Councilmember Bolkcom asked Ms. Chevalier who interested persons could contact for information on the Senior Safety Camp. Ms. Chevalier stated that they can call Connie Thompson or her. It is a county-wide program. Mayor Jorgenson asked if it was open to all the other communities as well. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 ' PAGE 4 6.

Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. OPEN FORUM, VISITORS: Ms. Joan Olson, 6320 Van Buren, stated that the referendum that was just passed was going to be sent to the Charter Commission for clean-up. She wanted to know what that meant and what the status was. Mayor Jorgenson stated that the language is going to be cleaned up, not the intent. She said there will be another meeting in December regarding this issue. Ms. Olson stated that this is not what she voted on. She voted on what was presented to her. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11. 2000 PAGE 5 Mayor Jorgenson stated that they need a definition of "discretionary monetary spending." The Charter Commission is also going to be looking at this so everyone understands what this term means. It will then come befare City Council with a public hearing, which will be posted and published in the newspaper. Ms. Olson asked when the public hearing would be held. . Mayor Jorgenson stated that it depends on when the Charter Commission is finished looking at it. It would probably be March before the City Council can look at it. � Ms. Jerri Lynn, 7303 Taylor Street, stated that on November 20, a reading was scheduled before the Council on the proposed Park Closing Ordinance to make sure that displaced mobile home owners are compensated fairly for relocation expenses. The ordinance was not read that night. She was not aware that it would not be read that night until she got to the meeting. The City Council received a copy on November 20 of the letter dated November 16 from William Burns, the City Manager. Attached was a copy of a draft of the City Park Closing Ordinance and written in the corner by hand was a note saying: "Park Plaza Estates version." Councilmember Barnette stated that he was confused by some items in her letter. He thought some of the items had been handled already in negotiations. Ms. Lynn stated that Ms. Dacy explained that the draft of the ordinance received by Council- members on November 20 was a draft of the ordinance of the things that they would like to see in a park closing ordinance. If the hand written note was not on there, the park owners did not indicate that this was coming from them. Ms. Tracey Tomas, Manager of Park Plaza Estates, sent a copy of the draft that Park Plaza Estates sent to the City of Fridley. The copy included a letter with suggested changes. On November 20, that letter was not included with the packet for City Council. Confusion may have been eliminated had the document been included with the packet Council received. Mayor Jorgenson stated that the draft ordinance Council received was nat the one from Park Plaza Estates for consideration. That was the attachment they had given to Council. Council did not adopt their language. Ms. Lynn stated that the original that came from Park Plaza Estates is different from the attachment that Ms. Dacy sent her in the mail. One has italicized language, and one has red- lined language. Mayor Jorgenson stated that they received a photocopy of the document from Park Plaza Estates, not the original. � Ms. Dacy, Community Development Director, stated that both the red-lined copy and the italicized version came from Tracey Tomas. The red-lined copy and the original was done by Ms. Tomas to speed the reader's review. The italicized words are the same as the red version. i CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 6 Council's electronic mail version is the draft from staff. In the packet was a copy of the italicized version received from Tracey Tomas. Ms. Lynn asked when the italicized version was received. Ms. Dacy stated that it was received the same day she received the red-lined copy. The original was sent on purpose to Ms. Lynn with the red lined so she could see the difference between the two. The italicized copy was being used for Council. The words are exactly the same, it is just ` in a different version. The draft under consideration by the Council is the second draft dated October 27, 2000. , Ms. Lynn stated that she wished she received the italicized version because the red lined one does not copy well for the residents to review. She appreciates the fact that she received the italicized version given to the Council, although this is not what Ms. Dacy told her before. Mayor Jorgenson stated that this item was laid over until January to give opportunity to work through some of these items. If Ms. Lynn wants to work through some items, it should done with staff and brought back to Council. Ms. Lynn stated that in Paragraph C, it states "Nothing in this section is intended to prevent the park owner from obtaining economic assistance from any governmental entity to assist in the payment amounts due to displace residents." She said they should get everything entitled to them under the Uniform Relocation Act if the government in involved. None of the park closing ordinances met with the standards set by the State and the Federal government. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that staff has to work together with the owners of the property. He said Council would not get anywhere if everyone become adversarial. Ms. Lynn stated that she agreed. She was concerned that this may be a discretionary fee pertaining to the new amendment and that it might drag out for some time holding up the ordinance. She voted no for the amendment because she thought the language was vague. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 8. CONSIDERATION OF THE 2001 CITY OF FRIDLEY BUDGET: MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to waive the first reading and 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 8:15 P.M. Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that this is a maintenance budget that preserves strong City services that are provided by very dedicated City employees. The legislative context in 2000 did not have any change in State aid and the levy limits were lifted for the year 2001. There were no marked changes in limited market value and no major changes in tax increment financing laws to � CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 7 put the City at a disadvantage. The 2001 legislative session will focus heavily on tax reform. We believe that there will be a restoration of levy limits. Senator Kelly has been concerned about telecommunications legislation. That may have some impact on the cable franchise. Mandatory pooling of employee health insurance may affect homeowners in Fridley. If any tax reform proposal is approved, it will probably go away in favor of some other source of buying down the education program. If not, then the Homestead Education Tax Credit will continue to benefit. Mr. Burns stated that the Council/Commission survey process asks the department managers and staff throughout the City about their issues of concern. Those issues are translated into a survey that goes out to the Council and Commission members. About fifty people address this wide array of issues. They meet and discuss the issues, and the results of the survey lead the staff on objectives and goals. They also have an impact on the capital improvements plan revisions and budget preparation. It then comes to Council in budget review sessions. We focused on a variety of issues including self-funded employee health insurance, additional part-time IS