PASTOR AI, SCHOONOVER - V�I,UES FIRST PROGRAM:
Pastor Al Schoonover reviewed the Values First Program and felt it
was significant to the health and life of the community. Seven
core values have been defined which are responsibility,
nonviolence, self-control, citizenship, integrity, respect and
caring. He said that 15 to 25 percent of students have no way of
identifying the core values, and it is everyone's responsibility to
rebuild these values. Their vision is for a safe and healthy
community which involves neighborhoods, f'aith communities, city and
county serdices, businesses, schools, health care, and senior,
community, and youth organizations.
Pastor Schoonover stated that children watch television for more
hours than they spend in school, and he does not like the values
seen on television. It is hoped that this can be changed through
the Values First Program. He pointed out some significant things
that have happened in our community, as well as others. One event
was the donation of roses by Schaaf Floral which were to be shared
with others.
Pastor Schoonover reviewed some of the accomplishments of the
Values First Program. This movement is growing rapidly, and
Project Safety Net is a great asset. c;rants have been received
from Allina Foundation, Medtronic Foundation, Juvenile Justice,
Mercy/Unity Hospitals, Norwest Foundation, and Northeast State
Bank. In addition, in-kind administrative services are being
contributed to this program through the school districts, cities,
and Anoka County. On Apri1 30 and May ;_ there will be a concert
for kids scheduled by KARE 11. If any�ne is interested in the
Values First Program, additional information can be obtained by
calling 636-5694.

Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that plans are currently
being prepared to re-advertise for bids for the bike path on
Central Avenue. The cost would be $130,000, and funds would be

regarding the construction of a bridge over Rice Creek. A bridge
designed for a bike path can be constructed rather than a highway
bridge.

Mr. Flora stated that it would be 8 feet wide by 110 feet long.
Councilman Schneider asked if the plan for the bike path was the
same as previously discussed, as there was concern about the trees
and shrubs.
Mr. Flora stated that the bike path will be installed on the west
side of Old Central Avenue, north of Mississippi Street, within the
County right-of-way. A neighborhood meeting will be held with the
residents along Old Central to review the plan. There would be no
assessment for this bike path, and the plans would be submitted to
Council.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to authorize the advertising of bids
for the Central Avenue bike path. Seconded by Councilman Barnette.

motion carried unanimously.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MP.RCH 3 1997 PAGE 7
14. RECEIVE PROPOSALS AND AWARD GONTRACT FOR CURBSIDE RECYCLING
SERVICES:
Ms. Julie Jones, Recycling Coordinator, commended the Council for
their commitment to recycling. She presented proposals for the
curbside program. The largest portion of the tonnage is from the
curbside program, but the participation rate is only 45 percent,
which is an area of concern. This figure is from SuperCycle's
records on the number of stops. In 1996 there was a sharp drop
from 1995, in the number of stops. The goal in 1997 is to increase
the participation levels in the curbside program.
Ms. Jones stated that another goal is to exceed the City's 1997
tonnage goal set by the County by at least eight percent. This is
critical because of the City taking over the operation of the
recycling center. �luminum revenues from the recycling center need
to be reported, and it will affect how the City can spend SCORE
funds. When the City reaches 108 percent of the goal level, there
is more liberty on the use of SCORE funds. The program should also
be cost-effective for Fridley residents.
Ms. Jones stated that participation could be raised by convenience
to the residents, weekly pickup, same day garbage and recycling
service, and the collection of additional materials. If plastics
were added to the recycling proqram, it would add more tonnage than
textiles.
Ms. Jones stated that staff and the Environmental Quality and
Energy Commission are recommending that Council accept the proposal
from Waste Management for a bi-monthly service for multi-family
buildings at a rate of $2.15 per unit and a weekly service for
single family dwellings at a rate of $2.15 per unit.
Ms. Jones stated that a key point to consider is that the curbside
monthly participation should be more like 70 and not 45 percent.
The City also needs the freedom to spend SCORE funds on otherwise
ineligible uses, if the tonnage increases by at least eight
percent. Adding plastics to the program will increase
participation and add tonnage. Weekly service will increase the
pounds collected per household, and a commingled collection system
(plastics and cans together) solves the issue of possibly having to
provide another recycling bin for plast:ics. Ms. Jones explained
the costs of weekly service and the amounts that would exceed the
1997 and 1998 budgets. She explained t:hat staff recommended that
the City Council consider increasing the SWAP fee from $4 per
quarter to $5 per quarter, which would need to be done by ordinance
amendment.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if telephone books could be recycled.
Ms. Jones stated that they are included in the City's recycling
program and should be included with the mixed mail materials.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1997 PAGE 8
Mayor Jorgenson questioned the reason for the decrease in curbside
recycling.
Ms. Jones stated that this could be weather related or residents
could be using the drop-off center. Many residents are taking
their plastics to friends and relatives in other communities where
they have plastic collections.
Councilman Schneider stated that as far as garbage and recycling
materials being collected on the same day, the City has multiple
haulers for trash pick-up and questioned how this could be
accomplished.
Ms. Jones stated that Council could review this issue; however,
this issue may take care of itself. Residents may keep their
current hauler or elect to change to a hauler that would pick-up
their trash on the same day as their recycling.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked when residents would be notified of the
program.
Ms. Jones stated that staff would send out information to residents
about ten days before the program goes into effect.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that part of the program is to get more
people in the apartment complexes involved in recycling.
Ms. Jones stated that she plans to meet with many of the apartment
managers and owners to find out how the City can assist them.
Mr. Tom Glander, President of SuperCycle, stated that he
appreciated the opportunity to se�ve the City over the years and
thanked Councll for their business. SuperCycle would like to
continue to serve the residents of Fridley.
Mr. Glander stated that he perceived the City as practical. He
designed the program as it was in the past when it was determined
that it was too costly to recycle plastics. Council has a choice
to make between weekly or bi-monthly collection. The City's cost
per ton collected has been about $80 compared to neighboring
communities with a weekly program of about $102 to $108 per ton.
From the standpoint of cost per unit collected, obviously weekly
collection is more expensive.
Mr. Glander stated that the City collected 35.6 pounds per
household per month, and cities with weekly collection collected
37.8 pounds per household per month. In comparison, other cities
collected five or six percent more tonnage for an increased cost of
about 25 percent. He felt this was a very poor value. These
programs have not done as well as Fridley's. Converting to a
weekly program will not necessarily increase participation.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1997 PAGE 9
Mayor Jorgenson asked the size of the garbage containers used in
cities that have a weekly collection.
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that staff has
completed a survey. Information is on f.ile, but she does not have
the information available this evening.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that several communities have gone to a
weekly collection so there must be a reason for it. It would be
simpler to have both the recyclables and trash collected on the
same day.
Ms. Jones stated that there is no doubt a weekly collection would
increase the cost. If there is only 45 percent participation and
the City is paying for 100 percent, it is a costly program.
Council will have to make the decision on what is more cost-
effective for residents.
Councilman Schneider stated that the paint is will participation
increase if recyclables ar-e collected weekly.
Ms. Jones stated that she felt the tonnage would increase to 500
pounds per household, rather than 400 pounds. It takes about a
year for residents to become accustomed to a new system. She felt
that the residents would be in favor of the collection of plastics.
Councilman Schneider stated that the data presented by the County
indicates that Fridley is at a recycling level of other
communities .
Ms. Jones stated that Fridley is about in the middle as far as
amounts recycled per household.
Councilman Schneider asked if the County's figures per household
include the tonnage brought to the recycling center.
Ms. Jones stated she understands that it does, but the 400 pounds
per household is strictly the curbside recycling.
Councilman Schneider stated that if there was a weekly collection,
from a cost standpoint, is convenience really what is being
provided rather than increased tonnage.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that quite a few people who are not
residents of Fridley use the recycling center. They will continue
to bring their recyclables to the center.
Ms. Jones stated that the goal for the recycling center is to
promote recycling with the businesses ar.d apartment owners to boost
tonnage. This should supplement the curbside service.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1997 PAGE 10
MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to 'direct staff to accept the
proposal from Waste Management for $2.15 per unit for weekly
single-family service (1-4 units) and $2.15 per unit for bi-monthly
multi-unit (5-12 unit buildings) service and negotiate a contract
for consideration at the March 31 Council meeting. Further, to
prepare an educational brochure and define the collection zones so
that it can be mailed to residents prior to the start of the new
program in April. Seconded by Councilman Barnette.
Mr. Jerry Sampson, representing Waste Management, stated it is
proposed that the collections be Monday through Thursday. Since
April l, 1997, is a Tuesday, he suggested instead of starting the
program on Monday, April 7. Council agreed with his suggesticn.
He predicts a minimum of 42 to 45 pounds per household per month
and possibly up to 56 pounds per household.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, asked Mr. Sampson if he felt it was
feasible that the City could experience a 25 percent increase in
tonnage. Mr. Sampson replied in the affirmative.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and
Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
15. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDMENT RECODIFYING THE
FRIDLEY CITY CODE, CHAPTER 114, ENTITLED "ABANDONED MOTOR
VEHICLES," BY AMENDING SECTION 114.01, "POLICY:"
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that the purpose
of this amendment is to remove the "sunset date" clause from
Chapter 114, Section 114.01, which stated that "these amendments
shall be effective for any violation which occurs through March 30,
1997, at which point the amendments to this section will have no
further force and effect unless a further amendment is enacted."
Last year Council amended the ordinance to establish a five-day tag
and tow process to remove unlicensed or inoperable vehicles from
private property.
Ms. Dacy stated that to date, 106 inoperable vehicles have been
placarded throughout the City using the modified ordinance. Of the
vehicles placarded, 94 have been returned to operational condition,
placed in a garage or removed, six have been impounded by the City,
and six are pending final inspection. The owners of these vehicles
have been extremely cooperative, and the majority of the vehicles
tagged are due to expired tabs. A high percentage of vehicles are
removed voluntarily.
Councilman Barnette questioned the "sunset date."
Ms. Dacy stated that this "sunset date" was included in the
ordinance last year to provide an opportunity� for staff to come
back to Council with a report on how this ordinance has progressed.
Staff is now recommending this "sunset date" clause be removed so
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL NIEETING OF MARCH 3, 1997 PAGE 11
it will be a continuing practice. The amount of complaints have
remained the same, but the ordinance prompted more interest in
compliance.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive t=he reading and approve the
ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the
motion carried unanimously.
8. RESOLUTION NO. 24-1997 SUPPORTING THE TRUNK HIGHWAY 10 (TH 10)
MULTI-MODAL TRANSPORTATION CORRIDOR DEVELOPMENT:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that r_epresentatives from Anoka
County have asked for the City's support for a feasibility study of
multi-modal transportation improvements along a section of TH 10
that extends through twelve cities between St. Cloud and
Minneapolis. The study would investigate the impact of
establishing a commuter rail service, along with highway improve-
ments and recreational trails.
Mr. Burns stated that the County, along with other counties in the
corridor area, are seeking $S million in Federal ISTEA funding for
the study. In addition to lending its support, the City is being
asked to appoint an elected representative to work with other
elected officials to develop a join� powers agreement. The
agreement is viewed as a mechanism for addressing the need for
transportation enhancements, congestion r_elief, improved safety and
systematic land use planning. The Cit.y is also being asked to
declare its intent to enter into this agreement subject to
examination of the details that are developed by the elected
officials' task force. Staff recommends approval, and Mr. Tim
Yantos is here from the County to answer any questions.
Mr. Tim Yantos, Anoka County, stated that: this corridor is known as
the Northstar Corridor which is a shorter name for the T.H. 10
multi-modal transportation corridor study. He provided copies of
the application that was submitted to t:he federal government for
funding. Representative James Oberstar �_s the primary sponsor, and
24 governmental entities are being asked to participate in the
joint powers agreement.
Mr. Yantos stated that this corridor i� the fastest growing, and
there are problems with safety. It is necessary to look at a
variety of multi-modal enhancements and Yiow to improve the land use
along this corridor.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she understood this request is for $5
million in funding; however, the letter from Representative James
Oberstar states it is $6 million.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1997 PAGE 12
Mr. Yantos stated that it is a$6 million request for funding for
the study. As more information was gathered the figures have
changed.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if there would be matching grants by the
cities and counties involved.
Mr. Yantos stated it is anticipated that it will be an in-kind
participation so that all the work the communities wili be
contributing will go into their portion of the cost.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if most of the proposed system and stations
would be along Highway 10 and then proceed into Minneapolis and
St. Paul.
Mr. Yantos stated that is one of the improvements proposed;
however, the study will review a variety of options for highway and
corridor improvements. The rail system is just one of the many
modes and will be part of the study.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that St. Cloud is outside the metropolitan
area so it is interesting that this is being proposed.
Mr. Yantos stated that the Metropolitan
maintain growth in certain areas, and
corridor are very concerned. In Sherburne
of building permits being applied for, and
for growth from Anoka into the metropolitan
is generated from suburbs to the north, and
at planning for that type of growth.
Council is trying to
the people along this
County there are a lot
the County is planning
area. A lot of traffic
this is one way to look
Councilman Schneider asked when the County would know if the grant
was received.
Mr. Yantos stated that, currently, there are ISTEA funds available,
and more funds available this fall. He felt there was a good
chance that these funds would be obtained.
Mr. Yantos stated that Anoka County is working with Sherburne
County, but it would be the Joint Powers Board that receives the
grant and determines the work that would be performed by the
consultant. Each community along the route would be asked to voice
their concerns.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, questioned if, down the road, the City may
be asked for some organizational funding.
Mr. Yantos stated that there have been preliminary discussions that
if the Joint Powers Board wants to proceed before the funds are
available perhaps there could be a funding mechanism based on
population. A community of over 10,0000 would provide $2,000 in
funding, and this amount would be reduced based on population.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1997 PAGE 13
Councilman Billings asked if the Anoka County Rail Authority has
given any thought as to where this �trairi may run, particularly in
the Fridley area.
Mr. Yantos stated that a commuter train would use the Burlington
Northern tracks. Because there is a double track it makes the use
of this rail system very attractive.
Councilman Billings asked Mr. Yantos how this proposal would
benefit Fridley residents.
Mr. Yantos stated that he could not address the issue at this time
because that is what the study would encompass. He is not aware of
all the problems along Highway 47 or I-694, but he does know
congestion is very bad on Highway 47. Each community has its own
concerns and opportunities.
Mr. Yantos stated that another applicatic�n, and not a part of this
application, is from the Metro Regional Railroad for consideration
of light rail transit along Hiawatha Avenue to the Mall of America
and airport with another line to be studied.
Councilman Billings stated that for Fridley residents to access a
future commuter system on the Burlington Northern tracks they would
have to go to Northtown.
Mr. Yantos stated that he is not sure w}iere the stations would be
located. Possibly Highway 47 right-of-way would be utilized from
Northtown to downtown Minneapolis.
Mr. Burns stated that the City would benefit by opening up a
broader resource for Fridley businesses.
Councilman Billings asked if this study would replace the work done
by the Anoka County Regional Rail Authority several years ago when
Highway 47 was identified as a potential corridor for light rail.
Mr. Yantos stated that this information would be expanded on the
best way to move traffic.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the study would encompass traffic both
, east and west.
Mr. Yantos stated that this study would primarily stress Highways
10 and 47 and does not expand to the east: or west at this time.
Councilman Schneider questioned the exper�se of the study.
Mr. Yantos stated that there are a lot of technical issues for all
cities and counties involved regarding railroad crossings, bridges,
highway improvements, land use, and those studies are expensive.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1997
PAGE 14
An environmental impact statement is also required to proceed into
an implementation stage.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the light rail plan was studied several
years ago. She questioned if this study will be competing with the
light rail transit plan from Minneapolis to the Mall of America and
airport. ,
Mr. Yantos stated that it is not competing, but it is one proposal,
and this is only a small portion of it.
Councilman Billings asked if it locks the City into funding if this
resolution is adopted.
Mr. Yantos stated that there is no anticipated funding that the
City would be locked into at this time.
Councilman Billings stated that if there was to be local funding
and Fridley did not want to participate, he wanted to make sure
that there was no obligation on the City's part.
Mr. Yantos stated that the joint powers agreement should address
this issue. There will be a section in the agreement that would
allow municipalities to not participate, if they so desired.
Councilman Billings stated that as he understands, �he City can
choose to participate at no direct cost to the Fridley taxpayers
and would have the opportunity to withdraw, depending on how the
joint powers agreement is drafted. One of the Council members
would be a member of the Joint Powers Board.
Mr. Yantos stated that those participating may be asked for some
minimal contribution up to $2,000; however, this would be decided
by the Joint Powers Board.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that by adopting the resolution Council
is not committing to the $2,000.
Mr. Yantos stated that the resolution only supports the study and
the appointment of one of the Council members to serve on the
Board. He stated Fridley's elected official appointed to the Board
would work with other elected officials to draft the joint powers
agreement. Representative Oberstar would like to see the Joint
Powers Board in place in the next several weeks.
Mr. Burns asked if this proposal has support and input from the
State.
Mr. Yantos stated he understands that Elwyn Tinklenberg has had
several conversations with the state. The Department of
Transportation will be an ex-officio member of the Joint Powers
Board.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1997 PAGE 15
Councilman Barnette stated that he did not believe there is any
risk in getting involved. Everyone is aware that traffic is a
major problem. He suggested that Councilman Billings be appointed
to serve on this Joint Powers Board.
Councilman Billings stated that he served for two years on the
Anoka County Rail Authority, and he does have a flexible work
schedule. If it is Council's pleasure, he would be willinq to
serve as Fridley's representative.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to adopt Resolution No. 24-1997 and
appoint Councilman Billings as Fridley's representative to work
with the elected officials from communit:ies along the corridor to
develop a joint powers agreement. Further, to change the March 15
date in the resolution to March 31. Seconded by Councilman
Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson
declared the motion carried unanimously.
15A. RESOLUTION NO. 25-1997 REQUESTING REPRESENTATION FROM LEAGUE
OF MINNESOTA CITIES INSURANCE TRUST FOR APPEAL:
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that thi.s resolution was forwarded
to the City by the League of Minnesota Ci.ties Insurance Trust which
is the City's insurer. This resolution relates to a lawsuit the
City is in as one of the 36 members of the Minnesota Police
Recruitment System (MPRS). One of the reasons for the litigation
was a disagreement over the MPRS's examination for police officers.
Mr. Knaak stated that the League has actually made it quite easy
for the City by agreeing to conduct the a.ppeal for the City with no
deductible. The League further agrees to pay all costs associated
with the appeal and to pay all damages awarded as the result of the
appeal beyond those in Judge Solum's award as allocated among the
cities. He recommended that Council adopt this resolution.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to concur with the City Attorney's
recommendation and adopt Resolution Nc. 25-1997. Seconded by
Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
16. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that onA item to be discussed in
the conference session is industrial lots near residential areas.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked Mr. Burns to summarize Council's recent
meeting with the School Board of District No. 14.
Mr. Burns stated that the City Council, School Board, and Super-
intendent, met last Thursday evening to discuss the Community
Education Center project. One of the main topics was a name for
this facility. Both the City Council anc. the School Board felt the
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 3, 1997 PAGE 16
new facility should be called the Fridley Community Center.
Construction should begin in June and, hopefully, be finished by
September.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that on April 14 Council will conduct a
public hearing on the Linn development for a strip mall on 57th
Avenue. There will be a neighborhood meeting on March 18 regarding
this issue.
ADJOURNMENT:
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by

