OLD BUSINESS:
1. ORDINANCE NO. 1177 REPEALING CHAPTER 504, TAXICABS AND
AMENDING CHAPTER 11, GENERAL PROVISION AND FEES, OF THE
FRIDLEY CITY CODE.
Dr. Burns, City Manager, stated staff recommended that Fridley cease issuing taxicab
licenses. The recommendation was based on knowledge that until 2003 Fridley had only
issued three to four cab licenses a year. In 2003, the City became a licensing authority
with the lowest rates. At $50 for the first cab and $5 for each additional cab, the City was
attracting many cab companies who came here to meet the licensing requirements of the
Metropolitan Airport Commission. The City could raise the fees, but it would only drive
the cab companies elsewhere. Staff thought the better solution was to give up licensing
given the small amount of revenue the City gets from it.

5. RESOLUTION NO. 27-2003 AUTHORIZING CHANGES IN APPROPRIATIONS

Dr. Burns, City Manager, stated the changes were the result of unbudgeted revenues and
unfareseen expenditures. They included $37,718 in general fund adjustments and
$431,800 in general fund capital improvement fund adjustments. All the adjustments
were covered by unbudgeted donations, particularly in the case of the general fund

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 4
OPEN FORUiVI, VISITORS:
Mr. Doyle Mullin, 6801 Hickory Street N.E., stated he had been on the Springbrook Nature
Center Foundation Board of Directors for 30 years. He was presently the vice-chairman. They
were at the meeting to show support for continuing the Springbrook Nature Center. They would
very much like to meet with Council and try to eYplore some ways in which they could work
together to continue the operation of the Springbrook Nature Center in its current configuration.
Mr. Lenny Brandt, 190 Craigbrook Way, thanked Dr. Burns and stated it was a gutsy move to
propose the 2004 budget cut for Springbrook Nature Center. He stated hopefully the Council
would approve the budget proposal. He said years back when Springbrook Nature Center
became a reality, Fridley citizens were told there would be no Fridley city funds used. Dr. Burns
stated the park would remain open with roads and trails.
Mayor Lund stated he believed there would be an opportunity for all parties to discuss the budget
and the Springbrook Nature Center.
Mr. Mullin stated the charge that the Springbrook Nature Center would be done at no cost to the
City was frequently quoted by people who oppose the Nature Center. He said he went through a
scrapbook that contained advertising and articles written by the newspaper that said the City had
a program which employed a naturalist who was operating a nature center program outside of
Springbrook Nature Center. He was headquartered at the North Innsbruck Nature Center. In
1974, the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation made a contract with the City in which they
leased the Springbrook Nature Center for five years for $1. There was a documented proposal
written that said the Foundation would develop a nature center at no cost. They would put a
fence around it. They would build boardwalks, a building, and trails, and it would be a complete
nature center ready to operate when they were done. At the end of five years they had done
exactly that, at no cost to the City. It was all done through private and personal contributions,
grants, corporate donations, and so on and it was all on the record. At the end of five years,
when their lease expired, they handed it back to the City and said, here is your nature center as
promised, and they said "thank you." At that point, they moved their naturalist program from
North Innsbruck to Springbrook. There were no lies and no deception. A commitment was
made and a commitment was kept.
The City Council decided they would select a date for a meeting and would contact Mr. Mullin.
Mr. R.ichard Harris, 6200 Riverview Tenace, stated he was there at the request of his neighbors
regarding the driveway. They wanted him to ask Council to reconsider the vote taken last
December as to the maintenance and proposals for the "driveway." He said Mrs. Gibson would
like to sell her home. Appazently, the real estate people told her that the pending action may
cause problems with the sale of her property.
Mayor Lund replied that he believed they have already been served with a lawsuit.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, said that the matter was the subject of litigation between individuals
who own property at this location and the City.
C
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 5
Mayor Lund asked the City Attorney if he thought it be appropriate for them to reaffirm their
previous action.
NIr. Knaak replied that the open forum was not a time when action items were to be considered
by the City Council. As an agenda item, he did not know if it w-ould be appropriate or not.
Certainly, Ms. Gibson could approach the city attorneys and seek some kind of independent
settlement. That was always an option in litigation. Right now, it was his recommendation that
there not be any discussion regarding this matter at this meeting.
Mr. Brandt asked if the opposition would be invited to the meeting they would be scheduling on
the Springbrook Nature Center.
Mayor Lund replied it was a public meeting.
Councilmember Barnette replied he would notify him.
Ms. Nancy Jorgensen, 5730 Polk Street, asked how many lawsuits the City was involved in that
they could not comment on.
Mayor Lund replied, two.
N1r. Potasek, 310 — 62"d Way N.E., and stated that Mrs. Gibson's attorney had requested the City
Attorney respond to his proposals and it had not occurred.
Mr. Knaak said he would convey anything that happened at the meeting to counsel.
PUBLIC HEARING:
9. CONSIDERATION OF ALLEY PAVING PROJECT NO. ST. 2003-3.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to open the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING OPEN AT 8:10 P.M.
_ Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated this was a project to pave the last three gravel
through alleys in the City. City policy in the past was to assess 100 percent to the adjoining
properties. They have estimated the cost at approximately $15 per foot for those properties
' involved. All the proposed fronting on the alleys would be assessed whether they had a
driveway or not. The reasoning was that anyone at any time could put in a driveway and use the
alley.
Mr. Haukaas stated the first alley was between Anoka and Arthur Streets, running from
Mississippi Street to 66`h Avenue. The other two alleys were between 62"d Way and 62 '/2 Way,
and between 62 '/2 Way and 63`d Way running from East River Road to Ashton Avenue.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 6
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Haukaas how they normally notified people about public
hearings other than in the paper or by passinQ a resolution.
�tr. Haukaas replied letters were sent to each individual property notifying them of the public
hearing at least 10 days in advance. He said a letter setting the public hearing �vent out after the
last Council meeting.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked him to explain why they were doing this. The alleys had been
unpaved for many years.
Mr. Haukaas replied this project came up as a result of discussions regarding the ordinance to
pave driveways. In 1997 the ordinance to pave driveways went into effect. It gave a five-year
window to get the driveways in. The five years was now up and they were finishing up the
project.
Councilmember Bolkcom said that by having them ashpalted, they were easier to maintain and
there was less erosion.
Mr. Haukaas said because they were through alleys, per policy, the City would take over their
maintenance.
Ms. Bolkcom asked him to outline the assessment process.
Mr. Haukaas replied that after the public hearing, if Council chose to go forward with the
project, they would then prepare a resolution ordering final plans and then a second resolution
receiving those final plans and ordering them to obtain costs for the project. Because this was a
smaller project, once they had their preliminary plans completed, they were essentially the final
plans. After the project was awarded, they would complete the project and then hold another
public hearing on the final assessments based on actual costs. At that point, all residents
involved would get a letter stating what the costs would be.
Councilmember Bolkcom said they could either pay the costs or have them assessed.
Mr. Haukaas replied that he believed there was a 30-day window to pay them in full. After that,
they would be certified to Anoka County for the t� rolls.
Councilmember Barnette said they had ten years to pay the assessment and that there was also an
administrative charge.
Councilmember Bolkcom said there would also be interest added on beside the administrative
fee.
Mr. Haukaas replied the interest would be added at whatever the current rate was at the time of
certifying the assessments.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what the estimate was based on.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23. 2003 PAGE 7
Mr. Haukaas replied it was based on the amount of property that fronted the alley.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if anyone could call him and ask what the approYimate cost
would be.
vlr. Haukaas said they could.
Councilmember Wolfe said that $15 was the worst case scenario.
