FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 8, 1997 PAGE 2
3. APPROVE 1998 GIS RANGE RIDER PROPOSAL WITH PLANSIGHT, LLC:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that during the last year, the
City has joined with the cities of Columbia Heights and
Andover in contracting for GIS services. Mr. Jerry Happel and
his co-worker from P1anSight, LLC have performed well for all
cities. Their 1997 accomplishments in Fridley include: (1)
identification and documentation of existing GIS data bases;
(2) assessment and upgrading of existing data bases; (3)
development of a data dictionary for all GIS files; (4)
development of a link between our GIS software and police
reporting software; (5) updating our GIS base map; and (6)
numerous custom applications.
Mr. Burns stated that as a result of successful performance in
all three cities, staff is recommending the approval of a GIS
Range Rider contract for 1998. Under the terms of the
contract, services to the City include: (1) provision of
networked GIS access; (2) construction of various utilities
overlays; (3) development of a multi-unit address file; and
(4) creation of a building permit issuance file. The cost for
this contract is $47,000 or fifteen percent more than in 1997.
Fridley's share of this cost is $15,666 and $20,000 was
budgeted for this item.
APPROVED THE 1998 GIS RANGE RIDER PROPOSAL WITH PLANSIGHT,
LLC.

aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
ADOPTION OF AGENDA:

OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
There was no response

PUBLIC HEARING:
from the audience under this item of
10. PUBLIC HEARING ON LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT BLOCK GRANT IN THE
AMOLJNT OF 21, 67 9:
MOTION by Councilman Billings to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously and the public
hearing opened at 7:43 p.m.
Ms. Rose Griep, Public Safety Projects Coordinator, stated that the
City has been awarded a local law enforcement block grant in the
amount of $21,679 with the City contributing $2,408. This grant is
similar to the one received in 1996 for $20,056 that was used to
fund overtime for enforcing curfews and surveillance work for
thefts. There are several other funding sources for overtime so
this grant will be used to purchase equipment.
Ms. Griep stated that a citizens advisory board meeting was held to
obtain recommendations for expenditure of these funds. The
advisory group consisted mostly of the block captains for the
Neighborhood Crime Watch Program. After discussions, it was
recommended that the funds be used to purchase a speed trailer,
digital cameras, and a lap top computer. The City currently uses a
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 8, 1997 PAGE 5
speed board that only picks up the first car's speed in a series of
vehicles. The speed trailer will pick up all cars, monitor speeds,
and identify those vehicles exceeding the speed limit. The cost
for this speed trailer is $14,300.
Ms. Griep stated that another recommendation was to purchase a lap
top computer with a portable projection unit to be used by the
neighborhood resource officers to identify areas of crime and other
data during their presentations. The final recommendation was to
purchase digital cameras used primarily in domestic violence cases
to identify personal injuries sustained by victims.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the speed trailer could be equipped at a
later date with camera equipment.
Ms. Griep stated that it does have that capability. It is,
basically, an awareness tool. If there are a lot of traffic
violations in a certain area enforcement would be increased.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked the advantage over the hand held units.
Ms. Griep stated that with the hand held units an officer needs to
be present.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if the advisory board agreed to these
purchases, or if they had any other ideas.
Ms. Griep stated that another issue discussed was greater
enforcement for those persons violating red lights. This is being
reviewed through the GIS mapping. Equipment would be needed for
high speed chases and other tactical type equipment. The board did
not want to support these at this time.
Ms. Griep stated that this hearing is an awareness process for
anyone who wished to voice any concern or comments if they were not
in agreement with the advisory board's suggestions. The public
hearing notice was published in the official newspaper in the event
anyone wished to attend.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that this item was mentioned as
part of the consent agenda at the last City Council meeting. The
City's legal obligation is to hold the public hearing.
No persons in the audience spoke rec}arding this local law
enforcement block qrant.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously and
the public hearing closed at 7:52 p.m.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 8, 1997 PAGE 6
OLD BUSINESS:
11. PRELTMINP.RY PLAT, P.S. #97-04, HEATHER HILLS NORTH, BY THE
PHILIP STEPHEN C�ANIE5, TO RESUBDIVIDE THE PROPERTY
GENERALLY LOC.�TED AT 6217 CENTRPiL AVENUE N.E. (WARD 2) (TABLED
NOVEMBER 10, 1997):
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to remove this item from the table.
Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this property in the
plat is located south of Rice Creek Road, east of Central Avenue,
and west of the Moore Lake Racquet Club. There is an existing home
on the property at 6217 Central Avenue. A preliminary plat has
been filed. That plat has two unreserved issues. They are:
access to heather place, due to a four foot outlot in the Heather
Hills West developments and lot 1 does not meet the minimum eighty
foot requirement of the subdivision ordinance. It will require a
two foot addition to comply with the City's subdivision ordinance,
as it now only has a dimension of 78 feet.
Mr. Hickok stated that this request is to create seven single
family lots in an R-1 zone. Each lot exceeds the 9,000 square foot
minimum required. Six homes will be "paired" sharing a single
driveway and maintained within a homeowner's association, but,
architecturally, they would be individual. The average price of
the homes to be marketed is $300,000 with 1,800 square feet on the
main floor. There would be shared concrete driveways, matching
mailboxes, yard lighting appropriate for the architecture in the
area, as well as an entry monument off Central Avenue. The seventh
lot would be maintained separately with access from the Ben More
cul-de-sac.
Mr. Hickok said the status of Outlot B, Heather Hills West is
without resolution. Without�0utlot B, this plat does not have
legal street access. As of today, staff has not received word that
acquisition of Outlot B has occurred. With the exception of the
access issue and the minor modification of Lot l, the plat meets
the requirements of the subdivision ordinance. Staff recommends
the plat be denied due to lack of required street frontage.
Councilman Billings stated that in a letter dated November 4, 1997
and signed by Mr. Dommer. In the letter Mr. Dommer stated that the
corner lot would be adjusted to meet the 80 foot width requirement.
Councilman Billings asked staff if anything has been received
indicating that this adjustment has been made, and if any
information has been received indicating that Mr. Dommer has
control of Outlot B.
Mr. Hickok stated that staff has not received any further
information on the lot adjustment or control of Outlot B.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if Council was seeking additional
information at this time.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 8, 1997 PAGE 7
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the Planning Commission held a public
hearing. Council either attended this meeting, received a copy of
those minutes, or viewed the meeting on cable television.
Councilman Billings stated that this is not a public hearing, only
an item for Council action.
Mr. Hickok stated that the official public hearing was held before
the Planning Commission.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that when this item was first before
Council, the developer and his attorney were not present.
Therefore, the item was tabled and residents did not comment. This
item was again tabled at the last Council meeting which did not
allow comments from residents.
Councilman Billings stated that this is not an official public
hearing. If Council is prepared to take action there is no legal
requirement that the issue has to be kept open as a public hearing.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that both she and Councilman Schneider
received calls from neighboring residents. She did not want to
exclude them from speaking.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that testimony was heard at the public
hearing before the Planning Commission. She did not want the same
information brought up again. �
Mr. Dommer, the petitioner, stated that Heather Hills North is a
fine project and would create valuable homes. He will try to
introduce new information regarding this development.
Councilman Billings stated that Mr. Dommer, in his letter of
November 4, addressed the 80 foot width requirement for a corner
lot. Councilman Billings a5ked Mr. Dommer if he had a new survey
plat showing the 80 foot lot.
Mr. Dommer stated that he brought a site plan with him that shows
this lot as 80 feet wide.
Councilman Billings asked Mr. Dommer if he has taken control of the
four-foot strip.
Mr. Dommer stated that it is their position that the four foot
strip does not exist, and no one has control of it.
Councilman Billings stated that Council has read all the
information regarding this plat, and action will be taken this
evening. However, he would be happy to hear any clarification of
the points.
Mr. Dommer stated that there are two stipulations in the staff
report that he feels must be addressed before action by the
Council. There is a site plan that shows the 80 foot width on the
corner lot. The rest of the lots are 77 feet wide.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 8, 1997 PAGE 8
Councilman Billings asked if the 77 foot widths were discussed with
the Planning Commission at the public hearing.
Mr. Dommer stated that was not an issue at the time. Staff
indicated that 75 feet was the required width. After the public
hearing staff stated that it did not meet the width requirement.
Councilman Billings questioned if modifications can be made to the
plat without a public hearing.
Mr. Dommer stated that he felt this could be done with a
preliminary plat before a final plat is approved. He would,
however, like to address the two stipulations.
Councilman Billings stated that depending on the outcome of the
four feet strip, it may or may not be necessary to address these
two stipulations. :
Mr. Robert Hensley, attorney for Mr. Dommer, stated that he was
retained by Mr. Dommer to review some of the legal issues in this
case. The primary legal issue involves the four foot strip and to
analyze the history of the strip to determine the legal property
interests. A letter dated December l, 1997 was sent to the City.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to receive the letter dated
December 1, 1997 from Mr. Hensley Re: Philip Stephen Companies/
Approval of Preliminary Plat. Seconded by Councilman Barnette.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the
motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Hensley stated that there were a number of discrepancies and
unusual legal circumstances involving the plat that was approved in
May, 1981. The actual signature blocl� for the plat shows that the
owner of the property, the Peoples Church, dedicated that
particular roadway that was Heather Place in May, 1981. At that
time it was 50 feet wide. Council approved the plat at their
May 18, 1981 City Council meeting.
Councilman Billings asked if there is a quit claim deed that deeds
the 50 feet to the City or the actual verbiage from the plat that
addresses this 50 feet.
Mr. Hensley stated that he was not aware of a quit claim deed.
Only the easement is shown on the plat. Mr. Hensley stated that
attachment 7(to his December 1 letter) shows Outlot B.
Councilman Billings asked if that is what is actually on file with
Anoka County.
Mr. Hensley stated that he does not believe it was actually filed
with Anoka County. He believes that the document filed had been
altered after it was filed. There is no question that there were
changes made. The outlot was not created as a platting process,
but was part of the sanitary sewer project. That occurred in
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 8, 1997 PAGE 9
August, 1981; however, everyone signed the plat and notarized it in
May.
Councilman Billings stated that this would probably have to be
settled in court. He asked the City Attorney if Council has the
discretion to pick and choose what is on file at the County.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated not to his knowledge.
Councilman Billings asked if Council must abide by what is on file
at the County whether appropriate or inappropriately filed.
Mr. Knaak stated that is correct. However, he said that Mr.
Hens,ley has raised some interesting questions with respect to his
review. Mr. Knaak did not know if anyone is in a position to
factually contest it. The issue here is what is of legal record.
It is not in the purview of the Council to make a judgment on what
official record it wishes to choose. There is no justification for
Council to choose some other basis for making a decision. However,
there may be other forums where these issues may be addressed. The
plat that is of record in Anoka County, whether modified, is the
official plat that Council must rely on in making a decision.
Mr. Hensley stated that from their standpoint, in addition to what
was filed, the issue is what Council approved. The Council only
approved a 50 foot wide easement between the church and Brickner's.
The Council, at another meeting, apparently made some revisions
which were after the plat was sworn to and after it was recorded.
He believes there is a 50 foot wide easement available for use.
Any subsequent action is void because Council never followed any
procedure to change it. There are no actions by the Peoples Church
to change it, and they owned the property at that time. There
never was any variance to Brickner's to build a 46 foot roadway.
It looks like everythinq happened later in another process. His
client's position is that there is a 50 foot easement there that
was never altered. What this creates for the City is a four foot
issue.
Councilman Billings stated that this is a title issue that needs to
be resolved between the property owners. The petitioner has the
option to pursue it. Council, however, is not in a position to
pick and choose which document on file at the County they honor.
MOTION by Councilman Billings to deny preliminary plat, P.S.
#97-04, Heather Hills North, by The Philip Stephen Companies, to
resubdivide the property generally located at 6217 Central Avenue
for failing to meet the requirement of Section 211 of the Fridley