technician, an additional Water Section employee, increased funding for the elementary after school program, funding for an additional senior program supervisor, automated meter reading, capital improvement projects, use of our Police Activity Fund money, water and sewer rates, and property taxes. Mr. Burns stated that for all funds, the City has $14,404,459 which is an increase of $1,151,241, or an increase of 8.7 percent. A lot of that is increased capital spending. At the end of last year the City took out a lot of capital spending out of the budget. If you replace that, you will have a sizable increase. What is shown is an increased spending from special revenue funds. That actually shows a double expenditure of $271,126 from the Police Activity Fund which came from the State Pension Plan. After the City transferred two other funds, it showed as an expenditure again. The increases for these budgeted funds is $334,918 after staff factored out the capital improvements increase and the double spending. Mr. Burns stated that the General Fund is $11,664,022 which is $139,368 more than what was budgeted for this year. That is a little misleading because some money has been moved out of the grant funded personnel Police Department budget over to the grant management budget. About 31 percent of the money goes to the Police Department, 27 percent goes to Public Works, Finance gets about 10 percent, and the Fire Department gets about 8 percent. The object of expenditures shows that the City spent 69 percent on employees salaries and fringe benefits, other services and charges as pertains to vendors, and contractual services with 20 percent impacted by the same inflationary pressures that our own budget is impacted by. Ninety percent of the General Fund is people in one form or another. Ten percent is spent for supplies and equipment. � Mr. Burns stated that the personal services cost of the General Fund reflects a 3 percent cost of living increase for employees. Contractual service costs have increased by 7.2 percent and ` equipment costs are down 17.7 percent. Special Revenue Funds are $1;382,837 with an increase of $466,673 that reflects the move of the grant-funded Police Department employees to the grant management fund and reflects the creation of the new police activity fund. The Cable Television Fund is at $114,481 down by $39,234. It reflects the absence of any major capital outlay CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11. 2000 PAGE 8 expenditures. This year the replacement of the projectors in the Council Chambers cost some money that the City will not face in 2001. The Grant Management Fund has a budget of $432,530, which is up considerably. A large portion is for the grant-funded police personnel. Staff had $137,636 in CDBG funding with a vast majority going for the Housing Rehabilitation Loan Program for low and moderate income people. The City has $47,371 for the HRA Housing Coordinator and the Handyworks Coordinator. The fourth special revenue fund is the Solid Waste Abatement Fund with $314,700 for recycling programs, $14,156 more than what was being budgeting for 2000. It includes a$10,000 increase for collecting recyclables in the two ' mobile home parks. Mr. Burns stated that the Housing Revitalization Fund was established by Council in 1994 for housing acquisition. $250,000 per year has been budgeted since that time. The Police Activity Fund was established for 2001 to account for expenditure of police retirement turn back money that was provided to the City by the State earlier this year. Expenditures for 2001 are $271,126. Items include youth workers to support Project Safety Net, the local share of grant funded personnel, line charges for the countywide record keeping system and other police costs that are related to current or former grant funded services and to technology upgrades. Mr. Burns stated that Capital Improvement Funds has $1,348,400, $545,200 more than last year. Typically, this range is within $1,000,000 to $1,500,000 per year. The expenditures are budgeted for buildings at $204,000, including $140,000 to carpet the Fridley Municipal Center and $25,000 for painting the interior and exterior of the Municipal Garage. The streets portion is $830,000, including $500,000 for 2001 neighborhood street reconstruction program for the Woody Lane, Hillcrest, Tennison Drive project, $180,000 for sealcoating and $150,000 for regional bikeway additions in the Locke Lake area connecting with the bikeway on East River Road. Mr. Burns stated that Parks expenditures are $314,000, including $50,000 for replacement of wiring at the Commons Park athletic fields, $57,000 for replacement of park signs, and $42,500 for correction of drainage problems at Community Park. The above items are major capital improvements. Mr. Burns stated that the fourth category of funding outside the $14,000,000 just talked about are the Enterprise Funds. The City has the water fund, sewer fund, storm water fund, and liquor operations fund. We are spending about $12,000,000 for this budget adding up to a total City expenditure in excess of $26,000,000 for 2001. The Enterprise Funds are down by about $1,500,000. The Water Fund is about $2,000,000 with more than half of the increase for debt service. The Sewer Fund is about $3,000,000, down about $81,000, attributable to MCES costs for treatment. The Storm Water Fund is about $375,000, the Liquor Operations Fund is $6,700,000 (approximately down by about $1,500,000). Staff made an adjustment in the cost of goods sold at the liquor store and now has a better handle with the new store with what is needed there. Eighty-seven percent of that budget is for cost of goods sold the amount of. $300,000 is budgeted to be transferred from that operation to the General Fund serviees in the year 2000. Mr. Burns stated that the levy is set at $4,205,000. It is $169,329 more than we certified for 200.0 It is a 4.2 percent increase in line with changes in the Consumer Price Index for the most CITY COUNCIL MEETING MIN'UTES OF. DECEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 9 recent twelve months. Factors that �affect property tax levels are valuation, changes in State ta�c laws, and levy changes for all t�ing; jurisdictions. The average Fridley home value has jumped from $111,900 for pay 2000 to $1'1.2,200 for pay 2001, or 8.5 percent. There have been no changes in State law. The impact of Fridley's levy increase in combination with the rise in valuation may take the local shaxe o:f property taxes on the average home from $230.85 in 2000 to $248.62 in 2001. This is an increase of $17.78 per year. The total property tax burden for the average value Fridley home will rise by amounts that range between $4 in the Spring Lake Park - School District to $140 in the Fridle�� School District. Much of this change is related to changes in market rate levies that were recer.itly approved in each of the four school districts for capital �� improvements. Mr. Burns stated that fund balances are not necessarily cash balances. The discretionary funds portion from the General Fund, Capi.tal Improvements Fund, Closed Bond Fund, and the Utility Funds is earmarked for coverage of liabilities, replacement of fixed assets, future capital improvement projects, working cap�ital needs, self-insurance obligations, and encumbrances. While there is an improvement for 2000 due to a one-time injection of police pension turn back money, the long-term trend is downward. The unreserved discretionary fund balances were reduced from $23,600,000 in 1996 to a projected $19,400,000 in 2001. Staff predicted that will continue to go down as more and more of the fund balance is used to balance the General