NEW BUSINESS:
2. Resolution Restricting Parking and Authorizing the Posting of "No
Parking" Signs on 73�d Avenue (MSAS 307) between Able Street and
Central Avenue (CSAH 35).
Dr. Burns, City Manager, stated that although the City has always considered 73�d
Avenue to be designated for no parking, staff cannot find a Council resolution to this
effect for the Able Street to Central Avenue segment of 73�d Avenue. In order to meet
the requirements of MnDOT for use of MSAS money, we are requesting that Council
officially authorize the restriction of parking on both sides of 73�d Avenue between Able
Street and Central Avenue. Staff recommends approval of the resolution.
ADOPTED RESOLUTION NO. 2005-17

5. Approve Lease Agreement between the City of Fridley and T-Mobile for the
Installation of Cellular Antennas on the Commons Park Water Tower.
Dr. Burns, City Manager, explained that this agreement provides for a monthly payment
of $1,650 for nine antennas assembled in clusters of three. It also allows for an access
easement as well as for a 15' x 25' ground equipment platform outside the City's fencing
near the southwest parking lot. In the event more than nine antennas are required, the
agreement provides for an additional $100 per month for each additional antenna. The
term of the agreement is five years with an option to extend the term for four additional
five-year periods. The lease payment will be modified each year by the rate of inflation
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 28 2005 PAGE 3

Staff recommends Council's approval.
THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON

NEW BUSINESS:
12. Resolution Supporting an Anoka County Tax Abatement Request by
Glimcher Northtown Venture.
Mayor Lund explained this was brought to his attention by Anoka County Commissioner
Langfeld and has been placed on the agenda for Council to determine whether or not it
is appropriate to support Anoka County in this tax abatement proposal for Northtown.
Northtown has lost its major tenants. The anchor stores bring in most of the traffic to
keep the mall vital. Even though this will not directly affect Fridley, the County
Commissioners are asking surrounding communities to support this proposal. This
abatement would affect the county tax only and would not affect the school district or
the City of Blaine's taxes.
Councilmember Barnette asked if the County Commissioners unanimously support this
proposal.
Mayor Lund stated he heard from only one other Commissioner, but the business policy
was adopted unanimously.
Councilmember Billings said this would be acted on at the April 12 County
Commissioner's meeting
Councilmember Barnette asked if there was a down-side to supporting this proposal.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 28. 2005 PAGE 5
Councilmember Billings stated based on his conversation with a couple of the Anoka
County Commissioners, they have reservations about whether the tax abatement will
actually be effective. He then referred to finro additional items he would like to see in the
resolution. The first would be an additional "whereas" stating that the proposal provide
for some benchmarks that should be met. The other issue is that rather than urge the
County Board to grant the economic development tax abatement, Council encourage
them to take action to retain the economic viability of the Northtown area. By revising
the resolution, the Council shows that they are not opposed to taking action to protect
the economic integrity of Northtown. They are also sending a message that Council is
not trying to dictate to the County Commissioners how they should be running the
County.
Councilmember Barnette commented he was concerned that approving the resolution
as presented may be viewed as an attempt to influence votes.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she would feel more comfortable if there were a County
Commissioner present to discuss this matter
Dr. Burns stated Commissioner Langfeld was unable to attend the meeting.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that this abatement amounts to $300,000 and she
would assume those funds would have to be made up in some way elsewhere in the
budget.
Mayor Lund stated he assumes the Commissioners are seeking this abatement to keep
Northtown from closing which would result in a loss of tax dollars. He does not have
any problem supporting this resolution because Northtown is a regional mall and its
closing would impact Fridley.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings, seconded by Councilmember Barnette, to adopt
the resolution.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings, seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom, to amend
the resolution as follows:
Adding a"whereas" after the last "whereas" that reads "Whereas, Anoka
County's abatement plan calls for significant and stringent benchmarks."
2. Adding to the "now therefore" clause after the word "hereby" the following:
"urge the Anoka County Board of Commissioners to take appropriate
action to preserve the economic viability of the Northtown area."
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the last part of the sentence of the "now therefore"
clause should be stricken.
Councilmember Billings agreed.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 28. 2005 PAGE 6
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she can support the amended resolution.
Councilmember Wolfe agreed.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if any other City has passed this resolution.
Mayor Lund said he did not know.
Councilmember Billings explained that the cities of Blaine, Spring Lake Park, Coon
Rapids and Fridley were given the resolution.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION
TO APPROVE THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION
TO ADOPT RESOLUTION NO. 2005-18 AS AMENDED CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Billings requested that the staff indicate in the transmittal letter to the
County Board of Commissioners that the City Council is confident the County Board of
Commissioners, having all the facts in front of them, will make the decision that is in the
best interests of the citizens of Anoka County. Not having all the facts was the primary
reason why the City Council amended the resolution.
13. Preliminary Plat Request, PS #05-01, by Roslyn Park Wesleyan Church to
Subdivide the Property to Allow the Creation of Two Single Family Lots and
a Separate Lot for the Church Property, Generally Located at 5300 Sixth
Street NE (Ward 1).
14. Variance Request, VAR #05-04, by Roslyn Park Wesleyan Church to
Reduce the Rear Yard Setback from 25 Feet to 9.81 Feet in Order to
Recognize an Existing Non-conformity of the Church Building, Generally
Located at 5300 Sixth Street NE (Ward 1).
15. Special Use Permit Request, SP #05-01, by Roslyn Park Wesleyan Church,
to Allow the Continuation of a Church Use in an R-3, General Multiple Unit
Zoning District, Generally Located at 5300 Sixth Street NE (Ward 1).
Ms. Jones, City Planner, said the petitioner, Pastor Dale Christiansen, is requesting a
replat of the church property. Replatting the property will allow the church to separate
and create two single family lots which will be located at 401 - 53`d Avenue and 5315
Fifth Street and create a new lot for the church property. The new lot created for the
church property will include 5300 Sixth Street and the vacant lot north of 5315 Fifth
Street which will continue to allow access to the alley and could be used for additional
parking. This request is a result of the petitioner's plans to relocate their congregation
to Spring Lake Park. Roslyn Park Church has found another congregation to purchase
the church building and vacant lot north of 5315 Fifth Street. The new congregation is
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 28. 2005 PAGE 7
not interested in purchasing the other two lots in that area occupied with single family
homes. As a result, the petitioner would like to divide off the parsonage house at 401
f 53�d Avenue and the other house the church owns at 5315 Fifth Street to be sold
separately as single family lots.
Ms. Jones said Fridley City Code requires that lots in the R-3 district be a minimum of
10,000 square feet for three family dwelling and have a minimum lot width of 75 feet.
The approximate size of the entire land being requested to be replatted is 59,443
