Associates, Inc., conducted the sale of these bonds on the City's behalf. The

further recommend that Council accept the "Stipulation of Settlement" dated May 13,
2005, in the amount of $55,000 in full, final and complete settlement of any and all

10. First Reading of an Ordinance to Amend the City Code of the City of

Request, ZOA #05-01, by Har-Mar Incorporated, for Property Generally
Located at 7110-90 University Avenue NE) (Ward 3).
Mr. Hickok, Community Development Director, stated petitioner would like to rezone this
property from M-1, Light Industrial, to C-2, General Business. The purpose of this
rezoning is to allow Billiard Street Cafe to obtain a liquor license. The Comprehensive
Plan amendment is necessary because the property is currently zoned as industrial
which matches the Comprehensive Plan designation. He reviewed the location of the
property just north of Community Park along the west side of University Avenue. Staff
did a site zoning analysis and determined that the proposed rezoning is consistent with
the current uses at the building. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the property
along the University Avenue corridor but is inconsistent with the Comprehensive Plan
which is the reason it needs to be amended. As far as the Comprehensive Plan
analysis, there will be no impact on the Metropolitan systems; it does not change the
service boundary, timing of urban staging, wastewater treatment or discharge to more
than one interceptor. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to recommend
approval of this rezoning and Comprehensive Plan Amendment.

Section 8 Contract Extension
M-05-42
INTRODUCTION
In January 2000, the City of Fridley and the Metropolitan Council entered into a
contractual agreement for provision of Section 8 Administrative services. The contract
expiration date was to be June 1, 2004. On June 30, 2004, the Metropolitan Council
contacted staff and asked to extend the contract through the end of the year (December
1, 2004). An additional extension was then requested to allow time for evaluation of the
terms of the contract and to allow continued service that would be covered by a contract
while our negotiations proceeded. Attached you will find the product of those
negotiations and a contract that is ready to be reviewed and approved if Council
concurs with staff's recommendation. If approved, the term of this contract will run
through June 30, 2010.
ELEMENTS
Negotiations for a new contract were anticipated to occur in the last quarter of last year.
However, budget concerns nationwide and in particular with the Department of Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) caused authorities to need additional time to work out
the terms of the contracts between the fund distribution agencies (Met Council) and
administrators who deliver the services (Wolfe/Saefke/City). Consequently, negotiations
between the Metropolitan Council and the City were stalled as the Metropolitan Council
analyzed elements of the Section 8 delivery of services they administer. At one point it
even appeared as though the Metropolitan Council would pass their administrative role
on to Counties, rather than administering the federal funds as they are currently.
They've finally gotten through their analysis and have determined that they will continue
administering the federal Section 8 program. As a result they were ready to renegotiate
contracts with their service providers like the City of Fridley.
Attached for your convenience is the contract extension language that has been
provided by the Metropolitan Council and is recommended for approval by our staff.
CHANGES OVER PREVIOUS CONTRACT LANGUAGE
The changes over previous year's contracts were few in number, but each carried
impacts that needed to be evaluated. These changes were:
1. The Metropolitan Council chose to administer all aspects of the Section 8 Family Self-
Sufficiency program. Fridley currently performs the recertification and inspections for
Family Self-Sufficiency (FSS). Our choice would have been to administer the FSS
participants. Primarily because we have a solid grasp on rent reasonableness in our
community and believe by having the current FSS participants and new FSS applicants
administered by Metro staff we will experience inconsistencies with rent structures. We
currently have Pat Wolfe administering the HCV Program in Fridley in addition Metro
HRA has staff administering special programs within ourjurisdiction and with FSS there
will be a third staff person administering a feature of the Section 8 program currently
being administered locally.
We think it is a service delivery setback for Section 8 clients, but conceded due to no
willingness to move on the issue on the part of the Metropolitan Council.
2. The Metropolitan Council proposed we perform, schedule, attend and present the
public housing agency's position at informal hearings requested by Section 8 families
whose assistance has been denied, reduced or terminated. Fridley is willing to perform
this feature of the contract assuming we are able to secure a hearing officer locally.
We requested the local fee for informal hearings be increased from the proposed
$100.00 to $175.00. We settled on $150.00.
3. The Metropolitan Council proposed that outside contractors (City) maintain records in
their files for 3 years. For reasons of limited space we proposed file retention for 2
years. The Metropolitan Council folks held their position that three years records on a
"rolling basis" provide a spectrum of historic documents they feel they need for the
program.
Ultimately, we agreed to maintain 3 years of records.
4. Previous language placing limitations on the funds that exceed the cost of our service
delivery have been removed. In other words, in the past we have been able to keep up
to $10,000 of the funds collected for service, funds that go beyond the actual costs of
doing the service. We could keep the money under the conditions that it was reinvested
in housing programs. Half of our Housing Forum expenses were paid from this account
for example.
The $10,000 cap has been lifted, which may mean additional funds for housing related
programming costs, depending on the number of Section 8 clients served.

Staff recommends approval of the attached contract for Section 8 Contractual Services.

SUBJECT.• FINAL CHANGES INAPPROPRIATIONS FOR THE GENERAL FUND,
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FUND FOR
THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2004
DATE: June 8, 2005
Attached you will find the final changes in the appropriations to the budget for the year ended
December 31, 2004. These changes are similar to those that we have brought to Council this time of
year for the past number of years as we prepare to publish the City of Fridley's Annual Financial
Report. These changes are in keeping with Chapter 7 of the City Code. The maj ority of the changes
are based on departmental initiatives that have caused an increase in efficiency of the department or a
better delivery of service to our customers.
The changes to the General Fund are occurring either from within departmental budgets or drawing
from the Emergency Reserve. In no case is this increasing the overall General Fund Budget.
The changes that are shown in a few of the Special Revenue Funds are because these are funds that
traditionally have not been established as part of the normal budgeting process due to the unknown
aspect of each of their activities.
Staff's recommendation is for the City Council to pass the attached resolution and complete the
budget cycle for 2004.

Re: Approval to Withhold Sale of Tax Forfeit Land and Initiate Request for Application to
Acquire Tax Forfeit Land for Right-of-Way Purposes
Staff received a letter and Resolution from Anoka County classifying certain tax forfeit lands in the
county. The city has one piece of tax forfeit property that has been classified by the County. The
classified property has been identified by the City Engineer as a very small piece of land currently
located under street at the corner of Regis Lane and Fillmore Street.
The city is required to approve the classification and sale of forfeit parcels that lie within their
jurisdiction within 60 days of receipt of the letter from the County. If disapproval of any parcel is not
made within 60 days, it is deemed the city has approved the classification and sale.
If the city desires to acquire the parcel, it shall, within 60 days of the request for classification and
sale approval, file a written request with the county board to withhold the parcel from sale and initiate
an application to acquire the parcel. The county board will then withhold the parcel from sale for six
months. If the city does not acquire the property within six months, the county may offer it for sale
upon expiration of the withholding period.
Because the classified parcel is located under a street, staff recommends that the city acquire the
parcel for right-of-way purposes.
Staff recommends a motion withholding sale of tax forfeit land identified by Anoka County PIN No.
24-30-24-31-0111 and directing staff to initiate a request for an application to acquire tax forfeit
parcel for right-of-way purposes.

