establishing a public purpose in approving the bond issue, their actions do not establish a
financial liability for the City. The owners of the development bear full responsibility for
bond repayment. The Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA), however,
has agreed to make up to $683,000 in tax increment financing available for land
acquisition and site improvements. A public hearing for this project was held July 14,1997

(WARD 2):
MOTION by Councilmember Schneider to open the public hearing at 7:49 p.m. Seconded by
Councilmember Billings. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor 7orgenson declared the
motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was officially opened at 7:49 p.m.
Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, explained that Maple Lanes is being purchased by AMF who
requested that a liquor license be issued to them. The Police Department performed the required
investigation on ANIF Maple Lanes. Public Safety Director Sallman did not find any reason to
deny this request. The sale of the property is scheduled to occur June 9, 1998, and approval of
the license would only occur if the sale goes through and transfer of title occurs.
David Langer, Center Manager for AMF Maple Lanes, was present to answer any questions in
regard to this liquor license application. Councilmember Billings asked if AMF was aware of the
food to liquor ratio requirement (60/40) and that any managers of the operation would need to be
licensed by the City of Fridley and go through the necessary police checks. Mr. Langer responded
in the affirmative. Councilmember Billings informed Mr. Langer that police decoys are sent out
periodically to various liquor establishments to verify that liquor is not being sold to underage
patrons.
Councilmember Billings noted that Mr. Pribyl anticipated a June 9 closing on the property.
Approval of the license would be considered at the June 22 Council meeting. If ownership
changes June 9, 1998, they would not be licensed to sell liquor until their license is approved on
June 22.
Mr. Langer stated•that it s his understanding that the ciosing will not occur until later in June.
Councilmember Bolkcom felt that a letter should be sent to AMF to confirm that no liquor sales
will occur prior to the issuance of a liquor license. Mr. Priby( noted that staff has been in contact
CiTY COUNCTL MEETING OF JUNE 8, 1998 PAGE 7
with AMF and will contact them both via telephone and letter in regard to this matter. Staff will
also keep themselves up to date as to change of ownership on the property.
There were no further questions from the public.
MOTION by Councilmember Schneider to close the public hearing at 8:00 p.m. Seconded by
Councilmember Billings. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the
motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was closed at 8:00 p.m.
11. APPROVAL OF ON-SALE BEER LiCENSE FOR COLUMBTA ARENA (701 t
UNIVERSiTY AVENUE N.E. (WARD 1):
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to open the public hearing at 8:01 p.m. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the
motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was officially opened at 8:01 p.m.
Mr. Pribyl explained that the ownership of Columbia Arena has changed from the County to the
State of Minnesota through the National Sports Center Foundation. The foundation is requesting
issuance of an on-sale beer license. The Police Department has performed the required
background investigation and has found no reason to deny this rec�uest. Should Council approve
this request at their June 22, meeting, staff would ask that a stipulation be attached to state that
beer sales will only occur during the Twin City Vulcans' Junior A hockey games. Paul Erickson,
Executive Director of Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission, Jim Johannson, General Manager
of the Twin City Vulcans, and Peter Carlson and Tim Dunn of the Columbia Arena staff were
present to address questions or concerns.
Mr. Erickson explained that they recently completed approximately $100,000 in improvements to
the arena. An amount equal to that is expected to be invested into the building again this year.
The Twin City Vulcans is a Junior A hockey team for adult men who are pursuing a career in
hockey. It is the highest level of hockey in the state between high school and the Minnesota
Gophers. If the license is granted, the beer would be sold from cans but disbursed into cups at the
time of sale.
Councilmember Barnette asked how many games are played in the season.
Mr. Johannson responded that there are approximately 28 home games which are played on
Fridays, Saturdays or Sundays. There is a wide variety of spectators, ranging from families with
children to senior citizens.
Councilmember Botkcom asked what wou(d prevent patrons from bringing beer into the arenas.
Mr. Johannson stated that they would provide security and tickets would be required for the
Vulcan games. Additionally, the beer could be sold in one designated area.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she feels it would be appropriate to limit the sales area
especially if the game is an event that families participate in.
CiTY COUNCTL MEETTNG OF JUNE 8, 1998 PAGE S
Councilmember asked if Fridley was being considered a temporary home for the Vulcans until the
four sheets of ice are constructed in Blaine. Mr. Johannson stated that they (ook at this as their
permanent home. They recently signed a five-year lease agreement with renewal options.
Mr. Tom Rafferty, 148 Horizon Circle, stated his opposition to this request. He did not feel it
would be necessary to provide beer at every sporting event. Furthermore, he wondered if
Woodcrest Baptist Church and School adjacent to the arena had been informed of this request.
Mr. Pribyl explained that the publication for the public hearing was advertised in Focus News.
There were no questions or comments from the public.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to close the public hearing at 8:14 p.m. Seconded by
Councilmember Billings. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all members voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson
declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was closed at 8:14 p.m.
NEW BUSTNESS:
12. 57TH AVENUE STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. ST. 1997-4:
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing at 8:15 p.m. Seconded by
Councilmember Schneider. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all members voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson
declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was opened at 8:15 p.m.
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, provided a map of the construction area, noting
that the City has spent considerable time analyzing 57th Avenue and determining the
improvements which are necessary to make it function properly. The City determined that if the
road were to be improved with new curb and gutter, new storm sewer and new utilities, the time
