PUBLIC HEARING ON THE PROPOSED TRANSFER OF CONTROL OF CATV OPERATIONS IN FRIDLEY �CONTINUED FROM APRIL 24 1995)• MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and reopen the public hearing. Seconded by Council- woman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing reopened at 7:52 p.m. Mr. Moravetz, Cable Coordinator for the City, stated that this pro- posed transfer of cable operations will be from KBLCOM, a division of Houston Industries, to Time Warner, Inc. He introduced Mr. Brian Grogan of the law firm of Moss & Barnett, who is repre- senting the City in this transfer, and Mr. Mark Hammerstrom of Paragon Cable. Mr. Grogan stated that when reviewing the proposed transfer under state and federal laws, the City has to look at the legal, tech- nical, and financial qualifications of Time Warner, Inc. He stated that he is currently preparing a report for the Cable Commission. The Commission would then submit a recommendation to the Council for the June 12 Council meeting. He stated, at that time, the Council will receive a detailed written report, and he would address any questions. Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Grogan if he has received the infor- mation he was seeking. Mr. Grogan stated that he has received a response to his request, but he still needs some clarification from Time Warner. SPECIAL FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 15 1995 PAGE 5 Councilman Schneider stated that there is a technical issue he wished to address. He asked if it should be discussed as part of the transfer. Mr. Grogan stated that Council is to review the legal, technical, and financial issues. He stated that what would not be appropriate is to seek some change in the franchise. Councilman Schneider stated that in regard to the technical issue, there is a consistent interference problem on Channel 2, and he would like to know if this is being addressed. Mr. Grogan stated that he would follow-up on this issue and include a written finding. Mr. Hammerstrom, Director of Paragon Operations, stated that the problem with the interference on Channel�2 is electrical in nature and is one of the hardest to solve. He stated that a fiber optic line will be completed possibly in the next week which should alleviate this problem. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she has a new VCR plus but cann4t program the channels into the actual cable box. Mr. Hammerstrom stated that he would contact Councilwoman Jorgenson regarding this problem, because this should be able to be done. Mayor Nee asked about cable competition and if this would keep prices down for cable service. He stated that Congress took away any influence the Council may have on pricing. Mr. Hammerstrom stated that the cable company is presently regula- ted by Congress in terms of what they can charge. He stated that some cities regulate the base service rates but Fridley does not. He stated that the rates have not changed since KBLCOM acquired the system. He stated that they are experiencing competitive pressures. He stated that in the cable area, there are now custo- mers subscribing to the microwave system operating off the IDS building. He stated that cable television still continues to be a very good bargain. He stated that their greatest concern is not so much from the wireless competitors, as from the wire competitors. He stated that in the long run, competition is healthy for everyone, but they want to make sure that they can compete. Mr. Grogan stated that Council has 120 days to take action on this transfer request, and that deadline is June 21. He stated that it does not matter whether or not this public hearing is closed or continued, but the Council should be in a position to approve or deny this request at their June 12, 1995 meeting. SPECIAL FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 15, 1995 PAGE 6 MOTION by Councilman Schneider to continue this public hearing to the June 12, 1995 Council meeting. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. OLD BUSINESS• 10. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE RECODIFYING THE FRIDLEY�CITY CODE, CHAPTER 206, ENTITLED "BUILDING CODE." BY AMENDING SECTIONS 206.01.02. 206.01.03, 206.01.04, 206.03.01, 206.03.02, 206.05.01, 206.07.07 AND 206.10.04 (TABLED MAY 8, 1995 : Mayor Nee removed this item from the table. Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that Council is requested to approve the first reading of this ordinance to amend Chapter 206 of the City Code. She stated that this chapter esta- blishes the building code and other code standards for construction and alteration permits in the City. She stated it is recommended that the State Uniform Building Code fee schedule be adopted for building permits but a lesser fee be adopted for mechanical, plumbing, and electrical permits. Ms. Dacy stated that at the last meeting, Councilman Schneider requested a comparisan of the cost to administer the permits in relation to the fees charged. She stated that an analysis of eight different permits has been provided, and seven of the permits did not generate enough fees to cover the cost of the service provided. At this time, 8:16 p.m., Councilman Billings arrived at the meeting. Ms. Dacy stated that the City does not charge a plan check fee and, in cost comparisons with other communities, Fridley compares favorably on all types of permits. Councilman Schneider stated he has a problem in that the City is trying to encourage residents to improve their homes, and on the other hand, permit fees are increasing. He questioned why the fees are almost $3,000 for a residential building permit, as he felt it was exorbitant. Ms. Dacy stated that the permit fee for new single family homes was determined by evaluating all the employees involved and the amount of time spent for plan review, inspections, verifying setbacks, etc. She stated that higher fees are not recommended for mechanical and plumbing permits because when people usually remodel a residence, they are changing the heating or updating the kitchens or bathrooms. SPECiAL FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 15. 1995 PAGE 7 Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she did not feel that the permit fees would deter people from remodeling their homes. She felt that there are other issues, and the City could make it easier for them to remodel by providing inspections in the evening hours. Ms. Dacy stated that the City is now working on providing after hours inspections on Monday through Thursday until 8:00 p.m. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that not only is there an increase in the City's permit fee, but there is also a state surcharge. Councilman Schneider stated that it seems if the City is promoting rehabilitation, every extra cost can be a discouragement to the property owner. Ms. Dacy stated that possibly there could be a program where the City could waive or reduce fees, or another feature of the rehabi- litation or housing assistance program may be to subsidize building permit fees. She felt that any policy Council may wish to consider would be separate from this ordinance. Councilman Schneider asked when staff could evaluate such a program. Ms. Dacy stated that possibly information could be given to Council for the first meeting in June. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that as she understands, it may be in certain areas where Council wanted to encourage rehabilitation that the fees would be waived or reduced. MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading and approve the ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, Councilman Billings, Councilwoman Bolkcom, Councilwoman Jorgenson, and Mayor Nee voted in favor of the motion. Councilman Schneider voted against the motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried by a 4 to 1 vote. NEW BUSINESS: 21. VARIANCE REOUEST, VAR '#95-09 BY WILLIAM H AND NANCY L. WILES, TO REDUCE THE SIDE YARD SETBACK FROM 15 FEET TO 5 FEET; TO REDUCE THE PARKTNG SETBACK FROM THE PUBLIC RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM 2 0 FEET TO 0 FEET ; TO REDUCE THE HARDSURFACE SETBACK FROM ANY PROPERTY LINE FROM_5 FEET TO 0 FEET: TO REDUCE THE HARD- SURFACE SETBACK FROM THE MAIN BUILDING FROM 5 FEET TO 0 FEET• AND TO PERMIT A CANOPY TO ENCROACH INTO THE ADJACENT PROPERTY ALL IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE BUILDING GENERALLY LOCATED AT 7429 EAST RIVER ROAD N E (WARD 3)• Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a request for multiple variances for the A& W property on East River Road, south SPECIAL FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 15. 