At the September 1994 HRA meeting, authorization was provided to hire McCombs, Frank, Roos Associates, Inc. to assist with the site plan guidelines and to hire Close and Associates to assist with the exterior building design guidelines. Development of Design Guidelines The consultants prepared a nwmber of site plan and exterior building design options for Planning Commission consideration its September 7, 1994 meeting and the October 5, 1994 meeting. The consultants have compiled the Planning Commission's discussion into a written outline which is included separately your packet. Minutes of both meetings are also attached__ (Attac�ment #1). at in The consultants and staff also met with two local realtors to gain a practical market perspective of the site as a residential housing development. On October 12, 1994, staff and consultants met with Dave Ryan of Coldwell Banker and Bill Pickering of Burnet Realty. A synopsis of their impressions of the 5outhwest Quadrant as a housing site is attached (Attachment #2). Both stressed that the development needs to overcome a commercial image. They also stressed the importance of mitigating or eliminating as many negative impressions of the site as possible, such as noise from University Avenue and compatibility with the apartments to the south. On the positive side, however, they � Recommendation on Design Guidelines October 20, 1994 Page 2 noted other existing features of the intersection would complement the development such as the Fridley Plaza Clinic and convenience shopping available at Holly Center. The realtors also noted a strong demand for the empty-nester market in the $90,000 -$120,000 range. Townhome living appears , to be more attractive than in recent years. They feel the attractiveness of the price of the unit will be the strongest asset, and that Fridley residents will compose most of the market demand for the townhomes. Where Do We Go From Here? The City Council and HRA are now at "Step 2" of the review process outlined in Attachment #3. The next step is to meet with the top two developers (selection to occur later in the meeting), find out additional information; and find out the developer's response to the design guidelines. Staff will then recommend a developer at the.November 10, 1994 HRA meeting and the November 14, I994 City Council meeting. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council and HRA authorize staff to use these guidelines as a starting point to�meet with the selected developers. It is not necessary to adopt a specific site plan or bnilding design; rather, it is intended that the guidelines reflect what the City wants to accomplish in the redevelopment.

Ms. Dacy reviewed the properties considered�to be`�'part of`the southwest quadrant. T�ie City Council and HRA have not yet come to a conclusion but they are evaluating the option to�- �' significantly rehabilitate the apartment buildings or the option to acquire the apartments, relocate the tenants, demolish the buildings and gain additional acreage. That decision should be made fairly soon. Between now and November, there will be two processes going on at one time. The Planning Commission is being asked to look at how the development should be designed and how thi.s should look_ At the same time, staff will be working with � developers to solicit interest in owner-occupied townhomes or, perhaps, apartments for empty nesters. ATTACHMENT #1 � . PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 12 Mr. Kondrick stated, regarding the senior apartment building, there is a high-rise on Central Avenue by the car wash. It was a senior building for many years and then it changed to open housing. Since that change, there has been an increase in crime and problems. Is there a way to insist that this will remain as originally intended? Ms. Dacy stated this can be controlled to a certain degree. Housing for seniors and/or empty nesters daes not necessarily mean a high-rise. The taller the building the more room that is needed for parking. Staff are thinking of 40-60 units with a bui.lding three or four stories tall. Mr. Kondrick stated he has talked with friends about townhouse developments and they want to know what kind of money this will mean. There are concerns about this being low income and that this may turn into something that we do not want. Mr..Saba stated he has also heard similar concerns. Ms. Dacy stated this is also a concern of the City Council and HRA.-_. The::minimum value:of the homes being considered is . _. _ approximately $90,000. They want this to be a quality ,, development as part of the downtown area. �... . . �- ,- ._ .i 's � =:.; r , . :: ,.�. w t- � ��• _ Mr Kondrick stated he has concerns also;.about muitiple�owners. � Mr. Newman stated he-.thought.one must look at the market place.

Mr. Kondrick agreed that this=could b�.a good development if it is quiet, weil planned and well developed_ There is access and � this is a convenient location. Ms. Modig stated, in order to be an attractive development, they will need to acquire the apartments also. With the apartments there as they are, this will not be an attractive area. Mr. Saba stated he thought the railroad tracks would also have an effect. Residents need access to the river or to a park area, � 0 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1994 PAGE 13 and he'`-didn't'think you could get that with a shopping center across the street.� • •• Mr. Kondrick stated he thought this could be a quality development but it will take some dollars to make it an attractive area_ Ms. Dacy stated there are two processes going on at the same time. The Planning Commission is to review the consultant's site plan and the architect will bring forward some designs. Concurrently, the HRA is concerned about market issues. Staff have talked to developers to address the site, and the developer is asking some of the same questions. Hopefully, when the Planning Commission is done, the HRA will have a short list of developers willing to work with us on the design issues. What we can do to make this better is the intent. She thought_,the City Council and HRA agree with the concerns expressed here. Mr. Kondrick asked the number of units proposed for senior housing. Ms. Dacy stated the senior housing would be 40 to 60 units. The other issue i�s to try to get the density on the townhomes to be attractive .;to a�.developer and at the same , time _ generate ,the tax increment =base ;�for_=the�HRA =�T°The-�towniiome-=�deeelopers` would like -to-;.ha�e� ,a11 10.-acres �=: Thisr:�is:=`one of. the--few-'sites left:`: zoned R- 3. . ;� '�',": - - . ;�,- �. .

Mr:' Oquist asked`� if Ms.� Dacy �had an idea of what affect that may . ,have on a townhouse development parallel with that. It seems to be based on the size of the area. Ms. Dacy stated the reaction from developers has been positive. They would like the entire 10 acres, but the uses can co-exist. Mr. Kondrick asked, if the apartments were to b� acquired, the overall acquisition costs would be increased and this would also have a bearing on this. �. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SEPTEMBER 7 2994 PAGE 14 Ms. Dacy stated this is a decision to be made by the HRA and the City Council. The Planning Commission should try to focus on the exterior designs and look at a site plan. Also, conduct�a neighborhood meeting. Mr. Oquist stated the timetable is tight. Ms. Dacy stated the HRA would be selecting the short list of developers in October. Staff would have the rest of October to work with this short list to see if one developer will work. The schedule is aggressive. She hopes in two weeks to have someone at the meeting to present some comments. Mr. Newman recommended having two meetings. One of the key events is the Parade of Homes. If this could be done by next fall, this event would help. The.City does not want to force a bad product and will take the time needed. � -- Ms. .Dacy stated the_architect wiil look at the exterior oE the buildings. Staff have asked for three alternatives just to start laying out some conc.epts and asked members to try to visualize how they want this to look. This will be included as part of the next meeting's_agenda. 3. ,.(Continued).,PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A SPECTAL SE PERMIT, SP #94-12 BY MONTE AND MICHELLE MAHER. =�s. . ,, , _ . =` - .,. : Mr. Newman stated informed the petitioner that the C ission had already taken action to table this item until Sept er 21.

