Dr. Burns, City Manager, explained staff recently sought quotes for towing services.
The quotes received from three companies were similar and competitive. Since the City
has a long history of satisfactory service from Shorty's, staff is recommending that the
City enter into a two-year contract with Shorty's that will expire December 31, 2006.

OPEN FORUM (VISITORS): Consideration of items not on agenda — 15 minutes
Mr. Pete Eisenzimmer, 6535 Oakley Drive N.E., stated he received a letter from Julie
Jones regarding the recycling issues he had questioned at previous meetings. He
received the letter Friday at 3:30 p.m. and has not had a chance to talk with her. He
said he did not feel the letter answered his questions. He also questioned the HRA
assessment per household and asked what the HRA does for the City.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 4 of 14
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, explained that Mr. Eisenzimmer had
indicated he was not interested in coming into the office to discuss this issue with staff
and, in fact, requested a letter from staff. Staff reviewed the videotape of the Council
meeting where Mr. Eisenzimmer made his request, and was not certain what Mr.
Eisenzimmer was looking for. Julie Jones sent Mr. Eisenzimmer a copy of the Power
Point presentation with the facts and figures related to the recycling contract. He
encouraged Mr. Eisenzimmer to call and talk directly to Julie Jones for the specific
information he is seeking.
Dr. Burns, City Manager, explained the HRA levy has been on the books for quite some
time and it is very common for cities to have HRA levies. The Fridley HRA supports
single family housing by providing low interest loans for people with low income who are
rehabilitating their homes.
Mayor Lund suggested Mr. Eisenzimmer attend the HRA meetings if he has questions.
Mr. Eisenzimmer stated all he wants to know is how much it costs to run the garbage
truck one time a week.
Mr. Hickok stated it would be very helpful for Mr. Eisenzimmer and for staff if he would
come into City Hall to discuss his concerns, or at least contact the appropriate staff
people via telephone.
Ms. Karen Allard, 516 — 54t" Avenue N.E., expressed concern about the statements
being made by Springbrook Nature Center supporters. She wanted clarification from
Council as to what will happen should the referendum for funding fail. She also
questioned the claim regarding the number of visitors and the reduction in visitors since
a fee has been charged. There has also been a statement made that the City Council
could choose to fund Springbrook even if the referendum fails. This is particularly
disturbing because so many City employees lost their jobs due to budget cuts. She also
stated that Springbrook has never offered to cut back to one full-time employee.
Mayor Lund said the question on the ballot is will the voters support additional taxes to
fund the interpretive center, the paid staff and the educational programs. The 128 acres
will remain as park use regardless of the outcome of the referendum.
Councilmember Bolkcom commented that the Nature Center also suffered staff
reductions as a result of budget cuts.
Mayor Lund commented that the new fees have not been successful at the Nature
Center.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
6. Consideration of Neighborhood Street Improvement Project No. ST. 2005-1.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 5 of 14
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom, seconded by Councilmember Barnette, to open
the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 8:05 PM.
Mr. Otteson, Assistant Public Works Director, stated this project is part of the annual
street reconstruction program. It will be an increase in cost and size compared to
previous projects as it will be approximately 3 times the previous project size. They will
be focusing on those streets that do not have curb and gutter. City streets are reviewed
based on certain criteria and then grouped into project areas according to condition
rating. City street standards are concrete curb and gutter, standard driving width of 30
feet curb face to curb face, street rating of 9 tons (axle weight), and drainage off the
street (2% grade to curb line).
Mr. Otteson explained that the work description for this project is:
• Replace existing streets with new aggregate base and pavement surface.
• Replace existing bituminous curb with new concrete curb and gutter.
• Upgrade and repair miscellaneous utilities such as hydrants, sections of water main,
sections of sanitary sewer main, storm sewer inlets, and piping.
• Restore boulevards with sod and minor landscaping.
• Replace private water and sewer services.
• Replace private driveways.
