PUBLIC HEARING ON ASSESSMENT FOR THE EAST RIVER ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. ST. 1994-03 (CONTINUED FROM OCTOBER 28, 1996): MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom remove this item from the table and reopen the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and ihe public hearing reopened at 7:53 p.m. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this item was tabled at the last meetinq in order for staff to obtain further information from the County regarding the costs. Th.e total cost for this FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1995 PAGE 5 projec� was $189,671.02 with property owners being assessed. $4b,080.21. The remaining amount of $143,590.81 would be paid from the City's Capi�al Improvement Fund. This improvement covers East River Road from Hartman Circle to Glen Creek Road. The assessed properties would be certified for ten years at an interest rate of 6-1/2 percent. Mr. Pribyl stated that the Engineering Department reviewed the line item costs with the Coun�y and confirmed the amount of concrete curb and gutter that was used in this project. The County and City's overhead costs were also reviewed. The actual cost for the concrete curb and gutter was $79,746.25. With the removal of the median costs of $42,771.75, plus engineering and inspection costs, the total is $58,011.19. This amount divided by the assessable front footage equals $11.24 a front foot. These numbers support the $9.00 a front foot assessment. Councilman Schneider asked how many lineal feet of concrete curb and gutter was installed and how much is included in the assessment. Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that the City is assessing for 5,160 feet. The $79,746 includes the total concrete curb and gutter tor both sides of the street and the median. When the $43,000 cost for the median is removed and engineering and inspection costs are added, the total is $58,000 divided by the assessable footage of 5,160, amounting to an assessment of $11.24 a front foot. Councilman Schneider stated that, as he understands, the difference of an $11.24 front foot cost and the amount quoted at the last Council meeting of about $5.75 is because the cost is spread over the total assessable front footage and engineering and inspection costs have been added. This method of spreading the assessment is consistent with the City's policy. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that Mr. Flora met with Mr. Sandstrom, who is the property owner at 6941 East River Road. The front footage should be 113, not 117.68. Mr. Pribyl stated that the assessment roll indicated 117.68 front feet for Mr. Sandstrom's property, but it should be 113 feet resulting in a $42.12 reduction. Mrs. Jan Hammerstrom, 6931 East River Road, stated that she spoke with the County`s Engineering Department to verify the figures presented at the iast Council meeting. The County told her that the costs for the median curb and gutter were paid by the County, and the 4,0�3.5 linear feet of concrete curb and gutter that was installed was �lalf the �otal or 8,147 feet which covered both sides of the street. She was also told that half of this cost is paid b� the Caunty. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETiNG OF NOVEMBER 4, 1996 PAGE 6 Mrs. Hammerstrom stated that the bid for the curb and gutter was $5.25 a front foot with an added eight percent engineering fee. That brings the cost to about $5.65 a front foo�. The City is only being charged for 4,073.5 iinear feet. The amount being assessed against the property owners is $46,080, which is for the total 8,147 feet at $5.67 a front foot. Therefore, property owners are being assessed for curb and gu�ter on both sides of the street. She felt that property owners were being assessed for this total footage of 8,147 even though the County pays for half this amount. Mr. Flora stated that the total assessable footage is 5,160 front feet plus the engineering and administrative costs associated with this project. If, for exampie, the state pays 100 percent of the cost, the City also assesses for 100 percent of the cost. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the City has improved Municipal 5tate Aid Streets, and these have been assessed even though the City has been reimbursed. Basically, the City is trying to put funds back into the street improvement fund in order to maintain the streets. Mr. Flora stated that the actual cost af the concrete curb and gutter on this project amounts to about $58,000 which includes engineering and administrative costs. With a total of 5,160 front feet of assessable property, the cost is $11.24 a front foot. The City is assessing only $9.00 a front foot. The total project cost is $189,617. Of that figure, $143,590 will be paid out of the City's Capital. Improvement Fund. Mrs . Hammerstrom stated that it seemed to her the property owners are being assessed almost double the amount the City has to pay the County. If the County bills the City $23,000 and the City assesses the property owners $46,000, it seems the property owners are paying double. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that the City's cost for the project was $189,000, and the money has to come from somewhere. Councilman Schneider sta�ed that the policy that Council adopted in order to main�ain the City's street infrastructure, was on County and Municipal State Aid Streets that are improved, property owners would only be assessed for the concrete curb and gutter portion of the improvement. Councilman Billings stated that what is being done is limiting a t�iomeowner's exposure on a project. Instead of assessing the $189, 000 cost of the project the City is limiting the cost to the property owner by assessing only for the concrete curb and gutter. The language in the notice that was sent to the property owners would lead one to believe that the City is only assessinq for the concrete curb and gutter in front of the property owner's property. That is not th� case. The property owners pay the total cost of cur� and guCter on the entire project. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1996 PAGE 7 Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that the City's policy is for property owners to only pay one assessment for curb and gutter. If the assessment method seems unfair, i� is necessary for the City to recoup some of the costs in order to keep the street improvements ongoing and maintain the City's infrastructure. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that Council has had numerous discussions on how to maintain the City streets in the future, if funds, such as state aid, are not available. Councilman Billings stated that the City did not adequately describe what was included in the assessment. He promised to do everything he could to correct this situation so that residents do not have to go through the anxiety Mrs. Hammerstrom has over the last several days. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she appreciated Mrs. Hammerstrom bringing this forward. She was sure it was a learning process for the Council. Hopefuliy, the wording will be better defined for the next assessment hearings. Mrs. Hamraerstrom stated that she has a hard time with the figures and felt this had been resolved but not necessarily to her satisfaction. She is saddened that Mayor Nee's name is not on the ballot and appreciated all the efforts, hard work, and integrity he brought to this office. Councilman Schneider stated that he apprecia�ed Mrs. Hammerstrom bringing this to their attention and the homework she has done. The notices will be changed to better re�lect the assessment. MOTION by Councilman Billings to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 8:34 p,m. 10. PUBLIC HEARING ON ASSESSMENT FOR THE MAIN STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT N0. ST. 1994-08 (COMMERCIAL) {CONTINUED FORM OCTOBER 28, 1996): Mayor Nee removed this item from the table and the hearing re- opened at 8:34 p.m. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that the total cost of this project was $177,702.30 for improvements on Main Street. $173,111.02 is being assessed against the affected commercial property owners at $8.00 a front foot for concrete curb and gutter and $3.03 per 100 square feet based on 75 percent coverage for storm sewer. The assessment is for a ten-year period at an interest rate of 6-1/2 percent. Mr. Pribyl stated that the Engineering Division has consulted with the County. The actual cost for concrete curb and gutter was FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETTNG OF NOVEMBER 4, 1995 PAGE 8 $72,608.22 plus the addition of administrative and ergineering costs or a total of $9�,237.91. This amount divided �y the assessable front footage of 10,037 is about $9.69 a front foot. No persons spoke regarding this proposed assessment.

