THE MINUTES OF THE SPECIAL MEETING OF THE FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL
OF JULY 6.1998
The Special Meeting of the Fridley City Council was called to order by Mayor Jorgenson at
7:30 p.m.
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE:
Mayor Jorgenson led the Council and the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag.
ROLL CALL:
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Jorgenson, Councilmember Barnette, Councilmember
Billings, Councilmember Schneider and Councilmember Bolkcom.
MEMBERS ABSENT: None.
Mayor Jorgenson explained that the purpose of the special meeting was to discuss the City's
storm damage and tree removal policy. This is the first opportunity the City Council has had to
meet since the storm damage that occurred on June 24, 1998.
Mayor Jorgenson noted that the items for discussion were as follows: the City's Emergency
Management procedures related to storm damage, the policy on potential or existing weather-
related damages, the policy on public notification of cleanup, possible assistance available for
private cleanup, and code enforcement issues related to storm cleanup.
1. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, explained that as a result of the July 1, 1997 storm, a policy
was developed relating to storm damage. This policy states that the Public Safety Director or
designee determines the need to declare an area tliat is damaged as ari emergency area. Once
the area is defined, a declazation of emergency would be established, and they would then
identify what effort would be taken to pick up brush and debris and establish a time limit. The
City would remove all damaged trees located in public right-of-ways and City pazks.
Residential, commercial and industrial properties with damaged tree branches within the
designated area could cut and stack them on the boulevard in front of their property for removal
by the City within the specified time limit. The City would not be responsible for the removal of
any private tree trunks or brush pick-up after the established time period. Properties with
building damage would be responsible for the building material clean-up and disposal. The City
would make available to properry owners any information available on contractors and sites
available for disposal of materials. In the event of a major disaster, the City would request
additional help from other governmental agencies and military organizations.
�
SPECIAL CITY CO_UNCIL MEETING - JULY 6.1998 PAGE 2
Councilmember Schneider asked how storm debris from the last two storms was handled. Mr.
Flora explained that the Police Department, Public Works Department and the Fire Department
met and identified a disaster area. It was broadcast on cable television and announced on several
radio stations with a designated time in which the removal would be started and finished.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if Mr. Flora had an idea as to how many properties were impacted in the
May 15 storm versus the June storm. Mr. Flora explained that the City received appror>imately
600 calls for the May 15 storm. The June storm resulted in approximately 60 calls from various
parts of the City.
Councilmember Schneider asked if it would make a difference if all of the 60 calls had been
received from one particular neighborhood, or if there was some established number criteria for
calls that were citywide. Mr. Flora stated if a major portion of the City was impacted, an area
would be identified and addressed accordingly. If only a small portion of the City was affected,
the City would not assist with storm damage removal.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she received more calls regarding the June storm than for the
May storm. Residents were concerned that their tax money was used in May and because of that
they would not receive assistance for the June storm. She stated she has had difficulty
addressing these comments.
Mr. Burns stated that the May storm resulted in power lines being down, fires, flooded streets,
etc. All of the police crews were out as well as the Fire Department staff. As a result, he feels
the May storm was much more of a threat to the public safety than the June storm.
It was noted that there were a number of trees down during the June storm, and the Public Works
Department made sure that the public right-of-ways were cleared first and foremost. Ho�Never, a
decision must be made as to what should be done with respect to private properties. The position
that the City has taken is that if the storm has not had a major impact on the City, it has not been
looked upon as a major emergency. The magnitude of the damage throughout the total area of
the City is what deems an emergency disaster. A determination must be made as to when the
City removes crews from their regular duties and diverts them to storm damage cleanup.
Councilmember Schneider asked if it is common to get up to 60 calls from residents after a
storm. Mr. Flora responded that a number of the calls were inquiries to see if the City was going
to pick up the storm damage as had been done in May. Staf�s response after the June storm was
that the City would be picking up boulevard branches and debris, but that the trees on private
properties would be the responsibility of the residents and/or their insurance carriers.
Mayor Jorgenson explained that unfortunately, insurance companies only cover tree removal if
the tree has fallen on a house/garage or some other structure. If there are three or four trees down
on one property and they did not fall on a structure, the insurance company is not going to offer
any assistance for that.
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JULY 6 1998 PE1GE 3
Councilmember Bolkcom noted that it would be difficult for residents to even obtain brush
removal services. Garbage haulers have in the past agreed to pick up a limited amount of trees;
however at this time the damage is widespread and therefore they may impose limits as to what
they will take as we1L
Mr. Flora explained that most refuse haulers have the ability to pick up debris at the curb.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated her refuse hauler will only take a limited number of bundles
each time and that is what most other residents aze dealing with at this time. Mr. Flora stated he
believes the biggest problem is finding something to do with the material. The Anoka County
Tree Refuse Site is closed and the refuse haulers need a place to bring it to as well.
Councilmember Billings asked what the City's current policy is. Discussion has been that the
current policy is not working.
Councilmember Schneider asked how the policy is implemented. He asked if other surrounding
communities were contacted to see if they aze experiencing the same type of problems.
2. POLICY ON POTENTIAL OR EXISTING WEATHER RELATED DAMAGES:
Mayor Jorgenson stated there had been some discussion as to the City staff being able to pick up
the materials. She asked if the City has ever used contract employees to assist during the busy
construction times.
Mr. Flora stated the City has not used any contract employees. To date, the City has always used
in-house staff, which impacts all of the departments because of the limited force. Mr. Burns
noted that the City has used Ceres Environmental Services, Inc., to dispose of the material.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the City generally responds to calls for pick-up or if they have
staff drive around and pick up debris that is on the boulevard. Mr. Flora stated many times they
are responding to a call, however all trees which have fallen on the public right-of-way are
removed.
3. POLICY ON PUBLIC NOTIFICATION OF CLEANUP:
Mr. Flora noted that when an emergency is called, the City attempts to use the resources
available, such as cable television and the Fridley Information Line. Other than that, residents
obtain information by contacting staff at the Municipal Center.
Councilmember Schneider asked if the City has record of the 60 residents who called the City
after the June storm. Mr. Flora stated that the City has an address and telephone number for
those residents who called.
Mr. Flora provided information on storm removal policies of neighboring communities.
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JULY 6.1998 PAGE 4
Mr. Colotti, 1121 Lynde Drive, stated their property received some damage, which they were
able to collect themselves; however they have seen horrendous situations on the streets. He
distributed copies of photographs of storm damage at the 1120 Lynde Drive property after the
June storm. Four trees were lost and the owner of the property was injured while attempting to
bring the trees to the curbside. He believes that a good portion of the 60 calls after that storm
came from residents concerned about this particular property. .
Jeff Shaw, 5854 Stinson Boulevard, stated this is the first storm that has affected his property
since he purchased it in 1981. His neighbor also received damage. Three trees fe?1 across
Stinson Boulevard on Thursday morning and blocked him in. A call was made to the Ciry
without response. NSP was contacted to make sure tliat the lines could be moved so that they
could cut their way out of the street. They spent a considerable amount of time doing so and
ended up with a very large pile of branches. He feels that a tree that falls and blocks a street
should be the responsibility of the City. Mr. Flora stated he had spoken with the neighbor on this
issue. The tree was a private tree and off the right-of-way. �-Ie was told that the tree fell into the
right-of-way when it was cut for removal. Mr. Shaw stated this was not the case. One was
leaning and ready to fall over, but the other two were major oak trees that fell onto the street.
Residents cut down the one that was leaning, but the other two were blocking the roadway at
2:00 a.m.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if staff came out to assess the situation. Mr. Shaw responded in the
affirmative, but that they had determined that it was not the City's responsibility.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if it is possible that by the time City staff had come out the neighbors
had already removed two of the trees.
Ralph Nielsen, 5876 Stinson Boulevard, stated he received storm damage and had many family
members over to assist in the cleanup. However, when he awoke in the morning, both trees were
blocking the road, and neighbors joined together to clear a portion of the area to allow residents
to leave the azea. City staff arrived after a portion of the road had been cleared. Mr. Nielsen
hired someone to remove the third tree, which he feared would be dangerous in the event of
another storm. �
A1 and Lisa Wasserman, 340 Hugo Street, thanked the Council for arranging the special Council
meeting. Mr. Wasserman stated his property was affected by both storms. When he called after
the June storm he was told that the City would not be picking up the brush. One of the trees,
which fell on his roof, will likely cost $2,500 to remove. The insurance company will probably
only pay $500. He has a very large pile of debris, which they cannot mulch. Their garbage
hauler will agree to pick up the brush, but requires that bundles be no larger than 3 to 4 feet long,
and no bigger than 18 inches in diameter. At that rate, it will take them 1-1/2 years to dispose of
the debris.
Councilmember Billings asked if the City's policy states that the City will pick up any tree 6
inches in diameter or less. Mr. Flora responded in the affirmative.
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JULY 6 1998 PAGE 5
Ms. Wasserman stated they were cited for having the debris pile in their yazd. T:�ey have
mulched what they could, but they have no way of getting rid of it.
Mr. Wasserman stated between Hugo Street and Ironton Street there is a very large pile of debris
on the boulevard which obstructs the view for persons tuming onto East River Road. What can
they do to obtain assistance?
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated a summer intern in the Code Enforcement Department has been
going around to neighborhoods in the City to track code violations and nuisances. A number of
the violations which she has documented are for properties with storm debris. He noted however
that this is not a citation. She has been notified of the situation and will not be issuing notices to
residents.
Mayor Jorgenson stated the Federal Government declared the May 15"' storm an emergency. To
obtain information in regard to financial assistance from FEMA, Mr. Wasserman can contact Mr.
Flora at City Hall.
One resident asked that City staff contact block captains and let them know of the City's intent to
pick up storm debris so that the block captains can pass the information on to residents in the
neighborhoods. Mayor Jorgenson stated the City would be utilizing the Fridley Information Line
(572-3600) which will provide information on brush pick-up as well as other emergency
information. A telephone line will also be available for residents to call which will record the
name, address & telephone number and assist staff in tracking storm damage as�vell.
Ed Piersak, 625 Fairmont Street N.E., stated he lost a tree in the storm, which he had his son cut
up. He did not contact the City because they picked up the debris from the May storm and he
assumed this would be the case for the June storm as well. This is the first time in 27 yeazs that
he has asked for assistance.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated when the City picked up after the May storm, she assumed that
would also be the case for the June storm. Councilmember Schneider sta.ted he feels that there
was a communications breakdown with staff. He was out of town at the time of the storm, but
received a number of calls at his home from concerned residents.
Valerie Rolstad, 1100 Lynde Drive, stated she lost a tree that was small enough that the refuse
hauler picked it up. She wondered what constitutes when the City will pick up the debris. In
her case, the June storm effected her property more than the May storm.
Joyce Colotti, 1121 Lynde Drive, stated they were able to take care of the damage which
occurred on their own property. However, she has concerns about the neighbor directly across
the street who was injured when trying to clean up his property. This neighbor has been a
faithful, law-abiding citizen who is now in need of assistance. She stated it does not seem fair
that cleanup is not available from the June storm just because it affected fewer citizens. She
feels all citizens of Fridley deserve the same respect.
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JULY 6.1998 PAGE 6
Frank Plant, 5690 Regis Drive N.E., stated they lost a tree, wliich fell partially into the street.
They cleaned it up and piled it on the boulevard. If the City hauled the debris from the May
storm, he feels it is only fair that they also haul away the debris from the storm in June.
Pete Eisenzimmer, 6536 Oakley Drive, stated he feels the policy should have been left as it was.
Debris was always cleaned up in the past prior to 1997. The problems have resulted since that
time.
Councilmember Bolkcom explained that prior to 1997 there was no storm cleanup policy.
Ray McAfee, 1360 Hillcrest Drive, stated one storm last year and one storm this year have
resulted in a water problem in their neighborhood. The water runs off of Hillcrest and Woody
Lane into two catch basins. One year ago, it washed out a neighbors retaining wall.
Unfortunately, the water overflow problem, though reported to the City, was never taken caze of
and during the last storm resulted in a large, deep water hole which is a serious safety hazard for
the small children in the area. He asked that the City consider the concerns of its residents and
take appropriate action.
Mr. Flora stated the retaining wall on this property was built incorrectly. The City put in another
storm water line for drainage and suggested improvements that the homeowner should consider
for the retaining wall. Unfortunately, the May storm resulted in many of the catch basins being
blocked, causing overflow. The retaining wall eroded. The City has offered to provide fill for
the property, however, it will be the contractor's responsibility to rebuild the wall. and the result
will be determined in the civil case between the homeowner and the contractor. The water hole
is on private property.
Mr. McAfee asked who is responsible for easement property. He felt the water hole should
fenced off to protect the children in the area. Mr. Flora stated he would be in contact with the
resident of the property in regard to this matter.
Marty Povlitzki, on Hugo Street, stated he did not have any property damage, however the
neighbor's tree fell on the power line and when the tree company came-to cut the tree, thz debris
was left on his property. He was not concerned at that time, however, as he assumed that the
City would again be picking up storm debris. He feels if the resources are not there to provide
for the cleanup, the City should at least provide a temporary site where the debris can be hauled.
He is also concerned about the piles on the boulevard on East River Road between Hugo and
Ironton, which is a traffic hazard.
4. POSSIBLE ASSISTANCE AVAILABLE FOR PRIVATE CLEANUP:
Mayor Jorgenson asked if a facility is available to place storm debris. Mr. Flora responded there
is not a facility at this time, however a park could be used as a site.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated there are many residents who do not have a means of hauling
the debris to a site.
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JULY 6 1998 PAGE 7
Mr. Flora stated the City does not have a forestry department or the equipment necessary to
provide for this type of cleanup. The City has a street crew and a decision needs to be rnade as to
whether the work in that department is placed on hold while they provide the clean up, whether a
new department ne�ds to be established, or whether the City should contract out for these
cleanup services. Also, it will be necessary to determine if only boulevard debris will be hauled.
Councilmember Schneider asked how other cities handle the matter. Mr. Flora noted that some
have contracts and some are doing it in-house.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated it would take time to establish a consistent policy. In the
meantime, what can be done for these residents?
Councilmember Billings stated that Council must determine whether they want to be in the tree-
removing business or not. In 1997 the Council decided they did not want to send a crew out to
pick up unless the Public Works Director/Fire Chief/Police Chief determined that it was a major
storm. The City either must have a policy that they do pick up debris after a storm, or that they
do not.
Councilmember Schneider stated the City does have a policy. The problem is in the
interpretation of the policy. He believes a number of factors, such as the resources a.vailable
definitely impact the decision as to whether a storm is considered major.
One resident stated that the City needs to purchase a mulcher and a large truck to haul tree
branches.
Councilmember Barnette stated he agreed with staff on the decision not to pick up storm debris.
The decision was based on the policy established in 1997. Perhaps the policy needs to be re-
evaluated, however staff responded appropriately in this case.
Councilmember Bolkcom suggested that the Council consider authorizing staff to pick up the
debris from the June storm and then sit down and re-evaluate the policy.-
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to have the City pick up debris from the June storm and
then re-evaluate the current policy. Seconded by Councilmember Schneider, with an
amendment that the policy be re-evaluated at the Council's next conference session. .
Councilmember Billings asked that the previous motions be considered sepazately.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to instruct City staff to clean up storm debris from the
June 24 storm and any debris left from the May storm. Seconded by Councilmember Schneider.
Councilmember Barnette stated there aze many residents who may not be aware of the Council's
decision. He asked if City crews will be driving around and picking up without calls.
SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL MEETING - JULY 6.1998 PAGE 8
Councilmember Bolkcom noted that something would likely be published in the Fridley Focus.
Mayor Jorgenson stated the City would need to look at a way of public notification of how the
City will handle the situation. The City must also communicate to people how situations will be
handled in the future.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEMBERS VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Flora asked how soon the council wants the cleanup implemented. Mayor Jorgenson
suggested that it begin on Monday, July 13, 1998.
Pete Eisenzimmer, 6535 Oakley Drive, asked that the City consider joining forces with another
City and purchase a mulcher.
A resident at 7364 Melody Drive stated the Fridley compost site is closed from the middle of
June through mid-September at the height of the grass-cutting season. He asked why this
decision was made. Mayor Jorgenson explained that the Environmental Quality and Energy
Commission suggested that the site be closed during the summer months primarily as a cost
measure. The site is primarily used for leaf collection. The resident asked if Council could
consider having the site open for two days during the week. Mayor Jorgenson stated staff and
Council could discuss this further.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom that a discussion be held at the next Council conference
meeting regarding storm branch cleanup, the forces used for that cleanup, and the interpretation
of the policy.
Councilmember Billings stated he would be voting against the motion. He does not have a
problem discussing at the budget session the manner in which the City does the cleanup, but he
cannot think of any information which staff can bring them at the conference session which will
be substantial over information received at this meeting. He thinks the Council needs to
implement a new policy immediately in terms of how and whether the City will pick up.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she would like to obtain information in regard to prices and
contract costs.
Councilmember Schneider stated he feels staff could offer suggestions in regard to policy
changes or understanding or interpretation of the existing policy based on testimony received at
this meeting.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings for a SUBSTITLJTE MOTION that Council establish a
policy that in the event of a storm, the City will pick up tree brush and limbs and that a
determination be made at the next City budget work session whether this will be done by City
forces or by contract forces. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
SPECIAL CITY COITNCIL MEETING - JULY 6.1998 PAGE 9
Councilmember Billings stated he believes as the residents do that it should not make any
difference as to the amount of trees down or the number of affected residents. It is impossible
for anyone to make a decision as to the magnitude of the storm and have it be fair to all. The
City must make a decision as to whether or not they will pick up storm debris.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL MEMBERS VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Tom Rafferty, 148 Horizon Circle, stated the Council now made a conscious effort to pick up
branches and he feels they made the right decision.
Mr. Flora suggested that a deadline be established for putting brush at the bouTevard and that this
deadline be Monday, July 13, 1998.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom, to adjourn the Special Meeting. Seconded by
Councilmember Billings.

