City's snow plowing operation and the police could call out crews for sanding and salting when
in their view the conditions warranted it. There were four starting points for plowing each
district and the crews chose a new starting point with each snowfall. Red line (collector) streets
were plowed first, which took four to six hours. Neighborhood streets were plowed next, which
0

took six to eight hours. Within twelve to sixteen hou.rs after the streets are plowed, the City
plowed concrete sidewalks, improved alleys that run from block to block and municipal parking
lots. The City did not plow bikeways or asphalt paths. The plan also specified that there was to
be no parking on City streets between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. between November 1 and April 1.
For larger snowstorms of 8 to 1� inches, plowing would generally commence when there was
about 6 inches of snow on the streets. If the storm was expected to bring more than 15 inches of

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr. Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, discussed the deck that was removed at
157 Hartman Circle, which included photographs that showed the deck and its close proximity to
the Mississippi River's edge. The purpose of his presentation was to create record regarding the
contested abatement of the structure and to respond to a letter dated May 27, 2003, from Mr.
Christopher Dietzen on behalf of the property owner.
Mr. Hickok said City records showed that the home was built in 1956, and a permit was issued.
No plans were submitted nor permits issued at that time for a deck at that location. No additional
permits were requested until electrical and heating permits were requested and issued in 1976. It
was clear from the records that many permits were requested and issued for work done at this
address, yet no permit was requested or issued far the deck. Mr. Ulrich's attorney stated that by
1975 a larger deck structure was built over the footings and made part of the patio platform. The
- deck as it existed in 1974 and as it was remodeled was a lawful use under the existing City
ordinances. In July, 1997, tv�,ro deck permits were issued, neither of which were for the deck in
_ question;
Mr. Hickok said the 1971 Code of Ordinances stated that "no use shall be permitted in any
district, nor shall existing land contour or drainage be substantially altered without a building
permit. No such permit shall be issued for any building or use not in conformity."
Consequently, the deck was built without a permit. Attorney Dietzen stated his client bought the
house in 1974 and by 1975, a larger deck structure was built over the footings and made part of
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 6
the patio platform. He said the deck was remodeled around 1975 under the then-existing
ordinances. This statement was incorrect and further served as an admission by his client.
Attorney Dietzen indicated that since the deck was built, the City adopted an ordinance
prohibiting structures within 40 feet of the bluff. Mr. Hickok said the deck had been completely
reconstructed and the wood and concrete had not weathered one season. Complete
reconstruction eliminated any previous status.
Mr. Hickok said that Attorney Dietzen stated that around September 19 or 20, 2002, City
officials went to the property without consent and decided the deck violated the river bluff
requirement. On October 21, 2002, the City sent a letter that stated the deck was illegal and it
needed to be removed. On September 19, 2002, Mr. Ulrich was approach at the front door of his
home by Ron Julkowski, Chief Building Official; Dave Jensen, Building Inspector, and Scott
Hickok, Community Development Directar. They asked for permission to see the deck that was
under construction. Mr. Ulrich agreed. When staff saw the structure, it was clear it was
constructed without a permit, improperly positioned over the bluff, and the construction
techniques were faulty. An inspection report was left with the construction owner on that day.
It said the deck must be removed within 30 days.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked him to read what the report said.
�
Mr. Hickok stated that it said "Note: Structures of any form must not be built on the river bluff in
accordance with the DNR, Army Corps of Engineers, and procedures requiring building
permits." He said Section 1042.5 of the 1997 Uniform Building Code stated that when it was
necessary to make an inspection to enforce the provisions of the code or when the building
official had reasonable cause to believe that there existed in a building or upon a premises a
condition that was contrary to or in violation of the code that makes the premises unsafe,
dangerous or hazardous, the building official may enter the building or premises at a reasonable
time to inspect or perform the duties imposed by the code. With the provisions of the code and
just cause based on the first-hand account by a witness regarding the construction and with Mr.
Ulrich's permission, staff entered the property. The same section of the 1997 Uniform Building
Code also stated that whenever any building or structure or equipment therein regulated by the
code was being used contrary to the provisions of the code, the building official may order such
use discontinued and the structure or portion thereof vacated by notice served on any person.
The person shall discontinue the use within the time prescribed by the building official after such
notice to make the structure or portion thereof comply with the requirements of the code. The
written order was given directly to Mr. Ulrich on September 19, 2Q02. That order gave 31 days
to remove the structure in accordance with Chapter 1042.5. On October 18, Mr. Ulrich
contacted Councilmember Ann Bolkcom and asked for relief from the requirement. -
Councilmember Bolkcom described the variance process to Mr. Ulrich and asked staff to send
further information on the process to Mr. Ulrich. Mr. Ulrich was given until November 8, 2002, _
to submit a complete application. Emphasis was placed on completion of the application and an
instruction was given that if the application was not complete, the application would be rejected.
