DRIVE INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENT AND REPEALING
RESOLUTION NO. 16-1998:

resolution that was approved at the March 16 City Council meeting. MnDOT
requests that the right-of-way dedication not be tied to a future plat, as it was in
the former resolution. This resolution authorizes the use of former highway right-
of-way for use in constructing the Lake Pointe intersection improvements. Since

parcel and the preceding parcel are to be part of the right-of-way parcel. These

TO THE COUNTY OF ANOKA, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 8100 EAST
RIVER ROAD N.E. (WARD 31:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, explained that the County is requesting that Fridley
transfer a 17 foot wide strip of easement property that runs north and south in
front of the Texaco Station at 8100 East River Road to them for use in improving
East River Road. Since the conveyance will not pose any issues for our Public
Works Department, staff recommends approval of the transfer.
APPROVED THE TRANSFER OF AN EASEMENT FROM THE CITY OF
FRIDLEY TO THE COUNTY OF ANOKA, GENERALLY LOCATED AT
8100 EAST RIVER ROAD, N.E.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1998 __ PAGE 3
5. RESOLUTION NO 22-1998 APPROVING A VACATION SAV #98-01,
GENERALLY LOCATED AT 6525 U1vIVERSITY AVENUE N.E.:
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that Semper Development (Walgreen's) is
requesting the vacation of a 5 foot by 300 foot drainage and utility easement that
runs through the middle of their redevelopment site from east to west. Since the
easement is no longer of use to the City or NSP, staff is recommending approval.
APPROVED RESOLUTION NO. 22-1998.
6. VARIANCE, VAR #98-04. BY KIM MILLER OF MILLER FUNERAL
HOME, TO REDUCE THE FRONT YARD SETBACK FROM 80 FEET
TO 37 FEET TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION
ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY, GENERALLY
LOCATED AT 6210 HIGHWAY 65 (WARD 2):
Mr. Burns, City Manager, explained that the setback reduction is from SO feet to
37 feet to allow a 6 foot by 34 foot addition to the south side of the funeral home.
This same variance was approved by Council in 1996 but allowed to lapse. The
setback reduction is consistent with the reduction for the existing building. The
Appeals Commission has given their unanimous consent to the re-approval with
the stipulation that the petitioner grant a 10 foot easement adjacent to the existing
drainage easement. The new easement would allow access to the City's sewage lift
station. Staff recommends Council's approval with the one stipulation.
THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND
PLACED ON THE REGULAR AGENDA FOLLOWING ITEM 20 UNDER
OLD BUSINESS.
7. APPROVE 1998 YARD WASTE TRANSFER SERVICE CONTRACT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY AND MORRELL & MORRELL,
INC.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the proposed contract is with Monell &
Morrell, Inc. The cost of service is proposed at $120 per 75.85 cubic yard roll-off
bin. Although the price is nine percent higher than the 1997 cost for these
services, it should be recognized that the vendor has not requested an increase for
the past three years. Staff recommends Council's approval.
APPROVED THE 1998 YARD WASTE TRANSFER SERVICE
CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY AND MORRELL &
NIORRELL.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1998 PAGE 4
8. APPROVE LETTER CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY
AND BRAUN INTERTEC FOR LABORATORY SERVICES FOR THE

Mr. Burns, City Manager, explained that this contract is for lab services associated
with the Springbrook Nature Center Clean Water Partnership Grant Program. The
cost is for an amount not to exceed $10,500 and will be paid for from grant
proceeds. Since Braun Intertec provided the low quote, staff is recommending
their selection.
APPROVED LETTER CONTRACT BETWEEN THE CITY OF FRIDLEY
AND BRAUN INTERTEC FOR LABORATORY SERVICES FOR THE
SPRINGBROOK CLEAN WATER PARTNERSHIP GRANT PROJECT
(WARD 3).
9. APPROVE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT TO THE 57� AVENUE

with BRW the estimated cost of the 57th Avenue Project was $400,000. With the
addition of landscaping, lighting and other improvements, the estimated cost is
now over $800,000. With the increase, BRW has submitted a change order to
cover the additional cost of their design work. This change order moves
engineering costs for the project from $59,160 to $149,240. Actual engineering
costs will be adjusted to reflect actual construction costs. Staff recommends
approval of these changes as contained in a supplemental agreement to the BRW
contract.
THIS TIME WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND

proposed changes have been incorporated into the plan. Staff is waiting for the
completion of MnDOT's review; and it is expected to be completed shortly. Staff
has also met with the neighborhood and addressed concerns raised by two
property owners. In order to expedite a spring award, staff is asking Council to
approve plans and specifications and to authorize staffto bid the project.

upgrading of the programmable logic controller (PLC), the main processing
component for the computer system that is used to control the operation of the
City's water, sewer and storm water systems. The cost for this item is $10,266.
Although it is not budgeted, the cost is more than offset by savings in other capital
improvement items. Additionally, staff is asking Council's approval for
expenditure of funds to cover higher than expected bids for linking SCADA to the
Mississippi Street storm water lift station. The amount of the overage, $3,542,
may aiso be covered from savings on other projects.

MINNESOTA LAWFUL GAMBLING PREMISE PERMIT TO KNIGHTS
OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL 4381 FRIDLET (KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS
COUNCIL 4381, 6831 HIGHWAY 65 N.E.)(WARD 2):
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that staff is presenting a resolution to Council which
would approve an application for a Minnesota Lawful Gambling Premise Pernut for
Knights of Columbus Council 4381 Fridley. Gambling will be conducted at the KC Hall,
6831 Highway 65 N.E. Minnesota State statutes require the adoption of a resolution
approving this type of gambling permit. Staff has reviewed the application and found no
reason to deny this renewal application.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopt Resolution No. 24-1998 in support of an
application for a Minnesota Lawful Gambling Premise Permit to Knights of Columbus
Counci14381 Fridiey. Seconded by Councilman Barnette.
Fritz Knaak, City Attorney, was asked to provide a summary of the City's ordinance and
the State statutes relating to this issue.
Mr. Knaak stated that the City's ordinance is regulated by a section of Minnesota Law,
Chapter 349. This is an area where the State has largely pre-empted most areas of local
control for lawful/charitable gambling. There is a certain area of the statutes which allows
for local regulation and allows them to do certain things by way of their own ordinance.
The City of Fridley has adopted an ordinance in accordance with that. The City is
authorized to review the application and approve/deny the application via resolution. Any
decision by Council not to approve the application must be accompanied by a specific
reason for denial based on the City's ordinance criteria or State statute criteria. Lack of
appropriate reason for denial could result in judicial challenges. The City really does not
have a lot of discretion.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if it was legal to grant a license contingent upon them agreeing to
spend all of the gambling proceeds in a specified city. Mr. Fritz stated that this would not
be legal. The City is permitted to require that up to fifty percent of the proceeds be spent
in Fridley together with each of the cities contiguous to the city (trade area).
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she believes Council was told previously that the City could
reserve the right to set aside a certain percentage of the charitable gambling to go to a
specific cause.
Mr. Knaak stated that this is correct. There is a specific provision in the law which allows
a city to dedicate up to ten percent of charitable gambling proceeds in the city to a fund
that can be used for lawful purposes in the city.
CITY COUNCII. MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1998 PAGE_ 9
Mayor 7orgenson asked if the ordinance would need to be amended to allow for this. Any
licenses granted up to this point would continue to operate until the renewal date.
Mr. Knaak stated that he believes any licenses approved, subject to this regulation would
also be subject to amendments and modifications. If the City were to change the mix of
funds that were to be spent inside the trade area they could do so at any time. As soon as
it became effective the City would be able to direct those proceeds. Any change to the
ordinance would require a first and second reading, along with necessary publications, etc.
Councilman Billings urged caution if the City chooses to pursue this avenue. He noted
that the legal gambling organizations in Fridley already do contribute over ten percent of
their revenue to projects in the City of Fridley. When this regulation was put into the
State statute several years ago there was a lot of discussion. Many of the charitable
organizations would agree to give the City the requested ten percent. He indicated that
the remaining funds would then be used in the rest of the trade area. By doing so, the City
may be giving up thirty to forty percent of an even larger pool. If the City decides to go
forth, a public hearing should be scheduled to allow the licensees to offer their input.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the City received a letter from one of the organizations
asking that Fridley limit the number of establishments an organization can have in town.
Currently, the City limits an organization to two pulltab operations in the city. One
organization is requesting a third.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked Mr. Knaak if there was anything in the City ordinances or
State statutes which would prohibit an organization from designating all of their proceeds
to one city. Mr. Knaak replied that there was not.
Councilman Barnette asked what it takes to become a pulltab operator.
Reba Whiteoak, 3547 Fillmore Street N.E., gambling manager for WAABI, stated that
one needs to have a signed lease, have at least fifteen members in the organization, have
been in business for three years and have a set of bylaws. They then need to complete an
application from the state and request approval from the City Council.
Joe Sombrio, 289 Stonybrook Way stated that he felt there are changes which could be
made by Council to protect the citizens of Fridley.
Mr. Knaak agreed, stating that the State statutes do allow the City to be more restrictive
on how gambling is regulated. If Council wishes to prohibit a type of gambling or the
hours, etc., they can do so. However, the residency issue (asking that organizations be
located within the city), in his opinion, could be challenged.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she felt most of the residents would like to change the
ordinance to require that at least fifty percent of the proceeds must be spent in the
community.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1998 PAGE 10
Mr. Sombrio stated that residents are merely saying that the Fridley ordinance does not
protect the residents as far as donations or contributions. He noted that the City of
Chaska has a reguirement that at least fifty percent of the net profits shall be spent for- -
lawful purposes in the City of Chaska or benefiting persons within the Chaska community.
Mr. Knaak stated that in his opinion, this is not in compliance with State law.
Councilman Billings stated that Chaska's ordinance requiring the profits to benefit persons
within the Chaska community may very well be referring to the Chaska trade area, in
which case the requirements would be the same as Fridley's. The City's previous
ordinance required that ten percent of profits be spent in the City of Fridley, however they
were required to change that to the "Fridley trade area". Mr. Knaak is the second City
Attorney who has given the same legal opinion on this issue.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that Council does not have reason to deny the gambling
applications before them; however this does not mean that Council is unwiiling to look at
making future changes to the existing ordinance. Furthermore, if changes are made in the
future, licensees can be required to comply with the ordinance changes. She noted that
residents always have the opportunity to lobby their State representatives for changes to
the State statutes.
Mr. Knaak took this opportunity to read the requirements as stated in Minnesota State
statutes. He agreed to talk with staff from other municipalities as well as their attarneys
with regard to this issue.
A resident from the audience asked if there are generally more applications for these
licenses than there are places for them to operate. Mayor Jorgenson explained that an
application cannot be completed without a bar lease.
Ms. Gail Ahrens, 198 Mercury Drive, stated that she understands the legalities involved.
However, it is very important that the gambling organizations coming in have the same
funding commitments to the community as WAABI, or the children in the community will
feel the effects. She noted that one of the organizations brought in an average of $37,000
per month over the past three months from their three existing sites. This organization
plans to add a fourth site in Fridley. If they are based in Minneapolis, she wonders how
large a percentage of the proceeds will be directed to activities within that community.
Marilyn Peters, 4002 Sixth Street N.E., Coordinator of SACA Food Shelf, stated that
WAABI has been very supportive of their organization over the years which has allowed
them to help many families in the area. She hopes that WAABI would be able to stay in
the area.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, MAYOR JORGENSON
DECLAIRED THEMOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6. 1998 PAGE 11
21. RESOLUTION NO. 25-1998 IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION FOR A
MINNESOTA LAWFUL GAMBLING PREMISE PERMIT TO ITALIAN
AMERICAN MINNEAPOLIS FOUNDATION CLUB (MAIN EVENT, 7820
UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E. )(WARD 3):
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, explained that this is a new application submitted by the
Italian American Minneapolis Foundation Club, founded in 1982. It operates exclusively
for charitable and educational purposes. Their primary goal is to serve the residents of the
northeast suburbs including Fridley.
Councilman Schneider asked if this organization had an analysis of how the gambling fund
proceeds have been distributed in the past. Mr. Pribyl noted that this was not a
requirement of the application process.
Mayor Jorgenson noted that if the application is approved, Council could go back in one
year and review the distributions made over the past year to charitable organizations
within the contiguous trade area.
Councilman Schneider asked if they are required to complete a quarterly report. Mr.
Pribyl responded in the affirmative, and noted that they are reviewed to the best of their
ability to verify compliance (have spent fifty percent of the net proceeds in the trade area).
The State Gambiing Board would investigate any problems.
Frank Ba(ma, 7611 36th Avenue North, of the Italian American Minneapolis Foundation
Club, stated that their organization is licensed, and they have conducted their activities
mainly in the northeast area of Minneapolis and the northeast communities. Fridley has
been a beneficiary of their funds on many occasions. Their organization is governed by a
Board of Directors. They submit reports to the City and to the State of Minnesota on a
monthly basis. They are audited yearly, a certified copy of which is available for review.
They want to assure the community that they do not intend to do anything different.
Requests for funds are reviewed and considered based on merit with education being a
high priority. They provide scholarships to all deserving schools in the metropolitan area.
Education scholarships account for approximately fifty percent of the funds. The
remaining funds are distributed among churches, organizations, food sheives, etc. He is
confident that they can do a good job in Fridley.
Larry Moreland, 6100 Trinity Drive, noted that the Italian American Minneapolis
Foundation Club is based in Minneapolis. Legally, they can take proceeds that are made
at their Fridley establishments and designate them for activities in Minneapolis. He felt
that an organization that is knit in the city cares more about the residents of that city than
someone coming in from the outside.
Rick 7ohnson, 4405 Sixth Street N.E., asked if the Italian American Minneapolis
Foundation can legally take funds for operating expenses for their own organization.
Mr. Balma stated that up to thirty percent of the total donations can be applied to
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1998 PAGE 12
administrative costs such as payroll, rent, telephone, etc. Funds cannot, however, be used
for taxes, maintenance or property improvements.
Kathy Hinder, 80 Logan Parkway, asked if there is a mandatory form or criteria to allow
an organization to go in and operate pulltabs out of an establishment. Mayor Jorgenson
stated that if the applicant meets the requirements, it is considered a business relationship,
and neither the state nor the city can regulate that relationship. �
Ms. Hinder stated she is aware that many pulltab operators pull in a substantiai amount of
funds on a given night. Councilman Billings stated that he believes a large percentage of
the funds go back to the people buying the pulltabs through winnings. Just because the
pulltabs are sold does not mean they are strictly profit.
Gail Ahrens stated that she examined the Italian American's for the past three months
statements that were filed with the City of Minneapolis. She was toid that information on
the actual places that received donations was privileged information and contained in the
annual report. They would not divulge that information. However, with an average net
profit of $37,000 per month over the past three months, she wondered what donations
were made.
Mr. Balma stated that of the estimated $100,000 collected, they have approximately 350
applicants being considered for scholarships in the amount of $1,500 each from all area
schools in the metropolitan area. The year-end reports for their organization will be filed
June 30, 1998 and will be available for review after that date.
Councilman Billings asked what would be grounds for denial of an application.
Mr. Knaak responded that the application could be denied if the City found that fifty
percent of the proceeds were not spent in the trade area, or if the applicant had established
a pattern of inappropriate conduct.
Barb Hubbard, 5801 Fifth Street N.E. stated that she has been a member of WAABI for
over twenty years. WAABI has been at the Shorewood for the past seven years. She
stated that if these two applications before Council are granted, it will leave WAABI with
nothing.
Councilman Billings explained that WAABI has not submitted an application for an
extension.
Ms. Whiteoak stated that it is the public's desire to say that whoever comes to the pulltab
areas knows the obligations to the City of Frid(ey. They want to insure the continuation
of programs that WAABI has been instrumental in starting.
MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 25-1998 in support of an
application for a Minnesota Lawful Gambling Premise Permit to Italian American
Minneapolis Foundation Club (Main Event, 7820 University Avenue N.E.).
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1998 PAGE 13
The City Council thanked the public for their comments and thanked WAABI for their
support. They will be sorry to see WAABI leave. However, it is also important that it not
be portrayed that other organizations are not welcome. Change is difficult to accept, and
it will be important for new organizations seriously to consider the comments addressed
by the public.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, MAYOR JORGENSON
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
22. RESOLUTION NO. 26-1998 IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION FOR A
MINNESOTA LAWFUL GAMBLING PREMISE PERMIT TO
MINNESOTA YOUTH ATFILETIC SERVICES (SHOREWOOD
RESTAURANT, 6161 ffiGHWAY 65 N.E.)(WARD 21:
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, explained that this is a new application from the Minnesota
Youth Athletic Services. They have indicated that they are dedicated to improving the
delivery of youth sports services to young athletes, coaches and parents. They attempt to
promote sportsmanship, teamwork and cultural interaction through sporting competition.
They also attempt to link regional volunteer youth sports programs with others statewide.
Dan Klinkhammer, 4111 Central Avenue N.E., Director of �he Minnesota Youth Athletic
Services, read a statement providing a summary of their organization. He noted that in
1997 alone they had over 100,000 individual participants in a variety of sporting
programs. They have one other charitable gambling site in St. Paul. The Minnesota
Youth Athletic Services will do whatever possible to establish and maintain a positive
relationship with the residents of Fridley and its contiguous area. They are already serving
as a vital fundraising tool for several Fridley organizations; several Fridley youth sports
groups have a history of serving as their host to numerous MYS and AAU Youth Sport
Competitions.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if an individual can get financial assistance to help them
play a sport. Mr. Klinkhammer responded in the affirmative. Councilwoman Bolkcom
asked if they would also consider supporting SACA food shelves. Mr. Klinkhammer
responded in the affirmative. All applications for funding are reviewed by the Board of
Directors, and awards are granted based on the amount of funds available.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to adopt the Resolution No. 26-1998 in support of an
application for a Minnesota Lawful Gamb(ing Premise Permit to Minnesota Youth Athletic
Services. Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously. .