Public Hearing for Rezoning, ZOA #05-02, John DeMello, Family Lifestyle
Development Corporation.
M-05-47
INTRODUCTION
John DeMello of Family Lifestyle Development Corporation is requesting a plat to create
one new parcel from 1314 Mississippi Street, 1340 Mississippi Street, 6421 Central
Avenue, 6441 Central Avenue (vacant), and 6461 Central Avenue (vacant).
Mr. DeMello is also requesting a rezoning for the east side of Central Avenue between
Mississippi Street and the north property line of the adjacent properties along 64tn
Avenue. Currently, there is a mixture of commercial and residential zonings and the
petitioner is seeking to rezone the entire block to S-2 Redevelopment District.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At the June 3, 2005, Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for ZOA
#05-02. After receiving public comment and a brief discussion, the Planning
Commission recommended approval of ZOA, #05-02, with 23 stipulations as presented.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission.
Anoka County
City staff and the petitioner met with Anoka County to review the comments and
concerns the County had and to review the revised site plan for Spring Valley Estates.
The County has stated that they are amenable to this redesigned plan and would permit
access on Central Avenue as a right in and right out, as well as allow an access on to
Mississippi Street as proposed by the developer.
The County stated that currently there are no imminent plans for reconstruction of either
Central Avenue or Mississippi Street, nor are there any imminent plans to signalize the
intersection. However, it is still important to plan for the future conditions as
development plans are considered for approval. Please see letter from Anoka County
included in your packet.
Rice Creek Watershed - wetland
The petitioner and his consultant met with the Rice Creek Watershed District City staff
received a notice of exemption from the Rice Creek Watershed, on March 25, 2004.
The exception was approved as it appears that the wetland was incidentally created and
is not protected under the Wetland Conservation Act.
The developer met with interested neighbors to discuss the revised plan.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION

address concerns raised by the Planning Commission, City Council and the
neighborhood. City Staff recommends approval of the new site plan, and the rezoning
request, with the subsequent master plan.

To Mayor Lund and City Council members:
Re: Demello project.
I am at a loss to understand what more the people who reside
here have to do to convince.you that we do not want another huge
edifice in our neighborhood. We did not want Town Developement.
No matter that they use less land and 1 story less. A11 the �
problems that they admitted to at the planning commission
meeting are not resolved. They have changed�their name, changed
_ their plan, have NO solid master plan. (An elevator at both ends
of that huge building? Residents in the middle will have a long
walk to their apartment. They did not elucidate some of the
stipulations from the previous project- i.e. definitive age
of residents, limit of rental units, etc.) It strikes me as a
mishmash of what the developer wants / what the architect wants /
and most of all what Staff wan�s. Staff has been assidiously
working with them to attain what they want, with little regard
for the people who reside here. We want to keep thr neighbo�hood
with as many single family dwellings as we can. As an aside, the
findings of the Housing Forum do not reflect our goalssThe
close work Staff has done with Demello does not reflect our
goals. But, if you agree with them, allow me to play SEER and
predict what this neighborhood will become within 5'years.
Mostl� rental. (at least 7 homes on Pierce and Dellwood are
for sale or for rent right now because of these developments,
Also some on Lucia Lane and Mississippi. Gradual erosion of
upkeep resulting in slum conditions. If this is what the camp
�
._ .,
plan and Staff want, Lord help us all!
Demello and Staff are using the state of flux to confuse the
issue. i.e. - last years project was 45 feet in height. This
one is 35 feet in height. But th�2 berm is 8 feet high, then
the building, so the actt�al height is 43 feet. Being 35 feet
is stressed in the presentation, but not the actual height.
When something is presented without the height and density of
this project, I am sure we would be amenable and certainly �
more receptive to something that did not ruin the composition
of the neighborhood and not crammed down our throats by an
over-zealous Staff. Until then, I entreat you to consider
the impact this project will have on our neighborhood and
future similar projects in other family neighborhoods in
Fridley. I thank you for your acknowledgement of our concerns.

Spring Valley Estates Overview
Summary of Applications
John DeMello of Family Lifestyle Development Corporation is requesting two separate land use
actions from the City of Fridley in order to construct a mixed use retail/senior housing complex
on the southeast corner of Central Avenue and Mississippi Street. The two actions that have
been requested are a Plat and a Rezoning. Both of these applications, and the master plan
approval, will be examined individually in this report.
A Plat has been requested to create one new parcel, combining existing lots located at 1340
and 1314 Mississippi Street, and 6461, 6441 (vacant), and 6421 Central Avenue. A 10,492
square foot retail complex will occupy the lower level of the northeastern corner of the building
with 70 condominium units occupying the remainder of the building.
The petitioner is also requesting a rezoning for the newly created parcel. Currently, there is a
mixture of commercial and residential zonings. The petitioner is seeking to rezone the entire
block to S-2 Redevelopment District.