SUBJECT: Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 114 of the Fridley
City Code, Eliminating the "Sunset Dafe" Clause in the Abandoned, Junk
or Unsafe Motor Vehicles Ordinance.
Back..�.round ,
In June of 1996, a modification to the Abandoned Motor Vehicles Code was adopted.
. The modification introduced an inoperable velucle placcarding process that allows the
City to remove unlicensed or inoperabie vehicles from private property after five (5) days
notice. The ordinance modification also included a"sunset date" clause making the
ordinance effective for any violation which occurs through March 30, 1997, at which
point the amendments will have no further force and effect unless a further amendment is
enacted.
R P�ommendation
Due to the success of the program, staffrequests that the City Council approve �he
attached ordinance amendment for second reading at its March 31, 1997, meeting. The
amendment simply deletes the "sunset" clause.

SECTION 114.01, "POLICY"
The Council of the City of Fridley does hereby ordain as follows:
114. ABANDpNED JUNg OR UNSAFE MOTOR VEHICLES
114.01 PURPOSE
Abandoned junk and unsafe motor vehicles constitute a hazard to the health and welfare of the
residents of the community in that such vehicles can harbor noxious diseases, furnish shelter and
breeding places for vermin, and present physical dangers to the safety and well being of children
and other citizens. Motor vehicles contain fluids which if released into the environment can and
do cause significant health risks to the community. The condition of vehicles that are junked and
abandoned junk or unsafe significantly increase the likelihood that these dangerous fluids might
be so released. Abandoned junk or unsafe motor vehicles and other scrap metals also constitute a
blight on the landscape of the Gity and therefore are detrimental to the environment. The
� abandonment and retirement of motor vehicles and other scrap metal constitutes a waste of a
valuable source of useful metal. It is therefore in the public interest that the present
accumulation of abandoned junk or unsafe motor vehicles and other scrap metals be eliminated,
that future abandonment of motor vehicles and other scrap metals be prevented, that the
expansion of existing scrap recycling facilities be developed, and that other accepta.ble a.�d
economically useful methods for the disposal of abandoned junl� or unsafe motor vehicles and
other forms of scrap metal be developed. Because of these significant concerns, the City is
amending this section.