Mr. Haukaas said they had not done a lot of these projects. That was a number they were
comfortable with. They received one estimate that was significantly higher and one that came in
lower.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Haukaas if he had received any telephone calls from anyone
regarding the project.
Mr. Haukaas replied they had received a couple of telephone calls, for and against. Some
residents believed it would be an amenity to the neighborhood, it would make everything look
much neater, and they were happy not to have to plow the alley any longer. Others were very
concerned. They felt they would not ever have access to the alley and did not see a reason why
they should be involved in it. Again it was not necessarily just the current residents, but any
future owners could change their access.
Councilmember Wolfe said it would be a nice option for rescue vehicles.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if this was the beginning of several projects that were being
proposed.
Mr. Haukaas replied that it was the first step. He said there were a lot of alleys in the City of
Fridley. These were the only three alleys that go all the way through that had a gravel surface.
The other alleys they needed to look at only went partially through, alleys that had never been
built or could be built.
Ms. Jacobus, 6562 Anoka Street, stated she was against paying for the alley. There were reasons
why she did not think the alley should be there. She did not use it and her garage did not face it.
Her house, as well as all of her neighbors' houses, have been there since the 1950's and none of
them have yet to switch their garages and use the alley. On Anoka Street, they all had double
lots and none of their garages faced the back. They would all then pay a much greater fee if it
was done by the actual footage. She did not believe they would come in at $15 a foot for the
cost. She said she would have to move her fence. She said the City was not maintaining the alley
right now, so it was not having a problem maintaining it. She stated it was her understanding
that they were not planning on putting in an 11-foot alley. They were keeping it at 8 feet. She
just did not seen any other benefit other than the plowing benefit. To pay around $2,000 so that
somebody did not have to shovel or plow a few feet of the alley just did not make economic
sense.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 8
Councilmember Barnette said if people currently had driveways and the City put in an alley, it
would be the City's responsibility to match up the driveways to the alley.
NIr. Haukaas agreed. He said the proposal would not require any fences to be removed. There
was a 12-foot platted alley. They would propose to put in a 10-foot wide paved alley in the
e:cistina platted area. They would make connections to driveways. With respect to drainage, it
did not look like it, but it did slope from 66`" to Mississippi Street. They were going to have to
lower the sidewalk at Nlississippi Street about 4 to 6 inches, and it would be able to drain the
entire length out to Mississippi Street. As far as the assessment, the property width was a
method they had been using for a long time for street assessments and they carried it over to the
alley assessments.
Ms. Jacobus asked why they were given a choice last year but not this year.
Mr. Haukaas said it was initiated by residents who lived on the block. He said there were a
greater number of property owners who said yes, but the tc�tal footage said no. Since that time,
Council reviewed the matter and chose to move forward with an alley-paving project.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the equipment to plow the alley.
Mr. Haukaas said they would use existing equipment.
Mr. Richard Kedrowski, 6584 Anoka Street, stated his garage came out onto Anoka Street. He
said the alley was useless to him and was something he felt he should not have to pay for. With
respect to moving the fence, one of the concerns was the power poles were not in line down the
alley. It created a narrow bottleneck in the middle of the alley and was a spot that could be a
problem. There were also concerns about the gravel/dirt runoff into the street. He was looking in
his alley after a rainstorm in the morning and right now with the sand, the water tended to soak
into the sand. By paving this, at some point in time, they are creating runoff into peoples' yards.
It would cause problems if they change the grade to try and make this run out onto Mississippi
Street. By bringing the level up in the center, they would be going above a lot of the garage
floors in the center of the alley. If water pooled up, it would cause problems.
Mr. Haukaas replied that because the alley was narrow they would be paving right up to the
power pole, but they would still be able to do the alley without moving the pole or fences or
other structures. With respect to runoff, the alley would be paved with an inverted crown. It
would bring water to the center and would transport the water out to Mississippi Street. It would
not push the water toward adjacent properties. They have looked at all the grades and have
surveyed it thoroughly.
Mr. Kedrowski said he was also concerned about the "per foot" assessment. A majority of the
large, 120-foot lots are owned by the people who do not have garages off the alley. He said he
was asking for just a sympathetic vote to go through and assess it on an equal basis for each
person who was there, so that people who did not use the alley did not pay twice as much as the
people who did.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 9
Mayor Lund asked if this would be an eYCeption to the way it had been done in the past and if
there �vould be any legal ramifications.
Mr. Haukaas replied that assessment policies are very individualized to every city so, if that was
the way they choose to assess the project, they certainly could do that. There �vas nothing
barring them from dividing the cost equally by the 1 � properties that are involved.
Councilmember Barnette said he thought the argument was well taken.
Councilmember Wolfe stated he liked the idea of dividing the cost by the number of houses.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they would have to have another public hearing to change the
assessing method.
Attorney Knaak replied they could continue the hearing for the assessment portion with respect
to this alley if they chose to do so. They have a number of options as indicated by Mr. Haukaas,
but they were improving the value of the property. There was some benefit, and that benefit had
to be paid for under the City's policies. The policies were in place for the purpose of
apportioning that cost. If they chose to apportion it on a per capita basis, they could do that, but
they would need to continue the hearing.
Dr. Burns, City Manager, said as opposed to a separate public hearing notice and another
hearing.
Mr. Knaak said that all property owners had already been notified.
Councilmember Bolkcom said she thought the notice said they would be assessed per width.
There may have been other people at the meeting if they had known they were going to be
assessed straight across the board.
Mr. Knaak said there was always the risk that assessments would change.
Mayor Lund commented that he was also interested in seeing how that would affect the other
two alleys.
Councilmember Barnette asked Mr. Haukaas about the two other alleys off of East River Road.
He recalled that some of those houses had garages that went out to the street, not the alley.
Mr. Haukaas said it was a very similar situation.
Mr. Kedrowski stated in the letter that was sent, there was a line that said "all of said land to be
assessed proportionately according to the benefits received by such improvement." After
speaking to many of his neighbors, their understanding of that was since they were not getting
any use of this alley it was not going to cost them as much. He thought there would have been
more people at the meeting had they known.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 10
Councilmember Barnette asked if the residents would be notified if the hearing was continued.
He thought it would be the fair thinQ to do.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she would like to see how the changes in the assessment would
benefit the residents in that area.
Mr. Lloyd, 151 � Mississippi Street N.E., stated he was involved with the alley project and felt it
was no problem to divide it by the number of homeowners and spread it out. He said he
appreciated the time and effort Council and Mr. Haukaas put into this. He stated if they dropped
the apron going out onto Mississippi a few inches there was no way in the world that water was �
not going to run out of there.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to continue the public hearing until July 14, 2003.
Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
Councilmember Barnette asked that another letter be sent out that stated that the assessments
would be done per capita/household.
Mayor Lund stated he thought they heazd from the City Attorney that they could table this public
hearing just on the assessment portion and potentially move ahead and vote to go ahead with
ordering the plans.
Mr. Haukaas replied that was not necessary; the next two resolutions should also be tabled. He
said they would have prices at the next meeting and they can move forward with everything at
that time.

Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, stated at the Council meeting of April 28, 2003, the City Council
approved a conditional liquor license for Sean's based on a number of stipulations. One of those
stipulations was to provide a CPA-attested monthly audited financial statement. On June 10,
2003, Sean's could not meet the condition of providing the statement for the previous month of
May. On June 10, 2003, the City was made aware of notes actually posted on the doors of
Sean's Grille & Pub notifying their patrons that they had in fact actually closed. Due to the fact
that Sean's could not meet their requirement of providing the CPA-attested monthly statement,
staff recommended that the liquor license be revoked.

13. PRELIMINARY PLAT REQUEST, PS #03-04, BY MICHAEL JUAIRE, PMJ
GROUP, INC., FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW TOWNHOMES,
GENERALLY LOCATED AT 1163 AND 1175 NORTON AVENUE N.E. (WARD
�•
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated the plat request was being made to create
seven separate lots as part of Lots 4 and 5, Auditor's Subdivision No. 89. - Mr. Juaire's plan was
to construct a six-unit renter occupied townhome development. This was the third plat request
submitted by Mr. Juaire for a townhome development on Norton Avenue. The property was
zoned R-3, Multi-Family, as were the surrounding properties to the north, east, and south. The
property to the west was zoned M-1, Light Industrial. The existing home and garage were built
in 1958. Both structures will be removed to accommodate the proposed townhome development.
The existing home on 1163 Norton was zoned R-3, Multi-Family, as were the surrounding
properties. The home was constructed in 1953 and the garage was built in 1958. Both of these
structures would be removed to accommodate the new development. The City Code required
that the lots in the R-3, Multi-Family, zoning district have a minimum lot area of 15,000 square
feet. The property was 25,960 square feet, which exceeded the minimum requirement. The
proposed townhome development also met the setback and lot coverage requirements.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 12
Mr. Hickok stated that at the Nlay 21, 2003, Planing Commission meeting, the neighbors
discussed the Comprehensive Plan, talked about construction hours and asked questions about
how additional development on Norton Avenue would change the character of the neighborhood.
He said the Comprehensive Plan for 2020 designated this area as redevelopment. The Planning
Commission recommended approval of this request with thirteen stipulations. Staff
recommended concurrence with the Planning Commission's recommendation.
Ms. Cindy Mabel, 1214 Norton Avenue, stated that at the last City Council meeting the Mayor
looked out at the audience and said he was surprised that none of the neighbors were at the
meeting. She said she knew why. It was because they had all given up. They did not believe
that the Council as a body cared about their street or what happened to it. There were big lots,
many trees, and modest homes. That was the chazacter of the street. The Comprehensive Plan
stated that you had to preserve the character of the street. When they started last February before
they ever heard of Mr. Juaire, their street had 10 houses, 11 dupleYes, and one 8-plex. Very
quickly they lost two homes and gained 8 townhomes. Many, many trees were taken out. There
was be no extra parking. The available parking was going to be in the garage and what space
was in front of it. She said how could they talk about landscaping on what little land is left. She
asked if any of them had been out there to see what was going up now. According to the
diagram, it looked like there would be some green space out in front, but there was not. The
driveways and garages were right at the base of the street.
Ms. Mabel said with respect to the neighbarhood, they are now down to 8 houses, 11 duplexes,
an 8-plex, and 8 townhomes. At the last meeting they approved getting rid of another house and
adding 4 more townhomes. Now they are down to 7 houses, 11 duplexes, 12 townhomes, and an
8-plex. If they approved this request, they would be doing down to 5 houses, all within six
months. Mr. Juaire approached the remaining 5 houses. Two of the owners told he had asked if
they �vould sell. The people of Norton Avenue have really given up. This home was her nest
egg. She had a tremendous emotional attachment to that house. She never had a house when she
was a child and it meant the world to her.
Ms. Mabel stated also at one of the very first meetings, they requested that somebody pay
attention to the street and they asked who was going to pay for the street as it deteriorated. She
said the street has deteriorated. She said her neighbors asked her to go to the meeting. She said
this was the last time she would go. She asked if they could really do this and what the purpose
was of the City Council. She said Council needed to consider the human element. They needed
to look at the human beings involved and what was being done to their neighborhood.
Mayor Lund stated Council did not bring the redevelopment plans forward.
Ms. Mabel stated she would like it if Council would drive down the street and see what was
going up.
Mayor Lund replied he had been down her street and saw the construction at the end of the cul-
de-sac. He said she was right. It did take down trees and there was more density; but it was
zoned for that density.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 13
Councilmember Wolfe stated that because of the way it was zoned, a gas station or convenience
store could Eo in. They thought townhomes would be less intrusive.
l�ir. Knaak said that ultimately the issue was going to be what did or did not comply with the
zoninQ code and �vhether this proposal complied with the zoning code. He said that just an
increase of the intensity of street use in and of itself probably would not stand up to a challenge.
If there was simpl�� a greater amount of traffic on the street but the character of the neighborhood
itself hadn't chanQe, meaning it was still residential, he did not think they would successfully
uphold a negative decision.
Councilmember w'olfe replied there was no question in his mind that they were definitely
changing the character of the neighborhood. They were eliminating house after house after
house. More duplexes. And as far as residential, it was still residential, but yet they had
completely changed the neighborhood.
Ms. Mabel asked if they had an obligation to provide a certain amount of low-income housing in
Fridley. They had taken out two good starter homes. Those homes had been worked on up until
just last year. What was being built here was going to cost people a lot more. If Mr. Juaire was
going to charge what he said he was going to charge for the townhomes, they were not low
income.
Mayor Lund said the property owners sold those properties and they have the right to do so. A
new person came in and bought the houses. He did not have to take them down and put up new
structures, but obviously that was what he was buying them for. He said it was done within the
zoning. He said it was not that they do not eare.
Ms. Mabel said the issues they brought up were not enough.
Mayor Lund said that unfortunately they were not. He knew that she was frustrated and that the
neighborhood was angry.
Ms. Mabel asked if her house was going to be the last one there. They have taken out her whole
street and neighborhood. She said Council would care if it were happening to them.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok to talk about the landscaping and the greenspace
and what was actually required.
Mr. Hickok replied on each one of the developments that have been reviewed, there was a
landscape plan that was required. In the R-3 section of the City Code, it was extremely specific
about the relationship of building size and lot size to the amount of trees and shrubs that were to
be planted and seed and sod required. Irrigation was required. R-3 development essentially had
the same landscape requirements as a commercial development. Each one of these was reviewed
on its own merits. It was matched against the City Code to make sure the landscaping was right.
If it was not they asked for modifications.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 14
Dr. Burns, City Manager, said there was much more than landscaping in the review process.
There were other things such as storm drainage and park land dedication fees and other items
that were a part of the platting process. The latitude the Council exercised here in the platting
process was signiticant.
Mr. Hickok agreed. He said it was important for the audience and the speaker to know and
understand that each development was reviewed on its own merits. The developer met with
planning, engineering, building, assessing, fire and safety staff. Each piece of this project was
analyzed as it moved fonvard. He said it was an R-3 development and they could ask for and
include a number of stipulations to make sure they got the highest quality project possible.
Mayor Lund referred to the comment on street damage. He requested that staff from time to time
revie�v that. He asked Mr. Haukaas if he could readily ascertain if there had been new damages
to the street.
Councilmember Bolkcom said there was a street survey that was done on all the different streets.
She said he should have a condition of the street before the project ever started.
Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, said they had a basic condition survey that was done on
every street every two years. It did not go into a high level of detail but they know the general
condition of the street.
Mr. Michael Juaire, PMJ Group, Inc., stated he knew the neighborhood was mad. With respect to
the street damage, the Assistant Director of Public Works, Layne Otteson, had been out there at
least half a dozen times for various purposes and he knew on some specific occasions he had
looked at the street. With respect to landscaping, there were some trees taken out of the first
development. Whenever you put a new structure in, it was kind of the luck of the draw as to
whether the existing trees were going to be underneath. He was required to and definitely
wanted to have the properties all look nice and be attractive because he wanted the properties to
be sold. He said he thought this project was an improvement to the neighborhood.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to approve Plat Request, PS #03-04, to create seven
separate lots from part of Lots 4 and 5, Auditor's Subdivision #89, in order to construct a six-unit
townhome development with the following thirteen stipulations:
The final landscape plans shall meet Code requirements for number of and size of
plantings and be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to issuance of a
building permit.

Brick type and application and elevations and other external building materials to
be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to issuance of a building perrnit.
4. Columns shown on the right and left elevations of the building plans shall be

6. RECEIVE BIDS AND AWARD CONTRACT FOR THE HICKORY DRIVE
WATERMAIN PROJECT NO. 350.
Councilmember Bolkcom said she received one telephone call from someone who asked if they
' were going to do anything with the storm drains in that area. When they get a hard rain, the
storm drains fill up with twigs and grass and everything else. The caller asked if they were going
to look at the one storm drain that appeared to be a little unusual and whether it would be
corrected.
Mr. Haukaas replied several parts of the storm sewer system will be impacted when they do this
project and they will be reconstructed. They have looked at the grates and they will try and do
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 23, 2003 PAGE 16
their best to change those out. Unfortunately when sticks and leaves and things like that go into
them, they could not always prevent them from cloaging. In certain situations where there was
eYCessive flow, they have changed to a different style of catch basin that would take all the
materials through. He concern in doing that was that it would go directly into the lake. He said
they did ;o out and clean out catch basins on a regular basis. He said this was a low point in the
road. It was always going to collect sticks, twigs and leaves. In those types of areas, they
usually asked for help from the neiahborhoods. They will look at the system and reconstruct it so
it worked to the best of its ability. V
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they would look at a different type of grate.
Mr. Haukaas said they would.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what the next step was because they planned on having a
neighborhood informational meeting.
Mr. Haukaas replied they were talking to the contractor and would set up a pre-construction
meeting so they could review the schedule. They wanted to wait to have the neighborhood
meeting until they had some more information. He said as soon as they found out when the pre-
construction meeting would be, they would send a letter and try to schedule a neighborhood
meeting shortly thereafter. By the time they had the neighborhood meeting, they would have all
the information from the contractor.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
1. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP #03-10, by Unity/Mercy Hospitals, Tim Grote,
for a building expansion in an R-1, Single Family Zoning District, legal description is on
file, and available upon request, generally located at 550 Osborne Road NE.
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 OPENED AT 7:33 P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner is requesting a special use permit to allow an expansion to
the existing hospital which is located in the R-1, Single Family Zoning district. Unity Hospital
and Minneapolis Radiation Oncology, Inc., are proposing a 2,375 square foot expansion to the
existing Radiation Therapy Center which is located on the south side of the building. The
existing Radiation Therapy Center was built in 1991, and the expansion witl be used for
outpatient treatment rooms and office space.
Ms. Stromberg stated the hospital was originally constructed in 1965, and many additions have
been constructed since that time. A maintenance garage is also located on the property. Last
fall, the hospital constructed a new parking lot on the north side of the property. Special use
permits were granted in 1984, 1993, 1995, and 1999 to allow the expansion of a hospital use in
a residentially-zoned district. Hospitals are a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning district,
provided that the proposed expansion complies with the requirements for the special use permit
1
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 18. 2003 PAGE 2
subject to the stipulations requested by staff: The proposed expansion will be an addition to the
existing Radiation Therapy Center.
Ms. Stromberg stated the approximate size of the proposed addition is 33 feet by 71.5 feet
which is approximately 2,375 square feet. The proposed addition will be used for outpatient
treatment rooms and office space. The petitioner has stated that the proposed addition may
require an additional two employees and four additional patients per day.
Ms. Stromberg stated currently the Unity campus has 1,069 parking spaces. City Code
requires that upon completion of the expansion, the Unity Hospital campus should have 1,072
parking stalls. Eight stalls will be lost from the proposed expansion; therefore, the hospital
campus will fall short of the Code requirements by 21 parking stalls.
Ms. Stromberg stated City staff has received complaints from surrounding neighbors about
hospital employees parking on Lyric Lane. However, based on staff observations, it doesn't
appear there is a parking problem. Staff has observed the property and surrounding area at
various times during the day for the past two weeks and has noticed that the parking lot has
many open spaces. Staff also noticed there is a maximum of two vehicles parked on Lyric
Lane, and it is hard to determine if those vehicles are related to the hospital or to the single-
family homes on Lyric Lane. City staff will continue to monitor the parking and traffic on and
near the property and will require that additional parking be added if it is determined that it is
needed.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements.
Regarding neighborhood comments, they have heard from neighboring property owners who
have concerns about parking, traffic, debris on the ground during construction, outdoor storage
items alongside the maintenance garage, and lack of landscaping along Lyric Lane. The
stipulations placed on the special use permit should alleviate these concerns. Therefore, City
staff recommends approval of the special use permit with stipulations as hospitals are a
permitted special use in the R-1, Single Family Zoning District, provided that the proposed
expansion complies with the requirements for the special use permit subject to the following
stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall obtain any required permit prior to the start of construction.
2. The parking lot shall be restored to Code requirements for paving, curbing, and
painting after the addition is completed.
3. There shall be no outdoor storage of equipment or materials along the south side
of the maintenance building.
4. The subject property shall be maintained free of any and all construction debris.
5. Construction vehicles shall not bring materials before 7:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.
6. The salt shed shall be removed prior to issuance of a building permit for the
proposed expansion.
7. The addition shall be architecturally compatible with the existing building and
finished with complementary siding and color scheme.
8. The City reserves the right to require additional parking should the demand of
the faciliry warrant it.
9. Any further expansions to the hospital will require the hospital to meet City code
requirements for hard surface parking.
Mr. Oquist stated he had a question regarding stipulation #4. When the site is under
construction, how can the property be kept free of construction debris?

