulation.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to recommend to City
Council approval of vacation request, SAV #93-01, by Mark and Jean
Schwartz and Frank and Vallie Labandz, to vacate the entire alley
located between Lots 13 and the East 118 feet of Lots 15 and 16,
Block 2, Spring Valley Addition, generally located between 1356 and
1372 - 64th Avenue N.E., with the following stipulations:
1.
�
The petitioners shall execute and record a street and
utility easement in place of the vacated alley.
The petitioners shall execute and record a hold-harmless
agreement provided by the City.

Staff Report
SP #82-12, by Park Construction
Page 2
Reguest
The petitioner requests that special use permit, SP #$2-12, for
rock crushing activities be e�rtended until May 1995. The request
is for ?900 Beech Street N.E.
Site
The property is located in the northwest quadrant of the
intersection of 79th Avenue and Beech Street. The property is
zoned M-3, Outdoor Intensive, Heavy Industrial. The property to
the north is also zoned M-3. The properties to the east and south
are zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial. The property to the west adjacent
to the Burlington Northern Railroad tracks is zoned R-1, Single
Family Dwelling.
Analysis
The original special use permit was issued in 1982 to allow rock
crushing activities. The special use permit has been reviewed and
reissued on a bi-annual basis pending the determination that rock
crushing activities have occurred. Prior to the current request,
the permit was extended in 1991 (see City Council minutes dated
July 1, 1991). At that time, Park Construction had not conducted
a rock crushing activity due to the lack of available material to
crush.
The Planning Commission during the rezoning of property from M-2,
Heavy Industrial to M-3, Outdoor Intensive, Heavy Yndustrial,
received resident complaints regarding the height of the pile, the
presence of children on the Park Construction property climbing the
piles, and the hours of operation. Staff received a letter from
a neighbor complaining about these items {please see attached
letter and minutes).
Park Construction has confirmed that they have had problems with
vandals entering the property by cutting through the security fence
located along the west property line adjacent to the railroad
tracks. The fence is eight feet in height as limited by the City
Code.
Park Construction's typical crushing hours are from 7:00 a.m. to
6:30 p.m. Mr. Engebretson, Dispatcher for Park Construction,
indicated that they attempt to conduct all crushing activities
during the winter months as most people have their windows closed
due to the inclement weather. The most recent rock crushing
activity occurred from the period of January 16 to March 6, 1993.
Again, it was the first time in three years that Park Construction
conducted a rock crushing event due to the lack of available
materials to crush.
The material, once it has been crushed, is stock-piled within the
Park Construction yard. The piles appear to be approximately 20-
13L

25 feet in height. The Planning Commission indicated during the
M-3 rezoning process that they wanted to evaluate the height of
these stock piles. These stock piles are currently visible from
the adjacent neighborhood; however, natural vegetation on the site
provides some screening. As the vegetation is deciduous, it does
not provide year-round screening of the stock piles. �
Staff reviewed the special use and address files and did not
observe any documented complaints regarding the operation by Park
Construction.
Recommendation
If there is no adverse comment at the public hearing before the
Planning Commission, staff would recommend that the Planning
Commission recommend approval of the request to the City Council,
with the following stipulations from the 1982 approval:
1. Special Use Permit, SP #82-12, granted only for the period
from June 1, 1993 to May 31, 1995. If there have been no
crushing operations during that time, staff shall be allowed
to extend the permit for another two year period. If there
have been crushing operations, the permit shall be brought
before the City Council prior to May 31, 1995.
2. The City shall be allowed to dump their waste concrete
material at this site at no cost.
3. Park Construction shall take the necessary steps to ensure the
City and State noise, dust, and environmental limits are not
exceeded.
4. The rock crusher, generators, and stock piles shall be located
as far north and east on the property as possible.
5. The same standards regarding run-off shall be applied to this
site, as applied in the Rice Creek Watershed area.
Planninq Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the request to the City Council. The Planning Commission added an
additional stipulation:
6. Park Construction shall submit a letter to staff
summarizing Park Construction's management plan for
addressing noise and dust complaints.
City Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning
Commission's action.

IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTiNG AYE� CHAIRPERSON BETZOLD DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE POBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:20 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated this request is to follow up on the City's
adoption of the M-3, Outdoor Intensive, Heavy Industrial District.
13R�
PLANNING COMMI33ION M�ETING, OCTOBER 14. 1992 PAGE 8
The City has created a third industrial district from the M-1,
Light Industrial District, and M-2, Heavy Industrial District. The
purpose of the M-3 district was tb create a district in which those
uses which require a large amount of outdoor storage would have to
be limited and controlled in that particular district. Staff was
specifically concerned abaut trucking terminals and outdoor storage
yards. The City Council had a desire to have more� control over
where those types of uses would.be located in the City. During the
evaluation and creation of the ordinance, staff looked at three
options: - -
A.
�
C.
Create M-3 zoning district in text omly.
Create M-3 zoning district in text and on map.
Maintain current ordinances.
Ms. McPherson stated the City Council chose Option B to create the
text, create the new zoning district, and rezone certain parcels
to M-3 district.
Ms. McPherson stated that while adopting the M-3, Outdoor
Intensive, Heavy Industrial zoning district regulations, the City
also amended the M-1, Light Industrial �and M-2, Heavy Industrial
zoning distriet regulations in order to eliminate the outdoor
intensive.uses from those districts. The properties to be rezoned
contain_outdoor intensive uses and tliey are generally located north
of 79th Avenue, west of University Avenue, and east of the railroad
tracks. These properties include Park Construction, ANR Trucking;
Joseph Land_Trucking Company, the small.vacant piece just east of
Jose.ph Land Trucking Company, and a vacant piece west of. Hickory
Street and east"of the Burlington Northern Railroad Tracks, just
5outh of the Springbrook Nature Center, �
Ms. McPherson stated the proposed r�zoning brings the trucking
terminals and construction companies into conformance. At'the same
time, the M-3 district still allows those uses which are currently
permitted in the M-1 and M-2 districts, so the properties stili
have a wide variety of uses. The adjacent roadways have been
designed to.accommodate the amount of daily truck traffic in the
area associated with these uses. It is the City's opinion that
this area of the community is best suited for the M-3, Outdoor
Intensive, Heavy Industrial zoning classification.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending tYiat the Planning
Commission recommend approval of the re2oning of these parcels from
M-2, Heavy Industrial, to M-3, Outdoor Intensive, Heavy Industrial�.
Mr. Betzold asked if the businesses located
wi�l be allowed to do
allowed �to do in M-2
in the M-3 district?
anything different in
districts. Are there
13S
in the new M-3 district
M-3 that they were not
any more restrictions
PLANNING_COMMISSION ME�TING. OCTOBER 14. 1992 PAGE 9
Ms. McPherson stated the only significant difference is that
trucking terminals and outdoor storage yards are permitted in the
M-3 zoning district and are no longer allowed in the M-1 or M-2
districts. There are significant landscaping and screening
requiremants for t�ese types�of uses.
Mr. KondriCk stated he�has driyen by Park Construction recently,-
and their gravel pile is_very high, beyond what he would think
would be an acceptable height. Is there any way to restrict the
.height of the gravel pile? � �
Ms. McPherson stated Park Construction is issued a rock crushing
permit every two years. That would be the vehicle by which the
City could control the height of the piles� of dirt, asphalt, .
concrete chunks; etc. As of right now, there is nothing in the
ordinance that deals with this particular issue. �
Mr. Kondrick stated he believed the Planning Commission should be •
notif�ied when the rock crushing�permit is goi�g to be reviewed by
the City Council. .
Mr: �Andy Lindquist, 200 Ely Street N.E., stated that he liVes ,
across the traeks from the proposed rezoning. He asked if it would
be possible to grandfather in the �outdoor intensive use so the
existing businesses have their current abilities, rather than to
rezone the property? He understood�that staff is saying the use
of these properties is going to re�ain the same, but with the �
rezoning, he could see these businesses getting away wi�th more..and �
more before the City finds out and cracks down on them.
Mr. Lindquist stated he agreed with Mr. Kondrick, that the gravel
pile at Park Construction is horrible. His neighbors complain
every time it is windy and the dust from that pile blows all over:�
Mr. Lindquist stated one of his neighbors who could�hot attend the
meeting asked him to submit�a letter to the Planning Commission.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Savage, to receive into the
record a letter from Edward Bishop, 212 Ely Street N.E., in which
Mr. Bishop stated that he is opposed to the rezoriing and that the
Planning Commission should consider the impact this rezoning will
have on the residential neighborhovd and Springbrook Nature Center.