would also be appropriate to look at any other enhancements that would be desirable for the area
to make it more appealing as a commercial corridor. As a result, a streetscaping plan was
devised, including hedges, fences, plantings, street trees, street lighting, etc. To get input from
some of the affected property owners, a meeting was held March 3. A majority of the property
owners seemed enthusiastic about the proposed improvements, but there remain three properties
with pending easements. Mr. Hickok provided diagrams showing the newly proposed roadway
with turn lanes as well as the elimination of access drives.
Mr. Hickok noted that he received a letter from both Mr. and Mrs. Rust, and from their attorney
regarding this issue. Mr. and Mrs. Rust are the property owners of the apartment units on 57th
Avenue. They do not believe that the improvements will enhance their property or add to their
property value.
Mr. Flora, Director of Public Works, explained that based upon the bids that the City received on
the recommended improvements, the assessments would amount to $101.31 per lineal foot for
property owners on 57th Avenue. Forest Lake Contracting was the low bidder on this project
and staff recommended that Council receive their bid and consider it for implementation.
CiTY COUNCfL MEETiNG OF JUNE 8. 1998 PAGE 9
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to receive the letter from David and Norma Rust, dated
June 8, 1998 and the letter from Attorney Lawrence P. Marofsky, dated May 28, 1998.
Seconded by Councilmember Schneider.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEMBERS VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked for a clarification of an easement and a construction easement.
She asked if the apartment building owned by Mr. and Mrs. Rust would lose all of the parking
during the construction period, as is claimed in their letter to the City. Mr. Flora explained the
two easements and responded that there would be some impaet as a part of the construction.
However, it will not have a major impact on the parking for the property.
Counci(member Bolkcom asked if Mr. and Mrs. Rust would lose one parking space for their
rental property after construction has been completed. Mr. Hickok stated that he does not believe
the parking space v�ill be sacrificed as part of the construction. It was noted that the property is
not a conforming property at this time, that the lots are rather shallow, and the overall size of the
lots do not conform with the code.
Mr. James Selmer and Mr. Mark Berg were present on behalf of Hardee's Restaurant to address
the concerns expressed by members of the Hardee's headquarters office in North Carolina.
Mr. Selmer stated that the May 27 letter which was sent out to the affected properties on 57th
Avenue was the first notification his client received which indicated that the plan for the project
was proceeding. He noted that Hardee's is not in favor of the project, and they are not interested
in signing off on the easement. They felt the improvements would have a negative impact on their
business, and they asked that Council postpone consideration of this project until Hardee's has had
an opportunity to deai with the issues of concern.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok if all of the property owners were notified in March
of the informational meeting on the proposed project. Mr. Hickok responded that all property
owners were notified of this meeting loca(ly.
Mr. Selmer stated it is his understanding that very little information was released at the March
meeting. He believed that the store manager contacted a representative at the Hardee's
headquarters to notify them about this issue. At that time, Sarah Thomas of the Hardee's
headquarters in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, asked for an understanding as to the project. Mr.
Hickok responded with a letter, dated May 15, 1998, which explained the design, costs and the
proposed construction schedule of the project. The next communication from the City was dated
May 27 and informed them of the public hearing scheduled for June 8.
Mr. Selmer stated that his client was not given adequate notice in order to resolve the issues
concerning the proposed improvements. The construction will have a tremendous impact on
Hardee's. They will lose one of their access drives, and the changes that are proposed will
obscure Hardee's vision further. Additionally, there will be costs involved in moving their sign to
a new location,and they will lose ten of their angled parking spaces along 57th Avenue.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE S, 1998 PAGE 10
The Councilmembers had several questions regarding claims that Hardee's did not receive
adequate notice of the proposed project. Mr. Billings asked how property owners were notified
of the meeting in March. Mr. Hickok explained that a letter had been sent to each of the local
companies via U.S. Mail. He further stated that he had a series of local telephone conversations,
and he personally met with Hardee's with regard to the project in late April or early May.
Mr. Scott Getts was present at that meeting. In early May Mr. Hickok had a telephone
conversation with Ms. Thomas from North Carolina. Sometime thereafter Mr. Getts himself
contacted the North Carolina Hardee's Headquarters.
Mayor Jorgenson asked what the City's procedure is to notifying property owners of a public
hearing. Mr. Hickok noted that local meetings are publicized locally.
A discussion followed regarding the loss of the eight parking stalls facing 57th Avenue on the
Hardee's property. Mr. Hickok noted that it was his feeling that eliminating these spaces would
provide better circulation of traffic in the lot. It should be noted that Hardee's presently has nine
more parking spaces than what is required by City Code. Mr. Hickok noted that the relocation of
the Hardee's sign would not be the responsibility of the property owner.
Ms. Norma Rust, property owner of the apartment building on 57th Avenue, stated that she often
does not receive Focus News, and; therefore, may not always be aware of ineetings. She is a
property owner, but she does not live in the Hyde Park neighborhood. Therefore, she does not
receive the Hyde Park Newsletter. Ms. Rust acknowledged that there has been a traffic flow
problem on 57th Avenue. However, she felt that much of the work being done would create an
ambiance. She, as a property owner, does not want to be responsible for the $101.31 per lineal
foot assessment if the purpose of the lighting would create an ambiance. The improvements along
57th Avenue would have a negative impact on her property, as she would lose the boulevard area
that is used during the winter for snow storage, salt and chemicals from 57th Avenue.
Mr. Hickok noted that he discussed this issue with the traffic consultants; however, it was felt
there was adequate space surrounding the lot for storage of snow.
Councilmember Bolkcom noted that this project was originally discussed when The Home Depot
constructed their new facility in Fridley. The improvements would help with traffic flow problems