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 18, 2003 PAGE 3
Ms. Stromberg stated one of the things they heard from neighboring property owners is during
construction there is a lot of debris, trash, or plastic blowing around the area and the
neighborhood, so they are asking that Unity clean up at the end of the day to deter those
problems.
Mr. Oquist stated there is still going to be some debris, and maybe that stipulation should be
worded slightly differently. They could actually say Unity can't have any construction material
laying around.
Ms. Savage read an e-mail dated June 10, 2003, from Frank Goms, 7517 Lyric Lane, stating
his concerns about a row of pine trees that separated the building and parking lot from the
houses on Lyric Lane. Two rows of trees along the berm have disappeared, and not one tree
has been replaced. Mr. Goms also mentioned about the hospital stating vines would be grown
over a fence to block the view.
Ms. Savage read a letter dated June 15, 2003, to Paul Bolin from Glen Byl, 7513 Lyric Lane,
stating that before a special use permit is granted to Unity for a building expansion, Unity
should do some area cleaning. There are a lot of old, unused parts and equipment stored
behind a brick building facing Lyric Lane. Mr. Byl also listed other items, including a pile of dirt
covered by a blue tarp.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Ms. Johns, to receive the e-mail dated June 10, 2003,
from Frank Goms and the letter dated June 15, 2003, from Glen Byl.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Tim Grote, Director of Support Services for Mercy/Unity Hospital, stated he and Ms.
Stromberg are going to talk tomorrow about a variance they have for the number of parking
stalls. They are very close, but he just wanted to make sure they are on the same page as far
as what they are short. His calculations show they are 12 or 13 short, and Ms. Stromberg's
calculations show they are 21 short. He really didn't have any issues regarding the stipulations,
but had some questions regarding stipulation #3 regarding the outdoor storage along the south
side of the maintenance building. He wasn't aware there was a problem or issue with storage
on that side of the building. They do have some very minimal storage there. There are some
things they use that they can certainly remove from there if iYs an issue. It was designed as a
storage area and is hard surface. He did not know what the stipulations were, if any, when the
storage building was constructed regarding storage, but they can certainly comply with the
stipulation if that is what is required.
Mr. Grote asked if Unity put up a more privacy-type fence versus the existing cyclone fence,
would they be able be able to store materials in that area if they were not in view of the
neighbors across the street?
Mr. Grote stated that regarding the stipulation about construction debris, he assumed it also
included blowing materials. It might be a good idea to clarify that stipulation, because they
couldn't do any construction without some debris. The issue might be that at times when they
have high wind, some debris does blow out into the neighborhood, but they do their best to try
and minimize that and take care of it as quickly as possible. He can say that any time he
receives a phone call, he will make sure the problem is corrected. No one has ever called him
personally and indicated any issues such as those brought up.
3
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 18, 2003 PAGE 4
Mr. Grote stated regarding stipulation # 5 about construction vehicles not bringing materials
before 7 a.m. and after 9 p.m. Is this stipulation for this project specifically, or is it a stipulation
for any construction projects in the future? His concern is, since this is a hospital, there are
times when they have to do some construction in the evening hours or early morning hours to
minimize the impact on some of their patients who are having procedures done or when the OR
is full with operations during the day. Is the issue with traffic on Lyric Lane, or is it the
construction activity itself? They do have an alternate route they can use for traffic during off
hours around the professional building. He would like some clarification on that.
Mr. Grote stated regarding stipulation # 6, they will remove the salt shed before the City Council
meeting. They have put some plans together for a project to create a salt storage area, and
they will be bringing that to the Planning Commission some time in the future. The PCA
requires that they store their salt in a storage facility so the rain and snowmelt doesn't wash it
down into the storm water system. So, they do have to do something about the salt shed. This
was an intermediary attempt at mitigating that in the short-term, and he apologized about not
asking the City's permission. Right now the blue tarp is covering salt so the rain won't wash it
away.
Mr. Grote stated regarding stipulations #8 and #9, they have met with City officials and plan to
complete a comprehensive campus parking plan in 2003 so that in 2004 they can begin
construction and any upgrades that might be required. They knew they were fairly close to the
limit on parking stalls by the requirements and the calculations.
Mr. Grote stated they also monitor their parking Iots. One of the reason they asked to build the
new parking lot on the north side of the campus last year was because they were getting
nervous about the available parking areas during peak times for their visitors. It's in their best
interest to provide adequate parking.
Ms. Savage asked Ms. Stromberg to clarify the Ciry policy on the outdoor storage of equipment.
Ms. Stromberg stated outdoor storage is not permitted in the R-1 district if it can be viewed from
the public right-of-way. If a solid screening fence was installed, then the outdoor storage would
not be viewed from the public right-of-way. The screening #ence can be discussed at a later
date. Also, to clarify the limit on construction vehicles, the concern came from the residents on
Lyric Lane regarding delivery vehicles coming down Lyric Lane for hospital construction. If
there is an alternate route, maybe they can change that a little bit. However, construction hours
are from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., so the City does not allow construction to take place before and after
those hours.
Mr. Grote asked if it is necessary for the hospital to perform some type of activity after those
hours, what should they do and who should they contact? They just built a new heart center
over at the Mercy campus, and there was a situation where they had no other option but to do
some construction work at about 4 in the morning.
Ms. Johns asked if that construction included a lot of noise that would wake neighbors.
Mr. Grote replied that particular construction didn't; however, it created some unsafe situations
as far as traffic control.
Mr. Kuechle stated the things like power cutovers and other similar kinds of things that need to
be done during off hours that no one notices do not cause any problems. The problems they
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, JUNE 18, 2003 PAGE 5
are talking about are the Ready Mix trucks coming in at 6 in the morning, breaking up the curb
at 6:00 in the morning, etc.
Mr. Kondrick stated the City is asking Unity to be a good neighbor. Unity Hospital is very
important to the community and the entire area. They have not performed in the past, and the
City would like to see a change there.
Mr. Oquist stated the outdoor sto�age of equipment is not allowed. The construction hours are
imposed on any kind of construction in a residential area. There was also the complaint about
the trees not being replaced.
Mr. Grote stated he has been at Uniry for 4%z years and the trees haven't been there since he
has started. He is thinking what happened is they were planted too close to the curb, and they
were probably killed during the winter by the snowplows. He wondered if a more privacy-styled
fence wouldn't appease the neighbors more perhaps than any other kind of landscape.
Mr. Oquist stated it would have to be continually maintained.
Ms. Savage stated the neighbors are not objecting to the expansion; they just have some
specific complaints that seem very legitimate.
Mr. Bruce Larson, BWBR Architects, stated his company worked on the addition. Regarding
the trash, that is part of their specifications, too. They will keep an eye on that as they do on
any other job. This is a pretty basic construction projects, so they shouldn't need to work on
off-hours. So, he doesn't have any problems with the stipulations from the architectural side.
MOTION by Mr. Kondrick, seconded by Mr. Kuechle, to close the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:03 P.M.
Mr. Oquist stated as far as the special use permit goes for the expansion, that is fine. He thinks
the Commission members have made their point that Unity need to clean up the area.
Regarding stipulation #4, maybe they can change it to say that the construction debris cannot
leave the subject property.
Mr. Kondrick stated he stated he had no problem with that wording.
Mr. Oquist asked if the stipulations as written will cover some of those concerns such as fixing
the trees, getting rid of the storage, the exterior equipment, etc.
Ms. Stromberg replied, yes. The only suggestion she had was regarding #4 to change it to read
the subject property shall be maintained free of any and all loose construction debris on the
premises or surrounding properties which would help the hospital know that it is the Ioose
debris they are talking about.
Mr. Larson replied the contractors know that and do police that. He suggested "manage
construction debris so it doesn't become a nuisance on the surrounding properties".
MOTtON by Mr. Oquist, seconded by Mr. Kondrick, to recommend approval of SP #03-10, by
Unity/Mercy Hospitals for a building expansion with the following stipulations:

Staff Report Prepared by: Stacy Stromberg
SP #03-10
REQUEST
The petitioner representing Unity Hospital, Tim Grote, is seeking a special use permit to
allow an expansion to the existing hospital, which is located in the R-1, Singte Family
zoning district. The hospital is located at 550 Osborne Road.
Unity Hospital and Minneapolis Radiation Oncology Inc, are proposing a 2,375 square foot
expansion to the existing Radiation Therapy center. This addition will be connected to the
existing Radiation Therapy center on the south side of the building. The existing Radiation
Therapy center was built in 1991. The expansion will be used for treatment rooms and
office space.
HISTORY AND ANALYSIS
The hospital was originally constructed in 1965. Additions to the hospital have occurred in
1967, 1970, 1971, 1980, 1981, 1982, 1985, 1991, 1993, 1996, and 1999. Also, located
on the property is a maintenance garage. Last fall the hospital constructed a new parking
lot on the north side of their property. Special use permits were granted in 1984, 1993,
1995, and 1999 to allow expansions of a hospital use in a residentially zoned district.
Existing Building
Hospitals are a permitted special use in the R-1 zoning district provided that the proposed
expansion complies with the requirements for the special use permit, subject to the
stipulations suggested by staff. The proposed expansion will be an addition to the existing
Radiation Therapy Center, which is located on the south side of the building. The
10
approximate size of the proposed addition will be 33 feet by 71.5 feet, which is
approximately 2,375 square feet. As was stated above, the proposed addition will be
used for outpatient treatment rooms and office space. The petitioner has stated that the
proposed addition may require an addition of 2 employees and 4 additional patients per
day.
Location of Proposed Expansion
Currently, the Unity campus has 1,069 spaces. City Code requires that upon completion of
the expansion, Unity Hospital campus have 1,062 parking stalls. The 1,062 parking stalls
is determined by using the standard of one parking space per 250 square feet of floor area
for the useable space and one parking space per every 2,000 square feet of floor area for
storage and mechanical space. Eighteen parking stalls will be lost from the proposed
expansion; therefore, the hospital campus will fall short of the code requirements by 11
parking stalls.
City staff has received complaints from surrounding neighbors about hospital employees
parking on Lyric Lane, however based on staffs observations it doesn't appear that a
parking problem exists. Staff has observed the property and suROUnding area at various
times during the day for the past finro weeks and has noticed that the parking lot has many
parking spaces open. Staff also noticed that there is a maximum of two vehicles parked
on Lyric Lane and it is hard to determine if those vehicles are related to the hospital or to
the single family homes on Lyric Lane. City staff will monitor the parking and tra�c on and
near the property and will require that additional parking be added, if it is determined tf�at it
is needed.
The proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements.
11
City staff has heard from neighboring properry owners who have had concems about
parking, traffic, debris on the grounds during construction, and the outdoor storage of items
along side the maintenance shed. The stipulations placed on this special use permit
request, should alleviate any of these concerns.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospitals are a
permitted special use in the R-1, Single Family zoning district, provided that the
proposed expansion complies with the requirements for the special use permit, subject
to stipulations.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be
attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain any required permit prior to the start of construction.
2. The parking lot shall be restored to Code requirements for paving, curbing and painting
after the addition is completed.
3. No outdoor storage of equipment or materials along the south side of the maintenance
building.
4. The subject properiy shall be maintained free of any and all construction debris.
5. Construction vehicles shall not bring materials before 7:00 am. or after 9:00 p.m.
6. Salt shed shall be removed prior to issuance of a building permit for the proposed
expansion.
7. The addition shall be architecturally compatible with the existing building and finished
with complementary siding and color scheme.
8. The City reserves the right to require additional parking should the demand of the
facility warrant it.
9. Any further expansions to the hospital will require the hospital to meet City code
requirements for hard surface parking.

Safe and Sober Communities Grant Agreement
July 10, 2003
The Anoka, Coon Rapids, Centennial Lakes, Lino Lakes, Columbia Heights, Spring Lake Park,
Ramsey, and Fridley Police Departments, and the Anoka County Sheriff's Office, are submitting
a joint grant request under the Safe and Sober Communities Grant Program. The State of
Minnesota Department of Public Safety uses this program to award funds provided by the Federal
Office of Traffic Safety to communities for use in traffic education and enforcement efforts.
The Safe and Sober Communities Grant Program is expected to provide approximately $5,000 to
each community to fund law enforcement officer overtime as they participate in joint enforcement
efforts. These enforcement efforts will take place on major holiday weekends, will coincide with
high school graduations in Anoka County, and on selected other weekends. The focus of these
traffic patrols will be on enforcement of impaired driving and seatbelt laws. Several of these
enforcement efforts will involve officers from all participating agencies simultaneously and will
coincide with similar efforts throughout the State of Minnesota.
In addition to the enforcement effort, community education through media advertising and news
releases, posters to educate motorists as to the risks and consequences of impaired driving and
failure to utilize seatbelts and passenger restraints will be funded. Each enforcement weekend
will be augmented by a corresponding advertising campaign. The City of Coon Rapids Police
Department will administer the Safe and Sober grant on behalf of the participating agencies.
The Safe and Sober grant will provide reimbursement to the City of Fridley for the salary and
benefits of our officers assigned to these overtime enforcement shifts. Some additional training is
required of our officers and the Safe and Sober grant will provide this training as well. The City
of Fridley provides officer time to attend this training, squad cars, fuel, and related supplies and
support to our officers assigned to the enforcement effort.
Staff recommends approval.

Disaster l�litigation Act of 2000 Brings New Planning Requirements
to Local Governments
Congress has a lonQ history of fundinD disaster relief, recovery and some hazard mitigation
planning throu�h the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Now, the Disaster Mitigation
Act of 20�0 �Public Law 106-39Q) reinforces the importance of mitigation planning in both pre-
and post-disaster situations, and emphasizes plannin� for disasters before they occur.
This document covers the basic requirements of the act. It includes a excerpts from the federal
rules covering Iocal mitigation plans and check lists of plan content and planning process
requirements.
Section 322 of the act specifically addresses
state and local miti�ation planning. It establishes
pre-disacter hazard mitigation funding and new
requirements for che national post disaster
Hazard Mitigation Grant Pro�ram (HMGP). It
identifies new requirements that a11ow I-II�iGP
funds to be used for planning activities, and
increases the amouat of HMGP funds available
to states that have developed a comprehensive,
enhanced mitigation plan prior to a disaster.
States and communities must have an approved
mitigation plan in place prior to receiving
HMGP funds. Local and tribal mitigation plans
must demonstrate that their proposed mitigation
measures are based on a sound planning process
that accounts for the risk to and the capabilities
uf the individual communities.
State government responsibilities include:
• Preparing a standard or enhanced state
mitigation plan
■ Reviewing and updating the state plan every
three years
■ Providing technical assistance and training
to local governments to assist them in
applying for HMGP b ants and in
developing local mitigation plans
The act encourages cooperation between state
and local authorities, prompting them to work
together. It rewards local and state �re-disaster
planning and promo[es disaster resistance as a
key component of sustainable development. The
intended result is better articulation of local and
state government mitigation needs, resultin� in
faster al]ocation of funding and more effective

interim Final Rule Details Requirements
To assist states and communities in complying with the new Disaster Mitigation Act
requirements, FEN1A prepared an Interim Final Rule, published in the Federal Register on
February 26, 2002, at 4-� CFR Part 201 and 206. The first part establishes planning criteria for
states and local communities, the second covers funding. �
These excerpts from part 201 cover the local miti�ation plan requirements.
Sec. 201.6 Local l�litigation Plaas.
The local mitigation plan is the representation of
the jurisdiction's commitment to reduce risks
from naturaI hazards, serving as a guide for
decision makers as they commit resources to
reducino the effects of natural ha2ards. Local
plans will also serve as the basis for the State to
provide technical assistance and to prioritize
project
fundin�.
(a) Ptan requirement.
(1) For disasiers declared after November 1,
2003, a local government must have a mitigation
plan approved pursuant to this section in order to
receive HMGP project grants. Until November
1, 2003, local mitigation plans may be
developed concurrent with the implementation
of the project grant.
(2) Regional Directors may grant an exception to
the plan requirement in extraordinary
circumstances, such as in a small and
impoverished community, when justification is
provided. In these cases, a plan will be
completed within 12 months of the award of the
project grant. If a plan is not provided within
this timeframe, the project grant will be
ternunated, and any.costs incurred after notice of
grant's termination will not be reimbursed by
FEMA.
(3) Multi jurisdictional plans (e.g. watershed
plans) may be accepted, as appropriate, as long
as each jurisdiction has participated in the
process and has officially adopted the plan.
Statewide plans will not be accepted as multi-
jurisdictiona( plans.
(b) Planning process. An open public
involvement process is essential to the
development of an effective plan. In order to
develop a more comprehensive approach to
reducing the effects of natural disasters, the
planning process shall include:
(1) An opportunity for the public to comment on
the plan during the drafting stage and prior to
plan approval;
(2) An opportunity for neighboring
communities, local and regional agencies
involved in hazard mitigation activities, and
agencies that have the authority to regulate
development, as well as businesses, academia
and other private and non-profit interesu to be
involved in the pianning process; and
(3) Review and incorporation, if appropriate, of
existin� plans, studies, reports, and technical
information.
(c) Plan contenG T'he plan shall include the
following:
(1) Documentation of the planning process used
to develop the plan, including how it was
prepared, who was involved in the process, and
how the public was involved_
(2) A risk assessment that provides the factual
basis for activities proposed in the strategy to
reduce losses from identified hazards. Local risk
assessments must provide sufficient information
to enable the jurisdiction to identify and
prioritize appropriate mitigation actions to
reduce losses from identified hazards. The risk
assessment shall incl�de:
(i) A description of the type, location, and
extent of all natural hazards that can affect
the jurisdiction. The ptan shall include
information on pre��ious occurrences of
19
�mr� ild�atlt� M�ule�
hazard events and on the probability of
future hazard events.
(ii) A description of the jurisdiction's
wlnerability to the hazards described in
para�raph (c)(2)(i) of this section. This
description shall include an overall summary
of each hazard and its impact on the
community. The plan should describe
vulnerabilitv in terms of:
(A) The types and numbers of existin�
and future buiIdings, infraswcture,
and critica] facilities located in the
identified hazard areas;
(B) An estimate of the potential dollar
losses to wlnerable structures
ident�ed in para�aph (c)(2)(i}(A) of
this section and a description of the
methodo(o�}+ used to prepare the
estimate;
(C) Providing a �eneral description of
land uses and development trends
within the community so [hat
mitigation options can be considered
in future land use decisions.
(iii) For multi jurisdictional plans, the risk
assessment section must assess each
jurisdiction's risks where they vary from the
risks facing the entire planning area.
(3) A mitigation strategy that provides the
jurisdiction's blueprint for reducing the potential
losses ident�ed in the risk assessment, based on
existing authorities, policies, programs and
resources, and its ability to expand on and
improve these existing
tools. 'I'his section shall include:
(i) A description of mitigation goals to
reduce or avoid long-term wlnerabilities to
the identified hazards.
(ii) A section that identifies and analyzes a
comprehensive ranae of specific mitigation
actions and projects being considered to
reduce the effects of each hazard, with
particular emphasis on new and existing
buildin�s and infrastrvcture.
(iii) An action plan describing how the
actions identified in parab aph (c)(2)(ii) of
this section will be prioritized, implemented,
and administered by the local jurisdiction.
Prioritization shall include a special
emphasis on the extent to which benefits are
ma.�cimized according to a cost benefit
review of the proposed projects and their
associated costs.
(iv) For multi-jurisdictional plans, there
must be identifiable action items specific to
the jurisdiction requestin� FEIvL� approval
or credit of the plan.
(=�) A plan maintenance process that includes:
(i) A section describin� the method and
schedule of monitoring, evaluating, and
updating the mitigation plan within a five-
year cycte.
(ii) A process by which local govemments
incorporate the requirements of the
mitigation plan into other planning
mechanisms such as comprehensive or
capital improvement plans, when
appropriate.
(iii) Discussion on how the community will
continue public participation in the plan
maintenance process.
(_5) Documentation that the plan has been
formally adopted by the governing body of the
jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan (e.g.,
City Council, County Commissioner, Tribal
Council). For multi jurisdictional plans, each
jurisdiction requesting approval of the plan must
document that it has been formally adopted.
(d) Plan rc��ew.
� l) Plans must be submitted to the State Hazard
Mitigation Officer for initia] review and
coordination. The State wiil then send the p}an
to the appropriate FEMA Regional Office for
formal review and approval.
(2) The Regional review will be completed
within 45 days after receipt from the State,
whenever possible.
(3) Plans must be reviewed, revised if
appropriate, and resubmitted for approval within
five years in order to continue to be elioible for
HMGP project grant funding.
(4) Managing States that have been approved
under the criteria established by FEMA pursuant
to 42 U.S.C. 5170c(c) will be delegated approval
authority for local mitigation plans, and the
review will be based on the criteria in this part.
Managing States will review lhe pians within 45
days of receipt of the plans, whenever possible,
and provide a copy of the approved plans to the
Reo onal Office.

