ROLL CALL:
MEMBER PRESENT: Mayor Nee, Councilwoman Jorgenson, Councilman
Schneider, and Councilwoman Bolkcom
MEMBERS ABSENT: None
Mayor Nee stated that he has a problem with his voice and asked
that Mayor Pro Tem Schneider conduct the meeting.
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that the Council will conduct two
meetings this evening, the Board of Review and the Regular City
Council meeting. He stated that the purpose of the Board of Review
- meeting is to hear from.residents who wish to appeal the assessed
value placed on their property.
Mr. Leon Madsen, Assessor, stated that the Board of Review meeting
is held annually to allow residents the opportunity to speak
regarding the 1994 values placed on their properties for taxes
payable in 1995. He stated that the Board of Review can either
re-affirm the value or increase or decrea5e the value. He stated
that those property owners not satisfied with the ruiing of the
Board of Review can further appeal to the County Board of
Equalization which will be meeting on June 17, 1994.
Mr. Madsen stated that he has spoken with a number of residents and
answered questions on the values of their properties. He stated,
however, that there are two appeals which the Council should
consider this evening. �
MR. LEVI PHILLIPS, 1632 RICE CREEK ROAD:
Mr. Madsen stated that the first appeal is from Mr. Levi Phillips,
1632 Rice Creek Road. He stated that this property has a value of
$44,900, and it is recommended that the value be re-affirmed. He
stated that Mr. Phillips sent a letter to the County Assessor's
Office which was forwarded to the City.
.
BOARD OF REVIEW MBETING OF APRIL 18. 1994 PAGE 2
Mr. Madsen stated that he determined the value using several
methods. He stated that one method was to consider the entire
parcel with the structure and land as one entity. He stated that
the structure on the property is 20 feet by 20 feet. Tt was built
in 1949 and is in poor condition. He stated that the value of both
the structure and the land is $44,900. He stated that another
method used to determine value was based on two sites for a value
of $46,000.
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that if there was not a structure
on this parcel, the land value itself would exceed the value of
$44,900, which has been placed on this property.
Mr. Phillips was not present at this meeting.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to receive the letter from
Mr. Phillips. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Pro Tem Schneider declared the motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to re-affirm the value placed on
Mr. Phillips' property at 1632 Rice Creek Road at $44,900.

aye, Mayor Pro Tem Schneider declared the motion carried
unanimously.
MR. MCGINNITY, OWNER OF PROPERTY AT 124 LONGFELLOW STREET:
Mr. Madsen stated that Mr. McGinnity, 7783 Tyler Street, Spring
Lake Park, has voiced his concern about the value of $75,400 placed
on property he owns at 124 Longfellow Street. He stated that this
property is located immediately adj acent to the railroad tracks and
across the tracks from Park Construction. He stated that this is
a unique situation, and he would like additional time to review the
value placed on the property.
Mr. Madsen stated that he has spoken with Mr. McGinnity and advised
him that this could be handled in several ways; to either continue
this meeting or, if there are no other cases, there would be no
continuation of thei Board, and Mr. McGinnity would have the right
to appeal to the County Board of Equalization. He stated that Mr.
McGinnity was satisfied that this value would be reviewed.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to re-affirm the value placed on this
property at 124 Longfellow Street at $75,400. Seconded by Council-
woman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Pro Tem
Schneider declared the motion carried unanimously.

The City Council welcomed these new employees to the City.
OPEN FORUM, VISITORS•
Mr. Clarence Theisen, 111 63rd Way, voiced several concerns. He
stated that his home was broken into several years ago even though

stated that over a year ago, Police Department personnel followed
him to his home after leaving the liquor store. He stated that.
this was reported to liquor store personnel, but nothing was�ever
done. He stated that he was aZso concerned with people not
observing traffic signals. .
Councilwoman Jorgenson adyised Mr. Theisen that it would have been
helpful if these 'items had been brought to the Council's attention
sooner so that they could have been checked.
Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Theisen to forward his concerns, in
writing, to the Council. At that time they would be reviewed.
PUBLIC HEARINGS: �
2. PUBLIC HEARING ON AN ORDINANCE RECODIFYING THE FRIDLEY CITY
CODE CHAPTER 506 ENTITLED °VEHICLE PARKING " BY AMENDING
SECTION 506.13 "PARKING IN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS•"
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Council-
woman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Pro Tem
Schneider declared the motion carried unanimously and the public
hearing opened at 7:55 p.m.
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that this public hearing is on a
proposed ordinance amendment. He stated that the purpose of this
hearing is to receive input from the public and hear arguments for
or against this proposed amendment. He stated that no action would
be taken this evening on the proposed ordinance amendment.
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that staff would present a report
on this amendment, with an opportunity for the Council to ask
questions after staff's presentation. He stated that this issue
would then be open for the public to ask any questions and then
comments for or against the proposed ordinance amendment would be
heard.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to receive a letter From Arnie