Fund budget. Other considerations are the balances apply to all funds for which there are expenditures in excess of $26,000,000. They are a source of more than $1,300,000 in interest earnings. They enable the City to keep properiy ta�;es and utility rates low. They enable the City to pay for capital improvement projects as we build them. They enable the City to avoid expensive debt service and maintain a very high bond rating. Another internal economic indicator is external revenues versus expenditures. T:he external revenue sources are property taxes, state, intergovernmental systems, grants, fines, charges and all other sources of interest earnings and General Fund revenue. The expenditures since 1999 have been using huge chunks of money from the sources of revenue. This year there is almost a certainty that we will use over $1,000,000 in fund balances. Staff budgeted $1,400,000 for next year. All indications are that Fridley economy is healthy. Staff had over $100,000,000 in new construction in 2000, with fifteen permits for work in excess of $500,000. The amount of $81,400,000 belongs to Medtronic. New building is expected!. to taper off in 2001. Mr. Burns stated that the average unemployment for the first nine months was .2.26 percent, comparing with 2.06 percent for the same period in 1999. Low unemployment accompanied by a 2.8 percent increase in the numb�er of Fridley jobs between 1998 and 1999. There is an increase in 2000 of .5 percent. Job composition is changing with a loss of 3.6 percent in manufacturing jobs, a gain of 7.3 perc�ent in service sector jobs, and a loss of 1.6 percent of retail jobs. Retail sales had a 40 percent ;growth between 1996 and 1998. Expect these numbers to , level off for 1999 and 2000. Estimated market value for property values are $1,489,787,000 in pay 2000, or an 11.6 percent increase in value. Homesteaded residential property values have increased by 8.5 percent. Non-homesteaded residential property has increased in value by 18.7 ' percent. The value of industrial pro�perty has increased by 12.9 percent. Commercial property values have jumped by 10.9 percent. Crime rate statistics are not accurate for this year. The rates are down for the third year in ,a row but we are shifting from our local system of police reporting to a county-wide system rvith new software. It will be the early part of next year CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 10 before staff has crime statistics. The county reports that public assistance for Fridley families is up by 2.2 percent and 649 students are receiving free or reduced cost lunches in School District No. 14. Mr. Burns stated that year 2000 was a very good year for Fridley. Medtronic headquarters is nearing completion. The City completed many projects and continued to provide a wide array of strong City services. Many projects and continued strong services are planned for 2001. This is all at a cost of government that is the lowest in this area. Some challenges on the horizon aze • dealing with declining fund balances within the restrictions of the newly approved Charter amendment, property tax reform at the State level, other securing funding for cities. The City -� needs to secure funding for the widening of Highway 65, and many competing demands for additional resources that will be reflected in next year's planning process. Continued high cost of redevelopment is a challenge; however, staff is energetic and resourceful. Fridley has a good team of Councilmembers, Commission members and staff who are proud of our accomplishments and dedicated to moving forward to rise to these challenges and to making Fridley a better place to work and live. Councilmember Barnette stated that the budget presentation was well done. The major cost of any business, the major cost is for personnel. His tax statement for the year 2001 for Anoka County has the City portion for next year going up $8 for the whole year or .70 per month. To live in Fridley, he pays $26.25 per month for all City services. It is a very reasonable cost, and he is proud to be a part of the City Council and live in a City like Fridley. Mr. Peter Eisenzimmer, 6535 Oakley Drive, stated that he could not see where the mortgage value could be raised $8,000 every year. That is quite a jump. Council says taxes are not going up. Every time Council raises the value of the home the taxes go up. When he first moved in 1980 he paid $308 a year in taxes. His social security has not gone up that much. Councilmember Barnette asked Mr. Eisenzimmer how much his social security has gone up in the last ten years. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that it has only gone up about $200. Councilmember Barnette stated that social security in the last ten years has gone up 30 percent. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that his house is about $1500 higher in value than the home next to his, and he has less social security. His home is only 750 square feet, his neighbor's is 900 square feet, and his neighbor's taxes are cheaper. Mr. Eisenzimmer said it was not fair. Blaine has garbage and recycling included. He said he has to pay for recycling and garbage. Mr. Burns stated that was considered in the figures he gave him. Mayor Jorgenson stated that Blaine does the garbage and recycling at the same time. Fridley has people contracting with their own garbage contractors. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that should be added to the tax assessment. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MIN''UTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 11 Mayor Jorgenson stated that his house may be smaller than his neighbors, but the assessment is based on any improvements done. He could come in to the Board of Review process. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that he has been here many times, and the City does not listen to the people. Mayor Jorgenson stated that he woulld have to take the argument of the mazket value assessment of his home to the State legislature because Fridley is mandated by them to assess property at 92 percent of market value. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that the bikeway/walkway paths are to be extended, and he would like more information on that. Mr. Burns stated that they have $150,000 in the Street Capital Improvement budget for extending a bikeway. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that people from other communities use the paths, and they say that we have the nicest paths there are. They are not paying the taxes on them. Mr. Burns stated that Fridley residerits can bicycle almost all the way over to the St. Croix river on bike paths that are built by commi.u�ities all over the metropolitan area. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that he felt this was an unnecessary expense. He also said there were problems with the light bulbs on the underpass near Highway 65. He understood that they have been taken care of now. Mr. Burns stated that is Anoka Coun�ry's portion to maintain. Mr. Eisenzimmer stated that he felt 1;his item should have been placed earlier on the agenda. He would appreciate that Council would think about that next time. Mayor Jorgenson asked if the bikeway over the Locke Lake bridge was discussed in the budget- previously. Mr. Burns stated that they did talk ab�out it in previous discussions. Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated 1:hat on Monday evening, December 18 the City Council will have two resolutions. One for the property tax and levy, and the other is the actual resolution that approves the 2000 budget. MOTION by Councilmember Bi�lkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.