PUBLIC HEARING ON ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT, ZTA #96-02, BY NOAH'S ARK, TO �NIEND THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, CHA.PTER 205, ENTITLED "ZONING," BY AMENDING SECTIONS 205.07.Q1.Ct8), 205.08.O1.C(8). 205.09.O1.C(17), AND 205.14:O1.A(14), TO PROVIDE PARKING STANDARDS FOR NURSING HOMES, CONVALESCENT HOMES AND HOMES FOR THE ELDERLY: FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETiNG OF N4VEMBER 4, i996 PAGE 9 MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, ali ti=oting aye, Mayor Nee deciared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:40 p.m. Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this request for a zoning text amendment has been submitted by Noah`s Ark to update the City's parking to reflect actual parking demands for elderly/senior housing and care facilities. It has been determined that the City's code is lacking specific language in defining parking ratios for nursing homes, independent living facilities, and assisted living facilities. Mr. Hickok stated it is recommended that the parking ratio for nursing homes be one space for every four beds and three spaces for every four employees on the largest shift. For independent living facili�ies, the recommendation is one space per unit, with fifty percent of the stalls enclosed. If the building is convertible to market rate, then the number of stalZs shall be based on the nta.mber of bedrooms. The parking recommended for assisted living facilities is one-half space per unit. Councilwoman Jorgenson asked if this amendment would decrease the number of parking stalls that are currently required for nursing homes. Mr. Hickok stated that as far as nursing homes, there are very few residents that have vehicles. The requirement for one space for every four beds is fairly consistent. Councilman Schneider asked why this ordinance would be less restrictive than New Brighton's. Mr. Hickok stated that there are varying numbers around the metropolitan area. New Brighton's ordinance is one that may or may have been modified to reflect industry standards. Very few cities have modified their ordinances. From staff's perspective, they felt parking was exaggerated. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that on a typical day, there are not many visitors at nursing homes. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she was checking this over the weekend. She reported that Fridley Convalescent Home`s parking Iot was totally full. She wanted to be careful that the City was r.ot limiting parking to a typical Monday through Friday staffing and then when people are visiting on weekends, there is not a place to park. There should be sufficient parking available so that people do not park on neighborhood streets. Mayor Nee asked if the parking at �Tillage Green has been evaluated. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1996 PAGE 10 Councilwcman Jorgenson stated that this weekend there was plenty of space in the back, but the visitors parking area in front of the building was full. Mr. Hickok stated that persons in a nursing home generally do not have vehicles. This would balance the space for employees. Ms. Cheryl Stinski, who operates several facilities for skilled care and independent living, stated that in the skilled care facilities the parking problem centered around the shift changes. The ratio of one to four seems reasonable. In an assisted living facility, very few people drive, and it is not like the nursing home category. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that it seems the number of parking spaces proposed is reasonable. Mr. Roland Stinski stated that he built the Trevilla Nursing Homes and has never had a problem with parkinq. A one to four ratio would provide plenty of parking. He is constructing an assisted living facility in Burnsville which has a one to four parking ratio. No other persons in the audience spoke regardinq this proposed zoning text amendment. MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 8:56 p.m. 14. PUBLIC HEARING ON ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT, ZTA #96-03, BY ROLAND STINSKI, TO ALLOW PROFESSIONAI., JEWELRY SERVICES AS A PERMITTED USE IN CR-1 DISTRICTS: MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to waive the readinq of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing opened at 8:56 p.m. Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a request for a zoning text amendment by Roland Stinski, �ohn Mely, and Brian Sullivan. The request is to amend the CR-1, General Business District, to allow a professional jewelry store as a permitted use. Mr. Hickok stated that staff recommends allowing professional jewelry services as a special use permit, rather than a permitted use. This conclusion is based on a need to limit the retail floor area within a CR-1 complex, minimize the "commercial destination" appearance in an otherwise office or residential district, and to assure adequate parking exists for the other uses in the CR-1 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1996 PAGE 11 district. Staff recommends approval ��ith three stipulations which he outlined. Mr. Stinski, the petitioner, stated that he would have no objection to a special use permit rather than a permitted use. Councilman Schneider asked if there are special security requirements that wouid be needed for the operation of this jewelry service. Mr. Stinski s�ated that there is now security in the building; however, the insurance company may require additional security measures. MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 9:01 p.m. OLD BUSINESS: 15. SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE REPEAI,ING CHAPTER 12 OF THE FRIDLEX CITY CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY ANb ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER • 12, ENTITLED "TOBACCO PRODUCTS" AND AMENDING CHAPTER 11 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, ENTITLED "GENERAL PROVISIONS AND FEES:" MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading and adopt this ordinance on second reading and order publication. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Mr. Gary Lenzmeier, Deputy Public Safety Director, stated that he understood that Council wished to add several items to this ordinance. These issues involve language to be added regarding training for clerks, a hearing officer, and state statute requirements concerning compliance checks. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she wished to thank the persons who spoke last week on this proposed ordinance and for forwarding additional information. Council has information from the City of Hopkins, and she would like to explore implementation of a training program. She would also like the retailers to notify the City as to their compliance with this training. Councilman Billings stated that he understood Hopkins` ordinance stated that the employer needs to have a training program. Super- America already has a trai,ning program �or their employees. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that from information received from the non- smokers coalition, SuperAmerica does have a video series ror training their employees. There �.s amp�.e training information from vendors that retailers can use. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCiL MEETZNG OF NOVEMBER 4, 1996 PAGE 12 Councilman Billings stated that it would appear that adding ianguage regarding training would not be burdensome to the retailers because there is information readily available. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that Mr. Norris, who was at last week's meeting, was in favor of a training program. Councilwoman Jorgenson noted that Mr. Norris said that Super- America has an extensive training program for compliance. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that as far as looking at assessing fines for those that are not in compliance, possibly some in-house program could be provided and shared among retailers. Mr. Larry Spiczka, Manager of the SuperAmerica at 5667 University Avenue, stated that they use video tapes for training, as they do not want a questionable tobacco sale. Councilman Billings asked if their program was commercially available or if it was an in-house program. Mr. Spiczka stated that it is an in-house program. Most re�ailers do have some kind of training for their employees. MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to receive a letter from Hubert Humphrey, III, dated October 31, 1996 regarding the sale of tobacco to children. Seconded by Councilwoman Jorgenson. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. Councilwoman Bolkcom questioned the self-serve issue, cited infor- mation received from the University of Minnesota, and how cities arrived at their decisions. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that when he received the information he could not contact those that were instrumental in drafting the legislation. Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that Council may want to consider a contractual hearing officer to hear appeals based on the enforcement of these laws. A hearing officer probably could be the first step in the appeal process before going to Council which would be consistent with what the City is doing in other areas. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she and Councilwoman Jorgenson felt it was not a bad idea to have a hearing officer. It might be worthwhile to find out how much time other cities are spending on these issues and look at their process for resolving these problems. Mr. Lenzmeier stated that in reviewing the ordinances from other cities, he failed to see any reference to a hearing and did not know if this was an oversight or included in another ordinance. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL N�ETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1996 PAGE 13 Councilwoman �orgenson stated that the enforcement is probably through the court system. She wanted to make sure there is some sort of due process. She also wanted to be aware of where and when these problems arise. Councilman Billings questioned the language with regard to compZiance chec�s. As he understands the objections, it seems the non-smokers coalition favored the State statute because it allows them to do studies. Possibly, the State language could be combined with the City's proposed language in that if someone is doing a research project in the City, they need to notify the Police Department beforehand. The City does not necessarily need to have direct supervision of studies but prior approval by the Police Department is in order. � Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that possibly the words "direct supervision" causes the problem. She is not against changing the ordinance so that if someone like the University of Minnesota came in to conduct a study, it could be coordinated with the Police Department. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that she could visualize where a high school student may want to do a survey for one of his classes. As Iong as they could do it in conjunction with the Police Department, it would be a good effort. Councilman Billings felt that when the University of Minnesota conducted their studies, they are not done with the intent towards enforcement. He is not sure if this is good or bad, but he would like the Police Department to know the study is being conducted. Councilwoman Jorgenson stated that part of the study is usually to control the variables. This would assist the Police Department in controlling those variables. Councilman Schneider felt that the Police Department should be aware if there is a study being conducted. He felt that the ordinance language should be less restrictive, but it should not be so open as to allow everyone to come into the City to do compliance checks. He would be interested if other cities use a hearing examiner for appeals. He would prefer a hearing examiner. Councilman Billings stated that, as he understands, it is felt the language regarding compliance should probably be a little less restrictive but not as restrictive as the state statute. Further, language requiring a training program and possible language regarding a hearing officer versus Council should be added. He stated that he, Councilman Schneider, and Mayor Nee prefer a hearing officer; however, it appears Councilwomen Jorgenson and Bolkcom would like more information on what is being done in other cities with regard to a hearing officer. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCiL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 4, 1996 FAGE 14 Councilwoman Bolkco� stated that she would like to know how other cities are proceeding with appeals, but she is not necessariiy opposed to a hearing officer. Councilwoman Jorgenson questioned if the reason for leaning towards a hearing officer. She asked if there is a concern that Council might be unwilling to impose the heavy fines, or is it just that the hearings would be too cumbersome for Council. MOTION by Councilwoman Jorgenson to �able this item for further staff investigation. Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously. i6. RESOLUTION NO. 107-1996 CONFIRMING ASSESSMENT FOR EAST RIVER ROAD IMPROVEMENT PROJECT N0.

(TnIARD 2): Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this is a request for two variances to reduce the rear yard setback from 4fl feet to 33 feet and to reduce the front yard setback from 80 feet to 37 feet. The variances are requested in order to a11ow construction of additions ta the Miller Funeral Home at 6210 Highway 65 N.E. If the variances are approved, the petitioner wi11 construct a 30.5 foot by b6 foot addition to the west of the principal building and construct a 22.7 foot by 60 foot addition on to the garage located in the rear of the property. The hardship indicated by the petitioner is that they need arrangement offices, business offices, casket showroom, and storage. Mr. Hickok stated that the proposed addition is 2F013 square feet and does not impact the sight lines of adjacent properties. The garage addition will be used far vehicle and. casket storage. The Appeals Commission voted unanimously to r�commend approval with four stipuiatians �hai he outlined. Staff recommends concurrence with the Appeals Commission's recommendation. Councilman Schneider stated that he daes not have an issue with the front yard variance, but he is concerned with the garage expansian. �n a previous request there was visual impact to the adjacent residential neighborhood. Mr. Hickok stated After discussing variance request. reviews. that staff received one call from a Mrs. Jasper. this proposal with her she c�aas opposed to the The other 24 peti.tian respondents had mixed Councilman Schr�eider stated �hat he was cancerned i.f the petitioner has reached the point where they have outgroum this parcel of land.

The offer was made to plant trees in his yard to which he responded favorably. Councilman Schneider stated ��at his biggest concern is the residents. If a petition was submitted and was supported by a majority of the residents, he would look at this request in a be�ter light. ' Mr. Lexvold stated that this was what they tried to accomplish with the letter, but he is not apposed to doing this again. Counczlman Billings asked where this process would be in terms of the sixty-day rule. Mr. Hickok stated that if Mr. Lexvoid agrees for this item to be tabled, it will go beyond th� sixty-day limit. The petitioner would need to recognize this and to request an extension beyond the sixty days. Councilman Billings felt that in addition to Mr. Lexvold's request for an extension, there should be a letter written by the City acknowledginq the request.

Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she and Councilwoman Jorgenson, along with John Flora, attended a meeting last week on the East River Road sidewalk. About twenty people attended, representing sixteen properties. The residents on the west side, where the sidewalk is proposed, raised several concerns about having it at this location. Their concern was mainly that they would lose property, however, it was made clear that there are easements there. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that before Council takes any action, she wanted the residents notified. The County should be advised that the Council is reviewing this issue and will contact them when action is taken. She felt this needed to be on the agenda soon and she has no problem with it being on the next meeting, if possible. A letter should be sent to the County indicating it would be brought before the Council on November 25. All the residents who were originally notified should be sent a notice even though they did not attend the neighborhood meeting. Staff should draft a resolution including the sidewalks on the west side of East River Road. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that about sixteen people attend the meeting. Half were in favor of the sidewalk and half were against it. Several residents were not definitely opposed to having the sidewalk but were concerned how close it would be to their property. The County was going to work wifih them on this issue. One person was totally opposed to the whole East River Road project. Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that staff is working to have a light installed by the trestle, and additional information will be forthcoming.

MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to remove from the table and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE;'CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE I�TION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:52 P.M. Ms. McPherson stated the subject parcel is located at the intersection of 83rd Avenue and University Avenue N.E. on the west service road. Located to the west is Springbrook Apartments of Northtown which is zoned R-3, General Multiple Family Dwelling. Located to the north is Wal-Mart which is zoned C-2, General Business. The property to the east is currently vacant. To the south of the parcel is the Moose Lodge and the Northwest Orthopedics Building. The subject parcel is zoned C-2, General Business. The proposed development is a 108-unit senior independent living apar�ment building. It is placed on the site in an "L"-shaped configuration. The-building is proposed to be four stories in heigh� with one-story for underground parking. Above 5:01 PLANNING C��IISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 6, 1996 pA�GE Q ground surface parking spaces are located in front of the building. The building is oriented to the southeast toward the service drive. Two main entrances will be off the service drive. Ms. McPherson stated the Appeais Commission at their last meeting reviewed a variance request to reduce the side yard setback from 25 feet down to 15 feet for the north property line. The Appeals Commission recommended to the City Council approval of the variance request contingent upon approval of the wetland replacement plan. Ms. McPherson stated homes for the elderly are permitted in the C-2 district. The Planning Com�nission is considering the filling and replacing of wetlands on the site by the petitioner in order to do this development. The delineation of the boundary of a Type 5 wetland was done by Pat Arlig and Associates. Type 5 wetlands are typically indicated as being shallow (less than 10 feet deep) with a border of cattails, reeds, dogwoods and other associated wetland shrubs. Typically, Type 5 wetlands are not associated with a lake or river and typically have a sandy bottom. The site also indicates evidence of historic fill on the property and the wetland. edge is very uneven. Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner is permitted to fill up to 5,000 square feet without replacement and anything over that needs to be replaced. The impact area is .21 acres or 9,356 square feet. Subtracting 5,000 square feet leaves an area of 4,356 square feet to be replaced. The petitioner is proposing to create 13,333 square feet which is approximately 3 times the area of impact. The minimum replacement ratio is 2:1. Ms. McPherson stated the way that the petitioner is proposing to mitigate this impact is by creating areas of wetland along the south part of the property. The variance to locate the building as close to the north property line allows a greater mitigation area along the south edge of the building. In addition, with the new changes in 1995, the proposed retention basin is also eligibie for credit. The petitioners are proposing to create the required storm water detention area but, instead of having a dry area in front of the building, they will be retaining water at a certain level so the area will remain wet. Ms. McPherson stated, in the area adjacent to the building, while it is indicated to be filled, the petitioner is proposing to minimize the amount of fill such that the wetland would not be completely fill in, but would be changed from Type 5 to Type 6 which is more of a shrub type wetland and slightly dryer. Ms. McPherson stated, iri terms of�the grading plan, the'storm water is proposed to run off the parking and hard surface areas to'enter ' S.02 PLANNING CO�IISSION MEETING, NaNE1�ER 6, 1996 PA�GE 3 into the retention pond through a series of pipes and scuppers. A series of controlled access points would collect debris. Water would at a certain elevation flow out of the detention area into the wetland area. From the wetland area, the water could flow out of an outlet pipe along 83rd Avenue to flow to the south or it can continue on a natural drainage course west into the drainage ditch along 83rd and then into Springbrook Nature Center. Ms. McPherson stated the consultant, Peterson Environmental, assisted staff in reviewing the request and have agreed that this does comply with State statute and with ordinance requirements. Staff recommends approval of the wetland replacement plan to the City Council with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall submit monitoring information to the City on June 1 of each year, from 1998 until 2003. 2. The petitioner shall submit the plant list for MnDOT seed mix 25A to staff for review. Ms. McPherson stated she has already r�ceived the plant list and it appears to be satisfactory. Mr. Sielaff asked if staff was saying the retention pond is included in the 3:1 ratio. Ms. McPherson stated yes. Under the new rules established in 1995, retention ponds receive partial credit for mitigation. Mr. Sielaff stated the partial credit brings the overall credit to 3:1. Ms. McPherson stated yes. Mr. Sielaff stated staff had stated the petitioner would change a Type 5 wetland to a Type 6 wetland. What does that mean? Is the retention basis a Type 6? Ms. McPherson stated the retention basin is just that. The area behind the building now has open water. An area must be filled completely because thai is where the basement of the building is going to be. When that portion is filled, they will be filling it with the hydric soils that are there�and this area will be planted with more shrub-type materials which is considered Type 6 wetland as opposed to the open water Type 5. Mr. Sielaff asked how many acres of this wetland are not being modified? He does not have a sense of how big the total wetland is currently. 5.03 PLANNING CON�IISSION MEETING NOVEMBER 6 1996 pp,GE 4 Mr. Melcher stated the area is less than one acre. This is a fairly small site. There are certain rules that come into play as of a certain size. The area was smaller than those rules. The wetland area is .21 acres. The entire area is probably three times greater than what is being impacted. Mr. Sielaff stated they were then impacting about 25�. Mr. Melcher stated yes. Mr. Sielaff asked if by making those modifications it changes-the type . - Ms. McPherson stated yes. Changing where the water is and where the hydrology is in relation to the surface soil as well as the plant materials changes the type. Mr. Sielaff asked if they were changing the depth. Mr. Melcher stated yes. They are talking about the fringe. In looking at the grading plan, you will see some fairly close together lines in that area. The thought is to build an area that is a transition from the building, providing a slope, and then the wetland. They are looking to create a 20-foot area for a buffer zone for that transition. That area is partially architectural design and par�ially wetland design. The buffer zone would be wetland with dogwood type of plantings that would flower. There may be some trees and evergreens. Mr. Sielaff asked what sort of wetland it is will depend a great deal on how much water is in there. He is hearing that the petitioner will be filling in an area, putting in vegetation, and then saying they have changed the type of wetland. Mr. Melcher stated, by definition, this is true. Mr. Sielaff stated he would assume the vegetation is not native. The petitioner is just putting it in there. Does that mean the vegetation on the rest of the wetland will be changed? Are we really getting a Type 6 wetland? Mr. Melcher stated the vegetatian over time may change. Nature will take its course. The only way a Type 5 will occur is if the elevation is re-established. Mr. Sielaff asked if the elevation of the water is changed. Mr. Melcher stated yes. ' S:04 PLANNING COl�lISSION MEETING, N0�7EMBER 6, 1996 PAGE 5 Mr. Sielaff stated the other modifications and additions will be at a certain elevation that we think will be a Type 6. Ms. McPherson stated the replacement is proposed to be at the same elevation as the existing Type 5. Mr. Sielaff stated there are currently two types of wetlands there now. Mr. Melcher stated yes. There will be more open water like �uhat is there now. There are two types of wetZands there now and they are replacing the two types. They are putting a Type 6 along the border and the water further from the building. The only structure is the storm water pond which is 2.5 feet higher than the normal water level for a Type 5. The outlet pipe would be at the normal elevation for the wetland this summer. Ms. McPherson stated it happens in na�ure. If you look at a � wetland, it is not all the same. You have types that blend together depending upon where the open water is. If there is a bit more elevation to the soil along that edge, it will be dryer which will harbor dryer wetland plants. Sometimes the delineations blur where the types blend together. They are trying to create a dryer wetland along the fringe area that is still a wetland but a different type. Mr. Sielaff stated, when we.did the inventory of wetlands, a particular wetland was classified as one type. Mr. Melcher stated that is how Board of Water and Soil Resources (BOWSR) would look at it also. To define this zone and the way to approach it is that it is easier to describe the area by saying it will be a Type 6. BOWSR will look at it as one wetland. We look at it as different types. Mr. Sielaff stated one issue on replacement is whether we should have replacement of the same type. Mr. Melcher stated technically the wetland is a Type 5. Along the fringe, the wetland will be a Type 6. They are altering the elevation. Ms. McPherson stated BOWSR just asks where the line is between wet and dry. Mr. Sielaff stated the first stipuTation requires the petitioner to submit monitoring information to the City. What kind of monitoring information is required? 5.05 PLANNING CObSriISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 6, 1996 PAGE 6 Ms. McPherson stated the statute requires water elevation and photo vegetation information to document how the vegetation is responding and to verify that the water elevations are being maintained at the proper level. This must be reported on an annual basis.• Mr. Sielaff asked if the petitioner must monitor once per year or more frequently. Ms. McPherson stated the City can require them to monitor three times per year and report once per year. No specific standards are set in the statute. It just says this has to be checked, monitored and reported to the City. Mr..Sielaff asked how this is enforced. Has the City determined what the monitoring requirements are and how they are to be reported? Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner does have to receive a permit to do the alteration work and the City will retain a bond for five years to ensure that, if there is a problem for reporting and/or monitoring, the City can correct any problems that are being evidenced by the monitoring and reporting or their faiiure to do the reporting. She has not detailed exactly what type of information the petitioner will have to submit to the City. They can work together before the City Council meeting and work that out. Ms. McPherson stated they did something similar with the Wal-Mart proposal. Wal-Mart's was a little more extreme in that the City actually had them do water quality testing. That is not required as part of the State statute on this. We need to look at elevations and plant growth. The City did hold their bond through the monitoring period and released the bond when there was no impact. Mr. Kondrick asked how deep the retention ponds would be? Is it set up so that, when it fills with water, it will then drain into the wetland area? Will that in fact hold a lot of water? Ms. McPherson stated the retention pond is set up to drain into the wetland. The pond will have water in it. It will hold up to eight feet of water based on the contours. Because it is a storm water pond, there is a restrictive flow pipe so it does have to contain water and can only release it at a certain speed so it does not overpower the system down stream. The inlet pipes coming off the two parking lots are at�an elevation of 868. The bottom of the detention area is 862. The outlet pipe to the wetland area is at 863. Mr. Melcher would have to indicate how much water would be . s.os PLANNING CO�IISSION MEETING, NOVENIBER 6, 1996 PAGE 7 held in the retention pond at any given time. Mr. Melcher stated the bounce is 1.2 feet. The deepest part is six feet. The average is about 3.5 feet of water. There will be a liner in the pond. With the soils on site, the water would percolate into the ground. They have talked about putting in a sprinkler or fountain. He did not know if this would be done. If you must have storm water, it is nice to have something that people can look at and enjoy. Mr. Weispfenning stated he is representing Noah's Ark. He thought this would be a very good project and an attractive building. The retention pond will be an amenity, and he hopes to get a flowing fountain which keeps the water cleaner. As Mr. Melcher has explained, this water system should work. They have done this before in Mounds View. They have a similar situation there where they created a retention pond that overflowed into a natural wetland area which worked out well. He thought the City would be happy with it. Ms. Savage asked if the pe�itioner had any problems with the stipulations. Mr. Weispfenning stated he had no problems. If that is what is required to keep going, then certainly that is what they will abide by. Mr. Me�.cher stated they had already talked about a lot of the things. There are a lot of things here they don't normally have. They don't normally have a wetland that is in such a tough spot. That made it difficult to make project go. With the water on three sides and with the landscaping, it will make this an attractive building. The finishes that were selected will also make it attractive. Their project in Mounds View is at Highway 10 and County Road I which is a three-story building. When you drive into the parking lot, one can see the sidewalks that go all the way around. They also have a Type.6 wetland there as well. They do that because they are close to the building with an underground garage and they don't want the water to get in their. A Type 6 is a dryer wetland. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVA+GE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:25 P.M. Mr. Kondrick stated he saw no problem. He drove by the building in Mounds View. It is similar to what they are proposing here. He is 5.07 PLANNING CONMISSION MEETING, NORTEMBER 6, 1996 PAiGE 8 concerned about the water that flows into Springbrook. He thought they had done what they could to protect that. Water quality is always a concern. He thought the petitioner had gone through the hoops. Ms. Modig stated she had no problems. Mr. Sielaff stated he would like to tighten up the monitoring and reporting. Mr. Melcher stated they have submitted something on monitoring. What they submitted is the typical standards that BOWSR requires._ It lists about eight different things that have to be done including pictures taken from the same spot on the same date every year. In that way, they can see the improvements. Mr. Sielaff stated he thought that was good, but he would like to see explicitly stated what the petitioner is required to do so that everyone knows. Ms. McPherson stated she would formulate the stipulation with specific written guidelines in the rules for the City Council. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to recommend approval of a Wetland Replacement Plan„ WR #96-01, by Noah's Ark, to fill 9,356 square feet of type PEMC wetland and replace with the same on site; 83rd and University Avenue, with the following stipulations: 1.