13. RESOLUTION NO. 115-1997 DECLARING THE NECESSITY TO LEVY A TAX
WHICH APPEARS TO BE IN EXCESS OF 16 MILLS AND CERTIFYING TAX
LEVY REQUIREMENTS FOR 1998 TO THE COUNTY OF ANOKA FOR
COLLECTION:
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this resolution serves
two purposes in that it satisfies Section 7.02 of the City Charter
which requires a public hearing be held when it appears the tax
levy may be in excess of 16 mills and also certifies the 1998 tax
levy to the County for collection. The impact of this levy would
result in about an $18 increase on an average $90,000 home.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to adopt Resolution No. 115-1997.
Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
12. RESOLUTION NO. 116-1997 ADOPTING A BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR
1998:
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that Council held a public
hearing on the 1998 budget on November 29, 1997. At that time, the
budget was reviewed by the City Manager, and there were no
unresolved issues and no need to continue the hearing.
Mr. Pribyl stated that this resolution approves the 1998 budget.
He reviewed the budgeted expenditures for the various funds. The
total budget is $12,384,876 or a 7.4 percent decrease from the 1997
budget.
MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 116-1997.
Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
14. APPROVE THE 1998 AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY AND THE
FRIDLEY COMMUNIGATIONS WORKSHOP (E.T.C. CHANNEL 33):
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to approve the 1998 agreement between
the City and the Fridley Communications Workshop (E.T.C. Channel
33), and authorize the appropriate officials to execute same.
Seconded by Councilman Billings.
Councilman Billings asked if this agreement allows for either party
to terminate the contract.
Mr. Burns stated that either party can terminate the contract with
a ninety-day notice.
Councilman Billings stated that he has concerns on the whole area
of public access. He felt the cost to the Fridley subscriber was
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 8, 1997 PAGE 11
more than the cost in other communities. He questioned if there
was a way to provide service more economically.
Councilman Billings stated that, originally, there was a board of
directors dedicated to providing quality access to the cable
system. It now appears the majority of the board of directors have
a vested interest in the station. He was not sure the guidance is
there to provide a quality station. It would appear that the board
of directors is interested in maintaining the ability for
programming what they wish and not programming in the best
interests of the City. He was not pleased with the quality of
programming appearing on E.T.C. Channel 33. He has received
telephone calls from many people regarding the prbgramming. He
felt that this needed to be addressed. It is especially important
when the City is supporting the Values First program.