As a result of the Disaster Mitigation Ad of 2000, FcMA now requires that in order to be eligibie fo�
�unds in the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP), a multi-hazard mitigation plan must first be in
piace. This becomes efFective November 1, 2004. FEMA has provided states with funding to help loca)
govemments partially fund such plans: one source has been t}vough the Pre-Disaster Mitigadon grant
program—these funds became available in 2002 and to date have all been allocated with no word yet
on whether the program will be funded for 2003; a second source of funding comes from the HMGP
program itself where planning funds can be allocated.
A.n application can be found online at:
ht:n://www.dem.state.mn.us/mitiaation/hmgo/planning/mit�lanaop odf
If interested in using the HMGP for planning please complete applications by May 1, 2003.
Ouestions & Answers
Q: Do we have to do this?
A: No, but then again you will not be eligible for HMGP funding that can help your community lesson
�tie impact of future disasters.
Q: When do we have to do this?
A: The deadline is November 1, 2004: a community has 12 months from receiving planning grants to
complete a draft plan; then six more months are given to finalize the plan.
Q: Can't I just wait for tfie other counties to do their plan and then I can copy theirs?
A: Whatever source you use you still need to do an original plan of your own--or participate in a
countywide plan. Public participation meetings and an assessment of risk to structures will be unique
to eac}i county, so not much room for plagiarism.
Q: What if my county is already completing a plan? �
A: Simply provide data and information and participate in the planning process via public meetings to
be induded under this plan; both the county and all its local govemments can then be covered under
the same plan. The plan must then be locally adopted via resolution or ordinance. �
Q: I am just a township / city, can I apply separately from the county?
A: Technically yes; however, in an efFort to cover more ground the state's focus will be toward the
county-level, with the inclusion of local communities.
Q: What role do Townships play?
A: Here in Minnesota we do not separate Townships from Cities when defining what a"municipality"
is (jurisdiction), they both hold equal powers when it comes to planning, zoning, subdivision, and
even building code adoption and enfortement. Thus, any jurisdiction / municipality (city or Township)
that foresees the need to apply for funding under HMGP should participate and officially adopt the
county's mitigation plan or consider completing a plan of their own if they so choose.
Q: To what extent do we need to address human-caused hazards?
A: The state of Minnesota is requiring that tfiese plans go beyond natural hazards and include

� �•
human-causzd hazards. i ne mock pian does provide a strategy �or categorizing these hazards and
the F�MA guide, "Integrating Human-Caus2d Hazards into Mitigation Planning" should be a good
resource as wefl. This wiil also be addressed in more detail at the Governors EM Conference on
Marcn 4.
Q: Who takes control of the pian when it is compieted? Where does it reside?
A: That uitimately depends on the community. Logically, if it were a county plan for example, the
county administrator would identify which agencies woufd implement what settions of the pian or
whicf� pa�ticular strategy, etc.
Q: We Emergency Managers do a lot of planning so why shouid we seek heip from other
land-use pianners?
A: Yes, EM persons are irvoived in many planning operations; however, EM persons must cooperate
with "other planners" in the county to get this large, comprehensive planning task completed.
Q: What projects can be funded under HMGP?
A: These questions would have to be fielded in more detail through the DEM o�ce with Lisa Dressfer.
It should also be stressed that the planning p�ocess should not focus primarily on what FEMA pays
for but rather what a community can accomplish.
Q: What if we do not complete plans right now; will we have a chance latter?
A: After the November 1, 2004 deadline FEMA requires mitigation plans be in place as a condition of
receiving mitigation funds. It is best to complete plans as early as possible and when funding is
available to help complete plans.
Q: How much money can I receive from this grant?
A: Show us a good proposal and we will consider it. County plans should not run over
$30K—Remember your %25 match. This is actually a bit on the high side given the available
resources at the state and local levels.
Q: I am a busy person, do I have to complete this plan all by myself?
A: No, we encourage you to use federal, state, and local resources to bring the plan components -
together—planne�s, emergency managers, etc.
Q: We are a tribal government, how can we participate?
A: If your lands lay within a county that is completing a plan you can participate like other local units
of government and be covered under the county plan. Tribal governments also have the option of
applying directly to FEMA for funding.
Q: Can I contract out some or all of the work needed to complete the plan?
A: Yes, for example through a Regional Development Commission, other local government office or a
private contractor.
Q: Do I need to be involved in National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to participate?
A: Yes, and in good standing
Q: Can I use HMGP funding for creating Flood Plans?
A: No, they must be "ALL" hazard plans. Flood management is certainly one component. HMGP funds
may be used toward mitigation efforts such as retrofitting structures or planning (apply separately).
Q; How often must I update ti�e plan?
A: Every 5 years (state updates its plan every 3). Note that in the event of a disaster the afFected
community must assure that the mitigation activity is covered in the plan; if not, it must be amend
via a resolution.
Q: What should a plan look like?
A: Plans need to include the components outlined in FEMA regulations; the state will provide a model
template for guidance. Exact content and length will depend on geography, hazard type and

RE: Public Hearing for Review of Special Use Permit # 73-07 to
Consider Revocation for Central Auto Parts, 1201 73 '/2 Avenue,
Fridley, MN.
INTRODUCTION
M-03-71
Staff scheduled the item for Council review and potential revocation of the special use permit.
At this time staff recommends that the stipulations of both Central Auto's 1973 and 1982
special use permits be combined (and further deiined) and that the property oumers be
required to meet all standards within a 12 —month time frame. At the end of this 12 — month
period, if all stipulations are not strictly adhered, staff recommends revocation of the special
use permit at that time.
ELEMENTS FOR CONSIDERATION
History of Site:
On Apri128,1970, the City Manager complained about junk cars in this area. An inspection
of the lot showed " lot strewn with junk cars" (picture on file). Staff contacted Leroy
Haluptzok at that time. Mr. Haluptzuk indicated that he intended to place a fence on site to
block the cars from view. Staff required that the fence be installed "as soon as possible". No
salvage yard approvals were in place; the land was not properly zoned for that use.
In October 1972, the City contacted Roger Gilquist, who was the apparent new contact for
1201 73 1/2 Avenue (Central's location). The City granted Mr. Gilquist permission to move
an existing building from the south side of 73 %2 Avenue to the north side of 73 %z Avenue,
provided they complied with several stipulations including:
1. Building permit for the work be obtained.
2. Fence around yard north of 73 '/2 be repaired, painted or stained, all cars and parts be kept
inside the fence on the north location.

