3. RECEIVE ITEMS FROM THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF
FEBRUARY 24. 1993:
AD SPECIAL USE PERMYT REOUEST. SP #93-01, BY WESTMINSTER
CORPORATION. TO ALLOW HOMES FOR THE ELDERLY, GENERALLY LOCATED
NORTH AND EAST OF ST. WILLIAM'S CHURCH ABUTTING FIFTH
STREET N.E.:
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that a similar
request was submitted in 1988 for a seventy unit building. She
stated that the application now being submitted is for a 51 unit
building to provide housing for the elderly and handicapped. She
stated that three units will be designed for handicapped
individuals.
Ms. Dacy stated that the proposed funding for this 51 unit building
is through the Department of Housing and Urban Development's 202
Program. She stated that in order to be eligible for these units
persons must mee't qualifying income guidelines.
Ms. Dacy stated that the project does not meet the minimum lot area
requirement, and it is short by approximately 4,830 square feet.
� She stated that this shortfall is proposed to be resolved throuqh
the execution and recording of an open air easement on the church°s
property adjacent to the south lot line.
Ms. Dacy stated that 34 parking spaces are provided on the north
of the building with an additional 45 "proof of parking1° spaces
indicated on the plan should the building demand additional
parking.
Ms. Dacy stated that the exterior of the building in the 1988
proposal was a combination of brick, stucco and aluminum siding.
She stated that the petitioners are requesting that HUD fund a
brick exterior and, if this is not possible, the exterior would be
similar to the one proposed in 1988. She stated that the Planning
Commission wished to recommend that the City assist Westminster in
advising HUD that a brick exterior is a preferred alternative.
Ms. Dacy stated that the petitioners are proposing the creation of
a storm water pond at the southwest corner of the property. She
stated that the City's Engineering Department has reviewed the
plans, and they are satisfactory.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval
of this special use permit with six stipulations which she
outlined. She stated that the petitioner has indicated that HUD
� will not fund an irrigation system, and the petitioner requested
additional time to install such a system.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 1, 1993 PAGE 5
� Ms. Dacy stated that the petitioner has stated that HUD will not
fund this project with a restrictive covenant against the property
which dictates that the project is for elderly and handicapped
only. She stated that the petitioner has indicated that if the
project were to convert to a non-elderly building, the payments on
the mortgage would accelerate, and they believe this is a self-
enforcing policy.
Councilman Schneider felt that if the restrictive covenant was not
a stipulation that the building could, at some future date, be sold
and turned into an apartment building for the general public.
Mr. Prentice, Project Manager for Westminster Corporation, stated
that in terms of financing, HUD requires that for forty years the
project conform to the limitations to rent exclusively to
handicapped and qualifying persons. He stated that HUD does not
want to have a property that has a title issue on it for whatever
future eventuality there may be a problem in the use of the
building. He stated that the program is intended to serve the
elderly, but HUD would not provide the financing if there is a
covenant on the property.
Mayor Nee asked if there was a commitment for Section 8 financing.
� Mr. Prentice stated that they have a commitment for Section 8
financing for the forty-year term to assist the residents with the
rent.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she believed there were
restrictive covenants on the Village Green complex, and that they
could not be converted to open housing.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff could research whether or not there is
such a covenant on the Village Green property.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that her concern was once the loan
was paid off that the building may be converted for open housing.
She stated that this has been done with hundreds of buildings owned
by HUD.
Mr. Prentice stated that, in this case, there is no provision for
ending the term for forty years.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked the amount of rent that would be
charged for these units.
Mr. Prentice stated that the residents would pay thirty percent of
their income. He stated that income guidelines are established by
HUD, and they cannot be over fifty percent of the metropolitan area
� median. He stated that if a resident has a$600 per month income,
they would pay $180 towards the rent and the difference to cover
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 1. 1993 PAGE 6
� the building's operating cost would be provided by HUD. He stated
that the rent would be about $600 per month which is really a
hypothetical figure.