OPEN FORUM, ViSTTORS:
Mayor Jorgenson explained that this is the time reserved for residents to address the Council on
items that are not on the agenda.
Mr. William Turnyuist, 7601 Brigadoon Place, stated that he was present to discuss the tree and
brush removal policy. He noted that during a recent storm, he lost a rather large tree on his
property. He was told by a City employee that the City would not be picking up any storm
damage. He contacted the City offices and was provided the same information. Consequently, he
arranged to have the tree and branches removed by a contractor at a cost of $238.00. Sometime
thereafter, a decision was made by Council to have the City remove trees and brush damaged by
the storm. He felt the matter was handled poorly and that he should be reimbursed for the costs
that he incurred. He further stated that he felt there should be a place where residents could bring
the brush. Without a place to haul debris, if the City does not pick it up, residents have no
alternative but to hire someone to haul it away.
Mayor Jorgenson informed Mr. Turnquist that the initial plan was that the City would not be
involved in the removal of tree branches and brush. However, on July 6 an Emergency Council
Meeting was held, and the decision was changed. She noted that this matter �ill be discussed at
the next Council Conference Meeting on Monday, July 20, with input from the City Attorney.
Mr. Turnquist will be kept informed as to the outcome of that discussion.
Councilmember Schneider noted that City staff did not provide incorrect information at the time
Mr. Turnquist contacted staff. However, since that time staff was given a change in direction as
to what was to be done. He sincerely hoped that the City would be able to find a way to correct
the problem so residents are treated equally.

13. SPECIAL USE PERMIT REOUEST, SP #98-07, BY TTM YOCUM, YOCUM OTL
COMPANY, INC., TO ALLOW AN AUTOMOBTLE SERVICE STATION.
MOTOR VEIiiCLE CAR WASA, AND A "DRIVE-IN" TYPE
ESTABLISAMENT. GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF
Mr. Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator, explained that this is a special use permit request for
property located on the corner of 73rd Avenue and University Avenue N.E. to allow a motor fuel
operation and a car wash. The property is zoned C-2, General Business.
Mr. Hickok presented a map of the subject site, indicating the uses of the surrounding properties
(General Business, Heavy Industrial and Two-Family & Single-Family Residential). As a part of
the development project, a 1,600 square foot brick, rocked-faced block and glass drive through
car wash has been proposed for the southwest corner of the site. The other portion of the
development includes a nearly 5,000 square foot Taco Bell restaurant/Texaco convenience store
motor fuel operation. This building will also be brick and glass with a standing seam metal roof.
The canopy will include 16 fuel pumping stations.
The drive-through for the Taco Bell restaurant has been proposed to be located behind the
convenience store/restaurant building. Adequate screening will be provided between the drive-
through and the neighborhood, and a significant amount of stacking space has been allowed to
prevent traffic flow problems on the site. Because of sensitivity to the neighborhood, staff asked
that nothing be put on the back of the building that would create activity beyond the drive-
through itself.
The car wash will be situated on the southeast corner of the lot, with a great deal of glass facing
University Avenue. To attempt to preserve an aesthetically pleasing view and eliminating some of
the other potentially unsightly factors from University Avenue, staff recommended that a clear
glass block be utilized on all middle windows with standard wir�dows used in each of the end
openings facing University Avenue. The windows facing the convenience store would be
standard windows.
Councilmember Billings asked for a clarification of "instructional" purposes as required under
number 8 of the list of stipulations required by the Planning Commission (pg. 13.01). Mr. Hickok
noted that this refers to providing information in regard to the operation of the pumps. It could
also be used in the event of an emergency as noted in this section.
Councilmember Billings stated that he was not sure that informational exchange really falls under
"Instructional" purposes. He wondered if a coma could be added after "instructional" and the
words be added "information exchange.". He stated that he wanted to be sure that music is not
being played over the intercom.
Mr. Tim Yocum, of Yocum Oil Company, was present and provided a brief background on the
company. They are based in Maplewood and currently own and operate seven gas convenience
stores. He noted that their company is a wholesaler who provides support for the other dealers
that own and operate their own stores. Mr. Yocum presented a diagram of the proposed building.
CITY COUNCiL MEETTNG OF JULY 13, 1998 PAGE 8
Councilmember Billings asked how many of Mr. Yocum's gas/convenience store buildings are
partnered with a fast food operation. Mr. Yocum stated that they currently have two stores with
fast food restaurant operations. They have been in operation since 1995 and 1996, and they have
not experienced any problems.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Yocum if he has agreed to the recommendation made by staff
for the installation of glass block on a portion of the window area for the car wash. Mr. Yocum
indicated that their desire would be to have full glass in the area. He noted that the purpose of the
glass design is to provide a level of security for car wash customers. However, if the City
requires glass block, they would be willing to provide that.
Mayor Jorgenson asked what measures had been taken to encourage a right-out exit from the
drive-through. Mr. Hickok noted that the design of the drive-through is such that it will provide
for a easier exit. A customer could turn left, however, and exit onto the service drive and then to
the eastbound lane on 73rd Avenue.
Mayor Jorgenson also inquired as to where de(ivery vehicles will be parked. Mr. Yocum noted
that the vehicles will most likely park on the southeast area of the site.
Councilmember Bolkcom discussed the City's stance on outside storage. She noted that they
were working diligently to resolve some of the issues relating to the outside storage of products.
Mr. Hickok explained the City's ordinance pertaining to this matter. He noted that currently there
is a four foot area which is allowed for storage of products in the front of the building on a
temporary basis. At this time, "temporary basis" requires further clarification. �
Councilmember Billings asked why staff has recommended the glass block for a portion of the
glass window area of the car wash. If the petitioner's purpose of the windows is to provide a
safer environment, he does not understand why the City was requiring them to install glass block.
Mr. Hickok responded that this was the most visible area of the site. The glass windows would
provide a good appearance when the building is new; however, with the humidity it woul�' be
difficult to keep the windows clean. Additionally, the equipment proposed for the wash is not
stainless steel and would likely age and rust, thus creating a potentially unsightly appearance. The
glass block would be used only in the tunnel area with windows at the entrance and again near the
exit of the wash.
Councilmember Billings stated that he would be more comfortable with the language of the
P(anning Commission, stating that staff and the petitioner would get together and come up with a
reasonable solution to the problem of the windows.
Mr. Yocum stated that-one alternative to the glass block may be to install a bronze-tinted window
in that area. Mr. Hickok responded that this would be acceptable during the day; however, when
lights are on during the evening the equipment would be visible.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve the Special Use Permit #98-07, with the
stipulations found on Page 13.01 of the agenda book. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.

found in Stipulation number 13 on Page 3.08: "Petitioner shall work with City staff on a
reasonable solution to the car wash window openings". Seconded by Councilmember Schneider.
Councilmember Billings stated that the purpose for this amendment would be to allow between
now and the start of construction, staff and the petitioner to agree upon an acceptable type of
window solution which would more satisfactorily meet the needs of the City and the petitioner.
He further stated that it is his opinion that the City is overstepping its bounds in their requirement
of Stipulation number 12.
Attorney Knaak noted that the City has the right to specify the type of window material provided
there is a direct link to the issue of public health, safety and welfare.

14. VARiANCE REOUEST, VAR #98-19, BY TIM YOCUM, YOCUM OIL
COMPANY, INC., TO ALLOW THE MAXIMUM STZE OF A FREE-STANDING
SIGN TO BE INCREASED FROM 80 SOUARE FEET TO 120 SQUARE FEET.
_ GENERALLY LOCATED AT THE INTERSECTION OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE
AND 73RD AVENUE N.E. (WARD 1):
Mr. Hickok explained that Tim Yocum was requesting a variance to allow 40 additional square
feet of signage on a free-standing pylon sign for their proposed development at the southeast
corner of University Avenue and 73rd Avenue N.E. The petitioner's hardship statement states
that the importance of having adequate signage is imperative to both Taco Bell and Texaco and
how they conduct their businesses. Their development is unique in that two major retailers will be
working together on the parcel.
Mr. Hickok noted that the City limits free-standing pylon signs to SO square feet. He provided a
diagram of the proposed signage for the site, which includes a Texaco sign, "ATNI/car wash
sign," a"Taco Bell" sign, and a sign posting the gas prices. Mr. Hickok noted that in order to
grant a sign variance, four conditions must be met. He went through the four conditions, noting
that staffdoes not believe the petitioner has met the criteria.
CiTY COUNCIL MEETiNG OF JULY 13. 1998 PAGE 10
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the site is very visible, with very little obstruction. She does
not see a need in granting a sign variance.
Mr. Yocum stated that the fast food business and their business depends on impulse. They want
to provide a sign that will give people a forewarning to allow them to make a decision.
Mr. Doug Sinclair of Tenant Services, Inc., a consultant for Yocum Oil Company, Inc., stated
that a conscious effort has been made to create a property that makes a very strong, positive
image. The site is 2.4 acres and could conceivably be split into two lots. If this were so, code
would allow two 80 square foot signs on the two properties. By being allowed only 40 square
feet for each of their businesses they are being allocated only fifty percent of the signage that is
allowed for any other business of a similar type along University Avenue. This would put them at
a competitive disadvantage, and they could expect up to a twenty percent decrease in the sales
from what would normally be projected.
Councilmember Billings asked what amount of square footage they anticipate for wall signage.
Mr. Sinclair responded that they propose to have approximately 250 - 300 square feet of wall
signage (this includes the signage on the canopies). Based on the City's sign code, they could
essentially have up to 1,300 square feet of wall signage. However, they do not intend to do that.
Councilmember Barnette noted that both Conoco and Freedom have approached the City for a
sign variance and both have been denied.
Councilmember Billings asked what the minimum lot size is for C-2 zoning. Mr. �Hickok stated
that the minimum syuare footage required is 20,000 square feet (or 1/2 acre).
Councilmember Billings stated that this particular site is approximately 2.4 acres or equivalent to
five C-21ots. One reason that this lot has not been split is likely due to the shape of the lot. He
noted that perhaps some type of ground level monument sign could be put up with a pedestal sign
with a stipulation that building/canopy signage cannot exceed 350 or 375 square feet.
Councilmember Schneider stated that he does not think this is a trend that Council wants to start.
The property is a single lot, and the City's sign code is based on buildable lots. He also asked if
perhaps the gas prices could be posted on the wall signage. Mr. Hickok noted that this would be
information that must be visible to the public.
Councilmember Billings stated that the aesthetics of the building and how it blends irt with the
neighborhood, etc., deserve some type of consideration from Council in terms of signage.
Mr. Hickok noted that the adjacent property owners indicated that they were not in favor of the
sijn variance on this property. They are also a multi-tenant property and indicated that if this
variance was approved, they would seek one as well for their property.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve Variance #98-17 with three stipulations: 1)
pylon signs shall not be larger than 100 square feet; 2) that they be allowed to place a ground
level monument sign with _logos only which will not exceed 24 syuare feet; and 3) that the wall
signage including buildings and canopies shall be limited to 375 square feet for the entire site.
Seconded by Councilmember Schneider.