FRIDLEY CITY COLTNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 18. 1994 PAGE 3
Kathleen Webber, 1371 75th Avenue, dated April 10, 1994; and Mervin
Herrmann, 278 Mercury Drive, dated April 18, 1994. Seconded by
Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Pro Tem Schneider declared the motion carried unanimously.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that six to ten
times per year staff receives complaints about large vehicles on
private property. She stated that these complaints relate to
noise, size and conflict with the single family areas. She stated
that most of these vehicles have a diesel engine, and there are
noise and odors associated with these engines. She stated that
sometimes there is a visual obstruction because of the size of the
vehicle, which may take up an entire driveway. She stated that
some of the vehicles may be used as an illegal home occupation.
Ms. Dacy stated that this proposed amendment is to Chapter 506 of
the City Code and contains a variety of issues regarding safety.
She stated that Section 506.13 contains language that prohibits
parking of vehicles over 12,000 pounds on the street. She stated
that some communities prohibit parking not only on the street, but
private property. In some cities, there may be a 10,000 pound
limit. Ms. Dacy also stated that currently there is no language
within Section 506.13 of the Code that addresses parking of large
vehicles on private properties in residential districts.
Ms. Dacy stated that the relevant definitions for terms used in the
vehicle parking code are set forth at the beginning of Chapter 506
of the City Code. She stated that these definitions are important
to this issue since only those vehicles identified by the
definitions are subject to the requirements of Section 506.13. She
stated that the definitions reference state statues which define
the vehicles. Ms. Dacy then reviewed the statutory defin�tions of
a mobile home, house trailer, tractor, truck, semitrailer, and bus.
Ms. Dacy stated that the intent of the proposed ordinance is to
prohibit vehicles over 12,000 pounds of weight on private property,
and the other portion of the ordinance would limit residents to
storing one vehicle on the property if its licensed gross vehicle
weight is between 3,001 and 12,000 pounds. She stated that it has
been determined that the 3,000 pound limit is too low, and this
minimum should be increased to 6,001 pounds.
Ms. Dacy stated that some of the owners of larger trucks felt they
should be grandfathered in, and that this proposed ordinance should
not apply to them. She stated that the City Attorney has reviewed
this issue, and the grandfather clause applies only to zoning code
provisions.
Ms. Dacy stated that this proposed ordinance amendment was not
intended to include recreational vehicles. She stated that the
ordinance could possibly be interpreted to read that recreational
vehicles are covered by this amendment due to the manner in which
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MBETING OF APRIL 18, 1994 PAG$ 4
the statute defines the terms. She stated that recreational
vehicles could be excluded from the proposed ordinance amendment
by eliminating house trailers and mobile homes from the list of
defined vehicles or adding other language to exclude such vehicles
from the parking restriction on private properties.
Ms. Dacy stated that there was a concern about the reference to the
weight of vehicles and if recreational vehicTes over 12,000 pounds
would be allowed to be parked on private property. She stated that
the .point to be discussed is if the weight restriction should apply
to residential propert.ies. �
Councilman Billings�.questioned if' there were onl:y. six to ten
�complaints per year, how the issue got to this point. He asked how
many complaints were for vehicles over 12;000 pounds in weight.
Ms. Dacy stated that there were two specific property complaints
that generated staff research, and this was brought to the
Council's attention. She stated that the majority of the
complaints pertained to the larger trucks.
Mr. Barg, Code Enforcement Officer, stated that the number of
complaints is an estimate since na record of these calls exists
unless the complainant alleges the vehicle to be unlicensed and/or
inoperable. He stated that if the vehicle is licensed and
operable, there is no further action, as the vehicle is in
compliance with the current code.
Ms. Lynn Gasparro, 1604 Briardale Road, asked if boats and trailers
were included in this ordinance.
Ms. Dacy stated that boats and trailers are not included.
Mr. Quentin Freeburg, 301 Rice Creek Terrace, stated that there
were a number of churches that maintain buses on their properties,
and he asked if they would be affected by this ordinance amendment.
Ms. Dacy stated that churches would be subject to this proposed
amendment because there is reference to residential property.
Mr. Freeburg asked what was meant by visual obstruction.
Ms. Dacy stated that if there are several large trucks parked in
a driveway, there is visual obstruction for neighbors who cannot
see to back out of their driveways.
Mr. Freeburg asked if there was not some other way to handle these
complaints.
Ms. Dacy stated an ordinance that could possibly apply would be the
junk vehicle ordinance; however, if the owner makes sure the
vehicle is in an operable condition, it is not a junk vehicle.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 18 1994 PAGE 5
She stated that the other ordinance that may apply would be an
amendment to the home occupation ordinance on what types of vehicle
activity would be allowed on the property.
Mr. Ed Thayer, 6526 Clover Place, stated that there is no question
this ordinance would include recreational vehicles, as they weigh
over 12,000 pounds.
Ms. Dacy stated that the intent was not to include recreational
vehicles. If this is the way it is interpreted, the wording should
be changed.
Mr. Lee `Swit.zer,. � 587.0 7th �Street,_ asked if he and a trailer., in
violation of the proposed ordinance if he had a dump truck and the
trailer is an E classification. He stated that the two had to go
together.
Ms. Dacy stated that this would have to be clarified in the
ordinance.
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that the way it is now worded, he
would be in violation.
Mr. James Dawson, 6360 Van Buren Street, stated that he just
purchased a recreational vehicle that weighs 15,000 pounds. He
stated that if he had to store it, the cost would be between $75
to $100 per month.
Mr. Warren Paulson, 6881 Highway 65, stated that he is the owner
af the Budget Host Motel, and his property and the Insurance Mart
and Knights of Columbus Hall are zoned residential. He stated that
if this ordinance is adopted, he would need a special use permit
in order to remain in business.
Ms. Dacy stated, in essence, that these properties are commercial
even though they have an R-3 zoning. She stated that to apply this
ordinance to these particular properties would not be appropriate.
Mr. Dave Sinigaglio, 4875 3rd Street, commented about the road
restrictions in the City.
Mr. Maynard Edson, 5190 Buchanan Street, stated that 12,000 pounds
is not much �eight, and he felt it is very restrictive. He felt
that if the minimum was changed from 3,000 pounds to 6,000 pounds,
the license classifications would also need to be changed.
Mr. Dick Thomasson, 7498 Jackson Street, stated that he has a
recreational vehicle, but if he is restricted to 12,000 pounds, he
would be in violation of this proposed ordinance.
Mr. Henry Zimmer, 4021 California Street, asked if a tool van would
be covered under this proposed ordinance.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETINa OF APRIL 18. 1994 PAGE 6
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that as the ordinance is written,
vans are not included.
Mr. Theisen, 111 63rd Avenue, stated that he has a pickup which
weighs 8,100 pounds and a 35 foot fifth wheel trailer which is a
D classification and weighs no more than 9,000 pounds. He wanted
to know if he could park these in his driveway.
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that as the proposed ordinance is
written, he could not.
Ms. Agnes Mihal.ow, 5411.Madison Street, stated that with only tc�to
complaints received by the City, this certainly has opened a:'can
of worms," and she.felt it did not need to be done.
Mr. Don Gonko, 1361 75th Avenue, voiced his concern about trucks
parked in the driveway at 1371 75th Avenue. He stated that these
trucks are started every morning between 5:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m.,
and the noise from the diesel engines vibrates his whole house.
He stated that one family in the area has to use fans in their
bedrooms due to the noise. He stated that he did not like these
commercial trucks in the neighborhood. He also said that he cannot
see to the end of the block.
Mr. Gonko played a cassette tape of what he hears every morning
when the trucks are started. He stated that he did not say
anything when there was only one truck, but now there are two. He
wondered if there would be more in the future.
Mr. Gonko presented a petition for removal of these trucks from the
neighborhood.
MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to receive Petition No. 2.
Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Pro Tem Schneider declared the motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Quentin Freeburg, 301 Rice Creek Terrace, felt that there were
not a lot of complaints about commercial vehicles. Possibly these
could be handled by a less restrictive means and the City could
leave the ordinance as it now exists.
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that the existing ordinances do not
provide the tools to address these issues.
Mr. Willard Kastensen, 1541 Rice Creek Road, stated that in his
neighborhood, a neighbor starts his truck at 5:00 a.m. and lets it
warm up 15 to 20 minutes. He felt that commercial trucks should
not be tolerated in a residential area. He stated that one of the
vehicles in question has not been moved for years, and it creates
an eyesore and devalues property. He stated that at any time, his
neighbor can bring in af�y type of truck even though it blocks his
view. Mr. Kastensen spoke in favor of the ordinance.
FRIDL�Y CITY COTTNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 18, 1994 PAGE 7
Mr. Darrell Cedarholm, 1551 Rice Creek Road, stated that he
strongly supports the proposed ordinance. He stated that he has
lived in Fridley for seventeen years and knew there were large
trucks in his neighborhood when he purchased his property. He
incorrectly assumed Fridley had an ordinance to prohibit the
commercial vehicles in a residential area. He stated that the size
of the vehicles can be very intimidating, and they create noise and
air pollution. Mr. Cedarholm stated that at one time the situation
was so bad that the Police Department was called. When they came
into the house, their eyes burned. He stated that safety is
another issue, as Rice Creek Road is a residential collector
street. He felt that a person should not be able to operate a
large trucking business in a resiciential area, and he did not
understand why surrounding communities had ordinances protecting
their residents but Fridley did not.
Mr. James Sommers, 6221 6th Street, stated that he has lived in
Fridley for thirty years. Most of the time has had a camper but
never a complaint. He felt that most of the campers are in
people's back yards and out of sight. He felt that the issue of
campers and large commercial trucks should be separated.
Ms. Dolores Kastensen, 1541 Rice Creek Road, presented a petition
in favor of this proposed ordinance.
MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to receive Petition No. 3.
Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Pro Tem Schneider declared the motion carried
unanimously.
Ms. Kastensen stated that the City allows the privilege of
industrial vehicles to park on residential proper�y and streets.
She stated that this is abuse, which results in air pollution and
disruption of lifestyle. She stated that she must keep her windows
closed due to the pollution from the diesel engines of the
commercial vehicles parked on her neighbor's property. She stated
that this also devalues property and creates a stigma by allowing
parking of those vehicles in a residential area. She stated that
the taxes she pays are for residential living, not for industrial
living.
Ms. Kastensen stated that some truck operators feel this proposed
ordinance may mean a change for them. She stated that in the name
of progress or betterment of the community, everyone has to make
changes. She stated that the majority of the residents in her
neighborhood expressed the need for this ordinance, and it would
be in the best interests of the home owners. She requested that
the Council pass this ordinance to make properties better and to
keep up property values.
Mr. Jim Bates, 6211 6th Street, felt that large commercial vehicles
and recreational vehicles should be two separate issues. He
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 18, 1994 PAQE 8
suggested that recreational vehicles be eliminated from this
proposed ordinance.
Mr. Jim Ring, 1500 Rice Creek Road, felt that two issues are
involved. He stated that from talking with people, the majority
of people against this ordinance are against it because it includes
recreational vehicles and campers. He stated that recreational
vehicles have not been the source of complaints. He stated that
commercial vehicles are a totally separate issue. Mr. Ring stated
that the commercial vehicles in his area have been there for some
time. He stated that the reality is that people abuse rights and
privileges. An individual is powerless to do anything about it
and looks to the City for enforcement.
Mr. Bill Camp, 6280 University Avenue, stated that he would like
recreational vehicles eliminated from this proposed ordinance. He
felt that it was important that two vehicles be allowed, rather
than just one, in order to accommodate visitors. He stated that
he would be in favor of the ordinance amendment, if the issue of
recreational vehicles was eliminated.
Mr. Gene Engelbrecht, 6800 Madison Street, stated that he would be
in favor of this proposed ordinance, if the following wording was
added: "Factory manufactured vehicles intended for recreational use
shall be exempt from this ordinance."
Ms. Cindy Kummrow, 4632 2nd Street, stated that sometimes motor
homes and recreational vehicles are unsightly. She stated that
limiting access to public streets is one thing, but she questioned
limiting access to private property. She felt that a person's
livelihood had to be taken into consideration, as they may need to
park a commercial truck on their private driveway.
Mr. Bob Miller, 6293 Jackson Street, stated that he can appreciate
some of the complaints about large commercial vehicles. He stated
that he has a 12,000 pound vehicle, and the Council might wish to
consider not allowing dual tandem vehicles, as these engines are
very loud.. Mr. Miller stated that his truck has been in the
neighborhood for 22 years. His son has a vehicle which weighs more
but is smaller in size. He stated that to store his vehicle would
cost him about $6,000 a year, and that is a lot of money for a
small business.
Mr. 5t�ven Thill, 7603 Meadowmoor Drive, stated that he felt this
proposed ordinance invaded his,privacy as a property owner and
takes away his right to park a recreational vehicle on his land.
He asked that the commercial trucks be separated from the
recreational vehicles and that any reference to recreational
vehicles be removed form the ordinance. He stated that he would
support the ordinance if recreational vehicles were not included.

