PRESENTATION: Dr. Don Helmstetter, Superintendent of Spring Lake Park Independent School District 16, stated that almost 1,000 students from the City of Fridley attend ISD #16. Spring Lake Park has about 27 percent and Blaine has about 51 percent. Mr. Helmstetter stated that on November 2, 1999, the ISD #16, is having a levy for learning on the ballot. One goal of the levy was to lower class sizes for students. ISD #16 has the largest FR(DLEY_CITY COUNCIL MEET[1YG OF OCTOBER 11. 1999 PAGE 3 class size in the metropolitan area. The two budget questions proposed are: 1) Provide funding for more teachers and classrooms and support stafE, and 2) Provide funding for technology staff budgets for each school. Mr. Helmstetter said that ISD #16 is almost last for metro-approved funding. Over the last eight years there has been an accumulated budget reduction of $6.3 million. Due to legislative action school taxes were going down. The levy, as of right now, was less than last year. The ballot question would generate $100 per student. It would add 25 teachers. This would lower class size. Mr. Helmstetter stated that strong schools do create a strong community. Providing additional opportunities for kids, such as offering different languages in grade school, would help students be competitive with other students. This would be a ten-year levy. The $1.6 million would be generated each of the ten years. The revenue would not come until the next fiscal year. Lowering class sizes, security, and safety issues are priorities to be addressed immediately. Technology and support staff was also very important. Mr. Helmstetter stated that the levy hotline for more information is (612) 785-5568. Mr. Helmstetter thanked the City Council for their time. Mayor Jorgenson thanked him for coming to address these very important issues. APPROVAL OF CONSENT AGENDA: NEW BUSINESS: 1.

The remainder is divided by the total tax capacity for Fridley. If our year 2000 tax capacity rate happens to exceed this theoretical tax capacity rate, we must reduce our budget levy. In order to prevent this from happening, Council is authorized to pass a resolution that allows the City to use a tax capacity rate that maybe higher than the theoretical rate. Staff proposed to do that this evening. The budget levy would remain as approved by Council on August 23 and would be the same as the budget levy for 1999. The resolution would, however, provide that the budget levy would not be changed as a result of unforeseen changes in HACA or fiscal disparities distributions. Had the City had the required information to calculate the theoretical tax capacity rate in August, Mr. Burns would have presented the resolution at the time the budget levy was presented. Staff recommended Council's approval. ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 80-1999. 10. RESOLUTION NO. 81-1999 DESIGNATING TIME AND NUMBER OF COUNCIL MEETINGS FOR 2000: Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that staff submitted the attached calendar after informal Council meetings on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. Conference meetings are scheduled for January, February, April, May, August, October and November. Budget work sessions have been scheduled for June 19 and 20. Staff recommended Council's approval. ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 81-1999. ll. APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE NORTHSTAR CORRIDOR JOINT POWERS AGREEMENT: Mr. Burns, City Manager, explained that the amendments expand the purposes of the North Star Development Authority from feasibility analysis to planning and construction. They also add Morrison County as a member and identify Ramsey County as eligible for "Coordinating Membership." Staff recommended Council's approval.

Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. OPEN FORUM. VISITORS: Mayor Jorgenson invited members of the public to come forward to address items not on the agenda. Ms. Shelly Tischbrek, 7503 Able Street, stated that there was dangerously excessive speeding in her neighborhood. She said it happens mostly when school is adjourned. She was very concerned because there are many little children walking home from school at that time. She felt some action needed to be taken to improve the situation as soon as possible. She will not allow her kindergartner-age daughter to walk home from school just because of this problem. Mayor Jorgenson stated that excessive speeding was a huge concern in Fridley. She said the City would document that her neighborhood has a problem. Mayor Jorgenson encouraged Ms. Tischbrek to contact her neighborhood police officer. Ms. Tischbrek addressed the issue of the uncleanness of having many small garbage cans. She asked if one bigger and taller garbage can would be more appropriate. Mayor Jorgenson stated that the current ordinance calls for 32 gallon garbage cans as the maximum size. Council has looked at this issue many times and decided that the 32 gallon cans were more user friendly for the elderly and the disabled. This ordinance would have to be examined again in the future. Council is monitoring the situation. Mr. Frank D'Aigle, 14252 - 55`'' Street, stated that he owns the property at 650 Dover. He has owned the property for approximately fifteen years and has tried to receive variances from the City to accommodate the home buyers and also the City. He stated that he was very surprised when Council refused to grant a variance for a young couple to build a home on 650 Dover. The FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEET[NG OF OCTOBER 1 l 1999 PAGE 9 (ots need minor variances to accommodate a single-family home. Mr. D'Aigle stated that he was wi(ling to work with Council and staff to acquire the variances. Mr. D'Aigle stated that regarding the weed problem in the lots at 650 Dover, he assumed some type of weed control would work so the grass would not need to be cut every week. Mayor Jorgenson stated that the weed problem would be addressed in Item Number 16. Mr. D'Aigle stated that he was in objection to the weed control problem. It was his hope that when he proposes to build on the lot that Council would work with the Planning Commission because he would comply and work with the City in any possible way he could. Mayor Jorgenson stated that the lots were beneath the minimum standards. Mr. D'Aigle stated that when he bought the lot, it was a minimum standazd. When the neighbors' garage burned down, the neighbor should have had a variance to rebuild it. The new garage was built right on the lot line. Mayor Jorgenson stated that the Community Development Department would look into it. Mayor Jorgenson asked if any other members in the audience wanted to address any issues for the open forum. No persons in the audience spoke. PUBLIC HEARING: 15. TO MODIFY THE REDEVELOPMENT PLAN AND TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLANS TO REFLECT ENLARGEMENT OF REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT NUMBER ONE AND INCREASED PROJECT COSTS TO BE UNDERTAKEN THEREIN: MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 8:25 P.M. Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that Council would look at three major issues as follows: 1) Enlarging the redevelopment project area; 2) Modifying the tax increment financing (TIF) budgets within the redevelopment plan; and 3) Examine a specific change in the Lake Point District with an extension and duration of the district to the year 2025, for the Nledtronic development. The purpose of enlarging the project area was to plan for the future. The Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) would have the flexibility to create additional tax increment FRIDLEY CiTY COUNC[L MEET[NG OF OCTOBER 1 l, 1999 PAGE 10 financing districts and implement rehabilitation or housing replacement programs or acquire properties for redevelopment projects. The second purpose of modifying the tax increment financing budgets was to clarify the budgets included in the redevelopment plan. The Medtronic project, for example, has increased eligible expenses. There was a language change in the Lake Pointe tax-increment district which extends the duration of the tax increment district to the year 2025. The Planning Commission was required by state law to pass a resolution to establish that the expanded project areas were consistent with the comprehensive plan. The HRA will take action on their resolution on Thursday, October 14, 1999. Staff's recommendation to Council this evening was to conduct a public hearing. Then, the resolution authorizing the modification would be on the agenda sometime in November. Mayor Jorgenson asked who would incur the expenses associated with the TIF changes Ms. Dacy just addressed. Ms. Dacy stated that Medtronic will be reimbursed for their documented eligible expenses according to the development agreement from the HRA, not the City's budget.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 8:33 P.M. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that there were four properties associated with the assessment. The City used its own resources for clean-up of some properties. The assessment total cost was $4,820.62. The properties are as follows: 195 79`h Way 15 63'd Way 532 Janesville Street 6755 East River Road Councilmember Wolfe asked how the $4,820.62 was arrived upon. FRIDLEY C[TY COUNCtL MF,FT[NG OF O TOBFR 11 1999 PAGE 11 Mr. Pribyl stated that the amount was the total cost the City has spent. The properties had certain code violations.

Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that the service connection assessment pertains to the property owner hooking up to water and sanitary sewer during the year. In this particular case there was only one property in which the assessment was for $12,730.54, a commercial property. No appeal may be taken as to the amount of an assessment unless a signed, written objection is filed with the clerk prior to the hearing or presented to the presiding officer at the hearing.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR J ORGENSON DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:39 P.M. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this was the annual assessment that the City has actually spent resources for the properties that were in violation of the City Code regarding weed overgrowth. If the certification resolution passes later on, the owners would have thirty days to pay without interest accrual. There are fourteen properties that would be assessed, with the total amount being $9,196.24. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to received a letter from Maynard Nielsen. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. FRIDLEY CITY COUNC[L MEET[NG OE OCTOBER l l 1999 PAGE 12 UPON A VO[CE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR J ORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmcmber Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok what the process was for the weed abatement process. Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that the City identifies properties that have lawn growth in excess of ten inches. Chapter 105 of the City Code states that yards that have growth in excess of ten inches are public nuisances and need to be cut by the property owner or by the City. The City attempts to contact the property owners prior to the yard reaching ten inches with a warning and notice of the City Code. A letter is then sent stating that the City will take care of the weeds. Those properties are put on a schedule for maintenance so the properties do not violate the ordinances. A property owner, at any point, can say that they will take on the responsibility themselves. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok how many days the owners have to cut the weeds after the first notification. Mr. Hickok stated that they have ten days. Properties that have repeated problems are identified on a list and then are put on a regular schedule after the owner has not mowed the weeds the first time. Councilmember Barnette asked Mr. Hickok how often a lot has to be mowed by the City if the owner fails to maintain it. Mr. Hickok stated that in a regular season, there is enough rain that properties need to be mowed every two weeks. Councilmember Barnette stated that in reference to Mr. Nielson's case, the maintenance and cost by the City seems excessive. Mayor Jorgenson stated that property owners have the choice to take care of their property but, by default, left the City to take care of the property. Councilmember Barnette stated that $4,000 is a very excessive amount charged for lawn maintenance for a two acre lot. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that some of the properties have been on the list for many years. She said that she has driven by Mr. Nielsen's property and noticed that it was very overgrown and unsightly. Councilmember Barnette asked Mr. Hickok what kind of equipment was used to mow the properties. Mr. Hickok stated that when a property has not been maintained for a certain number of years, it takes a sickle-bar mower. Once the property is manicured a standard mower can be used. FRID[,EY C[TY COUNCI MEET[NG OE' OCTOBER 11 1999 PAGE i3 Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Hickok i f the property owners are noti fied i f they are going to be put on a regular maintenance schedule. Mr. Hickok stated that their newest letter lets them know that they will be put on a schedule. Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Hickok if the property owners had any idea of the cost of being put on a regular maintenance schedule. Mr. Hickok stated that the letter is very explicit about the fact that the City has to contract to have it done. There is also a twenty-five percent (25%) administrative fee involved. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the City also has to spend a lot of time driving back to the property site to check if it has been mowed. Mr. Maynard Nielsen, property owner at 61S` Avenue and East River Road, stated that he has maintained his property himself for the last three years. This year he hired someone, but before his contractor finished the City's contractor completed the job. He stated that he felt the cost of mowing was really expensive, and the property had been cut too many times. Normally, throughout the year, the City has done it once only. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok if the City had records of how often the area has been mowed. Mr. Hickok stated that the City does has records, and the cost depends on the size of the project. Councilmember Wolfe asked Mr. Hickok if he was correct in stating that the property was mowed eleven times. Mr. Hickok stated that was correct. Councilmember Wolfe asked Mr. Nielsen if he thought that it was cut eleven times. Mr. Nielsen stated that it should not have been cut eleven times. Once a summer should be enough, but this was an exceptionally rainy summer. Mr. Paul Johnson, 2891 North Fairview, Roseville, stated that he has owned the property since 1979. He has always mowed the property once or twice per summer and has not had a problem. He received a notice from the City that an inspection would be conducted on or shortly after June 28 and to please have his property in compliance at that time. He called the City and explained he had health problems and arranged for a contractor to mow it but the City mowed the property first. When he received the bill, it was for six mowings. Next door to his property is Cheapo Records, and he felt the City mowed their lot, too, but charged Cheapo Records to Mr. Johnson's bill. If the City notified him that his property has to be mowed every two weeks, he would have mowed it to avoid the high cost. FR(DLEY CITY �OUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 1 l, 1999 PAGE 14 Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Johnson how wide his lot is and also how wide Cheapo Records is. Mr. Johnson stated that his lot was 60 feet wide, and Cheapo Records was 50 to 55 feet wide. Councilmember Billings stated that the City could check on the records of the contractor's to see if they mowed Cheapo Records lot too. The first time the lot was mowed for Mr. Johnson's property the grass was so high, the For Sale sign on the property was not visible. Mr. Johnson stated that it was his intention to mow. If the City changed their rule of how high the grass should get, he would like to know about it. Councilmember Billings stated that the lot was probably two feet tall by the time the City mowed it this last summer. Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Johnson if he notified the City that Cheapo Records lot was charged on his bill. Mr. Johnson stated that he did. Councilmember Wolfe asked Mr. Hickok how the mowings were scheduled. Mr. Hickok stated that it was scheduled on a two week notice. The City contacts the property owner after the contractor contacts the City to let them know the property has been mowed. The City is not out to mow more than they need to. It does not take long for weeds to grow. Councilmember Wolfe stated that twelve mowings for Mr. Nielsen's property seems excessive. Mr. Hickok stated that in these cases the properties have histories of these problems. Mr. Scott Meland, 5230 Red Oak Drive, Mounds View, stated that he owns the property at 5601 Fourth Street. He asked if his property was one of the properties assessed for weed abatement. Mr. Hickok stated that he did not have the histories of the properties but would say that it probably has a history of needing maintenance. Mr. Meland stated that he purchased the property in March of 1998. The letter he received about the proposed assessment on September 24 was the first notice he was aware of from the City regarding this issue. He stated that last year he did do some work on the lot but probably not up to the City's standards. He stated that he did not know what the standards were. The first time he went out to mow it this year, it looked like it had already been mowed. He stated he did not receive any notice about his property at all. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok if the City keeps copies of letters that are sent to property owners. FRIDLF,Y C[TY COU(YCIL MEETINC OF OCTOBER 11 1999 PAGE 15 Mr. Hickok stated that was correct, and he would check for the letters. Mr. Meland stated that if he did receive one letter he would have been more cautious of his property. Mayor Jorgenson stated that the contact person for Mr. Meland would be Mr. Hickok. Councilmember Billings asked if the eleven different pin numbers would indicate that the property was not mowed eleven times but represent the eleven different lots. Mr. Hickok stated that the City could provide month by month bill analysis. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if it would be beneficial not to close the public hearing until the questions raised by the property owners could be investigated further as to how many times the property was mowed and what was actually mowed on the property. Mr. Pribyl stated that the resolution could be approved at the next City Council meeting. Mr. Hickok stated that he would answer any questions the property owners have. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to continue the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR J ORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 19. CONSIDER REVOCATION OF SPECIAL USE PERMIT SP#89-14 FOR CHOPPER CITY SPORTS GENERALLY LOCATED AT 7191 HIGHWAY 65 N.E. MOTION by Councilmember Billings to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR J ORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 9:25 P.M. Mr. Hickok stated that this hearing was to consider revocation of the special use permit for Chopper City Sports. The City has an obligation to ensure all of the conditions of the special use permit are being upheld. The property at 7191 Highway 65, Chopper City Sports, which is in the business of recreational sports. In 1989, the City of Fridley approved Special Use Permit, SP #89-14, that allowed a display of up to four snowmobiles, personal watercraft, and/or all terrain vehicles on this property. This year on August 17, staff noticecl that Chopper City Sports was displaying five snowmobiles, two ATVs, and two trailers. On August 19, staff noticed that Chopper City Sports was displaying the same items on the Highway 65 right-of-way. This is a violation of the special use permit, city codes and state statutes. FRIDLEY C[TY COUNCIL MEET[NG OF OCTOBER 11. 1999 PAGE 16 Staff had cause to look in the records to see what the history was with Chopper City Sports to find that there was correspondence in 1998 regarding the same violations. Due to the repeat offenses, staff recommended that Council hold a public hearing to consider revocation. Behind the facility, there was a situation of the merchandise being stored in the rear yard exceeding the height of the fence. The stipulation in the special use permit, and the code itself states that outdoor storage needs to be properly screened from the public right-of-way. Mr. Hickok presented to Council two different photographs of the property that were taken on August 17 and August 19. The photographs show that in the foreground of the store there were a series of items in front. There were two snowmobile trailers with two snowmobiles on each of the trailers, and an ATV on the front and also an ATV closer to the building. Another photograph shows the crates are stacked to a height twice the size above the screening fence in the rear of the building. Mr. Hickak stated that it was staff's recommendation to hold a public hearing and also to make a motion to continue to hold the public hearing open for any final decisions to revoke Special Use Permit, SP #89-14, until January 24, 2000. Staff would notify the owner that all inventory stored above the height of the fence shall be removed, and all illegal outdoor display shall be discontinued by ninety days from the date of this hearing. Staff would re-inspect the site for compliance and if the property was not in conformance at that time, staff would recommend that Council revoke Special Use Permit, SP #89-14. Mr. Marv Jorgenson, owner of Chopper City Sports, 7191 Highway 65, stated that he was on vacation when the displays in the front of the building on the right-of-way occurred. He stated that they always cut the grass out there, and his employees figured they could display some items as long as they cut the grass. The employees were unaware that they were only supposed to place four items by the front of building. Mayor Jorgenson asked if he tells his employees how many items to put in the front of the building. Mr. Jorgenson stated that he normally tries to tell his employees, but there are different employees hauling things out there during the day. Normally, there was one trailer with two snowmobiles on it with an ATV in front of it. The stock in the rear yard of the facility was due to the fact that during the months of August, September and October the snowmobiles are shipped in. He receives 250 snowmobiles because that is the minimum order he can receive. It takes three months to assemble them. In the meantime he needs to store them somewhere. He checked into building a warehouse-type facility on the property for the storage of the snowmobiles, but he would need a couple of variances for the building. Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Jorgenson how he intends to take care of this situation in the future. Mr. Jor�enson stated that the front was not a problem. His employees now know they can only haul four total units there. The snowmobiles in the rear yard were moved down so they are only stacked two boxes high. FR[DLEY C[TY COUNC[L MEETIIYG OF OCTOBFR 11 1999 PAGE 17 Councilmember Wolfe stated that when Mr. Jorgenson orders snowmobiles, he has to order a certain amount, no matter what the demands are. Mr. Hickok st�ted that Chopper City Sports needs to anticipate the amount of inerchandise they receive, and it needs to be warehoused if it cannot fit on the site. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Jorgenson if the one week in August was the only time he had too many items placed in front. Mr. Jorgenson stated that was correct. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Jorgenson if they are anticipating the same problem next August, September and October. Mr. Jorgenson stated that he does not want to sell that many, but he has to take that many snowmobiles. Councilmember Billings stated that he knows there are warehouses around the vicinity such as near County Road E and Snelling Avenue. He was empathetic to Mr. Jorgenson's problem of having too many sleds, but if they were more securely stored he would not have this problem. Mr. Jorgenson stated that this year they only pre-sold fifteen snowmobiles. They have to wait until they sell to assemble them. Councilmember Billings stated that he could possibly work with his supplier to see if they could warehouse the sleds until there is room for them. Mr. Jorgenson stated that the problem is that they do not make money on the sleds. They pay people to take the sleds. They only make money on the parts and service. By November he should be down to 150 sleds which would store easier in the rear of the building. Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Jorgenson if he understood what was being proposed to keep the public hearing open. In the event that the stock exceeds the height of the fence, or there are too many items in front, the revocation process would start all over again after January 24, 2000, if the special use permit codes are violated again. Mr. Jorgenson stated that he understood. Mayor Jorgenson thanked Mr. Jorgenson for coming in. MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe, seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom, to extend the public hearing for Special Use Permit, SP #89-14, until January 24, 2000. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIlV10USLY. FRIDLEY C[TY COUtYCIL MEETtIYG OF OC'TOBER 1 l, 1999 PAGF. 18 20. REZONING REOUEST, ZOA #99-04, BY BRIAN A1YD JACOUELINE B01YA, TO REZONE THE CURRENT R-3, MULT[-FAMILY RESIDENTIAL D[STR[CT. TO C-2, GENERAL BUS[NESS D[STRICT, TO ALGOW COMMERCIAL USE OF THE S[TE FOR A PROPOSED AUTO REPAIR FACILITY, GENERALGY LOCATED AT 5333 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E.(WARD 1): MOTION by Councilmember Billings to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 9:55 P.M. Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that Brian and Jacqueline Bona are property owners at 5333 University Avenue and are seeking to rezone a portion of the property from R-3, Multi- family Residential to C-2, General Business. The Bonas also originally requested six variances in order to construct an automobile service station. The request has been reduced to one variance which will be discussed later this evening. The property is located just north of 53`� Avenue and north of the existing Amoco station which the couple leases. Mr. Hickok stated that there was an alley that traverses the property on the north end and runs down the east side of the property to 53`d Avenue. Mr. Hickok stated that the Bonas requested the rezoning of the property described as lots 24 and 30 of Hamilton's Addition of Mechanicsville. Repair garages are permitted by special use permits in the G2, General Commercial District. The proposed facility causes the parking to encroach on the R-3 properties to the north. R-3 District would allow multi-tenant residential development, the land is 25,596 square feet. Based on that land area as many as fourteen residential dwelling units could exist on this site. Undeveloped multi-family property in this community is very rare. The rezoning request, as reviewed by staff, matched with standard criteria, the proposal request must match the criteria in all three instances, if not the rezoning request fails to receive the positive staff recommendation. Compliance with district standards is required. In this case a 20 foot variance would still be needed, which would raise the question if this truly complies with performance standards being sought in the rezoning. It states that the proposal needs to meet all of the performance standards of a district. In this case it would need a variance to meet the performance standards. The analysis also reveals that the requirement for the variance clashes with that criteria. Therefore, it was staff's recommendation for Council's approval. Staff recommended to the Planning Commission that the rezoning occur with stipulations. The Planning Commission recommended approval of the rezoning with two stipulations with the stipulations changed to reflect that they felt the overhead doors facing University Avenue were not objectionable. FRIDLEY C[TY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 11 1999 PAGE 19 Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok if the parcel was part residential and part commercial, and if there are provisions in the rezoning if the lot is adjacent to commercial for parking on R-3. Mr. Hickok stated that was correct. City Code does allow by special use, parking in an R-3 district. The proposal was for a multi-bay quick lube facility that measures 35 feet by 140 feet. The property line for this building runs east and west. Everything north of that is R-3, Multi- family Residential. Staff was seeking to have developments have a consistent zoning when parking is required for this facility. This building would only be three feet from the property line of an R-3 district. Fifty feet is required. This was an almost insurmountable precedence in this condition. Councilmember Billings asked if the two parcels have two separate tax identification numbers. Mr. Hickok stated that it has two sepazate tax identification numbers. Councilmember Wolfe asked if the doors opening towards University was something staff was opposed to. Mr. Hickok stated that the site plan proposed could be modified to eliminate five of the six variances. The remaining variance was for the building itself. The petitioner asked for a variance to allow the building to sit closer to the rear lot line, closer to a residential property. This also puts the parking in front of the facility and seven overhead doors facing University Avenue. Mr. Hickok stated that much discussion with staff and the Planning Commission pertained to the emphasis put on the image for the vision process for the comprehensive plan and the image of the comdor. Overhead doors facing University Avenue is contrary to the image that is being sought to create for the corridors. If the noise is projected beyond the property line whether the building is faced east or west, it is too noisy for the property. By turning the building around gives a proper distance between the alley with a screening fence along the alley. There would be a storefront appearance along University Avenue, and it would take all of the parking out of the front yard. It also provides a great opportunity for nice landscaping. Council has to decide if this is an appropriate use for this site if noise is a problem. Is the noise any better to send across University Avenue when The Minnesota Department of Transportation tells us that the noise is at a level that can be of concern to residents. Residential is right across University Avenue. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he felt that since there is already noise coming from University Avenue having the doors facing University Avenue would not affect the noise level much. Councilmember Bolkcom asked why there could not be one door opening to the bays with a drive aisle. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEET[NG OF OCTOBF,R 11 1999 PAGE 20 Mr. Hickok stated the Planning Commissioner considered that similar to the Tires Plus facility with an internal drive aisle. If the site was a bit deeper they would hold on to that recommendation, but it would create many variance problems. Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Hickok if the building could be moved to the south to avoid the variance. Mr. Hickok stated that is was as close to the lot line as it can be. Mayor Jorgenson stated that she was having a really hard time with the impact this would have on the residential neighborhood and also with rezoning property that is R-3 to C-2, because there is so little of that kind of property left. Mr. Brian Bona, the petitioner, stated that he was brought up in the service station business. His father started an operation in Columbia Heights right across from the fire station which still exists today. Mr. Bona now runs this business. It is a six bay auto repair with six mechanics. They do not advertise, and the business is built on trust and word of mouth which spans three generations. His children are now stepping in to help out. That is what inspired him to expand into Fridley. He wanted something very similar to what he has in Columbia Heights. He felt he would be very friendly to the City of Fridley. His Amoco station was a rather beat up operation which he is slowly recovering right now with renovations. Amoco does own the building. Mr. Bona is the leasee so he has limitations to what he can do. Mr. Bona stated that he would like something reminiscent of what you would see on Grand Avenue, or downtown Stillwater, with a traditional look creating some pizzazz. He has taken the neighbors opinion into consideration with their view of not wanting the overhead doors facing them. There are no protesters to Mr. Bona's plan. The neighbors are concerned about having the parking lot facing them also. He wants to run a clean operation. He has tried to clean things up by mowing the highway grass and weed whacking every two weeks. He has scheduled litter pick-up along the highway. He tries to appeal to a good clientele of folks by playing piano music over the gas pumps to hopefully shun away the people with their boom boxes turned up full volume. He felt he was achieving the storefront appeal with his architecture and landscaping. The berming would soften that blow. Councilmember Wolfe asked if the garage doors on Mr. Bona's proposed plan are facing the residents. Mr. Bona stated that the garage doors would be facing University Avenue. Mr. Bona stated that the building design would include the old fashioned kind of a brick that you would see on the Stillwater buildings. The lintel that goes across the top would be like an off- white molding type of lintel to give more architectural appeal. The front of the storefront would be more like recessed wood you would see at Barnes and Noble bookstore painted probably in theme type of scenes. The signage would probably be black signs with gold lettering, not something that would stand out. They do not paint things on their windows. They are sensitive to the neighbors concerns at their present service station. FR[DLEY CITY COUNCIL MEET[NG OF OCTOBER 11 1999 PAGE 21 Mayor Jorgenson stated that she heard or read that there may have been some objection from one of the neighbors. Mr. Hickok stated that there was no submitted objection for the record, but he does think there was a discussion earlier about the trucks parking on the property. He has not received any petitions. Mr. Bona stated that one neighbor started a petition about parking trucks on the property, and he did receive one signature from a neighbor who has since apologized to Mr. Bona for signing the petition. Mayor Jorgenson asked if there was a building on this property that suffered from a fire. Mr. Bona stated that it was Minnesota Petroleum. Mayor Jorgenson asked if the property at the time Minnesota Petroleum was there was zoned C-2 and then rezoned to R-3. Mr. Hickok stated that Minnesota Petroleum was on the site that is now the quick lube site. The R-3 was undeveloped, and the building was considerably smaller.

SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #99-09 BY BRIAN AND JACOUELINE BONA TO ALLOW A PROPOSED AUTO REPAIR FACILITY IN THE CURRENT C-2 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEET[NG OF OCTOBER i l 1999 PAGE 22 GENERAL BUSINESS DISTRICT GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5333 UNIVERSITY AVENUE 1Y.E.(WARD 1): Mr. Eiickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that this request was related to the same item as discussed previously. Auto repair is listed as a special use permit opportunity in the C-2 district, and compatibility with adjacent uses is key in the review for special use permits. The City must consider the nature of the neighboring building and land, effects on traffic, noise created by the use, and other impacts on surrounding properties. The code is very specific about minimal criteria required for special use for repair facilities. In addition to the minimum criteria, staff recommended approval with stipulations. The Planning Commission heard the stipulations and recommended approval with those stipulations plus four more stipulations. Stipulation No. 8 to have the building with the doors facing University Avenue. Staff recommended that Council's approve the original thirteen stipulations with nine more: 1) The site plan shall be submitted and approved by Staff prior to issuance of the building permit. Site plan shall reflect building position that eliminates all variances and places all overhead doors facing east; 2) Staff recommends the following stipulation so that in the event the variances are all denied, the stipulations from the variances are still valid, and should be then approved with the special use permit; 3) No outward display of inerchandise is to be permitted on the site; 4) To insure adequate circulation for fire, police and snowplows, the petitioner shall dedicate the street easement and connect the pre-established alley to the University Avenue service road cul-de-sac, final design to be approved by Staff; 5) All fencing shall be located entirely on the petitioner's own property; 6) Parking area shall be screened from the right-of-way by combination of berms, and plantings of at least three feet in height; 7) Code required five foot sidewalk easement shall be granted along the entire west edge of the property; 8) The petitioner shall comply with all County, State, and Federal regulations regarding the disposals of batteries and other materials; 9) Staff recommends that the entire package of stipulations go along with the first thirteen stipulations to insure building location and elimination of variances; Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok if the petitioner would have to pay for the alleyway as stipulated in Stipulation No. 13. Mr. Hickok stated that was correct, and it seemed to be an issue for the petitioner in the previous discussion. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok if staff was saying that if sound was an issue then the special use permit should not be granted at all. Mr. Hickok stated that was correct. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok if the neighbors on the west side of University Avenue would get the benefit of increased sound in the doors faced University Avenue. If the doors face the east, then the neighboring residents to the east would get the benefit of increased sound. He asked if it is staff's contention that the neighbors would help police the sound problem. Mr. Hickok stated that was correct. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 1 l. 1999 PAGE 23 Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok if the site p(an requires a fence along the east side of the property line and how tall will the garage doors be. Mr. Hickok stated that the fence needed to be eight feet high, and the commercial garage door like this would be 10 to 12 feet in height or higher depending on the service. Councilmember Billings stated that there was some discussion of tree removal at the Appeals Commission. Mr. Hickok stated that staff received complaints from an adjacent property owner that the trees that once screened their view of University Avenue had been removed. After further investigation, it was apparent that a number of significant trees had been removed from the area along the cul-de-sac and the fence line on the petitioner's property and the public right-of-way. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok if there was a request to install a new pedestal sign at the service station after the petitioner took over management of the service station. Mr. Hickok stated that there was discussion of the sign on the site, and the sign was contrary to the building code requirements. The sign then did appear on the site, and they were asked to take it down. Mr. Bona stated that the sign was a reader board type sign, and he did not ask for permission. He just put it up and used it for three weeks. Mr. Hickok called and told him it was not allowed. So he took it down in a matter of days. Councilmember Billings stated that someone was talking to Community Development and was told that the sign would not be permitted. Mr. Bona stated that did not happen. He put the sign up himself. Regarding the trees, Mr. Bona thought he was doing a good thing by cutting them down because one tree was partly dead, and the others were swampy looking trees of little value. The flowering crabs were goofy, being planted so close to the road on little mounds with railroad ties around. They were too large to be transplanted, so they had to go. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Bona what he was proposing for the building where the doors are not. Mr. Bona stated that the whole front of the building would be the red school brick, and the sides and the back would be concrete block painted very similar color to the natural brick. Then, he wanted to plant vines crawling up the wall for as natural a look as possible. He stated that he visited all of the folks on the other side of University Avenue, and there were no complaints regarding noise that exists with the existing Amoco. He felt that the garage repair noise gets drowned out by the highway noise. FRIDLEY C[TY COUNC[L MEETING OF OCTOBF,R 11. 1999 PAGE 24 Councilmember Billin�s stated that he was contacted by a former Councilmember of Columbia Heights and Columbia Heights City Manager who indicated that Mr. Bona was concerned about the cost of the alley. Mr. Bona stated that it seemed odd. He wanted to be fair, but he has no use for the alley. He felt that in all fairness, each property owner should pay for half of it. Councilmember Billings stated that it appeared as though all of the neighbors to the east actually use the current service station property to gain access to their garages. That access would be taken away with the fence. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok if the property to the east near 55`h Avenue has a garage in the alley. Mr. Hickok stated that one site illustration shows a garage in the alley. It is not a surveyed illustration but it is a sketch of the alley and it is questionable. The survey submitted by a registered surveyor for this property shows that same garage sitting very close to the edge of the line but not over the line. In this survey it does show there is a concrete pad that serves the garage in the alley and the rest of the concrete crosses that alley. The surveyor has indicated that it is very close but just outside the alley. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Flora how wide of an alley they need to do snowplowing. Mr. Flora stated that the alley would have to be 12 feet with storage of snow on the adjacent property. Councilmember Billings stated that they would have to construct a 12 foot driving surface and a 12 foot alley so there is no room for snow storage unless the garages are set back from the right- of-way. Mr. Hickok stated that the petitioner has indicated that the fence would be five feet back from the property line to allow some space for snow storage. Councilmember Billings stated that if the neighbors to the east need to pay for a portion of the alley, they should know about it as soon as possible. There needs to be a public hearing and a petition before assessment. He asked Mr. Hickok what the cost of putting an alley in was. Mr. Hickok stated that his best estimation was that for a ballpark figure the cost would be $9,500. Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hickok how many adjacent property owners were on that east side. Mr. Hickok stated that there were seven property owners, and it looked like four use the alley for sure. FRIDLEY CITY COUIYCIL MEET[NC OF OCTOBER 11, 1999 PAGE 25 Mayor Jorgenson stated that she was concerned with the type of building Mr. Bona proposed with the brick and concrete block finishes. Mr. Hickok stated that the City really does strive to get a four faced building with consistent materials. Mr. Bona asked if there were materials that he could use that were less costly than having four sides af all brick. Mr. Hickok stated that a combination of brick and rock-faced block would be less expensive, but striving to get a four faced building so one side does not get less attention is important so it looks balanced. He would encourage having the rock-faced banding in brick so that the neighbors would have less of an eyesore. , Mayor Jorgenson stated that he would have to work with staff regarding the type of material he would be using, especially because this is on the corridor. Mr. Bona stated that he would have to agree with that. Mayor Jorgenson asked if there was any more discussion on the way the doors would face. Councilmember Billings stated that there was not any discussion on that. Maybe they could take the discussion on the variances first and then do all of the motions at once. Staff recommendation on Page 90 was predicated on whether or not they approve the variances. If Council does not approve the variances then seven additional stipulations have to be included with the special use permit. They are all tied together. MOTION by Councilmember Billings to table Item 22 until Item 23 is discussed. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VQICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 23. VARIANCE REQUEST, VAR#99-19, BY BRIAN BONA, TO ALLOW AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SERVICES, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5333 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E.(WARD 11: Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, stated that the proposed garage is 4900 square feet in size with an office and a customer waiting area, five service bays and two toilet areas. Originally, there were six variances requested. The petitioner's summary of hardship is: "In order to screen the neighbors from being adjacent to the parking lot, and subjecting them to lights and noise and the related service station parking lot problems the building was moved east." The Appeals Commission action stated that the variance request and stipulations which were approved by the Appeals Commission by a three to two vote was to reduce the required setback from the residential area to the east from 50 feet to 30 feet. Staff had no recommendation on this FRtDLEY CtTY COUNC[L NIEETING OF OCTOBER 11, 1999 PAGE 26 request since it was within previously granted dimensions. However, staff identified a way to relocate the building that would eliminate the variances as well. In meeting with the petitioner and his architect, staff suggested eliminating as many variances as possible. Staff also strongly encouraged the petitioner and his architect to explore the possibility of changing the building layout to utilize an internal drive aisle to the service bays. An example of this is in Tires Plus. Unfortunately, on the narrow Bona site, this does not work. Staff recommended that if the variance be granted with the following stipulations: 1) All necessary permits shall be obtained prior to the start of construction; 2) All grading and drainage plans to be approved by staff prior to the issuance of building permits; 3) A landscaping plan meeting all code requirements, plus an additional 6 large (4 inch caliper) trees to compensate for trees removed from the ROW by the petitioner, shall be approved by staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. Bonding requirement, to ensure the installation of landscaping, shall be met as required by code; 4) No outdoor storage or displays to be permitted on this site; 5) Site shall not be used to display cars for sale or storage of trucks for �ent; 6) Alleyway east of property shall be restored and paved prior to issuance of building permits. Owner shall be responsible for installation of the alleyway, but not future maintenance; 7) To ensure adequate circulation for fire, police, and snow plows, petitioner shall dedicate a street easement and connect re-established alleyway to the University Avenue Service Road. Final design and layout to be approved by staff; 8) Variances granted shall become null and void should SP#99-09 or ZOA #99-04 fail to be granted; 9) All fencing to be located entirely upon petitioners own property; 10) Any lighting on east side of building shall be downcast and shielded to minimize impact on neighboring residential area; 11) The number of overhead doors facing University Avenue shall be limited to the extent possible. West elevation of building shall be approved by staff prior to the issuance of building permits. Overhead doors facing University Avenue shall have their impacts mitigated through architectural treatment, such as, recessed openings, full glass doors, and landscaping; 12) Parking are to be screened from the ROW by a combination of berms and continuous plantings of at least 3 feet in height; 13) Code required 5 foot sidewalk easement shall be granted along the entire west edge of the property; and 14) Petitioner comply with all County, State, and Federal regulations, regarding disposal of fluids, batteries, and other materials. Councilmember Billings asked if they were down to one variance being the recommendation from the Appeals Commission, and if it was staff's recommendation to have the doors facing east instead of west so the building would not require any variances. Mr. Hickok stated that was correct. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she can not see putting the doors facing the neighborhood. She thinks it is a nice looking building to face University Avenue. It may not be that noisy, but she was not sure about what kind of noise would impact University Avenue. Mr. Hickok stated that the noise would be the pneumatic tools. The doors always being closed could be a stipulation to be considered. The petitioner said that it has economic impacts with the doors closed from a climate control perspective but if Council feels that is an appropriate solution it could be a stipulation. FRIDLEY C[TY COUNC[L MEET[NG OF OCTOBER 11 1999 PAGE 27 Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Bona if he thought the building would look classier with the doors closed. Ms. Bona stated that she lives across from the service station and is home during the day when the doors are open. It is very rare that she hears the noise, but with the windows shut and the air- conditioning on she can never hear it. She can hear fire trucks, but she very rarely hears anything from the service station. The traffic drowns it out. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if maybe they are just used to the noise, but it may be noisier than they think for the neighbors. Councilmember Wolfe stated that it seems the loudest noise is when the mechanics take tires off which usually only takes thirty seconds. Mr. Bona stated that the noise is furuieled internally and probably would not funnel out the door. He does not know of any other auto repair that uses air-conditioning due to the cost. Mayor Jorgenson stated that she would rather see the doors facing University Avenue than to the east. She can imagine how the neighbors would feel with those doors facing them but still has concerns about the impact it would have on University Avenue. She stated that she loves what Mr. Bona is proposing but felt it would be too much for the space of the lot. She lives 200 yazds away from a gas station by her house, and she hears the noise. She was concerned with the reduction of property in the City that could be used for single family homes. Councilmember Barnette stated he was in favor of the doors facing University Avenue as well. The noise was not a factor for him. Councilmember Billings stated that it appeared as though the consensus of tlie City Council would like to see the doors facing University Avenue, which requires the variance to move the building to the east side of the lot. He wondered what the hardship, as defined by state statute, would be in this particular case. Mayor Jorgenson stated that accommodate the building. building would fit on the site. she does not see a hardship except that the lot is too narrow to She felt the proposal was beautiful, but she did not know if this Councilmember Billings stated that if the doors faced University Avenue then a variance would need to be approved. Councilmember Wolfe stated that the business would be closed in the evening when many people are home. He felt it was a good looking building and a great plan for that area. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she would go along with it as long as the doors are closed. Councilmember Barnette asked if there was a problem with the exhaust with the doors closed. FRIDLF,Y CITY COUIYCIL MEETIIYG OF OCTOBF.R l 1 1999 PAGE 28 Mr. Bona stated that that is not an issue. Air conditioning would not work with the car engines running and the radiators radiating heat. The quick lube bays would be closed with air conditioning, but those engines are not running when they are being worked on. He said he is committed to image and would do everything he could to make the place look nice and respectable. Mr. Bona stated that he was not opposed to the alley. It would increase the price, but if it kept peace among the neighbors he would be agreeable to it. MOTION by Councilmember Billings, seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom, to approve Variance #99-19 that deals with Section 205.14.03.C.(4) to reduce the setback from adjacent residential district on the east side from 50 feet to 30 feet with the fourteen stipulations as follows: 1) All necessary permits shall be obtained prior to the start of construction; 2) All grading and drainage plans to be approved by City Staff prior to the issuance of building permits. A landscaping plan meeting all code requirements, plus an additional six large (4 feet caliper trees to compensate for trees removed from the right-of -way by the petitioner, shall be approved by City Staff prior to the issuance of a building permit. Bonding requirement, to ensure the installation of landscaping, shall be met as required by Code; 3) No outdoor storage or displays to be permitted on this site; 4) Site shall not be used to display cars for sale or storage of trucks for rent; 5) Alleyway east of property shall be restored and paved prior to issuance of building permits; 6) To ensure adequate circulation for fire, police, and snow plows, petitioner shall dedicate a street easement and connect re-established alleyway to the University Avenue Service Road. Final design and layout to be approved by City Staff; 7) Variances granted shall become null and void should SP #99-09 or ZOA #99-04 fail to be granted; 8) All fencing to be located entirely upon petitioners own property; 9) Any lighting on East side of building shall be downcast and shielded to minimize the impact on neighboring residential area; 10) The number of overhead doors facing University Avenue shall be limited to the extent possible. West elevation of building shall be approved by staff prior to the issuance of building permits. Overhead doors facing University Avenue shall have their impacts mitigated through architectural treatment, such as, recessed openings, full glass doors, and landscaping; 11) Parking are to be screened from the right-of-way by a combination of berms and continuous plantings of at least 3 feet in height; 12) Code required five feet sidewalk easement shall be granted along the entire west edge of the property; and 13) Petitioner comply with all County, State, and Federal regulations, regarding disposal of fluids, batteries, and other materials.

MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to approve the September 15, 1999, Planning Commission minutes as amended. 3 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAGE 2 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A PRELIMINARY PLAT P.S. #99- 05 BY KIM & GEORGE BATESON AND MARY & DENNIS PIETRINI: To divide property into four single-family lots, generally located at 6217 Central Avenue N.E. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:33 P.M. Mr. Hickok stated the petitioners are seeking to create four lots from Lots 20 and 21, Auditors Subdivision #22, and Outlots A and B, Heather Hills West, to construct four new single family homes. The property is located east of Central Avenue on Heather Place on the north side of the street. The property is zoned R-1, Single Family, as are the properties to the north, east and south. The zoning to the west is C-3, General Shopping. Mr. Hickok stated the property was platted in 1939. A home was built prior to 1949 and still exists on the site. As part of this development, this home will be removed. In 1997, there was an unsuccessful attempt to divide the property into seven lots. At that time, there was discussion about the outlot to the south of this property that separated the proposed lots from utilities. Those outlot issues have been rectified. Mr. Hickok stated the proposal meets or exceeds the size requirements of the Fridley zoning code. Therefore, staff recommends approval of the plat request, P.S. #99-05, with the following stipulations: 1. Grading and drainage plan shall be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the issuance of any building permits in order to minimize the impacts to the surrounding properties. 2. The petitioner shall provide a 20-foot drainage and utility easement along easterly and southerly property lines of proposed Lot 4. 3. The petitioner shall provide a 12-foot drainage and utility easement along the northerly property line of proposed Lots 1, 2, 3 and 4. 4. The petitioner shall provide proof that any existing wells or individual sewage treatment systems located on the site are properly capped or removed. 5. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable. 6. The petitioner shall pay $750 per lot park fees prior to issuance of buitding permits. 7. The petitioner shall pay all water and sewer connection fees. 8. The petitioner shall agree to preserve mature trees to the extent possible. All trees required to be removed for the new homes shall be marked and approved by City staff prior to issuance of building permits. 0 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAG E 3 Mr. Hickok reviewed the proposed site plan for the plat. Ms. Savage stated she looked at the area. Lot 4 is very steep. Is that a problem for building as far as the City is concerned? Mr. Hickok stated he has looked at the grades. The petitioner has worked with the builder and has determined there is a buildable site for a house. Mr. Kondrick asked if staff had received any comments from the neighbors. Mr. Hickok stated staff received six calls. All six callers supported the request. There were no objections. Mr. Bateson stated he is one of the petitioners, a citizen of Fridley and a resident of Heather Place. They bought their lot on Heather Place in 1990. One of their concems was what would happen to the lot across the street. A builder owned the outlot and that would ensure that this properly would be developed consistent with the quality and character of Heather Place. In 1997, there was a proposal to divide that property into six lots with a seventh lot to face Ben More. At that time, the residents of Heather Place realized they did not have a lot of control or influence over what was going to happen with that property. At that time, Dennis and Mary Pietrini and he and Ann stepped forward and agreed to purchase the outlots in Heather Place. Subsequent to that, they came to an agreement with the people involved with the other development and they now own all of the property. They are combining that to form Heather Hills North and to divide the property into four lots. It is their intention to develop these lots in a manner that is consistent with the character of Heather Place. Mr. Bateson showed photographs of existing homes in the area. The proposed homes will be of equivalent quality. They have joined forces with Bob Ebensteiner who will be the exclusive builder on these four lots. He is very committed to the quality of this development. He will look at the results every day of his life. The Commission should trust what he will do. He trusts that Dennis and Mary Pietrini will be proud of this development, and he believes the neighbors and citizens of Fridley will be proud of this development. He is asking for the continued guidance and support of City staff to develop this property so that it is consistent in character and quality with the neighborhood. He asked the Planning Commission for approval of the request. Ms. Savage asked if Mr. Bateson had received any feedback from the neighbors. Mr. Bateson stated he has met with the neighbors and presented the preliminary proposal. Their acceptance and support of the proposal was quite strong. He received no feedback to not go ahead or that they were not happy. Mr. Kondrick asked if Mr. Bateson had any objections to the stipulations. 5 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, � 999 PAG E 4 Mr. Bateson stated he was surprised about the 20ka ot itaSe u'te abarge ottso they can understands the issues with the water lines, it is o y q work around that. After working with the engineers, it will not be a problem. Ms. Savage asked if he had any problems with the stipulation regarding the trees. Mr. Bateson stated he had no real problem with the stipulation. Some trees will be removed. They want to keep these lots as much of quality lots as possible. Trees are a component in that equation. They plan to leave as many trees as possible. Some grading must be done and some trees will be removed. On Lots 3 and 4, just the street driveways have to be graded. Knowing that these will be large lots, he thought there would be more trees left than what is normal. He is willing to work with the City. Mr. Westover stated that, in general, he e nea�futurela d in he ong t�nm ering what the impact would be to Ben More Drive in th Mr. Hickok stated that at the time the proposal for seven lots was being considered, there was discussion that would put a 30-foot easement off Ben More on the northem edge of what is now Lot 4. The City Council felt that one day utilities may need to run off Ben More but not a street. Based on that discussion and knowledge of the contours, he can say with some certainty that a street connection would not be made there. This development would have less impact�oW'B ha e�much the same feel as phaslnowrom an impact perspective, that neighborhoo Mr. Westover stated there is an unbuildable lot behind Lot 4. What happens to that lot? Mr. Hickok stated there is a lot to the north of the proposed Lot 4. That lot does have a public right-of-way on the southeast corner that comes across 25 feet. If there was street development in that area, he would have concerns about the contours. It is not landlocked, but he thought that piece'some la p er deveo pment in the fu urepecific design or having that become part of 9 Ms. Martin stated she would like to express her support for the proposal. She and her husband reviewed the plan at Mr. & Mrs. Pietrini's house. Mr. Bateson took them through it. They are familiar with the builder and the builder's quality of homes. Sfie thought it would be a great addition to Fridley. She looks at that area with great pride. She was not happy about the previous proposal but supports this plan. Mr. Saarela stated he lives on the corner. He would like to eliminate the formal setting and put everyone around his kitchen table because this is how it feels. This is a great conclusion to a proposal that has good feelings from the property owners. To have the petitioners come in and alleviate a problem for everybody on such a moral and ethical premise, he compliments them and the neighbors. They have done well. Mr. Janezich stated he was in favor of the request. He is very proud to be a part of Heather Place. They moved there five years ago. It is one of the better places in the metro area. He is very proud that Ann and George Bateson and Mary and Dennis Pietrini have stepped forward to put resolution to this issue that has been going on for �� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAGE 5 about two years. The Commission can be confident that this will be a quality addition to the City of Fridley. Mr. Brenny stated he was in agreement with everything that has been said. The Batesons and Pietrinis have done a tremendous act of charity to the neighborhood and the City. He appreciated the efforts of the City, and hoped the Commission and City Council would approve the proposal. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:58 P.M. Mr. Kuechle stated the request meets the spirit of what the City is looking for in terms of size. It meets the requirements of the code. They have been involved with and have worked with the neighborhood. He would recommend approval. Mr. Kondrick stated he agreed and likes the spirit of the development. The neighbors share in the same kind of spirit. That is a lovely area. He would approve the request. MOTION by Mr. Sielaff, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to recommend approval of a Plat, P.S. #99-05, by Kim and George Bateson and Mary and Dennis Pietrini, to divide property into four single family lots, generally located at 6217 Central Avenue N.E., with the following stipulations: 1. Grading and drainage plan shall be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the issuance of any building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding properties. 2.

