stated they were in the process of doing some cleanup around their home and were using the
trailer to carry stuff off. They further stated they were very upset that they had received this letter
and took the letter as harassment. They stated that they felt there were several other homes in
their area that have worse violations than the trailer parked on the side of their home.
The Council responded by stating they were sorry that they took the letter as harassment, but
stated that the City's Code Enforcement Officer, Missy Daniels, was only doing her job and they
felt she did a good job. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok if the City gives extensions
on these letters. Mr. Hickok responded by answering yes.
Councilmember Billings stated that maybe the language in the letter could be changed so as not
to read so harsh. Mayor Jorgenson stated she was sorry this letter had upset them. Fritz Knaak,
City Attorney stated this letter is only to inform the residents that they were in violation of the
ordinance and was not a citation.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAy 10,1999

Mr. Gerrety asked if the addresses Ms. Daniels had written letters to was public information. Mr.
Hickok stated that they would make it available to the public.
Mr. Steve Shorma, who resides at 5916 Oakwood Manor, indicated that he too had received a
letter from the Code Enforcement Officer, Missy Daniels, about a pop-up tent trailer he had
parked in his driveway. He stated he also took the letter as harassment and after waiting a few
days, he called to discuss the letter with Councilmember Wolfe. He stated he realized he was in
violation of the code and had moved the tent trailer to the inside of his garage. He asked the
Council to take a second look at this ordinance and possibly change it.
Council stated that in talking with citizens of Fridley and in past citizen surveys, they understood
a strong code enforcement policy was what the people wanted. Council stated they felt the code
enforcement office and Missy Daniels, was doing a good job with enforcing the codes in the
City. The Council also explained that they realized there was some language in the ordinance that
did need to be addressed and that this would be something that would be looked at in the future.
Mayor Jorgenson explained that this is one of the issues that is repeatedly asked on the citizen's
survey and that a survey is to be done this year.
Mayor Jorgenson explained further that when they talk to people about code enforcement and
what they expect to see in the community, the vast majority say they would rather see a more
aggressive code enforcernent policy put into place than the one we currently have. Mayor
Jorgenson stated the largest investment that most residents of the City of Fridley have is their
home and their perception of their home as their castle.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she understood there were some items in the ordinance that
did need to be addressed such as the issue with a Winnebago and pull trailers. She stated she
believed this would be looked at later on. Councilmember Bolkcom stated this was not a dead
issue and was something that they did need to look at.
Mr. Storma also stated he would like to be added to the list of citizens to be notified of a public
hearing concerning any additional changes to this ordinance.
Ms. Judy Jones, who resides at 6735 Channel Road, addressed the Council with an issue of
heavy traffic flow on her street. Ms. Jones stated she felt a lot of people use this route to by-pass
the traffic light at Highway 65 and Mississippi St. and by doing so creates a lot of traffic in a
residential area. She stated she had been in contact with the Minnesota Department of
Transportation and presented each Councilmember with a copy of a letter she had received from
Mr. Lars Impola, P.E. with the numbers of a traffic count his department had done. Ms. Jones
suggested that maybe the city could post a sign stating something to the effect of 'no left turn
during rush hours'. She stated that her understanding from talking to Mr. Impola was that she
would need to approach the City Council to consider this.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999

Mayor Jorgenson stated that a sign is something the City would have to request from the Sta.te.
A discussion was made on the traffic in this area. It was suggested that maybe Ms. Jones could
work with a Community Service Officer on this issue.

Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, addressed the Council with a map showing the general area
of the property. After giving some history of this location, Mr.. Hickok stated that this property
has been used as a gas station since the 1950s. In 1975, the property was rezoned from C-ls to
C-2, but the zoning maps were not updated at that time. There was a special use permit issued to
Union 76 that proceeded Citgo on this property. The special use permit is for a motor fuel
operations. In addition, they are asking for a car wash facility location. City maps identify the
property as being C-1, but that is inaccurate. Based on the history of this site, it is truly zoned C-
2, and there are two parcels of land.
Mr. Hickok, stated that to the north of this location is Highway 65. There is a wooded site to the
south and then there is a developed Citgo site to the north. East of this location there are
residential homes. This property is next to a R-1 single family residential district on the east
boundary, and to the south is an apartment complex. Mr. Hickok stated that one of the things
essential for this development is that drainage has to be managed not only on this site but, there
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999
PAGE 9
is also some drainage that comes to this site from the apartment buildings and residential lots. In
their drainage plans Holiday Companies did make accommodations for that water. This site will
have an improved access to Highway 65 and Old Central once the intersection is reconstructed.
Mr. Hickok indicated that this project will not place unreasonable demands on existing public
utilities. Staff noticed that there was a possible wetland issue. Two wetland consultants have
reviewed the site to determine if any are protected wetlands. They concluded that the site most
likely was not a wetland. Additional soil testing will be completed by June 15, 1999.
Mr. Hickok stated that City staff received three letters of concern from neighborhood residents
and the Planning Commission has reviewed them. These concerns addressed excessive noise,
24-hour operation, drainage, car wash, underground storage tanks, environmental disputes, and
property values. Staff has developed stipulations, which he outlined. Staff also addressed
concerns in their analysis of those stipulations.
Mr. Hickok, stated that there has been additional information provided by the petitioner
regarding traffic comments they had received about this facility. Mr. Hickok stated the tra�c
consultant asked to have further information on the impact on this newly created intersection that
will come from Hackmann and take motorists to Central. He stated they received the inforn�ation
from the traffic consultants and this would not create a stacking conditions 9� percent of the time
the motorists where trying to exit. Staff recommends approval with 20 stipulations.
Dave Hoeschen, of the Holiday Companies was present to answer questions. Also present was
Mr. Howard Preston, traffic consultant for Holiday Companies. Discussion was made on the flow
of traffic and the impact the traffic would have on this area. Mayor Jorgenson stated she could
see on the traffic study, Central Avenue and Highway 65, West Moore Lake and Highway 65,
but there was nothing on the survey about Hackmann Avenue. Mr. Preston stated that due to the
construction out there, they did not count new traffic, instead did an estimate of traffic.
Ms. Ann Williams addressed the Council and stated she lived in the area of the proposed Holiday
gas station and was concerned about the impact the station would have. Ms. Williams stated she
now has a lot of cars using her driveway as a turn around. Councilmember Barnette asked Ms.
Williams if she feels this would significantly change the neighborhood. Ms. Williams stated she
was concerned about the safety of the children coming from the beach area during the summer.
Mayor Jorgenson asked about stop signs at Hackmann and Old Central. John Flora, Public
Works Director, stated there would be stop signs posted at the corner of the Hathaway Lane and
Hillwind Road intersection.
Ms. Rebecca Salmonson, 5850 Hackmann, stated she was concerned that this intersection would
cause a lot of accidents.
Mr. Dennis Schneider, addressed the Council with his concerns about the impact this station
would have on the neighborhood.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 10
Ms. Salmonson addressed the Council again with the concerns she had about the lighting, stating
that she lives behind the proposed station and that the light would be shining in the back of her
home. Mr. Hickok stated it would be required in the stipulations that Holiday Companies install
downcast lights. This would cut down on the lighting penetrating outward.
MOTION made by Councilmember Wolfe to deny the Special Permit.
Councilmember Billings stated that he could not support the motion to deny the Special Permit.
He stated that as he understood the ordinance as it relates to special use permits, the burden of
responsibility is on the City of Fridley to in fact determine that there were extraordinary
conditions here, such as traffic conditions, that would create a non-compatible use for the
surrounding neighborhood and for the City. Councilmember Billings stated he felt the petitioner
had demonstrated that there would not be any of these conditions.

NEW BUSINESS:
14. RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY,
MINNESOTA, A�JTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF AN EMINENT
DOMAIN PROCEEDING TO ACQUIRE FEE SIMPLY (5675 QUINCY STR�ET)
ARD1.
Ms. Dacy, Director of Community Development, stated it is necessary to reconstruct Carrie Lane
between Quincy and Jackson Streets to maintain the existing traffic pattern in the neighborhood.
The existing pavement width of Quincy and Jackson Streets is 40 feet. The existing centerline
curve radii of the existing Carrie Lane at Quincy Street is 75 feet and at Jackson Street is 50 feet.
With the realignment of Bridgewater Drive/Lake Pointe Drive, adequate room does not exist to
match the pavement width and provide the safest curve radii as well as retaining the house at
5675 Quincy Street. In addition, there would not be room to maintain a bikeway/walkway
connection, and provide adequate buffing between the neighborhood and the development.
Shifting the proposed 40-foot roadway slightly to the south to create 20 feet of area between the
north lot line and the north curb line of Carrie Lane could enhance the attached "original plan".
A row of evergreen trees could be planted in this area and would still allow for adequate
boulevard area for snow storage. In addition, there would be at least 40 feet available south of
the newly constructed Carrie Lane to plant two rows of vegetation between it and the
bikeway/walkway and the new parkway.
A 40-foot road width is preferable to the 24-foot road width depicted in Option 2A. The
transition of pavement width in Option 2A occurs at the curve of the road whereas the "original
plan" provides more room for a safer curve radius and a matching pavement width. In addition,
the 40-foot pavement width provides adequate room for two lanes of traffic, plus 8 feet of
parking area on both sides of the street. This area is necessary if a car is disabled, or for normal
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 13
parking activity. The wider pavement width also allows for smoother maneuverability for lazger
plowing vehicles and large fire trucks. The pavement width of 40-feet would enable the City to
maintain the State Aid designation on Carrie Lane. It should be noted, however, noted that the
City would need a variance on the curve radii even with the "original plan". Staff recommends
the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing initiation of eminent domain proceedings on
5675 Quincy Street.

letter was of a private matter and asked that it not be made pubic. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney,
stated that it was stated in the letter dated May 6, 1999 that Ms. Griffith did not want the
information made public and asked that Council abide by her request.
MOTION made by Councilmember Bolkcom to accept the letter dated May 6, 1999 from Ms.
Jayne Griffith addressed to the Mayor and Councilmembers, minus any attachments. Seconded