OLD BUSINESS:
19. SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE REPEALLING CHAPTER 407
OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE IN ITS ENTIRETY AND ADOPTING A
NEW CHAPTER 407. ENTITLED "RIGFIT-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT"
AND AMENDING CHAPTER 11 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE.
ENTITLED "GENERAL PROVISIONS AND FEES" fTABLED
MARCH 16, 1998:
AND
AUTHORIZE PUBLICATION OF OFFICIAL TITLE AND SUMMARY:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, explained that as a result of the last Council meeting
and the concerns expressed on some of the issues, he met with representatives of the
utility companies on March 24, 1998 and made some substantial changes to the ordinance
at that time. Some of these changes included a new paragraph to allow for the waiving of
fees in an emergency; the excavation permit was broken down into three major parts; the
definition of obstruction was expanded to apply to anything over eight hours in the right-
of-way; a correction was made to the degradation cost; and a clarification was made on
the issue of undergrounding. After meeting with the utilities and the task force, he
believed that the ordinance before Council was a better document than originally
developed. It properly addresses the municipal as well as utility issues in overseeing the
right-of-way and recoupment of costs associated with that.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she received letters from Paragon Cable, U. S. WEST and
Minnegasco regarding the proposed right-of-way ordinance. She asked that they be
entered into the record.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to receive the letters from Paragon Cable dated
March 31, 1998, from U. S. WEST dated April 2, 1998 and from Minnegasco dated
April3, 1998, and that they be entered into the record. Seconded by Councilman
Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried
unanimously.
Questions were raised about the degradation costs (407.11) and clarification was
requested in regard to the fee calculations. After some discussion, Councilman Billings
felt that the reference to "square foot" in the calculation should be changed to "lineal
foot". He also felt that the calculation for the excavation permit should be clarified.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked how the cost would be calculated if two utility companies
were working in the area at the same time. Mr. Flora noted that they would share the cost
associated with the necessary permits.
CITY COUNCII. MEETING OF APRIL 6. 1998 PAGE 15
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the City of Fridley maintains the right-of-ways on all streets in
the city. Mr. Flora stated that the City maintains all with the exception of the county and
state highways. In the case of county and state Right-of-Ways, there is a reduced fee of
fifty percent. This fee is necessary due to the fact that those roads intersect with Fridley
streets, and it is necessary for the City to maintain information in regard to what is in their
system and what the city could encounter when working in the right-of-way associated
with the County or State highway.
Councilman Billings asked for a clarification in regard to obstruction permits (pg. 19.14).
Mr. Flora explained that if a utility is working on a project with the city, they would be
required to pay one-half of the excavation fee. However, if they are doing a county or
highway project, they would pay no excavation fee, only an obstruction permit fee and
provide the City with mapping data for recording purposes. The obstruction fee re-coups
the administrative costs associated with recording the data into the City's data base.
Councilman Schneider stated that he felt this was a very complicated ordinance. He felt
that the data should be analyzed after a period of time to make sure that the fees are
appropriate.
Councilman Billings asked how the proposed fees compare with the fees that exist today.
Mr. Flora noted that the only existing fee is a$200 excavation fee and a$25 re-inspection
fee.
Questions were also raised with regard to franchise supremacy. Only in those tendencies
that an item is not negotiated in a franchise with the utility companies, would the
ordinance apply.
Councilman Schneider asked how the fees in the proposed ordinance compare to model
ordinances. Mr. Flora explained that this is a model ordinance and that it complies with
State statutes. The fees are based upon the estimated time involved in processing the
information by personnel.
Councilman Billings noted that there are areas of the ordinance referring to "director." It
was felt that perhaps "the City" may be more appropriate language in many of those areas.
He requested that the ordinance be reviewed for said necessary changes.
In consideration of the numerous concerns, it was suggested that perhaps approval of this
ordinance should be tabled until after the Public Utilities Commission meets or a state-
wide ordinance is approved. Mayor Jorgenson noted that this could likely be at least one
year away.
Councilman Schneider stated that he felt an ordinance needed to be in place to determine
what is reasonable. If changes need to be made, amendments can be made to the
ordinance. It was his feeting that the language should be changed with necessary
clarifications and that staff should bring it back to Council at the April 20 meeting. He
�
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6. 1998 PAGE 16
also asked if language could be included in the ordinance to allow for a formal review
process after a specified period of time to review the costs. Mr. Flora responded that this
could be done.
Councilman Barnette asked if the Public Utilities Commission could come up with a fee
schedule that would be applicable state-wide. Mr. Flora stated that he does not feel it
would be easy to adopt state-wide fees. However, the City could be required to adjust the
fees if the Public Utilities Commission determines that the fees are in excess of what they
should be.
MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to table the second reading of this ordinance until
the next regular City Council meeting of April 20, 1998. Seconded by Councilman
Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Richard Pilon, Senior Engineer of Minnegasco, presented Mr. Flora with their GIS
maps for the City of Fridley, and indicated that they would be available to the City on disk
sometime in the fall of 1998.

6. VARIANCE, VAR #87-04, BY KIM MILLER OF MILLER FUNERAL
HOME, TO REDUCE THE FRONT YARD SETBACK FROM 80 FEET
TO 37 FEET TO ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF AN ADDITION
ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE PROPERTY. GENERALLY
LOCATED AT 6210 HIGHWAY 65 (WARD 2):
Councilman Schneider stated he asked that this item be removed from the consent agenda
to obtain clarification on the existing garage and the finishing materials to be used on such.
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, explained that the representatives of Miller Funeral
Home are currently evaluating the different options for the exterior finish on the existing
garage. Without any stipulations, the City Code requires that building finishes be
something other than plain concrete block, and it is his belief that they can come to some
satisfactory resolution on this matter. Councilman Schneider stated that he feels there
should be a stipulation included that the applicant work with staff to come up with a
satisfactory finish for the existing garage.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to approve the Variance Request #98-04 with the
following stipulations: 1) that the petitioner grant a 10 foot easement adjacent to the
CIT1' COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 6, 1998 PAGE 18
existing drainage easement to provide access to a sewage pumping station; and 2) that the
petitioner come to an agreement with staff as to the exterior finish on the west wall of the
e�sting garage. Seconded by Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
9. APPROVE SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENT TO THE 57'�" AVENUE
RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF FRIDLEY AND BRW:
Councilman Schneider noted that there has been a significant increase in the estimated cost
of this project and wondered how much will be applied to the taxpayers. Mr. Flora �noted
that this information was contained in his memorandum of April 6, 1998. Most of the
added costs are associated with inspection and surveying which will be reimbursed by the
County.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to approve the Supplemental Agreement to the 57th
Avenue Reconstruction Project Agreement Between the City of Fridley and BRW.
Seconded by Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
23. INFROMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Mr. Burns noted that Dave Sallman, Public Safety Director, was present to discuss the
Police Department's 1998 Goals and Objectives; however due to the late hour, Council
may wish to divert this matter to the April 27 conference meeting. This was the consensus
of the CounciL
Councilwoman Bolkcom reminded the audience of the SOth Anniversary Task Force
meeting on Thursday evening, noting that they are actively looking for new members.
Mr. Flora provided a brief update as to the Hackman Avenue sump-pump line. He noted
that two meetings were held with a very poor response from residents. He felt that the
line should be put in. As new pumps are connected to the pipe, a$200 fee could be
collected as originally discussed which will help recoup some of the costs for the City.

BY FRIENDLY CHEVROLET:
To aliow an expansion of 21,778 square feet to a building used for automobile
sales and services by Friendly Chevrolet on Lot 1, Block 1, Friendly Chevrolet
Addition, located at 7501 Highway 65 N.E.
MOTION by Ms. Modig, seconded by Mr. Saba, 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 7:37 P.M.
Mr. Tatting stated the special use permit requested by Friendly Chevrolet is for a
proposed expansion of the existing building. The property is located east of Highway 65
and no�th of Fireside Drive. The site is currently being used as an auto dealership for
sales and service of new and used vehicles. The proposed addition would expand the
existing service department and include a car wash. A special use permit is required for
agencies selling or displaying new and/or used vehicles, repair garages, and motor
vehicle wash establishments.
Mr. Tatting stated the site is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center. The adjacent property
to the north is zoned M-1, Light Industrial, and M-4, Manufacturing Only; to the east is M-
1, Light Industrial, and M-4, Manufacturing Only; to the south is R-2, Mobile Home Park,
and C-3, General Shopping; and to the west across Highway 65 is R-4, Mobile Home
Park.
Mr. Tatting stated that in 1997, Friendly Chevrolet was involved with three land issues--a
re-subdivision and replatting of the parcel; a rezoning of a parcel; and a special use
permit for the parking lot expansion. This special use permit would allow construction of a
21,780 square foot addition resulting in a total area of 60,884 square feet on 2.48 acres.
The proposed addition will expand the service department and include a car wash.
Mr. Tatting stated the plans for the building exterior indicate a pre-finished metal flashing
and precast concrete wall panels. The new addition would be painted white to match the
existing building. The plans show seven garage doors on the south side and five on the
north side. The car wash is meant to be used by their customers.
Mr. Tatting stated the existing building requires 76 parking spaces. The new building,
using a speculative parking ratio, would require an additional 109 parking spaces for a
total of 185 spaces. The plans show there are 204 parking stalls for customers and
employees. The area that was rezoned needs to be paved and striped upon complefion
of the new addition.
Mr. Tatting stated a landscape plan was submitted and was found to be inadequate. It
does not provide sufficient screening of the garage doors facing Fireside Drive. Staff will
2.02
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 1'1998, PAGE 3;_,. .
work with the petitioner and owner to develop a plan that will provide more screening in
the form of additional plantings and trees.
Mr. Tatting stated staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following
stipulations:
1. No cars shall be parked in the boulevard, on any landscaped areas, or on the
street.
2. The petitioner shall provide curb and gutter along the entire perimeter of the new
parking areas.
3. A landscape plan for the site shall be approved by the City prior to issuance of a
building permit.
4. The entire parking and vehicle display areas shall be paved before the new
addition is occupied. �
5. The parking spaces shall be striped a# a width of 10 feet.
6. A minimum of 185 parking stalls shall be designated for customers and
employees.
7. No cars or other vehicles shall be parked in a manner so as to impede the free
travel of vehicles in areas intended as drive aisles.
8. To maintain a homogeneous appearance, the exterior of the addition should match
that of the existing principal building.
9. The use of the car wash is only for patrons of the business.
Mr. Tatting stated that since the staff report was mailed, staff has revised stipulation #8 to
read, 'To maintain a homogeneous appearance, the exterior of the addition shall match
the color of the existing structure and conform to the plans from Darwin, Lindahl
Architects as seen on Sheet A3.1 dated 2/27/98." Also, stipulation #9 was revised from
the original staff report should the business be sold or change their name in the future.
Mr. Tatting stated that regarding the landscaping, Tam's Rice Bowl, located south of the
garage doors, would be looking directly at these doors. The mobile homes look at this
area at an angle. The proposed plan does show some landscaping. There are several �
existing trees and a hedge in the boulevard area. S#aff would like to increase the number
of trees in the boulevard area and add a landscaped island at the south entrance into the
site itself. Staff is talking with the owner and petitioner to come up with a plan that will
meet the City's needs.

• � • � �� •�•
Ms. Modig stated there are people who park along the boulevard on the street.
Stipulation #1 stated they cannot do that. If the City says they cannot do that, then the
City is leaving those people open for liability for tickets or it would have to be posted that
way. Is that correct?
Mr. Tatting stated that originally there was limited parking for customers and employees
on site. Many people were parking along the street. That situation has been handled,
and there is no parking on the stree# right now. If there is an occasional car there, it does
not create the problems it did in the past
Ms. Modig asked if that leaves those who park there liable for tickets if the City says no
one can park there.
Mr. Hickok stated this goes back to an earlier special use permit and variance requests.
The point at that time was that the code is clear that businesses should supply their own
on site parking to meet the demands that their use causes. The business is going to
have to have that number of parking for employees and customers. Regarding parking
on the street, there is going to be the Sunday aftemoon vehicle shopper who stops there.
That is different. When the business is open, staff wants to make sure there is parking on
site. When the business is closed, there may be cars parked on the street. Also,
maintenance staff park there when the business is closed. They have no choice.
Ms. Modig stated that regarding stipulation #7, when they say that no vehicles shall be
parked so as to impede travel in the drive aisles, the business shuts off those aisles at
night and Sundays so that someone cannot just drive in and vandalize the cars. But that
also stops the free travel.
Mr. Hickok stated staff does not want that site to be taxed to the point where the car
inventory is parked in the drive aisles. This is a stipulation to say the business will identify
where parking is going to be and they are going to keep cars there. For the purpose that
they are parking cars there for security, staff sees that as a part of the business that is
necessary.
Mr. Saba asked if the stipulation should have added "during business hours."
Ms. Savage stated stipulations 1, 2, 4, and 7 were previously agreed upon stipulations.
These cannot be changed because they are part of the recommendations and agreement
by the City Council for the special use permit. Ms. Modig brought up a good point. What
if a petitioner or business does not abide by a stipulation? Are there sanctions? What
does the city do about it?
Mr. Hickok stated a special use permit is a discretionary give on the part of the City. If
granted, a special use permit is a situation where the petitioner has said they will live by
these stipulations. It is the City's right and obligation to go back and review those
stipulations. If there is a business that is not abiding by those stipulations, the City has
2.04
l � L � \ � � �
the authority to call that business back and revoke that special use permit. The business
would then need to discontinue the business that caused the special use permit in the
first place. The stipulation is recorded with the property.
Mr. Sielaff asked what staff were recommending for stipulatiort #8.
Mr. Tatting stated staff is recommending the stipulation be more specific and refer back to
the architects drawing.
Mr. Sielaff asked that for stipulation #9, is the car wash for customers only?
Mr. Tatting stated, yes. The car wash is just for customers.
Mr. Sielaff asked about staff's definition of customer. -
Mr. Tatting stated a customer is someone who is using the service at the site.
Mr. Stelter stated he had met with Mr. Tatting the last few days and he came to the site.
He showed Mr. Tatting what they had in mind for the building addition and landscaping.
He thought they could work everything out regarding the landscaping. He has no
problems with the stipulations. Also, the car wash will be for their customers only.