Ms. Savage stated the City Council would consider this request on October 25. 7 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAGE 6 2. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF PRELIMINARY PLAT P.S. #99-06 BY KURT MANUFACTURING COMPANY: To replat for the purpose of purchasing a portion of the railroad right-of-way, generally located south of I-694 and industrial Boulevard, and Ashton Avenue. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:00 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated Kurt Manufacturing is seeking a plat to add property they have acquired from the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe railroad to their existing property. The property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial, and is surrounded by other industrial uses. Across the street to the east is R-1, Single Family, zoning. Mr. Bolin stated the property was platted in 1941. In 1959, Kurt constructed its first building. In 1960, 1963 and 1965, warehouses were added. In 1965, 1966 and 1975, additions were made to the site. Mr. Bolin stated staff is recommending approval of the request. One of the stipulations requires combining the parcel with the existing property prior to final plat approval. Staff first thought the property acquired was vacant. As it tums out, the property is not vacant. Ku�t has been using the site for approximately 15 years for parking. It is paved, and there is bituminous curb around portions of the site. Even with the property they have acquired, it appears there is still property that will be leased from the railroad. Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of the request with the following stipulations: 1. At the time any future parking improvements are made, code required curbing shall be installed. 2. The petitioner shall provide a 25-foot drainage and utility easement along the easterly property line of proposed Lot 1. 3. The petitioner shall combine this lot with existing property prior to firial plat. 4. The petitioner shall pay applicable park dedication fees prior to issuance of any permits. Mr. Bolin reviewed an aerial photo and the preliminary plat. It appears that part of the existing parking lot lies outside the area of this acquired parcel. Ms. Modig asked if the area that lies outside the acquired property is between the railroad and the manufacturing area. Mr. Bolin stated, yes. Kurt can continue leasing property from the railroad. Mr. Kuechle asked if they meet the parking requirements. � .•� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAGE 7 Mr. Bolin stated, yes. Mr. Kuechle asked why the issue of the curbing was left open-ended. He thought a time should be indicated, such as 5 years. By just saying improvements, does that mean striping? Mr. Bolin stated improvements would mean re-paving. The Commission could put on a time limit. Neighboring parking lots are gravel and not improved. This lot is improved. Along the south boundary, there is a curb in place. At the time of improvements, staff is asking that a 6:12 curb be placed on the site. Mr. Kondrick agreed that to leave it open-ended is not good. A time limit would be beneficial to everyone. Ms. Schuldt stated she worked for a realtor's office and was hired to work with Kurt on the petition. Kurt has leased the property from the railroad for a long time. The railroad sold the property to another company, and now that company wants to sell the property. The property did not have a proper legal description. They are now trying to get a deed of record. The property has been in use as a parking lot for a number of years. The concern about improvements is also a concern of Kurt. They came forward to obtain permission to record the deed in order to comply with City requirements. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:10 P.M. Mr. Kuechle stated he would be in favor of recommending approval with the change in the first stipulation that the curb be in place within five years or the next time the parking lot is paved. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Saba, to recommend approval of Plat, P.S. #99-06, by Kurt Manufacturing Company, to replat for the purpose of purchasing a portion of the railroad right-of-way, generally located south of I-694 and Industrial ' Boulevard, and Ashton Avenue, with the following stipulations: 1. At the time any future parking lot improvements are made or within five years (whichever occurs first), code required curbing shall be installed. 2. The petitioner shall provide a 25-foot drainage and utility easement along easterly property line of proposed Lot 1. 3. The petitioner shall combine this lot with existing property prior to final plat. 4. The petitioner shall pay applicable park dedication fees prior to issuance of any permits. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. � RLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAGE 8 Ms. Savage stated the City Council would consider this request on October 25. 3. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A RESOLUTION FOR A LOT SPLIT L.S. #99-03. BY FRIDLEY HOUSING & REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY �� To sell the north 20 feet of the lot to an adjoining property owner, generally located at 5857 Main Street. MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:12 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated the Fridley HRA is seeking to split the north 20 feet of Lot 29, Hyde Park Addition, in order to sell it to the neighboring property owner. The property is zoned S-1, Hyde Park Neighborhoods, as are the properties to the north and south. Across the street to the west is M-2, Heavy Industrial. The legal description includes Lots 28 and 29, Block 24, Hyde Park Addition. Mr. Bolin stated the lot is currently vacant. The lot was platted in 1886. A home was built on the property prior to 1949. There was also a garage on the site. In 1996, the HRA acquired the property and removed the home and garage. Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of the lot split. The lot owned by the HRA will still exceed the size standards required by code. Ms. Savage asked if staff had received any calls regarding the request. Mr. Bolin stated staff had received no calls. Mr. Kuechle asked if the goal was to sell the 20 feet to the neighbor to the north in order to bring the corner lot closer to compliance. Mr. Bolin stated the HRA has a proposal to build a home on the lot. The proposed home does not need the full 80-foot frontage. The neighbor to the north has inquired about obtaining more property in order to become closer to a 65-foot width. It is a combination of having a buildable lot and getting the neighbor closer to the required lot size. This is under-utilized land and has benefit to the neighbor. Ms. Modig asked why they did not do the extra 1 3/< feet in order to make the corner lot a conforming lot. , Mr. Hickok stated that if they had done that, then the HRA lot would not be conforming. The measurements are that close. 10 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAGE 9 Ms. Dacy stated this came up during an HRA meeting while they were discussing this piece of property. The owner of the property to the north brought this to the HRA's attention; the HRA asked staff to look into it; and staff is now processing a lot split. Mr. Raveling stated they had gotten a letter from the City that if they purchased 20-feet of land they would be compliant. That is what they are going for. Ms. Dacy stated the intent is to acknowledge that the lot to the north of the HRA's lot is a nudge less than the requirement and, in essence, this is granting a variance to that requirement. Once the lot split is approved, they will have a conforming lot. If the homeowners want to do something, they would not have to come in for a variance. MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Ms. Modig, to close the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:20 P.M. Mr. Kondrick stated this is a good way to get utilization of the property. He would vote in favor of the request. MOTION by Mr. Saba, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to recommend approval of a resolution for a Lot Split, L.S. #99-03, by Fridley HRA, to sell the north 20 feet of the lot to an adjoining property owner, generally located at 5857 Main Street. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Ms. Savage stated the City Council would consider this request on October 25. 4. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF A VACATION REQUEST SAV #99- 06. BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY: To vacate that portion of Cheryl Street lying easterly of the southern extension of the westerly line of Lot 18, Block L, Riverview Heights, and westerly of the southerly extension of the east line of Lot 10, Block L, Riverview Heights, Anoka County, Minnesota. • MOTION by Ms. Modig, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:22 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated the vacation request is being brought forward by the City of Fridley. The City is seeking to vacate an undeveloped portion of Cheryl Street. The property would be split among three adjoining property owners. At the last meeting, the Planning Commission granted a street vacation to Michael and Claudia Geis, who sought to vacate a portion of Cheryl Street that is undeveloped. Upon reviewing their request, staff decided it would be in the City's best interest to vacate the rest of the undeveloped �� PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAGE 10 portion of Cheryl Street lying to the west of the Geis properly. The City has had a survey done to divide the land befinreen the three adjacent property owners. Mr. Bolin stated Cheryl Street was platted in 1922 as part of the Riverview Heights addition. The roadway was never built. Since that time, it has been used by neighboring properties as basically their own private property. The area is heavily wooded and has a steep grade. It is not likely that the City would ever be able to develop this as a roadway. Leaving a stub street after vacating the street by the Geis property would leave unanswered questions in the future. Due to these factors, staff is recommending approval of the street vacation. Mr. Bolin stated that according to the certificate of survey, Lot A or 7981 Broad, would receive a 20-foot x 160-foot parcel; Lot B would receive a 20-foot by 75-foot parcel; and Lot C would receive a 20-foot x 235-foot parcel. Ms. Modig stated she is assuming these persons are willing to do this and/or want it done. Mr. Bolin stated staff had received three catls regarding the request --one in support and the other two just inquiring after the notices were sent. Mr. Kuechle asked if the City gives the land to the property owners at no charge. Mr. Bolin stated, yes. Mr. Lagesse stated he called in to get some information. He did not get enough. He could not understand the description in the letter. He called and was told that it would mean that he would be paying about $5.00 more in property taxes. Staff said it was surveyed but he has not seen any markers. He would like to know where the markers are so they can look for them. Curb and gutter was mentioned. What would that mean to them financially as far as assessments? Mr. Hickok stated curb and gutter formulas have been analyzed and the property owners notified. This action does not add to it. The action happened after the costs were broken down. Mr. Hickok stated that as far as the survey stakes, the City has had a survey prepared. The surveyor identified the corner stakes. They go from that benchmark to create a lot description and identify the marks in the field. Property owners should be able to find the corner stakes about one inch below grade. Mr. Lagesse stated that in the past when his property was being surveyed for the roadway, they were coming up with different answers depending on where they started. Neighbors had a similar experience. Mr. Hickok stated there is no guarantee that adjacent lot owners get their lot surveyed. The street right-of-way has been identified and marked. How it related to the properties 12 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAGE 11 stakes, he is certain there is not new corner stakes for those lots but there are f right-of-way. or the Mr. Lagesse asked how much property would go to each property owner. Mr. Bolin stated each property would receive 20 feet. Mr. Lagesse stated that if he understands correctly, he should be able to find stake by his driveway. If he goes out another 20 feet from that point, he shou a e corner to find a new stake. be abie Mr. Hickok stated the outside boundaries of the right-of-way have been staked believed the survey would mark the center point of the area being vacated. ' He Mr. Lagesse stated he did not recall receiving a letter giving the cost for stree assessments - curb, gutter, and sewer. t Mr. Hickok stated that, annually, the City does a certification of assessments in September. He believed that because the project was not finished for this ear will certify in September of next year. The property owners will receive a I tter bthey that explaining the costs and assessments. efore MO— T_ by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Sielaff, to close the public hearin .