Although the'Commission may not have the same feelings;-he asked they:try-::to keep daytime and nighttime visual;and sound.in mind to-make the most habitable environment. Ms. O'Connell stated, at the last meeting, the favorable comments were with Plans B and C and those are.the plans that have been developed. At the last meeting, they did not have avaiiable the site improvement along Mississippi. The site is therefore smaller. They met with staff and set guidelines for 3rd Street as a through street. There is a 60-foot right-of-way and a 60 degree curve. They have also.added a detention pond. The Commission indicated they liked using 3rd Street as a transition. PLANNING COMMISSION HE$TING, OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 14 The density has been reduced using the recommendation oi 1/3 single level and 2/3 multi level. Ms. O'Connell presented two plans - B which is organized around a pedestrian use, and C which is organized around village greens. The difference in housing is that C has a row house style that faces a village green. The green is 62 feet across and the backs of the units are 40 feet-45 feet apart. B has car entry ports. Where the units face each_other is closer and the back yards have 65 feet between units. B has the view directed to the rear. An open space dissects the site and breaks it down into spaces. Pedestrians travel alvng the sides of the homes for the most part and connects wi.th future and�existing trails within the city. C focuses on open space which is the village green and is something people view and walk around. There is less open space in the back. Pedestrians travelling within the site have a different experience. _On B, the meeting is by chance on the trails:= The homes do not have direct views onto the trail. P1an C has a pedestrian and auto�mix:which;is a more=formal experience.��` Pedestrians walk along the houses and around the green.

Typical planting � . , PLANNING COMMISSION MSETING, OCTOBSR 5. 1994 PAGB 15 size is 2.5 to 3 inches which 'transplants well. The bigger the tree, the more cos�ly. �• Mr. Saba asked if they would be using a mix of deciduous and evergreens . -"` _ Ms. O'Connell stated there would be both. Evergreens go well for screening. Mr. Newman asked if, in Plan C, there was enough room along University for mature trees. , Ms. O'Connell stated this does not need a lot of greenery. The front of the unit is the entrance and the view is to the rear. Plan B has a different effect. There can be a combination. Mr. Kondrick stated the garages m�y act as a sound barrier, but in terms of marketability, he is worried about the noise from �:- University compared to greenery on the.-.other plan. � Mr. Hargans stated the space does'not help with sound.::It is more of a visual thing as far; as sound.

Plan�•B would probably xequire snow to be moved out of the roadways. Plan C would have space on tiie village greens. There may-be a probleYU on�the_frontage road. Mr. Oquist asked if the City would maintain the roadway. Ms. Dacy stated the City would maintain 37rd Street. The roadways in the complex would be private. Mr. Oquist asked, on Plan B, if there is,an issue from an emergency standpoint with the.walkway. Ms. O'Connell sta�ed,150 feet maximum feet is the guideline. If there is a concern, a i6-foot width could be kept.free of trees. Mr. Ne�rman stated he has concerns about someone qetting��lost an�l needing`a place to.turn around.

His son lived in a community in Denver which had the walkway concept which was very nice. Plan C is too geometric and too neat. He liked the village greens and the mall effect but there is aiso some of that on the other plan. B has better buffering. He woul.d like.to see something done with the apartments. There needs to be a buffer to the rest of community. As long as they are going this far, he would green up also.

Personally, he didn't think this was a place for a highrise. It would be out of scale to what this would be. If there needs to be senior housing, in need to be in scale with what is in the development. There is a problem with snow removai and snow storage. Mr. Newman stated he likes on Plan B the set backs from the roadways, the screening, the berms, and the walkway. The car courts create a claustrophic effect. There seems to be more hard surface area. He likes the village greens on C. Depending on the architecture,.they could_duplicate that on B. He has seen complexes such as B elsewhere. Plan C is distinctive and set off from other communities. From the standpoint of parking, snow removal and getting lost, the traffic flow is eas.ier on C. Mr. Kondrick stated it was of interest that�people would be walking around that area. If going by the drawings, it does not indicate-that. Most garages have access off the drive.

Mr. Hargans stated the'architects•have been-working closely with the site planners which is the first part of this project. Now we are getting into the architecture. He would like reaction based on those things the Commission wants to see. For guidelines, we need to come to the best option and include those aspects that you like the best. Handling water on the site is an - issue. The roof forms must respond handle water. The sense of . identity is also a consideration. How much do you want to accentuate the individual unit? There is a piece that talks PLANNING COMMISSION MBETING, OCT�BSR 5, 1994 PAG$ 20 about accessories. Another issue is green space and also usable:< green•space. How much is-usable? Green space will be used for . buffers. We must also thinlc about la�d use. - ` Mr. Hargans presented a variety af forms from simple to more complex. This can be the extent to which to suggest a style. What kind of character do you want the area to have? In Fridley, most of the housing has low roofs, broad overhangs and a horizontal type of facade. Two-thirds of the units are two- - story. How are you going to get that effect with a two-story unit? The designs start as very simple to more complicated design. As the design gets more complicated, it also gets more expensive. Sometimes the details can add a touch of character and they will price these at a certain point�in the process.in order to know the costs. The colonial revival style has a few more details. Again, the same style can be enhanced with dorYmers, bays, etc.-: There is quite a height to the ufiits. There are also some developments that have rooftop terraces as extra space on a small site. -This is also going in ne� to other flat � roofed liuildings.. Again, the designs can range from simple to � more complicated. .

Mr. Hargans stated he thought this'type of building could hold � its own on a corner with other:-flat roof buildings in the area. The area has to be transitional. This must be part of the urban PLANNING COMMISSION ME$TING, OCTOBBR 5. 1994 PAGE 21 fabric and still work as housing. Is it going to detract by being traditional? �This is a.busy intersection. Mr. Kondrick stated a rooftop terrace has walls that can be decorated and/or landscaped. The owners can plant trees. It is like another space that is their own that others do not know is there. Mr. Oquist stated, if��you create another space an the roof with depth, it then becomes 3 lj2 stories. Re is concerned about the height. We want to create something to bring the height down- with the appearance. Mr. Newman stated the terrace creates a private space.

Mr. Oquist stated the garages and entries are symmetrical. The garages are on the left and:the-entry on the right. He �. PLANNING COMMI6SION MEBTING, OCTOBER 5, 1994 PAGE 22 recommended alternating the design to break it up. � Mr. Newman stated he likes the garage's with individual doors. He also preferred the.garage openings with the angled corners. Ms. Modig stated, with the garages on the lower level, the floors are colder in the upstairs unless there is good insulation. Mr. Saba stated he also likes the individual doors with the angles. Mr. Carlson asked for conuaents about the materials. Mr. Saba stated they had talked at the Zast meeting about some kind of entry. If we could come up with something appealing, we continue that theme with the housing. .-..