1995 PAGg 8 of Osborne Road. He stated that the variances are as follows: {1) to reduce the side yard building setback from 15 feet to 5 feet; (2) to reduce the parking setback from the public right-of-way from 20 feet to 0 feet; (3) to reduce the parking setback from any property line from 5 feet to 0 feet; (4) to reduce the parking set- back from the building from 5 feet to 0 feet; and (5) to reduce the required canopy setback in the side yard from 3 feet to 0 feet. He stated that the variances are needed in order to allow the re- construction of�the building from 29 feet by 46 feet to 39 by 46 feet. Mr. Hickok stated that the Appeals Commission reviewed this request and recommended approval of the side yard variance to reduce the setback from 15 feet to 5 feet, and the variance to reduce the parking setback from the public right-of-way from 20 feet to 8 feet. He stated that the Appeals Commission's recommendation to approve the variance to reduce the parking setback from any property line from 5 feet to 0 feet resulted in a tie vote, and the recommendation to deny the variance to reduce the parking setback from the building from 5 feet to 0 feet resulted in a tie vote. He stated that the Appeals Commission unanimously voted to deny the variance for the canopy�. Mr. Hickok stated that if Council approves these variances, staff is recommending six stipulations, which he outlined. Councilwoman Bolkcom asked what variances would be necessary if the present ioundation of the building was moved. Mr. Hickok stated that, conceivably, three of the variances could be eliminated if the existing foundation was removed. He stated that if the canopy was moved it may be possible to eliminate the side yard setback variance. He stated that, as he understands, it would be quite costly to relocate the canopy. He stated that movinq the canopy would involve the call stations which are indi- vidually wired extensive and electrical work would be necessary. Mayor Nee stated that if a person wishes to go from the Super- America station to A& W, they usually go around the back of the buildings. He asked if this access would be closed. Mr. Hickok stated that there is an existing 12 foot wide access, and it is requested that this be a standard driving width. Councilman Billings asked if it was in compliance with the code when the canopy was constructed. He questioned how it ended up on the adjacent property without any variance. Mr. Hickok stated that he honestiy cannot answer that question, but he is aware of an agreement between the two property owners that has been in effect for some time. He stated that the code does not allow for that encroachment of the canopy. I I BPECIAL FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL ME$TING OF MAY 15 1995 PAGE 9 Mr. Wiles, the petitioner, stated that the SuperAmerica property and A& W were under one ownership at one time. He stated that if they move the canopy, it wouZd be very expensive to get the wiring changed. Mr. Wiles stated that it would also be expensive to replace the basement. He stated that they wanted the addition to the building in order to move the refrigeration equipment from�the basement to. �he first floor. Councilman Billings stated that this request includes two five foot variances on the east side of the building where the ten foot addi- tion would be constructed. He stated that if the east wall of the building is left as is, both of the variances would not be needed. He asked Mr. Wiles if it would be feasible to add the ten foot addition to the south. Mr. Wiles stated that this is a possibility, but he has not dis- cussed it with his contractor. He stated that he would be willing to review that alternative. MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to table Variance Request, VAR #95-09, to the June 12, 1995 meeting and direct staff to work with the petitioner on another alternative for the addition. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. 12. VARIANCE RE4UEST, VAR #95-10 BY KENNETH MURPHY OF FRIDLEY ALANO SOCIETY, TO REDUCE THE PARKING SETBACK FROM ANY STREET RIGHT-OF-WAY FROM 20 FEET TO 10 FEET. TO ALLAW THE EXPANSION OF A PARKING LOT, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5925 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N. E. �WARD 1, : Mr. Hickok, Planing Coordinator, stated that this is a request by the Alano Society for a variance to construct additional parking north of their existing parking lot along University Avenue. He stated that the variance would reduce the setback from the front property line from the required 20 feet to 8.2 feet. Mr. Hickok stated that the Appeals Commission recommended approval of the variance with six stipulations, which he outlined. Councilman Bi2lings asked what stipulations are requirements of the code and would they be in effect whether or not a variance is needed? Mr. Hickok stated that Stipulation 1 is a requirement of the code; Stipulation 2 is essential because the surface area is changing; Stipulation 3 should have been done previously on the east end and preventing erosion is specific to this site plan; Stipulation 4 was specific to the site plan; Stipulation 5 is a requirement of the code on new construction and with expansion of the parking lot, SPECIAL FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 15. 1995 PAGE 10 additional landscaping is requested; and Stipulation 6 is typical with construction or parking lot projects. Councilman Billings stated that the variance is to reduce the parking setback from the street right-of-way from the required 20 feet to 8.2 feet. He stated that several year ago, when a variance was granted for the building, it was from 20 feet to 10 feet. Mr. Hickok stated that a variance was approved from 20 feet to 9 feet from the property line, but it is short of that footage. Councilman Billings asked how many parking stalls would be eliminated if the variance was not approved. Mr. Hickok stated that two parking stalls on the very west edge would be eliminated. Councilman Billings stated that after this facility was built, he and Barb Dacy, and an adjacent resident and representative of the Alano Society, met to discuss problems that were occurring in regard to lights shining in residents' windows. He stated that at that time, the Alano Society indicated that when they expanded the parking lot, traffic would come in from the north. Mr. Hickok stated that this was mentioned to the petitioner, and he indicated that that was not the plan at this time and would exceed their budget limitations. Mr. Hickok stated that the petitioner, Mr. Murphy, is present to answer any questions. Mr. Murphy, the petitioner,. stated that if the traffic came in from the north off of 60th Avenue where the driveway would probably be located, they would have to drive 240 feet to their building and 60 feet of fencing would need to be installed. He stated that this would cost about $18,000, and they would have to scrap the project. He stated that there is also a day care center at 60th Avenue. Mr. Murphy stated he was not aware that they needed a 25 foot wide driveway. He stated that they need to expand their parking, as the� are using parking at the adjacent printing shop. Mayor Nee stated that it seems their facility is creating somewhat of a nuisance in the neighborhood, and this has not been addressed by the Aiano Society. Mr. Murphy stated that there was a conflict with one neighbor, but since 1992 there have not been any nuisance calls. Councilman Billings stated that several businesses to the south received variances from the front yard setback primarily for SPECIAL FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MSBTING OF MAY 15. 1995 PAGE 11 parking. He stated that he cannot make a motion or vote on this issue because of a conflict of interest. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she would like feedback from the neighbors regarding extension of the driveway to the north. She stated that she has received calls regarding headlights shining into residents'�hoaies. She felt.that perhaps this item should be tabled, so that�residents are made aware that the driveway may be to the no�th. � Mr. Murphy stated that if they have to come in from the north, they probably will submit another plan. MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to table Variance Request, VAR #95-10, to the June 12, 1995 Council meeting. Seconded by Council- woman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, Councilwoman Jorgenson, Council- woman Bolkcom, Councilman Schneider, and Mayor Nee voted in favor of the motion. Councilman Billings abstained from voting on the motion. Mayor Nee declared the motion carried. 13. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS: Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that there were no informal status reports. SPECIAL MEETING OF THE FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL AND THE FRIDLEY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY: Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated that Council will now meet in a joint closed session with the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority to discuss threatened litigation that involves the proposed project in the southwest quadrant of University Avenue and Mississippi Street. He stated that after this closed portion of the meeting Council can move to adjourn. MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to close this portion of the mee- ting to enter into a closed joint session with the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority and attorneys regarding possible litigation on the proposed project in the southwest quadrant of University Avenue and Mississippi Street. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Councilman Billings stated that since Council is a public body and will be conducting a closed meeting to discuss possible litigation, the reason the State statute permits that meeting to be closed is so that the opposing side does not know of Council's plans. He asked if the minutes become public and under what circumstances at any point in time. Mr. Herrick stated that minutes are not required. He stated that the discussion between Council and the attorneys is confidential. SPECIAL FRIDLEY CITY COIINCIL MEETING OF MAY 15, 1995 PAGE 12 Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she understood that minutes were needed. Mr. Herrick stated that is not correct, but there is a special provision for labor negotiations where it is required that the meeting be taped. He stated that this does not apply to threatened litigation. Councilman Billings stated that the only item Council can discuss is this litigation. He stated that in terms of the closed session, it is the outcome of that litigation that would be public. Mr. Herrick stated that if documents are filed, they become public. UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and this portion of the special meeting closed at 9:40 p.m. The closed j oint meeting of the Council and the Housing and Redeve- lopment Authority began at 9:55 p.m. MOTION by Councilman Billings to direct staff to remove the south- west quadrant items from the May 22, 1995 Council agenda and notify the affected persons.

Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the Special Meeting of the Fridley City Council of May 15, 1995 adjourned at 12:18 a.m. Respectfully submitted, Carole Haddad William J.