Mr. Ed Thayer, 6526 Clover Place, stated that he would support the
proposed ordinance if recreational vehicles are not included in the
ordinance.
Mr. Tom Moore, 6580 Central Avenue, stated that he felt the
industrial trucks and recreational vehicles are separate issues.
He stated that it seems a person has to make a living. Placing
land values and aesthetics above a person's right to make a living
was not right. He stated that he was not .in favor of the
ordinance. �
Mr. Walter Luekow, 161 64-1/2 Way,. stated that he has had.recrea.-
�tio�al veh.icles for twenty years.:'He stated �hat�he has a�motor��
home parked in his side yard, and this is not a problem for �the
neighbors. He stated that he cam sympathize with people who have
trucks roaring beside their homes. He stated that he would be in
favor of the ordinance if recreational vehicles were excluded from
this proposed.ordinance.
Mr. David Locker, 5664 Jackson Street, stated that he has a 26 foot
motor home, a 30 foot travel trailer, and a 21 foot boat. He felt
that the Council does have to address the issue of the large
commercial vehicles, but that recreational vehicles should be
excluded.
Mr. Edwin Meaney, 6520 Able Street, stated that they have just
bought a 19,000 pound motor home, and they have not had any
complaints from the neighbors. He stated that he would like more
freedom. He stated that he does not appreciate the large
commercial vehicles, garbage vehicles, or sirens, but some things
are necessary. He stated that there are people who have to make
a living with their trucks. He stated that nothing is perfect,
including noise control, and laws now on the books should be
enforced but no more are needed.
Ms. Nancy Hartwig, 4921 3rd Street, stated that this ordinance
would hurt truck drivers. She agreed that the recreational
vehicles should be separated from this ordinance, as it is a
different issue. She stated that truckers make everyone's lives
and jobs easier. She stated that in 1994, there will be
legislation for commercial vehicles, as currently there are no
standards for diesel engines. She stated that semitrailer
operators have to meet stringent standards. Ms. Hartwig stated
that there were four occasions where police officers were
dispatched to her hame to remove trucks on the street. She stated
that they are permitted to load and unload their trucks and then
they must be moved. She stated that they do everything possible
to comply with the ordinances. She felt that everyone has to learn
to be a little tolerant of each other.
Mr. Lee Erdahl, 248 Liberty Street, felt that the ordinance needed
to define trucks versus recreational vehicles. He stated that most
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL ME$TING OF APRIL 18. 1994 PAGS 10
of the recreational vehicles are in the D classification.
Mr. Bob Schewe, 1153 Mississippi Street, stated that he has driven
truck for 35 years. He stated that he does not let his truck run
when it is not necessary. He stated that he plugs his truck in
when he starts it, and it does not cause a lot of smoke. He stated
that if he parked the truck on a commercial property, it would be
vandalized. He felt that what brought this issue to light was the
dump trucks that had not been moved in years. Mr. Schewe felt that
trucks should be allowed in.a residential area and possibly have
restrictions about how long they could run and the length of time
they could be parked.
Councilman Schneider asked � Mr.. Scfiewe what .he . felt would �be a
reasonable period o€ time for trucks to be parked at any one time.
Mr. Schewe stated that three days would be adequate, but this may
be different for other truckers depending on their schedules.
Mr. Larry Petry, 6700 Channel Road, stated that he would like to
use his property as he wishes rather than the City telling him how
he can use his property.
Ms. Elsie Hanscom, 6000 Stinson Blvd., stated that their tow
vehicle is a one ton pickup with an E license. She asked if
recreational vehicles are excluded from this proposed ordinance,
if this would exclude their pickup.
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that the input received this evening
is that anything that is recreational in nature be excluded from
this proposed ordinance. He stated that the Council would take all
the comments into consideration, and he suspected there would be
changes in this proposed ordinance amendment.
Ms. Donna Tigner, 6370 Monroe Street, stated that she owns a
recreational vehicle and has to stand up for the right to protect
private property if it is not an eyesore for the community. She
stated that the large gravel trucks should be removed or painted.
She stated that her parents drive a diesel one ton pickup. If they
were to visit,.she did not know where they could park.
Mr. Rich Olson, 1660 Mississippi Street, felt that the whole
ordinance is ridiculous. He stated that he has lived in Fridley
for 47 years, and vehicles all make the same amount of noise. He
stated that the City is trying to tell someone they do not have the
right to park these vehicles on their property. He stated that he
has lived near the railroad tracks and become adjusted to the noise
over a period of time. He felt that in situations where there are
complaints, generally, the people themselves are having a
disagreement with others in the neighborhood. He stated that it
is not the vehicles as much as it is two parties against each
other.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 18, 1994 PAGB 11
Ms. Janet Langer, representing her father, Lester Chies who resides
at 1530 Rice Creek Road, stated that her father owns the dump
trucks that have caused these problems. She stated that when they
moved to this neighborhood, there were probably only four or five
residents in the area. She stated that she did not believe that
the trucks devalue property, and she submitted a letter from a
licensed realtor, Mr. Art Ohotto, which indicated "that if the
trucks have any affect now, which they may or may not, then they
had to have the same affect when residents bought their property."
He.stated that if the trucks did not affect the value then,.they
should not affect it now. �
Ms: Langer asked why her father'S trucks would not��be �grand-:
fathered, as she uriderstood this was�the case with Fantasy Hous�.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that the question with Fantasy
House was if the ordinance applied to the type of business they
were conducting, and the court stated that it did not.
Ms. Langer stated that the neighbors at one time did have goats and
they were grandfathered.
Mr. Chies stated that Rice Creek Road is a County road and is busy
24 hours a day, so there is noise. He stated that between
3:30 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. you cannot back onto that road.
Mr. Chies stated that he has not used the truck in four years, but
there may come a time when he needs the vehicle.
Ms. Langer stated that her father needed a second vehicle to drive.
Mayor Pro Tem asked if there was not some compromise that could be
worked out with the neighbors. He stated that the City is going
through a lot of discussion and hearings for a handful of problems.
Ms. Langer stated that if someone is making a living driving a
truck, this should not be taken from him.
Mr. Chies stated that he leaves between 5:30 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. and
does not try to wake anyone. He stated that you need enough time
to pump the air up and get out of the driveway. He stated that he
should be told if he is making noise, and he would try to keep it
down.
Ms. Langer stated that she has lived at 1530 Rice Creek Road for
over twenty years, and no one made any comments. She stated that
all of a sudden there was a lawsuit, and they went to court and '
won. She stated that no one took the time to listen to what they
had to say.
MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to receive the letter dated
April 14, 1994 from realtor, Arthur Ohotto, regarding truck parking
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 18, 1994 PAGE 12
on property at 1530 Rice Creek Road. Seconded by Councilman
Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared
the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Wally Froehle, 508 67th Avenue, stated that he has lived in
Fridley 31 years and owned a travel trailer for 25 years. He felt
that people keep their recreational vehicles better looking and
cleaner than some of the homes and yards in Fridley. He felt that
the recreational vehicles and trucks are two different issues,�and
that the.re should be some restrictions on the large commercial
trucks. - . ..
Mr.�Warren Paulson, owner of the Buidget Host Motel on Highway 65,
stated that he has truckers who stay at h�s motel, and he asked his
options for h�is property.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that the options would be to
rezone the property or another solution. If this ordinance is
adopted, language could be included that would apply to Mr.
Paulson's situation.
Mayor Pro Tem Schneider stated that the City does not intend to
inhibit Mr. Paulson's business.
Mr. Douglas Juenemann, 6280 7th Street, stated that he has a
30 foot travel trailer that he has had in storage. He felt that
if it was left on the street for only a few days out of the year,
it would not hurt anyone's property value. He stated that if
recreational vehicles were eliminated from this proposed ordinance,
he would be in favor of it.
Mr. Curt Barsness, 6581 Central Avenue, felt that people with
larger trucks should have some consideration. He felt that if they
are good citizens, they should have the opportunity to park their
vehicles with their neighbors' blessings. He felt that to pas� an
ordinance with no recall does not make much sense.
Mr. Lee Switzer, 5870 7th Street, stated that he owns a recrea-
tional vehicle, has a 3/4 ton pickup, and will probably purchase
a one ton pickup, but he could not do this under the provisions of
the proposed ordinance. He felt that there is too much government
control now, and several years from now it will be tightened
further. He stated that he is not in favor of the ordinance period
because he sees some danger in where it is heading. He felt that
if there is a particular issue, it should be addressed and leave
the rest of the property owners to their private property.
Mr. Dean Bliss, 5212 Fillmore Street, stated that he currently owns
a 9,000 pound recreational vehicle and would not like to see any
weight restrictions on these vehicles. He stated that he would
like recreational vehicles specifically excluded from this proposed
ordinance.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MBETING OF APRIL 18 1994 PAG$ 13
Mr. David Vant, 7555 Van Buren Street, stated that he submitted a
letter which the Council received at the beginning of the meeting.
He stated that he runs a business out of his home and parks his
trucks at a mini-storage facility. He stated that when a truck
runs late, they will sometimes park it in the driveway overnight.
He stated that he would hate for this ordinance to be adopted. He
stated that people are not going to operate a terminal out of their
homes unless a trucker does not have any other option. He stated
that he definitely would not want recreational vehicles included
in this proposed Qrdinance, and.he would like everyone to be able
to keep their personal freedoms.
Mr: Ben'.Baxter; 19I Rice Creek Terrace,. stated� that he wouid
suggest that the ordinance�be revised to exclude church buses and
private school buses parked on church property. He stated he is
concerned that the ordinance is much too broad, and�church buses
should not be included in the ordinance.
Mr. James Dahl, 1520 Rice Creek Road, stated that he has lived at
this address for eight years. He stated that the dump trucks were
at his neighbor's before he purchased his home, and he either had
to accept them or buy another home. He stated that his home has
not decreased in value, but actually has increased. He stated that
the problem comes down to being neighborly. He stated that if
someone has a problem, they should tell the person. Mr. Dahl
stated that he has known Mr. Chies for many years. He knows Mr.
Chies has a lot of respect for neighbors, and the last thing he
would want to do is pollute their air. He stated that he would
like to see the neighbors work this out, as it is a personal issue.
Mr. Jennifer Webber, 1371 75th Avenue, representing her father,
stated that no one had complained about the trucks being parked in
their driveway until now. She stated that when they received a
call that the trucks were noisy, they were quickly started and gone
from the property. She stated that they have invested a lot of
money in the trucks and would like to keep them at their home to
make sure they are not vandalized.
Mr. Webber, 1371 75th Avenue, stated that once he became aware that
the noise was bothering his neighbor, the trucks are only run there
five minutes at the maximum. He stated that both the trucks are
new, are washed every week, and are no eyesore. He stated that a
police officer has checked the noise, and they are not over the
noise limits.
Mr. Arnie Ostlund, 1453 64th Avenue, stated that he has been
parking his truck in his driveway for seventeen years and did not
think there has been any complaints. He stated that the truck is
visible mostly from the front of his driveway. He felt that people
have to try and get along with each other. He stated that most of
the recreational vehicle owners indicated they were in favor of the
ordinance once they felt that recreational vehicles would not be