The request is for the vacant 3.2 acre parcel located at the intersection of 83'� Aveneu and the West University Avenue Service Drive. Approximately .17 acres of wetland will be filled. The tatal area of the wetland on site is .72 acres (24°� of the wetland will be filled). SUMMARY OF lSSUES The petitioners have submitted the informatio� required under Section 205.27 entitled °Wetlands" and under the 1995 amendments to the Wetland Conservation Act. Peterson Environmental, the City `s consultant, reviewed the petitioner's proposal, and found that if complies with the ordinance, the Aet, and the amendments. The petitionec proposes to mitigate the impact on site by expanding the wetland along 83� Avenue, along the south side of the proposed building. In addition, some Type 5 wetland will be converted to Type 6 wetland. With the 1995 amendments, the petitioner can counf partial i credit for the proposed retention pond designed to address the stormwater runoff from the ' site. Also eligible for credit is the wetland fringe around the created wetland area. The total mitigation area equals .34 acres, twice the impact area. - The petitioner will be required to monitor the wetland for 5 years after construction of the ; , wetland to insure tha# it functions properly. The created wetland will be seeded with a - � combination of existing wetla�d soil and MnDOT seed mix 25A. Staff reviewed this mix and it is satisfactory. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: The Pianning Commission voted unanimousiy to recommend approval of the request to the City Cour�cil with the stipulations recommended by staff {Page 5 of report). The minutes of the meeting and the body of the report reflect different impact and mitigation numbers; however, the amount of impact has decreased (.21 acxes to .17 acres). RECOMMENDATION � The proposed wetland replace�nent plan, .as amended, meets the ordinance and Statute requirements. Staff recommends that the City,Council approve the attached resolution approving the replacement plan, WR #96-01; with one stipulations. �� '6.01 RESOLUTION NO. - 1996 RESOLUTION APPROVING A WETLAND REPLACEMNT PLAN , WR #96-01, BY NOAH'S ARK, GENERAtLY LOCATED AT 83RD AND UNIVERSITY AVENUES.

The petitioner is proposing to construct a 108 unit senior independent living apartment building. The building is proposed to be four stories in height, with one level dedicated to underground parking. There will be 72 underground parking spaces, and 30 surface parking spaces, with 12 additional "proof of parking" spaces. The building will contain a combination of one and two bedroom units. The building will be subsidized, therefore 40% of the units will be targeted to seniors with incomes of less than $30,000 ($26,220 for 2 person households, $22,920 for 1 person households). Site Description/History The subject parcel is located in the northwest comer of the intersection of 83rd Avenue and the West University Avenue Service Drive. Located north of the property is Wal- Mart. Located west of the property is Springbrook Apartments at Northtown. The subject parce! is zoned C-2, General Business District. Homes for the elderly are a permitted use in the C-2 district. The property is currently vacant. The most recent land use request for the parcel was in 1988 in which a car dealership was proposed for the property. A Type 5 wetland exists along the westerly property line. Approximately 2.1 acres of this wetland is proposed to be filled. In addition to the wetland replacement plan, the petitioner is processing a variance to reduce the rear yard setback from 25 feet to 15 feet, and a zoning text amendment to provide specific parking ratios for senior housing and care facilities. ANALYSIS The Type 5 wetland to be impacted is located along the westerly property line. Type 5 wetlands are inland fresh water, and are characterized as being shallow (<10 feet deep), and fringed by a border of emergent vegetation (cattails, reeds, dogwoods, and other associated shrubs). This wetland is Palustrine (not associated with a lake or a river) in nature, with and has a sandy bottom which is intermittently exposed. The edge of the wetland is wavy. The site exhibits evidence of historic fill occurrences. , . 6.05 Staff Report WR #96-01, by Noah's Ark Page 4 The petitioner will be fiiling a total of 9,356 square feet of wetland. The 1995 amendments #o the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act increased the deminimus fit! permitted from 400 square feet to 5,000 square feet in counties with greater than 50°% of their wetiands remaining. The petitioner, therefore, would be required to replace 4,356 square feet. At a minimum, this must be replaced at a rate of 2:1. The petitioner is proposing a replacement of 93,330 square feet, just over three times the impact area. As required by Statute, the petitioner has submitted the wetland delineation, and a replacement plan for review by the Cify. Staff was assisted in the review of the replacement plan by Mike Graham of Peterson Environmental, and the Board of Water and Soil Resources for interpretation of the new statutes The petitioner is required by statute to do "sequencing"; determining if the project can avoid the wetland, and impact minimization (see attached narrative from Ulteig Engineers). The petitioner has attempted to minimize impact to the wetland by minimizing the footprint, moving the building as far to the east and north as setbacks allow (variance to the rear yard setback is requested), and reducing the amount of grading required. The petitioner proposes to mitigate the impacts by creating the 13,330 square feet on site in three ways 1. Expanding the wetland in finro locations; adjacent to the west side of the building, and along the south side of the building. These finro areas will provide 7,485 square feet of mitigation area. 2. Creation of a retention pond (one that remains wet) on the property for stormwater controL The amended statute gives 75°h credit for retention basins of this nature. This area will provide 5,848 square feet of mitigation area. This basin, while conneeted to the wetland, will not "drain" into the wetland, water will enter from the bottom of the retention basin, allowing pollutants to settle into the retention pond. 3. Converting some of the Type 5 wetland edge to Type 6, a shrub swamp. This will allow planting of more shrubby materials. These areas, while now being considered as impact areas, may be candidates for "no loss" determinations by the City. s.�s Staff Report WR #96-01, by Noah's Arlc Page 5 The petitioner will cxeate the wetland by e�CCavating the upland areas indicated above. Wetland soils to provide a seed bank for ttne wetland will be spread over the excavated areas. The petitioner will be ret�uired to monitor the wetland areas for five years. The petitioner will submit an annu�l monitoring report #o the City in accordance with the Statute. Staff requests that the p�titioner submit the Minnesota Department of Transportation Seed Mixture Type 25A se�d lisi for staff review. Peterson Environmental agrees that the w�tland replacement plan complies with the State Statute and ordinance requirements.� The proposed development meets all othet zoning district requirements. RECOMMENDATION ' Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the wetland replacement plan WR #96-01 to the City Cbuncil with the following stipulations: 1: The petitioner shal) submit monitorirlg information to the City on June 1 st of each year from 1998 until 2003. � 2. The petitioner shall submit the plant'��� list for MnDOT seed mix 25A to staff for review. PLANNING COMMiSSION ACTION ' The Planning Commission voted unanimou�siy to recommend approval of the request to the City Council with the stipulations recomlmended by staff. The Commission, however, requested that the monitoring det�ils be specified in the stipulation for reView by the City Council. '�, STAFF UPDATE The Anoka Conservation District reviewed the wetland replacement plan and determined that the Statute does not allow �he 5,000 square foot deminimus fill area for Type 5 wetlands. The engineer for the peti�ioner revised the replacement plan to meet the Statute requirements. ' ��7 Staff Report WR #96-01, by Noah's Ark Page 6 The changed replacement plan inciudes raising the buifding to reduce #he impact by requiring less fill. The impact area was reduced from 9,356 square feet (.21 acres) to 7,337 square feet (.17 acres). The required mitigation area is 14,662 square feet. The mitigation area is pro�ided�by: 1. A newly created wetland (7,441 square feet). 2. Credit for the stormwater pond {5,848 square feet). 3. Fringe area around the new wetland (1,373 square feet). The mitigation area meets the required mitigation area CtTY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATiON Staff recommends that the City Council approve the wetland replacement plan, WR #96-01 by Noah's Ark with the following stipulation: 1. The petitioner shall submi# monitoring information to the City on June 1� of each year from 1998 unti12003. The moni#oring information shali include the following: a.