Mr. Hickok stated it is important that the Commission have the opportunity to look at the
direction the City is heading, look at the goals and objectives, and make
recommendations. This is the time of year that staff looks at goals and objectives, sets
goals and objectives, and talks to the City Council and Commissions about those goals
and objectives. These then become the basis for planning for the next year. A summary
of the goals and objectives was included in the agenda packet.
Mr. Hickok stated one of the top objectives is to revisit the Hyde Park neighborhood, start
a process where the neighborhood can identify what it wants to accomplish, and identify a
redevelopment plan for the Frank's Used Car site. With the 57th Avenue construction this
year, staff would like to meet with the Hyde Park residents and start dealing with the land
issues related to the Frank's site. Another objective has been the salvage yards. One of
the objectives is for staff to focus on getting the salvage yards cleaned up and ready for
potential redevelopment. The goals and objectives also` talk about customer service.
Staff surveys petitioners when they leave the process to get a sense of the customer
service they experienced through the process. Staff also likes to survey the commissions
occasionally to see how staff is doing. Staff wants to maintain a high level of customer
service.
Mr. Hickok stated staff will also be focusing on some computer-related land use issues
with historical land use files being scanned so staff can electronically link into historic files.
This would put the history of the land at staff s fingertips. GIS is tied to putting building,
code enforcement, housing, etc., information into_the system. Staff will be using that for
2.06
• � • � "'
the comprehensive pian which is a big part of the upcoming year as weil. The first round
was data collection from citizens which has been completed. The next step is to hire a
consultant.
Ms. Savage stated she hoped the City would consider as part of the comprehensive plan
a community center which would include a swimming pool and recreational facilities for
families who cannot afford a health club. She hears comments about the fine facilities in
Maple Grove. She thought it would be an asset to Fridleyto have something like that. It
could include classes for children, ballet, etc. It may be costly, but she would like to City
to look into that.
Mr. Hickok stated this is something that could be added to the community center that the
City has been working on in conjunction with the school district. The community center
has been expanded to provide activities for all ages. There is a movie screen, a
recreational area with a fireplace for family events, and an area for teens in the lower
level. The City Council has been very interested in having not only the input of
professionals but people that will be using that area. There has also been input from the
seniors. It is different than the community centers at Maple Grove, Maplewood, or
Shoreview that have swimming pools and other amenities. Fridley has made great
strides to provide a multi-age facility. This comment will be considered when planning.

Mr. Hickok stated he will talk with the Pubiic Works staff and see what their plans are for
additional bikeways.
Mr. Saba stated that on the existing University Avenue bikeway, they had talked about
beautification in areas of the City. One complaint was the lack of maintenance of the
bikeways/walkways. Volunteer groups or business could help maintain/clean the
bikeway/walkways. Is there progress in that area?
Mr. Hickok stated, yes. This was a question in the citizen survey, and staff heard that it
was an important issue and that the City needs focus on improving the corridor. This will
go to the City Council. If the Commission wants to add emphasis to the maintenance of
the bikeway/walkways, he will add that to make sure their voice is heard. There are
others who share the same concem.
Ms. Savage stated she too is concemed. She bikes a lot on the bikeway. There are not
only weeds but the surface needs repair as well. It is a nice trail and an asset to the City,
and it needs to be maintained.

DEVELOPMENT SITE
Mr. Ron Stelter of Friendly Chevrolet is requesting a special use pernut to allow the construction of a
21,780 square foot addition to the east of the existing automobile sales and service building. The site
is currently being used as an auto dealership with sales, and service of new and used vehicles. It is
located at 7501 Highway 65 NE. The proposed addition will expand the existing service department
and include a car wash.
� �_�' • �I� • �
Friendly Chevrolet, 7501 Highway 65, is located on the northeast corner of Highway 65 and Fireside
Drive. The Friendly Chevrolet property was first used in 1960 as a mobile home sales and display lot.
In 1960, the City issued a building permit for the construction of a 49' x 72' work shop and office.
Subsequent building permit activities are as follovvs:
1963 - Construction of a 24' x 24' detached garage
1964 - Construction of a 120' x 140' mobile home sales and service building
1965 - Construction of a 100' x 150' storage and sales addition
1971 - Construction of a 120' x 232' addition and issuance of a special use permit, SP #71-10,
for new and used car sales
1978 - Construction of a 48' x 150' addition (7,200 sq. ft.)
1982 - Approval of a special use permit to park new vehicles in the current manufacturing
property located north of the Friendly Chevrolet site a 7585 Hwy 65
1996 - Construction of a 3,904 sq. ft. addition and special use permit, SP #96-04

1997 - Resubdivision of property, property extended to the east by 210 feet, 2.48 acres
1997 - New portion of lot rezoned to C-3, General Shopping to match existing use
1997 - Special Use Permit, SP #97-10, granted for expansion of existing use, parking lot
expanded by 104,650 sq. ft.
a� . -
The Fridley City Code requires special use permits for agencies selling or displaying new and/or used
motor vehicles (Section 205.15.O1.0 (2)), repair garages (Section 205.15.O1.0 (3)), and motor vehicle
wash establishments (Section 205.15.O1.0 (6)). Friendly Chevrolet has proposed expanding or
adding the above uses at their property, therefore a special use permit is required by the City.
The Friendly Chevrolet site was recently involved in a resubdivision of land, a rezoning, and a special
use permit. The result was Friendly Chevrolet's site, zoned C-3, was increased by 2.48 acres. As these
separate actions were approved by the city last Fall, a number of stipulations were included. The
stipulations ranged from parking and landscaping to curb and gutter. (See Attachments Al-4)
Building Exterior
The Friendly Chevrolet site presently consists of a 39,104 sq. ft. building, outdoor display areas for
vehicles and parking areas for customers and employees. The proposed building �ddition of 21,778
sq. ft. increases the building size by 56% to 60,884 sq. ft. (See Attachments B1-2) To maintain a
homogeneous appearance, the exterior of the addition should match that of the existing principal
building.
Car Wash
The addition will contain a caz wash. The petitioner has indicated that people who come in for
service work (ie. oil change and brakes) have also asked that they wash their car. Presently, they can
only do this by hand at the site, which is labor intensive. They have proposed the more efficient
automatic caz wash in response to their customers' wishes .
Parking
In regards to parking, the total number of parking stalls at the site will be 774. (See Attachment C) Of
these 204 will be for customers and employees. The staff report for SP #97-1Q, from November of
1997, indicated that the number of parking stalls required for Friendly Chevrolet was ?6. Being that
the addition includes the new use of a car wash, a speculative pazking ration of one stall per 200 sq.
ft., was used to determine supplementary parking needs. An extra 109 stalls are required by the
21,778 sq. ft. addition, therefore the site is required to have 185 parking stalls for customers and
employees (76 + 109 = 185).

Pavement
The eastern portion of the property that was rezoned last Fall has not been paved. This azea needs to
paved upon completion of the new addition. All customer and employee parking stalls shall also be
striped to meet city standards. Parking on the street by employees shall continue to be prohibited.
Landscaping
The petitioner has provided a landscape for the site. (See Attachment D) After reviewing the
landscaping requirements (Section 205.15.06.) and the stipulations from the permits granted in 1997,
xhe submitted landscape plan is inadequate. The plan shows minimal screening of the several large
service doors that face Fireside Drive. (See Attachment B2)
Staff will work with the petitioner to develop a landscaping plan that conforms to the City Code. The
landscape plan for the site shall be approved by the City prior to issuance of a building permit.

2. The petitioner shall provide curb and gutter along the entire perimeter of the new parking areas.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
Todd Bachman of Hortco, LLC is requesting a variance to allow a free standing pylon sign
to be increased from the maximum size of 80 square feet to 120 square feet. The sign will
be used by them and the future tenants of the adjacent parcel they own. The address of the
site is 8200 University Avenue N.E. -
SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
5ection 214.11.2.B of the Fridley Zoning Ordinance limits free standing signs to a maximum
size of 80 square feet in area per development. Public purpose served by this requirement
is to control visual degradation by eliminating large and excessive signs.
The City Council has approved 4 pylon sign variances over 120 s.f., since 1992. The Bob's
Produce Ranch/Lyndale Garden Center consolidation was approved and is �early
identical to this request.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION TO THE APPEALS COMMISSION:
Staff recommended approval of the variance with the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall record against the title of Lot 3, Block 1, Walton 2nd Addition, a
covenant which prohibits the installation of a free standing sign on said lot.
2. The sign area shall be limited to 120 square feet in size.
3. The sign shall meet height and location standards of Section 214.11 of the Fridley City
Code.
4. T'he variance shall remain in effect until:
A. The sign is altered in any way, except for routine maintenance and change of
messages, which makes the sign less in compliance with the requirements of
Chapter 214 than it was before the alterations.
B. The supporting structure of the sign is replaced or remodeled.
C. The face of the sign is replaced or remodeled.
D. The sign becomes dilapidated or damaged and the cost of bringing it into compliace
is more than 50 % of the value of said sign, at which time all of the sign and its
structure be removed.
E. Notwithstanding paragraph (A) above, upon the change of the narne of the business
being displayed on the sign.
APPEALS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Appeals Commission voted unanimo- � recommend approval of the request to the
City Council with the stipulation recomm� 4.�1 ry staff.

DEVELOPMENT SITE
Todd Bachman of Hortco, LLC is requesting a variance to allow a free standing pylon sign to be increased
from the maximum size of 80 square feet to 120.4 square feet. The sign will be used by them and by the
future tenants of the adjacent parcel that they own. The address of the site is 8200 University Avenue N.E.
The sign will be located on Lot 2, Block 1 of the Walton 2"d Addition and will also be used by Lot 3, Block
1, Walton 2°d Addition (Attachment Al-2).
Hardship Indicated
One free standing pylon sign will be utilized by two separate businesses. "Y�e have elected to use a single
sign for both lots. " Each lot would be allowed its own 80 square foot sign.
� C_I' • � /• • �
The property is located north of 81S` Avenue and Sam's Club and south of 83`� Avenue and the Moose Lodge.
Presently a 25,000 square foot Bachman's store is being constructed at the site. The retail facility will also
include greenhouse space and outdoor sales and storage azea. Actions that were granted recently are:
1997 P.S. #97-05, to replat site as Walton 2"d Addition (Lots 1-3, Block 1)
10/27/97 SP #97-08, to allovv a garden center or nursery requiring outdoor sales
10/10/97 ZOA #97-08 portion of property rezoned from C-2, to C-3, to match the remainder of the
property
1/5/98 SAV # 97-02, to vacate a drainage utility easement
�_� ; _
Section 214.11.2.B of the Fridley Zoning Ordinance limits free standing signs to a maximum size of 80
square feet in area per development. Public putpose served by this requirement is to control visual
degradation by eliminating large and excessive signs.

Over the last six years, the City has seen a number of requests to increase the size of free standing signs.
The requests that were approved were:
1) 1992 - Bob's Produce Ranch, 7620 Univ. Ave; 120 sq. ft. (for use by two lots)
2) 1992 - Embers, 5400 Central Ave; 120 sq. ft. approved
3) 1993 - Home Valu, 5401 E. River Rd; 160 sq. ft. approved (existing sign was reduced in size)
4) 1994 - Ground Round, 5277 Central Ave; 96 sq. ft. approved
5) 1997 - WW Klus, 7920-7990 Univ. Ave; 130 sq ft approved (Lots 4-8 Block 3 Univ. Ind. Park)
In 1995, Home Depot applied for a free standing sign variance, but later withdrew it.
Of the granted variances, the one for Bob's Produce Ranch, is of a similar nature. In both the Bachman's
and Bob's Produce cases, an adjacent pazcel under the same ownership is being required to forfeit its
ability to put up a free standing sign. Attachment B1-2 is a copy of the Action Taken Notice for the sign
size variance granted for Bob's Produce Ranch.
Proposed Sign
The sign that the petitioner has proposed has four components (See Attachment C). The components are
the structure and pillars, the Bachman's name sign, the reader board, and-sign space for a future tenant.
The area for each part of the sign as indicated by the petitioner is:
Bachman's = 67.7 sq. ft.
Reader Board = 44.3 sq. ft.
Tenant Snace = 8.38 sa�ft.
TOTAL =120.38 sq. ft.
The sign plan that was originally submitted and reviewed by the Planning Commission portrayed the
future tenant space as being 22.1 sq. ft. in size. Thus, their original sign plan had a total signage area of
134.1 sq. ft. The plan has since been modified to the smaller 120.38 sq. ft. size.
Location
The bottom of the future tenant sign is only 8.5 feet from the ground. Section 214.11.07.D indicates that
signs less than ten feet from ground level must be setback a minimum of 25 feet from driveways and
corner vision safety zones. A sign that is over ten feet from the ground may be placed within ten feet of a
driveway.
Review of Sign Code
Prior to granting a variance from the literal provision of the Sign Code, four condirions must be met by the
applicant. These four conditions are outlined in Section 214.21.02 of the Sign Code and are as follows:
4.04
Staff Report
VAR #98-08, 8200 Univ Av NE
Page 5
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary�circumsta.�ces applicable to the property or to the
intended use that do not apply generally to other property in the same vicinity and district.
The proposed 120 square foot free standing sign will be utilized by 21ots. The two lots would be allowed a
total of 160 square feet in free standing signage. The one sign represents a reduction of potential signage by
40 square feet or 25% for the two lots. Bachman's building is being built over 400 feet from the right-of-way
of the service drive adjacent to University Avenue.
B. That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right
possessed by other property in the same vicinity and district, but which is denied the property in
question.
Granting the variance preserves the right to provide signage for each business. In regazds to visual pollution
created by excessive signage, the intent and spirit of the Sign Code is also being preserved by the creation of
only a single sign for two businesses. This sign represents a 25% decrease in free standing signage for the
sites.
C. That the strict application of the Chapter would constitute an unnecessary hardship.
Strictly applying the requirements of the Sign Code would limit the size of the free standing sign to 80 square
feet. Sharing of an 80 square foot sign by two businesses would cause very limited signage area for each
business, and would likely prevent the sharing of a sign. The result at the Bachman's site would probably be
the creation of two 80 square foot free standing signs. The proposed signage, which represents a reduction in
sign size and numbers of signs, would appeaz to be appropriate for this site.
D. That the granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public health, safety,
or general welfare, or detrimental to the property in the vicinity or district in which the property is
located.
Granting the variance eliminates the option of installing two 80 square foot signs, with a total of 160 square
feet at the site. Limiting the number of free standing signs to one and to a size of 120 square feet, reduces the
visual pollution and improves the aesthetics of the site. .
• i_ � � U __ � � . � � _ � . • ' _' _ � � � ���i]�I
Staff recommended approval of a variance from the maximum size of a free standing sign with the
following stipulations:
The petitioner shall record against the title of Lot 3, Block 1, Walton 2°d Addition, a covenant
which prohibits the installation of a free standing sign on said lot.
2. The sign area shall be limited to 120 square feet in size.
3. The sign shall meet height and location standards of Section 214.11 of the Fridley City Code.