If approved, the petitioner would sell the property for a new use. SifMMARY OF LSSUES: The subject parcel was rezoned from C-2, General Business to M-1, Light Industrial at RMS's request in 1990. In 1995, a lot area variance was requested to the minimum requirements of the M-1 District. The City Council tabled action on the variance request until the petitioner completed the rezoning process. The request meets the three criteria used to evaluate all rezoning requests: 1. The proposed use is compatible with the proposed zoning district. 2. The proposed district is compatible with the surrounding uses and zoning. 3. The proposed use meets the requirements of the proposed district. REC011��IlVVIENDED ACTIONS: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing. The recommended stipulations as condition of approval is: 1. The petitioner shall combine the parcels into one tax statement. PLANNING COMIVIISSION ACTION: The Planning Comcnission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the City Council as recommended by staff. 1 7.01 Petition For: Location of Property: Legal Description of Property: Size: Topography: Existing Vegetation: Egisting Zoning/Ptatting: Availability of Municipal Utilities: Vehicular Access: Pedestrian Access: Engineering Lssues: REZONING REQUEST 970 OSBORNE ROAD PROJECT DETAILS Rezon:7g from M- l, Light Industrial to G2, General Business. 970 Osborne Road, the parcel is "sandwiched" between Fridley Tire and Brake to the east (zoned C-2, General Business) and Premier Industries to the west (zoned M-1, Light Industrial). That part of the Northwest Quarter of the Northwest Quarter of Section 12, Township 30, Range 24, Anoka County, Minnesota, descdbed as follows: Commencing on the North line of the Northwest Quart�- of said Section 12, at a point 34 rods east of the Northwest corner of said Section 12, thence Fast on the section line 10 rods; thence South and parallel with the West line of said Section 12 16 rods; thence West parallel to the North line 10 rods; thence North to the poirrt of commencement; elccepting therefrom, however, the East 104 feet of the foregoing described parcel and subject to a public roadway over the North 33 feet thereof (Parcel A), and Ouflot 1, Nagel's Woodlands (Parcel B), and all the land, if any, lying East of Outlot 1, hereinabove noted as Parcel B, and west of the parcel of land hereinabove noted as Parcel A and lying between the Westerly extension of the North and South lines of that land hereinabove noted as Parcel A 23,000 square feet Mostly flat, slopes slightly to the west. Grass M-1, Light Industrial Available Osborne Road N/A Drainage 2 %.�2 Site Planning Issues: Parcel History July 26, 1962. 1988 June 13, 1988 Nov. 13, 1989 DEVELOPMENT SITE Nagel's Woodlands was platted. Outlot l, Nagel's Woodlands is a composite of what appears to be 3 small parcels. RMS purchased Outlot 1 which had an old house on the north-west portion of the lot, close to .Osborne Road. The home had been utilized as the bus.iness� i�cation for a hair _salon in previous years. A demolition pernut was issued to remove the home. A variance request was made by RMS Company to iria�ease lot coverage from 44% to 41.5%, reduce the hard surface setback from 5' to 3.5' in order to expand the existing building- Dec. 5, 1990 A rezoning request was processed and the rewning was passed. The action created an M-1 � parcel (from what had been a G2, General Business parcel, not the C-3 parc� as discussed at the February lOth mceting). RMS's plan was to utilize the additional M 1 prop�ty to increase the developable land area for building expansion The RMS development never occurred. Feb. 12, 1993 Premier Industries holds grand opening after purchasing the former RMS developm�t site (west of 970 Osborne Road, subject parcel). June 20, 1994 Staff coritacted RNLS regarding outdoor improvements required to utilize the site/garage for business purposes. The property improvements were to include: curbing, pavement repair, screening fence, siding repair to the garage and sod) Jan. 11, 1995 RMS/Equity Developers, Inc. applied for a variance to the minimum lot size to allow future development of the site for a multi-tenant building which would be occupied by a landscaping contractor. The petitioners had also indicated that a number of variances may be required to make their building fit as it had been proposed. A simple sketch plan missing many essential details had been submitted. Jan. 23, 1995 Staff contacted the developer to let them know that without the essentials plans, no building variance application could be processed. Staff indicated that once their plans were further developed a separate variance could be reviewed. February 1995 David Meyer, RMS indicated that without the building variance consid�atioq Equity Developers, Inc. did not want to pursue this site. Meyer indicated however, that since the process was started and the Appeals Commission had already rende�ed their re�omm�dation, he would like staff to proceed in the lot area variance process. March 6,1995 The City Council tabled action on the lot area variamce request as the petitioner chose to pursue a rezoning of the property back to G2, General Business. 3 7.03 Evaluation of the Rezoning Criteria Compatibility of the Proposed Use with the Proposed District With this request, atypical of most requests, staff is not reviewing a specific site plan. Any future use of the property under the G2 zoning would be required to comply with the pernutted or special uses outlined in Section 205.14 of the zoning code. Compatibility of the Proposed District with Adjacent Uses and Zoning The original rezoning request was approved based on a site plan including the subject parcel as part of a larger parcel to the west. RMS was intending to e�cpand the industrial use to the west, and the subject parcel would have been used for additional parking and green space. The property to the east is zoned C-2 and an automotive use is located on the property. The VFW, located east of the adjacer►t use was recently rezoned from M-1 to C-2 as well. Rezoning the subject parcel to C-2 would be compatible with the adjacent uses and zoning. The use of the subjact parcel as it is aurently zoned would be limited to a�nall industrial user not requiring expansion space due to the small size of the parcel. A lot area variance is also required in order to utilize the parcel. The other possible uses pernutted in the Light Industrial district fitting this site would be repair garages or automobile service stations. There are a number of similar uses located in this neighborhood. Rezoning the parcel to a commercia� designation would afford a wider variety of permitted uses on the site. Com liance of the Pro osed Use with the Pro sed District R uirements As staff does not have a specific proposal to evaluate, comment cannot be made regarding the compliance of any use with the proposed district requirements. The subject parcel does meet the minimum lot area requirements of the C-2 District. Any future use will be required to meet the requirements of the C-2 District. The Assessing Department has requested that the petitioner sign a combina.tion form to combine the three parcels into one tax parcel. Stipulations and Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Comrnission recommend approval of the rezoning request to the City Council with the following stipulation: 1. The petitioner shall combine the parcels into one tax pazcel.

Rezoning the parcel to a commercial designation would afford a wider variety of permitted uses on the site. Ms. McPherson stated the iast zoning criteria is complying with the proposed uses of the proposed district requirements. Because there was not a specific proposal to evaluate, Ms. McPherson could not comment on compliance with the district requirements. However, unlike the M-1 district requirements, rezoning this to parcel to C-2 would allow it to meet the minimum lot area requirements of the C-2 district. Any future use would be required to comply with the requirements of the C-2 district. Ms. McPherson stated that the Assessing Department has requested that the petitioner sign a form to combine the three parcels into one tax parcel.

If approved, the City would construct a 11,200 square foot municipal liquor warehouse. SI;fNIlVIARY OF LSSUES: The request meets the three criteria used to evaluate all rezoning requests: 1. The proposed use is compatible with the proposed zoning district. 2. The proposed district is compatible with the suirounding uses and zoning. 3. The proposed use meets the requirements of the proposed district. RECOlVIlV�NDED ACTIONS: Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing. A condition for approval of the request is the following stipulation: 1. The project shall comply with all the requirements of the G2, General Business District. PLANNING CONIlVIISSION ACTION The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the City Council as recommended by staff 1 8.01 Petition For: Location of Property: Legal Description of Property: � Size: Topography: Ezisting Vegetation: Existing Zoning/Platting: Availability of Manicipal Utilities: Vehicular Access: Pedestrian Access: Engineering Lssues: Site Planning Issues: Parcel History REZQNING REQUEST 73RD AND UNIVERSTTy AVENUES PR03ECT DETAILS Rezoning from M-2, Hea�y Industrial to C-2, General Business.

The parcel sits slightly lower than the sunounding roadways. Trees, tall grasses. M 2, Heavy Industrial Available East University Avenue Setvice Road N/A Drainage DEVELOPMENT SITE The subject parcel has been vacant since the incorporation of the City. In 1989, Phillips 66 Company filed a special use permit application to allow a gas station, convenience store, and car wash on the site. The City denied the application on the basis that the square footage of retail space excceded the 30% pernutted by the M 2 District. The City also received an informal request regarding use of the site for a bank, but a forn►al request was never receive�l. 2 8.�2 Wetland Issucs A wetland was identified on the parcel by the US Fish and wldlife Seivice in 1989. This wetland was indicated on the Service's National Wetland Inventory Map. Prior to the City pursuing a rezoning application for the parcel, the eactent of the wetland nceded to be det�mined. This would th� detern�ine if the project was feasible. The City hired Peterson Environmental Consulting to delineate the wetland and develop a mitigation plan to replace any impacted wetland in compliance with the 1991 Wefland Conservation and the Federal Clean Water Act. It was deternuned by the consultant that a wetland was not located on the parcel. The hydrology did not exist to meet the criteria in the 1989 wetland delineation manual. 