Fridley Independent Living At Northtown UEI Project No. 96725 Dear Ms. McPherson: In response to the. lette� by Mr. Mike Graham, Peterson Environmental Consulting, Inc. dated September 23, 1996 on the WCA Replacement Plan, please find the following. IMPACTED WETLAND SECTION 1. Applicant: Noah's Ark of Minnesota, Inc. 3434 Lexington Avenue N St. Paul, NIl�i 55126 Attn: Mr. GaYy Bidne 2. Enclosed is a copy of the USGS map for the area. 3. Mr. John Wilczek, Aeaistant City Engineer, stated that this site is within Six Cities Watershed District: 1� 4. we estimate the wetland impact would be about 0:�'acres, conaidering the avoidance measures described herein. 5. we have consulted with Pat Arlig, Arlig Environmental, who performed the wetland delineation_ She was agreeable to making this change, to Circular 39 Type 5, and NWI type PUBG. . 6. Fridley Independent Li.ving is proposed as affordable housing for seniors. A project such as this requires a multi-story building, and typically somewhere in the range of 100 �0 110 units to attain a low enough rent structure to meet the criteria set forth for these projects. Due to �he above, the footprint was established, as well. as the building height, which wae maximized. This building footprint was then laid out within the boundaries of the lot, matching the setback requirements. The building was shifted several times to minimize wetla.nd impacts on the west. ,�•` ' • , �c ' f �o� � ��� FAUAf. OPPORTUNI7'Y F.IyPiAYER s. �s _ OCT-0?-1996 16�00 ULTEIG ENGINEERS INC 612 571 1168 P.02iO3 City of Fridley UPi No. 96725 Fridley Independent Living 10-7-96 As the existing wetland extended out in�o the proposed buiTding footprint, and the building called for a level of underground parking for the reaidents to be located beneath the building, we proposed that fill be introduced into part of the wetland to create a new wetland type, and assist in providing some barrier between the garage level and the wetland (see Cross- Section No. 2). The building has been shifted as far north and east as setbacks allow, to minimize wetland impacts. Grading around the northwest corner of the building has been revised to minimize wetland impacts (see enclosed partial grading plan). The proposed grades around the weat and northwest ends of the building were lowered from finish floor elevation of 880.o to an elevation of 875.0 to minimize the impact to the existing wetland. This change required the addition. of a retaining wall around the patio located at the northwest corner of the building, with additional cost asaociated. We have also revised the grading plan to refl�ct our telephone conversation of today. The Type 6 wetland fringe to be established along the eastern perimeter of the existing wetland will be defined as the area between the 865.5 and the 866.5 elevation. The elevation of 865.5 was the approximate level of the water within the existing wetland at the time of our survey. Note that the proposed outlet from the stormwater/created wetland area located due south of the building is 865.5, so as to not disturb the water level of the existing wetland. We will be aubmitting a revised wetland replacement plan which incorporates.these changes to the grading plan. 7. We understand that a Corps of Engineers Section 404 Clean water Acr, permit will be required. REPLACEMENT WETLAND SEC2ION e. Question 2- Revise wetland replacement to PUBG for Nwz, and to Type 5 for Circular 39. The stormwater pond area at the NWL is about 0.17 acres. If we were given 100a credit for this area, that would be 0.17 acres. At 750 credit, that would be 0.133 acres. 9. Question 3- Legal Description - Lot 2, Block 1, Springbrook Apartmente at Northtown, Anoka County, Minnesota 10. Question 9- Encloaed are the profile views of �he existing and proposed wetland, and stormwater pond/ Page 2 6.y7 OCT-07-1996 16=00 ULTEIG ENGINEERS INC 612 571 1168 P.03iO3 City of Fridley Fridley Independent Living 10-7-96 UEI No. 96725 mitigation wetland with approximate normal water level, and wetland boundaries. The fixed photo reference points will be indicated on �he wetland replacement plan. 11. Question 10 - Wetland mitigation would consist of extensio� of the exieting wetland around the southern part of the building from the west. This wetland would provide aevexal ahallow ponding areas, as well as an opportunity to introduce more diversity in the wetland plantings. A second mitigation area would be created in the form of partial credit Eor the stormwater pond, as allowed by the new wefiland legislation of 1996. � 12. Question �2 -:;The monitoring plan we propose to use would parallel that by WCA Rules 8420.0620, Subpart 2. in summary, we would provide an annual report, and other site-specific information ae identified by the LGU: itema A through E as required by the LGU. GENERAL CO�NTS 2. See the enclosed cross-section of the 'I�rpe 6 wetland fringe proposed for along the eastern perimeter of the existing wetland. Also, see the enclosed highlighted area on the grading plan, defined by the elevations 865.5 to 866.5. To protect the existing wetland until final vegetative protection is established, we propose that �ilt fence be installed along that wetland perimeter whieh has disturbed soil upstreacn. As:required by the MPCA General Stormwater Permit, this silt fence will need to be maintained until final vegetatian is established, when it should be removed.

TO: Michele McPherson FROM: Mike Graham�"� ` DATE: September 23, 1996 SUBJECT: Ultieg Engineering/Ark Development WCA Replacement Plan Springbrook Apartments at Northtown Michele: I have provided the following questions and comments on the WCA Wetland Replacement Application dated September 13, 1996 submitted by Ultieg engineering. Some of these items may seem minor and tedious but the WCA rules at 8420.0530 - Replacement Plan Components require that the applicant provide the information. l. Need applicant address and phone number information. Impacted Wetland section: 2. Question 1- Need a larger location map showing at least a one or two mile radius around the project site - I suggest a U.S.G.S. map. 3. Question 2- The site is very close to Rice Creek Watershed District. Has it been verified whether the site is inside or outside the Watershed District? - Provide a legal description of the project site. 4. Question 3- The size of the wetland impact is 0.21 acre--this was not provided. 5. Question 4a - the Circular 39 type is Type 5 and the NWI type is probabiy closest to PUBG. 6. Question 10 - We need at least a brief written description of the nature of the project. Perhaps something like this has already been submitted to the City. Pertinent information includes the project need and purpose and reasons for why the wetland mus# be filled as proposed (setbacks etc.). Because the project impacts less than 10,000 square feet more Page 1 �y�� than the de minimis amount of 5,000 square feet, we can provide an "on-site" sequencing determination if we agree that the plan has avoided and minimized wetland impacts to the degree feasible and prudent. I would agree that the applicant has done this, but would like some explanation as to why the fill area in the northwestern portion of the site (Wetland Fill Area #1) can't be reduced somewhat. 7. Question 12 - other permits/approvals which should be listed include the Corps of Engineers Section 404 Clean Water Act permit. Replacement Wetland section: 8. Question 2- Change to PUBG for NWI type and Type 5 for Circular 39 type. Also, indicate the amount of credit being praposeu for the storm wat�r pond (0.13 acre). 9. Question 3- Insert the legal description. 10. Question 9- We need profile views and fixed photo reference points of the mitigation areas. 11. Question 10 - As noted on the application, we will need a written description of the mitigation plan. This should include an indication of the storm event (10, 25 year etc.) that would be contained by the storm water pond. 12. Question 12 - As noted, we will need a monitoring plan. The contents of the plan are listed in WCA Rules 8420.0620 Subp. 2-Report content. Under "Special Considerations"--the marks under "No" should be changed to "N" meaning that �Teither the impact or replacement site has the condition indicated. Question 9 should be "B" under the "Yes" box. General Comments: 1. Although it would not have made a significant difference on this site, the report prepared by the wetland consultant sta.tes that the 1989 Federal Manual for ldentifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands was used along with the 1987 Manual. The 1989 Manual is no longer used by any regulating bodies in the state of Minnesota. 2. We need some detail on the areas behind the building where Charlie indicated the bottom eievation of the PUBG wetland would be raised to create some PSS (scrub/shrub) wetland. If this is still proposed, we need to see a plan view of where these areas would be and a cross-sectional drawing showing the existing and proposed wetland bottom and the normal water elevation. We would need to review this information and decide if we , . can make a"no loss" determination on this activity per 8420.0220. 6.25 � .- AUG-01-1996 08�49 ULTEIG ENGINEERS INC Post-ir s�aF rvuie � u� � �—� � �� /y� / � S From •���///C/� Co./DeAt• w�/iin� J � ' CD Phone n Phone � S7� —� 5� �# r.� � ran v S%% � S S=✓" � ` t �` � � Report To: From: Mr. Gary Bidne Ark Development Susan J.

The NWI map shows the subject wetland on tlie site is designated as P1�'DIBd Field investigation began by obseiving the vegetation and dr�inage pattertis. The pt�eliminsry � wedand edges were determined based on v�etation. The soils were tested b,y digging holes to a depth of at least 24" using a namow bladed shovel at uplaad and wetland locations. A soil probe with a 3/4" opening was used to verify soil conditions azound the wetland perimeter, Soil colors were determined by matching them to a Mwisell Soil Color Chart The edge of the wettand is usually determined to be near the point where subsurface wat�er is within 12" �of the ground elc,wation and where wetland vegetation and hydric soils are encountered Soil samples were observed at points well inside the wetland, at the wetland edge, and iirto the upland zone. Water was eacountered in the soil pits' 8 inches from the surface near the wetland edge, 'The soii exhibited severai hydric charaateristics: low chroma, mottles, and organics. In addition, the s.26 AUG-81-1S96 08�50 ULTEIG ENGINEERS INC 612 571 1168' P.02 trees in the wetland area were multi-fisnked and several were dead or dyin�. The te.st holes were refilled. Wire stakes numbered 1 tluough 24 were piaced at the delineated wetlaad edge. The flags were placed at the determined edge using ali three criteria; hydrophytic vegetation, hydric soils, and hydrology. Physical characteristics such as change in �ade and deposits of debris were also vsed to determine the wetland edge. Data Forms - Routine Onsite Determination Method were completed foY conditions at the wetiand The wetland on the site is sepasated by a berm aear flag # 6. Basin #1 is the southecnmost portion of the wetland and Basin #2 is the northern portion. Basin # 1 is ma,rked with ilags # 1 through #6 along the south and east. The domitlam vegetation in the wetland is reed cana�y grass (FACW+), sedge(OBL) and ca.ttails (OBL). The edge of the u�✓ wettand is in a wooded area with vegctatio�n such as green ash (FACVi�, willows (FACV�, aspen �� (FAC) and buckthorn (FAC-) in addition tQ the c�eed canary.