by Mr. Gonko, which states the facts as he perceives them.
Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all votin.g
aye, Mayor Pro Tem Schneider declared the motion carried
unan3mously. �
Mr. Dick Lund, 6836 Monroe Street, stated that he purchased a
tandem trailer in 1976. He has since sold it and purchased a
travel trailer. He stated that he called the City to d'etermine if
there were any restrictions. Since it had to be parked on
concrete, he paid $800 to install a concrete pad. He stated that
the City is now telling him that he cannot park the trailer on his
property.
Councilman Billings stated that he came to this public hearing
unable to support the ordinance amendment as written and has not
heard anything this evening that changed his point of view. He
stated that he shares some of the comments that were made and
Mr. Dahl's comments about being neighborly. He stated that in most
cases, everyone wants to be good neighbors, and he did not think
the citizens of Fridley want to upset their neighbors.
Councilman Billings stated that six to ten complaints a year are
received on commercial vehicles, and five or six complaints are
received on recreational vehicles. He stated that when the City
gets involved and lets residents know their neighbors are upset,
in most cases, people will probably take care of the problem. He
stated that he honestly does not think this is a big problem in the
City to the point where it has to be regulated, and he could not
support such an ordinance.
No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed
ordinance amendment.
MOTION by Cour,cilman Schneider to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting

card to speak at this public hearing. He thanked everyone for
attending and conducting themselves well, as this was an emotional
issue.

AT 500 73RD AVENUE N.E. AND 1090 73RD AVENUE N.E.:
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Council-
woman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Pro Tem
Schneider declared the motion carried unanimously and the public
hearing opened at 11:10 p.m.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that the peti-
tioners, Fridley Business Center Partnership and Dayton Hudson
Corporation, request that the properties located at 500 73rd Avenue
and 1090 73rd Avenue be replatted. She stated that the purpose of
the replat is to add �15 feet to the Target Northern Distribution
Center to allow a possible future truck parking area expansion, as
well as a possible building expansion, and to also add .9 acres to
the Kwik File property to meet district requirements and allow for
possible future expansion.
Ms. Dacy stated that the Planning Commission recommended approval
of the two plats subject to various stipulations. She stated that
some of the major issues involved the relocation of the bikeway/
walkway, the use of the access onto 73rd Avenue which can be used
by Target only on an emergency basis, and a concern about the
wetlands on the property.
Councilman Billings asked if Target had a special use permit for
outdoor storage.
Ms. Dacy stated that there was a special use permit in 1989, prior
to the change in industrial districts, the ordinance amendment,
and clarification of outdoor screening requirements. She stated
that because the ordinance amendment was adopted after the special
use permit, staff is interpreting that the new ordinance applies.
Councilman Billings stated that the residents in Melody Manor to
the north were very concerned about screening and access to 73rd
Avenue when the original plats were being considered.
FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF APRIL 18, 1994 PAGE 16
Ms. Dacy stated that there was concern regarding screening and
whether trucks would be coming out the entrance near Jackson
Street. She stated that one of the stipulations is for a
landscaping plan which consists of a 100 foot vegetative buffer
adjacent to 73rd Avenue.
Councilman Billings stated that he is apprehensive about an
additianal access on 73rd Avenue, as truck traffic should be kept
to a minimum.
Mr. Tom Bonneville, representing Target Stores Real Estate
Department; stated that this access would be maintained as an
emergency access,�and T.arget will use the same acEess they haye
been using all these years.� He stated that at this time, Target.
is attempting to add land to their property so they can expand when
the need arises.
Councilman Billings asked if Target would be willing to add to the
stipulations that the other access on the Northco Addition onto
73rd Avenue would only be for emergencies.
Mr. Bonneville stated that he did not have a problem with this
being listed as an emergency entrance. He stated that it probably
would be locked most of the time.
No other persons in the audience spoke regarding these plats.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to close the public hearing.

14. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
RENTAL LICENSING ORDINANCE:
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that the next step
for the rental licensing ordinance is for staff to draft a letter
to every owner who receives a license to summarize some of the
changes to the proposed ordinance. She stated that each owner will
be mailed a copy of the proposed ordinance and be advised to review
the ordinance and submit any comments in writing by June 1.
Ms. Dacy stated th�t staff will then provide a report to the
Council so that any changes. could be made. :
Ms, Dacy.stated that staff wished to notify the owners of the
existing . fee and the propos�eci fee. She stated that :if the fee
schedule is adopted as proposed at the public hearing, the owners
would have several months' advance notice to plan for the increase
before their license renewal.
Mayor Nee asked how the ordinance addresses the frequency of
disturbances.
Ms. Dacy stated that it has been clarified that if a hearing is
conducted for a license revocation, this would pertain only to that
unit and not the building in its entirety. She stated that there
were also some other minor adjustments to this section of the
ordinance.
Mayor Nee stated that there seems to be an emotional problem with
the responsibility of the landlords reporting the names of tenants.
He asked if it was needed for other purposes other than dealing
with the behavior issue.
Ms. Dacy stated that this was mostly for the tenant behavior.
Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if there was not a need to maintain
an occupancy list for emergency purposes.
Mr. Dacy stated that the owners are responsible for identifying
themselves or an agent to contact for emergency purposes.
Mayor Nee asked if an occupancy list was needed in order for the
ordinance to be workable.
Ms. Dacy stated that the only reason the roster would be required
is if the Police Department needed it for investigation. She
stated that she would be happy to check into this further and
provide additional information.
Mayor Nee stated that it seemed the residents were emotional on
this issue, and it was not clear to him why the City would need
that information except to determine what units caused problems.

Variance Request, VAR #94-01, by Donald Egerer
for The Uno-Ven Company, 5695 Hackmann Avenue N.E.
The Appeals Commission reviewed the request to increase the maximum
size of free-standing signs from 80 square feet to 227 square feet
at its March 29, 1994, meeting. The variance request is necessary
because Uno-Ven wants to replace one of the two existing free-
standing signs with a 114 square foot sign. When added to the sign
area of the round "76" emblem sign, the total free-standing sign
area for the two signs exceeds the 80 square foot maximum. The
Commission voted unanimously to recommend denial of the request to
the City Council.
The amount of square footage requested was calculated based on
information submitted by the petitioner on March 22, 1994.
Subsequent information submitted by the petitioner on March 29,
1994, indicated that the variance request should actually read "to
increase the maximum size of a sign from 80 square feet to 227
square feet". The Appeals Commission minutes indicate 239 square
feet. The reduction in the variance request is due to a
miscalculation by the petitioner of the area of the existing 12
foot diameter round "76" pylon sign.
Staff inet with the petitioner on April 11, 1994, to review the
variance request and to propose alternatives. The petitioner has
chosen not to pursue any of the alternatives which would reduce the
amount of variance requested. As the four conditions outlined in
Section 214.21 of the Sign Code have not been niet and as there is
no stated hardship by the petitioner, staff recommends that the
City Council deny the variance request.

A. STATED HARDSHIP:
None stated.
B: ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Request
The petitioner requests that a variance be granted to increase
the maximum square footage of a free-standing sign from 80
square feet to 227 square feet. The petitioner proposes to
install a 114 square foot gas price sign to replace the
existing 50 square foot free-standing sign. When added to the
other existing sign. on the property, the total free-standing
sign area is 227 square feet. The request is for 5695
Hackmann Avenue N.E.
Site
Located on the property is a single story, masonry building
used as a convenience store, gas pumps, and canopy. The
property is located at the corner of Hackmann Avenue and.
Hillwind Road. The property is zoned C-1, Local Business.
There is R-1, Single Family Dwelling, zoning to the north and
east, and R-3, General Multiple Dwelling, zoning to the south.
Analysis
Section 214.11.o2.B Fridley Sign Code.requires a maximum size
of 80 sq. ft. in area per development for free-standing signs.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to control visual
pollution by eliminating large and excessive signage.
The petitioner is replacing the existing signage on the site.
Currently located on the property are:
l. One 12 foot wide "76" high-rise sign of 113 square
feet
2. Two 3 ft. x 30 ft. seif-serve signs located on the
gas canopy
3. One 5 ft. x 10 ft. free-standing price sign
4. One 4 ft. x 5 ft. readerboard located on the
building