Proposed Project
The petitioner is proposing to construct a 3-story complex, which incorporates a 10,492 square
foot retail area on the lower level of the northwestern corner of the development. The petitioner
has stated that he envisions that this complex will house neighborhood retail businesses, which
could include businesses like a pharmacy, a coffee shop, an ice cream/sandwich shop or a hair
salon. The retail complex will include 45 - 9 foot wide parking stalls for customers.
The housing portion of the complex will have 70 condominium units for seniors. The proposed
70 units will be owner-occupied and comprised of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units. There are a
variety of unit styles and sizes with some including a den. The residential development will
include 110 underground parking stalls and 12 surface parking stalls. The petitioner plans to
model the exterior of both projects after an Italian villa. The site will include a storm water pond
with landscaping that surrounds the property.
Site History
The proposed development area is located on the southeast corner of Mississippi Street and
Central Avenue. The area consists of 2 vacant lots, which are located on Central Avenue and 4
homes that were constructed prior to 1952, 2 of which are located on Mississippi Street and the
other 2 are located on Central Avenue. The petitioners' father, Frank DeMello purchased the
vacant parcel located 6461 Central Avenue, 25 years ago. When the property at 1314
Mississippi Street came up for sale over the summer of 2003, the petitioner purchased it with
the hope of developing the land. The petitioner then contacted surrounding property owners to
see if they would be interested in selling their properties. When the neighboring property owners
became interested in selling their properties, the petitioner came forward with a redevelopment
proposal in the spring of 2004.
The previous plat and rezoning applications were denied. The 2004 proposal included the
creation of two separate parcels and included three additional lots down to 64th Avenue with the
retail portion of the development being a separate building and parcel. The housing portion of
the proposal was to build a 90-unit, four-story, senior condominium complex. The retail portion
of the development included plans for 13,750 sq. ft. of commercial retail space. The City Council
denied this proposal, citing that the density was too high, creating potential traffic problems with
traffic existing onto 64th Avenue, limiting landscaping opportunities, and limiting the possibility of
adequate snow storage areas.
Analysis
Rezoning Application ZOA #OS-02
The petitioner is requesting a rezoning and master plan approval for the east side of Central
Avenue between Mississippi Street south to and including 6421 Old Central Avenue. Currently,
there is a mixture of commercial and residential zonings and the petitioner is seeking to rezone
the entire block to S-2 Redevelopment District. The properties requesting to be rezoned are
1340 Mississippi Street (single family home, zoned R-1, Single Family), 1314 Mississippi Street
(single family home and garage (welding shop), zoned C-2, General Business), 6461 Central
Avenue (vacant lot, zoned C-2, General Business), 6441 Central Avenue (vacant lot, split
zoning, zoned C-1, Local Business and R-1, Single Family), and 6421 Central Avenue (single
family home, split zoning, zoned C-1, Local Business and R-1, Single Family). The petitioner is
proposing to redevelop these five parcels.
Zoning Map — Shows mix of zoning and properties to be replatted and rezoned.
As the properties exist today, 6441 and 6421 Central Avenue have split zoning between C-1,
Local Business and R-1, Single Family. While both of the lots are rather large in size, conflicts
arise when the zoning is split between a commercial and residential zoning at an arbitrary point
in the lot.
Rezoning a property to S-2 Redevelopment District, requires that the accompanying site plan
become the master plan for the site. If the rezoning and master plan were approved by the City
2
Council any modification of the site plan would need to go back to the City Council for review
and approval. Review of the master plan also needs to be completed by the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority as the property is in a Redevelopment District.
Comprehensive Plan — Future Land Use and Housing Chapters
The City's Zoning Ordinance and official Zoning Map are the mechanisms that help the City
achieve the vision laid out in the Comprehensive Plan. State Statute gives the City the authority
to "rezone" property from one designated use to another, so long as the zoning is in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan was developed with
resident input taken from several meetings held between 1998 and 2000 and is a"tool intended
to help guide future growth and development of the community...lt is a plan because it contains
goa/s, policies and strategies that all work together, looking to the future and working towards
achieving a community wide vision". In order for a rezoning to be viewed favorably, it must be in
line with the City's vision laid out in the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed retail complex, senior owner-occupied condominium complex and rezoning of the
properties meet several of the objectives the residents of Fridley identified in the visioning
sessions for the Comprehensive Plan. The area of Old Central between Mississippi Street and
Rice Creek Road was identified as an area for future redevelopment. The purpose of
redevelopment is to provide the opportunity for more efficient land uses and eliminate inefficient
land uses and under utilized parcels. Redevelopment can a/so provide an opportunity to build
new facilities, meet current market demands and desires of the City, creates new tax base, and
creates additional job opportunities. All the above purposes of redevelopment have the
potential of being met with the rezoning of these properties.
The Comprehensive Plan specifically states that for this portion of Old Central, "consideration
should be made to replacing the current mix of single-family residential and commercial uses
with higher density residential development that together with the health club may serve as an
attractive residential location for move-up housing".
The Comprehensive Plan also states that for projects in these redevelopment areas requiring
rezoning that the S-2 zoning designation "would be the appropriate Zoning district to implement
for the redevelopment project. The intent of the district is to provide the City with site plan
review authority to determine if the proposed project meets the goa/s and objectives of the City's
Comprehensive and Redevelopment Plans".
The Comprehensive Plan, in both the Future Land Use & the Housing chapters, addresses the
desire for a variety of housing types in a number of goals listed below.
• Ensure that adequate opportunities exist for the development of a variety of housing
types at a range of affordability levels including low, low-moderate and high cost housing
to meet the life-cycle needs of Fridley residents.
• Create sustainable, self-reliant, mixed-use and mixed-income neighborhoods that
contribute positively to the quality of life and image of Fridley.
• Ensure a variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life cycle.
• Strengthen neighborhoods and improve upon the quality of the City's housing stock.
• Diversify the housing supply to include move up housing both in the form of rental and
owner occupied housing.
As Fridley's residents continue to age, demand will increase for "empty nester" and senior
housing. There will be an increased demand for senior rental, senior owned condominium/town
homes, and assisted living facilities. The proposed project, 70 senior owner-occupied
condominium units, will meet some of the current demand for those seniors seeking alternatives
to their current housing type.
Rezoning these properties helps to achieve the Comprehensive Plan's goal for this area.
�
Housing Market Study
The petitioner hired Maxfield Research Inc. in 2003 to complete a Market Feasibility Study for
Senior Housing in Fridley. The demographic and competitive market analysis done by Maxfield
was updated in March 2004, and, again in March 2005. The latest updated remarks from
Maxfield indicates that there continues to be a demand in the Fridley area for senior
condominium housing units. Maxfield's research is taking into account the planned Town Center
project across Central Avenue, which is yet to begin construction.
The original, base housing market study pointed out that given the competitive situation in the
marketplace, the quality of the subject site, and the lack of for-sale product within three miles of
the property, the senior condominium project would be the most marketable product for the site.
Their research also showed that the subject site could best support an age-restricted owner-
occupied development such as a condominium or cooperative of around 70 units.
Maxfield's updated figures indicate suggested sale prices to be $156,000 for the smallest one-
bedroom unit to $279,000 for the largest three-bedroom unit. They expect the entire housing
portion of the project to sell out in 22 months.
Plat Application #OS-02
John DeMello, Family Lifestyle Development Corporation, is seeking to replat the properties
located at 1340 Mississippi Street, 1314 Mississippi Street, 6461 Central Avenue, 6441 Central
Avenue, and 6421 Central Avenue to create one new consolidated lot. The proposed plat will
consist of one lot; Lot 1, Block 1, Spring Valley Estates. This is different than the 2004 proposal
which created two new lots, one accommodating the retail portion of the development and one
containing the housing portion of the project.
Looking south on Old Central toward project area
Rezoning a property to S-2, Redevelopment District allows for the maximum flexibility for a
redevelopment project. The petitioner has designed their project to meet the zoning
classification codes most similar to their intended use. This would be C-2, General Business,
zoning for the retail portion of the project and R-3, General Multiple Unit Housing, for the
residential portion of the project. The retail portion of the proposed development is 10,492
square feet and meets all the parking requirements for the number of parking stalls required for
a retail use under the speculative parking ratio requirements. Proof of parking for an additional 8
parking stalls is also provided. Staff is satisfied with this amount of parking for the commercial
part of the development.
�
The housing portion of the project is 120,196 square feet in size with all three floors combined.
This is a density of 21 units per acre. The petitioner is proposing to construct 70 senior owner-
occupied condominium units. The development will include 110 underground parking stalls and
12 surface parking stalls. This amount of parking meets the requirement for an independent
living facility. However, staff considers this project to fall somewhere in between the category of
senior assisted living and market rate housing parking requirements. Market rate parking
requirements would be for a total of 129 parking spaces. The petitioner is proposing at total of
122 parking stalls, which is 7 units shy of the market rate requirements. Staff believes the
amount of stalls provided should be adequate since some households occupying this complex
would be expected to have only one vehicle.
Staff finds the lot coverage proposed to be reasonable for a mixed use development. Code
requires no more than 30% lot coverage for multi-unit residential and commercial properties.
The proposed project shows 28% lot coverage, meeting requirements for both zoning types.
Early discussions with Anoka County indicated that additional right-of-way on Central Avenue
and Mississippi Street will be required for future reconstruction purposes. They anticipate that a
120 ft. right-of-way corridor will be required for both Central Avenue/Mississippi Street
intersections in order to provide the necessary turn lanes for future safety and operational
purposes. The County assumes when the Central Avenue/Mississippi Street intersection is
reconstructed, it would be centered in the 120 ft. right-of-way corridor. Consequently, roadway
right-of-way dedication needs for this site are 27-30 ft. adjacent to Mississippi Street and 10 ft.
adjacent to Central Avenue. Therefore, staff assumes that the County will be requesting that at
this time, both of the right-of-ways be dedicated.
The petitioner has drawn the site plan to illustrate right-of-way acquisition along both County
Roads. Due to necessity of right-of-way acquisition, the drive lane on the west side of the
development will be only two feet from the west property line. The parking setback on the north
side of the development, which is considered the front yard of this site layout, meets the
minimum 35' setback. The building is 34' in height to the mid-span of the roof line. Therefore,
the building only requires a 15' side yard setback on the east side, but an 18' setback is
provided. The additional 3' of side yard setback was provided on the east side of the project,
because fire truck access may be required. The 18' setback, combined with an 8' public right of
way that runs along the east property line, would provide 26' of clearance for the possibly
required fire truck access. The rear yard setback of 40' on the south side has also been met. As
stated above, due to the flexibility allowed in the S-2, Redevelopment district, the diminished
setbacks can be recognized under this rezoning master plan approval.
The proposal as submitted does not meet the landscaping requirements of City Code, however.
According to code, 160 trees will be required for this development. The petitioner is proposing to
provide 91 trees. Code also requires at minimum that 30% of the trees be coniferous. This
would be 48 of the 160 trees required. The petitioner has met this requirement in the proposal
by providing 49 conifers. The petitioner is proposing to add rain garden plantings to the ponding
areas in lieu of some of the tree landscaping requirement. Staff would like to encourage the rain
garden plantings, but would like to see more trees planted on the property as well. There
currently is very little landscaping proposed on the south end of the plat. There are also
possibilities to save some of the existing trees that could reduce the 160 tree requirement.
Traffc Study
Staff utilized a number of sources to determine the possible impacts that 70 senior owner
occupied condominium units and the commercial complex may have on the local traffic patterns.
Staff consulted the Transportation chapter of the City's Comprehensive Plan, and reviewed the
traffic study supplied by TDI, Traffic Date Incorporated.
�
Comprehensive Plan — Transportation Chapter
The City's Comprehensive Plan indicated that in 2001, the portion of Old Central adjacent to the
proposed senior condominiums carried 8,000 vehicles per day and, at this traffic level, was only
carrying 57% of the traffic for which the roadway was designed and constructed to function at a
Level of Service (LOS) D. The Comprehensive Plan anticipates Old Central carrying over
10,000 vehicles per day by the year 2020, based upon increases in population for Fridley &
surrounding communities, as well as redevelopment and reinvestment within Fridley. At 10,000
vehicles / day, Old Central will be carrying 71 % if the maximum amount of traffic for which the
roadway was designed.
Review of Traffc Impact Report Prepared by TDI, Inc.
Family Lifestyle Development Corporation hired TDI, Traffic Data Incorporated, a Data
Collection, Traffic Engineering and Transportation Planning firm to perform a traffic analysis in
2004. The analysis was regarding the proposal for more housing units and more retail space
than the current proposal. The consultants performed a trip generation analysis based on the
methods and rates published in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition, which was
published in December 2003. At that time, the consultants used the SeniorAdult Housing
Attached category in the ITE manual to determine that the proposed senior complex would
generate a total of 247 trips per day. The consultants used the Specialty Retail Center category
from the ITE manual and determined that the proposed retail complex would generate a total of
598 trips per day.

