UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING MOTION CARRIED UNANINIOUSLY. OPEN FORUNI, VISITORS: AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE Mr. Roger Stene, 870 Pandora Drive, stated that he has lived in Fridley for 41 years and always had concerns about the water we drink in our City. He tried to use water filters but they would only last a week and then they would clog. He finally found some that would work and connected them. He removed the filter in 1994 and it was clean. That was before the City was connected to the New Brighton system. After the connection, the filter was very dirty and brown. He recently took out a water filter, and he does not know what is growing on the outside of the filter. The water has progressively deteriorated even though the City and government say it is fine. He thought the City should check the water more often. In 1980, chloramine, which may cause cancer, was put in the water. He ended up getting cancer. He is fine now but his son has a skin irritation problem that acts up when the filters need to be changed. Mayor Lund thanked him for his input and said he would refer this to City staff for further review. Mr. Buss Wagner, 181 Rice Creek Terrace, stated that the Springbrook Nature Center is costing the City of Fridley around $250,000 per year to operate. When it was proposed it was supposed to be self-sustained with grants and personal donations. He would prefer to see it used as a more profitable business such as a golf course. He thought it should be put to a vote by the citizens of Fridley. Mayor Lund asked if he would like more information from City staff. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that a fair amount is spent on every park in Fridley. Y FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 5 Mr. Wagner stated that they should have a definite count of the number of people going there per year to justify spending the money on the Nature Center. Mayor Lund stated that this has been debated since 1973. Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the City is spending $280,820 this year. Every two years a survey is conducted and one of the questions asks people whether they visit the Nature Center. The results of the last survey indicate that 30 to 31% do use it. Further, 11% attend programs held there. No other City eYpenditure is broken down on an individual basis either for expense or participation. Mr. Wagner asked when this started costing the City of Fridley money. Councilmember Barnette stated that it started three years after the referendum. Mr. Wagner stated that it may be time to have another referendum. Most people do not know that this is costing them money. Mayor Lund stated that it is only one out of 43 parks and every park is costing money. Councilmember Wolfe stated that when they do this survey maybe they should tell the residents the cost and see how differently the question is answered. Councilmember Bolkcom stated that possibly the costs for a lot of programs could be included. PUBLIC HEARINGS: 10. CONSIDERATION OF THE STATUS OF A S�IALL PARCEL OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE GATEWAY EAST DEVELOPiVIENT PLAT (WARD 1) (CONTINUED FROM AUGUST 13, 2001): MOTION by Councilmember Billings to reopen the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS REOPENED AT 8:00 P.M. Mr. Hickok stated that this is to let the public know the public hearing on this matter would be on September 10. The City is considering an amendment to Chapter 113 of the City Code which is the Solid Waste Disposal Chapter. This text amendment covers container size and placement of containers for collection. We are updating the recycling portion of the chapter also and modernizing the language. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there would be more information in the agenda packet. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 6 Mr. Hickok stated that there would be. Council will receive both ordinance amendments.

Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CONTINUED TO SEPTEMBER 10, 2001. 11. CONSIDERATION OF THE STATUS OF A SMALL PARCEL OF PROPERTY WITHIN THE GATEWAY EAST DEVELOPMENT PLAT WARD 1 (CONTINUED FROM AUGUST 13, 2001): MOTION by Councilmember Billings to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 8:03 P.M. Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that this small pieee of property belongs to the City, not the HRA. This is a small remnant parcel that remained after the University Avenue fronta�e road was vacated for the development. It is 312.5 square feet and was intended to be conveyed. It was erroneously overlooked by the surveyor and the title company. The land remains under ownership of the City and a townhome is planned to be placed over the corner of this parcel. Conveyance is important to the layout of the development. Closing on the sale of the Gateway East property has occurred and staff committed to take this to Council. Staff recommended that Council hold the public hearing, state for the record the intention to declare the land excess, and deed the land to the developer. Councilmember Billings stated that at the last meeting this was indicated to be a very small piece of property and that the City had no reasonable use for it. Mr. Hickok stated that was correct. MOTION by Councilmember Billings to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.

Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. _ UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, viAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 13. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE A�IENDING CHAPTERS 205, 206, AND 603 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE PERTAINING TO FIRE PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS: Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that this is to consider the adoption of Chapter 1306 regarding "Special Fire Protection Systems" of the Minnesota Building Code. Staff is requesting consideration of a teYt amendment to the City Code and the elimination of Section 205.04.08 of the Zoning Code called "Fire Protection Requirements" and portions of Chapter 603.03, Intoxicating Liquor. Both of those sections would be replaced by adopting Chapter 1306, entitled "Special Fire Protection Systems'' of the Minnesota State Building Code by amending Chapter 206 of the City Code. The City Attorney advised that the City's current sprinkler system legislation should not be Predinterest ofZfirenandr 1 fe safety r sprinklerssy t ms that its current state is unenforceable. In th have a proven record of reducing life and property loss. Mr. Hickok stated that Chapter 1306 of the State Building Code, is recommended by the State to communities who wish to have an enforceable sprinkler system. Chapter U06 has a minimum/maximum standard, which means that municipalities that adopt that section are not allowed to change the requirements to make it more or less restrictive. Chapter 1306 of the State Code increases the floor area for having an occupancy classification change. The only discretion the City has is the choice to make it 2,000 or 5,000 square feet for ne�v construction. Staff has chosen the 2,000 square foot option. The Fire Department can successfully handle a 2,500 square foot area without calling for assistance. Staff recommends a 2,000 square foot - requirement for sprinkler systems in new construction. Buildings with increased floor area or occupancy change will be affected. Many City permitted building projects will not be affected. From 1993 to 2000, 884 building permits were issued. Of those, only 16 would have been + affected by this amendment. Other cities in the area h�oval� St ff recomm nded approvalumbia Heights. The Planning Commission recommended app Councilmember Bolkcom asked why Columbia Heights did not adopt this. Mr. Hickok stated they are considering it, but have not chosen to adopt it yet. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 8 Mayor Lund asked if this affects a homeowner's fire insurance. Will it improve the rating for the City when outside sources review the fire code? Mr. Hickok stated that the insurance rating is predicated on a number of different thin s. The adoption of a sprinkler ordinance will have a positive effect. g Mr. Burns, City Manger, stated that it may help maintain what we have. Mr. Hickok stated that studies have shown that buildings with sprinkler systems are less damaged and insurance companies are impressed. Nlayor Lund asked if the business communities had any comments on the 2,000 square feet minimum requirement. Mr. Hickok stated that some industry owners were clear about it and seemed okay with it. MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to waive the reading and approve the ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, NIAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 14• VARIANCE RE( r u1v�;KAL H UEST, VAR #01-10, BY JAMB ARCHITECTS FOR MILLER �, TO REDUCE THE FRONT AND SIDE YARD SETBACKS `�H ALLOW THE CONSTRUCTION OF THREE ADDITIONS, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 6210 HIGHWAY 65 N.E.: 1�1r. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that Miller Funeral Home is seeking three variances: a front yard setback on the northeast side of the building from 80 feet to 58.25 feet, a side yard setback on the north side from 15 feet to 3.7 feet, and a side yard setback on the southwest side from 80 feet to 37.4 feet. This would allo�v the construction of an addition that is 3,601 square feet on the existing building. He stated that in 1963, setbacks were granted for parking stall and driveway locations. In 1967, a building permit was issued for Miller Funeral Home. In 1987, a variance was granted to reduce the side yard setback from a corner to 25 feet. In 1993, a variance was granted to reduce the side yard setback to three feet to allow the hearse enclosure seen on the north side of the building. In 1996, a variance was granted to reduce the side yard setback and additional side and rear yard variances were denied. In 1998, a variance was granted to reduce the side yard setback on the south side to 37 feet. Mr. Hickok indicated that the addition on the north side would be used for garage space. On the side yard, this would allow the construction of a 60' x 1?.65' addition to be used for storage and garage space. The north side would be squared off for more space. The front yard addition on the northeast corner would square off the notched area and the roof would continue down the front and side as well. The side yard setback would provide adequate open space around the commercial structure and maintain visibility. In 1993 a variance