Commission meeting minutes as presented.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Preliminary Plat, PS #01-02, by George Bateson, to allow five single
family lots, generally located at Heather Place and Central Avenue:
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick to open the public hearing. Seconded by Mr. Saba.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:32 P.M.
Mr. Bolin stated that the petitioners are George and Anne Bateson and Dennis and Mary
Pietrini. The petitioners are seeking to replat the Heather Hills North Addition into five lots in
order to construct five single family homes. The petitioner had originally platted the Heather
1
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 2, 2001 PAGE 2
Hills North property into four single family home lots in 1999. City Code required that lots in the
R-1 District be a minimum of 75 feet in width with a minimum total lot area of 9,000 square feet.
The proposed replat of this addition has lots ranging in width from 76 feet to 184 feet in width
and an area from just under 15,000 square feet to over 26,000 square feet in size. The home
that is currently under construction in this area by Kootenia Builders will meet all the setback
requirements if the plat request is approved. Staff recommends approval with stipulations.
Mr. Kondrick asked if any neighbors had any complaints.
Mr. Bolin stated that only one neighboring property to the north needed clarification of the
notice.
The petitioner, George Bateson, stated that their mission is to develop Heather Hills North in a
fashion consistent with the quality and character of Heather Hills. They are changing strategy
only with five lots. Their commitment to the mission is demonstrated by the fact that they are
committed to building a parade of homes for the fall.
Ms. Savage asked if he had any problem with the stipulations.
Mr. Bateson stated he did not have problems. The drainage plan, the lot line, and grading and
has not changed, nor have the contours or the drainage.
MOTION by Ms. Johns to close the public hearing. Seconded by Mr. Oquist.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:39 P.M.
Mr. Kondrick stated that he has no problems with this.
Ms. Savage and Ms. Johns also agreed.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Saba, to recommend approval of PS #01-02 with the
following stipulations:
1. The grading and drainage plan shall be approved by the City's engineering staff prior to
the issuance of building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding
properties.
2. The petitioner shall provide easements as shown on preliminary plat drawing.
3. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable.
4. The petitioner shall pay required park dedication fees prior to issuance of building
permits.
5. The petitioner shall pay all water and sewer connection fees.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Bolin stated that this request will go to Council on May 21.

2. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Vacation, SAV #01-04, by Forrest Harstad, for the vacation of a
drainage and utility easement, and to rededicate the drainage and utility easement
generally located at 5490 East Danube Road.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Johns, to open the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:39 P.M.
Mr. Bolin stated that Mr. Harstad, the property owner, is seeking to vacate a five foot portion
along the northerly edge of the existing utility easement and then grant an additional five feet of
utility easement to that southerly edge of the existing utility easement. There is a storm sewer
pipe going through the property, and it is only 3-4 feet from the southerly edge of the easement
right now. By vacating the five feet on the northern edge and rededicating it on the southern
edge, the pipe will be centered within the easement and it will make it easier for the City to get
in and do any work on the pipe in the future. Only the easement is moving, not the pipe. Staff
recommends approval, because the current storm pipe is not centered within the existing
easement and the new easement provides the City with the room necessary to access the pipe
for maintenance.
Mr. Kondrick asked if this the vacation makes it easier for the City.
Mr. Bolin stated, yes, because they would not be forced to go over part of the petitioner's yard,
causing possible issues with the restoration of property.
ThP petitioner, Forrest Harstad, stated that Mr. Bolin did an excellent job of explaining this
request.
Mr. Kondrick asked if there were any problems with the stipulations.
Mr. Harstad stated he did not have any problems and understands that this is part of the legality
of the process.
Mr. Rick Schroeder, 5497 East Danube Road, stated his property is right across the street from
this property. He stated it is apparent that this hearing does not pertain to the total scope of the
project, but it is evident that the neighborhood feels that there are many concerns. This project
has come before the City Council and has been denied due to watershed issues. That is a
significant issue that should be considered in view of the recent history in Minnesota with
changes in the water table and general concerns of flooding.
Mr. Bolin stated there have been past proposals, with the most recent proposal of building a
home on each lot and filling in part of the wetlands with a replacement plan. Because of these
past requests, in 1995, the City came up with steps that the developer would have to meet to
build on this lot. That involved conducting a hydrologic and soil studies and combining finro lots
into one lot. The petitioner has met all these requirements.
Mr. Oquist stated that the issue before us is strictly the vacation request.