and safety issues.
A discussion followed regarding the owners of record for the apartment building property.
Mr. Hickok noted that assessment records list Irving and Efron I. S. Hermann as the owners, with
the taxpayers being listed as David and Norma Rust. Mrs. Rust indicated that the rental license
lists them as the property owners, which is accurate. Mr. Hickok suggested that Mr. and Mrs.
Rust contact the Assessing Division and the County of Anoka to update the records.
Mr. Flora explained that if the construction easement was an issue of concern to Mr. and Mrs.
Rust, it could be eliminated. However, as soon as construction is completed, the easement will be
vacated.
CITY COUNCIL MEETiNG OF JUNE 8, 1998 _ PAGE 11
Mr. Rust voiced a number of issues which were of concern including tree maintenance,
maintenance of the light fixtures, drainage problems, and whose responsibility it would be to pay
for the electricity for the lighting. Mr. Hickok explained that maintenance of the trees and shrubs
would be the responsibility of the property owners, as well as the electricity for the lighting
fixtures.
Steve Linn, owner of property at 251 - 57th Avenue N.E., stated that he supports this project.
He said the City has had a number of public hearings/informational meetings with regard to the
project. The uniform streetscaping would improve the visibility of Hardee's as well as other
businesses on 57th Avenue. The lighting would increase the safety of the residents. He noted
that he has tentatively secured a tenant for a portion of his property; however, it is contingent
upon the street improvements proceeding.
Mr. Tom Rafferty, 148 Horizon Circle, stated that he felt the improvements would be good for
the area.
There were no further comments or questions in regard to this issue.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing at 10:00 p.m. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all members voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson
declared the motion carried unanimously and the public hearing was closed at 10:00 p.m.
13. SPECiAL USE PERMIT, SP #98-04, BY W. W. KLUS REALTY, INC. TO
ALLOW THE USE OF 30 PARKING STALLS AS PLACES FOR THE SALE OF
VEAiCLES GENERALLY LOCATED AT 7920 AND_ 7976 UNIVERSITY
AVENUE N.E. (WARD 3) (Tabled Mav 18, 1998):
Mr. Hickok provided a brief history of this special use permit request and an update as to what
has transpired since the May 18 Council meeting. He noted that at the May 18 meeting, Mr. Klus
requested additional time to evaluate different options and to meet with staff. Staff met with Mr.
Klus' attorney, and Mr. Klus presented a revised site plan showing additional stalls in front of the
Express Auto office. Staff recommendations remain the same; however, two options were
presented for consideration: 1) to approve a short-term special use permit until November 30,
1998, with the stipulations outlined in staffs May 29, 1998 letter to Mr. Klus; or 2) to deny the
special use permit as recommended to the City Council on May 18, 1998. A copy of the revised
site plan was presented for review.
Mr. Hickok noted that the petitioner ori;inally asked for a three-year agreement with the City. A
two-year agreement term would require them to enter into a new lease agreement and may be
looked upon by others as an appropriate location for multi-tenants and steer them in the wrong
direction. A short-term agreement would allow them to get through their current lease.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there could be stipulations in the agreement as to the number of
vehicles which could be stored there, in the event that Council agreed to a short-term agreement.
CTTY COUNCiL MEETiNG OF JUNE 8, 1998 PAGE 12
Mr. Hickok explained that there are 26 parking stalls along Ranchers Road on the west end of the
site. Staff has stipulated that if Express Auto were to continue for the short-term period, staff
would recommend that the 26 stalls along Ranchers Road be utilized.
Mr. Klus stated that his concern is the security of the vehicles if they were required to be parked
in the recommended stalls along Rancher's Road. He stated he believes that Express Auto has
addressed the parking and safety issues which were discussed at the May 18 Council meeting.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that staff has always clearly indicated that there was to be no
outside storage of automobiles on the site.
Mr. Klus explained that the vehictes are not identified as vehicles for sale. They are not to be
stored on the property, but rather they are parked there. Councilmember Bolkcom explained that
the vehicles are indeed being stored on the property which is in violation of City Code.
Mr. Bill Richards, owner/operator of Express Auto Sales and Leasing stated that he appreciated
the efforts that have been made on behalf of the City to allow him to operate through the end of
his current lease term. However, it took him one year to find his current location and an
additional 120 days to negotiate the lease, etc. Since that time the business has changed, and he is
concerned that he may experience additional difficulties in finding a new location for the business
in its current operation. He asked Council to consider a 17-month agreement to allow him to
relocate. He stated that the parking option addressed by staff along Ranchers Road would require
monitoring fo'r security purposes, and he does not see this location as a viable option.
Mr. Gregory Soule, Best & Flanagan, was present and again stated that he felt the concerns
addressed by Council had been satisfied.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she did not want to give the impression that the City was being
heavy handed with this business owner. The number of vehicles �or this business has grown from
a minimum of five vehicles to thirty vehicles. She stated she had difficulty with the way the entire
process has evolved. The City has been actively working with Express Auto since 1994 to
resolve some of these issues.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that in October 1997, staff made it very clear that the business in
its current operation was not an allowable use without a special use permit. It took them a long
time to respond to the City.'s requests. Realizing that this site was not a suitable location, it would
have been wise for Mr. Richards to be actively seeking a new location.
Mr. Richards stated that he was aware of the circumstances and was merely asking Council to
allow him reasonable time to exit his current site and to find a new location while keeping his
business alive.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve a short-term special use permit until
November 30, 1998 with the stipulations outlined in staffs May 29, 1998 letter to Mr. Klus and
AMENDED as follows: Pa�e 2, Item 4 should be changed to read "The special use permit will
CITY COUNCTL MEETING OF JUNE 8, 1998 PAGE 13
allow for the storage and display of 10 vehicles." Item 5 is to be deleted and all other language
will remain. Seconded by Councilmember Schneider.