If approved, the variance will allow the construction of an i 08 unit senior independent living building. SUMMARY OF ISSUES: Section 205.14.03.C.(3) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires a minimum rear yazd setback of 25 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide for adequate open azeas (green divider areas) around commercial structures, to maintain clear access for fire fighting, and to reduce the possibility of fire car�ying over onto adjacent properties. The subject parcel is located at the intersection of 83rd Avenue and the West University Avenue Service Drive. Located on the subject parcel is a Type 3 wetland located adjacent to the westerly lot line. A portion of this wetland will be filled in order to construct the four-story building with underground pazking. The petitioners are proposing to replace the filled wetland on site. In order to accomplish the on-site wetland mitigation and the required stormwater retention, the petitioners ha.ve located the building as close to the northerly lot line as possible. The property is a corner lot; as defined, the north lot line is the "rear yard". The area between the building and the north lot line, however, practically functions as a side yard than a rear yard. North of the subject parcel is the "rear yard" of the Wal-Mart Store. There is no impact to sight lines or green space by the requested variance. The proposed setback meets the side yard requirements for the G2, General Business District. The request is within previously granted variances. HARDSHIP STATEMENT: "In order to mitigate wetlands - building setback must be reduced." STAFF RECOMMENDATION�TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION: As the variance as requested is within previously granted requests, sta,fi has no recommendation for the Appeals Commission. If the Commission chooses to recommend approval of the request, staff recommends the following stipulation: 1. Wetland Replacement Plan, WR #9b-01, shall be approved. APPEALS COMMISSION ACTION: The Appeals Commission voted unani�tiously to recommend approval of the request to the City Council as recommended by staff. CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council concur with the Appeals Commission action. 7.01 StaffReport VAR #96-24, Noah's Ark of Nfinnesota Page 2 PROJECT DETAILS Petition For: A variance to reduce the rear yard setback from 25 feet to 15 feet Location of Property: Legal Description of Property: Size: Topography: Ezisting Vegetation: Eaisting Zoning/Platting: Availability of Municipat Utilities: Vehicuiar Access: Pedestrian Access: 83rd & University Avenues Lot 1, Block 1, Springbrook Apartments of Northtown 143,163 square feet; approximately 3.28 acres Mostly flat, evidence of fill, wetland along west edge of site Reed canary grass, aspen, willow trees, other wetland plants C-2, General Business; Springbrook Apartments of Northtown Available in 83rd Avenue 83rd Avenue, West University Avenue Service Drive N/A Engineering Issues: Stormwater, wetland replacement Site Planning Issues: Comprehensive Planning Issues: Public Hearing Comments: The Zoning and Comprehensive Plan are consistent in this area. 7.�2 Staff Report VAR #96-24, Noah's Ark of Minnesota Pa e 3 WEST: SOUTH: EAST: NORTH: REQUEST ADJACENT SITES Zoning: R-3, General Multiple Zoning: C-2, General Business Zoning: Unknown Zoning: C-2, General Business Land Use: Multi-Family Residential Land Use: Office Land Use: Spring Lake Park Land Use: Commercial Retail DEVELOPMENT SITE Noah's Ark of Minnesota, an non-profit organization, requests that a variance be granted to reduce the rear yard setback from 25 feet to 15 feet. If approved, the variance will allow the construction of an 108 unit senior independent living building. SITE DESCRIPTION/ffiSTORY The subject parc�l is located in the northwest corner of the intersection of 83rd Avenue and the West University Avenue Service Drive. Located north of the property is a Wal-Mart Store. Located west of the property is Springbrook Apartments at Northtown. The subject parcel is zoned C-2, General Business District. Homes for the elderly are a pernutted use in the C-2 district regulations. The property is cunently vacant. The most recent land use request for the parcel was in 1988 in which a car dealership was proposed for the property. A Type 3 wetland exists along the westerly property line. A portion of this wetland will need to be filled in order to construct the proposed building. The Planning Commission will review a wetland replacement plan in compliance with the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act and its 1995 amendments. Also related with this request is a zoning text amendment to provide specific parking stall ratios for a variety of senior facilities including apartment buildings, convalescent homes, and assisted living facilities. ANALYSIS Section 205.14.03.C.(3) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires a minimum rear yard setback of 25 feet. Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide for adequate open areas (green divider areas) around commercial structures, to maintain clear access for fire fighting, and to reduce the possibility of fire. The subject parcel is a corner lot. The code defines the shortest of the two street frontages as the front yard. In this case, 83rd Avenue is the shortest frohtage; therefore, the north property line is the rear yard. The building, as designed, utilizes the north lot line as a side yard as opposed to a rear yard. In order to provide adequate room for on-site wetland mitigation, the petitioner has located the building as close to the north lot line as 7.03 Staff Report VAR #96-24, Noah's Ark of Minnesota Page 4 possible. This provides adequate room for mitigation, parking, and retention ponding. If the north line was defined as the side yard, the proposed setback of 15 feet meets the 15 foot required side yard set forth in the C-2 district. North of the subject parcel is a truck parking azea and detention pond for Wal-Mart. There is ad�uate green area and access for emergency vehicles with the reduction in the setback. The request is within previously granted variances. STAFF RECOMNIENDATION TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION: As the variance as requested is within previously ganted requests, staff has no recommendation for the Appeals Commission. If the Commission chooses to recommend approval of the request, staff recommends the following stipulation: 1. Wetland Replacement Plan, WR #96-01, shall be appro�ed. A►PPEALS COMMISSION ACTION: The Appeals Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the City Council as recommended by staff.

Ms. McPherson stated this reque.st is to reduoe the rear yard setbadc from 25 feet to 15 feet This is a c�omer propeKy at Uie inte�tion ot g3rci Avenue and the West University Avenue servioe road. Wal-AA�t is rarth of the s�ject paroel, and sPr;ngbrook ,a�a,tments are to the west. The petitioner is pnoposing to oonsMac:t a 108-unit senior independerrt living building four staies in height with underground parfcing. Ms. McPherson stated that in addition to the variance request, the petitioner is requesting a wetland replacement plan. There is a Type 5 wetland located along the west property line which will be partially flled by the proposed building. Ms. McPherson stated that since this is a comer fot, it is a�ciassic case of the frorrt yard being the shorter of the two street frontages. Hovu�ever, the building is designed so tha# ihe front fundions as the easterly right-of-way line. tn the C 2, General gusiness District, the rear yard setbadc is 25 feet. The petitioner has designed the building facing the West University Avenue service drive with what would be considered the side of the building to the north and has reduced the setback aiong the nath from 25 feet to 15 fee#. Ms. McPherson stated #here are a couple of issues that require the location of the building in this position. Because the development weuld be affecting the type 5 wetland along the west property line, the developers are required to replace that wetland at a 2-to-1 ratio. They are proposing to do that by utilizing an upland area along the south property line. In order to maximize the amouni of replaoementt area, they have moved the building to the north as far as possible. In addition, the side yard setbadc in the C-2 district is 15 feet so it does meet the side yard setback. To the north is a detention pond for Wal-Mart and also a truck parking area. There is a g�een buFFer beiween the two. Ms. McPherson stated this request is within similar reques#s that the City has previously granted. Staff has no recommendation. If the Commission chooses to recommend approval of the request, staff recommends the following stipulation: 1. Wetland Replaoemerrt Plan, WR #96-01, sha11 be approved. Ms. McPherson stated the Wetland Replacemen# Plan was to have been reviewed by the Planning Commission at its last meeting. The petitioner was unable to attend so the request will be considered by the Planning Commission on November 6, 1996. This item will then go before the City Council at the end of November. Ms. Savage asked if there were any other agenaes that needed to review this request. Ms. McPherson stated that in teRr�s of the wetland replacemen# plan, the plan is required to be reviewed by the Department of Natural Resouroes {DNR), Anoka County Conservation District, Six Cities Watershed District, and notices sent to the adjacent cities. No comments from those agencies were received prior to the last Pianning Commission meeting.

Unfortunately, you� request did not arrive in time to be piaced on the November 4, 1996, City Council agenda. We wiii piace your request to waive the tempo�ary sign permit fees for a charitable organization on the November 25, 1996, City Council. This will allow you to display the sign from November 26, 1996, through December 23, 1996. I do not anticipate any difficulty with your request; however, please do not display any signs until I contact you after the November 25, 1996, City Council meeting. If you have any questions regarding this, please contact me at 572-3593. °Sincerely, Michele McPherson Planning Assistant MM:Is .� ,; : 1 � City of Fridley TO: Williarn W. Burns, City Manager �� � FROM: John G. F1ora,�Public Works Dixector DATE: November 25, 1996 SUBJECT: I&I Study PW96-2SS In September we sent out letters requesting proposals for an infiltration and in-flow (I&I) study of the City's and metropolitan sanitary waste lines. We received four responses. The responses received were reviewed by Jim Brindley, Paul Lawrence, Jon Wilczek and I. As a result of the review, we determined to interview three of the firms to obtain a clear appreciation of their submittals and to assist in making the final recommendation to the City CounciL On October 31 and November 1, 1996, we ca�ducted interviews with the three firms, TKDA, OSM and BRA Greg Kotsicic, Jim Brindley, Paul Lawrence, Jon Wilczek and I participated ut the interviews. - TKDA's pxoposal amounted to $88,492. OSM's proposal was $70,372. This included $20,400 for subcontractors for metering and testing support or an OSM bid of $49,972. BRA (Bonestroo, Rosene and Anderlik) had a proposal of $44,500. As a result of the interviews, it was the decision of the majority to recommend the firm of BRA to complete the City's I&I investigation. This investigation would consist of three major parts. Phase one would be the review of data and visitation with industries and groundwater clean out locations within the City to determine any unrecovered costs for sewage disposal. Phase two includes the analysis of the MCES meters upstream and downstream of the City to determine if there any errors in meter readings. Phase three consists of preparing a report and iecommendation of what azeas and locations far flow inspections within the City and the MCES interceptors to determine flow quantities if the major source of unaccounted water has not been defined. In addition, the BRA proposal proposes to have an initial meeting with the MCES staff to obtain their support of the plan of analysis and input to the sources of sewage disposal and the meter reading prooess. It is felt that through this method we should be able to obtain MCES buy-in to the project and hopefully accept the data as it is developed. In addition, the final phase would then provide us necessary documentation to initiate a separate contract, if it is desired to do an in-depth I&I study of flows within our pipes and the MCES system. Recommend the City Council approve the retention of Bonestroo, Rosene and Anderlik to complete the City's I&I study for a cost not-to-exceed $44,500. JGF:cz 9.01 City of Friclley TO: William W.

Well house No. 1 is an isolated location that provides water to the upper level system. This is our first and oldest structure and requires code improvements for chlorine and chemical feed as well as variable speed booster pump additions. We solicited bids and four finns responded. SEH was the low bidder to design the facility at $24,300. They also identified a cost of between $6,000 to $8,000 for construction and inspection once the contract has been awarded As it is important to comply with the health standards for a well house and to upgrade the system, recommend the City Council receive the bids and award the contract to SEH for the design of a new booster station well house facility at well No. 1 in the amount of $30,000.