PAGE 2
Ms. Dacy stated, as part of the staff presentation, she will cover
where they have been in the last year with this intersection issue
and review the purpose of this part of the Planning Commission
meeting on this topic. Then the consultant, Mr. Glen VanWormer
from SEH, will review the plans. SEH is a consulting and
engineering firm under contract with the HRA to complete the
preliminary engineering plans for the Lake Pointe, West Moore Lake
Drive, and Central Avenue intersection.
Ms. Dacy stated the last time that the Planning Commission and the
public saw plans regarding this issue was about one year ago.
MEPC American Properties is under contract with the HRA to market
the Lake Pointe site for corporate office development. MEPC has
until August, 1997, to see if they can find a corporate office
user for the facility. However, since the master plan approval,
the City has taken a number of steps to start the process to make
the intersection improvements at this location.
Ms. Dacy stated one of the steps taken by the City was to make an
application for Federal funding to pay for up to 80o of the costs
of the intersection, and the City was successful in accomplishing
that. The City took the plans shown to the public and at the
neighborhood meetings, the Planning Commission and the City
Council, which were essentially the same plans as 10 years ago,
and submitted that to the Minnesota Department of Transportation
(MnDOT) along with an updated traffic analysis. The MnDOT staff
has spent a number of months evaluating the analysis, looking at
the design of the intersection plus the design of the ramps as you
enter and leave I-694, and have had a number of concerris. They
sugc�ested spme improvements in addition to the intersection
changes that the City has discussed over the last l0 years.
Ms. Dacy stated the City is now at a point where they are nearl
completed with the preliminary engineering plans, MnDOT has y
reviewed and is comfortable with the proposai"s they have put
together, and the City Council asked staff to hold an
informational hearing to bring the Planning Commission and the
public up to date on the intersection im rovements.
is the final construction drawin s. TheP are The next step
at going out for bids this fall for constructiontintthel prinq1of
1998.
Ms. Dacy stated the purpose of the meeting is to bring you up to
date with where the City is at. These are essentially the same
plans as 10 years ago. Mr. VanWormer will go over some
modifications that MnDOT has added to the I--694 ramps an-d review
the schedule for carrying that out.' If inembers`of the public`have
questions or comments, the purpose of this hearing is to ask those
questions and/or make comments. The Planning Commission is not
�' 2.�2
PLANNING CONIIKISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 3
taking formal action. Comments and questions will be part of the
record which will be passed on to the Cit�y Council. The City
Council ultimately has to approve the final plans.
Mr. VanWormer stated the project is more than 10 years old. In
the mid-1980's, there was much concern about the operation of the
intersection of Highway 65, Old Central and West Moore Lake Drive.
At the time the plans were being prepared, there was a series of
public meetings, meetings with neighborhoods, it got approval,
plans were prepared, approved by the City Council, sent to MnDOT
where they got signatures but the project: was shelved. As part of
the follow-up to that, MnDOT was to do some work on the ramps in
conjunction with the reconstruction of I-694. That has taken
place, but none of the changes that were part of that plan have
taken place. Now, the project is back tr�rough a revised funding
source and money is available for the project. The plan went
through an evaluation process and came out with a high enough
priority so there is money available for it.
Mr. VanWormer stated the intersection do�s have some operating
problems. One of the concerns is the ope�ration and congestion on
Central at Hackmann. There is concern about getting out of
Hackmann because there are site and distance restrictions. As you
come down Hillwind to Hackmann, traffic takes a shortcut through
the service station. There is also confusion as you come down
Central to make a left turn. If this is your first time through
there and you want to make a left turn to go west on the_
interstate, you have to do some jockeying to get into position.
There are a.number of operating problems such as these.
Mr. VanWormer stated the original concept as approved and the
plans from 10 years did take care'of a lot of those concerns. The.
plan they have today is very similar especiaTly in the area of
Central, Hackmann, Hillwind, etc.�`One of the concerns is that
when you come out on existing HaclQnann,' it is fairly close to the
intersection on Highway 65. They moved this as far east as they
could go to allow more room between someone coming around the
corner and where you are when trying to pull out. It also
provides a distinct left turn lane if you are coming down Central
to make a left turn to go south on Highway 65. This plan has a
painted median which you can drive across to provide access to
houses. There is a painted left turn lane for those who are
turning into Hackmann. There is a raised island from Hackmann all
the way to Highway 65 which also provides a sheltered left turn.
There are two left turn lanes to go south on Highway 65 and one
lane to go across the roadway. The people who are cutting through
the service station will have a direct route and eliminate some of
the circulation problems and conflicts at the service station.
Mr. VanWormer stated, on the west side, one of the concerns is
' 2.03
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 4
that the development of Lake Pointe will generate traffic that
might, under the existing conditions, go.up West Moore Lake Drive.
They have reversed it so that Lake Pointe is directly connected to
Highway 65. That should have traffic coming from the development
go directly out to the highway. The plan has tried to provide
specific lanes for movement. There is a through lane, a left turn
lane and a right turn lane.
Mr. VanWormer stated they have also made some changes on Highway
65. They have added a southbound lane so that as you come into
the Lake Pointe/Central intersection, there would be a third
southbound lane which will continue all the way through to the
south of the south ramps. Northbound, there is an added lane
which will continue through and ends as a right turn lane at
Central.
Mr. VanWormer stated the biggest change comes from MnDOT. They
have evaluated the intersection and decided that the movements
onto the freeway if you are going westbound on I-694 and turning
south on Highway 65, you have to weave through the traffic that is.
coming up the ramp. They will remove that loop to go south and
instead put in a ramp similar to the one at University or Silver
Lake Road and make it a xight or a left turn. There will be two
left turn lanes and two right turn lanes which should provide
capacity on that ramp. The same thing would be done for east
bound traffic.
Mr. VanWormer stated the benefit is that.it separates the on
movement from the westbound and northbound ramp under a stop
condition from signal lights and will be diverted further away
from the Lake Point intersection. In the report for application
of funds, this section of Highway�65 from Moore Zake south has had
123 accidents in three:years.' This particular project;has been
submitted to MnDOT who reviewed it and has come back with.some
changes they suggested to the ramp. 'They have'redesigned it'and '
sent it back through for approval. It is now there for formal
staff approval which means they are reviewing it is some detail.
The County also has a copy of the plans which they will be
reviewing. They are in the process of reviewing the plan with
different agencies - the state historical society, wetlands, etc.
Mr. VanWormer stated that is the current status. The next step,
if they continue to be approved,-is to make adjustments, take into
account any comments that are received, and submit the final
plans. The City Council will approve the final plans before
getting bids.
Ms. Modig stated she did not see°how to get onto I-694 going east
as you going north on Highway 65.
' 2:fl4"
PLANNING CONIl�IISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 5
Mr. VanWormer stated that access is the same as it is today.
Ms. Savage asked if these plans would go forward no matter what
happens with the Lake Pointe development.
Mr. VanWormer stated yes, he believed it would because the funding
is separate from any development and the problems have been
identified prior to any development.
Ms. Dacy stated, even without development at Lake Points, the
traffic analysis showed that by the year 1999 the intersection of
Central, West Moore Lake Drive, and Highway 65 would move from a
level of service of D to an F. The Federal funding helped the
City in making the intersection project proceed because the City
will conceivably get that done in 1998.
Mr. Oquist asked who would be responsible for the project.
Mr. VanWormer stated the City has applied for the money. The
Federal government pays 800 of the construction costs. There will
be a cooperative agreement between the City, the County, and MnDOT
for the project. The City will manage the project.
Ms. Modig asked if any more houses would be affected by this.
Mr. VanWormer stated the houses that were removed were on the
west. They are affecting some driveways of houses nearby but not
the houses. On the.east side, the area previously obtair�ed for
that connection will be used. No further houses will be taken.
Ms.. Modig asked how they have addressed the problem of coming
across Lake Pointe to Old Central. Now,', you take your life into
your hands because the drivers.turning left do not observe the
right of way for on-coming going straight.
Mr. VanWormer stated he would have to check with MnDOT to be
certain of the plans for signalization and how it operates. This
is set up to have separate turn lanes for the westbound/southbound
type of turn. If the left turn lanes are on a left turn signal
and then stop that traffic, the traffic going ahead can then
proceed.
Mr. Kuechle asked what kind of time line they were looking at.
Mr. VanWormer stated this should be done in one construction
season. It will be done in 1998 so they can start early in the
year and�construct for the year $o they are done. They are also
coordinating this with the I-694'-University area so they do not
have two projects going at the same time.
2.Q 'rJ.
PLANNING CONIl�SISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 6
Ms. Savage opened the meeting for public comment.
Mr. Stinski stated he owned an office building on Hillwind. He
thought this was a great improvement for that corner. People from
his office building go through the service station. He thought
that was the reason the road was around there. When coming off
the ramp, is that the same route to get to Hillwind?
Mr. VanWormer stated it is the same route. Instead of having to
merge into traffic, you will come down to a signal, make a right
onto Highway 65, and another right turn.
Mr. Stinski asked how you would get to eastbound I-694 when
driving south on Highway 65.
Mr. VanWormer stated that will be the same. You would take the
loop to go to the east.
Ms. Williams stated she lived on Hackmann on the corner and asked
if they would be changing the elevation on that corner or changing
the landscaping.
Mr. VanWormer asked he did not think they are planning to make
many changes in road elevation. He did not know which specific
trees will be affected. The roadway will be widened but he did
not know how that would affect the trees. He had a bigger set of
plans available and could check those after the meeting: They are
planning to complete the trail which would be on the west side and
completed over to the north side of Central Avenue, come across,
and connect into the trail along Moore Lake.
Mr. Oquist asked if there would be a bridge or a walkway.
Mr. VanWormer stated there would be a signal with walk and don't
walk lights.
Mr. Oquist asked Ms. Williams if she had a concern about the
elevation.
Mr. Williams stated the original plans showed landscaping. Her
property is right at the hill. They took a piece of her property
and changed another driveway. It was all supposed to be
landscaped but nothing was done. It is a concern.
Mr. Kipp asked if; on the drawings, there was sti11 a way to get
through coming from the high school going south on Highway 65.
Mr. VanWormer stated yes.
Mr. Kipp stated that right now there is a yield right of way to
�.Os
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 7
turn right to go south on Highway 65. The people coming across
have the right of way when they make a left turn.
Mr. VanWormer stated traffic coming east from West Moore Lake or
Lake Pointe making a right turn, when the left arrow is on, they
will have to yield. When the left turn arrow is off, you can pull
out. West Moore Lake Drive will still come down to a stop sign to
go east on Lake Pointe.
Jean Branstrom asked if it was correct tr�at from Old Central and
Highway 65 to 53rd and Highway 65 there would be four stop ligh�s.
Mr. VanWormer stated yes.
Mr. Gilstad stated he was the first house� in from the gas station.
Since this proposed road is coming in, it will basically be right
across the street from his house.. He works at home and has people
who come over. How long will construction be? He will not be
able to get out of the driveway and his customers will nt�t be able
to come in. He also has small children at home.
Mr. VanWormer stated, although they don't have a detailed plan, he
did not know what the staging will be. In cases like this because
the whole neighborhood is dependent on this connec�ion, they try
to keep the existing connection open, build a new connection, and
then reroute traffic. It will not be as convenient as it is now.
There will be some staging.and construction but there will be an
opportunity to get in.
Mr. Gilstad asked if they would be landscaping the boulevard:
Mr. VanWormer stated another concern about landscaping is the
headlights shining in. He does not'have a details landscape plan.
Mr. Gilstad asked if they would be leaving the live oak trees.
Mr. VanWormer stated they try to leave what they can.
Mr. Gilstad asked if there would be three lanes to Highway 65.
Mr. VanWormer stated yes. There would be two left turn lanes and
a through lane. Those turning right would use the through lane.
Mr. Gilstad asked what the distance was between the stoplights to
the proposed intersection. The traffic backs ug way back and
there is often a 10-minute wait to get out.
Mr. VanWormer stated this will get you a.little further away so
there is more opportunity to enter traffic. At certain times of
the day, traffic backs.up. With the way they should be able to
2.07
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 8
move traffic through the intersection, you should be able to get
out to the back of the traffic. It is still close, but it is the
best they could do. You may still have to wait.
Mr. Oquist asked if the.timing of the lights would change or .stay
the same.
Mr. VanWormer stated MnDOT is working on coordination of all
signals along Highway 65 from Columbia Heights to Bethel. He did
not know what the final scheme would be. They will likely be a
long signal.
Mr. Oquist stated the long signals tend to back things up.
Mr. VanWormer stated he thought it would be the same. With two
left turn lanes and a long cycle, you may have to wait one cycle.
Mr. Oquist stated another problem is that afternoon traffic from
such places as Medtronic and Onan creates heavy traffic. He has
had to wait for two or three lights before getting off Old
Central. Has there been any consideration to diverting t.his
traffic?
Mr. VanWormer stated thought was given to that. As far as this
project, nothing is being done further north. There will be some
back ups.
Ms. Modig stated she has noticed recently that there seems to be a
great increase in traffic going north on Old Central between 5 and
6 p.m. She was not sure where it was coming from because
Medtronic and Onan traffic would be traveling the other direction.
She thought some of that was caused by the fact that Highway 65
is stop and go from 57th on out so they think they can go faster
by getting of.f on Old Central.
Mr. VanWormer stated he did not know what would cause a.recent
increase. When traffic backs up, commuters try to get around it.
In trying the longer cycles at the signals, you may wait for a
longer time but then move through a number of signals without
stopping.
Mr. Wedgewood stated, at one time, someone mentioned putting in
another right turn lane or extending the right turn lane north of
the intersection into Moore Lake because traffic trying �o get'on
I-694 was backing up onto Highway 65. If that turn lane was'made
longer, it would be faster to get onto I-694. Is that turn lane
going in? To turn south onto Highway 65 from Lake Pointe, it is
hard to get going in the winter time. Will the elevation of Lake
Pointe Drive be brought .up to the same elevation at Highway 65 so
you don't need a running start to get up there in the winter.
' 2.�8` �
1
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 9
Mr. VanWormer stated the answers to the questions were yes and
maybe respectively. The south bound right turn lane will become
another south bound through lane so there will be three through
lanes going south through the intersections. That right lane
would basically serve as a back up for the ramp going west.
People who�want to turn right into Lake Pointe or West Moore Lake
Drive will have another turn lane so they will widen that point
about 12 feet. As far as the elevation, he did not know. He
knows it is up hill to get to the intersection. He would like to
take care of it but it is a matter of whether the grades can fiL.
Ms. Modig asked if any of that construction on that southbound
lane gets into the lake itself. How far will that right turn lane
go onto Highway 65 along the lake on the west side?
Mr. VanWormer stated one option is to push everything out 12 to l4
feet to get the extra lane which gets into the lake. You can al�so
do a wall. There is a meeting next week ��aith the DNR to look at
what will cause the least impact. The same process was proposed
10 years ago and the DNR gave a permit to the City for the work.
They were renewed for a number of years. There is also some water
on the east side of the lane. Instead of the drainage ditch, they
will probably put in a culvert. That should help with the water
quality because no sand, etc., would be going into the lake.
Mr. Wedgewood stated he objects to going into the lake to build�
the right hand turn lane. Over the last 20 years, there has been
a reason to fill in something on Moore Lake. The area of
Eisenhower Park was filled in. When building the recreational
fields north of the beach, that was substantially the result of
filling in. Wherever there was cattails or mushy soil, it has
been filled in to improve it. Now the City is possibly fil]:ing in`
a bit of West Moore Lake for a right turn lane. If three lanes