Mr. Ulrich submitted the application on November 8. In accordance with Statute 15.99, the City
had 10 days to send written notice that an application was incomplete. A letter was sent 6 days
after the application was received, which stated that the application failed to include a scaled site
map with any reference to the bluff line from which Mr. Ulrich was seeking a variance.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 7
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the City sent a letter to Mr. Ulrich within six days after the
application was received stated that it was not complete and that it still needed the survey.
Mr. Hickok said it did. The letter stated that the application was insufficient. In the letter, NIr.
Ulrich was also alerted that he had an additional 30 days to remove the structure or it would be
removed, and costs plus a 2� percent administration fee would be assessed to the property. No
response was received from i�Ir. Ulrich. According to Mr. Ulrich's attorney, on January 30,
2003, city officials armed with numerous police officers and squad cazs entered on to the
_ property without permission and removed the deck. Staff arrived on site with Advance
Restoration Company, the company hired to remove the deck. Advance Restoration requested
police accompaniment for the abatement. Officers Knutson, Cardinal and Sergeant Prois were
` initially on the site. Officer Knutson's report indicated that when they arrived they stood by as
workers began to take down the deck. Mr. Ulrich came out of the house and asked what we were
doing on his property. Mr. Ulrich was advised that they were there to make sure everything ran
smoothly, and he said there would be no problems. Officer Knutson remained in the area while
Sergeant Prois and Officer Cardinal left. Shortly after, Mr. Ulrich left without further incident.
Officer Knutson then left and told us to let him know if we needed them to come back.
Mr. Hickok said the deck was not a legal, non-conforming structure. It had been entirely rebui�t
without a permit. Proper procedures for abatement were followed. The City's abatement
process required 30 days. Mr. Ulrich was given over four months. He could have provided a
schedule for compliance with the law, but he did not. He was offered the right to appeal to the
Appeals Commission, but failed to provide necessary information. His project could not receive
a building permit or a variance because it was contrary to Fridley's city ordinances and to the
Mississippi National River and Recreation Area standards for protecting the natural appearance
of the river corridor. Permits could not be granted for such uses in this river corridor. Witnesses
would testify to the new construction they observed on this site and that the entire structure was
built after March, 2001. Staff recommended that this assessment be paid and the costs be borne
by the individual rather than the City.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if in 1974 or prior there was a permit issued for the deck.
Mr. Hickok said there was not.
Attorney Dietzen, the attorney for Mr. Ulrich, said the City refened to witnesses but none had
been identified. He said there was a disagreement on the facts and on the law. They think the
City violated its own procedure in not conducting a public hearing to determine if there was a
non-conforming use. They did not think that the City followed procedure to remove the deck.
The statement that Mr. Ulrich was offered the right to appeal and told exactly about the process
was false. Council was told that the variance application was incomplete and was returned. Mr.
Ulrich was told that if he applied for a variance by whenever the date was, he did not need to do
anything further. He was told when he submitted the application that it was complete. The City
sent it back and followed the process of removing the deck, which he and his client thought
violated the law and Mr. Ulrich's constitutional property rights. The statement was made that
staff made it clear to Mr. Ulrich that he needed a scaled map. That was not true. Mr. Ulrich was
told a sketch would be acceptable. When he submitted the application he was told it was
�
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 8
complete. There was no evidence that the deck was unsafe and dangerous. If it was unsafe, the
City should have notified Mr. Ulrich. The City forcefully removed the deck. Mr. Ulrich did not
agree to it.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there were any police officers with staff.
Attorney Dietzen said there were not.
Councilmember Bolkcom said in Mr. Hickok's presentation he said they knocked on the door
and Mr. Ulrich said he would put his shoes on and meet them out back. In a sense, that was
giving permission to go on his property.
Attorney Dietzen said Mr. Ulrich did not intend to or give consent. He understood when they
knocked at his door that they were going to inspect the property. They were not asking for
permission.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if by telling staff he needed to put his shoes on and would meet
them out back was not giving consent.
Attorney Dietzen said Mr. Ulrich did not remember saying that. Mr. Ulrich remembered them
coming to the door and saying we are going to inspect the deck. They identified themselves as
City officials and led him to believe that they had the authority to inspect the deck. A number of
statements were made by Mr. Hickok that the deck was contrary to the bluff ordinance and
contrary to the DNR and the Corps of Engineers. As the ordinances or laws exist today, that was
true. His client's position was that he had a legal, non-conforming use.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the deck that was torn down had been in the exact same
location since 1974 when the house was purchased.
Attorney Dietzen said in 1975, the deck had footings and was in that location. When it was
remodeled in 2001, there was some expansion of the deck. Mr. Ulrich acknowledged that and
offered to rebuild the deck as it was configured prior to 2001. He had two witnesses, Laurie
Rackos, who moved into the neighborhood in 1960, would testify that the deck was there in the
late 1960's. Dr. Dahl was on the deck when there was an open house after Mr. Ulrich moved
into the home in 1974. The deck had been there continuously from the late 1960s until the
present date. He said he had spoken to the former owner who confirmed that the deck had been
there continuously during the time he owned the property.
