PRESENTATION:
Facin� the Future with Hone:
Ms. Marilyn Wegscheider, Ms. 7ean Wagener, Mr. Bill Ekstrom and Mr. Clem Coverston were
present, to discuss Facing the Future with Hope. Facing the Future with Hope is a church
coalition aimed at building relationships between church communities and the broader community
Through these efforts, it was felt that a variety of benefits could be achieved such as stronger
leadership in the congregations; strengthening of neighborhoods, cities and public institutions; a
sharing of faith with others; and building relationships. One important step in this effort has been
the outreach visits, which have been made.
People from three churches in Fridley visited with residents in various neighborhoods in the
community and obtained input regarding community issues such as public safety, transpoRation,
education, housing, etc. Surveys were conducted to determine the levels of concern in each of
these areas as well as to identify strengths of the community. The ne� step would be to sit down
with leaders of the community to further discuss the results of the surveys and identify how
resident concerns can be addressed. It was felt that an increase in awareness would lead people to
take a more active interest in government and bring about ways to improve the community.
Mayor Jorgenson thanked the members for the information and stated that she was looking
forward to working with them m the future.

"FEES":
��
Mr. Burns, City Manager, explained that a public hearing and first reading of this
ordinance which would lower the City's solid waste abatement fee from $6.00 to $5.50
were conducted at the March 1 City Council meeting. No comments have been received
since that meeting. The fee reduction was being generated by the decision to close the
recycling center. The fee was a quarterly fee that is charged to owners of residential
dwellings in buildir�gs encompassing up to twelve units. The purpose of the fee is to cover
the costs for the City's residential recycling program.

He provided photographs of the property, noting that it was located on the north edge of Locke
Lake. Several photographs were presented showing the location of the trailer from various
directions.
Mr. and Mrs. Nichols' hardship was that their lot does not allow them to utilize either the side
yard or the back yard. Both of their side yards slope sharply, and o ess to the side or re�ar yarde
flower boxes. Mr. Hickok noted that on a field visit, there was not acc
Mr. Hickok noted that no similar requests have been granted. Council did consider one such
variance request at a January meeting but denied the request. Staff did not have any
recommendation on this request. He noted that if Council grants this variance, the following
stipulations would be recommended: 1) The petitioner shall continue pazking the travel trailer on
the paved surface; 2) The petitioner sha11 continue parking towing vehicle in the garage when not
in use; and 3) The variance shall become null and void once Mr, and Mrs. Abraham Nichols sell
the property or move from the home.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if Mr. and Mrs. Nichols were issued a citation. Mr. Hickok responded
that this violation was discovered as part of the systematic code enforcement process. No
complaints have been received; however, several letters of support have been sent to the City
from neighbors. The ordinance, however has been in effect since the late 1960s.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she did not feel the Appeals Commission's direction was
clear. Mr. Hickok stated that the Appeals Commission would like to see this portion of the code
revisited so that it would be clearly evident that in no case are travel trailers to be parked in the
front yard.
There was some discussion with regard to motor homes being parked in driveways. Mr. Hickok
noted that these types of units fall within the statutory definition of vehicles; and, therefore, are
allowed on driveways. This is often difficult for residents to comprehend.
Councilmember Wolfe noted that to most residents who live on the lake, the lakeside property is
considered to be the &ont yard. Parking trailers there would have a more visual impact than
parking them on the front driveways.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she felt the ordinance must be applied to all properties within the .
City, not just certain properties.
Councilmember Bolkcom felt that the entire ordinance needed to be reviewed again.
1�1i'. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that he felt Council must be careful in granting variances such as
this. There are likely other properties with similar situations, which would come forward with
variance requests as well. If Council chose to approve the variance, the various set of unique
circumstances which apply to this property would need to be explicitly outlined.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve Variance #99-01, due to the unique
characteristics of the property. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to amend the motion of approval, noting that it was a
unique property with the lake in the rear yard, and it was to include the following stipulations: 1)
the petitioner sha11 continue parking the travel trailer on the paved surface; 2) the petitioner shall
continue parking towing vehicles in garage when not in use; and 3) the variance sha11 become null
and void once Mr, and Mrs. Abraham Nichols sell the property or move from the home.
Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.
Mr. Mark Nichols, stated that his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nichols, have been residents of Fridley
since 1965. The trailer has been parked in that location for over thirty years. During the summer
months, the trailer is moved to a seasonal site on Big Lake. The neighbors have all indicated their
approval of the parlcing situation. He stated that his parents are retired with a f�ed income and
that storing the trailer off site would be expensive.
Mayor 7orgenson stated that she was empathetic that Council must maiDriveconsistency. This
situation would really be no different than those properties on Matterhorn
Councilmember Barnette stated that he could support the variance request provided it would
become null and void if the Nichols should ever move or sell the property.
Councilmember Billings stated that a stipulation such as this would indicate that the variance was
not being granted for the particular property, but rather for the property owner and would
establish a precedent for storage of other trailers in front yards. He felt that many of the big
motor homes do create a bigger visual impact than trailers such as that owned by Mr. and 1V�'s.
Nichols. However, at this time, he could not support this variance.
Councilmember Barnette asked where some of the other trailer owners at the Big Lake resort
store their trailers during off-season. Mrs. Nichols stated WO ldanost appro�ma elyk$48 Osper
She checked into the cost of domg so, and found tha
month to store the trailer on a 12 foot by 24 foot stall (outdoors).
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, noted that should Council choose to app and lare e evergreensuon�the
would recommend that the approval be based on the steep slopes 8
property and the fact that there is no possible way to put the travel trailer in the side yard. There
was no a11ey behind the home to access the rear yard. Additionally, due to the large trees on the
lot, the travel trailer is fairly well screened from all neighbors except those directly across the
street.

property. Councilmember Bolkcom felt that portion of the City Code should be revisited.
10. RECEIVE BIDS AND AWARD T NO STC1999 10 R 1999 STREET
IMPROVEMENT (SEALCOATI PROJEC
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she requested that this item be removed from the consent
agenda for clarification as to which streets would be sealcoated. Mr. Flora provided a diagram
showing which streets would be completed. Originally, staff felt that the area, which was not
completed under the Riverview Heights project, could be completed as a part of this project.
However, when bids came in, it was evident that the costs would far exceed the amount budgeted
in 1999 for this project. Therefore, staf�s first recommendation was thatg hose areas be deleted
which would bring the project cost down from $210,327.74 to $163,131.2 .
Since that time, staff re�eived the bids for the Riverview Heights street improvement project,
which were essentially $200,000, less than what was originally anticipated. As a result, staff felt
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCII. MEETIl�tG OF MARCH 22 1999 PAGE 10
that a portion of the funds budgeted for the Riverview Heights project could be used to finance
the sealcoating project, thereby allowing all of the work (Areas 1& 2) originally proposed to be
completed on schedule under the City's street maintenance program.
A discussion followed with regard to the possibility of cost overruns and change orders that could
occur when the Riverview Heights project is completed. This would, in turn, increase the costs
for that project. Mr. Flora noted that one change order was already anticipated for the Riverview
Heights project; however, he remained confident that there would be ample funds in the project
budget to complete the project satisfactorily.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how much excess funds anticipated would remain available for
other change orders which could result. Mr. Flora noted that the anticipated cost of the
Riverview Heights project was between $2.2 million and $2.6 million. The bid came in at just
under $2 million. Even with the approximate $140,000 in change orders (including the seal
coating project and the raising of the water line), it appears that there would still be ample funds.
Councilmember Billings noted that at some point the areas designated for sealcoating would need
to be doubled up in order to allow the project to remain on schedule. With costs continuing to
increase, he felt Council should consider looking at completing the sealcoating in Area 1 at this
time.
Mayor Jorgenson stated her concern is that what appears to be a surplus of funds at this time may
eventually end up as a deficit.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to receive the bids and award the contract for the 1999
Street Improvement Project No. ST 1999-10 to Bituminous Roadways in the amount of.
$210,327.74, including all of Area 2 as scheduled plus those streets in Area 1 that axe not part of
the Riverview Heights project area. Seconded by Councilmember Billings.

Mr. Flora noted that the bids for this project were opened on March 19, 1999. The low bid was
received from Park Construction in the amount of $1,969,634.75. He noted that the City has
worked with Park Construction in the past and has not had any problems.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to receive the bids and award the contract for the 1999

Mr. Flora noted that as a result of the low bid, staffproposed a change order that would raise the
water line along 79th Way and Riverview Terrace to preclude future maintenance issues resulting
from the waterline's increased depth.

Councilmember Billings asked if the price for the change order would include the removal of the
old line. Mr. Flora noted that it would be extremely difficult to remove, as it is below all of the
other utility lines.