DESIGN GUIDELINE G�ALS F�R THE SDUTHWEST QUADRANT/CITY OF FRIDLEY PLANNING COMMISSI�N PRI�RITIES: ► Develop a design pattern of compatibility between adjacent neighborhoods and with the character of the City. ► Foster quality site design and architectural design, detailing, and materials to promote initial sales and lasting home values. ► Promote pedestrian circulation, and public and semi- public spaces that foster neighborhood vitality and are unlikely to become security concerns. ► Create a strong sense of neighborhood and a unique image. ► Foster design flexibility between the Development Team and the City. - 1 - B. SITE PLAN: PERFORMANCE GOALS & GUIDELINES 1. Buildinq Sitinq/DensitY: ► The site plan shall include; 76-100 dwelling units, consisting tentatively of approximately 2/3 owner- occupied two story dwelling units, with the remaining 1/3 being single level owner-occupied.

The buffer strips will include a combination of undulating earthen berms, dense landscaping, retaining walls, screen walls, iron fencing, lighting and monument signs. The design of the buffer strips shall be prepared by a registered landscape architect, and are specifically intended to; 1.) define the edge of the residential development, 2.) reinforce the sense of neighborhood, 3.) enhance a sense of security and 4.) define carefully located visual corridors into the development and from the development. The purpose of the buffer strips is not to create a continuous wall or barrier within which the residential neighborhood is confined, but rather to create a well designed and landscaped transition to ameliorate the effects of adjoining heavily traveled roads, and night lights predominantly west, north, and east of the site. O�en Space • ► Establish strong sense of neighborhood through architecture, landscape design and the incorporation of open space for common and private use. ► To further augment a sense of neighborhood, north/south and east/west landscaped lineal greenways shall be incorporated in the site plan. These greenways shall accommodate common walking paths and will extend from the interior of the development to the intersection of Mississippi and University, existing sidewalks, bus shelter and landscaped entries to the subject development. ► A high priority shall be placed on efforts to incorporate open space between and around dwelling unit clusters.

Setbacks-* ► No dwelling unit shall be closer than 25 feet to a public right-of-way, 20 feet to a interior driveway/road; the minimum sideyard spacing between principal structures shall be 24 feet. ► With the exception of a parking stall in front of the garage, no parking shall be closer to a dwelling unit than 20 feet or 15 feet from an interior property line. 7. Parkinq•* ► A minimum of 2.5 parking spaces per dwelling unit will be required with a minimum of 1 attached garage space per dwelling unit. 8. Site Amenities: ► Entrance monuments will be required at the south and north entrance, and at the northeast entry from the intersection of Mississippi and University. ► Groupings of mailboxes shall be strategically located and consist of a single architecturally integrated design. ' ► Thoughtful consideration will be given to the placement of common use yard furnishings, sculptures, focal points and gardens. 9. Finishes:* ► All driveways and parking surfaces will be bituminous with poured in place concrete curbing. ► Pedestrian pathway surfaces shall be coordinated with existing city walkway surfaces. - 4 - 10.

Community Development Department HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY City of Fridley DATE: October 20, 1994 � TO: William Burns, Executive Director of the HRA,�A� FROM: SUBJECT: Background Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director .. Review Options Regarding Apartments Along Satellite Lane At the joint City Council and Housing & Redevelopment Authority meeting of August 22, 1994, the following information was requested regarding the apartments along Satellite Lane: 1. It was suggested that rehabilitation options be evaluated instead of acquiring and demolishing all of the four apartment buildings along Satellite�Lane. 2. It was also�suggested to find out what developers would do with or without the additional acreage. In response to the first item, staff has developed five options as a means for discussing the final determination of the apartments along Satellite Lane. Secondly, we have verbally spoken with interested developers about the additional�four acres, and we have also solicited responses to the Request for Qualifications (to be discussed later in the agenda). Five Options Although there are probably more options than the five staff is suggesting for consideration, the five represent a continuum of cost, risk, and control in redeveloping the area now occupied by the four apartment buildings. A matrix has been developed to define each of the options, identify the City's role, identify strengths and weaknesses of each option, and to provide an indication of the level of cost; risk, and control for each of the options (Attachment �1j. Assisting us in the development of this matrix were representatives from Springsted, Inc., Publicorp, and Miller- Schroeder Financial. Representatives from each of these { Apartments A1ong Satellite Lane October 20, 1994 Page 2 companies will be in attendance on Monday night to act as a resource panel for the City Council and HRA. Each of them will be speaking about various aspects of the matrix and their experience. Sid Inman from Publicorp was very involved in the Brooklyn Park rehabilitation projects (Option #3). Cathy Aho from Springsted is very familiar with essential function bonds and low income housing tax credits which are options to be considered if the apartment units are to remain (Option #4). Finally, Jay Jensen from Miller-Schroeder Financial has experience in all of these options and, as you know, has had significant public sector experience in his former position as the Minneapolis Community Development Agency Executive Director. Developer Reaction After the August joint meeting, I contacted Rottlund Homes and Jim Winkels from Belaire Construction (two of the responders on the RFQ process). Each of them indicated that addition of the four acres would increase the project size to enable them to construct additional units. Addition of the four acres may not dictate a significant increase of unit value beyond $120,000; however, the additional land area provides more site design flexibility, permits a better connection to the existing neighborhood, and eliminates a potential negative influence on the new development. Expected Outcome A bulk of the meeting has been reserved to review the five options and to provide an informal discussion between the City Council, HRA, and the resource panel. It is hoped that the City Council and the HRA can give direction to staff as to which option should be pursued. Also attached are background memos about the apartments, a parking space analysis, and the comparison chart of redevelopment costs which was disaussed at the August meeting (Attachments �2 and #6). sD/dw M-94-637 a � W�x� a � H � O � O� � A � Q � t7 z H ��0�-7H R'iHE�R: Hac�.i�c�'' w �OCx�H a w Hw H aH�n H E-� H�] a�a W � H �7 H � W •� V� �z� � z � za� H O � x� G3 � z 0 H a O � � • � �� ro ro 3-1 � � N •r1 N N N ��1� N U ••i rti ••i id '� U � �,�� ]C .� � � i a3 � 41 N •.i 1� N '� N N � tf1 .� � N NA U N RS+� � � � � � � � ��03•�� f-+ � O r+ •.�i ro� -� •-.�-•�i �rtb+'C3�� LL�CON� t� •1-I Rf N S-i S-r I R? 3-t N I�O� II •.� w •.i �r+o� a.�s�o N�t�'� a� � •. ro ai � •� N � U O 0+••1 � os,�.1ro a� a� •.� -.� � .A � 'CJ .R N �� N rd � d N LL A 3� t� s� w� � � � N RJ J� W � �� >'� b+0-•�-1 f1� S.� O S-i ,Q N a��o ro+> w � a.� m �bro�c°� �� b N �o � � d � n°�� O .,� � .,., � •,� w � A �� .,� Sa O O 'C!