4. The variance shall remain in effect until:
A. The sign is altered in any way, except for routine maintenance and change of inessages,
which makes the sign less in compliance with the requirements of Chapter 214 than it was
before the alterations.
B. The supporting structure of the sign is replaced or remodeled.
C. The face of the sign is replaced or remodeled.
D. The sign becomes dilapidated or damaged and the cost of bringing it into compliance is
more than 50 % of the value of said sign, at which time all o� the sign and its structure be
removed. -
E. Notwithstanding paragraph (A) above, upon the change of the nazne of the business being
displayed on the sign.

grant a variance. The new addition do not require a variance. The option the petitioner

3. PUBUC HEARING• CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST. VAR #98-08. -
BY HORTCO LLC (BACHMAN'Sl:
Per Section 214.11.02.(B) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to increase the size of a
sign from 80 square feet to 121 square feet to allow the construction of a free-
standing sign on Lots 2-3, Block 1. Walton 2nd Addition, generally located at 8200
. University Avenue.
MOTION by Mr. Jones, seconded by Ms. Mau, to waive the reading of the public hearing
notice and to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON BEAULIEU
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:35
P.M.
Mr. Tatting stated the petitioner is requesting a variance request to allow an increase in a
freestanding pylon sign from 80 square feet to 120.5 square feet. The sign will be used
by Bachman's and future tenants of the adjacent parcel that Hortco also owns. The
parcel is located on the University Avenue service road north of Sam's Club and south of
4.19
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 8, 1998 PAGE 11
the Moose Lodge. The east portion of the site is for the future tenant. The property is
zoned C-3, General Shopping. To the north is C-2, General Business; to the west is M-2,
Heavy Industrial; to the south is C-3, General Shopping; and to the east is a commercial
district in Spring Lake Park.
Mr. Tatting stated the code limits the size of free-standing signs to 80 square feet. The
hardship is that a free-standing sign will be used by finro separate businesses. They have
elected to use a single sign for two lots. Each lot would be allowed its own 80 square foot
free standing sign. - • -
Ms. Tatting stated the site has been involved with recent land use actions. Walton's 2nd
Addition was replatted for Bachman's at which time three sites were created. A special
use permit was granted to allow a garden center and nursery sales. The north portion of
the site was rezoned C-3 to match the rest of the property. The c'ity approved vacation
and relocation of a drainage and utility easement in January.
Mr. Tatting stated that in the past six years, five similar sign requests have been granted,
including Bob's Produce Ranch in 1992; Embers in 1992; Home Value in 1993, Ground
Round in 1994, and VWII Klus in 1997.
Mr. Tatting stated the proposed sign has four components including the structure and
pillars, the Bachman's name sign, the reader board, and sign space for the future tenant.
The area for the sign as indicated by the petitioner is 120.4 square feet. Staff has
reviewed the plans and calculated the total to be 134.1 square feet.
Mr. Tatting stated the plans show the sign to be 25 feet from the road and 10 feet from
the driveway. However, the future tenant sign is only eight feet from the ground. At this
height, the sign must be 25 feet from the driveway so it would need to be moved in order
to meet the code requirements. If the future tenant sign is raised to 10 feet, the sign can
be placed 10 feet from the driveway. If raised, the proposed location would be fine. In
talking with Mr. Bachman before the meeting, they will change the location to meet the
25-foot setback. _
Mr. Tatting stated that prior to granting a variance, four conditions must be met:
A. That there are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances applicable to the
property or to the intended use that do not apply generally to other property in the
same vicinity and district.
B. That the variance is necessary for the presenration and enjoyment of a substantial
p%perty right possessed by other property in the same vicirnty and district, but
which is denied the property in question.
C. That the strict application of the Chapter would constitute an unnecessary
hardship.
D. That the granting of the variance would not be materially detrimental to the public
health, safety, or welfare or detrimental to the property in the vicinity or district in
which the property is located.
4.20
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 8, 1998 PAGE 12
Mr. Tatting stated staff recommends approval of the request with the foliowing
stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall record against the titie of Lot 3, Block 1, Waiton 2nd Addition, a
covenant which prohibits the installation of a free standing sign on said lot.
2. The sign area shall be limited to 120 square feet in size.
3. The sign shall meet height and location standards of Section 214.11 of the Fridley.
City Code. -
4. The variance shall remain in effect until:
A. The sign is altered in any way, except for routine maintenance and change
of inessages, which makes the sign less in compliance with the
requirements of Chapter 214 than it was before the alterations. _
B. The supporting structure of the sign is replaced or remodeled.
C. The face of the sign is replaced or remodeled.
D. The sign becomes dilapidated or damaged and the cost of bringing it into
compliance is more than 50% of the value of said sign, at which time all of
the sign and its structure be removed.
E. Notwithstanding paragraph (A) above, upon the change of the same of the
business being displayed on the sign.
Ms. Beaulieu asked the total area of the proposed sign.
Mr. Tatting stated staff sees the area as being 134 square feet. They will need to change
the sign somewhat to come down to 120 square feet.
Mr. Bachman stated he is chairman of Bachman's and the owner of Lots 2 and 3. They
are requesting sign approval because they would like to consolidate into one sign rather
than have finro 80-square foot signs with Bachman's carrying the majority of the signage
and a future tenant carrying a smaller portion. He shared with staff, after reading the staff
report, their intent to move the sign to comply with the setback requirements, 25 feet from
the right-of-way and 25 feet from the driveway. He was not aware of that requirement;
otherwise they would have done that at the beginning. They designed the sign as a
mirror image of the sign at their flagship store. It carries many of the same aesthetic
elements and color scheme. It is attractive with minimal message board. They feel they
can adjust the sign to fall within the 120 square feet as recommended. They would intend
to do that.
Dr. Vos stated they were willing to take off 14 square feet.
Mr. Bachman stated he thought they could adjust that to accommodate. They have a fair
amount of background area. The reader board will probably need that size signage. He
felt they could adjust some other elements without changing the sign too dramatically to
fall within the city's requirements. ---

APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 8, 1998 PAGE 13
Ms. Beaulieu asked if the petitioner had any problems with the stipulations.
Mr. Bachman stated he has reviewed the stipulations and has no problem with them.
Ms. Mau asked how many future tenants they planned to have in the development.
Mr. Bachman stated the outlot would support a single tenant with roughly 5,000 square
feet of building space. At this point, they have no tenants that have expressed an interest
in that outlot. At this point, that portion related to another tenant wou�d not be developed
on the sign.
Mr. Mau asked if the size of the sign would be a problem with that particular tenant.
Mr. Bachman thought it would not be because they would have good exposure. That
frontage road has exposure from University Avenue.
Dr. Vos stated that tenant can also put up a wall sign.
Ms. Mau stated her concem was that there would be more than one tenant.
Mr. Bachman stated one of the stipulations stated that there is an agreement that there
would be no other pylon sign. They also do not want a cluttered appearance created by
pylons.
TI N by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Mau, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON BEAULIEU
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:52
P.M.
Ms. Mau stated Bachman's has put a lot of thought into the sign. From the way it looks, it
will be an attractive sign. She drove down University Avenue. There is a wide variety of
sign sizes. She looked at the Bob's Produce sign to get an idea of the size. She did not
think it would be a problem on this property. It is set back far enough from University
Avenue. .
Dr. Vos stated any time they can trade 160 square feet of sign for 120 square feet is a
good deaL
MOTION by Mr. Jones, seconded by Ms. Mau, to recommend approval of Variance

Re: Consultant Contract for Vision Process of Comprehensive Plan
Plan Process
Plan process includes three phases:
• Vision Process
. Plan Rewrite
• Executive Summary and Plan Publication
iched consultant contract will accomplish the first pl�ase, establishing a future vision for
Staff recommends the Council authorize staff to execute a contract with Hoisington Kcegler
Inc. for $12,850.
Vision Process
The vision process will involve two community meetings attended by participants invited by the City
Council as well as those people from the public who have an interest in attending. The desired
audience size is at least 150 people. The outcome of the process will be fourfold:
In the first meeting, the participants �vill identify what the community wants to accomplish in
the futwe:
• Define Fridley today
. Establish wha[ the community wants in 2010 and 2020
. Establish a sense of the "big picture" in order to address specific areas
• Establish general goals
In the second meeting, the participants will "set the stage" for the Comprehensive Plan rewrite
by establislung priorities and establish a framework for measuring success:
5,01
April 16, 1998

• Explore ideas �
• Define the desired outcomes from the first meeting
• Identify benchmarks for success
The outcome of the vision process will establish the groundwork to make decisions during the
plan rewrite.
4. The process will provide a forum for focused and effcient community participadon
At the conclusion of the meetings, a written insert summarizing the outcome of the vision process
will be prepared and published in the Fridley Focus with a"tear-off' comment sheet to comment on
the outcome of the meetings. Once these responses have been analyzed, the consultant will prepare a
final summary of the process and findings and present it to the City Council and the Planning
Commission.
What About All Those Pianning Area Meetings?
In order to prepare for the vision meetings, the consultant will be given the outcome of the Planning
Area meetings plus the outcome of the recent community and business surveys, and several other
reports, which have been recendy completed. The Planning Area meetings in front of the Planning
Commission helped to identify essential issues, which the consultant can use to flesh out goals and
desired outcomes at the vision meetings. The appearance and image of the city was frequendy
mentioned, as was the desire to maintain the appearance of neighborhoods. There is also a significant
amount of site specific information, which will help when analyzing certain areas of the community
(e.g. there were several comments about the 57`� Avenue intersection with Universiry).
The consultant intends to use a significant amount of graphics to portray the esisting conditions in the
City and to understand the comments from the participants. The concepts discussed in the first
meeting, for example, will be portrayed graphically for discussion and further definition at the second
meeting.
Staff has finished compiling the results of the 589 written responses and has compiled some of the
site specific inforn�ation on the large size Planning Area GIS maps in the Community Development
Department. A summary and analysis of the responses from the written surveys is attached.
About Hoisington Koegler Group, inc.
Mark Kcegler and Fred Hoisington are the major partners of this urban planning and design
consultant group. They have used what they call "place appropriate" planning in a number of cities
including Crystal, New Brighton, Richfield, South St. Paul, Woodbury, Ramsey, Chanhassen, and
others (see Kcelger's letter dated April 13, 1998). Cities have used Hoisington Kcegler's services for
Comprehensive Plan updates or simply freestanding projects.
Staff has checked with other staff people from some of tlie aforementioned cities, and ail gave the
consultant high marks. I worked with each consultant individually at Chanhassen prior to them
forming a partnership. I have observed them in tough meeting situations, and they possess excellent
oral presentation skills and deal well �vith the public.
Staff recommends the Council proceed with dus consultant on this phase since they have
considerable experience and the proposed process will define the "big picture" efficiently. It is
important to conduct these meetings before July and August, when most people take summer
'rJ.02
April 16, 1998
vacations. The contract amount for ihe second phase, the plan rewrite, will be more significant.
Because it will more than likely be over $25,000, sta� �vill be sending out request for proposals to
consultants this month (more discussion on this phase belotv).
Next Steps
Should the Council agree to authorize the contract to initiate the vision process for the
Comprehensive Plan, staff would complete the following:
1. Establish the dates for the two meetings, the first to be on May 28, 1998 and the second on
June 25, 1998.
2. Establish meeting room lc�cation, either Community Education Center or one of the schools.
3. Recommend an invitation list to Mayor and Council. The commission members, Chamber
representatives, and members from community groups would be examples of im�itees.
4. Conduct a public information outreach effort, including a video, press release, and
announcements at Council meetings and Commission meetings to advertise the upcoming
process and meetings.
5. Mail invitations and prepare for meetings.
Future Phases of Comprehensive Plan Process
Staff has prepazed a Request for Proposal for the plan rewrite phase and will be mailing the RFP to
consultants this month for a response the latter part of May. The consultant contract is scheduled for
approval the first meeting in June. The proposed scope of service would require the consultant to
work on the "priority" chapters identified by the City Counci( in their 1997 survey, including
housing, transportation, land use, and se�ver facilities. Redevelopment issues would be a part of the
land use chapter. Other chapters, �vhich the consultani will have to complete to meet Met Council
requirements, include the park and recreation chapter, storrm�vater management, and the "Critical
Area" requirements for the Mississippi River. Another chapter, �vhich is not mandated but was a
Council request from die 1997 survey is a chapter on human services. The Human Resources
Commission will be working on an outline of this chapter tlus summer. The consultant would also be
requested to assist staff with this chapter as well. .
Funded Mandate
The City has already received $8,000 this year from the Met Council as a grant to fund the
Comprehensive Plan process. Staff has also made application for an$11,060 interest free loan which
can be paid back over tivee years. The assistance from Met Council will retire the costs for the
vision process. The costs for the plan rewrite will need to be paid by a budget reappropriation The
1998 Planning Division budget does contain $9,000 for consultant work. Publication costs for the
plan will be proposed in the 1999 budget.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council authorize staff to execute a contract with Hoisington Kcegler
Group, Inc. for $12,850.

Dear Ms. Dacy:
I am pleased to submit this proposal in response to your letter of April 3, 1998 to formulate and
conduct a vision process for the City of Fridley as a first step in the community's updating of its
comprehensive plan. Before presenting proposal information, it may be appropriate to provide
you with a brief overview of our firm's experience in projects of this type. First, some
background.
The participation of the community in the planning process is critical to the success of any
comprehensive planning effort. Our experience has shown that without the local knowledge that
City officials and residents bring to the project, no amount of professional expertise will yield a
wholly satisfactory planning solution. Hoisington Koegler Group is a leader in the use of
consent building approaches that blend the creativity of the public and decision makers with the
professional planning expertise offered by HKgi. We employ highly interactive and visual
approaches which a11ow participants to build on their own ideas and immediately see the results
of their input.
We have also found that no two places are alike, therefore, the means to define a vision for the
City of Fridley needs to be crafted to specifically fit local conditions. The vision process that
produces results in Inver Grove Heights or South St. Paul will not automatically produce the
desired resuits in Frid1Cy. vur planning approach als� stresses t:�e unique attri��ates of the
community. The approach utilized by HKgi can be summarized as "place appropriate" planning.
This approach builds on the already existing natural, historical and cultural characteristics and
patterns to serve as the framework for planning. The process reveals the strengths that already
exist in the City to serve as building blocks for the future.
HKgi has been involved in numerous visioning processes both as freestanding projects and as
part of comprehensive plan updates. A sample of representative clients includes the Minnesota
communities of Chanhassen, South St. Paul, Woodbury, Ramsey, Inver Grove Heights, �irginia,
Hopkins, Crystal, Bayport and New Prague and Johnston; Iowa. �

Establishing a Vision for Fridley
We will structure two vision sessions that aze focused on defining what Fridley is today and what
residents want the community to be in 2010 or 2020. Based on the information contained in your
letter and our discussions on this issue, the following preliminary work program is suggested:
Task 1— Conduct a workshop with the City Council and Staff to review the proces5 and to
establish a level of expectations for the outcome of the effort.
Task 2— Conduct a public information outreach effort, the purpose of which is to "kick off' the
vision process and to let people know about upcoming opportunities for involvement. This task
could include preparation of a short "spot" that could run on the local cable TV channel.
Task 3- Develop a communications plan, conduct publicity and mail invitations. HKgi will work
with City staff to accomplish this task.
Task 4— Conduct a visioning session representing all community glanning interests (anticipated
attendance 150�. The format for this session will be interactive small and large group
discussions with a specific focus on defining: What is Fridley? What do residents want Fridley
to be in the year 2010 and 2020? What characteristics will the City have in the future vision?
HKgi will assemble written materials for the session and will prepare general analysis graphics
for reference by attendees. The role of City staff at the session will be to serve as technical
resources, not actual participants. Members of the City Council and the various boards and
commissions afiiliated with Fridley are encouraged to be active participants.
Task 5— Conduct a follow-up visioning session to further explore the ideas that were generated
in session #1. This session will be conducted in a"graphics facilitation" style that uses quickly
drawn images to explore ideas and to gain agreement on general concepts. The session will also
focus on the establishment of priorities and will help establish a framework for measuring
progress towar3 attainina th� identified visi�n.
Task 6- Prepare a draft vision statement and guiding principles supported by images and icon
sketches to illustrate major vision components.
Task 7— Meet with the City Council and staff to review the results of Task 6 and to gain
concurrence.
Task 8— Publish the results of the visioning sessions in a special City newsletter to solicit a
response from the general public to the session outcomes. The newsletter could contain a
questionnaire tear-off to allow return responses. As an alternative, a summary and teaz-off could
be published in the Fridley Focus.