Mr. Lindstrom stated his neighbors also complain about noise from
Park Construction, especially when the concrete is being crushed.
When the City is reviewing the rock crushing permit, he would also
like the City to consider, not only the_height of the gravel pile,
but also the hours of operation. �

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 14, 1992 PAGE 10
Ms. Dacy stated that in the four years she has been with the City,
she has not received any complaints from the neighbors about Park
Construction's operation. She would encourage the neighbors that
if there are problems, the City staff needs to know about those
problems. The Council will react to�the testimony of the neighbors
at the public hearing on this rezoning. �
Mr. Betzold stated he would also encourage the neighbors to contact
not only City staff, but also City Council members, so the Council
members are aware of these problems.
Ms. Dacy stated the rock crushing activity will still require a
special use permit under the M-3 zoning, so the City still has the
ability to enforce stipulations if they have a documented record
of noise issues and complaints over a sustained period of time.
Ms. McPherson stated the City has. adopted by reference.the MPCA
standards which would require�Park Construction to comply with air
pollution and dust standards. The City has limits on hours of
operation in general. The City also has a noise ordinance and the
City's Code Enforcement Officer or police will take sound tests.
Additional staff people are also available .through the MPCA to help.
mitigate some af these issues. But, first, the City has to know
about these problems.
Mr. Saba stated tl�at if�.they do not have height restrictions now
for Park Construction, they should address�that now, not wait for
another two years. ' .
Ms. Peggy Brown, 170 I;iberty Street N.E., stated that noise.from
Park Construction has been a problem, but she now knows what the
neighborhood has to do to bring that issue to the Council. She is
not concern�d about the height of the gravel pile other than from
a safety stand�oint when children climb on it. She stated her only
concern.with the rezoning to M-3 was that these businesses were
going to be allowed more than they were allowed in M-1 and M-2
zoning, but she no longer has that concern.
Ms. McPherson stated the other issue is that once they have
property that is nonconforming, policy-wise it becomes very
difficult to deal with. With Park Const�ruction, there are other
avenues to explore to correct any vio�ations.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Sherek, to close the public

MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the reading
of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing.
IIPON A VOICB VOTL� ALL VOTING AY13� CHAIRPBRSON NEWMAN DECLARBD TH13
MOTION CARRILD AND THE PIIBLIC HEARINti OP$N AT 7t52 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the property is located in the northwest part
of the City at the intersection of 79th Avenue and Beech Street.
The property was recently rezoned from M-2, Heavy Industrial, to
M-3, Outdoor Intensive Heavy Industrial. The property to the north
is also zoned M-3, the properties to the east and south are zoned
M-2, and the property to the west adjacent to the Burlington
Northern tracks is zoned both R-1, Single Family Dweliing, and M-
1, Light Industrial.
Ms. McPherson stated the original special use permit was issued in
i982 to allow rock crushing activities. The City has reviewed the
special use permit on a bi-annual basis depending on whether rock
crushing activities have occurred. Prior to this current request,
the special use permit was extended in 1991. At that time, Park
Construction did not conduct any rock crushing activity due to the
lack of available material for crushing.
Ms. McPherson stated that during the rezoning process which was
processed by the City to rezone parcels from M-2, Heavy Industrial,
to M-3, Outdoor Intensive Heavy Industrial, several residents
appeared at the public hearings to voice their concern regarding
the noise of the crushing activities, height of the stockpiles, and
possible presence of children on the Park Construction property.
Staff also received a letter from an adjacent property owner west
of the railroad tracks. This resident expressed these same
concerns plus hours of operation and general noise and dust
concerns.
Ms. McPherson stated that in speaking to Park Construction, Park�
Construction did confirm that they have had problems with vandals
entering the property by cutting through the security fence along
the west property line. The fence is eight feet in height which
is the maximum permitted by City Code.
Ms. McPherson stated Park Construction recently completed a rock
crushing activity from the period of January 16 - March 6, 1993.
This was again the first time in three years that Park Construction
has conducted a rock crushing activity. Park Construction
typically crushes rock or asphalt or concrete during the hours of
7:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. These are permitted work hours based on the
City Code. She stated that Mr. Engebretson, Dispatcher for Park
Construction, has said that Park Construction attempts to conduct
these rock crushing activities during the winter months when
windows are closed due to the inclement weather.
13Z
PLANNING COMMISSiON MEBTING. APRIL 14. 1993 PAQ$ 7
Commission is concerned about the height of stockpiled materials,
a specific stipulation will be needed to address this situation.
Mr. Saba asked Mr. Richard Carlson from Park Construction what they
have been doing to address the concerns about the height of the
stockpiles.
Mr. Carlson stated they have limited the height of the stockpiles.
Since they heard the complaint, they have lowered the piles to 22
feet which is the same height as the building across the street
from their offices. Before, the peaks of the piles could be
anywhere from 26-38 feet in height.
Mr. Carlson stated the City of Fridley dumps all its waste concrete
and asphalt materials at Park Construction at no charge to the
City. Everyone else is charged a minimum of $25-40 per load. Park
Construction also reciprocates in selling back to the City all the
crushed concrete at a reduced cost.
Mr. Carlson stated he read the Planning Commission minutes when
these concerns were raised during the discussion of the rezoning.
He stated the people who camplained were 1,100 feet or almost two
600 city blocks from the rock crushing operation and 900 feet to
the edge of the pile. That is a significant distance from any
residential.+areas.
Mr. Carlson stated that while they were crushing, they made several
attempts to assess the noise levels, and driving up to it in a car,
they could hardly hear it. The railroad trains at this location
make a significant amount of noise which about drowns out any noise
of the crushing activity. When the trucks dump their boxes,
sometimes the drivers slam the tailgates slata which is noisy and
annoying, and they have instructed the drivers not to do that.
Mr. Carlson stated that occasionally with a southeast wind and dry
weather conditions, the dust does blow. However, now that they
have leveled the pile, the wind will not hit those peaks, and that
should curtail a lot of the dust problems. The northwest winds
never affect the residential area. Probably more dust blows around
in the yard than from the stockpiles. They have very heavy
machinery that works around in the yard, and t�e yard does get very
dusty during dry weather.
Mr. Sielaff asked if Park Construction could wet the piles to keep
them from blowing.
Mr. Carlson stated they do not have any water, but it could be
done.
Mr. Newman asked if any other materials are stockpiled.

PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETIIJG. APRIL 14, 1993 PAG$ 9
pursue. He was glad to hear that Park Construction is willing to
level the piles off to 22 feet, but is 22 feet is adequate?
Mr. oquist stated he liked the idea that the stockpile is no higher
than the building near it. He did believe that if they are going
to pick restrictions on height of stockpiles, it should be done in
the M-3, Outdoor Intensive Heavy Industrial zoninq regulations, and
not in the special use permit.
Ms. Dacy stated the Cora�nission had added a stipulation to the
special use permit section in the ordinance restricting the height,
or they can also request that the Council initiate a zoning
ordinance amendment.
Ms. McPherson stated that when outdoor storage of material exceeds
15 feet in height, that requires a special use permit, but there
is no maximum height.
Mr. Saba stated he appreciated the fact that Park Construction is
leveling off the piles.
Mr. Sielaff stated he agreed the height of the stockpiles for
anything might be something to consider through the zoning process,
rather than through the special use permit. For this particular
facility, he�would like to see the problems managed in the best way
possible. There are also the concerns about erosion, dust, and
noise. It really becomes a management issue. Maybe Park
Construction could put together some type of management plan for
the City staff.
Ms. McPherson stated staff could work with the petitioner to
develop an acceptable management plan.
Mr. Carlson asked that the more restrictions that are put on them
by the City, the more complicated things become. He stated Park
Construction is willing to work with staff whenever the City
receives complaints. The file could be researched to find out how
many complaints have been received by the City in the 12 years Park
Construction has been in operation. Park Construction has always
tried to be good member of the business community.
Mr. Carlson stated that because of complaints about the stockpiles,
they have been lowered to 22 feet. Lowering the piles is an
additiona� cost to Park Construction because the piles then take
up more yard space, leaving less space for their other equipment.
He would recommend that they work with staff; and when complaints
are received, they will work with City staff to resolve the
complaints.
Mr. Sielaff stated a management plan makes the City staff aware of
what Park Construction is doing so that when complaints are
received, the staff can respond to those complaints. It does not