This designation is predicated on ensuring large trucks access to the industrial area from University Avenue and I-694 without driving through residential neighborhoods. In designating this area, we have one State Aid street, MSAS 326 (3rd Street), between 49th and 53rd Avenues on which we propose to limit truck traffic as it does not compliment the truck traffic in this area. The attached resolution requesting the Commissioner of Transportation to approve the elimination of truck traffic use on MSAS 326 between 49th and 53rd Avenues was approved by the City Council at their November 25, 1996 meeting. Request this resolution be provided to the Commissioner and approved. If you require any additional information in this regard, please contact me at 572-3550. Sincerely yours, John G.

This action was adopted by the Board of the SRA as a means of expanding its membership to those cities that were interested in legislation and utility activities. It is hoped that through this temporary membership, that the organization would be able to grow. As a result of this action, the agreement establishing the SRA and its Bylaws need. to be changed to authorize temporary membership and activities in the organization An amended Joint Cooperative Agreement and Bylaws of the SRA have been prepared which incorporates the concept of temporary membership and allows them authority to vote to a limited degree but does not allow them to hold an office unless they become a permanent member.

PRIBYL, FINANCE DIRECTOR WATER RATE INCREASE DATE: November 21, 1996 Attached is both the legislation and a summary of pertinent data that is related to the proposed water rate increase. As you recall, this topic was discussed with Council at a Council Budget Work Session this past summer. During that session, the water quality concern was addressed; as a result of the meeting, it was decided that an additional filtration plant would be added to our water purification system. In order to pay for the cost of the new plant and the normal increase in operating costs, an increase in rates is necessary to keep the operation from running at a loss for 1997. In a survey of communities in the metro and outstate areas, it appears that our cost for water is among the lowest.

MEMORANDUM Municipal Center 6431 University Avenue Northeast Fridley, Minnesota 55432 {612) 572-3507 FAX: (612) 571-1287 Memo to: William W. Burns, City Manager ��� Wil(iam C_ Hunt Assistant to the City Manager From: William C. Hunt, Assistant to the City Manager �� Subject: Revision of Police Contract to Accoaimnodate Varying Shi€ts Date: November 20, 1996 Attached is a revision of the current labor agreement with the police officers to accommodate varying shifts. The proposed changes will make the contract adaptable to eight hour shifts, twelve hour shifts, a combination of both, or some other shift arrangement. In other words, the language of the contract has�been revised so that it will be indifferent to various possible shift arrangements. If, after a one year.experiment with twelve hour shifts, police administration decides to return to eight hour shifts it will not be necessary to make any changes in the labor agreement. Changes have been made to the following articles: 10.5 25.1 25.5 27.1 12.2 25.3 26.1 28 12.3 25.4 26.3 32 35 Most of the changes relate to the accrual of leave time based on an average eight hour working day and an average forty hour work week. The proposed change to article 32 is a technical adjustment relating to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. It wiil allow police administration to set a work period from seven to twenty- eight days. Currently, with the eight hour shifts a twenty-six day work period works out best. However, with twelve hour shifts it appears that a twenty-eight day work period would be better. The language change,gives administration the flexibility to adopt a , work period appropriate to whatever'shift arrangement is chosen. . 1 _ ; 1 Memo to William W. Burns November 20, 1996 Page 2 Representatives of Law Enforcement Labor Services have reviewed the changes and have agreed to their adoption. Since the language changes do not involve any changes in wages or benefits and do not represent any increase in the cost to the City, I have not made out the.customa.ry Uniform Settlement Form. I request that you present this consideration at their meeting recommendation for approval. contract to the City Council for of November 25, 1996, with the c: David Sallman, Director of Public Safety Gary Lenzmeier, Deputy Director of Public Safety Herbert Zimmerman, Police Lieutenant Lisa McConnell, Human Resources/Public Information Technician Cyrus F.

Andover, MN 55304 Geiltlerr�en: Mr. Walter Fehst City of Columbia Hei�hts 590 - 40�h Avenue N.E. Columbia Heights; MN 55421 While we have had several informal telephone conversations regarding a cooperative ven±ure for establishing a GIS Range Rider program that would benefit the cities of Fridley, Columbia Heights and Andover, I would like to offer something in writing. As you are aware, staff frorri the three cities have met several times with 3etry Happel, a consultant from Plan Sight which is lacated in Stillwater. Mr. �iappel has prepared a sco�e of work that a GIS firm may :complete for us through the Range �Zider concept in 1997. The scope of work, as my staff interprets it, is as follows: 1. Data Mai�7tenance: : The Range Rider would be responsible for organizing our existing data bases and writing a manual to be used by staff to access information. There are several different data bases they would be dealing with, including existing GIS data bases, other data bases that are not linked to the GIS software, and county, state and naiional data bases that may or may not be capable of linking to GIS software. As they organize the data bases, they ���ould make sure that they are in a condition that conforms to state and national standards, so that they are easily transferrable to other cities. My staff indicated that this work represents more than an inventory ofdata bases and documenfs, it is the preparation of tlie documentation manual and the cleaning up of our data so that it can be used properly for GIS purposes. We would 17.10 Mc-. Dick Pursman Mr. Walter Fehst August 1, 1996 Page 2 also expect the Range Rider to work with Anoka County to facilitate the shared use of Anoka County data. Up to this point, Anoka County has not been very forthcoming in the sharing of information. 2. Maintenance o B�rse Map: The second major task that the Range Rider consultant would.perform is the maintenance of our base maps. We all have base maps in one form or another. The Ranger Rider would update th� base maps and check for accuracy. 3. Custom Ap�lications: This is the third area of work. Each city has different custom application needs. In Fridley's case, we would be interested in the development of a one-step mailing list, developing linkages between the Police Departinent's record � keeping system and the GIS system, and linking our rental insp�ction data base to the � G1S system. 4. ' Training:, The fourth area of responsibility for the consultant would be that of - training. Our staff would need to be trained in using .the custom applications, updating the base map, plotting, laying out maps, and analyzing u�formation by using ArcView. In Fridley's case, I would expect most of the training would apply to three areas: engineering, community development and police. Once staffin those �epartments are accustomed to using GIS, we will be expanding into other areas. 5. Scope ofServices Proposal: We would e�cpect the Range Rider to develop a scope of services proposal for data gathering and input to our various GIS systems. In particular, we think that they should provide the scope of services that will enable us to gather data related to water, sewer, storm se��ver, and street related information. We also may want to include data gathering related to private utilities. Another task thai may be out of sequence is the analysis of our existing hardware, and the provision of advice related to networking our hard�vare so that the various user departments can talk to t�le GIS system. It seems logical that this would occur before we begin training employees. 17.11 .�•-. . , Mr. Dick I� ursmar� Mr. Walter Pellst August 1, 1996 Page 3 Our initial cost for this work is estimated at $40,000. I would like to suggest that we divide it three ways, with each city contribu#ing $13,333. In the event that we are successful in obtaining grant money, that amount could be reduced. Also, if Fridley is successful in getting a criminal justice grant that will enable us to tie the Police Department soflware to the GIS system, we will gladiy share the benefits of that grant program with Andovex and Columbia Heights. � I believe that this Range Rider concept that we are considering is a worthwhile concept; however, it will only be successful if all of us are satisfied that �ve are getting an equal amount of the consultant's time. The consultant should be asked to keep careful records on the time that he spends in the various communities, and each community should get approximately 17 weeks of the consultant's time. It also makes sense to believe that rather than proceeding to work communifiy by community, the consultant would woric task by task, so that he/she is spending time in each community throughout the year. As the budgets axe prepared for 1997; I am hopeful that the requisite money has bee� budgeted for ne�ct year. In my case, I will be using money that has been budgeted f�r an in- house GIS technician. I would .like to suggest that as a group, we all confer with our respective counciis and determine whether or not the budgeting for a shared GIS Range Rider is something that we can agree to. If that is the case, I would like to have a legal agreement prepared that will contractually establish our organizational relationship. After you have had a chance to consider the proposal and consult �vith your city councils, please let me know if you ��ould like to proceed with this matter.

Special Projeds cC: �ave Sallman, Diredor of Public Safeiy Dat� November 21,1996 Re: Local Law Enforoemerrt Biodc Grarrt In September of 1996, we were notified by the Office of Justice Assistance that Fridley would be awarded $18,506 under the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program {LLEBG). No application was required prior to the award; however, iii order to receive the funds, an award document needed to be signed and several special conditions needed to be met. Although the funds could be used for numerous purposes Iisted in the guidelines, the award required the establishment of an advisory board who in tum would make non- binding recommendations on how the funds would be allocated. On November 20, the board met and made the recommendation that the funds be used for officer overtime to be directed at crime control and curfew enforcement. After those recommendations were made, the award conditions also require a public hearing to be held regarding the proposed use of Block Grant funds prior to the obligation of the funds. Publication of the public hearing notice took place in the November 20, 1996, issue of the Focus. I am at this time requesting to bring tlus issue before the regular City Council meeting on November 25. At that time, I will make a brief presentation outlining the grant and its intended use based on the advisory board's recommendation, and provide the public an opportunity to give input. Once this issue is discussed, we will then be authorized to utilize the funds. • Page 1 21:01 U.S. Department of Justice ,,�,W,,, a° *� Office of Justice Programs • � € Bureau of Justice Assistance �'�.4.,�•�`� Nancy E.

Distribution of Awards The Director of BJA will set aside funds for units of lo- cal government within a State. The amounts will be pro- portionate to the State's average annual amount of Part 1 violent crimes, compared to that for all other States for the tluee most recent calendar years of data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. However, each State will receive a minimum awazd of .25 percent of the total amount available for formuta distribution under the Local Law Enforcement Block Grants Program.