Task 9— Prepare and present a written report to the City Council and Planning Commission on
the visioning process and its outcomes.
Task 10 — Meet with City staff during the duration of the visioning phase (up to three times).
Based on the above scope of services, the following is a fee breakdown by task:
1. Workshop $ 720.00
2. Public Information Meeting 720.00
3. Communications Plan 585.00
4. Visioning Session #1 3,475.00
5. Visioning Session #2 3,750.00
6. Vision StatemenVGuiding Principles 810.00
7. Meeting with City CounciUPlanning Commission 720.00
8. Publish Results 540.00
9. Prepare/Present Written Report 1,530.00
Total
$12,850.00
The preliminary scope of services that is identified in this proposal assumes that the City of
Fridley will provide the arrangements for the two visioning sessions including establishing
suitable locations for the meetings, obtaining required public address systems, audio-visual
equipment and refreshments for the participants. It is also assumed that the City, with assistance
from the consultant, will prepare, send out and tabulate responses from the special City
newsletter.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide the City of Fridley with this proposal for professional
services. I look forward to meeting with you and Bill Burns on Wednesday to further discuss
this project. If you have any questions prior to that time, please call me.
Sincerely,

Outcome of Planning Area Meetings
Attendees at Planning Area meetings were asked to respond to two questions. The resuits are
as follows:
What is Fridley? What role or roles does Frid/ey play in the larger metropolitan area?
• Leading the way for an ideal community that is very efficient.
• Balance of development, open space, accessibility to other parts of inetro area.
• Small, safe, convenient home town. Should be considered an increasingiy attractive
plance to live.
• Second ring suburb, convenient location, good residential housing for entry level
homeowners.
• A second ring suburb with history and various diverse housing-mostly known a a
"blue collar" suburb.
• Keep the levei of living high-not go down hiii as the metro area moves out; muRiple
dwellings are not the answer.
• Make it a safe place to live-more patrols by police.
• A mini-city which support the larger metro area.
• Continue supporting the Values.
• Not much is said about Fridley's advances on new programs. Seems like we only
hear about a bad thing on news.
• Fridley is a small community with convenient access to the big city so in some ways it
is best of both worlds. I like Fridley because of its physical size, the stability of
residents (lots of my daughter's friends parents grew up here!). The friendliness and
helpfulness of cityt worke�s, the trees and nature areas, the schools.
• Fridley is a second ring metro community and will have some the inner ring problems
with drugs. Deteriorating muftiple dwellings must be inspected equally and
enforcement the building and housing codes is essential. (learn from Columbia
Heights example) Be willing to "bite the bullet" in enforcing the housing code-
particularly with absentee landlords.
If Fridley were to be the ideal community in the year 2010, what characteristics or
experiences wou/d you expect it to offer?
• Accessibility to decision making
• Quick response to comments
• Balance of city services and individual control
• Avoidance of "over-development"-keep open space open.
• Services for a variety of age groups.
• Get rid of fence on University so it is more attractive.
• Municipal indoor and outdoor pools including special sections for those needing
water (heated) therapy regarding health problems.
• Inter city busing for all to possible spots like Northtown, Walmart, CUB et. And
connecting with MTC lines. Example: Mississippi Street and 815t Street.
• Continue input from the people who live in the community. A community with
resources available for everyone. Get ride of Fantasy House and pawn shops.
• We need bagel and coffee shops.
• A place for everyone to feel comfortable from toddler to octogenarian.
. Variety of home styles.
• Will kept homes and yards
• Activities and resources for all.
• Not any more residential traffic and slower. �
5.07
• Less multiple housing.
• Don't let absentee landiords run down properties like Columbia Heights; don't build
more muftiple dwellings.
• Encourage residents topick up afterotherto keep out city clean.
• Good schools.
• Low crime.
• Well mairrtained neighborhoods.
• Clean, well cared for, wetl used parks.
• Mix of different age families.
• Friendly, progressive government.
• Possible mass transit access.
• Clean, manicured common areas or roadways, public fences, center medians- -
eliminate weeds and junk.
• A community that provides a safe and affordable place for residents to live and worlc.
• Ample natural areas (like Rice Creek Regional Trail, etc.) to act as buffer against
urban sprawl and provide residents with access to nature within the community.
• Businesses and community areas for mid and high school aged kids to "hang ouY,
meet friends, participate in safe activities. Coffee houses, roller rink etc., a"town
center". If there are such places now, kids don't know about it.
• Stable residential areas-so trees can grow and neighborhoods can build
communities.
• The growth has been orderly to date. The next phase of "redevelopment" must be
anticipated and long range plans set in place.
• Enforcement of curfew laws
• Absence of iIl kept properties.
• Enforcement of noise ordinances.
• Clean up of litter.
Written Survey Responses
Written surveys: 589 responses out of 12,070 mailed for 4.88% response rate.

consensus of opinion.

various issues (see attached matrices). Specific complaints regarding code enforcement issues

DATE: Apri120, 1998
SUBJECT: Change Order No. 1, Hackmann Avenue Street Improvement Project
No. ST. 1998 - 1
. .. .
. �:.
The attached Change Order No. 1 is for the addition of the sump pump discharge collection line to the
contract as previously discussed. .
In addition, a significant amount of poor quality, wet soils and clay were found during the watermain
excavation. These soils could lead to premature degradation of the new roadway from such things as frost
heaves and sinkholes. Therefore, we have negotiated a price with the contractor for MnDOT Type V
geotextile fabric to be installed below the subgrade. The fabric keeps the pavement base materials sepazate
from the underlying soils and maintains a solid uniform road section. We will realize a significant cost
savings using this method as opposed to the altemate method of increasing the roadway subcut and
importing additional granular base material.
The third item on the change order is for a joint saw and seal program to control the location of surface
cracks as recommended by MnDOT for new pavements.
We will also be having the contractor repair a number of cracked sewer services and water service valves
which were found to be in poor or inoperable condition along the project. We will forwazd these costs on
to you for approval once we receive the final numbers.
The net cost of Change Order No. 1 is $35,619.00. Recommend the City Council approve Change Order
No. 1 to Forest Lake Contracting for the Hackmann Avenue Street Improvement Project No. ST. 1998 -1.

SUBJECT: RESOLUTIONPROVIDING FOR THE ISSUANCE OF THE
CITY'S $1,185,000 GENERAL OBLIGATIONBONDS, SERIES 1998A
DATE: Apri117,1998
Attached is the resolution provided to us by Jim O'Meara from the firm of Briggs &
Morgan. The resolution is for the sale of $1,185,000 in General Obligation Water
Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1998A. As you will recall, these bonds are being
issued to provide an advance refunding of the Water Bonds of 1991. By issuing this debt
the City will save approximately $121,649.70 over the life of the issue. The debt service
on the water bonds is being provided by the revenue generated through the Utility Fund.
As part of the process of issuing these bonds, the City of Fridley is required to undergo a
fairly rigorous financial review process conducted by Moody's Investor Service who acts
as our bond rating agency. We were again given a Aal rating, which is the highest rating
a City of our size is capable of attaining. It seemed very evident during this review that
the overriding reason for the reaffirmation of the Aal rating are the financial resources of
the City, as compared to the outstanding debt.
Since the bids are not due until Monday, Apri120th, the information from the bidders will
not be available until the evening of the Council Meeting. A representative from
Springstead will be present to review the results of the bidding process and make a
recommendation for the lowest underwriter or syndicate.

(c) Termination of Book-Entry Only System.
Discontinuance of a particular Depository's
services and termination of the book-entry only
system may be effected as follows:

the City and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under

the best interests of the City.
(ii) Upon termination of the services of the
Depository as provided in the preceding

depository is willing to undertake the :
functions of the Depository hereunder can be
found which, in the opinion of the City, is

City determines that it is in the best
interests of the City that the Beneficial
Owners be issued certificates for the Bonds,

the name of the Nominee, but may be
registered in whatever name or names the
Holder of the Bonds shall designate at that
time, in accordance with paragraph 11 hereof.

designated as the transferee by the Holders,
in accordance with paragraph 11 hereof, the
Bonds will be delivered to the Beneficial
Owners.

City's execution and delivery of the Blanket
Issuer Letter of Representations in substantially

hereby affirmed and ratified. The provisions in
the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations are
incorporated herein by reference and made fully a
part of this Resolution to the same extent as if
set forth in full herein, and if and to the extent
that any provisions of this Resolution are
inconsistent or in conflict with the provisions� of
the Blanket Issuer Letter of Representations, the
provisions in the Blanket Issuer Letter of
Representations shall control.
4. Purpose; Refunding Findinas. The Bonds shall provide
moneys for a crossover refunding of the City's Refunded
Bonds. It is hereby found, determined and declared
that such refunding is necessary or desirable for the
reduction of debt service cost to the City and/or the
929925.1 7.07
adjustment of the maturities of the Prior Bonds in
relation to the sources for their repayment, and will
result in a reduction of debt service cost to the City.
Al1 of the proceeds, including all investment earnings
thereon, of the Prior Bonds have heretofore been
expended by the City for the types of uses and purposes
for which the City issued said Prior Bonds. The
current and anticipated balances in�the separate debt
service account heretofore established by the City for
the payment of the principal of and interest on the
Prior Bonds have been taken into account in
appropriately sizing the Bonds. The present value of
the dollar amount of the debt service on the Bonds is
lower by at least 3% than the present value of the
dollar amount of the debt service on the Refunded
Bonds, as provided in Minnesota Statutes, Section
475.67, Subdivision 12. The City has observed and
complied with all of its obligations and covenants made
by the City in connection with the issuance of the
Prior Bonds.
5. Interest. The Bonds shall bear interest payable
semiannually on February 1 and August 1 of each year
(each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing
August 1, 1998, calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the
respective rates per annum set forth opposite the
maturity years, as follows:

6. Redemption. All Bonds maturing after February 1, 2008,
shall be subject to redemption and prepayment at the
option of the City on said date and on any date
thereafter at a price of par plus accrued interest to
date of redemption. Redemption may be in whole or in
part of the Bonds subject to prepayment. If less than
all Bonds are to be prepaid, the City shall select the
amounts of each maturity to be prepaid. If only part
of the Bonds having a common maturity date are called
for prepayment, the specific Bonds to be prepaid shall
be chosen by lot by the Bond Registrar. Bonds or
portions thereof called for redemption shall be due and
payable on the redemption date, and interest thereon
shall cease to accrue from and after the redemption
date. Published notice of redemption shall in each
case be given if and to the extent required by
929925.1 Z.OQ
v
applicable law, and mailed notice of redemption shall
be given to the paying agent and to each affected
registered owner of the Bonds.
To effect a partial redemption of Bonds having a common
maturity date, the Bond Registrar, prior to giving
notice of redemption, shall assign to each Bond of that
maturity a distinctive number for each $5,000 of the
principal amount of such Bond. The Bond Registrar
shall then select by lot, using such method of
selection as it shall deem proper in its discretion,
from the numbers so assigned to such Bonds, as many
numbers as, at $5,000 for each number, shall equal the
principal amount of such Bonds to be redeemed. The
Bonds to be redeemed shall be the Bonds to which were
assigned numbers so selected; provided, however, that
only so much of the principal amount of each such Bond
of a denomination of more than $5,000 shall be redeemed
as shall equal $5,000 for each number assigned to it
and so selected. If a Bond is to be redeemed only in
part, it shall be surrendered to the Bond Registrar
(with, if the City or Bond Registrar so requires, a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the City or Bond Registrar duly executed by the
registered owner thereof or by the registered owner's
attorney, duly authorized in writing) and the City
shall execute (if necessary) and the Bond Registrar
shall authenticate and deliver to the registered owner
of such Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or
Bonds of the same series having the same stated
maturity and interest rate and of any authorized
denomination or denominations, as requested by such
registered owner, in aggregate principal amount equal
to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Bond so surrendered.

Resolution.

9. Execution: Temporary Bonds. The Bonds shall be
executed on-behalf of the City by the signatures of its
Mayor and City Manager and be sealed with the seal of
the City; provided, however, that the seal of the City
may be a printed facsimile; and provided further that
both of such signatures may be facsimiles and the
corporate seal may be omitted on the Bonds as permitted
by law, unless otherwise provided in the applicable
form of Bond. In the event of disability or
resignation or other absence of either such officer,
the Bonds may be signed by that officer who may act on
behalf of such absent or disabled officer. In case
either such officer whose signature shall appear on the
Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the
delivery of the Bonds, such signature shall
nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes,
the same as if he or she had remained in office until
delivery. The City may elect to deliver, in lieu of
definitive bonds, one or more typewritten temporary
bonds in substantially the form set forth above, with
such changes as may be necessary to reflect more than-
one maturity in a single temporary bond. Such
temporary bonds shall, upon the preparation of the
definitive bonds and the execution thereof, be
exchanged therefor and canceled.
10. Authentication. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory
for any purpose or be entitled to any security or
benefit under this Resolution unless a Certificate of
Authentication on such Bond, substantially in the form
hereinabove set forth, shall have been duly executed by
an authorized representative of the Bond Registrar.
Certificates of Authentication on different Bonds need
not be signed by the same person. The Bond Registrar
shall authenticate the signatures of officers of the
City on each Bond by execution of the Certificate of
Authentication on the Bond and by inserting as the date
of registration in the space provided the date on which
the Bond is authenticated, except that for purposes of
delivering the original Bonds to the Purchaser, the
Bond Registrar shall insert as a date of registration
the date of original issue, which date is May l, 1998.
The Certificate of Authentication so executed on each
Bond shall be conclusive evidence that it has been
authenticated and delivered under this Resolution.
11. Registration; Transfer; Exchanae. The City will cause
to be kept at the principal office of the Bond
Registrar a bond register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Bond Registrar may
prescribe, the Bond Registrar shall provide for the
registration of Bonds and the registration of transfers
of Bonds entitled to be registered or transferred as
herein provided.

authenticate, insert the date of registration (as
provided in paragraph 10) of, and deliver, in the name
of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Bonds of any authorized denomination or
denominations of a like aggregate principal amount,
having the same stated maturity and interest rate, as
requested by the transferor; provided, however, that no
Bond may be registered in blank or in the name of
"bearer" or similar designation.
At the option of the registered owner of a Bond,
Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any authorized
denomination or denominations of a like aggregate
principal amount and stated maturity, upon surrender of
the Bonds to be exchanged at the principal office of
the Bond Registrar. Whenever any Bonds are so
surrendered for exchange, the City shall execute (if
necessary), and the Bond Registrar shall a�thenticate,
insert the date of registration of, and deliver the
Bonds which the registered owner making the exchange is
entitled to receive.
All Bonds surrendered upon any exchange or
transfer provided for in this Resolution shall be
promptly canceled by the Bond Registrar and thereafter
disposed of as directed by the City.
Al1 Bonds delivered in exchange for or upon
transfer of Bonds shall be valid obligations of the
City evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Resolution, as the Bonds
surrendered for such exchange or transfer.
Every Bond presented or surrendered for transfer
or exchange shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer, in form satisfactory
to the Bond Registrar, duly executed by the registered
owner thereof or his, her or its attorney duly
authorized in writing.
The Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection with t�e transfer or
exchange of any Bond and any legal or unusual costs
regarding transfers and lost Bonds.
Transfers shall also be subject to reasonable
regulations of the City contained in any agreement
with, or notice to, the Bond Registrar, including
regulations which permit the Bond Registrar to close
its transfer books between record dates and payment
dates . _._ _-_-

12. RiQhts U�on Transfer or Exchanae. Each Bond delivered

other Bond shall carry all the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried
by such other Bond.