Specifically he requested that we compare the calls for service that were generated during the months of May, June and July of 1990 and compare it with calls for service for the same three month period in 1994. In addition to providing that comparison we selected another apartment complex that contained about the same number of units which is generally felt generates few police calls. That complex is 1200, 1230 and 1250 72n Ave. It contains 75 units while Cherry Wood Apartments contains 76. Below is a breal�down of the comparison. Note that the total calls includes more then the totals of the other three columns. That is because I only chose:three disturbance types of calls to highlight. The total figure contains all calls, medical, thefts, found property, etc. Year 1990 1994 Total 65 � Cherry Aood � Assault 4 4 Disturbinq Domestics 13 2 24 � 6 72nd Ave. Apartments Year Total Assault_ Disturbinq Domestics 1990 11 0 1 0 1994 15 1 4 1 ATTACHMENT #2 I � � i DATE: TO: FROM: SUBJECT: �� Community Development Department PLANNING DIVISION City of Fridley June 30, 1994 William Burns, City Manager Pat Wolfe, Section 8 Housing Coordinator Satellite Lane Apartments Barbara Dacy requested that I inform you of the conditions of Cherrywood Apartments, 155, 175, and 195 Satellite Lane, and the two apartment buildings east of Cherrywood Apartments. I am very familiar with Cherrywood Apartments that are owned and managed by Lang-Nelson Associates. The apartments are one and two bedroom units. Over the years, there has been a considerable decline in�these units and the on-site management. Lang-Nelson appears to be reluctant to make improvements to the units and to their quality of management. I have talked to most of the on- site managers regarding upgrading the units. They have all . complained about how difficult it is to rent apartments due to the old appliances and carpeting and the lack of support from Lang-Nelson concerning upgracting the apartments. I have had several Section 8 clients move out of Cherrywood complaining about building.upkeep and problems with loud parties. Many have moved to River Road East Apartments where they receive more amenities for their rent; for example, security building, indoor pool, and stable on-site management. I anticipate Cherrywood Apartments continuing to decline based on the lack of upkeep and the building becoming outdated compared to neighboring communities that are building newer complexes. Cherrywood has lost good residents and replaced them with many problem residents due to their lack of screening and due to the older, outdated style of apartment complex. I have not been in the two buildings east of Cherrywood Apartments for several years. The conditions at that time were poor due to the apartments being outdated and poorly maintained. For at least six years, no Section 8 clients have requested assistance in these two buildings. I am assuming this is due to the availability of nicer apartment complexes. If you have any further questions concerning these buildings, please feel free to contact me at extension 597. PW:ls MEMO TO: WILLIAM W. BURNS, CRY MANAGER .�-� FROM: RICHARD H.

Community Development Department PL�NG D�SION City of Fridley DATE: October 21, 1993 � TO: t�"William Burns, City Manager„j� i�� FROM: SUBJECT: Background Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Ordinance Amendment to Require Gravel Driveways to be Paved The City Council. recently adopted an ordinance amendment which tied the "behavior" of park:ing cars to parking on hardsurface'driveways. During that discussion, the �City �Council directed staff to investigate.an amortization ordinance whereby owners of properties having a gravel or non-hardsurface driveway would be required to pave the driveway by an established date. Planning Commission Action The Planning Commission discussed this-issue at its September 8, 1993 meeting and also the September 22, 1993 meeting. The Planning Commission on a 3-2 vote recommended that the City Council pursue an ordinance which would�require that all non-hardsurface driveways become hardsurface driveways. The Commission members who voted in favor of the ordinance amendment agreed that it is important to require paved driveways. They agreed with the eight purposes of a hard surface driveway as proposed by staff (see attached). They also noted that other first-ring suburbs have addressed this issue. Roseville has recently required a five year amortization period for all owners to pave driveways. The Commissioners voting against the proposal were concerned about the financial impact on the property owners. While only 15 of the 337 property owners who have gravel driveways are considered "low income" (we checked the water billing records), the average cost of a driveway improvement can range from $875 - $1,250. Some households may not be able to afford the extra expense (see attached cost chart). The Commissioners thought that the money would be better spent on improvements to the home itself. The Commissioners thought it would be better enforced through the sale of a home or when a building permit is issued. 1� .. f Gravel Driveways October 21, 1993 Page 2 The Planning Commission also provided the following specific input for the City Council to consider when developing the ordinance amendment: A. What materials should be considered acceptable in meeting the hardsurface requirement? The Planning Commission recommended concrete, bituminous, brick, and concrete pavers (see article from newspaper regarding concrete pavers) as acceptable materials. B. How long should properties have to pave driveways? The Planning Commission recommended that the driveway be paved when one of the following instances occurs first: * Five years from the adoption of the ordinance * When the property is sold * When a permit is required from the City C. Should additional time be granted for property owners with driveways in excess of 50 feet? The Planning Commission recommended that it was not necessary to establish a different time frame. D. Should a hardsurface driveway to accessory structures in the rear yard be required? The Planning Commission recommended that the hardsurface requirement not be imposed if the secondary/accessory structures are used for storage facilities. E. ShQUld there be some type of assessment process? The Commission encourages the City Council to make the special assessment process available to homeowners, and to make every effort to include this improvement with other improvements in City programs for rehabilitation or repair. Staff Comments on Planning Commission Action Part of the Planning Commission recommendation includes a provision to require the driveway to be paved when the property is sold. Staff is concerned about this option because there are approximately 400 - 500 sales during a calendar year. An ordinance similar to the "truth-in-sale" appr�ach would have to be developed ' A Gravel Driveways October 21, 1993 Page 3 to require the driveway to be paved. Staff recommends that this provision be included in a truth-in-sale ordinance if the City Council and HRA choose to adopt one. This type of ordinance was scheduled for consideration in 1994. Creating an ordinance solely for paving the gravel driveway would be costly at this point if the City were to pursue a broader approach pertaining to the house itself in the near future. Paving a driveway is an acceptable expense under all of the City's current grant and loan programs. An additional allocation of funds toward this particular project would have to be considered by the HRA. Staff would recommend the HRA not allocate additional funds for paving driveways. We believe there are other projects such as multiple family rehabilitation programs which are higher in priority. Also, should the City Council decide to pursue the ordinance amendment, we would like to schedule ordinance consideration adoption for the first or second quarter of 1994 to enable us to finish other ordinance processes (nuisance abatement and wetland overlay). City Attorney's Opinion Also attached is an opinion from the City Attorney regarding whether or not the cost for paving driveways can be assessed. The Attorney states that the City does have the authority to contract with homeowners for the installation of the hardsurface driveway if it were to be determined in the ordinance that an unpaved driveway constitutes a public health or safety hazard, is a nuisance, or constitutes a hazardous condition. Summarv As evidenced by the close vote in t:�e Planning Commission motion, there are mixed feelings about proceeding with this ordinance amendment. Staff is ready to carry out and implement an ordinance if it is decided that it is necessary; however, the implementation of the ordinance will require a significant amount of effort, including notification of the 337 property owners, conducting at least two public hearings (one before the Planning Commission and one before the City Council), arranging for special assessment of properties who choose to be assessed, and inspection of the properties five years from the adoption of the ordinance to insure compliance. Should the City Council choose not to proceed with an ordinance amendment, staff will continue to enforce a policy which would A �1 Gravel Driveways October 21, 1993 Page 4 continue to allow the gravel driveway, however, cars must be parked on the driveway area and not scattered across the lot. Further, we will encourage homeowners to take advantage of the City's asphalt contract. We will also continue to require that driveways be hardsurfaced as part of special use permit, variance, or other requests. BD/dn M-93-618 RATIONALE FOR SARD3IIRFACE DRIVEAAYS ON RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES i. Promotes visual appeal and neat appearance of single- family properties. 2. Restricts vehicles to one area of the lot instead of allowing them to be scattered across the yard. 3. Eliminates the nuisance of gravel being sprayed on neighboring yards and avoids unsightly ruts and ditches. 4. Eliminates problems created by blowing dust. 5. Protects soil from contamination due to oil and other vehicles fluids. 6. 5erves to maintain and increase property values by promoting a more attractive appearance. 7. Reduces maintenance costs incurred when ruts are "evened out" or gravel is replaced. 8. Promotes parking requirements consistent with that of other zoning districts. d City Contract � . :, ,.