square feet or 1.36 acres. After the replat, the church property (proposed Lot 1) will be
37,146 square feet (.85 acres) and will include the parcel with the church building as
well as the vacant lot located north of 5315 Fifth Street. Proposed Lot #2, located at
401 53�d Avenue, will be 12,046 square feet and will accommodate the existing
parsonage house and a garage. Proposed Lot #3 at 5315 Fifth Street will be 10,251
square feet after the replat and will contain the existing single family house, existing
garage, and will allow for the construction of a new garage to be accessed off of Fifth
Street.
Ms. Jones said the Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 2, 2005, for
Preliminary Plat Request, PS #05-01. After a brief discussion, the Planning
Commission recommended approval of PS #05-01 with the stipulations as presented.
� The motion carried unanimously.
Ms. Jones said staff recommends approval of Preliminary Plat Request, PS #05-01,
with the following stipulations:
1. Petitioner to provide drainage and utility easements as shown on the
preliminary plat drawing.
2. Petitioner shall provide any easements required by Kaneb Pipeline prior to
final plat approval.
3. The property owner of 5300 Sixth Street shall continue to provide reasonable
seasonal maintenance as necessary to assure access to and from the non-
vacated portion of the alley.
4. The alley shall be sufficiently labeled to prevent the entrance from being
blocked.
5. The existing garage at 5315 Fifth Street shall be made accessible by
construction of an approved surface driveway and the filing of an easement
for access from Lot 1, or a new driveway and garage (with direct access from
Fifth Street) shall be constructed within one year of final plat approval.
6. Proof of parking on vacant lot north of 5315 Fifth Street shall be required to
be installed if there is an expansion to the church or the City deems that it is
' necessary.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 28 2005 PAGE 8
Ms. Jones further explained the petitioner is also requesting a special use permit to
allow the continuation of a church on the property located at 5300 Sixth Street.
Churches are a permitted special use in the R-3 zoning district provided they meet the
necessary requirements related to building and site requirements and parking. All of
these requirements are being met with the exception of the rear yard setback and the
parking stall requirement.
Ms. Jones also stated that Roslyn Park Church is requesting a variance for the location
of the existing church building in relation to the rear yard setback. City Code requires a
rear yard setback of 25 feet and the existing church is 9.81 feet from the rear lot line.
When the church was constructed in 1956, it was deficient in meeting the rear yard
setback requirement. Consequently, the church is asking for a variance to recognize
this non-conformity. The Appeals Commission reviewed this variance request at their
March 9, 2005 meeting and, after a brief discussion, recommended approval of the
variance. Staff recommends approval of the variance request.
Ms. Jones said the Roslyn Park Church property currently requires 43 parking stalls.
This number is based on the amount of pews located within the assembly hall of the
church. The property is currently deficient in meeting this requirement by 22 parking
stalls. The church that is purchasing the property is substantially smaller than the
existing congregation and the new church is including the vacant lot north of 5315 Fifth
Street as part of their properly in the event they need additional parking. City staff
would recommend that the deficient 22 parking stalls be a proof of parking on the
vacant lot until the church is in need of the additional parking stalls.
Ms. Jones further stated that City staff has been in contact with Kaneb Pipeline
regarding the gas pipeline that runs along the southern border of the subject properties.
The petitioner's surveyor has conveyed to staff that a blanket easement currently exists
over the entire lot for the pipeline. Due to this replat, Kaneb and the City would like to
have this easement defined which will be a requirement prior to final plat approval.
Currently, both the petitioner's surveyor and Kaneb Pipeline are working on defining that
easement.
Ms. Jones stated City staff recommends approval of the variance request and special
use permit request with stipulations.
Councilmember Barnette asked if an alley runs off of 53�d
Mr. Haukaas said that portion of the alley was vacated and removed.
Councilmember Barnette asked if the portion of the alley that was not vacated is
scheduled for blacktopping.
Mr. Haukaas responded that portion of the alley is north of the property involved in this
proposal so they have not had any discussions regarding the alley.
0
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 28. 2005 PAGE 9
Councilmember Bolkcom questioned what is meant by the stipulation that refers to
reasonable seasonal maintenance.
Mr. Hickok responded that stipulation is a carry-over from a prior approval to vacate the
alley. The church does maintain the access to the alley by plowing it in the winter and
keeping it clear. This stipulation has been discussed with the new buyer. He further
explained this stipulation was left purposely broad to ensure anything that comes up is
handled. The example of snow removal and sand/silt sweeping was used to illustrate
why simply saying snow removal would not be adequate. He added that City staff is
comfortable with the language. The current owner has done a good job of maintaining
the property and the future buyer is aware of this stipulation.
Councilmember Bolkcom expressed concern about the deficient parking situation on
this property. She questioned what would make the parishioners park in the vacant lot
rather than on the street.
Mr. Hickok stated the advantage of the proof of parking requirement is that the
installation of those parking spaces is at the City's discretion. They are required to have
adequate parking to be self-sustaining on that site. If at any point the City determines
that is not happening and they are parking on the street, the City can insist on
installation. In addition, the proof of parking prevents asphalt being put down that is not
going to be used. The new church moving onto this site has indicated they would be
happy if they filled the 22 parking spaces already there.
Pastor Dale Christianson
recently moved to Spring
win-win situation.
stated his church has been on this site for 50 years and just
Lake Park. He believes approval of the requests would be a
Pastor Jim Brown, representing the buyers of the property, requested a copy of the
staff's presentation and the stipulations.