Mr. Otteson said the project schedule was as follows:
• February, 2005:
• April, 2005:
• October, 2005:
• October, 2005:
• January, 2006:
Open bids
Begin construction
Complete construction
Public hearing to set assessment
Property taxes. Assessments start.
Mr. Otteson said the construction issues include:
• Project communication with residents
• Mail boxes (under the direction of the local postmaster)
• Landscape, sprinklers, driveway restoration
• Water and sewer service repairs
• Daily access issues
• Special needs or access for residents
• Warranty (work done by the contractor)
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 6 of 14
Mr. Otteson also reviewed the residential assessment policy as follows:
• Calculations are based on the length of the adjusted front footage. Adjusted front
footage is measured across the property at a distance of 35 feet from the front
property line (on the address side).
• All work associated with the installation of concrete curb is assessed. If concrete
curb is already existing on the address side of the property, there will be no
assessment to the property. The assessment cost will be no more than $17.50 per
foot for the concrete curb work.
There are three options for repayment of the assessment, Mr. Otteson explained. They
include:
• Lump sum paid within 30 days of the assessment hearing (after construction).
• Added to property taxes that are paid over 10 years with an interest rate of
approximately 7.0%.
• Senior citizens meeting certain criteria (65, income level, etc.) may request to have
the assessment deferred until future sale of the property. Interest accrues until the
sale. (Per City Res. No. 14-1995.)
Mr. Otteson also reviewed the engineer's opinion of probable cost as follows:
• Streets
• Sanitary sewer
• Storm sewer
• Watermain
Grand Total
$2, 261, 000
$71, 000
$165, 800
$108, 900
$2,606,700
The funding source breakdown for this project is as follows:
• Minnesota State Aid
• Special Assessments
• Sanitary Fund
• Storm Water Fund
• Street Fund
• Water Fund
Grand Total
$325, 000
$497, 300
$71, 000
$165, 800
$1, 438, 700
$108, 900
$2,606,700
Mr. Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated there is a general residential assessment
policy. There are, however, four corner lots along East River Road that at the time of
the East River Road improvements were not assessed. Although they are East River
Road residents, they will be assessed with this project. There is also a commercial
property in this project area. The assessment calculation method for commercial
property is different. They are charged for the entire cost of the reconstruction project at
$55.00 per foot. The owner of that business is aware of this situation.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 7 of 14
Councilmember Bolkcom asked for the addresses of the corner lots and whether those
property owners are aware of this.
Mr. Haukaas explained that none of those four property owners are aware but they will
be informed via individual letters.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she received an email from Michael Coyan, 260 - 67tn
Avenue, objecting to the project because he did not think the street needed it.
Mr. Haukaas explained that staff has a pavement rating system that is done on a
biannual basis. Seven different rating criteria are used, based on condition, number of
cracks, weathering, rutting and different pavement stresses. Based on that criteria, they
came up with a pavement rating for every street in the City. By doing this, they can also
track how the streets degrade over time. Staff then makes a map of the City with a
rating designation for each street. They hope to have all City streets up to standards
within the next four to five years.
Councilmember Bolkcom commented that if a resident wants to have their whole
driveway done as a part of this project, the resident has to pay for those improvements.
Mr. Haukaas explained the City will pay for that portion of the driveways that was
disturbed as a result of the road construction. They are asking the contractor to submit
bids for those residents who wish to have their entire driveway done. The residents
would have to pay for that.
Councilmember Wolfe commented that if a resident chooses to have their driveway
redone, they would be working with the contractor, not the City.
Mr. Haukaas stated City staff will help coordinate the driveway installation and will help
if there are problems in the future.
Councilmember Barnette said it was his understanding that the homeowner will only be
assessed for the curb and gutter portion of this street improvement project. He
questioned how the City can do that and how it compares with neighboring cities.
Mr. Otteson explained that the homeowners will be assessed for work associated with
the curb; that would be the curb, the removal of the existing curb, four feet of excavation
and some restoration. All the neighboring cities charge 100% assessment for street
projects. The balance of the construction after the resident's contribution comes from
the street fund.