Councilmember Bolkcom said that Attorney Dietzen's letter stated that Mr. Ulrich moved into
the home in the summer of 1974 and at the time there was an existing stairway, walkway and
footings for a deck. The letter also said that Mr. Ulrich immediately commenced building the
deck over the footings and the work on the deck was completed in 1975.
Attorney Dietzen said the house was built in 1956. When Mr. Ulrich moved into the house in
1974, a platform was over the footings.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 9
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there was a permit at that time.
Attorney Dietzen said when Mr. Ulrich moved into the home in 1974, it was already there.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if he did or did not build a deck.
Attorney Dietzen said that in his letter he should have said there were footings and a platform
over the footings. In 1974, Mr. Ulrich improved on what was already there.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if that was in the same location as the deck that was torn down.
Attorney Dietzen said that what was there in the 1974/1975 timeframe stayed there until
approximately 2001. In 2001 the deck was made larger.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how much larger.
Attorney Dietzen said in 1974 the deck was approximately 16 or 18 feet by 24 feet and it had
room for storage, existing footings, a platform over the footings, and a stairway.
Councilmember Bolkcom said it was expanded in 2001.
Attorney Dietzen said it happened a little at a time.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the size and if there was a building permit.
Attorney Dietzen said there was not a building permit for that. He did not know for sure what
the dimensions were, but thought it was 24 feet. He was not sure of the width, but it looked like
there were two platforms rather than one.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if it encroached on the river bluff mare in 2001.
Attorney Dietzen said he did not know which direction it went.
Councilmember Bolkcom said in 2001, there was a river bluff ordinance. She asked if he knew
whether in 2001 the expansion encroached upon the river bluff.
Attorney Dietzen said he could not answer the question. His client's wanted to be able to rebuild
the deck as it existed prior to the work done in 2001.
Councilmember Bolkcom said there was nothing on record anywhere because there was never
any building permit or surveys.
Attorney Dietzen said they looked at aerial photographs and pictures and there was no question
as to where the deck was.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they knew where the original footings were.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 10
Attorney Dietzen said even if there were inspections, he did not know if they would have
identified exactly where the footings were.
Councilmember Bolkcom said if there had been a building permit, there would have been a
record on where the deck was going to be in relationship to the house and the river bluff.
Attorney Dietzen said if the deck was being built .today and an application made, there would be
a survey. In the late 1960s, there were no such requirements. It was their position that Mr.
Ulrich established a legal, non-conforming use and a right to continue the deck at that location.
Councilmember Bolkcom said without an expansion. He would have to get a permit for an
expansion.
Attorney Dietzen agreed.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how it could be a legal, non-conforming use if there was no
application for a building permit.
Attorney Dietzen said legally he had a right to continue the non-conformity. They could locate
the non-conformity.
Councilmember Bolkcom said if there was a deck in the 1960s and he just completed it, that
would be a legal, non-conforming deck until it was over 50 percent destroyed or removed. She
asked if it would be a legal, non-conforming use if it was added on to.
Attorney Dietzen said that under the cunent statute, Mr. Ulrich had a right to repair and maintain
the legal non-conformity, but not add on. To the extent he added on, that would have to be
removed. If he did not have a building permit, the remedy was not to remove the building, but
for him to apply for and obtain a building permit. To the extent that he was simply repairing or
maintaining a legal non-conforming use, he did not need a building permit.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked for confirmation by the City Attorney.
Attorney Fritz Knaak, City Attorney, said if a non-conforming use was expanded, a variance was
necessary. In this circumstance a building permit would also be necessary. If any kind of
structure repair was done, a building permit was required. To expand a non-conforming use
required a variance application.
Mr. William Burns, City Manager, asked about the 50 percent requirement.
Attorney Knaak said it would be all casualties and self-caused.
Mr. Burns asked if the law assumed that the non-conforming status was lost if the individual
disassembled the project by more than 50 percent.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 11
Attorney Knaak said there were ways to discontinue a use or have an otherwise non-confornung
use become unlawFuL
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if someone applied for a building permit at some point they
would be told that they also needed a variance.
Attorney Knaak said typically.