stipulations recommended by staff.

4. Receive Bids and Award Contract for the 2005 Miscellaneous Concrete
Repair Project No. 359.
Councilmember Billings stated staff recommends BCG Construction, Inc., for this bid.
He asked who the previous contractor was for this work.
Mr. Haukaas explained Ron Kassa Construction has had the concrete and curb repair
project for several years, including last year.
Councilmember Billings stated if he remembers correctly, Ron Kassa Construction had
to do some clean-up after a different contractor had been awarded the curb contract
one year.
Mr. Haukaas stated that is correct.
Councilmember Billings questioned what staff knows about BCG Construction.
Mr. Haukaas stated that staff investigated BCG Construction since they were the low
bidder. They checked references from other municipalities and private firms that had
used BCG. They received decent recommendations, so staff saw no reason not to
grant this contract to them as the low bidder.
Councilmember Billings asked if BCG understands that this project will not be
completed in one shot but that call-backs will be required.
Mr. Haukaas stated staff has discussed this with BCG and, in fact, the contract is similar
to a contract they have with St. Louis Park.
Councilmember Billings commented that there is only $8,000 difference between BCG's
bid and Ron Kassa Construction's bid and he would have no problem awarding the
contract to the higher bidder since Ron Kassa Construction has a history with the City of
Fridley. He wanted to make sure that staff is comfortable with BCG.
Mr. Haukaas stated the award of this bid was delayed so staff could take the time they
needed to talk with BCG and check their references.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings, seconded by Councilmember Wolfe, to receive the -
bids and award the contract in the amount of $67,616 to BCG Construction for the 2005
Miscellaneous Concrete Repair Project No. 359. _

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION
CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
5. Approve Lease Agreement between the City of Fridley and T-Mobile for the
Installation of Cellular Antennas on the Commons Park Water Tower.
Councilmember Wolfe stated when this was discussed some time ago, he thought any
towers going onto this property would be on the north end of Commons Park.
Mr. Haukaas stated this matter was brought to the Parks and Recreation Commission
for their recommendation. Since this was originally initiated, they have worked through
some issues and came to an agreement with T-Mobile. He said originally, he was not in
favor of putting antennas on the water tower because they did not have full answers to
questions regarding the Homeland Security Act and its impact on water facilities. In the
meantime, they found out that there are precautions that can be taken and still be in
compliance. The Parks and Recreation Commission's first recommendation was to put
them on the water tower because that brought it away from the neighborhood, reduced
complaints, and camouflaged it as much as possible. T-Mobile was also willing to pay a
premium to locate their antennas on the water tower. Through that process and the
lease negotiations, they came up with placing the antennas on the tower and requiring
them to be placed on the catwalk rather than on the tank itself so there will not be any
reduction in the integrity of the tank. Also the cables will run on the catwalk, down one
of the legs and then outside the fenced area to an area just north of the parking lot
outside the City's fence. The City's Recreation Department, Parks Maintenance and
Water Department were all in agreement that this would be a viable site for T-Mobile's
platform.
Councilmember Bolkcom questioned what precautions will be taken and if a City
employee will accompany T-Mobile employees when they work on this site.
Mr. Haukaas stated the ground equipment is what T-Mobile will have to access 99% of
the time and that will be located outside the City's fence. It has been written into the
lease with T-Mobile that staff can require background checks of any employee that
enters City property. It has also been written into the lease that any time they have to
enter the fenced area, they have to provide notice and be accompanied by a City
employee. If there is an emergency, City staff would probably be on site to protect the
City's interest anyway. If issues arise that are of concern to City staff, that could result
in cancellation of the lease.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if T-Mobile's platform will be screened.
Mr. Haukaas stated they are required to have fencing around the platForm and the City
could ask that they provide slats in the fencing. The plafiForm is essentially at ground
level and no additional landscaping has been required. Also, having it open makes it
safer.