UPON A VOICE VOTE, FOUR MEMBERS VOTING AYE, AND ONE VOTE OF NAY,
MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mayor Jorgenson stated she had some concerns with passing the resolution at this Council
meeting due to the fact that the City did not have a development agreement with Medtronic and
that there were a number of items that needed to be resolved before they could get there. Mayor
Jorgenson stated she felt it was premature at this point to discuss this issue of condemnation.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they did approve this resolution tonight would it be able to be
withdrawn in 120 days.
City Attorney, Mr. Knaak, stated that yes that if it was of public interest it could be withdrawn.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Knaak, the City Attorney, that if for some reason the City
could not enter into an development agreement with Medtronic, would it be unreasonable to go
ahead with the configuration of the site that had been proposed by Medtronic with other
potential developers. City Attorney, Mr. Knaak, stated "yes". Councilmember Billings finished
by stating in which case the public interest would still stand.
Mr. Knaak, stated that the clarification was important, that the public purpose is the
configuration of a proposed road construction or re-construction in a manner that would be safer
then otherwise would fixed.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 14
Councilmember Billings stated again that it makes no difference who the developer was. Mr.
Knaak, stated that was correct.
Ms. Norma Rust , 5735 Quincy Street was appearing before Council on behalf of the Griffiths.
She stated she was a neighbor of the Griffiths and did not want to see them lose their home. She
stated she felt the City should look at Plan A and make Carrie Lane a cul-de-sac.
Councilmember Barnette asked Ms. Rust if she believed the people that signed the petition that
was circulated on April 12, 1999, did not understand that the Griffith's home would have to be
removed.
Ms. Rust stated she did believe that not everyone realized that.
Councilmemeber Bolkcom, stated that several people came up to her during the meeting in
March and said they realized it would take another home and that most people were pretty
interested in selling at that time. She felt they had realized that another home would have to be
removed.
Ms. Jayne Griffith, 5675 Quincy Street, addressed the Council and stated that she would like to
thank Medtronic for negotiations with the other six homeowners and to thank them for being
sympathetic to her family's situation. Medtronic had bent over backwards to be sensitive to her
mother's health problems. She stated they had not accepted the offer out of belligerence, but out
of caring for her mother. Ms. Griffiths stated the condemnation came out of the clear blue to
them.
Councilmember Billings asked Ms. Griffith if they had been approached by the attorney for
Medtronic.
Ms. Griffith stated they had not and that the last motion was tabled.
Councilmember Billings stated that the last motion the Council made regarding this item was to
have Medtronic re-approach Ms. Griffith's parents. Ms. Griffith stated that the understanding
was that it was tabled and Medtronic did not re-approach them. Councilmember Billings stated
he had communications from Medtronic and had conversations with the Griffith's family
attorney, and the family attorney indicated that they should not bother to put the offer back on
the table. Ms. Griffith stated she was not apprised of that.
Mayor Jorgenson read from the minutes of April 26, 1999, stating: "Motion by Councilmember
Billings to request that staff inform Medtronic that the preferable roadway configuration would
include the removal of the property at 5675 Quincy Street and the connection of Quincy Street
and Jackson Street with a typical roadway width; and that staff transmit immediately to
Medtronic a request that they re-negotiate the purchase of the property with the owners.
Furthermore, he asked that staff begin to assemble information that they felt was necessary to
help Council establish a public purpose for the possibility of condemnation of the property.
Seconded by Councilmember Barnette."
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 15
Reading further it stated that Councilmember Billings noted that this was a decision that he
hoped he would never have to be forced to make; however, he must look out for the best interests
of the entire City.
Ms. Griffith stated that she did not understand that and was not sure Medtronic understood that
also. The next day after that meeting she called her attorney to let him know what was going on.
When her attorney called Medtronic's attorney she said she had just heard about this and I guess
we can re-negotiate. Ms. Griffith stated her understanding was that it would happen at tonight's
meeting.
Councilmember Billings stated that on Wednesday or Thursday , two weeks ago, he contacted
Cindy Arndt, the attorney for Medtronic, because he wanted to make sure that she understood
that the City Council voted to ask Medtronic to put the offer back on the table. In a telephone
conversation Ms. Arndt indicated to him that she had a conversation with the Griffith's attorney
and indicated to him that she needed to speak with Mr. George, the Chairman of the Boazd, to
see if it was permissible for Medtronic to put the offer back on the table. According to Ms. Arndt
the response from the Griffith's attorney was not to bother.
Ms. Griffith stated she never heard of a conversation that took place between last Wednesday and
Thursday. Councilmember Billings stated it would now be some 10 days ago. Ms. Griffith
stated the only conversation that she knows that took place with her attorney and Ms. Arndt, took
place Tuesday, when her attorney called Ms. Arndt about the Council meeting.
Councilmember Billings stated he had talked to Ms. Arndt around two days after that.
Ms. Griffith stated that she was not aware of this. Her understanding was that everything was
tabled until the meeting on May 10, 1999. She thought Medtronic would be contacting her, and
had not heard anything from them. They would like to re-negotiate, and she cannot put her
parents though a condemnation.
Councilmember Billings stated that he hoped that Ms. Griffith would understand that some
decisions that they make appear as though they are uncaring. The Council does in fact care, arid
that is the primary reason why they had asked Medtronic to get back in touch with the Griffiths.
Council felt it would be less of an intrusion on their personal lives than to have a court
proceeding. It was his understanding that Medtronic did try to make that contact and that it was
rejected by the Griffith's attorney. He stated if he was hearing Ms. Griffith say she would like to
try and re-negotiate with Medtronic, that he would be in favor of tabling this item until next the
Council meeting to give them the opportunity of doing that.
Councilmember Billings asked Donn Hagmann, from Medtronic, if it was his understanding that
Medtronic's legal department would be willing to go to Mr. George to see if they can go to the
Griffiths and place the offer back on the table.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 16

LOCATED AT LAKE POINTE DRIVE AND BRIDGEWATER DRIVE
(WARD 1):
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director explained that the petitioner was not objecting to a
letter of credit on the installation of the street or the construction requirement the City has. The
issue is the second phase of the overlay and when the final overlay will occur and who should
pay for it. Staff recommends approval with 14 stipulations.
Mr. Hagmann stated to the Council that he spoke with Ms. Dacy and indicated that this would be
Medtronic's world headquarters. Mr. Hagmann stated that it was his understanding that
regardless of the condition of the road, they would still have to mill it down. He did not know
the exact cost, but estimated it would cost between $100,000 to $200,000.
Councilmember Billings stated as he understood that when there is a development project, they
do not put on the final coat of asphalt because during the time Phases 2 and 3 are constructed
there may be tracks from trucks, and it is the City's responsibly to maintain it. So they try to
save that final mat until the :,onstruction is done.
Mr. Hagmann stated he felt that we logical.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 17
Councilmember Billings stated that any street they build will have a life of 40 to 50 years and
about every 8 to 10 yeazs it needs to be sealcoated. He indicated that he believed that the way the
Engineering Department was looking at it is if this is a three-phase deal and Phase 2 and 3 will
not be completed for another 6 or 8 yeazs, everything will be done in that final mat. He stated
that his concern was if someone bought out Medtronic before Phases 2 and 3 were completed and
that company decided not to do Phases 2 and 3, he was not sure the City could hold them
responsible. He stated he would be willing to put language in the agreement to the effect that
Medtronic would be responsible.
Mr. Hagmann stated they were willing to go the extra mile, but it was his understanding that
whatever company was there would have to do the milling down. Mr. Hagmann stated they had
worked on this with Ms. Dacy.
Ms. Dacy stated that she e-mailed the language to Mr. Hagmann late in the day. It states that the
petitioner will install the final mat on this street prior to the development on this site of
Medtronic Inc. The successor will provide assurance to the City that the road will be maintained
for the public.
Mr. Hagmann stated they are willing to compromise with this.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, questioned the language asking if by saying "assurance" did they
mean security? He recommended the language guaranteeing that this is a legal term and one that
could be enforced.
Mr. Hagmann stated that he would take this back to Medtronic.
MOTION made by Councilmember Billings to table this item until the May 24, 1999 Council
meeting. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.

Mr. Bolin noted that this property is also under consideration for a variance request that
would decrease the required rear-yard setback from 40 feet to 19.2 feet. The Appeals
Commission approved this request at their last meeting. Additionally, the property is
under consideration for re-zoning from an R-2 District to an R-3 District, which is
required.
Mr. Bolin explained that the property directly to the north and south of the property
consists of apartment units. The property to the east is zoned R-1 (a church currently
exists on that property) and to the west is University Avenue and commercial and
industrial property further west.
Mr. Bolin provided a brief history of the property. He noted that in 1970 a settlement
was reached with owner Ed Chies to allow R-3 standards to be applied to the property
so that he could construct an 8-unit apartment building on the site. In 1986, the zoning
maps were accidentally drawn to show the property at R-3 property; however, the action
to formally change the zoning was never processed. At this time, the City is applying for
a re-zoning of the property so that it is in conformance with the settlement and what the
zoning maps have shown for the past ten years.
Mr. Bolin noted that in 1994 there was a proposal for a 7-unit condominium project that
was eventually withdrawn. A photograph was presented to depict how the property
exists today as well as a site plan, landscaping plan, elevation plans and floor plans for
the proposed project. Each unit woufd have a double car garage as well as a service
door to the garage. The front entrance doors would actually be located on the south
side of the building with a proposed concrete walkway around the property.
Mr. Bolin stated staff is recommending denial of this plat request. The parcel is large
enough to develop six units of the size proposed which would then meet all of the
setback requirements. Additionally, the proposed layout does not provide enough
green/open space. If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the Plat
request, staff recommends that the following stipulations be attached:
1. The fence shall be extended along the entire east side of the property.
2. All elements of the building must meet the current building code and be approved by
the City Building Official.
3. Concrete curbing be placed around parking lot and parking islands.
4. All parking spaces must be set back 20 feet from the front yard property line.
5. Proposed screening berm on west side of property must meet zoning code
requirements for height.
6. Proper elevations showing all 7 units must be provided to the City, to ensure that the
elevations are architecturally symmetricaL
7. The City will approve all exterior materials.
8. The use of brick, amount to be approved by City Staff, shall be required to ensure
that the buildings have similar character to nearby buildings.
9. Final landscape plan will meet code requirements and must be approved by City
Staff.
10.The proposed walkway shall be concrete.
1.02
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 5, 1999 PAGE 3
11.The Plat is conditional upon City Council approval of the variances & rezoning
requests.
12.A 12-foot utility and drainage easement to be granted along entire eastern edge of
property.
13.A 10-foot utility and drainage easement to be granted along entire southern edge of
property.
14. A storm pond maintenance agreement to be filed with the City prior to issuance of a
building permit.
15.The Plat must comply with all state regulations regarding townhome associations.
16.A park dedication fee of $750/unit must be paid prior to issuance of a building
permit.
Ms. Savage noted that the 7-unit rental condominium development previously proposed
for the prope�ty met all code requirements. This proposal, however, does not meet the
requirements. She asked what the difference was.
Mr. Bolin noted that the development, which was proposed in 1994, had single-car
garages and was smaller. The variance request, if approved by the City Council, will
allow the proposal to meet all of the city code requirements.
Ms. Savage asked if staff had discussed the possibility of reducing the size of the
development with the petitioner.
Mr. Bolin stated this has been discussed, but they have not been able to reach an
agreement.
Mr. Kuechle asked if the re-zoning would only affect this particular parcel.
Mr. Bolin stated, yes, at this time. Staff will look at the possibility of rezoning some of
the surrounding properties as well; however, that will not take place until the
Comprehensive Plan has been completed.
Ms. Savage asked when the City Council would be considering the variance request.
Mr. Bolin stated that the Council will be reviewing the replat request on May 24.
Ms. Savage asked if the surrounding property owners have expressed any concems.
Mr. Bolin stated staff has not received any letters of concern. A representative from the
church attended the Appeals Commission meeting, and addressed the church's
concerns as to this development and the problems they have had with existing tenants
in other apartments using the church property.
Mr. Kuechle stated he understood from the discussion at the Appeals Commission
meeting that there does not seem to be any designated play area nearby. Therefore,
the church property has become a main attraction for children in the area. The general
consensus of the Appeals Commission was that this appeared to be a good project and
would not severely impact the area. Whether the development was constructed at six
1.03
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 5, 1999 PAGE 4
units or at seven units did not have a big difference as to the impact it wouid have on
the church property, when combined with the other surrounding properties.
Ms. Modig asked about stipulations #8 and #10. Mr. Bolin noted that stipulation #8
requires the use of brick on the exterior so that it will tie in with other nearby buildings.
Stipulation #10 requires the walkways to be concrete. The walkways of the other two
apartments also have concrete walkways.
Mr. Oquist asked about Stipulation #4, which requires that the parking spaces be set
back 20 feet from the front yard property line. He asked whe�e the front yard property
line was.
Mr. Bolin stated this would be University Avenue.
Ms. Modig asked what formula was used to determine that the proposed plan does not
have enough green space.
Mr. Bolin stated the city code requires that the rear yard be 25% of the lot depth. If this
was applied, a 50 foot rear yard setback would be required; however, the code states
that in no cases will the City require more than a 40 foot rear yard setback. The
minimum rear yard setback is 25 feet.
Ms. Modig noted that the Innsbru�k Townhomes do not have a large rear yard.
Mr. Bolin stated the rear yard setback is based upon the actual lot size.
Mr. Hickok stated that the Innsbruck development is platted with common space around
it and surrounding the block of units. That development does have the proper setbacks
from the edge of the units to their property lines.
Mr. Saba noted that in addition to aesthetic purposes, green space also provides for
proper drainage. He asked if this has been taken into consideration.
Mr. Bolin stated that the storm pond design and the calculations, which were submitted
by the petitioner, have been reviewed and approved by the City Engineer and staff.
Mr. Tim Jawor stated when this development plan was designed, they reviewed the
1994 7-unit plat and then met with various realtors and looked at other developments
within neighboring cities to define what the market wanted. This information revealed
that what people wanted were finro-car garages, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a
moderate price range. With this development proposed as owner-occupied units, the
need for an exterior dumpster has been eliminated.
Mr. Jawor explained that they must keep these units moderately priced. By reducing
the number of units from seven to six, there will be a significant impact on the remaining
six units as far as cost. Rough calculations indicate that it would add approximately
$5,000 to $6,000 in cost per unit.
1.04
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 5, 1999 PAGE 5
Mr. Jawor stated that regarding the church's concems, they are proposing to construct a
6-foot high cedar, board on board privacy fence along the east lot line, to be maintained
by the townhome association.
Mr. Lynn Hansen stated he has owned and lived on the property to the north of this
proposed project for the past 20 years. He believes it is inevitable that something will
eventually be done with this property. The property has become a"dumping ground".
He stated he thinks this is a good plan, and it will enhance the area.
Cindy Schreiner, 7372 Symphony Street, stated her husband attended the Appeals
Commission meeting. They are concerned about the congestion in the area. A project
was approved at the end of Symphony Street and 74�' Avenue. In that project, the
garages are not even used for vehicles, as is the case with other properties near them.
They have a major parking problem on Symphony Street now. She also stated that
Melody Manor does not have a right-of-way out of their neighborhood. The only park to
service the residents of the development is approximately 1'h miles away.
Mr. Tony Schreiner, 7372 Symphony Street, stated he voiced his objection to this
development at the Appeals Commission. His concern is the traffic issue. He stated if
the City of Fridley continues to approve these developments, he sincerely hopes they
will address the traffic issue before something seriously happens on 73�d Avenue.
There are paths along the south side of 73`d Avenue which lead to the park; howeve�,
there are no pedestrian crossings to allow people in Melody Manor to get across 73
Avenue.
Mr. Hickok stated that the number of trips from the site, regardless of whether six or
seven units are approved, are within what had been approved years ago and are within
what the R-3 zoning would allow. There is a service drive along the front of the .
development, which will act as the primary access to the site from a public street. It is
reasonable to expect that a higher density development will generate more traffic.
Calculations indicate that approximately 49 trips to and from this townhouse
development would occur on a daily basis: (A single family home would generate 10 to
11 trips daily.)
Ms. Savage asked if any discussions have been centered around reducing the speed
limit on 73�d Avenue.
Mr. Hickok stated that he was not aware of any discussions, but that he will make note
of the crosswalk issue addressed by Mr. Schreiner.
Mr. Jawor noted that association documents can be drawn up requiring that all cars
must be parked inside.
Mr. Schreiner stated he would have concems that these requirements could be
changed at a later date.

DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN DISCUSSION:
Mr. Hickok reopened the discussion on the Comprehensive Plan. The Planning
Commission has hosted several neighborhood-planning sessions. He noted that Mark
Koegler of the Hoisington Koegler Group, Inc., and Mary Bujold of Ma�eld Research,
Inc., are present to discuss the elements of the Comprehensive Plan, trends, and how
these trends impact the City of Fridley.
Ms. Bujold presented information in regard to demographic/housing market trends that
are being seen around the metropolitan area, which affect the City of Fridley. The
metropolitan area is currently experiencing a housing growth. Construction continues at
1.06
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 5, 1999 PAGE 7
a rapid pace and housing resale values are increasing dramatically. She stated that
affordable housing continues to remain a key issue especially as construction and land
costs continue to increase. Rental housing construction is very low in the Twin Cities —
especially for moderate-income households where the demand is high. The turnover
rate is abnormally low in many areas, which indicates that fewer households are moving
around. Senior housing construction is escalating due to the strong demand for this
type of housing. �She stated that communities are becoming more concemed with
providing a spectrum of housing designed to meet household life-cycle needs — from
entry level to senior housing.
Ms. Bujold stated that the rate of population g�owth is slowing. This is particularly true
for communities such as Fridley where there is an aging population base. Households
are increasing due to demographics and social trends such as later marriages, more
divorces and fewer children in each household.
Ms. Bujold stated employment is forecasted to grow substantially during the 2000's.
Fridley's location within the metro area is very convenient with easy access to the major
freeway network. She noted that Fridley is well placed in the midst of a sizeable labor
force. Several of Fridley's major employers are growing� significantly.
Ms. Bujold stated other demographic characteristics are that older and younger senior
households are increasing in the community. Households under age 35 are decreasing.
Fridley's median household income by age of households is similar to those for the Twin
Cities as a whole. The number of owner-occupied housing units has increased during
the 1990's. There has been very little increase in the number of rental units in Fridley
during the same time period.
Ms. Bujold stated Fridley offers a variety of housing, but the majority is affordable to
first-time homebuyers. Two issues of concern expressed by real estate agents include
lack of move up housing and lack of market rate senior housing. The majority of single
family homes in Fridley sold for between $70,000 and $149,000 in 1998. Housing
values in Fridley have continued to increase by 6.5% annually since 1994 (this rate was
at the top end of communities surrounding Fridley).
Ms. Bujold stated that some of the ongoing housing issues include the limited land
available for new housing, localized areas of housing in poor condition, selected
removal of housing for redevelopment or replacement, lack of a broad mix of housing to
satisfy life-cycle housing needs, households skipping over Fridley to find housing that
meets their needs or households moving out of Fridley to find suitable housing.
Mr. Kuechle asked what Fridley can do to provide move-up housing.
Ms. Bujold stated one example would be the proposed development at 74�' and �
University Avenues. These are homes that provide new features and amenities that are
desirable.
Ms. Modig wondered if the Comprehensive Plan must specifically address what type of
housing is needed in areas and will it require further changes in zoning.
1.07
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 5, 1999 PAGE 8
Ms. Bujold stated the Comprehensive Plan must have enough flexibility to be able to
actively respond to market demands at the time. However, areas should be identified
where changes may need to take place in the future.
Mr. Kuechle stated he feels Fridley is still not addressing the life cycle housing. Most
townhomes cater to a different demographic group. Additionally, most of the
townhomes in Fridley are low-end price-wise.
Mr. Oquist stated Fridley needs to address what happens in neighborhoods in general
and what should be done with run-down properties within neighborhoods. This affects
the entire area and is a problem that should be addressed in the Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Bujold stated that under the criteria established by the Metro Council, Fridley either
meets or exceeds the benchmark percentages for affordable housing in nearly every
category.
Mr. Koegler stated they have identified six categories of trends that affect government
and how they apply locally on comprehensive planning issues. Not all of the areas have
a substantial impact on the Comprehensive Plan; however, he believes social change,
quality of life, and development play a significant role.
Mr. Koegler stated that in looking at government/public participation, they have found an
eroding trust in public officials and government, an increase in complexity in decision
making and issues, a growing NIMBYism with no desire to compromise, and lack of
understanding on how to get involved in government processes. This affects the city
by causing an increased interest in group demands, more contentious public hearings,
and more legislation to protect taxpayers from local government.
Mr. Koegler stated it has been found that the public perceives taxes as being too high.
There is growing demand and expectations for services. The effect this may have on
the city is levy limits, truth in taxation and fiscal disparities. There have been increased
demands for service, staff resources, limited funds to maintain infrastructure and
unfunded mandates. Social changes such as increased social diversity and
multiculturalism and the aging population will increase the city's demand for human
service programs and specialized housing.
Mr. Koegler stated there is a growing demand for sense of place and identity and a
demand for a clean environment. This will cause a growing increase in community
facilities, greater emphasis on clean air and water, traffic meters, neighborhood traffic
issues and a growing interest in public gathering spaces.
Mr. Koegler stated the accelerating pace in technology and telecommunications has an
impact on the way we do business. Information is increasingly available, growth in
home offices and telecommuting. This will create a greater demand for information via
Internet. There may be less need fortraditional large-scale retail, and less need for
more flexible office environments/less demand for office buildings.
1.08
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 5, 1999 PAGE 9
Mr. Koegler stated that the City of Fridley is approaching full development. Regional
efforts are being made to contain sprawl. At the same time, there is a very strong and
diverse regional economy. The effect this may have on the city is that growth will
become more dependent on redevelopment, a greater city role will be required,
additional investment in rebuilding infrastructure will be needed and there will be
potential for more regional incentives and opportunities.
Mr. Koegler stated some of issues which he feels will need to be addressed in the
comprehensive plan include the following:
1) a community entrance at Central Avenue/694 and at University Avenue/694
2) housing quality — maintenance
3) Central Avenue and University Avenue — corridor appearance
4) junkyards within the city
5) the impact of the Medtronic's campus
6) lack of public transportation
7) commuter rail
8) trails and bike paths — improving ways of getting around
9) east/west traffic movement
10)the mix of housing �
11)the role of the Mississippi River
12)the aging infrastructure
13)the Hyde Park neighborhood area
14)the need for community gathering places
15)the concept of connected neighborhoods
Mr. Koegler stated that they have found that people want the urban amenities in a
suburban development. This will need to be looked at more closely to see how it can be
obtained.
Mr. Oquist stated that Fridley is really divided into three sections with University Avenue
and Central Avenue. I-694 is another dividing line. This should be addressed as well.
Mr. Saba stated he feels the bike paths do not provide continuity, allowing them to bike
from their homes to specific areas of interest and relaxation. Additionally, Fridley does
not have any pedestrian bridges or walkways over Highway 65 or University Avenue to
connect areas of the city. This is something else he would like to see addressed in the
Comprehensive Plan.
Ms. Savage stated Fridley does not have a main focal point such as a central area for
plantings, etc.
Mr. Koegler stated the information gathered and discussed will be put together and will
be brought back for consideration.

MEMORANDUM
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: May 20, 1999
TO: William W. Burns. City Manager ���
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Consider Resolution Authorizing Eminent Domain Proceedings
At the May 10, 1999, City Council meeting, Council postponed action on the Resolution
to Authorize Eminent Domain Proceedings based on testimony by the affected property
owner that she was not aware of discussion between Medtronic Inc., and her attorney.
Subsequent to the Council meeting on May 10, 1999, it is staff's understanding that the
affected property owner has verbally agreed to sign a purchase agreement with
Medtronic Inc. By Monday night it is hoped that the agreement will have been signed.
Given this information there is no need for the City Council to pass a Resolution
Authorizing Eminent Domain Proceedings. Staff recommends the City Council remove
this item from the table.
The City Attorney suggests that staff state on the record that it is withdrawing their
request from Council consideration. If there is a pending motion to approve the
condemnation, the Council persons who made and seconded the motion must agree to
withdraw it.