Attorney Dietzen said he did not disagree that if there was an expansion of a pre-existing, non-
conforming use that one could apply for a variance. It was done in this case, and they believe
that it was improper for the City to reject the application. The proper procedure would have been
to say it was incomplete. Statute 462.3�7 indicated that if the non-conforming use was destroyed
by fire or other peril to the extent of greater than 50 percent of its market value, any subsequent
use shall be conforming. The fire or other peril was not the circumstance that applied in this
case. The other part of the statute indicated that if the non-conformity or occupancy was
discontinued for more than one year, any subsequent use shall be conforming. The testimony of
Mr. Ulrich and the two witnesses was that during this time period there was no discontinuance of
the use for more than one year. Their perspective was that as of 2001, there was a pre-e�cisting,
non-conforming legal use. The removal of the deck by the City was unlawful. Mr. Ulrich
believed that he had a right to a legal, non-conforming use and he was willing to have that use be
maintained at the pre-2001 timeframe. The special assessment. procedure was contrary to law and
constituted an unconstitutional taking of his property without just compensation.
Councilmember Bolkcom said she spoke to Mr. Ulrich during the process. She said she visited
the structure and spoke with Ms. Grover and told her a variance was needed. She believed the
City treated N1r. Ulrich and Ms. Grover fairly.
Mayor Lund indicated staff said a letter was sent with the variance application that said the
applieation �vas not complete. Mr. Ulrich thought he was in conformance with the application
once it was submitted. He asked why Mr. Ulrich did not respond to the letter.
Attorney Dietzen said the letter that was sent to Mr. Ulrich on November 14 said that because a
complete application was not received by the November 8 deadline, he had 30 days to remove
the deck. It was his interpretation that the issue of a variance was removed at that time.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the letter said anything about contacting the City.
NIr. Hickok said it did.
Mayor Lund said that Attorney Dietzen indicated they felt the process was flawed because there
was no public hearing. He asked if a public hearing was required.
Attorney Knaak said notice provided and it was incumbent upon him that if wanted a hearing to
ask for one.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 12
Councilmember Bolkcom said he would have appeared before the Appeals Commission and the
City Council for the variance request.
Attorney Knaak agreed.
Attorney Dietzen said the letter said "Because a complete application wasn't received by the
November 8, 2002, deadline, you have 30 days from the date of this letter to remove your
structure or an abatement will be undertaken to have the City remove the deck billing you for
125 percent of the cost incurred." Then it said "If you have any questions regarding the letter or
process, contact us." The letter said that the variance application was being returned and they
were now aoing through an abatement process. Mr. Ulrich hired a lawyer who attempted to
contact the City Attorney but was unable to do so.
Attorney Knaak said there were telephone calls, but it was by a different attorney.
Mayor Lund said Mr. Ulrich still had some alternatives. He asked Attorney Dietzen if he had
any further testimony he wanted entered on his client's behalf.
Attorney Dietzen said they had two witnesses who confirmed that there was a structure over the
footings in the late 1960s. In the case law cited in his letter, the City had not made a
determination, to the best of his knowledge, as to the extent of legal land conformity and whether
there was or was not one before they made the decision and removed the deck. His client had
property rights that he intended to enforce.
Councilmember Barnette said he thought the issue was should Council vote on the assessment.
Attorney Dietzen said the determination of whether or not there was a nuisance depended on
whether or not it was a legal, non-conforming use. If there was a legal, non-conforming use, the
City did not have the right to remove it.
Councilmember Barnette said he felt the issue on the legality of the deck would be argued further
in Court.
Attorney Knaak said Attorney Dietzen's statement had taken the form of testimony. He
mentioned two other witnesses and he assumed that it was an offer of proof, as well as testimony
at to what they would be offering later.
Attorney Dietzen agreed.
Attorney Knaak said it was for the record.
Mayor Lund asked if Ron Julkowski would answer a few questions.
Attorney Knaak asked Mr. Julkowski to state his name and asked him if he was the building
officiaL
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 13
Mr. Ron Julkowski stated his name and agreed that he was the building official.
Attorney Knaak asked him if he heard Mr. Hickok's earlier statement of what occurred at the
location of Mr. Ulrich's property.
Mr. Julkowski said he did.
Attorney Knaak asked him for his recollection.
Mr. Julkowski said he, Scott Hickok, and Dave Jensen went to Mr. Ulrich's residence. They had
received a telephone call from a person across the river. He gave Mr. Ulrich his business card.
They asked if they could go back and look at the structure and received NIr. Ulrich's approval.
Mr. Knaak asked if they went back and looked at the structure.
Mr. Julkowski said they did.
Mr. Knaak asked if as a building official, he had the opportunity to review the structural integrity
of the project.
Mr. Julkowski said he did but he did not go in the structure. It was a large structure and the
fastening system to the plywood and deck materials were done with deck screws. The building
code did not allow that.
Mr. Knaak asked what should have been used.
Mr. Julkowski replied nails.
Mr. Knaak asked what kind of structure it was.
Mr. Julkowski said it looked a storage room with some type of platform on top with a stairway
leading to it.
Mr. Knaak said it was something more than a platform.
Mr. Julkowski said it was more. It had windows facing the river. The stairway was non-
complying. He advised Mr. Jensen not to climb the stairway.
Mr. Knaak asked why.
Mr. Julkowski said it did not look secure.