15. VARIANCE REOUEST, VAR #98-19, BY JASON REiLING. MICRO-MATICS.
TO ALLOW TftE RECONSTRUCTION OF A FIRE DAMAGED BUILDING
GENERALLY LOCATED AT 7871 HTCKORY STREET N.E.
Mr. Hickok explained that Mr. Reiling was requesting eight variances to allow the reconstruction
of an industrial building at 7871 Hickory Street N.E. On February 15, 1998, a fire destroyed the
industrial building which once housed Micro Matics. The following variances would be required
in order to allow for the reconstruction of the building: 1) lot area variance from 1.5 acres to .37
acres; 2) a lot width reduction from 150 feet to 120 feet; 3) a side yard reduction from 30 feet to
26 feet; 4) a reduced parking setback from the side lot from 5 feet to 0 feet; 5) a reduced parking
setback from the rear lot line from 5 feet to 0 feet; 6) a reduced parking setback from the main
building from 5 feet to 4.5 feet; 7) a reduced parking setback from the alley from 15 feet to 0 feet;
and 8) a reduced drive aisle width for two-way traffic from 25 feet to 15 feet.
Mr. Hickok explained that when this structure was constructed in 1978, numerous variances
would have been required. Code requirements for lot size were the same as they are today. D.W.
Harstad was the owner of the property as well as the properties to the north and south along the
west side of Hickory Street. The combined total of those parcels is equal to 1.87 acres. Because
there were eventually four owners on separately described parcels, the 1.87 acre parcel became
fragmented and was no longer an individual entity that could meet the lot requirements. (A
condominium plat was not created for separate ownership.) Granting or not granting the Micro-
Matics variances wiii have huge policy implications. If the variances are granted, the City has in
essence set a new standard for the M-2 district because these conditions are not unique to this
parce(. Each of the four parcels on the east side of Hickory Street have the same conditions.
Staff recommended denial of the eight variances requested due to the magnitude of the request as
a package, and because there are no unique characteristics applicable to this parcel. The Appeals
Commission recommended approval of the variances but further recommended that Council
consider an overlay district or zoning text amendment that would recognize the conditions in the
Onaway industrial district. By creatin� this, the City would avoid setting a precedence for other
larger M-2 tenants.
Attorney Knaak explained that if Council chose to grant this request they not only would be
making an exception for an M-2 zone, but the next time there is a fire on a substandard lot in a
residential area, making a distinction between that and industrial areas would be difficult to do.
Mr. Dick Reiling explained that it was his desire to build virtually the same size building as what
was previously on the property. If he is unable to do so, the property would be of no value and
could only be used for parking. Mayor Jorgenson noted that another option would be to sell the
property to one of the adjoining property owners.
A majority of the Council were concerned that granting the variances would set a precedence.
Councilmember Barnette stated that he has a lot of sympathy for Mr. Reiling.

TO ONE VOTE.
Brian Hounman, 833 Third Street S.W., New Brighton, asked if Council would consider splitting
each of the parcels into individual condominium lots. Mr. Hickok stated that he would be willing
to sit down with them to address any questions they may have.
Mr. Doug Petty, 7805 Beech Street N.E., stated that he owns two parcels on the corner and
would find himself in the same situation should something happen to his building. He employs
forty full-time employees, and he felt that it was important for the City to move forward with
some type of re-zoning. Additionally, he thinks that the property owners in that area should all be
notified of this situation.
1G. SPECiAL USE PERMIT REQUEST, SP #98-09, BY CELLNET DATA SERVICES
(MSP), INC., TO ALLOW WiRELESS TELECOMMUNiCATTON FACILTTIES
IN A M-2, HEAVY iNDUSTRiAL DTSTRICT, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 40
77TH WAY N.E. (WARD 3):
Mr. Hickok explained that CellNet Data Services, Inc. has requested a special use permit to allow
the installation of a Wireless Telecommunications Facility on an existing tower owned by
Northern States Power (NSP) and located on the Johnson Printing and Packaging Corporation
property at 40-77th Way N.E. Mr. Hickok presented a diagram of what would be installed on top
of the existing structure as well as an illustration of the locations of the micro-cell boxes that
would be attached to the upright pole-type structures that already exist. These micro-cell boxes
would communicate with the master cell facility which is why approval was being sought for the
special use permit request. The boxes contain equipment which wczuld read a signal from a
specified area of electric meters. As a result, the City will also be asked to initiate a text
amendment that will allow them to provide the next wave in their ordinance amendment. This
amendment would recognize and set the appropriate standards while accommodating the latest
micro-technology facilities.
Councilmember Billings asked if the text amendment would be required in order for them to put
up their micro-cell boxes. Mr. Hickok responded in the affirmative. He noted that a text
amendment will facilitate the technology and at the same time set some perimeters to protect the
residents as far as location.
Councilmember Billings stated that from a zoning standpoint, the City may need to exert some
control in how and where they do put their devices in.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to concur with the Planning Commission and approve
Special Use Permit Request, SP #98-17 with the following eight stipulations: 1) the petitioner or
successors shal( install and maintain the proposed equipment so that it blends into the surrounding

environment, 2) a non-corrosive finish shall be used to match the color of the existing structure,
3) The tower shall not be artificially illuminated except as required by the Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), 4) a staff approved landscape plan shall be filed with the City prior to
issuance of a building permit for this facility, 5) the facility shall be designed to discourage
unauthorized entry, 6) a building permit shall be obtained prior to commencement of installation
of any facility equipment on the site, 7) no signs other than warning or equipment information
signs are permitte� as part of this application, and 8) the petitioner or successors shall initiate a

THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. _
1. PUBLIC HEARING CONSIDERATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP #98-07.
BY TIM YOCUM YOCUM OIL COMPANY. INC.:
To allow an automobile service station, motor vehicle car wash, and a"drive-in"
type of establishment on Tract A, Registered Land Survey No. 78, generally
located at the southeast comer of 73'� Avenue and University Avenue
1.01
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 2
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, 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 OPENED AT 7:35 P.MN.
Mr. Hickok stated Tim Yocum of Yocum Oil has requested a special use permit to allow
a motor fuel operation and a car wash for the proposed development at the southeast
corner of the University Avenue and 73'� Avenue. A sign variance has also been
requested to allow an additional 40 square feet to a free-standing sign on this site.
Mr. Hickok stated the property is zoned C-2, General Business. The property is
surrounded by M-2, Heavy Industrial, to the east and southeast; some M-1, Light
Industrial, and C-2, General Business, across University; and a mix of R-2, Two Family
Residential, and R-1, Single Family Residential to the north.
Mr. Hickok stated the code requires a special use permit for an automobile service
station and motor vehicle fuel and oil dispensing services. The petitioner has made it
clear that they do not intend to operate a service station in conjunction with this
proposal. The application is for the motor vehicle fuel and oil dispensing services
section of the code. The code also requires a special use permit for a motor vehicle
wash establishment. The petitioner is proposing to construct a 1,600 square foot brick,
block, and glass drive-through car wash at the southwest corner of the sit�� Included in
the proposal is a 4,968 square foot brick, block, and glass building with a standing
seam metal roof. Taco Bell and Texaco convenience store will share the use of the
building. A canopy with 16 fuel pumping stations is also proposed
Mr. Hickok stated that in 1997, this site was rezoned from M-2, Heavy Industrial, to C-2,
General Business. At that time of the rezoning, Joel Harding of Dolphin Development
presented a site plan that was nearly identical to the current proposal. A drive-through
for Taco Bell has been proposed behind the convenience store and restaurant building.
In order to accommodate the drive-through and screen it from the neighborhood and
provide proper stacking distance for cars waiting at the menu board, the building was
moved closer to University Avenue. That distinction is different from the original site
plan by Joel Harding. �
Mr. Hickok stated a berm and landscape plan has been submitted to provide that
screening. This has been in an effort to keep this use separate from the neighborhood
to the north and to somewhat mimic the natural vegetation and conditions that currently
exist on the site.
Mr. Hickok stated no doors have been planned on the back side of the building to
eliminate the possibility of rear deliveries on site. Again, this was done to minimize the
impacts of this use on the adjacent site. However, the Building Inspection Department
may require a door for an emergency exit only.
1.02
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 _ PAGE 3
Mr. Hickok stated that the sign variance went before the Appeals Commission on June
10, 1998. A motion to approve the sign variance from 80 square feet to 120 square feet
failed by a 2-2 tie vote. Both the sign variance and the special use permit will go to the
City Council on July 13, 1998.
Mr. Hickok stated the staff is recommending that the Planning Commission approve this
special use permit with the following stipulations:
1. All signs shall be reviewed and approved by staff to assure compliance with Chapter
214 of the City Sign Code.
2. The petitioner shall submit a performance bond in the amount of 3% of the
construction costs prior to issuance of a building permit.
3. The petitioner shall install underground irrigation for the landscape areas
surrounding the site.
4. The petitioner shall comply with all outdoor storage requirements.
5. The petitioner shall comply with all outdoor sales and storage provisions of Chapter
205 of the City Code.
6. The petitioner shall install all waste trap and filtration devices as required by the
Building Code for Car Wash facilities.
7. The petitioner shall install adequate informational signage on site to assure proper
flow of traffic around the building and to assure that cars stacked waiting entrance
into the drive-through or car wash do not block circulation on site.
�
8. The petitioner shall assure that all use of the intercom on this site is for instructional
and emergency purposes only. Intercom volume shall' be set so intercom message
does not carry beyond the property.
9. All parking stall dimensions shall meet the Code required specifications.
10.A photometric lighting plan shall be submitted to allow a review of the lighting design
and allow staff to analyze impacts to the nearby residential neighborhood.
11.A11 canopy faces shall be restricted to the light from within the signs; no additional
canopy face lighting shall be permitted.
12.The car wash window openings shall be filled with glass block.
1.03
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 4
Mr. Hickok stated the building, as proposed, will sit at an angle at the northeast corner
of the site. The drive-through goes around the north side of the building and exits to a
new right-in, right-out access point onto 73'� Avenue. The drive has been landscaped
both inside and outside the drive to downplay the building and the use on the site.
Mr. Hickok stated the pump islands are in front of the convenience store with a covered
canopy. The 1,600 square foot car wash facility is located adjacent to University
Avenue on the southwest edge of the site. A holding pond is located In front of the site.
Mr. Hickok stated the building has been designed tastefully with an architectural
combination of brick and stucco. The building has a residential-style roof that helps
downplay the commercial "flat-roof' appearance and to blend better with the residential
area.
Mr. Hickok stated the car wash architecturally mimics the principal building. There are
windows on the University Avenue side of the car wash building. The proposed glass
windows are a nice architectural treatment as they break up what could be a very plain
facade. However, in reviewing this site and other sites, staff was concerned that glass
windows are very nice when they are new, but as the car wash ages, humidity is
inevitable. The windows won't stay clean; they will become foggy, taking on an
unkempt appearance. The interior of the car wash will also look very nice at first, but as
the mechanisms begin to rust, the interior of the car wash is not as presentable as it
was when it was new. For these reasons, staff is recommending (in stipulation #13)
glass block instead of the clear glass. Staff believes that glass block would still provide
the daylight and minimize the "tunnel" effect for those people who become
claustrophobic in car wash situations. Glass block would still look nice on the outside
architecturally but it would not allow the unsightliness as the car wash ages.
Ms. Savage asked about the Appeals Commission's decision on the sign variance.
Mr. Hickok stated four members were in attendance at the Appeals Commission who
discussed the sign variance from 80 square feet to 120 square feet for a combination
Taco Bell/Texaco logo, a insignia for a cash machine, and the fuel prices. Two
members voted in favor of the variance and finro members voted to deny the variance.
Mr. Tim Yocum, Yocum Oil Company, stated he is at the meeting with other family
members and partners in the development. He stated Yocum Oil is a family business,
founded in 1959 by his grandfather, and it is now owned and operated by family
members. The business they own and operate is a full service retail and convenience
distributorship. The part that is before the Planning Commission is part of their Texaco
wholesaler operation and gas/convenience operation. They own and operate seven
gas/convenience stores, and they are also a wholesaler for other dealers. They rely on
strong dealers and quality operators, and one of the people they were trying to convert
into their network was Andrea Drake, He stated Andrea Drake has been in business
since 1974 with two oil Amoco gas/ convenience/Certicare service stations/diagnostic
1.04
PI.ANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 5
centers in North Oaks and White Bear Lake. Yocum Oil operates gas/convenience
stores in Maplewood, Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, Shoreview, Turtle Lake, Wisconsin,
Cottage Grove, and one under construction in Lakeview.
Mr. Tim Yocum stated they had been working with Dolphin on a number of different
projects, and Dolphin brought this site to their attention. He stated they then tried to
take the project that had already been approved and mirror it the best they could. They
have worked with their architects and engineers to try to address any issues from the
past.
Mr. Tim Yocum stated the site was too big to take on by themselves so they started
looking for another user, and Taco Bell was interested in being a co-tenant on this
project. He stated he believed their architects have designed a building that is
consistent with what the neighborhood demands and what the consumers and traffic
along Highway 47 demand. They have tried to create a building that is very attractive,
yet be a new image which will set a new trend in the City of Fridley.
Mr. Tim Yocum stated the car wash building is also consistent with what they tried to do
with the main building. He stated there are a couple of reasons why they would like to
have clear glass instead of glass block windows n the car wash:
1. Securitv - The ability to see into the car wash provides a great advantage for them
and their customers for security reasons. Also, some customers get a.little
claustrophobic in a car wash, and it gives them a sense of security to be able to look
outside and see what is going on around them.
2. in - To drive down University Avenue and to see that there is activity in the
car wash is a very important marketing tool for them.
Mr. Tim Yocum stated that in asking their Director of Operations about glass block, his
comment was that it has been considered, but in doing their research, they found that it
mildewed too often and there was mold in the grout between the glass blocks. The
entire interior of the car wash will be built with cleanable senrices. As is typical for a lot
of car washes, they use a apoxy paint which covers the walls and provides some
protection. They are now switching over to a product called Sanitel, which is a smooth
seal-coated covering over the blocks which provides a strong protection against the
acids beyond what the apoxy paints can provide.
Mr. Tim Yocum stated they are proposing a 80 foot long car wash building, longer than
the typical 46 ft. length. The mini-tunnel car wash does provide a lot more ventilation.
Also, with the 80 feet, there is more radiant heat which controls the temperature better
and control the steam and fog. They are spending more money on the car wash for a
reason—they want to have a quality car wash and reduce the wait time for consumers.
1.05
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 6
Mr. Tim Yocum stated he would also like to address the building signage. Before going
to the Appeals Commission, he did ask their architect what is the allowable building
signage they would need if the City denied the variance. With the three street
frontages, they could have 1,300 square foot of building signage. They are proposing
around 300 square feet of building signage. For their architectural design, that is more
reasonable. They reduced the variance for the free-standing sign to reduce the clutter
of signage on the building. That also blends in with the entire site plan and landscaping
plan they are trying to create and the kind of services they are trying to provide inside
the store.
Mr. Tim Yocum stated that, typically, they have a lot of cameras inside the car wash
and the store to provide more security for their employees and customers.
Mr. Kondrick stated he liked the project. He liked the design and the brick; however, he
wondered if it would be possible to have this brick match other brick buildings along
University, such as the new Walgreen building that is being constructed, so there is
some continuiiy. Maybe this could be coordinated with staff.
Mr. Tim Yocum stated that is something that could be discussed.
Ms. Savage stated she did not necessarily agree that all the buildings had to be uniform
as far as type of brick and color.
Mr. Oquist asked Mr. Yocum if they had considered any combination of glass block and
window glass, or even frosted glass.
Mr. Tim Yocum stated they have looked at a kind of tinted window that would not show
any mildew or scum.
Mr. AI Quam, 399 - 73'� Avenue, stated he would like to see this building be consistent
with the adjacent existing developments. He would be concerned about having a door
in the back of the building. If a door is put in, the neighbors would like to see how it is
going to look. He wanted to make sure the berm in back of the building is adequately
high, adequately landscaped, and adequately maintained. A sprinkler system is not a
guarantee that the landscaping will be maintained. He wanted the assurance that
Yocum Oil will truly follow this plan and build the berms the way they are proposed. �
Northco did not do that across the street.
Mr. Oquist stated that regarding the door in back of the building, staff has explained that
the only door that might go in there is an emergency door.
Mr. Hickok stated an emergency door may be required by the building code. If a door is
required, he believed it would be a steel door and painted out so it would be
unobtrusive. It would not be used for deliveries.
1.06
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 7
Mr. Tim Yocum stated he did prepare an elevation drawing from approximately the
location of Mr. Quam's house looking down west on 73`� Avenue. This would show the
elevation of the building in relation to the street elevation. It shows the height of the
berm with landscaping on top. With the berm and the additional screening, the lights
from cars should go right into the berm.
MOTION BY Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:20 P.M.
Mr. Saba stated that he liked the project. He personally did not have any problem with
the glass windows since there is not that much glass. Since staff has recommended
the glass block, he would like to see the petitioner work with staff to try to resolve the
glass issue.
Mr. Oquist stated he would agree with Mr. Saba. This is a very well thought out project.
The landscaping plan is very nice. The only issue is the glass, and maybe there are
some alternatives that can be worked out with staff.
Mr. Kondrick stated he also agreed. It is going to be a nice project for this area.
Mr. Kuechle stated he would be willing to change stipulation #13 to state that the
petitioners should work with City staff to mitigate the problem of the windows.
Ms. Savage stated that maybe they should just leave stipulation #13 as recommended
by staff and let the petitioner and staff work this out. She also did not see the glass
windows as being a big problem. She goes to car washes a lot and she did not see the
need for that feeling of security. She did not even see the need for windows. How
does the Commission want to handle this?
Mr. Kuechle stated he would like stipulation #12 to be explicit that the petitioner has to
work out the details on the windows with City staff.
The Commissioners agreed.