To see what other communities have done about this issue, I called the following first-ring suburbs: Columbia Heights Columbia Heights started the process in 1989. They ended up requiring just two 9' by 20' paved pads (per single-family house, evidently), or one paved pad per rental unit. They are again thinking about requiring paved driveways, but will give residents five years to conform. The city eouncil is receptive to the idea, but must formally approve. The main problem with unpaved drives has been washout into the streets and storm sewers. From 25-50% of the residences have unpaved drives or parking areas (which includes garages). CrYstal The city council passed an ordinance requiring each resident to pave his driveway, especially if the driveway is new. It is an informal policy that those with an unpaved driveway may keep it so, unless: . 1) 2) They make a modification that requires a permit (anv modification, any permit), or There are documented cases of runoff or other problems. Hardsurface Parking September 2, 1993 Page 2 Washout was the main justification for requiring people to pave. Some have complained, but no one has gone so far as to demand that the council repeal the ordinance. New Brighton In 1988 New Brighton passed an ordinance to require all new or modified driveways to have a hard surface (concrete or asphalt). The ordinance is not retroactive. The main justifications for the ordinance were dust and appearance. Richfield � The council recently passed a resolution that requires all new driveways to be paved; however, existing unpaved driveways will be permitted. The planning commission is looking at making the resolution retroactive. Richfield has only about 30 gravel driveways, so it is not so pressing a problem as it is in Fridley. Richfield is having a larger problem with people paving their whole front yards. They are now concentrating on an ordinance to combat over-paving. Robbinsdale Robbinsdale requires materials that control dust (gravel counts-- grass does not). New driveways must be paved. Roseville The city council passed a five-year plan to get all owners to pave. The public reaction has been generally positive because of the good rates provided by the contractor, who is doing the streets at the same time. The Roseville staff inember knew neither the number of gravel driveways in Roseville nor the council's justification for adopting the ordinance. Saint Louis Park Parking areas intended for three or more cars must be paved. The main problems with unpaved driveways are dust and washout onto public streets. M-93-482 .,� �Y.

IIPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DSCLARED THE MOTION CARRIED. Ms. Dacy stated that at the last meeting, the Coinmission discussed this subject and asked staff to research four or five areas. Staff now has the results of� that research. Staff would like the Commission to continue discussion on this issue to see if the Commission is prepared to make a recommendation to the City Council. l. Assessment - The Commission wanted to know that if the City adopted an ordinance that required gravel � driveways to be paved, could the City do the work - � and assess the costs back to the property owners, the advantage being that the costs would be spread out over time, and the owners would not have to pay all the costs immediately. Ms. Dacy stated the Commission members had received by mail a copy of the City Attorney's response to this issue. In his memo, Mr. Herrick said it is possible if, when the City adopts the ordinance, it finds a gravel driveway to be either a safety hazard, nuisance, or a hazardous condition. Mr. Herrick listed under a variety of statutes how the City could assess the property owners in terms of how many payments and what percentage rate. This is good news in terms of the property owners who might.be affected by this ordinance. � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. SEPTEMBER 22. 1993 PAGE 5 2. Income information for the 350 properties that would be affected Ms. Dacy�stated that Ms. McPherson worked with the Finance Department and determined that 15 out of the 350 households who have gravel driveways are eligible for the low income utility rate program. 3. Drivewav definition, what constitutes a hard surface drivewav? Ms. Dacy stated Mr. Barg called Columbia Heights, Crystal, and Roseville. These cities are very definitive. Concrete or asphalt are the only acceptable materials allowed by those cities. In the City of Fridley's code, it is defined as "concrete, blacktop, or other hard surface material approved by the City". �4. Financial assistance - Ms. Dacy stated she has not had an opportunity to discuss this directly with the HRA, but�she did discuss this with Grant Fernelius, the Housing Coordinator. If a person who owned a gravel driveway applied for one of the HRA-sponsored grants or loans, paving the driveway would be an eligible expense under the program. The assessment option proposed by the City Attorney also helps the financial burden. The HRA would have to deeide how to expend.monies on this particular project. Staff identified two options: a. The HRA could choose only to assist th� low income seniors (15 families) and pay for all the costs;�or b. If there is the question of fairness, the HRA could develop a policy that paid for a portion of the costs for all the property owners. The estimated price tag for the first option is $20,000. If they assist everyone, the cost would be about $75,000. Ms. Dacy stated that it would be difficult for staff to recommend that the HRA pay that amount of money when they are scrounging for dollars to do other things that may have more of a public purpose than paving driveways. L �-. t _ �; ., PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING. BEPTEMBER 22, 1993 PAGB 6 Ms. Dacy stated there are two important questions the Commission must address: 1. Does the Commission want to pursue an ordinance amendment which would require property owners without hard surface parking areas to provide paved driveways? 2. If the answer to the above question is "yes", the following issues should be addressed: a. � c. What materials should be considered acceptable in meeting the hard surface requirement? How long should property owners have to pave driveways? Should additional time be granted for property owners with driveways in excess of 50 feet? Mr. Newman stated staff has done a very good job in addressing the issues. Now the Commission has to address the first question: Do they want to have an ordinance that would require people with gravel driveways to hard surface those driveways? Mr. Saba stated he liked the idea of requiring gravel driveways to be hard surfaced, but the definition of "hard surface" should be broadened somewhat. However, he would not want to require people to have hard surface driveways to accessory structures in the rear yard that are used for storage only and not for vehicle use_ Mr. Oguist stated he has mixed emotions. He is in favor of hard surface driveways, but he is against the hardship that it will put on some people. The Commission really needs to take that into consideration. Staff has determined that there are about 15 low income property owners who would be affected, but there are other people who are not necessarily low income who are living on the edge and are going to be affected as well. To force them to pay an average of $1,000 for a hard surface driveway could be a real hardship. Mr. Oguist stated he believed they need to first define "hard surface". Brick and concrete pavers can look much better than asphalt. Ms. Modig stated that the eight reasons for hard surface driveways prepared by staff are very good, but she also has a problem with the cost they will be forcing people to pay for these driveways. There are a lot ot people who are not :; _ PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. SEPTEMBER 22, 1993 PAGE 7 low income who are on the edge and another $1,000 is a lot of money. She did not know if the City has the right to dictate this kind of thing. It might be better to enforce the hard surface driveway requirement at the time of sale or when the property changes hands. She is not sure what to recommend. Ms. Savage stated she believed it is a good idea to require gravel driveways to be hard surfaced. When you live in a community, you have to conform to a lot of requirements for the general betterment of the community. She understood the concerns expressed by the other Commission members and the financial burden on the property owners, and the City should do anything it can to help ease that burden. One way is through some type of assistance. It is a fairly minimal amount of people in terms of the total population of Fridley. She alsa has no problem in giving people time to put in hard surface driveways, but she did think it is a good plan and is for the betterment of the City. Mr. Newman stated he is concerned about the fi.nancial impact on the property owners and also concerned that_the $1,000 might better� be used to enhance their properties in other ways. He could not help thinking that if they had a room full of property owners asking why the Commission was recommending an ordinance that would force them to blacktop their driveways and why the Commission feels this is an appropriate expenditure of $1,000, he would have a hard time justifying that. In some cases, that $1,000 could better be used to replace a new roof or put on a fresh coat of paint. Even though the hard surface driveways would have some aesthetic benefit, he would oppose an ordinance for the reasons he has stated. . Ms. Modig stated it is rather unfair when this is not new construction. Many of these people have been living in their homes for many years without hard surface driveways, and many of them purchased these homes without hard surface driveways. She is not so concerned about the low income property owners, because they can get assistance through various programs. She is concerned about the people who do not meet the criteria for low income but are close to low income and the City is telling them they have a certain amount of time to conform to an ordinance that is basically visual. She would rather see this hard surface requirement handled through the sale of the home or when a building permit is issued. Mr. Newman stated he was not sure if the City Attorney's memo addressed some type of assessment plan where property owners could pay for an improvement through an easy installment plan. Staff might want to explore this as it might be another avenue for those people who want to put in hard surface driveways. . ��' PLANNING COMMISSION MSETING. SEPTEMBER 22, 1993 PAG$ 8 Mr. Saba stated that the City sends out letters every year to those property owners who do not have hard surface driveways Ietting them know of the rates if they want to hard surface their driveways during City street projects. Maybe, this should be publicized more and promoted a little heavier. Maybe the City could follow up on these letters with a telephone call. Mr. Oquist stated there are some people who just do not care whether their driveway is hard surface or not. � Ms. Dacy stated that is true, but staff could certainly advertise a little more. Mr. Newman asked the Commission if they wanted to recommend to City Council an ordinance amendment requiring property owners without hard surface parking areas to provide paved driveways. MOTION by Ms. Savage, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to recommend to City Council that the City retroactively require that all non- hard surface driveways become hard surface driveways. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, NEWMAN AND MODIG VOTING NAY, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED.THE MOTION CARRIED �Y A VOTE OF 3-2. Mr. Newman stated the Commission must now address the other questions. They should also include the question raised by Mr. Saba about whether or not to require a hard surface driveway to accessory structures in the rear yard and the issue of some type of assessment process. a. What materials should be considered acceptable in meeting the hard surface requirement? Mr. Oquist stated he believed the acceptable materials for hard surface should be cement, asphalt, brick, or concrete pavers. The Commission members agreed that the acceptable hard surface materials should be limited to cement, asphalt, brick, and concrete pavers. b. How long should property owners have to pave driveways? Mr. Saba suggested a requirement where a hard surface driveway must be installed whenever the house is sold or the title transfers. Ms . Dacy stated the problem with the on-sale issue is it would mean another inspection requirement that staff would have to try to track, and there are 400-500 sales per year. � .. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1993 PAGg 9 Ms. Dacy stated staff is going to be evaluating a truth-in- sale ordinance, and they could add a requirement for hard surface driveway at that time. Mr. Newman suggested that the City take the current ordinance which requires a hard surface driveway and file it against the 350 properties. Then, when the property owner sells his/her home, the buyer is going to know he/she has to conform to the ordinance and that a hard surface driveway is required. That will ensure, in some respects, an automatic enforcement, and the City can do the followup. It will be a lot cheaper than an inspection. . Ms. Dacy stated that the problem is that each filing costs about $20 which would mean about $6,000 which is not in the budget. Mr. Newman stated the City might have some problems with amortization if subsequent buyers are not made aware of the hard surface requirement. He stated that $20 per fiiing or approximately $6,000 might be nothing compared to the cost of legal fees five years from now to enforce any amortization. Mr. Oquist stated the hard surface requirement is already in the ordinance. He suggested the hard surface requirement be contingent upon the foilowing requirements, whichever comes first: (1) a time period such as fiye years {2) the sale of the property (3) when a permit is requested from the City such as a building permit or special use permit c. Should additional time be qranted for property owners with driveways in excess of 50 feet? Mr. Oquist stated the whole idea is to clean up pz-operties, so he would say "no" to this question. d. Should a ha�rd surface driveway to accessory structures in the rear yard be required? Mr. Saba stated he would not want to see this requirement for accessory structures that are used for storage. Mr. Oquist stated that if a hard surface driveway to an accessory structure in the rear yard is required, it can be handled with a stipulation on the special use permit. �, _ �, ,• PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING SBPTEMBER 22 1993 PAGE 10 e. Should there be some type of assessment process? Mr. Saba stated the City should make every effort to contact these property owners and encourage them to take advantage of the City's contractors for installing hard surface driveways. Mr. Oquist stated he believed there should be some type of assistance, not only for low income property owners, but also some type of assessment process where property owners can be assessed for the cost and pay it over a�longer period of time. MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Saba, to summarize the consensus of the Planning Commission regarding the hard surface driveway requirement as follows: a. Ahat materials should be considered acceptable i.n meeting the hard surface requirement? Concrete, bituminous, brick, concrete pavers b. How long should property owners have to pave driveways? Whichever comes first: • Five years from the adoption of an ordinance; • When the property is sold; • When a permit is required from the City c. Should additional time be granted for property owners with driveways in excess of 50 feet? No _ d. Should a hard surface driveway to accessory structures in the rear yard be required? The City will exclude from this ordinance any secondary storage facilities that are not used for vehicular storage. e. Should there be some type of assessment process? The Commission encourages the City Council to make use of the special assessment process for payment of this improvement and to make every effort to include this improvement with other improvements in City programs for rehabilitation or repair. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER 22, 1993 PAGE 11 Mr. Newman stated he will vote against the motior� because of the costs, not the least of which would be iegal fees, in trying to enforce the hard surface driveway requirement.