Mr. Knaak asked him if based on his experience he had any opinion as to whether there was any
hazard involved in being on that structure or near that structure.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 14
Mr. Julkowski said there was. There was no handrail or guardrail on the top platform. The
building code required that any platform 30 inches above grade have a guardrail.
Mr. Knaak asked if they had asked for permission.
Mr. Julkowski said they did.
NIr; Knaak asked if they gave any indication that they did not need permission.
NIr. Julkowski said it was their standard procedure. W11en they received a complaint or there
was a suspicion that there was work down without a permit, they knock on the door and ask for
permission and tell them why they were there. If they were refused, they did not go any further. '
Mr. Knaak said they were allowed on.
Mr. Julkowski said that was correct.
Mayor Lund asked if it looked like a new structure.
Mr. Julkowski said it looked like a totally new deck. He said to the north, there was a pile of
deteriorated lumber. In his opinion, there was evidence of new footing columns. The concrete
looked new.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they discussed any of the issues related to the structure with
Mr. Ulrich.
Mr. Julkowski said he told him they could not issue a building permit because of City ordinance,
the bluffline and because it was in the flood plain.
Attorney Dietzen asked when they were on the property.
Mr. Julkowski said it was sometime in September.
Attorney Dietzen asked if they told Mr. Ulrich why they were there.
Mr. Julkowski said they did tell him why they were there.
Attorney Dietzen asked what they said.
Mr. Julkowski said they told him they were there to look at the structure.
Attorney Dietzen asked if they told him for what purpose they were looking at it.
Mr. Julkowski said not that he recalled.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 15
Attorney Dietzen asked if they told Mr. Ulrich that they were concerned that deck screws were
used instead of nails.
NIr. Julkowski said no.
Attorney Dietzen asked if he told Mr. Ulrich that he was concerned about the stairway not being
secured.
Mr. Julkowski said yes.
Attorney Dietzen asked if Mr. Ulrich told him that the project had not yet been completed with
respect to that issue.
Mr. Julkowski said that at that point it did not matter because they could not issue the building
permit. Pursuant to the building code, they could not let him proceed.
Mayor Lund asked if any witnesses wished to speak.
Attorney Dietzen said he did not think it was necessary. They would testify that there was a
structure in existence in the late 1960s, and the structure continued until the 2001 timeframe
when the improvements were constructed. There was no time period where the use was
discontinued for twelve months or more.
Councilmember Billings asked if the azea under the deck was enclosed.
Attorney Dietzen said it was his understanding that from 1975 until 2001 there was an azea
underneath the deck that was used as a storage and play area.
Councilmember Billings asked if that was there in 1974.
Attorney Dietzen said there was an area in that timeframe.
Councilmember Billings said when Mr. Ulrich moved into the home in 1974 there was a
platform. Sometime between 1974 and 2001 it became a deck, a storage area and a play area.
He asked if it was enclosed and if so, was it enclosed in 1974 when it was purchased.
Attorney Dietzen said in looking at his notes, it looked like there was a storage area underneath
the deck in the 1974 timeframe that was not enclosed. In 2003, there was a storage and play azea
under the deck that had a door and three windows. He was not sure.
Councilmember Billings asked if any staff or Council members know what had been underneath
the deck.
Councilmember Barnette said in 2001 there was a structure that looked like a playroom with
windows and a door.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3. 2003 PAGE 16
Attorney Dietzen said it was consistent with his notes that it was a storage and play area. His
notes indicated that in 1974 it was not an enclosed play area.
Councilmember Billings asked when the bluffline ordinance went into effect.
Attorney Dietzen said 1997.
Councilmember Billings asked if it became enclosed sometime between 1974 and 1997 or
between 1974 and 2003.
Attorney Dietzen did not know.
Councilmember Billings asked if a building permit had been taken out for the enclosure.
Attorney Dietzen said he could not answer that question. He said he knew there was no building
permit when the work was done in the 2001 and 2002 timeframe.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Julkowski when a building permit was required when a deck
was repaired.
Mr. Julkowski said the code said any repair, maintenance, or alteration. It did not give a set
dollar amount.
Councilmember Billings stated the code said that if one board needed to be replaced, in theory, a
building permit was needed.
Mr. Julkowski said technically, yes.
Councilmember Billings asked about from a practical standpoint
Mr. Julkowski said any structural members; yes, but a deck board, no.
Councilmember Billings asked if enclosing an area underneath a deck required a permit.
Mr. Julkowski said it did.
Mr. Burns said Attorney Dietzen mentioned the structure was originally built in the late 1960s.
He asked if an attempt had been made to determine if there was a building permit or if one was
required.
Mr. Hickok said they reviewed the entire file. He indicated they had the 1956 building permit
for the original structure. There was no additional building permit for this deck. There was a
building permit on file for everything but the structure.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the other building permits.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 17
Mr. Hickok said over the course of the years, there were electrical permits and plumbing permits.