BY CELLNET DATA SERVICES (MSP). INC.:
To allow wireless telecommunication facilities in an M-2, Heavy Industrial District,
generally located at 40 - 77�' Way
MOTION BY Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to open the public hearing.
1.08
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 9;
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:30 P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated CeIINet Data Services has requested a special use permit to allow
the installation of a wireless telecommunications facility on an existing electrical tower.
The tower is owned by NSP and is located on the Johnson Printing property at 40 - 77�'
Avenue. A small 4 foot by 4 foot fenced compound will be required as part of this
proposal. The property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial. The property is surrounded by
M-2, Heavy Industrial, on the east, southeast, north and across the rail line. R-3,
General Multiple, M-1, Light Industrial, and R-1, Single Family Residential zonings are
farther south across the rail line.
Mr. Hickok stated that in November 1997, the City adopted Ordinance No. 1112
regarding telecommunication towers and facilities. The ordinance identifies permitted
sites for telecommunication towers. Several sites have been identified as an overlay on
the City's zoning map. Outside of those permitted locations, towers and facilities may
be permitted in the M-1 through M-4 districts by special use permit. Ordinance No.
1112 is very specific about location, approval process, plan requirements, landscape
requirements, access drive locations, lighting, etc. The ordinance, however, will require
modification to allow the micro-cell technology that is proposed to communicate with the
master cell before the Commission at this meeting. �
Mr. Hickok stated micro-cell devices provide an automated meter reading.system for
NSP. After Ordinance No. 1112 has been modified to provide for these devices and the
controllers have been installed, the customers will have automated meter reading
mechanisms. NSP's meter readers, for a sho�t period, will continue to manually read
the meters to make sure the system is functioning properly, but this automated meter
reading system will certainly streamline NSP's process. Numerous locations have been
identified for controller devices in the City of Fridley. What is being proposed for a
special use permit is a master cell that would communicate with all these locations.
Mr. Hickok stated staff is recommending approval of this special use permit with the
following stipulations:
1. The petitioner or successors shall install and maintain the proposed equipment so
that it blends into the surrounding environment.
2. A non-corrosive finish shall be used to match the color of the existing structure.
3. The tower shall not be artificially illuminated except as required by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
4. A city staff approved landscape plan shall be filed with the City prior to issuance of a
building permit for this facility.
1.09
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 10
5. The facility shall be designed to discourage unauthorized entry.
6. A building permit shall be obtained prior to commencement of installation of any
facility equipment on this site.
7. No signs other than warning or equipment information signs are permitted as part of
this application.
8. The petitioner or successors shall initiate a text amendment to the City of Fridley's
Ordinance No. 1112 as it relates to the placement of micro-cell facilities in the
community.
Mr. Oquist asked why there is a need to modify the ordinance.
Mr. Hickok stated at the time the City adopted the ordinance, it was looking at the first
round of technology, the T-2, large tower technology, and it anticipated that T-2, the
micro-soft technology was coming. The initial surge the City got from the vendors was
the need for the tower locations. CeIINet Data Services is the first to move to the micro-
soft technology which the ordinance has not yet addressed.
Mr. Tom Frerich, CeIINet Data Services, stated the purpose of this whole entire system
was created as an extension to the existing utility system in operation today. He did not
think it was a surprise to anyone in the room that the Attorney General's Qff. ice
scrutinizes the billing practices of NSP on a monthly basis. It is a matter of public
record. He did think there has been a lot of concerns over the years in terms of
estimating bills and curbing of readings, etc. As they move forward into the 90's and
the year 2000, there are a lot of guidelines and recommendations from the MPUC
(Minnesota Public Utilities Commission), etc., recommending that utilities offer large
industrial and industrial users and individual consumers with better rate plans. All of
this is currently on a voluntary basis to the utility companies; however, in the future and
as they move toward deregulating the market, it will become more crucial, especially
with the influx of bigger players from other markets, to become the new provider of
electrical services.
Mr. Frerich stated CeIINet has entered into a contract with CeIINet to provide the type of
meter reading services they need now and in the future, for the consumer to get a fair
and accurate bill every month as well as to allow large customers better options in
terms of their billings. CeIINet offers approximately 44 individual types of rates that will
be available to NSP to use and market to the public as well as commercial and
industrial users. It allows NSP to capture data better.
Ms. Savage asked Mr. Frerich if he had any problems with the stipulations as
recommended by staff.
1.10
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 11
Mr. Frerich stated he had a problem with stipulation #8, and he would ask that this
stipulation be deleted. His reason for that is if you look at the type of service they are in
now and look at the Ordinance No. 1112, there is a gray or fuzzy area. If they take the
ordinance in accordance with Minnesota Statute 237 which is an extension of the
Telecommunications Act, it essentially allows for companies like CeIINet that are a
direct extension of a utility to be placed in an exempt status from normal
telecommunication. They find they cannot comply with that stipulation at this time.
Mr. Frerich stated Paula Beck, one of CeIINet's general counselors, could better explain
this.
Ms. Beck stated these are two separate issues and the stipulation for a text amendment
does not relate to what they are actually asking for which is a special use permit to
install 3 foot x 3 foot cell master box. Minnesota Statute 237 carves out a small group
of services that use telecommunications-type technology, but, in fact, serve utilities.
Mr. Hickok stated staff sees the finro issues as being connected. The master cell is
meant to communicate with the other cells out in the community and as far as the
interpretation of the Statute, the City's legal counsel does not concur with CeIINet's
interpretation and, therefore, has recommended that they hold fast to the modification
to Ordinance No. 1112 that would allow that technology.
Mr. Frerich stated they do acknowledge that there is some distinction or cooperative
efforts befinreen MCC and the cell master; however, they still believe these are two
distinct issues. In the large majority of the metropolitan area, NSP has represented
them at these kinds of ineetings and has been able to clearly demonstrate that CeIINet
is an extension of its services and is exempt from any special language or ordinances.
They also feel at this time that they are not prepared, other than to say they are holding
fast to Statute 237, to address the MCC issue. He represents the cell master group
and works with City Councils around the community, and he does not always handle
the micro-cell issues.
Ms. Susan Faurer, legal counsel for CeIINet, stated she just received the staff report
that day that included this stipulation, and her question was how the finro issues can be
brought together for this meeting. It is her understanding that there is a separate
application process for the text amendment.
Mr. Hickok stated a separate application for a text amendment is what is being
requested in stipulation #8. That text amendment relates to modifying Ordinance No.
1112 to include the language of the placement of micro-cell facilities in the City. In
terms of connecting the two uses or issues, there is no question that the two are
connected. He did not think anyone would dispute the fact that the micro-technology is
meant to communicate with this master cell technology. This technology would not
stand alone without the other pieces meant to communicate with it. Staff is saying the
CeIINet needs to take the technology to the next step by moving the ordinance to the
1.11
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 12
next step. Staff is certainly willing to work with them to help them understand what that
means in terms of a text amendment.
Mr. Oquist stated the Commission could go ahead and recommend approval of the
special use permit with stipulation #8 as recommended by staff, and then CeIINet and
staff can resolve that issue before the City Council. This way the two issues are
somewhat separated, but also linked, and CeIINet can move ahead with the special use
permit process.
Ms. Faurer stated it would be best if the Commission could act on the special use
permit for the cell master at this site as it was submitted, because it is useful to NSP
regardless of the installation of the MCCs. Then, they would be willing to work with staff
on City staff and legal counsel on the MCC issue.
Ms. Faurer stated she felt the issues were pretty complicated because of the
technology. But, in an effort to simplify the issues, they submitted a special use permit
for the installation of a cell master at an antenna site. The City is combining another
issue with it that is not resolved, and it is kind of complicated on a technological level.
There is also the legal issue of combining the two as well as the state law whicfi has
been raised and not been completely explored as to the actual authority to regulate
CeIINet's installation of MCCs. That is really what is complicated this. As an extension
of NSP, an argument can be made that the City has no authority to regulate the MCC
application. That argument can also be extended to the installation of the, cell master;
but without that issue resolved, the would like to get the special use permit issue
resolved first.
Mr. Hickok stated he disagreed with the separation of stipulation #8. Mr. Frerich has
stated they cannot comply with stipulation #8 and believes the installation of the cell
master may be followed by installation of the other equipment without modification to
the text. The modification to the text is very important as it relates to CeIINet's
installation of other equipment. The City needs to treat telecommunication wireless
vendors the same. Staff belieues it is very important that the master cell and the micro-
cell issues be recognized and be tied together.
Mr. Kuechle stated he would also suggest that the Commission recommend approval of
the special use permit request with stipulation #8. This would give the petitioners
almost a month to resolve the issue before the City Council meeting.
Ms. Faurer stated that stipulation #8 does not give them any guidance as to what this
ordinance amendment would even encompass.
Mr. Hickok stated stipulation #8 says that the petitioners shall apply for a text
amendment to the Ordinance No. 1112. That doesn't necessarily mean that CeIINet
would have to come up with the language, but rather City staff would modify the text to
accommodate CeIINet's facilities.
1.12
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 17, 1998 PAGE 13
Mr. Faurer stated this is a timing issue as well. They are here asking for a special use
permit for the cell master. Would they then be in a similar situation of having to petition
for a special use permit for the micro-cell facilities? Would they be starting at ground
zero again?
Ms. Savage stated the Planning Commission merely makes a recommendation to the
Council, and the Council takes the final action on July 13. So, they have from now until
July 13 to resolve that issue.
Mr. Oquist stated it is possible that the text amendment could be written so that CeIINet
would not have to ask for a special use permit for its micro-cell facilities.
Mr. Frerich stated if they use Mr. Hickok's analogy that the micro-cell controller is an
extension or is diabolically intertwined with the cell master, then, ultimately, all this falls
into one category, and they, in essence, should be addressing the language in
Ordinance No. 1112 to include not only MCCs but cell masters as an extension. They
then would not need to proceed farther with the special use permit.
Mr. Hickok stated the master cell application is on the tower and is directly related to the
language about towers and applying for special use permits in industrial districts, which
this is, and CeIINet followed the correct process for a special use permit. Staff has
been communicating with NSP since November 1997, so NSP should not,be surprised
by the fact that Fridley City staff has talked about this micro-cell text amendment since
the adoption of the ordinance. The finro issues are truly tied together, and City's legal
counsel disagrees that the MCC issue is as CeIINet staff have described it.
Mr. Frerich stated he wanted to make one more clarification. CeIINet has an agreement
with NSP to provide this service. CeIINet is also obligated to seek any approvals that
are necessary. Although NSP likes to represent themselves in the community, CeIINet
has never given NSP any written or verbal approval to speak or act on behalf of
CeIINet.
Mr. Frerich stated that regarding the timing issue addressed by Ms. Faurer, NSP has
set up the areas they want to automate, and they are waiting right now to automate
Fridley. CeIINet has contractual obligations to NSP and they either perform the
services according to NSP's schedule or file for an exemption to bypass Fridley and
either approach it closer to the year 2000 or exempt it permanently. He did not really
want to exempt Fridley when all Fridley's neighbors will have these automated services.
Mr. Hickok stated the text amendment will not happen before this special use permit
goes to City Council on July 13. The text amendment would follow the same process
as other text amendments. As long as the petitioners make the application, staff will
start the standard text amendment process.

THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:10 P.M.
Mr. Kuechle stated he would recommend that the Commission recommend approval of
the special use permit with stipulation #8 as recommended by staff. He stated there is
no question that the two issues are connected. One without the other is almost
useless. By recommending approval and requiring the text amendment, they actually
speed the process along as quickly as possible for the petitioner. This gives the
petitioners almost a month before the Council meeting to work out any details with City
staff and legal counsel.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to recommend to City Council
approval of special use permit, SP #98-09, by CeIINet Data Services (MSP), Inc, to

located at 40 - 77�' Way with the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner or successors shall install and maintain the proposed equipment so
that it blends into the surrounding environment.
2. A non-corrosive finish shall be used to match the color of the existing structure.
3. The tower shall not be artificially illuminated except as required by the Federal
Aviation Administration (FAA).
4. A city staff approved landscape plan shall be filed with the City prior to issuance of a
building permit for this facility.
5. The facility shall be designed to discourage unauthorized entry.
6. A building permit shall be obtained prior to commencement of installation of any
facility equipment on this site.
7. No signs other than warning or equipment information signs are permitted as part of

Per Section 205.07.01.C.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to allow the construction
of a second accessory structure (garage) on parts of Lot 12 and 13, Block 6,
Fridley Park, generally located at 6544 Hickory Street N.E.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 2
Mr. Tatting stated the special use permit would to allow the construction of a second
accessory building on the property. The proposed garage is 22 feet x 22 feet for an area
of 484 square feet. The garage will utilize an existing driveway on the property.
Mr. Tatting stated the property is zoned R-1, Single Family, as are the properties to the
north, east and south. To the west is R-3, General Multiple Units, and to the southwest is
Cara Auto Body which is zoned C-2, General Business.
Mr. Tatting stated the code requires a special use permit for a second accessory structure
over 240 square feet in size. The proposed garage is 484 square feet; the existing
garage 294 square feet; for a total of 778 square feet. This is below the maximum
allowed for accessory structures. The total area of the existing and proposed structures
is 2,114 square feet. The total lot coverage by the existing and proposed buildings on
this is 21.2% which is below the required maximum of 25%.
Mr. Tatting stated the proposed garage will be located in the rear yard 3 feet from the
south property line, 5 feet from the rear (west) property line, and 6 feet from the proposed
house addition. Access will be from an existing driveway which will have to be
lengthened to reach the proposed garage. This driveway will need to be paved.
Mr. Tatting stated staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following
stipulations: .
The second accessory structure shall be one story, 22 feet wide x 24 feet deep,
and meet the standards of the Fridley Zoning Ordinance and the Uniform Building
Code.
2. The second garage shall match the architectural design of the principal structure.
3. The second garage shall not be used in conjunction with a home occupation.
4. The second garage must be accessed with a pave driveway.
Mr. Tatting stated staff recommends indicating a date by which the paved driveway must
be completed. Staff does not know when construction will take place for the garage. This
can be discussed with the petitioner and an appropriate date established.
Commission members had no questions of staff.
Ms. Ambuhl stated they would like to make the garage 22 feet x 24 feet. When the
Remodeling Advisor came out, they showed it at 22 feet x 22 feet and there was 5 feet
between the garage and the property line. He let them know that there needed to be 3
feet so they thought they would take advantage of the additional 2 feet. There is an
existing driveway that goes all the way back. They have plans to put in a concrete drive
on part of it leading to the apron of the proposed garage. Currently, they have a one-car
garage and have outgrown it. This structure will be used as a garage.
2.�2
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 3
Mr. Kondrick stated adding 2 feet will result in an additional 44 square feet. How will that
affect the coverage?
Mr. Tatting stated this should not make the structure exceed any of the maximums.
Ms. Ambuhl stated they are building onto the back of their house and the garage will be
far enough away from the building addition to meet the fire codes.
Mr. Oquist asked the petitioner when they plan to complete the garage.
Ms. Ambuhl stated they plan to start construction on August 1. Prior to that, they must
have the area leveled and take out some existing bushes.
Mr. Oquist asked if the October date for the completion of the driveway would be a
problem.
Ms. Ambuhl asked if she can contact the City if there is a problem. This is scheduled to
begin August 3.
Mr. Oquist stated the Commission may want to change that to say this be completed one
month or 60 days after the garage is completed.
Mr. Kuechle suggested the wording that this be completed 60 days after the issuance of
the building permit.

BY MARGARET REED:
Per Section 205.07.01.C.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to allow the construction
of a second accessory structure (garage) on Lot 20 and 21, Block 5, Hyde Park,
generally located at 6017 - 3rd Street N.E.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Saba, to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:43
P.M.
Mr. Tatting stated the special use permit would allow the construction of a second
accessory structure on the property. The proposed detached garage is 19 feet wide x 22
feet deep for a total area of 418 square feet. The garage will utilize an existing paved
driveway that accesses 3rd Street. The property is zoned S-1, Hyde Park Neighborhood.
Mr. Tatting stated the existing garage is accessed by an alley to the back next to
University Avenue. There is a proposal to vacate that alley so the garage in the back
could not be used as garage because there would no longer be access. The code
requires a special use permit for accessory structures over 240 square feet. The total
area of accessory structures is 760 square feet, which is below the maximum
requirement. The total area of all structures is 1,500 square feet. This results in a lot
coverage of 14.8%, which is below the maximum allowed coverage.
Mr. Tatting stated the existing garage is located behind the house and the access is
through the alley. The alley is to be vacated. The existing garage can no longer be used
for vehicle storage but it can be used for other storage and other purposes: The
proposed garage will be located north of the house and does not require any variances.
A driveway exists but needs to be extended to the proposed garage. The petitioner had
indicated the style will match the existing house construction.
Mr. Tatting stated staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following
stipulations:
2.04
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 5
The second accessory structure shall be one story, 19 feet wide x 22 feet deep,
and meet the standards of the Fridley Zoning Ordinance and the Uniform Building
Code.
2. The second accessory structure shall match the architectural design of the
principal structure.
3. The second accessory structure shall not be used in conjunction with a home
occupation.
4. The second accessory structure must be accessed with a paved driveway.
Mr. Tatting stated that also in this case, a completion date for the driveway should be
indicated. Perhaps a similar statement as the previous request indicating 60 days after
issuing the building permit would be appropriate.
The Commission members had no questions of staff.
Mr. Kondrick asked the petitioner if she had objections to the stipulations.
Ms. Reed stated she had no objections.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the petitioner understood the 60-day timetable for completing the
driveway.
Ms. Reed stated her plan is that, when the foundation is run for the garage, the driveway
will be run at the same time.

3. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF LOT SPLIT REQUEST. L.S. #98-01.
BY CULLY & MICHELE SMUTZLER:
Per Section 205.07 of the Fridley Zoning Code, to allow a lot split to sell the
unused portion of the property on Lot 1, Block 2, Brookview Second Addition,
generally located at 1027 Mississippi Street.
TI N by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:50
P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioners are requesting the subdivision of Lot 1, Block 2,
Brookview Second Addition, to divide that into two lots. The new parcel would face
Brookview Drive N.E. The Smutzler home at 1027 Mississippi will remain and will simply
have a reduced size lot if the request is approved. The property is zoned R-1, Single
Family, as are the surrounding properties.
Mr. Hickok stated the minimum lot area is 9,000 square feet. As proposed, each of the
lots will exceed 9,000 square feet. The existing parcel is 26,787 square feet. The current
dimension is 107.24 feet x 250. It will be reconfigured so that Lot 1 would be 107.24 feet
by 155 feet for a total of 16,603 square feet. Newly created Lot 2 will be 107.24 feet x 95
feet for a total of 10,184 square feet. The home exists and will continue to exist on Lot 1,
the larger lot closest to Mississippi Street.
Mr. Hickok stated a variance will be required due to the location of the existing garage
relative to the new lot line. The code requires that when the rear of a corner lot has
frontage along a side street, no accessory building on a corner lot within 25 feet of the
common lot line shall be closer than 30 feet to that right-of-way provided, however, this
regulation is not to be interpreted as to reduce the buildable area of that corner lot to less
than 25 feet. The existing garage is set back less than the 25 feet spelled out in the
code. It is just over 17 feet. As such, the_garage sitting back 22.1 �feet from the right-of-
2.�6
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 7
way would also need to be moved back or a variance granted to bring this into
conformance. Another alternative is to reduce the width of the lot being requested. The
lot is somewhat larger than necessary to meet the minimum requirements. It is possible
to move the lot line back to meet the dimension. StafPs understanding is that the lot
dimensions are somewhat due to the desire to sell a lot of this size and also to due to
some mature trees on the site which affect where the lot line is placed.
Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends approval of the lot split with the following stipulations:
1. Approval of a variance for the existing garage from 30 feet to 22.1 feet.
2. Alt easements be dedicated as illustrated on staffs Exhibit A(attached).
3. A$750 park dedication fee shall be paid before the building permit is granted.
4. A$1,000 storm water fee shall be paid before the building permit is granted.
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioners have made an application for a variance. The variance
must be approved before filing at the County.
Mr. Hickok stated staff heard from one neighbor in this area who indicated concems
about how the water in the neighborhood is shed from lots back into a low area at the
back of his lot. He has asked that staff look at a grading plan for any new construction on
the new lot that would not contribute additional water to that low lying area. Staff will be
evaluating further the grading and drainage. The Commission could make that a
stipulation. Before the request goes to the City Council, staff will want to know what the
options are. It would be appropriate to add a stipulation #5 that the petitioner work with
staff on the grading plan to not contribute to the run off that already exists to any of the
back lots. This could be done by the creation of run off pattems on the site with a swale
that would run toward the street as much as possible. _
Mr. Saba asked if it would make more sense to wait until there is a proposal for a building
on the new lot before doing a drainage plan.
Mr. Hickok stated, yes. Staff would not expect that the petitioners come in with that plan
until a home plan is proposed.
Mr. Kuechle stated he did not understand why there is a need for 30 feet on the side and
the need for a variance.
Mr. Hickok stated the code requires this when a comer lot has an accessory building that
faces the street of the lot behind it, in this case the garage faces and takes access to
Brookview. For ease of visibility and to keep cars parked in the driveway out of the line of
sight as much as possible, the code requires that a garage be setback 30 feet if it is
closer than 25 feet to the side lot line. The petitioner has now reduced the size of the lot,
2.�%
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 8
moved the side lot line to within less than 25 feet of the garage causing the garage to be
set back 30 feet. If the lot line were a bit more to the north, this would not be an issue.
Mr. Kuechle asked if the normal setback is 35 feet.
Mr. Hickok stated, yes. However, on a comer lot there are special provisions in the code.
A corner lot's side yard can have the principle building as close as 17.5 feet to the side
right-of-way line. But for an accessory building, the impact is not only the garage but the
vehicles that would sit in front of it. The intent of the code was that, if the garage sits too
close to the side lot line and cars are parked in front of it, it would create a closed in feel
for the lot, in this case, to the north.
Mr. Kuechle asked if there is a problem with the 22 foot setback as well.
Mr. Hickok stated the setback is 17.5 feet on the side yard of a comer lot. The petitioner
meets the 35 foot front yard setback. Technically for a comer lot, the narrowest
dimension becomes the front regardless of which way the house faces, and they can go
to within 17.5 feet on the side 1ot.
Mr. Oquist asked who pays the two fees.
Mr. Hickok stated either party could pay the fee; however the petitioner is sajring this is
part of their cost of the subdivision. The fees must be paid before a building permit is
issued.
Ms. Smutzler stated she had no additional comments. She understands the need to wait
for the variance to go through and there is a City Council meeting for the variance and
one for the lot split. �
Mr. Kondrick stated this was correct. He asked the petitioner if she understood that by
adjusting the lot line they could eliminate the need for the variance.
Ms. Smutzler stated she understood. They want to make a larger lot. They want to keep
the lots as large as possible. The neighborhood is made up of larger lots. They thought it
would be better for the interest of the neighbors and for the person purchasing the lot. A
contractor is interested in building a house who could use the larger lot. It would make a
better size lot for the house they want to put there. .
Mr. Kondrick asked if she understood the discussion about the water drainage plan.
Ms. Smutzler stated she understood that the house that is going to be put in will not
create any additional drainage problems. It should help. The roof design should have the
water draining to the front of the house rather than to the back. Having a house there
should actually improve the drainage on that particular portion of the lot.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the petitioner had any questions or problems with the stipulations.
2.08
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 9
Ms. Smutzler stated they had been over these several times. She understands the
stipulations.
Mr. Eisenzimmer stated he is not opposed to the lot split. He is opposed to water coming
into his yard. All tf�e water from the homes comes into his backyard. If the ground does
not thaw in the spring, it floods his basement. This is something he wants to prevent from
continuing. He brought in black dirt to try to keep the water from coming in. He tore out
the sidewalk twice and replaced it. He asked the City Council for help to get this water
problem taken care of. The City said he woutd have to pay for it himself. At one time, a
street was to come down Taylor to 67th. There was to be a storm sewer coming down
through that. There is a sanitary sewer in the comer which is the only sewer that is in
there. There is no way to get the water out of there. There is a home to be razed at
1015. If they were to build up that backyard, raise the backyard on the lot where the
house is to be built and put in a swale going toward 67th, that would help eliminate some
of the water. Otherwise, he is going to have to build a berm along the backyard so the
water does not come through there. If he cannot get the City to do something with this,
he will built a cement wall around it, three feet high, and let the water go into other
people's basements.
Mr. Eisenzimmer stated he has lived there for 18 years and his basement has been
flooded twice. He cannot leave the house from January until after the thaws because,
when it thaws, it floods. If it thaws and the ground if frozen, he will get 8 inches of water
in his yard. He has already put in swales to get the water to go around but it still comes
in. He believes that when these two homes are worked on, they could do something
together so the water can run off or install a storm sewer. Right now, he gets all the water
from the neighbors' yards. There are 6 homes where the water comes through his yard.
He wants the water problem corrected before putting in more buildings.
Mr. Kondrick stated that with the new lot, the people buying the lot have to be concemed
that they cannot have any more or less water than what drains from there now leave that
property. Regarding the other situations, the comments are on record and will be
forwarded to the City Council. He would imagine that the engineering staff as well will
take a look at this. The Planning Commission is concemed with the lot split. In the
future, if a home is built on that property, those people have to make certain they do not
tamper with the flow of water toward his house.
Mr. Eisenzimmer stated he understood that. It is just that he has had this problem for
years. If he has to build berms or put in a concrete wall to prevent the water from coming
in there, then that is what they are going to have to do.
Mr. Saba stated it is one thing for rainstorm type drainage and it is another thing when
there is no seepage into the ground.
Mr. Eisenzimmer stated, in the winter, the water comes up. The pressure from the water
breaks out the windows in the basement. He is at the meeting because they are going to
be working in this area, and he would like something to be done.

DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:15
P.M.
Mr. Kuechle stated he would like to see a stipulation that a workabie drainage plan be
required before the lot split is approved. If the lot split is approved, then the lot exists and
there is no leverage to get a workable drainage plan. He would be in favor of having a
stipulation that a workable drainage plan be demonstrated before the lot split is approved.
There are not that many places where you can put a foot print for a house on that lot that
you ought not be able to demonstrate.
Mr. Saba agreed, especially with the concems about the drainage. There are two
drainage concems - stormwater run off and thawing when the ground is still frozen.
Mr. Oquist stated he agrees except that this property does not necessary contribute to
that drainage. The drainage seems to come in from behind.
Mr. Kuechle stated they are not stipulating that they have to solve the problem for the
area, but that they cannot add to it.
Mr. Kondrick asked if that happens automatically. -
Mr. Kuechle stated he thought it needs to be stipulated. Otherwise you end up with a lot
and it becomes very tough to stop anyone from building there.
Mr. Kondrick stated Mr. Hickok feels confident that for this lot the water problem can be
handled. He has no problem with the additional stipulation for drainage.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to recommend approval of Lot Split,

1. Approval of a variance for the existing garage from 30 feet to 22.1 feet.
2. All easements be dedicated as illustrated on staff s Exhibit A(attached).
3. A$750 park dedication fee shall be paid before the building permit is granted.
4. A$1,000 storm water fee shall be paid before the building permit is granted.

BY MERVIN J. HERRMANN:
Per Section 205.07.01.C.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to allow the construction
of a second accessory building at the property on Lot 2, Block 2, Sylvan Hills Plat
#4, generally located at 278 Mercury Drive.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:20
P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated the special use permit would allow the construction of a second
accessory building. The garage would be 14 feet x 24 feet deep, a total of 336 square
feet. The building will be 14 feet in height at its peak. A special use permit is required for
accessory buildings over 240 square feet except for the first accessory building. The
proposed second accessory structure will be used for storage and will not have a
driveway.
Mr. Hickok stated the subject parcel is located south of Mercury Drive. The property is
zoned R-1, Single Family, as are the surrounded parcels. There is sufficient area to place
this proposed storage shed to meet all of the setback requirements. No variances will be
required.
Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following
stipulations:
1. 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.
2. The building shall match the architectural design of the principal structure.
3. A second driveway/curb cut shall not be created on this property.
4. The accessory building shall not be utilized for a home occupation.
2.11
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 12
The Commission members had no questions of staff.
Mr. Herrmann stated one stipulation stated one story. That does not mean that he cannot
have storage trusses to hold it together and he wants to have something to store picnic
tables, etc., in winter. On the drawing, it shows the building is 10 feet from the lot line.
Does he need to be 10 feet from the building to the west? His neighbor has a similar
building and wants this to be closer so, if someone else occupies the property, they would
not be able to park something between the buildings.
Mr. Hickok stated that if there are easements along that lot line, they would need to stay
out of the easements. The building code states they do need to keep two buildings like
this at least 6 feet apart. If they are closer, they will need a fire wall. There might be
some latitude to move the structure closer. If the distance is 6 feet or less, they would
need to put sheet rock on the inside walls. The setbacks for accessory structures in the
rear yard can be as close as 3 feet.
Mr. Herrmann stated the rear lot line has a 5 foot easement so they need to keep 5 feet
away. They would stay at least 10 feet from the building.
Mr. Kondrick asked if Mr. Herrmann understood the stipulations.
Mr. Herrmann stated, yes. He understands that he has to be at least 6 feet'and they will
be more than that.

BY HILLTOP TRAILER SALES:
Per Section 205.15.01.C.(3) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to allow the selling and
displaying of recreational vehicles on Lots 2 and 3, Block 2, East Ranch Estates
22nd Addition, except the east 200 feet of the south 204 feet of Lot 3, generally
located at 7810 University Avenue N.E.
MOTI N by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Saba, to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:28
P.M.
Mr. Hickok stated the special use permit would allow the display and sales of recreational
vehicles on the Lupient Used Car site at 7810 University Avenue. The pro�Sosal is to
modify the parking lot and reuse the building for vehicle showroom and repair service.
Mr. Hickok stated a special use permit is required for the sale and display of recreational
vehicles not within an enclosed structure. The proposed site and building are currently
used for automobile sales and service. Improvements to the parking lot including adding
landscaped islands are planned. The proposed display areas will have large landscaped
areas of shade and omamental trees. Hilltop Trailer Sales would like to create an
atmosphere for selling its recreational vehicles that "creates an image and character
reminiscent of the north woods".
Mr. Hickok stated the subject parcel is zoned C-3, General Shopping Center. The
proposed use is appropriate for a C-3 district. To the north and south is C-3, General
Shopping, zoning. To the west is M-2, Heavy Industrial. To the east across University
Avenue is the City of Spring Lake Park and a mix of commercial uses.
Mr. Hickok stated the parking is proposed to be 68 spaces for customer parking and 32
spaces as proof of parking. The petitioner's experience in the current location leads them
to believe that 68 spaces would more than adequately serve their customer needs on
their busiest days. If not, the City can require the petitioner and the petitioner will install
the additional parking spaces needed.
Mr. Hickok stated the current parking lot has curb and gutter installed in certain locations
in the parking lot. However, parking setbacks have not been met.
2.13
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 14
Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following
stipulations:
1. Parking of 68 customer spaces be allowed, with 32 spaces shown for future
parking if needed.
2. The site plan be revised to meet the parking setback requirements.
3. Curb and gutter be installed in the display and parking areas, including around the
landscaped islands.
4. Additional landscaping be approval by City staff prior to issuance of building
permits.
5. The existing fence be open or able to be knocked down for emergency vehicle
access.
6. The flags and banners, other than the large American flag, be removed.
7. The building be adequately ventilated for spray paint and/or other service
processes.
8. All trash and trash handling equipment must be in closed containers.
9. Any outdoor storage beyond the proposed camper sales will require an additional
special use permit.
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner has provided a brochure explaining their history and
products which is available for review by the Commission and the public.
Mr. Hickok reviewed the site plan. The display areas are set away from the drive aisles
so that in the event of an emergency, vehicles could get in quickly and easily. On the
north and south of the building are the landscaped areas that are designed to mimic the
"north" and give people the sense of a more natural feel to the display area. The
petitioner has provided a colored rendering for the front of the site as the site is
developed. The petitioners plan to spruce up the site and to provide additional landscape
materials. The lighting has been reviewed and is adequate. It was designed for
automobile sales and from a security standpoint is appropriate.
Mr. Kondrick asked if there is any way to regulate the number of units that can be
displayed.
Mr. Hickok stated the units are planned to be displayed in those landscaped areas and on
the hard surface. They could mandate a certain number. In talking with the petitioner, it
is staff s impression that in order to really show their products well they like to keep
distance between the units so the folks can back up and take a look at it. It is their
2.14
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 15
intention to utilize the site in a manner that keeps them spaced properly, to give people a
chance to look at them, and not to overly inundate the site with inventory. If the
Commission feels it is appropriate, they can come to a determination of a maximum
number if you feel that is necessary.
Mr. Kondrick stated the petitioner will be selling and will need an inventory. Where will
that inventory be kept?
Mr. Hickok stated guest parking is close to University Avenue. As you enter the lot, you
will start to enter the display area. The landscaped areas are the introduction into the
camper sales. Back beyond that, additional units would be lined up neatly at a distance
apart so they are not cramped. There is also an area for proof of parking and a ponding
areas at the back.
Mr. Dick Pearo stated Hilltop Trailer Sales has been located in the City of Hilltop since
1951. His father started the business there. The current site is approximately 2.75 acres,
and they have outgrown that space. The site on University is just under 6 acres and
gives them more room. They try to have neat displays but they do not have enough
room. Part of the reasor� to move is to have better outside displays and displays inside.
Mr. Kondrick asked if they understood the stipulations.
Mr. D. Pearo showed a picture of the current location.
Mr. Oquist asked if this was typical of the number of units that would be seen at the
University site.
Mr. D. Pearo stated yes. One would see more pop up tent trailers in the closed position
in the back. They would be more out of site because there is more landscaping around
that area.
Mr. Jerry Pearo stated they are a non-motorized recreational vehicle dealer. They sell
travel trailers, fifth wheels, park-type trailers, and tent campers which is the product they
probably sell the most. Tent campers are sometimes not conducive to have up in a
display position outside because of the nature of the beast. They have a canvas top with
soft sides. They cannot take a snow load in the winter. This is another thing that
precipitated the move because they could go inside to display those products and also
display them year around. As far as storage of those, they sell the Coleman tent camper
and Jayco which are the number 1 and 2 nationally best selling brands. As far as the
storage, they would be stored in the area to the rear. Because of the nature of their
business, manufacturers cannot make enough product for May, June and July. Dealers
have to buy and have incentives to buy year around. Now, they will be buying 1999
products from now through December. They do not sell a volume at that time, but come
next spring they have to have products serviced and ready to go. Products would be
2.15
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 16
displayed in the building, and they would have the same product available and stored
outside.
Mr. Kondrick asked the petitioners if they felt the provisions they have on the property for
security in terms of fencing will not be a problem.
Mr. D. Pearo stated it should not be. Their existing lot is not totally fenced. They have
some problems but have not had major problems. He felt this would be a better area as
far as vandalism. They are currently in a residential area where there is the opportunity
for more problems.
Mr. D. Pearo stated they talked with staff earlier about the parking setbacks. The
property already has curb and gutter. They were uncertain about the setback as far as
the existing curbing. They have no problem with the landscaping. Complying with
setbacks would be an expense and hardship if they had to take out the curb on the north
side of the property and move it in three or four feet. They could outline the parking and
keep it back.
Mr. Hickok stated Mr. Tatting had mentioned that. The setbacks that apply to this site are
5 feet on the side and rear lines and 20 feet on the front. Similar to Friendly Chevrolet,
when the use changes or expands, they need to look at the setbacks and either have
them corrected to the setback standards or apply for a variance to recognize �and accept
there is something less than the standard setback. The petitioner has the option of
applying for a variance to the setback standards.or to change the existing setbacks to
comply with code requirements.
Mr. Oquist asked where these areas were.
Mr. Tatting stated there are areas in the front and on the side. A portion of the front is
setback 20 feet. Continuing to the north, however, the parking lot is 12 feet from the
property line and should be 20 feet. The same is true for Main Event and this site. The
green area along their common property lines is 5 feet wide and the requirement is 10
feet.
Mr. D. Pearo stated he believed it would mainly be the side by Main Event. Also, it
creates a problem in front of the building. If they move that back 5 feet, they would have
no parking.
Mr. Tatting stated they would require 25 feet for the driving aisle and 20 feet for the stalls
for a total of 45 feet. If that was moved, there is no area for parking. The site was
created like this in 1975.
Mr. Oquist stated staff stated the 20 foot setback was only at the south end. Is there a
setback problem in front of the building?
2.16
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 17
Mr. Hickok stated, yes. It is closest to meeting the 20 feet toward the south. As you
move closer to the north and the bend in the road, the lot line is skewed a bit so that it
becomes more of a problem in that area. In front of the building, the setback is less than
20 feet. One option to consider is a one-way circulation and 60 degree parking. There
may be an opportunity to get a narrower drive aisle, presenre the parking and achieve the
required setback. Staff can evaluate that further.
Mr. Kondrick stated there is no room on the north side of the property.
Mr. Hickok stated it appears that it is that side particularly where it probably has 1.5 to 2
feet. They share a 5-foot green space curb-to-curb with the property to the north. Both'
properties may have an issue there. Unfortunately, this is the property in question to
change the use.
Mr. J. Pearo stated that in lieu of the curb and gutter that is in already, the parking spaces
could be moved 5 feet over from the existing curb and gutter, stripe the lot accordingly so
it ends up with the that distance left.
Mr. Kuechle stated the idea of a setback is to get green space. They are not going to get
much by doing that. Without the green space, they do not meet the requirements. He
thought that had to happen. The petitioner must either meet the requirement or request a
variance.
Mr. D. Pearo stated he thought they could work with the front without too great of a
hardship but the north would need to change along the property line and would be a
major issue.
Mr. Kuechle agreed. It will be expensive. If the petitioner is changing it, it should be
changed right. -
Mr. J. Pearo stated they could leave the green space in the front and put the parking
some place else. They need finro handicapped spaces. They could those elsewhere and
lose 10 sites across the front and leave it because the curb and gutter is in place already.
Mr. Kuechle stated that does not help much because the blacktop or whatever is there
needs to be set back. Just to take the parking out is not going to meet the requirements.
The curb would have to be moved.
Mr. D. Pearo stated they are adding 3,500 square feet of additional green space to the
property. Does that offset the effect?
Mr. Hickok stated, no. They do not have the authority outside of the variance process to
approve that. Those kind of things will contribute when requesting a variance. In this
arena, they do not have the ability to say something else is appropriate.
2.17
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 18
Mr. J. Pearo stated the other issue would be that they proposed a future expansion. They
talked about initially needing to change some things on this building to adhere to what
they would like to do. On the back side of the building in the service area, they need to
replace and add some doors and would need a permit to do that. Because of the time of
the year and the permit stipulates that the landscaping must be approved, they need a
certain amount of time to clean the property up, etc. The landscaping would probably
need to wait until spring but they would like to have a building permit to put in the doors
for the service bays.
Mr. Hickok stated it is standard practice to require a performance bond. The landscaping
plan would suffice in this case. They are now looking for a plan. After the materials are
installed, staff will go out to make sure it is installed as per plan.
Mr. D. Pearo asked how the variance process worked and if this was something that was
feasible.
Mr. Hickok stated the next deadline to request a variance is July 17. That would put them
on the Appeals agenda for August 12 and the City Council agenda for August 24. The
petitioners were asked to talk with staff for more information about filling out an
application. �

Per Section 205.17.03.C.(1 a) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to increase the allowable
lot coverage by a single story structure in an M-2 zone from 40% to 50%, on the
south 284 feet of the west 460 feet of the NW 1/4 of the SW 1/4 of Section 2, TWP

notice and to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 9:03
P.M.
Mr. Tatting stated the special use permit would allow a proposed building to cover 49% of
a lot. The lot is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, and is 107,182 square feet in area. The
proposed one story building is 52,417 square feet in size. The uses in the building will
include warehousing, manufacturing and offices. The site is presently vacant.
Mr. Tatting stated the code indicates that, with a special use permit, a one story building
in an M-2 district may cover up to 50% of a lot. The code allows up to 40% coverage. To
go over that amount requires a special use permit. The petitioner shall prove that all
other ordinance requirements are met including but not limited to parking and stormwater
management.
2.19
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 20
Mr. Tatting stated the property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial. To the east, south and
west is also M-2, Heavy Industrial. To the north is M-1, Light Industrial. The site is
located at the northeast comer of 79th and Main Street.
Mr. Tatting stated a special use permit is required to increase the lot coverage in excess
of 40%. The proposed building will meet all the required setbacks. The west drive aisle
is 24 feet wide. It can be expanded to meet the 25-foot requirement. An area of green
space measuring 6 feet could be reduced by 1 foot to meet the required 25 feet. The
building setback from the east drive aisle can be decreased from 24 feet to 19 feet and
meet code. It is designated as a one-way drive aisle and can be 18 feet, and could
create a 5 foot setback.
Mr. Tatting stated the landscape plan shows 53 trees on site. 56 full size trees are
required due to the floor area of the building. The total floor area is larger than the
footprint because of a second story office area. The new landscape plan would be
required to show 56 trees.
Mr. Tatting stated the loading dock on the north side are correctly place in the side yard
but are not screened from Main Street. Fencing should be placed along the north
property line to screen the doors from Main Street.
Mr. Tatting stated the City have been supplied with basic grading and drainage plans.
Detailed plans will need to be provided and approved by the City engineers before
issuance of a building permit.
Mr. Tatting stated the parking plan indicates 61 parking stalls. Offices will use 6,000
square feet; manufacturing 16,445 square feet, and warehousing 38,372 square feet.
Based on these uses, the required parking is 79 parking stalls. The parking plan is
deficient. To meet the parking requirement, additional parking stalls need to be
generated or the office and/or manufacturing space needs to be reduced. Otherwise, the
site must receive a variance.
Mr. Tatting stated the plans indicate that the building will be made of precast walls. A
color scheme has not been set. An additional stipulation could be added for the scheme
that the City staff should approve the exterior of the building before the building permit is
issued.
Mr. Tatting stated staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the following
stipulations:
1. The number of parking stalls at the site shall either conform to the City Code or
receive a variance from the City Code prior to issuance of a building permit.
2. A landscape plan for the site shall be approved by the City prior to the issuance of
a building permit.
2.2�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 21
3. The drive aisle widths and distances to the building shall conform with the City
Code.
4. Grading and drainage plans and drainage calculations for the site shall be
approved by the City Engineers prior to the issuance of a building permit.
5. Exterior surfaces of the building shall be approved by staff before the issuance of a
building permit.
Mr. Tatting stated the parking is an important issue to be solved before the special use is
given. If 40% of the lot is covered, the building would be reduced so they would have
more space for parking. Much of the manufacturing equipment is automated so there
would not be as many employees. Parking may not be an issue. However, the variance
process would review that.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the only way was to reduce the size of the building.
Mr. Tatting stated that in the present configuration, there is no room on the east, north or
west sides. On the south side, they need the current space for drainage. With the
present configuration, they could not increase the parking from what is proposed.
Mr. Oquist stated they talked about a fence on the north side. Is that part of fhe
landscape plan.
Mr. Tatting stated, yes.
Mr. Maertens stated there is no problem with parking. They realize there can be a
reconfiguration. Approval of the special use permit gives them the option to reconfigure
or apply for a variance.
Mr. Fugelsang stated they can make some adjustments by reducing the amount of office
space.
Mr. Tatting that would make it closer to the parking requirement.
Mr. Fugelsang stated they currently have 52 employees. He doesn't think parking will be
a problem for the operation but they realize the need to conform.
Mr. Kondrick asked if they had any problem with the stipulations.
Mr. Maertens stated the only question they have regards the fencing for the loading
docks. What does that mean? If some additional trees would meet the requirement, that
is no problem. He thought that would be more aesthetic than a fence.
Mr. Saba stated he felt landscaping might be more appropriate for the site.
2.21
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JULY 15, 1998 PAGE 22
Mr. Tatting stated this can be worked out with the landscape plan.

landscaped islands and reducing the overall amount of pavement by 3,500 square feet. T'he
display areas are proposed to include a large landscaped space, with shacle and ornamental
trees.
Parking is proposed to be 68 spaces, with 32 additional "proof of parking" spaces to meet the
requirements.
Subsequent to the Planning Commission meeting, representatives of Hilltop Trailer were able
to locate an ALTA Survey that was prepared for this site by a surveyor for jim Lupient. The
ALTA Survey shows the as-built conditions and verifies that current parking setbacks are
adequate. However, stipulation #2 can remain as recommended by the Commission
regarding parking setbacks. Staff would prefer to have a revised site plan that is
dimensioned and accurately reflects site conditions, including the parking setback
dimensions.
PLANIVING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission recommend approval with 9 stipulations (contained in body of report).
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Concur with the Commission recommendation.

Comments:
trimming and cleaning up the existing landscape materials, repairing the
underground irrigation system, cleaning out the rear catch basin and
repairing the sink hole and rear curb. The existing lights in the display
lot will remain and have been deemed adequate for security.
Additional landscaping will include Douglas Fir, Birch, Maple Ash,
Amur Maple, Hawthorne and Crabapple trees. Shrubs will be
Dogwood, Potentilla and Anthony Waterer Spirea. The display areas
will be landscaped with trees, shrubs will be added around the border of
the site and "colorful perennials" will be scattered around the site.
The 25 foot wide fire lane around the building will remain as required by
City code. There is an existing fence that crosses the fire lane in two
areas. This fence should be able to be knocked down in case of an
emergency. City code requires that curb and gutter be installed azound
the perimeter of the site and around the landscaped islands
[205.15.05(3)].
Parking is required at a ratio of 1 space per 200. For the existing building
of 19,758 square feet, 99 spaces are required. Hilltop believes 68 spaces
will meet the needs of their customers. Section 205.15.05 A allows for a
reduction of parking stalls when "the particular nature of the proposed
use or other considerations" make it an unnecessary hardship. Hilltop
shows where the additional spaces could be built on the site in the
future, should it become necessary.
Parking setbacks are 20 feet in the front and 5 feet on the sides. These
parking setback do not appear to be met. With some adjustments, the
parking setbacks can be met within the site. _
The zoning and the Comprehensive Plan are consistent in this location.
To be taken.

REQUEST
Hilltop Trailer Sales Inc. is requesting a special use permit to allow the display and sales of
recreational vehicles on the Lupient Automobile sales site at 7810 University Avenue. The
proposal is to modify the parking lot and reuse the building for vehicle service.
SITE DESCRIPTION/HISTORY
The site is currently owned and operated for Lupient's Used Car sales. A 19,758 square foot
building exists on the site, as well as a large automobile display area and a fenced vehicle

Zoning: C-3, General Shopping
Zoning: M-2, Heavy Industrial
Land Use: Small retail operations

A special use permit is required for agencies selling or displaying recreational vehicles. In
reusing this building and site, several improvements are proposed. The building and
lighting will remain as they currently exist on the site, and should not pose any problems.
The building may be cosmetically improved, but will essentially remain as is, with the
potential for expansion in the future. Circulation on the site will remain as is. The existing
fence should be able to be knocked down in the case of an emergency.
The proposed site improvements will provide more green space and more landscaping,
providing shade for customers and less runoff to the storm sewer system. An irrigation
system is in place, and will be repaired to ensure that the existing and new landscape
materials will thrive. The existing large American flag will remain; the other banners and
flags, which are starting to show wear, will be removed.

Fewer parking spaces than required are proposed. Hilltop believes that 68 spaces will be
sufficient and has shown where additional spaces could be located, should it become
necessary. This demonstration of available space on site is satisfactory, as the business
owners likely have a good understanding of their needs, and will be motivated to provide
the additional parking spaces to serve their customers, when needed.
Required parking setbacks are 5 feet on the sides and 20 feet in the front. The site plan needs
to be revised to meet these requirements.
PLAN1vING CONIMISSION RECOMNIENDATION
The Planning Commission recommended approval with the following stipulations:
1. Parking of 68 customer spaces be allowed, with 32 spaces shown for future parking
if needed.
2. The site plan be revised to meet the parking setback requirements.
3. Curb and gutter be installed in the display and parking areas, including around the
landscaped islands.
4. Additional landscaping be approved by City Staff prior to issuance of building
pernlits.
5. The existing fence be open or able to be knocked down for emergency vehicle
access.
6. The flags and banners, other than the large American flag, be removed.
7. The building be adequately ventilated for spray paint and/or other service
processes.
8. All trash and trash handling equipment must be in closed containers.
9. Any outdoor storage beyond the proposed camper sales will require an additional
special use permit.

Staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Cominission recoxnmendation.

The Maertens-Brenny Construction Company is requesting a special use permit to allow a proposed
building to cover 49% of the lot. The lot is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial and is 107,182 square feet in
area. The proposed one-story building is 52,417 square feet in size with a total building floor area of
55,417 squaze feet. The industry that will occupy the building is Metal-Tek, Inc. The uses in the
building will include warehousing, manufacturing and offices.

Section 205.17.03.C.(la) indicates that with a special use permit, a one story building in an M-2
District may cover up to 50% of a lot. A special use permit is not required if the lot coverage by a
single story structure is 40% or less.

The proposed building meets all of the required setbacks from property lines for the M-2 District.
�� ' : ' � �
The drive aisle in the west parking lot is only 24 feet in width. The City Code requires 25 feet. This
can be remedied by expanding the drive aisle one foot to the east. The distance from the building to
the pazking lot is shown as 6 feet, but can be reduced to 5 feet.
, � � � • � � � • �
A five foot distance between a paved surface and a building is required. The plan for the east end of
the building does not show this. The drive aisle is one-way and the required width is 18 feet. The
actual width shown in the drawing is 24 feet. By reducing the drive aisle width to 19 feet, a 5 foot
distance between the building and the drive aisle could be created.

The overall parking plan for the site indicates 63 parking stalls. Two of these stalls are too close to the
southwest property line, therefore, the total number of stalls is 61. Three different types of uses will
occur at the site, warehouse, manufacturing and offices. The number of requued stalls per use at the
site is as follows:
Offices: 3000 sq. ft. / 250 =12 required parking stalls
Manufacturing: 30% of remaining space: 14, 825.1 sq. ft. / 400 = 37 required parking stalls
�. -�• �� 1'� • '��. �_�' y�. - � • • . � 111 : -� -� •._,_�•
TOTAL number of required stalls = 67. An additional 18 stalls aze required.
Using the speculative pazking ratio of 1 stall per 500 sq. ft. of area, the number of stalls that would be
required are 111. (55,417 / 500 =110.8)
The petitioner has indicated that much of the manufacturing process is automated. Their present
business employs 52 workers on 3 shifts. The proposed parking is probably adequate for their needs,
but the code requires the additional parking. If the building were to be used in a more labor intensive
industry, the proposed parking may not be adequate. �
At the Planning Commission meeting, Joel Maerten of Maerten-Brenny, indicated that the office space
proposed for the site would be reduced from 6000 square feet to 3000 square feet. This will reduce the
required parking by 12 stalls. This change has been shown in the calculations above. Presently, the site
plan show 61 stalls, whereas 67 are required. Modifications in the site plan may enable the site to
provide the required number of parking stalls without the need for a variance.
--�� .- ' _r.
The landscape plans indicates that 53 trees will be planted at the site. The requirement is either one
tree per 1000 sq. ft. of building or one tree per 50 feet of perimeter, (which ever is greater).
Total bldg. floor area is 55,417 sq. ft. / 1000 = 55.4 trees or 56 trees.
The perimeter is 1346 feet•/ 50 = 27 trees.
Due to the area of the building, 56 trees are required. Therefore, the plan is deficient 3 trees.
If the proposed office space at the site is reduced from 6000 square feet to 3000 squaze feet, as
indicated a the Planning Commission meeting, the calculation for the number of required trees may
also change. To determine the number of required trees, City staff will have to know the actual area of
total building floor space.

MEMORANDUM
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: July 20, 1998 �/
- a
TO: William W. Burns, City Manager �
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Temporary Mobile Home at Totino Grace High School
Background
Totino Grace has applied for a license for the temporary location of a mobile home/
house trailer at Totino Grace High School at 1350 Gardena Avenue NE. The purpose
of the mobile home is to house finro District 14 employees to provide student guidance
services. This activity was previously located in the City owned A framed_.building
adjacent to Innsbruck Park on Arthur Street. The trailer is occupied during regular
school hours between 7:30 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. when school is in session. Minnesota
State Law requires that this type of service be provided on a separate site not
associated with the public school building. Brother Milton Barker, in his letter dated July
13, 1998, has also advised that they are attempting a law change which would make
appropriate space allocations for these employees into the Totino Grace School
building.
As a result they are requesting permission to keep the mobile home until July 12, 1999.
Recommendations
Staff recommends the Council approve the license to permit the mobile home on the
Totino Grace property until July 12, 1999. If the change to the legislation is not
accomplished, the Council will then review a renewal of the license request.