AGENDA ITEM
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 11, 2005
April 7, 2005
William W. Burns, City Manager
Scott J. Nickok, Community Development Director
SUBJECT: Settlement Agreement for Demello Case
Introduction
In January Council reviewed the substantial redesign of an age-restricted senior
development proposed by John Demello, ProfitMax, Inc. The redesign sought to
address the comments made by neighbors in the area and concerns expressed by the
City Council. Subsequent to that meeting, the developer's attorney worked with John
Baker, our attorney on this matter. The result of their work is a settlement agreement
that is attached for Council's review and approval.
Elements
Prior to the informal January review by the City Council, John Demello's attorney filed a
petition in Federal Court for a summary judgment ruling regarding his failed land use
requests in Fridley. Magistrate Judge Raymond Erickson was assigned to the case. An
agreement at this point gives assurance and direction to both parties as to the
disposition of those proceedings, once the new development has again been acted
upon by Council.
The agreement states that IF:
A. The plaintiffs submit to the City new applications for a rezoning and
preliminary plat approval that are the same or substantially identical to the
design depicted in drawings of the redesign provided to the City on or about
January 21, 2005, and the textual information submitted to the City in January
2005; and
B. If the City Council approves those applications upon the completion of the
procedures required by state law and local ordinance for such approval;
Then:
Within 30-days of the final City approvals of such applications, the parties through their
counsel, will execute a stipulation for dismissal of the Pending Federal Action, and will
execute mutual releases intended to release the parties and their agents and officials
from all claims known or unknown arising from the subject matter of the Pending
Federal Action.
Parties will jointly request that Judge Erickson modify the pretrial scheduling order in the
Pending Federal Action and postpone or cancel the hearing presently scheduled for
April 14, 2005; and
If the condition to dismissal and release set forth above in Section I(A) does not occur
by April 1, 2005 (or by some later date agreed to by the parties), or if the condition of
dismissal and release does not occur within 60 days of the plaintiff's submission of the
complete set of applications within the meaning of Minn. Stat. 15.99, or by June 14,
2005 (or some later date agreed upon by the parties), then active litigation between the
parties shall resume, and one or both of the parties may then schedule with the court a
hearing on cross-motions for summary judgment on the first mutually available date
more than 55 days after the date on which active litigation resumes.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council approve and authorize signature of the agreement.

Enclosed please find a copy of the data schedule and other calculations for the proposed site plan that I
provided you in my letter of January 10, 2005. The calculations were prepared by the architect for Mr.
DeMello, Peter L. Villard. You can see from his calculations they appear to rrieet the current and
proposed zoning. �
Also enclosed please find a Boundary and Topographical Survey regarding the above-referenced
matter. Please note that I have highlighted in yellow the property my client will be using for the
development. As you can see, he will not be usina the most southerly lots in his new proposal.
I look forward to hearing from you regarding possible resolution of this _matter. P.lease let me kr.ow if
there is anything further I can provide? �
Very truly yours,
& KR,p�MER P.A.

Thank you for speakinb with Cheryl Stanton and me last Friday regarding possible settlement
discussions en this case. Enclosed herewith please find a site plan drafted quite some time ago
re�arding the property. When the site plan was originally proposed, the buildin� was four stories. My
client proposes to reduce the building to three stories. It will then contain seventy residential units and
somewhat less retail space than was recentIy proposed. I believe the square footage of the retail space
will be approximately 11,000 square feet. Mr. Villard, Mr. DeMello's architect will be providing to me
today new computations regarding density, parking, etc. Mr. Villard also indicated to me that the site
plan �vill need some slight revisions, including making sure the set back is fifty feet and changing the
locations of the driveways. It is my understanding that with less retail space and less density, there wi11
be less parking and therefore this will alleviate the snow removal issue.
The main difference between the plan that is being proposed now and the plan that was proposed quite
some time ago is the fourth story will no longer be on the building and the three lots to the south will
not be included in the development.
If it turns out that this proposal is acceptable, we propose that the city settle the suit by rezoning the
property and approving my client's preliminary plat as amended. Of course, before this matter is
resolved, complete information will need to be submitted to the city by my client. I hope that this is