Request
Mark & Jean Schwartz and Frank & Vallie Labandz
The petitioners request that a vacation be approved to vacate the
alley located between their properties in Block 2, Spr�ng Valley
Addition. The alley is adjacent between 1356 and 1372 - 64th
Avenue N.E.
Site
The alley

Analysis
is located between two single family dwellings. The
are zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling. There are
and a sanitary sewer line located within the alley.
Mr. and Mrs. Schwartz originally applied for the vacation request.
Mr. and Mrs. Labandz contacted staff regarding the Schwartz's
request and indicated that they might be interested in vacating the
westerly eight feet of the alley, thereby vacating the entire
alley. The Labandz's applied for a separate vacation to vacate
the westerly eight feet of the alley. The two requests have since
been combined into one.
Located in the alley is a sanitary sewer line, underground
telephone lines, and overhead utility lines. The alley was platted
with the original Spring Valley Addition. The alley could
potentially provide access to the rear of the properties fronting
on Central Avenue, as the alley extends south to Rice Creek Road.
The properties in the Spring Valley Addition were platted with a
depth of 300 feet. There is opportunity for these properties to
be split if an additional east/west street is constructed midway
between Rice Creek Road and 64th Avenue. This road would be
extended from Camelot Lane on the east to the subject alley on the
west. Vacating the subject alley could potentially limit access
and possibly eliminate a cross-connection with this potential
east/west street. Vacating the alley would limit the number of
options the Schwartz's would have should they choose to subdivide
their property to the rear.
The Schwartz's at the original hearing on April 14, 1993 submitted
a drawing showing an alternate road alignment. They believe this
option preserves a resubdivision alternative (see attached).
As utilities are located within the alley, a utility easement would
also need to be maintained to provide the City and utility
companies access for maintenance. It would be prudent for the City
to reserve a street easement over the vacated alley for a potential
street connection if a future subdivision occurs. The petitioners
would also be required to execute and record against their
13GG
Staff Report

Page 3
properties hold-harmless agreements which would eliminate the
City's liability for replacing any vegetation or fences located in
the alley if they were to be removed due to routine maintenance
activities by the City or utility companies. �
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval
of the vacation request to the City Council with the following
stipulations:
1. The petitioners shall execute and record a street and utility
easement in place of the vacated alley.
2. The petitioners shall execute and record a hold-harmless
agreement provided by the City.
Planning Commission Action
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of
the request to the City Council as recommended by staff.
City Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning
Commission's action.

Vacation Request SAV 93-01
PW93-151
In reviewing the Planning Commission items for their Wednesday, April 28, meeting, 1 noticed
that there is a vacation request for what is defined as an alley located between Lot 13 and 15
and 16, Block 2, Spring Valley Addition.
This "alley" has been vieweci as a street, for pianning purposes. We have looked at a st�eet
being constructed from Mississippi Street to Rice Creek Road down the alignment of the right-of-
ways that had been platted. Within this right-of-way, we have proposed to construct a stoRn
system which would handle the water coming from the Creek Ridge Park area and convey water
into the Harris Pond ditch.
It has also been the Council's policy in the past that alleys wouid not be vacated unless 100%
of the abutting properties of an ailey opted for the vacation or the construction.
Because of the options that the e�usting right-of-way provides the City for future services and
accessibility, and because of the inconsistency of the request of this pet�ion, I would recommend
that the vacation request be denied.