1'he City proceeded with the rezoning request. Evaluation of the Rezoning Criteria Compatibility of the Proposed Use with the Proposed District The proposed use of the site is for a municipal liquor warehouse store. Liquor stores, selling package goods are a pernutted use the G2, General Business District. The use, therefore, is compah�ble with the proposed district. Compatibility of the Proposed District with Adjacent Uses and Zoning The proposed district, G2, General Business is compatible with adjacent uses and zoning. The su6ject parcel is a "loopback" parcel. A loopback parcel is one which is located between a service road and an adjacent roadway at an intersection. There are 19 loopback parcels located in the City; 13 are zoned C-2, General Business, regardless of the swrounding wning. The remaining 6 are wned R 2, Two Family Dweiling, C-3, General Shopping Center, and M 1, Light Indu�rial. The property to the west of the subject parcel is also zoned C-2 and is used for offices. The property to the east is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, however, many of the uses are warehouse-showrooms, and a large portion of the building is devoted to a medical office use. The property to the north is zoned residential, both single and two family, however, those properties are separated from the subject property by 73rd Avenue, which is a collector. The use of the subject parcel as it is aurently wned would be limited to a small industrial user not requiring e�ansion space due to the �nall � of the parcd. The othex possible uses permitted in the Heavy Industrial district fitting this site would be repair garages or automobile setvice stations. Rezoning the parcel to a commercial designation would afford a wider variety of permitted uses on the site. The land use plan in the Cit�'s Comprehensive Plan designates the subject parcel as commerciat. Com�liance of the Proposed Use with the Proposed District Requirements Setbacks The proposed site plan meets the minimum requirements of the C-2, General Business District requirements. No variances are required. Unlike the M 2, Heavy Industrial Dis�ict, the C-2 District dces not have additional setback restridions from the public right of way adjacent to a reside�rtial district, therfore, the building will be st� 35 fcet from the north and west prope�ty lines. T�e are 58 proposed parking stalls, 3 more than required by code. Access will be from the University Avenue Service Road via two driveways at the southern most portion of the site. The building is proposed to be 18 fcet tall. A six foot tall rockface block screenirig wall and eight foot high Black H'ills Spruce will screen the loading dock and dumpster area from the public right of way. Drainage The Engineering Department has designed the drainage plan to meet the requirements of the Six Cities Watershed Management Organization. 'The stormwater will be ponded on site and redeased into the stormwater system located in 73rd Avenue. 3 8.03 Landscaping The landscape plan complies with the requirements of the G2 District requirements. The number of trees required and provided are: REQUIRED 31 trees required (1 for every 50 feet of site perimeter) 25% reduction for large trces (3" caliper deciduous and 8' tall evergeens) 30% evergreen 2 ornamental trees equal one overstory 23 trees required after large tree credit PROFOSED � � 12 3" Red Oak 8 2" Snowdrift Crabapple 7 8' Black Hills Spruce 1Vfiscellaneous stuubs for screening purposes. A number of existing trees will be preseived in the southwest corner of the site. Building Materials The architect has provided two building material scenarios: Scenario A: Rocic face concxete block Metal architecaual d�ailing will be located at the northwest and northeast corners of the building. Approximately 50'�0 of the east face will be a similar metal material. Scenario B: 7umbo brick, which is larger than regular brick Metal architectural detailing will be located at the northwest and northeast corners of the building. A.pproximately 50% of the east face will be a similar metal material. The colors of the building are proposed to be tan block/brick with burgundy finish on the portions to be metal. The metal portions of the building will be factory finisherl. The building materials as proposed comply with the district requirements. Scenario B, because it includes brick, is consisterrt with the City's past preference to use brick as a major design element. A decision regarding the use of brick will need to be made by the City Council. Lighting The site will be lighted through the use of two 15' shoo-Uox style light standards. Building mounted, downcast lighting will also be used for security purposes. The lighting will be designed so as not to adversely impact the residential properiy to the north Signage Final deasons rega�-ding the signage have not be�.m made, however, the proposed sigas comply with the Sign Code requirements for the C-2 Dishicx. No freestanding signs aze cxurently proposed. Both individual letters and cabinet signs aze proposed (see elevations). Store Operation The proposed hours of operation for the store are 8:00 am to i 0:00 pm Monday through Saturday. Peak hours are from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm Monday through Thursday, 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm Friday, and 3:00 pm to 8:00 pm Saturday. Approximatdy 60-70 customers per hour aze exgected during the peak times. Deliveries 4 8.�� will occur on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, one delivery eac:� day, with two on Thursday. Peak shopping days are Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and New Year's Eve. Traf�ic Rezoning the parcel to a commercial designation will have an impact in terms of traffic. The C-2 District pernuts a wider variety of uses, including of�ces, banks, drive-thcu restaurants, gas station/convenience stores, and other retail facilities. A comparison of average daily trips follows: USE AVERAGE DAILY NUMBER OF � . TRIps TRUCKS . . Industrial (Manufacturing) 3.48/1000 sq.ft. building Industrial (Warehouse) 4.88/1000 sq.ft. building Restaurant (w/drive-thru) 632/1000 sq.ft. building Gas sta.tion/convenience 887/1000 sq.ft. building Bank 291/1000 sq.ft. building General Retail 51/1000 sq.ft. building � General Office 24/1000 sq.ft. building Liquor Store 485 total trips (based on 4 per week March counts) 580 total trips (based on July counts) The numbers quoted for the liquor store are based on current customer counts. Approximately 65% of the caurent caastom�' base is Fridley reside,nts. (kurent trips on University Avenue average 34,500 per day (1993 counts). Trips on 73rd Avenue average 10,000 per day. The probability of the County approving any type of control at the irne�section of 73rd Avenue and the East Service R�oad is low. There is adequate stacldng space on the Service Road for ve�icles waiting to enter 73rd Avenue. Customers leaving the site could also travel southbound to 69th Ave,nue to access University Avenue. Staff will observe caarrent traffi�c patterns during peak hours at both sites and report to the Planning Commission. See attached traffi�c study for more infonnatioa Stipulations and Recommendation Staff recommends that the Planning Corrunission recomme�d approval of the rezoning request to the City Council with the following stipulations: 1.

PAUL, MN 55110 612 490-2000 800 325-2055 ARCHiTECTURE • ENGINEERING • ENVIRONMENTAL • TRANSPORTATION RE: Fridley, Minnesota Municipal Liquor Warehouse Case No. ZOA95-02 SEH No. A-FRIDL9501.00 We have reviewed the site of the proposed liquor warehouse in the southeast corner of the intersection of University Avenue and 73rd Avenue. We utilized the traffic turning movement counts which you made on Monday, April 17, along with the staff report, counts obtained from Mn/DOT and our observation of traffic. Traffic Generation We previously projected trips from liquor stores as part of other studies. We anticipate that #here will be approximately 90 trips to and from the store (total) in the p.m. peak hour. This should represent the heaviest hour use of the store and, with the exception of special dates such as the Friday before the fishing opener and a few holidays, the 90 trips should not be exceeded. We anticipate that some of the traffic will come from the existing traffic on University Avenue, especially in the peak hour. Based on population, competition and traffic volumes, we anticipate that the volumes will be distributed 36% to the east, 32% to the south and 29% to the north. Very little traffic is anticipated to come from west of University Avenue. It is possible that the site could have other uses. The staff report gives some general information regarding other types of land use and their traffic generation. We have reviewed these on a p.m. peak hour basis and the attached table provides direct comparison. The table shows that the liquor warehouse will draw more traffic than a rnore passive use such as an office building or auto repair building. It will have substantially less peak hour traffic than a fast food restaurant, bank or convenience store. Traffic Impact Current traffic volumes on University Avenue are approximately 34,500 vehicles per day. 73rd Avenue just east of University Avenue has a volume of 10,000 vehicles per day. Volumes on the south frontage road are relatively small, consisting primarily of traffic generated in the retail establishments along the service road. With activities at Columbia Arena, the volumes would increase substantially, but only at times of major events. With entrances directly onto the service road, all of the liquor store traffic will be in addition to the existing traffic. We anticipate that some outbound southbound traffic will use the frontage road to 69th Avenue as a better alternate then make the two left turns to use 73rd Avenue and Universiry SHORT ELLIOTT HENDRICKSON INC. MINNEAPOLIS, MN ST. CLOUD, MN CHIPPEWA FALLS, WI MADISON, WI LAKE COUNTY, IN EQUAL OPP�'IJN�EMPLOYER Ms. Michele McPherson April 19, 1995 Page 2 Avenue. In addition, some of the northbound traffic stopping at the liquor warehouse will use 69th Avenue and the service road. The outbound traffic from the liquor.warehouse to the east will.make a right turn from the service . road onto 73rd Avenue. This will have litfle impact because of.the ope�a#ion of the traffic �signal at � University Avenue. Similarly, inbound from the east will find little problem in making the left turn. The outbound left turn from the liquor warehouse to 73rd Avenue will face delays at certain time periods. The traffic signal at University Avenue creates significant number of gaps in eastbound traffic. Westbound traffic is heaviest during exiting from the Northco Industrial Area and from the Unity Hospital shift changes. At most times, there are also westbound gaps allowing traffic from the frontage road to make a left turn onto 73rd Avenue. The only operational concern is the potential for westbound traffic on 73rd Avenue to back through the intersection of the frontage road. This occurred only once during your tliree hour traffic count on April 17. If this does occur, the northbound left turning traffic on the frontage road would probably wait until the traffic moves, clearing the intersection and then be able to enter 73rd Avenue. We do not anticipate any traffic from the liquor warehouse cutting through the neighborhood to the north. While some of the residents in that area may utilize the liquor warehouse, their trips would probably the only thru traffic going from Symphony Lane to the frontage road. The only access to the neighborhood is either at Symphony Lane or Jackson Street. If traffic has a difficult time making a left onto 73rd Avenue, they will have a similar problem in traveling straight through the intersection. If they did go into the neighborhood, they would have a very difficult time traveling through the neighborhood and then accessing Osborne Road. Some local traffic with a destination in the neighborhood may utilize Jackson Street to a final destination north of Osborne Road. This volume would be similar for a bank, convenience store or restaurant. The estimated increase in traffic volumes is shown on the table which is attached. This table shows in tabular form the number of turns in each direction on 73rd Avenue at the service road and at University Avenue. The volume increase is relatively small in number, but the biggest volume change in the northbound approach on the service road to 73rd Avenue. If you have any questions regarding the report or the information, please feel free to call me. I will be at the Planning Commission meeting on April 19.