enough information to provide you an outline for settlement discussions. Please advise me as to
whether there is additional information that you need other than what will be forthcoming from us.
Please contact me as to the city's willingness to discuss this, so we may further discuss scheduling
issues in the case. '
I look forward to hearing from you.

THE iJNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF MINNESOTA
John DeMello and ProfitMax, Inc.,
v.
City of Fridley,
Plaintiffs,
Defendant.
Case No. Civ No. 04-4171 (PAM/RLE)
AGREEMENT
Whereas John DeMello and ProfitMax, Inc. ("Plaintiffs") and the City of Fridley ("the
City") axe presently parties to an action venued in the United States District Court for the District
of Minnesota, arising from the 2004 denial by the City Council of applications for rezoning and
preliminary plat approval ("the Pending Federal Action");
Whereas the parties, through their counsel, have engaged in discussions intended to
resolve their disagreements;
Whereas, in January 2005 the Plaintiffs inforinally provided the City with information
depicting a proposed redevelopment of a portion of the area where their original development
was proposed, reflecting a substantial redesign ("the Redesign") from the development proposed
at the time of the City Council's 2004 denial, including reductions in the number of units, the
area occupied by of the development, and the height of the development;
Whereas, after review of the Redesign as depicted by Plaintiffs in drawings and in text,
the sta.ff of the City and its counsel have indicated that the appropriate next step should be for
Plaintiffs to formally submit new applications reflecting the Redesign, so that they may be
' considered by the City in the manner required by state law and local ordinance;
151605-1
3
Whereas, the parties believe it would be appropriate to place continued litigation on hold J
while the application process occurs, and to agree at this time regarding a course of action if the
Council approves the applications for the Redesign;
Accordingly, the Plaintiffs and the City, through their counsel, agree as follows:
I. If
A. the Plaintiffs submit to the City new applications for a rezoning and preliminary
plat approval that are the same or substantially identical to the design depicted in
drawings of the Redesign provided to the City on or about January 21, 2005,
attached hereto as Exhibit A and the textual information submitted to the City in
January 2005, attached hereto as Exhibit B; and
B, the City Council approves those applications upon the completion of the
procedures required by state law and local ordinance for such approval;
then within 30 days of the final City Council vote approving such applications, the parties,
through their counsel, will execute a stipulation for dismissal of the Pending Federal Action, and
will execute mutual releases intended to release the parties and their agents and officials from all
claims known or unknown arising from the subject matter of the Pending Federal Action.
II. To allow the parties to focus on efforts that, if successful, will resolve the litigation
without unnecessary added expense to the parties, counsel for the parties agree that within 14
days of the execution of this agreement, they will jointly request Magistrate Judge Raymond
Erickson to modify the pretrial scheduling order in the Pending Federal Action to extend the
remaining deadlines by three months, and jointly request the calendar clerk for Judge Paul
Magnuson to postpone or cancel the summary judgment hearing presently scheduled for April
14, 2005.
III. If the condition to dismissal and release set forth above in Section I(A) does not occur by
April 1, 2005 (or by some later date agreed to by the parties), or if the condition to dismissal and
release set forth above in Section I(B) does not occur within 60 days of Plaintiffs' submission of
�
I51605-1
4
a complete set of applications within the meaning of Minn. Stat. § 15.99, or by June 14, 2005 (or
` by some later date agreed to by the parties), then active litigation between the parties sha11
0
resume, and one or both of the parties may then schedule with the court a hearing on cross-
motions for summary judgment on the first mutually available date more than S�days after the
date on which active litigation resumes pursuant to this paragraph.