canopy
The total amount of existing free-standing signage is 163
square feet (#1 and #3). The petitioner is proposing to
remove the existing canopy signs and replace them with three,
3-foot round "76" emblem signs (#2).
The variance request is proposed because the petitioner wants
to install a 114 square foot free-standing gas price sign
(replacing #3). This sign is proposed to be 27 feet tall.
It will have to be reduced to 25 feet as required by the
ordinance. The existing 12 foot round high-rise sign would
remain (#1).
A variance was denied in 1983 to increase the 50 square foot
price sign by 18 feet by adding a readerboard (Council minutes
attached).
Prior to granting a variance from the provisions 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:
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 is a commercial property located on
a corner lot. The subject parcel has good visibility
from the public right-of-way and does not have any
unusual characteristics when compared to other gas
station sites in the area. Currently on the property are
two free-standing signs. The 12 foot round "76" sign is
113 square feet in size and approximately 55 feet tall.
This sign, while only displaying the company logo, is
clearly recognizable by the public as that of a gas
company. The second sign is the 50 square foot price
sign.
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.
1E
Staff Report
VAR #94-01, 5695 Haclanann Avenue, The Uno-Ven Company
Page 3
The subject parcel currently has 163 square feet of free-
standing signage which is 83 square feet in excess of the
maximum amount. Denying the variance would not deprive
the owner of a"substantial property right". There are
several options the petitioner could pursue. The
petitioner has the alternative of increasing the wall
signage on the property to provide the information
necessary to the general public. The petitioner could
also eliminate some of the signage on the proposed pylon
sign. Eighteen square feet of readerboard could be
removed from the pylon sign, thereby reducing the amount
of variance to 209 square feet. A readerboard exists on
the building; therefore, the readerboard on the pylon
sign would be redundant. Another option is to remove the
"76" sign and retain one 80 square foot free-standing
sign as is typical for gas stations. (Total Mart on
Highway 65 is a comparable site.) Denial of the variance
does not deny the petitioner an opportunity to have
signage on the property.
C. That the strict application of the Chapter would
constitute an unnecessary hardship.
Strict application of the Chapter would not constitute
an unnecessary hardship. The petitioner may continue to
use the existing 163 square feet of signage or 80 square
feet as permitted by code if both pylon signs were to be
removed.
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.
Granting the variance would increase the amount of free-
standing signage by approximately 64 square feet. The
purpose of the Sign Code is to attempt to limit the
amount of visual clutter and pollution caused by
excessive signage. Granting the variance would,
therefore, be contrary to the spirit and intent of the
code.
Recommendation
Staff finds that the four conditions outlined above for
granting a variance have not been met. Therefore, staff
recommends that the Appeals Commission recommend denial of the
variance request to the City Council.
1F
Staff Report
VAR #94-01, 5695 Hackmann Avenue, The Uno-Ven Company
Page 4
If the Commission chooses to grant the variance, the following.
conditions should apply:
l. The variance shall remain in effect until:
a. The sign is altered in any way except for
routine maintenance and changing messaqes which
makes the sign less in compliance with the
requirements of the Chapter than it was before
the alterations.
b. The supporting structure of the sign is
replaced or remodeled.
c. The face of the sign is replaced or remodeled.
d. The sign becomes dilapidated or damaged and the
cost of bringing it into compliance is more
than 500 of the value of said sign, at which
time all the sign and its structure be removed.
e. Notwithstanding subparagraph a above, upon
change of the name of the business being
displayed on the sign.
2. The proposed pylon sign of 113 square feet shall be
reduced to a maximum height of 25 feet.
Appeals Commission Action
The Appeals Commission voted unanimously to recommend denial
of the request to the City Council.
Please note that the Appeals Commission minutes will reflect
the sign variance to 239 square feet. The petitioner
clarified the area of the existing "76" sign and determined
that the variance is to 227 square feet of total free-standing
signage.
Staff inet with the petitioner on Monday, April 11, 1994, to
outline the various options the petitioner could pursue. The
petitioner chose not to change the request.
City Council Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Appeals
Commission action.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION.CARRIED AND THE PIIBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:32 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the property is located at the intersection
of Hackmann Avenue, Central Avenue, and Hillwind Road. Located on
the property are a single story masonry building which is used as
a convenience store, gas pumps, and a canopy. The property is
zoned C-1, Local Business. The property to the east is zoned R-1,
Single Family Dwelling. The property to the south is zoned R-3,
General Multiple Dweiling.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is proposing to redo a number
of the signs on the property to upgrade the image of the signage.
There are several types of signs, both wall signs and free-standing
signs, on the property. The signs currently located on the
property are:
l. One 12 foot�wide, 50 foot high, "76" high rise sign of
113 square feet, located in the southwest corner of the
property.
2. One 50 square foot price sign located at the corner of
the property
3. Two 3 ft. x 30 ft. self-serve signs located on the gas
canopy
4. One 4 ft. x 5 ft. readerboard located on the building
5. 30 in. x 25 ft. signs spanning the posts of the gas
canopy
Ms. McPherson stated the total square footage of the free-standing
signs is 163.
1 Q
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 29 1994 PAGE 4
Ms. M�Pherson stated the petitioner is proposing to replace the
existing 50 square foot free-standing sign with a sign.that would
be 113 square feet and would be a double pylon sign with the "76"
emblem, Self-Serve Mart, gas pricing, and a readerboard at the
bottom. This particular sign is proposed at a height of 27 feet.
If a variance is granted, the sign will need to be reduced to 25
feet as that is the maximum height of a free-standing sign in all
zoning districts.
Ms. McPherson stated that in 1983, the City denied a variance to
increase the current 50 foot free-standing sign by 18 feet in order
to add a readerboard.
Ms. McPherson stated that prior to granting a variance from the
provisions of the Sign Code, there are four conditions which must
be met by the petitioner. These four conditions are outlined in
Section 214.21.02 of the Sign Code:
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 property is a commercial property located on a corner lot.
The property has good visibility from the public rights-of-
way and does not have any unusual characteristics when
compared to other gas stations (the Total Mart station at 53rd
Avenue and Central Avenue is a comparable site). Currently
on the property are two free-standing signs, the 12 foot round
"76" sign which is 113 square feet in size and approximately
55 feet tall. This sign, while only displaying the company
logo, is clearly recognizable by the public as that of a gas
company logo. The second sign is the 50 square foot price
sign.
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.
The property currently has 163 square feet of free-standing
signage. While the petitioner is attempting to reduce the
overall signage on the property by reducing the amount of wall
signage, the petitioner is actually increasing the amount of
free-standing signage. The petitioner has the alternative of.
increasing the wall signage on the property, thereby
increasing the amount of information necessary for the general
public. The petitioner could also eliminate some of the
signage on the proposed free-standing sign. For instance, the
readerboard located on the free-standing sign could be
1R
APPEAL3 COMMISSION MEETING MARC$ 2g 1gg4 PAGE 5
eliminated as there is a readerboard on the building. This
would reduce the overall variance down to 221 square feet.
Another option is to remove the existing "76" free-standing
sign and install an 80 square foot free-standing. Denial of
the variance does not deny the petitioner an opportunity to
have signage on the property.
C. That the strict application of the Chapter would
constitute an unnecessary hardship.
Strict application of the Chapter would not constitute an
unnecessary hardship. The petitioner may continue to use the
existing 163 square feet of signage or 80 square feet as
permitted by code if both pylon signs were removed and one
sign of 80 square feet was installed.
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.
Granting the variance would increase the amount of free-
standing signage by approximately 76 square feet. The purpose
of the Sign Code is to attempt to limit the amount of visual
clutter and pollution caused by excessive signage. Granting
the variance would, therefore, be contrary to the spirit and
intent of the code.
Ms. McPherson stated that staff has found that the petitioner has
not met the four conditions outlined for granting a variance and
recommends that the Appeals Commission recommend denial of the
variance request to the City Council. If the Commission chooses
to grant the variance, the following conditions should apply:
1. The variance shall remain in effect until:
a. The sign is altered in any way except for routine
maintenance and changing messages which makes the
sign less in compliance with the requirements of the
Chapter than it was before the alterations.
b. The supporting structure of the sign is replaced or
remodeled.
c. The face of the sign is replaced or remodeled.
d. The sign becomes dilapidated or damaged and the cost
of bringing it into compliance is more than 50% of
the value of said sign, at which time all the sign
and its structure be removed.
��
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING MARCH 29 1994 PAGE 6
e. Notwithstanding subparagraph a above, upon change
of the name of the business being displayed on the
sign.
2. The proposed pylon sign of 113 square feet shall be
reduced to a maximum height of 25 feet.
Ms. Savage asked if the existing "76" free-standing sign was
installed before the current Sign Code.
Ms. McPherson stated that is correct. The original six foot
diameter "Pure Oil" circle sign was installed in 1959. In 1970,
the six foot diameter circle sign was changed from "Pure Oil" to
"76". Later in 1970, that was increased to a 12 foot diameter
circle. A permit was issued for the additional 50 foot free-
standing sign in 1977 just prior to the City adopting the current
Sign Code.
Mr. John Dobrient, The Uno-Ven Company, stated they have no
hardship as far as identification. They are looking at the overall
image of the signs at this location and are trying to reduce the
visual clutter. He submitted information which indicated the
existing signs, signs to be eliminated, proposed signs, net
reduction, and resulting total signage:

APPEAL3 COMMISSION MSETING MARCB 2g lgg4 PAGE 7
Mr. Dobrient stated that, in essence, they are going from 488
square feet of signage to 261 square feet if the new free-standing
pylon sign is approved. They would be reducing a lot of the
existing signage while improving the overall look of the location
and reducing the visual clutter.
Mr. Dobrient stated that if the readerboard is approved on the
pylon sign, they would be willing to remove the readerboard on the
building, so that would be reducing an additional 20 square feet
of signage.
Ms. Savage stated that if the variance is denied and the petitioner
is required to have just one 80 square foot free-standing sign
which is allowed by code, what would the petitioner do?
Mr. Dobrient stated they would not remove the highway sign and
would just leave the signage as is. Right now every 76 gas station
looks different, and their goal is to have a unified look for all
76 stations.
Mr. Dobrient stated they usually put up 8 foot wide signs, but the
one proposed for Fridley is a smaller sign at 6 foot wide. This
is their smallest standard sign, and a smailer pylon sign is not
an option for them.
Ms. Savage stated the Sign Code provides for 80 square feet, and
other gas stations are reguired to stay at 80 square feet. If the
Commission recommends approval of the petitioner's request, then
they would have to allow other gas stations in Fridley to increase
the square footage of their signage.
Mr. Dobrient stated he understood that. However, in this case,
they are actually reducing the overall signage.
Dr. Vos stated that regarding just the free-standing signage, if
the petitioner eliminated the readerboard from the free-standing
sign, that would reduce the square footage to 96 square feet.
Dr. Vos stated this is a difficult request in the sense that the
petitioner is removing a lot of clutter on the property and
reducing some signage. Where the difficulty comes in is that the
ordinance talks about the limitation on free-standing signs, but
is fairly liberal for wall signage..
Ms. Savage stated she thought the building looks good with the
existing wall signage. What she does not think looks good are the
free-standing signs. This gas station is very visible because of
its unique location.
Mr. Dobrient stated they believe the image of the property will be
improved by removing the clutter, the canopy signs and the island
spanners. They are really trying to get an improved look for the
�U
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING. MARCH 29, 1994 PAGE 8
property and a unified look for the 76 stations. They believe the
image of the property will be improved by reducing the clutter.
Mr. Robert Gilstead, 930 Hackmann Avenue N.E. , stated that he Iives
directly east of the station. He stated he believed the proposed
free-standing sign will look nice. He stated that what he sees
from his house are the canopy signs and island spanners, and he
would be in favor of removing those signs.
Ms. McPherson stated that since the signs are modular in design,
another option to further reduce the size of the pylon sign is to
remove the 4 ft. by 6 ft. "Self Serve Mart" panel sign. Then, the
rest of the sign could slide up, further reducing the size of the
pylon sign by another 26 square feet. The "Self Serve Mart" could
be placed on the canopy. Since this is largely a neighborhood-
oriented business, most of the people in the neighborhood are well
aware of the services this business provides.
Ms. McPherson stated that in reading the sign company's brochure,
it states that: "Local ordinances do supercede all 76 sign
requirements." So, there appears to be some flexibility within the
company to reduce the size of the sign.
Mr. Dobrient stated the panel is a custom-made panel, and anything
can be put in that panel. The "Self Serve Mart" is just an
example. He agreed that they could choose not to put that panel
in.
Dr. Vos stated that if the "Self Serve Mart" panel was removed and
the readerboard was removed, that would leave the "76" logo and the
gas prices totalling 72 square feet.
Ms. McPherson stated that with the option just presented, that
would change the variance from 80 square feet to 185 square feet.
That would include the 72 square foot sign as proposed by Dr. Vos
and the 113 square foot free-standing sign, which is a 22 square
foot increase over what is currently on the site.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to close the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:05 P.M.
Ms. Savage stated she did not see how the Commission can recommend
approval of this variance when the four conditions outlined �n the
Sign Code are not being met. This is not a situation where there
is a competing gas station. ,7ust by its unique location, the
property is very visible. She stated she would recommend denial
of the variance. She would hope that the petitioner could work
with staff to redesign the signage to fit within the requirements
of the Sign Code.
�V
APPEAL3 COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 29, 1994 PAGE 9
Ms. Smith stated she agreed. She appreciated the fact that the
petitioner is trying to clean up the signage and improve the
property. However, she found it difficult to approve a sign
variance request which is three times what the Sign Code allows.
There is no hardship, and if the Commission recommends approval of
this variance, it makes it very difficult to deny variances for
larger signs for other gas stations in the same situation.
Ms. Beaulieu stated she agreed. �In 1983, the City denied a
variance to increase the signage. If anything, the ideals of
smaller signs have gotten stronger since that time. The petitioner
agreed that there is no hardship. If the Council wants to change
the Sign Code to consider overall signage (wall signage and free-
standing signage), then the Commission can consider that. However�,
the variance request from 80 square feet to 239 square feet is too
excessive, and she would vote to recommend denial.
Dr. Vos stated he would have to recommend denial of the request as
it has been presented. Personally, he would like to see the free-
standing price sign replaced with a nicer looking sign, but that
is aesthetics, not necessarily part of the variance request. He
did believe there is some possibility of getting the proposed free-
standing sign reduced to a more manageable size and getting rid of
some of the clutter.
MOTION by Ms. Smith, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to recommend to City
Council denial of variance request, VAR #94-01, by The Uno-Ven
Company, per Section 214.11.02.B of the Fridley Sign Code, to
increase the maximum square footage of a free-standing sign from
80 square feet to 239 square feet to allow the installation of a
new sign, at 5695 Hackmann Avenue N.E.

0
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 20, 1994 PAGE 2
zoning is located to the north, and R-1, Single Family Dwelling,
zoning is located to the south.
Ms. McPherson stated the Planning Commission reviewed a similar
request by Friendly Chevrolet in 1993 to conduct a used car sale
on Labor Day, September 3, 4, and 6, 1993. At that time, the
Commission recommended approval of the special use permit request
with 11 stipulations. One stipulation was that the special use
permit was to be reviewed by the Planning Commission prior to the
next sale. The City Council concurred with the Planning
Commission's action.
Ms. McPherson stated staff reviewed the 1993 request with the
Police Department. The Police Department reported that they did
not receive any complaints from the Labor Day sale; however, they.
did recommend that a traffic management person again•be required
to direct traffic away from the neighborhood located south of 69th
Avenue.
Ms. McPherson stated staff has received telephone calls from
residents expressing concerns about the sale.
Ms. McPherson stated this new special use permit request is to
allow two sales in 1994. The first sale would be held the weekend
of May 6-7, 1994, and the second sale would be held again on Labor
Day weekend, September 3 and 5, 1994.
Ms. McPherson stated the automobiles are proposed to be located in
the north parking 1ot of th�e site. Customer parking would be.
located in front of Columbia Arena on the west side.
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is proposing to block off the
area for vehicle displays and reroute traffic within the site. A
tent would be erected and portable toiiets would be provided, one
would need to be handicapped accessible. The petitioner is also
proposing to have 24 hour security on site.
Ms. McPherson stated that pending any testimony from the
neighborhood, staff is recommending that the Planning Commission
recommend approval of this request with the same 11 stipulations
that were approved for the 1993 request:
l. The vehicle sales will occur no more than once per year
for no more than three days over the Labor Day weekend.
2. The use of streamers, pennants, and flags is prohibited.
3. The petitioner shall comply with the temporary sign
ordinance for all temporary signs on the property.

and shall comply with Article 32 of the Uniform Fire
Code.
5. Portable toilets shall be handicapped accessible.
6. The petitioner shall provide a traffic management person
to properly control traffic on site and to prevent
problems occurring on 69th Avenue at the University
Avenue frontage road and to direct unnecessary traffic
away from the residential neighborhood.
7. The participating dealerships shall apply for and receive
the appropriate City licenses.
8. There shall be no test driving of cars in the residential
neighborhood located south of 69th Avenue and in Locke
Park.
9. Barricades shall be placed at the entrance to the
neighborhood on 69th Avenue and on 71st Avenue. The
barricade at 69th Avenue shall include a sign with the
language "residential area - no exit".
10. The cars for the sale shall be street operable and shall
not be excessively leaking fluid.
11. The special use permit shall be reviewed by the Planning
Commission prior to the next sale. .
Mr. Newman stated stipulation #1 will have to be amended to reflect
the two sales.
Ms. McPherson stated that staff's intent was to recommend approval
of the two sales in May and September.
Stipulation #1 was amended as follows: The vehicle sales shall
occur no more than twice per year for no more than three days for
each occurrence on May 6-7, 1994, and over the Labor Day weekend.
Mr. Roger Moody, President of Friendly Chevrolet, stated that there
are four dealerships involved in the sale. He stated they had the
sale last year and really did not have any problems. They received
no complaints from the Police Department or from the residents, and
they expect no problems this year.
Mr. Scott Lund stated he lives in the residential area directiy
south of Columbia Arena. He stated he was at home over Labor Day
weekend last year, and he was not even aware of the sale.

MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to close the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:36 P.M.
Mr. Saba stated he drove by Columbia Arena during the sale last
year, and he did not see any negative impact on the surrounding
neighborhood.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr, Oquist, to recommend to City
Council approval of Special Use Permit, SP #94-02, by Friendly
Chevrolet, per Section 205.14.O1.C.(2) and (3) and per Section
205.12.02.B.(3) of the Fridley City Code, to allow agencies selling
or displaying new and/or used vehicles, recreational vehicles, or
boats on that part of the Southeast 1/4 of the Southwest 1/4 lying
southerly of the northerly 50 feet thereof, lying northerly of the
- southerly 400 feet thereof, and lying westerly of the easterly 600
feet thereof, excluding that part taken for road, and subject to
easements of record, generally located at 7011 University Avenue
N.E. with the following stipulations:
l. The vehicle sales shall occur no more than twice per year
for no more than three days for each occurrence on May
6-7, 1994, and over the Labor Day weekend.
2. The use of streamers, pennants, and flags is prohibited.

and shall comply with Article 32 of the Uniform Fire

6. The petitioner shall provide a traffic management person
to properly control traffic on site and to prevent
problems occurring on 69th Avenue at the University

7. The participating dealerships shall apply for and receive
the appropriate City licenses.

8. There shall be no test driving of cars in the residential
neighborhood located south of 69th Avenue and in Locke
Park.
9. Barricades shall be placed at the entrance to the
neighborhood on 69th Avenue and on 71st Avenue. The
barricade at 69th Avenue shall include a sign with the