Barnette stated that Councilman Billings' comments are

Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that sometimes the programming has not
been the best. It does not seem to coincide with the City's Values
First program.
Councilman Billings felt there probably needed to be a task force
to look at the models from other communities. He would like to see
the first quarter of 1998 be a time frame to honestly evaluate the
public educational and governmental aspect of our four channels to
see if there is a more economical use and greater quality.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAI{EN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, Councilman Barnette,
Councilwoman Bolkcom and Mayor Jorgenson voted in favor of the
motion. Councilman Billings voted against the motion. Mayor
Jorgenson declared the motion carried by a three to one vote.
15. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that he is proposing a holiday
schedule for the City. There have been extended hours on Tuesday
evenings, but because of the holiday, he is recommending that the
Municipal Center hours for Tuesday, December 23 and December 30 be
8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. The extended hours would resume after the
first of the year. He also recommended that the Municipal Center
be closed at 3:00 p.m. both on Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve.
The Municipal Center will also be closed on December 26, the day
after Christmas. If there were no objections, these hours would be
publicized in Focus News.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTION DESIGNATING OFFICIAL DEPOSITORIES
DATE: December 19, 1997
Attached is a resolution that will appoint Norwest Bank Minnesota N.A. as the City's official
depository for 1998.
We are incurring little cost for the service we are provided by Norwest Bank Minnesota N.A.
At this time it does not seem to be beneficial to solicit for banking services, since our options
are limited within the City. The service we receive is very good; Norwest Bank Minnesota
N.A. has been responsive to our requests for information.
In using Norwest Bank Minnesota N.A. we are able to invest idle cash on a daily basis with
minimum cost to the City. We are able to determine daily needs and invest the balance in a
money market account with Norwest and First Trust. If we were to change t11e provider for
the banking services we would need to change the method in which we invest idle funds and
the ease in which we make deposits.