Mr. Prentice stated that HUD does not allow for an irrigation
system in the construction financing for this project. He stated
that Westminster creates an affiliate non-profit board which
becomes the owner of the development. He stated that the Board
will be composed of residents of the building and members of the
community. He stated that they hope to have an irrigation system,
but their prospects for installing such a system will depend on the
residual cash the project will generate at the end of each £iscal
year. He stated that it has been possible in some of their other
developments to install an irrigation system. He stated that he
would not want to say they would install an irriqation system,
because it is not something they have control over.
Councilman Schneider asked if Westminster contributes funds to the
development.
Mr. Prentice stated that there is no developer fee for this project
under the 202 Program. He stated that Westminster�s fund raisinq
campaign has to cover the developer's time.
� Councilman Schneider asked how contingencies are covered.
Mr. Prentice stated that the operating budget establishes a reserve
for these contingencies. He stated that it is hoped there is a way
to install the irrigation system and establish reserves which can
be used at the discretion of the local project board. He stated
that if there is a commi�ment that the irrigation system is a top
prgority, it would be taken seriously.
Councilman Schneider asked if management fees were �aid to
Westminster for this building.
Mr. Frentice stated �hat they were paid management fees, and HUD
reviews the operating budgets.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked what the cost to install the
irrigation system would be.
Mr. Prentice stated that the cost would be between $10,000 to
$15,OOOo
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if HUD would allow a second mortgage
on the property for installation of the irrigation system.
Mr. Prentice stated that HUD would not allow a second mortgagee
� He stated that an irrigation system is not an easy item for which
to raise funds.
�
�
�
FRYDLEY CITY COUNCYL MEETING OF MARCH Y, 1993 PAGE 7
Ms. Deb Bednarz, Westminster Corporation, stated that HUD does not
allow items that they consider as amenities for low income housing,
She stated that they would not allow a second mortgage that would
be paid out of HUD funds. Any funds for an irrigation system would
have to be through a grant.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the irrigation system is
required under the City's codee If this requirement was waived
for this development �he City would receive similar requests from
other developers.
Mr. Prentice felt that it has to be taken inta consideration that
this is a use that is distinct and identified in many plans as a
serious need for affordable housing for the elderTy in this area,
and it is by no means their choice not to comply with this
requirement. He stated that it is something they cannot comply
with at least not during the construction term. He stated beyond
that time, they would make every eifort to comply, but they would
need additional time.
Mayor Nee asked if they could comply with the requirement for the
irrigation system in two years.
Mr. Prentice stated that two years was better than one, and if they
could not comply, they would come back to the Council with reasons
why this could not be done.
Ms. Dacy asked if the communication from Westminster Corporation
dated March 1, 1993 regarding the irrigation system was what they
propose for a stipulation,
Mr. Prentice stated that it is a proposal which they are
submitting.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that there probably could be a time
frame of two years for installation of the irrigation system, and
the City would try to assist Westminster with that goal.
Mr. Prentice stated that he cannot commit that it would be done
within that time, but he would commit that an effort would be made
to install the irrigation system.
Mr. Pfister, architect with Boorman, Kroos, and Pfister, stated
that the building is oriented in an east/west direction. He stated
that the residential units would face to the south or north
overlooking a green aTea and not towards Moon Plaza. He stated
that the narrow edge of the building faces 5th Street. He stated
that this orientation is better for the residents of the building,
as well as the adjacent residents.
Mr. Pfister stated that there is a circular driva in front oi the
building with 32 parking spaces provided and space to extend the
�
�
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH Y Y993 PAGE 8
parking, if needed. He stated that there is a canopy over the
entranoe and a patio on the first floor in the center of the
building, as well as a balcony. Mr. Pfister submitted a drawing
of the building. He explained the roof lines and said it would be
an all briok building.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if there is a space provided for
dining.
Mr. Pfister stated that there isn't a dining area but instead a
community room located just off the entrance of the building.
Councilwoman 3orgenson asked if all units are handicapped
accessibleo
Mr. Pfister stated that all units are designed with enough space
to accommodate the handicapped. He stated that three units would
be fully equipped with handicapped features.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked the height of the electrical outlets
and if emergency pull cords would be installed in the baths and
bedrooms.