NEW BUSiNESS:
14. RECEIVE BTDS AND AWARD CONTACT FOR TAE 57TH AVENUE
RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT NO. ST. 1997-4:
Mr. Flora explained that bids were opened for the 57th Avenue reconstruction project on April
30, 1998 with Forest Lake Contracting identified as the low bidder in the amount of $886,687.92.
Anoka County Highway Department approves the award of the contract based upon the fact that
the City will provide them with $100,000 toward the project and that the City shares the
construction cost over the county's budgeted $300,000. Staff recommends that Council receive
the bids and award the contract for the project to Forest Lake Contracting, Inc. in the amount of
$886,687.92.
MOTION by Counci(member Bolkcom to receive the bids and to approve the award of the

15. VARTANCE REOUEST, VAR #98-13, BY NORTRCO CORPORATION TO
REDUCE THE SiDE YARD SETBACK FROM 20 FEET TO 5.4 FEET TO
ALLOW THE ENCLOSURE OF AN EXTSTING LOADiNG DOCK AT THE
PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT 494 NORTHCO DRIVE N.E.
�VARD 1):
Mr. Hickok provided Council with a brief summary of the request. He explained that approval of
this request would allow Northco Corporation to keep an existing enclosed loading dock. The
loading dock was enclosed last summer. The building permit was granted, accompanied by a site
plan which portrayed the property line before the last subdivision. Therefore, the assumed side
yard setback was over 200 feet from the lot line rather than the actual 25 feet. The zoning
regulations rec�uired a structure to be a minimum of 20 feet from the property line. However, the
Uniform Building Code requires 60 feet between an unlimited area building and a property line.
This building would therefore not be allowed per current standards. A 60 foot clear area exists
between the property and the Target property. The interpretation of the Uniform Building Code
setback is unclear, and the State of Minnesota has left it up to the interpretation of the local
community. Currently, the existing building is 25 feet form the east property line, and the loading
dock is only 5.4 feet from the east property line.
CITY COUNCIL NiEETiNG OF JUNE 8. 1998 PAGE 14
Staff recommended to the Appeals Commissions denial of this request as a hardship to grant the
variance is not evident, it is self-imposed. Several options were outlined for the Appeals
Commission. The Commission recommended approval of the variance contingent upon meeting
the State Building Code and the Uniform Building Code. It remains stai�s recommendation to
Council that this rec�uest be denied.
Mr. Larry Berg, representing Mr. James Gray was present to address questions. Mr. Gray
contends that Dayton-Hudson was assured that a 60-foot total separation between buildings was
all that would be required. He referred to a letter, dated May 20, 1994 from Ms. Dacy to the
Fridiey Business Center Partnership, i.e. Item 4, pertaining to this issue. Several conversations
occurred between Scott McClellan from the State of Minnesota and Ms. Dacy with tlie result that
it would be left up to the local building official. Both interpretations of the code are essentially
correct. City staff, however is taking a consistently conservative approach.

iNCREASE TN THE MAXIMUM SiZE OF WALL SIGNAGE AT THE
PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5351 CENTRAL AVENUE N.E.
�WARD 1):
Mr. Hickok explained that Steven Barrett, of Menard's, Inc. is requesting a variance to allow
199.5 additional square feet of signage on their building at 5351 Central Avenue N.E. Though
numerous pylon sign requests have been approved, no similar wall sign size requests have been
approved. The Appeals Commission recommended denial of the variance request, and staff
recommends that Council concur with the Appeals Commission decision.
Mr. Steve Barrett, of Menard's, Inc. was present to discuss this request. He explained that they
are asking for an additional 19 square feet of signage than what they have now.

THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:36 P.M.
Mr. Tatting stated that Mr. Patrick Elwell is requesting a special use permit to allow the
construction of a second accessory building on this propetty. The proposed building is a
garage which will be 14 feet wide by 24 feet deep. The front of the proposed garage will
be brick and stucco to match the existing house. The sides and rear of the proposed
garage will be masonite and match the color of the house and the character of the
neighbofiood match the architectural style of the existing structure.
Mr. Tatting stated the property is zoned R-1, Single Family Dwelling, as are all the
surrounding properties. Locke Lake borders the property at the southwest property line.
1.01
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING. JUNE 3,1998 PAGE 2
Mr. Tatting stated the property was platted in 1959. The house and attached garage
were constructed in 1962. A deck addition was constructed to the rear of the house in
1989.
Mr. Tatting stated the zoning code requires a special use permit for accessory buildings
over 240 square feet. The garage as proposed meets all setback requirements. The
proposed accessory structure is 336 square feet in area. The existing driveway is nearly
adjacent to where Rice Creek Boulevard "Ts", and the petitioner plans to use the existing
driveway from Rice Creek Boulevard for the new garage.
Mr. Tatting stated the existing house and garage are approximately 2,100 square feet.
The existing house and garage and proposed garage total 2,436 square feet for a lot
coverage of 16.5%. This is under the maximum permitted lot coverage of 25%.
Mr. Tatting stated the proposed garage will be about 10 feet from the existing house so
the north side of the garage would not be seen by adjacent neighbors. There are a
number of pine trees on the south side so the garage would be screened and visibility
from adjacent neighbors would be limited.
Mr. Tatting stated staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following
stipulations:
A second driveway/curb cut shall not be created at the property.
2. The second accessory building shall be one-story, 14 feet wide by 24 feet
deep, and shall meet the standards of the Fridley Zoning ordinance and the
Uniform Building Code.
Mr. Tatting stated that per Minnesota Statute 15.99 adopted by the Minnesota
Legislature in 1995, the City of Fridley must act on all land use applications within 60
days. This item was originally scheduled for the May 20, 1998, Planning Commission
meeting which was canceled. This item will now go to Council on June 22, which is
beyond the 60 day date of June 16. He stated the City, with the consent of the
petitioner, can extend the 60-day review period an additional 60 days. They will heed
this extension before they can proceed with this item.
Mr. Pat Elwell stated he purchased the home about one year ago. He has a boat,
company car, two family cars, a utility trailer, etc., and he has a need for more storage
space. He stated he does not want to do anything that will not enhance the property. He
is very conscious of his neighbors and wants to be a good neighbor. He stated he does
not have any problem with the stipulations proposed by staff.
Ms. Savage asked Mr. Elwell if he had received any objections from his neighbors.
Mr. Elwell stated no one has objected to the proposed garage. He has talked to the
1.02
p� ANNING COMMISSION MEETING JUNE 3 1998 PAGE 3
neighbors most closely affected, and they stated they had no problem with the garage or
the location.
Mr. Tatting stated staff has received no objections.
Mr. Kondrick stated that in the past, he believed the Planning Commission had added a
stipulation on special use permits for second accessory structures to ensure that the
accessory structure would not be used for a home business.
Ms. Modig agreed. She stated she is not concemed with that happening with the current
owner, but they need some protection that will prohibit a future ovirner from using the
garage for, for example, a tool shop business or car repair business.
Mr. Oquist stated he also agreed. He stated there were concems in the past that
someone could operate a repair garage out of a second accessory building.
Mr. Elwell stated he would have no problem with an additional stipulation.

DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
Mr. Patrick Elwell is requesting a special use permit to allow the construction of a second
accessory building on his property. The proposed garage is 14 feet wide by 24 feet deep, an
area of 336 square feet. The building will have eight foot walls with a 4/12 pitch roof. The
proposed garage will use the same access point to Rice Creek Boulevard as the attached
garage. The property is located at 236 Rice Creek boulevard NE.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
Section 205.07.O1.C.(1) requires a special use permit for accessory buildings over 240 square
feet, other than the first accessory building. The proposed second accessory structure is 336
square feet in area. As Mr. Elwell describes his situation, "I have a company car (3 cars total),
a boat and trailer, utility trailer, and I need to get things off the street".
Mr. Elwell's property is located on the west side of Rice Creek Blvd, adjacent to where the
road "T's." The driveway to the existing attached garage is nearly adjacent to the "T." The
petitioner's site plan indicates that the proposed garage will utilize the existing driveway; a
second driveway/ curb-cut should not be created at this parcel.
There is sufficient area to place the proposed garage in order to meet all setback
requirements. A variance for the proposed garage would not be necessary.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Planning Commission recommend approval of the special use permit with the
following stipulations:
1. A second driveway/curb-cut shall not be created at the property.
2. The second accessory building shall be one story, 14 feet wide by 24 feet deep and
meet the standards of the Fridley Zoning Ordinance and the Uniform Building
Code.
3. The accessory building shall not be utilized for a home occupation
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Planning Commission.

FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director

Pat Wolfe, Section 8, Housing Coordinator
SUBJECT: Resolution Approving Grant to Elim and Authorizing Execution of a
Grant Agreement
INTRODUCTION
On June 3, staff prepared an information memo for the City Council regarding a
special housing program, designed by Pat Wolfe. The purpose of this memo is to
briefly review the program elements and recommend approval of the attached
resolution.
PROGRAM ELEMENTS
• The City will provide a$5,000 grant to Elim Transitional Housing, Inc.
• With this money, Elim Transitional Housing, Inc. will administer small
loans to eligible Section 8 certificate or voucher holding clients.
• Low -income clients will use the Elim loan to enable them to clear an
unlawful detainer from their record, thereby allowing them to qualify for
comfortable housing.
• Elim Transitional Housing, Inc. will provide quarterly financial reports to
the City of Fridley.
• Elim Transitional Housing, Inc. will provide a yearly update regarding
workability of the loan program for clients of Elim.
• The City will review the financial statements submitted by Elim
_ Transitional Housing to assure compliance with requirements.
• The City would review status of program and work with Elim if
refinements to the program are needed.
• All clients interested in an Elim loan through this program will be
screened for eligibility. Eligibility standards have been set and are
attached for your convenience (June 3, staff memo).

William W. Burns
June 16, 1998
PAGE 2
By including the eligibility requirement that the loan recipient be on the Section 8
waiting list or currently on the section 8 program, we are anticipating this will
reduce the risk of future unlawful detainers for unpaid rent. The family will then be
paying 30% of their income for rent as opposed to the entire rent.
These grant dollars will be paid back to Elim, by the clients, on an affordable
installment schedule. This repayment will allow Elim to recapture funds and to
have a revolving loan program, specifically for these situations. The proposed
program is funded entirely from Section 8 funds and will not affect the City's
general fund.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of the program and the attached resolution.

The attached Change Order No. 3 covers excess common excavarion and granulaz borrow needed to correct
poor soils encountered during construction.
In addition, the amount of driveway removal and replacement was under estimated. Numerous driveways
are at steep grades requiring the driveways to be cut back further than normal and realigned vertically to
create a smooth �ransition onto the new street. Also, there aze a significant number of concrete driveways
where whole panels had to be removed rather than cutting back to the minimum necessary as can be done

DESCRIPTION OF REQUEST:
On the behalf of Orthopaedic Partners, P.A., Robin Crandall, M.D. of Northwestern
Orthopaedic Surgeons Partnership is requesting variances to allow the construction of a
parking deck at 8290 University Avenue NE.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The petitioner has indicated a desire to reconstruct the first floor parking garage into a
surgical suite. The new suite will require additional parking spaces and will eliminate
existing parking. The additional parking created by the pazking deck will enable the
petitioner to meet the new parking space requirements, but the parking deck will require a
number of variances.
The parking deck will require the following variances:
1) Increase the maximum allowable lot coverage by a three story building from 30°� to 40.2%.
2) Reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 15 feet.
3) Reduce the east side yard setbacks from 35 feet to 15 feet.
4) Reduce the west side yard setback from 35 feet to 0 feet for the raznp to the deck.
5) Reduce the driveway width to 22 feet on the deck and 24 on the ramp.
6) Reduce the size of the parking stalls from a ten foot width to a 9.5 foot width.
ANALYSIS
The petitioner is proposing a unique approach to handling the parking issue at the site. Due
to the shape of the lot and the fact that the lot is surrounded by rights-of-way, it is difficult
to meet the setback requirements of the lot. Retrofitting a parking deck in this manner
makes this project new to the city and difficult for staff, because the Code is not specific to
parking decks. We would recommend approving the variances with the five stipulations.
APPEALS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Planning Commission recommends approving the variances with 5 stipulations (see body
of report).
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Appeals Commission.

3) Reduce the east and west side yard setbacks from 35 feet to 15 feet.
4) Reduce the west side yard setback from 35 feet to 0 feet for the ramp to the deck.
5) Reduce the driveway width to 22 feet on the deck and 24 on the ramp.
6) Reduce the size of the parking stalls from a ten foot width to a 9.5 foot width.
HARDSHIP STATEMENT
Our practice is interested in bicilding an office based out-patient surgery center. This would require
replacing several of the parking spaces which are currently housed within our building. Based on
the square footage of our bicilding, the City has indicated that 27 additional parking spaces would be
required on our propert��. Having explored various options, we feel that a parking deck is our only
alternative.
SITE DESCRIPTION/HISTORY
In 1980, the property in question was platted as part of Caba Realty First Addition.
In 1988, four variances were granted by the City to allow construction of a parking lot to
service a 25,656 sq. ft. building. The following variances were granted:
1) Reduce the hard surface setback form street right-of-way from 20 feet to 12 feet on the
west.
2) Reduce the hard surface setback form street right-of-way from 20 feet to 15 feet on the
east. �
3) Reduce the hard surface setback from street right-of-way from 20 feet to 15 feet on the
north.
4) Reduce the building setback from the right-of-way (University Avenue) from 35 feet to 26
feet.