��r. Burns asked if there was a response to the letter that was sent regazding the application. He
asked if they pointed out why the application was incomplete and if there were any discussions
with Mr. Ulrich.
1�1r. Hickok said the standard process was to provide the application and as much information as
possible to the applicant. On the back of the application was a matrix that showed what was
_ required for a residential application to be considered complete. In this case, there was no
reference to the bluffline on the plan that was submitted. The City's practice was when an
application was made and the application �vas incomplete, it was returned. There are certain
� deadline dates for everyone. They made it very clear to applicants that if the application was not
complete it would be returned. The letter also indicated that if the application was not complete,
the structure would need to be removed. His application was not complete. There was no
reference to a bluffline.
Mr. Burns asked if staff would have told Mr. Ulrich the application was complete when it was
accepted.
Mr. Hickok said it was a broad interpretation to believe that taking the application at the counter
meant it was okay and correct.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if it was all spelled out on the initial letter sent regarding a
variance request.
Mr. Hickok said it was.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they also had conversations with Mr. Ulrich related to the
bluffline.
Mr. Hickok said they were extremely careful to make sure that he was getting the best service
possible.
Councilmember Bolkcom said staff received a complaint from someone who lived across the
river about the deck and that was why they originally became involved.
Mr. Hickok agreed.
Mayor Lund said Mr. Howe had a problem with the assessment to his property for the removal of
dead trees.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked when the trees were cut down.
Nir. Hickok said he did not have the date.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 18
Councilmember Bolkcom said that a letter was sent to 6211 Sunrise Drive addressed to the
previous owner or resident. Mr. Howe's letter stated that he forwarded the letter to the daughter
of the previous owner. She said there was a gap between when someone sells the house and
Anoka County gets the conect form.
Mr. Hickok said there were two commentaries from the owner of the property. The first was that
he chose not to read it. The second commentary was that he passed it on to the previous
homeowner. It was standard practice to list "or current owner" on the notice. He said two
diseased trees needed to be removed.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if that was the only communication with the property owner.
Mr. Hickok said like all code enforcement processes, the letter was informational, educational,
and set a date. It also said if there were any questions to call. Mr. Howe did not respond.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if one notice was sent.
Mr. Hickok said one notice was sent, because there was an urgency since the trees were diseased.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked who decided if a tree was diseased.
Mr. Hickok said the City's forester.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how they found out about the trees.
Mr. Hickok said he did not know in this case. It was mid-summer, the leaves were gone and it
was lacking a lot of its bark.
Councilmember Wolfe said there were instances when he did not look at his mail when it was
addressed to occupant because he thought it was junk mail.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the letters said "resident" or "current resident."
Mr. Hickok said it had the name of the person listed on the tax records and "current resident."
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they checked the water bill.
Mr. Hickok said typically they did. It did not happen because the code enforcement staff person -
was on leave and other staff inember were taking care of the job.
Mayor Lund said if staff went to the address to see if the trees had been removed, they could
leave a card or notice.
Councilmember Bolkcom suggested that the process needed to be changed to make sure the
notice was sent to the cunent property owner.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 19
Mr. Hickok said that the safeguards were typically in place. He said they put "current resident"
on the envelope so people would know it was about the address.
Attorney Dietzen said that Mr. tilrich was not able to attend the meeting. He was on a business
trip to Hong Kong and was unable to change it. The record was not complete because Mr. Ulrich
was not present.
Councilmember Billings said that Mr. Ulrich was present when the hearing was initially
scheduled in October.
Attorney Dietzen said they initially tried to continue it for a later date, in part because Mr. Ulrich
" was not going to be available.
Councilmember Billings said it was originally tabled to November 7, 2003.
Attorney Dietzen said he was in court and it may have been his schedule that prevented them
from being at the last meeting.
Councilmember Billings said that Council was also faced with deadlines with the County.
Attorney Dietzen said that the City Attorney informed him of that and that was the reason the
hearing was held tonight. He was making a record that when this was continued, it was his
understanding that they would have an opportunity to respond to the City's letter that was put
into the record.
Councilmember Billings said the presentation made by Mr. Hickok was the same as the letter
that was sent by Attorney Knaak several months ago.
Attorney Dietzen said there were some new items.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if anyone knew that Mr. Ulrich was not going to be at the
meeting.
Attorney Dietzen said it was verbal between him and the City Attorney. He said they were
trying to continue it for a later date, but the City Attorney indicated that he would make every
effort to continue it. Mr. Knaak then sent a response that said it needed to be held tonight
because it was the last date they could do it.
Mr. Hickok said he was ready to make his presentation at the last Council meeting, but it was
continued at Mr. Ulrich's and his attorney's request.
Mr. Knaak said the record had been completely stated. It was unfortunate that Mr. Ulrich was
not present, but the statement that he was not at the meeting and the reason he was not at the
meeting was put in the record.