After discussion of what the City could do in the area, the neighbors asked that the public hearing be continued for an indefinite date later in the spring after they have a chance to talk among themselves and study more data. They have not come to a consensus of what to do yet. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that there was a meeting before that after the last Council. At that time, everyone seemed willing to work together. This should be a good project. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to continue the public hearing. Seconded by , Councilmember Barnette.

RESOLUTION NO. 110-2�000 INCREATING TAX INCREMENT FINANCING DISTRICT NO. 17 AND ADOPTING THE TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR THE GATEW��Y EAST PROJECT: Mr. Fernelius, HRA Housing Coordiinator, stated that this is consideration of the tax increment district for the Gateway East project. This would be the 17th tax increment financing district created by the City. The City complE;ted negotiations with the developer, Real Estate Equities of St. Paul. A number of issues were resolved last week, and the HRA approved a development contract at the December 7 meetin€;. The project will have 28 townhome units on the site. Construction is scheduled to begin in the spring of next year to be completed by the end of 2002. The developer will complete all the site improvements which would include the site work, public streets, utilities and landscaping. 7'hey have also agreed to pay prevailing wage to workers employed on the project. Mr. Fernelius said the need for the t;a�c increment district is to recover some of the HRA's costs related to the project. The HRA ha:, expended almost $700,000 on demolition, acquisition and relocation. The HR.A will be c,ontributing approximately $650,000 for additional site improvements and environmental rer.nediation. The factors that affect this project are location of the site, unique shape of the parcel, and the small layout. There are a number of infrastructure improvements that the HRA will have to pay for. These include street modification, utilities, and converting a former commercial u;se into a residential use, an additional factor would be prevailing wage, which is 15 percent of the developer's cost. The City is trying to improve its image along a very important corri��or and push the market in terms of creating a very nice development along an important gateway into the City. Mr. Fernelius stated that the HRA collects the difference in the taxes beriveen what the properties are generating right now and also what the new development will generate. Our estimate at this point is that the townhome develop�ment will generate about $4,480,000 of total market value translating to approximately $70,820 in new taxes. The total tax increment of the life of the district adds up to about $2,100,000. In using the present value factor that allows us to determine what that stream of income over a p�eriod of time is worth in today's dollars, it equates to about $715,000. A number of assumptions were used in preparing the analysis including a 2 percent inflation rate, and the average sales price of $160,000, which is higher than what is expected. Both the revenues and the expenses have been projected at their maximum level. The City is looking at a 2001 buildup, valuation in 2002, and collection of the first increment in 2003. The TIF plan has to be submitted to Ano�:a County and the affected school districts. The City did not receive any comments from either. 7Che City Council conducted a public hearing on October 23. The HRA acted on the developme:nt contract and approved the creation of the district on December 11. Council action this evening is the last step in the process for creating a tax increment district before it goes to the County. Staff recommended Council approval of the attached resolution which creates the tax increment financing district. Mayor Jorgenson asked where this project fits in the affordable housing goal. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11. 2000 PAGE 14 Mr. Fernelius stated that using the Metropolitan Council standazd, which is around $135,000, some units would be built in that price range, and some would be higher. The City is hitting a certain segment of the affordable housing market. The goal of the project has been to have a higher target price range. Mayor Jorgenson stated that she thought this project was going to be affordable. Mr. Fernelius stated that a certain segment will be affordable. Mayor Jorgenson asked what percentage would be. Mr. Fernelius stated that he did not have that information with him. Mr. Chris Winter, Real Estate Equities, stated that the preliminary constructions costs are estimated to be in the mid $130's to the mid $140's. Mayor Jorgenson asked Ms. Dacy what the metropolitan rate was for affordable housing. Ms. Dacy, Community Development director stated that she believes that they increased it to $134,000 for owner-occupied townhomes. Mayor Jorgenson asked if this is based on the amenities that the owner would request for their property. Mr. Winters stated that they offer an all-inclusive price with extra cost for additional options. Mayor Jorgenson asked how many units would be priced in the mid $130's. Mr. Winters stated that it has not been determined. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she thought Fridley's numbers for home costs are higher than other communities. She said she is not sure that our goal was for affordable housing here. Ms. Dacy stated that the City took a look at a number of options for this project. The demographic was to create owner-occupied housing and we also realized that there is a certain element of move-up option prevalent in Fridley. The direction was to create a project that could be successful and respond to the niche that does occur in Fridley. The other proposed for the RFP did include a number of additional units with 40 units representing density staff felt did not achieve what the Council wanted. Mayor Jorgenson asked if this was similar to the Rottlund project. Ms. Dacy stated that this is different because it is an extremely small site with 2.5 acres as opposed to 14 acres across the street. This is an oddly shaped site with a frontage road through it and commercial properties to the north and south. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MIrTUTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 15 Councilmember Bolkcom stated t11at the Christianson Crossing project was also different because a lot of rental property hacl to be moved which is different than moving commercial. There is opportunity in other azeas to do more affordable housing and more options to explore for that. Mayor Jorgenson asked what the average income to qualify for a mortgage for this townhome would be. Mr. Fernelius stated that lenders set caps of 28 to 30 percent of the income to determine the mortgage. He did not know what the exact dollar amount is. He said that staff would be happy to find that number out later. Mayor Jorgenson asked Mr. Winter i:f he had anything more to add about his project. Mr. Winter stated that they have no�t changed the design standpoint since the last meeting. It would be a three-story tuck under unit with a front elevation for the front porch and brick banding along the bottom with bay windows on the side and double caz garages. MOTION by Councilmember Billings to table this item. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, MAYOR JORGENSON, COUNCILMEMBERS BILLINGS, AND COUNCILMEMBER WOL]FE VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER BARNETTE AND COUNCILMEMBER BO]LKCOM VOTING NAY, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED BY A THREE TO TWO VOTE. Councilmember Billings stated that in this point in time the HR.A cannot sell any properiy due to the Charter Amendment pending and he does not see the rush to get into it. Councilmember Barnette stated that vvas a valid point. Mr. Casserly, City Consultant, statE�d that this issue is here because Council has the only authority of creating a taY increment district. The HRA can only request that the Council create such a district. The HRA authorized the City to redevelop contracts. At the last meeting it authorized the execution of a redevelopment contract. The HRA passed a resolution requesting Council to approve the ta�c increment district. The HR.A technically and legally can enter into the redevelopment contract. It does not really need the tax increment district because the property is in the HRA's project area where it has authority to act. The tax increment district is allowing the HRA to recover part of its public investment. There is no tax increment going directly to the redeveloper as a re;;ult of this project. All of it will go to the HRA for reimbursement for public cost already incurred. If Council does not want the HRA to recover ' the cost already incurred in the amc►unt of $700,000, it does not have to be approved. The Charter amendment has room for disrussion about whether it has application to the HRA. The • land is being sold for $1, and the HRA is escrowing funds to complete. various kinds of site and public improvements. It would requi:re a very imaginative mind to bring this within the Charter amendment. This project has a very aiggressive application. Council has complete discretion. It does not impact the HRA's ability to enter into an agreement. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 _ PAGE 16 Mayor Jorgenson stated that she thought Council did not feel comfortable in bringing the agreement. Council needs to look at the Charter issue to make sure they are not going to be out of compliance with them in creating a district. Councilmember Billings stated that the HRA would be selling the property. Mr. Casserly stated that was correct if one could construe the $1 as a sale. That was not actually put into the agreement, the City just said the HRA will convey. The City would be transferring it with the understanding that if the improvements are not made without our right of recovery, the City can take it back. Councilmember Billings stated that it does not fall under the category of discretionary charges. Mr. Casserly stated that is clearly an argument he would like to make. Councilmember Billings stated that the Charter amendment applies to all departments of the City, and subdivisions. The HRA's financial statement is co-mingled with the financial statement of the City's. The HRA's levy is a levy by the City of Fridley, not by the HRA as such. The Charter amendment does not prohibit the creation of a tax increment district. It affects the ability of the HRA to charge anyone for anything that is not a charge that was currently in place at the time of the approval of the Charter amendment or adjustment of such charges that are in excess of the cost of living. Mr. Casserly stated that he is not sure this issue could be resolved this evening. The issue previously before the Council was whether or not the City should create a tax increment district. The effect would be to allow ta�c increment to be collected to reimburse for public improvement costs. Not creating a tax increment district means there will not be an opportunity to recover the costs already incurred. The HRA has deemed it necessary to give the land away to make this project work. The City is not selling land. Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated that some of these questions are being explored as is the obligation of Council and staff to determine how the new Charter language is to be implemented. He did not have an opinion. He believed that Mr. Casserly was correct in that the creation of the tax increment district would not violate any of the new language with the Charter to his knowledge. Some possible consequences of that would raise questions. It is important to make the statement, as Council in tabling this item, that you are not making an opinion as a City as to the application of that language to this instance or other instances. Mr. Knaak encouraged Council to adopt the view that they were exploring answers to the questions being raised which is a justification for tabling it. He said that Council may be taking a position that may be construed as a legal position. These are court issues and are being actively explored. Mr. Knaak said that Councilmember Billings is stating this very well, but it is important that the City not reach a conclusion. It is not clear whether or not the Charter will impact these issues. Mayor Jorgenson asked if the City Attorney wanted clarification. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MIN_UTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 17 Mr. Knaak stated that there is no cor,nment to accompany a motion to table. He was hopeful that the underlying reason that was stated for the motion to table would be reflected in the record that it was concern about these issues, bu��t not a position being taken. He did not think they needed to pass a separate motion or resolution. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Knaak if he would have advised any Councilmember or Mr. Burns not to pass this resolution on the TIF district. Councilmember Billings stated that he believed the City Attorney's concern was that Council's reason for tabling was not tied with the Charter amendment. He made the motion to table because no councilmember was making a motion for the resolution. The subsequent discussion with Mr. Casserly was not the reason for tabling. Mr. Burns stated that a lot of work has gone into the negotiations with the developer and is a substantial investment of the City. He asked what the motion to table tonight would do to Real Estate Equities. Ms. Dacy stated that it changes the dynamics from the HRA's side and their ability to provide and to fund the project. If the issue is that the HRA is not conveying the land for a price or fee then that removes the issue for the C;ouncil. She would recommend that the item be placed on the December 18 agenda so the developer would have some direction on the project. MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to remove this item from the table. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VO'TING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOL�SLY. MOTION by Councilmember Barne�tte to approve the resolution creating tax increment Tax Increment Financing District No. 17 �and adopt the tax increment financing plan for the Gateway East Project. Seconded by Councilm��mber Bolkcom. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Knaak if there were any issues related to creating a TIF district that would violate the Charter amendment language. Creating a district would not violate the new language. Some of the things going with this will raise questions. Council will not necessarily infringe on the new language. This area needs to be studied carefully. The creation of the district is one step. The sale or charge of the land raises some issues and those issues are being explored right now. She said she can understand the desire of Council to table certain aspects of this but not necessarily the creation of the TIF district. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Knaak when he thinks there will be an answer about the legal issues related to the property itsf;lf. Mr. Knaak stated that he did not knocv. He said in his opinion it would come within the next two to three months. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 18 Councilmember Bolkcom asked when it would legally become a Council issue as far as the property, or if it was now an HRA issue. Mr. Knaak stated that the interpretation is one of the things they are involved with. Mr. Burns asked Mr. Casserly if the HRA went ahead with the development with Real Estate Equities without the TIF district, at what point the TIF district could be applied to the area. 0 Mr. Casserly stated that once the building permit is issued, the opportunity to create a TIF district is lost. Mayor Jorgenson asked when they plan to apply for a building permit. Ms. Dacy stated that she thought it would be this spring. Mr. Casserly stated that they would need grading permits before the building permit. Mr. Burns asked if there were any remedial testing or grading or building-related activities that still needed to be done. Ms. Dacy stated that the developer would conduct additional soil borings and contamination exploration. The time frame for this development is very tight. Mr. Burns stated that he was trying to see if there was any way to buy some time to get the Charter issue resolved and not cause them to lose time on this project. Mr. Casserly stated that there are a number of things that could be done. The developers would not want to proceed without a 100 percent reimbursement because they would not know if the City was ever going to do the project. The HRA will not proceed if they do not have the opportunity to recover some of the investment. Councilmember Billings asked if the HRA has site control. Ms. Dacy stated that they have site control and a title for all the properties. There are two parcels. Councilmember Barnette asked Councilmember Billings if he was concerned about the other governmental agencies. Councilmember Billings stated that his concern is the Charter amendment. He said he has a philosophical problem with selling property for $1 or giving property away. He would rather see � the developer charged a fair market value for the property. If additional subsidies are required to compensate the developer for fences, bollards, site design, elements and things like that, he �► would like to see the HRA cut the checks to the developer for that. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MIrtUTES OF DECEMBER 11, 2000 PAGE 19 Councilmember Bolkcom asked Cauncilmember Billings if he was saying that this would be easier understood by someone lookir►g at it the way he described. Councilmember Billings stated that it is easier to understand than the fact that we are giving things away. Councilmember Bolkcom stated tha.t she does not think we are giving it away, but it could be explained in easier terms for people. The Affordable Housing session she went to in Boston said to sell the land cheap. Councilmember Bolkcom did not think the City was doing anything that other communities not doing all over• the United Sates. It costs money to develop land. Councilmember Billings stated that he thought it should be clear about what it is costing. Mr. Casserly stated that in trying to analyze whether or not a tax increment district should be created is to look at the alternative uses for the property without tax increment systems. No alternative uses would be made unless the City did remediation. He said he tries to look at what could go on the site reasonably with��ut any additional land assistance. It was concluded that the City could create four duplex units and one small commercial building of about 7,500 square feet. The potential market value would be about $1,204,000. The City could then really review and spend a lot of time for the per•formance of the competing projects. As you increase the density and build a lower cost unit, you can have smaller total vestments in the site. The City looked at the expensive way, and staff concluded that this was not the direction the City was looking at going. The City could have structured this whole thing differently to have the HRA sell the land for a set price, provided the assistance through other mechanisms so the HRA could swap dollars, and we approached it ��ery up front. This product needs this kind of assistance and the City will provide this assistance ,�nd mechanism. The City has a net revenue sharing concept worked into this project. If the remediation exceeds $50,000 the HRA can decide not to proceed with the project. Cities are trying to take over commercial areas that are no longer efficient and convert them into residential area. T'hey are grappling with the redevelopment and transportation costs. Then they would have to gra�►ple with the affordable issues. These costs are nowhere out of line compared to other projects. ']Che City has spent more time than this should merit, but it is complicated because of all the issues,. The City can structure this differently but it took an awful lot of effort to make the numbers wo�rk. He thought it was what the City would want. Mayor Jorgenson stated that they ��re very appreciative of his efforts and the HRA and the developer in putting together this prc�ject. She knows everyone is doing a good job. Approving this tax increment district may cause considerable expense too. If the City was talking about 28 to 30 percent of a person's annual income they are looking at a house that would cost $135,000. There are many families coming into Fridley looking for their first home. Mr. Casserly stated that he takes this seriously and this is what he does. If someone is looking at an affordable housing component yc►u have created a whole new dimension for us. He has not heard this issue on this site. He would need to do a whole new approach. He could put more money into this and bring down the cost. You can subsidize first mortgages or many other schemes that can make things afford.able, or you just give him the money. We will recycle and get some back, but it is money. CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 11. 2000 PAGE 20 Mayor Jorgenson asked if first-time home buyer money could be applicable to this project. Mr. Casserly stated that may be. If you want to downscale the product we can do that, but then we are getting into a whole other arena. Ms. Dacy stated that the average value of a home in Fridley is $123,000. The value of this construction is not much more than the average value. The City would be offering maintenance free, townhome living for folks who do not need to mow their lawn. This offers a little bit of move-up opportunity. The project is what the Council and HRA requested. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she does not ever remember Council talking about the affordable housing project. These numbers are nothing new and have been on the table for some time. If that is the intent Council should have been pursuing this with the HRA and giving them more direction. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he agreed with Councilmember Bolkcom in that he does not remember the affordable housing issue. Councilmember Barnette stated that this comes out the same if the HRA gives the land away for nothing or sells it for money and recoups the money. The bottom line is still the same. The City will recoup those dollars in taxes. He said he would hate to see this project go away. Mayor Jorgenson stated that the question has been called. UPON A VOICE VOTE, COUNCILMEMBERS BOLKCOM, BILLINGS, BARNETTE, WOLFE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE MOTION, MAYOR JORGENSON VOTED AGAINST THE MOTION. MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED. 12.

The amount is $1,151,241, or 8.7 percent more than the City budgeted for this year. Much of the increase is attributed to $545,200 in new capital improvement expenditures and to the double spending of $271,126 from the Police Activity Fund. If staff factors out these amounts, the increase is $334,918 or 2.5 percent more than is budgeted for 2000. Staff recommended Council's approval. Mayor Jorgenson stated that she would like this item to be removed and placed after Item No. 14 of the agenda for discussion.

It provides for a four percent aost of living adjustment and a small increase in "specialty pay."

PUBLIC HEARING: 12. CONSIDERATION OF ZONING TEXT AMENDMENT, ZTA #00-03, BY THE CITY OF FRIDLEY, TO A.LLOW FOR A REDUCTION IN THE FRONT YARD SETBACK REQUIREMEPfTS FROM 35 FEET TO 25 FEET IN THE R-1 ONE FAMILY DWELLING DIS'TRICT: MOTION by Councilmember Bolkc��m to waive the first reading and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VO'TING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PIUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:48 P.M. Ms. Bulthuois, Planner/Code EnforcE�ment Officer, stated that staff was looking at reducing the front yard setback in the R-1 dist:rict from 35 feet to 25 feet with two additional minor modifications to Section 205. The firont yard setback has been 35 feet since the first ordinance was adopted in 1955. There has beer� an increased amount of building setback variance requests. In preparation for this amendment, staff researched previously granted variances, surveyed other cities, and analyzed how the chan�;es would impact lots in Fridley. Of the thirteen cities surveyed, two have a 5-foot front yard setback. Those cities are Hopkins and Columbia Heights. Eight have a 30-foot front yard se�tback and the remaining three have a 35-foot front yard setback. Ms. Bulthuis stated that the City is trying to provide more flexibility for the homeowner, provide additional living area, and rearrange�ment of the 1950's floor plan to a more current floor plan. The public has indicated a desire for a front porch to make the front yard more usable. You can also use it as a gathering space. It can also encourage residents to reinvest in their property and stay in Fridley. Ms. Bulthuis stated that the proposed change would allow residents to expand their garages from 35 feet to 25 feet but not more than five feet in front of their home. The Fridley HRA "Patternbook for New Homes" state;s that an overbearing garage can detract from the existing Fridley landscape. Five feet will still allow enough room for additional vehicles, toys, and tools, without permitting the garage to dom:inate the streetscape. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 18, 2000 PAGE 6 Councilmember Wolfe asked if the house addition in the form of a porch is acceptable. Ms. Bulthuis stated that the porch is acceptable for an addition. Ms. Bulthuis stated that two written comments were received in opposition to the amendment. The comments stated that it would affect sightlix�es and the character of the street. Staff researched and found neither that the sightlines nor the character of the street would not be adversely affected. One call was in favor of the amendment and requested that staff look into increasing lot coverage allowances. Staff looked into that and found that lot coverage would not be an issue for the majority of the homes in Fridley. At the December 6, 2000, Planning Commission meeting, the Commission unanimously recommended approval of the zoning text amendment as presented by staff. Staff concurred with the Planning Commission recommendation to reduce the front yard setback from 35 feet to 25 feet. Staff recommended that Council hold the public hearing and receive comment. Ms. Bulthuis stated that the proposed ordinance language for Section 205.04.4G would read as follows: "In the case where one of the adjacent properties is vacant, the assumed setback will be the minimum front yard setback requirement of the zoning district that applies to the property." Ms. Bulthuis stated that by amending this section, the ordinance would refer to the setback requirement of the zoning district where the potential building site resides, instead of 35 feet as seen in the current ordinance language. Section 205.04.06.A3. would change Section 205.04.06.A3(3) to read as follows: "Canopies and steps to building entrances may extend not more than ten (10) feet into any required front yard. Decks, unenclosed porches, canopies, and steps to building entrances may extend not more than ten (10) feet into the required rear yard setback and not more than three (3) feet into any required side yard, provided they do not extend nearer than five (5) feet to any lot line." Ms. Bulthuis stated that it purposely only allows canopies and steps to the building entrance to extend not more than ten feet into the front yard. Councilmember Barnette stated that in Section 205.07 there is another change. The phrase "35 feet to 25 feet" is stricken and added in is "in no case may a garage extend more than five feet from the house." Ms. Bulthuis stated that was correct. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he thought it was a great idea to be able to add a porch on to the front of a house to encourage easier ways to get to know neighbors. Mayor Jorgenson asked if a canopy area across the driveway would be possible if someone wanted to add five to ten feet on the front of the house to add a porch. Ms. Bulthuis stated that staff would have to look into that and make sure it met the building code. 0 . � . . FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEE'TING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 18. 2000 PAGE 7 Mr. Burns asked if it would still be subject to the five-foot garage extension. Ms. Bulthuis stated that it would. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if thiis was in the last newsletter. Mr. Burns stated that it was. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she felt this was a good idea. Mr. Burns stated that a video was ma�de also after they did the survey. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that a lot of people watched that. Mayor Jorgenson stated that she thought this would be an improvement for the City. Most of the variances do deal with these types of issues and this should offer more flexibility to the community. MOTION by Councilmember Bc�lkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VO'TING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE P�UBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 8:05 P.M. NEW BUSINESS: 13.