At that time in 1899, 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, office and garage space. The calculations resulted in a final determination that 92 stalls
were required.
Originally, the parking plan consisted of 69 outdoor stalls and 21 indoor stalls, with space
available for 3 future outdoor stalls, to be striped if needed. Since that time, the parking
garage has been modified to add storage for files. Six stalls were lost and no permits were
issued for this work.

ANALYSIS
Land Use: The Moose Club
Code Section 205.14.03.B.(1b) limits coverage of a lot by a three story building and its
accessory buildings to a maximum of 30 percent. Lot coverage by buildings is proposed to be
40.2%
Code Section 205.14.03.C.(1) requires buildings in the front yard to be setback a minimum of
35 feet from any public right-of-way. The petitioner is requesting a setback of 15 feet.
Code Section 205.14.03.C.(2b) requires buildings in the side yard to be setback a minimum of
35 feet from the right-of-way. The petitioner is requesting a setback of 15 feet from the east
side yard and 15 feet from the west side yard for the parking deck. The proposed ramp to
the parking deck will be 0 feet from the west properiy line.
Code Section 205.14.05.D.(4) requires driveways to be 25 feet wide. The petitioner is
proposing a driveway width of 22 feet on the parking deck and 24 feet on the ramp.
Code Section 205.03.55 requires parking stalls to be 10 feet wide by 20 feet deep. The
petitioner is proposing stalls widths of 9.5 feet for the parking deck.
T'he Orthopaedic building is three stories tall and the footprint covers 16.6% of the site. The
building consists of three floors. The first two floors each contain 9,432 square feet; the top
floor contains 6,792 square feet. The buildings total area is 25,656 square feet.

Staff Report: VAR #98-18

Staff suggests a speculative formula of 1 parking stall per 200 squaze feet for this complex
due to the nearly 50/50 split between clinic and office uses. Much of the building area is
dedicated to halls, restrooms, a common lunch room, elevators, etc. After subtracting
incidental space within the building and then applying the speculative formula, 99 parking
stalls would be required.
The site currently has 69 outdoor parking stalls. After the proposed construction of the
surgical suite three parking stalls would be left on the first floor. This equates to 72 parking
stalls, thus the new development would still require an additiona127 stalls.
The construction of the proposed parking deck would add 29 new stalls, but would elimutate
2 stalls beneath it. This equates to 99 total stalls, which would fulfill the new pazking
requirement.
Building Code Issue
In regards to the placement of the deck, the Uniform Building Code requires the parking
deck to be 20 feet from the existing building, since it is constructed of glass. This caused the
deck to be shifted to the north and actually elongated it laterally, since a double row of
parking could not be created on the east end of the deck. This has increased the length of the
north setback variance and has increased the size of the deck.
Drainage
Rain water runoff or drainage from the deck needs to be determined. The volume and rate of
drainage from the deck, especially down the ramp, need to be evaluated. We have discussed
this issue with the petitioner. They have indicated that existing cistern(s) can be utilized, but
a drainage plan needs to be produced.
Lighting and Security
Lighting needs under and on the ramp were not addressed in the petitioner s information.
Lighting under the ramp should be fairly simple to determine. Lighting on the ramp may
not negatively affect traffic on 83rd Avenue or University Avenue. Light poles should be
either restricted in height or lighting could be limited to wall packs on the ramp walls.
Skateboarders may represent a problem due to the ramp. The petitioners have indicated that
the parking deck is to be used by employees only, so some type of gate or barrier may be
employed. This may be enough to dissuade skateboarders from using the ramp.
Lot Coverage
The proposed parking deck and ramp are 13,392 square feet in area. Combine with the
12.05 5
Staff Report: VAR #98-18
8290 Univ Ave NE
Page 6
buildings foot print, total lot coverage is 22,824 square feet. Being that the lot size is 56,770
square feet, total lot coverage by structures is 40.2%. As indicated earlier, the maximum lot
coverage by a three story structure is 30%; maximum lot coverage by a one story structure is
40 %.
The proposed parking deck will make up 59% of the foot print of the site. The third floor of
the building is only 2/3 the size of the other floors. The average building height would be
less than two stories for the site, but a two story building is still limited to 35% lot coverage
by the City Code.
Construction Material
The materials and color of the parking deck were not indicated. If the deck is to be approved,
the materials and color should be approved by staff. Elevation views of how the deck will
look should also be presented to staff.
Ramp Traffic
The petitioner has indicated that the ramp will be used only by employees. The ramp is
located on the property line and alongside the entrance to the main parking lot. Even though
the ramp may be gated, it still may cause confusion to people entering or leaving the ramp.
Its close proximity to the curb also does not allow for stacking of vehicles that may be trying
to exit the site or trying to get onto the ramp. Direction signs and mazkings may be needed
adjacent to the ramp.
Driveway Width & Stall Size
The City Code requires driveway widths to be 25 feet and parking stalls be 10 feet wide. The
proposed driveway width on the deck ranges from 22 feet to 32 feet in width. The ramp is
proposed to be 24 feet wide. The proposed deck stalls are to be 9.5 feet wide. Being that the
driveways and stalls will be designated for employee use only, and will not have a high turn
over rate during the course of the day, these variance seem reasonable.
CONC�.USION
The petitioner is proposing a unique approach to handling the parking issue at the site. Due
to the shape of the lot and the fact that the lot is surrounded by rights-of-way, it is difficult to
meet the setback requirements of the lot. Retrofitting a parking deck in this manner makes
this project new to the city and difficult for staff, because the Code is not specific to parking
decks. We would recommend approving the vaziances with the following stipulations:
APPEALS COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
The Appeals Commission recommended approval of the variances requested with the
12.06 6
StaffReport: VAR#98-18
8290 Univ Ave NE
Page 7
following stipulations:
1) A storm water/drainage plan for the site must be approved by the City Engineering
Department.
2) A lighting plan for above and beneath the deck shall be approved by city staff.
3) Elevation views of the deck shall be reviewed and approved by staff prior to the issuance
of a building permit for the deck.
4) The materials and colors of the deck shall be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a
building permit.
5) The parking deck shall be designated for employee use only.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Appeals Commission.