MOT by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the
reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public
hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:33 P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated, in 1996, the Federal government passed an act
which means that communities throughout the nation will now be
seeing telecommunications equipment, towers and facilities
installed in their communities. In the City of Fridley for the
last year we have had a moratorium to study where it is we want
those towers and analyzing the number of towers and sites that
would be necessary. We now have an ordinance that will help to
regulate the performance standards, bring forth the expectations
of the City as telecommunications equipment and facilities are
installed, and help with the deployment of the equipment. For
those in the telecommunications industry, sites have been selected
5.02
PLANNING COl�lISSION MEETING, DECFI��ER 3, 1997 PAGE 3
and will be open for their installations.
Mr. Hickok stated, as the ordinance was passed, seven sites were
indicated, including Community Park, the recycling center, the
water tower near Highway 65, Edgewater Park, the water tower at
Commons Park, well house #13 at 51st and East River Road, and the
water tower off Matterhorn Drive. In addition, we have existing
facilities off Alden Way on the St. Paul Waterworks surge tower
along the Mississippi River, on the McGlynn's tower, and south of
I-694 between Aramark and Wick's Furniture.
Mr. Hickok stated the tower you might expect to see on these
selected sites could be a monopole structure with equipment
installed on that monopole. These monopoles are engineered to
withstand winds in excess of 100 miles an hour, to be co-location
facilities, and to provide for additional arrays of equipment. In
some cases, equipment needs to be located in a small building
which is located at the base of the structure.
Mr. Hickok stated, as the consultant and staff analyzed this
further from a technical and legal perspective, it was made clear
that we should look for further deployment beyond the original
seven sites. The additional sites include Onan Corporation at
Central Avenue and 73rd Avenue, All Temp Storage at Main Street
south of I-694, Agro-K at Main Street and 81st Avenue, FMC south
of I-694 on East River Road, Parson's Electric on Main Street
south of 61st Avenue, city-owned property at the south�est corner
of Springbrook Nature Center, and city-owned property south of I-
694 between Sth and 6th Streets.
Mr. Hickok stated the Parks and Reereation Commission discussed
the Springbrook Nature Center option and tabled it for further
discussion. He understands that Jack Kirk, Director of Recreation
and Natural Resources, did ask for opinions to get a sense as to
whether or not that site would be an appropriate site. An
informal consensus of the Parks and Recreation Commission was that
this would not be an appropriate site. The Parks and Recreation
Commission will discuss this at their January meeting.
Mr. Hickok stated staff is asking for a recommendation from the
Planning Commission to amend Appendix A to include six of the
seven additional sites, eliminating the Springbrook Nature Center
site. This item will then go to the City.Council on January 5 for
its first reading, and for a second reading on January 26.
Mr. Kondrick stated the Parks and Recreation Commission decided to
table this item because they needed more information. They were
against the tower because of visual concerns. In addition, there
is a site on 81st and Main Street (Agro-K) which is very close so
they questioned the need for another site in that immediate area.
5.03
PL�NNING CON�IISSION MEETING, DEC�ER 3, 1997 PAGE 4
In addition, they questioned why a facility could not be placed on
the NSP towers that are already there. They did not know the
consequences of doing that. They did not want a tower on park
property.
Ms. Savage stated it appears that staff has recommended this site
be eliminated. There are currently seven sites that have been
approved and staff is saying it is necessary to have seven
additional sites of which we are considering six. Will six sites
be sufficient?
Mr. Hickok stated the technology is changing. The industry is
moving towards microcell technology as opposed to the larger scale
macro technology. As we move forward and see the industry
changing, we will move beyond the 13 sites to a smaller scale,
different looking structures or facilities than what we are seeing
today. For this phase and in order to meet the deployment needs
of the industry, 13 sites are deemed necessary. We do have 13
without the Springbrook site.
Ms. Savage asked if staff had received any additional responses
from any of the site owners since the staff report was written.
Mr. Hickok stated Mr. Nelson, Onan, was interested in the
discussion although he did not know a lot about the industry or
what it meant for their site. One of his concerns was the land
under the guidewires and that land being unusable. Mr., Hickok
explained to him that the City is looking at the monopole which
minimizes the land area of a site. Mr. Nelson attended the City
Council meeting to understand more about the industry. At the
time of that meeting, Mr. Nelson was uncertain as to whether the
corporation was in favor or opposed.
Mr. Hickok stated Mr. Holman, All Temp Storage, wrote to let staff
know that he had no objection and that he hoped they would be
approved so they could negotiate with telecommunications carriers.
Mr. Hickok stated staff did not receive a response from Agro-K.
Mr. Hickok stated Mr. Van Keuren stated the FMC water tower is
U.S. Navy property and would take review by the appropriate
officials. The paperwork has been forwarded to those officials,
and city staff is waiting to hear on that site.
Mr. Hickok stated staff received no response from Parson's
Electric.
Mr. Hickok stated the city-owned site at Springbrook Nature Center
was discussed and this site is recommended to eliminated from
consideration.
5.04
P7�NNING COI�lISSION MEETING, DEC�ER 3, 1997 PAGE 5
Mr. Hickok stated Ms. Skarrie, owner of an apartment complex south
of the city-owned parcel between Sth and 6th Streets, questioned
the aesthetic impact. She is interested in approaching the City
about a subdivision at a later time for a piece of the southern
edge of this property to allow the appropriate setback for an
existing garage. If Ms. Skarrie's request does come in and
because this is considered as a telecommunications site, the City
would seek to have equipment installed so that, in the event the
Planning Commission or City Council felt it appropriate to
separate that small piece of property, it could be done while
still allowing that telecommunication facility.
Mr. Sielaff asked why they should approve those sites which the
owners have not responded.
Mr. Hickok stated the ordinance itself is an overlay zone for the
City. Those properties were involved at the time this overlay was
created. We are looking at a deployment service to the community,
and it impacts these sites. This is their opportunity to come
forward. The owners were duly notified.
Mr. Sielaff asked if no response means the owners have given up
their right to object.
Mr. Hickok stated, if the two owners not responding are not
present and the ordinance passes, the next thing to hap�en on the
private sites would be private party discussion about location,
building design, etc. With their site being identified, it narrows
the search area for the industry representatives. That means they
can approach these owners about their site.
Mr. Sielaff asked, if these sites are approved, can the owners
object to it later.
Mr. Oquist stated the owners have had an opportunity. They were
notified and there was na response.
Mr. Kuechle stated, if the owner decides they do not want a tower
on their site, they still have the right to say no to the
industry.
Mr. Hickok stated he would presume there will be some negotiations
between the owners and the industry.
Mr. Saba asked if this was a good faith effort by the City to
provide an overlay for sites.
Mr. Hickok stated this was correct.
5.05
PLANNING CON�IISSION MEETING, DECII�ER 3, 1997 PAGE 6
Ms. Savage asked if this ends up being a contract that has to be
signed by the City and the property owner.
Mr. Hickok stated there is a contract between the vendor and the
owner. The contract is very much like a special use permit with
its own set of stipulations with performance standards and
characteristics for the site.
Mr. Sielaff asked why the City came out with six additional sites.