SUBJECT: Resolution Requesting a Vacation of a Portion of Carrie Lane Right-of-Way,
Medtronic Inc., SAV #99-01 _
Background
The City Council postponed action on this item on May 10, 1999 to permit the property owner
affected by the condemnation proceedings to negotiate with Medtronic Inc. Subsequent to the
Council meeting, it is staff's understanding that the affected prope►-ty owner has agreed to sell to
Medtronic, Inc. Based on this information, staff has worked with the petitioner on the plan to
reconstruct Carrie Lane.
Proposed Plan
It is proposed that the preliminary plat will include the Griffith's lot (see other action item on the
Council agenda). The new plat will create 66 feet of right of way for reconstructed Carrie Lane,
and an outlot between Carrie Lane and the parkway for finro rows of vegetation, in conformance
with the neighborhood's previous testimony. Further, Carrie Lane will be constructed so that
there is 20 feet befinreen the north curb line of Carrie Lane and the new north right of way line to
permit the installation of another row of trees to buffer the homes to the north. Staff is in the
process of contacting the two property owners to the north to advise them that these trees and
the new boulevard area will be their responsibility to maintain. Further, a bikeway/walkway
connection will be created to link Carrie Lane and the parkway.
A final landscaping plan and street plan is now being drawn. Staff hopes to have a drawing
available for the Council on Monday evening.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the Council approve the Resolution authorizing the vacation request with the
stipulations below:
1. The petitioner shall reconstruct CaRie Lane as shown in Exhibit B, with the
understanding that the north curb line of Carrie Lane is 20 feet from the north lot
line and the petitioner installs a row of trees along the north lot line.

2. The petitioner shall convey the land to the City necessary for the Carrie Lane
reconstruction and on the plat, dedicate 66 feet of right of way for reconstructed
Ca�rie Lane. (delete " as shown in the preliminary plat submittal.")
3. The petitioner shall submit a final landscape and irrigation plan to be approved by the
City prior to issuance of the first building.
4. The petitioner shall submit a final construction plan to the City Engineering Department

DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: May 20, 1999
TO: Wiliiam W. Burns, City Manager�l� �
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Preliminary Plat Approval for Medtronic Inc.
Mill and Overlav Stipulation
The City Council postponed action on the preliminary plat on May 10, 1999 to resofve the
language associated with Stipulation #15. The stipulation has been reworded as follows (new
language in bold):
15. The petitioner shall submit a letter of credit or performance bond equal to the
construction cost of the public street (Lake Pointe Drive or currently known as
Bridgewater Drive) and public utilities. The letter of credit or a bond will be held for a
period of one year after completion of the improvements. The petitioner proposes to
install the final mat after Phase I development and before construction is
completed on the entire site. If any street deterioration is visible after completion
of the last phase of development on the site, Medtronic Inc. or its successors will
guarantee a mill and overlay or where reasonably appropriate make repairs
sufficient to restore Lake Pointe Drive (now known as Bridgewater Drive) to a"like
new" condition.
At the writing of this memo, the petitioner is reviewing this language.
Amended Preliminarv Plat
In addition, and as a result of the Griffith's agreeing to sell the property, the preliminary plat has
been amended to include the additional single family lot. The plat has been amended to show a
66 foot right of way for Carrie Lane and an outlot for the area in between the Carrie Lane right of
way and the right of way for the new parkway. Therefore, stipulation #13 needs to be amended
to clarify Medtronic's maintenance responsibilities regarding the landscaping. The stipulation is
proposed to read:
13. The petitioner shall be responsible for maintaining the ground cover and landscaping in the
median and the boulevards in the parkways as well as maintaining the landscaped areas
contained in the outlots along the northern border of the project.

Medtronic Plat Request
April 1, 1999
PAGE 1
INTRODUCTION .
Jim Driessen, Medtronic, Inc. has requested preliminary plat approval of the
Fridley Executive Center 2"� Addition Plat. The Fridley HRA has co-signed this
application due to its ownership interests in the property.
The purpose of this plat is to allow Phase I of the Medtronic World Headquarters
development. This plat involves a total of 44.439 acres and encompasses the
entire former Lake Pointe Development site. The general plat boundaries are the
Donnay's Lakeview Manor residential development on the north boundary,
Highway 65 on the east boundary, Highway 694 on the south boundary, and 7"'
Street on the west boundary.
ANALYSIS
Phase I of this development includes a total of 29.577 acres. Broken into its
component parts, 21.843 acres of the area is intended for the Phase I buildings
and grounds of the corporate campus, .851 acres have been identified as Outlot B
(near West Moore Lake Drive), and 6.883 acres of land are to be utilized for a
realigned Bridgewater Drive. The remaining 14.862 acres are identified in the plat
as Out Lot A. The entire build-out of the Medtronic Campus is anticipated to
accommodate as much as 1.6 million square feet of building area. These buildings
will also require parking structures to accommodate the vehicles of employees,
customers, and guests.
Streets
Medtronic has determined that the current roadway configuration will not be
appropriate for their development. As a result, Lake Pointe Drive and Bridgewater
Parkway, as they currently exist, would be removed. The plat shows a 110 foot
right-of-way along the northem edge of the development.
As shown, the right-of-way would contain the parkway, bike path, and the existing
planted buffer. The plat should be revised to create an outlot to contain the
existing vegetation along the north lot line.
The Engineering staff has reviewed the proposed parkway and determined that a
minimum 66 foot right-of-way should be dedicated for the portion of the parkway
west of the west right-of- way line of Quincy Street.
On the east portion of the parkway near the intersection, the right-of-way should
be widened to a minimum of 90 feet.
10.04
Medtronic Piat Request
April 1, 1999
PAGE 2
Lake Pointe Drive is a municipal state aid street. The proposed parkway should
be reconstructed as a municipal state aid street and should extend from i" Street
to Highway 65.
Utilities �
The utilities plan shows utilities outside of the public right-of-ways are private. In
this case, all utilities outside of Bridgewater Parkway and 7"' Street are to be
private, and the maintenance of those utilities is a Medtronic responsibility.
The HRA has an irrigation system that is currently in place throughout the entire
development. That irrigation system has enabled the City to maintain a park-like
site appearance. With the grading, road changes, and new building footprints, the
irrigation system will be disassembled. In order to assure that the undeveloped
portion of the site maintains its appearance, Medtronic must make the necessary
repairs to continued viability of the irrigation system in the undeveloped areas.
Storm Water
Calculations, pond configurations, etc., have been analyzed by the City
Engineering staff. Engineering has asked that storm water pond agreements be
submitted and approved by the City to assure proper storm pond maintenance and
to clarify responsibilities. The east half of the development is in the Rice Creek
Watershed District. The engineering staff has asked for copies of all documents�
calculations, etc. to assure the City file is complete and that they have a clear
understanding of the requirements.
Bikeway/Walkway
Bikeways and walkways play an important rote in connecting neighborhoods,
allowing altemative modes of transportation to and from the workplace and
providing an opportunity for empfoyees to exercise during their breaks. Medtronic
has done a nice job of integrating bikeways and walkways into their plan. It is
important that the existing opportunity for pedestrians to get from 7�' Street to
Highway 65 continues to remain. A bikeway/walkway along the north side of the
Parkway will provide that opportunity.
Park Dedication
Code requires that when land is subdivided, a park dedication fee is paid based on
a rate of .023 per square foot of land. The park dedication fee for this

MEMOI�.ANDUM
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
DATE: May 21, 1999
TO: William W. Burns, City Manager �� �
FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
SUBJECT• Redevelopment Agreement with Medtronic Inc.
I am pleased to present the Redevelopment Agreement with Medtronic Inc., for construction of
its corporate headquarters campus on the Lake Pointe site. To follow is a summary of the major
issues contained in the agreement. The HRA approved its Redevelopment Agreement on May
20, 1999, contingent on City Council approval of its agreement.
Article 1 — Definitions
Key definitions which were discussed at length with Medtronic include the definition of
"Structured Parking° and "Public Improvements°. The definition of structured parking
has been defined to mean ramps or decks of two or more parking levels, either below,
on, or above grade. The definition states that the parking structure constructed as part
of the "initial minimum improvements" (Phase 1) should not have more than three
parking levels above grade. The proposed Phase 1 plan is in conformance with this
definition. (there are two below grade, one on grade, and three above grade).
Subsequent structured parking, however, °may all be on or above grade". The master
plan would guide future phases of development on the site, and if the structured parking
is higher than the Phase 1 ramp an amendment to the master plan must be processed.
Public improvements are defined in Schedule D, and include the water and sanitary
sewer services already available on the site, potential Trunk Highway 65 improvements,
the Rice Creek Access improvements, the right turn at University Avenue and 57�'
Avenue intersection, and the new upgraded sanitary sewer line in 57�' Avenue. Articles 2
and 6 deal with each of these improvements.
The definitions in the city's agreement are the same as the Authority's agreement.
2. Article 2— Representations, Warranties, and Agreements
Section 2.1(b) states that the public improvements sufficient to serve the development
are or will be available to the redevelopment property. Schedule D defines the public
improvements. Water and sanitary services are already available on the site.
11.01
Redevelopment Contract with Medtronic
Page 2
May 21, 1999
The issues regarding Highway 65 are addressed in Section 6.10 and the issues
regarding the Rice Creek Access for the existing campus are addressed in Section 6.11
(see below). The right turn at University Avenue and 57th Avenue and the upgraded
sanitary sewer line are public improvements which will be the city's responsibility. Both
the Authority's and the City agreement states that each will cooperate to make these
improvements available. The city may use tax increment from the project, or use its own
funds.
Section 2.1(i) states that the city acknowledges that the parking structures and the office
building may have a fair market value below actual construction costs. This language
does not hamper the ciry's typical valuation process. The parking ramps are expensive
to construct, and are intended to increase density. The majority of the valuation will
obviously be in the buildings.
Section 2.1(j) acknowledges that Medtronic is demolishing the finro existing streets in the
site. The City agrees to accept conveyance of the parkway as a public street provided
that it meets city standards for public streets and it is properly dedicated in a plat. It also
commits the city to maintaining the new parkway, as well as reconstructed Carrie Lane,
subject to the stipulations of the vacation and the plat approvals.
Section 2.2 describes the representations of Medtronic Inc. This section states that
Medtronic has the financial resources to successfully complete Phase 1 improvements
and any additional improvements identified in the agreement. This section also requires
Medtronic to require its contractors to pay wages in accordance with the prevailing wage
rate.
Section 2.2(h) requires Medtronic to execute the proper Storm Sewer Pond Agreements.
Section 2.2(I) and (m) requires Medtronic to pay the customary city fees associated with
utility connections, building permits, and park fees, and requires Medtronic to construct
structured parking as required in the HRA agreement.
3. Article 3— Master Plan Approval
Section 3.1(a) outlines the review process regarding any amendments to the master
plan. The city is agreeing to properly review any "complete application" for a proposed
amendment to the master plan. The agreement states that the city shall approve or
reject an amendment to the master plan within 60 days after the date of receipt of a
complete application. Further, the city's rejection of an amendment to the master plan
shall not be arbitrary or capricious. Medtronic was adamant that the city make a final
determination on any master plan amendment application within 60 days. This language
would not permit the city to an automatic 60-day extension as now permitted under State
law.
4. Articles 4 and 5 are standard articles regarding termination of the agreement and the
events of default.
11.02
Redevelopment Contract with Medtronic
Page 3
May 21, 1999
5. Article 6— Additional Provisions
Section 6.9 states that the mitigation plan does not require construction of the lane
expansion on Highway 65; however, the city will use its best efforts to obtain funding for
the improvements, and further, the city will use funds from the Authority or other sources
to meet the federal match requirements, if federal funds are obtained. The recent tax
increment extension legislation permits the Authority to use increment from the project to
pay for Trunk Highway 65 improvements. Failure to complete the Trunk Highway 65
improvements, however, will not prevent Medtronic from completing its Master Plan.
Section 6.10 states that the city will use its best efforts to assist Medtronic in securing
the appropriate approvals to implement a right in and right out access on Tn.ink Highway
65 for its existing campus. A number of issues have to be researched, and property
owners in the area will be notified about the variety of options regarding this issue.
Section 6.12 was recently added to the agreement regarding construction work hours.
Medtronic is requesting to warm up vehicles beginning at 6:30 a.m., Monday through
Friday. The cuRent city code states that the construction work hours are between 7:00
a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m., Saturdays and
legal holidays. The proposed section states that construction vehicles may be started at
6:30 a.m.; however, the vehicles must be located at least 500 feet south of the
residential area to the north.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the agreement as presented.

with the "prevailing wage rate" as that term is defined in Ordinance No. 1095 of the City's Code.
(g) The Redeveloper shall not allow any use or occupancy of the Project by a"sexually
orientated business" as defined in Ordinance No. 965 of the City's Code.
(h) The Redeveloper shall provide storm water ponding in accordance with (i) the
storm water drainage plans described in subsection 2.1(k) of the HRA Contract, to accommodate
the Minimum Improvements, (ii) the Master Plan, and; (iii) the HRA Contract. If the
Redeveloper wishes to utilize storm water ponds not included in the Parcel(s) of the
Redevelopment Property conveyed to the Redeveloper, but existing or designed for use on the
Parcel(s) of the Redevelopment Property retained by the Authority, then the Redeveloper agrees
that it will execute the Storm Sewer Pond Agreement with the City. Upon execution of the
Storm Sewer Pond Agreement, the Redeveloper shall be permitted to utilize the Parcel(s) of the
Redevelopment Property retained by the Authority for storm water, and in that regard may
reshape, enlarge, or deepen the existing storm ponds or basins at any time to enhance their
efficiency for water quality and �vater quantity managernent, based on standard engineering and
construction methods. If the Redeveloper does not acquire and develop all of the Redevelopment
Property, then ownership of the storm water pond(s) may be allocated by the Authority to the
owner of the developed lot or lots in closest proximity to the particular storm water pond(s). The
respective owner of such storm water pond(s) shall perform all required maintenance and shall
execute the Storm Sewer Pond Agreement with the City. In such circumstances where shared
storm water benefits are created among the respective owners, warranting the apportionment of
maintenance costs, then such costs shall be apportioned on the basis of the relationship of gross
square feet of each owner's buildings to the total gross square feet of buildings located on lots
which drain storm water to the particular storm water pond(s).
(i) The Redeveloper may locate the Initial Minimum Improvements anywhere in the
Medtronic Campus in accordance with the Master Plan and this Agreement. However, for the
Parcel(s) of the Redevelopment Property retained by the Authority, the Redeveloper must allow
for the construction of 750,000 square feet of Minimum Improvements for Office and Related
Uses, less the square feet of the Initial Minimum Improvements, and shall further provide for any
necessary easements to facilitate development of the retained Parcel(s) of the Redevelopment
Property.

(j) The Redeveloper intends to use the Redevelopment Property primarily for a
combination of Office and Related Uses.
(k) The Redeveloper, at its sole expense, may remove or relocate, at any time, any
existing road improvements, storm water improvements and utilities located on the
Redevelopment Property but shall construct the Bridgewater Drive Improvements as provided
for in Section 4.6 of the HRA Contract. Any removal or relocation shall comply with the City's
engineering standards. Any costs of any kind associated with a removal or relocation, such as
engineering, plannin„ surveying, platting and conveyancing, shall be the expense of the
Redeveloper. Any streets retained by the Redeveloper shall be maintained by the Redeveloper.
Redeveloper shall have the right to name any street platted as a public street in the replat of
Medtronic Campus of any street located within the Redevelopment Project. In the event that
the Redeveloper does not exercise its Option Rights, the street currently known as
Bridgewater Drive shall provide a means for ingress and egress as necessary to access the
Parcel(s) of the Redevelopment Property retained by the Authority in accordance with the
Master Plan.
(1) The Redeveloper shall pay the customary City fees for utility connections, building
permits and park dedication but shall not be obligated to pay any special assessments with
respect to the construction of the Site Improvements or the Public Improvements.
(m) The Redeveloper shall construct the Structured Parking as required by the terms of
the HRA Agreement.

RE: Holiday Special Use Permit Clarification
INTRODUCTION
Staff recommends that the City Council establish a public hearing, related to the
recently approved Holiday Stationstore special use permit, for their June 14, 1999,
agenda. The purpose of this hearing will be for clarification of issues related to
special use permit SP# 99-01, for a motor fuel sales and a car wash
establishment.
ISSUES
On May 10, 1999, the City Council approved a special use permit for the site at the
south-east quadrant of Highway 65 and Hackmann Avenue. Subsequent to the
approval, an error was discovered in the zoning history on a portion of the
property. A 1976 rezoning changed only a portion of the southemmost lot's zoning
designation.
As a result, one of Holiday's 2 lots has a dual designation zoning. The northem
160'(+/-) is zoned C-2, General Commercial, while the southemmost 125' of the
lot was left with a C-1 designation. This finding is significant because the C-2
district allows car wash facilities as a special use permit, the C-1 district does not.
As a result, Holiday has agreed to eliminate its car wash for this site. A revised
site plan showing the site without the car wash has been attached for your
convenience.

RE: Appeals Commission action on VAR #99-05 M-99-127
. :•� �[�1�
The City of Fridley has been asked by Tim Jawor to grant a variance reducing the
required rear yard setback from 40' to 19.2' in order to construct a 7 unit owner
occupied townhome cocnplex at 7411 University Avenue.
APPEALS COMMISSION ACTION
At the April 28th, 1999 Appeals Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for
VAR 99-05. After much discussion over the proposed project and StafPs
recommendation, a motion was made by Mr. Vos and seconded by Ms. Mau to
recommend approval of the variance with stipulations. The motion passed
unanimously.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends denial of this variance request as presented.
As staff has indicated, it is quite possible and reasonable to develop this site without
any variances. With the current proposal, the petitioner would only need to �educe
the building to 6 units to meet all the zoning code requirements. The followi�g is a
summary of reasons why City Staff recommends denial of both the variance r�ques4
and the plat request:
• Staff has found no comparable variances granted.
• Request does not meet statutory definitions of hardship.
• Possible to develop site without variance.

ANALYSIS
Tim Jawor is seeking to reduce the required rear yard setback from 40' to 19.2' in ord�r
to construct a 7 unit owner occupied townhome complex. Section 205.08.03.D.(3).(a)
requires a rear yard setback of not less than 25% of the lot depth, with not less than 25'
permitted and not more than 40' required.
The petitioners lot depth is an average of 201.17' deep. The code required setback of
25% would require this building to meet a rear yard setback of 50.29'. The code also
states that not more than 40' will be required. Therefore, the petitioners required
setback is 40' from the rear property line.
The petitioner is also seeking a replat from the planning commission in order to move
forward with this project. The replat is necessary because the units will be individually
owned.
PROPERTY HISTORY
Because a property has been involved in a lawsuit, does not mean that any future
owners are entitled to any special consideration beyond the settlement of the lawsuit.
The following sections address the zoning classification of this property and the lawsuit
by a previous property owner. I have also included a brief time line of the zoning
history of this property.
Zoning C/assification
Though this property has been incorrectly displayed on the City's zoning maps since
1986, this property currently is and always has been zoned R-2. In order to correct this
error and conform with the settlement of a past law suit, the City is proposing rezoning
this property to an R-3 district. �
Chies Lawsuit
In 1963, multi-family units were a permitted use in the R-2 district when Ed Chies
obtained building permits for an eight unit apartment complex. In 1964, the City
changed the zoning code so that multi-family units were no longer permitted in the R-2
zoning district. Seven years after obtaining the building permits, Mr. Chies was finally
ready to build. His original building permits had long expired and multi-family units were
no longer allowed in the R-2 zoning district. Mr. Chies filed a suit against the City to
make the original building permits valid. In the settlement that followed, Mr. Chies and
the City agreed that he could build up to 8 units provided he met all the zoning
requirements for the multi-family district.
Historica/ Timeline of Zoning History & Action
• 1961 - Melody Manor was platted.
• 1963 - Ed Chies obtains building permit for 8-unit apt., but never builds.
13.03
• 1964 - City changes R-2 zoning, allowing only single family homes & duplexes.
• 1970 - Ed Chies sues City to obtain his original building permit. Settlement reached
allowing R-3 standards to be applied to property.
• 1986 - Zoning maps accidentally show the property as R-3.
• 1988 - City attorney memo stated that property should be rezoned to R-3, however,
this action has never been processed.
• 1994 - Proposal for 7 unit rental condominium project, which met all code
requirements, is withdrawn.
• 1999 - Variance request from Timothy Jawor.
VARIANCE HARDSHIP
Before the Commission shall grant a variance, it is the responsibility of the applicant to
prove that enforcement of the code would cause undue hardshio because of
conditions unique to the property, and to grant these request when it is shown that the
granting of the variance will be in keeping with the intent of the ordinance.
Undue hardship is defined by the law as:
1. The property cannot be put to reasonable use if used under the requirements of the
code.
2. The need for the variance is due to the conditions unique to the property and not
created by actions of the landowner.
3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the character of the neighborhood.
Hardship Statement
See attached statement from petitioner.
Staff Ana/ysis of Hardship Presented
City staff has not been able to identify any hardship, as defined by law, that would allow
staff to recommend anything but denial of this request. In addition to the staff analysis
of the site, the petitioner has not managed to spell out any law defined hardship in his
letter of hardship. In reviewing petitioner's request, staff applied the law defined
definition of hardship and developed the following analysis:
� The property cannot be put to reasonable use if used under the requirements
of the code.
• This parcel is of a size large enough to develop under both the R-2 and R-3 zoning
districts. The size of the parcel would reasonably accommodate 6-units of the size
proposed by the petitioner, without any variances. By removing the 7"' unit, the
complex will meet all zoning code setback requirements.
• An application was received from another developer in 1994, having 7 units located
on the lot while meeting all code requirements. (plans attached to this packet)
• In his letter of hardship, the petitioner refers to the lawsuit settlement befinreen Ed
Chies and the City. The petitioner believed that the City would allow up to 12 units to
be built on this site. This is not true. The settlement specifically limited Ed Chies to
building 8 units on the site, provided that he met all zoning requirements for setbacks,

05. BY TIMOTHY JAWOR:
Per Section 205.09.03.D:(3) of the Fridley City Code, to reduce the required rear
yard setback from 40 feet to 19.2 feet to allow the construction of a seven-unit
townhome structure on Lot 11, Block 1, Melody Manor, generally located at 7411
University Avenue.
MOTION by Mr. Jones, seconded by Ms. Mau, to waive the reading of the public
hearing notice and to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:45 P.M.
Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner is requesting a variance to decrease the required rear
yard setback from 40 feet to 19.2 feet to allow the construction of a seven-unit owner-
occupied townhome structure. Also, this property is coming under consideration for a
replat request before the Planning Commission. Also, the property will have to be
rezoned to R-3 so that these owner occupied units can occur.
Mr. Bolin stated the code requires a minimum rear yard setback of 40 feet for a lot of
this size. The property is located at 7411 University Avenue. The property is currently
vacant and is zoned R-2 even though, since 1986, the City zoning maps have shown
that parcel and the parcel to the north as being zoned R-3. The property is bordered by
12-unit apartment buildings both to the north and to the south. To the west is University
Avenue and to the east is Grace Lutheran Church.
Mr. Bolin stated the property has an interesting history. The property was platted in
1961 and was zoned R-2 at that time. In 1963, Mr. Ed Chies obtained building permits
for an eight-unit apartment building on that lot, but it was never built. In 1964, the City
changed the zoning so that only duplexes were allowed in the R-2 zoning district. The
eight units that were proposed were no longer allowed in that district. In 1970, Mr.
Chies sued the City trying to obtain the original building permit. A settlement basically
allowed the R-3 standards to be applied to the property, and Mr. Chies would be
allowed to build the eight-unit building. In 1986, the zoning maps were accidentally
13.09
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES, APRIL 28, 1999 PAGE 5
drawn to show the property as R-3. Presumably this was done to cover the settiement.
In 1988, there was a memo in the address file from the City Attorney stating that the
property should be rezoned to R-3; however, this action has never been processed. So,
as part of this request, the City is initiating a rezoning on that parcel to R-3. In 1994, the
City received a proposal for a seven-unit rental condominium project on this site. All
seven of these units fit on the site and would not have needed a variance. That project
was eventually withdrawn. Most recently, the City has had a variance and replat
request from the petitioner.
Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner indicates in the hardship statement that a more
rectangular lot of similar square footage would have been desirable for a townhouse
p�oject like this. However, the petitioner feels they have adapted and designed an
attractive building that will nicely fit this apartment-type lot, and at the same time will
meet the needs and desires of both the City and the housing market.
Mr. Bolin showed photos of the property as it exists today. The site plan shows the
seven units. The variance is at the rear lot line. The lower level for the units would
have two-car garages. The owners could enter their units through the garage. In the
basement, there is room for a bedroom, storage, laundry and a bathroom. On the upper
floors, there is room for two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen, dining area and living room.
Mr. Bolin reviewed the elevations for the site.
Mr. Bolin stated the law defines an undue hardship as
1) The property cannot be put to reasonable use if used under the requirements of the
code.
2) The need for the variance is due to the conditions unique to the property and not
created by actions of the landowner.
3) The variance, if granted, will not alter the character of the neighborhood.
Mr. Bolin stated that after reviewing the project, staff recommends denial of the variance
request. Looking through variances granted in the R-3 districts for the past 15 years,
staff found no comparable variances that were granted. The request does not meet the
statutory definition of a hardship, and it is possible to develop the site within the code. If
the building were built with the size of the units as shown and if the seventh unit were
removed, it would be possible to build it without a variance. If the unit size were
reduced, the setbacks could be met. It is also possible to do some different layouts for
this site. The proposal from 1994 is an example of that. If the Appeals Commission
chooses to approve the variance request, staff recommends the following stipulations:
1. Fence be extended along the entire east side of the property.
2. All elements of the building must meet the current building code and be approved
by the City Building OfficiaL
3. Concrete curbing be placed around parking lot and parking islands.
4. All parking spaces must be setback 20 feet from the front yard property line.
5. Proposed screening berm on west side of property must meet zoning code
requirements for height.
����
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES, APRIL 28, 1999 PAGE 6
6. Proper elevations, showing ali seven units, must be provided to the City, to
ensure that the elevations are architecturally symmetrical.
7. City will approve ail exterior materials.
8. The use of brick, amount to be approved by City staff, shall be required to ensure
that the building has similar character to nearby buildings.
9. Final landscape plan will meet code requirements and must be approved by City
staff.
10. Proposed walkway to be concrete.
11. Variance is conditional upon City approval of the replat and rezoning request.
Mr. Kuechle asked what the differences were between R-2 and R-3 zoning districts.
Mr. Bolin stated the R-2 zoning is designed for single family homes and duplexes. R-3
zoning is for multi-family homes and is the only zoning district other than S-2 that allows
owner occupied condominium-style units.
Ms. Mau stated that on the east side of the property, it looks like there is a drainage
area. Is that located on the subject parcel or is that part of the church property? If this
is on the subject parcel, how have they addressed that drainage in their plan?
Mr. Bolin stated that on the east side of this property and on the church property as well,
water does tend to collect and drain through there. The petitioner's storm calculations
do address what comes onto the petitioner's property as well and it brings that around
to a storm ponding area. This development would not necessarily contcibute to water
ponding in that area nor would it necessarily alleviate it. It should not have much of an
impact in that area.
Mr. Jawor stated that when he first approached the City, he thought the site was zoned
R-3. He did not think the staff knew this was not R-3 until they did some research. That
is why they proceeded as though this was zoned R-3.
Mr. Jawor stated that when they looked at the property, they tried to fit in what they
thought the market wanted. Fridley has a lot of apartment buildings and rental
properties. The owner talked about putting in rental units as well. They convinced him
that they could do-better putting in owner-occupied townhouses. They did a market
survey to find out what the market wanted. They found that the market wants
moderately priced housing, singfe family, owner-occupied� two bedrooms with an
expansion area for a third bedroom or family room, two bathrooms, and a two-car
garage. He came in to the City and spoke with Mr. Hickok. Mr. Hickok discussed the
history of the property and provided the seven-unit building that had been approved
several years ago. They took that site plan and tried to figure out why that plan did not
work. They concluded that the site plan was not rentable or saleable. The units were
18 feet wide with a one-car garage. The finro bedrooms upstairs had actually usable
space of 8.5 feet. This will fit but you will not be able to do anything with it.
Mr. Jawor stated they took that plan and tried to adapt it to what they thought the market
was showing. They expanded each unit by three feet resulting in a finro-car garage.
One advantage of a two-car garage is that you will not have cars parked outside. They
13.11
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES, APRIL 28, 1999 PAGE 7
won't need a dumpster. Each unit will have a garbage can with a one-day pick-up each
week.
Mr. Jawor stated they have built townhouses before. The ideal plan is 24 feet wide. An
18-foot wide unit will not wo�k. They expanded it to 21 feet. In order to do that, they
had to reconfigure the building. With a two-car garage, you cannot get a full entrance in
as well. It is too narrow. They put the entrance on the back side of the building. By
taking this building and putting the seven units in a row, they cut the length but made
the building narrower. They are actually saving 18 feet of land by the length of the
building on one side and 3 feet of land by the length of the building on the other side.
That is a total of 3,000 square feet within the variances that could be built on exclusive
of the garages. By giving up that 3,000 square feet, they need to encroach on the rear
setback by 900 square feet. To build a tovdnhouse unit there, they have a net gain of
over 2,000 square feet of space. Part of the space will be driveway and access to the
garages, but they put planting islands between those with full size trees to dress that up.
By putting the sidewalk and entrance on the other side of the building, they basically
have two fronts to the building that will be landscaped. There will be plantings and
shrubbery, a nice looking sidewalk and screening between there and the apartment
buildings. This will have nice looking elevations on both sides, more open space, and
he thought this would be an asset to the neighborhood as a whole.
Mr. Jawor stated the lot has been unbuilt. The lot has been used for dumping fill for
years. They did some preliminary borings and found they will have to take out some of
the fill, and replace it will buildable soils and do soil corrections. By granting the
variance, that is about 1/3 of the soil corrections that they will have to do. This also
means less trucks hauling, less traffic, etc.
Mr. Jawor stated the drainage problem has been addressed. There is a low spot in the
back that is actually part of the holding pond that was designed for the church. Their
engineers have worked out a plan that has been submitted to the City for their review to
take care of that drainage problem. Right now it flows in from everyone's lot. This will
channel the water around the front to a small holding pond, it will drain into a beehive,
and then drain into the storm sewer. The drainage problem will be corrected by doing
this.
Mr. Jawor stated that regarding the hardship, they are coming at this from a different
angle than the staff. One definition stated that the variance, if granted, will not alter the
character of the neighborhood. He thought they would improve the character of the
neighborhood. This has parking lots on three sides of the back half of the lot. It is all
open parking. The apartments do not have a playground or covered parking. To the
east is the church parking lot. Another hardship is the configuration of the lot. These
lots, when platted 35 years ago, were designed for the apartment style buildings that
were built on either side. Those buildings are two stories, they are shorter and wider
and fit on those lots with no inside parking. To do townhomes, you have to have
driveway space to get to the garages and you have to do that in a row. The
configuration of the lot� therefore, is not conducive. A more rectangular lot would h���,
been desirable. This building is longer and narrower than many apartments.
13.12
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES, APRIL 28, 1999 PAGE 8
Mr. Miiler stated he would like to address the definition that the property cannot be put
to reasonabie use. When the seven-unit building was approved and which met the
setbacks, that was a building that had 18-foot wide units, one-car garages, and did not
meet the demands of the market. Their proposal with seven units, 21-feet wide, two-car
garages, and actually allows for 2.7 cars per unit with the off-street parking. This
becomes a much nicer project.
Ms. Beaulieu asked, if the City says no, will the petitioner eliminate one unit or would
the project then not be economically feasible?
Mr. Jawor stated the project would then not be feasible. They perhaps could
reconfigure it to shorten it, look at having a one-way drive down each side, but they
would not gain much by doing that. They could look at one-car garages, but he did not
think that addresses what the market wants. They are really in kind of a bind. Because
they are landscaping both sides, putting in a sidewalk all the way around, putting in
berms, taking care of the drainage for the neighborhood, they need to spread these
costs out to keep the units affordable. When you go from seven units down to six, that
is a 15°/a reduction in the number units. Those costs have to be spread out over six
units that will end up with a$3,000 increase in the price. They are trying to keep the
price as moderate as they can and make the units salable. He thinks that this is a nice
project. If the variance is not granted, he was not sure what they will do. If the variance
is granted, there are a lot of stipulations. They have no prcblem with those except that
they would like to have °exterior materials" defined. The apartment buildings are 30
years old constructed of brick. You do not see many single-family homes of brick. He
would like that further defined.
Mr. Kirkham stated he represents the council for the Grace Lutheran Church. They
share a property line on the east side of the subject parcel. They are prepared to say
that they have no objections to the variance, but they do have some concerns that they
would like to have addressed. One concern is drainage and it seems that this has
been adequately addressed. They do not want a pool of water sitting there either. The
second concern is that there seems to be no room for youngsters to play with this
design. They do not want to further compound a problem that they already have and
that is trespassing. They are surrounded by apartment buildings. Many people seem to
think that there is not enough room at the apa�tments for their children to play so they
send them over to the church property to play. They have a school there that operates
during week and there is sometimes a problem. There is also a built-in liability problem.
There seems to be the idea that others can send their children over there to play without
assuming any liability risks.
Mr. Kirkham stated there also seems to be a lack of respect for the church property.
They have confronted some people who have sent their children over to play and the
attitude seems to be that they cannot help it because they don't have an area for their
children to play. This is not a valid response to their concern, but that attitude does
exist. In looking at the proposed design, they see no room for kids to play and they feel
their problems would be compounded. They are also concerned about garbage
collection, but this has been addressed.
13.13
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES, APRIL 28, 1999 PAGE 9
Mr. Kirkham stated they are concemed about a fence. They would like it to be a priva�y
fence. He understands that the City is proposing that there be a six-foot fence that will
be the length of the east property line. He did not know that they could gamer a
guarantee that the fence would be maintained by present or future owners in perpetuity.
Mr. Kirkham stated they are wondering about parking lot restrictions. Would there be
parking in the garages only or would there be an overflow of parking that may affect
them. Will they be seeing a number of cars and/or boats in the parking lot? The .
parking area does not seem that big.
Mr. Kirkham stated these are the concerns that the church has. The biggest concern is
p�obably the trespassing issue and also pets. A number of people choose to walk their
dogs on their property and don't bother to pick up after them. They have school
children playing there, and they do not want their students to step in someone else's pet
droppings.
Dr. Vos asked Mr. Kirkham how far it is from the west property line to the first building.
There is a large grassy area there.
Mr. Kirkham stated part of that distance is occupied by a paved parking lot. If it is
between the property line and the parking lot, perhaps there is 75 feet.
Dr. Vos stated he �sked that question in case the church has any future expansion
plans. lf the variance request is approved, they are within 19 feet of that property line.
Would that restrict this property owner from expanding west? There must be a certain
separation.
Mr. Bolin stated it should not be a problem as long as the church meets its required
setbacks. He believed the church could come within 15 feet of that property line.
Mr. Kirkham stated he did not know of any plans to expand.
Ms. Mau stated she would think the fence along the east property line does not exist
with the apartments. It is possible that it would help with the trespassing issues, but it �
does not guarantee that it will not happen.
Dr. Vos stated there might be the potential that the church and the property owners
would decide to put a fence all the way across to alleviate some of the church's
concerns. When you have a fence between finro open areas, it is kind of odd
Ms. Mau stated another concem is restrictions for parking cars in the lot and boafs.
They are proposing two-car garages that would eliminate some of the problem. She
believed the issue of boats would be treated the same as any other resident under th�
code. Drainage and garbage have been addressed. Pets and kids both require
responsible adults living in the units to assure that this does not happen.
Mr. Jones stated he could see the issues of pets and kids. The problem may not
necessarily be attributed to the people from those properties. He thought there would

be a problem whether anything is there or not. The issue of drainage has been stated
as being resolved, but it is not cfear to him just how this has been resolved. In all
fairness to them, it seems that everyone has been benefiting from that property being
vacant by using that as their drainage.
Mr. Jones asked if there are parks in that area or places for kids to go.
Dr. Vos stated there is a park on 73`d but that is about one mile away.
Mr. Miller stated each unit would be required to pay a park dedication fee. This will be
money to improve or build parks near that site.
Mr. Kuechle stated there is space inside for two cars. Where will guests park?
Mr. Jawor stated guests could park by the garage. Thefe are spaces on each end in
order to walk to the front entrance. For parking, there is a two-car garage, space for two
cars in front of the garage, and five extra spaces.
Ms. Mau asked if parking was allowed on the street.
Mr. Bolin stated parking is not allowed on the west side. He believed they can park on
the east side of the street.
Mr. Jawor stated he would like to address a couple issues from the church. They are
proposing a cedar privacy fence, six feet tall, which runs across the back of the
property. The fence is not a concern. Maintenance of the fence will be part of the
townhome association bylaws. Also addressed will be the landscaping, sprinkling
systems, and maintenance. As far as pets, he usually has no reference to pets in the
bylaws because the townhome association can change this as long as they are within
the City's ordinances. If the staff or City Council want to add a stipulation that the
bylaws address pets, they will be happy to do that.
Mr. Jawor stated they have an 18-foot deep area behind each townhome with a 5-foot x
8-foot deck. That is probably the area where the smaller kids are going to be. As they
get older, they will. of course venture farther away. If they are going to pay a park
dedication fee, if that could be designated to create a pathway or cover signs� that might
help with that problem.
Mr. Kirkham stated it occurred to him whether it makes sense to squeeze seven units
into a piece of property to the point where there is no place for kids to play and then
appeal to families with children to move there. There are lots of places that are adult
only. He did not know if that would be feasible here or not, but perhaps this is
something they should look at. That would solve the problems as far as space. He did
not know if townhome situations allowed for parking in the garage only. That may
alleviate some of the parking issues.
Mr. Jawor stated they can put that in the bylaws, but the association can change it.
13.15
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES, APRIL 28, 1999 PAGE i l
Mr. Schreiner stated it is obvious that the lot is too smail for what they are pianning. He
understands this involves a change from R-2 to R-3. He would recommend the zoning
remain R-2. He is concemed about traffic. Which way will the cars be leaving the area
and where they will be going? On Symphony Street, they have a problem with traffic.
The area has only a few exits. What are the square footage of the units?. If they are
too small, people tend to store their belongings in the garage and park outside anyway.
Mr. Jawor stated each unit is just over 1,400 square feet finished with a designated
storage area inside, a two-car garage, large utility room and laundry room. On the
lower level there is also room for an option bedroom or family room. Regarding the
traffic concem, it is a question of density. Regardless of what is put on the lot, there will
be traffic. Traffic comes out on the service road. The site has one driveway.
Dr. Vos stated the exits for the apartment buildings are not necessarily on that service
road. This traffic will come out straight west.
Dr. Vos stated the petitioner has indicated that these units would be moderately priced.
What will the price range be?
Mr. Jawor stated the price will be approximately $110,000 to $120,000.
Mr. Hansen stated he is the owner of the apartment building to the north of the site. It is
inevitable that sometl�ing will be done with this property. He has waited for 20 years.
This is as good a plan as he has seen. He thought they could work out the thing with
the kids. He has the same problem. The church has a large parking lot. There are
many kids in the area and so it is more than just the kids from the apartments. The
fence will not keep kids out. The question is who is going to take care of it. If in two or
three years it gets neglected, it is worse than not doing anything. The church does a
good job of maintaining the area to the east. He can understand that the church does
not want the liability of children on their property. It is a tempting open space.
Dr. Vos asked why they required a privacy fence rather than a natural barrier such as
thorny bushes. He has seen other ways to divide property lines so that it is not just a
fence that gets broken after a while.
Mr. Bolin stated that is an option. There is only six feet of space. It must also be a
continuos hedge.
Mr. Kirkham stated the church is considering putting a fence along the property. Right
now they have lilac bushes there. For privacy they work pretty well but they do not keep
the garbage out. This past spring while cleaning, they pulled out a couch, an
automobile seat, and a range. That is why they feel the need for a privacy fence.
Dr. Vos stated that they talk about drainage, but that is not one of the stipulations.
Mr. Bolin stated the Engineering Department has approved the storm ponding
calculations and the drainage plan. One requirement is that, when doing storrn ��,���
calculations for drainage ponds, you have to take into account the surroundin�
13.16
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES, APRIL 28, 1999 PAGE 12
properties as well. With that in mind, the Engineering staff has approved the drainage
calculations and the drainage plans that were submitted.
Dr. Vos stated he would feel better if a stipulation was included that this meets the plans
approved by the Engineering Department.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Mr. Jones, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED
THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:42 P.M.
Dr. Vos stated he looked at the property. He has seen it for 29 years and always
wondered what they were going to do about that. He thought they could do it with six
units, but he did not think it would be something that would help the City size-wise as
well as the design. He was impressed that the property owner to the east came and
discussed the concerns and the property owner to the north came and expressed
support. With the major property owners in favor, he could vote for approval with the
stipulations.
Ms. Beaulieu agreed. If there is extra expense involved with this property because it
has been vacant and used for dumping so there are extra soil problems that have to be
dealt with and the drainage problems that seem to be from the surrounding properties,
she believed it is a good solution to have to deal with that extra exper�se with the extra
unit. She changed her mind when she heard all the different situations. She would vote
in favor of the request.
Ms. Mau stated she would vote hesitantly in favor of the request. She did have issues
with the fact that it is a very small lot for this size of project. She likes that it is
affordable housing for the Fridley area. She can understand the hardship they have
working with that property. She would tend to vote for approval with the stipulations.
Mr. Jones stated he would tend to vote in favor of the request with stipulations. He
does not see the difference between six and seven units. He can understand the
concerns about the kids and traffic, but the difference between six or seven units is not
going to make that much difference. With all of the property issues and the added
expense, he can see the hardship that they would need the extra unit to reach a
reasonable level of profit for the property. The City needs affordable owner-occupied
housing. We don't have that much in the City and this is a good opportunity. He would
vote in favor with the stipulations.
Mr. Kuechle concurred. He thought they needed the economies of scale. A seven-unit
townhome group is probably sub-optimum in terms of trying to hire in services. Cutting
it down to six becomes a larger problem. At some point something is going to go on
that lot. This is a pretty good fit for what is there. He would be in favor of
recommending approval to the City Council. He had issue with one stipulation that
states the use. He would feel comfortable with changing that a little bit, but he would
also be comfortable with leaving it in. Between now and the City Council meeting, the
petitioner could work with City staff to try to get that ironed out as to exactly what they
13.17
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES, APRIL 28, 1999 PAGE 13
are both comfortable with. He believed that the petitioner is willing to work with staff
and understands the concem that they are not boxed in with an entirely brick buiiding.
He would recommend approval.
Dr. Vos asked how staff sees stipulation 7 and stipulation 8 as different.
Mr. Bolin stated staff sees the brick as being different. They are not talking about
making the entire building brick. As they have discussed with the petitioner, they are
talking about perhaps a four-foot wainscoting on pa�t of the building. The other
stipulation refers to other materials that are used other than brick.
Dr. Vos asked if they needed stipulation 6.
Mr. Bolin stated when the packet was put together, staff did not have any elevations.
The elevations have now been submitted.
Mr. Kuechle stated that if the petitioner is comfortable with it, he has no objection to
leaving it in.
Ms. Mau stated she thought the fence should be addressed. She is not comfortable
with putting a fence on one property when the other two don't have a fence. She can
understand a barrier of some kind, but she is not comfortable stipulating it as a fence
per se. The continuity is not ther�.
Ms. Beaulieu stated this property is the one that is requesting the variance.
MOTION by Dr. Vos, seconded by Ms. Mau, to recommend approval of Variance
Request, VAR #99-05, by Timothy Jawor, to reduce the required rear yard setback from
40 feet to 19.2 feet to allow the construction of a seven-unit townhome structure on Lot
11, Block 1, Melody Manor, generally located at 7411 University Avenue, with the
following stipulations:
1. Fence be extended along the entire east side of the property.
2. All elements of the building must meet the current building code and be approved
by the City Building OfficiaL
3. Concrete curbing be placed around parking lot and parking islands.
4. All parking spaces must be setback 20 feet from the front yard property line.
5. Proposed screening berm on west side of property must meet zoning code
requirements for height.
6. Proper elevations, showing all seven units, must be provided to the City, to
ensure that the elevations are architecturally symmetrical.
7. City will approve all exterior materials.
8. The use of brick, amount to be approved by City staff, shal� be required to ensure
that the building has similar character to nearby buildings.

MEMORANDUM
PLANNING DIVISION
Date: 5/17/99
To: Wiiliam Bums, City Manager ���
From:Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator
Paul Bolin, Planning Assistant
RE: Planning Commission action on P.S. #99-02 M-99-128
INTRODUCTION
The City of Fridley has been asked by Tim Jawor to create 8 separate lots from Lot
11, Block 1, Melody Manor, (7411 University Ave.) in order to construct a 7 unit
owner occupied townhome complex. The replat is necessary because the units will
be individually owned. The proposal includes 1 lot for each unit and 1 additional lot
made up of the excess property.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
At the May 5, 1999 Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for
P.S. 99-02. After much discussion over the proposed project and StafPs
recommendation, a motion was made by Mr. Saba and seconded by Mr. Oquist to
recommend approval of the replat with stipulations. The motion passed
unanimously.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATIOH
City Staff recommends denial of this plat request as presented.
As staff has indicated, it is quite possible and reasonable to develop this site without
any variances. With the current proposal, the petitioner would only need to reduce
the building to 6 units to meet all the zoning code requirements. A plat request
showing 6 units of the proposed size, for a total of 7 parcels would meet all code
requirements. The following is a summary of reasons why City Staff recommends
denial of both the variance request and the plat request:
14.01
Memorandum
• This parcel is of a size large enough to develop under both the R-2 and R-3
zoning districts. The size of the parcel would reasQnably accommodate 6-units of
the size proposed by the petitioner, without any variances. By removing the 7�' unit,
the complex would meet all zoning code setback requirements.
• An application was received from another developer in 1994, having 7 units
located on the lot while meeting all code requirements. (plans attached to this
packet)
• The "need" for a variance is created by actions of the landowner. The petitioner
desires to develop the 7"' unit to make the project more economically feasible,
though staff has pointed out that he could proceed on the project by building only 6
units. Building only 6 units would give the petitioner the code required rear yard
setback of 40'.
• The code requires the rear yard setback to provide space to be used for green
areas and buffers between structures which enhance neighborhoods. The plat and
variance, if granted, would reduce this required space from 40' to 19.2'.
• The proposed setback limits access for emergencies and may contribute to the
condition of crowding in the neighbofiood.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST
Tim Jawor is seeking to create 8 separate lots

• Staff recommended denial of the rear yard
setback variance because no comparable
variances had been granted, the request did
not meet statutory definitions of hazdship,
and it is possible to develop site without
vanance.
• Proposed layout does not provide enough
green / open space.
Staff Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin

ANALYSIS
Tim Jawor, petitioner,
� � � _�-
is seeking to create 8 separate lots from Lot 11, Block 1, Melody
Manor, in order to construct a 7 unit owner occupied townhome complex. The replat is
necessary because the units will be individually owned. The proposal includes 1 lot for
each unit and 1 additional lot made up of the excess property.
Mr. Jawor, also needs a variance to reduce the required rear yard setback from 40' to
19.2' in order to construct the proposed 7 unit owner occupied townhome complex. At
their April 28'h meeting, the Appeals Commission voted to recommend approval of the
variance with 12 conditions. One of the conditions stated that the approval of the
variance is conditional upon receiving approval for the plat and a rezoning of the
property.
PROPERTY HISTORY
The following sections address the zoning classification of this property and the lawsuit
by a previous property owner. I have also included a brief time line of the zoning
history of this property.
Zoning Classi�cation
Though this property has been incorrectly displayed on the City's zoning maps since
1986, this property currently is and always has been zoned R-2. In order to correct this
error, conform with the settlement of a past law suit, and allow multi-family
development, the City submitted a rezoning application for this property to become a
R-3 district.
Chies Lawsuit
In 1963, multi-family units were a permitted use in the R-2 district when Ed Chies
obtained building permits for an eight unit apartment complex. In 1964, the City
changed the zoning code so that multi-family units were no longer permitted in the R-2
zoning district. Seven years after obtaining the building permits, Mr. Chies was finally
ready to build. His original building permits had long expired and multi-family units were
no longer allowed in the R-2 zoning district. Mr. Chies filed a suit against the City to
make the original building permits valid. In the settlement that followed, Mr. Chies and
the City agreed that he could build up to 8 units provided he met all the zoning
requirements for the multi-family district.
Historical Timeline of Zoning History 8 Action
• 1961 - Melody Manor was platted.
• 1963 - Ed Chies obtains building permit for 8-unit apt., but never builds.
• 1964 - City changes R-2 zoning, allowing only single family homes & duplexes.
• 1970 - Ed Chies sues City to obtain his original building permit. Settlement reach�d
allowing R-3 standards to be applied to property.
14.04
• 1986 - Zoning maps accidentally show the property as R-3.
• 1988 - City attorney memo stated that property should be rezoned to R-3, however,
this action has never been processed.
• 1994 - Proposal for 7 unit rental condominium project, which met all code
requirements, is withdrawn.
• 1999 - Variance & Plat request from Timothy Jawor.
The fact that a property has been involved in a lawsuit, does not mean that any future
owners are entitled to any special consideration beyond the settlement of the lawsuit.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends denial of ihis p/at request as presented.
As staff has indicated, it is quite possible and reasonable to develop this site without
any variances. With the current proposal, the petitioner would only need to reduce the
building to 6 units to meet all the zoning code requirements. A plat request showing 6
units of the proposed size, for a total of 7 parcels would meet all code requirements.
The following is a summary of reasons why City Staff recommended denial of the
variance request and now recommends denial of the Plat request:
• This parcel is of a size large enough to develop under both the R-2 and R-3 zoning
districts. The size of the parcel would reasonably accommodate 6-units of the size
proposed by the petitioner, without any variances. By removing the 7�' unit, the
complex would meet all zoning code setback requirements.
• An application was received from another developer in 1994, having 7 units located
on the lot while meeting all code requirements. (plans attached to this packet)
• The "need" for a variance is created by actions of the landowner. The petitioner
desires to develop the 7�' unit to make the project more economically feasible, though
staff has pointed out that he could proceed on the project by building only 6 units.
Building only 6 units would give the petitioner the code required rear yard setback of
40'.
• The code requires the rear yard setback to provide space to be used for green
areas and buffers between structures which enhance neighborhoods. The plat and
variance, if granted, would reduce this required space from 40' to 19.2'.
• The proposed setback limits access for emergencies and may contribu#e to the
condition of crowding in the neighborhood.
STIPULATIONS
If the Planning Commission were to grant this Plat request, staff recommends that the
following stipulations be attached.
1. Fence be extended along the entire East side of the property.
2. All elements of fhe building must meet the current building code and be approved b�r
the City Building O�cial.
3. Concrete curbing placed around parking lot and parking islands.

4. All parking spaces must be setback 20' from the fronf yard property line.
5. Proposed screening berm on West side of property must meet zoning code

the elevations are architecturally symmetrical.
7. City will approve all exterior materials.
8. The use of brick, amount to be approved by City Staff, shaJl be required to ensure
fhat the building have similar character to nearby buildings.
9. Final landscape plan will meet code requirements and must be approved by Cify
Staff.
10. Proposed walkway to be concrefe.
11. Plat approval is conditional upon City Council approval of the variance & rezoning
requests.
12. A 12' utility and drainage easement to be granted along entire eastem edge of
properfy.

Planning Commission and City Council
City of Fridley
Apri15, 1999
Dear Commissioners and Council Members,
As you know, this lot has a history of zoning problems. It was originally configured and platted to
contain a multi-unit apartment building such as the 11 and 12 unit buildings which were built on either side
of this lot. A change in zoning several years ago resulted in a lawsuit between the owner at that time and
the City. The settlement, as I understand it, was that the City would allow up to 12 units to be built on this
tot. After I purchased this lot I spoke with Scott Hickok of the Fridley ptanning department to discuss
options for the development of this lot. Mr. Hickok talked about the past probiems with this lot and
indicated that the development of this lot was perhaps somewhat outside of normal development channels
because of the unsettled questions ranging back to the re-zoning and lawsuit. He also indicated that the City
had a real need for moderate priced, single family, owner occupied townhouse units. He gave me a copy of
a site plan that had been submitted and, I believe, approved by the City a few years ago. The site plan he
gave me had 7 townhouse units, the same number as our proposal, but each unit was only 18' wide. Our
usual unit is 24' wide and includes a 2-car garage for each unit. Mr. Hickok liked the idea of a 2-car garage
for each unit, especially since the neighboring apartment buildings have no garage space and all parking is
outdoors. He felt these 2-caz garages wouid make for a neater, more attractive development.
We went to work and tried to combine the best elements of the 18' plan with our 24' plan. We
tried to produce a 2-3 bedroom, 2 bath, attractive and mazketable townhouse unit that included a 2-car
garage. We finally came up with the plan we are now proposing. Because these units are to be marketed as
single-family townhouse and not as apartments or apartment-type condominiums, the units cannot be
stacked on top of each other. Also, because the lot was originally configured to have back-to-back and
stacked unit apartment buildings with outdoor pazking and no garages, we had to use a great deal of lot
square footage to design a driveway which would feed each garage and provide outdoor guest pazking (2.�
outdoor spaces/unit). While we are considerably below the density allowed for this lot and actually
contained on the two neighboring lots, our resulting townhouse footprint does encroach on the rear setback
(the side toward the church).
The city ordinance requires 25%of the lot depth for the rear setback with a 25' minimum and 40'
maximum. Our proposal is for a?�r�ear setback. Since there is an apartment building pazking lot on either
side of the rear setback area and a lazge church parking lot behind this area, we feel the neighborhood
impact will be minimal. I believe there are also a number of precedents for allowing a variance for rear
setbacks in cases similar to this. We have designed our building with basically two front sides, complete
with landscaping, in order to adapt to the more square shape of this lot, and to present a pleasant view to the
apartment residents on either side as well as the street traffic. The side setbacks (18' and 48') are also much
greater than the required 15' because, again, these aze not back-to-back apartment-type �nits. These greater
side setbacks make for very attractive landscaped elevations.
A more rectangular lot of similaz square footage would have been desirable for a townhouse
project like this. However, I feel that we have adapted and designed an attractive building that will nicely
fit this apartment-type lot, and at the same time will meet the needs and desires of both the City and the
housing market.
Thank you for the consideration of this pro . �

Mr. Tim Jawor
9175 107t'' St. N
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mr. Jawor:
Per Minnesota Statute 15.99, local government units are required to notify land use
applicants within 10 days if their land use applications are complete. We received
applications for a variance and subdivision request on April 2, 1999. This letter serves
to inform you that your application is not complete and cannot proceed as submitted.
In your variance application you request a variance to reduce the rear yard setback
requirements from 25' to 20'. Upon review by planning staff, the actual variance you are
requesting is to reduce th� rear yard setback from 40' to 19' (as noted on your plan).
Staff noted other changes that need to be made to consider your application complete.
These items include the following:
• Code requires a rear yard setback of 25% of lot depth, to a maximum of 40'. Your
lot depth is 200', which would require a 50' setback. However, code requires only a
maximum of 40'. THE VARIANCE YOU ARE SEEKING IS TO REDUCE THE
REAR YARD SETBACK FROM 40' TO 19'.
• Code allows uncovered decks to encroach 3' into the required side yard setback.
The proposed decks shown in your plan encroach 5' into the required side yard
setback. This also requires a variance. THE VARIANCE YOU ARE SEEKING IS
TO INCREASE THE ALLOWABLE ENCROACHEMENT INTO A SIDE YARD
SETBACK FROM 3' TO 5' TO CONSTRUCT AN OPEN DECK.
• Code requires that drive aisles be 25' in width, measured from inside of curb to
inside of curb. The drive aisle as shown on your plans is only 23' in places. This
needs to be re-drawn or will require a variance. THE VARIANCE YOU ARE
SEEKING IS TO DECREASE THE REQUIRED DRIVE AISLE WIDTH FOR TWO-
WAY TRAFFIC FROM 25' TO 23'.
• Code requires that a total of 40 square feet of storage be provided per unit. Of this
total, 20 square feet must be provided in the dwelling unit itself. These areas mu��
be ctesignated on the plans.
• A landscape plan shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a building permit. The
planting schedule shown on your plans do not meet the code requirements for
14.12
landscaping. A full landscape plan, which meets all the code requirements must be
received and approved by City staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. A
copy of the landscaping requirements is enclosed with this letter.
Code also requires that when R-3 properties abut areas zoned for single family
homes, a landscaped buffer shall be constructed. A portion of your lot abuts an R-1
zoning district to the east of your property. You will need to meet Section
205.09.06.G.(1), by constructing a fence or planting screen. This will need to be
noted on your current plans and addressed in your landscape plan.
Your narrative letter and statement of hardship causes some concems for staff. The
letter spends a great deal of time paraphrasing, from your view point, items discussed
with staff. Your letter almost indicates that staff was involved in the development of
your plans and endorses your proposal. This was not the case. Staff suggested
removing one of the units so that no variances are needed for the project.
Your subdivision application will not proceed until the variance application is re-
submitted.
Please send your fully completed application by April 16�', 1999. If a completed
application is received by April 16�', your variance application hearing, discussion, and
action will take place at the City of Fridley Appeals Commission Meeting on May 12,
1999 at 7:30 P.M.. Your subdivision application hearing, discussion, and action will take
place at the City of Fridley Planning Commission Meeting on May 19, 1999 at 7:30
P.M.. Both meetings will be held in the City Council Chambers at 6431 University
Avenue.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or the process, please feel free to contact
me at 572-3599.
Sincerely,
Scott Hickok

SUBJECT: Snow and Ice Removal
During the winter months, a number of properties pushed snow out into
the street and boulevards which impacted the City snow removal
activities and/or caused considerable obstruction as a result of snow
piles and ice after a city snowplowing operation. The proposed
ordinance purpose is to protect the public health and safety by
r�stricting the deposition and storage of winter snow or ice on public
streets.,or sidewalks, bikeway walkways, boulevards and other public

The ordinance also establishes a penalty system for repeated offenses.
Accordingly this ordinance would require the amendment to chapter 11
establishing the fees for repeated snow removal violations.
Recommend the City Council approve the first reading of an ordinance
establishing Chapter 514 and amending Chapter il, Section 11.10.