shall be paid on each Interest Payment Date by check or
draft mailed to the person in whose name the Bond is
registered on the registration books of the City
maintained by the Bond Registrar and at the address
appearing thereon at the close of business on the
fifteenth (15th) day of the calendar month preceding
such Interest Payment Date (the "Regular Record Date").
Any such interest not so timely paid shall cease to be
payable to the person who is the registered owner
thereof as of the Regular Record Date, and shall be
payable to the person who is the registered owner
thereof at the close of business on a date (the
"Special Record Date") fixed by the Bond Registrar
whenever money becomes available for payment of the
defaulted interest. Notice of the Special Record Date

owners not less than ten (10) days prior to the Special

of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if
any, and interest (subject to the payment provisions in
paragraph 13 above) on, such Bond and for all other
purposes whatsoever whether or not such Bond shall be
overdue, and neither the City nor the Bond Registrar
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
15. Deliverv; Application of Proceeds. The Bonds shall be
delivered by the City to the Purchaser upon receipt of
the purchase price, and the Purchaser shall not be
obliged to see to the proper application thereof.
16. Fund and Accounts. For the convenience and proper
administration of the moneys to be borrowed and repaid
on the Bonds and the Refunded Bonds, and to make
adequate and specific security to the Purchaser and
registered owners from time to time of the Bonds and
the Refunded Bonds, there is hereby created a special
fund to be designated the '�General Obligation Water
Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1998A Fund" (the
"Fund��) to be administered and maintained by the City
Finance Director as a bookkeeping account separate and
apart from all other funds maintained in the official
financial records of the City. The Fund shall be
maintained in the manner herein specified until all of
the Refunded Bonds and the Bonds herein authorized and
929925.1 �.�0
the interest thereon shall have been fully paid. There
shall be maintained in the Fund two separate accounts_, .
to be designated the "Escrow Account" and the "Debt
Service Account," respectively.
(i) Escrow Account. The proceeds of the sale of the
Bonds, less such proceeds of the Bonds (if any) as
may be used to pay issuance expenses or
hereinafter directed for deposit into the Debt
Service Account, plus any other available
municipal funds ("Other Funds"), if any, as may be
required to adequately fund the Escrow Account
(under the Escrow Agreement) to accomplish i:ts
purposes, are hereby pledged and appropriated and
shall be credited to the Escrow Account. The
Escrow Account shall be maintained as an escrow
account with the Escrow Agent which is and shall
be a suitable financial institution within the
State of Minnesota whose deposits are insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation and
whose combined capital and surplus is at least
$500,000. All proceeds of the sale of the Bonds
to be received by the Escrow Agent shall be
applied to fund the Escrow Account or to pay costs
of issuing the Bonds. Such proceeds of the Bonds
(together with the Other Funds, if any) which are
not used by the Escrow Agent to pay costs of
issuance of the Bonds are hereby irrevocably
pledged and appropriated to the Escrow Account,
together with all investment earnings thereon.
The Escrow Account shall be invested in securities
maturing or callable at the option of the holder
thereof on such dates and bearing interest at such
rates as shall be required to provide funds
sufficient, together with any cash or other funds
retained in the Escrow Account, to pay (1) when
called for redemption on February 1, 2000, the
principal amount of each of the Refunded Bonds and
(2) the regularly-scheduled interest due on the
Bonds on or before February 1, 2000. The moneys
in the Escrow Account shall be used solely for the
purposes herein set forth and for no other
purpose, except that any surplus in the Escrow
Account shall be remitted to the City, all in
accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
The City's share of such Other Funds, if any, as
may be required to fully fund the Escrow Account
as described above is hereby appropriated for said
purpose and the investment and disbursement
thereof provided in the Escrow Agreement are
hereby authorized and approved.
(ii) Debt Service Account. To the
there are hereby pledged and
appropriated and there shall
929925.1 Z.��
Debt Service
irrevocably
be credited:
Account
(1) all
accrued interest received upon delivery of the
Bonds which is not then...depasited into::.the:.Escr.ow
Account; (2} all collections of any ad valorem
taxes hereafter levied by the City for the payment
of the Bonds; (3) appropriate amounts of the "Net
Revenues" (hereinafter defined) of the City's
municipal water system and utility, but only in
such amounts as shall be necessary, together with
other monies in the Debt Service Account and
available for such purposes, to pay, when due, the
principal of and interest on the Bonds; (4) all
investment earnings on funds held in the Debt
Service Account; and (5) any amounts received by
the City upon termination of the Escrow Account.
The foregoing funds are hereby pledged to the Debt
Service Account, but only in such amounts and at
such times as may be necessary, together with
other available funds therein (and the same shall
be used solely), to pay the principal of and
interest on the Bonds, when due.
As used in this paragraph, Net Revenues of the
City's municipal water system shall mean the gross
revenues derived by the City from the operation of said
system, including all charges for service, use,
availability, and connection to that system, and all
monies received from the sale of any facilities or
equipment of said system or any by-products thereof,
less all normal, reasonable, or current costs of
owning, operating, and maintaining said system. If any
payment of principal or interest on the Bonds shall
become due when there are not sufficient funds pledged
for such purposes in the Debt Service Account to pay
the same, the City Finance Director shall pay such
principal or interest from the general fund or other
available fund of the City, and such fund shall be
reimbursed for such advances from the proceeds of the
applicable Net Revenues, when collected. The City
hereby covenants that it will impose and collect
charges for the service, use, and availability of and
connection to the City's municipal water system at the
times and in the amounts required to produce such Net
Revenues adequate, together with other sources of
funding available for such purposes, to pay in a full
and timely manner all principal of and interest on the
Bonds, and on any and all other obligations which are
or may become payable in whole or in part from such Net
Revenues. Provided such debt service coverage is found
to exist (and the Council hereby makes said finding
with respect to the Bonds), the City may issue
additional obligations secured in whole or in part from
such Net Revenues, whose pledge to any such new obliga-
tions may be made superior or subordinate to, or on a
parity with, the pledges of such Net Revenues made
herein to the Bonds.
929925.1 7.2L
The City has heretofore issued and currently has
outstanding certain general obligations of the City,<
which are payable from certain of the Net Revenues of
the municipal water system and the Council hereby
determines that the estimated Net Revenues will be
sufficient, in addition to all other sources available
for such purposes, for the payment of the Bonds payable
therefrom, and all such additional obligations, and
accordingly the pledges and appropriations of Net
Revenues to the payment of the Bonds pursuant to this
Resolution are hereby made on a parity with any and all
such prior pledges of Net Revenues.
No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be
used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding
investments or to replace funds which were used
directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding
investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary
period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose
for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to
the above in an amount not greater than any applicable
"minor portion" which may be available for the Bonds.
To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums
from time to time held in the Debt Service Account in
excess of amounts which under then-applicable federal
arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to
� yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the
applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage
regulations on such investments after taking into
account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor
portion" made available under the federal arbitrage
regulations. Money in the Fund shall not be invested
in obligations or deposits issued by, guaranteed by or
insured by the United States or any agency or
instrumentality thereof if and to the extent that such
investment would cause the Bonds or any Additional
Bonds to be "federally guaranteed" within the meaning
of Section 149(b) of the federal Internal Revenue Code
of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
17. 105% Debt Service Coveracre. It is hereby determined
that the estimated collections of the revenues
dedicated to the Debt Service Account pursuant to
paragraph 16(ii) of this Resolution would produce at
least 5°s in excess of the amount needed to meet, when
due, the principal of and interest on the Bonds.
The City Clerk is hereby directed to file a
certified copy of this Resolution with the County
Auditor of Anoka County and to obtain the certificate
of said office required by Minnesota Statutes, Section
475.63.
929925.1 7.�Q
v
18. General Obligation Pledge. The full faith and credit
and taxing powers of the Cit�r__ are,.hereby.,gledged to:: the
payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds,
and in the event of any current or anticipated
deficiency of funds in the Debt Service Account of
amounts needed to make any such payment, when due, the
Council shall levy ad valorem taxes on all taxable
property in the City in the amount of such deficiency.
If the balance in the Debt Service Account is ever
insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due
on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the
deficiency shall be promptly..gaid out--of any other
funds of the City which are available for such purpose,
and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without
interest from the Debt Service Account when a
sufficient balance is available therein.
19. Prior Bonds: Securitv. Until retirement and full
payment of the Prior Bonds, all provisions heretofore
made for the security thereof shall be observed by the
City; provided, however, that the Council hereby finds
and determines that the proceeds of the sale of the
Bonds to be used to refund the Refunded Bonds, together
with other funds available and appropriated to the
Escrow Account for said purpose, will be sufficient,
together with the earnings on the investment of such
funds in the Escrow Account, to pay all principal of
and interest on the Refunded Bonds.
20. Redemption of Refunded Bonds. The Prior Bonds which
mature in 2001 and thereafter shall be redeemed and
prepaid on February 1, 2000, and the paying
agent/registrar for the Prior Bonds is hereby
authorized and directed to cause notice of said
redemption to be given to the owners of the Prior Bonds
in the manner required by law and by the terms of the
Prior Bonds.
21. Escrow Aareement. On or prior to the date of delivery
of the Bonds the Mayor and City Manager are hereby
authorized to execute, on behalf of the City, the
Escrow Agreement substantially in the form heretofore
presented to the City but with such insertions and
modifications as shall be deemed by them to be
necessary to accomplish its purposes, as evidenced by
their execution and delivery thereof. All terms and
conditions of such Escrow Agreement, as so executed and
delivered, are hereby approved and adopted and made a
part of this Resolution.
22. Purchase of Securities. Springsted Incorporated, the
City's public finance advisor for the Bonds, is hereby
authorized, in consultation and coordination with the
City Finance Director to solicit sufficient bids and to
purchase or cause to_be__purchased for and on behalf of
929925.1 �.��'F
the City and/or the Escrow Agent the appropriate
securities (including United States Treasury
Securities) to be placed in the Escrow Account and to
execute all such doeuments (including the appropriate
subscription forms, if applicable) required to effect
such purchase.
23. Records and Certificates. The officers of the City are
hereby authorized and directed to prepare and furnish
to the Purchaser, and to the attorneys approving the
legality of the issuance of the Bonds, certified copies
of all proceedings and records of the City relating to
the Bonds and to the financial condition and affairs of
the City, and such other affidavits, certificates and
information as are required to show the facts relating
to the Bonds as the same appear from the books and
records under their custody and control or as otherwise
known to them, and all such certified copies,
certificates and affidavits, including any heretofore
furnished, shall be deemed representations of the City
as to the facts recited therein.
24. Negative Covenant as to Use of Proceeds and
Improvements. The City hereby covenants not to use the
project which was financed by the issuance of the Prior
Bonds (the "Improvements" or the "Project") or to cause
or permit the Improvements to be used, or to enter into
any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the
Improvements, in such a manner as (or to take any
action or permit any other circumstance to exist or any'
action to be taken, the effect to which would be) to
cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" within
the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the
Code. In particular, but without limitation, the City
covenants to forebear the implementation, effectuation
or enforcement of any and all contracts or other
agreements respecting the Improvements or any property
benefitted thereby or assessed with respect thereto,
which it may now or in the future have with developers,
contractors, owners, lessees, managers, or any other
person or parties to the extent that such
implementation, effectuation or enforcement would
(individually or in the aggregate) cause the Bonds to
become such "private activity bonds," and to said
limited extent the City would and hereby does (solely
for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds) disavow any
and all such provisions, entitlements and enforcements
which would or could become so offending.
25. Tax-Exempt Status of the Bonds; Rebate.
(a) The City shall comply with requirements
necessary under the Code to establish and
maintain the exclusion from gross income
under Section 103 of the Code of the interest
929925 .1 7.2�
on the Bonds, including without limitation
but only if and to the extent applicable (1)
requirements relating to temporary periods
for investments, (2} limitations on amounts
invested at a yield greater than the yield on
the Bonds, and (3) the rebate of excess
investment earnings to the United States.
(b) For purposes of qualifying for the small
issuer exception to the federal arbitrage
rebate requirements provided in Section
148(f)(4)(D) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), the City'
� hereby finds, determines and declares that
(1) the City is, and the Bonds are issued by,
a governmental unit with general taxing
powers, (2) no Bond is a private activity
bond, (3) 95% or more of the net proceeds of
the Bonds are to be used for local-
governmental activities of the City (or of a
governmental unit the jurisdiction of which
is entirely within the jurisdiction of the
City), and (4) the sum of the principal
amount of the Bonds plus the aggregate face
amount of all other tax-exempt obligations
(other than private activity bonds) issued by
the City (and all entities subordinate to, or
treated as one issuer with, the City) during
the 1998 calendar year is not reasonably
expected to exceed $5,000,000, all within the
meaning of Section 148(f)(4)(D) of the Code.
(c) For purposes of substantiating the
determination that the Bonds, being refunding
bonds, are eligible for exception from rebate
pursuant to the above, in particular because
they meet the applicable requirements set out
in Section 148 (f )(4 )(D) (v) of the Code, the
City hereby represents and determines that
(1) the Prior Bonds were issued in 1991 by
the City, which was at that time and is now a
governmental unit with general taxing powers;
(2) the Prior Bonds were not private activity
bonds under Sections 103 and 141 through 150
of the Code, and the City qualified the Bonds
within the '�small-issuer" exception of
Section 148 (f) (4) (D) of the Code; (3) 95% or
more of the net proceeds of the Prior Bonds
were used for local governmental activities
of the City; (4 ) the City, together with all
issuers subordinate to or treated as one
issuer with the City, did not issue in excess
of $5,000,000 of bonds (other than private
activity bonds) during calendar year 1991;
(5) the average maturity date of the Bonds is
929925.1 �.�A
b
not later than the average maturity date of
the Refunded Bonds; and (6) none of the Bonds
has a maturity date which is later than 30
years after the date on which the Prior Bonds
were issued.
26. No Desianation of the Bonds as Oualified Tax-Exempt
Obligations. The City is not designating the Bonds as
"qualified tax-exempt obligations'� for purposes of
Section 265(b)(3) of the Code.
27. Supplemental Resolution. The December 10, 1990,
resolution of the Council authorizing the issuance of
the Prior Bonds is hereby supplemented to the extent
necessary to give effect to the provisions of this
Resolution.
28. Defeasance. When any obligation of a Bond has been
discharged as provided in this paragraph, all pledges,
covenants and other rights granted by this Resolution
to the registered owner of that Bond (with respect to
the obligation thereof so defeased) shall, to the
extent permitted by law, cease. The City may at any
time discharge any or all of such obligation(s) with
respect to any Bond, subject to the provisions of law
now or hereafter authorizing or regulating such action,
by depositing irrevocably in escrow, with a suitable
institution qualified by law as an escrow agent for
this purpose, cash or securities which are backed by
the full faith and credit of the United States of
America, bearing interest payable at such times and at
such rates and maturing on such dates and in such
amounts as shall be required and sufficient, subject to
sale and/or reinvestment in like securities, to pay
said obligation(s), which may include any interest
payment on such Bond and/or principal amount-due
thereon at a stated maturity (or if irrevocable
provision shall have been made for permitted prior
redemption of such principal amount, at such earlier
redemption date).
29. Continuincr Disclosure Undertaking. With respect to the
continuing disclosure requirements under Rule 15c2-
12(b)(5) (the "Rule") of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, on the date of actual issuance and delivery
of the Bonds, the City will execute and deliver a
Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the "Undertaking")
whereunder the City will covenant to provide, or cause
to be provided, annual financial information, including
audited financial statements of the City, and notices
of certain material events, as specified in the
Undertaking. The proposed form of the Undertaking
which has been submitted to the City for.the Council's
consideration is hereby approved, and the officers of
the City are hereby authorized to execute and deliver
929925 .1 7.�7
• !

form thereof°reflecting such modifications thereof as
are consistent with the Rule, requested by the original
purchaser of the Bonds and acceptable to the City -
officials who shall execute the Undertaking (which
consent shall be conclusively evidenced by their
execution and delivery thereof). The Undertaking, as .
so executed and delivered by the City, shall be as much
a part of this Resolution as if set forth in full
herein and shall be for the benefit of the owners from
time to time of the Bonds.
30. Severabilitv. If any section, paragraph or provision

SUBJECT: Right-of-Way Ordinance Summary
As a result of the Council's comments on the right-of-way ordinance at their March 16 meeting, the
following is a summary of the major changes made to the right-of-way ordinance.
A new paragraph was placed on page 12, Section 407.07 as a result of the meeting with the utilities,
allowing the cities to waive fees for emergencies within the city. T'his addressed their concerns regarding
the number of fees and suspense which would have to be satisfied in the event of a tornado, flood or other
major event.
As a means of clarifying the cost associated with an excavation, I have identified an excavation permit to
consist of three major parts: the City cost, the excavation and the mapping, as noted on page 14, Section
407.09. In essence this identifies the excavation fee as being $300. Currently, we are charging $200 for a
utility excavation. In the original draft I had identified a total figure of $520.
As a result of the Council's concern, the definition of obstruction was expanded to apply to anything over
8 hours in the right-of-way as noted on page 5, Section 407.02, s and t. I also reduced the cost of an
obshuction permit to just the review and recording for $75 from $240 as noted on page 31.
The mapping fee is separately defined within the excavation requirement and a statement has been added
to the ordinance indicating that a mapping fee is not required if the mapping data is provided on disk in GIS
compatible city format. This is noted on page 14, Section 407.10, 3b and page 25, Section 407.21.
The degradation cost was in error and has been corrected to reflect a$75 per lane foot as compared to
previously noted $450 on page 31.
The apparent contradiction and misunderstanding regarding the undergrounding utilities, I believe has been
corrected on page 26, Section 407.22. It now makes it clear that undergrounding only applies to new
construction that is directed by the City Council.