Burns, City Manaqer � � From: William A. Champa, Citp Charter 8taff Liaison Subject: Amendment to Section 2.06.01 of the Fridley City Charter Date: November 21, 1996 At the September 1996 meeting of the Fridley Home Rule Charter Commission, the attached amendment to Section 2.06.01 of the Fridley City Charter was approved. This amendment is now recommended to the City Council for enactment by ordinance. At the October 14, 1996 City Council meeting, a public hearing on the amendment to Section 2.06.O1 of the Fridley City Charter was set for November 25, 1996. Accordingly, I request that you place this item on the agenda for consideration by the Fridley City Council at a public hearing to be held on November 25, 1996. A separate amendment to Section 2.06.01 was presented at the August 26, 1996 Council Meeting but �ailed the first reading because of a three-fifths vote. This new amendment to 2.06.01 removes the words "without good cause" and "any of" from the section. The Charter Commission chose not to add the words "due to incapacity" because they felt incapacitation was not the only case where a vacancy in Council might be declared. If they were to single out incapacity, the Charter Commission felt they would have to include every reason for declaring a vacancy. Attachments c: Charter Commission Members 22.� 1 ORDINANCS NO. AN ORDINANCE AMENDING BECTION 2.06.01 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CHARTER The City Council of the City of Fridley does hereby ordain as follows: That the following sections of the Fridley City Charter be amended as follows: CHAPTER 2 CITY COUNCIL ORGANIZATION Section 2.06. VACANCIES IN THE COUNCIL. 1.

In each such case, within thirty (30) days the Council shall by resolution declare a vacancy to exist. PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS DAY OF , 1996. WILLIAM J. NEE - MAYOR ATTEST: WILLIAM A. CHAMPA - CITY CLERK Public Hearing: November 25, 1996 Publication: November 14�& 21, 1996 22.�2 //d/ry.i ,i "�.1�\ ; /�7' V�� � �, s� „ ��:� �s `�"�`�'��': ,�ll���, ,.��,: Fridley Police Department Memorandum To: Bill Bums ��� From: Gary Lenzmeier Date: November 20, 1996 Re: Second Reading of Tobacco Ordinance The tobacco ordinance w�t before the Ciiy Council on November 4'� for the second reading. The Council decided to table the second reading until Novembea 25'�. They instn�cte� staff to make some changes in �e ordinance for that meeting. The attached draft of the ordinance has those changes included The first issue is in Chapter 12.06 Training. The Council wanted incluckd in the ordinance language mandatory training for the clerks provided by the lice�see. Tbey wanted to adopt the same language in the Fridley ordinance as they had seen in the praposed Hopkins ordinance. This language provides for the training and requires the licensee to cert�r at lic�se renewal that all clerks have been trained. The second issue is in Chapter 12.08 Administrative Offenses sections (d, e, �& g). This chapter removes the hearing responsibility from the City Council and gives a fust heazing responsibility to a hearing examiner. It thea creates the position of hearing examiner and defines �e responsibilities of the position. T6e defimtion for hearing examiner is very similaz to that of the hearing officer which is defined 'm the nuisance abatement ordinance. ff a person is not satisfied with the judgm�t of �e hearing examiner, �e chapter dces allow the person to go to the council for a hearing. The third issue is in Chapter 12.08 Administrative Ofi'enses secti� (c) aad Chapter 12.09 Violations section (b). This was to correct a problem created whe,n the position of hearing examiner was created The time line for a person to apply for a hearing �mder Chapter _ 12.08 section (d) is 20 days. Under 12.08 section (c) it describes paying the fine within "7 days:' That ne,eded to be changed to 20 days to allow for the appeal process in the next secti�. In 12.09 se,ction (b) the old language iridicated that if a fine is not paid within 7 days ` the City may suspend ti�e license to sell tobacco products. This change ext�ds that to 20 days to conespond with the language in the hearing examiner section. It c,hanges the language for the first and second violations. The final issue is in Chapter 12.09 Violations section (d). The non srnoking groups felt ti�at the language in the original ordinance was too restrictive and w�ould n� allow outside groups to come into Fridley to do compliance checks for research etc. The Council felt it would be all right if groups wanting to do compliance checks would be able to do them, but they requested the language be changed so they vu�ould need t� have approval of the Fridley Police Department before they did the c,hecks. The language is changed to accomnwdate that request. Staff recommends the-Council approve ti�is ordinance. 23.01 Ordinance No. AN ORDINANCE REPEALING CHAPTER 12 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY, AND ADOPTING A NEW CxAPTER 12, ENTITLED i�TOBACCO PRODUCTS�€ AND AMENDING CHAPTER 11 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE, ENTITILED �GENERAL pROVISIONS AND FEES�€ THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLI,OWS: 12.01.

MM/dw M-96-533 24.01 DATE: November 21, 1996 MEMOl�;ANDUM PLAr�NING DIVISION T0: William Bums, City Manager�� FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director • Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator Michele McPherson, Planning Assistant SUBJECT: First Reading of an Interim Ordinance Declaring a Moratorium on the Construction of Telecommunications Facilities The City has received multiple applications for instaliation of Personal Communication Services (PCS) antennae. The most recent request is for construction of a 108' monopole in the Great Northem Industrial Center south of Interstate 694 and east of East River Road. After discussion with the City Attomey, staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance establishing a six (6) month moratorium on the construction oi Telecommunications Facilities. The purpose of the moratorium is as follows: 1. The Zoning Ordinance did not anticipate this type of technology when it was originally drafted; the moratorium would allow specific standards for location, construction and height to be drafted and adopted into the City Code. 2. There will be several more requests for large towers given the fast-paced development of this technology and the number of companies in the marketplace. A study will need to be complete to identify optimal locations so that co-location of facilities can be required. 3. Municipal water towers and other structures are attractive candidates for the co- location of antennae. The City may choose to become a provider of eligible lease space. 4. Other jurisdictions are adopting similar ordinances including the City of Newport, Washington County, a�d other cities within Washington County. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance for first reading. MM/ M-96-542 25.01 ORDINANCE NO. CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA ESTABLISHING BY INTERIM ORDINANCE A MORATORIUM WITHIN THE CITY �:' ' ON THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW COMMUNICATION AND ANTENNA ARRAY TOWERS AND ON THE USE AND DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY FOR SUCH NEW TOWERS THEREBY AMENDtNG THE CITY CODE BY ADDfNG A NEW SECTION FOR THAT PURPOSE IT IS HEREBY ORDAINED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA, THAT THE CITY CODE IS HEREBY AMENDED TO INC�.WDE A NEW SECTION TO READ AS FOLLOWS: � COMMUNICATION AND ANTENNA TOWER MORATORIUM (a) PREAMBLE The City Council of Fridley, Minnesota, finds that recent advances in wireless communications technology have resulted in a new generation of cellular communication services. These new senrices, caNed "Personai Communications Services" ("PCS"), will likely require numerous antenna locations throughout the community. These antennae may be located on buildings, water towers, and other similar structures, but will also . frequently be located on towers constructed or enlarged for that purpose. The City Council of Fridley further finds that PCS providers have recently been licensed by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC'� for the Minneapolis/St. Paul Major Trading Area ("MTA") and additional providers are expected to be licensed in the near future. In addition, demand is increasing for traditional cellular services from existing or new providers. Collectively, these entities are expected to begin or continue efforts at antenna siting and construction within the City, includi�g requests to construct new or enlarged communications towers. Because of the recent advent of the technolog� requiring construction of muttiple communications towers, current Fridley ordinances may not adequately address issues relating to these types of towers, such as the appropriate focations for these towers and the conditions under which they may be allowed within the City to provide sufficient protection to the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the City. issues which need to be comprehensively addressed in reviewing the impact of this new, technology-driven, communications phenomenon include, but are not limited to, structural and construction requirements and standards, co-location to avoid unnecessary duptication of constru�tion within the City, as well as setbacks and height limitations. 25.02 The City Council of Fridley, Minnesota, further finds that there is a need to study these and other issues to determine what regulatory controls may need to be adopted to protect the public health, safety and welfare. The Gity has issued a Request for Proposal to experienced consultants for the purpose of assisting the Cily's professional planning and engineering staff in conducting a comprehensive study of the possible impact of these towers on the City, and to provide� with City Staff, recorrur�endations to the City of Fridley regarding PCS and cellular service and other antenna or wireless tower issues. Time is also required for the City's staff to draft any necessary proposals for amendments to City zoning regulations for the City Council's review and consideration. The Council finds, therefore, that a moratorium is required in order to protect the planning process and to prevent the construction of enlargement towers and the use and development of lands within the City for such towers pending the completion of necess�ary� studies and the consideration and implemerrtation of newTeguiations on that subject. At the present time it is expected that the necessary study and implementation can be completed within a 12�( -day period. (b) MORATORIUM ESTABLISHED; SCOPE; DEFINITION OR "TOWER" (1) In accordance with the findings set forth in the Preamble to this ordinance and pursuant to the authority of Minnesota Statutes 462.355 (subd. 4). there is hereby established a moratorium on the construction, erection, - placement, reconstruction, enlargement or expansion of towers within the City and on the development and use of property for such purposes. (2) During the period of the moratorium neither pending nor to-be submitted applications for final site and building plan approval, building permits, Conditional Use Permits ("CUP") and other permits or related variance requests and approvals related to such tow�er work shall not be considered by the City, neither the Planning Commission nor the City Council shall consider or grant approval of any application required for such work, and no permits or variances for such work shall be issued. (3) For the purposes of the moratorium, the term "tower' shall mean "any pole, spire, structure or combination thereof, induding supporting lines, cables, wires, braces and masts, intended primarily for the purpose of mounting an antenna, meteorological device, or similar apparatus above grade." (c) APPLICABILITY The moratorium shall be applicable to public and private property throughout the City. 25.03 (d) EXCEPTlONS The moratorium shali not appiy to (1) the lawful use of existing towers or the lawfut erection of antennae on such existing towers, (2) the repair and/or maintenance of any existing tower provide that such work does not enlarge or expand that tower, (3) work on a tower necessary to presenre health, safety, life or property in the face of an emergency, and (4) tower work that has received all necessary permits and approvals from the City prior to the effective date of this ordinance. (e) PENALTIES Any person, corporation or other entiiy that constructs, erects, places,- reconstructs, enlarges, or expands a tower in violation of this Section, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shaU be subject to any additionat legal or equitable remedies available to the City.