17A. DISCUSSION REGARDING MEMORANDUM FROM BILL CHAMPA AN�
BRIAN STRAND RELATING TO PUBLIC ACCESS:
Councilmember Billings noted that a memorandum was sent to Council in their weekly packet
with regard to the Request for Proposals for public access. He noted that when this item was
presented to Council at their work session in 7anuary, staff was proposing specific hours of
operation. He believed that Council d t IWO Id need t oclbe topenourThe � eco tmme dedthou sClof
the number of hours per week that
operation in the RFP was listed as 37 hours per week.
In reviewing the recap of the studio usage and editing equipment usage which was received from
E.T.C. Channel 33 from May through December of 1998 indicates that there are appro�cimately
5.5 hours of usage per week by Fridley residents and seven hours per week of usage by non-
Fridley residents. He did not feel the studio should be open 37 hours per week when the usage
was approximately fifteen hours per week. He also noted that he did not find anything in the RFP
that would encourage the provider to increase the usage. If the hours of operation needed to be
adjusted after the first year, it could be done.
Another requirement that he believed was in the draft RFP, was that the public access would be
available to the residents of Fridley; the residency requirements are no longer in the RFP.
Mayor 7orgenson stated that she had been contacted be several members of the community who
were interested in reviewing the RFP. She asked if they were contacted to provide input in the
process.
Mr. Strand, Video Specialist, explained that three members were present at the Cable Television
and Telecommunications Advisory Commission meeting when this RFP was discussed and none
of them were in favor of establishing a residency requirement. In regard to hours of operation,
the Cable Commission wanted to have some hours of operation specified to assist in the bidding
process. They indicated a desire to keep those hours under 40 per week but did not feel that 20
hours was adequate.
Councilmember Billings stated that one of the reasons he did not support signing a contract with
E.T.C. Channel 33 was that the level of service being provided was far in excess of the demand
for the City of Fridley. He felt that adequate service could be provided to meet the needs of the
residents at a far lower cost by reducing the number of hours of operation. Perhaps if the City
wished to continue offering the service to non-residents, a small fee should be charged. He noted
that he did not feel that Fridley had an obligation to provide equipment to anyone who may want
to use it. He did not think it was a good way to spend t� dollars.
Mayor Jorgenson noted that there are many other amenities in Fridley which are not only available
to Fridley residents such as the hockey rinks, the swimming beaches, etc. Naturally, one would
encourage and hope that Fridley residents are using these resources, but there are no residency
requirements established in these areas.
Councilmember Billings stated that streets and parks in the City are not maintained to a greater
level to allow for non-residents than what is provided for residents. In the c,�se of public access,
however, additional hours would be available to provide access for non-residents.
Councilmember Billings also suggested that staff look at some type of insurance for the
equipment, as the hold harmless clause in the RFP may not be adequate. Furthermore, some kind
of security bond (beyond the performance bond) may be necessary.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that he would not object to charging non-residents a small fee for
public access. Sports associations often charge non-residents a higher fee than residents.
Councilmember Barnette suggested that the RFP specify the hours of operation to be 20 hours
per week and that a minimal fee be charged for non residents. Mayor Jorgenson wondered if this
would discourage people from responding to the RFP.
It was the general consensus that staff address these items and have a discussion by the Cable
Commission after which time it would again be brou�ht to Council for consideration.
ig• INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS:
Councilmember Bolkcom presented a copy of the 50�` Anniversary booklet for Fridley. She
stated her appreciation to all those who were involved in preparing the booklet. The booklets will
be delivered with Focu_�,5. For those who do not receive a copy, additional copies will be
available at various locations including the Community Center and the Municipal Center.
Mayor Jorgenson reminded residents of the Lasagna Dinner put on by the Fridley Historical
Society on Saturday, April 17. Tickets are available by contacting the Fridley Historical Society.

Ms. Daniels stated Brother Milton Barker, President of Totino-Grace, is requesting
the special use permit for Totino-Grace High School. The request would allow an

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 17, 1999 PAGE 2
upgrade of the existing track and field facility of a private school located in an R-1
district. The property is located at 1350 Gardena Avenue. The present track and
field facility will be reconstructed to meet current design standards.
Ms. Daniels showed an aeriaf photo of the site. She stated the site has been
occupied by Totino-Grace since 1965. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family,
as are the surrounding properties. There is one area zoned P, Public Facility,
which is a park.
Ms. Daniels showed photos of the site and reviewed the site plans and elevations.
She stated the concession building will be facing the field. A�storage area will be
available under the bleachers. The press box has been redesigned. The
proposed reconstruction meets the building code requirements for accessibility. All
elements will be handicap accessible in accordance with the 1994 and 1997
Uniform Building Code. The drainage and storm water management plans meet
the City code and are an improvement over the current situation.
Ms. Daniels stated a neighborhood meeting was held to inform the neighbors and
answer any questions. Three residents attended the meeting. The plans and
elevations were reviewed. The only questions from the audience were if Totino-
Grace needed any support for what they were doing. Staff received finro phone
calls asking what was being proposed, but the callers had neither positive nor
negative responses.
Ms. Daniels stated private schools are a permitted special use in the R-1 district
and the proposed upgrade of the track and field facility complies with the
requirements for a special use permit: Therefore, staff recommends approval of
the special use permit with the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall control dust during excavation by watering the disturbed
soil areas as deemed necessary by the City.
2. All elements of this project shall be handicap accessible in accordance with
Chapter 11 of the 1994 and 1997 Uniform Building Code.
3. Silt fence must be prope�ly placed and maintained during construction to
protect against run-off.
Mr. Oquist asked if another stipulation should be included that the bleachers be
enclosed due to the issues going on today.
Ms. Daniels stated that though this requirement is not a part of the ordinance, the
petitioner has addressed this issue.
Mr. Oquist stated he wanted to be sure that this is addressed so there is not a
problem in the future. Will the press box be on the same side of the field?
4.02
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 17, 1999 PAGE 3
Ms. Daniels stated the press box will be in the same location.
Mr. Kuechle stated one of the statements is that the drainage plan for the new site
is better than the old one. Are there problems with drainage on the current site?
Ms. Daniels stated, yes. There are problems with water standing on the field.
Most of the problems have been for Totino-Grace, not due to run-off affecting
anything else. Their excavations will improve that.
Br. Barker commended staff for their fine work and cooperation through the
planning process, He assured the City that the stipulations made by staff will be
adhered to by Totino-Grace as they begin this project. All of their designs have
included the elements of the 1994 and 1997 Uniform Building Code regarding
handicap accessibility. The other two requirements are within their plans at this
time.
Ms. Savage asked Br. Milton to respond to the question regarding the bleachers.
Br. Barker stated their plans from the beginning have been to address that issue.
All the bleachers that they will be using will have risers with enclosed backs.
Mr. Oquist stated this is to improve the field. Will this improvement have better
lighting so there is less impact for the neighbors? ,
Br. Barker stated, yes. Part of the neighborhood meeting was to actually show the
candlelight spill onto Gardena and Matterhorn that is much improved because
technology has improved significantly since the current lights were installed.
Mr. Oquist asked if this plan is only for the track and field.
Br. Barker stated, yes.

OTHER BUSINESS:
Mr. Oquist asked if the City is addressing the bleacher issue in the ordinance.
Mr. Hickok stated staff did not feel it necessary to include such a stipulation
because the industry is addressing that problem. He did not think the older open-
style bleacher is available. He believed the building codes will require that. Staff
will leave that issue to the building code requirements.
Mr. Oquist stated he is expressing the concern because it can take time for the
standard to get into the codes and for the State and City to act. Staff may want to
include a stipulation regarding the bleachers just to make sure that happens.
Mr. Hickok stated staff will support the Uniform Building Code advances that come
up. It is the intent of Totino-Grace to go with the top-of-the-line structural
elements. It is important for them to have safety and access built into the
bleachers, and also they recognize the advantage of having the storage below.
Mr. Oquist asked if the City is doing anything to address the bleachers that are
now in the parks.
Mr. Kondrick stated they are looking at this issue and working on it.
Mr. Hickok provided an update on recent City Council actions.
Mr. Hickok provided an update on the Y2K issue. The City has an internal
committee looking at both software and hardware. As the City moves toward the
new year, staff wants to know the spectrum of possibilities for software and/or
hardware failure and to also know what the contingency plans are for each piece of
hardware and/or software that might fail. The committee is working with staff to
come up with a contingency plan and with the IS staff on what they need to do.
Mr. Saba stated one of his concerns is in the area of public safety. The City has a
number of chemical processing facilities. If something happened at one of those
facilities, how would the public safety people respond or would they be prepared to
respond? Are they working with those facilities to find out their Y2K readiness?
Mr. Hickok stated each of the depa�tments has its own program that it is working
and it all comes back together through this team nefinrork that is set up to analyze
the problems. Ms. Griep, Crime Prevention Specialist, is an expert at heading off a
catastrophe before it happens. She and the team are working on that.
Ms. Savage asked staff to have someone come to a meeting to answer questions.
Mr. Saba stated he thought the citizens of the City would like to have an
assessment of where the City is at and its readiness.
4.05
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MARCH 17, 1999 PAGE 6
Ms. Savage also suggested an article be placed in the Focus.
Mr. Saba stated, at his place of empioyment, they get from their suppliers a legal
format of a response of a Y2K readiness from industry and other suppliers on
down the line. The City cannot accept that type of response from a manufacturer
or any kind of company that would be involved with chemical spills or something
happening during a process of chemical mixing, etc. They need facts. He would
feel more confident if he knew the public safety officials were getting those facts.
Thus far, he is impressed with the program.

� � .
Totino-Grace High School is requesting a special use permit to allow for upgrading of the
existing track and field facility. The property, located at 1350 Gardena Avenue, is currently used
as a private school. The present track and field area, Jim Totino Field, will be completely
reconstructed to bring the area up to current design standards such as handicap accessibility,
better lighting, people control, and to address safety issues. The use of this portion of the
property is not going to be intensified or necessarily expanded, however, the amount of heavy
earthwork that will be involved may appeaz as if the project is going to be much bigger or
different than what exists already. For that reason, it was important to bring this project through
the special use permit process in order to keep the neighbors informed and to allow the necessary
City review. To the end of informing the public, Totino-Grace held a neighborhood meeting on-
site. City staff attended as well as three residents living near the school. The project was
explained in detail to these residents and other than general questions, the only comments were
offering support to the school.
The proposed improvements for Jim Totino Field will not alter or intensify the present use of the
site. The improvements are an upgrade of facilities with careful attention to the impact on
adjacent properties. The purpose of the extensive sub-surface excavation is not only to improve
drainage and reduce water standing on the field, but also to create a more "player-friendly"
subsurface, thereby reducing the risk of injury. The field lighting will be replaced by a total light
control system, which will have much less spillover than the current system. A stormwater
management design that allows no "net increase" in stormwater runoff will be constructed
allowing for better use of the field. An interior fencing system will control the movement of
participants and spectators and gating will be constructed that only allows access from the
easterly school grounds. The existing landscaping will remain and eight additional trees will be
planted at the entrance to the athletic field complex and the concession building site.
Location of Property (SE corner of Gardena and Matterhorn)
5.04
There are three proposed new buildings and one current building that will be removed. The
ticket building will be located on the southeast corner and will provide a visible focus for entry to
the facility. Four ticket windows and access gates will be included totaling approximately 228
square feet. The Concession/toilet building will be located at the southwest corner and will be
covered with a large roof overhang. This building will also include storage space for the
irrigation system equipment and lighting controls and will cover approximately 2,500 square
feet. Another 1,730 square foot storage building will be placed below the home bleachers on the
west side. This space will allow for storage of track and field, football, soccer, and physical
education equipment. Both sets of bleachers will be completely reconstructed to address cunent
safety issues and to make them handicap accessible. The buildings will be constructed from load-
bearing decorative concrete block, with colored banding to provide a consistent look. The press
box will be reconstructed with southern yellow pine framing. The exterior siding will be
aluminum overlaid plywood colored to compliment the architectural theme of the other
buildings. The fascia will be aluminum colored to match the bleacher risers. The roofing and
trim will be of prefinished sheet metal standing seam with color also.
i r
This property has been occupied by Totino-Grace High School since 1965. The zoning is R-1
Single Family Residential. The cunent use of the area proposed for reconstruction is a track and
field facility.