The issue regarding franchises specifically establishes supremacy on page 2, Section 407.01 3a. In regard
to exemption of a user fee, this is noted in Section 407.03 2, exempting the payment of user fees if a
franchise fee is paid by a utility. Other fees could be exempt as part of the franchise fee in a negotiation
process if the Council so desires. This type of action would then be covered by the supremacy clause as
noted. "
I have met with the utilities regarding these items on March 24. Copies of the revised document have been
mailed to each of the utilities: NSP, Minnegasco, Paragon and US West. I believe that while I have not
satisfied all of their requests, the document as currently written addressed their issues as well as those of the
City. I believe Paragon still takes a position that they should be exempt from all fees and treated sepazately
since they are the only utility paying a franchise fee to the City.
During this same period I have been chairing a City Engineers Association of Minnesota/League task force
on the fee structure. To date we have established the components of the various fees. All of the components
identified aze optional items to be considered by cities and in most cases, exceed those iterr�s that I have
included in our ordinance. The task force is now developing the estimated time factors for the various
components of the fees. Again, it appears that the times will probably be considerably longer than those that
I have included in my analysis. After the task force action is completed and the information is distributed
by the League, we can address this when the PUC rules become published for a possible revision in 1999.
I believe that at this time the components and rates established are reasonable for what the City is actually
expending in support of the right-of-way permit and inspection process.
As a result of the meetings with the utilities and the task force, I believe that the ordinance submitted to the
Council is a better document than originally developed by the League and properly addresses the municipal
as well as utility issues in overseeing the right-of-way and recoupment of costs associated with that.
Recommend that the City Council adopt the attached ordinance.
Recommend that the City Council approve the summary ordinance to be officially published in the Fridley
Focus.

IN ITS $NTIRETY, AND ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTBR 407, $NTITLI3D
"RIGHT-OF-WAY MANAG$MENTn AND AMENDING CHAPT$R 11 OF THE
FRIDLBY CITY COD$, $NTITLED "G$NBRAL PROVISIONS AND F$ES�'
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
407.01. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE
1. To provide for the health, safety and well-being of its
citizens, and to ensure the structural integrity of its streets
and the appropriate use of the rights-of-way, the City strives
to keep its rights-of-way in a state of good repair and free
from unnecessary encumbrances. Although the general population
bears the financial burden for the upkeep of the rights-of-way,
a primary cause for the early and excessive deterioration of its
rights-of-way is frequent excavation.
2.
Right-of-way obstruction is a source of frustration for
merchants, business owners and the general population which must
avoid these obstructions or change travel or shopping plans
because of them and has a detrimental effect on commerce.
Persons whose equipment is within the right-of-way are the
primary cause of these frequent obstructions.
The City holds the rights-of-way within its geographical
boundaries as an asset in trust for its citizens. The City and
other public entities have invested millions of dollars in
public funds to build and maintain the rights-of-way. It also
recognizes that some persons, by placing their equipment in the
right-of-way and charging the citizens of the City for goods and
services delivered thereby, are using this property held for the
public good. Although such services are often necessary or
convenient for the citizens, such persons receive revenue and/or
profit through their use of public property.
As a result c
necessary for
is placed in
and to serve
and the other
placed in the
f all these intrusions in the right-of-way, it is
the City to establish a system of documenting what
the rights-of-way within its municipal boundaries
as a central record agency to inform its citizens
public entities of the facilities that have been
right-of-way that is held in trust for them.
In response to the foregoing facts, the City hereby enacts this
new Chapter of the City Code relating to right-of-way permits
and administration, together with making necessary revisions to
12.03
�
other Code provisions. This Chapter imposes reasonable
regulations on providers of electricity, light, heat, cooling
energy, liquid and gaseous fuels, information and communication
service to the public that place and maintain facilities or
equipment currently within the City's rights-of-way or to be
placed therein at some future time. It is intended to
complement the regulatory roles of state and federal agencies.
Under this Chapter, persons disturbing and obstructing the-
rights-of-way will bear a fair share of the financial
responsibility for their integrity. Finally, this Chapter
provides for recovery of out-of-pocket and projected costs from
persons using the public rights-of-way and adopts the standards
developed by the Public Utilities Commission (PUC) on maximum
restoration requirements 7819.9900 through 7819.9950.
3. In addition to the foregoing recovery of costs and regulation of
use, the City Council determines that there is an existing and
legitimate state and local public policy, which authorizes the
City to require payments as reimbursement or return to the
public for the use value of the public rights-of-way from those
who obtain revenue or profits from such use. This reimbursement
is provided for and defined in this ordinance as the "user fee."
This fee does not apply to the repair, replacement or
reconstruction of an existing facility. Telecommunication
facilities are exempt from a user fee by state statute.
a. Public Interest and Welfare.
The City Council finds that it is in the public interes
provide for the payment of a user fee by all persons who use
occupy the right-of-way for operating their businesses.
provides equity by requiring all users of the right-of-way to
compensation apportioned equally among them all for the value
benefit of using such right-of-way. To ensure such
treatment, this Chapter exempts franchise holders which
franchise fees to the City on the date of adoption of
Chapter from the payment of a user fee.
b. Legislative Power.

In these situations, the City Council desires to exercise its
lawful police power and common law authority, and all statutory
authority which is availabls to it, including but not limited to,
the powers con€erred on it under Minn. Stat. §§ 216B.36, 222.37,
237.16 and 300.03, (410.09) and 412.211, subdivisions 6, 23 and
32. The Council finds and determines that the public interest
will be best protected by adopting this Chapter conferring the
right to occupy the right-of-way in return for payment as
authorized by law.
12.04

c. Not a Rate.
The City Council finds and determines that the user fee
authorized by this Chapter is not and is not intended to be a
rate as that term is defined in Minn. Stat. § 216B.02, Subd. 5.
Such user fee is not a fee for a service that is provided to the
customer of a person using the right-of-way, but is rather a fee
paid for the right of that person to operate in the public right-
of-way, and to maintain the equipment of a utility in the right-
of-way in the City of Fridley.

1. Timing.
The work to be done under the Excavation Permit, and the Patching or
Restoration of the Right-of-way as required herein, must be completed
within the dates specified in the permit, increased by as many days as
work could not be done because of extraordinary circumstances beyond
the control of the Permittee or when work was prohibited as unseasonal
or unreasonable under Section 407.14.
2. Patch and Restoration.
Permittee shall Patch its own work. The City may choose either to
have the Permittee restore the Right-of-Way or to Restore the pavement
itself .
a. City Restoration.
If the City restores the pavement, Permittee shall pay the costs

costs associated with having to correct the defective work.
12.17 �
15
b. Permittee Restoration.
If the Permittee Restores the Right-of-Way itself, the ��
Citv may require at the time of application for an Excavation
Permit the posting of a Construction Performance Bond in an
amount determined by the �� citv to be sufficient to cover
the cost of Restoration. If, within twenty-four (24) months
after completion of the Restoration of the Right-of-Way, the
�= Citv determines that the Right-of-Way has been properly
Restored, the surety on the Construction Performance Bond:shall

The Permittee shall perform Patching and/or Restoration according to
the standards and with the materials specified by the �^��- Citv.
The �� Citv shall have the authority to prescribe the manner and
extent of the Restoration, and may do so in written procedures of
general application or on a case-by-case basis. The ��^�� Citv in
exercising this authority shall comply with PUC standards for Right-
of-Way Restoration and shall further be guided by the following
considerations:
a. The number, size, depth and duration of the excavations,
disruptions or damage to the Right-of-Way;
b. The traffic volume carried by the Right-of-Way; the
character of the neighborhood surrounding the Right-of-Way;
c. The pre-excavation condition of the Right-of-Way; the
remaining life-expectancy of the Right-of-Way affected by
the excavation;
d. Whether the relative cost of the method of restoration to
the Permittee is in reasonable balance with the prevention
of an accelerated depreciation of the right-of-way that
would otherwise result from the excavation, disturbance or
damage to the Right-of-Way; and
e. The likelihood that the particular method of restoration
would be effective in slowing the depreciation of the Right-
of-Way that would otherwise take place.
4. Guarantees.
By choosing to Restore the Right-of-Way itself, the Permittee
guarantees its work and shall maintain it for twenty-four (24) months
following its completion. During this 24-month period it shall, upon
12.18
16
notification from the �^�r Citv, correct all restoration work to
the extent necessary, using the method required by the �� Citv.
Said work shall be completed within five (5) calendar days of the
receipt of the notice from the ��� citx, not including days
during which work cannot be done because of circumstances constituting
force majeure or days when work is prohibited as unseasonal or
unreasonable under Section 407.14.
5. Obligation.
Construction triggers an obligation of the right-of-way user that the
right-of-way restoration be completed according to the conditions set
forth in this Chapter. The right-of-way user also assumes
responsibility for "as built" drawings and for repairing facilities or
structures, including right-of-way that was damaged during facility

satisfactorily and timely complete all Restoration required by the
�� Citv, the ��� Citv at its option may do such work. In
that event the Permittee shall pay to the City, within thirty (30)
days of billing, the cost of Restoring the Right-of-Way. If Permittee
fails to pay as required, the City may exercise its rights under the
Construction Performance Bond.

If a suit is brought against the City under circumstances where the
Registrant or Permittee is required to indemnify, the Registrant or
Permittee, at its sole cost and expense, shall defend the City in the
suite if written notice of the suite is promptly given to the
Registrant or Permittee within a period in which the Registrant or
Permittee is not prejudiced by the lack or delay of notice.
If the Registrant or Permittee is required to indemnify and defend; it
shall thereafter have control of the litigation, but the Registrant or
Permittee may not settle the litigation without the consent of the
City. Consent will not be unreasonably withheld.
This part is not, as to third parties, a waiver of any defense,
immunity, or damage limitation otherwise available to the City.
In defending an action on behalf of the City the Registrant or
Permittee is entitled to assert in an action every defense, immunity,
or clamage limitation that the City could assert in its own behalf.

ORDINANCE SUNIlVIARY
ORDINANCE NO. OFFICIAL TITLE AND SLIMMARY
Title: An Ordinance Repealing Chapter 407 of the Fridley City Code in its Entirety and Adopring a New
Chapter 407 Entitled "Right-of-way Management" and Amending Chapter 11 of the Fridley City Code Entitled
General Provision and Fees.
II. Summary. The City Council of the City of Fridley does hereby ordain as follows:
The ordinance implements the 1997 Minnesota Legislative law conta.ined in Chapter 123 ,regarding the
management of the public rights-of-way. The purpose of the ordinance is to outline the registration and
permitting requirements as well as coordinating projects providing for recording and mapping of utilities placed
within the public rights-of-way and identifying those conditions associated with restoring the rights-of-way.
The ordinance holds the rights-of-way within the geographic boundaries of the city as an asset and trust for its
citizens. The city and other public entities have invested millions of dollars in public funds to build and
maintain the rights-of-way. It also recognizes that some persons by placing their equipment in the rights-of-way
and charging the citizens of the city for goods and services delivered thereby are using this property held for
the public good, although said services are often necessary or are convenient for citizens, such persons receive
revenue and/or profit through their use of public property.
In these situations the City Council desires to exercise its lawful police power and common law authority and
all statutory authority which is available to it including but not limited the powers conferred upon it by
Minnesota statutes 216B.36, 222.37, 237.16 and 300.03 (410.09) and 412.211 subdivision 6, 23 and 32. The
Council finds and determines that the public interest would be best protected by adopting this chapter conferring
the right to occupy the rights-of-way in return for payment as authorized by law.
The ordinance describes the process to register for work within the rights-of-way, the permit application process
and fees necessary to recoup the cost for administering and managing the rights-of-way as well as establishing
the repair and restoration standards to ensure that the rights-of-way is restored to the same condition prior to
any excavations or work. It also authorizes the process for denying permits, revocation of permits,
establishment of process for emergency work, as well as locating facilities and relocating facilities within the
rights-of-way as well as for the collection of fees.
III. This title and summary have been published to clearly inform he public of the intent and effect of the City of
Fridley's rights-of-way ordinance. A copy of the ordinance in its entirety is available for inspection by any
person during regular business hours at the offices of the City Clerk of the City of Fridley, 6431 University
Avenue NE, Fridley, MN 55432. -
Passed and Adopted by the City Council of the City of Fridley the 6`� day pf April, 1998.

PARKING VARIANCE FOR N RTHWESTERN ORTHOPAEDIC
SURGEONS PARTNERSHIl' LLP
LiLV�.i\ia aava� va ���;,-----
Drs. Crandall, Flake, and Holmberg of Northwestern Orthopaedic Surgeori s Partnership
are requesting a variance to allow the reconstruction of their existing first floor parking
garage as a surgical suite. All but 3 of the 15 interior parking spaces will be eliminated as a
result of the reconstruction. These parking spaces are necessary to meet the Code required
99 spaces for this site. The variance would recognize and allow less than the Code required
number of parking stalls. The partnership has arranged a reciprocal agreement for parking
with the Moose Club across the University Avenue Service Drive.
ANALYSIS:
Code Section 205.13.05.D.7, states that off-street parking shall be provided for all vehicles
concerned with any use on the lot. The petitioners request a 27% reduction in the number
of required on-site parking spaces. A reduction of 27% is the largest reduction of on-site
parking requirements ever requested. If the building's use changes, an on-site parking
problem will result. With the current uses, a parking demand beyond site capacity will
likely occur.
The petitioners have made arrangements for a reciprocal agreement with the Moose Lodge,
west of their site.
HARDSHIP STATEMENT:
We have met with the building contractor to look for_areas where we might expand the existing
parking lot, however, because our building is "landlocked" between University Ave, University Serv
Rd, and 83rd Ave NE with public right of way issues as well as lack of adjoining property, we would
be unable to provide the additional spaces needed on our property to meet the parking requirement
based on gross square feet.
APPEALS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
T'he Appeals Commission recommended approval of variance request, VAR #98-06, with 4
stipulations (Page 5). _ __-_
REC(�MMENDED ACTIONS: 13.�1
Staff recoxnmends denial of variance, b['�K �fy23-O6, since the site will not have adequate
parking and a variance will cause parking deficiencies for future uses.

DEVELOPMENT SITE
Request Drs. Crandall, Flake, and Holmberg are requesting a variance to allow the
reconstruction of their existing first floor pazking garage as a surgical suite. All
but 3 of the 15 interior parking spaces will be eliminated as a result of the
reconstruction. These parking spaces are necessary to meet the Code required
99 spaces for this site. A vaziance would recognize and allow less than the
Code required number of parking stalls.
Site Description/
History
The Northwestern Orthopedic Surgeon's Partnership, LLP building is located
in the southwest corner of the intersection of University Avenue and 83rd
Avenue NE. The surgeon's parinership has arranged for a reciprocal
agreement for parking with the Moose Club across the University Avenue
Service Drive.
In 1980, The Orthopaedic property was platted as part of Caba Realty First
Addition.
In 1988, 4 variances were granted by the City of Fridley to allow construction of
a parking lot to service a 25,656 s.f. building. The variances allowed a reduction
in the east, west, and north parking setbacks from 20' to 15', 12', and 15'
respectively. The fourth vaziance was granted to build the building 26' from the
University Avenue property line, rather than the Code required 35'. Later that
year, the building was actually constructed 25' from the property. line (1' closer
than the variance allowed).
At that time in 1988, staff's analysis included breaking the building into uses
to allow the parking to better match the uses within the building. As Code
allows, staff separated the clinic space, office space, and garage space. Their
calculations resulted in a final determination that 92 stalls would be required.
Original parking included 69 outdoor parking spaces and 21 indoor parking
spaces. There were also 3 future outdoor parking stalls identified. This
` arrangement met the Code requirements for parking.
Later 6 internal stalls were replaced by storage area for files. No permits we�e
issued so the parking reduction was not identified.