are heading south, at a future juncture,` how far do those three
lanes continue across the lake? Does that mean there is no
shoulder any more all the way down? Does this then become a six
Iane road and then an eight lane road?
Mr. VanWormer stated there is no attempt to go further north than
is necessary. The area of the lake affected is at the corner and
another area near the corner. It goes back about 500 feet. The
shoulder that is there will be continued to the point of the right
t.urn lane. They are trying to minimize the impact on the lake and
still provide a right turn lane. There is no intention to carry
the northbound lane through. That lane will stop at the
intersection. .
Ms. Savage stated, if a wetland is filled in, you must comply with
the wetlands statutes.
2.09 �
�
,
PLANNING CONIl�lISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 10
Mr. VanWormer stated no one wants to harm a wetland for ecology
reasons and because the rules are so strict that it is difficult
to comply. He shares these concerns and will try to minimize the
impact.
Ms. Modig asked if the majority of that lane would be on the south
portion.
Mr. VanWormer stated the additional lane is to provide stacking at
the intersection. The problem they have in the morning when
traffic starts to pick up is that people drive under the green
light fast, cars are stopped, and then they are in the
intersection.
Ms. Thayer asked if they are going to be widening Old Central and
taking away parking lanes.
Mr. VanWormer stated the widening is anticipated south of the new
connection. There will be some to the north. The intent is to
try to retain the parking to the north. He could not say where
the parking will be and will not be. They are removing parking
from the end of the lake to Highway 65. The summer parking would
have an ending. There may be some problems for the first few
houses.
Ms. Laura Ingebrigtsen stated she liked the intersection plans but
she tended to side with Mr. Wedgewood about the lake. She thought
the lake was important for the wildlife. She lives on the lake
and enjoys the wildlife. She is not the only one that feels that
way.
Ms. Jeanne Ingebrigtsen asked how close they intended to get to
the lake along Lake Pointe Drive.;: When'coming into Lake Pointe
Drive, do they need to come into where the homes were?
Mr. VanWormer stated behind where the houses were located were
trees and shrubs. They will stay. The road is to the south of
the brush. The roadway will extend approximately 20 to 30 feet.
That will be about l0 feet closer than they are now.
Ms. J. Ingebrigtsen stated she thought she had been told at one
time that the road would go straight and she was concerned it
would be within 15 feet of the lake.
Mr. VanWormer stated they have tried to stay as far away from the
lake and the homes as they could:'
Ms. J. Ingebrigtsen stated she did not like the change to Lake
Pointe Drive. It is confusi:ng when giving directions. She asked
�2.10
PI,ANNING COI�Il�lISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 11
if the approach to the ramps for the intE�rstate would change.
Mr. VanWormer stated the ramps will follc�w basically the same
alignment but just adjusted somewhat.
Ms. J. Ingebrigtsen wondered if this would be going through Lake
Pointe.
Mr. VanWormer stated they have not changE�d any of the volumes so
there should be no change in the noise.
Ms. J. Ingebrigtsen stated they get drainage into the lake. With
more roads there is more drainage. The (:ity fertilizes the park
which goes into the lake and muddies up t.he lake. They need the
drainage but have conflicts about the use of fertilizer by the
City: They were told they should notify their neighbors not to
use fertilizer but the City fertilizes trie park to keep it looking
nice. She has lived here since 1955. Iri the beginning it was I-
694. Over the years it has gotten bigger� and bigger and also
noisier. She does not like that and that: is why she was wondering
about the approach. She is about the terith house in and she does
not like the noise. This is something that they have to try to
live with. She did not like to have the intersection into Lake
Pointe.
Mr. VanWormer stated the way the intersection is today there is no
traffic coming from Lake.Pointe. They wi.11 end up with a number
of cars coming out, but they will have to wait. With an office
development, there should be gaps in the traffic but it will be
more difficult early and late in the day. The intersection was
set up as it is to try.to keep traffic out of the neighborhood.
No further public comment was received.
Ms. Dacy stated what staff will take back to the final design
process is to look more closely at the landscape features of the
landscape plan. What was mentioned was Mr. Flaten's home, Mr.
Gilstad's home, and Ms. Ingebrigtsen mentioned headlights as you
enter Lake Pointe Drive at Highway 65. They can take a look at
landscaping to prevent lights. There were also at least two
concerns regarding the impact to the lake from the southbound
Highway 65 lane improvement. They will take a close look at what
needs to be done there in terms of accommodating lane expansion.
The Wetland Conservation Act is law. They will need to comply
with that law. If a replacement wetland needs to be constructed,
that will have to be done.
Ms. Dacy stated the next step is�to prepare the final design.
This then goes to the City Council in the latter part of this year
for approval.
2.11
. i
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19 1997 PAGE 12
Ms. Savage asked if there would be another public hearing at that
time.
Ms. Dacy stated staff would be happy to notify the public.
Mr. VanWormer stated a public hearing is not required, but the
public has the opportunity to comment. If there are controversial
issues, then another meeting would be held to provide information.
Ms. Dacy stated, regarding some of the individual lot owners
comments, she would be happy to contact them directly.
Mr. VanWormer stated they now have the comments. When going into
the final design stage, they can take those into account. He
appreciated the comments and questions.
2. INFORMAL DISCUSSION ON RECOMMENDATIONS REGARDING ZONING
CONTROLS FOR MULTI-BAY WAREHOUSE OR SIMILAR TRUCKING-BASED
PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES
Ms. McPherson stated her.presentation will include a brief review
of the memo included in the agenda packet; a discussion of the
purpose, the problem, and describe the study areas; review a
video; and present their recommendation to the Planning
Commission.
Ms. McPherson stated the City Council established at its
January 27 meeting a moratorium on the construction of.warehouse
and distribution facilities with more than 10 docks. The purpose
of the moratorium was to provide time for staff to:
l. Examine the industrially zoned properties in the City and'
determine the compatibility of warehouse facilities with
other allowable uses in the vicinity, and
2. Review the number and location of the existing warehouse and
distribution facilities and determine if the zoning on
remaining vacant land should be amended or changed to another
zoning classification.
Ms. McPherson stated the problem is that the City has recently
seen the development of approximately 500,000 square feet of
warehouse and distribution facilities in the last l8 months.
Along with that development has come the increase of resident
complaints regarding truck traffic, parking of trucks parallel to
adjacent streets and the public right-of-way, and noise and odor
problems.
Ms. McPherson stated, in 1996, the City established the
2.12
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 13
neighborhood south of 53rd Avenue as no truck through traffic
routes. In addition to the physical impacts of these facilities,
there are only about 90 acres of vacant industrially zoned land
left in the City. There is about 1,040 acres of industrially
zoned land which is about 170 of the City's land area. Looking at
the remaining vacant land and determining what is the best use for
these properties is also the goal of looking at the City in terms
of what types of industrial uses the City wants to encourage.
Manufacturing uses tend to increase job creation as well as
valuation on the sites thereby.increasin�� the tax base for the
City.
Ms.. McPherson stated, in terms of what staff looked at, the City
was divided into three planning areas. The first area is south of
61st Avenue, straddling the railroad tracks stretching from East
River Road to Main Street and south to ttie City border. The
second area is the northeast part of the City from University to
the easterly City borders and north to 0:>borne along the Highway
65 corridor north of Locke Park. The thi_rd area is north of 73rd
Avenue from University Avenue to East Riti�er Road and north to
83rd. It includes some light industrial properties along the
railroad tracks. It picks up the Onaway district and areas next
to the Springbrook Nature Center.
Ms. McPherson showed a video which shows some of the warehousing
facilities in the City.
Ms. McPherson stated the goals of .any potential ordinance
amendment would be as follows:
l. Reduce the impact of warehouse and distribution facilities on
residential properties from truck traffic by: -
a. controlling their location in the City; and,
b. by implementing site design controls.
2. Encourage uses which provide a significant amount of job
opportunities and which require more complex building systems
(buildings with a mixture of uses tend to have higher
building valuations than warehouse construction).
3. Promote "clean" uses which do not produce fumes, odors, or
require outside operations which may cause noise.
4. Eliminate uses which require significant amounts of outdoor
storage, display, or are already permitted in other zoning i
districts (i.e. repair garages are permitted in commercial
districts).
Ms. McPherson stated staff looked at the t.hree study areas, the
2.13
� _ ._ . . . _ .... , . . .....: ,._ ,
PLANNING CO1�lISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 14
number of existing warehouse or distribution facilities, whether
they would have possible expansion opportunities on site, the
amount of vacant land adjacent to the facility, and who would be
affected by the facility (i.e. if there was residential property
across the street or nearby). Staff also looked at the average
floor area ratio. The average ratio of docks to floor area which
is approximately 1:5,000 in a warehouse distribution facility
versus 1:14,000 in a manufacturing facility.
Ms. McPherson stated, once staff completed this analysis, they
identified five ordinance amendment options:
1. Do nothing.
2. Amend district requirements for existing industrial zoning
districts.
3. Amend the M-1, Light Industrial, and M-2, Heavy Industrial,
to allow warehouses and distribution facilities as special
uses only.
4. Amend the M-1, Light Industrial, district to eliminate
warehouses and distribution facilities as permitted uses.
5. Create a new district entitled "M-4, Manufacturirig Only".
Ms. McPherson stated each option has its advantages and
disadvantages which are outlined in the staff report. The first
option has no advantages while there are a number of
disadvantages. The City does not have any control over the
physical impacts of warehous�ng and distribution facilities on
_ residential properties, Any remaining vacant land would then be
subject to the existing standards of the current ordinance.
Ms. McPherson stated the second option has the advantage of
reducing or eliminating the physical impacts on the remaining
vacant properties as well as any future redevelopment
opportunities the City may realize as properties become blighted
and the City needs to encourage other industrial development.
Ms. McPherson stated options 3 and 4 have really no advantages to
the City and have disadvantages in the fact that a number of
existing facilities would become nonconforming and, with the
special use permit option, the burden of proof is on the City to
deny the special use permit. The amendments do not address the
aesthetic or physical impacts of warehouse and distribution
facilities. ,
Ms. McPherson stated option 5 has•several advantages and with no
disadvantages identified. The advantages are that it limits the
�,14
Z'T�ANNING CONIl�IISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 15
locations of warehouse and distribution facilities to those
existing, promotes uses which have less truck traffic, promotes
uses which have higher job generation and building valuation, and
establishes standards to limit outdoor activity or noise, fumes,
and odors.
Ms. McPherson stated staff reviewed the remaining vacant land
inventory of approximately 90 acres of industrially zoned land.
Staff selected seven sites which they fe:1t would meet the need to
be rezoned M-4. This totals about 33.5 acres or about 370 of the
remaining inventory.
Ms. McPherson stated staff's recommendat_ion is to recommend to the
City Council pursuing the following actic�ns:
l. Amend the existing industrial zoninc� districts to establish
stricter standards for corner lots and lots adjacent to
residential districts.
2. Establish a new industrial district entitled "M-4,
Manufacturing Only", and rezone parc,els as appropriate.
Ms..Savage asked if staff were recommendi_ng both af these actions.
Ms. McPherson stated yes. Staff determiried that the best approach
is a two-prong approach - one, to amend the existing standards in
the current districts to encourage stronger standards for corner
lots and lots adjacent to residential districts, and two, to
establish the M-4 district to create a manufacturing only
district, and place some properties within that district to
encourage the development of manufacturing facilities.
Ms. Modig asked, if you did the M-4, Manufacturing Only, district,
does that then allow or have a chance of being spotty all over. and
among other types of zoning in tYie area. "
Ms. McPherson stated it is possible. The sites selected out of
the vacant land inventory are within existing M-1 and M-2
districts. The parcels are not contiguous parcels so there could
be "spot" zoning.
Mr. Kuechle asked what kind of manufacturing staff .envisioned
coming into the City.
Mr. McPherson stated they envisioned uses similar to what is
currently here. Just down the road from the site at 61st Avenue
is Sheet Metal Connectors, a manufacturer, tool and die companies,
small furniture companies, etc.
Mr. Kuechle asked if M-4 allows heavy manufacturing. Can you
2.15
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997
PAGE 16
envision saying making them strictly manufacturing and end up with
something worse than a warehouse?
Ms. Dacy stated staff discussed that at length. On Main Street is
Kurt Manufacturing and a timber finishing use have from time to
time an odor and the City receives complaints from the residential
area. While the language is not yet developed for the district
and because of the location across from a residential area in some
of the cases, staff wants to be very careful about the exterior
impacts. They would encourage uses that have no outdoor fumes and
a small amount of outdoor storage. The types of impacts that will
not cause problems. Staff will need to take a look at the uses
and perhaps make some exceptions or prohibitions.
Mr. Kuechle stated he also thought the idea of restricting
existing ones would be helpful. If you look at the ones on Main
Street, you can identify those that are problems.
Mr. Oquist stated he is concerned about the present owners of
these properties. If you rezone and put on further restrictions,
that makes it more difficult to develop. Also, if this is changed
to M-4, the City will probably within the first year have a
request for rezoning. There may need to be controls on that to
prevent that option.
Ms. Dacy stated this gives the City the greater amount of control
and forces evaluation of the proposed use. While it sounds as if
this is manufacturing only, when looking at the uses in the other.
districts, some of the special uses are really not industrial.
With 90 acres left, she thought the Planning Commission and the
City Council have to look at what they want to see there.
Mr. Oquist stated he has a tendency to look for businesses and
allow rezoning. It could be putting the burden on tY�e present,
owners, and the City should consider that as it goes through this.
Ms. Dacy stated they do need to sit down with the owners of the
properties that are affected.
Ms. Savage stated this sounds as if this is very much in the
preliminary stage.
Ms. Dacy stated this was correct. Staff are convinced the owners
will come back and provide specific information about how the
language should be worded. The City objectives are clear that it
wants to control exterior impacts and the volume of traffic. The
owner's experience can help to write the ordinance.
Ms. Savage stated she agreed with the goals. She felt the
proposal was going in the right direction. She was in favor of
'2.16
PLANNING CON�IISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 17
adopting the recommendation.
Mr. Wedgewood stated, when the City alters zoning and possibly
impairs the value of that property, what liability does the City
have to compensate the owner for that de<:reased value. Does this
amount to taking?
Ms. Dacy stated the City has authority to change zoning on
property. A taking technically occurs wlien there is no reasonable
use of the property. You would hear thai; in the case of an
industrially zoned property being rezonec� as residential. There
are questions of value there but there h��s been a history of case
law which says that, as long as there is a legitimate public
purpose behind the rezoning action and ttiere is some reasonable
use of the property, the courts have tenc�ed to find favor with the
municipality. It is the same uses, same zoning. The only
properties affected are those across froM a residential areas.
There is a public purpose established to protect the residential
areas. In her opinion in this case she did not believe that this
was a taking.
Mr. Kuechle stated, in most cases, the p�-operty would be of higher
value as a manufacturing facility than as a warehouse.. There are
perhaps fewer potential customers for it because of the limited
uses.
Mr. Oquist asked how long the moratorium would be.
Mr. McPherson sta.ted the moratorium is fc�r 120 days. It expires
at the end of May.
Mr. Oquist asked how long it would take t:o get this proposed
amendment in place.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is proposing that, assuming the
Planning Commission concurs and the City Council concurs, staff
would come back at the end of March with the proposed ordinance
language for the M-4 and also the amended language for the M-1 and
M-2 and complete the process by the time the moratorium expires.
Mr. Kuechle asked if the Keller proposal would be affected by the
moratorium.
Ms. McPherson stated it is a distribution activity but it is under
the 10 dock limit so it is not affected.
Mr. Oquist stated, other than being concerned about the present
property, etc., he liked what this is attempting to do. �
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kueclile, to recommend the