Mr. Pfister stated that the outlets would be raised to make them
more accessible, and there are emergency pull cords in the baths
and bedrooms.
Mayor Nee asked the alternative plan if HUD did not approve the
brick building.
Mr. Pfister submitted a drawing of the alternate plan which would
have a brick or textured block base with horizontal siding in the
center, and the third floor would have a detail element around the
perimeter and narrow lap siding.
Mr. Pfister stated that the inside of the building would be
sprinkled, and there would be elevators.
Mr. Bruce Nelson, 90 Rice Creek Way, stated that he was a liaison
from St. William's Church and has worked with Westminster, the
architect, and building committee on this project. He stated that
the planning for this project originally started in 1972 and
evolved as part of the long-term planning of St. William's Church
which felt there had to be some use of this land. He stated that
one primary area that was considered was elderly and handicapped
housing. He stated that the project was abandoned because of a
lack of funding.
Mr. Nelson stated that in about 1986, there was a church-wide
� survey and interest in proceeding with this project. He stated,
that at this time, he became involved in the project. He stated
that funds were appropriated to hire Westminster Corporation, and
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 1. 1993 PAGE 9
1 funding was extended for a land survey and soil tests. He stated
that Westminster Corporation was selected primarily because of
their history and involvement and dedication to the purpose of
elderly and handicapped housing. He stated that the church was
looking for an administrative agent, as well as a designere �e
stated that Westminster has approximately forty buildings, and
2,600 units they manage.
Mr. Nelson stated that the church is actually selling land below
market value. The church is willing to give up some property for
the open air space and to work with the agent. He stated that he
was in favor of this project and encouraged the Council to give
Westminster an extension of time to install the irrigation system.
He stated that the funding under the 202 Program is very
restrictive, and he did not know if this would be a one time option
for this program.
Mr. Terry Mickley, 241 Rice Creek Terrace, stated that he was a
member of St. William's Church and a liaison that works with the
developer, He stated that this project is completely different
than a private enterprise project. He stated that he can
appreciate the Council's concern about protecting the area by
installation of the sprinkler system, but for this type of project
where they are dealing with subsidized elderly housing, he hoped
� something could be worked out. He asked that the Council give
consideration to expanding the time limits for the irrigation
system in order to help with this project.
Mayor Nee stated he understands that a separate corporation is the
owner. He asked if there was a potential for selling this
buildingo
Mr. Prentice stated that there is a stipulation in the by-laws of
a non-profit entity that if they sell off any of the assets, the
assets must be disposed of to do the same function. He stated that
an asset cannot be generated that can be made private. He stated
that the Board is comprised of residents of the building and the
community, and he felt the residents would not want to lose their
housing.
Councilman Schneider stated that it is not known what actions HUD
may take in the future. They may sell off all their properties.
He stated that his concern is that there is no protection for the
City. He asked if staff had contacted HUD regarding the
restrictive covenant.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff had not been in contact with HUD, and
she does not know the HUD rules for financing as well as
Westminstera
� Councilman Billings asked if there wasn't a proposal for elderly
and handicapped housing, if staff would recommend this property be
rezoned to R-3.
FRIDLEY CITY COQNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 1. 1993 PAGE 10
� Ms. Dacy stated that, based on the zoning pattern in �he area, this
would be an acceptable zoning designation for the property.
Councilman Billings stated that there is concern about what would
happen to the building if it was no longer used for elderly or
handicapped housing. He stated that as he understands, even if the
building was not used for elderly or handicapped housing, it would
be a reasonable use of the property.
Councilman Billings was concerned about notification of those in
the area and the amount of time that has passed since the first
reading of the rezoninq ordinance, Ae stated that he is not
opposed to this project, but he is concerned with the fact that
there are requirements for notifying the residents surrounding the
project. He wants to make sure the City has complied with these
requirements.
Ms. Dacy stated that everyona within 350 feet of this project
received notification of the special use permit request.