TDI developed traffic forecasts for the following 2005 scenarios:
➢ No Build (with traffic forecasted from the Town Center Senior Housing project
approved across from the site on Central Avenue)
➢ Build Spring Valley Estates (with traffic forecasted from the Town Center Senior
Housing project approved across from the site on Central Avenue)
The finding of these forecasts show that the level of service at both the Central Avenue/64tn
Avenue intersections and the Mississippi Street/Central Avenue intersections would remain the
same in the no-build or build scenarios. The only change seen is during the AM Peak Hour at
the Central Avenue/64th Avenue eastbound intersection, where the level of service would
change from LOS B to LOS C.

To complete the traffic study, the consultants also referred to the Minnesota Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices, which governs the use of traffic control devices per Minnesota State
Statute. The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices has eight criteria (called
warrants) to consider when determining if a traffic signal should be installed at an intersection or
not. These warrants are primarily based on the traffic volumes flowing through the intersection.
A warrant analysis was conducted for the Mississippi Street/Central Avenue intersection. To
complete this analysis, TDI staff performed a turning movement count from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00
p.m. at the Mississippi Street/Central Avenue intersection. None of the eight warrants are met
under the existing conditions, nor will they be met if the senior housing and retail buildings are
constructed on the proposed site. According to this analysis, a traffic signal should not be
installed at the intersection of Mississippi Street and Central Avenue until at least one of the
warrants is being met.
The conclusions of TDI's analysis state that the stop controlled approaches at the Central
Avenue/64th Avenue intersection operate at LOS C or better under all scenarios with the existing
lane configurations and traffic control. The intersection of Mississippi Street and Central Avenue
will operate at LOS D or better under all scenarios with the existing lane configurations and
traffic controls. A traffic signal was not currently warranted at the intersection and a traffic signal
was not be warranted at the intersection after the previously proposed development would have
been completed, according to the 2004 traffic study.
The traffic study consultant was asked to submit comments regarding the traffic impacts of the
current redevelopment proposal for less retail space and housing units. Their comments were
summed up by the following statement: "As long as the proposed number of units and amount
of retail space remains below the amount 1 initially studied, the roadway network will
accommodate the seniorhousing development."A complete copy of the 2004 traffic study is
available upon request.
Wetland/Drainage
The petitioner is still working with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) to finalize an
agreement regarding the necessary permits needed for the project. The wetland that was of
concern in last year's proposal has been exempted by the RCWD, so no replacement or
mitigation is required. Revised storm water management plans are expected to resolve
concerns that the City Engineering Department had over the initial set of plans submitted with
the application.
Comments Received
During the public hearings for this development proposed last year, there was a great deal of
Public input. Some of the concerns raised were regarding traffic and a guarantee that the
tenants of the complex would be 55 or older. To alleviate those concerns ahead of time, the
petitioner provided city staff with a traffic study and a copy of the proposed association
documents upon submittal of the rezoning and plat request. Much of the concern, however,
revolved around traffic onto 64th Avenue. The current development proposal no longer includes
the properties along 64th Avenue and will not have access onto 64th Avenue.
The petitioner held a neighborhood meeting on April 27 and is holding a second neighborhood
informational meeting on May 27. Staff was not in attendance at either of these meetings.
However, we have heard that concerns raised have mostly been about crime or traffic.
Staff has received only a couple of calls to date in response to the public hearing notice,
inquiring about the property. These callers were seeking information about the project, but did
not exhibit any objections. Staff has also received a call from someone interested in buying a
condominium unit.

We wish to convey our adamant opposition to the la.test DeMello apartment building

DeMello's new proposal is in essence very similar to DeMello's ProfitMax proposal that
the City Council overwhelmingly denied last year.
It was widely expressed last yeaz tha.t this location was NOT an appropria.te place for an

Dear Mr. Mayor,
I am opposed to the plan to rezone five parcels into one for the sole purpose of high
density housing. Why doesn't it seem to matter what the citizens of Fridley really want?
Our property is valuable to us and who would want to buy any of the houses that are in
view of the project that is on the agenda. This is nothing more than greed for the
developer and the City of Fridley. Not all people who retire can afford to live in the units
that are proposed. Does that mean we are to be penalized not once, but twice, because
the value of our home will depreciate.
When the units are completed and are not rented out, what are your plans for filling the
units? I've seen it happen many times when the units aren't being rented they take
alternate routes such as Section 8, etc. It is a known fact that once anything like that is
built they manage to change the rules of how it can be filled. If the city is so concerned
over tax revenue why didn't the city put in a gold course that was purposed instead of
Spring Brook Nature Center? Now the people of Fridley are paying for the park to stay
open.
Also, how convenient that Demello chose to hold this meeting on a holiday weekend
when most people have plans and will be out of town. His other meetings were received
on the day of the meeting or the day after. It's beginning to look like Fridley will not be
happy until the city is paved from one end to the other. There seems to be hidden interest
for somebody other than the City of Fridley. I guess if it isn't near your property it
doesn't matter what they stick in. City officials are elected into office to oversee what is
best for the city and the citizens who reside there. I for one, along with others, don't
thinks they're doing their job in our best interest.
Sincerely,
C� � . . ��

A public hearing was held on May 9, 2005 regarding Greg Asproth's application to allow Billiard
Street Cafe to have an intoxicating liquor license and late hour endorsement.
This license is contingent upon the City Council approving a zoning text amendment from M-1 to C-
2 which would allot an intoxicating liquor license in that zoning district.
The issue of minors in attendance has been raised with the applicant and he is aware it is his
responsibility to monitor minors. In addition, the applicant is working with a consultant to increase

Spring Valley Estates Overview
Summary of Applications
John DeMello of Family Lifestyle Development Corporation is requesting two separate land use
actions from the City of Fridley in order to construct a mixed use retail/senior housing complex
on the southeast corner of Central Avenue and Mississippi Street. The two actions that have
been requested are a Plat and a Rezoning. Both of these applications, and the master plan
approval, will be examined individually in this report.
A Plat has been requested to create one new parcel, combining existing lots located at 1340
and 1314 Mississippi Street, and 6461, 6441 (vacant), and 6421 Central Avenue. A 10,492
square foot retail complex will occupy the lower level of the northeastern corner of the building
with 70 condominium units occupying the remainder of the building.
The petitioner is also requesting a rezoning for the newly created parcel. Currently, there is a
mixture of commercial and residential zonings. The petitioner is seeking to rezone the entire
block to S-2 Redevelopment District.