An�
The proposed reconstruction of the track and field area is consistent with City requirements. All
elements of this project will be handicap accessible in accordance with Chapter 11 of the 1994
and 1997 Uniform Building Code. Jon Haukaas, Assistant Public Works director, has reviewed
5.05
the drainage and stormwater management plans and states that they fulfill the City's requirement
and ar� an improvement over the current situation.
The changes proposed for this property will improve the look of the track and field area and will
decrease the impact of stadium lights on surrounding properties. The current landscaping will
remain with the addition of several trees at the entrance to the facility. The changes also indicate
an awazeness of and commitment to increased safety features such as enclosed bleachers.

City staff has received two phone calls concerrung this proj ect. Both were questions of what was
proposed without being positive or negative in tone.

The Planning Commission unanimously approved the requested specia.l use permit with the three
stipulations listed below.
Staff Rec mmenda inn
Private schools are a permitted special use in a residential district and the reconstruction
proposed will not create detrimental impacts to the surrounding area. City staff recommends
- approval of this special use permit with three stipulations. These are:
1. The petitioner shall control dust during excavation by wateri.ng the disturbed soil
areas as deemed necessary by the City.
2. All elements of this project shall be handicap accessible in accordance with Chapter
11 of the 1994 and 1997 Uniform Building Code.
3. Silt fence must be properly placed and maintained during construction to protect

Warehouse, is seeking State funding for the pollution clean-up costs from the
Department of Trade and Economic Development and the Metropolitan Council.
The application deadline is May 3, 1999, for the Met Council program. It is suggested
that the City Council act as the project sponsor since the HRA is providing TIF
assistance.
The attached resolution authorizes the City to act as the legal sponsor for the Met
Council application. The preliminary estimate for the clean-up budget is approximately
$956,140. The total project cost including the clean-up cost is $13,586,015. The
proposed application to DTED would request $717,105 and $154,658 would be
requested from the Met Council. A local match is required of $84,377. As was done in
the Dealers Manufacturing case, Onan and Murphy Warehouse would provide the local
share.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing an
application to the Metropolitan Council for the Tax Base Revitalization Account.

where the existing buildings are located. Lot 2, to be occupied by Murphy
Warehouse, will contain a storm pond for its site.
Anoka County will not accept the consolidation of the Outlot with Lot 1, due to
the new roadway separating the two parcels. Mr. Hervin indicated that the value
of this Outlot as a holding pond W��for the Iuond wi I be $4 The storm1 po d' This

them at that time.
MOTION by Councilmember Biliings to authorize the City Manaaer, in conjunction with the
Cable Television and Telecommunications Advisory Commission, to develop a request for
proposal for public access, and to contact at a minimum Paragon Cable, School District No. 14
and E.T.C. Channel 33 with that RFP. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.

Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, provided a diagram illustratin� the site location of the subject
property. At the time, the property consisted of four different tracts. The preliminary plat
contained three lots, a public ri�ht-of-way and an outlot. To accommodate the proposed 400,000
square foot buildin�, it would be necessary to reptat the property, re-defining the parcel
boundaries.
Councilmember Wolfe noted that it came to his attention that employees of Medtronic had been
parking their vehicles on 69`h Avenue. He wondered if "No Parking" signs could be installed to
prevent this from occurrin�. He stated that he was concerned that this problem would escalate
due to the increased vehicles from the new development.
In addressing the impact that the development at Onan would have on the situation, Mr. Hickok
stated that the parkin� for the proposed development was really centered around the building. He
believed that staff had effectively addressed on-site parking concerns there. However, if there
was an existing problem in the area, it could be addressed with the Public Works staff.
Mr. Hickok stated that it was stafFs recommendation that Council approve the request for
replatting of the property with the following stipulations: I) A 20-foot utility easement should be
provided along the easterly property line of the Onan property; 2) A road with a 60-foot right-of-
way, 30 m.p.h. curves, and necessary cul-de-sacs or bubble should be identified to provide access

should be designed to service the proposed and future lots on the plat; 5) Sewer connection to the

must be approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District; 13) Petitioner shall combine Outlot A
with Lot 1, for tax purposes, before the finai plat is approved; and 14)Petitioner shall notify the
City of any contaminants that surface, for wellhead protection.
MOTtON by Councilmember Wolfe to approve Replat P.S. #98-04, and concur with staffs

public right-of-way, with the stipulations as found on Page 2.05 of the agenda book. Seconded

REPLAT PROPERTY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT _OF VACANT LAND,
GF.NERALLY LOCATED_ ON NORTHCO DiRVE AND 73�D AVENUE N.E.
(WARD 1):
Counciimember Billings noted that the agenda did not contain an iilustration of the new lots after
the proposed replatting. Mr. Hickok, Plannin� Coordinator, provided a dia?ram depicting the
replatting information. The request was merely to take the existing lot and to subdivide it into
two lots to allow for the development of another facility.
Councilmember Billings asked why the required number of parking stalls was specified, taking
into consideration that the buildin� ownership/use could change in the future.
Mr. Hickok stated that he felt the City needed to provide a service to petitioners when they come
, forward with a renuest. The location of the lot line was dependent upon the petitioner providing
the required number of parking spaces. Therefore, it was felt that it was necessary to specify this.
Councilmember Biilin�s stated he believed that in the original replatting of the Northco
Subdivision there was a stipulation referrin� to the number of driveway accesses availabie from
7l'` Avenue. He believed that the langua�e had been added to any subsequent replatting.