Deaz Ms. Dacy,
I am writing to you relative to the form "Application for Parking/Occupying a
• House Trailer" that you sent to me at Totino-Grace High School. We have
completed the application and wish to inform you of the reasons for the existence of
the trailer and its use.
Minnesota State Law makes provisions for several rypes of services to be provided
Totino-Graee zo non-puolic �cnooi studen�s. r�mong tnese is Stucien[ Guidance Services.
High School According to State Law, these services may not be provided in the non-public
school building, but must be provided in a separate site. Prior to the 1997-98
1350 Gardena Avenue NE school year, Independent School District 14 leased property in a city-owned A
Fridley, Minnesota frame building adjacent to the nature park on Arthur Street next to our campus.
55432-5899 When the City abandoned that building and razed it, it became necessary to look for
another site in which the Fridley Public Schools could deliver the State-mandated
612 571-9116 services. After a very thorough study of options, it was decided that the District
Fax 612 571-9118 would lease a mobile trailer and house its two employees, who provided services to
Totino-Grace High School students, in that trailer. For the 1997-98 school year,
these employees of District 14 have been housed in the trailer leased by the District
from Hilltop Trailer and occupy that space during the regulaz school hours (7:30
a.m. - 2:00 p.m.) on days school is in session. NSP provides electrical service to
the trailer, and because it is simgly two offices and a cazeer center, there aze no
water or sewage services available or necessary. Staff inembers and students use
bathroom facilities in the school building.
During this past session, there was legislation enacted that may make it possible for
Guidance Services provided by District 14 to be delivered in the Totino-Grace
building. During the next year, we want to clarify this legislation and make
appropriate space allocations to move District 14 employees into our school
building providing vve are within the limits of the law. _
At the present time, we foresee Lhe current mobile trailer to continue in
Therefore, we are requesti� a license for one year— e
mobile trailer.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely,
��,� �

MEMORANDUM
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: July 23, 1998 �
TO: William Burns, City Manager ��
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Approve a Proposal for Comprehensive Plan Project and Authorize
Execution of Comprehensive Plan Contract
Background
Staff requested proposals from three planning consulting firms to complete the City's
Comprehensive Plan. The three firms that were solicited are planning firms that have
completed work in the City and are familiar with the issues facing first ring metro area
communities. The three firms are Hoisington Koegler Inc., Sho�t Elliot Hendrickson,
and SRF Consulting Group Inc.
AnalXsis
An in-house committee consisting of the Housing Coordinator, Planning Coordinator,
Assistant Public Works Director, and the Community Development Director, reviewed
and scored the proposals. The proposal submitted by Hoisington Koegler Inc., was
selected as the best proposal. Not only was the proposal the lowest cost, it also
proposed a strong team of specialized consultants who are familiar with Fridley's
issues. Ma�eld Research Group will be working on the housing chapter; Ma�eld
Research Group completed a housing market need analysis for the City in 1991.
Bonestroo, Rosene, Anderlik & Assoc., Inc., will complete the sewer, water, and assist
with the transportation chapters. As you are aware, the Bonestroo firm is very familiar
with the City's water and sewer facilities and is currently conducting the infiltration and
inflow study for the Public Works Department.
A summary of the proposals is provided below:

1. HKGi proposal includes attendance at five public meetings, mileage expenses, plus a rental rate survey.
2. S.E.H. proposal in "Miscellaneous" category includes five public meetings, finalizing draft plan, and mileage
and expenses.
3. SRF proposal does not include rental rate survey. "Miscellaneous" category includes cost of public
meetings.
Value Added Services .
The request for proposal asked the consultant to include costs for at least five public
meetings, which would be determined by the City (either additional public information or
public hearing meetings). Mark Koegler has suggested some additional services which
staff recommends the Council evaluate once the consultant is deeper into the process.
The services include additional public meetings and additional land use and urban
design work. As the City moves through the process, different (or similar) issues may
arise which would dictate a different scope of work. It may be best to wait on these
services.
Note that the Hoisington Koegler proposal emphasizes work expenditures which are in
line with the City's priorities of housing, land use, and implementation. The proposal
cost is also $2,250 below the $65,000 allocated in the 1998 and 1999 budgets.

Recommendation
Staff recommends the City Council approve the proposal submitted by Hoisington
Koegler Group Inc., and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract for
completion of the Comprehensive Plan in an amount not to exceed $62,570.
The full proposal has been forwarded to the Council under separate cover since it is
lengthy. The attached documents are excerpts from the proposal.

ac.counting o� issues that may impact the plan or need to be addressed in the �lan. The
meeting allows hey stAPf inembers to have access to the planning process allowing them

1. Identify G/O/S
2. The City tuiopted an updated Chaptcr in 1994; review City file
Update sewer flows to reflect revised population, }�ousehold, and employment projec-
lions. E.�cisting wastewater flows and current populaiioa will be used to detern�ne
per wpita wastewater generation. When multiplied by future po�ulation, the per
capita w�stewater generation figures will predict future wastewater flo.v The ft�-
tuce wastewater flow projection will then be adjusted downward by anticipated
reductions ia in�iltration/'mttow
'Wastewater flow rates will also be adjusted upward or duwnward based on antici-
puted increases or decrcases resulting from inereased or decreased water usage
for commerci8l, industrial and institutional put�pases. The wastewater �ow projec-
tioas wiU meet 11�eiropolitan Council Tier 1 requ�rements,
4. lnterview Public Works Director to quantify the likely extent of futuce in5ltration/
inflow effo�ts. The findings of the infiltratio�nflotiv analysis to date �ndicate tbat a

MCES. After corr�rtion Por this, the in�ltratio�aflow prohlem is not as great as
was originally thought.

for reducing and preven�ing the pzoblem. The City has already completed a
sump pump insgection/removal pragram for selected areas. In addition, cor-
roded corrugated metal pipe (CMP) sanitary se�vec bas been replaccd or lined
to reduce infiltrationlinflow. The MCES has installed new continuous record-
ing nneters at Meters 108 and 109. The ncw meters have eaiminated over�
billir�� and reduced the perceived volume of inFitration/inflow. I�Itratian/
inflow sources identi�ed during the in6ltration linflow az�alysis will be evatu-
ated to determine cast of remediation. In conjunction with the previaus task,
infiltration/inflow sources will be desiganated for retnedi�tion and the associ-
�ted costs �nd flow reductions calculated.
6. Create working map showing the interceptor servicc areas and staging in five-yeax
increments to 2020, bnsed on the forecasts
7. Idcncify projected flows for the total �rreas to be served and for each metropolitan inter-
ceptor scrvxcc arca for fiv�year increments. �:adsting tlows will be estimated for eac�
o� the three MCES interceptor service areas. Increases in 0ows due to additional
development or re-development in each of the service areas will be estimated and
s�dded to existing t]ows to project futuce f�ows. The future flows wial be projected in
�ive-year increments to the year 2020. Wokkin� mAps wili be created to depict the
i�►terceptor service areas and Sve-year increments. The flow projections wi�l sat-
isfy N�etropolitan Council Tier 1 requiremenfs.
8. Review 1994 Water Supply infoznnat�on and update to reflect revised population, house-
hold, and employrnent forecasts and meet requirements for Water $upply plan. The
water cansumption data in the 1994 Water supply Plan w�'l] be evaluated in con-
junction �trith �995 t�trough 1997 data to determine cucrent water consumption.
Per capita water consumption when muItiplied by future popul�tion projections wili
detern�ine average d�y water cansum�tiox�. Maximum day water consumption
though, not avers�ge day consumpiion, dictates total water supply requirements.
Peak day ratios (ratio of maximum day to average day) for -the years 1994, 1995,
1996, and 1997 will be cvaluated to quantif� whether the Gty's public education
�rogcam and water conservation plan is succeeding in lowering maximum day wa-
ter demand. �'h�is is typic..tlly caused by non-esseutial wrater uses suc� as car wash-
ing, lawu sprinkling, and garden watering. �otential changes in water dernand due
to increased or decreased watez usage for commercial, industrial and institutional
purposes will also be evaluated.
9. Review 1995 Water Consez�acion and Emergency Pian and update as appropriate. The
1995 Water Conscrvation and Emergency Plan cvaluated water consnmption data
for 1986 throug� 1994. Data for this period showed a downward trend. Water con-
sumption for 1995, 1996, a�qd 1997 will be gathered to determine �# this trend has
continued. Of particular interest is tb�e effect of unplemez�tation of the City's public
educatiun program and water conservation plan.
The City's Water Su�erintendenc, J�m Saeflce, will be i�utexviewed to detexmine
if add�iAo�aal water consumption re����*��Rcan be anticipated tbirough leak detec-

tion and correctiion, or the increased use of ineters. Mr. Saefl:e will also be
intervxewed to determin� his thoughts on the probable rednction in watcr con-
sumption through the City's public education aud water conservation efforts.
The 1995 Water Conservadon and Emeegency p]an will be updated to �reflect 1995,
1996, �uid I997 rvater cunsum�tiun data. The update will reflect improvements to
the water supply system made since 1�95, such as Water Plant No. 3, the Marion

SUBJECT: Storm Damage Policy
Attached is a policy dealing with the pickup of tree and brush as a result of a storm passing through the City.
This policy establishes a procedure for picking up trees and branches stacked on the boulevazd of residential,
commercial or industrial properties. It addresses trees and branches and specifically omits construction
material debris and bagged materials. The policy identifies that the pick up will be initiated by the City on
the first work day after the weekend of a storm and allows for the City crews to make one pass through the
City picking up material. It also identifies that the City would not be responsible �for any damage to
boulevard sod, plantings or appurtenances as a result of the debris pickup.
Recommend the City Council consider this policy for adoption to replace our existing policy.

SUBJECT: Completion of MSAS System
PW98-163
The MnDOT State Aid Office has reviewed our MSAS system for completion and has found it acceptable
with one exception. State Aid rules require a parking restriction on one side for streets less than 32 feet in
width. To finalize our system, such a parking restriction is required on Squire Drive between Rice Creek
Road and Camelot Lane and on Camelot Lane between Squire Drive and Arthur Street.
We propose to install signage stating "No Parking 12 a.m. - 6 a.m. Monday-Friday" on the west side of
Squire Drive and the south side of Camelot Lane. This follows the City's policy of installing pazking
restriction on the side of the street where fire hydrants are present.
Recommend the City Council adopt the attached resolution and authorize the installation of pazking
restriction signs on Squire Drive and Camelot Lane.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
Michele and Cully Smutzler are requesting the subdivision of Lot 1, Block 2 of the Brookview Second
Addition into two lots.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
For lots zoned R-1, Single Family, Chapter 205.07 of the City Code requires that lots be a minimum of 9,000
square feet and have a minimum width of 75 feet. The dimensions and area of the two lots meet the
requirements of the City Code.
Due to the configuration of the lot split, the existing garage will no longer meet the Code required setbacks. A
variance will be required as a stipulation of this approval. The petitioner has applied for this variance and will
appear before the Appeals Commission in August.
Pete Eisenzimmer, 6535 Oakley Drive, voiced concern regarding the relationship between this lot split, the
resulting new home, and an existing drainage problem that he sees in the neighborhood. The Planning and
Engineering staffs have worked together to analyze this issue. Short of an extensive storm water project
involving the potential assessment of 21 neighbors, staff has agreed upon a solution to reduce the run-off from
the newly created lot. Stipulation #5 will assure that roughly 50% of the existing water that naturally flows to
the low spot in the neighborhood will now be re-directed toward Brookview Drive. Stipulation #5 will also
assure that all run-off from the new home's impervious surface will be directed to Brookview Drive.
Consequently, addirional impact to Mr.Eisenzimmer's property will not occur as a result of this action.
PLANNING COMNIISSION RECOMI��NDATION:
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the subdivision request LS #98-01
with the following stipulations:
1. Approval of a variancefor the existing garage from 30 feet to 22.1 feet.
2. All easements be dedicated as illustrated on staffls Exhibit A(Attached)
3. A$750 park dedication fee be paid before the building permit is granted.
4. A$1,000 storm water fee shall be paid before the building permit is granted.
5. A workable drainage plan for the newly created lot must be demonstrated before approval of the lot split.
CITY COUNCIL RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution .

The zoning and Comprehensive Plan aze consistent in this area.
Public Hearing Neighbor, Peter Eisen�immer of 6535 Oakley Drive, has problems with water
Comments: draining through his yazd and water damage to his basement. He would like the
City to resolve this problem before additional houses are added to the
neighborhood, which would create additional drainage through his yard.

Michele and Cully Smutzler are requesting the subdivision of Lot 1, Block 2 of the Brookview Second
Addition into two lots. The new parcel will face Brookview Drive NE. The Smutzler home at 1027
Mississippi will remain and will simply have a reduced size lot if the requested lot split is approved.

The existing lot is 26,776 square feet in azea (0.61 acres) and its approximate dimensions are 107.24
feet by 250 feet. The lot has frontage on both Mississippi Street and Brookview Drive. It is
currently described as Lot 1, Block 2, Brookview Second Addition. The lot contains a house with a
detached garage faces Mississippi Street. The detached garage exists onto Brookview Drive.
The property is zoned R-1, Single Family. For lots zoned R-1, Chapter 205.07 of the City Code
requires that lots be a minimum of 9,000 squaze feet and have a minimum width of 75 feet. The
minimum width of the proposed lots is 107.24 feet and 95 feet and the lots will have an area of
16,596 square feet and 10,180 square feet, respectively. The dimensions and area of the two lots
meet the requirements of the City Code.

Existing Garaee
The larger lot contains the existing house; the house will meet all of the setback requirements of the
R-1 District, with the exception of the garage. By current standazds, the garage should be 30 feet
from the side street when it is within 25 feet of the common lot line with a home that faces the side
street. Prior to the subdivision, this lot has 112 feet between the garage and the property line and,
therefore, the garage could sit within 17.5 feet of the Brookview right-of-way. Mature Oak trees
stand on the new lot.
� �,.- . - -
Peter Eisenzixnmer of 6535 Oakley Drive, has indicated that much of the storm water run-off from this
block goes through his yazd. He was present at the public hearing. The run-off has caused water
damage to his basement during Spring thaws and has ponded in his yazd at other times of the yeaz. He
is concerned that additional houses will magnify the run-off problem. He would like the City to
resolve this problem before additional houses are added to the neighborhood. He further indicated that
the idea for a storm sewer for the block was once reviewed, but never installed. He would like to have
the storm sewer constructed.
The City Engineering Department has indicated that if a storm sewer was constructed to relieve the
problem at 6535 Oakley Drive, it would be over 600 feet in length. Easements across a number of
properties would also needed. The project would potentially cost in excess of $20,000 and would be
assessed to 21 properties. An engineering study of such a project has not been coniiucted, therefore,
it is not known if such a project is feasible. �
The Planning Commission discussed the drainage / run-off issue and decided that the drainage from
the new lot could not add additional drainage to the interior of the block. They agreed to add a
stipulation to the request that indicated run-off from a house constructed on the new lot would have
to flow to the east toward Brookview Drive. They determined that resolving the drainage problem
for the entire block was beyond the scope of this single issue.
Other Issues
The Highway Departrnent of Anoka County has recommended that an easement be required of the
plat for an additional 15 feet of right-of-way adjacent to Mississippi Street.
Due to the creation of one new lot a park fee of $750 and a storm water fee of $1,000 are due before
the granting of a building permit.
c�'AFF RECOMNI�NDATION TO THE PL 1vNING COMMISSTON
Staff recommended that the Planning Commission recommend approval of the subdivision request
LS #98-01 with the four stipulations.