APPOINTMENT TO TH]E FRIDLEY HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY: � Mayor Jorgenson stated that Jim M:cFarland is going to be leaving the HRA. Jay Bajwa is interested in being appointed to the HRA. He has a very strong banking and financial ` background and is a Fridley resident. Mayor Jorgenson stated that she would like to recommend his appointment to the HRA. � FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 18, 2000 PAGE 8 MOTION by Mayor Jorgenson to recommend appointment of Jay Bajwa to the HRA. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. Councilmember Wolfe asked if he was the only person interviewed. Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that he was the only person that expressed interest in this position. Mayor Jorgenson stated that she has been talking to people in the community since early November about the appointments to the HRA. The appointments to the HRA have been . primarily by recommendation from the Mayor to the Council. The City has a tradition of a drawn out application to make sure that the individual has the necessary qualifications. Two others who were somewhat interested have since declined appointment. Councilmember Billings stated that Mr. Bajwa listed one of the things in his background as a member of the St. Paul Development Authority. He was wondering exactly what this organization was. Mayor Jorgenson stated that they had discussion of some of the ways Mr. Bajwa was helpful in the City of St. Paul. Councilmember Billings stated that he would like to meet the people interviewing for the Commissions because they report directly to the Council. He said he found it strange to appoint someone to the HRA without any of the councilmembers having an opportunity to meet him. Mayor 3orgenson stated that this position has been open for about six weeks. She has not heard from anyone regarding any other possible candidates. Councilmember Billings stated that Mayor Jorgenson did not advise him to search for anyone. Traditionally, this is an appointment that the Mayor brings fonvard to Council. He does not think he has ever been involved in an appointment to the HRA where the person has been a complete stranger to 80 percent of the Council. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there was an urgency for this. She wanted to make sure that the HRA has a quorum for their January 4 meeting. With none of Council knowing the person being appointed, she asked what loss or gain there would be in not appointing anyone that evening. Mayor Jorgenson stated that the recommendation came from former mayor, Bill Nee, to appoint Jay Bajwa to the HRA. Mayor Jorgenson stated that she, Mr. Burns, and Ms. Dacy trusted in his judgement. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that some councilmembers have had an opportunity to meet commission members before appointment. She thought that all of the councilmembers were going to be part of decisions and would be able to have an opportunity to speak with commission members before they are appointed. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEE'TING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 18, 2000 PAGE 9 Councilmember Barnette stated that he would like to meet Mr. Bajwa, too. Councilmember Barnette thought Mr. McFarland co�uld possibly stay for the January meeting. If he could, it would give Council a chance on January 8 to meet Mr. Bajwa. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the HRA needs someone with a financial background. MOTION by Councilmember Barnf:tte to table this item to January 8, 2000. Seconded by Councilmember Billings. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VO'TING AYE, MAYOR JORGENSON DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOiJSLY. 2. RESOLUTION NO. 112-2000 ADOPTING THE FINAL BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2001: Mayor Jorgenson stated that because of the Northstar Corridor Environmental Impact Study, there is doubt that the third rail prc►posed by the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad will occur. This would be placed on the train route to accommodate one more commuter rail train and an additional freight train. She �NOUId hate to see the City spend $150,000 on a bridge, then have a commuter rail project come; along adding a third rail and then have to remove the bikeway/ walkway out. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that they may not necessarily proceed with this, even though it is in the budget. Mayor Jorgenson stated that as long ;as this item has been budgeted for, this would automatically go forward unless someone objects. Since she will not be Mayor, she �vill not be able to address this issue at that time. She does not �Nant the public perception that the City spent $150,000 for a bridge to be removed two years down the line if a third rail is added. She is not positive that the third rail will not be an option. Councilmember Wolfe stated that he; agreed with Mayor Jorgenson. He asked how many times the City has reconstructed the intersf;ction on Highway 65 with a lot of money being spent. He asked why the City should build som�ething if it is going to be torn down. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if �there would be legal responsibility for replacement if the bikeway/walkway were to be removed. Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director stated that this is a proposed project. The bike trail extension in the budget is really only half the project. This project can only be done jointly with Anoka County. There are a lot of unknowns. Staff is uncertain of the third rail, but it is early enough at this stage where the City ��an make sure there is enough space for the walkway and a third rail at the same time. If thing,s do not move forward with Anoka County's funding, this project is not going to happen. If t:he third rail does not go in, it is not an issue. It is early enough in the planning of this proje;ct that all of these factors can be looked at and dealt with accordingly to not cause a future impact of having something built and then removed. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 18, 2000 PAGE 10 Mayor Jorgenson stated that former Public Works Director, John Flora, stated that he thought a third rail would not impact the bikeway/walkway if it went to the east. If it went to the west, it would more than likely impact the bikeway/walkway. There is so little room on either side of the tracks to accommodate a third rail .through Fridley because of the industrial development along the sides of the tracks in addition to the Community Park ball fields. If the third rail goes, the City would be looking at probably a 2003, 2004 time frame. Mayor Jorgenson said that she does not know that the issue of the third rail will be resolved before the end of the budget year 2001 when this project would be built. She said she wanted to make sure that if the bikeway/walkway was built, that the City has some resolution on the third rail so they do not have to waste $150,000. Councilmember Barnette asked Mr. Knaak if there was any obligation on the part of the railroad to try to save the City the money if this went forward. Mr. Knaak stated that there was not any obligation usually. Councilmember Wolfe stated that it would not make the neighbors happy to get a third rail. He did not like wasting money. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she thought this was so far removed and would be very involved. Mayor Jorgenson asked how far down the line the commuter rail was from happening. Councilmember Billings staied that there is some speculation that the railroad is throwing everything on the table figuring if the federal government is willing to pay the freights, they will ask for it. It is highly unlikely that the third rail will go through the City of Fridley. Mayar Jorgenson asked if it was a dealbuster for the NCDA and how they would change that. Councilmember Billings stated that in a priority listing, it is so far from being a dealbuster that it is hardly worth talking about. NCDA is are more concerned with the improving the tracks. Mayor Jorgenson asked where the third rail would go through. Councilmember Billings stated that the third rail is not something that the NCDA has looked at. The railroad has indicated that it is their wish to have it added. He does not have any details on it at all. Mayor Jorgenson stated that it is listed in the Environmental Impact Study. Councilmember Billings stated that because BNSF asked for this, the EIS is designed to deal with the impacts of everything that is being asked for so it does not slow down the process. He said that the proposed bikeway/walkway will have implications to Locke Lake as well as the 85`�' 1 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEE7CING MINUTES OF DECEMBER 18, 2000 PAG� 11 Avenue bikeway/walkway.

If there are any additional comments, Mr. Hickok, Planning Coordinator, would be the one to contact at the Municipal Center. Mayor Jorgenson asked if the video of the meeting would be replayed.

The garage in question was existing on the property prior to the petitioner's purchasing the property. Constructing their new home and new attached garage came after purchase. This property is zoned R-1, single family, as are all the surrounding properties. This Iot was created through a lot split off the home located at 6084 Woody Lane back in 1998. The home was constructed over the past few months. Second accessory buildings of over 240 square feet are permitted special use in the R-1 zoning district provided that the total square footage of all accessory buildings do not exceed 1400 square feet in size. The existing detached garage along with the attached garage has now been constructed with a combined total of 1,152 square feet in size. The petitioners have already put in siding on the existing detached garage to make it match the new home and garage. They also put a matching garage door onto the front of the detached garage and the trim around the fascia matches. 3 PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 20, 2000 PAGE 2 Mr. Bolin stated that Staff recommends approvai with stipulations.