stricter standards for corner lots and lots adjacent to
residential districts.
2. Establish a new industrial district enti.tled "M-4,

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
3. REVIEW 1997 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT GOALS AND
OBJECTIVES
Ms. Dacy stated, in response to the previous meeting, staff has
provided the Planning Commission with a copy of the 1997 goals and
objectives for the Community Development Department. Also
attached is a copy of the survey taken of the City Council members
and the HRA and the results of that survey. The comment from the
Commission to the City Council is that you want to get involved in
some of the bigger things and look at the big picture for the
community and participate in that decision-making process. Each
department is now working on their 1998 goals and objectives. Any
comments received at this meeting will be incorporated into the
process to recommend that to the City Council.
Ms. Dacy stated she gave the Commission the 1997 goals and
objectives beeause Councilmember Bolkcom has talked about the
exercise that staff put the City Council through last February.
Staff asked them to imagine driving down'University Avenue and
Highway 65 in the year 2 OOO and asked what they wanted to see.
They identified 12 or l3 items they wanted to see accomplished by
the year 2000. In order to accomplish some of those�objectives,
staff backed those into current years to see what staff needed to
do in order to accomplish that.
Ms. Dacy stated, in general, their priorities from the City
Council have been Lake Pointe, the southwest quadrant, and
housing. Staff have accomplished a significant portion of those
priorities. At Lake Pointe, MEPC is under contract, they have the
indirect source permit, and they are moving on the intersection.
On the southwest quadrant, half of the units are under
construction and they hope that next year will be better. In the
housing area, the City has a very successful revolving loan
program. The Center for Energy and Environment (CEE) is providing
one-stop service for home owners wanting to improve t:heir homes.
The City has also started a dual track process where the HRA has
allocated funds for a focus neighborhood. The Hyde Park area was
2.��
PLANNING CONIl�IISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 19
where they decided to start first. That was the neighborhood that
has the highest number of poorer condition housing. The goal is
to get people out improving their praperties.
Ms. Dacy stated staff has a busy 1997. The priorities are to
continue with the redevelopment projects-; evaluate a point of sale
ordinance, and to try to get off the ground a more aggressive
systematic code enforcement program.
Ms. Dacy stated, in 1996, the City adopt<�d the junk vehicle
ordinance. Mr. Schneider places a placa�rd on the vehicle. The
owner then has five days to get rid of ir_. For this year, the
plan is to systematically inspect half oL the City. They are
trying to team code enforcement with the fire department, police
department, etc.
Ms. Dacy stated staff has enough work fo�- 1997 to take them
through 1998. A State statute mandates t:o complete a new
comprehensive plan by the end of the 1998. The City Council and
Planning Commission need to find what thE� right mixture of citizen
participation for planning is to get a vi_sion of what you want to
accomplish for the City asking the questi_ons what do you want and
how does it get there?
Ms. Savage stated, as she looks through t:he goals and objectives,
this looks excellent. She likes the idea of a beautification
program which improves the image. All the goals are moving in the
right direction.
Ms. Dacy stated the beautification was also a part of the goals
and objectives for 1996. Because there are other issues that come
up, some of these things do not get done.
Mr. Oquist stated they needed to look at programs long term. A
garden is fine for beautification'`as long as people are there to
maintain it, but there must be some things the City can do for the
long term. He felt these goals and objectives were aggressive for
1997.
Ms. Modig stated, when they talked about making some rules
regarding paving driveways, she thought the Planning Commission
decided to leave it as it is. Is that correct?
Ms. Dacy stated the City Council did adopt the ordinance for the
first reading to require those who have gravel driveways to pave
their driveways. At fixst they had a five-year timeframe. The
attorney stated to make it a part,of the law now and the City can
choose not to enforce it for the agreed upon timeframe. The City
has notified affected owners that the City will agree not to
enforce or prosecute under the ordinance for a period of five
.Z.y9
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 20
years. The City Council was willing to pass it for first reading.
One councilmember was conce�ned about the financial impact for
some of the owners: The City hired CEE to try to contact each
owner that is affected to try to determine that. Some owners have
completed their driveways, others will wait the five years.
Others have not responded. CEE submitted a report last week about
the status. The next step is for staff to prepare a report for
the City Council. Staff recommendation is that they adopt the
ordinance for final reading. Many seniors stated to the City
Council that they could not afford this.
Mr. Kuechle asked how many driveways in the City are not paved.
Ms. Da.cy stated staff thought it was about 250 to 300. Some areas
have more than others, but they are scattered across the City.
Mr. Oquist asked if there was notification to potential property
buyers. During that five-year period, homes could be sold and the
new owner may not realize that.this is a requirement.
Ms. Dacy stated they are not required to do so under the law.
That is an issue for staff to evaluate. Administratively, staff
were planning to sent a letter to the people on the list on an
annual basis to remind them.
Mr. Kuechle asked what they thought the costs would.be.
Ms. Dacy stated there is a range of costs depending on the length
of the driveway. The typical cost for asphalt was $1,000 to
$1,200. Staff was trying, as part of CEE's work, to get a list of
people willing to go into a volume contract in order to get a
better price. However, the response is not as good as they had
hoped.
Ms. Savage asked what their'idea was for the trailer parks.�
Ms. Dacy stated the City manager prepared that part. There is no
staff objective to redevelopment trailer parks. She thought the
City manager was trying to give the City Council and HRA a series
of options on different types of housing. �
Mr. Oquist asked if they were planning to do anything about the
junkyards.
Ms. Dacy stated that was identified in the winter of 1996 to
evaluate in 1997. What came up between that time and now is there
has been more attention now in Hyde Park. They had Home Depot
coming in and.the traffic analysis: The Appeals Commission-will
be.seeing a request for a strip mall west of the former Dick's
Wheel on the north side of 57th Avenue. The developer is putting
: 2.2�;
PLANNING CONIl�IISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 21
together his own redevelopment plan. The spotlight has shifted to
Hyde Park and 57th. She did not think staff would be able to
touch the issue of the junkyards this year.
Ms. Modig stated Crysteel truck company have tall storage racks.
The City gave Menards a hard time because they were putting their
storage racks above the fence line. Crysteel has racks about 10
feet higher than the fence. That area is becoming an eyesore and
they keep adding to it.
Ms. Dacy stated perhaps staff should add that as an item. The
industrial land moratorium and the telecommunications moratorium
have thrown off their schedule. That is another reason why it
takes longer than we expect.
Ms. Dacy stated Ms. Modig raised a qood point about the appearance
of that particular area. Perhaps staff should put on the list to
be more aggressive on the code enforcement.
Ms. Modig stated, when the offices were �irst built, that area
looked quite nice. Now there is cardboard or similar materials
covering the inside of the front doors of the building. The area
of 73rd and Central is starting to get worse.
Ms. Savage stated perhaps one of the reasons it is not a high
priority is because it is not as visible. When you have occasion
to go there, it is a mess.
Ms. Modig stated she drives by there everyday. This is not a good
image for the City. She liked the ideas that are included in the
list.
Ms. Modig asked, regarding the intersection at Highway 65 and
Central, when talking about implementation and affecting the
wetland, there is a drainage ditch to the east side. Is that
affected by the wetlands law?
Ms. Dacy stated, on the west side, they will have to address the
wetlands act. She was not sure about the east side.
Ms. McPherson stated, under the 1991 Wetland Conservation Act,
drainage improvements are one of the activities that are exempt
from replacement. They may have an issue with the watershed
district because they have more stringent requirements. In terms
of the State law, that is an exempt activity. In this case, it
may be more beneficial to the lake because not as much silt or
sediment will be dumped into the lake.
Mr. Oquist stated he assumed that, as staff are going through
these things, they will be coming to the Planning Commission for
2.21
PLANNING CO1�IISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 19, 1997 PAGE 22
assistance.
Ms. Dacy stated they would be doing that. She is to be meeting
with the City Manager to discuss the 1998 goals and objectives.
After that is drafted and put together, she will instruct staff to
put that on the agenda for review.

1. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A PLAT, P.S. #97-01,. BY
STEINER DEVELOPMENT INC.:
To replat property on part of Lot 5, Revised Auditor's
Subdivision No. 77, generally located at 193 - 223 Osborne
Road N.E.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND T8E PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:28 P.M.
Ms. McPherson stated the plat request is by Steiner Development
for property generally located at the intersection of Main Street
and Osborne Road, east of the Burlington-Northern railroad tracks
and also east of East River Road. The proposed plat will replat
two parcels of land generally located at this intersection. The
first parcel is approximately 8 acres in area and with a 103,000
square foot office/warehouse building: The second parcel is
slightly smaller, approximately 4 acres in area, and located to
the west of the first parcel and is currently vacant. The vacant
parcel fronts on Osborne Road.
' 3:01
PI�,NNING COMMISSION MEETING MARCg 5, 1997
PAGE 2
Ms. McPherson stated the purpose of the replat is to realign the
common property line to the east. The new plat would contain two
lots as currently exist; however, the common lot line will be
adjusted to the east as indicated on the plat drawing. The
petitioner is proposing to construct a 50,000 square foot
speculative office/warehouse industrial building on the vacant
parcel. In order to meet the setback requirements, the petitioner
is proposing the realignment of the lot lines.
Ms. McPherson stated, as the two parcels will contain buildings
using a common entrance and sharing driving and parking aisles,
staff is recommending that cross parking and access easements be
recorded at Anoka County. In addition, staff received comment
back from the County as Osborne Road is a county highway. The
County is requesting the construction of a"pork chop" median in
the driveway area to limit access as "right in" and "right out" of
the site to prevent any left turn movement onto eastbound Osborne
Road. Staff is recommending a second stipulation which will state
that the petitioner will install the "pork chop" median in
accordance with County standards as requested in their letter
which was received March 5, 1997.
Ms. McPherson stated to access east bound Osborne Road one would
go north to 77th Avenue, east on 77th, south on Main Street and
then east on Osborne Road. While it is not signalized this is a
major intersection.
Ms. McPherson stated, in terms of the M-2, Heavy Industrial,
standards, both lots exceed the Heavy Industrial district
requirements of lot area and lot width. Once the petitioner or a
subsequent developer chooses to develop on the second parcel, the
proper grading, drainage and landscape plans will need to be
submitted at the time of building permit application.
Ms. McPherson stated staff is recommending approval of the request
with two stipulations:
l. Cross-parking and access easement shall be recorded at Anoka
County.
2. The petitioner shall install the "pork chop" median as
requested by Anoka County and by Anoka County standards.
Mr. Kuechle asked what staff's feeling on traffic going out to the
end of the lot and out onto Main Street. That seems like a long
way to go. Will drivers do that or will they try to go around
the median?
3.02
PLANNING CONIl�lISSION MEETING, MAFtCH S, 1997 PAGE 3
Ms. McPherson stated most of the traffic that is currently
occurring along the rear of the building is more of the semi
trailer truck traffic. She stated that 77th and Main Street can
handle that type of traffic. People may try to go around that
island; however, it is pretty difficult sometime to get out at
Main Street onto Osborne Road. The added maneuvering to get
around that traffic diverting "pork chop" may make it more
difficult to do that.
Mr. Kuechle asked what kind of traffic is there. Is it mostly
people who go there for work?
Ms. McPherson stated the petitioner would be better able to answer
that question. With an office/warehouse use, you would see
predominantly truck traffic and typical 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
type of traffic for the office users. Mr. Richter, who is
representing Steiner Development, can speak more clearly as to
what types of traffic they are experiencing at. the existing
building.
Mr. Richter stated Steiner Development developed the Osborne
Commerce Center Phase I. They also own Commerce Circle and bBC in
Fridley. When they bought the land on Osborne Road for Phase�I on
the 9 acres, they developed there the same type of building as for
Phase II which is a multi-tenant office/warehouse. They have a
parking ratio of 200 office/80o warehouse. All hours are 9 to S.
There is no retail. The traffic patterns will work for them.
They initiated that letter with the County so they are aware of
the situation on Osborne. The replat is brought on by making the
Phase II site economically feasible. It is a rather small site
and there are easements on the south side along Osborne Road for
the St. Paul water utilities and on the west side an NSP easement.
The buildable area is quite:small. To make it work, they are
adjusting the property lines to get a large enough building that
is suitable. The layout will be like the existing. The truck
docks will be in the rear and office space in the front.
Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner had any problems with the
stipulations.
Mr. Richter stated no. They have already put easements in their
partnership agreement. On the second stipulation, the letter was
in response to them sending the.County their drawings.
Mr. Sielaff stated the docks are in the back. Where will the
trucks go out?
Mr. Richter stated, because of the wide dimensions, there will be
a one way system where they will move to the west.
3.03
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MP,RCH 5, 1997 PAGE 4
Mr. Sielaff stated the truck traffic would also be going down that
road.
Mr. Richter stated yes. If Osborne does get upgraded, it will
help the situation. Now they have had trouble with tenants taking
turns in there. He did not know what the County plans are. It is
a rather long block. It is unique with the railroad tracks and a
dead end with high speed traffic. Perhaps in the future with
access to the property to the south, it may require
reconsideration.
Mr. Sielaff stated that is not a road there. That is just the
area for the warehouse.
Mr. Richter stated yes, but there is some landlocked property on
the south side of Osborne who will in the future need access.
There may be an opportunity to open that up in the future. That
is up to the County. They are fine with the way it is. They
purchased the property knowing there were some issues.
Mr. Kondrick asked, in that corridor between the existing building
that faces Main Street, could that get clogged with semis and then
prevent people with semis from leaving this facility by the
proposed route. How wide is that?
Mr. Richter stated they have oversized the dimensions so there is
room. Under normal conditions, there is no problem. Maneuvering
may be a problem. That would be their problem as building
managers.

public hearing.

Ms. McPherson stated the request is a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
by Mr. Michael Sehrader representing Alvan Schrader for property
generally located at the intersection of 73 1/2 Avenue and Highway
65. The Commission reviewed a rezoning request from C-3, General
Shopping Center, to M-1, Light Industrial, which the Commission
recommended approval and which the City Council also approved.
Ms. McPherson stated the Comprehensive Plan was completed in 1980
and indicates this parcel as being commercial in designation. In
order to make the zoning and the land use designation consistent,
the City must pass a Comprehensive P1an Amendment. Staff has
reviewed the request with the standards set forth by the
Metropolitan Council, and have found that this change in land use
has no impact on the wider metropolitan system. Therefore, staff
recommends approval of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment.
Mr. Kondrick asked if there were any comments from the neighbors.
Ms. McPherson stated staff received no comments regarding this
request.
Mr. Schrader stated, on behalf of Mr. Alvan Schrader, this request
is to fulfill part of a stipulation for the zoning change for the
property to be developed as a self-storage facility. This is one
of the two stipulations in order to complete this task. He is
available for any questions. There have been no problems with the
neighbors thus far.

Steiner Development requests that property generally located at the northwest corner of the
intersection of Main Street and Osborne Road be replatted. The replat will create finro
industrial lots with the existing common lot line readjusted. The purpose of the replat is to
allow construction of a 50,000 square foot office/warehouse building.
ANALYSIS
The subject parcel remained vacant until 1996, at which time the petitioner constructed a
102,000 square foot office/warehouse building parallel to Main Street on the east portion of
the property: The remaining portion of the property is still vacant.
The proposed plat would move the common lot line between the parcels. The lot line needs to
be realigned in order to meet the setback requirements for the proposed 50,000 square foot
office/warehouse to be built on the remaining vacant portion of the subject site. Cross-parking
and access easements will be �ecorded between the parcels so that they may share a
common driveway onto Osborne Road. Access may be gained from Osbome Road, however,
traffic may not tum left onto Osborne Road. The County has requested construction of a
triangular raised island in the driveway limiting access to Osbome Road to right-in and righ#-
out movements (see attached letter). The access easement will allow exiting onto 77�'
Avenue. The easements should be recorded against the properties.
Both parcels created by the plat exceed the M-2, Heavy Industrial district requirements. The
petitioner will be required to submit grading, drainage, and landscape plans which comply with
the M-2 district requirements at the time of building permit application.

February 27, 1997
We have reviewed the plans of the Osborne Commerce Center Project Phase Two located in
the City of Fridley and offer the following comments:
As previously agreed to the right in access constructed during phase One can be
converted to a right in/right out access for Phase Two expansion. To ensure
that only right in/right out turning movements are made at this access it will be
necessary to include a triangular shaped raised island to sepazate inbound and
outbound traffic and restrict outbound traffic to right turns only. I have
attached a sketch depicting the general shape and location of the required raised
island. This island must meet State Aid Standards. Details of the design of this
island are to be coordinated through Doug Fischer, Assistant County Engineer.
Anoka County H'ighway Department will install all necessary traffic control
devices associated with this island. The contractor and/or developer will be
advised, at the time a pernut is issued, to keep us informed as construction
proceeds to coordinate the installation of these devices.
Please feel free to call me at 754-3520 if you have aznr questions.
Sincerely,
Roger Butler

CITY OF FRIDLEY PROJECT SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST•
Mike Schrader requests that the land use designation in the Comprehensive Pian be changed
from Commercial to Industrial for property at 1155 - 73 %Z Avenue which was recently rezoned
to M-1, Light IndustriaL
SUMMARY OF ISSUES
The petitioner is proposing to construct a 30,000 square foot self storage facility on the
property. The City Council approved a rezoning to allow this development. This development
will add 30,000 square feet of warehouse space to the industrial supply of the City.
In 1995, the City's industrial inventory was reduced by 14.5 acres by a change from Industrial
to Commercial. The proposed amendment would return 9.84 acres to the City's inventory of
industrially zoned property.
RECOMMEN9ED AC�'ION•
The City Council recently approved the rezoning request. The proposed change in land use
designation poses no adverse impacts to the Metropolitan Systems, therefore, staff
recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the request to the City
Council.
PLANNING COMMISSION CTION
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the request to the
City CounciL

Mike Schrader requests that #he land use designat�on in the Comprehensive Plan be changed
from Commercial to Industriai for property at 1155 - 73'/2 Avenue which was recently rezoned

mobile home sales: The Comprehensive Plan designates the subject parcel as Commercial.
Property to the north is designated : Medium _Density Resider�tial. Property to the east is
designated Industrial. This request would be an extension of the land use designation to the
east.
Impact on Metropolitan Systems
The following criteria are based on criteria used by the Metropolitan Council to evaluate plan
amendments:
Changes to Urban Service Boundary
The City of Fridley is a first-ring suburb that is entirely within the Urban Service Boundaries as
defined by the Metropolitan Land Planning Act (Minn. Statute 473.851 - 473.872). Impacts to
the boundary do not apply to this proposaL

Changes to Timing and Staging of Urban Service Area
Staging of the Urban Service area does not apply to this proposal since the area is within the
existing urban service area.
Wastewater Treatment
There will be no increase in the amount of wastewater trea#ment as a result of changing the
land use from Commercial to Industrial.
Discharge to More than One Metropolitan Interceptor

1997A, AND $1,975,000 GENERAL OBLIGAT/ON WATER
REVENUE REFUND/NG BONDS, SER/ES 1997B
DATE: March 27, 9997
The recommendations provided to us by Springsted, the City's Financial Advisor
have been included in the Councilmember's packets. We have been working
with Springsted for a number of months watching the savings that could result
from a bond refunding issue on our two existing debt issues. With the volatility
occurring in the in#erest rates, we feel that we had better proceed with the issue
before interest rates rise anymore.
Springsted's recommendations have been prepared in conjunction with the
above mentioned bond sales. They have provided the necessary preparatory
work required for the sale of the general obligation bonds that will provide
sources of capital to retire the existing issues at their upcoming call dates. You
should note that the total net savings, as calculated by Springstead, amounts to
$1,447,420.92 for the refunding of the G.O. Tax Increment Bonds, Series 1980
(page 5), and another $79,679.46 for the G.O. Water Revenue Bonds of 1991
(page13).
Staff recommends that Council receive the recommendations.