Mr. Rod Trocke, 280 Rice Creek Terrace, asked if the road improvement project will
address the drainage problems currently experienced at the storm sewer near his
property.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 8 of 14
Mr. Haukaas stated they will not be changing the street grades, but they are looking at
storm sewer extensions and additional catch basins to help reduce the drainage
problems. The concrete curb and gutter will provide much better control taking the
water to the storm sewers.
Mr. Trocke asked if he should tear out his sprinkler system.
Mr. Otteson replied the sprinkler system will be pulled out along the construction area,
set back, and then reinstalled by the contractor. He also stated staff wants to know of
any unique situations homeowners may have. They will work with residents to address
those concerns.
Mr. Trocke asked about a tree on the property adjacent to him.
Mr. Otteson stated during the construction phase, they try to minimize impact on trees
by staying away from the tree where possible.
Ms. Ethel Dzubay, 220 Rice Creek Terrace, asked what portion of the project will be the
homeowner's responsibility and what will be the City's. She also requested that there
be a clear timeline for the various stages of the project so residents can be prepared. In
addition, she stated she would have appreciated a more advance notice of this project
as she recently invested in a new driveway.
Mr. Otteson stated plants, shrubs and flowers are the resident's responsibility if they are
within five feet of the curb line. A newsletter will be going out as soon as the bid has
been awarded. This newsletter will let the residents know what the schedule is. They
will only go into certain neighborhoods at a time. During construction, the residents will
be responsible for keeping the plants alive. Afterwards, the contractor will come back
through and replace landscaping rock and edging. He believes the project will start in
May with the utilities starting a little earlier. The asphalt will stay in place while the utility
work is done. The residents can expect to have gravel in front of their home for a 6 to 8
week period and access will be provided during that time. Throughout the project,
updates will go out to the residents if changes occur. Construction driveway work will
be done with white concrete. For those residents who have unique driveways, the City
will match the material or work with the resident's contractor and pay what the City
would have paid for a typical restoration. The information about this project went out to
residents as soon as the project plans were finalized.
Mr. Pete Eisenzimmer, 6535 Oakley Drive, asked if the $17.50 per linear foot
assessment includes the cost for the blacktop. He also asked what the interest rate is
for the deferred assessments.
Councilmember Bolkcom explained the residents will not be assessed for anything but
the concrete curb and gutter.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 9 of 14
Mr. Haukaas stated the percentage on the deferred assessment will be the same as the
general percentage, probably around 7%.
Mr. Jim Holtzlider, 351 Bellaire Way NE, stated he owns a corner lot and asked which
lot width he would be assessed for. He also suggested that staff take a look at the
flooding problems in the park near his home as a part of this project.
Mr. Haukaas stated the staff ineasured the lot width on the address side which is the
narrower dimension. That is the side on which the assessment will be determined.
Jon McGinn, 7600 East River Road, asked about a tree on his property that is about 2
feet off the street. He asked if he will be responsible for removing the tree or if the City
will handle it.
Mr. Haukaas stated the City avoids removing healthy trees as much as possible. There
is always a possibility, however, that the work will impact the tree's roots and if it
impacts the root structure to the point where the tree will die, the City will remove it.
Ms. Mary Addison, 150 Rickard Road N.E., stated she has a concrete curb by her
driveway and asked if it will be replaced. She also asked if the $17.50 per linear foot
would include the area of a power line easement on her property. Another concern is a
second lot she owns which also has a driveway.
Mr. Haukaas stated the City will replace and match the curb. He also explained that the
power line easement would be included in the width of Ms. Addison's property and,
therefore, would be assessed. As far as the second driveway, he recommended Ms.
Addison keep in contact with City staff to ensure the curb cut is maintained.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom, seconded by Councilmember Barnette, to close
the public hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:52 PM.