CORPORATION. M. G. NELSON:
To replat property to accommodate the development of a warehousing facility on
Tracts A-D, RLS114, generally located at 1400 73rd Avenue N.E.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:38 P.M.
Mr. Bolin stated the replat request is by Onan Corporation to accommodate the
development of a warehousing facility on the site. The number of parcels will remain the
same; however, the boundaries of the parcels will be redefined as a result of this action.
Mr. Bolin stated the property is located east of bld Central between 69th and 73rd. The
property is currently zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial. To the north is R-1, Single Family� and
. � .
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING JANUARY 6� 1999 PAGE 2 _
R-3, Multiple Family, zoning; to the east is the City of Mounds View; to the south is R-3,
Multiple Family, and M-2, Heavy Industrial; and to the southwest is M-2, Heavy Industrial,
specifically Medtronics.
Mr. Bolin stated the site was platted into its current configuration in 1988. This was done
to create some separately defined parcels because there was some contamination on
part of the property. In order to clear the title for construction of the building, they split the
land in this manner. The preliminary plat is intended to accommodate a new 406,000
square foot warehouse facility. The cuRent Tract A is the parcel that had the original
contamination. Tract B was created to accommodate a planned building that never
materialized and also contains a"french drain" system from past clean-up efforts. Tract C
contains the existing buildings. Tract D was created to provide public right-of-way into
Tract B if that was ever developed.
Mr. Bolin stated the proposed plat now consists of Lot 1 which is basically the same as
the p�esent Tract C. The proposed plat also has a Lot 2 which is the present Tract A.
The proposed Lot 3 is similar to Tract B but has been expanded further east. This is
where Onan intends to build the new warehouse facility. They also have a new public
right-of-way which will be extended on the east side of the new Lot 3. Outlot A will take
the place of the present Tract D. This will serve to give a public right-of-way and be used
as a storm water retention pond area.
Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of Replat request, P.S. #98-04. The new
lots, except Outlot A, will meet the code definitions. Staff recommends the following
stipulations:
A 20-foot utility easement should be provided along the easterly property line of
the Onan property.
2. A road with 60-foot right-of-way, 30 mile per hour curves, and necessary cul-de-
sacs or bubble should be identified to provide access to the proposed lot splits.
3. The proposed access road will continue along the eastem edge of Lot 3 for a
minimum of 150 feet in order to meet the lot width requirements.
4. Tfie sewer services should be designed to service the proposed and future lots on
the plat.
5. Sewer connection to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES)
interceptor will require MCES approval.
6. The water system should be designed to provide service to the existing and
proposed lots.
7. Fire hydrants associated with the development will be flushed by City crews.
Operation, maintenance and repair will remain with the property owners.
8. Storm water pond calculations need to be approved by the Engineering
Department.
9.09
�NNING COMMISSION MEETING. JANUARY 6. 1999 PAGE 3
9. A storm water pond agreement needs to be executed to �include the outfali system
for the pond.
10. A user fee will be required from the property owner for the storm system placed
within the City right-of-way.
11. The storm water outlet pipe will require the repair of Stinson Avenue and the �
installation of 6618 concrete curb and gutter.
12. The storm sewer pond design must be approved by the Rice Creek Watershed
District.
13. Petitioner shall combine Outlot A with Lot 1 for tax purposes before the final plat is
approved.
Mr. Kondrick asked how long it would take for the storm water pond design to be
approved by the Rice Creek Watershed District.
Mr. Hickok stated this approval is being reviewed at the time this request is being
approved.
- Mr. Sielaff asked the purpose of the french drain and clean-up of the site.
Mr. Bofin stated the french drain is a hole punched in the ground usually through clay.
The hole is then filled with a more porous material, such as gravel, that allows run-off to
d�ain into the ground at a quicker rate. He does not know why it was put in Tract 6. Tract
A is where the contamination was. He would guess that the french drain was put in B to
keep the water in that area from running into A.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the site is being monitored at this time.
Mr. Bolin stated he is not sure of the status of the current monitoring. The petitioner may�
be able to answer that question.
Ms. Savage asked if staff has received any comments from the public conceming this
request.
Mr. Bolin stated staff has received no comments.
Mr. Hickok stated that regarding the environmental issues, an environmental consultant
brought on by the petitioner is wo�lcing to make certain that future development will be
sensitive to the work already done to clean up the contamination on the site and to make
sure that, as development occurs, whatever needs to be contained is contained and any
necessary clean up happens also.
Mr. Sielaff asked if the petitioner submits something to the City to keep the City informed.
Mr. Hickok stated Onan has made application to DTED and the Metropolitan Council for
funds. They will be going back through the funding cycle in May. Though no funds were
available through DTED on the first round, the Metropolitan Council offered funds. It does
look good for the next round of funding to get additional dollars to make this project work.
9.10
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JANUARY 6 1999 PAGE 4 _
There are extensive environmental issues still being dealt with. The cost is to be shared
and helped finance through DTED and the Metropolitan Council.
Mr. Sielaff asked if there is additional clean up and/or monitoring continuing on this site.
Is the work going to be overseen by the Metropolitan Council?
Mr. Hickok stated, yes, there is continued monitoring. The environmental folks repo�t to
both DTED and the Metropotitan Council while working through the environmental issues.
Mr. Nelson stated he is the director of corporate facilities. He is excited about the project.
This does a lot for Onan and the community to put land back into productive use.
Ms. Savage asked if the petitioner had any problems with the stipulations.
Mr. Nelson stated they had some questions. Stipulation #7 refers to fire hydrants. He
was not sure what they have in mind. They have maintained fire hydrants in the past but
it is not a big deal. Staff talked about the outlot and they need to understand what that
really means for them as well. Mr. Becker has been involved with Onan and Murphy on
the design work for the site.
Mr. Becker stated the only other issues are details about how the sewer line will be
designed to service both lots to satisfy the requirements of the City Public Works
Depa�tment. He did not see a problem with that though.
Ms. Savage• asked if the petitioner believed they could work out the details with the staff.
Mr. Nelson stated, yes.
Mr. Sielaff stated he would like to fotlow up on the environmental issues on the site.
Mr. Nelson stated they are seeking funding for some of the environmental issues. The
clean-up that was done on the site in the mid-1980's was hard core, and it was funded by
Boise Cascade, Onan, and the railroad. It was done in accordance with a court order.
Monitoring is in place and is ongoing as a part of that declaratory judgment. What they
expect to encounter and because of the french drain, they want to make sure that is
preserved so it can still function. The french drain has not functioned as it was installed to
do for some period of time. The MPCA said to tum it off. It is there but not functioning as
it was designed to do. It is in place, and they will leave it in place as the site is developed.
Mr. Sielaff asked Mr. Nelson to explain what a french drain is.
Mr. Nelson stated the section where the contamination is centered is a central treating
operation. The implementation mechanism is a slurry wall dug into the glacial till that is
about 40 feet deep and filled with clay. .A cap was placed with clean fill over the top of
that so there is no recharge from the ram or snow melt. The french drain was dug into the
surface aquifer about 26 feet below the surface. Then they put in pea gravel and sand
with a textile cover to keep it from silting up. That is about 4 to 5 feet below the surface of
the ground water which, on this site, is about 8 to 12 feet. The thought was that this went
a into the Metropolitan Council sewer with a valve so that you could tum on the french drain
and lower the level within Tract B. When you shut it off, the water level would come up to
flush it. They did not see a difference however, so they shut it off.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING� JANUARY 6 1999 PAGE 5
M�. Sielaff asked if there are some additional things that need to be done at the site.
Mr. Nelson stated there are considerations that have to be made in the construction
process to p�eserve the capability to continue to wo�k.
Mr. Sielaff asked what the connection was with the Metropolitan Council.
Mr. Nelson stated there is funding for retuming contaminated sites to usable purposes.
That is really what they are talking about. He did not have all of the details. They also
have a contingency plan approved by the MPCA where, during the construction process,
they have a mechanism to monitor the excavation so that if something is encountered,
they have a plan to take care of it. That will be put in process also.
Mr. Sielaff asked, if something was to occur on that site, is there a way to let the City
knor�v what is going on? Perhaps there should be a stipulation that the City be notified of
any contamination. His reason for bringing this issue up is because wellhead protection
is something the City is looking at and this is a potential source of contamination.
Mr. Nelson stated he did not see a problem with that.
M TI N by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:58 P.M.
Mr. Kondrick asked if the Commission should add a stipulation that the City be notified if
contamination is found.
Mr. Saba stated that Onan has been a good corporate citizen and probably would not
have a problem with notifying the City. He did not believe a stipulation was necessary.
Mr. Sielaff stated he suggested the stipulation so that the City would be aware if anything
happened.
M TI N by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to recommend approval of Replat
request, P.S. #98-04, by M. G. Nelson, Onan Corporation, to replat property to

FROM: John G. Flora, Public Works Director

DATE: April 12, 1999
PW99-074
SUBJECT: Change Order No. 1 for the Riverview Heights Area Street Improvement Project No. ST.
1999 - 1
The attached Change Order No. l is for the removal and replacement of watermain and appurtenances along
Riverview Terrace and 79�' Way from Ely Street to the Apex Station.
The cast iron watermain along this section of roadway is currently greater than 10 feet deep due to the levy
construction during the 1965 flooding. The City must conract out any repairs as we do not have the
necessary equipment to perform repairs at that depth. The new main will be modern ductile iron pipe and
will be within the new street alignment at standard depth. The original budget consisted of $2 million for
street reconstruction, $120,000.00 for storm sewer upgrades and $90,000.00 for water system upgrades,
specifically this area.
The net cost of Change Order No. 1 is $78,395.00. The revised contract amount is $2,048,029.75.
Recommend the City Council approve Change Order No. l to Park Constxuction for the Riverview Heights

INTEROFFICE MEMORAND UM
, ��
TO: William W. Burns, City Manager �
FROM: Chuck McKusick, Fire Chief
DATE: March 22, 1999
SUBJECT: Joint Powers Agreement
On January 27, 19987, a Joint Powers Agreement was entered by the Cities of Fridley,
Columbia Heights, St. Anthony, Coon Rapids and the Spring Lake Park, Blaine, Mounds
View Fire Department, Inc. The purpose of the Agreement was to jointly fund and
operate emergency hazardous materials response vehicles.
The program created under the Agreement has operated successfully. The primary
response vehicle, known as "HazMat 1", has reached the end of its life expectancy. That
vehicle and a subsequently obtained trailer, were the only specialized hazardous materials
response vehicles available to our communities. Since then, we received a contract with
the State to operate a new hazardous materials truck and trailer.
I have received direction from each of the participating fire chiefs to dissolve subject joint
powers agreement. A resolution for our Council's action is attached. Staff recommends
approval of the resolution.

TO: RICK PRIBYL, FINANCE DIRECTOR /�
FROM: CHUCK MCKUSICK, FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: DISPOSITION OF SURPLUS VEHICLE
DATE: MARCH 22, 1990
In reference to the attached resolution submitted for Council approval, the vehicle in
question (known under the Joint Powers Agreement as "Hazmat 1") is a 1971 Chevrotet
step van owned by the City of Fridley. We will transfer that vehicle's title to the Spring
Lake Park, Blaine, Mounds View Fire Department, Inc. as part of the dissolution process.
The equipment on the vehicle will be assigned to other response vehicles owned or
operated by the City of Fridley. We still have a hazardous materials equipment trailer
donated to us in 1993; we will respond it to other communities, but pursuant to our
Mutual Aid Agreement rather than the Joint Powers Agreement.

M E M O R A N D U M City Manager
To: The Mayor and Council
From: William W. Burns, City Manager
Subject: Franchises with Minnegasco and NSP
Date: April 9, 1999
During 1998, we held many meetings with John Theis and Harold Bagley of NSP
and with AI Swintek of Minnegasco. The purpose of these meetings was to
fashion the terms of new franchises with both utilities. While we sometimes
disagreed on the issues, we kept at it (and at it, and at it ). Ultimately, we arrived
at the documents before you tonight.
While the franchises are somewhat different, the components are, for the most
part, very similar. I will attempt to outline these components and to highlight any
differences befinreen the two franchises.
Term — Both franchises provide for a 20-year term. The NSP franchise is new;
the Minnegasco franchise is an extension of an existing franchise that was due to
expire in the year 2003.
Exclusivity— Both franchises are non-exclusive. We could agree to allow other
utilities to use Fridley rights-of-way to provide gas and electric to our residents
and businesses.
Purpose of Franchise — The franchise is a contract with each utility that gives
them the right to use our streets for provision of gas or electric service.
Location of Facilities — Both franchises say that these services are to be
located in public rights-of-way provided they do not interFere with public safety.
They may also be located in public grounds with the City's permission.
Permits — Both franchises provide that the utility may only disturb our public
property by going through a permitting process. If we elect to establish a
franchise fee, we may not charge the utilities a permit fee.