Northwestern Orthopaedic Surgeons Partnership would respectfully like to apply for a
variance on behalf of Orthopaedic Partners, P.A.
As you know, our practice is interested in building an office based out-patient surgery
center. This would require replacing several of the parking spaces which are currently
housed within our building. Based on the square footage of our building, the City has
indicated that 27 additional parking spaces would be required on our property. Having
explored various options, we feel that a pazking deck is our only alternative.
We would like to respectfully request a variance with respect to parking deck setbacks.
We request parking ramp setbacks from 20 feet to 15 feet on the east and north sides.
(These variances were ganted for the original lot.) We originally were granted a variance
from 20 feet to 12 feet on the west side. The proposed ramp would require a setback on
the west side from 20 feet to approximately 11 feet on the north end and nanowing to
appro�mately 7 feet at the south end nearing the ramp entrance. (We will need to verify
the calculations for the west side setback request with City Planning prior to the Council
meeting.)
In addition we would like to request a variance to reduce the width of the 2 way drive
from 25 feet to 24 feet on the entrance ramp, and from 25 feet to 22 feet in the lot.
The proposed deck would add a second level of parking over a portion of our existing lot
and provide for 29 additional spaces in our lot.
Sincerely,
Robin C. Crandall, M.D.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:23 P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated the request is for the property at 8290 University Avenue. Dr. Crandall
is requesting six variances to allow the construction of a parking deck at this location.
These variances include an increase in the maximum allowable lot coverage by a three
story building from 30% to 40.2%; to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 15 feet;
to reduce the east side yard setbacks from 35 feet to 15 feet; to reduce the west side yard
setback from 25 feet to 0 feet for the ramp to the deck; to reduce the driveway width to 22
feet on the deck and 24 feet on the ramp; and to reduce the size of the parking stalls from
10-feet to a 9.5-foot width. 12.14
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 10, 1998 PAGE 9
Mr. Hickok stated the hardship states: "Our practice is interested in building an office
based out-patient surgery center. This would require replacing several of the parking
spaces which are currently housed within our building. Based on the square footage of
our building, the City has indicated that 27 additional parking spaces would be required
on our property. Having explored various options, we feel that a parking deck is our only
altemative."
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner was before the Appeals Commission fairly recently with a
request for a variance to the number of stalls overall. At that time, part of the solution was
a reciprocal parking agreement with the Moose Lodge across the service drive. As that
was considered, there were a number of stipulations placed on that proposal. The
request was withdrawn because the petitioner felt some of the issues were possibly
insurmountable encumbrances placed on his property and the Moose Lodge with an
uncertain future. No one can be certain what the future development might be for a site.
As a result, the petitioner began to analyze a parking deck on the existing site.
Mr. Hickok stated a number of variances were granted for the site initially. The office
space relative to the parking spaces required the parking curbs be moved closer to the
property lines than would be typically seen. The variances requested also included a
variance to have the building moved closer to University Avenue. Those were approved
based on the belief of the hardship of the loopback parcel and the use within.
Mr. Hickok stated the proposed parking deck is primarily within those setback areas.
Anytime you modify a site such as this, you not only have to recognize the new variances
but also the variances granted in the past. According to the building code, the parking
deck needs to be 20 feet away from the building. Because the building exists and it is
glass, there needs to be 20 feet of separation or the wall needs to be entire non-
combustible from ceiling to floor from the ceiling of the third floor down to the ground on
the north face. This required separation pushed the parking deck out to the north closer
to 83rd. The setback from University is the same as the parking setback. The deck
comes around to the west side of the building with a ramp leading to the current access
drive. On a curve such as exists, it is important where the access drive comes in to the
property.
Mr. Hickok stated they have been able to meet the number of required parking stalls. All
of the parlcing would be on site. They have talked with the petitioner about the potential
of lowering the deck elevation but there is a water table issue here so this is not feasible.
Mr. Hickok stated that in order to make this work with the parameters on site, the drive
aisles would need to be reduced. It is recognized that some of these stalls would be easy
to get into. There may be some stalls that are difficult to get into and out of. As long as
the unusual nature of pulling into these stalls is known, that is something that they may be
able to work with by designating this as employee-only parking.
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner is proposing a unique approach to handling the parking
issue on this site. Due to the shape of the lot and the fact that the lot is surrounded by
right-of-way, it is difficult to meet the setback requirements. Retrofitting the parking deck
in this manner makes the project difficult for staff to analyze. There is no precedent and
no similar project. Because the code is not specific to parking decks, staff is on the verge
of supporting the variances, but a number of issues must be addressed by the petitioner.
Staff would recommend approval of the variance requests with the following stipulations:
12.15
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 10, 1998 PAGE 10
1. A storm water/drainage plan for the site must be approved by the City
Engineering Department.
2. A lighting plan above and beneath the deck shall be approved by city staff.
3. Elevation views of the deck shall be reviewed and approved by staff prior to
the issuance of a building permit.
4. The materials and colors of the deck shall be approved by staff prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
5. The-parking deck shall be designated for employee use only.
Ms. Mau asked if staff saw any problems with visibility issues.
Mr. Hickok stated visibility is a critical piece of stafPs analysis. If the site did not have the
characteristics such as the broad right-of-way adjacent to University Avenue and the
uncertainty of the future widening of the roadway, they did want the certainty that there is
green space that will separate this projection from the roadway and not create any
visibility issues. As part of the design on the comer, it is critical that it be designed with a
"notch" to maintain sight lines.
Dr. Vos asked, if you were to tum right or left when coming out of the parking ramp, will
the ramp impede the visibility to the north?
Mr. Hickok stated that when coming to a comer, landscaping needs to be down 30 inches
or less. The ramp is within that mark. Staff feels it is appropriate. To exit this deck and
tum south, that maneuvering, if just for employees. is a fact that can be alerted to
employees. This is an unusual arrangement with cars coming down behind. Instructions
to employees about these issues could better control that issue.
Dr. Crandall stated they have been in that location for the last 10 years. He thanked staff
and the Appeals Commission for listening to this over and over again while they are trying
to get this to work. They are trying to come up with a solution to the community that
would allow a high quality parking without having to walk across the street or jeopardize
patient care. It was felt that the reciprocal agreement and having people walk across the
street was not workable. He thought this rould be done without any type of aesthetic
issues. There is landscaping in place currently that is mature. Very little of that would
have to be removed. The parking deck only goes into the confines of the current parking
lot other than the area where the ramp goes up. He believed this does solve their needs
and solves the city's dilemma of getting enough parking. He believed it would enhance
the property and make it better for patients. Patients would have weather-protected
parking.
Dr. Crandall agreed that the lighting issues are very important and they certainly want to
comply with that. They also want to comply with any aesthetic materials necessary. The
slope of the land is interesting. As you drive up 83rd Avenue, the slope goes up quite a
bit and the deck would not be above the elevation of University by much. The lot is kind
of sunken down as you look at it now and the deck will be built above that. They have full
architectural drawings done. They wanted to get the variances granted before spending
the money on such a large project.. He thought it would enhance the community and
would be something that would help the city. __

APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 10, 1998 PAGE 11
Dr. Vos stated the last stipulation indicates the deck is to be designated for employees
only. He asked the petitioner's response to that stipulation.
Dr. Crandall sfated that stipulation is fine. It would be for employees and physicians— for
those people involved directly with the work at that building. This is a medical building
built around the practices of neuro sciences and orthopaedic surgery.
Dr. Vos stated there are creative ways to make sure that only employees use the deck.
Dr. Crandall stated there will be no opportunity to park anywhere else.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:42 P.M.
Dr. Vos stated he is impressed with the plan. He was not comfortable with walking across
the street, especially for the patients. That puts the business and profession in jeopardy.
He asked if there are any decks in the city other than at city hall.
Mr. Hickok stated the deck at city hall is the only parking deck. They plan to have parking
decks at the Lake Pointe site.
Dr. Vos stated that if this looks as good as it does on paper, it is a good plan. The
requests seem to be the same as when the building was constructed ten years ago. � He
did not see any new requests. There is also the existing parking lot. He would vote in
favor of the request with the stipulations. With stipulation #5 and the smaller sized
parking stalls, employees would not be going in and out. Lighting is important below as
well as above.
Ms. Mau agreed. She was not pleased with the reciprocal parking agreement. This is a
creative answer to a difficult problem. She believed the recommendation by staff are
reasonable. She has no problem with the request.
Ms. Beaulieu agreed.
Mr. Kuechle concurred. The request is reasonable. It is reasonable to have a 9.5-foot
parking stall in an employee parking lot because it is basically once in and once out. The
stipulations are appropriate.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Mau, to recommend approval of Variance
Request, VAR #98-18, by Northwestem Orthopaedic Surgeons Partnership, LLP, to allow
the percentage of property to be covered by building to be increased from 35% to 40.2%;
to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 15 feet for a parking deck; to reduce the
side yard setback from 35 feet to 15 feet for a parking deck; to reduce the side yard
setback from 35 feet to 0 feet for a parking deck ramp; to reduce the finro-way driveway
aisle width from 25 feet to 22 feet for the parking deck and from 25 feet to 24 feet for the
parking deck ramp; and to reduce the width of parking stalls from 10 feet to 9.6 feet; to
allow the construction of a 29-stall parking deck on Lot 1, Block 1, Caba Realty First
Addition, generally located at 8290 University Avenue N.E., with the following stipulations:
1. A storm water/drainage plan for the_site must be approved by the City
Engineering Department. 12.17
APPEALS COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 10, 1998 PAGE 12
2. A lighting plan above and beneath the deck shali be approved by city staff.
3. Elevation views of the deck shall be reviewed and approved by staff prior to
the issuance of a building permit.
4. The materials and colors of the deck shall be approved by staff prior to the
issuance of a building permit.
5. The parking deck shall be designated for employee use only. .

Re: Fridley Community Center Lower Level Construction Bids
On Thursday, June 4�' at 2:OOp.m., the bids were opened for the construction
project to complete the lower level of the Fridley Community Center. Ten
construction companies submitted bids on the project.
The base bid on the project generally includes all work to complete the
dance/exercise area, lounge, game room, hallway and rest rooms on the lower
level of the Fridley Community Center. There were four altemates identified on
the bid form, including altemate #1, which would eliminate lowering of the
concrete slab in the dance/exercise room; alternate #2, which would eliminate
the folding wall partition; altemate #3, which would add a wood grid to the open
ceiling system; and alternate #4, which would exchange an acoustical tile drop
ceiling for the open ceiling system. In addition, bidders were asked to identify a
completion date and agree to substantially complete the work on or before that
date.
Nine of the ten bidders completed all of the information required on the bid form,
while one bidder omitted some data. Of the nine complete bids submitted, the
base bids ranged from a low of $216,500 to a high of $257,258. Our pre-bid
estimate for the construction project was $278,209. The bidders' timetables for
completion of the work ranged from eight weeks to twenty weeks.
Because of the favorable bids received, it is my recommendation that we include
alternate #3 in the project, which would provide for the wood grid system to be
added to the open ceiling in the game room and lounge area. The low bidder on
the project (including the base bid and alternate #3) was Crawford-Merz
Construction Company of Minneapolis with a total of $233,068. It is my
recommendation that the City Council award the contract on Construction Project
#319 (Alterations to Fridley Community Center) to Crawford-Merz Construction
Company. In addition to being the low bidder, Crawford-Merz also had the
quickest completion date identified for the project of August 1, 1998 or eight
weeks after notification to proceed.
13.01
Also for your information, we are working with local youth and teachers to
complete the woodworking, painting and wall murals for this project. In the best
case scenario, all the work would be completed before or around the time
students return to school in the fall.
Upon approval of this recommendation by the City Council, we will work closely
with School District #14 staff to complete the project. Please let me know if you
have any questions or need any additional information.