is generally located at 260 Longfellow Street
UPON AJ�`OiCE,,VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTI� CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
M�. McPherson stated this item will go to the City Council on May
3, 1993.
4. VACATION RE UEST, SAV #93-01 BY MARK AND JEAN SCHWARTZ:
To vacate the East 8 feet of the alley adjacent to the West
lot line of Lot 13, Block 2, Spring Valley Addition, generally
located at 1372 - 64th Avenue N.E.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioners request that a vacation be
approved to vacate the east eight feet of the alley Iocated
directly adjacent to their property. The property is zoned R-1,
Single Family Dwelling. There is additional R-1 zoning to the east
and south, and there is R-1 and C-1, Local Business, to the west.
Ms. McPherson stated that between the Schwartz' property and the
Labandz' property at 1356 - 64th Avenue, there is a 16 foot
easement for an alley which extends from 64th Avenue on the north
to Rice Creek Road on the south. The petitioners are requesting
that the 300 foot by 8 foot alley.easement be vacated. There are
utilities located in the alley easement.
Ms. McPherson stated the alley was originally platted with the
Spring Valley Addition and could provide a means of access to the
rear of these properties in this general vicinity should a road in
an east/west direction be constructed along the rear property lines

PLANNING COMMISSION MBBTING. APRIL 14. 1993 PAGL 15
to the east. If the alley is vacated and a street and utility
easement is not maintained over the vacated alley, this-would
potentially limit the number of options for a future subdivision
in this particular neighborhood. Staff is requesting that this
type of easement be maintained over the vacated portion of the
alley. A utility easement would also need to be maintained.
Ms. McPherson stated that after the petitioners applied for the
vacation request, the Labandz', the neighbors to the west, also
applied for a vacation request to vacate the west half of the alley
easement. Staff has contacted both petitioners to see if a joint
vacation request could be processed at one time, thereby vacating
the entire all�ey.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending the Commission recommend
approval of the vacation request with two stipulations at a
minimum:
l. The petitioners shall execute and record a street and
utility easement in place of the vacated alley.
2. The petitioners shall execute and record a hold-harmless
agreement provided by the City.
Mr. Mark Sch�Tartz stated that this alley was platted 52 years ago,
and it has never been used as an alley and probably never will.
He stated he has lived here 7 1/2 years, and the alley was never
maintained before he moved there. He has put a lot of money into
seed and dirt to make it look like part of the neighborhood. Yet,
because it is not vacated, he cannot use the alley the way he wants
to use it. He stated he realized a utility easement has to be
maintained. He was not sure whether the street easement is needed
and would prefer to see the street easement not part of the
stipulations.
Mr. Schwartz stated that if all the neighbors on the block decided
to split the backs of their lots to create another block, he would
suggest bringing a street down the middle and curving it out to
Rice Creek Road. The City would not have to acquire any additional
property. He stated his house sits approximately 20 feet off the
alley, so he did not know how much closer the City could come to
his home to acquire enough property for a street.
Mr. Frank Labandz stated he did not want to see any street there
because the children play in that area. A street would be a bad
idea.
Ms. Dacy asked Mr. Labandz if they are interested in vacating the
west half of the alley.
Mr. Labandz stated, yes, they filed for a vacation on Monday, April
19.

Execute Contract with Kurth Surveying for
Preliminary and Final Plat Work Related to the
Shorewood Plaza Replat
In 1988, the City Council approved the Shorewood Plaza plat which
affects all the parcels abutting East Moore Lake Drive. As a
result of alignment errors in the design of East Moore Lake Drive
N.E., the area dedicated for roadway within the Shorewood Plaza
plat is required to be rededicated to match Municipal State Aid
Standards (see attached memo for background). In addition,
necessary bikeway/walkway and utility easements need to be
dedicated on the plat.
Staff has met with the affected property owners regarding the
process, the total contract amount, and sharing the cost of the
replat. At that meeting, it was agreed that the owners would be
responsible for the following amounts of the contract:
Northwest Racquet, Swim, and Health Club
Moore Lake Associates
George Applebaum
Short-Elliot-Hendrickson
City of Fridley
$1,400
$1,000
$1,000
$ 600
$2,500
The HRA at its May 1991 meeting agreed that it would pay $600.00
of the City's $2,500.00 portion of the contract amount.
In 1991, Moore Lake Associates was unwilling to contribute the
$1,000.00 to replat the properties. Quality Growth Limited now
owns the East Moore Lake Commons Shopping and Office Center and has
agreed to become a willing participant in the replat process. We
have received money from Northwest Racquet, Swim, and Health Club,
Quality Growth Limited, and George Applebaum to proceed with the
replat process.

