MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, 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 7:33 P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioners are seeking a special use permit to allow trailers to park in
the rear portion of the Knights of Columbus property at 6831 Highway 65 on a temporary basis
for charity work. Code requires a speciai use permit to allow trailers for use by a fraternal
organization for fund-raisers, provided the trailers are screened from right-of-way and adjacent
land uses. They also need to meet the stipulations and not impact parking. The petitioners
agree to all stipulations. Staff recommends approvai with the following stipulations as trailers for
use by a fraternal organization for fund raisers are a permitted special use in the R-3 zoning
district:
`�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 17, 2001 PAGE 2
1. The number of trailers shall not, at any time, exceed three (3).
2. The trailer size shall not exceed Minnesota Department of Transportation standards for
enclosed trailers.
3. The trailers shall be the enclosed-type allowing contents to be screened on site and from
adjacent properties.
Ms. Savage asked if they had heard from the neighbors.
Ms. Stromberg stated they only heard questions for clarification.
Mr. Kondrick asked how long the trailers could be kept there.
Ms. Stromberg stated they would be allowed primarily for the distribution of Qwest phone books
and that would be on a temporary basis.
Mr. Oquist stated that temporary should be defined.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the petitioner could answer the question as to how long the
distribution takes.
Mr. Kuechle asked if this was part of a recent text amendment.
Ms. Stromberg stated that it was part of the recent text amendment in July or August.
The petitioners, Roger Avery and Don Ziegler, Knights of Columbus, stated that Qwest uses the
lower level of the building. They distribute phone books from the trailers and go door to door to
deliver them.
Ms. Johns asked how long the process takes.
Mr. Ziegler stated that it takes about two months once per year.
Mr. Oquist asked if the stipulations specifying only three trailers is okay.
Mr. Avery stated that it takes three trailers.
Mr. Kuechle stated they need to specify how many days they need. Is 60 days or 75 days going
to work?
Mr. Ziegler stated that 75 would probably work.
Mr. Avery stated he is sure that 75 would work, but 60 would be tight. They do not want the
trailers any longer than they have to be either. The funds for this go to charity and they
appreciate the ability to do this.
Ms. Lindsey, 6840 Brookview Drive, stated her question was the definition of "temporary" and
whether Qwest is going to be the only one doing this kind of thing. Would this open the doors
for other companies to store items? She is satisfied with the 75 day time limit.
Ms. Savage stated it does not sound like this would open the floodgates for other storage. It
was specifically requested for only Qwest.
2
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 17, 2001 PAGE 3
Mr. Johnson stated his concern is if tractors hooked onto these trailers would be running aii
night.
Mr. Avery stated they would not be. It is like a temporary warehouse for just the trailers.
Mr. Johnson asked if it would go exactly 75 days at a time.
Mr. Avery stated that it could be a little over or under 75 days one time per year. They do not
want the trailers any longer than they have to. The trailers are set back as far as they can get
them in the parking lot.
Mr. Johnson asked if it wouid be from February to mid-Aprii.
Mr. Ziegler stated that is correct.

MOTION by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, 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 7:48 P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner is seeking a special use permit to construct a 676 square
foot accessory building at his residence. The accessory building would be primarily used for
vehicle parking. Code requires a special use permit to allow accessory buildings other than the
first accessory building over 240 square feet. The total square footage of accessory structures
shall not exceed 1,400 square feet. The total square footage of the existing garage, shed, and
the proposed accessory structure is 1,290 square feet. The proposed garage wiil be accessed
from the east side of Hartman Circle. Staff recommends approval with the following stipulations
as second accessory buildings over 240 square feet are a permitted special use in the R-1
zoning district:
1. The petitioner shall install a Code-required hard surface driveway within 12 months of
the issuance of the building permit.
2. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
3. The structure shall not be used for a home occupation or living area.
4. All vehicles shall be stored on a hard surface as approved by the City.
5. Total square footage of all accessory structures must not exceed 1,400 square feet.
6. The garage shall be architecturally compatible with existing home and finished with the
same siding and color scheme.
Mr. Kondrick asked if any neighbors objected.
Ms. Stromberg stated that some neighbors expressed concerns over an increase in traffic or a
possibie home occupation or change in neighborhood character. Staff didn't identify any
adverse impacts on the neighborhood due to the granting of this special use permit. The
petitioner plans to use this structure for the storage of cars he coliects.
Mr. Oquist asked if the entrance to the garage wouid be on the east and it would be a short
driveway.
Ms. Stromberg stated that is correct.
The petitioner, Mr. Cupryna, stated he has three cars total along with his sons, and he just
needs somewhere to store them. He has no problems with the stipulations.
Ms. Greshik, 121 Hartman Circie, stated that Mr. Cupryna would like to put stucco on the
garage and upgrade the house to stucco in the next two to three years. The house is wood
siding now.
Ms. Savage stated they wanted the garage to be architecturally compatible with the house.
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 17, 2001 PAGE 5
Ms. Greshik stated it would match the house and have the same roofline. She built an extra
garage last year, and she has a stucco garage and house.
Mr. Kuechle stated the concern with that stipulation is that they do not want a house that looks
good and then put a tacky storage building next to the house.
Mr. Cupryna asked if it would be okay.
Mr. Kondrick stated it wouid be as long as the house is upgraded to stucco within the next few
years.
N1s, Savage asked if any neighbors had any problems with this.
Mr. Cupryna stated oniy one neighbor had questions.
(�1r. Steve Ling, 120 Hartman Circle, stated that he wanted to know if the fence was going to
stay up.
Mr. Cupryna stated it would.
Mr. Cupryna stated his fence is a six foot high privacy fence' and, basically, you cannot see
back there.
Ms. Savage stated that stipulation #6 could be changed to: "The garage shall be architecturally
compatible with the existing home."
Ms. Stromberg stated that would be acceptable.
MOTION by Mr. Kuechle, seconded by Mr. Oquist, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE

REQUEST
The petitioner, North Air Home Association is seeking a special use permit to allow trailers
to be parked in the rear portion of their property on a temporary basis for charity work.
ANALYSIS
The subject property is located on the east side of Highway 65. Located on the property is
an 8,600 square foot building. The original building was constructed in 1965, with an
addition constructed in 1974.
Knights of Columbus Buiiding
Trailers for use by a fraternal organization for fundraisers are a permitted special use in the
R-3 zoning district, provided the trailers are screened from the right-of-way and adjacent
land-uses and do not adversely impact parking and meet the attached stipulations.
In the past, the Knights of Columbus has allowed USWEST to use a portion of their parking
lot for temporary storage of a semi trailer. The trailer functions as the distribution
warehouse for the latest phone books. The volunteers come to the site, pick up the books
and leave to deliver them. The yearly distribution of the phone books allows the fraternal
organization to raise additional money to supplement their charitable contribution budget.
This special use permit will allow the Knights of Columbus to continue this charity event.
City staff hasn't received any negative comments from neighboring property owners.

REQUEST
The petitioner, Stanley Cupryna is seeking a special use permit to allow the construction of
a 672 square foot second accessory building. The building will be used for vehicle
parking.
ANALYSIS
The property is located on Hartman Circle, with the home being "squared up" to and
fronting on the north side ofi Hartman Circle. The existing home and single stall garage
were built in 1958. A variance was granted in 1969 to reduce the side yard setback to two
feet for a garage addition.
Existing home and attached garage
Accessory structures over 240 square feet are a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning
district. The existing garage is 504 square feet, the existing shed is 110 square feet and
the proposed accessory structure is 672 square feet. The existing garage and shed, plus
the proposed accessory structure are a total of 1,290 square feet, which is 110 square feet
less than the total allowed by Code.
The proposed garage location meets all setbacks and lot coverage requirements. City
staff has received comments from two neighboring property owners. Their concerns were
that an additional garage may cause an increase in traffic patterns, may harbor a possible
home occupation and may change the character of the neighborhood.
13
Staff has not identified any adverse impacts on the neighborhood from the granting of this
special use permit and construction of the garage. The primary use for this structure is to
store cars collected by the petitioner. The petitioner plans to keep the privacy fence intact
around the property, with a gate that will open to the proposed garage in the rear yard.

William W. Burns, City Mana�er �����
H�
Scott J. Hickok, Community Develogment Director
SUBJECT: 2002 Livable Communities Act, LCA, Local Housing Incentives Program
Each year the ��tetropolitan Council asks for a resolution from communities to renew
their commitment to be invol�ed in the effort to provide affordable and lifestyle housin�
for metro are� residents. A resolution has been attached for Council's revie�v and
approval.
ISSUES
What does this commitment mean:' :�s part of the Livable Communities �ct Legislation,
the vletropolitan Council provides to each community an Affordabie and Life-cycle
�Iousin� Opportunities Amount (ALHOA). The ALHOA is the minimum amount of
local discretionary expenditures to assist with the development or preservation of
affordable and life cycle housing. It is not a grant from the Livable Communities Act.
The ALHOA is derived from the formula presenbed in law ineluding market value, tax
capacity, and tax rates by the County Assessor. In order to continue to participate in the
program, communities must expend at least 8�% of their ALHOA obligation for that
year.
Some cities have an ALHOA fiaure of �0, because there is not a big difference in the
range of values of their housin�. The majority of Fridley's housing stock was built at the
same time and of similar values; therefore, our ALHOA has been �0. For the first time in
2002, the Ciry will actually have a do(lar value over $0. The City of Fridley's 2002
ALHOA figure is S 96.00. This means that we will need to spend �81.60, to meet our
obligation. The reason for this is �ve have added some hi�her valued housing in our
community, and the range of values has been broadened as a result.
As a community, we have some flexibility in determininQ �vhich local expenditures fulfill
the f1LHOA contribution. Esamples of how �ve can meet our commitment include our
local dollars committed to housing assistance, developnlent or rehabilitation efforts, and
(ocal
15

P.�GE 2
housing inspection and code enforcement, or local tas dollars to support to the Housing
and Redevelopment Authority (HRA).
With our stronQ housing programs and initiatives, we will have no problem meetina our
aLHOA erpectations.
What are the incentives for participation? As a participant, the City of Fridley has access
to approximately �1� million for housin� development, clean up of polluted sites for
business and housina development, and mixed-use and mixed-income development. We
have taken advanta�e of those doltars in the past on the Onan/i�lurphy contamination
c(ean-up project. In that instance our involvement in this program gave us access to over
� 100,000 in clean-up funds.

SNOW REi�iOVAL OPERATIONS POLIC[ES AND PROCEDURES
The Fridley Public Works Department is engaged in a continuing effort to provide improved snow removal
services, and yet keep expenses in balance with the cunent budget appropriation. For street snow removal,
the City currently deploys 18 pieces of equipment, 11 major and 7 minor. Each of the 10 snowplow
districts plus the south industrial area has a major piece of equipment dedicated to clearing snow from its
roadways. These 11 major pieces of equipment are made up of 5 dump trucks with one-way plows and
wing plows, 1 dump truck and 2 pot patcher trucks with one-way plows and underbody plows, and 3 loaders
with directional plows and wing plows. Six of these trucks are also equipped with sand spreaders for use �
when ice and slippery conditions exist. The 7 minor pieces of equipment are used to supplement the major
equipment and to cleaz cul-de-sacs, dead end streets, improved alleys, municipal parking lots and concrete '
sidewalks. These 7 pieces are comprised of 5 4x4 pickups, 1 1-ton 4x4 truck and 1 sidewalk
plow/snowblower.
The Public Works Director and Superintendent of Public Works have overall responsibility for snow and
ice control operations. The Street Supervisor has direct responsibility for supervising the day-to-day
operations, such as determining when to call out manpower, equipment needs, ordering rnaterials, etc. The
Street Supervisor, along with the Superintendent, utilizes weather services and reports, police reports,
citizen input and consults with the Director when necessary to determine when to initiate the snow plowing
operation.
Our policy is to begin snow removal operations after the snow storm has subsided, normally in the early
morning hours. However, if the storm ends in late evening, the crews are called out in an attempt to clear
redline collector routes by morning rush hour. If a storm is predicted to last unreasonably long, or heavy
accumulations appear imminent, full snow plowing operations begin on the redline collector routes in eight
districts when accumulations become hazardous for driving. Based on different storm situations and
severity levels, the starting time frames are flexible. For blizzard or high wind storms, plowing does not
commence until the storm subsides. For economy purposes, weekend snow storms will be reviewed for
impact and delay in starting times to minimize overtime costs.
Whenever ice or slippery conditions develop, sanding crews are dispatched to the six sanding districts (see
attachment A- Sanding Districts). Sand and salt mixtures aze spread over ice or slippery areas. The sand
provides an abrasive to help melt the ice. We are cunently using straight salt in the Melody Manor, Rice
Creek Plaza, Rice Creek Tenace, Sylvan Hills, Hyde Park, Christie and Florence Park neighborhoods. Salt
is less effective below 20 degrees F, therefore, sand may be used to a limited degree in these areas if
e�treme cold follows an icing condition. The Public Works "on call" employee upon notification of
slippery conditions by the Police Department is authorized to respond with up to two additional personnel
to sand or salt slippery areas. If more personnel aze needed, the "on call" employee will notify the Public
Works Superintendent or Street Supervisor of the need for additional personnel.
When snow removal operations begin, redline collector routes are plowed first. (See Attachment B- Redline
Collector Routes map). It takes approximately 4 to 6 hours (depending upon the snowstorm) to complete
these routes. These streets have been declared redline routes because they allow residents and emergency
vehicles faster and better access to the highways and into all areas of Fridley.
The City is divided into ten snow plowing districts after the redline collector routes are plowed. (See
Attachment C- Snow Plowing Districts map). In each district, there are four alternating starting points.
2�
After each snow, the starting points will change. It takes approximately 6 to 8 hours to complete snow
plowing operations on the remaining streets. This results in providing clean, safe streets 12 to 16 hours after
an average snow storm.
There are 86 cul-de-sacs and 35 dead-end streets in Fridley. It takes considerable time before the smaller
and specialized equipment can complete the cul-de-sac areas. A snowplow may complete the regular street
and a portion of the cul-de-sac area. The major portion of the cul-de-sac will be plowed by the special
equipment within the total time of the snow plowing operation.
Concurrent with the plowing of the streets and cul-de-sacs, the sidewalks, improved alleys and municipal
parking lots are also plowed. We do not plow bikeways or asphalt paths, we only clear concrete sidewalks.
Cleanup operations begin on the next normal working day after the snow removal operations have been
completed. This includes cul-de-sac clearing and hauling, intersection clearing, sidewalks, traffic light
areas, bus stops, and winging back on boulevards
The snowbird vehicles parked on streets during a snow storm create problems for snow removal operations.
City ordinance prohibits vehicles from parking on City streets from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. and during any
snow removal operation from November 1 to May 1 of each year. There is currently a Zoning Text
Amendment before the City council to change the ending date of the Winter Parking Ban from May 1 to
April 1. This change will take effect by the end of the year if there is no major opposition. Drivers report
snowbirds to the Police Department. Depending on available police personnel, tickets are issued, if the
vehicle is not removed. Vehicles that are blocking the street are towed away. Snowbirds that are still
parked when cleanup operations begin are towed and impounded under the direction of police personnel.
The past nine years, Park Construction, has supplemented the City of Fridley's plow crews in Industrial
Districts 2 and 4 with graders. We will use them again this year.
For a major storm, over 9 inches, our alternate plan comes into effect. The City is sectioned into 9 districts
(see Attachment D- Emergency Snow Removal Plan) and the personnel are established into two 12 hour
shift crews. The redline streets are plowed first and then the remaining streets in the district are plowed.
The major difference is only one pass is made down the center of each street initially. Once all streets are
opened, the crews then go back and start clearing the roads full width. This continues until all the streets
are cleared by rotating the crews through their shifts.
MnDOT is responsible for clearing TH 47 (University Avenue), TH 65 (Central Avenue) and I-694. Their
policy is black pavement and run teams down the highway as the snow storm progresses.
Anoka County plows East River Road, the 44th Street bridge, Main Street to 57th, 57th to University, 49th
between Main Street and University, Mississippi Street, Osborne Road, SSth and Old Central. The County
also varies its starting points and attempts to clear to black pavement.

EMERGENCY SNOW REMOVAL PROCEDURES
1. We differentiate between a"normal snowfall" and what we would call an "emergency snowfalt." A
"emergen�y snowfall" is a snowfall of 9 inches or more that is projected to fall within a 24 hour period.
2. When there is a projection of an emergency snowfall, the snow plowing procedure wil( begin when there is 6
inches of snow on City streets. The Police Department will have the responsibility for notifying the Public
Works Department of the existen�e of 6 in�hes of snow on the streets.
3. Once the plowing for an emergency snowfall has been decided, Public Works employees wi(l be divided into
two 12-hour shifts beginning at the time they are called out.
4. Each shift will consist of eight employees who will operate five dump trucks and three front-end loaders.
Each group of eight emp(oyees will be assigned fio one 12-hour shift.
In addition to the eight employees assigned to each shift, another employee shall be assigned as needed to
address particular problems. He may, for examp(e, be assigned to digging out cul-de-sacs, plowing
sidewalks, and plowing City parking (ots.
The storm and/or any other circumstances surrounding the storm will dictate the use ot any additional
employees. These employees will also be avai(able to assist the Police and fire Department with emergency
operations (i.e., police calls, medical and fire emergencies).
5. The Police Department will take the primary responsibi(ity for responding to questions from citizens. it
was agreed that the Police Department personnel will be updated approximate(y every two hours.
Personnel will keep maps and be responsible for plotting the progress of the snow remova( �rews as
reported.
6. The Public Works Superintendent has the responsibility for updating the recording machine on a remote
basis. Paul will provide information indicating the progress and general location of the City's snowplows to
provide �allers with information regarding the City's snow emergency operation.
3. As the plows are working during a major snowfall, they will make an initial pass in ea�h direction through
redline streets and then residential streets. Efforts toward plowing curb to curb wil( not be made until al(
streets have been opened to traffi�. It is understood that 'there wi(l be difficulties with cul-de-sacs and
driveways being plowed shut on a number of o�casions and with cars being parked on the streets.

Change Order No. 2: ST 2001 - 1
PWO1-100
The attached chan�e order No. 2 to Street Improvement Project No. ST. 2001 - 1 is for

�873,4�6.00 on May 21, 2001. Change order No. 1 on July 23, 2001 increased the contract by

This memo is to request the City Council approve the health insurance changes
proposed at the Oct. 15, 2001 Conference Meeting, in advance of the adoption of
the budget so that contracts can be prepared and appropriate notifications given to
carriers and employees in time for the Jan. 1, 2002 renewal date. These options and
rates have been negotiated for the benefited-eligible, non-union employees and
those eligible and continuing on COBRA.
At the request of Council that night, I had our benefits consultants (Financial
Concepts, Inc.) research further options to determine if we could expect any
additional savings.
They returned with a two options: Option 1: Medica (MIC 2) would generate a
savings of 10% on premiums, but would require a significant jump in the co-pay
(from $15 to $20/visit), the hospitalization would then be lowered to 80% (instead of
100%); and the emergency room cost would jump from $50 to $70/visit. Option 2)
Medica Elect (ME), would also generate a savings of 10% in premiums, and would
require that employees move to a smaller nefinrork (only 50% of the providers listed
would be eligible.) The rest of the ME plan would mirror Medica Choice Select (the
recommended choice).
Our consultants recommend that we not adopt either of the two cost-savings
options. From their perspective, the cost savings to the City would not be worth the
dramatic increase in employee costs.
Since the cost of the two alternatives do not seem to be in line with benefits, I
recommend that the City Council agree to provide Medica Choice Select under the
following terms and conditions:
• Page 1

City Councii Approval
Proposai for Heaith Insurance-2002
Nov. 5, 2001
Page 2
1) Effective Dec., 31, 2001, abandon the option to continue with a seif-funded
health insurance plan and return to a fully-funded product, effective Jan. 1,
2002.
2) Purchase necessary Terminal Liability Insurance to cover the City's exposure
on any outstanding claims (estimated cost of $169,000) at the
recommendation of Financial Concepts, Inc.
3) Accept Medica as the new carrier through Dec. 31, 2002 and offer Medica
Choice Select (MCS7) as the sole product.
4) Approve the monthly premiums: $293.79 for individual coverage and $881.38
per dependent coverage. This coverage includes the cost to exit self-funded
plan with a Terminal Liability Option and any estimated outstanding or
expected claims needed for the run-out coverage. (These rates are those
that were presented at the Oct. 15 conference meeting and represent no
additional impact to the budget that was already discussed. )
5) Maintain current employer contribution at the following levels: 100% for
individual health option and 80% for dependent health option. Dental
coverage would remain at $15 per month per employee, regardless of which
level of coverage or plan they select. The City currently pays for $4 per
month per employee for Basic Term Life Insurance. (See the attachment for
breakdown of rates.) Maintain alternative options to decline coverage and
elect cash ($234 per month) or 10 days of Annual Leave.
I will be available for questions or concerns at the Council Meeting, Nov. 5, 2001.
Thank you for your help and guidance on this effort.

Re: 5801 - 2nd St. N.E. Fridley, MN 55432
Dear Resident:
For the past three years, there has been a City ordinance regarding No
Parking from 2:00 a.m, to 6:00 a.m. during the months of November lst
through Aoril 30th of any year.
Our parking lot area accomodates about 6 to 8 cars - if there are more
cars belonging to the res.idents, then the situation presents a hardship
for all residents and also for the snow plowing service that removes the
snow from the parking area.
C
I plan on sFeaking with the Council person in your taard and also attending
a City Council meeting to voice this hardship. I also suggest that each
of you call the Council person, Ann �3olkcom, phone ��763-571-2026 and voice
your opinion in the hopes that this ordinance may be modified for the better
of everyone concerned. In addition, please review Paragraph 1�15 of your lease
perfiaining to parking.
During this interum period, and to accomodate all residents, we will permit
parking on the grass that is adjacent to the dumpster in the rear and is
facing north of our propertya I have requested Mike Carlson to designate
tliese areas. As soon as I am made aware of the results of the Council
meeting� I will be back in touch with you.
I am sorry for any inconveniences this has caused and ask for your cooperation
with each other under the present circumstances.
espectfully,
/

SUBJECT� Revisions to Chapter 113 Solid Waste Disposal and Recyclinq Collection
Background
On September 10, 2001, the Ciry Council held a public hearin� regardinc proposed chan�es to Chapter
113 of City Code. This is the chapter that pertains to garbage and recycling regulations in the City of
Fridley. Several chanaes to the draft code revision were discussed at the public hearin�, and staff made
some chan�es to the draft based upon the comments received. The City Council then reviewed those
proposed chan�es at the Fust Readin� on September 17. After further discussion, the Ciry Couneil moved
to table this item at the September 17, meetin�. Staff has now been directed to bring this item back for
continuance of the first reading.
The changes staff has made to the draft code since the September 17 meeting are shown by underline and
strilce out on the attached copy. Those changes include:
1. Added a front yard setback definition (relates to new sentence in Section 113.07 (2))
2. Added a defuution of licensed Solid Waste Haicler
3. Slightly chan�ed wordina of Recyclable �Liaterial and Recycling definition to remove the
reference to the word recycle
4. Corrected interchangeable use of terms like hazaler, collector, and provider to hauler
�. Combined Sections 113.04 and 113.0� regarding garbage container specifications, removing
separate requirements for commercial-type containers and reinstating the residential 32-gallon
size restnction
6. Chan�ed reference to tight-fitting lid to close-fitting, fly-tight lid
7. Removed the restrictions about storage of yard waste out of view between collections
8. Clarified lan�ua�e related to allo�vable plant screening of enclosures
9. Chan`ed the residential waste container-screening requirement to only disallow containers in the
front vard setback bet�veen collections. In other words, containers can be allowed visible from
52
the street, but must be placed behind the front line of the building line closest to the street
10. Removed the reference to co-composting taken from State Statutes
1 1. Removed the 12-month time frame restriction on construction containers
12. Condensed �vording on what types of property compostina is allowed
13. Added a requirement for haulers to submit a descnption of the containers they provide
customers at time of licensin�
14. Clarified the lan�uage restricting haulers from leaving carts in the street
W'hile staff is readv to accommodate Council's position on container size, we have some serious
concerns about the impact of the new lan�uaQe on staff time. Under the revised language, residenrial
�arba<ye containers may be no laraer than 32 gallons unless staff approves the lar�er size. If staff's
involvement in approving larger containers is limited to approving `'container plans" that are filed by
haulers at the time of licensing, there will be no problem. If, however, the language generates hundreds
of calls from indi�zduals who ask us to exanune their containers or to intervene in disputes with haulers
over container size and type, the impact could be ovenvhelming. Our general preference is not to
become involved in these kinds of issues. To the extent that we are asked to become involved, we are
inclined to stay out of them as long as the hauler has an approved container plan and is abiding by it.
Our hope is that this arranQement is acceptable to Council and that it will work. We also hope that if it
does not work, that Council will be willina to consider future chanaes to the ordinance.
Staff also tivishes to point out that we have not incorporated any lanb age in the revised ordinance that
specifies a specitic model or type of container. This decision was based on recent discussions with haulers
who point out that smaller companies tend to buy their containers locally rather from major national
suppliers. The requirement that containers be a specific make and model or its equivalent could place a
hardship on these smaller companies. Our preference would be to rely on our common sense evaluarion of
"hauler plans" for containers. If they are manufactured for refuse storage and meet other container
requirements contained in this ordinance we are likely to accept the containers specified in these plans.
Recommendation
St��ff requests feedback from the City Council on the revisions to Chapter 113 at the continuance of the
First Readin� on November 5. Staff will then proceed �vith the proposed ordinance as directed by Council.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 5, 2001
cmr oF
FRIDLEY
DATE: November l, 2001 ��
TO: Wiliiam W. Burns, City Nlanager ��?���
FROM: Scott J. Hickok, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Comprehensive Ptan — Final Resolution
On December 13, 1999, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing staff to submit the
Ciry's amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. The Metropolitan Council reviewed the draft,
suagested minor modification, and then unanimously approved the Final Draft Document on June
7, 2001. The news is great in spite of the fact that the approval was accompanied by seven
recommendations. These recommendations have been attached for Council's review. An
executive suinmary of the Comprehensive Plan has also been included in the Council reading file.
That execurive summary is scheduled to appear as a feature in the City's October Newsletter.
MET COUNCIL RECO�I��IE�IDATIONS:
Place Comprehensive Plan into effect with no plan modifications.
This is a standard Metropoiitan Council recommendation that accompanies their approval of a
City's Comprehensive Plan.
Remove references to Northtown LRT from plan.
This recommendaCion (note) is to the Metropolitan Council and identifies that, unlike our last
plan, this plan does not emphasize the Northtown LRT route. Of course, we do have some
discussion of Commuter Rail in the cunent Transportation Chapter.
Upon approval of City's Comprehensive P(an and prior to the construction of any
extensions or additions to its disposal system, the City must submit a Comprehensive Sewer
Plan (Tier II Plan) to the Council for final approval. The comprehensive sewer plan shall
be consistent with the City's approved comprehensive plan and reflect any modifications
recommended by the Council.
The Tier II Plan has been prepared alonQ with the Sanitary Sewer Chapter of the Comprehensive
Plan. They are really one and the same� Once the City Council approves the Comprehensive
Plan, staf� will bring back the Sanitary Sewer Chapter and ask the City Council to approve that
chapter (separately) a second time. On its second time through the Council review and approval,
63
Comp Plan Final Resolution
Page 2
November l, 2001
the Sewer Chapter will be identified as our Tier II Plan and a separate resolution of that approval
will be required in accordance �vith State Law.
As for the impact on projects like the sanitary sewer project for the Varichak and Nedegaard
Plats, Met Council staff has indicated that we are okay. Those projects can happen without a Tier
II Plan in place. The sewer expansion for Phase II of the Medtronic Campus, however, will need
a Tier II Ptan in place prior to commencement of that project. The City Council can expect a Tier
II Plan approval resolution on one of its next agendas.
Provide an annual update of their progress with its Inflow and Infiltration (I!I) goals.
It will not be an issue for us to prepare a report. According to Jon Haukaas, Public Works
Director, the information exists and is required to be submitted anyway. The Met Council staff
recommendation simply echoes that requirement.
That the �Ietropolitan Council recommend to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR)
that the Mississippi River Corridor Plan is consistent with regional objectives and state
Critical �rea Standards as defined bv Executive Order 79-19.
As the stipulation identifies, this is a Metropolitan Council responsibility that typically follows
the approval of a City's Comprehensive Plan.
That the �Ietropolitan Council recommend plan conformance to the National Park Service
with the �Iississippi tiational River and Recreation Area Comprehensive Management
Plan.
This item is a standard Metropolitan Council Responsibility once a plan is approved.
That the City be supported in its efforts to rehabilitate housing, and pursue redevelopment
opportunides related to the �tedtronic headquarters and Northstar Corridor.
This is Standard Metropolitan Council language that accompanies a City's approval, plus
NorChstar Corridor language.
CITY STAFF RECOMivIENDATION
Staff recommends a three-riered approval. First, approval of the Comprehensive Plan and its
supporting resolution as presented. Second, staff recommends that the City continue its
commitment to recognize the Comprehensive Plan as its tool to guide future decision-making.
Third, staff recommends that the Comprehensive Plan be revisited regularly and that changes to
the language be made, as needed, to reflect the most current policies of the City.