3
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 2, 2001 PAGE 4
Ms. Savage stated the neighborhood has a right to understand the issues. The petitioner has
met the requirements, but there has been no finding that there would be an adverse effect on
the environment.
Mr. Schroeder asked who the hydrologist was.
Mr. Bolin stated the petitioner chose, Ted Mattke, the hydrologist.
Mr. Schroeder stated they have had two floods in the last few years, and the hydrologist survey
was conducted in one of the drier year. Is this legitimate for an assessment?
Mr. Bolin stated this past year has been different than most. The hydrologist is a registered
engineer and has a Ph.D. in hydrology.
Ms. Patricia Freeburg, 5557 East Danube, stated that she is concerned with the hydrology
report. You can always find an expert who will agree with what you want to do. She would love
to see an impartial person conduct a current report. Who is this person and what is his/her
expertise?
Mr. Bolin stated the man's name is Ted Mattke, and he is self employed. The City has not used
him for other things but has reviewed his work on other projects.
Ms. Freeburg asked if this issue could be considered more at another time pertaining to the
drainage and water issues. She is concerned about the manner of soil borings that were taken
that seemed to only have been taken from the surface of the dumpings on the lot.
Ms. Savage stated those concerns could be addressed with the City Council. The next step
then would be legal action if so desired.
Mr. Schroeder asked if the local watershed district is involved at all.
Mr. Bolin stated he did not believe the watershed district is involved.
Mr. Schroeder stated the property backs up to a pond that he believes is considered a wetland
area.
Mr. Kondrick stated that one of the prerequisites to building is that you cannot have any more
water running off your property than there currently is. These concerns will be presented to the
City Council who will consider all these issues and there will be a chance for comments at the
City Council meeting. They should have some good answers by then.
Ms. Ann Ulrich, 5505 West Danube Road, asked why they are discussing the easement
movement prior to a house plan being presented for approval? Why is the easement being
moved?
Mr. Kuechle stated that moving an easement makes it easier for the City to work on it if need
be. That is the whole purpose of the easement--to have the legal right to go in and repair
without having to ask permission of the property owner first.
Ms. Ulrich asked if the City is saying there is potential for work on the easement here.
�'
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 2, 2001 PAGE 5
Mr. Bolin stated, no, it is for work in the event that a pipe collapses.
Ms. Ulrich asked why they are looking at this before a house is constructed.
Mr. Bolin stated that the petitioner wanted it moved in the event that a house is built on the site.
It gives the Ciry more room to get in there if they need to, and it also gives the developer more
flexibility for positioning the house.
Ms. Ulrich asked if this could be dealt with when the house is approved to be built.
Ms. Johns stated this is only a paper issue right now.
Mr. Botin stated there is no cost to the City involved with this. It is not related to the building
permit. There are a number of ways the petitioner could build on this property without this
easement being moved.
Mr. Peterson, 5495 West Danube Road, stated that he wanted to present some pictures of the
neighborhood in the back of the pond that exists. The pictures also depict the construction site.
The existing easement for the drainage ditch probably would not hold a building there even if it
is moved. The back of the property drops right into the existing water. Any building will disturb
the water to some degree. He objects to moving the easement and creating a different way to
put that house in that spot.
Karl Breitbarth, 5477 East Danube Road, stated he is concerned about the drainage issues,
and he wants the house to sit on the lot in a manner consistent with the rest of the
neighborhood. Moving the easement allows the house to sit in a way that would not look right in
the neighborhood. Right now, they have a nice neighborhood with distinct types of homes that
are set back the same.
Ms. Savage asked if Mr. Breitbarth was opposed to building any home there.
Mr. Breitbarth stated that would be nice; but if there is, he would like it set back appropriately on
the lot.
Mr. Norm Schultz, 5535 West Danube Road, stated that the pond and the drainage system is
connected to other ponds in the area. This year water is encroaching on all of them with their
sump pumps running constantly. If there is some disturbance to the land in question and runoff
is not taken into consideration, or how the building is built, there could be some severe
problems to the rest of the neighborhood.
Ms. Sue Williams, 5568 West Danube Road, stated her property is on the lowest level on the
pond that drains into the pond by the Harstad property. The water was within six inches of
coming into our basement. The drain pipe did not work, and the City had to flush it. It must be
plugged somehow. The engineers do not always know what they are talking about, and she
does not trust the engineers to know that the pond he wants to build on will hold enough water
for the levels that are coming up. If a house is built, how could they accommodate more water'?
They were told by the Harstad family that a lot of these lots were unbuildable. A home was built
on every lot except this last one. There is no justice in this world. This is the third time the
neighbors have had to come back on the same issue. How many times do they have to waste
their time stopping this man from doing something he should not have done. He promised the
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 2, 2001 ____ ___ PAGE 6
citizens he would never do this in the first place. If she has a flooded basement, the City should
pay for it.
Ms. Lesia Zownirowycz, 5527 East Danube Road, stated she viewed the plans for the structure
Mr. Harstad is proposing to build on two combined lots. If the neighborhood would like to
purchase the property, it would cost $300,000. Why is the City of Fridley combining these two
lots with one lot that is considered totally unbuildable? Mr. Harstad is planning a house with a
four-car garage. According to the assessment office, Lot 6 is currently valued at $1,000,
because it is considered unbuildable. Why are these lots able to be combined? She would
recommend that these lots remain as single lots. Mr. Harstad should be required to build a
home that is compatible with surrounding structures. She asked the Commission to table this
issue and then drive by this neighborhood to view these two lots. The neighbors are proud to
live in these homes. Mr. Harstad's comments that he will build the biggest and best house on
these lots truly concerns the neighbors. They are proud of this neighborhood and would like to
continue this tradition. She has lived here for 16 years.
Ms. Savage stated the Commission members have driven by to look at these lots and the
neighborhood, and they all agree that these are beautiful homes. Could Staff address the one
issue of combining of two lots?
Mr. Bolin stated combining the two lots leaves no question that the second lot is unbuildable by
combining it with this property. The builder can only get one home rather than possibly a
second one down the road. Many of these unbuildable lots become tax forfeit and become a
burden for the Ciry because the City has to maintain them.
Mr. Rick Nye, 5477 East Danube Road, stated he has a petition of everyone in the
neighborhood asking the City to give this more consideration because of the impact to their
homes with the watershed. The lots have been dumped on.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to receive the neighborhood petition.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Ulrich asked who would be responsible for these watershed issues if the house was built
and who should they contact?
Ms. Savage stated that the best thing may be to attend the City Council meeting or contact the
City for more information.
Ms. Ulrich stated that two days ago a former owner of her house who lived there for 20 years
came to visit them. This former neighbor implored her and her husband to go forward with
these concerns. He walked her through the yards where it has been proven where the water �
would flood the homes. Mr. Harstad told her that he would bring fill in onto this property to build
this home. He would not put fill in the pond but would need to fill the lot. The land caves down
after the property line so possibly retaining walls would need to be put up. That, however,
would affect the natural runoff of water into the pond and force it into the ground that would
affect the water table.
Mr. David Blank, 5544 East Danube Road, stated that the Springbrook Nature Center is
drowning, and it is due to the development around there. Each time a building is built, the
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, MAY 2, 2001 ___ PAGE 7
ground cannot take the water that runs off the roofs. That wiil cause more problems. The new
home that Mr. Harstad intends to live in will not have water in the basement, because he is not
building a basement under that home. He himself has remodeled his lower level and will be
very unhappy because of the building on that lot.
Mr. Schroeder stated that this is a contentious issue, and it is reasonable to consider other
people's opinions other than the hydrologists.
Ms. Janet Steppe, 5528 West Danube Road, stated that the pond behind her house fills to the
top level, and she is concerned that this will severely affect the water drainage.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 8:24 P.M.
Ms. Savage thanked the residents for coming, and this discussion will be on record for the
Council meeting for May 21.
Mr. Kondrick stated that it is nice to be aware of all the issues this evening, but this will be
considered further as the building permit is requested. He does not have any issues with the
vacation request.
Mr. Saba stated he does not either. If he did live in that neighborhood. he would be voicing
these same concerns.
Ms. Johns stated that she does not have a problem with the easement issue. It is probably a
good move as far as the City is concerned for maintenance of the pipe. The water concerns will
be listened to by the Council. Any water coming into anybody's home is a concern for any
neighborhood.
Mr. Oquist also agreed. He suggested that the neighbors contact Councilmember Wolfe with
the concerns so he can be prepared. Will there be any special use permits or variances for
building on the property?
Mr. Bolin stated that it would go straight to building permit.
Mr. Oquist stated that the house may be built too close to the street and not in line with the rest
of the properties. They have to have a certain setback from the street.
Mr. Bolin stated the house is required to be set back 25 feet from the street.
Mr. Kuechle agreed with approval of the vacation.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Saba, to recommend approval of vacation request,
SAV #01-04, with the following stipulation:
1. The petitioner shall not construct any buildings or other permanent improvements over the
easernent area.

Staff Report Prepared by. Paul Bolin
PS 01-02
ANALYSIS
Petitioner is seeking to re-plat the Heather Hills North addition into five lots, in order to
construct five single-family homes. The petitioner had originally platted the Heather Hills
North property into four single-family home lots in 1999.
The new plat, Heather Hills North Addition II simply gives the petitioner an opportunity to
provide the City of Fridley with one more housing opportunity. Lacking vast expanses of
vacant land, it is vital that the City maximize the use of sites in order to provide new home
ownership opportunities in the City of Fridley.
The home currently under construction by Kootenia Builders, will meet all setback
requirements if the plat request is approved.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approva/ of this preliminary p/at request, with stipulations.
Proposed lots exceed the size standards required by the City of Fridley Zoning Code.
Fridley requires that lots in an R-1 district be a minimum of 75' in width with a minimum
total lot area of 9,000 square feet. The proposed lots range in width from 76' to 184' and in
area from 14,971 square feet to 26,578 square feet.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that the following stipulations be attached to the preliminary plat
approval.
1. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the
issuance of building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding
properties.
2. Petitioner shall provide easements as shown on preliminary plat drawing.
3. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable.
4. Petitioner to pay required park dedication fees prior to issuance of building permits.
5. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees.

Kate Drewry
Rice Creek Water Shed District
3585 N. Lexington Ave.
Arden Hills, MN 55126
Dear Ms Dre�vry:
I am writiug to tell you how deeply concerned we, the residents of East and West Danube Roads, are about
the proposed development of Lots 5 and 6 of North Innsbruck Second Addition by Mr. Forrest Harstad .
These t«�o lots are adjacent to 5544 East Danube Road and development of these properties will adversely
effect drainage and water level of two ponds, one west of and behind the lots and tl�e other across East
Danube to the east. The west pond drains into the east pond via a culvert and the east pond drains to the
north eventually to Rice Creek.
1. These two lots were designated as "unbuildable" in the 1970's. At that time Mr. Keith Harstad,
promised the homeowners on West Danube that they would never be developed because if they were, there
would be water in the basements of those homes all ready built. Also at that time the west pond was
nearly twice as large but has been (illegally) partially filled and therefore has even less capacity now to
hold water.
2. The house to be built is 28 x 75 feet with a tuck-under four car garage with a �vide cement apron to tl�e
street. Run off from rain (or melting snow) will be forced either into the east pond via the storm sewer or
directly into the pond to the west. There will be no filtering of the water through the soil to slow down its
entry into tl�e ponds. Both ponds are at capacity now.
If water is forced directly into the west pond, the pond level will rise to the west and into the yards of the
West Danube homeowners, as there is a tugh bank on the east side of the pond to contain it there. If water
enters the east pond at a faster rate than it does now, as it would if more water flows into the storm sewer,
there could be water in East Danube basements as well. There simply is no place to store more water
except in the surrounding ground, wluch is saturated.
3. Mr. Harstad took soil samples two years ago. I personally watched these samples being taken. There
are 6 to 10-foot high mounds of dirt that have been dumped over the years on the front side of these two
lots. The borings for the samples were done from the tops of these mounds rather than at normal ground
level. I iind it hard to believe that these are very accurate samples of soil type.
Because of these concerns, we request that you do not permit building on these lots on East Danube Road.
Thaiilc you for your consideration.
Yours truly, C �_°`c �"'"�`""� �

I am unable to attend tonight's hearing. My name is Teri Raymond and I
live at 5595 West Danube Road. My yard backs up to the pond and I am
low. The first week in April I contacted the public works department to
express my concern about the large amount of snow we still had and the fact
that we were expecting heavy rains. My concern was that the drains were
fully open so the pond would drain as it properly should and I would not get
flooding in my back yard and basement. The public works deparhnent
advised me that they had just been out to check the drains to make sure they
weren't clogged because someone was thinking about building on the empty
lots on East Danube Road. It was also expressed to me during that
conversation that "that was not going to happen." Unfortunately, with the
rainfall on April 22 I did have water coming into my basement. I do have a
sump pump and drain tile. The building inspector came out on April 23 and
noted that my yard up to my house was saturated. I am already very
concerned about the lack of water drainage in this area and believe this is
something the City should look into as soon as possible. I was recently
apprised that there had been illegal dumping of fill-in on the land that is in
question. It is imperative to the neighborhood to remove this illegally
dumped fill at this time to re-open the proper area for the drainage of the
pond. Tha.nk you for your consideration. I think it is importa.nt for you to
know that there are already water problems in the area before they are added
to.

Section 211.07.21 requires drainage utility
easements of 20'.
Zoning History:
• Lots are platted in 1973.

Public Utilities:
Water and sewer aze available near the site.
Transportation:
East Danube provides vehicle access to the site.
Physical Characterisrics:
Area is currently a mix of trees & wetland.
SUMMARY OF PROJECT
Mr. Harstad is seeking to vacate a five foot portion
along the northerly edge of the e�sting utility
easement, and then grant an additional five feet of
utility easement to the southerly edge of the existing
utility easement. This will center the existing pipe
within the easement.
SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS
City Staff recommends approval of this utility
easement vacation and re-creation.
A 20' easement is required for all drainage
easements. The property currently contains a 20'
easement, but the eacisting storm pipe is not
centered in the easement. The vacation and
recreation of this easement will provide the City
room necessary to more readily access the pipe for
maintenance.
CITY COUNCIL ACTION / 60 DAY DATE
Staff Report Prepared by. Paul Bolin
SAV #01-04
THE REQUEST
Mr. Harstad is seeking to vacate a five foot po�tion along the northe�ly edge of the existing
utility easement, and then grant an additional five feet of utility easement to the southerly
edge of the existing utility easement.
ANALYSIS
The existing storm sewer pipe is not centered within the current easement. The existing
pipe sits only 3.5'-5' from the southerly edge of the current easement. The granting of this
easement vacation and re-creation will provide the room necessary for the City to excavate
and repair the pipe, as needed. The City's Public Works Director has indicated that it is in
the best of interest of the City to grant this partial easement vacation and re-creation of a
20' easement, in which the pipe would be centered (See attached memo).
PROPERTY HISTORY / NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS
This property was platted in 1973 and the two lots comprising this property have remained
vacant over the years. There is a designated wetland area along the westem portion of the
property, which collects area run-off and slows the water before it enters the storm pipe and
continues to Farr Lake.
In 1986, a permit was issued to do some fill work on this site. In 1994, a proposal was
submitted to do extensive filling on the southerly lot and obtain variances for home
construction. This was ultimately denied. During this variance and wetland replacement
plan process, the neighborhood brought fo�th concerns of illegal dumpin� and filling on the
site. It was determined by Peterson Environmental Consulting, that any fill placed on the
site between 1989 and 1993, was placed over the portions filled in 1986 and had no further
impact on the wetland area.
After investigation by City Staff it was determined that the property could be built on,
without impacting the wetland, if certain criteria were met. The criteria were spelled out in
the attached letter, dated October 24, 1995, from Barb Dacy to Paul Harstad. In essence,
to build on the property one must perform a hydrologic analysis identifying impacts to
adjacent properties, complete soil borings and testing, combine the two lots into one tax
parcel, and meet with surrounding owners to review the results of the study. Forrest
Harstad has met all criteria, spelled out in this letter, for the issuance of a building permit.
Neighborhood objections and/or denial of the easement vacation and re-creation will not
stop Mr. Harstad from obtaining a building permit, provided the proposed home meets all
building and zoning codes.
Though the petitioner's right to a building permit is in no way related to this easement
vacation request, staff has heard from nearly the entire neighborhood on this request. The
neighbors have stated that they have enjoyed the scenic beauty of this undeveloped lot,
viewing the ducks and other wildlife, and that they are concerned that a home constructed
on the property will impact the wetland and possibly flood out their basements. The
petitioner's hydrologist has indicated that this is not the case.
. �
The neighbors have also indicated that the petitioner's home may not meet the covenants
filed with their subdivision. The City does not regulate or enforce covenants. Any violation
or disputes over covenant requirements wilt need to be worked out befinreen Mr. Harstad
and the neighbors in court.
The Planning Commission hearing is to determine whether or not the easement should be
moved to center our pipe within it. The neighborhood is viewing the public hearing as their
opportunity to prevent the City from issuing a building permit and to prevent Mr. Harstad
from building.