PUBLIC HEARING, CONSIDERATION OF A REZONING REOUEST. ZOA #95-02 BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY: To rezone property from M-2, Heavy Industrial to C-2, General Business, to allow the construction of a new municipal liquor store on Tract A, Registered Lane Survey No. 78, generally located at 7299 University Avenue N.E. $.22 t ' i , ' PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 3 MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Sielaff to waive the reading and open the Public Hearing in consideration of a rezoning request, ZOA #95-02. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTIN(i AYE� CHAIRPSRSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED IINANIMOIISLY. Ms. McPherson stated this is a rezoning request by the City of Fridley to rezone a parcel of land located at the intersection of University Avenue and 73rd Avenue from M-2, Heavy Industrial to C-2, General Business. The surrounding zoning of the property includes M-2, Heavy Industrial to the east, C-2, General Business to the west, both north and.south of 73rd Avenue, R-2, Two Family Dwelling to the north, and also R-1, Single Family to the north. Ms. McPherson stated the purpose of the rezoning request, if approved, would be to construc� a 11,200 square foot municipal liquor store. Ms. McPherson stated that the parcel has been vacant since the incorporation of the City. In 1989, the City considered a Special Use Permit Request by Phillips 66 Company to allow a gas station/convenience store and car wash on the site. The City denied that request on the basis that the square footage of the retail space exceed�d that which was permitted in M-2 Industrial District. The City has also received various informal inquiries in regard to the parcel, although no formal development applications have been received. Ms. McPherson stated that in considering a rezoning request, staff reviews three criteria to evaluate the request: 1j the compatibility of the proposed use with the proposed district - the proposed district is C-2, General Business and liquor stozes selling packaged goods are a permitted use within a C-2 District; 2) the compatibility of the proposed district with adjacent uses ann zoning - the parcel is a loop-back parcel (it is located between a service road and a major thoroughfarej. There are 19 such parcels located in the City, 13 of which are 2oned C-2 General Business, reqardless of the surrounding zoning of adjacent parcels. There is additional C-2 zoning to the west and office uses located in those particular buildings. There is residential zoning to the north, both two family and single family, however there is a fairly large road (73rd Avenuej separating the residential uses from the subject parcel. The use of the parcel as it is currently zoned would be limited to small industrial user who would not require additional expansion area due to the small size of the parcel. The parcel is approximately 2.4 pLANNING COMMISSION MEETINQ. APRIL 19, 1995 PAQE 4 acres. Other possible uses under M-2 include repair garages or other automobile related uses. Rezoning the parcel to a commercial designation would afford a wider variety of uses to be permitted on the site. In 1980 when the City approved the Comprehensive Plan in accordance with the State planning statutes, the parcel was designated as Commercial in the City's comprehensive land use plan. 3) the compliance of the proposed use with the zoning district - these include a variety of items beginning with setbacks. The site has been designed to meet all building and parking setbacks - there are no variances being requested as part of this proposal. Unlike the M-2 district, this district does not require a 100 foot building setback from the right of way line across from the residential district, therefore the setback from the right of way line along both 73rd and University Avenues will be 35 feet. There are 58 proposed parking stalls, three more than what is required. The Engineering Department has designed a grading and drainage plan which complies with the Sixth Cities Watershed Management Organization. A landscape plan has also been designed by staff and complies with the minimum requirements of the C-2 district. Staff has worked with the architect to design a building which is consistent with City requirements of other developers. The building at this point is proposed to be a combination of masonry block and brick with some architectural detailing done in a pre- finished manufactured metal finish. The color is proposed to be tan and burgundy. The tan will be similar to the existing home business center located to the east of the subject parcel. Staff has not made a determination regarding signage, however, the signs that are shown on the elevation maps do comply with the City's sign code for a C-2 district. Ms. McPherson stated the proposed hours of operation would be from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 p,m., Monday through Saturday, with peak hours generally occurring between 4:00 - 7:00 p.m. in the evening. With any rezoning request traffic can be an issue. Staff has looked at the traffic which could be generated by the liquor store and has also contracted with Short-Elliott- Hendrickson to further analyze the traffic impacts in rezoning to a commercial designation would generate. In looking at the types of trips that a liquor store would generate durinq the peak hours, SEH has determined that approximately 90 total trips per hour to and from the store could occur and in their opinion the left turning movement onto 73rd Avenue from the service road could be backed up at certain hours as peak hour traffic is accessing 73rd Avenue to go northbound on University Avenue. Ms. McPherson noted that Mr. Glen VanWormer was present also from SEH to further answer any questions that the commissioners or public 8.23 � PLANNING COMMISSION MEBTING, APRIL 19. 1995 PAGE 5 may have in regard to traffic concerns, as well as Mike Larson and Rick Pribyl, representing the Liquor Store operation to answer any questions in regard to the store operation. Ms. McPherson stated as the request meets the three criteria used in evaluating all rezoning requests, staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request to the City Council. Mr. Sielaff asked if the proposed site is similar to the Central Avenue site in terms of traffic volwnes. Ms. McPherson stated she did not have the inFormation readily available, but would guess that the traffic volumes would be pretty similar. Mr. Sielaff asked if there is data from the Central Avenue Ziquor store on how much traffic to the store is generated during peak hours. Ms. McPherson stated Mr. Larson should be able to provide information in regard to the number of customers per hour occur at that store. SEH estimates that approximately 90 total trips in and out per hour would occur during the peak. Mr. Kondrick stated in regard to where the building is being placed and the manner in which one would go into and out of the parking lot, he was curious what the distance is from the nearest entrance to the stop sign on 73rd Avenue. He wondered how many cars could be stacked in this area. Ms. McPherson stated the distance was estimated to be roughly 160 feet, so Mr. Kondrick felt approximately eight cars could stack. Ms. Modig asked if there have been any complaints from the neighborhood of where the liquor store is located now. Ms. McPherson stated she is not aware that their department has received any complaints regarding the current operation or location. She did not inquire from the police department as to whether they have received complaints. Mr. Kondrick asked how far the current liquor store is from a residential area to the south. Mr. Rick Pribyl, City Finance Director, was present to discuss the proposed liquor store. He stated the proposed site is one the City is considering because of the necessary relocation of the current store due to the redevelopment on the southwest quadrant oF the City's tax increment district. This site is one that the City has been looking at for some time and it appears PLANNING COMMISSION MESTING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 6 that it would be a very viable location for the City's off-sale municipal liquor store. Mr. Mike Larson, Operations Manager of the City's Liquor Store, was also present. He stated the largest change in the liquor stores industry is an increase in the business and warehouse style operations. The Fridley Liquor Stores have modified their image, management style and advertising plans to conform with customer demand for a warehouse image with a large selection and low pricing. This is their plan for this site. The goals for this proposal are to continue to provide a profit for the citizens of Fridley, control the sales of intoxicating beverages and build a store that the community can be proud of. Mr. Kondrick asked how the size of the proposed building compares with the current site on Mississippi Street. Mr. Larson stated both buildings are basically the same size. Currently, the warehouse store is 11,800 square feet. The proposed building will be 11,200 square feet. The design will better suit the use, however than building at the current location. Mr. Kondrick asKed how large a staff is employed. Mr. Larson stated there will fourteen (14) total employees; four full-time and the remaining will be part-time eaaployees. Mr. Sielaff asked if they had some idea as to how much additional traffic will be generated at the new site. Mr. Larson stated the studies have found that they would experience four to six times more exposure at the new site than what they are getting at the current site. The traffic that they anticipate at the new site is a northbound traffic. They are attempting to appeal to drive-by traffic. This is the key difference between the current iocation on Mississippi Street and the new proposed site. Mr. Kondrick asked how much of their volume will be drive-by traffic. His caiculations show this would be approximately a 30� increase. Mr. Larson stated the market analysis that they had done by Magnen Research predicts an increase using the worst-case scenario of about $615,000 by the higher exposure. The most likely case is about $900,000 in total saies. Mr. Larson stated if one looks at the proposed design, what they are attempting to do is have traffic make a right-hand turn on 73rd Avenue, coming down to the loop back, making a right-hand 8.24 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 7 turn and coming in the store. The reason the parking lot is designed the way it has been is when a person exists the store they will actually come out and down to 69th Avenue to get back out on University Avenue. The existing store parking lot travels in this fashion right now. If a parking lot is created in the way that they have, customers do not find it the most convenient to try to exit out when others are trying to turn in. Therefore, the automatic flow of traffic is determined by the design of the lot. Mr. Kondrick stated if 25� to 30$ of the customer base will be going north, they will likely choose to swing down 73rd Avenue to University Avenue. Mr. Larson stated he agrees with this. The other nice thing about the design is if they do exit out the southwestern driveway they would not cross oncoming traffic that the liquor store�would be creating. Mr. Kondrick asked if the driveways will accommodate two cars at both openings. If so, would it be possible to direct the traffic to always enter and exit the way that it is proposed. If this were possibie, there would be more stacking space. Ms. McPherson stated the City does have the option and flexibility to create this as a right-in type situation. Mr. Glen VanWormer was present to answer questions in regard to the traffic concerns. Mr. VanWormer stated they had completed a traffic study of the proposed site and put together a short report. In the report they