Re: Replatting of Shorewood Plaza Area
Dear Ms. McPherson:

reproduction costs to $ 500.00. Copies of invoices will be sent with billings.
6} F'urnish final plats, ready for signing by all parties, to FRIDLEY. These
will have the notarized signature of the surveyor's certification onl.y.
� �
KSI will not be responsible for:
1) Any Governmental or other fees, except as noted in (5) above. Any fee paid
by KSI or reproduction costs beyond the $ 500.00 limitation, will have a 15�C
handling charge added and will be due and payable at the time of final biiiing.

will be to FRIDLEY only, and they will be responsible for the total amount owed.
These billings will be due and payable upon receipt and acceptance of the
preliminary and final plats. As we intend to work closely with the City in this

Shorewood Plaza Replat
The Shorewood Plaza Plat refers to the area which was approved for
the construction of the Moore Lake Racquet, Swim,& Health Club and
the Moore Lake Shopping Center. After approval of the plat in
1988, the City determined that the plat drawing indicated the wrong
street radii in order to conform to the Municipal State Aid street
standards. While the road was constructed according to MSA
standards, the plat was drawn incorrectly.
Making matters worse, the developer could not record the original
1988 plat because of the various description and title difficulties
pertaining to the property. As a temporary solution, the City
eventually passed a Sureveyor's Certificate of Correction in 1988
which enabled the developer to record the plat.
Backqround
On May 25, 1989, George Applebaum, the then developer for Moore
Lake Commons; Dave Newman, the then HRA Attorney; and Clyde
Moravetz, the current Engineering Technician, met to discuss the
issues regarding this plat. At that point, it was determined that
a cooperative replatting process should be conducted with the costs
to be shared by the responsible party. Further at that time,
because S.E.H. was the consulting engineer for the road
construction project, it was thought that we may be able to file
a claim against S.E.H. regarding the incorrect radii. Since that
time, we have determined that such a claim would not be sustained,
but we may be able to convince S.E.H. to contribute some amount of
remuneration toward the cost of the replat.
In May of 1990, Kurth Surveying, the new surveyor for George
Applebaum, prepared cost estimates for replatting this area in
conformance with Dave Newman's letter. The City's share would
probably total somewhere between $2,000-3,000.

The new Moore Lake Shopping Center area is no longer owned by
George Applebaum and is owned by Moore Lake Associates who is
represented by Jerry Duffy of Siegel, Brill, Gropfer, and Duffy of
Minneapolis. Further, Leonard Juster represents the Moore Lake
Racquet, Swim, & Health Club. Given that the plat is located
within a redevelopment area and because a new plat would resolve
long standing legal description errors, we wanted to receive
confirmation from the HRA as to their willingness to pay 20� of the
replat costs prior to organizing a process to proceed with the
replat of this area. The remaining portion would be paid from the
capital improvement street fund.
Recommendation
Under the current proposal, the HRA's responsibility would be $400-
600. This is well within the professional services budget we
prepared for 1991. Further, it would assist the City in correcting
this legal description nightmare and make our recordkeeping a lot
more efficient.
Staff recommends that the HRA authorize the expenditure of no more
than $600 toward the replatting costs of Shorewood Plaza.