PRIBYL, FINANCE DIRECTOR SUBJECT: FEE INCREASES DATE: October 21, 1993 Attached are copies of a worksheet that originated from Publicorp's workpapers. I have summarized on the attached pages the fees that should be increased in the near future. As you will recall, these fees have gone through two reviews; as part of the original study, the Department Managers reviewed and made recommendations and the final review you and I had with each Department Manager. I have provided the attachment that identifies the proposed increases in fees. For each fee it identifies the existing fee, the fee recommended through the study, and also the fee that staff is recommending for approval. You will also notice in the nght hand margin that there are a number of fees that will need separate legislation or further review. The fees associated with these items will go to Council as the new or revised legislation is drafted. The legislation for all Chapter 11 fee increases can be accomplished in a short tune frame. All the items identified as administrative could be invoked with your concurrence. Staff is currently assembling the information for the Amusement Center License and the Coin Operated Device License. The Community Development Deparhnent, as this letter is being written, is reviewing the new UBC to determine the appropriate increases for each of the building code sections.

FROM: SUBJECT: HISTORY Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Michele McPherson, Planning Assistant Adoption of O-4, Wetland Overlay Ordinance In 1991, the Minnesota legislature passed the Wetland Conservation Act. The purpose of the Act was to protect wetlands which were not regulated by the'Arm�r Corps of E�igineers or the• Department of Natural Resources (please see attachment entitled "Wetland Players"). The goal of the legislation was to have no net loss of wetlands. During the 1993 legislative session, minor chanqes were made to the law and its administrative rules. Local government units are required to adopt the penaanent program and an ordinance by January l, 1994. WETLAND STUDY The City hired a consul.tant to prepare an inventory of all wetlands to determine the impact of the new law on Fridley. The proposal submitted by Westwood Engineering and Peterson Consulting was chosen from four submitted proposals. A detailed description vf each wetland was included as part of the inventory. The wetlands were delineated using the Circular 39 document developed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Army Corps of Engineers, as well as the Cowardin classification system. The administrative rules require use of the Cowardin classification system for determining replacement wetlands. Fifty nine wetlands were identified within the City (please see attachment entitled "Wetland Analysis Summary"). Of the 59 wetlands,.36 are located in the Rice Creek Watershed District, 23 are located within the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization. For those 23 wetlands located in the Six Cities Watershed area, the City as the designated "local government unit" will be required to administer the Act. Adoption of O-4, Wetland Overlay Ordinance October 21, 1993 Page 2 LOCAL ORDINANCE ADOPTION Purpose The purpose of adopting the O-4 wetland overlay ordinance is four- fold: 1. To comply with the requirements of the Wetland Conservation Act. 2. To clearly designate on the zoning map the location of regulated wetlands. 3. To clearly define the responsibilities of both the petitioner and the City regarding administration of the Act. 4. To define the process for development within and around wetlands. Components t 1 r � Prior to developing a property which contains a wetland, a series of questions must be asked to determine which components of the Act, if any, is to be enforced. A flow chart describing the actions in response to the questions is attached. If the wetland will not be altered or affected in any way, the development can occur as permitted by the zoning regulations. Only if the wetland � is affected will the Act be enforced. Seguencinq � Once it has been determined that the wetland will be affected, the Act requires a petitioner to demonstrate that he has followed the sequencing guidelines of the Act and that he cannot: i) avoid; 2) minimize; 3} rectify; 4) reduce; or 5) replace the impact to the wetland. This documentation is entitled "Sequencing". Replacement of a wetland is the last option a petitioner may pursue. Replacement Plans The Act defines the components of a replacement plan. The Act specifically requires land use inventories, descriptions of the altered wetland, the replacement wetland, and contains caiculations to determine replacement ratios. The calculations in the Act may require that the replacement ratio may be as high as 5:1. The minimum replacement ratio required by the Act is 2:1. Adoption of O-4, Wetland Overlay Ordinance October 21, 1993 Page 3 Technical Evaluation Panel The Act establishes a Technical Evaluation Panel which is composed of the local government unit engineer, a Soil and Water Conservation District officer, and a member of the Board of Water and Soil Resources. The Technical Evaluation Panel may be used to deteratine wetland type, size, public value, and location. The Technical Evaluation Panel may also review replacement plans submitted by petitioners. If the City develops a wetland management plan, the Technical Evaluation Panel may approve such plans which then eliminates the Technical Evaluation Panel from the wetland process. Maps The consultant is preparing maps of each wetland and a City-wide map. Unfortunately, they will not be ready for Monday's meeting. We will, however, bring key examples. ADOPTION PROCESS Staff has developed a proposed process to comply with the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act. Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the following activities: l. Prepare•the O-4 wetland overlay ordinance with the sequencing and replacement plan requirements from the Wetland Conservation Act. 2. Concurrently, inform the Board of Water and Soil Resources, the ,Rice Creek Watershed District, and the Six Cities Watershed Management organization of the results of the study submitted by Westwood and Peterson, and have them agree that the wetlands identified in the study are those wetlands which the City will regulate under the Act. 3. Submit the draft ordinance for discussion to the Environmental Quality and Energy Commission and Planning Commission on November 16 and November 17, 1993, respectively. 4. Conduct a public hearing of the ordinance at the Planning Commission on December 8, 1993. 5. Establish and conduct public hearings and approve the ordinance by the�City Counci2 in January and February, 1994. 6. During the first half of 1994, submit the ordinance and the study to the Technical Evaluation Panel for approval. s ' WETLAND PLAY8R8 * Federal: Army Corps of Engineers - Section 404 of the Clean Water Act Nationwide and Individual Permits * State: Department of Natural Resources - Type 3, 4, & 5 Wetlands 1991 Wetland Conservation Act * Regional: Rice Creek Watershed District Six Cities Watershed Management Organization * Local: Local Ordinances where applicable � 7 WETLAND ANALYSIS BIIMMARY Total Number of Wetland Basins = 59 47 basins were identified on the National Wetland Inventory map of 1982. 20 basins originally identified on the National Wetland Inventory map of 1982 no longer exist in the field. 21 basins < 21,780 square feet. 3 basins < 4,356 square feet. * These basins, if filled, would not need to meet the sequencing requirements of the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act. However, fills > 400 square feet would still require a replacement plan. 36 basins are located in the Rice Creek Watershed District. 23 basins are located in the Six Cities Watershed District. There are 9 Department of Natural Resources Protected waters, wetlands, or watercourses in the City of Fridley: Farr Lake Harris Pond Locke Lake Moore Lake Spring Lake Springbrook Wetland Mississippi River Springbrook Creek Rice Creek Al1 basins fall under the jurisdiction of the Army Corps of Engineers: 54 basins are eligible for Nationwide Permit 26. 5 basins require individual permits. � � '� tz 4.. � � N U N � � � .. �3 � a� .. cG U O y � c � m 3 0 a'"i � � � � n.