did three things. They looked at the traffic that would be generated by the liquor store of the proposed size. They also did some comparisons on different types of uses that could be on this site. The traffic volumes range from 35 cars for a car repair use to 225 for a large bank of a fast-food restaurant. These are all peak hour figures. Mr. Sielaff asked if they have a sense of how much stacking wiil occur making a left-hand turn onto 73rd Avenue. Mr. VanWormer stated looking a signal cycle action, two or three cars would likely be backed up during peak hours of store operation. One of the biggest conflicts will be with the residential area which has a lot of outbound traffic in the morning. Whatever goes into the site, it should be one that generates evening traffic. pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAG$ 8 Mr. Sielaff asked how long they anticipate a car havinq to wait at that intersection before they could turn. Mr. VanWormer stated just guessing, he would say it would be rare that a car would be there longer than two signal cycles on University or more than 1 to 1.75 minutes. Mr. Oquist asked if there has been an opportunity to have conversations or discussions with the neighbors to the north and south in regard to the project prior to this time. Mr. Larson stated they did not anticipate any significant controversy as they assumed that this particular use on a commercial or retail basis would be less intrusive than some of the other possible uses. Mr. Kondrick asked if lighting has been discussed for the proposed store. Mr. Pribyl stated they have discussed this with the architect on several occasions. They have discussed putting a berm with the landscaping to make sure that there is no lighting from the headlights of the vehicles entering the area would shine over into the residential area. Ms. McPherson stated that she spoke with the project architect today who stated that at a minimum there would be one parking lot standard with a possibility of as many as two. These would be short standards, roughly 15 - 20 feet in height and would use the down-cast shoe box type design to control the light. Mr. Pribyl stated as far as the store lighting is concerned, there is not anything on the exterior of the store that has a high illumination factor. There are not any bright lights that actually shine on the building or cast off the building. Mr. Kondrick asked if they were considering any motion lights or if they would all be fixed lights. Mr. Pribyl stated there would be one backlit board shining toward the intersection of 73rd and University Avenues, and one backlit board on the University Avenue side. One of staff's considerations was to keep the 73rd Avenue sign from being highly illuminated. Mr. Newman asked if the zoning was kept as it currently is, how large of a facility could be constructed on the site? Ms. McPherson stated the parcel is 2.4 acres. Assuming that you could cover 40� of the lot with the building, a building of 41,000 square feet could be constructed. However, parkinq would 8.25 PLANNING COMMISSION l�sEBTING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 9 still need to be figured in, so that could bring the total square footage down considerably. Mr. Hickok stated to further answer the question about the building size in relationship to the number of parking stalls, different uses in a building determine the actual ratio used. Realistically with parking, it would probably be nearer to 30,000 square foot building with adequate parking. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Pamela Zembal of 7340 Concerto Curve stated she has a petition containing 234 signatures opposing the location of the liquor store at 73rd and University Avenues. There are several reasons for this opposition. 1) How wil,l this impact_the public health of the community? This faces a busy road, is located in the middle of three elementary schools, four parks, Rice Creek trails and places where one can expect youth to gather. It is well known that 60� of 9th grade students say that it is very easy to purchase alcohol. She thinks the City is encouraging this by placing a store in this location. 2) In 1990, the City was looking for alternative sites for the store. There were three proposed sites - Moore Lake Commons, East River Road & Osborne Road, and University Avenue and 57th Avenue. It seems very suddenly, the store site has been changed to 73rd and University. She had no idea where any of this came from. Looking at the three proposed sites, the estimated cost of the building was going to be roughly $700,000. Now they are looking at a different site and $1.4 million. She has heard some figure of a 13 - 33� return on the investment. To get a 13� to 33� return on this type of investment, liquor profits would have to be about $400,000/year. The City of Fridley has had municipal liquor stores for 27 years and generally they make about $180,000 per year profit. She does not see how the City could possibly feel they could get a profit margin of 13- 33�. When Fridley decides they are not making enough money with this liquor store, then what? Will it be let out to any private company in the retail liquor business? 3) She would like to know if the amount of police time and money that is being put into the DARE project is going to be born at all by the profits of the liquor store. We are giving very mixed messages to our children. We have this drug abuse reduction with the DARE project and we have Officer Friendly at the same time that we are having a very, very visible liquor store and encouraging children just by the placement of this liquor store to drink. We are going PLANNING COMMI88ION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 10 to be having a lot of excess traffic along the service road of University Avenue down towards and in front of the Columbia Arena. That will be a hazard to the children there and at the parks. She also feels that we are going to be doing some real damage to Rice Creek. There is going to be an amazing increase in trash there and as such she will be filing tomorrow with the Environmental Quality Board a request or petition to do a MPAW report on this project. She feels it will have a real impact on the environment of Rice Creek. 4) She would like to know if provisions have been made to increase police coverage for the parks around the area and the residential areas so that we don't have people stopping at the liquor store on the way home and going up to the park to drink the liquor rather than travel the very heavily patrolled University Avenue or Central Avenue, and taking residential streets which are not as heavily patrolled. She would like to know what kind of liability coverage this store is going to be carrying so that when, not if, an accident occurs, the lawsuits are not going to stop with the person who is probably not insured anyhow. What kind of extra police coverage will they have and what kind of liability coverage will the liquor store have so that when a product is purchased and consumed and an accident happens we are going to have some protection against lawsuits. 5) What kind of criminal history checks and training are going to be done for the employees. There are only going to be four permanent full time employees; the rest of them will be part time employees. She would like to know, if criminal history checks and training will be done to prevent underage consumption and parking lot consumption. Ms. Zembal stated that back in 1990 when the industry began to look for a new site, it seems to have been well thought and planned out - it now appears to have been pulled out of a Friday night poker game or something right now. All af the sudden, the City has changed the site, the size, the planning has not been done that looks like they are doing a serious business. That is why they are opposed to having the liquor store placed there. Ms. Zembal forwarded the petition to the Planning Commission, which contained 344 signatures. MOTION by Oquist, seconded by Mr. Rondrick to accept the petition as presented. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEMBERS VOTIN(3 AYE, THE MOTION WAS CARRIED IINANIMOQSLY. 8.26 � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. APRIL 19,'1995 PAGE 11 Mr. Newman stated the Planning Commission's first involvement with this particular application was tonight. The five questions that Ms. Zembal outlined were addressed by Mr. Rick Pribyl. Mr. Pribyl stated some of the questions they would not be able to answer as they related to public safety issues which involved the Police Department. Mr. Pribyl stated that in regard to the prior three locations, back in 1989 and 1990 the search was not as in-depth as this one was. This site was actually being viewed by the Liquor Store Manager, but because of the wetland issue at that point in time, a different Liquor Store Manager chose not to actually pursue any remediation possibilities for the site. That site was actually eliminated and they chose to pursue another site. Mr. Pribyl stated the City reaognizes the implications with the moral issues and has the responsibility to make sure that what they propose to the City Council is financially feasible. This site is probably the best site the City has ever looked at in regard to retail off-sale operation. The current site that they have has been a temporary location and was not by any means first choice for location. Mr. Pribyl stated that in regard to whether the liquor store contributes to the DARE program, Mr. Pribyl stated this is a policy decision that the City Council actually reviews each and every year as they go through the budget process. This is an option and probably one of many that the Council will be dealing with if and when the site actually develops. Those profits will be re appropriated into whatever general fund activities the Council sees fit. Currently, it has not contributed to the DARE program only because the City knew that the Mississippi site was only a temporary site. Mr. Pribyl stated that in regard to the City's return on their investments, the $400,000 is actually the best scenario that came through the marketing anaZysis. The higher end return on investment was associated with approximately $400,000. This was the highest end projection the marketing analyst actually provided to the City. Mr. Larson stated the market analysis that came back on the store gave us a worst case/likely case/most likely/optimistic and best case. Everything was based on the most likely case, but it is their goal to have the best case. The most likely, as far as a net basis is somewhere in the area of $300,000 income. The questions in regard to police patrol of the parks, etc., was a public safety issue and could not be addressed by either Mr. Larson or Mr. Pribyl. PLANNING COMMISSION ME$TING APRIL 19 1995 PAG$ 12 Mr. Pribyl stated that in regard to liability insurance, they are required to carry Dram Shop coverage which is in the area of $600,000. This is the maximum amount of insurance required by the State. Mr. Larson stated in regard to the criminal history checks for employees of the liquor store, they are performed on all employees by the Fridley Policy Department. Employees are trained and certified and they are visited by the Police Department at their regular staff ineetings. Mr. Pribyl informed the commissioners that candidates have been rejected in the past based on information obtained during their criminal history check. Mr. Larson stated in 1993 $23,000 was designated to the Alexander House, in 1994 $75,000 worth of liquor profits were designated to another human service organization. The profits for 1995 have not been designated. Mr. Sielaff asked how the wetland issue was resolved. Mr. Pribyl stated a.consultant was actually hired to define and examine the particular property to determine if it existed as a wetland. In 1988 or 1989 the property was defined by the DNR as a wetland. Actually