Franchises with Minnegasco and NSP
April 9, 1999

Requirements for Restoration of City Property — Both franchises require the
utility to restore streets and other public land that they disturb to its original
condition. If they do not, we have the ability to do it for them and charge them for
the work.
Provisions for Relocation of Facilities — We can make them move their gas
and electric facilities for reasonable public purposes at their cost. If we ask that
the same facilities be moved more frequently than once every 5 years, it is at our
cost.
lndemnification — Both franchises provide that the Company will indemnify the
City from liability occasioned by their negligence.
Franchise Fees — Both franchises provide that the City may impose a franchise
fee that will be collected in lieu of permit fees or other fees that are not generally
levied against residents or businesses.
A. Method of Assessment - Both franchises prescribe a method of
franchise fee assessment. Both franchises allow that residential
customers may be assessed a percentage of their monthly bill or,
alternatively, a flat meter fee that is the same for each household,
regardless of energy usage.
The Minnegasco franchise, however, does allow for more flexibility in
assessing non-residential customers. In addition to allowing for
assessment based on a flat meter fee for various non-residential
customer classes, it also allows for a fee based on units of energy
delivered to the various classes of non-residential customers.
NSP provides no other non-residential option to the flat meter fee. Both
franchises are alike in requiring a flat fee for residential customers if,
through deregulation, the Company ceases to be the sole supplier of
electric or gas to residential customers in Fridley.
B. Overall Level ofAssessment— The Minnegasco franchise is silent on
this issue. The NSP franchise restricts the level of franchise fee
assessment to an amount that is no greater than 4% of the gross
revenues for each customer class.
16.02
Franchises with Minnegasco and NSP
April 9, 1999
Page 3
C. Protection of Smaller Customers within Non-residential Customer
Categories — The Minnegasco franchise is silent on this issue. The NSP
franchise contains elaborate language that is designed to protect smaller
users within their various customer classes from paying large franchise
fees. This protection stems from the nature of the flat fee assessment
method for non-residential customers. Since this method forces us to
charge the same fee to all customers in a customer category, the lower
end users pay a higher percentage of their monthly bill in franchise fees.
The NSP franchise requires that the fee may be no higher than 5% of the
bill for these low end users.
D. Separate Franchise Fee Ordinance — Both franchises provide that the
franchise fees may only be enacted by a separate ordinance.
E. Collection — Both franchises provide that the companies will collect the
franchise fee on a monthly basis and remit it to the City on a quarterly
basis.
The public hearing for both franchises is scheduled for Monday night. The first
reading is scheduled for April 26. The second and final reading is scheduled for
May 10.
Before leaving this topic, I would like to express my appreciation to John Theis
and Harold Bagley from NSP and to AI Swintek from Minnegasco. All of these
individuals devoted a lot of time to the negotiating process. Throughout this
process they have been available and responsive. On at least one occasion, AI
even sprung for donuts (definitely not worth more than the $5 limit on gifts). While
no one has gotten everything they wanted, the collaboration has been of high
quality and the product, in my opinion, is reasonable.
John Flora also deserves credit, as does Fritz Knaak for reviewing countless
editions of both franchises. I suspect that both of them had a lot more fun with
this reading than I did.

SECTION 3. CONDITIONS OF USE.
3.1 Location of Facilities. Gas Facilities must be located, constructed, installed and maintained
so as not to interfere with the existing City Utility System or the safety and convenience of
� ordinary travel along and over Public Ways. Gas Facilities may be located on Public
Grounds as determined by the City. The Company's construction, reconstruction, operation,
repair, maintenance and location of Gas Facilities is subject to other ordinances and regulation
of the City, with the requirements of such being no more restrictive than those applicable to
other energy suppliers requiring the use of the Public Way.
3.2 Field Location. Upon request by the City, the company must provide field locations for any
of its Gas Facilities within the period of time required by Minnesota State Statute 216D.
3.3 Permit Required. The Company may not open or disturb the surface of any Public Way or
Public Ground without first having obtained a permit from the City, if required by a separate
ordinance, for which the City may impose a reasonable fee. The permit conditions imposed
on the Company may not be more burdensome than those imposed on other utilities for
similar facilities or work. The Company may, however open and disturb the surface of any
Pubic Way or Public Ground without a permit if (i) an emergency exists requiring the
immediate repair of Gas Facilities and (ii) the Company gives notice to the city before, if
possible, commencement of the emergency repair. Within two business days after
commencing the repair, the Company must apply for any required permits and pay the
required fees.
3.4 Restoration. After completing work requiring the opening of a Public Way or Public
Ground, the Company must restore the same, including paving and its foundation, to the
condition formerly existing and maintain the paved surfaces in good condition for two years
thereafter. The work must be completed as promptly as weather permits. If the Company
does not promptly perform and complete the work, remove all dirt, rubbish, equipment and
material, and restore the Public Way or Public Ground, the City may, after demand to the
Company to cure and the passage of a reasonable period of time not less than five calendar
days following the demand, make the restoration at the expense of the Company. The
Company must pay to the City the cost of such work done for or performed by the City,
including administrative expense and overhead, plus ten percent of cost and administrative
expense. This remedy is in addition to any other remedies available to the City for
noncompliance with this section. Given the remedy outlined in this section 3.4 available to the
City for noncompliance by the Company, the City hereby waives any requirement for the
Company to post a construction performance bond, certificate of insurance, letter of credit or
any other form of security or assurance that may be required, under separate existing or future
ordinance of the City.
3
16.07
3.5 Company Protection of Gas Facilities in Public Ways. The Company must take reasonable
measures to prevent the Gas Facilities from causing damage to persons or property. The
Company must take reasonable measures to protect the Gas Facilities from damage that could
be inflicted on the Facilities by persons, property or the elements. The Company and the City
will comply with all applicable laws and codes when performing work near the Gas Facilities.
3.6 Notice of Improvements. The City must give the Company reasonable notice of plans for
improvements to Public Ways or Public Ground. The notice must contain; (i) the nature and
character of the improvements, (ii) the Public Ways or Public Grounds upon which the
improvements are to be made, (iii) the extent of the improvements, (iv) the time when the City
will start the work, and, (v) if more than one Public Way or Public Ground is involved, the
order in which the work is to proceed. The notice must be given to the Company a sufficient
length of time in advance of the actual commencement of the work to permit the Company to
make any necessary additions, alterations, or repairs to its Gas Facilities. If streets are at final
width and grade and the City has installed underground sewer and water mains and service
connections to the property line abutting the streets prior to a permanent paving or resurfacing
of such streets, and the Company's main is located under such street, the City may require the
Company to install gas service connections prior to such paving or resurfacing, if it is
apparent that gas service will be required during the five years following the paving or
resurfacing.
SECTION 4. RELOCATIONS.
4.1 Relocation of Gas Facilities in Public Ways. If the City determines by the proper exercise
of its police power to vacate a Public Way for a City improvement project, or to grade,
regrade or change the alignment of any Public Way, or construct or reconstruct any City
Utility System in any Public Way, the City may order the Company to relocate its Gas
Facilities at the Company's expense. The City must give the Company sufficient notice of
plans to vacate for a City improvement project, or to grade, re-grade, or change the alignment
of any Public Way or to construct or reconstruct any City Utility System. If a relocation is
ordered within five (5) years of a prior relocation of the same Gas Facilities, which was made
at Company expense, the City will reimburse the company on a time and material basis for
Non-Betterment Costs. If any subsequent relocation is required because of the extension of a
City Utility System to a previously unserved area, the City may require the Company to make
the subsequent relocation at the Company's expense. Nothing in this ordinance requires the
Company to relocate, remove, replace or reconnect its Facilities at the Company's expense
where such relocation, removal, replacement or reconstruction is solely for the convenience of
the City and is not reasonably necessary for the construction or reconstruction of a Public
Way or City Utility System or other City improvement. The City will not require the removal
of abandoned natural gas facilities, unless these facilities are in direct conflict with a Public
Way grade change or proposed City Utility System or City improvement. The provisions of
this section 4.1 apply only to Gas Facilities constructed in reliance on this franchise and the
Company does not waive its rights under an easement in the Public Way.
4.2 Relocation of Gas Facilities in Public Ground. The City may, by the proper exercise of its
police power, require the Company to relocate the Gas Facilities within or remove the Gas
Facilities from Public Ground, upon a finding by City that the Gas Facilities have become or
will become a substantial impairment of the public use or enjoyment to which the Public
Ground is or will be put. The relocation or removal will be at the Company's expense. T'he
. 1 '
•�
provisions of this Section 4.2 apply only to Gas Facilities constructed in reliance on this
franchise and the Company does not waive its rights under an easement or prescriptive right in
the Public Ground. The City will not require the removal of abandoned natural Gas Facilities
in Public Ground, unless these facilities have become or will become a substantial impairment
of the public use or enjoyment to which the Public Ground is or will be put.
4.3 Vacation of Public Ways. The City must give the Company at least three-weeks' Notice of
the proposed vacation of a Public Way. Except where required for a City street or other
improvement project or as otherwise provided in Section 4.1, the Vacation of a Public Way,
after the installation of Gas Facilities, does not deprive the Company of its rights to operate
and maintain the Gas Facilities until the reasonable cost of relocating the same and the loss
and expense resulting from such relocation are first paid to the Company by the City. If the
vacation of Public Way does not require the relocation of existing Gas Facilities, the City
shall reserve a utility easement to the Company, created by and within the document
establishing the vacation, or the City will preserve a right-of-way in the manner permitted by
law.
4.4 Projects with Federal Funding. Relocation, removal or rearrangement of any Gas Facilities
made necessary because of the extension into or through the City of a federally-aided highway
project shall be governed by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 161.46.
SECTION 5. DEFENSE AND INDEMNIFICATION.
5.1 Terms. The Company shall indemnify, keep and hold the City, its elected officials, officers,
employees, and agents free and harmless from any and all claims and actions on account of
injury or death of persons or damage to property occasioned by the construction, maintenance,
repair or removal of Gas Facilities on or across the Public Way and the Public Ground of the
City, unless such injury or damage is the result of negligence of the City, its elected officials,
employees, officers, or agents. The City shall not be entitled to reimbursement for its costs
incurred prior to notification to the Company of claims or actions and a reasonable
opportunity for the Company to accept and undertake the defense.
5.2 Litigation. If such a suit is brought against the City under circumstances where the
agreement in this Section 5 to indemnify applies, the Company at its sole cost and expense
will defend the City in such suit if Notice thereof is promptly given to the Company within a
reasonable period. If the Company is required to indemnify and defend, it will thereafter have
control of such litigation, but the Company may not settle such litigation without the consent
of the City, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. This section is not as to third
parties a waiver of any defense or immunity otherwise available to the City; and the
Company, in defending any action on behalf of the City is entitled to assert in any action
every defense or immunity that the City could assert in its own behalf.
SECTION 6. SUCCESSORS IN INTEREST.
6.1 Successors in Interest. This ordinance and the rights and obligations conferred hereby, is
binding on and inures to the benefit of the City and its successors and on the Company and its
successors and permitted assigns.
5
16.09
SECTION 7. FRANCHISE FEE.
7.1 Separate Ordinance. During the term of the franchise hereby granted, and in lieu of any
permit, licensing, or other fees, charges, or costs imposed on the Company for providing gas
service or performing work necessary to provide gas service in the City during the term of this
franchise, the City may impose on the Company a franchise fee. In addition to the franchise
fee, the Company shall be required to pay only such other fees, charges, costs or ta�ces which
are generally required to be paid by other businesses or persons in the city. The franchise fee
must be imposed by a separate ordinance adopted by the City Council, which ordinance may
not be adopted until at least 60 days after Notice enclosing such proposed ordinance has been
served upon the Company by certified mail. A fee imposed under this section does not
become effective unti160 days after Notice enclosing the adopted ordinance has been served
upon the Company by certified mail.
7.2 Condition of Fee. The separate ordinance imposing the fee shall not be effective against the
Company unless it lawfully imposes a fee or tax of the same or greater equivalent amount on
the sale andlor delivery of energy within the City by any other energy supplier, provided that,
as to such supplier, the City has the authority to require a franchise fee or impose a tax. The
Company may petition the City to exempt the franchise fee applicable to customers who (i)
physically bypass or (ii) unequivocally document in writing their intention and ability to
physically bypass the Company's Gas Facilities for economic reasons, including the existence
of a franchise fee. The City shall not unreasonably withhold such exemption in franchise fees
for such customers.
7.3 Calculation of Fee. The City may impose the franchise fee: (i) as a combination of
percentage of gross revenues received from customers in the Residential Customer Class for
its utility operations within the City and as a flat meter fee per customer, for customers in non-
residential customer classes, or (ii) as a flat meter fee per customer within the City, or (iii) as
a fee based on units of gas delivered to any class of retail customers within the corporate
limits of the City. The method of imposing the franchise fee described above: percent of
revenue (i), flat fee (ii), or per unit fee (iii), may differ for each customer class. If prior to the
expiration of this ordinance, customers in Minnegasco's Residential Customer Class begin to
purchase and/or transport gas from companies other than Minnegasco, the City may only
impose the flat fee method (ii) or the units of gas method (iii), as a way of collecting fees. If
the percentage of gross revenue method (i) has previously been implemented, it must be
changed to method (ii) or method (iii).
7.4 Collection of the Fee. The franchise fee will be payable not less often than quarterly and �
based on any of the alternative formulas described in Section 7.3 during complete billing
months of the period for which payment is to be made. The franchise fee formula may be
changed by ordinance from time to time; however, each change must meet the same notice
requirements and may not be made more often than annually. The fee may not exceed any
amount that the Company may legally charge to its customers, prior to payment to the City,
by imposing a surcharge equivalent to such fee in its rates of gas service. The Company may
pay the City the fee based upon the surcharge billed, subject to subsequent reductions for
uncollectibles or customer refunds. The Company agrees to make available for inspection by
the City at reasonable times all records necessary to audit the Company's determination of the
franchise fee payments.
6
16.10
SECTION 8. LIMITATION ON APPLICABILITY.
8.1 Limitation on Applicability. This Ordinance constitutes a franchise agreement between the
City and the Company. No provision of this franchise inures to the benefit of any third
person, including the public at lazge, so as to constitute any such person as a third-party
beneficiary of the agreement or of any one or more of the terms hereof, or otherwise give rise
to any cause of action for any person not a party hereto.
SECTION 9. PREVIOUS FRANCHISES SUPERSEDED.
9.1 Previous Franchise Superseded. This franchise supersedes and replaces previous franchises
granted to the Company or its predecessors.
SECTION 10. AMENDMENTS.
10.1 Amendments. This ordinance may be amended at any time by the City. An amendatory
ordinance becomes effective upon the filing of the Company's written consent thereto.
SECTION 11. CHANGE IN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
11.1 Change in Government. Any change in the form of government of the City shall not affect
the validity of this Ordinance. Any governmental unit succeeding the City shall, without the
consent of Company, succeed to all of the rights and obligations of the City provided in this
Ordinance.
SECTION 12. SEVERABILITY.
12.1 Severability. If any portion of this franchise is found unenforceable for any reason, the
validity of the remaining provisions will not be affected.