Re: Special Use Permit #73-07
Central Auto Parts, Fridley, MN
Ou.r File No.: 12298/030289
Dear Mr. Bolin:
Gerald Haluptzok, owner and operator of Central Auto Parts, located at 1201 73 %:
Avenue N�.E. in Fridley, engaged ouT firm to assist him with compliance matters concerning
renewal of the Special Use Peimit ("SUP #73-07'� which the City Council qf Fridley will

matters at the upcoming public hearing.
Mr. Haluptzok is committed to operating his business in compliance with a11 applicable
local, county, and state rules and regulations. He is willing to fully caoperate with the City of

responsible business owner and operator, as well as an emplayer in the community.
We also appreciate this opportunity to provide you v�rith the following information prior

Mr. Haluptzok has mainly addressed each of the Fridley Planning Divisions concems
regardin� stipulations in SUP #73-07, which are indicated it's June 6, 2003, memorandum to Mr.
William ! Burns, City Manager. Over the past several weeks, Mr, Haluptzok has proaessed
approxzmately 300 salvage vehicles. At this time, approximately 100 salvage vehi.cles stored in
the yard contains fluids which have not yet been drained. These remaining vehicles will be
processed by the end of this week. The reason so many were stored prior to processing was due
to an unusually high number of salvage vehicles delivered to the yazd over a relatively s�hort
amount of time. Mr. Haluptzok will now only accept the number of vehicles he can process
within a week, and he selectively chooses which vehicles to accept, thus eliminating the need to
store unprocessed vehicles in the yazd for significant amounts of time.
In summary:
■ No salvage vehicles are stored outside the fence at Central Auto Parts, and no
salvage vehicles are stored in the customer/employee parking lot at the facility;
■ No crushed or uncrushed salvage vehicles are stored higb,er than the fence within
the fenced area at the facility;
■ Approximately 300 of 400 uncrushed salvage vehicles (that previously contained
fluids) have been drained of all fluids and other hazardous materials have been
removed from these same salvage vehicles. By the end of the week, all salvage
vehicles will be processed;
■ Spent lead-acid batteries aze, and will continue to be, remo�ved from salvage
vehicles as the salvage vehicles aze brought into the facility. The batteries aze
tested to determine if they are in good condition for resale or, if not, they are
recycled. Resale batteries are cleaned up and stored indoors until they are sold.
Recycled batteries are placed in a special container indoors unril they are picked
up for off-site disposal; _
Documentation for disposal of used oil, spent lead-acid batteties, Freon,
petroleum (dieseI and gasoline), antifreeze, used solvent, and radiator boil tank
sludge is maintained by Central Auto Parts and has been made available for
inspection by Anoka Cflunty Community Health and Environmental Serrrices
Department personnel. Th�se documents are also available to other applicable
regulatory agencies. Mr. Haluptzok has discussed with Anoka County submission
of waste maruifest documentatiozt to the proper parties. We have d�termined that
Mr. T�ialuptzok is required ta submit manifests to the �i�nnepin County, via the
Metro Manifest and Collection Posta.l Drop ("MMCpD"), wh�ich is a recent
chan�e (the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency used to be the regulatory agency
that maintained the hazardous waste management database and distriburion).

Reporting forms with the proper address aze given to Mr. Haluptzok by Anoka
County. Mr. Haluptzok uses these forms in reporting his hazardous waste. The
MMCPD tr.en enters this information in their database and forwards a copy to
Anoka County. According to Anoka County, Mr. Haluptzok is complying with
these requirements since it was not indicated in their last inspection. If there aze
any other reporting requirements that need to be addressed at this time, Mr.
Haluptzok will cooperate as needed.
We understand that the City Council has three options th.ey may consider regardin.g SUP
#73-07: (1) issue the SUP #73-07 as is, with existing sripulations (i.e., no changes to SUP #73-
0'�; (2) issue the SUP #73-07 with new or different stipuIadons or assurances &om Mr.
Haluptzok; or, (3) not issue the SUP.
We understand from N1r. Scott Hickok, Communit� Development Director, Fridley
Planning Division, that Planning Division staff will recommend to the City Council ra-issuance
of SUP #73-07 to Mr. Haluptzok, with existing and additional stipuladons.
We respect;fully request the City Council to re-issue SUP #73-07 with mod.ified
stipulations and/or assurances that are agreeable to the City and Mr. Haluptzok. Besides being
committed to complying with exisdng applicable stipulations, we are willing to discuss the
Fridiey Planning Division modifications to the existing stipulations and/or other assurances
during the City Council's public hearing on 7uly 14, 2003.
Related to this, lv�r. �ialuptzok proposes to provide the City Planming Division periodic
reports or other c�mmunication conce�ming his operations and actions he will be taking to re�nain
in compliance with the SUP.
He also proposes to communicate with the City Planning Division regazding wmpliance
matters with his business that involve the Anoka County Community Health and Envirozunental
Services Aepartment, the Minnesota Pollution Con�ral Agency, and other environmental
rewlatory entities he interacts with as it relates to Central Auto Parts operations. His goal is to
provide the City information it needs to verify that Central Auto Parts is maintaining compliance
with City requirements, as well as other regulatory requirements.
We have also assisted Mr. Haluptzok with ideas on haw to improve his business pracrices
that would exceed minimum compliance with environmental regulations. For example, the
Anoka County Communifiy Health and En�vironmental Services Depaztrnerrt issues and enforces
Mr. Haluptzok's hazardous waste generator license, and has an annual fee of �5,000. Anaka
County will deduct a certain amount of the license fee if the regulated entity implements Best
Management Practices ("BMPs"), provides annual solid and hazardous wastes recycling reports,
and has been in full compliance with Anoka County requirements for the previous year. The
ded.ucted fees could then be used to fiu�ther improve the site and provide addirional incentive to

program.
Mr. Haluptzok has also reviewed other environmental permits he maintains to operate his
business, and is exploring improvements to compliance matters, such as training, reporting,
recordkeeping, labeling, etc. Mr. T�alupizok recendy obtai.ned a NlPCA video training tape
concerning waste management and recycling, and reviewed it with his employees.
Mr. Haluptzok has also obtained specific compliance information concerning salvage
facilities (e.g., the "Motor Vehicle Salvage Facility Environmental Compliance Manual"

consultant, which may help him with pteparation of future environmental compliance plans and
on-going permitting.

3. All junk cars and car parts be completely cleared from lot south of 73 `/z.
4. That all debris, cars, and parts be kept inside fence on the north location.
5. That it be understood that the lot north of 73 '/2 cannot be expanded beyond its present
boundaries. All items were to be accomplished by December l, 1972. _.
>
On February 1�, 1973, a buildin� permit is requested to construct a metal building.
On June 23, 1973, staff contacted the owners of the Central Auto Parts site to alert them that
junk vehicles must be stored within the confines of a solid board-screening fence and that no
vehicles can be dismantled outside the fence or on the public right-of-way.
A response letter from an attorney for the property owner thanked staff for their letter,
indicated Mr. Buzick had been out of town and that, "We have since had a meeting with all
our employees and have instructed them that under no circumstances is this to happen
again. "
On July 20, 1973, a building permit is requested to construct a 70' x 134' metal building. The
building permit request was to appear on the next Building Standards - Design Control
Subcommittee (City of Fridley) Agenda. At the July 26, 1973, Building Standards - Design
Control Subcommittee, Mr. Buzick stated, "this was a new concept in salvage yard design,
where the car would be torn down, parts would be stored in the warehouse and the remaining
unusec� vehicle would be hauled away.. He said with this rype of operation it would make a
salvage yard more functional and less expensive to operate. He said the dimensions of the
building he is proposing would be 13�' x 70'; in which a major portion of the building would
be used fvr warehoarsing and storage of parts ". The committee also Mr. Tonco (of the
Subcommittee) said that the parking lot should go in at the time of construction. Mr. Buzick
expressed concern because 73 %2 was a dirt road at the time and he indicated that the sandy
soil on his site would cause "break-off' problems. A timetable was to be worked out with
City staff as a result of that consideration.
In August 1973, a rezoning and special use permit were considered by the City Council to
allow Junk yards or the baling of junk or Rags in a building enclosed on all sides or when
completely enclosed in a solid fence.
The City Engineer stated that the improvement of the property has begun and plans have been
presented. Mr. Buzick from Central Auto Parts was present and the City Engineer
recommended approval of the request with the following stipulations:
1. Building will be metal with brick veneer.
2. Time table for improvements should be submitted by the applicant and improvements to
the property were to be within one year after the street was improved.
3. Drainage problem will be taken care o£
4. The fence shall be improved by being painted and uniform in size.
5. No cars should be piled higher than the fence.
6. No cars will be outside the fence.
35