Proposed Project
The petitioner is proposing to construct a 3-story complex, which incorporates a 10,492 square
foot retail area on the lower level of the northwestern corner of the development. The petitioner
has stated that he envisions that this complex will house neighborhood retail businesses, which
could include businesses like a pharmacy, a coffee shop, an ice cream/sandwich shop or a hair
salon. The retail complex will include 45 - 9 foot wide parking stalls for customers.
The housing portion of the complex will have 70 condominium units for seniors. The proposed
70 units will be owner-occupied and comprised of 1, 2, and 3 bedroom units. There are a
variety of unit styles and sizes with some including a den. The residential development will
include 110 underground parking stalls and 12 surface parking stalls. The petitioner plans to
model the exterior of both projects after an Italian villa. The site will include a storm water pond
with landscaping that surrounds the property.
Site History
The proposed development area is located on the southeast corner of Mississippi Street and
Central Avenue. The area consists of 2 vacant lots, which are located on Central Avenue and 4
homes that were constructed prior to 1952, 2 of which are located on Mississippi Street and the
other 2 are located on Central Avenue. The petitioners' father, Frank DeMello purchased the
vacant parcel located 6461 Central Avenue, 25 years ago. When the property at 1314
Mississippi Street came up for sale over the summer of 2003, the petitioner purchased it with
the hope of developing the land. The petitioner then contacted surrounding property owners to
see if they would be interested in selling their properties. When the neighboring property owners
became interested in selling their properties, the petitioner came forward with a redevelopment
proposal in the spring of 2004.
The previous plat and rezoning applications were denied. The 2004 proposal included the
creation of two separate parcels and included three additional lots down to 64th Avenue with the
retail portion of the development being a separate building and parcel. The housing portion of
the proposal was to build a 90-unit, four-story, senior condominium complex. The retail portion
of the development included plans for 13,750 sq. ft. of commercial retail space. The City Council
denied this proposal, citing that the density was too high, creating potential traffic problems with
traffic existing onto 64th Avenue, limiting landscaping opportunities, and limiting the possibility of
adequate snow storage areas.
Analysis
Rezoning Application ZOA #OS-02
The petitioner is requesting a rezoning and master plan approval for the east side of Central
Avenue between Mississippi Street south to and including 6421 Old Central Avenue. Currently,
there is a mixture of commercial and residential zonings and the petitioner is seeking to rezone
the entire block to S-2 Redevelopment District. The properties requesting to be rezoned are
1340 Mississippi Street (single family home, zoned R-1, Single Family), 1314 Mississippi Street
(single family home and garage (welding shop), zoned C-2, General Business), 6461 Central
Avenue (vacant lot, zoned C-2, General Business), 6441 Central Avenue (vacant lot, split
zoning, zoned C-1, Local Business and R-1, Single Family), and 6421 Central Avenue (single
family home, split zoning, zoned C-1, Local Business and R-1, Single Family). The petitioner is
proposing to redevelop these five parcels.
Zoning Map — Shows mix of zoning and properties to be replatted and rezoned.
As the properties exist today, 6441 and 6421 Central Avenue have split zoning between C-1,
Local Business and R-1, Single Family. While both of the lots are rather large in size, conflicts
arise when the zoning is split between a commercial and residential zoning at an arbitrary point
in the lot.
Rezoning a property to S-2 Redevelopment District, requires that the accompanying site plan
become the master plan for the site. If the rezoning and master plan were approved by the City
2
Council any modification of the site plan would need to go back to the City Council for review
and approval. Review of the master plan also needs to be completed by the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority as the property is in a Redevelopment District.
Comprehensive Plan — Future Land Use and Housing Chapters
The City's Zoning Ordinance and official Zoning Map are the mechanisms that help the City
achieve the vision laid out in the Comprehensive Plan. State Statute gives the City the authority
to "rezone" property from one designated use to another, so long as the zoning is in
conformance with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan was developed with
resident input taken from several meetings held between 1998 and 2000 and is a"tool intended
to help guide future growth and development of the community...lt is a plan because it contains
goa/s, policies and strategies that all work together, looking to the future and working towards
achieving a community wide vision". In order for a rezoning to be viewed favorably, it must be in
line with the City's vision laid out in the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed retail complex, senior owner-occupied condominium complex and rezoning of the
properties meet several of the objectives the residents of Fridley identified in the visioning
sessions for the Comprehensive Plan. The area of Old Central between Mississippi Street and
Rice Creek Road was identified as an area for future redevelopment. The purpose of
redevelopment is to provide the opportunity for more efficient land uses and eliminate inefficient
land uses and under utilized parcels. Redevelopment can a/so provide an opportunity to build
new facilities, meet current market demands and desires of the City, creates new tax base, and
creates additional job opportunities. All the above purposes of redevelopment have the
potential of being met with the rezoning of these properties.
The Comprehensive Plan specifically states that for this portion of Old Central, "consideration
should be made to replacing the current mix of single-family residential and commercial uses
with higher density residential development that together with the health club may serve as an
attractive residential location for move-up housing".
The Comprehensive Plan also states that for projects in these redevelopment areas requiring
rezoning that the S-2 zoning designation "would be the appropriate Zoning district to implement
for the redevelopment project. The intent of the district is to provide the City with site plan
review authority to determine if the proposed project meets the goa/s and objectives of the City's
Comprehensive and Redevelopment Plans".
The Comprehensive Plan, in both the Future Land Use & the Housing chapters, addresses the
desire for a variety of housing types in a number of goals listed below.
• Ensure that adequate opportunities exist for the development of a variety of housing
types at a range of affordability levels including low, low-moderate and high cost housing
to meet the life-cycle needs of Fridley residents.
• Create sustainable, self-reliant, mixed-use and mixed-income neighborhoods that
contribute positively to the quality of life and image of Fridley.
• Ensure a variety of housing types for people in all stages of the life cycle.
• Strengthen neighborhoods and improve upon the quality of the City's housing stock.
• Diversify the housing supply to include move up housing both in the form of rental and
owner occupied housing.
As Fridley's residents continue to age, demand will increase for "empty nester" and senior
housing. There will be an increased demand for senior rental, senior owned condominium/town
homes, and assisted living facilities. The proposed project, 70 senior owner-occupied
condominium units, will meet some of the current demand for those seniors seeking alternatives
to their current housing type.
Rezoning these properties helps to achieve the Comprehensive Plan's goal for this area.
�
Housing Market Study
The petitioner hired Maxfield Research Inc. in 2003 to complete a Market Feasibility Study for
Senior Housing in Fridley. The demographic and competitive market analysis done by Maxfield
was updated in March 2004, and, again in March 2005. The latest updated remarks from
Maxfield indicates that there continues to be a demand in the Fridley area for senior
condominium housing units. Maxfield's research is taking into account the planned Town Center
project across Central Avenue, which is yet to begin construction.
The original, base housing market study pointed out that given the competitive situation in the
marketplace, the quality of the subject site, and the lack of for-sale product within three miles of
the property, the senior condominium project would be the most marketable product for the site.
Their research also showed that the subject site could best support an age-restricted owner-
occupied development such as a condominium or cooperative of around 70 units.
Maxfield's updated figures indicate suggested sale prices to be $156,000 for the smallest one-
bedroom unit to $279,000 for the largest three-bedroom unit. They expect the entire housing
portion of the project to sell out in 22 months.
Plat Application #OS-02
John DeMello, Family Lifestyle Development Corporation, is seeking to replat the properties
located at 1340 Mississippi Street, 1314 Mississippi Street, 6461 Central Avenue, 6441 Central
Avenue, and 6421 Central Avenue to create one new consolidated lot. The proposed plat will
consist of one lot; Lot 1, Block 1, Spring Valley Estates. This is different than the 2004 proposal
which created two new lots, one accommodating the retail portion of the development and one
containing the housing portion of the project.
Looking south on Old Central toward project area
Rezoning a property to S-2, Redevelopment District allows for the maximum flexibility for a
redevelopment project. The petitioner has designed their project to meet the zoning
classification codes most similar to their intended use. This would be C-2, General Business,
zoning for the retail portion of the project and R-3, General Multiple Unit Housing, for the
residential portion of the project. The retail portion of the proposed development is 10,492
square feet and meets all the parking requirements for the number of parking stalls required for
a retail use under the speculative parking ratio requirements. Proof of parking for an additional 8
parking stalls is also provided. Staff is satisfied with this amount of parking for the commercial
part of the development.
�
The housing portion of the project is 120,196 square feet in size with all three floors combined.
This is a density of 21 units per acre. The petitioner is proposing to construct 70 senior owner-
occupied condominium units. The development will include 110 underground parking stalls and
12 surface parking stalls. This amount of parking meets the requirement for an independent
living facility. However, staff considers this project to fall somewhere in between the category of
senior assisted living and market rate housing parking requirements. Market rate parking
requirements would be for a total of 129 parking spaces. The petitioner is proposing at total of
122 parking stalls, which is 7 units shy of the market rate requirements. Staff believes the
amount of stalls provided should be adequate since some households occupying this complex
would be expected to have only one vehicle.
Staff finds the lot coverage proposed to be reasonable for a mixed use development. Code
requires no more than 30% lot coverage for multi-unit residential and commercial properties.
The proposed project shows 28% lot coverage, meeting requirements for both zoning types.
Early discussions with Anoka County indicated that additional right-of-way on Central Avenue
and Mississippi Street will be required for future reconstruction purposes. They anticipate that a
120 ft. right-of-way corridor will be required for both Central Avenue/Mississippi Street
intersections in order to provide the necessary turn lanes for future safety and operational
purposes. The County assumes when the Central Avenue/Mississippi Street intersection is
reconstructed, it would be centered in the 120 ft. right-of-way corridor. Consequently, roadway
right-of-way dedication needs for this site are 27-30 ft. adjacent to Mississippi Street and 10 ft.
adjacent to Central Avenue. Therefore, staff assumes that the County will be requesting that at
this time, both of the right-of-ways be dedicated.
The petitioner has drawn the site plan to illustrate right-of-way acquisition along both County
Roads. Due to necessity of right-of-way acquisition, the drive lane on the west side of the
development will be only two feet from the west property line. The parking setback on the north
side of the development, which is considered the front yard of this site layout, meets the
minimum 35' setback. The building is 34' in height to the mid-span of the roof line. Therefore,
the building only requires a 15' side yard setback on the east side, but an 18' setback is
provided. The additional 3' of side yard setback was provided on the east side of the project,
because fire truck access may be required. The 18' setback, combined with an 8' public right of
way that runs along the east property line, would provide 26' of clearance for the possibly
required fire truck access. The rear yard setback of 40' on the south side has also been met. As
stated above, due to the flexibility allowed in the S-2, Redevelopment district, the diminished
setbacks can be recognized under this rezoning master plan approval.
The proposal as submitted does not meet the landscaping requirements of City Code, however.
According to code, 160 trees will be required for this development. The petitioner is proposing to
provide 91 trees. Code also requires at minimum that 30% of the trees be coniferous. This
would be 48 of the 160 trees required. The petitioner has met this requirement in the proposal
by providing 49 conifers. The petitioner is proposing to add rain garden plantings to the ponding
areas in lieu of some of the tree landscaping requirement. Staff would like to encourage the rain
garden plantings, but would like to see more trees planted on the property as well. There
currently is very little landscaping proposed on the south end of the plat. There are also
possibilities to save some of the existing trees that could reduce the 160 tree requirement.
Traffc Study
Staff utilized a number of sources to determine the possible impacts that 70 senior owner
occupied condominium units and the commercial complex may have on the local traffic patterns.
Staff consulted the Transportation chapter of the City's Comprehensive Plan, and reviewed the
traffic study supplied by TDI, Traffic Date Incorporated.
�
Comprehensive Plan — Transportation Chapter
The City's Comprehensive Plan indicated that in 2001, the portion of Old Central adjacent to the
proposed senior condominiums carried 8,000 vehicles per day and, at this traffic level, was only
carrying 57% of the traffic for which the roadway was designed and constructed to function at a
Level of Service (LOS) D. The Comprehensive Plan anticipates Old Central carrying over
10,000 vehicles per day by the year 2020, based upon increases in population for Fridley &
surrounding communities, as well as redevelopment and reinvestment within Fridley. At 10,000
vehicles / day, Old Central will be carrying 71 % if the maximum amount of traffic for which the
roadway was designed.
Review of Traffc Impact Report Prepared by TDI, Inc.
Family Lifestyle Development Corporation hired TDI, Traffic Data Incorporated, a Data
Collection, Traffic Engineering and Transportation Planning firm to perform a traffic analysis in
2004. The analysis was regarding the proposal for more housing units and more retail space
than the current proposal. The consultants performed a trip generation analysis based on the
methods and rates published in the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition, which was
published in December 2003. At that time, the consultants used the SeniorAdult Housing
Attached category in the ITE manual to determine that the proposed senior complex would
generate a total of 247 trips per day. The consultants used the Specialty Retail Center category
from the ITE manual and determined that the proposed retail complex would generate a total of
598 trips per day.