was granted to reduce that side yard from 15 to ; feet for the hearse enclosure. If the variance is granted, the entire length of the FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 9 building on the north side would be more intrusive to the adjacent property owner, Skyline Veterinary Hospital. Staff stipulated an additional architectural treatment be designed to add visual interest to the 120 foot featureless wall. The side yard setback on the corner lot is to create the addition which will be used for chapel �vorship, display and office space. The total square footage of the building will be 11,749 with lot coverage at 14%, well below the allowed 40%. Parking requirement is at a minimum of 66 parking spaces and currently has 83 with a reciprocal agreement with St. Phillip's Church to the south. The petitioner's summary of hardship states. Changed usage of the building to single locale requires more storage/viewing space. In the mid-1990's Miller Funeral Home, Inc., sold two of it locations, retaining only the - Fridley site. Due to this occurrence and OSHA regulations regarding embalming, they have had to maYimize the use of the space within the building. The variances would allow more efficient use of the interior for gatherings and storage." Mr. Hickok stated that at the August 8 meeting, the Appeals Commission recommended approval as three variances if they were within their previously granted dimensions. Staff has no recommendation as it is within previously granted dimensions on the site. MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to approve VAR #01-10 with the following five stipulations. 1. Petitioner shall obtain any required permits prior to beginning construction. 2. Parking lot to be restored to Code requirements for paving, curbing, and painting after the addition is completed. 3. The additions shall be architecturally compatible with the eYisting building and finished with the same siding and color scheme. 4. Landscaping on the north side of the building to be restored to Code requirements after the addition is completed. 5. Because the design submitted for the north side of the building will be 3.7 feet from the property line and will have a visual affect on adjacent properties, an architectural treatment designed to add visual interest and break-up the aesthetics of a 120 foot featureless wall shall be reviewed and approved by staff prior to issuance of a building permit. Seconded by Councilmember Billings. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 10 15. RESOLUTION NO. 44-2001 CERTIFYING PROPOSED TAX LEVY REQUIREMENTS FOR 2002 TO THE COUNTY OF ANOKA: Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated that this proposed levy complies with State law and the City Charter requirements. The total proposed levy for the General Fund for 2002 is $5,507,313. The total proposed levy is $5,613,131 with the Watershed District Funds. This is 33 1/2% higher than what was approved last year. Changes in the property tax law caused this increase. The City's HACA loss is at $1,069,173 and LGA loss is $130,781. The PERA increase is at $17,202. The proposed levy cannot go up any further, but the City has the option to reduce this as we go further into the year. The increase in the levies allowed by the State will be offset bv the reduction of the School District Levy eliminated by the State. Since 1992, we have had nominal increases in the levy. Councilmember Barnette stated that this is a result of actions by the State legislature. Mr. Pribyl stated that was correct. CPI-U is the price index for the metro area and was targeted for the Charter requirement that was initiated by the group of citizens in Fridley. We cannot increase above that without a special resolution passed before Council. We measure this on a regular basis, and 4.2% is the last annual total in the metro area. HACA is the Homestead Agricultural Aid that has been removed from City funding and is now used to fund the schools. Mayor Lund stated that if we went above the 4.2%, we would need a vote by the citizens. Councilmember Billings stated that this is the amount certified to Anoka County in September. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 44-2001. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 16. RESOLUTION NO. 45-2001 ADOPTING THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2001: Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated that the 2002 preliminary budget overall proposes to spend $15,709,956. About two-thirds is for the General Fund and the other is for Capital Improvements. The General Fund increase is $904,209, up about 7.8%. We project a cost of living cost of about 4 percent for employees. We also have a very large health insurance increase of $2;8,619. Two police officers were grant funded last year and now are funded with local money at a cost of $115,000. One person, the Fire Captain, has a cost of about $64,000. The total increase for Capital Improvements is $642,400. The budget is preliminary and will be examined by Council at the October 15 conference session. The public hearing on the budget will be held on December 3. 0 0 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 2001 MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to approve Resolution No. 45-2001 Councilmember Barnette.

SPECIFICATIONS AND VARICHAK ADDITION: 46-2001 RECEIVING FINAL PLANS AND ORDERING UTILITY PROJECT NO. 342 - Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that a public hearing was held August 13 for this project. This is for installation of sewer and water utilities to two properties that were created as part of the Varichak plat. This is a means to get utilities to those lots and move the project forward. Councilmember Billings asked if this is relative to a replat of property that was one lot that had sewer and water service to it and replatted to three lots. This would be for the two new lots? Mr. Haukaas stated that was conect. Councilmember Billings asked if manholes were necessary to make the connection. Mr. Haukaas stated that the distance from the existing public utilities is one factor. The excessive depth of the utilities requires a manhole. Councilmember Billings stated that in a typical situation, a manhole is not required. Mr. Haukaas stated that was correct. Councilmember Billings asked if the fact that the extensive cost of the manhole, this is a reason it was in the original development package for the plotting of the property a couple of years ago. Mr. Haukaas stated that the installation of utilities is something that is requested on every lot split. Councilmember Billings asked if lots are platted, the typical route is to provide sewer and water stub to the property line. Mr. Haukaas stated that was correct if it was a single plotted lot. Councilmember Billings asked if the cost would be assessed to the adjacent properties benefiting from that. Mr. Pribyl stated that was correct. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF AUGUST 27, 2001 PAGE 12 Councilmember Billings asked if the additional connections to the sewer and water would require a sewer and water connection fee. Mr. Haukaas stated that was correct. Councilmember Billings asked if the lot purchasers' request was for the City to proceed as expeditiously as possible to provide sewer and water so they can proceed forward with construction on one of these lots. Mr. Knaak stated that at least one of the landowners stated that. Councilmember Billings stated that this is not unlike a sewer and water project the City would do in an area where there was not any sewer and water. It is not unreasonable that the Citv construct this as a public utility project. ' Mr. Knaak stated that was correct. Councilmember Billings stated that this provides for the awarding of the contracts to do the installation. At a future time, when the costs are known, the Council will take action on how to recover the costs. Mr. Knaak stated that was correct. Councilmember Barnette asked if this provided for the utilities to be constructed. Mr. Haukaas stated that this orders the project. This does not award the project. There is no assessment at this point. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the interested parties in this were notified of this resolution tonight. Mr. Knaak stated that it is public record. Mr. Haukaas stated that no separate notice was sent out but the parties were aware this was before Council tonight. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there is reason to notify anyone. Mr. Knaak stated that there was not beyond what has already occurred. This came up as part of the discussion and was discussed with representatives of the parties. MOTION by Councilmember Billings to adopt the Resolution No. 46-2001.

Both of these sections will then be replaced by adopting Chapter 1306, entitled "Special Fire Protection Systems" of the Minnesota State Building Code by amending Chapter 206 of the City Code. Adopting Chapter 1306 of the Minnesota State Building Code requires any existing building increased in floor area or having an occupancy classification change to be sprinklered. The only discretion given to the City is in the 2,000 or 5,000 square foot option for new construction. City Staff has chosen the 2,000 square foot option because it is more restrictive. The Fire Department has the manpower to handle fires in 2,500 square foot building without sprinklers, anything over that would require additional fire fighting reinforcement. For example, a building at 3,500 square feet would require additional fire assistance. Adopting the 2,000 square foot option would ensure that a building of this size would have a fire suppression system. PAST COUNCIL ACTION At the August 13, 2001 City Council Meeting, a public hearing was held for ZTA #01-04. At the August 27, 2001 City Council Meeting, the first reading was held for ZTA #01-04. After reviewing the proposed zoning text amendment, the City Council recommended approval of the zoning text amendment request. The motion carried unanimously. � STAFF RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends that the City Council hold the second reading of ZTA #01- 04. Staff further recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission in approval of ZTA #01-04.

Variance #00-23 was issued to allow a building addition. The variance decreased the required front yard setback from 35' to 31' and the side yard setback for living area from 10' to 5'. The Povlitzkis are not sure they want to make this large investment in their property until Anoka County removes or improves the vacant, boarded property it owns at the corner of East River Road and Hugo Street. Over the past year, City Staff and Mr. Povlitzki have had a number of discussions with Mike Kelly of Anoka County's Highway Department. Neither the City nor Mr. Povlitzki have received a concrete answer as to the County's plan for this home acquired through ROW acquisition. The Anoka County Board transferred ownership of this property from the Highway Department to the County HRA just this past week. It will most likely be a number of months before any plans are finalized for the reuse or demolition of this vacant, boarded property. PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION City Staff recommends granting a one-year extension for VAR #00-23. : 8/2;/01 To: Scott Hickok — City of Fridley From: Marti Povlitzki — Subject: VARIANCE EXTENSION Scott, As a follow up to our recent telephone conversation , I am writing to request an extension an for our variance. In August 2000 the city of Fridiey granted us a variance for the construction of a over the garage addition & the expansion of the front entryway at 369 Hugo Street in Fridley. At this time we are asking for the one year extension on the variance. The main reason we are asking for the extension is at this time we are not sure if we want to make this large investment in our property. The reason for this indecision is the current status of another property on our block. The property in question is located on the corner of Hugo Street & East River Road and has been vacated & Boarded up for over one year. I am sure you can understand our concern. Until we see exactly what is going to happen with this property we do not believe it would be a wise investment at this time to proceed we the addition on our property ( therefore, we are asking for the extension to the variance that was granted last August). If you have any questions or you need more information please feel free to cornact me. Thank you. � . � ��' �' '�I�%�•� / �farti Povlitzki 369 Hugo Street Fridley,ll�i'�i i 55432 763-785-2012 P. S. — In regards to the vacant — boarded up property on the corner of East River Road & Hugo Street, my question to the city of Fridley is this. Can anyone vacate & board their property up in Fridley or only property owned by the county ? Vacated properties open the door to trouble, vandalism ect. ..& bring other property values down ! I am tired of looking at it on a daily basis. 0 � � cmr oF FRIDLEY Date To AGENDA ITEM CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 10, 2001 August 31, 2001 y William Burns, City Manager:if'�'r From: Scott Hickok, Community Development Director Paul Bolin, Planning Coordinator Stacy Bufthuis, Planner Subject: Final Plat, PS #01-03, Nedegaard Construction Co.

Last year, it was decided to place update of this portion of code in the 2001 Solid Waste Abatement Program Goals and Objectives. Action Taken Staff has prepared a draft rewrite of Chapter 113. Since the changes are so extensive, staff sug�ests that the current Chapter 113 be repealed and a ne�v Chapter 113 be adopted. The Em�ironmental Quality and EnerQy Commission reviewed the draft rewrite of Chapter 113 at their July 17 meeting and made some suggestions for minor changes, which staff has incorporated into the attached draft. The Planning Gommission reviewed the draft code language at their July 18 meeting. There were also some suggestions for changes at that meeting that were similar to those made by the EQEC. Both commissions recommended approval. The resulting draft is attached and is marked "draft" across the top of the pages. The public has been notified of the public hearing on this item in the August Fridley Community News, and the draft code was also mailed to the licensed haulers. Changes Proposed There are many changes proposed in the revised Chapter 113 with the follo�ving goals in rnind: 1. Protect Fridley property owners from untidy neighbors 2. Improve multi-family recycling rates 3. Provide clear language that can be easily understood and will stand up in court 4. Disguise garbage containers from the public's view 5. Reduce litter 6. Allow for future improvements to recycling services . � The most notable code changes proposed include: ■ Allowing garbage containers in excess of 32 gallons in size and allowing curbside placement of containers the day of collection, but requiring screening of such containers between collections (Sections 113.04 & 113.07.2) ■ Disallowing placement of ba�ged yard wastes at the curb more than 24 hours before collection (Section 113.06) ■ Requiring screening or enclosures for all box-type garbage containers (Section 113.07) ■ �Iore clearly defined rules for the placement, allowable size, and maintenance of a compost area ■ Taking the recycting service fee rate that residents must pay out of the code, and instead Qive the Ciry Council the authoriry to set that rate by resolution (Section 113.11) ■ Additional requirements for multi-unit building owners that make recycling mare accessible to apartment residents (Section 113.12) ■ Hauler licensina requirements are updated to match current practices and a set of procedures is established in case a hauler's license needs to be revoked. ■ Theft of recyclables ���ill no�v be considered a crime. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council hold the public hearing September 10 for this text amendment. The iirst readin� is scheduled for the September 17 City Council meeting. At the time of the second reading, the City Council �vill also need to consider a resolution setting the recycling fee that residents pay on their utility bills, which is being removed from the ordinance (see Sec. 113.11). Staff is not recommending increasing that fee until at least January 2002. 41 ORDINAi�TCE NO.