MEMORANDUM TO: William W. Burns, City Manager �� FROM: John G. Flora, Public Works D'uector DATE: October 11, 1993 SUBJECT: MSAS Streets PW93-390 Within our current designated MSAS system, we have identified a total of 8 segments for which we are requesting variances. This includes a variance for Matterhorn Drive, which is a concrete street 28 feet wide versus the 32 foot requirement, and seven right-of-way variances from 60 to 50 feet. We propose to submit these for the winter variance committee meeting to identify what is approved and what follow-up actions would be required. Within the designated streets, we have identified two projects which require overlays and these can be added into our 1994 program. Two streets, 68th and Alden Way, are of insufficientwidth. Two years ago we had proposed to reconstruct these streets but the residents would not support a petition. Accordingly, I would e�ect that neighborhood support to rebuild the streets at this time is not present. We have not received MN/DOT approval for the Riverview Terrace link. I would hope that we would obtain approval this year and then possibly address this street as a 1995 project with an attempt to construct it to the proper elevation to serve as a barrier to the Mississippi flood event. Accordingly, we do not have any major MSAS conshvction noted for 1994. We have identified about 11/z miles of City streets that are in need of reconstruction and may be considered by City Council: Hickory Drive, Hackman Circle, Haclanan Avenue, Tennison. � . �. t.- � f �' October 11, 1993 Page 2 These streets would amount to approximately $300,000 and could be accomplished from our street maintenance funds if the Council so directs. Since the cost of concrete curb is going up, I would suggest that for 1994, if the streets are to be reconstructed with concrete curb and gutter and we determine to establish a maximum cost, we address $9 as the maximum for concrete curb and gutter on these residential streets. Kerry Lane is a concrete street and has experienced considerable deterioration because of the poor soil conditions and the slope that it is constructed on. I would expect to address Kerry Lane in conjunction with a review of concrete streets that we are completing this year for a separate concrete street maintenance project Based upon this information, request Council direction on if a 1994 street reconstruction program is to be initiated, and if so, what streets and what funding would be appropriate for planning purposes. This information is necessary early on so that we may obta.in survey data this fall. JGF:cz �. � M MEMORANDUM TO: John G. Flora, Public Works Director PW93-381 FROM: Scott Erickson, Asst Public Works Directora� DATE: October 7, 1993 SUBJECT: Status of State Aid Streets/City Streets Requiring Reconstruction We have evaluated the status of the Municipal State Aid street system and have generated the attaehed list of streets that require design modifications and a list of segments that require variances. The design modi�cations are typically u►idening the street to a 32-fooY width. Additional modifications or variances may be required for vertical and horizontal curves on some of these sections. We would have to evaluate these after the streets are surveyed. The variances mostly pertain to the existing right-of-way being less than the required 60 feet We will submit these at the ne� variance meeting. We have also attached a list of City streets which are in need of reconstruction. If Council would like to begin reconstruction of City streets, the attached list would be the recommended place to start. Please advise as to which streets should be surveyed for the 1994 street reconstruction program.

F1ora,�Public Works Director DATE: October 20, 1993 SUBJECT: Rice Creek Road Pond PW93-407 Associated with the 64th Avenue storm water assessment project is the construction of a detention pond on the City owned properties off of Rice Creek Road. It is proposed to construct a pond of approximately 1-acre of storage which will more than serve the anticipated flows from the area north of Mississippi Stree� This volume of water is defined as a third of an acre. The pond will provide us additional storage to deal with the surface water from the area as well as flows from Harris Pond. The pond is proposed to be constructed in the rear of the first two lots of Rice Creek Road. The pond would be approximately 2 ft deep with sloping sides surrounded by a 10 ft buffer of the existing vegetation in the area. There has been some concem about the number of trees that would have to be removed associated with this pond construction. In an investigation of the pond area, we have identified approximately 77 trees in excess of 6 in. in diameter. These are all scrub type cottonwoods, willows and aspens that have developed in this wet area. The 10 ft buffer around the pond, as well as the front of the property, still retains over 130 trees in excess of 6-in. in diameter. These trees would serve to screen the pond as well as d'uninish the impact of the pond construction. An option is to.place the detention pond on the front of the two lots. This reduces the use of the existing ditch (wetland) in the pond area as well as eliminating any use or development of these two lots. There are about 53 trees in this area that would have to be removed. � , •. �.. , � , October 21, 1993 Page 2 As this work will require the Recreation Commission concurrence and the Rice Creek Watershed District's approval, we propose to remove this from the 64th storm water project phase II and advertise this pond as a separate project when all approvals have been received. Request the Council consider the Rice Creek Road pond location so that specific plans can be prepared and processed.

I also have some concern about the ability of Kenko to complete the final wear and the conditions of the final wear based upon an adverse temperature condition. Accordingly, I have written a letter to Kenko informing them of the New Brighton position and indicating our support to delay placement of the final wear course on the TCAAP streets until the spring of 1994.

Mr. Tony Bianconi 1694 91 st Ave N E Minneapolis, MN 55449 Subject: New Brighton/Fridley Interconnect Waterline, Project No. 248 Dear Mr. Bianconi: PW93-237 I have received a letter from Barr Engir�eering, representing the City of New Brighton, indicating their desire to defer placement of the wear course on the New Brighton streets associated with the TCAAP interconnect waterline project. I also have some concerns regarding the ability of Kenko to complete the total project within the timeframe established and the on-coming winter season. The cities of Fridley and New Brighton would not object to defer the final wear course on the streets associated with the TCAAP interconnect line until the spring of 1994. It is understood a base course of asphalt would be provided on a!! the streets and the boulevards and driveway approaches would all be completed. We also believe that any cost associated with raising the iron in the street would be a savings to Kenko as related to any possible failures that could occur by attempting to complete the wear course this winter. It is also understood that, depending upon the conditions in the next month, it may be possible to properly complete the total project, but only time will tell. Request your concurrence with this proposal. If you have any questions, please call me at 572- 3550. Sincerely yours, John G. Flora Director of Public Works JGF:cz / _ GlYOF FRIDLEY MEMORANDUM Municipai Center 6431 University Avenue N.E. Office of the City Manager Fridley, MN 55432 William W. Burns (612) 571-3450 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council �. FROM: William W. Burns, City Manager ��' DATE: October 21, 1993 SUBJECT: Citizen Survey The one remaining issue with respect to the citizen survey is whether or not we are going to do a telephone or mail survey. If we conduct a telephone survey, we would use a sample of 500 randomly selected citizens throughout the fourteen survey districts. We have been able to define the fourteen survey districts that were included in the last survey on the GIS system. Each household within each district has been identified, and we are able to use the information in the random selection process. If we conduct a mail survey, we would use a sample of approximately 3,000 randomly selected citizens from the voter registration list. With a mail survey, there would also be a sub-sample of 400 randomly selected citizens who would receive up to three call backs if they had not returned the survey within a certain period of time. Obviously, the telephone survey is probably more statistically valid. On the other hand, the mail survey would undoubtedly have a more favorable public relations impact. Both surveys will cost approximately the same amount of money. I would also like to add that we are also planning to do customer surveys. For example, I know Barbara Dacy is preparing customer surveys for building inspection customers, Section 8 housing clientele, land use action customers, and housing rehabilitation customers. I expect that similar customer surveys will be prepared and distributed in other departments. Thank you once again for considering the citizen survey issue. I�i�1�i�/c3i�
