OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
Mayor Jorgenson explained that this was the time set aside for residents to speak about issues not
on the agenda.
Tom Gerrety and Susan, residents of 5842 Hackmann Avenue wished to address the Council on a
letter they received from the Code Enforcement Officer, Missy Daniels. The letter stated they
were in violation of City code by having a small trailer parked on the side of their home. They
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 PAGE 7
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 gazage. 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 enforcement 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 Iook 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 PAGE 8
Mayor Jorgenson stated that a sign is something the City would have to request from the State.
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.
MOTION made by Councilmember Barnette to receive the letter from Mr. Impola to Ms. Jones.
Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.

CONSTRUCTION OF A HOLIDAY STATIONSTORE, GENERALLY LOCATED
AT 5695 HACKMANN AVENUE NE (WARD 2)(TABLED APRIL 26,1999)
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to remove this item from the table. Seconded by
Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated this is a request by Holiday Companies to allow the
construction of a motor vehicle fuel station and car wash in an area zoned C-2 at 5695 Hackmann
Avenue. He presented an aerial photograph for the southeast quadrant of Old Central, Highway 65
and Hackmann Avenue.
Mr. Hickok stated that in 1975, the property was rezoned from C-1 s to C-2; however, the zoning
maps were not updated to reflect that zoning. It is shown on the zoning maps as being C-1, but that
is inaccurate. It is truly zoned C-2, and there are two parcels of land. This property has been used
as a service station since the 1950s. The existing special use permit for the site was issued to Union
76, prior to Citgo's �operations on this site, for motor fueling operations. The special use permit
befare the Council this evening also includes a car wash.

Mayor Jorgenson stated with the construction, there are two lanes where motorists have to swerve
around concrete barriers. A lot of people are not using those intersections and takinS alternate
routes. She asked if there was any data available on Hackmann Avenue and Old Central.
Mr. Preston stated that due to the construction, new traffic was not counted and estimates were
taken based on the Department of Transportation's counts. He stated when the analysis was done,
they did not have any values on the Hackmann Avenue approach. Using all the values on Old
Central and values from the Holiday station, there is a"C" level of service and little or no problem
for the Hackmann approach to Old Central.
Mayor Jorgenson questioned the traffic volume for Hackmann Avenue and Old Central.
Mr. Preston stated there are 387 vehicles per hour for westbound traffioach, there are 72 vehicleg
vehicles per hour for eastbound traffic. He stated for the Hackmann app
per hour during the peak periods.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the traffic data given to Mr. Hickok mirrored these figures.
Mr. Preston stated those figures were for a 24-hour period so this would be a fraction of those
volumes.
Mayor Jorgenson stated there are 1,200 and 3,000 vehicles per day using Polk Street and
Hackmann Avenue that need to access onto Old Central.
Mr. Preston stated an estimate would have to be done on what percentage of those trips occurred in
the peak hours and the direction the motorists were headed. He stated he estimated the peak hour
volumes based on Old Central. There are 8,000 vehicles per day on Old Central, with 387 vehicles
westbound and 558 vehicles eastbound. The 387 an�e geak hours.�The numbers he900 d are
between eight to ten percent of the traffic occurs duri g p
higher than what is shown on the map.
Mayor Jorgenson stated the map shows 7,000 vehicles per day pass Woody Lane and Old Central
and traffic increased by 1,000 vehicles to Moore Lake. She stated that with the 3,000 vehicles from
Hackmann, this increases the count to over 10,000 additional vehicles.
Mr. Preston stated that not all the 3,000 vehicles are making a left turn to go to Central Avenue.
Some motorists will be making a right as they come from Hackmann Avenue.
Councilmember Wolfe asked when the traffic counts were taken.
Mr. Preston stated the counts were done for three hours and the largest number during four
consecutive 15-minute periods was used. The traffic generated from the Holiday site was th�
highest for a gas station. He stated the largest number of existing counts was added to the largest
number for the proposed development.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAy 10,1999
PAGE 12
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Preston how they arrived at the figure of 84 vehicles.
Mr. Preston stated the proposed traffic generation from the new Holiday store would be 144
vehicles during peak hours, 72 in and 72 out. He stated the Citgo counts had been taken by the
Department of Transportation in March, amounting to 30 vehicles, so this figure was subtracted
from 72 to arrive at 42 or a total of 84 in and out.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the 144 estimated trips for Holiday is what a normal as station
would have during peak periods. g
Mr. Preston stated there is a standard reference, the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) trip
analysis, which traffic engineers use. There are three land uses listed for service stations; one for
only a service station, another for a station and convenience store, and still another for a station,
convenience store, and car wash. He stated every time another element is added, the traffic count
goes slightly higher.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the traffic counts take into consideration the proximity of a
freeway or highway.
Mr. Preston stated the ITE uses an analysis of 13.8 trips per fueling station during peak hours and,
taking into consideration the regression line, this would amount to 110 vehicles per hour. He stated
their figures were slightly higher at 144.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that some of the neighbors were concerned due to the close
proximity of the freeway and a busy highway, as well as Moore Lake beach.
Mr. Preston stated there are advantages for Holiday to be located on a roadway where there is high
traffic volume. He stated potential customers may already be using these streets and some may live
in the neighborhood.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that most shopping centers locating in an area do a queuing analysis, taking
into consideration the population, density, and highways. She was surprised this was not included
in the traffic analysis.
Mr. Preston stated there was a queuing a.nalysis on the westbound approach.
Mayor Jorgenson asked how many vehicles could be stacked on the new segment of Hackmarix�
Avenue.
Mr. Flora stated there is 100 to 125 feet so there is space for six or seven cars.
Mayor Jorgenson asked how many vehicles could be stacked between TH 65 and the median.
Mr. Flora stated there is about 345 feet so there is space for 15 or 16 cars.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 13
Mayor Jorgenson asked how many cars can safely make it through the traffic signal.
Mr. Flora stated it all depends on the timing set by the Department of Transportation.
Mr. Preston stated there will be an additional traffic lane. As it exists today, there is only one lane
with 373 vehicles trying to make the left turn. When this project is completed, there will be two
lanes for 390 vehicles, which is significantly less for a queue because there are two lanes for the left
turn.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that during the time the highway was open to traffic going westbound, five
vehicles could make it through the traffic signal. She questioned if 15 vehicles could make it
through this signal with the two lanes of traffic.
Mr. Preston stated it takes about two seconds per vehicle to get through the signal which is about
ten seconds long.
Mayor Jorgenson stated traffic is sometimes backed up at this intersection all the way to 53rd
Avenue.
Mr. Preston stated the longer the signal for the side street, the less time for heavier traffic on
Highway 65. He stated the new design should be better because of the dual left turn lanes.
Mayor Jorgenson stated this is not the intersection design preferred by the State. She stated both
the State and County wanted to remove residential properties to have Polk Street a through street to
Old Central. Mayor Jorgenson stated the City did not want to remove single family homes to
accommodate this design.
Mr. Flora stated the design of this intersection is an improvement for Hackmann Avenue and
provides additional stacking.
Councilmember Billings sta.ted in Mr. Preston's memo to Holiday, he indicates the average daily
traffic on Highway 65 east of the intersection is 8,300 vehicles compared to the 1996 figure of
8,000. He questioned if you consider vehicles that are already in the area, if this estimate of 144
trips per day and 84 new trips would be smaller.
Mr. Preston stated that traffic generation to the driveway at Holiday would be expected to remain at
144 vehicles. He stated in the traffic analysis of Highway 65, it has been suggested that_the bulk of
the 144 trips are already on the road system. He stated they assumed these were new trips, except
the 30 taken into consideration for the existing Citgo station.
Councilmember Billings stated that some of these vehicles in and out of Old Central may already
be on the roadway because they are in the area. The argument that it is already a high volume area,
in some ways, relates to the figures because that would be an advantage to Holiday that the
numbers are already there and they will not create more than 84 trips in and out of their driveway.
Mr. Preston stated they assumed the 42 trips in and 42 out was a net increase.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 14
Councilmember Billings stated the 84 trips per day then is a worse case scenario and wanted to
make sure he was clear on the numbers.
Mr. Preston stated he felt this was a reasonable scenario. He stated they tried to be conservative on
this number.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if most of their business would come from the immediate
neighborhood.
Mr. Hoeschen stated he did not have the answer to that question, but hoped their store would serve
the neighborhood.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if_the store would bring in a lot of people that are not already in the
neighborhood.
Mr. Hoeschen stated most people purchase gasoline close to where they live. When looking at an
analysis of this store, people do shop where it is convenient. He stated if it is not convenient to get
off and on the freeway, people will not shop at their store. He felt they will have a balance from the
freeway and those motorists using Highway 65.
Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Hoeschen if Holiday was counting on business from Medtronic which
will be located across the street.
Mr. Hoeschen stated he would expect some traffic and patronage from Medtronic.
Mayor Jorgenson stated this was not taken into consideration in the traffic analysis.
Mr. Hoeschen stated that it was included in the traffic analysis.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she wondered what percentage of the business would come from
Medtronic in that they will be located across the street.
Mayor Jorgenson stated she has purchased gas at the Citgo station for 23 years. There are people
from other areas of the City, as well as neighboring communities, who also purchase their gas there.
Mayor Jorgenson felt the employees of Onan and Medtronic would use this facility to purchase
gasoline. There are several peak periods from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m., 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., and 3 p.m. to 6
p.m. She stated that Fridley is not the typical bedroom community, as there are many people
coming into the City to work. There will also be additional traffic with the Medtronic
development.
Mayor Jorgenson quoted the following paragraph in the memorandum from Mark Nelson, I3oliday
Companies, to Howard Preston and Craig Rasmussen, dated April 29, 1999: "It should �.1s� ��
noted that the proposed site for the Medtronic Campus would be accessed on the west leg of f_h��
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 15
intersection. A higher volume of traffic due to that development could possibly impact the
operation of this intersection but would be uniikely to change the conclusion that Holiday traffic
does not cause serious congestion at the intersection. Therefore, forecasts of Medtronic volumes
were not considered by BRW, Inc. in these analyses". She felt this was a flaw.
Mr. Hoeschen stated his understanding of the issue is when Medtronic's construction is completed,
there will be an elevated level of tr�c that may impact the intersection, so it may be worse than it
is today. He stated what BRW is saying is that regardless of the numbers, the number of cars
Holiday is generating will not significantly impact that grade level. Mr. Hoeschen stated it is his
understanding that their property is allowed to generate additional traffic, but not cause a traffic
hazard.
Mr. Hoeschen stated there are a number of persons in the neighborhood who do not want them at
this location. He stated these are people we want as our customers and it is disquieting to hear that
we are not wanted. He asked Council to look at this property in a straightforward manner.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that is understandable and the Council does very clearly look at the legal
aspects of that intersection and Holiday's ability to do business.
Mr. Hoeschen stated it would be unfair to restrict traffic generation from this property and not all
other properties.
Councilmember Wolfe stated the existing gas station has a number of kids hanging out to get
candy, pop, etc. He stated that people from the beach will not only increase vehicle tr�c, but also
the pedestrian traffic. He felt there is a safety issue with people trying to cross at this intersection to
access the store.
Mr. Hoeschen stated, technically, Holiday would not be offering that many different things than
what is now available.
Councilmember Billings stated that Stipulation No. 9limits the car wash hours of operation from 6
a.m. to 11 p.m. He asked Mr. Hoeschen if Holiday would consider limiting the hours from 7 a.m.
to 11 p. m. as a gesture of good will to the neighborhood.
Mr. Hoeschen stated they would gladly limit the hours from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m.
Mayor Jorgenson stated the people residing in the apartment complex would be very appreciative.
Mayor Jorgenson stated she had a number of telephone calls and contact with residents in the
neighborhood. She stated that former Councilmember Schneider has also received a number of
calls. He is in attendance to address some of the comments he has received from former
constituents.
Mr. Jim Wolfe, 1265 Hathaway Lane, asked how persons coming down Hackmann Avenue get to
Old Central to go west. .
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 16
Mr. Flora stated that motorists would have to go around the island, but there is a longer distance
between Highway 65 and Hackmann Avenue. He stated there would be a right turn lane, a through
lane, and two left turn lanes.
Ms. Ann Williams, 5760 Hackmann Avenue, stated that any vehicles coming from I-694 and
Highway 65 will have to come up Hackmann Avenue and then into the gas station. She stated she
has lived on Hackmann Avenue over 30 years and it has been a nice neighborhood. She felt that
because of the increased traffic, this development would not be favorable for the young children
who have moved into the neighborhood. Ms. Williams stated her concern is if the store will be
maintained and who will be responsible for picking up debris in the neighborhood. She stated even
though there will be the same number of gas pumps that exist now at the Citgo station, there will be
an additional volume of people purchasing gas.
Ms. Williams stated she was also concerned with the delivery trucks for the gas, as well as the
convenience store, and the time of their deliveries. She stated her driveway is deteriorating because
she has so many cars turning around in it. She stated she was very concerned about this
development, and allowing it to come into the neighborhood is only the beginning of deteriaration
for the neighborhood.
Councilmember Barnette asked Ms. Williams if she believed this gas station would significantly
change the neighborhood.
Ms. Williams stated there will be increased traffic and she believed there would be more than 42
additional cars. She is concerned about the children coming from the beach. She felt it would be a
big change for the neighborhood, and she was not in favor of the development.
Mayor Jorgenson stated the figures from the 1996 study shows 4,000 vehicles on Gardena, but
there are no figures for Hackmann Avenue.
Mayor Jorgenson stated a question Ms. Williams had asked earlier was about the placement of stop
signs and how the City was going to control the Hackmann/Old Central intersection and motorists
exiting the gas station.
Mr. Flora stated there is a proposed stop sign at Hackmann Avenue and Old Central.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if there would be a stop sign at the Gilstad's driveway.
Mr. Flora stated there would be a free right turn at this location.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if residents in the neighborhood would have to stop to accommodate the
traffic exiting from the gas station.

PAGE 19
Mr. Hickok stated a convenience store and combination video or a book store and coffee shop
could possibly locate on this site and the acreage should be adequate to meet all the code
requirements.
Mayor Jorgenson stated these types of businesses would not operate 24 hours a day, seven days a
week. She stated one of the concerns of the apartment managers was the close proximity of the
bedrooms in their complex to the car wash and the noise this would generate.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how close the car wash operation would be top the apartment
complex as compared with Riverside car wash on East River Road.
Mr. Hickok stated the car wash would be about 40 feet from the apartment complex. There is also
a drive aisle of an additiona120 feet. As for the Riverside car wash, there is about 90 feet; however,
it may be somewhat closer for residents to the south.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there were noise levels have been established regarding car
washes.
Mr. Hickok stated that car washes cannot exceed the State level for a commercial development. He
stated that is the reason for the number of stipulations for screening. The apartment complex and
car wash would need to co-exist in close proximity.
Mayor Jorgenson stated the State standards measure noise over a long period of time. She stated
that even launching a missile would meet the standards because the noise is not continuous. 'This
would also apply to the car wash, as the noise is not continuous.
Councilmember Billings asked if the City was in negotiations with Holiday on lease agreements or
land purchases or if those negotiations were completed.
Mr. Burns, City Manger, stated these negotiations are, basically, completed. There are two sets of
negotiations in addition to this special use permit, but in all the cases, there are different indivrduals
handling the items. He stated there has been no overlap or cross communication. Mr. Burns stated
he knows perception is always very important, but he felt it would be unfortunate if perception
allowed people to believe that somehow one set of negotiations colored another. He stated staff has
a high level of integrity in handling these items.
Councilmember Billings stated if the negotiations are complete, there is no way the Council's
action on this item is tied to any other negotiations. He ns he is not elv n aware of he takes�as a
comments that the Council might be swayed by negotiatio
personal affront. He stated he is disappointed in those comments about a staff that someone
worked with for so many years.
Mr. Schneider asked if any of the negotiations were taking place at the same time.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 20
Mr. Burns stated he would expect there was some overlap in terms of timing. He stated three
different people are handling these items, Scott Hickok, Grant Fernelius, and Rick Pribyl. He
stated they are totally separate issues.
Mr. Schneider stated to address Councilmember Billings' comments, he is not, in any way,
suggesting anything is intentionally taking place. He stated he negotiates with different divisions of
the same customers and it is human nature that there is give and take to come to agreement. He
stated it was not intended as an insult to staff or the Council.
Councilmember Billings stated many times he has heard former Councilmember Schneider say that
perception is reality. People watching this evening may believe this is happening. He stated he
will be voting with his peers and none of the Council has been privy to other negotiations with
Holiday.
Mr. Schneider stated that staff s recommendation does cany a lot of weight, and he was surprised
after hearing the presentation. He stated that, in his mind, this is clearly the wrong thing to do, but
it is not to say that reasonable people cannot come to different conclusions.
Councilmember Barnette asked if a check cashing facility could locate on this site.
Mr. Hickok stated that his would be permitted on the parcel.
Councilmember Billings asked what the criteria was for denying a special use permit.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney stated that, basically, Council has a considerable amount of discretion in
determining whether or not a particular application is in the best interests of the health, safety and
welfare of the citizens. He stated when a use is permitted by a special use permit, it is permitted by
the Council and reasonable restrictions can be placed on the special use permit in order to ensure
compatibility. These restrictions are provided in the ordinance and the law.
Mr. Knaak stated the Council can decide not to issue a special use permit if, in the Council's
judgment, the particular conditions or features of the use are not compatible based on the health,
safety and welfare of the citizens. He stated, as a practical matter, Council has to reach a
conclusion that certain aspects of a proposed use are not compatible and, therefore, a special use
permit cannot be granted. He stated a finding must be made on the basis of incompatibility.
Mayor Jorgenson stated there is a special use permit on this particulaz parcel for the operation of a
gas station for pumping and dispensing fuel. The car wash feature to the gas station would be a
new portion of the special use permit as would the convenience store.
Mr. Hickok stated the convenience store would not need a special use permit.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if Holiday could raze the gas station and build a new one and a
convenience stare without coming to the Council.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999
PAGE 21
Mr. Hickok stated there would be building permits, but the new element to the special use permit �s
the car wash.
Mr. Knaak stated that unlike a variance, a special use permit is something the Council can re-visit
regularly. He stated that City staff has been good at reviewing conditions that exist on special use
permits. He stated if the stipulations are not being complied with, the special use permit can be
terminated.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if he was aware of this ever being done.
Mr. Knaak stated he knows of a case that just occurred several weeks ago. He stated it is unusual
and may be difficult because like any other situation where you are taking something of value, very
often it involves considerable disputes and court proceedings.
Mayor Jorgenson stated there are several businesses in the City which have been threatened with
revocation and they have to be continually monitored. She stated this is very laborious for staff and
there is a legal cost.
Councilmember Billings asked if there were any stipulations attached to the special use permit now
in force for this parcel.
Mr. Hickok stated at that time, the stipulations pertained mainly to outside storage.
Councilmember Billings asked how many of the 20 recommended stipulations for this request for a
special use permit were new.
Mr. Hickok stated there is the standard special use permit language, which is a series of three
paragraphs, used for motor fuel operations and staff added the additional stipulations.
Councilmember Billings stated if the special use pea on �ence s torelland aUide by the rigi al
wash, but could proceed with the gas station an
stipulations and not have to abide by the 20 stipulations recommended by staff.
Mr. Hickok stated if necessary, Council could re-visit the special use permit and add other
stipulations that may be appropriate. He stated it is possible that through the building permits only,
Holiday could meet the original stipulations.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hoeschen if he had any figures on how many additional
vehicles would patronize the business because of the car wash.
Mr. Hoeschen stated he believed the car wash would Se�o� h nestlynsayb as he does notiha e

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAy 10,1999

Councilmember Billings stated the car wash does not generate a considerable amount of traffic over
and above what is generated by the gas station and convenience store.
Mr. Hoeschen stated not that they can identify.
Councilmember Billings asked if the national statistics indicate a tremendously different level for a
gas station without a car wash.
Mr. Preston stated there are three categories for gas stations. They are for the station only, a station
with the convenience store, and a station with the store and car wash. He stated it is his re-
collection that the difference is an increment of ten more vehicles during the peak hours. He stated
most urban areas' peak hour traffic is 8 to 10 percent of the daily traffic.
Councilmember Billings stated that this caz wash could generate 100 cars per day.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if there was a car wash at the Cub Food site on Main Street and 57`''
Avenue.
Mr. Hoeschen stated there will be a car wash on the south side of the building.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if these two buildings will be approximately the same size.
Mr. Hoeschen stated this one may be larger by 500 square feet.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if this store would be architecturally compatible with what Holiday is
constructing on Main Street and 57`h Avenue. She stated it wili not look like residential and the
awning sticks out like a sore thumb.
Mr. Hoeschen stated the building is shingled with a pitched roof.
Councilmember Billings asked if Benshoof and Associates, a trafFc engineering company that does
work for the City, had reviewed BRW's statistics.
Mr. Ed Terhart, Benshoof and Associates, stated he reviewed the report and verified BRW's
information from the ITE manual.
Councilmember Billings asked if Benshoof and Associates had completed the study, would they
have come up with similar conclusions.
Mr. Terhart stated that, based on the information in the report, they would have used similar trip
generations and traffic volumes if they had done the traffic counts.
Ms. Rebecca Salmonson stated many people are familiar with the Holiday gas stations and felt they
will exit the freeway to use this facility. She felt this would create a lot more traffic. She asked if
the entrances from the service road would be closed.

Ms. Salmonson stated lights from the gas station will shine into windows of the residences.
Mayor Jorgenson stated this gas station is right behind her home and she can walk around at night
now without turning on lights as it lights up her whole house.
Mr. Hickok stated the lighting will be improved as it will be directed downward.
Mayor Jorgenson asked about the lighting around the perimeter.
Mr. Hickok stated it would be shielded and downcast.
Mayor Jorgenson stated if there was no car wash on the site, there are only several stipulations that
would not be in effect through the building permit process. She stated the intercom and on-site
signs are the only ones that are not normal procedure.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if the City can limit the hours of operation.
Mr. Knaak stated the Council can impose reasonable conditions for purposes of protecting the
health, safety and adjoining property owners.
Mayor Jorgenson stated a 7 a.m. operation on Monday through Friday would be satisfactory, but
felt it should be later on weekends.
Councilmember Wolfe stated the car wash operation would be to 11 p.m. and was concemed
because there were children in the apartment complex and this was quite late.
Mr. Hoeschen stated he would be agreeable to not operating the car wash facility unless all the
doors are closed two hours from the beginning time and two hours before closing.
Mayor Jorgenson stated she would prefer that a car wash not be located on this property.
Councilmember Wolfe stated his constituents are not in favor of this special use permit for many
reasons such as traffic, noise, and concern about safety.
MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to deny Special Use Permit, SP #99-01. Seconded by
Councilmember Billings.
Councilmember Billings stated he cannot support the motion to deny this special use permit. He
stated the burden of responsibility is on the City to determine that there are e�raordinary conditions
whether they be traffic, noise, or pollution that would create a non-compatible use with the
surrounding neighborhood or the rest of the City. He felt the petitioner has been able to
demonstrate that they are not going to be a major intrusion into the quality of life. T'he traffic
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 24
studies indicate the increase in tr�c will be minor. He stated staff has pointed out that a gas �.
station and convenience store could exist on the property without the stipulations. �`
``�,.
Councilmember Billings stated that Holiday believes the traffic counts are not large enough to ,�
indicate this would be an intrusion into the neighborhood and City. He stated, in fact, this project is
something that we really do not have a finding of fact to be able to deny.
Councilmember Wolfe stated he understands Councilmember Billings' comments, but his
constituents have made it clear they do not want this development.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she does not think there will be a lot more traffic with the car
wash. She stated she realizes there may be some noise issues; however, a gas station and
convenience store would be permitted without a special use permit. She felt that Holiday should
not be held accountable for any more traffic that another company may bring into the area. She felt
she could not support the motion to deny. Councilmember Bolkcom stated by having the car wash
operation start at 7 a.m. and having the doors closed, as well as the downcast lighting, this will a11
be helpful.
Councilmember Wolfe asked Council if they would be concerned if it was in their neighborhood.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated you have to support the people you represent, but you also have to
look at all the facts which is difficult. The fact is a gas station can be located on this site and the car
wash would not generate that much more traffic.
Councilmember Barnette stated he respected Mayor Jorgenson's and Councilmember Wolfe's
position as you are suppose to represent your constituents. He stated he was elected at-large, but
has dealt with controversial issues in his area such as Columbia Arena and Community Park, as
well as the recently approved Texaco station. He stated he felt the concerns have been dealt with,
and he would not support the motion for denial.
Mayor Jorgenson stated she believes there has been a significant finding of fact to deny this special
use permit. She believed the traffic study is flawed because the data used in 1999 does not equate
with what was there in 1996. The noise issue and close proximity to single family residential
homes and apartment complexes adjacent is a mitigating factor. It is also detrimental to the public
safety of Moore Lake beach for children that use the bikeway/walkway and for those that walk to
the Fridley schools.
UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE, Mayor Jorgenson and Councilmember Wolfe voted in favor of the
motion. Councilmember Barnette, Councilmember Billings and Councilmember Bolkcom voted
against the motion. Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion failed.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 25

MOTION by Councilmember Billings to amend Stipulation No. 1 by striking the date of May 1
and inserting the date of June 15, 1999. Further, to amend Stipulation No. 9 by striking 6 and
inserting 7 and add the following sentence: "From 7 a.m. to 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. to 11 p.m., the doors
shall remain closed during car washing operations. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
Mayor Jorgenson stated this special use permit could be recalled by Council if all the stipulations
were not adhered ta
Mr. Knaak stated that was correct. It would involve a hearing before the Council for review of the
whole permit or all permits on the property.
Mayor Jorgenson sfated occasionally there is a stipulation where a business comes back before the
Council over a certain period of time to review their operations.
Mr. Knaak stated that could be done, but usually it is in cities that do not have the regular
enforcement that exists in Fridley.
Mayor Jorgenson asked about the hours of operation. She stated she understands, as long as the
Gilstads remain on the property, the operation would not be 24 hours a day.
Mr. Hoeschen stated as long as the Gilstads live in their home, the hours of operation would be
from 5 a.m. to midnight.

DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Jayne Griffith, 5675 Quincy Street sent a letter to the Council and stated that part of the
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
by Councilmember Barnette.
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.
Councilmember Billings stated again that it makes no difference who the developer was. Mr.
Knaak, stated that was correct.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 29
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."
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.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 30
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 Board, 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, and
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. �
Mr. Hagmann stated that they would be willing to make the offer again.

16. PRELIMINARY PLAT REQUEST, P.S. #99-01, BY MEDTRONIC, INC. TO
CREATE FRIDLEY EXECUTIVE CENTER ZND ADDITION, GENERALLY
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 construction is done. He stated that any street they build will have a
life of 40 to 50 years and about every 8 to 10 years 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 years, 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.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 10,1999 PAGE 32
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.

a class project to make the students aware of the history of Fridley, and the students wished to
present their completed posters.
Clint Massey presented his poster depicting the Fridley ox cart trail and reviewed the background
of this trail. He was interested in how people traveled in these early days, and information was
obtained from his teachers and the library. Clint stated that this trail is now known as East River
Road, which passes in front of his school.
Taylor Felton presented a poster on the May, 1965 tornado in Fridley. He received his information
from the library, as well as personal interviews. Taylor stated that he also went on a field trip to the
Fridley Historical Society, Banfill-Locke House and the Manomin cemetery.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 24 1999 PAGE 2
Jesse Backstrom presented a poster on Rice Creek. He chose this subject because Rice Creek is
close to his home. The creek was important for water travel, and the well-known Banfill-Locke
House was built on the creek where it still stands today. Jesse stated that it was one of the few
places where people could obtain lodging. The creek was named for Henry Rice, a former state
senator.
Julia Reinisch presented her poster on the Fridley Tigers, the high school mascot. She stated that
she interviewed Councilman Barnette. According to him, in 1958, the new Fridley High School
needed a mascot. The committee, of which he was a member, chose the tiger because it is fierce
and strong and the colors are black and gold.
Julia stated that the former principal of Stevenson Elementary, Jerry Reiter, told the students that
the Fridley Historical Society was seeking donations and the students raised $107, double their
goal, by doing yard work for this cause.
Councilman Barnette stated that he felt these were wonderful projects, and the future was in pretty
good hands when young people take time to do these projects. He stated that the posters will be on
display at the Fridley Municipal Center.
Mayor Jorgenson thanked the students for the completed projects.

Councilman Billings stated that in the last two weeks, Council was made aware that this ar
question has two zoning districts, C-1 and C-2. With this in mind, he suggested a stipulation tha
he believed would clarify the location of a building on this particular site. He state p cel in
stipulation is as follows: (21) The petitioner and the City of Fridley acknowled e that thi t
has an area zoned G2 and an area zoned C-1. Any car �,ash can onl b d that the added
on that portion of the parcel that is zoned C-2. However, the etrole g S p�cel
convenience store may be located on any combination of C-1 or C_2 y e constructed and operated
setback requirements, and other zoning restrictions. Nothin , herewitp ��eling arid the
portions of the site, subject to
there would be any change in the zoning on this parcel as a reu lt of this speci 1 se permitl.nply �at
Councilman Billings stated that he felt this added stipulation would clarify that the car wash c
be on the portion of the site that is zoned C 1 and can only be located on the portion of ��ot
zoned C-2. He stated that this would avoid any misunderstanding that, by approval of the s ecial
use permit, Council had done a rezoning on the C-1 portion of the property, p
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she raised the question on the zoning of this parcel. In ch
records, it was found that a portion of the ro e e�king the
issue could be discussed this evening; howe er a publ ceheanngss requ ied in o der to no�at this
residents who may want to comment. i f y t h e
Mayor Jorgenson stated that she received a letter regarding this special use permit from Ro er an
Marlene Sonstegard, 1249 Hathaway Lane. These ro e g d
meeting this evemng and Wanted to make sure that Councl r ceived theirinforma ion� She sta ed
that if Council was going to consider adding an additional stipulation, comments should be
received from the residents this evening or when the hearing is held.
Councilman Billings stated that a special use permit request does not require a public hearin at
Council level, but that the hearing is held by the Plamm�g Commission. He stated that si g����
new information has been received regarding the zoning on this parcel; however, the�n'r��t
reason for his affirmative vote at the last meeting was because a special use permit alreadp exis s
for the petroleum fueling. Y
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 24 1999 PAGE 5
Councilman Billings stated that when a vote was taken May 10 on this special use permit, the car
wash was a major consideration, as it would generate an additional one hundred cars per day. He
stated that he did not feel that this additional traffic would create a significant impact on the health,
safety, or welfare of the residents. Councilman Billings stated that he moved to reconsider this
special use permit due to new information on the zoning and to clarify that the car wash could not
be on the C-1 portion of the site.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that the question was raised on how to proceed in light of the new
information regarding the zoning on this parcel. He stated that since there was a duly enacted
special use permit, the appropriate procedure was to review the special use permit. He stated that
what Councilman Billings was proposing was actually a reconsideration of this special use permit.
He stated that, by the unanimous approval of the motion to reconsider, Council now has the special
use permit before them with a suggested amendment to the original motion. Mr. Knaak stated that,
ordinarily, items are not revisited in this manner; however, it is allowed under Robert's Rules of
Order. He stated that it is not illegal or inappropriate to reconsider the motion and no new
notification is required.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the petitioner received notice and is present this evening. She stated
that she received countless telephone calls from residents and was told that property owners had to
be re-notified and the item brou?ht back on June 14.
Mr. Knaak stated that with respect to the re-notification, the process could be followed as it is
permitted, but it was not one he would expect and recommend.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the additional information was not available at the last Council
meeting relating to the initial rezoning of the property in 1976.
Mr. Knaak stated that he understood there was a mistake regarding the zoning. This would be
justification for revisiting the special use permit, if Council so chooses.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she felt no action should be taken until the public hearing on
June 14 so that everyone could be re-notified.
Councilman Bamette stated that based on the fact that Councilman Wolfe could not be present this
evening, he would agree that Council should not take action until the June 14 meeting.
Mayor Jorgenson stated she concurred that Council should wait until June 14 to take action on this
item.
Councilman Billings stated that by reconsideration of this special use permit, it nullifies the action
taken at the May 10 meeting. Therefore, the special use permit is not approved and is before the
Council as originally submitted. He felt that it was not necessary to advertise for a public hearing
and questioned the procedure if the petitioner were to withdraw his request for the special use
permit.
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that in 1976, a special use permit was issued for the
Union 76 gas station that allowed dispensing of motor fuel on this parcel. He stated that the special
use permit could remain in place if Holiday were to purchase the property and not change the use.
He stated that the City could review this special use permit if there are significant changes. The
reason for the request for a new special use permit was because of the razing of the building, and
the new installation of tanks, lighting, and a ventilation system.
Councilman Billings asked if a convenience store could be located on the site.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL NIEETING OF MAY 24 1999 PAGE 6
Mr. Hickok stated that a convenience store is a permitted use in this zoning district without a
special use permit, but a building permit would be required.

NEW BUSINESS:
11. APPROVE REDEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF
FRIDLEY AND MEDTRONIC INC. FOR CONSTRUCTION OF ITS
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS (WARD 11:
Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that she was pleased to present the
redevelopment agreement with Medtronic, Inc. to allow them to construct their coYporate
headquarters. She stated that the definitions used in this agreement are the same as those of the
Housing and Redevelopment Authority, and it outlines the rights and obligations of the City and
Medtronic, Inc.
Ms. Dacy stated that Article I defines office and related uses, minimum improvements, parking
structures, and public improvements. Article II includes public improvements that are available to
the site, acknowledges there may be buildings ten stories in height, and parking structures and
buildings may have a fair market value below actual costs. Article II further provides that
Medtronic has corporate approvals to build minimum improvements, must comply with City
requirements and implement the Master Plan, pay prevailing wage rates, pay customary fees
associated with development, and construct a new parkway as a public street. Article III provides
for Master Plan amendment action within sixty (60) days of filing complete application and
incremental construction process in place. Article N provides for the termination date. Article V
provides for failure to perform the requirements under the contract. Article VI covers special
provisions for the best efforts to construct TH 65 improvements, the seeking of Federal funding and
providing local match, Rice Creek access issues, and construction work hours. Article VII covers
the expansion of the roadway and Medtronic's agreement to reimburse the City if any parcels
related to the realignment of the roadway have to be taken by eminent domain.
Ms. Dacy stated that staff recommended this redevelopment agreement be approved by Council.
Mayor Jorgenson asked about the construction work hours and if there have been any other early
7:00 a.m. starts. She was concerned about the residents in the area with construction beginning this
early in the moming.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that there have been early starts in the past in several
residential areas.
Councilman Barnette stated that the construction equipment would be about two hundred yards
from homes. He did not feel it would have a large impact on the residents.
Councilman Billings asked if Article VII was necessary. Ms. Dacy stated that this was discussed
and was made a part of the agreement in the event there was a problem with acquisition.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked for an explanation of Article II, Section 1.
Ms. Dacy stated that this section states that Medtronic would not pay for any special assessments.
She stated that this was because they would be undertaking the site improvements themselves.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that she was concerned about the sixty (60) day time limitation
under Article III.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING_ OF MAY 24, 1999 PAGE 10
Ms. Dacy stated that Medtronic can build up to 1.6 million square feet under the provisions of the
Master Plan; however, if there were any environmental issues, State law requirements would
prevail.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked for an explanation of Article VI, Section 6.9.
Ms. Dacy stated that the agreement provides that the City will use their best efforts to secure
funding. It is not, however, a requirement, but something that has been done in the past. She stated
the key point in Section 6.9 allows Medtronic to continue to develop without the TH 65
improvements.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if in Article VI, Section 6.10, Medtronic is requesting more than is
required by the City.
Ms. Dacy stated that Rice Creek access would be paid for by Medtronic because it is access on their
property.
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated that Schedule D referred to water and sewer on
Bridgewater Drive. He asked if this was the new or existing Bridgewater Drive.
Ms. Dacy stated that the lines underneath the right-of-way would be public improvements, and the
lines outside the public right-of-way would be private.
Mr. Flora stated, as he understands, there are existing utilities on Bridgewater Drive, but they
would be removed, and the City would have no responsibility for them. Ms. Dacy stated that was
correct.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked if action on this item could be postponed until the next Council
meeting.
Ms. Arndt, attorney for Medtronic, stated that this has been a year of long, arduous negotiations and
discussions. She stated that Medtronic has space they are currently leasing, and the schedule for the
next several days was contingent on approval of this a�eement. She stated that Medtronic would
need to contact the MPCA, and they cannot do so until this agreement is approved. She felt this
was a good agreement. By tabling the item, nothing would change in the next several weeks.
Ms. Arndt stated that Medtronic's senior management was adamant on Thursday that this
agreement be approved in order to keep their schedule on track.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that Council had not had an opportunity to discuss this agreement until
tonight's meeting. She stated that there was a lot of material to review. The possibility of a joint
meeting of the City Council and the HRA was suggested to discuss this agreement.
Ms. Arndt stated that the meeting with the HR� last Thursday evening went very well. She stated
that Mr. Casserly discussed fiscal disparities and felt that a delay in action on this agreement would
not change the end result. She stated that they were unable to come to a solution on how to balance
the fiscal disparities, but they would work with Mr. Casserly on this issue.
Councilman Barnette asked how the HRA voted on this agreement. Ms. Dacy stated that the vote
was unanimous for approval of the agreement.
Councilman Barnette stated that he felt comfortable approving the agreement. He stated that this
development was one of the most exciting things that has happened in Fridley. He did not know of
any issues that would change his opinion if the item was tabled for several weeks.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 24.1999 PAGE 11
MOTION by Councilman Billings to authorize the appropriate City staff and officials to enter into
this redevelopment agreement with Medtronic, Inc. Seconded by Councilman Barnette.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated she agreed that staff and everyone has been working diligently on
this agreement, and she would not want to jeopardize this project.
NIr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the City still has a very significant decision to make in July
regarding extension of the tax increment financing district; however, construction could begin
without the City relinquishing total control.
Councilman Billings stated that throughout negotiations, senior management at Medtronic has been
apprised of the negotiations and consistently provided direction, goals, and limitations. He stated
that due to the open meeting law, Council has not had this opportunity. He stated, that as it was
pointed out, changes could be made to the agreement prior to approval of the tax increment district.
Mr. Casserly stated that the issue of extending the ta�c increment financing district would have to
come back to Council. He stated that Council approval was necessary, as well as the approval of
the school district and the county. In addition to these approvals for the extension, the HRA would
be involved in approving a tax increment budget. The budget was not large enough to provide for
the types of assistance required. Mr. Casserly stated that there would be a series of approvals for
the tax increment district, and public hearings would have to be held by Council and the HRA.
Mr. Casserly stated that Medtronic understands the concern about the special law that was passed
and has discussed a lot of the issues.
NIr. Donn Hagmann, Director of Real Estate Facilities for Medtronic, stated that Councilman
Billings indicated that senior management had an opportunity to review the agreement in detail. He
stated that this was not the case; however, and he and Ms. Arndt are involved in this task.
Mr. Hagmann stated that their request for expeditious approval was from a fiscal responsibility, as
Medtronic would be spending a lot of money on this project, and every month of delay is very
costly. He stated that he would appreciate Council's approval of the agreement.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor
Jorgenson declared the motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Jorgenson thanked everyone for working through these very difficult issues and stated that
she looked forward to working with Medtronic.
12. ESTABLISH A PUBLIC HEARING FOR JUNE 14, 19991 _FOR REVIEW OF
AT 5695 HACKMANN AVENUE N.E. (WARD 2):
Mayor Jorgenson stated that Council has had considerable discussion already on this item.
Councilman Barnette asked if Holiday has agreed to eliminate its car wash on this site, as stated in
staff s memorandum dated May 10. He asked if this public hearing would be for the car wash.
Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that the site plan shows the elimination of the car wash
on this site.
Councilman Barnette stated that for the residents, this answers the question that the car wash was
no longer on the site plan.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 24, 1999 PAGE 12
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the public hearing is for clarification.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that, for clarification, by tabling Special Use Permit, SP #99-01,
technically speaking, SP #99-01 would not be reviewed by Council since it has not been approved.
He stated that there was another special use permit for the site, and it would be appropriate for
Council to review the existing special use permit. He believed it was Council's intention to deal
with the issues of the special use permit that already exist on the site.
Mr. Knaak stated that he would suggest two specific actions. He stated that Council has already
taken action to table Special Use Permit, SP #99-01, and the other action would be a hearing to
review the special use permit granted in 1976. He felt that the record should be clear so that there
was only one special use permit on this site, and Council should review the one passed in 1976.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that the special use permit issued in 1976 needs to be reviewed, but it
would not preclude Council from removing Special Use Permit, SP #99-01 from the table.
Councilman Billings asked if there was sufficient time for notice and publication in the newspaper
far the June 14 hearing.
Mr. Hickok stated that staff would have time to advertise this hearing.
Councilman Barnette stated that it should be clear to residents what the Council would be
reviewing.
MOTION by Councilwoman Bolkcom to set the public hearing for June 14, 1999 to review the
existing special use permit of the gas station located at 5695 Hackmann Avenue. Seconded by
Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion
camed unanimously.
13. VARIANCE REOUEST, VAR #99-05. BY TIMOTHY JAWOR. TO REDUCE THE
REOUIRED REAR YARD SETBACK FROM 40 FEET TO 19.2 FEET TO ALLOW
THE CONSTRUCTION OF A SEVEN-UNIT TOWNHOME STRUCTURE
GENERAI.LX LOCATED AT 7411 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E. (WARD 1Z
Mr. Bolin, Planning Assistant, stated that this was a request for a variance to reduce the required
rear yard setback from 40 feet to 19.2 feet in order to allow the construction of a seven-unit
townhome structure at 7411 University Avenue. He stated that this property was under
consideration for a rezoning from R-2 to R-3. This rezoning would be on Council's June 14
agenda, along with a final plat.
Mr. Bolin stated that condominiums are permitted in a R-3 zoning district only. He then presented
background history on this property dating back to 1961. Mr. Bolin stated that staff felt this request
did not meet the criteria for the variance, as there was no undue hardship, as defined by the law. He
stated that it was possible to develop the site without the need for a variance if the units were
reduced from seven to six.
Mr. Bolin stated that both the Appeals and Planning Commissions recommended approval of the
variance with the stipulations suggested by staff.
Mayor Jorgenson asked the rear yard setback of adjacent R-3 buildings.
Mr. Bolin stated that the average is about a 70-foot reaz setback.
1'lvLVa. _ __ .
Mr. Tim Jawor, the petitioner, and his partner, Mr• Max Miller, addressed Council regarding their
variance request.
Mr. Jawor stated that, in 1994, there was a propT�s fO os osed p oj ect met all the setb ckse but the
with very small bedrooms and single garages. p P
units were not desirable. Mr. Jawor stated � tated that the unit on the end en roa h sl nbo the rear

Mayor Jorgenson stated that the reason for the setback was to provide green space and areas where
children could play on their own property.
Mr. Jawor stated that each unit would have its own semi-private area with a deck. This area would
be 21 foot by 18 foot in size.
Mayor Jorgenson questioned if the reason for constructing seven units, rather than six, was due to
economics.
Mr. Miller stated that by having seven units, it would reduce the cost for the buyers of these units.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated she did not believe that by having seven units, rather than six, it
would reduce costs that much for the owners.
Mr. Jawor stated that the costs to the owners for lond al o reduce the init al clostof the townhomes.t

Mayor Jorgenson questioned if the financial situation could be considered a hardship.
Mr. K,�aak, City Attorney, stated that the statute was quite clear and states, specifically, that
ecor �mic hardship is not a basis for granting a variance.
Mr. Jawor stated that there are economic consin s t h a�manne h f° h a dt`'�'ep -un�t ap ll�e t
con iguration of the lot. The lot was configured
cor �plex. Townhomes require a different configuration to allow the densit� tander the zoning.

Councilman Barnette asked about the drainage and if there was a plan.
Mr. Jawor stated that a drainage plan was submitted and approved. The plan was for a storm
holding pond in the front with water from the back flowing down the south lot line to the pond into
the storm system. �
Councilman Billings stated that he could not agree with the financial hardship. He stated that if
only six units were constructed at 21 feet, there would still be a need for a small variance, unless the
end unit was built at 20.8 feet. He stated that he would support such a variance, but he could not
support a variance to reduce the rear yard setback to 19.2 feet.
Mr. Jawor stated that the lot was designed for a twelve-unit apartment complex, but he felt the City
would prefer to have owner/occupied townhomes rather than apartments.
Councilman Barnette stated that both the Appeals and Planning Commissions voted unarumously
to recommend approval of this variance. He stated that there are some necessary soil corrections,
and this property had been vacant for a long time. He stated that the owner of the property to the
north.
Mr. Hansen, and Mr. Kirkham, representing Grace Lutheran Church, were both in favor of the
project, and he would be inclined to approve the variance.
Councilwoman Bolkcom stated that six units could be built on this parcel, and she did not feel the
City should sacrifice green space.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that a 19.2 foot rear yard setback was unreasonable and would set a
precedent. She felt that the request did not meet the criteria for a variance.
Mr. Jawor stated that in the Innsbruck area there aze some rear yards that are not set back 40 feet.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that was due to the sharing of common spaces surrounding the townhomes.
Mr. Hickok stated that in the development to which Mr. Jawor is referring, the footprints of those
buildings impose on one another; however, the proper setbacks and green space are met outward to
adjacent properties.
Councilman Billings asked Mr. Jawor if he preferred that Council vote on the varia.nce this evening,
or if he would like to work with staff to try to come up with another plan.
Mr. Jawor stated he would like more time to determine how he wishes to proceed.
MOTION by Councilmari Billings to table Variance Request, VAR #99-OS in order to ascertain the
necessary information and to extend the review period for another sixty (60) days and to notify the
petitioner in writing of the sixty (60) day extension as soon as possible. Seconded by
Councilwoman Bolkcom. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared the motion

506.04 UNATTENDED VEHICLES:
Mr. Flara, Public Works Director, stated that this proposed change in the ordinance was to address
"snowbirds." He stated that there was a problem with plowing in the winter due to vehicles parked
in the street. He stated that this addition to the ordinance would restrict the parlcing of vehicles on
City streets from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. commencing the first day of November to and including the
first day of May of the following year. He stated that this amendment was proposed to improve the
City's snow plowing efficiency and the safety on City streets during the winter months.
Councilwoman Bolkcom asked how the residents would be notified of this change.
Mr. Flora stated that articles could be published in the newsletter.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if signs would be posted prohibiting parking.
Mr. Flora stated that was a possibility, but staff was not proposing that this be done.
Mayor Jorgenson asked if people are issued tickets if they could plead their case that the City had
not posted signs.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that argument gets very little sympathy in court, and ignorance of
the law is no excuse. He stated that the City is not under any obligation except to publish the
ordinance.
Councilman Billings stated that other cities actually have an advertising blitz where notices are
placed on windshields of vehicles around the first part of October. This places them on notice that
vehicles must be off the street beginning the first of November until the first of May of the
following year. He stated that most surrounding cities have signs at the entrances to the City
indicating that there is such an ordinance. He felt that perhaps the signs might be considered for
around the perimeter of the City.
Mayor Jorgenson stated that flyers could be sent to the apartment owners notifying them of this
ordinance so they could advise their tenants.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to waive the reading and approve the ordinance on first reading.
Seconded by Councilman Billings. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Jorgenson declared
the motion carried unanimously.

1. PUBLIC HEARING• CONSIDERATION OF REZONING REQUEST. ZOA #99-
02, BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY:
Per Section 205.09.01.A.(1) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to rezone a parcel from
R-2, Two Family, to R-3, General Multiple Units, legally described as Lot 11,
Block 1, Melody Manor, generally located at 7411 University Avenue.
MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, VICE-CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:35
P.M.
Mr. Bolin stated the City of Fridley is making the rezoning request. Staff is seeking to
rezone property located at 7411 University Avenue from R-2, Two-Family Units, to R-3,
General Multiple Units. The request is being made to correct an error on the zoning
maps, to comply with the settlement of a previous lawsuit, and to allow multi-family
development including owner-occupied townhomes,
3.01
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1999 PAGE 2
Mr. Bolin stated the R-2 zoning allows two-family dwellings, single family dwellings, and
single family attached as long as there is a minimum lot area of 5 acres. By changing
the zoning to R-3, those uses, as well as the multiple dwelling complexes, would also be
allowed.
Mr. Bolin stated the parcel is currently vacant and has been vacant since it was platted.
There is a 12-unit apartment building located to the north of this site and another 12-unit
apartment building to the south. To thE east is R-1, Single Family zoning, and Grace
Lutheran Church. To the west is Highway 47/University Avenue.
Mr. Bolin stated the property was platted in 1963. At that time, Mr. Ed Chies obtained
building permits to construct an 8-unit apartment on the lot but did not build it. The
property at that time was zoned R-2 which at that time allowed multiple family units. In
1964, the City changed the R-Z zoning to allow only duplexes and single family homes.
In 1970, Mr. Chies tried to obtain his original building permit that had expired and
subsequently took the City to court. The settlement reached at that time allowed the R-
3 standards to apply to this prope►ty. In 1986, the zoning maps were redrawn to show
the property as R-3, but the parcel was never officially rezoned. In 1988, the City
Attorney send a memo stating the parcel should be rezoned to R-3; however, to date,
the rezoning has not been processed. In 1994, there was a proposal for a 7-unit
condominium project, which was later withdrawn. In 1999, the City received a variance
and replat request for this property for a 7-unit owner-occupied townhome complex.
When reviewing the address file, current staff discovered the discrepancy in the zoning.
Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of this rezoning. It would correct the error
on the zoning map, conform with the settlement of the previous lawsuit, meet
requirements of the memo of the City Attorney, and would allow owner-occupied
townhomes on the site.
Mr. Kondrick asked if staff had received any comments from the neighbors.
Mr. Bolin stated staff had not received comments on the rezoning request. Staff has
had comments regarding the replat and the variance request.
Mr. Oquist asked for the status of the replat request and the variance request.
Mr. Bolin stated the replat request is to replat the property into 7 lots and the variance
request is to reduce the rear yard setback from 40 feet to 19 feet. The City Council
acted on the variance request first and tabled it. The City Council was not willing to
grant the variance for the rear yard setback and asked the petitioner to re-examine his
request. They suggested reducing the number of units to 6 in order to reduce the
variance. As a result, the plat request was not acted upon. These requests will be
coming before the City Council again on June 14 as well as this rezoning request.
Mr. Kuechle asked if the apartment property would remain zoned as R-2.
3.02
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1999 PAGE 3
Mr. Bolin stated, yes. Once the comprehensive plan is completed, then staff will
examine making more changes in that area. He thought they would eventually be
rezoned. He was sure there would be concems from the neighbors as far as
maintaining some kind of buffer between the R-1 and an R-3 district even though those
are R-3 uses in an R-2 district. At this time, staff feels they should wait until the
comprehensive plan is completed before proceeding.

Request, ZOA #99-02, by the City of Fridley, to rezone a parcel from R-2, Two Family,

DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UIVANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Bolin stated this item would be consid.ered by the City Council on June 14.
2. Y2K UPDATE FOR PUBLIC SAFETY:
Mr. Sallman stated he is the public safety director and the emergency management
director. Most experts do not feel Y2K is going to be a big issue. The difficulty in
planning for this is planning for something that probably isn't going to happen. He has
spoken with the utility companies, i.e. electrical, gas, telephone, etc., and they say there
is no greater risk than what currently exists.
Mr. Sallman stated the question is why the City is concerned with Y2K. It becomes an
insurance issue. The City has been working on this issue since the beginning of last
year. They replaced the police computer system, which needed replacement anyway.
The phone system will be replaced in June. The primary critical service is sewer and
wat�r. The water has a 24-hour capacity. The sewer system may be more of an issue
because the lift stations go down very quickly. They have purchased generators to
provide for that so there is no break in senrice should there be no electricity. A number
of contingency plans are in place. If anyone has questions about those plans, they can
contact staff.
Mr. Sallman stated the City has added staff for New Year's Eve. One concern for
emergency planners is people. He would suggest keeping some extra food around. He
3.03
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1999 PAGE 4
would also suggest people not take all their money out of the banks. If you need some
cash, take it out early. Information will be communicated through the City newsletter,
the City web site, cable television, senior groups, and handouts. Mr. Bill Champa at the
City is the coordinator and can also be contacted for questions.
Mr. Sallman stated someone asked a question about what would happen if the
computers mixed chemicals wrong. His response to that is they would handle it the
same way they would today.
Ms. Griep stated the hazardous chemical facility is probably better prepared than other
places because they are working on their plans continuously.

OTHER BUSINESS:
8. RESEARCH ON ZONIN� TEXT AMENDMENT
Mr. Bolin stated the memo dated 5/14/99 is for the Commission's information. The
Appeals Commission at the last three out of four meetings has dealt with requests to
reduce the front yard setbacks for additions and remodeling for homes in Fridley.
These requests have come as a result of the remodeling handbook that was published.
In order to accommodate residents in fixing up homes, staff is looking at proposing a
text amendment to reduce the setback that is currently at 35 feet.
Mr. Bolin stated Mr. Ma�tig has been doing comparisons to other cities in the
metropolitan area to try to come up with a number that would allow for many of the
plans that are shown in the handbooks to be done without variances and still meet the
City's needs. It makes sense for people to invest in their homes and for the City to
remove one barrier to enhancing their property.
Mr. Kuechle asked what action would the City like the Appeals Commission to take.
The second page of the memo states clearly that they do not meet the undue hardship
requirement. If the Appeals Commission is to take that literally, they probably will not
approve any of the requests.
Mr. Bolin stated the last three requests have been approved because they were within
previously granted variances. At least two of the three did have some concems with
relatives with physical disabilities and access to the home. There was some hardship
shown in the cases they have had so far. That may not be the case in the future. The
housing division and planning staff decided it was time to re-examine the front yard
setbacks. It did not make sense to encourage people to add on to their homes if the
code would not allow it. The plan is to reduce the front yard setback to something less
than 35 feet. The exact dimension has not yet been determined. He would anticipate it
would be approximately 27 or 28 feet.
Mr. Kuechle stated he would like some direction for the Appeals Commission. From the
information provided, it appears that the current requests should be denied. Most of the
3.05
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 2, 1999
PAGE 6
requests were within the range of 27 or 28 feet. He asked if they were going to get
more of the requests for two-car garages where a one-car garage now exists.
Mr. Bolin stated there is talk about specific language that this is for front entrances. The
past requests have been covered porches and not necessarily garages.
9. HOLIDAY STATION STORE
Mr. Oquist stated he would like to express his frustration and disappointment with the
City Council regarding the Holiday station on Highway 65. The Planning Commission
voted 5 to 1 to deny that special use permit and the City Council approved it anyway.
He thought the Planning Commission had legitimate concerns about safety, the affect
on the neighborhood, and tra�c pattems. Now that they have had an opportunity to
drive on the new intersection, he thought they had better seriously take a look at the
safety issues and the traffic situation. He almost had an accident a few days ago.
Someone pulled out of the existing gas station and didn't think they had to stop. He
came off Highway 65 to go up to Hathaway Lane. Because the other pe�son did not
want to stop, he had to slam on his brakes. He thought they were opening themselves
up for safety issues for that convenience store. The people from Moore Lake are going
to cross there and are going to be hit by cars. The way that intersection is now laid out,
unless they put up a stop light for the gas station and for those people coming off
Highway 65, there is the potential for an accident. There will also be more tra�c than
there is today because this is a convenience stare and a big gas station.
Mr. Oquist stated he understands the item is tabled and the City Council is going to go
back and review the special use permit that was issued back in 1976. He is frustrated
and disappointed because the City Council did not take into consideration the 5 to 1
vote of the Planning Commission and the concerns expressed. He plans to attend the
City Council meeting and speak as a citizen of the neighborhood. The Planning
Commission spent quite a bit of time reviewing the proposal, voted 5 to 1 to deny, and
three of the City Council members still approved the request.
Ms. Modig stated she agreed. She lives in that area and that is her main thoroughfare
in and out. She feels it is totally inappropriate to have a convenience store there
because it is going to create problems with Moore Lake, and it is going to create
problems with the additional traffic that will be coming from the Medtronic development.
She thought the potential is there for a real disaster.
Mr. Oquist stated he thought there was also an issue because the wooded property was
not zoned properly. Either they have to withdraw the car wash or rezone the property.
He thought that was tabled as well.
10. CODE ENFORCEMENT
Mr. Kuechle stated there was an interesting article in the Tuesday edition of the
Minneapolis paper on Roseville's efforts on code enforcement. The article talked ab���

SUBJECT: License for Trailer, Totino-Grace High School
Brother Milton Barker, President of Totino-Grace High School, has requested a three-year
extension of a license for a trailer on the school grounds. The trailer houses finro employees of
Independent School District 14, who under Minnesota State Law provide Guidance and
Counseling Services to students at Totino-Grace High School. Until 1999, State law required
that these employees not be present in the non-public school building. Before the law changed
to allow them in the building, Totino-Grace remodeled and moved Guidance Services to a part
of the building that does not currently have space for these finro employees.
As they work on their Master Plan, incorporating these two employees into the main building is
a goal. For the #ime being, however, they are requesting the �hree-year extension on their
trailer license.

SUBJECT: Joint Powers Agreement with Anoka County for Reconstruction of East River Road
We received a Joint Powers Agreement from Anoka County for the final portion of the East River
Road improvement project between Rickard Road and Lafayette Street within the City of Fridley.
This is a federal participating project. The estimated cost for the City's portion of the project is
$437,074.97. The federal govemment is contributing 80% of the project, leaving the City amount
at $80,939.81. In addition, the City is required to pay a percentage of the engineering costs to the

locarion of the Fridley Warehouse Liquor Store. The new location is on the corner of
University Avenue and Highway 694, in the northeast corner of the building that C�b Foods is

Some of the key features of the lease are:
1. The lease has a term of 15 years with the following cost elements:
• Lease cost 1- 5 years $6.25 sq. ft.
5— 10 years $7.19 sq. ft.
11-15 years $8.25 sq. ft
• Common Area Maintenance Charge is estimated to be approximately
$5.42 per square foot.
2. The total space involved in the lease will be 13,331 square feet.
3. The lease provides a termination clause for the City allowing us to end the lease if a grocery
retailer is no longer a tenant in the building.
Staff has reviewed the lease with the City Attorney and we aze making a recommendation that
Council make a motion to approve the lease with the landlord Lyndale Temunal Company.

SUB.TECT: ARCHITECTURAL AGREEMENT WITHK%EARCHITECTS
DATE: June 9, 1999
Attached is the agreement that I reviewed with the City Council on the evening of May 17,
1999. With the hiring of a Liquor Operations Director we are now ready to start into our
project of a third liquor store.
As I outlined previously, the project would provide for a third liquor store that would become
our "Warehouse" store. This store would be a leased facility in the old Holiday building which
now has as anchor tenants Cub Foods and Gander Mountain. We would construct a 13,331
square foot store that would involve KKE in the follows elements:
1. Structural Design
2. Mechanical Design
3. Electrical Design
The scope of our project will involve designing each of the azeas above along with the design of
the interior of the store. The overall project scopes of services will entail the following areas:
1. Schematic Design Phase
2. Design Development Phase
3. Const�uction Documents Phase
4. Bidding or Negotiafion Phase
5. Construction Phase Administration of the Constcuction Contract
The construction administration portion of the contract will provide the City with periodic site
visits by the architect to deternnine compliance with the construction contract and the completion
percentages in relation to the proper pay requests. Based on the architect's observations and
evaluations of the contractors application for payment, the architect shall certify to the City the
proper amount due to the contractor.
The compensation for the architect is based on 7.75% of the construction cos�t. At this point of
the project, it is estimated that the project cost related to the construction phase
7.01
will be approximately $650,000. The payment schedule for the architect will be based on
certain benchmarks of constcuction, payments would be made as follows:
1. Schematic Design completion 20%
2. Design Development Completion 20%
3. Construction Documents Phase 40%
4. Bidding or Negotiation Phase 5%
5. Completed Project 15%
Staff has been working with KKE on and off for a number of yeazs related to the relocation of
the new liquor store and feels very comfortable with the technical ability of the fum.
Staff is recommending Council �nake a motion to approve the contract for architectiu�al services
with the firm of KKE Architects for the construction of the City's third liquor store.

RE: Upgrade and Purchase of New :Election Equipment
DATE: June 8, 1999
Staff met with Anoka County Election Officials in May regazding the upgrade and purchase of new
voting equipment. The Capital Improvements Program had approved a$91,000 purchase for the
year 2001. However, due to the difficulties with the election equipment in November throughout
the County, including the City of Fridley, it was determined that the equipment needed to be
replaced sooner and a request was made to transfer the budgeted purchase to the year 2000.
On May 18, 1999, the Anoka County Board �f Commissioners approved the purchase of election
equipment, authorized loans to be provided to municipalities who did not have funds available in
the year 2000 to participate in a group purchase, and authorized the issuance of a letter of intent to
the vendor to purchase the equipment in 2001�. This provides Anoka County with the equipment
necessary to produce ballot layouts, program �precinct memory cards and upload results by modem
on election night.
Some of the new features of the upgraded Acc�u-Vote machine include:
1. Visible Light Technology allowing the read head to accept marks from any color instrument,
except red or yellow, no longer requiring special ballot marking pens.
2. Built-in Modem allowing election judges� to plug the unit into a phone line and activate the
modem to send results directly to Anoka C'ounty
3. New Ballot Boxes adding a rear compart�nent allowing election judges to remove the marked
ballots through the bottom of the ballot box rather than through the top.
The cost of the new Accu-Vote unit, includinK ballot box, delivery and sales tax is $5,953.35. The
cost goes down with a trade-in to $4,295.15. The total cost to the City of Fridley would be
$64,427.25. Prices are based on an order of 101-250 units being purchased by Anoka and
Washington Counties from the Minnesota State Contract #V-18(5) with Global Election Systems
dated May 3, 1999. Under the state contract, municipalities will be able to withhold 40% of the
final payment until after the equipment is successfully used in the November 7, 2000 state and
federal general election.
The existing Joint Powers Agreement from 1990 between Anoka County and its municipalities
allows the purchase the Accu-Vote ES20(10 optical scan voting equipment under the same
agreement. Municipalities must officially notify Anoka County of their intent to participate in the
loans as approved by the Anoka County Boazci by June 30,1999.
8.01
Staff recommends a motion approving the commitment of funds for the
equipment in the year 2000 and requesting the City Clerk to officially notify
intent to participate in the purchase of the new election equipment.

RE: Holiday Special Use Permit
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this hearing will be for reconsideration and ciarification of issues
related to requested Special Use Permit SP# 99-01, for a motor fuel sales and a
car wash establishment and terminate previously granted SP# 75-28 for motor
fuel sales. This property is located at 5695 Hackmann Avenue.
ISSUES
On May 10, 1999, the City Council approved a special use permit for the site at
the southeast quadrant of Highway 65 and Hackmann Avenue. That approval
meant a facility with gasoline sales and a car wash could accompany the new
convenience store proposed for this site.
On May 24, 1999, the City Council voted to reconsider Special Use Permit, SP #
99-01, due to the discovery of a zoning issue revealed through additional historic
research.
Z ni
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
southernmost 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 southernmost 125' of the
lot was left with a C-1 designation. This finding is significant because the C-2
14.01

district allows car wash facilities as a special use permit; the C-1 district does
not.
rW
As a result, Holiday has agreed to eliminate its car wash for this site. A revise
site plan showing the site without the car wash has been attached for your
convenience.
W tl n � eared to
In reviewing this applicatior�, staff visited the site and noticed what app
be possible wetland vegetation. The City's environmental consultants, Peterson
Environmental, visited the site and took soil semand Inventory mapsS s that theer
reviewing the soil, air photos, and National W
area is not a wetland; however, Peterson asked to revisit the site once the thaw
had occurred.
In addition, Holiday Companies hired Arlig Environmental to also review the site
and identify any possible wetlands. Their conclusion was similar to Peterson
Environmental, that the site most likely is not a wetland, but that additional soil
testing was to be done in late April or May when the ground was thawed and
conditions were right to make an absolute determination.
For this reason, the first, SP #99-01, stipulation recommended by staff stated
that additional soil testing will be completed by June 15, 1999. If it is determined
that non-exempt wetlands exist on the property, the special use permit shall
become null and void. No site alterations shall occur until this final determination
has been made.
Subsequent to the May 24"' City Council meeting, Peterson Environmental
determined that no wetland exists on the site.

request.

Site History
In March 1959, Pure Oil Company, Minneapolis, received a building permit to
construct a 1,344 s.f. The zoning on the property at that time was C-1S. The C-
1 S district permitted: gasoline service stations, and when accessory thereof, the
retail sale of gasoline, oil, accessories, and the washing, cleaning, g�easing and
servicing of automobiles, including mino� adjustments and repairs, but not
general �epairs, overhauling, rebuilding, demolition or spray painting.
In 1969, the Citys zoning ordinances were modified to require a C-2 zoning and
a special use permit for automobile senrice stations.
In Late 1972, Union Oil Company asked for a rezoning and special use permit in
order to bring their property in compliance with the City Code. Later iterations of
the zoning ordinance made it necessary to have both a C-2 zoning and a special
use permit for gasoline service stations. Though they were pre-existing, they did
not want a non-conforming status.
The request carried over into 1973 and the Council determined that until a
decision was made regarding the reconstruction of the intersection at Hackmann,
Central Avenue, and Highway 65, they did not want to make a final decision on
the Union Oil matter. Note: Our current 60-Day Agency Action Law would
prohibit such delay.
In December 1975, the Planning Commission held its public hearing regarding
the rezoning and special use permit request by Union Oil Company. The
Commission recommended approval to the City Council with 3 stipulations:
1. This special use permit be subject to annual review, with emphasis on
housekeeping, etc.
2. Within two years, the City would like the operation to be updated.
3. When a building permit is requested for either major remodeling of the
service station or to construct a new service station, this Special Use Permit
shall be reviewed.
The City Council approved SP # 75-28 with 3 stipulations as recommended by
the Planning Commission. That approval occurred in April 1976. In December of
1976, SP # 75-28 was reviewed. A stipulation was added regarding a screening
fence to separate the facili t y fr o m t h e r e s i d e n t i a l p r ope rties on t he east and
south sides of the develo pment. T he mo tion left the language of the stipulation to
staff's discretion.

Subject: Wetland Determination-Citgo Site
Fridley, Minnesota
PEC Project No. 94-U46, Task C
Dear Pau1:
As requested, we conducted a second review of the Citgo Site on May 27, 1999, to verify that
there are no wetlands on the property.
The follow-up visit confumed that the overstory plant community is dominated by box elder
(Acer negundo, FACVi�, A.merican elm (Ulmus ame�icana, FACV�, eastem cottonwood
(Populus deltoides, FAC+), and green ash (Fraacinus pertnsytvanica, FACV� trees. The
understory was dominated by European red elder (Sarnbucus racemosa, FACU+), glussy
buckthorn (Rhamnus frangulu, FAC+), gooseberry (Ribes sp.), a,nd common motherwort
(Leonurus cardiaca, Nl�.
A number of soil borings were exaznined throughout the site to verify the absence of hydric soils
and to evaluate the e�cistence of subsurface hydrology. One of the soil cores examined met the
criteria for NRCS hydric soil indicator F-4 (depleted below dark surface); however, the subsoil
was not saturated and there was no free water in the borehole to 26 inches after 20 minutes. The
other soil profles exhibited similar subsoil morphologies (7.SYR 4/4 matrices, with common,
distinct 7.SYR 5/2 redox depletions and 7.SYR 4/6 redox concentrations). None of the other
soils examined were hydric and none met the hydrologic parameter. Based on the lack of
hydrology and the dominance of non-hydric soils on the site it is our conclusion that the area is
non-wetland.
We appreciate the opportunity to assist you with this project. If you have any questions, please
feel free to call our o�ice.

RE: Public Hearing for ZOA #99-02 M-99-141
INTRODUCTION
City staff has initiated a rezoning of Lot 11, Block 1, Melody Manor, from a R-2
zoning district to a R-3 zoning district.
The vacant property located at 7411 Universit�r Avenue has been zoned R-2 since
the early 1960's. A court settlement in 1970 allowed R-3 standards to be applied to
the property. Since 1986 the property has been improperly labeled as R-3 on the
City Zoning maps.
Rezoning the properly to R-3 would be consistent with the court settlement and
would be necessary to allow the proposed owner occupied townhome units. This
would also allow other multi-family units built on the site, in accordance with the court
settlement, to be conforming uses.
PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION
At the June 2, 1999 Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for
ZOA 99-02. After reviewing the proposal, a motion was made to recommend
approval of the rezoning request. The motion passed unanimously.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends the public hearing for ZOA 99-02 be held.
15.01
City of Fridley Land Use Application
ZOA-99-02 � May 19, 1999

8-unit apt., but never builds.
• 1964 - City changes R-2 zoning, allowing
only 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 drawn to
show the property as R-3. (presumably to
cover the settlement)
• 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 is withdrawn.
• 1998 - Timothy Jawor proposes 7 unit

Legal Description of Property:
Lot 1 l, Block 1, Melody Manor
Council Action:
Niay 24, 1999
Public Utilities:
Located near property.
Transportation:

SUI�II�LARY OF REQUEST
Property has been zoned R-2 since the early
1960's. Court settlement in 1970 allowed R-3
standards to be applied to the property. Since
1986 property has been labeled as R-3 on the
City Zoning maps. Rezoning to R-3 would
allow the proposed owner occupied townhome
units.
SUI�IMARY OF ANALYSIS
City Sta, f�'recommends approval of this rezoning
request.
• would allow owner occupied townhome
units
• would allow multi-family units similar to
neighboring properties
• would meet terms of 1970 court settlement
• would make the existing zoning on the
property consistent with what is shown on
the City's zoning maps
Staff Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin

ANALYSIS
The vacant property located at 7411 University Avenue has been zoned R-2 since the
early 1960's. A court settlement in 1970 ailowed R-3 standards to be applied to the
property, yet still the lot remains vacant. Since 1986 property has been improperly
labeled as R-3 on the City Zoning maps.
Rezoning the property to R-3 would be consistent with the court settlement and would
be necessary to allow the proposed owner occupied townhome units. This would also
allow other multi-family units built on the site, in accordance with the court settlement, to
be conforming uses.
The proposed project by Timothy Jawor has received a variance from the appeals
commission and preliminary plat approval from the planning commission. Even if this
project were not proposed, or were to fail, the property should be rezoned to R-3 as
suggested by the City Attorney in 1988 (see attached memo).
An R-3 zoning designation on this property would be consistent with the surrounding
area, as the properties to the immediate No�th and South both contain 12 unit
apartment buildings. Grace Lutheran Church owns the property immediately to the
East and HWY 65 borders the property on the West. There �are other apartment
buildings and duplexes in the immediate vicinity.
�
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 Classification
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 this rezoning application for the 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
�
15.03
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 & 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 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 & Plat request from Timothy Jawor. Rezoning request from City.
While researching the current proposal from Mr. Jawor, current City staff became
aware of the mistake on the zoning map and the 1988 memo from the City attorney.
Though no action was taken in the past on the rezoning of this property, current City
staff is working to correct all mistakes and inconsistencies on the current zoning map.
RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request..
In order to correct the error on the zoning map, conform with the settlement of a past
law suit, and allow owner occupied townhomes, staff recommends approval of this
request.

You requested that I give an opinion as to vhether the 1970
court ruling on the above propezty� statiag that the applicable

vhether rezoniag ia aecessary�
I contacted the Aaoka County Clerk of Court vho exasined the file
�of Ed Cbiea v. T}ie Cit�► of Pridley. On June 24� 1970, the parties
to the suit stipulated that a multi-family dvelling could be
�built and buildin permits for the same vere to be iasued to Chies,
-hi assigns and successors It is
_� �y understandiag that Chies a,ad
e c •u sequent am aa represented to the neat buyer that the
applicable zoning for the property allwed multi-faa�ily dvellings.
It is my opinion that the right'to build a nulti-family ds,relling on
ehis propeity belongs to subsequent ovners based upon th� atipulation
agreed to in 1970.
A�ever� the best approach vould probably be to rezoae the property
8O that o[her landovners aad developers cannot question the zoning
decision. If rezoning entails a great deal of the City's time or >
moneq, or if there is knwn opposition to the reaoning, it vould be
viae to get an opiaion from the City Attoraey before proceeding.
If I can be of further assistance on this iseue, let me know.

T0: JIM ROBINSON, CITY OF FRIDLEY
FROM: GREGG V. HERRICK
DATE: MARCH 29, 1988
RE: REZONING OF LOT 11, BLOCK 1, MELODY MANOR
As I understand the situation, the City poses the following
question: Should a variance be granted to allow an apartment
complex to be developed on the above described premises, currently
zoned R2, or should the City rezone the area to conform with
the use to which the property is currently being put.
On June 24, 1970 the City entered into an agreement with Mr.
Chies in which the City of Fridley agreed to issue building
permits to construct an eight unit apartment building upon the
property in consideration of the withdrawal of the lawsuit.
It is my understanding that the current owners of the property
wish to construct an apartment complex which, while it meets
R3 zoning requirements, because of its underground parking,
exceeds its eight unit apartment agreement signed by Mr. Chies
on June 24, 1970.
Because the area in question is predominantly occupied by
apartment complexes, the R3 rezoning should be carried out
regardless of how many units are finally approved. It is our
opinion that the agreement providing for the construction of
an eight unit apartment complex can be enforced against the
new owners. It is our understanding of the situation, however,
that the City has informed the current owners of the property
that the larger apartment complex will be allowed on this site.
Assuming the zoning requirements have been met, there would
be no legal problem in granting a building permit on the current
proposed_apartment complex. As far as the question as to who
is responsible for initiating and paying for the rezoning
procedure is a point which should be negotiated between the
current owners and the City Council.

Planning Division Memorandum
Date: 6/7/99 �
To: William Bums, City Manager ��
From:Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director
Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator
Paul Bolin, Planning Assistant
RE: Continued action on VAR #99-05 M-99-143
INTR�ODUCTION
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 complex at 7411 University Avenue.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION / FOLLOW UP
At the City Council meeting of May 24, 1999, the City Council with held action on the
variance request to give the petitioner an opportunity to re-evaluate the magnitude of
his variance request. The petitioner indicated to staff, in a meeting on June 2, that
he had evaluated other options for his property but would like to proceed with his
original site plan and variance request.
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 reduce
the building to 6 units (20'8" wide) to meet all the zoning code requirements. The
following is a summary of reasons why City Staff recommends denial of both the
variance request 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 order
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 pr�r�erty.
Zoning Classification
Though this property has been incoRectly 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.
Historical Timeline of Zoning History & Action
• 1961 - Melody Manor was platted.
• 1963 - Ed Chies obtains building permit for 8-unit apt., but never builds.
.16�03
• 1964 - City changes R-2 zoning, allowing only sing(e family homes � duplexes.
• 1970 - Ed Chies sues City to obtain his originai building pennit. Settlement reached
allowing R 3 standards to be applied to property.
• 1986 - Zoning maps accidentaliy show the property as R-3.
• 1988 - City attorney memo stated that property shouid 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.
VARIANGE HARDSHIP
Befo�e the Commission shall grant a variance, it is the responsibility of the applicant to
prove that enforcement of the code would cause undue hardshin 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 neighbofiood.
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 petitioners request, staff applied the law defined
definition of hardship and developed the following analysis:
� The properfy 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 between Ed
Chies and the City. The petitioner believed that the City would allow up to 12 units to a
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, �
16.04
etc.. This lawsuit was not about the size of the units, or the specfic number of units
that could be built. The purpose of this lawsuit was to allow Ed Chies to build more
than just a duplex on the property that had been re-zoned since he purchased it.
� The need for the variance is due to the conditions unique to the property and
not created 6y actions of the /andowner.
• There are no conditions unique to the property, which prevent reasonable
development from occurring on this parcel. The property is large enough (22,128
square feet) to be built on as an R-2 or an R-3 lot.
• The lot, like nearfy all City lots, is a rectangular parcel. The lot is approximately 110'
X 201' in size. The fact that the petitioner would prefer an even "more rectangula�'
parcel for his townhome development is not a hardship.
• The "need" for this variance is created by actions of the landowner. The petitioner
desires to develop the 7"' unit, though staff has pointed out that he could proceed on
the p�oject by building only 6 units. Building only 6 units would give the petitioner the
code required rear yard setback of 40'. The petitioners desire to build a 7"' unit is not a
hardship.
� The variance, if granted, will noi a/ter the character of the neighborhood.
• The code requires the rear yard setback to provide space to be used for green
areas and buffers between structures which enhance neighborhoods. The variance, if
granted, would reduce this required space from 40' to 19.2'.
• Neighboring multi-family units, to the North and South, are set back 72' from the rear
property lines.
• The setbacks also provide access for emergencies and limit the condition of
crowding in the neighborhood.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends denial of this variance request
Contrary to the petitioners statement in his hardship letter about there being "a number
of precedents for�allowing a variance for rear setbacks in cases simila�', staff has not
identified a single variance comparable to this request. Staff searched all variance
requests and actions for the past 15 years and found none that were comparable to this
request.
The petitioners request does not meet the statutory definitions of hardship required for
granting a variance. Lacking a legally defined hardship, such as unusual topography or
lot shape, staff must recommend denial.
As staff has indicated, it is quite possibfe and reasonable to develop this site without
any variances. With the current proposal, the petitioner would only need to redu� tt�e
building for 6 units to meet all the zoning code requirements.
16.05
STIPU ATI[)NS
If the Commission we�e to grant this variance request, staff recommends that the
following stipulations be attached.
1. Fence be extended along the entire East side of the property.
2. All e%ments of the building must meet the current building code and be approved by
the City Building O�cial. � •
3. Concrete curbing placed around parking lot and parfdng isiands.
4. All parking spaces must be setback 20' from the iront yard properfy line.
5. Proposed screening berm on West side of property must meet zoning code
requi�ements for height.
6. P�ope� elevations, showing a/I 7 units, must be provided to the City, to ensure that
tfre elevations a�e architecturally symmetrical.
7. City will approve alI exterio� materia/s.
8. The use of brick, amount to be approved by City Staff, shall be required to ensure
that the building have similar character to nearby buildings.
9. Final landscape plan wi!l meet code �equirements and must be approved by City
Staff.
10. Proposed walkway to 6e concrete.

2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST VAR #99-
05 BY TiMOTHY JAWOR:
Per Section 205.09.03.D.(3) of the Fridiey City Code, to reduce the required rear
yard setback from 40 feet to 19.2 feet to ailow the construction of a seven-unit
to�vnhome structure on Lot 11, Block 1, Melody titanor, genera(ly located at 7411
University Avenue.
MOTiON by titr. Jones, seconded by Ms. Mau, to waive the r2ading of the pubiic
hearing notice and to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL `✓OTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLAR�D
THE MOT10N CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:45 P.M.
Ntr. 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 p�operty 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 bui(t. In 1964, the City
changed the zoning so that only dup(exes 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
16.09
APPEALS COMMISSION MINUTES, APRtL 28, 1999 PAGE S
drawn to show the property as R-3. Presumabty this was done to cover the settlement.
�n 1988, ther= �,vas a memo in the address fi(e from the City Attomey stating that the
propert� s��ou(d 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 rentat condominium project on this site. All
seven of these units fit on the site and would not have needed a variance. That project
was eventualiy withdrawn. I�lost recently, the City has had a variance and replat
request from the petitioner.
P�ir• Bolin stated the petitioner indicates in the hardship statement that a more
ractangular lot of similar square footage would have been desirabie for a townhouse
project like this. Howeve�, the petitioner feels they have adapted and designed an
attractive buifding that will nicely fit this apartment-type lot, and at the same time wiil
meet the needs and desires of �oth the City and the housing market.
titr. Bolin showed photos of the p�operty as it exists today. The site pian shows the
seven units. The variance is at the rear lot line. The lower level for the units would
have two-car garages. The owne�s cou(d 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.
h1r. Bolin reviewed the elevations for the site.
�41r. Bolin stated the law defines an undue hardship as
1) The property cannot be p�t to reasonable use if used under the requirements nf 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, wilt not a(ter 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 tt�e
statutory definition of a hardship, and it is possibte 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 bui(ding code and be approved
by the City Buitding Official.
3. Concrete curbing be placed around parking lot and parking islands.
4• All parlcing spaces must be setback 20 feet from the front yard property line.
5. Proposed screening berm on west side of property must meet zaning code �
requirements for height. . �

won't need a dumpster. Each unit wili have a gar�age can with a one-day pick-up each
week.
ti1r. Jawor stated they have built townhouses before. Tne ideal plan is 24 feet wide. Ar�
18-foot wide unit will not work. 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 actualiy 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 couid 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 townhouse 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 ihose with fuQ 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 buiiding that will be landscaped. There will be plantings and
shn�bbery, 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 5as 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 buildab(e soils and do soil corrections. By granting the
variance, itl�t is about 1/3 of the soil corrections that they will have to do. This also
means less trucks hauling, less tra�c, etc.
h�1r. Jawor stated the drainage problem has been addressed. There is a low spot in the
back that is actua(ly 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 wi(I 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 fhought they would improve the character of the
neighborhood. This has parking lots on three sides of the back ha(f 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. Anofher hardship is the configuration of the lot. These
lots, when platted 35 years ago, were designed for the apartinent 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 Iot wou(d have ,
been desirable. This building is longer and narrower than many apartments. \.

Mr. tilil(er stated he would like to acidress the definitivn that the property cannot be put
to reasonable use. �Vhen the seven-unit building was approved and which met the
setbacks, that �,vas a building that had 18-foot wide units, one-car garages, and did not
me�t the demands of the market. Their proposai with seven units, 21-feet wide, twacar
garages, and actually ailows for 2.7 cars per unit with the off-street parking. This
becomes a much nicer project.
��ts. Beaulieu asked, if the Ciry says no, will the petitioner e(iminate one unit or would
the project then not be economically feasible?
Mr. Jawor stat=d 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 addrzsses 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% reduction in the number units. Those costs have to be spread out over six
units that will end up with a 53,000 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
tney 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.
ti1r. Kirkham stated he reprzsents 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 apartments 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 peopfe who have sent their chi(dren 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 fe�i
their problems would be compounded. They are also concerned about garbage
collection, but this has been addressed.

titr. Kirkham stated they are concemed about a fence. They wouid like it to be a privacy
fence. He understands that the City is proposing that there be a six-foot fence that wi(I
be the length of the east p�operty line. He did not know that they couid gamer a
guarantee that the fence would be maintained by present or future owners in perpetuity.
1�1r. Kirkham stated they are wondering about paricing lot restrictions. Would there be
parking in the garages only or woutd there be an overflow of parking that may affect
them. Wi(I they be seeing a number of cars and/or boats in the parking lot? The
parking area does not seem that big.
ti1r. Kirkham stated these are the concerns that the church has. The biggest concem is
probably the trespassing issue and also pets. A number of people choose to walk their
dogs on their prope�ty and don't bothe� to pick up after them. They have school
child�en 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.
l�Ar. Kirkham stated pa�t 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 asked that question in case the church has any future expansion
plans. If the variance request is approved, they are within 19 feet of that property line.
V�lould that restrict this property o�vner from expanding west? There must be a�ertain
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 two open areas, it is kind of odd
Ms. Mau stated another concern is restrictions for parking cars in the lot and boats.
They are proposing two-car garages that wou(d eliminate some of the problem. She
be(ieved the issue of boats would be treated the same as any other resident under the
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
necessari(y be attributed to the people from those properties. He thought there would
16.14
- _ ;�
�.
APPEALS COb1l�iISS10N MINUTES. APRIL 28. 1999 PAGE 10
be a problem whether anything is there or not. The issue of drainage has been stated
as being resoived, but it is not cfear to him just how this has been reso(ved. In ail
fairness to them, it seems that everyone has been benefiting from that property being
vacant by using that as their drainage.
ti1r. Jones asked if there are parks in that area or places for kids to go.
Dr. Vos stated there is a park on 73rd but that is about one mile away.
��tr. titiller 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 wilt guests parlc?
Mr. Jawor stated guests could parlc by the garage. There are spaces on each end in
order to walk to the front entrance. For parking, there is a twacar garage, space for two
cars in front of the garage, and five extra spaces.
tits. 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 fenc:e, six feet ta(I, which rUns across the back of the
property. The fence is not a concem. Maintenance of the fence will be part of the
townhome association byla��vs. 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 fa�ther 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 occuRed 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 (ook at. That would solve the problems as far as space. He did
not know if townhome situations allowed for paricing 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 i�

Mr. Schreiner stated it is obvious that the lot is too smali for what they are planning. He
understands this invoives a change from R-2 to R•3. He wouid recommend the zoning
remain R-2. He is concemed about traffic. Which way wiil the cars be leaving the area
and where they will be going? On Symphony Street, they have a prob(em with traffic.
The area F�as only a few exits. What are the square footage of the units?. (f they are
too small, peopfe tend to store their be(ongings in the garage and park outside anyway.
Mr. Jawor statzd 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. Tra�c comes out on the service road. The site has one driveway.
Dr. Vos stated the exits for the_apa�tment 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 tF►e price will be approximately �110,000 to �120,000.
Ntr. Hansen stated he is the o�vner of the apartment building to the north of the site. It is
inevitable that something 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 ha� a lar�e parking lo#. 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. (f 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 liabi(ity 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 putled 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 DeparEment has approved the storm ponding
calculations and the drainage plan. One requirement is that, when doing storm water �_
calculations for drainage ponds, you have to talce into account the surrounding
16.16

properties as well. With that in mind, the Engineering staff has approved the drainage
calculations and the drainage plans that were submitted.

approved by the Engineering Department.

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 woulrt be something that would help the City size-wise as
well as the design. He was impressed that the property owne� to the east came and
discussed the concerns and the property owner to the no�th came and expressed
support. With the major property owners in favor, he could vote for approval with the
stipulations.
N1s. 6eaulieu agreed. If there is extra expense involved with this property because it
has been vacant and used for dumping so there are extra soi( 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 expense with the extra
unit. She changed her mind when she heard all the different situations. She would vote
in favor of the request.
Ms. I�tau 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
concems 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 e�ctra 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 (ot. 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 wou(d feel comfortab(e with changing tfiat 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 ��
16.17

are both comfortable with. He befieved that the petitioner is willing to work with staff
and understands the concem that ti�ey are not boxed in with an entire(y brick buitding.
He would recommend approval.
Dr. Vos asked how staff sees stipulation 7 and stipulation 8 as different.
titr. 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 part of the buiiding. The other
stipulation refers to other materials that are used other than brick.
Dr. Vos asked if they needed stipulation 6.
titr. Bolin stated when the packet was put together, staff did not have any efevations.
The elevations have now been submitted.
Mr. Kuechle stated that if the petitioner is comfortabie with it, he has no objection to
leaving it in.
Ms. tilau 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 there.
Ms. Beaulieu stated this property is the one that is reque�ting the variance.

RE: Continued action on P.S. #99-02 M-99-144
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. This item was not acted upon due to the fact that it
is contingent upon approval of the variance request.
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 RECOMMENDATION
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 (20'8")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:
17.01
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 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 yarti
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 ptat 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.

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 repiat is
necessary because the units will be individually owned. The proposal inciudes 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 Aprii 28`" meeting, the Appeals Commission voted to recommend approvai 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 Classification
Though this property has been incorrectly displayed on the City's zoning maps-since
1986, this prop�rty 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 aliow 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 tonger 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 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 reached
allowing R-3 standards to be applied to property. � �
17.04
• 1986 - Zoning maps accidentaliy show the property as R-3.
• 1988 - City attomey memo stated that property should be rezoned to R-3, however,
this action has never been processed.
• 1994 - Proposal for 7 unit rentai condominium project, which met ali code
requirements, is withdrawn.
• 1999 - Variance 8� 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 this plat request as presented.
As staff has indicated, it is quite possible and reasonable to develop this site with�out
any variances. With the cuRent 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 contribute to the
condition of crowding in the neighborhood.
�TIPULATIONS
If the Planning Commission were to grant this Plat request, staff recommends that the
following stipulations be attached.
9. Fence be extended along the enfire East side of the property.
2. All elemenfs of the building must meet fhe currenf building code and be approved by
the City Building Official.
3. Concrete curbing placed around parking lot and parking islands.
17.05
4. AlI parking spaces must be setback 20' from the front yard property line.
5. Proposed screening berm on West side of property must meet zoning code
requirements for height.
6. Prope� elevations, showing all 7 units, must be provided to the City, to ensure that
the e%vations are architecturally symmetrical.
7. City wil! approve all exferior materials.
8. The use of brick, amount to be approved by City Staff, shall be required to ensure
that the building have similar characte� to nea�by buildings.
9. Final landscape plan will meet code requirements and must be approved by City
Staff.
10. Proposed walkway to be concrete.
11. Plaf approval is conditional upon City Council approval of the variance & rezoning
requests. _
12. A 12' utilify and drainage easement to be granted along entire eastem edge of
property.
13. A 10' utilify and drainage easement to be granted along enti�e southem edge of
properfy.
14. Storm pond maintenance agreement to be filed with the City p�or to issuance of a
building permit.
15. Comply with al/ state regulations regarding townhome associations.
16. Park dedication i`ee of $750 / unit to be paid prior to issuance of a building permit.

Planning Commission and Ciry CounciY
City of Fridley
April 5. 1999
Dear Commissioners and Co�mcil Members,
As you know, this lot has a history of zoning problems. tt was originally configured and platted to
contain a multi-unit apartment building such as the t 1 and 1? 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
[he Ciry. The settlement, as [ understand it, was that the City wou(d allow up to l2 uniu to be built on this
lot. After [ purchased this tot [ spoke with Scott Hickok of the Fridtey planning deparnnrnt to discuss
options for the development of this loE. Mr. Hickok talked about the past problems with this tot and
indicaced 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 Ciry
had a real need for moderate priced, single family, owner occupied townhouse �mits. He gave me a copy of
a site plan that had been submitted and, [ betieve, approved by the Ciry a few years ago. The site plan he
gave me had 7 townhouse uniu, the same number as our proposal, but each unit was only l8' wide. Our
usuat unit is 24' wide and includes a 2-car garage for each unit. ,Ltr. Hickok liked the idea of a 2-car garage
for each unit, especially since the neighboring apartrnent buildings have no garage space and all parking is
outdoors. He felt these 2-car garages wauld make foc a neater, more attractive development.
We went to work and tried to combine the best elemenu of the 18' ptan with our 2�' p�an. We
oried to produce a 2-3 bedroom, 2 bath, attractive and marketable townhouse unit that included a 2-car
garage. We fu�aity rame up with the plan we are now proposing. Because these units are to be marlceted as
single-family tQ�vnhouse and not as apartments or apartment-rype condominivxns, the units cannot be
stacked on top of each other. Also, because the lot was originally configured to have back-to-back and
stacked �mit apartment buildings with outdoor parking and no �arrages, we had to use a great deal of lot
square footage to design a driveway which would feed each garage and provide outdoor guest parking (2.�
outdoor spaces/unit). While we are considerably below the densiry allowed for this lot and actually
contained on the two neighboring (ou, our resulting townhouse footprint does encroach on the rear setback
(the side toward the church).
The ci ordinance r uires 25%of the lot depth for the rear setback with a 25' minim�an and 40'
ty �9
maximum. Our proposal is for a?�r�e�ar setback. Since there is an apartrnent building parking lot on eitha
side of the rear setback area and a large church parking lot behind this area, we feel the neighborhood
impact will be minimal. I believe there are also a numbec of precedents for altowing a variance for rear
setbacks in c�ses 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 are not back-to-back apartment-type units. These BTeater
side setbacks make for very attractive landscaped elevations.
A more rectangular lot of similar 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 considerati� of this proje�t:

Mr. Tim Jawor
9175 107�' St. N
Stillwater, MN 55082
Dear Mr. Jawor:
Per Minnesota Statute 15.99, local govemment units are required to notify land use
applicants within 10 days if their land use applications are complete. We received
appfications for a variance and subdivision request on April 2, 1999. This letter serves
to info�m 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 the 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 mus�
be designated on the plans.
• A landscape plan shall be submitted prior to the issuance of a building permit. ��� �
planting schedule shown on your plans do not meet the code requirements for
17.08
landscaping. A fuli 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 po�tion 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. You� 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.
Yo�ir 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

Fridley, MN 55432
Deaz Ms. Skogen:
Cash-N,Pawa (CNP) has operated a pawnshop in Fridley at 5807 University Ave. N'.L.,
for almost five years. Our five-year lease at this site is expiring a,nd the lessor, Holida.y
3tations, has entered into an agreemem to sell this building to the City of Fridley or an
agency ther�of which has plans th$t don't allow for us to stay there. We have until
October 3 l, I 999 to vacate the current premises.
CNl° has �acecuted a ten yeaz lease �reement with Linn properiy Holdings, LLC for the
lease of 5,000 square feet in a building to be consiructed at 57`� Avenue N.E. and Main
Street N.E,, immediately west of th� Goodyear Service Center. The terms of the lease
agree;ment providc for the construction to be completed on or about October 1, 1999 so
that we will be able to finish the interior and be moved and open at th,e new site by
November 1, 1999.
W'e have previousIy discussed these plans with you and with the Caty Pianning
Depar�ment which informed us that we qualified under the zoning requiremeuts for the
proposed site. We now formally ret�uest that we receive documented permission to move
forward and start the process of obt�ining the necessary licensi.ng approvals to effectuate
this move of our existing busiuess, �evhether this reqtures a new license or merely a
tiansfer of our existing license. The Linn Companies, the developer o£the proposed site,
needs some assurance to facilitate the const�uction.
CNP has a five-year operating record of cooperation with the City and has operated in
full compliance vvith all rules and regulations. I believe that the Police Department has
found us to be fu11y cooperative and obedient to all the rules aIId regulations applicable to
pawn shops. We intend to continue to be good business citize,ns in the communit�,. Vye
look fon�vard to the signi.ficant upgrade in the appearance of our store that will be feasi�l�
at the new site but was not under the short-term nature of the old store site.�

CNP is a Minnesota corporaztion with apgroximately 150 investors most of whom are
Twin Cities residents. CNP operated ten stores in three states and!had gross revenues of
almost $9,000,000 in calendar year 1998. CNI' is in the process of preparing to open its
sixih stare in the T�vin Cities, which will be located in South Minneapolis.
Please note that we will not be dealing in firearms in any maaner and that we have had a
very small percemage of stolen property (less than one half of one percent of total items)
swrface at our store. All items are reported to the Police department in detail on a curretrt
basis and that coupled with identificarion requirements is a substantial detesrent to an3'
stolen goods coming into the store.
Please feel &ee tq call me with aay questions that you may have. Thank you for your
consideratioa �
