13. CONSIDERATION OF THE 2002 CITY OF FRIDLEY BUDGET:
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing and waive the reading. Seconded by
Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE PUBLIC
HEARING OPENED AT 7:41 P.M.
Mr. Burns, City Manager, stated this is a maintenance budget and does not add a lot of new services or
programs. It supports the very strong programs we have. He would like to thank the Finance Director
Rick Pribyl and Craig Ellestad, the budget Accountant for their work in helping put this budget together.
During the legislative session this year, financial responsibility of government services was switched
around. The State took on the $900,000,000 in K-12 education, and they paid for that at a cost to local
cities by eliminating $260,000,000 in HACA statewide. They also changed the tax rate system, providing
tax reductions for everybody. The process, however, had undesirable results with respect to
0
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 3. 2001 PAGE �
redevelopment programs and tax increment financing. It will be much harder to use tax increment
financing. The City lost over $130,000 in local government aid.
Mr. Burns stated that in the planning process over the last five years, staff has used a
Council/Commission survey to identify issues. Staff develops questions relating to issues they see on
their operational horizons. The answers are compiled, meetings held, and cable television shows
conducted. There is a very thorough and comprehensive review of City issues through this process. Staff
develops goals and objectives and their annual budgets come before the Council in June during budget
work sessions. Council sees the proposed budget again in August and December. Expenditure issues
identified in this year's survey were hiring a new firefighter, adding new municipal garage facilities
including remodeling for better office/restroom facilities for staff. It also included energy efficiencv
improvements to the garage bays by adding energy efficient doors. Replacing the cast iron water main as
part of our street reconstruction project was favored and will be included in the Capital Improvements
budget at an addition of $100,000. Not everything was approved, such as winter maintenance of
bikeways/walkways. Council and the commissions decided we should not fiY the drainage problems at
Community Park East and also rejected no-fault sewer back-up insurance. Springbrook Nature Center
improvements were rejected. There are revenue issues with rising water and storm sewer rates. There are
also concerns about what to do with property taxes.
Mr. Burns stated that Table 1 in the budget message described all the funds. The 2002 budget has
allocated $14,734,000, a 2.3% change over this year's amount. The General Fund section of the budget
shows a$900,000 increase, an increase in spending in that area by 7.5%. Most reflect rising personnel
costs including a 4% cost of living adjustment for our emp(oyees and an additional cost of health
insurance for employees in the amount of $810,000. These numbers have all been rounded up or down.
The cost of the police officers whose salaries were previously funded by grants but are no longer, is in the
amount of $15,000. The cost of the Fire Captain position is in the amount of $64,000. There are five
Special Revenue Funds used to account for different types of funding and resources. Altogether we are
budgeting $1,100,000 which was reduced by 17.3% from last year. This amount reflects the Housing
Revitalization Fund and the reduction of the Grant ManagementFunds which was caused by moving the
cost of two police officers to the General Fund.
Mr. Burns stated that the Cable Television Fund is the second of two special revenue funds at $149,000,
which is $34,603 more than budgeted for this year. It includes $27,000 for equipment upgrades. The
Grant Management Fund budget is $352,504 and is $80,000 less than what was budgeted for this year. It
supports one police officer and two other grant-funded police personnel. It is also the source of the City's
Section 8 Housing Coordinator's funding, the Handyworks Coordinator out of the Senior Center, and the
Community Development Block Grant Housing Rehabilitation Fund. The amount of $125,000 has been
budgeted for that. The Housing Revitalization Fund has nothing in it because we have not been spending
the $250,000 budgeted for it. Solid Waste Abatement Fund is budgeted at $321,000. That provides
funding for the Recycling Coordinator and two part-time yard waste monitors. The bulk of the money is
used to pay for our recycling hauler. We have a Police Activity Fund which is listed as a Special
Revenue Fund. We were notified by the State that we were getting Police pension turnback money not
needed to fund retirement obligations for police officers. We have about $2,100,000 and have been
transferring parts of that to the General Fund to pay for police-related costs for previously grant- funded
employees and technical improvements. The total transfer is $303,000.