10.
11.
The cars for the sale shall be street operable and shall
not be excessively leaking fluid.
The special use permit shall be reviewed by the Planning
Commission prior to the next sale.
Mr. Kondrick stated that if they approve these two sales this year,
how soon before the petitioner or another dealership is requesting
three sales, then four sales, etc.? Some thought should be given
to the frequency of these kind of sales. He has some concern about
this and wants to make sure that the City keeps some type of
control over these kinds of sales.
Ms. McPherson stated that, typically, for single type commercial
uses, general outdoor sales on a routine basis are not permitted
with the exception of the SuperAmericas who are allowed, as part
of their special use permit, to have merchandise on the sidewalks
directly in front of their buildings. Otherwise, all other
outdoor-type sale uses; for instance, the automobile, RV, and boat
dealerships are all special uses in the commercial districts, so
it would be up to the City, based on the Commission's
recommendation, to set the parameters and guide-lines for these
types of sales.
Mr. Newman stated that as he understood the current ordinance,
different people could have leases for the Columbia Arena parking
lot each weekend during the summer, and the City could,
theoretically, be dealing with a different special use permit for
each weekend.
Ms. McPherson stated that is true; but, again, through the special
use permit process, it is up to the City to determine whether it
is in the City's best interest to have these types of sales.
Mr. Newman stated they also have to be careful not to overreact;
because if these things do start to occur, it would be difficult
for the City to say that one dealership can have a sale; but
another dealership cannot have a sale because one sale has already
been held. As Mr. Kondrick said, they will have to keep an eye on
this.
� �
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 20, 1994 PAGE 6
Ms. McPherson stated that on May 4, 1994, the Planning Commission
will be considering an ordinance change to allow the outdoor sale
of food within commercial districts. This may be an opportune time
to consider amending other portions of the Zoning Code to address
these concerns.,
Mr. Newman stated he did not want his comments to negatively
reflect on this particular special use permit request to the City
Council.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� C$AIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY.
Ms. McPherson stated this special use permit request will go to
City Council on May 2, 1994.
2. VACATION REQUEST: SAV #94-01, BY SCOTT LUND:
To vacate the Easterly 179.57 feet of a 15 foot drainage and
utility easement lying adjacent to and nvrth of the.south lot
line of Lot 3, Block 1, Central View Manor 2nd Addition,
generally located on Highway 65 south of Fireside Drive and
north of 73 1/2 Avenue N.E.
Ms. McPherson stated the original informal hearing notice indicated
that only the easterly 179.57 feet of the drainage easement was to
be vacated. However, in a conversation with the adjacent property
owner to the west, Alvin Schrader, Mr. Schrader agreed that he
would also be interested in vacating the easement on his property
so this is actually going to be a joint vacation request between
Mr. Lund and Mr. Schrader.
Ms. McPherson stated the Planning Commission recently reviewed a
plat request and a rezoning request for this particular area to
allow the petitioner to construct a 13,000 square foot industrial
building on the property. However, the building encroaches into
a drainage and utility easement. There are no utilities currently
located within this easement area, and additional drainage and
utility easements have been dedicated along the west, north, and
easterly lot lines af this particular parcel which would adequately
handle the storm water. The petitioner would not need the easement
for the location of utilities to service the building, and the City
does not have a need for this particular easement.
Ms. McPherson stated the property owner to the west, Mr. Schrader,
is interested in developing the remaining lots with a large single
use. It would be likely that any structure would aiso encroach
into the drainage and utility easement; therefore, it is
recommended that the easement be vacated. Also, the City does not
have any utilities in the westerly portion of the easement, and
storm water would be controlled on site by a grading and drainage
plan which would be required of that developer.
4E
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 20, 1994 PAGE 7
Ms. McPherson stated staff recommended that the Planning Commission
recommend approval of this vacation request with one stipulation:
The rezoning request, ZOA #94-01, and plat request, P.S. #94-01,
shall be approved.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Saba, to recommend to City
Council approval of vacation request, SAV #94-01, by Scott Lund,
to vacate the Easterly 179.57 feet of a 15 foot drainage and

Lake Pointe
Ms. Dacy stated a new advertising brochure has been developed
by the consultant for the Lake Pointe property. Staff is in
the process of putting together inserts that will be inserted
into the right flap of the brochure which will focus on
employment, demographic information, school information, tax
information, testimonial quotes from members of major
industries, etc.
Ms. Dacy stated the consultant will develop a list of the top
companies in the metro area and Minnesota and will do a direct
mailing of these advertising brochures. They have yet to
decide on what type of followup will be conducted.
Ms. Dacy stated that the brochure was displayed at the
Commercial Real Estate Exhibition on Wednesday, April 13.
The HRA will soon be installing signs on the property which
advertise "Corporate Office Park Far Sale".
Ms. Dacy stated they will begin advertising the Lake Pointe
site more in major business magazines such as Corporate
Report, Minnesota Ventures, Nlinnesota Real Estate Journal,
etc.
Mr. Kondrick stated that staff might want to consider putting
an article in the Focus News and Minneapolis Star & Tribune
to not only advertise the site, but also to let people know
why it is a good thing that the Fridley Housing & Redevelop-
ment Authority purchased back the site and what development
on the property is going to mean for the City of Fridley.
4G
PLANNING COMMIS3ION MEETING, APRIL 20, 1994 PAGE 9
Ms. Dacy stated Mr. Kondrick has a good point, and staff will
discuss it.
Southwest Quadrant .
Ms. Dacy stated the HRA has authorized staff to interview a
number of housing developers to look at housing options. The
Council and HRA want staff to investigate some type of mixed
use proposal with retail on the first floor of a multi-story
building with condos or apartments on the remaining stories.
Staff is also evaluating whether or not the existing
apartments to the south can be rehabbed and incorporated
somehow into a project.
b. Planning Depart�ent
Ms. Dacy stated that because of the new found emphasis on
housing and some of the other planning issues, the City
Council has authorized the City Manager to discuss adding more
staff to the Planning Department. They will soon be
advertising to fill the vacant Planning Coordinator position
and also for an intern on a part-time basis for the next 3-4
months.

Request
The petitioner requests that a special use permit be issued to
allow the sale of used cars. The request is located at Columbia
Area, 701i University Avenue N.E.
Site
The property is located in the northeast corner of the
intersection of 69th and University Avenues. The property is
zoned, P, Public Facilities. There is M-2, Heavy Industrial
zoning to the north, and R-1, Single Family Dwelling zoning to
the south.
Background
The Planning Commission reviewed a similar request (SP #93-13) by
Friendly Chevrolet to conduct a used car sale on Labor Day, 1993
(September 3, 4, and 6). The Planning Commission recommended
approval of the request with the following stipulations:
1. The vehicle sales will occur no more than once per year for
no more than three days over the Labor Day weekend.
2. The use of streamers, pennants, and flags is prohibited.
3. The petitioner shall comply with the temporary sign

9. Barricades shall be placed at the entrance to the
neighborhood on 69th Avenue and on 71st Avenue. The
barricade at 69th Avenue shall include a sign with the
language "residential area - no exit".
10.
11.
The cars for the sale shall be street operable and shall not
be excessively leaking fluid.
The special use permit shall be reviewed by the Planning
Commission prior to the next sale.
The City Council concurred with the Planning Commission
recommendation.
Staff reviewed the 1993 request with the Police Department. The
Police Department did not receive any complaints from the 1993.
Labor Day sale. They recommended, however, that a traffic
management person again be required to direct traffic away from
the neighborhood located south of 69th Avenue.
Two residents have contacted staff regarding their concerns about
the sale. Testimony regarding the previous sale may be heard at
the upcoming meeting.
Analysis
The petitioner's new request is to allow two sales in 1994. The
first sale will be held the weekend of May 6 and 7. The second
sale to be held on Labor Day with the sales event to occur
September 3 and 5, 1994.
The automobiles are proposed to be located in the north parking
lot of the site. The customer parking will be in front of the
arena in the west parking lot. The area for the vehicle displays
is proposed to be blocked off and traffic re-routed within the
site. A staff person will direct traffic on-site. A tent will
also be erected and portable toilets provided. As the public
will not have access to the arena, portable toilets will need to
be handicapped accessible. The petitioner is proposing to have
24 hour security.
Recommendation
Pending further testimony from the adjacent neighbors, staff
recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the
special use permit request with the previously-approved
stipulations from SP #93-13.

Public Hearinq on Ordinance Amendinq Chapter 2 and
Section 4.04 of the Fridley City Charter
April 27, 1994
At the April 25, 1994 meeting of the Fridley Home Rule Charter
Commission the attached amendments to Chapter 2 and Section 4.04
of the Fridley City Charter were approved by the Charter Commission
and recommended to the City Council for enactment by ordinance.
The Charter Commission also voted to expedite presentation of these
amendments to the Council rather than wait for approval of the
minutes at their May 23, 1994 meeting.
On behalf of the Charter Commission I request that you present
these amendments to the Fridley City Council at their meeting of
May 2, 1994 with the recommendation of setting a public hearing
before the Council on June 6, 1994.
These amendments have been submitted to the Council on several
occasions in the past. The current proposal is the same as the
previous one with the exception that the present language in the
first sentence of Section 2.05.01 (new Section 2.06.01) has been
restored. The previously proposed amendment which would have made
"failure of any Councilmember to attend eight (8) consecutive
regular meetings of the Council" grounds for declaration of a
vacancy has been withdrawn.
Since the proposed amendments involve a considerable reorganization
of Chapter 2 I have summarized them below listing items by sections
in the proposed amended version. Some of these comments also
appear in bold type face interspersed in the body of the text.
2.01.01
2.01.04
Clarifies the source of the "Council-Manager" plan of
government.
Expands the ability of the Council to require production
of non-documentary evidence such as electronic data.
Memorandum to William W. Burns
Public Hearing on Amendments to Fridley City Charter
Chapter 2 and Section 4.04
April 27, 1994
Page Two
2.02.02- Deletes language which was required for the transition
2.02.04 to elections in even numbered years and links the
election of Mayor and Councilmember-at-large to
presidential election years and of Ward Councilmembers
to gubernatorial election years.
2.02.05 Changes slightly and clarifies when terms of office begin
and end.
2.03 The previous section 2.06 was one long paragraph. This
has been broken up into subsections for greater clarity.
2.03.01 Corrects the title of the Mayor pro tem and specifies
that the appointment is only for the temporary absence
or disability of the Mayor.
2.03.05 Clarifies that the Mayor's duty is not an on-going,
annual duty, but rather something done when necessary at.
the direction of the Council. This avoids a potential
conflict with section 2.OZ.02 which prohibits the City
Council from attempting to perform administrative duties
other than through the City Manager.
2.03.06 Revised to allow the Mayor to take control. in time of
emergency without first having to seek Council approval.
2.04.01 Deletes obsolete references to the original City Charter.
2.04.02 Changes for clarity which do not affect the substance of
the section being amended.
2.04.04 Changes made �to accommodate the very complicated and
frequently changing state legislation and case law
regarding r.edistricting of wards and precincts.
Eliminates the penalty against the Council for failure
to redistrict in a timely fashion after the decennial
census.
2.05 Clarifies the disqualifications of Councilmembers from
being employed by the City in other capacities.
2.�06.01 Provides a time frame of thirty days from the event in
� question for the declaration of a vacancy.
2.06.02 Provides for a special election to fill a vacancy
declared to occur in approximately the first three and
a half years of a four year term of office, that is
before filings for the next election of the office in
Memorandum to William W. Burns
Public Hearing on Amendments to Fridley City Charter