Mr. Hickok stated staff was originally looking at co-location and
thought seven sites were appropriate. Staff wanted to make
certain we had deployment or coverage of the City. If asked
whether we had been reasonable in our expectations, we would be
able to respond yes. With only City-owned sites, our legal
advisor said we may be setting ourselves up for a lot of criticism
and debate. With a mix of public and private sites available, it
helps with deployment and heads off a later argument.
Mr. Hickok stated the ordinance talks about special use permit
opportunities in the industrial districts for sites that are not
currently designated. The Planning Commission may see requests
coming forward. Staff has tried to determine ahead of time how
much is necessary in terms of land area and site locations. We
also believe it is helpful to the industry because it is easier
for them as well.
Mr. Sielaff asked if it is anticipated that this is the last time
they would amend the ordinance as far as specific locations.
Mr. Hickok stated, with technology changes and more but smaller
sites, he thought the Commission would be revisiting this item
again.
Ms. Modig asked, if we get a response for example from FMC that
indicates they do not want to be considered, would that eliminate
them from the sites and would we then have to designate another
site.
Mr. Hickok stated what may then happen is that well house #13 may
be designed to carry additional facilities in order to provide
coverage for that area.
Ms. Modig asked if the contract for these private sites is between
the carriers and the property owners.
Mr. Hickok stated yes. The performance standards of the City
would apply to those contracts.
Mr. Sielaff asked if surrounding cities had ordinances.
5.os
PLANNING COl�lISSION MEETING, DECII��ER 3, 1997 PAGE 7
Mr. Hickok stated many surrounding cammunities have moratoriums.
Coon Rapids has permitted towers because towers were not clearly
prohibited, nor described in their ordinance. Hilltop is in a
moratorium. New Brighton is looking at an ordinance.
Mr. Sielaff asked if they were informed about the ordinance for
the City of Fridley. One of the issues is the placement of the
towers near the boundaries which can affect Fridley. Is that
taken into account?
Mr. Hickok stated staff have been in toueh with staff in other
communities and share the same concerns about visual impacts, etc.
Unfortunately, we do not have a regional approach. It would have
been better to do it that way, but this is being done
independently. Each City is defining their own parameters.
Mr. Weispfenning stated he came for information on what the
proposed ordinance is like and he had two concerns. First, on the
Onan site, is there language in the ordinance that would have some
limiting power by the City in dealings between telecommunication
companies and the property owners for things like height, density,
placement of the towers, etc.? The Onan site has several acres
and he has not heard there is the possibility of uses such as
that. He does not want Onan to become an "antenna farm". Some
discussion had occurred regarding using the transmission towers of
NSP. He understood there was a representative from U.S,. West here
and asked their knowledge of using existing towers and supports
for wireless communications.
Mr. Hickok stated he would send Mr. Weispfenning a copy of the
ordinance. The ordinance regulates the height, location,
characteristics about the installation, etc. In putting together
the ordinance, staff worked to try to create a set of standards
that would make the visual impact minimal to adjacent properties.
Maximum height in 125 feet. Onan expressed concerns about
guidewires. In this case, we are talking about a monopole which
minimizes the impact and the land area used.
Mr. Weispfenning asked if technology was used for placement of the
towers. Is one tower capable of being shared in order to minimize
the number of structures and still provide coverage? Is it
possible to have more than one standard on a site?
Mr. Hickok stated co-location or more than one user on a pole does
occur. The idea is that these sites will be used to their fullest
potential to provide coverage for the industry but to avoid an
"antenna farm". The technology is here to consolidate uses. As
far as having the technology know-how, we did not have the full
capability to analyze this. The City hired the best consultant in
5.07
PLANNING COI�Il�lISSION MEETING, DEC�ER 3, 1997 PAGE 8
the industry to analyze the issues and to make sure we are being
realistic in our locations and numbers.
Ms. Savage asked if there would be more than one tower on a site.
Mr. Hickok stated that is possible. Each site has its own
difficulties. There are physical things that make it necessary to
put the structures together and to make them as invisible as
possible. They must be near power, placed where they do not
interfere with traffic circulation or become a detriment to
existing vegetation. Onan, for example, has a large area and one
might assume there is room for many towers. However, when you
consider the parking needs, the existing building footprint, and
small ancillary generator uses, etc., there is not a lot of room
left for these things to happen.
Mr. Oquist stated we have identified 13 sites, and this does not
guarantee there will be a tower on every site. We are trying to
be proactive and identify the sites where we want towers placed.
Without identified sites, vendors can negotiate and place towers
anywhere. Federal law also says we have to make this available.
There is the possibility of putting more than one tower on a site.
Ideally, there would be one tower which would be shared. There is
no guarantee of that either. We are trying to be proactive to
identify sites but we don't have a lot of say about how it will be
done. He have tried to get as much control over what happens in
our community regarding these towers as we are allowed.' He
thought this was a good ordinance for that reason.
Mr. Weispfenning stated he had not heard what the status is for
the Onan property and the fact that they excavated for
contaminated soil. Is that site a prime location for a tower?
Mr. Hickok stated he would say no. He thought this would be the
least likely location because of the distance from power and the
soil conditions. This area has been far too disturbed. The soil
conditions need to be very good to hold the tower upright.
Mr. Hickok stated, from the original seven site perspective, staff
looked at the ability to have the land area for the structure to
make them work, to be reasonable in our expectations and to
separate uses. We do not have a lot of sites that have that land
area ability and characteristics that they were looking at.
Mr. Segale stated he has worked with staff and the consultant over
the last year. He complimented them on their due diligence.
Regarding Parson's Electric, U.S. West has had some contact with
them, and they have shown an interest. As far as their no
response to staff, it may just be an oversight. They have looked
in the area and, as you may know, they are in the process of
5.08
PLANNING COl�lISSION MEETING, DECII��ER 3, 1997 _ PAGE 9
building their service now. The two locations U.S. West is
looking at is Parson's Electric and the water tower.
Mr. Segale stated, regarding the transmission facilities, U.S.
West along with other carriers have a master use agreement that
allows them to go on the transmission facilities. U.S. West has
written an individual agreement that says we can go on their
facilities in the metropolitan area. He believed there were 15
locations where they may be placing antenna. When you are up
there, you barely see the antenna and base equipment. We have
been in moratorium for a considerable amount of time. Staff has
done an excellent job. There is room in the future to look at
some of those transmission facilities. They do not fit the need
of U.S. West today. In the future, he would encourage existing
structures like NSP's to be considered.
Mr. Kuechle asked, with the current technology, what kind of
spacing is required.
Mr. Segale stated this depends on the density of population and
traffic flow. U.S. West is looking at a little different strategy
than phone carriers. They are looking at it as also residential
service. For the area of Fridley, they are looking at
approximately 1 to 1.5 miles apart. In the country, the spacing
may be 5 miles apart.
Mr. Kuechle asked if Mr. Segale saw this as staying the same for
PCS.
Mr. Segale stated U.S. West is now providing PCS technology.
MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public
hearing.