Ms. Dacy stated LaMaur was just sold to another company. The City does receive calls from prospective buyers asking about the City's economic programs. In this case, LaMaur is not a part of a TIF district. By putting it into a project area, it gives the ability to the HRA for loans or to establish a TIF district in the future if factors and issues can be answered. It gives the City more flexibility to respond to needs. With less than 100 acres for industrial and commercial land, they must be creative about maintaining and improving what is here. Ms. Dacy stated that with the Medtronic campus, they recognize that the City will receive additional interest from the private market for new commercial uses. Medtronic would like to see a new hotel nearby. As a result, they have included the commercial area in the southeast and southwest part of the interchange as well. Ms. Savage asked for Ms. Dacy's comments regarding the northwest portions. Ms. Dacy stated the HRA has already acquired some lots for the scattered site housing replacement program in that area. The Hyde Park and Riverview Heights are two of the older areas in the city. There are still a number of very small houses in that area. There are also some commercial land uses along the west side of the road that pose issues for the neighborhood. Expansion of the redevelopment area gives the HRA the flexibility for redevelopment or to expand the rehabilitation and scattered site programs. Mr. Sielaff asked if there is some criteria by which the areas are defined. Ms. Dacy stated it is within the ability of the City to determine what is in the project area. What they did go by was the general purposes for redevelopment in the state statutes. Some parcels are fine. What they do in one area can have an impact across the street. When they start drawing the circles on the map, they began to interconnect Mr. Sielaff asked if the key is to increase the value. Ms. Dacy stated it is a goal to maintain and increase property values; but this is also an opportunity to expand employment, keep structures up to code, etc. ' Ms. Savage stated this is consistent with the inquiries made of the public and what can be done to improve livability in the City. Mr. Sielaff asked why the area west of University and south of I-694 was included in the project area. Ms. Dacy stated a number of rehab activities have occurred in that area. The City has received inquiries about the need for rehab from soil conditions in the area. It is also across the street from a significant industrial area. This gives the HRA the authority to do projects to address those concerns. 15 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 6, 1999 PAGE 14 MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Modig, to approve a resolution finding the Modification to the Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project #1 to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan of the City.

Planning Staff worked with the petitioner and determined it is not possible to build a garage of useable size on this site without variances. Petitioner had originally sought a variance to reduce the required drive aisle width from 25' to 23'. Upon reviewing the request, City Staff determined that it would be safer to move the new garage 2' closer toward the side yard property line in order to maintain the 25' drive aisle width. The petitioner agreed with staff. Visiting the site, staff determined that locating the proposed garage 3' from the side yard lot line would not have a negative effect on the neighboring property to the south. The Medtronic buildings, which are the nearest neighbors to the south, are screened from this property by their heavy planting of evergreens along the property line and spatially separated by their large parking lots and the railroad tracks. APPEALS COMMISSION ACTION At the October 13, 1999 Appeals Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for VAR #99-27. A motion was made to approve the requested variance, with stipulations, as presented by staff. The motion carried unanimously. • STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the Appeals Commission and grant this variance request with the attached stipulations. 1. Pefitioner shall obtain any required permits prior to beginning construction. 2. City Sfaff shall approve the design and location of garbage dumpster and recycling container enclosure prior to the issuance of a building permit 25 City of Fridley Land Use Application VAR-99-27 October 13, 1999 GENERAL INFORMATION SPECIAL INFORMATION Applicant: Tom Brama 3216 32"d Avenue NE St. Anthony, NIN 55418 Requested Action: Variance Purpose: Construct 8-Unit garage, 3' from the side yard properiy line.