fees and expenses of this mediator. If a mediator is not used or if the parties are unable to
resolve the dispute within 30 days after first meeting with the selected mediator, either party
may commence an action in District Court to interpret and enforce this franchise or for such
other relief as may be permitted by law or equity for breach of contract, or either party may
take any other action permitted by law.
SECTION 3. LOCATION, OTHER REGULATIONS.
3.1 Location of Facilities. Electric Facilities sha11 be located, constructed and maintained so as
not to interfere with the safety and convenience of ordinary travel along and over Public
Ways and so as not to disrupt normal operation of any City Utility System previously
installed therein. Electric Facilities may be located on Public Grounds as determined by the
City. Company's construction, reconstruction, operation, repair, maintenance and location
of Electric Facilities shall be subject to other reasonable regulations of the City to the extent
not inconsistent with the terms of this franchise agreement.
2
17.03
3.2 Field Locations. Company sha11 provide field locations for its underground Electric
Facilities within City consistent with the requirements of Minnesota Statutes, Chapter
216D.
3.3 Permits Required. Company shall not open or disturb the surface of any Public Way or
Public Ground for any purpose without first having obtained a permit from the City, if
required by a separate ordinance, for which the City may impose a reasonable fee. Pernut
conditions imposed on Company shall not be more burdensome than those imposed on
other utilities for similar facilities or work. Company may, however, open and disturb the
surface of any Public Way or Public Ground without permission from the City where an
emergency exists requiring the immediate repair of Electric Facilities. In such event
Company shall notify the City by telephone to the office designated by the City as soon as
practicable. Not later than the second working day thereafter, Company shall obtain any
required permits and pay any required fees.
3.4 Restoration. After undertaking any work requiring the opening of any Public Way or
Public Ground, Company shall restore the same, including paving and its foundation, to as
good a condition as formerly existed, and shall maintain any paved surface in good
condition for two years thereafter. The work shall be completed as promptly as weather
permits, and if Company shall not promptly perform and complete the work, remove a11
dirt, rubbish, equipment and material, and put the Public Way or Public Ground in the said
condition, the City sha11 have, after demand to Company to cure and the passage of a
reasonable period of time following the demand, but not to exceed five days, the right to
make the restoration at the expense of Company. Company shall pay to the City the cost of
such work done for or performed by the City. This remedy shall be in addition to any other
remedy available to the City for noncompliance with this Section 3.4, but the City hereby
waives any requirement for Company to post a construction performance bond, certificate
of insurance, letter of credit or any other form of security or assurance that may be required,
under a separate existing or future ordinance of the City, of a person or entity obtaining the
City's permission to install, replace or maintain facilities in a Public Way.
3.5 Shared Use of Poles. Company shall make space available on its poles or towers for City
fire, water utility, police or other City facilities whenever such use will not interfere with the
use of such poles or towers by Company, by another electric utility, by a telephone utility,
or by any cable television company or other form of communication company. In addition,
the City shall pay for any added cost incurred by Company because of such use by City.
3.6 Avoid Damage to Electric Facilities. Nothing in this Ordinance relieves any person from
liability arising out of the failure to exercise reasonable care to avoid damaging Electric
Facilities while performing any activity.
3.7 Notice of Improvements. The City must give Company reasonable notice of plans for
improvements to Public Ways or Public Ground where the City has reason to believe that
Electric Facilities may affect or be affected by the improvement. The notice must contain:
(i) the nature and character of the improvements, (ii) the Public Ways and Public Crrounds
3
17.04
upon which the improvements are to be made, (iii) the extent of the improvements, (iv) the
time when the City will start the work, and (v) if more than one Public Way or Public
Ground is involved, the order in which the work is to proceed. The notice must be given to
Company a sufficient length of time in advance of the actual commencement of the work to
permit Company to make any necessary additions, alterations or repairs to its Electric
Facilities.
SECTION 4. RELOCATIONS.
4.1 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ways. Except as provided in Section 4.3, if the
City determines to vacate a Public Way for a City improvement project, or at City's cost to
grade, regrade, or change the line of any Public Way, or construct or reconstruct any City
Utility System in any Public Way, it may order Company to relocate its Electric Facilities
located therein if relocation is reasonably necessary to accomplish the City's proposed
public improvement. Company shall relocate its Electric Facilities at its own expense. The
City shall give Company reasonable notice of plans to vacate for a City improvement
project, or to grade, regrade, or change the line of any Public Way or to construct or
reconstruct any City Utility System. If a relocation is ordered within five years of a prior
relocation of the same Electric Facilities, which was made at Company expense, the City
sha11 reimburse Company for Non-Betterment Costs on a time and material basis, provided
that if a subsequent relocation is required because of the extension of a City Utility System
to a previously unserved area, Company may be required to make the subsequent relocation
at its expense. Nothing in this Ordinance requires Company to relocate, remove, replace or
reconstruct at its own expense its Electric Facilities where such relocation, removal,
replacement or reconstruction is solely for the convenience of the City and is not reasonably
necessary for the construction or reconstruction of a Public Way or City Utility System or
other City improvement.
4.2 Relocation of Electric Facilities in Public Ground. Except as may be provided in Section
4.3, City may require Company at Company's expense to relocate or remove its Electric
Facilities from Public Ground upon a finding by City that the Electric Facilities have
become or will become a substantial impairment to the existing or proposed public use of
the Public Ground.
4.3 Projects with Federal Funding. Relocation, removal, or rearrangement of any Company
Electric Facilities made necessary because of the extension into or through City of a
federally-aided highway project sha11 be govemed by the provisions of Minnesota Statutes
Section 161.46 as supplemented or amended. It is understood that the right herein granted
to Company is a valuable right. City shall not order Company to remove or relocate its
Electric Facilities when a Public Way is vacated, improved or realigned because of a
renewal or a redevelopment plan which is financially subsidized in whole or in part by the
Federal Govemment or any agency thereof, unless the reasonable Non-Betterment Costs of
such relocation and the loss and expense resulting therefrom are first paid to Company, but
the City need not pay those portions of such for which reimbursement to it is not available.
4
17.05
4.4 No Waiver. The provisions of Section 4 apply only to Electric Facilities conshucted in
reliance on a franchise and Company does not waive its rights under an easement or
prescriptive right, or State or County permit.
SECTION 5. TREE TRIMMING.
Company may trim all trees and shrubs in the Public Ways and Public Grounds of City interfering
with the proper construction, operation, repair and maintenance of any Electric Facilities installed
hereunder, provided that Company shall save the City hannless from any liability arising therefrom,
and subject to permit or other reasonable regulation by the City.
SECTION 6. INDENINIFICATION.
6.1 Indemnity of City. Company shall indemnify, keep and hold the City free and hazrriless
from any and all liability on account of injury to persons or damage to property occasioned
by the construction, maintenance, repair, inspection, the issuance of permits, or the
operation of the Electric Facilities located in the Public Ways and Public Grounds. The
City shall not be indemnified for losses or claims occasioned through its own negligence
except for losses or claims arising out of or alleging the City's negligence as to the issuance
of permits for, or inspection of, Company's plans or work. The City shall not be
indemnified if the injury or damage results from the performance in a proper manner of acts
reasonably deemed hazardous by Company, and such performance is nevertheless ordered
or directed by City after notice of Company's determination.
6.2 Defense of City. In the event a suit is brought against the City under circumstances where
this agreement to indemnify applies, Company at its sole cost and expense shall defend the
City in such suit if written notice thereof is promptly given to Company within a period
wherein Company is not prejudiced by lack of such notice. If Company is required to
indemnify and defend, it will thereafter have control of such litigation, but Company may
not settle such litigation without the consent of the City, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld. This section is not, as to third parties, a waiver of any defense or
immunity otherwise available to the City; and Company, in defending any action on behalf
of the City shall be entitled to assert in any action every defense or immunity that the City
could assert in its own behalf.
SECTION 7. VACATION OF PUBLIC WAYS.
The City shall give Company at least two weeks prior written notice of a proposed vacation of a
Public Way. Except where required for a City improvement project, the vacation of any Public
Way, after the installation of Electric Facilities, shall not operate to deprive Company of its rights
to operate and maintain such Electric Facilities, until the reasonable cost of relocating the same and
the loss and expense resulting from such relocation are first paid to Company. In no case, however,
sha11 City be liable to Company for failure to specifically preserve a right-of-way under Minnesota
Statutes, Section 160.29.
5
17.06
SECTION 8. CHANGE IN FORM OF GOVERNMENT.
Any change in the form of government of the City shall not afFect the validity of this Ordinance.
Any governmental unit succeeding the City sha11, without the consent of Company, succeed to all
of the rights and obligations of the City provided in this Ordinance.
SECTION 9. FRANCHISE FEE.
9.1 Fee Schedule. During the term of the franchise hereby granted, and in lieu of any pernut or
other fees being imposed on Company, the City may impose on Company a franchise fee
not to exceed an amount determined by collecting the amounts indicated in a Fee Schedule
set forth in a separate ordinance, as a percentage of Gross Revenues from the Public Street
& Highway Lighting Class, as a percentage of Gross Revenues or a monthly meter charge
from the Residential Class, or as a monthly meter charge from any other Customer
Classification, from each customer in the designated Company Customer Classification for
electric service at each and every customer location within the City based on a Fee Schedule
form similaz to the following:
Customer Classification
Residential
Small C& I and Municipal With No Demand Chazge
Small C& I and Municipal With Demand Charge
Large C& I- Secondary Voltage
Lazge C& I- Primary Voltage & Above
Public Street & Highway Lighting
Amount per Month
The franchise fee amount collected from each and every customer location in a Customer
Classification shall be determined so that the total franchise fee amount collected annually
from all customers in such Customer Classification does not exceed what is estimated by
Company to be four percent of the total annual Gross Revenues from such Customer
Classification. The franchise fee imposed on all customers within a non-residential
Customer Classification shall not exceed an amount which is estimated by Company to be
five percent of the average annual bill collected from customers in the Sma11 Customer
Group in such Customer Classification. The Small Customer Group for each non-
residential Customer Classification with more than 50 customers shall constitute 25 percent
of the actual customers within the City in such Customer Classification which aze estimated
by Company to be the customers from which Company collects its lowest annual revenues
within such Customer Classification. The Small Customer Group for each non-residential
Customer Classification with 50 or fewer customers shall constitute ten percent of the actual
customers within the City in such Customer Classification which are estimated by
Company to be the customers from which Company collects its lowest annual revenues
within such Customer Classification.. Company shall within 60 days of City's request
provide City with revenue estimates setting forth the revenues from the Sma11 Customer
group for planning a Fee Schedule.
6
17.07
9.2 Separate Ordinance. The franchise fee shall be imposed by a separate ordinance duly
adopted by the City Council, which ordinance shall not be adopted until at least 60 da.ys
after written notice enclosing such proposed ordinance has been served upon Company by
certified mail. The fee shall not become effective until at least 60 days after written notice
enclosing such adopted ordinance has been served upon Company by certified mail.
Section 2.5 sha11 constitute the sole remedy for solving disputes between Company and the
City in regard to the interpretation of, or enforcement of, the separate ordinance. No action
by the City to implement a separate ordinance will commence until this Ordinance is
effective. A separate ordinance which imposes a lesser franchise fee on the Residential
Class than the franchise fee imposed on any other Customer Classification, measured as a
percentage of estimated total annual Gross Revenues from all customers in each such class,
sha11 not be effective against Company. The payment of a franchise fee as provided by this
Section 9.2 does not relieve Company from paying fees to City unrelated to the installation,
ownership or operation of Electric Facilities, such as building pernut fees.
9.3 Terms Defined. For the purpose of this Section 9, the following definitions apply:
9.3.1 "Customer Classification" refers to the classes listed on the Fee Schedule and as defined or
determined in Company's electric tariffs on file with the Commission.
9.3.2 "Fee Schedule" refers to the schedule in Section 9.1 setting forth an amount per month for
various customer classes.
9.33 "Gross Revenues" for each Customer Classification means all sums received from
Company billings for the sale or delivery of electricity to its retail customers within the
corporate limits of the city within a Customer Classification, excluding any surcharge, sales
tax, miscellaneous tariff charges or any similar addition to Company's charges to customers
for the purpose of reimbursing Company for the franchise fee, sales tax, or similar charge.
9.4 Collection of the Fee. The franchise fee shall be payable quarterly and shall be based on the
amount collected by Company during complete billing months during the period for which
payment is to be made by imposing a surcharge equal to the designated franchise fee for the
applicable Customer Classification in all customer billings for electric service in each class.
The payment shall be due the last business day of the month following the period for which
the payment is made. The franchise fee may be changed by ordinance from time to time;
however, each change shall meet the same notice requirements and not occur more often
than annually and no change shall require a collection from any customer for electric
service in excess of the amounts specifically permitted by this Section 9. The time and
manner of collecting the franchise fee is subject to the approval of the Commission. No
franchise fee shall be payable by Company if Company is legally unable to first collect an
amount equal to the franchise fee from its customers in each applicable class of customers
by imposing a surcharge in Company's applicable rate for electric service. Company may
pay the City the fee based upon the surcharge billed subject to subsequent reductions to
account for uncollectibles, refunds and correction of erroneous billings. Company agrees to
make its records available for inspection by the City at reasonable times provided that the
7
17.08
City and its designated representative agree in writing not to disclose any information which
would indicate the amount paid by any identifiable customer or customers or any other
information regazding identified customers.
9.5 Conditions on the Fee. The separate ordinance imposing the fee shall not be effective
against Company unless the separate ordinance lawfully imposes and the City quarterly or
more often collects a fee or tax of the same or greater equivalent amount on the receipts
from sales of energy within the City from every other energy supplier, provided that, as to
such a supplier, the City has the authority to require a franchise fee or to impose a tax. The
"same or greater equivalent amount" shall be measured, if practicable, by comparing
amounts collected as a franchise fee from each similar customer, or by comparing, as to
similar customers, the percentage of the annual bill represented by the amount collected for
the franchise fee purposes. The franchise fee or tax shall be applicable to energy sales for
any energy use related to heating, cooling, or lighting, as well as to the supply of energy
needed to run machinery and appliances on premises located within or adjacent to the City,
but shall not apply to energy sales for the purpose of providing fuel for vehicles.
9.6 Exclusive Electric Service. Company is currently the exclusive provider of retail electric
service to its customers within the City in accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Section
216B37 et seq. If Company is no longer the sole supplier of electric energy for any class
of customers from which it is collecting a franchise fee based on a percentage of Gross
Revenues, Company's obligation to collect and pay a franchise fee on such retail electric
service shall ternunate upon 20 days Notice to City. Company will agree at City's .request
to amend this franchise agreement to collect a monthly meter charge from such a class of
customers which will result in the collection of approximately the same total franchise fee
amount for the class as was being collected by applying the percentage fee.
SECTION 10. PROVISIONS OF ORDINANCE.
10.1 Severability. Every section, provision, or part of this Ordinance is declazed separate from
every other section, provision, or part; and if any section, provision, or part shall be held
invalid, it shall not affect any other section, provision, or part. Where a provision of any
other City ordinance conflicts with the provisions of this Ordinance, the provisions of this
Ordinance shall prevail.
10.2 Limitation on Applicability. This Ordinance constitutes a franchise agreement between
the City and Company as the only parties and no provision of this franchise shall in any
way inure to the benefit of any third person (including the pub�ic at large) so as to
constitute any such person as a third party beneficiary of the agreement or of any one or
more of the terms hereof, or otherwise give rise to any cause of action in any person not a
party hereto.
17.09
SECTION 11. AMENDMENT PROCEDURE.
Either party to this franchise agreement may at any time propose that the agreement be amended to
address a subject of concern and the other party will consider whether it agrees that the amendment
is mutually appropriate. If an amendment is agreed upon, this Ordinance may be amended at any
time by the City passing a subsequent ordinance declaring the provisions of the amendment,
which amendatory ordinance sha11 become effective upon the filing of Company's written
consent thereto with the City Clerk within 90 days after the effective date of the amendatory
ordinance.