MOTION CARFtIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. COMPREHENSIVE PLANNING AREA MEETING: AREA #7
Ms. Savage stated the purpose of the meeting is to solicit
comments about the future of the city. The city is beginning a
process to update its comprehensive plan. This meeting is one of
six meetings which the Planning Commission is conducting to get
residents' ideas about the future. It is not the purpose of the
meeting to discuss individual problems or issues which you may now
have with the city. Rather, the Planning Commission encourages
residents to provide comments about the city's future and what
goals you think the city should pursue.
Mr. Hickok stated the meeting is for planning area #7. This is
the last of the planning area meetings to gather information from
the public about what they wish to see in the future for Fridley
in an effort to aid staff as they prepare amendments to the
comprehensive plan. The comprehensive plan is a document that
s.o1
PLANNING COl�lISSION MEETING, DECII��ER 17 , 1997 `��.� `��_ f'
guides the city in making decisions in the areas of develo�}��.� _
redevelopment, preservation, utilities, transportation, pax-';:„
etc. The document itself is in need of updating.
Mr. Hickok stated, in 1976, the Minnesota legislature pas�e��� ��;e�

prepared its first comprehensive plan. At that time, they j=<a>;:�=

important as staff undergoes this process to take in commer�;����: �� �;��,�t
residents. Some comments have been received through surve���: ��:.t� i:}�
were mailed to residents.
Mr. Hickok stated planning area #7 is located west of East R��.-<�
Road to the Mississippi River, north of Rice Creek, and e�i::��r7;-� ;
north to the city boundary. 1,144 surveys were mailed to
residents in this planning area on November 24 and 67 surv��,� �:�.:;
returned for a return rate of 5. 8 0. Most respondents have k���F�:c�
residents in the city between 11 and 40 years. Most respo�ic�f����
were between the ages of 40 and 60. Responses were groupec� �i;����
the categories of parks, city services, property upkeep,
amenities, city government, taxes, people, access/ locatior��
traffic/speed, safety, land uses, image, schools, cleanlines� ��
streets, and snow removal. Generally, respondents were ve��f
satisfied with the parks, amenities, people and access/loca��-:���z�o
Less favorable responses were noted in the areas of propert�
upkeep, traffic/ speed, and land uses. ,
Mr. Hickok stated staff is now gathering data. As they mo�i�

1970's, there were changes made to the switching yards which
enable the railroad to switch cars and other things. Over time,
that industry has grown. His guess is that there has been an
increase in the number of trains and cars. The city has received
a number of comments. As these calls come in, they are provided
with the Federal safety standards so they understand why the
whistles are blown at these distances and why they continue to
blow them for a time. We have had questions as to whether the
city can control this. The city cannot. The city is pre-empted
by the Federal government regulations. We can make comments to
them about that.
Ms. Savage asked what citizens can do when they have concerns
about the trains.
Mr. Hickok suggested citizens call Burlington Northern. If
someone has a general question about the Federal regulations, they
can contact Mr. Hickok who will provide information about
enforcement. Mr. Hickok will try to get the name of a contact
person at Burlington Northern and residents can contact him for
the name of that person.
Ms. Ruschy stated she had a conversation with a Burlington
Northern employee at an October safety program. At that time, he
said there were at least 50 trains that go through there a day.
The whistles are louder in the winter because there are no leaves
on the trees and the air is denser. The whistles are louder
because they built new homes where there once was a wild area and
they installed hills to protect the homes from the railroad
tracks. When the hills were put in there, the whistles got
louder.
Ms. Ruschy stated she has several concerns. She feels at times
that in this portion of Fridley they are forgotten when it comes
to dealing with street signs, crime watch signs, etc. She feels
they are forgotten there because they are not specifically in the
area. They cannot have the neighborhood values signs there
because they are not in the Fridley school district. Her wish is
that there would be more cooperation between having the children
who live in this area going to the Fridley schools. In a way,
they don't belong anywhere. The Coon Rapids district is very
large. Fridley High School, she did not believe, was filled to
capacity. Something might be considered where an arrangement
could be made for the children to go Fridley schools with busing
made available.
Ms. Ruschy stated she has another concern about their neighborhood
enforcement officer. She was called with a question concerning a
f.03
PLANNING CON�ISSION MEETING, DECII��ER 17, 1997 PAGE 4
specific incident from two weeks ago, and he never returned her
call. When she did reach him, he said there was no record of an
incident on her block, but three neighbors saw it and approached
her about it. She called him, and he stated there was no record
of the police being at this address on her street. The neighbors
however saw three police cars there. If the neighborhood officer
could not tell her because this was of a seeret nature or
something, she could have accepted that explanation but he stated
there was no record. She called several days later and asked the
police department why they were there. At this time, the women
she spoke with gave her all the information that she needed to
know. The neighborhood enforcement officer has the responsibility
of communicating with the neighborhood, and it does make her feel
comfortable with what has been happening.
Ms. Ruschy stated she knows that officers volunteer for specific
areas. She does not know if the officer was ill and could not �
call back. She stated she would like to know, and he stated he
would get back to her and he did not call. She feels that they
are discounting their concerns about the neighborhood and being a
neighborhood watch person. Her neighbors had a question about
what was happening and asked her to find out for them.
Ms. Ruschy stated she enjoys living in Fridley and looks forward
to the changes that will be taking place in the comprehensive
plan. She has concerns about the construction and delay in
traffic on East River Road. She would like to hear more about how
that is going affect their daily lives, when it is starting, and
how that will happen.
Mr. Hickok asked Ms. Ruschy to clarify her comments about the
signs.
Ms. Ruschy stated her one concern wa� the crime watch signs. They
have never had one.
Mr. Hickok stated he will provide information on how to obtain a
crime watch sign, and he will pass along the information regarding
the neighborhood incident to the police department.
Mr. Hickok reviewed the comments received from the surveys.
Ms. Savage stated comments about dark streets and the lack of
street lights have been received from a number of areas. In a
neighborhood in Minneapolis, they added ornamental lights and, at
the same time, crime had gone down. She thought that is something
the city could work on.
Ms. Modig stated there was at one time a ban on gas lights in the
individual yards. She asked if that was still in effect.
s.o4
PLANNING COI�Il�IISSION MEETING, DECII��ER 17, 1997 PAGE 5
Mr. Hickok stated he did not know and that he would follow up on
that.
Ms. Modig stated this information could be included in the
newsletter. She would be interested to know whether residents
could have an ornamental gas light and, if not, an electrical
light instead. There are areas where these ornamental lights
would be nice to have.
Mr. Hicks stated, regarding the crime watch sign, there is a way
to get a crime watch sign.. It is a matter of getting the people
in the neighborhood together and getting the sign. It can be done
but it takes some commitment.
Mr. Hicks stated, regarding the railroad tracks, Hartman Circle is
a death trap in the morning and evening getting in and out of
there. There have been some accidents but someday there is going
to be a bad one. The traffic moves fast on East River Road. When
you pull out of Hartman Circle whether going north or south, there
is a wall. You cannot see far enough back to get out their
safely. He tells people they live on the wrong side of the tracks
in Fridley. Because of the railroad, you cannot get through
there. He has had days where he has been across there four times
and was stopped three times at the same crossing. It seems there
should be some limit that the railroad can block these crossings.
This seems like a safety problem for emergencies. Frequently,
traffic is blocked for a long time. Another concern is that there
are many motorists who ignore stop signs and no turn on red.
There are any number of times that your life is in danger trying
to enter a street.
Ms. Strand stated she organized the Riverview Heights area before
becoming a block captain. They did meet and asked for a sign for
a year. At that time, Bonnie Haffa had asked for a sign but they
never did receive it. They have had several block meetings and
they gather several times a year for block parties so they should
be able to get a sign.
Ms. Strand stated their park was greatly improved in the last year
but they find some unwanted things going on there such as the
destruction of property. The children do not want to go there
anymore because the teenagers harass them out of there. That is a
big concern in the neighborhood. They have several houses that
seem to be attracting problems. This has been addressed but she
does not know what is happening. When officials are called, they
are not receiving calls back with information.
Ms. Strand stated the streets are pretty good. She would like to
find a way to lower the speed limit by the park to 20 miles per