Mr. Pribyl, Finance Director, said the total assessed costs were $145,207.02 and.134 properties
were involved. They were to be assessed at $11.83 per front foot. The assessment period was 10
years, and the rate was 6.5 percent. This meeting was continued due to an error on the
publication that appeared in the Sun Focus newspaper on October 9. The corrected notice was
published on October 19. The only opposition to the assessment was from Mr.�and Mrs. Dorff at
1315 — 52"d Avenue. It was discussed at the initial public hearing, and it was established that it
was a driveway issue and not part of the project.
Councilmember Billings asked what the entire project consisted of.
Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated the entire project consisted of reconstruction of
streets. Essentially, it was the installation of concrete curb and gutter, reconstruction of the
entire street section, and restoration of all areas behind the curbs such as sod, driveways and
sidewalks. Prior to the street reconstruction, repairs are made to sewer, storm sewer or the water
system.
Councilmember Billings said that the only thing the City assessed for was curb and gutter.
Mr. Haukaas agreed.
Councilmember Billings said if there was concrete curb and gutter in front of a resident's house
when the project started, they were not assessed.
Mr. Haukaas agreed.
Councilmember Billings said the project started in 2002.
Mr. Haukaas said the initial neighborhood meeting was held in June, 2002.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 21
Councilmember Billings asked if property owners were notified in the fall of 2002 that there was
a good chance that they were going to be assessed an amount not to exceed $15 per foot for the
curb and gutter.
Mr. Haukaas said they were.
Councilmember Billings asked what the actual price of curb and gutter was.
- Mr. Haukaas said $11.83 per foot.
. Councilmember Billings said for an 80-foot frontage, a person would be paying about $900.
Mr. Haukaas agreed.
Councilmember Billings said that there was a resolution to approve the assessments. He asked
when the first installment would go on property ta�ces.
Mr. Pribyl said it would be payable in 2004. The first payment would be due on the first half of
the taxes in 2004.
Councilmember Billings asked how long a person would have to pay the assessment in full.
Mr. Pribyl said December 3, 2003, or thirty days from when the resoluiion was actually adopted.
Councilmember Billings asked if they had to prepay the whole amount.
Mr. Pribyl said the entire amount should be prepaid.
Councilmember Billings asked how much would roll to the 2004 taxes if the amount was not
prepaid.
Mr. Pribyl said there would be ten, equal, annual payments plus interest.
There was discussion about paying the assessment early and the fact that it was not tax
deductible.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if a letter would be sent out regarding the assessment.
Mr. Pribyl said a final assessment letter would be sent out.

Councilmember Bolkcom asked the City Attorney what motion would need to be made not to
assess the property located at 6211 Sunrise Drive.
Attorney Knaak said if no one moved it, it would fail for lack of a motion. Alternatively,
someone could move for it and vote to move against it.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how many votes were needed.
Attorney Knaak said four.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt the resolution for the assessment for the 2003
nuisance abatement on the property located at 6211 Sunrise Drive. Seconded by Councilmember
Barnette.
Councilmember Bolkcom said she was going to vote against the assessment because she did not
think every attempt was made to notify the owner. .
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to table the motion indefinitely. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
Councilmember Billings said that this was brought to Council's attention at the last minute. If
the hearing on the Ulrich assessment had not been scheduled, the letter from the property owner -
at 6211 Sunrise Drive would not have been timely. It would have come in after it had been voted
on. The owners did not appear at the original hearing. He said by making the motion and
tabling it, something could still be done in the future.
Mayor Lund said he felt that ultimately the trees would have had to come down. He said he felt
the homeowner should bear a significant portion of the assessment.
Councilmember Barnette asked what would happen legally.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3. 2003 PAGE 23
Mr. Pribyl said there would be another year's worth of interest added to the assessment. He said
they could bring it off the table and put it on the next assessment period.
Dr. William Burns, City ManaQer, asked if a motion to table indefinitely could be brought off the
table at some later point.
Attorney Knaak said a motion to table without a time certain was a motion to table for an
indefinite period. Because it was an indefinite period, it could be brought from the table.

Group on behalf of the Columbia Park Medical Group requested an amendment to its master
plan to allow for future parking and building eYpansion. At the October 27 Council meeting the
item was tabled to allo�v Council time to evaluate the request. Staff believed there was an
alternative that would address the majority of all concerns. Immediately adjacent to the east side
of the building, there were three parking stalls. They should be a minimum of 10 feet wide and
should be signed for patient parking only with enforcement being Columbia Park's responsibility
with violators to be towed. Immediately north of the building there was a combination of patient
drop-off and parallel parking stalls. Those stalls were a 10 foot equivalent and should be signed
for patient parking only with enforcement being Columbia Park's responsibility with violators to
be towed. Immediately west of the building there was a row of ADA-compliant handicapped
stalls and at the end of the row was another standard stall. This stall should be a minimum of 10
feet and should be signed for patient parking only with enforcement being Columbia Park's
responsibility with violators being towed. The remaining portion of the lot could be striped at a
minimum of 9-foot stall widths. Staff recommended approval of the master plan amendment.