The Medtronic buildings, which are the nearest neighbors to the south, are screened from this property by their large parking lots, the railroad tracks, and a heavy planting of evergreens along the property line. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approva/ of fhis variance request with sfipulafions. Staff studied past variances dating back to 1986, and found no similar variances had been granted in the past in R-3 Zoning Districts. It also appeared that no similar requests had been made in R-3 Zoning Districts. Several requests similar in nature have been granted in the R-1 zoning district. It should be noted that granting of this variance is not intended to set a precedence for all future requests to reduce the side yard setback for accessory buildings in the R-3 zoning district. Due to the unique location of this property, abutting well screened industrial land, there are no negative impacts to neighboring properties. Building a parking garage with only an 18' depth, to meet setback requirements, would not provide the stall size needed to house larger cars and trucks. Providing garages will aid in improving the appearance of this site. The extra storage space provided by the garages will help this complex keep a neat appearance and not detract from the surrounding neighborhood. Studies have shown that apartment complexes that provide garages, generally, tend to attract more stable long-term tenants. The most recent housing study completed for the City of Fridley indicated that there is a real shortage of apartment units (3 bedroom) la�ge enough to house families. The 7 improved units of market rate, 2& 3 bedroom, family sized rental housing will be a welcome addition to Fridley's • housing stock. STIPULATIONS Staff recommends the following stipulations be attached to approval of this request. 1. Code required dumpster and recycling bin enclosures be provided at this site, preferably attached to the new garage. 2. All building permits be obtained prior to start of construction. z7 1. PUBLIC HEARING: CONSIDERATION OF VARIANCE REQUEST VAR #99-27 BY TOM BRAMA Per Section 205.09.03.D.(2).(d) of the Fridley Zoning Code, to reduce the required side yard setback, for an accessory buiiding, from 5 feet to 3 feet to allow the construction of a garage on the east 200 feet of Lot 13, Auditor's Subdivision No. 89, except roads, subject to easement of record, generally located at 1284 Norton Avenue. MOTION by Ms. Beaulieu, seconded by Mr. Jones, to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and to open the public hearing. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 7:42 P.M. Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner is requesting a variance to reduce the side yard setback for an accessory structure from 5 feet to 3 feet to construct an eight-stall parking garage at 1284 Norton Avenue. Mr. Bolin stated the code requires a side yard setback of 5 feet for an accessory building. The property is located on the corner of Norton Avenue and Old Central. To the north and west are additional multi-family buildings. To the east is Onan and to the south is Medtronic. There are finro rather large Medtronic parking lots separated by a railroad track. Mr. Bolin stated the lot was platted in 1949. The current seven-unit apartment building was constructed in 1985. Tom and Robert Brama have recently purchased the property and are in the midst of rehabbing the entire building. The building will have a new look over the next few months. Mr. Bolin stated the hardship statement summary indicates that, without a variance, only an 18-foot deep garage could be built which would not be able to house a larger car ortruck. Mr. Bolin stated the parking garage would be heavily screened from Medtronic to the south. The petitioner originally proposed to build the garage five feet from the side yard line which would leave a 23-foot drive aisle. When the staff development review committee looked over the request, the consensus of the planning, engineering, fire and police staff was that they would rather see a 25-foot drive aisle maintained and have the side yard setback reduced to three feet being that it is well screened and there is industrial use to the south. For those reasons, there are fewer impacts. Mr. Bolin stated staff does recommend approval of the request. Granting the request is not intended to set a precedent for future requests for other apartment buildings in the R-3 district. Many R-3 districts are located next to single family homes for which the impact would be of a different nature. Due to the unique location of this properry abutting well-screened industrial property, there are not impacts to the neighboring properties. Having a garage will improve the appearance of the site: If the Appeals Commission approves the request, staff recommends the following stipulations: 1. Code-required dumpster and recycling bin enclosures shall be provided at this site, preferably attached to the new garage. 2. All building permits shall be obtained prior to start of construction. Mr. Bolin stated the site has a garbage enclosure, but it is missing the code-required doors, and staff feels it is too small to accommodate recycling bins as well. The site has two more parking spaces than what is required by code. The site has 16 spaces and code requires 14 for a building of this size. The garage would take up eight of the parking stalls. Dr. Vos asked where staff was suggesting the dumpster/recycling bin enclosure be located. � Mr. Bolin stated the current enclosure is in the area of what on the map is parking stall #12. Since there are two extra parking stalls, it would be possible to put it next to the garage or perhaps add on to the existing enclosure and add doors. Ms. Mau stated the garage spaces are considered as parking stalls so the site would still have the required number of parking stalls. Would it be possible to park cars in front of the garage doors? Mr. Bolin stated there would not be enough room. Mr. Jones asked if two parlcing stalls would be needed for the garbage/recycling enclosure. Mr. Bolin stated, no. They may be able to get by with one stall. It would be a matter of coming up with something that would allow the trucks to get in and have access. Mr. Robert Brama stated he had no objections to the stipulations. It would be beneficial to the tenants and the building to have a place for storage that is enclosed. Dr. Vos asked about the question of the garbage enclosure. Mr. Robert Brama stated they could attach it to the garage. Mr. Tom Brama stated on the original site plan the enclosure takes up two parking spaces. He would propose to put the enclosure in the triangular piece next to the diagonal parking stalls so they could recapture the parking spaces. They would need to work with the haulers on the design so they have the access they need. Dr. Vos asked staff how strongly staff wanted the enclosure attached to the garage. Mr. Bolin stated the code requires that this be enclosed. Staff is flexible on the location as long it meets the code requirements. Mr. Tom Brama stated they currently have no recycling for the tenants, but they want to provide this service. Mr. Bolin stated he would suggest changing the first stipulation to read, "The garbage enclosure shall be approved by staff prior to the issuance of the building permit for the garage." Mr. Tom Brama stated they are trying to recapture the parking spaces. Many of their tenants don't drive anyway, but they anticipate that will change in the future. MOTION by Ms. Mau, seconded by Ms. Beaulieu, to close the public hearing. � UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:53 P.M. Ms. Beaulieu stated this seems like a good plan. The garage will be an improvement. She can see where they need the 20-foot garage depth and that would be better than decreasing the width of the drive aisle. Mr. Kuechle concurred. To have a depth of less than 20 feet would not be good. Although cars are shorter, tenants still need storage space. The more space the better. The petitioner can work with staff to do the best job for the site. He would vote in favor of the request. Ms. Mau agreed. There is a hardship. To do this any other way would not be prudent. 29 Mr. Jones agreed. He stated it does not seem to affect the property next door. The property most affected is Medtronic, which is an industrial area and which is well screened. He would vote in favor with the revised stipulation. MOTION by Mr. Jones, seconded by Ms. Mau, to recommend approval of Variance Request, VAR #99-27, by Tom Brama, to reduce the required side yard setback, for an accessory structure from 5 feet to 3 feet to allow the construction of a garage on the east 200 feet of Lot 13, Auditor's Subdivision No. 89, except roads, subject to easement of record, generally located at 1284 North Avenue, with the following stipulations: 1. The garbage enclosure shall be approved by staff prior to the issuance of the building permit for the garage. 2. All building permits shall be obtained prior to start of construction. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mr. Bolin stated the City Council would consider this request on November 8. 30 ` AGENDA ITEM CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 1999 CRY OF FRIDLEY Date: 10/18/99 Q i To: William Bums, City Manager � �,�' From: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator Paul Bolin, Planner RE: Planning Commission action on LS #99-03 M-99-251 INTRODUCTION The City of Fridley has been asked by the Housing & Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to grant a lot split of the northerly 20' of their property at 5857 Main St, allowing the neighboring property to purchase these 20' wide parcel and recognize their lot as conforming in lot width. The HRA owned lot, if the split is granted, would meet all zoning code requirements for lot size and setbacks. PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION At the October 6, 1999 Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for LS #99-03. A motion was made to approve Lot Split, LS #99-03, to allow the property located at 5857 Main Street to be split and thus recognizing the property located at 5861 Main Street as having conforming lot width. THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends that the City Council concur with the planning commission and approve the resolution authorizing Lot Split, LS #99-03. LS 99-03 ANALYSIS � The Ciry of Fridley HRA is seeking to split the north 20' of Lot 29 , Hyde Park Addition, commonly described as 5857 Main Street, and sell property to the neighboring property located at 5861 Main Street. An older home that was located at 5857 was razed in 1996, when the City of Fridley HRA purchased the property. The HRA has plans to sell the remaining portion of Lot 29 and Lot 28 to the Center for Energy and Environment for the construction of a new single family home. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of this /ot split request. The City HRA lot will still exceed the size standards required by the City of Fridley Zoning Code. Fridley requires that Iots in the S-1 district be a minimum of 60' in width with a minimum total lot area of 7,500 square feet. The HRA lot will be 60' in width and 7,740 square feet in size after the lot split. 31 The property at 5861, which is purchasing the northerly 20' of Lot 29, will be 63.25' in width after the property purchase. This property will still be non-conforming, as it is a corner lot and requires 65' of lot width. 32 RESOLUTION NO. -1999 A RESOLUTION APPROVING A SUBDIVISION, LOT SPLIT, LS #99-03, TO CREATE TWO SINGLE FAMILY PARCELS, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 5857 AND 5861 MAIN STREET WHEREAS, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Lot Split, LS #99-03, on October 6, 1999 and recommended approval; and WHEREAS, the City Council at the October 25, 1999 meeting approved the Lot Split request; and WHEREAS, such approval was to create two residential lots, based on new legal descriptions which read as follows: Proposed New Tract "A": Lot 30 and the north 20.00 feet of Lot 29, Block 24, as measured on the East and West lines thereof, Block 24, HYDE PARK, Anoka County, Minnesota.

CITY COUNCIL ACTION October 25, 1999 (View of lot from Main Street) Staff Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin LS 99-03 ANALYSIS The City of Fridley HRA is seeking to split the north 20' of Lot 29 , Hyde Park Addition, commonly described as 5857 Main Street, and sell property to the neighboring property located at 5861 Main Street. An older home that was located at 5857 was razed in 1996, when the City of Fridley HRA purchased the property. The HRA has plans to sell the remaining portion of Lot 29 and Lot 28 to the Center for Energy and Environment for the construction of a new single family home. RECOMMENDATIONS City Staff recommends approval of this lot split request. The City HRA lot will still exceed the size standards required by the City of Fridley Zoning Code. Fridley requires that lots in the S-1 district be a minimum of 60' in width with a minimum total lot area of 7,500 square feet. The HRA lot will be 60' in width and 7,740 square feet in size after the lot split. The property at 5861, which is purchasing the northerly 20' of Lot 29, will be 63.25' in width after the property purchase: This property will still be non-conforming, as it is a corner lot and requires 65' of lot width. 35 = AGENDA ITEM CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 1999 cmr oF FRIDLEY DATE: October 21, 1999 TO: William W. Bums, City Manager�/1�� FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Scott J. Hickok, Planning Coordinator Paul Bolin, Planner SUBJECT: Cover Memo for Cheryl Street Vacation, SAV #99-06 The City is seeking to vacate an undeveloped portion of Cheryl Street, as the City has determined that this portion of Cheryl Street will most likely never be installed due to topographic constraints. ISSUES At their October 6, 1999 meeting, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a vacation request in which the Cheryl Street right-of-way would be vacated from the Geis property at 520 Dover Street west to Broad Avenue. The Geis request for street vacation, SAV #99-04, prompted City staff to examine the potential future use of the remaining undeveloped portion of Cheryl Street, east of Broad Avenue. Due to the steep slopes and the location of Springbrook Creek, City staff has determined that it would be highly unlikely that the City would have any desire or need to install Cheryl Street as platted. A stub street with no installation potential leaves too many unanswered questions, and the potential that at some point in the future the City could receive a petition to improve that short segment of street, which now would serve no purpose. RECOMMENDATION FOR SAV #99-06 Ciry Staff recommends approval of the resolution that accompanies vacation request, SAV #99-06, as proposed. M-99-257 36 RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION APPROVING A VACATION, SAV #99-06, VACATING A PORTION OF CHERYL STREET WHEREAS, The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the vacation, SAV #99- 06, on October 6, 1999, and recommended approval to vacate: That part of Cheryl Street lying easterly of the southem extension of the westerly line of Lot 18, Block L, RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS, and westerly of the southem extension of the east line of Lot 10, Block L, RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS ADDITION, Anoka County, Minnesota.

JORGENSON - MAYOR 37 City of Fridley Land Use Application SAV #99-06 October 6, 1999 GENERAL INFORMATION SPECIAL INFORMATION Applicant: City of Fridley Requested Actions: Vacate a portion of Cheryl Street.

Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N: Single family & R-1 E: Single family & R-1 S: Single family & R-1 W: Single family & R-1 Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Use of property is consistent with Plan. Property History: � 1922 - Riverview Heights is platted. Legal Description of Property: See Attached Council Action: October 25, 1999 Public Utilities: Located near property. Transportation: Property is accessed from Broad Ave. Physical Characteristics: Portion of street to be vacated has a steep grade, covered by lazge trees. SUMMARY OF REQUEST The City is seeking to vacate an undeveloped portion of Cheryl Street, and divide the vacated properiy amongst sutrounding land owners. �� • SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS Due to the following factors: • Not possible to connect Cheryl Street to East River Road; • Sunounding properties take access from Broad Avenue or pover Street; • Neighboring properties have been using the unimproved Cheryl Street as their private property for a number of years; • A stub street with no installation potential leaves too many unanswered questions, and the potential that at some point in the future the City could receive a petition to improve that short segment of street, which now would serve no purpose. City Staff recommends approval of the street vacation. (Portion of Cheryl to be vacated) Staf�Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin SAV #99-06 ANALYSIS The City is seeking to vacate an undeveloped portion of Cheryl Street , as the City has determined that this portion of Cheryl Street will most likely never be built due to topographic constraints. The Planning Commission recently approved SAV #99-04, in which Cheryl Street was vacated befinreen Lots 1-9, 28,29„ Block L and Lots 1-3, 25-32, Block M of Riverview Heights. Staff would recommend that the remaining undeveloped portion of Cheryl Street be vacated from the Geis property west to Broad Avenue. The request for SAV #99-04 has prompted City staff to examine the potential future use of the undeveloped portion of Cheryl Street, east of Broad Avenue. Due to the steep slopes and the location of Springbrook Creek, Ciry staff has determined that it would be highly unlikely that the City would have any desire or need to install Cheryl Street as platted. Since the entire undeveloped street has been enjoyed as private property for a number of years, and the additional property given back to neighboring properties would not create a great additional property tax burden to neighboring properties, staff recommends that Cheryl Lane be vacated in iYs entirety between Broad Avenue and the Eastem most edge of the Geis property. A stub street with no installation potential leaves too many unanswered questions, and the potential that at some point in the future the City could receive a petition to improve that short segment of street, which now would serve no purpose. RECOMMENDATION FOR SAV #99-06 City Staff recommends approval of this proposed street vacation. � � � qTY OF FRIDLEY TO: AGENDA ITEM CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 1999 WILLIAM W.

This project began due to the lack of a working product from the previous imaging system, and after approval of the city attorney to begin the process. At the beginning of this project we discussed the goals and scope of the project, as shown in Attachment 1. We searched the Internet to find companies providing imaging or document management soflware programs within the scope of the project. In addition, we contacted other communities to find out what they had done with imaging and what systems they were using. After digesting all of the information we had collected, we contacted suc companies and requested a corporate demo of their product as well as a site visit to a company using their product. All of the companies provided a corporate demo for their product and were all very helpful. The key feature of an imaging system is that all scanned and electronic files imported into the system allows the users quick access to documents/records by the use of a keyword or phrase search from any PC or laptop via the network. In addition, more than one user may access the same document at the same time. The system is modular based with a wide selection of add-on modules to fit the needs of the City allowing the system to grow in the future. Because the full scope of the project is well over $25,000, it was necessary to prepare a Request for Proposal (RFP). This RFP was advertised in the Fridley Focus and mailed to eight potential bidders. Of these eight bidders, four responded to the RFP with a bid at the bid opening on August 16, 1999. After an extensive evaluation, as shown in Attachment 2, we determined the bid should be awazded to ANII Imaging Systems, Inc. for $97,372.00. 56 !_ � � Electronic Imaging and Document Manage Goals The main goal is to merge technology and records management activities to a city-wide level to bring more efficiency to local government and accessibility of public data to the public. In achieving this goal we also: A. B. C. Enhance service to internal and external users in the City of Fridley. Reduce cost of storage, supplies, space and labor. Incorporate other soflware applications into the system for shared user access and faster retrieval. D. Improve public accessibility to records E. Allow easier back-up documentation for off site storage and disaster recovery. F. Improve workflow efficiency In addition to these goals we also need to consider the following implementation factors we have identified: A. To establish a new policy on administrative guidelines for use of the system. B. The training of employees, and possibly the public, on use of the system. Scope of Project The scope of the project consists of the following: 1. Scan/Image To scan original documentation while using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to allow Full Text Retrieval (FTR). 2. COLD To import other electronic data, records and documentation to allow easier retrieval and access of reports while reducing the need for storage (i.e., HTE, GIS, etc.). 3. Accessibility 4. Workflow 5. CD Maker To allow employee and public access to public data through the use of a web browser. To increase productivity of projects requiring multiple approvals or recommendations. To provide public data with imaging viewers on a CD to allow off site use (i.e., auditors or disaster recovery). 57 1999 Electronic Imaging and Document Management System Bid Evaluation Sheet All bids will be evaluated on a scale of 1-5: 5 — exceeds needs 3 — meets needs 1- does not meet needs 0— not addressed in bid Attachment 2 ADV Document Mid America Software System Capabilities and RFP Factors Solution AMI Systems Tailors .. , €z� � '�s� �'�Y � o J � 3` €� � ;,� ,�,R,�� `' , "9 . �,�* .2��-` +a4O�f?ss_sm_. „a�, � �a a H- .��" r, , ,,, , a,s, .,— .,a ._r_ ,,.� �. � ..n �. .„ ;'- , .xC... _.aF ° . ,,� ._. _ ....,,....:.

At the October 1 l, 1999 Public Hearing, Council had questions for Staff. The attached memo from Community Development answers those questions. Since the last Council meeting, three property owners have paid their pending weed assessments. These properties have been removed from the assessment roll and are not included in the resolution. RDP/me Attachment 67 : AGENDA ITEM CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 1999 CIT1f OF PRIDLEY DATE: October 20, 1999 TO: William Burns, City Manager ,�,,��' FROM: Barbara Dacy, Community Development Director Scott Hickok, Planning Coordinator Missy Daniels, Planner SUBJECT: Weed Abatements As part of the weed abatement process the City notifies property owners each year that lots need to be maintained. Some owners do not comply with the letters and the City must abate the weed nuisances. Many of the same properties are repeat offenders each year. The owners of these properties are billed for the cost of the abatements plus 25 % for administrative fees. The City wants to encourage and expects private property owners to take care of their lots. Our contractor, Paul Moriarity, with Innovative Irrigation, mows our City lots, the HRA lots and the code enforcement lots. He has a regulaz bi-weekly schedule for all City, HRA, and repeat ofFender code enforcement lots that are given to him. The chazges vary by lot size and time and effort, beginning at $38 and going up from there. The charges accumulated on the repeat offender lots are consistent with amounts charged per lot in years past. The difference is that now we are placing the repeat offenders on a regular schedule for mowing. 61 S` throu�h 62nd Wav at Ashton and ERR — Mavnard Nielsen � Mr. Nielson was charged for the size and complexity of his entire fields. He was not charged according to tax parcel number. When Mechell creates her memos for assessments, she must include the tax parcel identification numbers. I do not use these when contacting the contractor. He charges based solely on the job, not the number of parcels included. He would not know there were eleven parcels associated with Mr. Nielsen's property. 52°d Avenue — Paul Johnson After tallting with our contractor and reviewing amounts charged in years past for this lot, and amounts charged this yeaz for similarly sized lots, the conclusion is that Mr. Johnson would have been charged $76.00 per lot whether Cheapo's small neighboring lot had been mowed or not. The size and maintenance of the Cheapo lot would not have been enough to increase the price another level or drop it back a level. Admittedly, though, Cheapo was not notified. The amount charged to Mr. Johnson is the minimum charge for this type of lot and the contractors time and effort.

Burns, City Manager ��j'v Rick Pribyl, Finance Director Deb Skogen, City Clerk October 20, 1999 Petition No. 8-1999 A Petition Proposing the Repeal of Ordinance No. 1130: An Ordinance of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, Amending the City Code to Include a New Chapter 409, Entitled "Franchise Fees" On August 30, 1999, a Referendum Committee submitted their intent to circulate a referendum petition proposing the repeal of Ordinance No. 1130: An Ordinance of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, Amending City Code to Include a New Chapter 409, Entitled "Franchise Fees" along with the five names required of the Committee. Section 5.10 of the Fridley City Charter requires the petition be signed by at least 15% of the registered voters as of January lst of this year and be submitted before the ordinance takes effect. On January 1, 1999, there were 17,136 registered voters, therefore, 2,570 signatures would be required. The ordinance would take effect on October 13, 1999, if the petition were not submitted by October 12, 1999. The City Clerk received the Referendum Petition on October 8, 1999, thereby suspending the ordinance until the verification process is done. Upon a thorough review of the number of signatures received, there were 3,694 signatures. A final verification of the petition names, addresses and signatures, shows there are 3,157 valid signatures. Approximately 537 names cannot be used because the voters names axe not on the master list, are registered at the wrong address, have signed the petition more than once, signed the petition for their spouse, did not give an address, or did not sign the petition. Staff recommends a motion receiving Petition No. 8-1999 a Referendum Petition proposing the repeal of an ordinance to assess a franchise fee to gas and electric services as detailed by Ordinance No. 1130 approved by the City Council on August 9, 1999. 75 � � CR7 OF FRIDLEY TO: FROM: DATE: AGENDA ITEM CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 25, 1999 William W.