his neighborhood has a few real doozies. He does not feel �"�..t

Mr. Stahlberg stated they had talked about parks. In some c�:� �:he
parks, they have put in some nice colorful playground equip��r;���.
The park at 79th Way on the Mississippi River gets very•li��,:'.c-

Mr. Stahlberg stated there was a comment about people runn:�..:,. �.;�

Mr. Stahlberg stated, at Springbrook on 85th, the speed 1i.7.3�
50 mph. This is a commercial area. You have people pulli.6.? `
and out of the theater, the shopping area, the industrial L��:.
across from Springbrook, etc. That speed should be 35 to �!,.�
s.os
PLANNING COI�SISSION MEETING, DECII��ER 17, 1997 PAGE 7
especially in the spring when the road starts to roll. At 50 mph
near the railroad tracks, you nearly become airborne. He thought
this should be addressed.
Mr. Stahlberg stated his first issue is the junk cars and houses
that are not being kept up. That is the first thing that gets a
neighborhood going downhill. In his neighborhood, there have been
vacant lots for sale for 5-6 years and no one buys them. He is
assuming they are standard lots. No one wants them because they
are so close to these junk yards. The vacant lots on Glencoe
where the city took out houses were nearly given away at $3,000
per lot when anywhere else in the city they are going for $20,000
or more, especially that close to the river. The city buys the
property, knocks down the houses, and then gives the lot away for
$3,000. If you would run that through a realty company, you could
get more money than that. He thought the city was losing money
that way.
Ms. Savage stated the issue of junk cars is a concern in many
areas.
Mr. Hickok stated that junk cars were not overlooked in the
survey. The city has had over 280 cases this year on junk cars
alone. Of those, 188 cars were placarded where the owner is given
5 days to get the vehicle operational, stored or off the property.
Out of the 188 vehicles that were placarded, less than 1°s were
towed. The city has a code enforcement officer that re�sponds to
these types of issues. The 280 junk cars is only one of the
issues. The city has a systematic process, and the goal is
inspect the entire city to eliminate junk vehicles and to
eliminate the need for residents to call about neighbors. Staff
will continue to work on that until the junk vehicles are cleaned
up. While part of the city has been done, we have not yet been to
this specific neighborhood with the systematic process. He can
say, however, that many of the vehicles that were towed were from
this neighborhood.
Mr. Hickok stated a building permit is alive for 120 days. The
process is structured to allow people to work on their own home.
It is difficult from an enforcement standpoint to know if trim has
been put on, detail work done inside, etc., to keep a building
permit alive. He did not have a response to the suggestion of a
performance bond. The city is guided by the State and Uniform
Building Code.
Mr. Hickok stated, regarding the vacant lots, the city has a
housing replacement program. He thought one has to look beyond
the cost of the lot.� If the city turns around a lot that they
have purchased, the idea is to get a home of greater value back on
it within a given period of time. There are stipulations involved
�.��
PLANNING CON�IISSION MEETING, DECII�ER 17, 1997 PAGE 8
when buying a lot. The buyer must agree to put a home on it
within a certain period of time, the home must be of a certain
value, and the city must approve the design. It is more of a
partnership to get a home back on the lot, creating some tax
value, and getting a reinvestment in the neighborhood. (nihile the
price of the lot may look cheap, we have a number of lots
available and have little interest from realtors or others to buy
them.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the building permit needed to be displayed.
Mr. Hickok stated yes. The permit must be seen from the street.
Mr. Sielaff asked if there was a expiration date.
Mr. Hickok stated the project is kept alive as long as the
resident continues to work on it. If they were to stop working on
a project and let it sit for 120 days, their permit would become
ineligible and they would need to get another permit.
Ms. Strand stated she had a permit and her time was within a year.
She put in new windows and new siding. When the year was up, the
inspector called to inspect the house. But she has seen some
houses which have displayed the building permits for 2 or 3 years.
She thought these people should be called.
Mr. Hickok stated the inspectors do call. If they have not heard
from a property owner or have seen activity from the street, they
will call to make sure the project is moving forward.
Mr. Ruschy asked when the city would begin the systematic code
enforcement in their area. She is specifically interested in how
three houses are kept up on Janesville. She calls once in a
while, and it seems that nothing is happening. One house is
vacant. The city was going to buy it but the owner then decided
to fix it up. It is stilZ sitting there. One is owned by an
elderly couple who now live somewhere else. This seems to be a
place where crime happens. What can the city do about those
houses or to communicate with the residents about what is
happening with them in the process?
Mr. Hickok stated the city has an inventory of vacant homes which
they keep and which is coordinated with the utility billers. They
check with the code enforcement staff. If there is suspicion of
criminal activity, that is coordinated with the police department.
It is possible when someone calls in that they may talk to the
housing coordinator who may be talking with the owners about a
possible purchase, to the code enforcement officer if their is a
code issue about property conditions, or to the law enforcement
officials if there is criminal activity. In the scattered site
• f.
•
PI�ANNING COI�lISSION MEETING, DEC�ER 17, 1997 PAGE 9
housing program, we do not purchase property unless there is
dangerous property that is harmful to the health, safety and
welfare of the neighborhood. It is a negotiated purchase between
the city as a buyer and the owner. One of the homes mentioned on
Janesville was one that the city was interested in purchasing.
The owner however decided to keep it and make some improvements.
Mr. Hicks stated there are over 300 block watch captains in
Fridley. He wondered if there could be cooperation between the
block captains and the police department regarding vacant homes?
Mr. Hickok stated this seems like a good suggestion. While he
cannot speak for the police department, staff are interested in
getting any help possible on abandoned properties.
Mr. Bromenschenkel stated, when talking about houses being
improved, would there be any merit to the City of Fridley before
property is sold having a code compliance inspection to bring the
property up to code before selling.
Mr. Hickok stated, in 1997, they did an extensive evaluation of a
point of sale ordinance that would require an inspection and to
bring properties up to code. They found that this is an
information only process in communities that now do this. Other
communities have a hazardous condition correction process where
the person selling the property is responsible to make
improvements. This did not address the issues which tYie speakers
are talking about. The things you see from the street may require
a housing maintenance program.
Mr. Sielaff stated he is hearing that the truth in housing which
is information only does not make any difference as to whether the
house is improved by a buyer. � .
Mr. Hickok stated the truth in housing is a disclosure document
that is information only. The point of sale ordinance
investigated by staff on paper may appear to be the way to get
some of the code enforcement issues taken care of, but staff found
that this is an information only mechanism as well. To take it a
step further, you would need to have inspectors on staff separate
from building code inspectors which would be a considerable
investment for what they were finding. They did some sample
inspections just to see how the point of sale ordinance would
impact owners. There were few things revealed. Many issues found
predated the code requirements.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the inspections required to b� sure the
improvements had been made was not worth the cost to do that.
Mr. Hickok stated, if you are really revealing hazardous
f.09
PLANNING COI�IISSION MEETING, DECII��ER 17, 1997 PAGE 10
conditions, that is a wonderful thing. To truly be an
enforcement, you would have to a staff of inspectors, an unbiased
inspection by a third party, and another inspector to make sure
the work is done. We do not have the staff. From what was found
in the sample inspections, there weren't the type of conditions
you might expect through this process. The majority of the items
predated the code. A housing maintenance code would address those
visible things that people are more concerned about.
Mr. Sielaff asked if there was any benefit to have the disclosure
of information.
Mr. Bromenschenkel stated Minneapolis has truth in housing which
is an awareness of what the house does or does not have. The City
of New Hope requires the homeowner pay a fee up front to have the
inspection. If there are code compliance problems, the owner has
to have them repaired before they can actually close. He can see
in one respect what they are looking at. Going through this is
expensive. HUD now requires a buyer to either accept a third
party coming out and paying for the inspection or having a team of
inspectors go out, do the inspection and submit a report. Perhaps
that would offset some of that. It would help in code compliance.
He thought the truth in housing was a joke. It is an awareness.
The truth in housing does nothing for the buyer.
Ms. Bolkcom stated her house was inspected when the city was
considering the point of sale ordinance. The issues that came up
were things like the traps in the back flow preventers. When they
looked an ordinance, they wondered what they could do to help fix
up homes and encourage people to maintain them? Most of the
inspections were not getting at that issue. There is a difference
between a house being sold and a house that has people living in
it for years. They are still looking at other options for
maintaining homes. They were in favor of an ordinance, but after
having the inspections done and not finding any obvious issues,
they did not proceed.
Mr. Hicks stated, �egarding the truth in housing, his family sold
a house in Ramsey County a few years ago. In order to sell, some
issues had to be resolved in the City of St. Paul. They had to
pay someone to come in and inspect, make out a report, and get the
permits for which they paid a fee. The City of St. Paul stated
tl-� work would be inspected but no inspection was ever done. They
did the work and the house of eventually sold, but there was no
follow up by the St. Paul inspectors.
Ms. Strand stated her home would probably never pass an
inspection. When she bought the home, the air exchanger was held
together with duct tape. When the home was inspected before the
sale, it passed. The realtor stated it depended on the inspector.
s.10
PLANNING COI�iISSION MEETING, DECII��ER 17, 1997 _ PAGE 11
Ms. Strand stated the neighborhood officers have gone to 12-hour
days and perhaps the contact officer does not work as often as
they used to. She was wondering if going back to 8-hour days
would provide more contact with the officers on a more regular.

the south lot line of Lot 2, Block 2, Caba Realty First
Addition, generally located at 8200 University Avenue N.E.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HF�ARING OPEN AT 8:50 P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner had a conflict and was unable to
attend the meeting.
Mr. Hickok stated the request is by Bachman's, Inc., for a retail
facility. The city recently completed a rezoning for the C-2
parcel and a plat along with Sam's Club to create an individual
lot for the 25,000 square foot retail facility. Construction of
the facility is now underway and soil correction is being done.
In the process of doing the title work, a survey revealed a
residual easement running through the parcel in a east/west
fashion. Bachman's is asking for that easement to be vacated. In
exchange, they have agreed to dedicate an new easement along the
northerly property line. The adjacent property has a five-foot
easement which would be matched by Bachman's to provide a ten-foot
easement. Ten feet is the amount of space required to the City to
access the area in order to do repairs. The new easement would
still lead to the storm pond shared by Sam's Club and Bachman's.
Mr. Hickok stated staff has reviewed the vacation request and
recommends approval with the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall dedicate a 190 foot long by five foot
wide easement along the northwest lot line of Lot 2, Block l,
Walton 2nd Addition. The easement document shall be prepared
by the petitioner and submitted to the City by January 23,
1998. The petitioner shall record the easement within 30
days of City Council approval.
2. The easterly 550 feet of the easement shall be vacated in
order to keep a continuous easement along the north lot line
of Lot 2.

CITY OF FRIDLEY PROJECT SUMMARY
DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
Todd Bachman of Bachman's Inc. requests that the City approve a vacation of the five foot
drainage and utility easement on Lot 2, Block 1, Walton 2"d Addition. The vacation of this
easement will allow a nursery and garden center to be constructed on this lot. The store itself
will be 25,000 square feet and will be located at 8200 University Avenue N.E.
A plat, rezoning, and special use permit were recently approved for this project.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
A 5' x 555' easement currently exists through the middle of the property where the Bachman's
store is to be constructed. In a discussion with the Public Works department, a determination
was made that there are no utilities in the easement to be vacated, and therefore this easement
can be vacated.
Staff recommends, however, that the petitioner dedicate a 190 foot long by five foot wide
easement along the lot line just west of the easement to be vacated. By dedicating this
easement, there will be a continuous five foot easement along the entire north lot line of Lot 2.
The 190 foot easement will connect to an existing five foot easement which runs along the
remaining portion of the north lot line of Lot 2.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommended that the City Council approve this vacation request,
SAV #97-02, with finro stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall dedicate a 190 foot long by five foot wide easement along the northwest
lot line of Lot 2, Block 1, Walton 2"d Addition. The easement document shall be prepared by
the petitioner and submitted to the City by January 23, 1998. The petitioner shall record the
easement within 30 days of City Council approval.
2. Only the easterly 550 feet of the easement shall be vacated.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning Commission's
recommendation and approve this vacation request.