Mr, Prentice stated he understands that the City must comply with
the legal requirements for notification; however, he stated that
they did hold a public meeting at St. William's in January. He
stated that notices were sent to residents in the area and
� announcements placed in the Fridlev Focus. Throughout the churches
and all who attended the meeting were in favor of this project.
Councilman Billings stated that it appears there is concern
primarily with two aspects -- the restrictive covenant for elderly
and handicapped housing and the sprinkler system. He stated that
staff has not been in contact with HUD for their response to these
issues, and it seems there are some unanswered questions that need
to be addressed.
Councilman Schneider stated that he is supportive of the overall
project, and it is something that is needed in the community.
However, he would feel more comfortable with the covenant issue if
the City could get some guarantees. He stated that if it does not
jeopardize the project he would prefer to table this item to the
next Council meeting.
Mr. Prentice stated that he does not believe tabling the project
would cause any damage, but he did not believe the Council would
receive any additional information to resolve these concerns. He
stated that as far as funds for the sprinkler system, he would not
want approval withheld until the funds were raised. He felt that
in any case, the Council would face the question of whether or not
they would allow some leeway.
� Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she would like staff to check
if there was a restrictive covenant for the Village Green complex.
She stated that she is pleased to see this project moving forward,
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 1. 1993 PAGE 13
� and it is something that is needed in the community. She felt that
once the building is constructed, funds would be available for the
sprinkling system.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to table this item to the next
meeting on March 15, 1993 and request staff to contact HUD
particularly regarding some form of assurances that the building
at least for a forty-year period would be used for elderly and
handicapped housing.

4. RECEIVE PROPOSAL FOR CURBSIDE AND MULTI-UNIT RECYCLING
SERVICES;
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that the City
requested and received proposals for comprehensive recycling
services. She stated that the request for proposal included a
two-year term, twice-a-month collection and acceptable materials
to include cans, glass, newspaper, corrugated cardboard, magazines,
and catalogs, sources separation mandatory for one to four unit
buildings, commingled collection optional for five to twelve unit
buildings, ninety gallon containers required for five to twelve
unit buildings to be paid for by contractor, and one promotional
� brochure to be paid for by contractor.
�
�
�
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCYL MEETING OF MARCH 1 1993 EAGE 12
Ms. Dacy stated that proposals were received from Gopher Disposal,
Super Cycle, Inc., and Waste Management, Inc. She stated that on
February 22, 1993, Gopher Disposal withdrew their proposal, as they
had underestimated the cost of providing the ninety gallon
containers, overextended themselves in making the commitment to the
additional $2,000 a year in promotional costs, and they were
concerned about the unknown additional cost of the proposed Federal
BTU tax.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff recommends that Council accept Super
Cycle's proposal for curhside and multi-unit recycling services,
and that contract negotiations be completed with submission of the
contract at the March 15, 1993 Council meeting. She stated that
Super Cycle submitted a competitive proposal and is capable of
providing these services, and they have experience in providin�
multi-unit service.
Councilman Schneider asked what the City was paying on the existing
contract for curbside services. He stated that their proposal is
for $1.43 for one to four units,
Ms. Dacy stated that it is currently $1.00 per household.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if the City was collecting felephone
books.
Ms. Campbell, Planning Assistant, stated that telephone books are
not explicitly advertised as something the City would pick up, but
if they appear with the recycling material Super Cycle would take
them. She stated that the City could make the choice not to pick
up any telephone books, but this is not a cost factor.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the telephone company is
providing new telephone books to everyone which may be something
a person does not want, She felt that the cost for disposing of
old telephone books should be borne by the telephone companyo
Ms. Campbell stated that the only advantage of picking up telephone
books is that it adds to the tonnage, but there is the question of
picking up those recycling items that are not generatect by the
residents.
Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she is glad the City has some
type of performance guarantee. She stated that at her home last
Friday she picked up six pop cans that had been run over by the
Super Cycle truck. She stated that this not only happened at her
residence but ali the way down the block. She stated there have
been blocks that have been missed, and the City has tried to obtain
a telephone number in the event they need to contact someone after
normal business hours. She stated it is hoped that this could be
provided.