TDI developed traffic forecasts for the following 2005 scenarios:
➢ No Build (with traffic forecasted from the Town Center Senior Housing project
approved across from the site on Central Avenue)
➢ Build Spring Valley Estates (with traffic forecasted from the Town Center Senior
Housing project approved across from the site on Central Avenue)
The finding of these forecasts show that the level of service at both the Central Avenue/64tn
Avenue intersections and the Mississippi Street/Central Avenue intersections would remain the
same in the no-build or build scenarios. The only change seen is during the AM Peak Hour at
the Central Avenue/64th Avenue eastbound intersection, where the level of service would
change from LOS B to LOS C.

To complete the traffic study, the consultants also referred to the Minnesota Manual on Uniform
Traffic Control Devices, which governs the use of traffic control devices per Minnesota State
Statute. The Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices has eight criteria (called
warrants) to consider when determining if a traffic signal should be installed at an intersection or
not. These warrants are primarily based on the traffic volumes flowing through the intersection.
A warrant analysis was conducted for the Mississippi Street/Central Avenue intersection. To
complete this analysis, TDI staff performed a turning movement count from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00
p.m. at the Mississippi Street/Central Avenue intersection. None of the eight warrants are met
under the existing conditions, nor will they be met if the senior housing and retail buildings are
constructed on the proposed site. According to this analysis, a traffic signal should not be
installed at the intersection of Mississippi Street and Central Avenue until at least one of the
warrants is being met.
The conclusions of TDI's analysis state that the stop controlled approaches at the Central
Avenue/64th Avenue intersection operate at LOS C or better under all scenarios with the existing
lane configurations and traffic control. The intersection of Mississippi Street and Central Avenue
will operate at LOS D or better under all scenarios with the existing lane configurations and
traffic controls. A traffic signal was not currently warranted at the intersection and a traffic signal
was not be warranted at the intersection after the previously proposed development would have
been completed, according to the 2004 traffic study.
The traffic study consultant was asked to submit comments regarding the traffic impacts of the
current redevelopment proposal for less retail space and housing units. Their comments were
summed up by the following statement: "As long as the proposed number of units and amount
of retail space remains below the amount 1 initially studied, the roadway network will
accommodate the seniorhousing development."A complete copy of the 2004 traffic study is
available upon request.
Wetland/Drainage
The petitioner is still working with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) to finalize an
agreement regarding the necessary permits needed for the project. The wetland that was of
concern in last year's proposal has been exempted by the RCWD, so no replacement or
mitigation is required. Revised storm water management plans are expected to resolve
concerns that the City Engineering Department had over the initial set of plans submitted with
the application.
Comments Received
During the public hearings for this development proposed last year, there was a great deal of
Public input. Some of the concerns raised were regarding traffic and a guarantee that the
tenants of the complex would be 55 or older. To alleviate those concerns ahead of time, the
petitioner provided city staff with a traffic study and a copy of the proposed association
documents upon submittal of the rezoning and plat request. Much of the concern, however,
revolved around traffic onto 64th Avenue. The current development proposal no longer includes
the properties along 64th Avenue and will not have access onto 64th Avenue.
The petitioner held a neighborhood meeting on April 27 and is holding a second neighborhood
informational meeting on May 27. Staff was not in attendance at either of these meetings.
However, we have heard that concerns raised have mostly been about crime or traffic.
Staff has received only a couple of calls to date in response to the public hearing notice,
inquiring about the property. These callers were seeking information about the project, but did
not exhibit any objections. Staff has also received a call from someone interested in buying a
condominium unit.

Staff Recommendation
City Staff recommends approval of this Rezoning ZOA #05-02 and accompanying site plan for

City of Fridley
Planning Comxnission Members,
We aze unable to attend tonight's meeting due to the concurrently scheduled Fridley High
School gradua.tion ceremony.
We wish to convey our adamant opposition to the la.test DeMello apartment building
proposal and request for rezoning.
DeMello's new proposal is in essence very similar to DeMello's ProfitM� proposal that
the City Council overwhelmi.ngly denied last yeaz.
It was widely expressed last year that this loca.tion was NOT an appropria.te place for an
apartment building to be located, and nothing has changed.
Tha.nk you for your

Scott Lund, Mayor
City of Fridley
6431 University Avenue N.E.
Fridley, MN 55432
Dear Mr. Mayor,
I am opposed to the plan to rezone five pazcels into one for the sole purpose of high
density housing. Why doesn't it seem to matter what the citizens of Fridley really want?
Our property is valuable to us and who would want to buy any of the houses that are in
view of the project that is on the agenda. This is nothing more than greed for the
developer and the City of Fridley. Not aIl peopie who retire can afford to live in the units
that are proposed. Does that mean we are to be penalized not once, but twice, because
the value of our home will depreciate. •
When the units are completed and are not rented out, what are your plans for filling the
units? I've seen it happen many times when the units aren't being rented they take
alternate routes such as Section 8, etc. It is a known fact that once anything like that is
built they manage to change the rules of how it can be filled. If the city is so concerned
over tax revenue why didn't the city put in a gold course that was purposed instead of
Spring Brook Nature Center? Now the people of Fridley are paying for the park to stay
open.
Also, how convenient that Demello chose to hold this meeting on a holiday weekend
when most people ha�e plans and will be out of town. His other meetings were received
on the day of the meeting or the day after. It's beginning to look like Fridley will not be
happy until the city is paved from one end to the oiher. There seems to be hidden interest
for sornebody other than the City of Fridley. I guess if it isn't near your property it
doesn't matter what they stick in. City officials are elected into office to oversee what is
best for the city and the citizens who reside there. I for one, along with others, don't
thinks they're doing their job in our best interest.
Sincerely,
� � .

AGENDA ITEM
CITY COUNCIL MEETING JUNE 13, 2005
June 8, 2005
William Burns, City Manager
From: Scott Hickok, Community Development Director
Julie Jones, Planning Coordinator
Rachel Harris, Environmental Planner
Subject: Plat Approval — Pertaining to Plat Request PS #05-03, 1475 and 1485 — 73rd
Avenue N. E.
M-05-45
INTRODUCTION
Tim Van Auken, 1475 73rd Avenue N. E owns both 1475 and 1485 &3rd Avenue and has
requested a re-plat of his property to allow a total of 6 lots, 2 to allow the existing homes to
remain along 73rd and the remaining 4 lots would to allow two sets of two twin homes, or a
total of 4 twin homes that would face a 73'/ extension. The current zoning on this property
is R-3, Multiple Family Residential. Right of way currently exists adjacent to the site and
the developer has proposed dedication of additional right of way to allow ease of access to
the 4 proposed new homes.
ISSUES
Ideally, a plat such as the proposed plat would be on a through street or a cul-de-sac. This
right-of-way is unique. The die was cut years ago when the right- of- way was extended
past the cul-de-sac and the then end of 73'/ Way. A curb, gutter and half of a street were
installed. The surrounding land owners at that time were not interested in subdividing their
properties and as a result the City allowed a half street to extend past a cul-de-sac. The
property owner at 1479 73'/ Avenue and the owner at 1476 Onondaga will keep an "open
mind" about the prospects of a cul-de-sac.
When the project initially came forward, that information was not known. Later, Ms
Marijane Hanson (1476 Onondaga) sent in a letter indicating that she would allow an
easement to be dedicated for the portion of a 30' dead-end street. This would allow
access to her property, as well as, allow the Van Auken Plat to move forward as proposed.
On the morning of June 3, 2005 (morning of the Planning Commission), Jon V. Jackels,
stopped in to discuss his willingness to further evaluate a cul-de-sac. Though
assessments may be a factor, Mr. Jackels believes the best alternative is a cul-de-sac. He
has a large tree on his property that he would like to preserve. As a result he has
suggested a 30' radius, rather than a 40' radius cul-de-sac. Staff is analyzing both design
and cost at this time.
Due to the lateness of this suggested street alternative, staff recommends approval of the
plat with the dead-end design. Staff will continue to work with property owners and if a cul-
de-sac will work, the language will be built into the development agreement. Council can
then consider that alternative and approve or reject it, before the final plat is approve and
filed.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Commission held its public hearing on this item at its June 3, 2005, meeting.
The Commission unanimously recommended approval.
City Council is scheduled to see this item on their agenda at the June 13, 2005 , meeting.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends approval of PS #05-03 with the following stipulations:
City Staff recommend that the following stipulations be placed upon approval of this
request:
1. Petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. Any remaining debris from demolition of existing home and any brush piles on site
shall be removed prior to granting of final plat.
3. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the
issuance of any building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding
properties.
4. The petitioner shall provide proof that any existing wells or individual sewage
treatment systems located on the site are properly capped or removed.
5. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable.
6. Petitioner to pay required park dedication fees of $3,000 prior to issuance of building
perm its.
7. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees, including sanitary sewer
extension.
8. The petitioner shall agree to preserve mature trees to the extent possible. All trees
required to be removed for the new homes shall be marked and approved by City
staff prior to issuance of building permits.
9. Twin homes shall meet all parking requirements.
10. Add appropriate address and marking requirements per Fire Code.
11. The petitioner shall agree to the terms of a development agreement that shall be
prepared by City staff and approved by the City Council simultaneous with their final
plat approval.
- Preliminary Plat #05-03
Timothy VanAuken 1475,1485 73rd Ave NE
The petitioner proposes to subdivide two large lots into four or six lots and build two twin homes
on the northern lots on the property, leaving the existing single family residences on the southern
lots. To provide access, he proposes to extend the dead-end street, and widen it from 17 feet to 30
feet. We, as neighbors who will be directly impacted by the proposal, have specific concerns
which we have addressed to staff and the Planning Commission. Our concerns have not been
adequately addressed to date.
First request to the CounciL•
Resolve the conflict between the current zoning for the property and the desired usage shown in
the 2001 Comprehensive Plan.
• The present zoning for the property is R-3, Multi-family Residential.
• The existing use of the property, as shown in the 2001 Comprehensive Plan, and
historically since initial construction in 1951, is single family residential.
• The 2020 Future Land Use for the parcel, as shown in the 2001 Comprehensive Plan, is
Single Family ResidentiaL
• The same plan also cites the need to identify additional parcels for single family residential
construction, and for move-up housing.
• In their report to the Planning Commission, staff stated, "R3 zoning is inconsistent with the
Comprehensive Plan."
• The west cul-de-sac on 73 %2 Avenue NE, where the proposed lots will face, is zoned Rl
and,contains eight single family residences, each on lots of at least 10,000 square feet.
• The proposed plat specifies twin homes, or single family attached homes, to be placed on
lots of just over 5000 square feet each.
• At the�ublic hearing before the Planning Commission on June l, 2005, staff stated in their
report that the proposal was to create "two new buildable lots on the northern portion of the
property", and that the lots "meet the minimum lot width of 75 feet" and the "minimum lot
size of 10, 000 square feet. " We believe this was deliberately misleading to the
commission and the audience since the proposed lots are in fact 41.25 feet wide and
between 5100 and 5300 square feet each in area.
• At the public hearing on June 1, 2005, the Planning Commission instructed staff to request
that the Council review the R3 zoning. This statement was not included in the staff report
to the City Manager, where it was simply noted that the Comxnission's vote was
unanimous.
• Staff points to the multi-unit apartment building on the property to the west of the subject
parcel in an effort to support the multi-family zoning, but this property is completely
fenced off from access to 73 '/Z Avenue, and has its access solely via 73'� Avenue. The
occupants and traffic have virtually no impact on the properties on 73 %x Avenue.
We request that the Council take action as necessary to bring the zoning into compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan, designating the lots as Rl Single Family Residential. This will meet a
second goal of the pdan, to provide lots for single family residential construction, and preserve the
character of the neighborhood as it presently exists.