7. Special Use Permit Review SP#03-07, by Frattalone Companies for the
Purpose of a Rock Crushing Operation on the North Side of the Property,
Generally Located at 8170 Hickory Street NE (Ward 3).
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated in May, 2003, a special use
permit was granted to allow outdoor rock crushing on this property. In May or June of
this year, Council discussed the annual review required as a part of that special use
permit and talked to the petitioner. The petitioner has now reevaluated the success of
this site and determined that it is important for them to evaluate whether or not this site
will be viable as a rock crushing site. In order to be a viable location, 100,000 tons of
concrete and asphalt materials would be needed per year in addition to the processing
of black dirt daily. To this point in time, the petitioner has only stockpiled 20,000 tons of
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 10 of 14
material for the crushing operation. Mr. Frattalone has indicated he would like to give
this site an additional year to see if they can reach the goal of 100,000 tons. In the
event they cannot reach this goal, they would close this as a recycling facility.
Mr. Hickok explained that Mr. Frattalone is requesting that some of the stipulations that
were a part of the approval of this project be delayed until such time as they determine
whether this is a feasible site. In exchange for not doing those improvements at this
time, Mr. Frattalone has offered to put into escrow $18,125 or provide a letter of credit to
ensure those improvements will take place once this site is deemed a viable operation.
As a temporary measure, the water will be metered and drawn from a fire hydrant.
Mr. Hickok stated this special use permit was very controversial. If the rock crushing
operation fails at this location, the rock crushing use can go away thus providing
development opportunity. If the additional investment is made and the improvements in
the stipulations are made, the trial period for using this site would likely be extended to
make use of those investments.
Mr. Hickok said a screened fence and landscaping has been installed on this site. In
Stipulations 8 and 10, curb and asphalt and a permanently installed water meter would
be required. This is what they are requesting relief from. Staff believes this is a
reasonable risk because petitioner has offered to provide a letter of credit or escrow the
cash. Staff is recommending approval of a one-year extension to further evaluate the
site and at that time they will either need to remove this use from the site or make the
improvements.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked at what point the improvements would be required.
She also asked about the petitioner's request for a variance on the height of the
stockpiles.
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner is asking for one year to determine if this site will attract
the kind of customer base they were hoping for. If it is not going to work, the petitioner
would prefer not to make the improvements and move elsewhere. However, if staff
feels the improvements are necessary and the petitioner decides to stay at that location,
they have assured staff that the improvements will be made.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she does not think they should make the improvements
either, if the site is not viable. She asked at what point Stipulations 8 and 10 would
have to be followed.
Mr. Hickok said Petitioner has requested a year. At that point, if they determine the site
is not viable, they will be moving on. He stated petitioner may not even wait the full
year. If they find it is going to be a viable site, they will start making the improvements
required in Stipulations 8 and 10.
Councilmember Bolkcom said petitioner could get a lot more material and run the rock
crushing operation without any improvements having been made. She asked if they
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 11 of 14
suddenly start crushing, did they have to make the improvements or could they wait
until the year was up.
Mr. Hickok replied that when the site gets to a certain point, they are going to have to
crush to make room for more material. That one-time deal is not enough to have them
decide that the site is viable.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked why staff's position is different than it was when the
special use permit was originally before the Council. She also questioned what
prevented the petitioner from coming back again next year and requesting the same
thing.
Mr. Hikcok stated that if they are only going to be on the site for a year, it is not worth
investing $18,000 worth of curb and asphalt only to be torn out. The petitioner is not
here to push and do this without the standards.
Petitioner, Frank Frattalone, stated they currently have 30 tons of material on the site. If
business does not pick up on this site, they will be moving it elsewhere which would
mean the investments required in Stipulations 8 and 10 would have been a waste.
They are looking for a little reprieve so they do not have to waste that money. That
money will be put in escrow or a letter of credit will be prepared to assure Council that
they will not be asking for another reprieve.
Mr. Frattalone explained that the 15-foot limitation on the height of the stockpile is very
limited.