Analysis
Code Section 205.14.05.C(1), requires a pazking ratio of 1 parking stall per 150
square feet of building floor area, generally.
Code Section 205.14.05.C(1)(a), requires a parking ratio of 1 parking stall per
250 square feet of building floor area dedicated to office use.
Code Section 205.14.05.C(1)(d), requires a parking ratio of 1 parking stall per
200 square feet of building floor area for speculative floor area.
The Orthopaedic building is three stories tall and the footprint covers 15% of
the site. On top of that footprint, a 3 story office building exists. Each of the 2
lower floors contain 9,432 square feet. The top floor contains 6,792 square feet
total. The building's total square foot dimension is 25,656 square feet.
Staff suggests a speculative formula of 1 parking space per 200 square feet for
this complex due to the nearly 50/50 split between clinic and office uses and
much of the building area being dedicated to halls, restrooms, a cornmon
lunch room, elevator corridors, etc . Applying this ratio after subtracting
incidental space within the building, 99 stalls would be required.
Today, there are 69 parking spaces striped outside and the request for a
variance would eliminate all but 3 of the interior parking spaces. A resulting
total of 72 spaces is contrary to the 78 stalls stated in the petitioner's letter.
The petitioner's survey shows 78 spaces.
The spaces have an indicated stall width of 9'-6", while Code requires 10'-0"
stalls and that 3 stalls are proposed to be added to reach the total of 78 stalls.
At 10' wide, 78 stalls will not be physically possible on this site.
As always, City staff must not only view a building in its current use, but also
consider the future use of the building. If this variance is granted, and the uses
change within the building, (which could happen without notification of the
City because not all businesses require a license prior to operation), a park4ng
problem could result.
With 99 stalls required for this site after new construction, and 72 stalls
4
13.04

Staff Report
VAR #98-06, 8290 Universiry Avenue NE
Page 5
possible, the variance being requested represents a 27% reduction � in the
overall number of stalls required. To off-set the lack of stalls, the petitioner
has arranged for 27 off :site pazking spaces for employees at the Moose Club,
West of the subject parceL
HARDSHIP STATEMENT:
Our practice would be very much interested in building a small operating room suite
in our building for office based out-patient surgery. This would require replacing
several of the parking spaces which are currently housed within our building. The
plans for this development are currently being fabricated and developed.
We would like to respectfully request a variance with respect to the parking
requirement. We request that the parking requirement be based on leasable square feet
rather than gross square feet for our building. If our parking requirements were based
on leasable square footage, even with the build out of an operating room suite, we
could meet the parking requirement with no need for additional spaces. (leasable sq ft
inc surgical suite 19,400%150 = 78 spaces req. see attached plan showing spaces.)
We have met wifh the building contractor to look for areas where we might expand the
existing parking lot, however, because our building is "landlocked" betzveen
University Ave, University Serv Rd, and 83rd Ave NE with public right of zvay issues
as well as lack of adjoining property, we would be unable to provide the additional
spaces needed on our property to meet the parking requirement based on gross square
feet.
PREVIOUS SIMILAR VARIANCES GRANTED:
In 1989, the City approved a variance for the property at 250 Osborne Road for
a proposed theater and retail complex. That variance represented a 13%
reduction in the number of required parking stalls and required cross-parking
agreements with adjacent property owners. The development did not
proceed.
APPEALS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Appeals Commission recommended approval of variance request VAR
#98-06, with the following stipulations.
1. That the area dedicated to employee parking at the Moose Lodge be
N�
13.05

identified on a plan for the staff inembers of both the Moose Lodge and
Clinic complexes;
The cross-walk for employees be painted on the street surface, of
University Avenue Service Drive, in accordance with standards of the
Fridley Public Works Department;
Installation of a walkway occur between the Moose Lodge and Orthopedic
parking areas (leading to the painted cross-walk on the.service drive), priar
to the issuance f a Certificate of Occupancy for the new surgical space.
Any future modification of use, the City shall be notified by the building
owners to re-evalua#e the parking demands of that new use prior to
commencement of sale or lease.
2.
3.
4.
Staff recommends that if the Council chooses to concur with the Appeals Commission, the
document related to #4 be in a recordable form and must be recorded at Anoka County prior to
issuance of the Building Permit.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS:
Staff recommends denial of variance VAR #98-06 since the variance will cause present or future
owners parking deficiencies for the existing use and the future use. Even with a reciprocal parking-
agreement, the 27% reduction would set a new precedent for variances of this type.

Dear Council Members:
Northwesterrt Orthopaedic Swgeons Par�neFShi.g would respectfully like to apply for a
variance on behalf of Orthopaedic Partners, P.A
We have practiced orthopaedic surgery here in the community of Fridley for the last 10
years and have been very gleased with our �ractice. Currently our parking requirements
are based on gross square footage of the building. We do meet the qualifications for
parking under these criteria. (Crross sq $ 24964)
Our practice would be very much interested in building a sma11 operating room suite in our
building for office based out-patient surgery. T}us vvoul� require replacing several of ihe
parkina spaces which are currently housed within our building. The plans for this
development are cunently being fabricate� and develo�ed.
We would like to respectfully request a variance with resgect to the parking requirement.
We request that the parking requirement be b�sed on leasable square feet rather than gr�ss
square feet for our building. If our parking requirements were based on leasable squaze
footage, even with the build out of an o�erating ro�m suite, tive could meet the parking
requirement with no need for additional spaces. (Leasable sq ft inc surgical suite
19,400/250 = 78 spaces req. See attached plan shoiving the spaces,)
We have met with the building contractor to look for areas where we mi�ht expand the
e�sting parking lot, however, because our building is "landlocked" between University
Ave, University Serv Rd, and 83`� Ave NE with public right of way issues as well as lack
of adjoining property, we would be unable to provide the additional spaees needed on our
property to meet the parking re4uirement based on grnss s4uare feet.

We have never had any complaints in regard to �arking over the period of neazly 10-:years. -
Generally our lot is 25-50% filled. We do feel that the addit�on of an operating roam suite
in our building would be a major benefit tfl the patients in the �ommunity and surrounding
areas, affording our patients excellence in orthopaedic care. The anticipated flow through
the surgery suite would be low, }�erha�s 6 patients per day. We do not feel that the
granting of the variance requested would orea�e any difficulty with the parkin� sit�ation.
Sincerely,

1.
PARTNERSHIP LLP:
Per Section 205.14.05.C.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the number of
parking stalls as required by City Code to allow an expansion within the existing
building footprint on Lot 1, Block 1, Caba Realty First Addition, generally located at
8290 University Avenue. �
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Mau, to waive the reading of the public hearing
notice and to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON BEAULIEU
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED.AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:33
P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated the variance is being requested by Northwestem Orthopaedic
Surgeons. The property is zoned C-2, General Business, and is located on a loopback
parcel at the southwest comer of University Avenue and 83'd Avenue. To the north is
property zoned C-2, General Business; to the west is C-2, General Business, and C-3,
General Shopping.
13.18
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 8, 1998 PAGE 2
Mr. Hickok stated Drs. Crandall, Flake and Holmberg are requesting a variance to afiow
the reconstruction of their existing first floor parking garage as a surgical suite. The
request represents a 27% reduction in the number of parking stalls required on the site.
Originally, there were 21 parking stalls in the lower level of this building which has been
reduced to 15. This request would reduce the interior parking stalls to 3. The building
has a total of 25,656 square feet. The interior spaces consisf of a mix of clinic and office
spaces.
Mr. Hickok stated three different code sections could be used in this zoning district
depending on the use. The first is the general code section which is the typical C-2 ratio
of 1 parking space for every 150 square feet (1:150) of building area. If the building is
primarily office area, the ratio is 1:250. There is also a speculative ratio in the code that is
designed for multi-purpose, multi-tenant buildings where there may be some shared
space, internal hallways, etc. That ratio is 1:200 square feet. Staff is suggesting that,
because this building is a mix of uses and considerable area within the building is
dedicated to common areas, the building is a perfect candidate for the speculative ratio.
Mr. Hickok stated the agenda packet contained information showing a breakdown of the
interior spaces to determine how the building is used. It is almost a 50/50 split between
office and clinic space, so there again the speculative ratio seems most appropriate.
Mr. Hickok stated the doctors have stated the leasable space within the building has a
total area of 19,400 square feet. Applying the speculative ratio, 99 parking spaces would
be required. Currently, there are 69 outdoor parking spaces and 3 interior parking spaces
that would be striped and available after the new construction. With the 72 spaces on
site, it would still represent a 27% reduction in the parking stalls required for the site.
Mr. Hickok stated the doctors have submitted a hardship statement indicating the practice
would be interested in building a small operating room suite in the building with office
space for out-patient surgical services. They request that the parking be based on
le,asable square footage rather than gross square foot measurements. The building is
landlocked between University Avenue, the University Avenue Service Road, and 83rd
Avenue.
Mr. Hickok stated Northwestem Orthopaedic Surgeons Partnership has entered into an
agreement with the Moose Club to provide 27 additional parking stalls for their
employees. Though these stalls are not on site, they do provide a combined total
equivalent to what is required. In 1989, the City approved a variance to the property at
250 Osbome Road which represented a 13% reduction in the number of required parking
spaces. This �equest consists of a 27% reduction.
Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends denial of variance request, VAR #98-06, due to the
belief that this variance will cause present and future owners parking deficiencies and,
even with the reciprocal parking agreement, would set a precedence. If the Commission
chooses to recommend approval of the request, staff suggests the following stipulations:
1. The area dedicated to employee parking at the Moose Lodge be identified on a
plan for the staff members of both the Moose and Clinic employees.
13.19
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 8, 1998 PAGE 3
2. The crosswaik for employees be painted on the street surface of University .
Avenue Service Drive in accordance with standards of the Fridley Public Works
Department.
3. Installation of a walkway between the Moose and Orthopaedic parking areas
(leading to the painted crosswalk on the service drive) shall occur prior to the
issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the new surgical space.
4. For any future modification of use, the City shall be notified by the building-owners -
to re-evaluate the parking demands of that new use prior to commencement of
sale or lead.
Mr. Jones asked what the future requirement is of any sale or lease. Does this mean that
before they would offer the building or space for sale or lease, they would have to come
back to the City? Who would they come back to?
Mr. Hickok stated they would be required to come back to staff to evaluate whether or not
that causes additional impacts for parking. Typically in a building such as this, there may
be space available and, other than getting a building permit, there is not a notification to
the City that a use has changed within the building as long as it falls within the C-2 use.
In this situation, if the building filled with another use requinng a 1:150 ratio, then 128
parking stalls would be required. The stipulation is saying the City does not want that to
happen without recognizing it.
Mr. Jones asked how the City manages that.
Mr. Hickok stated the stipulations are filed with the property at the County. It is important
to put it into the record so the current owners understand that and can convey that
message to future tenants and/or owners of the building. .
Ms. Beaulieu asked if the Unity Professional Building had a reciprocal parking agreement
with anyone.
Mr. Hickok stated they had their own parking. It was a case where Unity Hospital has a
reciprocal agreement w�th the Fridley Medical Center, but this clinic has its own parking.
It appears that the combination of Unity with its own parking demands and the clinic with �t
demands needed to ask for a reduction.
Dr. Crandall stated this does represent a special request. They have been tenants there
for about 10 years and they know how the parking works. As specialists, they probably
do not see the volume of patients that primary care doctors would see. Their budding has
only orthopedic specialists. It is a busy orthopedic group, and they have not had any
complaints on their current parking. They would not expect any complaints or problems
with this arrangement. They would make every attempt to make their employees and
others park at the far comers so that patients can park near the building. Their lot is no
more than 30% to 50% full. They feel this is workable and not an undue burden to the
citizens of the community or to the population around.
Ms. Beaulieu asked how many employees they have.
Dr. Crandall stated there are eight orthopedic surgeons in three offices - Coon Rapids�
13.20
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 8, 1998 PAGE 4
Shoreview, and Fridley. They have a total of 42 full and part-time employees. Most do
not work at any one spot but rather rotate locations. Most of the empioyees are at the
Fridley site.
Ms. Beaulieu asked if these employees would be asked to park in the 27 spaces at the
Moose Lodge.
Dr. Crandall stated these spaces would be used for employees. The Moose Lodge does
not open until 3 p.m. Their business is in the moming and early aftemoon. The north
comer of their lot is for employees. �-
Ms. Beaulieu asked the petitioner if he had any problems with the stipulations.
Dr. Crandall stated he thought they could work with them. He was not sure what the
walkway entails or what they should do, but they will work with staff to do whatever they
can.
Mr. Hickok stated, as staff sees it, it is critical that if employees are parking across the
street that they cross at a point that is very clear. This would identify the crosswalk area
and identifies a link between the parking lots.
Dr. Vos asked if there was any change in the law about walkways and traffic. Is this a
case where the pedestrian has the right-of-way?
Mr. Hickok stated this is designed to mimic an intersection so you have a sense of
security and some protection provided by the stripes. If a pedestrian stepped off the curb,
the cars would have to stop.
Mr. Jones asked if there would be signs that this is a pedestrian crossing.
Mr. Hickok stated, no. This would be striped according to specifications. He did not know
if a sign was part of the criteria. There is special striping that makes a standard
crosswalk.
Dr. Vos asked that after the surgical addition, will there be more traffic than what there is
now?
Dr. Crandall stated they would have the same population base of patients; however, they
would be anticipating hiring three additional employees and would anticipate some
increase in traffic. They feel they can handle that and do not anticipate doing enough to
make parking a problem. The plan they submitted shows two operating suites. They
plan to use one and altemate back and forth.
Ms. Mau asked, referring to the parking agreement, if there was a way to designate
'where employees would be parking. There are two driveways right across from each
other. She felt most people would park at the driveway so they would not have to walk as
far. Should there be a designation as to where the employees would park in the Moose
Lodge parking lot?
13.21 -
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, APRIL 8, 1998 PAGE 5
Dr. Crandali stated they wouid do whatever the City wants. They have not spoken with
the Moose Lodge as to specifically where they want employees to park but, if the City
wants staff to park at the northem side, they can arrange it.
Mr. Jones asked what wouid happen in the event the Moose Lodge is sold.
Dr. Crandaii stated they would try to petition with that owner for the same recompense for
parking.
Mr. Jones asked if that wouid come ba�k to the City.
Mr. Hickok stated staff would ask that the agreement be filed at the County so that any
future owner would understand that there is a reciprocal parking agreement and would
have to consider that with their parking demands on that site.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Mau, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON BEAULIEU
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:50
P.M. -
Dr. Vos stated the petitioners have a predicament, because they are in the southwest
comer on a loopback parcel. There is no land they can use. They went undemeath the
building to build their addition, and lost parking because that was under the building. He
thought one of the hardships is the configuration of the land. Using the 1:250 ratio, they
would then need 71 parking spaces and then they would just make it. He would vote in
favor with the stipulations recorded with the Moose Lodge and Orthopaedic Surgeons
properties.
Ms. Mau stated she had a problem with the parking. She understands the hardship, but
she would like to make sure that the parking is in the north part of the Moose parking lot.
Her fear is that employees would walk across at the driveways. That is on a curve which
would make it rather dangerous.
Mr. Jones stated that is also his biggest concem. He agreed that if the employee parking
is not a designated area, they could park on the south side of the Moose Lodge and cross
the street at the curve. That is a busy street and traffics moves fast along there.
Ms. Beaulieu agreed. Even going with a 27% reduction, the reciprocal parking makes up
for it. Although they are setting a precedent, it is not quite as bad as without an
agreement.
TI by Dr. Vos, seconded by Mr. Jones, to recommend to the City Council approval
of variance request, VAR #98-06, to reduce the number of parking stalls as requir"ed by
City Code to allow an expansion within the existing building footpnnt on Lot 1, Block 1,
Caba Realty First Addition, generally located at 8290 University Avenue �N.E., with the
following stipulations:
The area dedicated to employee parking at the Moose Lodge be identified on the
northerly portion on a plan for the staff members of both the Moose and Clinic
employees. ___ _ _

RE: 1998 PLAYGROUND EOUIPMENT BIDS
On Wednesday, March 25`� at 10:00 a.m. the bids were opened for the 1998 playground equipment projects. There
were iive companies submitting proposals for the five playground sites being upgraded this year.
On Monday, March 30`� through Wednesday, Apri12"d, all of the playground equipment proposals were on display
in Meeting Room 2 of the Municipal Center. Neighborhood residents were invited to review the proposals, make
comments, and provide input on the selection of the projects. Thirty-one people reviewed the equipment during
this time.
On Monday, Apri16`�, the Parks & Recreation Commission reviewed the equipment proposals and concurred with
the staff recommendation to awazd all five park projects to Flanagan Sales with the Little Tykes line of equipment.
It is our opinion that Flanagan Sales offered the City of Fridley the best package of playground equipment for our
money. Play equipment evaluations are based on a number of factors including equipment quality, safety
considerations, aesthetic appeal, the play experience provided, and installation experience. We have used this
company in the past two years at several playground locations and are very satis�ed with their final product. In
addition to having the best equipment proposal, Flanagan Sales was also the only equipment vendor to offer the
City a cash discount for being awarded all five playground site installations.
I am recommending that the City Council receive the bids on the playground equipment projects and award the
contracts toFlanagan Sales for the projects listed below.
Project Location Amount
310a. Briazdale Park $32,000
310b. Edgewater Gardens Pazk $32,000
310c. Plymouth Square Park $32,000
310d. Ruth Circle Pazk $32,000
310e. Sylvan Park $32,000
If you have any questions on these projects, or need additional inforniation, please let me know.