Councilmember Billings asked how many 9 foot stalls would be lost with this method.
Mr. Hickok said with this particular design, they would gain 30 stalls and lose 2.
Councilmember Billings asked if they had spoken with the petitioner.
Mr. Hickok said they had.
Councilmember Billings asked if they received any objections.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 24
Mr. Hickok said no.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if the sidewalk between the two buildings would be pazking.
Mr. Hickok said staff felt there was still enough room to cross. There was also another sidewalk
that went to the front door.
Mayor Lund asked if enough space would remain for the crosswalk.
0
Mr. Hickok said that could be created.
Councilmember Wolfe said he received two telephone calls from individuals who said it was �
difficult to get out of a 9-foot parking stall.
Mr. Hickok said that in Stipulation No. 4 there was very specific language about the striping of a
9-foot stall. Staff thought it was a suitable plan.
Councilmember Bolkcom thought it was a good alternative.
Mr. Mark Hansen with Mohagen/Hansen Architectural Group, said they tried to work with City
staff to look at solutions. They did look at other areas. He said he felt it was a good compromise
for the project. Overall they wanted to improve the accessibility and flow around the entire site.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve Master Plan, MP #03-01.
Mr. Rich Dasek, 147 — 53`d Avenue N.E., asked if there would be more handicapped parking
stalls on the west side of the building. He said he had a handicapped accessible van he needed
for his wife, and a majority of the time he went to the clinic, there were no spots available.
Mr. Hickok said there was an ADA requirement. He said it was a better plan.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Hansen how many handicapped parking stalis were there
currently.
Mr. Hansen explained the parking areas on the site. He said it was just a preliminary plan.
Councilmember Billings asked how many stalls were there.
Mr. Hansen said 212.
0
Councilmember Billings said there were 4 handicapped stalls.
Mr. Hansen a�reed.
Councilmember Billings said there would be 6 handicapped stalls with a potential for 7 or 8 with
a total of 250.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 25
Mr. Hansen said there would be 240 to 242.
Councilmember Billings said currently there was 1 handicapped stall for every 50. Thirty more
would be added and of that amount, two would handicapped.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to approve Master Plan, MP #03-01 for the Columbia
Park Medical Group with the following four stipulations: 1. Petitioner to provide landscape plan
for the complex prior to issuance of a building permit; 2. Petitioner shall obtain all necessary
building permits prior to construction; 3. The proposed additions shall be architecturally
compatible with the eYisting building and finished with complementary building materials; and
4. Parking stalls to be reduced to a minimum of 9 feet width in all parking azeas except for those
stalls in the first row west and first row east of the building. In those aisles, ADA stall
dimensions shall apply to any handicap parking stalls. All other stalls in those two aisles shall be
a minimum of 10 feet. Parking stalls shall be striped in accordance with the design on file in the
office of the City Engineer. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.

13. INFORMAL STATUS REPORTS.
Dr. William Burns, City Manager, asked Mr. Haukaas to report on the issue raised by Mr. Dorff.
Mr. Jon Haukaas, Public Works Manager, said Mr. Dorff's son, 1315 — 52"d Avenue N.E.,
expressed some concerns over the restoration of the concrete driveway at that location. Since
that time, he examined the driveway and took pictures. He said he did not feel the problems
were defects or problems that would require the driveway to be torn up and replaced. He said
there was a difference in the look because there were two different contractors. He did not
believe this should be an issue of concern for the City.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING MINUTES OF NOVEMBER 3, 2003 PAGE 26
Councilmember Billings said it was unlikely the contractor would finish everything on the
project this year, so it would probably be carried over to the spring of 2004.
Mr. Haukaas agreed.
Councilmember Billings said between now and next spring, there was an opportunity to Council
to review this matter.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked staff to let Mr. Dorff know.
Mayor Lund mentioned that the Springbrook Nature Center was having a spaghetti dinner and
silent auction on November 15, 2003, at St. Phillip's Lutheran Church.

Subject: Brandes Place Plat
Bill:
I've reviewed the Affidavit language on the plat being submitted
by Brandes Place.
I have separately verified the necessary filing of the documents
required by Minnesota Law governing religious corporations to
. permit that kind of entity to transfer land.
�
The notarized signature of Harry Flynn on the plat as President of
the Church of St. Wlliam would appear to minimally meet the
requirement of M.S. 315.12 for the dedication noted in the plat to
occur.
It is, therefore, my opinion that, from a legal point of view, the
final plat has been appropriately executed. In light of the
settlement agreement the City is party to in this matter, it is my
opinion that the Final Plat should be approved.