question are closed. Changes the window from 45 to 60
days to 30 to 65 days. The current state requirement of
having absentee ballots available one month before the
election, the requirements of notice, and the amendment
requiring at least eight consecutive working days for
filing for.office might make it difficult or impossible
to hold a Tuesday election within 60 days.
2.06.03 Allows for a primary election prior to a special election
to fill a vacancy if more than two candidates file.
2.06.04 Requires the Council to appoint a non-candidate if the
vacancy occurs after filings are closed but before
October 1 of the fourth year of the term.
2.06.05 Provides for the winner of the general election to assume
office immediately if the vacancy occurs on or after
October 1 of the fourth year of the term.
2.06.06 Provides for the Councilmember-at-Large to serve as Mayor
during a vacancy in that office.
2.06.07 & Provides for restoration of the Council in case the
2.06.08 membership of the Council is reduced to two or less, for
example in the case of a catastrophe or multiple
resignations.
2.07 Deletes obsolete language from the original charter.
4.04 Clarifies the fact. that special elections to fill a
vacancy on the Council are governed by section 2.06. �

SUBJECT: Mounds vew Joint Powers Agreement
PW94-130
The cities of Mounds View and Fridley have been working together to upgrade Stinson
Boulevard/Pleasant �ew Drive. We have received a petition from the residents to construct the
street 38 feet wide, parking both sides and to assess for concrete curb and gutter not-to-exceed
$8 per front foot. We have held a public hearing on the improvement project.
The attached Joint Powers Agreement outlines the participation and process for completion of
the project. The total cost for the project is estimated at $254,000. Ramsey County will be
contributing $94,000, consisting of $42,000 for design and inspection and $52,000 for
construction costs. This leaves $160,000 to be split equally between the two cities, oc $80,000
each.
This street will be constructed to MSAS standards and will provide for storm water
improvements which initially will continue in Fridley but will ultimately be diverted into the
Mounds View Comprehensive Storm Water Plan when it is initiated.
Request the City Council authorize the Mayor and City Manager to enter into the Joint Powers
Agreement so that we may initiate the advertisement and construction process for completion
this summer.

$30,000 predicated upon the assumption that the lead paint from the sandblasting of the tank
would require special handling. Testing of the residual sand during the cleaning process
indicated that it was able to be handled as an industrial waste at a disposal cost of $8,168.91.
In the contract, we also expecienced a deduct of $16.81 based upon the materials used.

BASE BID
�-
The 24-inch diameter watermain that feeds the Commons Park Water Tower was approximately
11 feet deep rather than the expected 7 feet deep. This necessitated an additional 4 feet of access
riser. Also an air release valve and an extemal sensing line were added to the altitude valve vault
to improve the sensitivity of the altitude valve. The cost of these additional items was $1,343.
� .-� -.� :-�.
The firm of AEC Engineers and Designers inspected the Commons Park Water Tower. �'he plans
and specifications for the water tower refurbishing were developed based on AEC's
recommendations.
AEC inspected the water tower in poor light conditions and in an uncleaned condition. Very
often, required repairs are missed during the initial inspection because of the poor light conditions
and the fact that the water tower has not been cleaned and sandblasted.
In anticiparion that additional reqnired repairs would be identified after the water tower was
cleaned and sandblasted, the base bid included an allowance of 500 pounds of steel, 100 hours of
welding, and 100 hours of grinding to complete the additional required repairs that were not
identified during the initial inspection by AEC.
Rainbow, Inc. bid the allowance items as follows:
•.•►•
SrP�t
500 lbs. @ $2.50/lb
W .ldin
100 hours @ $55.00/hr
(;n�
100 hours @ $55.00/hr

5,500
1.1
Total Allowance for Unidentified Repa.irs $12,250
Rainbow, Inc. has submitted documentation for the steel, welding, and grinding that were used
to make the unidentified repairs.
To reduce the cost of making the additional required repairs that were identified after the water
tower was cleaned and sandblasted, some of the seams along steel plates were sealed with an
8C
900/009-2501.apr
epoxy seam sealer in lieu of seal welding. Rainbow, Inc. has also submitted documentadon of
the cost for seam sealing using an epoxy seam sealer. A summary of the costs for maldng the
unidentified repairs appears below:
••

Total Cost of Maldng Unidentified Repairs
$ 1,060.13
� :� � ��
2,200.00

$10,890.13
Because the allowance amount of $12,250 exceeds the cost of $10,890.13 for completing this
portion of the work, a credit of $1,359.87 resulted.
�� �� . .
The cost of the work completed under the base bid can now be summarized below:

Credit for Unidentified Repairs
Final Amount
$376,667.00
+ 1,343.00
-1,359 R7
$376,650.13
From this summary, it can be determined that the work under the base bid was completed for
slightly less than the bid price_
WASTE DISPOSAL
The project specifications required that the spent sand/paint residue stockpile be sampled and
tested fvr heavy metals prior to disposal. If the testing results concluded that the spent sand/paint
residue could be disposed of as solid waste, the cost of waste disposal was part of the base bid
price. An alternate bid was also taken for disposal of the spent sand/paint residue as a hazardous
waste. Rainbow, Inc. bid an additional $30,000 for disposal as a hazardous waste. The testing
that was conducted determined the lead concentration exceeded the 2.5 milligram per liter limit
900/009-2501.apr � D
that would allow it to be placed in a landfill permitted to take non-industrial waste. However,
between the time the project specifications were written and the time the waste was disposed of,
Browning Ferris Industries (BFn Medina Landfill received a permit to accept industrial waste with
lead concentrations of up to 5 milligrams per liter. Because the maximum concentration of lead
in the spent sand/paint residue was found to be only 4.3 milligrams per liter, the spent sand/paint
residue was disposed of in BFI's Medina Landfill.
Because disposal charges are higher at an industrial waste landfill, Rainbow, Inc. is entided to
additional compensation for disposal of the spent sand/paint residue at the Medina Landfill.
Rainbow, Inc. has submitted documentation that 110.54 tons of waste were disposed of. The
disposal cost in the Medina Landfill was $98.90 per ton. Rainbow has requested that they be
reimbursed for the disposal cost in excess of the allowance included in their bid ($25.00/ton) for
disposal of the waste in a non-industrial waste landfill. This results in an additional amount of
$8,171.12 as determined below:
� �.� �
110.54 tons @ $98.90/ton
a u� � � : �
110.54 tons @ $25.00/ton

Additional Amount
$10,932.41
. 1
$ 8,168.91
Rainbow, Inc. disposed of the waste in accordance with Minnesota Pollution Control Agency
pollution control requirements. In doing so, they incurred additional costs. Although an
additional $8.168.91 is a significant sum, it is almost $22,000 less than the bid amount for
disposal of the waste as a hazardous waste. If BFI's Medina Landfill had not been permitted to
accept waste with lead concentrations of up to 5 milligrams per liter, the City of Fridley would.
have incurred an additional cost of almost $22,0(}0 for disposing of the waste as a'Hazardous
waste.

SUBJECT: Award of Street Improvement Project No. ST. 199410 (Sealcoat)
On April 26, 1994, we opened the bids for Street Improvement Project No. ST. 199410
(Sealcoat). Five potential bidders received the plans and. specifications and finro (2) bids were
received. The low bidder was Asphalt Surface Technologies Corporation (ASTECH), with a total
bid of $246,165.41.
Based upon the results of the sealcoat testing that was performed by MnDOT and the Metro
area cities in 1993, we had incorporated a modified aggregate specification into this year's
sealcoat project. At the same time, we had the contractor provide us with a cost to use the
standard aggregate specification that has been used in the past. The base bid by ASTECH of
$246,165.41 included the use o# the modified aggregate. The alternate bid provided by
ASTECH reflecting the use of the standard aggregate specification was for $186,358.04, or a
deduct of $59,807.37. MnDOT has notified us that they are willing to contribute $5;000 toward
the use of the modified aggregate in order to evaluate its effectiveness.
Based upon the substantial increase in cost in using the modifed aggregate, we recommend
that the City Council award the Street Improvement Project No. ST. 199410 (Sealcoat) to
Asphalt Surface Technologies Corporation for $191,358.04. This includes $186,358.04 for the
standard aggregate sealcoat and $5,000 to be applied toward the use of the modified sealcoat
aggregate which will be refunded to the City by MnD�T.