Attached is the resolution that was prepared by the City's Bond Counsel, Jim
O'Meara. This resolution is required to be passed by Council to proceed with the
above mentioned bond issue. This action would start the process for the
competitive sale of the General Obligation Bonds, and provide an appropriate

the recommendations from Springsted, this bond issue is a water revenue
refunding issue that is called a"crossover" refunding. This type of refunding, is
one in which the bond proceeds are escrowed and used to pay interest on the
new issue until the February 1, 2000 call date, at which time the old issue is
retired.
The source of funds for the repayment of the bonds is provided by a pledge of

CITY MANAGER ,��d'
CITY ATTORNEY
FROM: STEVE BILLINGS, COUNCILMEMBER WARD ONE
SUBJECT: PREVAILING WAGE ORDINANCE
Attached is the prevailing wage ordinance for the regular agenda of March 31,
1997.
This ordinance is similar to the resolution that 1 previously presented and was
approved in March of 1990 by the City Council. It is also similar to, but more
inclusive than, the ordinance that was drafted by staff in response to the
Mayor's request.
In 1990, 1 did a detailed analysis of the public works projects that were done
during the period 1986 to 1990. i found that almost all of the contractors that
we did work with were, in #act, paying the prevailing wage. Further, 1 found
that if we had a prevailing wage policy in force during that time frame, the cost
to the City would have increased by approximately 1°�o. Since we have had
prevailing wage in force since 1990, a similar analysis of current data would be
meaningless.
In the proposed ordinance, I have excluded one to four family dwelling units
from the prevailing wage requirements. We are encouraging the revitalization
of our housing stock and are providing loans and grants to accomplish these
ends. Often to get the most for their money, homeowners will perform much
of the work with the aid of family and friends. If someone were to pay their
nephew a few dollars to help with a deck, roof, or painting and staining that are
part of a larger project, we would not expect them to follow all of the prevailing
wage requirements.
� 7.01
Prevailing Wage Ordinance
March 27, 1997
Page Two
In determining the "cut-off" point for the exclusion, I chose to use the Federal
HUD guideline of four families. It is likely that owners of larger properties will
contract out for all of the work.
Although it was suggested that we have liquidated damages in the ordinance
as a penalty, I did not place them there. It wauld seem that liquidated damages
are a civil ( contractual ) penalty that should be covered in the actual contract
language. The ordinance would in all likelihood be enforced by the Courts with
criminal penalties set by the Judge.
Upon adoption of the ordi�ance on first reading, I am prepared to make a
motion directing the City Manager and the City Attorney to draft language to
be used in ali City and HRA contracts, loan agreements, grant agreements, and
development agreements that will provide the necessary procedure for
enforcement of the prevailing wage ordinance and provide for liquidated
damages of five percent (5%) of the contract amount. Said language sfiall be
presented to the City Council at the time of the second reading of the
ordinance.
It would be my intent that this language not become part of the actual
ordinance, but, rather, would be policy of the City. Further, it would be my
intent that this language and procedure. be patterned after that of the Anoka
County and Minnesota Department of Transportation language and procedures.
I hope that I have provided you with what you are looking for. If not please
contact me prior to Monday's meeting, and we can draft a modification that
meets your needs.

CITY OF FRIDLEY PROJECT SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
The request by the petitioner, Dave Ryan, is to grant a variance to: ('I ) aliow an accessory
structure in the front yard; and (2) reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 32 feet (Option
A, attached). Ifthe variance is approved, a 24 ft. by 24 ft. detached garage would be
constructed.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
The subject property does not have a garage at this time. In order to sell the property, it has
been determined that a garage is required. There are alternatives which would allow
construction of a garage on the property without a variance. The variance requested above is
within previously granted requests.
APPEALS COMMISSION ACTION:
The Appeals Commission considered an additional request: To reduce the front yard setback
from 35 feet to 18 feet (Option B).
A buyer interested in the property requested this variance. They withdrew their request after
the Appeals Commission meeting. The Appeals Commission was unable to make a
recommendation to the Council. The motion to approve the variance to 18 feet failed on a tie
vote.
CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION:
As the request to reduce the variance from 35 feet to 18 feet was withdrawn, the Council is to
consider the following request:
1. To allow an accessory structure in the front yard;
2. To reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 32 feet.
The request is within previously granted variance requests; staff has no recommendation.
One stipulation is recommended:
1. The accessory structure shall be architecturally compatible with the dwelling.

The petitioner, Dave Ryan, requests that a variance be granted to: (1) allow an
accessory structure in the front yard; and (2) reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet
to 18 feet. If the variance is approved, a 24 ft. by 24 ft. detached garage would be
constructed.
SITE DESCRIPTION/HISTORY
The subject parcel is located on Hartman Circle no�th of Rice Creek a�d Mahnomen
County Park. Located on the property is a single famity dwelling which was constructed
in 1966. The dwelling was constructed without a garage. In 1969, a 16 ft. by 32 ft.
addition was added to the dwelling. In 1974, a tool shed was constructed. In 1985, the
property owners undertook an erosion control project for the banks along Rice Creek.
ANALYSIS:
The dwelling on the subject parcel is architecturally unique when compared to adjacent
dwellings in the neighborhood (see enclosed article as a point of interest). No garage
was constructed with the original dwelling, and the ow�ers have used a bituminous
parking area since 1966 for the parking of vehicles. The Appeals Commission is being
asked to review two requests in conjunction with this variance. Option A proposes a
detached 24 ft. by 24 ft. accessory structure placed 8 feet from the dwelling. Option B,
requested by one of the potential buyers, proposes a 24 ft. by 30 ft. accessory structure
attached to the dwelling, reducing the setback to 18 feet. Staff has developed Option C
which eliminates all variances.

Code Section for Accessory in the Front Yard
Section 205.04.05.B of the Fridiey Zoning Code requires that accessory buildings and
structures shall be located in the rear and side yards only.
Public purpose served by this requirement is provide desired front yard space to be
used for green areas and to add to the attractiveness of a residential district.
Option A proposes a 24 ft. by 24 ft. detached accessory structure. This structure is
proposed to be located 8 feet from the dwelling. If the setback is reduced to 3 feet, the
structure would be considered "attached" by the Zoning Code; therefore, no variance
would be required. Also, relocating the structure 3 feet from the dwelling unit would
move the structure out of the setback area which would also eliminate the need for a
front yard setback variance.
In Option B, the accessory structure is attached. It is then considered part of the main
structure and would only need to meet the front yard setback requirements.
Option C attaches the accessory structure to the dwelling and eliminates the need for
both variances.
Code Seetion for Front Yard Setback
Per Section 205.07.03.D.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code requires a front yard setback of
not less than 35 feet
Public purpose of this requirement is to allow for off-street parking without encroaching
on the public right-of-way and also for aesthetic consideration to reduce the building
"line of sight" encroachment into the neighbor's front yard.
The petitioner has requested a reduction in the front yard setback of up to 18 feet. In
Option A, if the detached accessory structure is relocated closer to the dwelling, no
variance would be required.
In Option B, if the accessory structure is attached at the front of the dwelling, the
setback would be required to be reduced from 35 feet to 18 feet. A vehicle could be
parked in front of the garage in #his location without encroachment into the right-of-way.
This request is within previously granted variances; however, an option exists to attach
the structure to the dwelling which would not require a variance.
Option C attaches the accessory structure to the dwelling without encroachment into
the setback area.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION: �
As the request is wi#hin previously granted variances, staff Mas no recommendation
regarding the request. !f the Appeals Commission chooses to approve the request,
staff recommends one stipulation:
1. The accessory structure shall be architecturally compatible with the dweHing.
APPEALS COMMISSlON ACTION:
The Appeals Commission was unable to make a recommendation to the City Council
regarding the request. The motion to approve the variance to reduce the front yard
setback from 35 feet to 18 feet failed on a tie vote. There are finro options which do not
require variances.
STAFF UPDATE:
The buyer, whose proposal is depicted in Option B, has withdrawn the request. The
remaining variance request, therefore, is to:
1. Allow an accessory structure in the front yard; and
2. To reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 32 feet
CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION:
The request is within previously granted variance requests; staff has no
recommendation.