Mr. Burns stated that the budget for Capital Project Funds is $1,043,000, $304,600 less than budgeted for
2001. It is allocated among three sub-plans. One is buildings at $788,000, mostly for the garage addition.
The amount of $140,000 has been budgeted out of money for streets with another $6�0,000 for that
purpose as we(1 from State Aid. Staff is planning a$600,000 street reconstruction program for various
Fridley areas. The amount of $100,000 has been budgeted for street sealing in the west central section of
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 2001 PAGE 6
Fridley. The Parks Improvements budget is set at $109,800, with $7,000 for Commons Park parking lot
repairs, $30,000 for court resurfacing, $30,000 for resurfacing the trail around Fahr Lake, $20,000 for
replacing park signs, and $20,000 in fence repairs. The amount of $10,000 is our local match for the
Federal grant established for the pier at Moore Lake.
Mr. Burns indicated that the fourth category of funds is labeled Enterprise Funds. Water, Sewer, Storm
Water, and Liquor comprise the Enterprise Funds. The budget includes spending of over $11,000,000 in
these four areas. There has been a big drop in the liquor operations and a sizable increase in the sewer
plans. The Water Fund appropriation is $1,900,000 and is half a percent more than what was budgeted
for 2001. There will be a$104,229 reduction in debt service but a$65,000 increase in the transmission
and distribution section for contractual service items. This amount also includes a$45,510 increase in the
administrative section for the purpose of contracting with an outside carrier for a new billing process. The
Sewer Fund is at $3,300,000 and is 9.8% more than what was budjeted for this year. Almost all the
increase is accounted for by increase in disposal costs passed on by the Metropolitan Council. Storm
Water appropriation is $453,000. The Liquor Fund appropriation is $5,400,000, 18.3% less than this
year. The decrease is due to the closing of the Holly Center store.
Mr. Burns stated that another category for budgeting is for various debt service funds such as special
assessments for street reconstruction, water, sewer, and storm water projects. The amount of $180,000
has been budgeted. Another debt service fund has been set up for water system improvements at
$376,000. A third debt service funds has been set up for sanitary and storm sewer at $136,000.
Mr. Burns said that there is no lonb term general obligation debt and no debt service charge to the
General Fund. This helps to maintain an Aal bond rating and keeps taxes low. All of our neighbors have
high debt service with high cost. We attempt to take our tax increase and then look at the tax increases
for the school districts and other taxing jurisdictions in Fridley and figure out the taxes on the average
local home. One of the City's employees owns an average local home. Staff has been using that for an
example the last three or four years. It has an average value of $132,600. Local property tax rates were
reduced dramatically by the State legislature. The tax changes were accompanied by big reduction in
State aid to Cities. Cities were eYpected to levy back the lost State aid. Fridley has chosen to levy an
amount equal to the lost State aid which amounts to about $1,200,000 and have opted to raise last year's
property tas base by another $4,200,000. The effect of the changes is to raise the City's property taYes by
a little less than 34%. Anoka County has also raised its property taYes substantia(ly. Revenues from
State aid with property taxes are only about 1.25% higher than they were for 2001. These need to pay for
the General Fund operations. We have not been wasteful in spending habits and taxing practices. The
market rate levies approved by the voters for the school districts are included in determining property
taxes and market value homestead credit consideration that the State allows for residential property. In
2001, there was tax reform by the State legislators, but it did not make the tax systemmore simple. The
tax break for the average home is only $38 (3.1%) in Spring Lake Park. In School District 14, the t�
break is $236, or about 17.2%. In Columbia Heights it is $47 or 3.1%. In School District 11, that ta�c
break is $167, or about 12.1 %.
Mr. Burns stated that part of the problem is that the average value of property is low and the tax breaks
the legislature passed really affected higher value property. A$250,000 home in Fridley will get a 40%
tas break. Table 3 contained in the budget message has the most recent calculations for fund balances
based on a five-year history. Table 4 shows the amount of General Fund revenue from inside and esternal
forces. Up to 1999, the City �vas not pulling down internal resources. From 1999, the City was spending
at least $600,000 in its fund balances to balance the General Fund. Table 5 depicts changes in various
sources of General Fund revenue. Property ta�ces as a source of revenue have risen from 34.8% to 443%.
Table 6 displays the budget and sources of internal transfers to the General Fund. We are projecting to
use $827,028 in General Fund reserves in 2002, and we are using an increasing amount of our liquor fund
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 2001 PAGE 7
profits to fund the General Fund. Table 7 shows that General Fund expenditures have grown at a rate of
inflation and they are not out of line and are less than the constant dollar figure for 1995-1997. Ne�v
construction has dropped from $20,000,000 for the first ten months of this year and is less than those tw�o
previous years. The unemployment rate has grown from 2.6% to 3.23%. crime rates appear to be down
and burglary rates are at an all-time low. There has been a 7.2% increase in the number of people on
public assistance.
Mr. Burns stated that while Fridley continues to offer quality governmental services at a lower cost than
any of its neighbors there are significant challenges ahead. Taxes are lower but there are substantial
pressures to raise those taxes. More of the City's local school districts may be going to the voters for lew
increases. The State is projecting deficits for revenues projected for the State for the next budget year.
There is a great possibility that the State may want to tamper with local government aid again to find
ways to reduce expenditures and stay within annual revenues. That will put more pressure on cities.
ApproYimately 63% of our expenditures for Capital Improvements this year are from fund balances. The
City is also going to be challenged to find local funding for previously grant-funded police personnel.
That will have a bearing on the youth programs funded out of the Police Department. We are facing a
prospect of putting up a local share of $700,000 to fund a county-wide public safety radio replacement
system. The budget for 2003 should be cautious particularly in this economy.
Mr. Burns presented the 2002 budget for Council's consideration.
Councilmember Barnette stated that 3 of the 4 referendums for the school districts failed but they will be
back. Do the unemployment figures reflect the citizens of Fridley or the businesses?
Mr. Burns stated that he is referring to Fridley residents and the figures come from the State.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the Water Fund was at .4% or .5%.
Mr. Burns stated that it is at .4%.
Councilmember Billings stated that we spend about $230,000 for our Prosecuting Attorney. Some
residents figure that all the fines they pay for speeding tickets, etc., come back to the City and that is why
we do law enforcement on various roads. He asked what portion of the revenue stream was generated
from our share of the court fines.
Mr. Burns stated that he understands it to be a break-even situation and would refer to Mr. Pribyl for more
information.
Mr. Pribyl stated that the revenue generated is $190,500.
Councilmember Billings stated that speed traps and other things are not things we are doing, but cost us
more to prosecute than the small return we get from the courts.
Mr. Burns stated that it is by no means a windfall.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what the process is for the next step.
Mr. Pribyl stated that this is the public hearing for the 2002 budget. The next step would be to have
Counci( review and approve the resolution for the 2002 budget. There will also be a resolution to certify

MOTION by Ms. Johns, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to approve the November 7, 2001, Planning
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 Special Use Permit, SP #01-13, by Troy and Anna Peabody, to allow
a residence to be built in a River Preservation District. A permit is specifically required
for homes proposed to be elevated, but not built on fill. (Ordinance Number 1056),
generally located at 606 Cheryl Street NE.
MOTION by Ms. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to waive the reading and 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 that homes that are not elevated on fill are a permitted special use in the
flood fringe district provided that all FEMA and State flood-proofing regulations and standards
provided in Ordinance No. 1056 are met. The lot is located on the corner of Broad Avenue and
Cheryl Street and is zoned R-1, single family, as are all surrounding properties. It meets City
Code requirements for lot size (9,000 sq. ft.) at 9,350 square feet and meets City Code
requirements for lot width (75 feet) at 85 feet wide. The home meets setback and lot coverage
requirements. Ordinance No. 1056 states that a special use permit may be issued to construct
a home using alternative elevation methods, such as a tuck-under garage in this case, provided
that all living area is located above flood level. On this property there can be no living area
below 823.9 feet in elevation. The first floor living area will be located at 824.9 feet in elevation
with the garage slab at the top of two feet of fill, which will be waterproofed to meet all
standards.
1
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 2
Ms. Stromberg stated that staff recommends approval of the special use permit with the
following stipulations:
1. Prior to submittal of building plans, all structural and soil engineering shall be reviewed
and approved by a structural engineer.
2. All necessary permits shall be obtained from the City prior to construction.
3. Siding and landscaping shall be used to minimize the impact of flood-proofing materials.
4. The petitioner shall submit an elevation certificate as part of a verifying survey prior to
the foundation being capped, which shall verify that the minimum first floor elevation is
823.9 feet.
5. The petitioner shall flood-proof the garage in accordance with current Federal and State
flood-proofing requirements to a minimum of the 100-year flood elevation.
6. Retaining walls shall be installed on the east and west sides of the home, a minimum of
5Y2 inches (maximum of 8 inches) is required to separate the grade from the threshold.
7. The petitioner shall submit new grading and drainage plans integrating the retaining
walls on the east and west sides of the home.
8. The verifying survey shall confirm stipulation #7. (Note to surveyor: Hydrant elevation
has changed since 1994, verify elevation.)
9. Erosion control measures shall be installed along all Iot lines prior to any work done on
this site.
10. The petitioner shall execute and record against the property a hold harmless agreement
releasing the City from liability if damage occurs as a result of flooding.
11. The petitioner shall agree to preserve mature trees to the extent possible. All trees
required to be removed for the new home shall be marked and approved by City staff
prior to issuance of building permits.
12. The height of the structure shall not exceed 30 feet as measured from the top of the curb
elevation.
13. Special use permit approval is dependent upon approval of variance, VAR #01-15.
Mr. Hickok stated a special use permit is required to make sure any compatibility issues are
addressed prior to issuance of the building permit. FEMA regulations raise the elevation of the
first floor level of the home, and compatibility with adjacent structures is important to consider.
In 1994, a special use permit was approved for this property to keep the first floor elevation on
that height, but to build up the fill. What is being discussed tonight is taking the foundation and
building the floor elevation up to where it needs to be and building the home on top of that,
keeping the grade roughly where it is at with minor modification. The stipulation of minimizing
the height by using retaining walls or planter boxes as a possible solution would come in and
help bring the house back down. Architecturally, it would feel like it is blending in with the
neighborhood better. The property owner has a solution also that a retaining wall would be built
away from the home and hold the earth so it could be graded up towards the home and not
leave any grading issues like ponding water next to the house. This would raise the landscape
elevation to help bring it in at a level of the house similar to a typical structure.
Mr. Hickok stated option 2 puts a planter box right next to the house and the petitioner is
concerned about that. A new grading and drainage plan would be submitted by their
engineering staff and reviewed and worked out so there is no ponding or detrimental issues
there. Staff favors this option because it would raise up the grade and put landscaping at a
typical elevation and create an architectural feature to step land away from the building so it
feels like it is similar to surrounding homes. The petitioner submitted an alternative close to
option 1 showing planter boxes stepped out away from the home about six feet. It
�
PLANNING COMM�SSION MEETING, DECEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 3
accomplishes the grading, and the landscape has more dramatic effect coming closer to the
street than the house itself.
Mr. Hickok stated that from the garage end, the planter boxes are stepped away from the house
that leaves the FEMA foundation standing on its own allowing a walkway around both sides.
The planter box could be taken six feet past the garage and turned so it creates a minimizing
effect and a nice L-shaped walkway to the front door. On the west side of the house there
would be another planter box drawing down the height of the structure. There is a plain looking
building face, and the landscape would create visual interest for the neighbor. There will be a
deck built to break up the back of the home and draw it down to the neighborhood scale.
Ms. Savage asked if any neighbors had any complaints. - �-
Ms. Stromberg stated they received one concern from a neighbor about the size of the structure
being too large in comparison to the other homes in the area.
Mr. Kondrick stated there is six feet from where the body of the house is and the planter area.
How will the water be managed with snow melt and heavy rain?
Mr. Hickok stated that is included in the stipulations. The area would need to drain properly.
They need to revise the grading and drainage plan to show that it needs to be titled somewhat
or have a draining mechanism built into it.
Mr. Kondrick stated that gutters and downspouts would be an important part of the program.
Mr. Kuechle asked a question regarding the curb and the height of the top nut on the hydrant.
Mr. Hickok stated it is 817 feet. The curb and hydrant height have changed. The 817 feet
given comes from the 1994 packet of material. Staff has asked the petitioner to go back and
know the benchmark height of the top nut which is used for survey elevations. That has
changed about one foot since the 1994 project. That would have an impact on the first floor
living area. Staff has discussed this with the petitioners, and everything they take off from the
benchmark is correct.
Mr. Kuechle asked if there was a stipulation about the planters and what leverage the City has
to make sure the petitioners build the planters.
Mr. Hickok stated that is important, and they need to make sure there is a solution before the
building permit is issued. A special use permit can be revoked, and it becomes an expensive
problem for the petitioners. Staff has a good working relationship with the petitioners, and the
planter boxes are a suitable solution with landscaping and planter boxes. The one that talks
about prior to their getting a building permit having the grading and drainage plans approved will
be key to the question. It has to show the boxes, or it cannot be approved.
Ms. Savage stated that the stipulations are significant in this situation due to the fact of the flood
plan area. The stipulations are required to allow the special use permit.
Mr. Hickok stated that is correct.
Ms. Anna Peabody, petitioner, stated that the actual measurement is 818.54 feet according to
the inspector. The problem with the planter boxes being right next to the house is that there are
3
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 4
venting and draining issues. There are also FEMA guidelines about the crawl space next to the
house.
Mr. Kondrick asked how far over the planter boxes would be.
Ms. Peabody stated that they put the retaining wall six feet away so the planter boxes will be
about four feet away from the house. The house is on two feet of fill and sits on a slight hill.
They might be able to drop off the fill sooner if not for the planter boxes that they need to stick
closer to the house. They can then alleviate putting the dirt higher against the house. Shrubs
would be used to minimize the appearance of the house about four wide and four feet high.
Clay will be used on top of the fill so the water will run down easier and it will be a really dry
house due to the tile arrangement and design. The planter boxes will have to have some holes
in the sides to help them drain down over that one foot. If you use a certain kind of brick and
bring the fill up to the top of that brick, the water will run right down and over it. A slightly higher
shrub will be used right next to the planter box to help minimize the garage. Some brick will be
used in front of the garage too. These plans could be submitted with added drainage along with
the final plans for the permit. The issues with the drainage are really easy to work with. The
planter boxes could be put into a certificate of occupancy to make sure they get done.
Stipulation #6 states that a minimum of 5.5 inches for a maximum of 8 inches is required to
separate the grade from the threshold. Could that be tied in with #3 or changed to show they
are building the planter box farther away from the house?
Mr. Hickok stated that change makes sense.
Ms. Savage asked if there are any problems with the other stipulations.
Ms. Peabody stated she did not think so. Stipulation #6 could be changed to state that along
with submitting the permits, the new grading and drainage plan will be submitted including a
plant box. #11 addressing the trees is not a problem because they are working on preserving
all the trees on the lot, except one got hit by lightning last week and it has to come down
anyway. The trees will be higher than the house.
Jon Maloy, 8051 Broad Ave., stated that he has lived next to the property for 24 years. The
water has never been a problem in 24 years. It is a nice flat lot and he cannot understand why
they would not allow buildings on it. He does not understand the elevation of the house. Will
there be stilts like in Florida? He has never seen fill there. Other than the flood plain, what is
wrong with the lot?
Mr. Kuechle stated that the regulations of how far the house has to be set up is not decided by
the City of Fridley. Federal regulations mandate that, and they are trying to design the house to
make it look as good as possible for the neighborhood.
Mr. Maloy stated that the house on Dover Street belongs to a good friend of his; and he had a
heck of a time getting that done, but it is beautifuL
Mr. Kuechle stated that stipulation #6 could be changed to state as follows: "A suitable
retaining wall plan shall be submitted before issuance of the permit."
Mr. Hickok stated that it could be changed to say: "A suitable retaining wall plan shall be
submitted and approved by staff prior to issuance of the permit."

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, DECEMBER 5, 2001 PAGE 5
Ms. Peabody stated that there could be a similar thing on #7.
Mr. Kuechle stated that has to do with grading and drainage.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Johns, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KUECHLE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLlC:HEARING lNAS CLOSED AT 7:55 P.M.
Mr. Kuechle stated that the petitioners have done a good job of trying to make this plan fit the
requirements and design it as well as possible. He would recommend approval.
Mr. Kondrick stated he agreed. This should be a real nice house.
Ms. Johns stated she agreed. The size of the house is not much of an issue with the tall trees
and the planting proposed.
Ms. Savage stated she also agreed. The house is permitted as long as the standards are met
and it should be an attractive home. "

Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg
SP #01-13
ANALYSIS
The petitioners, Troy and Anna Peabody are seeking a special use permit to construct a
home, not elevated on fill, in the Flood Fringe District. Ordinance #1056 states that a
special use permit may be issued to construct a home using alternative elevation methods,
such as a tuck under garage as in this case, provided that all living space is located at an
elevation above the flood level. These alternative elevation methods must be designed
and certified by a registered engineer or architect as being in compliance with applicable
building codes, including federal standards for flooding.
This vacant parcel is located on the corner of Cheryl Street and Broad Avenue. It is zoned,
R-1, Single Family as are adjacent properties. The property meets city code requirements
for lot size and width as the lot is 9,350 square feet and 85 feet wide. The petitioner has
stated in their narrative submitted to city staff that they intend to keep the location of the
structure primarily in the same location as was submitted in the 1994 survey. The northeast
corner would remain the same, with the south wall of the structure six inches shorter and the
west wall one foot longer.
Left — View of Property from Broad Avenue Right — View of Property from Cheryl Street
On this particular property, there can be no living area below 823.9 feet in elevation. The
petitioners intend to place two feet of fill underneath the entire structure as well as extend
the area of compacted fill a minimum of 15 feet surrounding the structure. By doing this the
petitioners anticipate they will any avoid drainage problems and preserve many of the
mature trees on the lot. The first floor living area will be located at 824.9 in elevation with
the garage slab at the top of the two feet of fill, which will be waterproofed to meet all
standards.
To minimize the impacts of this new home on the neighborhood, City Staff has determined
that retaining walls, landscaping and additional grading must be used on both east and
west sides of the home to minimize the overpowering impacts of the added building height
due to flood-proofing.
10
In 1994, this property was one of three properties, owned by George Hediund, that was
granted a special use permit to allow construction in the CRP-2 (Flood Fringe) District. As
with all special use permits, the City if obligated to review previously granted stipulations if
the facts have changed to ensure compatibility. The applicable stipulations have been
transferred to this special use permit along with current stipulations.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approva! of this special use permit, with stipulations.
Homes that are not elevated on fill are a permitted special use in the flood fringe district
provided that all Federal and State flood-proofing and standards provided in Ordinance
#1056 are met.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends approval of this special use permit with the following stipulations.
1. Prior to submittal of building plans, all structural and soil engineering shall be reviewed
and approved by a structural engineer.
2. All necessary permits shall be obtained from the City prior to construction.
3. Siding and landscaping shall be used to minimize the impact of flood-proofing
materials.
4. The petitioner shall submit an elevation certificate as part of a verifying survey prior to
the foundation being capped, which shall verify that the minimum first floor elevation is
823.9 feet.
5. The petitioner shall flood-proof the garage in accordance with current Federal and
State flood-proofing requirements to a minimum of the 100-year flood elevation.
6. Retaining walls shall be installed on the east and west side of the home, a minimum of
5'/z inches [maximum of 8 inches] is required to separate the grade from the threshold.
7. The petitioner shall submit new grading and drainage plans integrating the retaining
walls on the east and west side of the home.
8. The verifying survey shall confirm stipulation #7. (Note to Surveyor: hydrant elevation

Staff Report Prepared by. Paul Bolin

PS 01-04
ANALYSIS
Petitioners are seeking to formally recognize what was erroneously perceived to be the lot
line between their properties. Both petitioners moved into their homes in 1999 and were
under the assumption that the chain link fence separating their properties was the property
line. The new plat, Sonja's Heather Hills, simply gives the petitioners an opportunity to
correct the accidental encroachment of a retaining wall and plantings across the property
lines. The petitioner's homes will continue to meet all setback requirements if the plat
request is approved.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of this preliminary plat 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 85' to 90' and in
area from 18,000 square feet to 13,460 square feet.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that the following stipulations be attached to the preliminary plat
approval.
1. Petitioner shall provide all easements as shown on preliminary plat drawing.

DNR Grant for Flood Pumping Equipment
PWO1-101
Our Public Works Superintendent, Paul Lawrence, submitted a grant application to the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for a Flood Hazard Mitigation 50%
matching grant to fund a second and larger pump with automated controls for the Riverview
Heights-Springbrook Creek pumping station. We have been notified by the MN DNR of the
approval of that application.
The additional pump will be sized to handle the full flow of Springbrook Creek even during
storms. The automated controls will allow the station to be unmanned for the majority of the
flood event. Based on our past history of overtime costs to man this area during flood events,
this system will essentially recover its cost during its first use.
The estimated cost for the entire system is �60,800. The MN DNR grant will fund 50% of this
cost up to �30,400. We also have a Project Impact (FEMA) grant application for $18,000 for
this project that we are still awaitina final approval on. �20,000 has been identified i� the
Storm Water CIP for this project.
Recommend the Ciry Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing the Director of Public
Works to act as the City's agent to administer this grant.
Recommend the City Council also approve the attached Flood Hazard Mitigation Grant
Agreement between the State of Minnesota and the City of Fridley.

Senior Companion Program
Introduction
In the past the City of Fridley Senior Program has received Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG) Funds to administer our Senior Companion program. Due to the County's
administering of the Public Service portion of the CDBG funds, the cities of Fridley and Coon
Rapids made a joint request for funding in 2002-2003. This arrangement was received favorably
last year and since it appears to have worked well for both parties, we would like Council's
approval to proceed with a similar application.
Discussion
Until 2001-2002, the Cities of Fridley and Coon Rapids received CDBG funds directory for the
Senior Companion Program. Beginning with the program year 2001-2002, Fridley and Coon
Rapids made a joint request based on the application requirement from Anoka County that
"applicants must request a minimum of $5,000 in funding." Neither applicant had needs to
support more that a$4,000 request.
The current joint agreement between the cities of Fridley and Coon Rapids states that Fridley will
apply for the funding on behalf of both cities and disperse funds when received.
Recommendation to City Council
Authorize the Fridley Senior Program to apply for CDBG funding for the year 2002-2003
Respectfully submitted