The Mitigation Plan must also include the mirigation measures tbat are proposed to avoid or mitigtte
potential environmental impacts.
PROCESS
Medtronic's consultam, SRF Consulting Group, Inc., prepared the AUAR draft. Pri� W distn'bution
of the draft, several meetings occ�rred betwcen the Medtronic team and staff and the City's
cons�iltants. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority authorized staff to hire Linda Fisher, of
Larkin, Hoffi�an, Daly, 8t Lindgren, to act as the City's emironmemal legal counsel. The Authority
also retained Jim Benshoof of Benshoof and Associates to review the traff c anatysis performed by
SRF, and David Braslaq of David Braslau Associates, Inc., to review the noise and air quality
analysis.
The draft AUAR was distnbuted on January 11, 1999 to the list of agencies and h'braries as raq�rired
by the Minnesota EQB. A press release was issued to the Fridley Focns, and a legal ad and a general
advertisement was published notifying the general public about the diaft AUAR document The 30-
day comment period concluded on Febniary 10, 1999. A neighborhood informational meeting was
also held on Thursday, February 4, 1999, wtrich was videotaped and re-broadcast on Channe135.
18.01
an�s
4R/99
The draft AUAR was reviewed by the Emironmental Quality Commission an January 19,1999 and
the Planning Commission on Februaty 3, 1999. There was general ooncern about water quality
impacts to Moore Lake, and the impact from additional lanes on Highway 65. Rice Creek Watershed
District appraval is required for development on the east half of the site, and to date, Medtronic has
been able to meet those requirements (a permit application is pending at Rice Creek). In addition, it
has been determined that a sheet pile wall can be constractted in certain areas along the causeway
which would not require placing fill below the ordinary lrigh water elevation; h�wever, additional
borings must be completed in certain areas to verify this determination Responses to the
Commissions' comments are described in detail in Appendix F of the Final AUAR.
RESPONSES TO DRAFT COMMENTS AND PREPARATION OF FINAL AUAR AND
MITIGATION PLAN
Several agencies submitted comments, but there were no adverse commenis or negative objections
raised. After reviewing these comments plus We comments received from the public and the city
advisory commissions, the Final AUAR and lvfidgation Plan was prepared a� distributed on March
22, 1999.
To follow is a synopsis of the issues that were addressed in the Final document as opposed to the
initial draft:
• Item 6, page 3 was amended to reflect the Master Plan presented by Medtronic Inc. While
1,600,000 square feet remained as the maximum amou� of development, Medtronic refined its
Master Plan as 1,350,000 square feet of office/research, 50,000 square feet of education, and
200,000 square feet of light industrial. The ori�nal mixture included Sq000 square feet of motel
and restaurant use, and 100,000 square feet of light industrial.
• Item 22, page 30 describes the trip generation comparisons between the original draft AUAR
development scenario and the Master Plan proposed scenario. The analysis shows the Master
Plan concept generating slightly less than the original scenario. An office trip generation rate
was used for the light industrial square footage since it represents the worst case conditions in
case the company decided to create additional office space.
• Item 23, page 39 shows the air quality analysis for the 57'� Avenue and University Avenue
intersection in the year 2010. This was added to determine if there would be air quality
exceedances at this intersecdon alone by the year 2010 without a proposed free right turn lane. If
there were exceedances, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency would have required the City
to complete the improvements in the Indirect Source Permit. It was determined that the carbon
mono�cide levels will be faz below state standards even without constiuction of proposed rigM
turn lane. As a result, the mitigation plan srtates that the City will evaluate the traff c capacity of
tlus intersection by 2010, and determine if the free right tum lane is necessary.
• Item 24, page 40, describes the air quality impacts from the Central Plant facility. The Cential
Plant consolidates the heating and cooling faciliries in one building. Natural gas will be the
primary fuel source with fuel oil or LP gas as back-up sources. Emissions from natural g�s
powered heating units consist of primarily carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and water. The
only "visible" emissions would be condensadon of water vapor from the boiler stacks on cold
winter days. A stationary source air quality permit must be obtained from the MPCA.
• Item 25, page 44, describes the noise impacts from the cooling towers in the Cemral Plant.
Specific mitigdtion measures' are required in the mitigntion plan which require Medtronic to
install a noise barrier at the top of the Central Plant to comply with state noise standards. These
requirements are also stipulations in the Master Plan approval process.
• Appendix A, containing the maps for the site, was u�dated to reflect the proposed Master Plan
and the new study area boundary which includes the single family hames to the north of the site.