7. Licensin� will be needed and the applicant to meet requirements of license procedure.
Councilmember Breider emphasized that it is very necessary that nothing be outside the fence
and that the site be kept neat and clean. Council approved the requests.
On October 4, 1973, (after assurance from Thomas Flaherty, Mr. Buzick's attorney that they
would allow no reoccurring violations of this type) John Buzick was notified of a violation by
parking of dismantled, non-operating, wrecked, junked, or discarded vehicles in violation of
Code Section 39.04.
On August 19 1974, certified letter of the same violations notified Mr. Buzick.
Throughout the years to follow violations occuned and staff has had to deal with the same
violations.
In 1979, the City was extremely frustrated with the on-going non-compliance and indicated
that they would post the street "No Parking" as a result.
In 1981, Mr. Buzick's license was not going to be renewed without 11 stipulations being met.
These items ranged from providing hard surfaced driveways accessing yard at 73 %2 Avenue,
to providing curbing along perimeter of west parking azea, to planting additional landscaping,
maintaining landscaping, maintaining fence, to providing a drainage plan, and bringing
property at 1136 731/2 Avenue into compliance with Chapter 205 (during the year 1982).
An analysis of soil conditions was completed in 1982. In the conclusions of the report, it
stated that a stilling basin should be constructed in the southwestern region of the property to
handle any surface run-off on this site. Also, provisions should be made to protect this site
from surface run-off contributed by the properties to the east. The property owner piped his
run-off from east to west along the northern portion of his site, dumping the water onto the
undeveloped property to the east.
In December 1982, Central Auto Parts, John Buzick, sought a new special use permit for
additional land he would purchase adjacent to his existing operation. The Special Use Permit
was approved with 7 stipulations.
1. Special Use Permit granted to the business for 3 years.
2. Driveways or limited access be authorized onto 73`d Avenue.
3. Solid screening fence be placed completely around property.
4. Additional landscaping be placed along the screenina fence on 73`d and 73 %2 Ave (work
with staf fl. y

6. A surface drainage plan be developed to ensure protection of Norton Creek of pollution
and contamination.
7. At the time of construction, consider underground sprinkling, driveways, and parking to
comply �vith our Zoning Code requirements.
vlay 1983, Stipulations of SP 82-11 were not met.
June 1983, Thomas Flaherty sent a letter with timelines for completion of the requirements of
SP82-1 l. In his letter he indicated many items could not be completed until 1984. He also
indicated that they did not have any intentions of constructing anything then, or in the future
(assumed referring to stipulations for hard-surface parking and imgation to be considered at
time of construction).
The 1986 Licensure renewal showed problems with compliance. Cars were repeatedly piled
too high, etc. During this year, a soil contamination test was also required and completed.
Public Works Director, John Flora, indicated that the tests should show no soil contamination
in the area of the borings.
In 1986, City Engineering Staff would require that a weir at 1136 73 %z be "fixed" prior to
Central's license being renewed.
Subsequent years show problems with compliance. Questions are raised nearly every time
review if licensure occurs.
In 1997, City Staff (including the Fire Hazmat team), the County Health Department, and the
MPCA are called to this site due to a release of potentially hazardous fluids onto 73rd Street.
Hazmat absorbent pads are used to try and contain fluid prior to entering Norton Creek.
County Health Officials and the MPCA were to coordinate on resolution.
In 1999, the City contemplated redevelopment of the salvage yards north of 73`d. Early
discussions with the owners ensued; however, no offers were made. Analysis continued into
and throughout 2000. By early 2001, it appeared that there might be enough tax increment in
the district to make a project work. By the end of the 2001 legislative session, it was clear
that we would be losing 40% of the ta�c increment to be generated in that district. The loss of
the tax increment earnings also meant the loss of the redevelopment project as a priority.
One year ago, staff inet with Mr. Buzick, the property owner of 1201 73 %2 Avenue, and the
tenant, Gerald Haluptzok, Central Auto Parts, to discuss the on-going, non-compliant issues
�vith the above referenced property that needed to be conected by August l, 2002,
37
Central Auto Parts Special Use Permit
July 8, 2003
Page 5
and that were to remain in compliance throughout the year. Non-compliance of the
stipulations set forth would result in the review, by City Council, of the special use permit
needed to operate a salvage yard in the City of Fridley. Periodically, throughout 2002,
inspections were conducted, only to find the property in violation of the same issues discussed
in the previous meeting. The meeting proved to be fruitless.
Review of County inspection reports reveal repeated serious offenses with each inspection.
Some offenses appear to be ongoing and requirements ignored, including: improper storage of
lead batteries, open unlabeled drums of fluid, vehicles stored with hazardous waste on
unimproved surfaces...
During the process of reviewing Central Auto Parts' 2003 application for renewal of the
junkyard license, another inspection revealed a continued failure to comply with stipulations.
1973 Stipulations not being met include the following:
l. No storage of junk vehicles in the customer parking lot. The parking lot has remained full
of junk vehicles. There is no room in the parking lot for customer parking.
2. All junk vehicles must be screened from the public right-of-way, stored behind the fence
and not stacked above the fence line.
3. Make all improvements toward the Anoka County Hazardous Waste Report. There has
been continued failure to remove fluids from vehicles prior to storage, spent lead-acid
batteries are not being stored appropriately.
4. Copies of the hazardous waste manifest are not being submitted to the Metro Manifest and
Collection Postal Drop.
There are also several 1982 stipulations not being met, including:
5. Solid screening fence be placed completely around property
6. Additional landscaping be placed along the screening fence on 73`d and 73 %2 Ave (work
with staf�.
7. Concrete driveways extending a minimum of 10 feet beyond the screening fence into
property from the street.
8. A surface drainage plan be developed to ensure protection of Norton Creek of pollution
and contamination.
9. At the time of construction, consider underground sprinkling, driveways, and parking to
comply with our Zoning Code requirements.
Conclusion:
Staff scheduled the item for Council review and potential revocation of the special use permit
due to the site's history of non-compliance. At this time, staff recommends that
K :
Central Auto Parts Special Use Permit
July 8, 2003
Page 6
the stipulations of both special use permits be combined and that the property owners be
required to meet all standards �vithin a 12 —month time frame. At the end of this 12 — month
period, if all stipulations are not strictly adhered, staff recommends revocation of the special
use permit at that time.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
At this time staff recommends that the stipulations of both special use permits be combined
and that the property owners be required to meet all standards within a 12 —month time frame.
At the end of this 12 — month period, if all stipulations are not strictly adhered, sta.ff
recommends revocation of the special use permit at that time.
Compliance will require a hard-surfaced parking/storage azea over entire area where cars are
intended to be parked, stored, piled etc. An approved grading, drainage, and hard surface
curb and gutter plan shall be submitted and approved, prior to installation of surface. All
surface installation shall be completed by 7-31-2004, or the special use permit for this site
shall be revoked.
Combined 1973 and 1982 Stipulations are as follows:
1. Building �vill be metal with brick veneer.
2. Timetable for improvements should be submitted by the applicant and improvements to
the property �vere to be within one year after the street was improved.
3. Drainage problem will be taken care of.
4. No cars should be piled higher than the fence.
5. No cars (except employee and customer cars in operational condition parking in the areas
to be stripped and designated as employee/customer parking) will be outside the fence.
6. Driveways or limited access be authorized onto 73�Avenue.
7. Solid screening fence be placed completely around property (and maintained in excellent
condition).
8. Additional landscaping be placed along the screening fence on 73 '/z Ave (work with
staffl. C a�.rs;d.��
9. Concrete driveways extending a minimum of 10 feet beyond the screening fence into
property from the street.
10. A surface drainage plan be developed (and approved by staffl to ensure protection of
Norton Creek of pollution and contamination.
11. At the time of construction, consider underground sprinkling, driveways, and parking to

*Note, in the SP82-11 language of stipulation #9 (new 14) it states, "At the time of
construction, consider underground sprinkling, driveways, and parking to comply with our
zoning requirements". This language is structured as if those requirements were only if future
construction occurred. This is not so, hard-surface parking was required in the 1971
amendments to Fridley's Zoning Code. Therefore, the entire area where cars are kept must be
hard surfaced and an appropriate storm water plan must be submitted relative to this added
hard surface. Staff was not authorized to make hard-surface parking an"if' statement. The
1971 ordinance required hard surface, and it should have been installed. Hazd surface will be
a requirement for compliance within the recommended 12-month timeframe, as will a new
curbing, landscape, and irrigation plan for the perimeter of this site.

Springbrook Watershed Implementation Project Engineering Services Contract II
Background
Over the past year, the Springbrook �i atershed Project Advisory Committee has been searching for a
preliminary storm water management design that will help reduce storm water flows into the Springbrook
Nature Center's east inlet. On June 26, the Advisory Committee approved a proposal from WSB and
Associates, Inc. to prepare final designs for expansion of the existing storm water pond in the southeast
comer of 85"' and University Avenues. This pond is located in MnDOT right of way, and staff has received
preliminary indications that MnDOT will accept this pond design, but final plans and a maintenance
agreement must be prepared before MnDOT will give official approval. WSB has agreed to complete the
engineering tasks necessary to get the Committee to the construction phase of the project for a fee of
$28,500.
WSB's proposed fees are slightly over the project budgeted amount set aside for design. However, we can
adjust the amount spent on construction to stay within the design/construction portion of the budget. We
have also remained significantly under budget in other areas of the project to date. The cost of this design
work will primarily be paid for with MPCA Clean Water Partnership grant funds, however, each
contributing city in this project will also be providing matching cash and inkind funding. Fridley's 2003
cash contribution to the project is set to be $8,609.33.
Once the final design plans are complete, the plans will be reviewed by the Project Advisory Committee.
The design plans will also be forwarded to the Blaine and Spring Lake Park City Councils for review before
soliciting bids on the construction work. Fall construction is planned to avoid the holiday shopping season at
Northtown Mall.
Although the Springbrook Watershed Project Advisory Committee has approved WSB's proposal, the
contract for services is made between the City of Fridley and WSB, since Fridley is the lead agency in this
project with all finances being managed by Fridley.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the attached agreement, dated July 3, 2003, with WSB &
Associates, Inc. for engineering services related to the Springbrook Watershed Phase II Implementation
Project, authorizing the City Manager to execute the agreement.