The subject property is located north of Sam's Club at 81 �` and University Avenues.
The property is currently vacant, and the petitioner is proposing to construct a 25,000
square foot masonry retail facility with an additional 7,000 square feet of greenhouse
space and 66,000 square feet of outdoor sales and storage area.
During the closing for the Bachman's project, it was discovered that a 5' x 555' utility
and drainage easement exists on what had been a former lot line from the underlying
plat. Through the Walton Addition replat process, much of what had been Caba Realty
1 St Addition now has become Lots 2 and 3, Walton 2"d Addition. Unfortunately in this
case, the utility and drainage easement did not automatically become vacated once the
new plat was approved. The easement must instead be officially vacated.

In addition, staff recommends that the petitioner dedicate a 190 foot long by five foot
wide easement along the lot line just west of the easement to be vacated. By
dedicating this easement, there will be a continuous five foot easement along the entire
north lot line of Lot 2. The 190 foot easement will connect to an existing five foot
easement which runs along the remaining portion of the north lot line of Lot 2.
There are no utilities in the easement to be vacated.

MEMORANDUM
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: December 17, 1997
TO: William Burns, City Manager �'t'�3'`
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Grant Fernelius, Housing Coordinator
SUBJECT: Establish Public Hearing for 1998 CDBG Program
Every year the City Council is required to conduct a public hearing to review the
projects which will be funded under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
program. This year applications are due at Anoka County by February 13, 1998.
In previous years, the Council's practice has been to conduct the public hearing first
and then approve the actual application at a following meeting. Becaus� the priorities
for funding already have been established along with the specific agencies to be
funded, it seems appropriate to approve the application the same evening as the public
hearing.
Attached is the CDBG budget for 1998 along with the public service agencies which
were funded last year. Unless otherwise directed, staff will prepare the application
following last year's funding formula. We also plan to submit an application for the
Project Priority Fund to supplement the housing rehab program. The details for this
new fund have not been worked out yet by the County. We will keep you updated on
this issue and come back to the Council for further discussion at a future meeting.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council establish a public hearing for January 26, 1998
to review the 1998 CDBG application. After the public hearing is closed, it is also
proposed that the Council approve the application on January 26, 1998.

MEMORANDUM
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: December 18, 1997
TO: Wiiliam Bums, City Manager���
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator
SUBJECT: Public Hearing on Zoning Text Amendment, ZTA #97-04,
by the City of Fridley, to Designate Seven Sites as
"Approved Sites" for Telecommunication Towers or
Antennas on Existing Buildings
-•� •
As you are aware, the City of Fridley has spent the past year carefully analyzing
locations for the deployment of telecommunication towers and facilities. The analysis
resulted in a consensus on a mixture of publicly- and privately-owned sites strategically
located to minimize impacts, and also to provide adequate wireless service for residents
and businesses. The purpose of this application is to amend Appendix A, to add seven
additional sites to be considered as "approved sites" or permitted uses. Seven
municipally-owned sites have already been approved by the City Council.
After further study and advice from the industry legal and technical experts, seven
additional sites are proposed as approved sites; two are City-owned and five are
privately-owned. Those sites are:
• Onan Corporation; 1400 - 73rd Avenue
• All Temp Storage; 5400 Main Street
• Agro-K; 8030 Main Street

• United Defense/Navy Water Tower; East River Road south of I-694
• Parson's Electric; 5930 Main Street
• City-owned property lying between the Burlington Northem Railroad and Hickory
Street; southwest corner of Springbrook Nature Center
• City-owned right-of-way south of I-694 adjacent to Lot 30, Block 10, Hamilton
Addition to Mechanicsville; befinreen 5�' and 6"' Streets
� : • , • • �� ' ' • ' ���i�]�L���
Onan Cor or�tion
Staff contacted Mr. Woody Nelson of Onan Corporation and provided Mr. Nelson with
photos of typical wireless facilities and briefly reviewed monopole technology. Mr.
Nelson did not attend the Planning Commission public hearing. We will contact him
prior to the Ci#y Council hearing.
All Temp Storaae
Mr. John Hollman of All Temp Store has submitted a letter stating: "We have no
objections to our selection and hope that we will be approved to negotiate with
telecommunications carriers in this regard.° (see attached)
_• • .
There has been no response from this owner. Staff will attempt to confirm their position
by the City Council hearing.
United Defense
Mr. Jeff Van Keuren of United Defense stated that the water tower is technically on US
Navy property; however, the paperwork has been sent to the appropriate officials and a
response will be forthcoming the first week of January. No representatives from this
location attended the Planning Commission public hearing.

Parson's Electric
There was no response from this company; however, Mr. Andrew Segale of US West
indicated that he has been in contact with Parson's Electric and they are in favor of
having their site selected as a telecommunications equipment site. No representatives
from Parson's Electric were present at the Planning Commission public hearing.
. -. . ..-� �- . - . . . .. .., �. _ -� -
Jack Kirk and Siah St. Clair met with Barbara Dacy on the site to discuss the potential
of a monopole in this location. Jack and Siah were both concerned about the impact on
the natural setting in this location. The creek and bridge to the walking trail are very
close to this site. They were not in favor of the use of the property for any type of
telecommunications equipment. They did indicate, however, that equipment that has
been properly designed to blend on the existing NSP structures west of Springbrook
would be an agreeable alternative.
The Parks & Recreation Commission discussed this issue and tabled it due to their
requiring additional information not available at their November meeting.
. -....- . ���•••
Ms. Harrier Skarrie, owner of the apartments south of this parcel questioned the
aesthetic impact. She is interested in a minor subdivision to acquire five feet of #he
proposed site to rectify a setback deficiency created at the time the apartment garages
were built. Staff believes that a minor subdivision will be possible while allowing the
remainder of the site to be utilized as an approved telecommunication site. Staff did
discuss the performance standards required to minimize the aesthetic impacts on Ms.
Skarrie's property as well.
. � �.� . _.. � _ �
The City Council approved second reading of the telecommunications ordinance on
Monday, November 24, 1997. An amendment to Appendix A of that ordinance
specifying sites is the issue being considered at this time.
A public hearing before the Planning Commission was held on December 3, 1997. The
City Council first reading is scheduled for January 26, 1998 and second reading is
scheduled for February 9, 1998.

The Planning Commission recommended approval of six of the seven sites identified.
Due to the potential for disruption of the natural amenity of the Springbrook Nature
Center, the Planning Commission recommended that the Springbrook site be
eliminated from consideration.

Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the public hearing. First reading of the
ordinance will be on January 26, 1998.

Dear Barbara:
We have reviewed Scott Hickok's letter of November 17th regarding the telecommunication
tower and possibility to be a location for a tower and facility sight. We have no objections to our
selection and hope that we will be approved to negotiate with the telecommunications carriers in
this regard.
It is my understanding that the only reason for us to attend the planning commission and/or city
council hearings would be if we had an objection to our selection. Please let me know if there
would be some positive reason for us attending one or both of these meetings.
Yours very truly,