park dedication fee based on�the current ordinanae .
would total $b,938.26. "Thi.s is based on the �
commercial/industrial rat� of $.Q23 per square foot of
land area. Our st�.pulation requires �hat•the park
dedication fee be paid a� th,e issuariCe oF a build�.ng

paymen�s received sha11 ba placed in a special �und to be used �
only for the purposes for which the money was abt�il'led. In an •
earlie� version ot this State S�atute the Statute was applicabl� �
only to residen�ial properties. However, �he I.,�g�.s7.atur� saw fit� �
to change the Statute to make it appiicable tv any preposed �
subdivision. Th� Gity af Fxi.dley has adopted Seativn 21�..07{Z)
which sets forth the amount oi px'operty or an equiva].ent amcaunt
in cash shal�. be obtained from the subdiv'is�.on applicant. In the :
above Section �he City has set the standard as 10� of aJ.1
residential property �r 3$ of �ll commerciai or industr�al
property. In making this dist�:n�tion the City has recognixed
that th� burden on the City park sys�em wou�.d be qreater in a
residentiai development th�ri in a commercia7. or ir�dust�ial
development. � :
It is al.so my understanding �ha� the Czty has been•requiring �
park deciication °fee for all, p].��Sy replats or Iot sp�its. Yn �Y�e
instan� case the Anderson progerty was platt�d �.n 1969 but has
r�mained essen�i�i].y uacant from that time tQ th� present. The
property own�r has now made ari app].ication to repiat the px�oper�y
far purposes af creating lots to be de'�eloped. At the time of
the original plat a$75.00 fee apparently was paid for �'�pazk
depasit". Under aur current requireme�� a developer would be
requi�ed �o pay the sum of $6,938.26 as a park fee. This sum is
consistent with what o�her developers in the City are rec�uxred ta
P$Y-
It is my apa.n�.on that the City can charge the d�veloper at the ,.
current rate and g.ive credit �ar th� amount gaid in 19fi9. .

Consideration of 1993 Anoka County Joint Powers
Agreement for Residential Recycling Program
Attached please find a copy of the Anoka County Joint Powers
Agreement for Residential Recycling Program. This agreement will
allow the City of Fridley to request reimbursement funds for as
much as $39,196 of eligible solid waste programming expenses.
This agreement also releases a supplemental grant for the manage-
ment of problem materials, solid waste recycling, and yard waste
abatement programs. The amount of this supplemental grant is
$8,422.92. This supplemental grant will be used to pay for costs
associated with the yard waste transfer site, the spring clean-up
day, and recycling services contract costs not covered by the
initial $39,196.
The term of this agreement is from January 1, 1993, to December 31,
1993. The Anoka County staff will not commit to an additional
$39,196 for the 1993 year until the County receives the second half
of its S.C.O.R.E. funding from the state. At this time, staff does
not doubt that Anoka County will receive the second half of the
S.C.O.R.E. funds. Once these funds are received by the County,
they will be distributed to cities by amendment to this agreement.
Staff recommends that Council authorize the Mayor and City Manager
to execute this agreement.

William W. Burns
, (612) 571-3450
TO: The Honorabie Mayor and City Council
�P� -
FROM: WiNiam W. Burns, City Manager ��
DATE: April 30, 1993
SUBJECT: Public Hearing - Regiot�al Senior Citizens Center
At the May 3, 1993, City Council meeting, I am requesting that Council consider •
the establishment of a public hearing for the purpose of receiving citizen input on
the proposed regional senior citizens center. The proposed date for the hearing
is May 17, 1993.
At Councilmember Steven Billings' request, we contacted the schoo! system in
an effort to schedule use of the Fridley High School auditorium for the public
hearing. Unfortunately, the auditorium is booked that evening for a kindergarten
concert. We have shifted our efforts to trying to acquire use of the Fridley Middle
School cafeteria. We will not know until Monday if it will be possible to televise
the hearing at that location.
If the hearing is held at the Middle School, I suggest that it be scheduled for 7:00
p.m. This will give us some extra time to reconvene the City Council meeting at
the Municipal Center. If the hearing is held at the Municipal Center, I suggest
that the City Council meeting convene at its normal time of 7:30 p.m.
A copy of the letter that will be sent to Fridley residents announcing the public
hearing has been placed in your agenda packet for your review.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter.