no examination was made of the property itself at that time. The City hired a consultant to go on the property and dig trenches and examine the soil conditions. Their report back to the City was that a wetland did not exist. Mr. Oquist asked if there was concerns as to the environmental impact of this development on Rice Creek. Mr. Pribyl stated he was not aware of any potential impact. Mr. Bill Holm of 7424 Melody Drive asked if the Planning Commission considers the profit of the liquor operation in evaluating the request. Mr. Newman stated no, their role is strictly limited to the land use plans standpoint. Mr. Holm stated this is a rather interesting request for rezoning in that one portion of the government is asking for that zoning change from another portion of the City government. He asked how the staff looks at this as compared to a private developer coming in and asking for a liquor store. Mr. Newman stated it is a unique situation, however it is not unusual. There are other requests such as these, such as requests for certain uses at the Columbia lce Arena which 8.27 � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 13 involves the county's approval. Mr. Holm also asked if any consideration was given as to relocating the liquor store at the Mississippi Street and University Avenue site (pThe Gym") which for some time was vacant and zoned C-2. Mr. Pribyl stated yes, however it was very expensive and also the traffic patterns of the property as far as entering and existing the site did not flow well. Mr. Iiolm stated he is concerned about the traffic flow to and from his neighborhood. This situation is similar to the CUB situation which occurred several years ago and he feels the Planning Commission should consider being consistent in its evaluation of those requests. This situation is just as intrusive as the CUB situation. The neighbors say the zoning should be left as it is. This is what was expected when they moved into the neighborhood and they see no reason to change it. They view the 35 foot setback rather than ifl0 ft. setback as a significant issue. Finally, he and the other neighbors care about their neighborhood. He has been there for 27 years. They have neighborhood garage sales, softball games, and they care about the area. They do not approve of the liquor store as shown by the petition and they feel the Planning Commission should take that into consideration. Ms. Gail Roufs of 7686 Van Buren Street stated she has a fifth grader and an eighth grader, and as a family they use the bike paths quite frequently, often between the 4:00 to 7:00 p.m. time period. As a resuZt of discussing the proposa2 with her fifth grader, she went to school and discussed the issue with her classmates. The students recently graduated from a 17-week DARE program. At the graduation, the Deputy Commissioner of the Police Department spoke very pointedly to the parents about what examples they are settinq for their children and alcohol abuse specifics. He talked about how much decrease in Police coverage would occur if alcohol consumption was less. As a result of this discussion, the fifth graders of her daughter's class were very upset by the fact that this proposal was not consistent with the example and teachings they have had over the past seventeen weeks. The teacher shared that she had a very hard time controlling the fifth graders. The classroom drafted a letter to the City of Fridley in regard to this proposal. Ms. Roufs proceeded to read the ietter: "Dear City Council: We are fifth grade students in Fridley. We have just completed the DARE program which taught us about alcohol, drugs and violence prevention. We are PLANNING COMMi88ION MEETING, APRIL 19. 1995 PAGE 14 concerned about the new location of the liquor store near a bike path. The customers of the liquor store may be dangerous to bikers and pedestrians who use the path. We think that a new location where children don't ride bikes or play would be safer. Sincerely, Grade 5 Woodcrest School"(signed by 22 fifth grade studentsj Ms. Roufs stated she would like to formally submit this letter to the Planning Commission. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba to receive the letter from the Woodcrest School students. IIPON A VOICE VOT$, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMA�1 DBCLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOQSLY. Ms. Ann Hagen of 551 Rice Creek Boulevard stated she is a resident of Holiday Hills and whenever there is a hockey game or show at the Columbia lce Arena, the traffic is backed up substantialiy at the 69th traffic light. Her children have taken piano lessons from a resident of Melody Manner and for five years she has had to cross the intersection and she feels the liquor store will only add to the traffic and congestion. Ms. Hagen stated she walks to the park and as a resident takes pride in the area. There are occasionally beer bottles laying around now; when there are sports events, there are.more bottles and trash. She is sure that the access to liquor will be an issue. Ms. Hagen stated that her daughter went through the DARE program also and was upset about the proposal as well, with the visibility and access to the bike trails. Mr. Jim Plocienik of 7507 Tempo Terrace stated he signed the petition but did it without knowing a thing about it. After reviewing the information, he would like to rescind his signature. It seems there is a lot of opposition just due to the fact that it is a liquor store. He would like to have his name scratched from the petition. Mr. Jerry of 6110 Star Lane stated he aqrees that maybe the City should have a liquor store in that location. With the profits the City will generate, the residents will all benefit. With all the taxes going up, he would give anything to somehow lower his. Yt sounds to him like residents do not want anything on the site. $.28 PLANNING COMMISSION ME$TING, APRIL 19. 1995 PAaS 15 It is his feeling that the property should be used for something. Would they prefer a garaqe there? He cannot imagine opposition to a nice, clean run, well packaged operation. Mr. Quentin Freeburg of 301 Rice Creek Terrace stated he came to represent the membership at the Woodcrest Baptist Church which is located at 6875 University Avenue. He had a copy of a letter addressed to the Mayor's office from their pastor which he would like to read and submit to the record. Mr. Freeburq proceeded to read the ietter. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig to accept the letter as presented. IIPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEMBERS VOTING AYB� CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED DNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Freeburg stated he had one question he would like addressed, that being the distance between the intersection of the service road at 73rd Avenue and University Avenue. Mr. Newman responded that it is approximately 285 feet. Mr. Freeburg stated since most of that traffic is northbound, it would be safe to presume that once tiiey make that left turn from the service road onto 73rd, they will be moving into the right turn lane to continue north on University Avenue. This means that within 285 feet they will have to cross three lanes oi eastbound and three lanes of westbound traffic. This could lead to consid�rable traffic back up and congestion at that intersection. He stated his final point is of the three criteria that Michelle mentioned, the second one has to do with compatibility with adjacent sites. He thinks a lot greater consideration should be given to compatibility with neighboring sites. The neighboring sites being the community softball facilities across the street, Columbia Arena, Locke Park, the residents and the church and school that are located there. Mr. Freeburg stated on the formal notice that was published in the Fridley Focus issue on April llth, it did not mention, as the agenda does, the purpose for the rezoning. It mentioned the rezoning, it mentioned the plat, and it mentioned the address but nowhere did it mention the purpose of the rezoning was for a municipal liquor store. He thinks this may have been a qross error judgment in making that public notice. Mrs. Marge Tangren of 7368 Symphony Street stated she would like to know how many cars can stack in the 285 foot area from the service road at 73rd Avenua #� University Avenue. ;, pLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 19. 1995 PAGE 16 Mr. Newman stated the area allows for approximately 14 car lengths. Ms. Tangren stated she lives on Symphony Street and she knows of ten small children who go across 73rd Avenue to the biking path. Ms. Tangren stated that she is also concerned about drinking problems that may increase as result of the new location. She stated there are lots of apartment buildings, and many of the residents do not have vehicles. By having a liquor store within walking distance, they will have greater access to liquor. Ms. Tangren stated there is an apartment building in the area that has been rehabilitated for women who are abstaining from liquor. What will a liquor store that is in close proximity of their homes do for them? Mr. Tom Rafferty of 148 Horizon Circle stated he was in attendance to speak in favor of the rezoning of the property. The property as it is right now (heavy industrial) will never be used. Whether it is used as a liquor store, convenience store, a gas station or whatever, it will not be heavy industrial. The zoning needs to be changed. Mr. Chester Burkowitz of 7370 Concerto Curve stated he is in opposition to the City of Fridley being in the liquor business. He stated he is also in opposition to the rezoning because of the traffic and also for the purpose of erecting a building for the purpose of selling alcohol. Alcohol has caused a lot of unnecessary deaths, created a lot of domestic abuse, broken marriages, battered women, child abuse and in many instances deprived children of food. Why should the City of-Fridley promote and encourage sales of a special kind of building in an area such as 73rd and University, with a hockey arena, churches, bike path, etc. On 59th and University Avenue there is a building specifically for people who have a drinking problem. Just a little bit further down University, the City of Fridley wants to put in an establishment to encourage people to buy liquor. He does not see a need for a building such as that. If the City needs to have a liquor building establishment, put it somewhere else less conspicuous. Mr. Burkowitz noted it has been stated by someone in the paper that it brings in approximately $100,000 in revenue per year. Think about the money that has been lost due to the damage it has done to families caused by accidents and the abuse, loss of work. Also, with the cost of the new buildinq, it will take approximately ten to twelve years to show a profit assuming the $100,000/year profit. 8.29 � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. APRIL 19. 