Ms. McPherson stated option A is the original proposal as made
request is for two variances. The first is to allow an accessory structu e in theyan. The
front yard
1�8:15
APPEALS COMMiSSlON MEETING FEBRUARY 26 1997 PAGE 2
and, second, to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to a maximum of 18 feet.
The construction of a 24 foot x 24 #oot detached ga�age is being proposed.
Ms. McPherson stated the subject parcel is located adjacent to Manomin Park. A
drainage and utility easement runs across a portion of the property, and a stormwater
pipe is located within that easement so that portion of the parcel is not buildable. The
petitioner's option is to construct a detached garage in front of the dweiling unit. There
is currently no garage on the site. A bituminous parking area is directly off the s#reet in
the northwest corner of tfie site. Under option A, a detached garage would be
constructed approximately 8 feet from the dwelling and a driveway would be
constructed in front of the house. The setback required for this option would be
reduced to 32 feet from 35 feet.
Ms. McPherson stated option B is being requested by an interested buyer. The buyer
is interested in adding a garage directly onto #he dwelling unit in the north and east
corner of the dwelling unit. The request for the structure in the front ya�d would be
eliminated because the garage is now attached to the dwelling unit itself. However, in
this configuration, the setback is reduced to 18 feet from the required 35 feet.
Ms. McPherson stated option C, proposed by staff, is to attach the garage to the
dwelling to the north and west portion of the dwelling unit with the garage exiting toward
the northwest corner of the site. This option would require no variance. However, there
are some questions with the structural connection between the dwelling and garage
which may not make this pa�ticular option feasible. �
Ms. McPherson stated the variances as requested are within previously granted
reques#s; therefore, staff has no recommendation. If the Appeals Commission chooses
to approve the request, staff recommends one stipulation:
1. The accessory structu�e' shall, be architecturally compatible �with ihe �"
dwelling. _
Mr. Kuechle stated the footprint on the plot layout is not the same as the actual
structure.
Ms. McPhe�son stated there was an addition. The survey is the actual as-built survey
of the site as it exists today. The origina! house was constructed in 1966 and an entry
area was added in about 1969.
Mr. Kuechle stated that in looking at the floor plan of the existing house, the fireplace
chimney sticks out but this does not show on the survey drawing. This is: very ..
confusing.
Ms. McPherson stated the survey is #he at-grade plan. There is a roof which should
correspond to the line from the fireplace. Mr_ Ryan could answer that question.
Mr. Kuechle asked the width o# the boulev�:16
,
Ms. McPherson stated the boulevard appears to be approximately four feet.
Mr. Ryan stated they are working with Mrs. Beigum to help her market the house. The
one thing he realized when he first visited the property Was to figure out a way to have
a garage in order #o sell the property. They went through the survey. Once they
discovered the storm sewer easement, they realized why a garage had not been built
before. They were assuming that this was the logical place for a garage but there is no
space there with the easement. They came up with this idea after taiking with six
prospective buyers who were interested in the home. They are trying to get a variance
so he can tell prospective buyers they wiii be able to buiid a garage.
Dr. Vos stated option A proposes a detached garage eight feet from the house. What is
the reason for not putting it against the house?
Mr. Ryan stated a detached garage is the least expensive garage to build. in order to
attach the garage, one would have to do some remodeling. Wifh stafFs
recommendation and their placement of a service door, there is now a stairway to the
loft. If that became a service entrance, one may lose access to the toft or would have
to redo the stairway to the loft. It could be done, but ii would be more costly.
Dr. Vos stated option B would put the garage to the other side.
Mr. Ryan stated that option is a significant remodeling of the house. There is a specific
buyer that submitted that option. They would have the intention of remodeling the
house and putting another story on the house. This would make the house significantl
more expensive than what is there today. y
Dr. Vos stated that if he understood this correct�y, this option has the bi est varian
request of the options. 99 ce
Ms. McPherson stated this was correct. The Commission could choose to recom
only the variance reques# of three feet. mend
Dr. Vos stated option B is to reduce the setback to 18 feet. That is the one that is
presented in the request.
Ms. McPherson stated, yes, that is because that is the greatest extent. They presented
the accessory in the ftont yard as option A and also the grea#est possible
encroachment as presented in option. B.
Dr. Vos stated option A is to aAow an accessory stn�cture in the front yard and option B
is to reduce the se#back to 18 feet. -
Ms. McPherson stated, yes, although there is going to be a minor encroachment with
option A as well.
�8.1i
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING. FEBRUARY 26, 1997 PAGE 4
Mr. Ryan stated that in speaking for Mrs. Belgum, option B is the only option with a
buyer attached. The other options wouid provide her with more marketing options.
Ms. Mau asked where the driveway would be wi#h option B.
Ms. McPherson stated that the buyer would p�efer that the driveway go straight out to
the street. They would try to preserve tfie trees to the east.
Dr. Vos asked if there is a minimum distance to stay away from the street for parking
room.
Ms. McPherson stated the City has granted setback variances in the front yard from 35
feet down to 10 or 12 fee#. Typically, they like to see at least 20 fee# which is � a
minimum standard parking stall. However, 18 feet is not unreasonable with the smaller
cars today, but it may be a problem if you have a iarger vehicle.
Ms. Beaulieu stated that by granting the variance as written, the buyer with option B
could do what they want or, if that did no# go through, option A would fit within that
variance.
Ms. McPherson stated, yes. In order to allow option A, they needed to grant two
variances--one to allow an accessory structure in the front yard and one to allow a
reduction in the setback.
Mr. Kuechle stated one suggestion was #hat the accessory structure requirement be
removed if the garage was moved within three feet of the house. Is there a reason why
this cannot be moved within three feet?
Mr. Ryan stated, no. The surveyoc recommended that be. eight feet per some
provisions from the City. � � ,
Ms. McPherson stated by having a minimum' of 5 feet of separation between the eave ��`
lines plus the overhang on the garage� of approximately 24 inches would increase that
to seven or eight feet which is proposed. That would eliminate the need for a one-hour
fire wall and no openings in the garage stnacture along that side: Any closer than five
feet requires sheet rock and one-hour fireproofing::: Other than that, there is no' physical
reason why it couldn't be brought within three feet. Grass would fiave a difficult time
growing there. The area would probably end up with a sidewalk or patio which could be
icy in the winter.
Ms. Mau stated that other than having to char�ge the structure with option C, that would
not require a variance. Aestheticaily, �t': may actually. look better because it is set back -
further. After driving by and looking at the p�operly, she had a hard time seeing how �
the roof lines would match if a garage was set away from the house. The house seems
set low. With plan C, it appears that the roof lines might be easier to meld together.
Ms. McPherson stated that could occu� : 1t is a flat roofed structure. Someone may
' �' ■Vr��:�.� .. . . . .
decide in the future to change that entirely. The Commission couid choose to deny tfie
variance or could choose a compromise position and a futu�e buyer wouk! know that an
attached garage without any variances would wo�ic, or the City could sta#e there be no
encroachment greater than "x° amount of feet in the front yard. That is what the owner
and the petitioner are looking for. If the Commission chooses to deny the request, the
City Councii would review the request in March.
Dr. Vos asked how much of a grade change there was from the street to where the
garage would be located in options A or C.
Ms. McPherson stated the bituminous paricing area has a 4.5 foot retaining wafl around
it. Once you get past that, it is relativeiy flat.
Mr. Ryan stated that speaking for Mrs. Belgum, he would encourage the Commission to
accept the most libera! variance the City can live with. They are trying to find a way to
market the house to more potential buyers. The most severe variance �equest is for
someone who is considering buying #he property. Option C is a good idea but it would
change the interior of the house and create some problems in the inte�ior. 1f someone
likes what is there, tea�ing ou# that stairway and eliminating access to the loft to have
access to the garage may be a problem. He would rather have approval of the
variance and make some restrictions as to the type of roof rather tMan to have the
variance request rejected. If the variance is rejected, Mrs. Belgum is in a difficult
position to sell the house.
Dr. Vos asked if staff had received any comments from the neighbors.
Ms. McPherson stated staff did not receive any caAs regarding this request.
Mr. Ryan stated the only neighbor with wh�ch he anticipated concem was the nei hbor
to the west, but he raised no objection. `��.

Dr. Vos stated one of the hardships is tha# the easement cuts across the one side of the
lot which forces everything to the front yard. The hardship forces the placement of the
garage but a garage can be put in there without a variance. That pu#s him in a spot. i
18.19
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETlNG, FEBRUARY 26. 1997 __ PAGE 6
When there is a hardship, that is the only thing you can do. Usually you can try to
minimize the variance request. In this case, you couid go 18 feet, 3 feet, or 0.
Ms. Beaulieu stated, if you put the garage to the west side of the house, #hat changes
the interior. She has no problem with the request as written. It seems that if someone
had come in and asked for a variance as in option B with the unusual lot, an easement,
and a creek, she did not think they would have any trouble approving the variance. The
request gives the buyer the choice between any of the three options.
Dr. Vos stated it is a different request because, if we do as stated in #97-02 and the
buyer decides to go with option B, then pa�t of the variance request is not applicabie.
Ms. McPherson stated that was correct.
Dr. Vos asked if that would allow someone to put a small accessory s#ructure in the
front yard because of the variance.
Ms. McPherson sta#ed this could happen. She suggested that if the Commission liked
option B to make it so that they would have to attach the garage. Granting both parts of
the varia�nce for option B would open the door for an accessory structure over 240
square fee# in the front yard in addition to a garage. The only variance that you would
need to be concerned about an accessory struc#ure in the front yard is option A and
then you would limit the amount of the encroachment as a part of the motion.
Mr. Kuechle stated his opinion is to reject the request. He thought there were at least
two viable options to get a garage on this property. He could look at option 6 if the�e
was a solid complete plan for the way the house was going to be redone, how �t,might
look architecturally, and how it would look on the lot. He is reluctant to given an open
book. He did not reallysee the service door issue as being a big one.° There4a�e some
options for a senrice door or no service door .:. If attached, there' could be no sennce � :, ,
door. He did not know that this is=�a blocking` issue for `a garage in that�-location.. -
Because there are two options for the lot, potential buyers have those finro options for a''
garage. If they feel they need the variance, then he thought they needed to see
complete plans on how it was going to fit.
Ms. Mau asked if other homes in the area have smaller setbacks.
Ms. McPherson stated she did not know.` In the eight years she fias been a Planning
Assistant, they have not granted any variance requests in this neighborhood: Some
requests were made but were withdrawn.
Ms. Mau stated that with option B, they are �ttaching the garage in a way #hat you could �
also attach a garage in option C. One could extend part of the garage down into the :
open area just like on the other plan, put the service door in a difference spot so it did
not interfere with the inside structure by #he firepface. She thought a setback to 18 feet
was drastic, and that there are other options.

MEMORANDUM
DEVELOp1V�EN�' DIRECTOR
• arch 27, 1997
TO: William Burns, City Manager���
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Scott Hickok, Ptanning Coordinator
Julie Jones, Recycling Coordinator
SUBJECT: Approval of Curbside Recycling Contract
BACKGROUND
At its March 3 meeting, the Fridley City Councii accepted a proposal from Waste
Management for curbside recycling services and directed staff to negotiate a contract.
Service with the new contractor is to begin Monday, April 7.
PUBLIC NOTIFICATION
The City Council also directed staff to conduct the necessary public notification to
Fridley residents regarding changes to the program: On March 17, a letter was sent to
each�single family (9-4 unit) household in the City, informing them of their new
recycling day. On March 24, a detailed brochure inras mailed to each single family
household. A mailing for multi family (5.-12 unit) property owners is currently being
organized and will be mailed next week. All garbage haulers have been notified of the
new recycling routes, and a 10 minute long video tape has been made for cable
television. We are currently investigating the possibility of modifying extra
neighborhood block captain signs with the new recycling date.
City staff members have received many calls since the first letter amved in Fridley
mailboxes. Questions received can be catorgized in three general questions:
1. Will my recyclables stiU be collected during the remainder of March?
2. Which is correct, the letter i received or the schedule in #he City Newsletter'?
3. How much extra is the weekly service going to cost?
19.01
Unfortunately, the City Newsietter arrived in the maii at the same time as the letter,
telling residents their new recycling day, and the newsletter had the old Friday
recycling schedule in it. This has created some confusion, but we are hoping the
brochure, containing a new recycling zone map, will confirm the correct collection day.
Overall, comments from residents have been overwhelmingly positive about the switch
to weekly service and the addition of plastic bottles. Nega#ive comments have usually
been quickly quelled when assumptions that costs are doubling are corrected.
CONTRACT DETAILS
The Waste Management contract has been developed by modifying the old SuperCycle
contract. There are basically only five paragraphs in the contract that contain changes.
The changes are as follows:
• Paragraph 1: In order to compensate for quickly changing household counts
due to the Christenson Crossing Development, we reworded how the City will
modify the count on certified dwelling units. We also eliminated the
requirement for service to schools since the Fridley schools now have their
own contracted recycling programs.
• Paragraph 3: At the Contractor's request, we added language that allows the
Contractor to request a price adjustment from the City Council in the event
that certain costs beyond their control (such as taxes and fuel prices)
significantly change after the first year of the contract. This paragraph does
not bind the City Council to accept the price change, and, in fact, requires
Council approval.
• Paragraph 16: This paragraph was added to provide service to the door to
handicapped households.
• Paragraph 17: This paragraph was modified to match the new recycling
route days.
• Paragraph 19: This paragraph was added to provide container delivery to
new residents and to replace lost, damaged or stolen recycling containers.
RECOMMENDATION
The terms of the attached agreement with Waste Management are an improvement to
the previous agreement with SuperCycle. The Agreement has been reviewed by the
City Attorney. Staff recommends that the City Council approve execution of the
Agreement as drafted.
19.�2

The Contractor wili not be required to notify the City regarding contamination
levels within the allowable State limits for Material Recovery Facilities.
If the Contractor de#ermines that there is no market for a particular recyclable, or
that the market is economically unfeasible, it shall immediately give written notice to the
City. Said notice shall include information concerning the efforts made by the
Contractor to find market sources, and financial information justifying the conclusion
that the market is economically unfeasible. Upon receipt of said notice, the Contractor
and the City shall have 30 days to atiempt to find a feasible market. During said 30