Councilmember Billings stated if the petitioner currently has 15-foot stockpiles and there
is enough material to begin crushing, it appears the variance to increase the height of
the stockpile is just to get a little more out of the mobilization. He stated he understands
the economics of this, but also one of the reasons for the 15 feet was because of site
lines. He was not anxious to allow the 20-foot height unless there was a reason other
than economics.
Mr. Frattalone said to his knowledge there have been no complaints about the property.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the height limitation on the stockpiles was one of
the stipulations that was part of the approval. She said it makes sense to give petitioner
a little leeway on Stipulations 8 and 10 but, in all fairness, not on the stockpile height.
Councilmember Billings asked if there was anything that would trigger doing the
improvements before the year is up.
Mr. Frattalone explained he did not anticipate not getting enough business at this site.
He could put in the improvements earlier than September if there is a significant
increase in tonnage. He will definitely know by September whether or not he will
continue the rock crushing operation on this site.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 12 of 14
Councilmember Billings asked if this special use permit is set to be reviewed every year.
Mr. Hickok stated because they had not started crushing and there was very little
activity it was extended. This has served as a review of what they have been doing and
it would be appropriate to review the special use permit at this time next year.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked the City Attorney if there is enough in the records to
validate taking this type of action on a special use permit without setting a precedent.
Mr. Knaak, City Attorney, stated it appears that the circumstances are sufficiently
unique so that Council can justify a waiver for a period of one year.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom, seconded by Councilmember Billings, to concur
with City staff on Special Use Permit Review, SP #03-07, that Stipulations 8 and 10 be
waived until the review of the Special Use Permit at the first Council meeting in
September, 2005.
Mayor Lund asked the City Attorney if this motion fulfills the requirements on this matter.
Mr. Knaak said it does.
Councilmember Billings asked the petitioner if they understood and accepted the
motion.
Mr. Frattalone responded affirmatively.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA:
2. Resolution No. 2004-54 Extending the Term of the Southern Anoka County
Community Consortium Joint Powers Agreement.
Councilmember Billings stated the reason he pulled this item is because at this time last
year, staff recommended that the Council not fund this for 2004 because of financial
concerns.
Councilmember Barnette stated as chairman of the Values First Committee, budget cuts
were made. To the best of his knowledge, Columbia Heights, Hilltop and the school
districts have agreed to continue their participation for another two years. He stated he
believes these are dollars well spent and he is in favor of continuing this.
Councilmember Billings asked if there are funds set aside for this in the 2005 budget.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING, SEPTEMBER 27, 2004 Paqe 13 of 14
Dr. Burns, City Manager, responded that he believes there are. When the 2004 budget
was being prepared, they were facing the loss of $1.75 million LGA funds and did not
see a way to recover a substantial portion of that loss. It has been made clear with the
past legislative session that we probably will have a little bit more latitude to recover
some of that money which makes it easier to fund the Southern Anoka County
Community Consortium.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if contributions to other community organizations are in
next year's budget.
Dr. Burns responded that they are not.
Councilmember Billings reviewed the funding for SACCC as follows:
Anoka County
City of Hilltop
School District 14
School District 13
City of Fridley
City of Columbia Heights
$7, 500
$304
$4, 262
$4, 262
$5, 782
$5, 782
Councilmember Billings asked if Fridley's contribution is the same as last year.
Councilmember Barnette said it is.
MOTION by Councilmember Barnette, seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom, to adopt
Resolution No. 2004-54.

8. Informal Status Reports:
Mayor Lund stated two debates were scheduled. The first debate was Wednesday at
7:00 p.m. at the Fridley Community Center, and would be hosted by the Fridley
Concerned Citizens Group. A second debate is scheduled for October 12 at the same
time and location hosted by the League of Women Voters.
Councilmember Bolkcom thanked those who attended the second housing forum.
Dr. Burns, City Manager, stated the October newsletter will be going out by October 10.