4R/99
The Minnesota Department of Transportation sent a oomment letter, but it was received after the
public�tion of the Final AUAR and Mirigation Plan. It is suggested that the Council make a motion W
receive it and enter it i�o the record.
MTTIGATION PLAN
The last section in the document in the Mitigation Plan. State rules require Wai the Mirigation Plan
idenrify the potential environmental impacts and mitigation measures wlrich will be imposed on the
development in order to avoid or reduce environmental impacts. Funding sources must aLso be
identified. The Plan identifies six potential emironmental impacts and ide�ifies mitigation measu�+es
for each impact:
1) Traffic
Page 5 of the Mitigatiop Plan identifies the traff c impro�vements that have oommitted funding
sources. They are:
• The City will responsible for completing the striping improvements on 57'� Avenue
and 7'� Street
Medtronic is responsible for funding the reali8nment of Bridgewater Parkway
through the site.
The MPCA will require the City to submit a resolution or appropriate dacument indicating
that the City will complete the striping improvements, and will also require the same of
Medtronic as pert of the MPCA's Indirect Source Permi� This requirement is proposed
because the traffic analysis indicated that these improvements would be completed during
project development and are part of the reason why the air quality results are below state
standards. The striping improvements need to be completed by 2010 and the new parkway
must be completed by 2005 (the years that the air qnality results were projected). Staff will
be processing a resolution for Council approval in the near future regarding We striping
improvements. City staff is evaluating completing these improvements in the near future in
order to "train" the tiaffic flow early on in the development. The redevelopment conttact with
Medtronic will be the company's commitment to completing Bridgewater Parkway.
The additional lanes on Highway 65 and the free right tum on 57'� Avenue and University are
not required miti�tive projects, but the City should be making every effort to identify
appropriate funding sources.
2) Surface Water
This section requires Medtronic to construct the appropriate storm water ponds in compliance
with all local, regional, state and national permit requirements. .
3) Wastewater
Prior to construction of Phase II, an additional sewer line nceds to be constructed or the
existing line in 57`� Avenue west of the project needs to be replaced with a larger line. The
party responsible for funding the improvement is still being determined. Possible funding
sources would include cax incremeni financing, city capital improvement funds, or developer
contribution. This issue will be finalized with negotiadon of the development agreements.
4) Air Qoality
Medtronic will responsible for obtaining a stationary source permit for the Cential Plant
facility. A draft Indirect Souice Permit has been issued subject to completion of a 30-day
18.03
an�ss
public comment period. The City must also submit a resolution committing to th� �iriping
improvements and svbmit a"copy of the redevelapment contiact regazding the co�uction of
the realigaed parkway prior to issuance of the final Indirect Source Permit
5) Noise
Construction noise will be limited to the daytime hours in accordance with City ordinances (7
AM to 9 PM, Monday through Friday, and 9 AM to 9 PM on Saturdays).
Noise from �c generated on the site will be miti� by a Transportation Demand
Managemern Plan that is required to be submitted by the construction of Phase II.
Several stip�ilations are suggested regarding the noise attenuation from the cooling towers in
the Central Plant facility. These stipulations require construction of a noise wall on top of the
plant to insure that noise levels are below state noise standards. The stipulations have been
recommended as part of the Master Plan approval.
Medtronic is required to complete and/or conform to these requirements.
6) Trails
Medtronic is required to reconstruct the bikeway/walkway along the north side of the
parkway.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Council approve the resolution as presented adopting the Final AUAR and
Midgation Plan for the Fridley Lake Pointe Center for Medtronic Inc.

SUBJECT: Fridlev Lake Pointe Center
Mn/DOT Environmental Review AUAR99-001
Northwest Quadrant of Trunk Highway (TH) 694 and TH 65
Fridley, Anoka County
C.S. 0285
The Metro Division of the Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) has reviewed the
Fridley Lake Pointe Center Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) for impacts to the state
highway system. We apologize for the lengthy delay in responding to this submittal and find the
AUAR acceptable with consideration of the following comments.
The proposed development must maintain all current drainage patterns and rates. We will
require a Mn/DOT storm water drainage permit if the proposed development is to connect
to Mn/DOT's storm sewer system in the future.
We request the opportunity to review plans of greater detail when prepared. We have
many other concerns that we cannot adequately address until review of these plans. We
will address additional permit requirements then.
Based on past discussions, we strongly encourage the city and project proposer to continue
to work with us in identifying interim solutions and a long range vision for TH 65
improvements. The City of Fridley was identified as the lead agency in funding these
improvements.