1995 PAGE 17 Mr. Burkowitz stated that he is opposed to the rezoning, due to the traffic, the close proximity of it to Columbia Arena and the bike paths. The location is inviting, encouraging people to use it alcohol. We should fight alcohol, not encourage it. Mr. A1 Quam of 399 73rd Avenue stated he thinks it is a bad idea. The location is a premier site from a marketing standpoint but it is totally disregarding the church, park and bike trails. Mr. Quam asked what percentage of this net is it in terms of City revenue. Is it 1/2� or is it 5�? Mr. Pribyl stated it is probably in the area of 6� as compared to the general fund appropriations. Mr. Quam stated this is not very significant. echo the comments of some residents. They do changed. The liquor.store will increase the He asked who currently owns that property. Mr. Pribyl stated it is owned by C.P. Rail. He would like to not want the zoning amount of traffic. Mr. Quam noted that somebody said the property will never be used if they do not develop it for the liquor store. He stated this may not be such a bad idea. It could be used for a rest stop for the park and trail systems. He would urge the commission not to approve this. If the City must have a liquor store, do it elsewhere because there are alternatives. Be more sensitive and up front with the neighborhoods to begin with. Mr. Rich Larson of 5861 Fifth Street stated he moved into Fridley 30 years ago. About one year ago, the City decided to put in a pawn shop in the old Holiday gas station. He was opposed to this, however there have been no problems, they have cleaned the station up and it looks better. Mr. Larson stated that he is in favor of re2oning the property, and getting on with business. Suzanne Holm of 7424 Melody Drive stated she is concerned about the traffic and feels there should be a separate exit. Unless the service road would be moved over, it will encourage traffic to shoot over to Symphony Street and cut through the neighborhood. Mr. John Miller of 7350 Lyric Lane stated he feels one of the problems is access. There is vacant property on the northwest corner which is zoned C-2. Why not use that property? Mr. Miller also noted the traffic problems and congestion that he Eeels will be generated by the liquar store. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING APRIL 19 1995 PAGE 18 George Johnson of 210 Rice Creek Terrace stated he does not live in the particular area. He is near where the current liquor store is and he does not like to drive out on Mississippi Street on Friday nights or Saturdays or before a holiday because the drivers are very aggressive. This is because they have been drinking or will be drinking and that is one of the problems. He sympathizes with the people in the proposed area. He thinks that the increased profit that may come only amounts to 2$, figuring on a$10,000,000 total revenue, and that hardly warrants that kind of traffic problem and hazard to people living in the area. He feels that if the City would consider leaving the place open for possible car repair business or a fast food business or bank, he thinks the City could have a legitimate business in that area which is next to a residential area and alsa a recreational area. That is the kind of business that is really wanted there. Mr. Tim Breider of 7550 Tempo Terrace stated he thinks that the whole thing boils down to whether the City is willing to protect the integrity of the zoning laws or the people who are saying they don't want the liquor store there. He is opposed to the rezoning. Mr. Will Lynn of 7370 Memory Lane stated from what he gathered from the articles in the paper, the City intends to generate business from people that are coming from the south up University Avenue and going to where they live in Anoka, St. Cloud, or wherever or they are on their way up North. His questions is, is the City going to listen to the people that live in Fridley or the people that go through Fridley and simply stop to buy liquor in the town. He is opposed to it, and opposed to the City of Fridley even thinking about having a liquor store. Mrs. Will Lynn of 7370 Memory Lane stated she has two granddaughters that use the bike trail and it is a favorite place. They turn around that corner and they go over to Columbia Arena. She can just see the traffic going in there. She thinks we need to think about the legacy we will leave to our children and grandchildren. She shutters to think about telling her granddaughter what the big sign near the store says. What are we promoting in our "friendly Fridley"? Lets be friendly to the people who live there and to the morals and standards that we are trying to teach our children and grandchildren. "Let's decide against this." • Ms. Ann Hagen stated so much has been mentioned about the bike trails. She would just like to invite the commissioners to schedule in a walk through the areas that you can access by bike or walking so they can see what the residents are anxious not to ruin. 8.30 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAGE 19 Ms. Leah Price of 7428 Melody Drive stated she grew up in the neighborhood and just purchased a house in the neighborhood. She is very much against building a liquor store there. She feels the City should be looking into human concerns. Are we about money and business in the City or are we about people? Ms. Price agrees that it should be made into more of a landscaping area. Why does anything need to be built there? She moved out of Spring Lake Park away from establishments - liquor stores, car repair, etc. Fridley is becoming that way. There are so many reasons presented by residents not to rezone the property, she thinks that money is a poor reason to do it. There were no more residents who wished to be heard at the public hearing. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff to close the public hearing at 9:30 p.m. IIPON A VOICE VOTB, ALI, MEMBERS VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON NEWMAN DECLARED THE PIIBLiC HEARING CLOSED. Mr. Sielafi stated he empathizes with all of the residents and their feelings about this particular rezoning. He felt it necessary to go back to why as a Planning Commission they are here. They do not really address whether the City is in the liquor business or not. Basically they have to address the land use and if it is appropriate to rezone into a new land use. Presently it is zoned as heavy industrial and they are considering rezoning it to C-2. Data suggests that there is going to be some increase in traffic but depending upon what direction the main traffic flow wi21 go (towards the north), it should not be a problem. He is concerned about the general location of the parks to the liquor store. He does not know that having a liquor store will increase or decrease the problems, but he does know that there have not been any problems at the current location and its neighborhood. He does not necessary feel that this location will be any different. He would have to say that based on whether this is an appropriate rezoning or not, he feels it is justifiable to rezone the property. Ms. Modig stated the arguments against the rezoning are valid, but the fact is the land will not be used for heavy industrial. She is somewhat concerned about the traffic and feels there are some problems which will need to be addressed. The present liquor store is in a neighborhood that has churches, businesses and residential areas. She would be in favor of rezoning the property. Mr. Kondrick stated the only thing that is of a concern to him is the bike trail. He feels the residents have a valid point about PLANNING COMMISSION MESTING, APRIL 19. 1995 PAG� 20 that and getting kids and adults ofi the streets and having access to the east side of the street down to the Columbia Arena parking lot. He feels any facility that is put there will generate traffic. He does not feel it will remain heavy industrial. The people who own the property will do all that they can to try to encourage that something be built on the property. Some of the other possibilities for the site could generate more traffic that the liquor store. He feels if it is done right and in a sharp way, it could be an asset to the City of Fridley. Being Chairman of the Park & Recreation Commission, he is concerned about the parks that are adjacent, thus his concern about the bike trail. However he does not think that the liquor store will cause more bottles in Locke Park or Columbia Arena. He feels a class liquor store with good landscaping and proper lighting would be an asset to_the community and he is in favor of rezoning the property to C-2. Mr. Oquist asked if this was a request to rezone the property to C-2 or was it a request to build a liquor store. What if the Planning Commission approved the rezoning without the approval of the liquor store on that site? Ms. McPherson stated this is possible that the City Council could approve the rezoning of the property to be consistent with the comprehensive plan as it was approved in 1990. They could also decide not to bring a liquor store in and relocate somewhere else. The request is consistent with other rezoning requests in which the City typically requires a proposal before it will consider a rezoning so they are treating themselves like they would treat any other developer. Mr. Oquist stated he is a little surprised that the City did not anticipate the opposition. He thinks the City would have been better served had they taken a little time and met with the people in the area and tried to explain what the situation was. He feels the City should have tried to work with the neighborhood and attempt a compromise if possible. Mr. Oquist stated he believes the property does need to be rezoned to C-2. He does not know if putting a liquor store on the property is the right thing for it, but he feels it either needs to be rezoned to C-2 or make a park out of it. It has been there for so long, and there have been many proposals made. It is time to do something. He does not know if it is the right place for a park to be. Mr. Oquist stated he is in favor of the rezoning. He feels the package that has been put together is a decent package. He does not see it causing a lot of problema for the parks and ball 8.31 � • � PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 19, 1995 PAG$ 21 fields. People will get their alcohol regardless of where it is located. Mr. Saba stated he has mixed feelings about the rezoning. Morally, he agrees with a lot of the comments made however, if the City of Fridley got out of the liquor business, it could not prevent someone from coming in and selling alcohol. Mr. Saba stated he has traveled Mississippi Street often and has not noticed any problems on Friday or Saturday evenings from the operation of the liquor store there. Mr. Saba stated he also bikes the trails that were mentioned by area residents. He does feel that 90 trips to and from the store can be managed. He would like to think that the City would consult with the public safety people on the location of a liquor store there in ternas of the proximity to the park, the billiards hall and the other areas that the City has indicated as "problem areas". He has hopes that these discussions will take place prior to the City Council meeting. Mr. Saba stated he would have to concur with fellow commissioners and approve the rezoning request. Mr. Newman stated he also agrees with the rest of the commissioners. He feels the residents should have a say about neighboring issues and there is the opportunity for the City to respond to the concerns raised by residents in regard to lighting, setback, traffic, and the bike path.

B.A., Youth Pastor Loren Isaacs. B.S., Principal I am writing in concern over the prospect of a liquor store being built on available property norfh of the Columbia lce Arena here in Fridley. With the Fridley Park softbaf{ facilities across the highway, we already experience many cars using our parking lot in overFlow parking needs at tournament time. This creates waste products and pop cans on our parking lot. With a liquor store so close, we would have an even greater problem. Wifih the Fridley Park and the Columbia Arena close to the considered properfy, it would be readily accessible to minors who may want to frequent the liquor establishment. The Locke Park facility is a fine family-oriented park. If the liquor establishment is allowed to operate so close, the park could become undesirable and even unsafe for family use. � could hope that there would not be any liquor establishment in the city of Fridley, but certainly not at such a site so close to our chUrch here and for the ai�ove mentioned reasons. `�ou can count on rhe membership ofi this cnurch opposing the consideration for such a building. We shall plan on being at the meeting on Monday, Apri124th at 8:45 p.m. Thank you for your endeavoring to understand our viewpoint in this matter.