Junc 12, 2{}OS
Second request to the Council
Direct staff and the developer to develop their plan to place a cul-de-sac at the end of the extended
city street, instead of the dead end as currently proposed.
• Staff analysis indicates that a cul-de-sac cannot be constructed and still leave buildable lots
for the petitioner, yet the drawing presented to the Planning Commission had one drawn in.
In addition, since the petitioner ovcros the property to the south of the proposed pazcels, he
has the option of altering the plat lines in such a way as to create more equal north-south
division of the property, thereby permitting development of the property including addition
of a proper cul-de-sac. We've brought one example of a cul-de-sac which provides for an
area of 10,000 square feet and 75 foot lot width for both lots. This could even more easily
be done for a single family lot, which requires minimuxn azea of 9,000 square feet.
• The zoning code, at 211.07.12, provides for dead-end or cul-de-sac streets to have "a turn
around at the closed end having property line and curb-line diameters of not less than 100
feet and 80 feet respectively". It is the responsibility of city staff to try to make this use
conform to the ordinance.
• Staff stated at the Planning Commission meeting that a precedent was set as a 125 foot
long, seventeen foot wide "half street" was constructed when a single lot to the north was
subdivided in 1986. No one determixied the history behind that action. That unusual
extension occurred in anticipation of further subdivision by other property owners along
73`a Avenue to the south andlor Onondaga Street to the north. The intent was that the road
would eventually end at the last property developed or go all the way through to intersect
with Hayes Street. The original curbing on the existing cul-de-sac was done with
bituminous in anticipation of future development. Previous development west of Mr.
Va�uken's property prevents the through street option, but a proper cul-de-sae is still
possible.
• Mexx�bers of the Planning Commission, in discussing the proposal, stated they "could not
vote.for this proposal with the dead-end option". In voting to send the matter forwazd to
the City Council, they added that "we strongly urge staff to work out a cul-de-sac option".
This detail was not included in the staff recommendation to the City Manager in
preparation for the council meeting.
• Staff stated they "plan to have suggestions resolveci by the time this reaches council," but
no such plan has been shared by staff with the neighbors who called to address the issue
with staff after the meeting.
If a development proposal goes forward for this properry, we request that the Council direct staff
to work with the petitioner to develop a working cul-de-sac proposal. We oppose extension or
expansion of the existing dead-end street, which will become more problematic with the addition
of several additional driveways having access.

Proiect Summarv
Timothy Van Auken, petitioner, seeks to replat and subdivide the properties located at 1475 73ra
Ave NE and 1485 73rd Ave NE. to allow the creation of two new multi-unit lots. Petitioner plans
to build two new twin homes on each of the newly created parcels. The existing property
contains a residential, single family home on the southern end of each lot with the northern ends
undeveloped. Mr. Van Auken proposes to build the new homes on the northern portion of the
lots at 1475 and 1485 73rd Avenue.
The current zoning is R-3. The petitioner proposes no changes to the current zoning.

Analysis
Per zoning code Section 205.09.3 B(3) for R-3:
•"Lot requirements of this Section are for three (3) or more dwelling units. Two-family
dwellings in this district shall be subject to the R-2 District regulations and one-family
dwellings shall be subject to the R-1 District regulations."
Fridley requires that lots in the R-2 district be a minimum of 75' in width with a minimum total
lot area of 10,000 square feet.
The proposed Lots #1 & 2 will be 82.5' in width and 10,461 square feet in size after the
replat.
• The proposed Lots #3 & 4 will be 82.5' in width and 10,360 square feet in size after the
replat.
The minimum lot area requirement of 10,000 square feet for a two-family dwelling unit has been
met on the proposed plat.
Ariel map of the area surrounding the proposed plat
The newly created home sites would obtain access off of 73 '/z Avenue. A minimum of 25' in
street frontage is provided for access. The petitioner has obtained written agreement (enclosed)
from the property owner at 1476 Onondaga Street to provide an easement to the City for
roadway access across her property. This will allow access to both the proposed lots and will
allow access to 1476 Onondaga, if the owner chooses to subdivide her property in the future.
The proposed new twin homes meet all of the necessary setback requirements. The amount of lot
coverage for the building footprint shown is 25%. Up to 30% would be permitted. All necessary
utility and drainage easements are also provided for on the plat. As subdivided in the proposal
only a twin home would be permitted on each of the four lots, since the lot is too small to stand
independently for other R-3 uses.
Staff Recommendation
City Staff recommends approval of this plat request, with stipulations.
• Does provide additional homeownership opportunities for Fridley residents.
Stipulations
City Staff recommend that the following stipulations be placed upon approval of this request:
1. Petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. Any remaining debris from demolition of existing home and any brush piles on site shall be
removed prior to gr�anting of final plat.
3. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City 's engineering staff prior to the issuance
of any building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding properties.
4. The petitioner shall provide proof that any existing wells or individual sewage treatment
systems located on the site are properly capped or removed.
S. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable.
6. Petitioner to pay required park dedication fees of $3, 000 prior to issuance of building
permits.
7. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees, including sanitary sewer extension.
8. The petitioner shall agr�ee to preserve mature trees to the extent possible. All trees required

AGENDA ITEM
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF
June 13, 2005
To: William W. Burns, City Manager�`��
From: Richard D. Pribyl, Finance Director
Debra A. Skogen, City Clerk
Date: June 8, 2005
Re: First Reading of an Ordinance Proposing to Amend the City Charter and Providing for a
Special Election
Based on the CounciUCommission Survey Questions and the follow up conference meetings the City
Council held with many of the Commission members, a majority felt the City should limit the losses
occurring in the utility funds due to the limita.tion in the City Charter and put the question of removing
water, sanitary and storm sewer rates once again before the voters. Most members in attendance at the
meeting felt that the last election regarding this issue had a question that was too long and complicated
and voters did not understand what they were voting on. We have received numerous comments from
other residents who felt they had misunderstood the question and would have voted differently if they
knew what it was they read.
MN Statutes Chapter 410.12., subd. 5, allows the City Council to propose an amendment by ordinance
subject to Charter Commission review. Given the direction of the City Council and their wish to
amend the Charter, staff drafted an ordinance and reviewed it with the City Attorney. This ordinance
initiates the possibility of a special election this fall and is meant to be a catalyst for discussion.
Should changes be suggested that create simpler and clearer ballot language, this ordinance could
possibly be modified by its second reading.
Because the law appeazs to be silent on the process, it is our interpretation, should the City Council
wish to proceed, that the City Council would hold a first reading of the ordinance and forward the
ordinance to the Charter Commission for their review and recommendation. Once the Charter
Commission has received the ordinance proposing the amendment, the Charter Commission has 60
days to amend or recommend approval or denial (August 12�'). In addition, if the Charter Commission
feels it needs more time to study the proposed amendment, they may adopt a resolution requesting an
additional 90 days to review the proposal (November 10). Once the proposed amendment is returned to
the City Council, they may hold a second reading of the ordinance. If the City Council is interested in
holding a special election this year, they may wish to convey the urgency of that message to the Charter
Commission.
State law requires charter amendments to be placed on the ballot for a general election be forwarded to
the County 12 weeks before the general election, or by August 16, 2005. This would mean the Charter
Commission would want to complete their review and recommendation by August 3`d so that staff
could provide the materials to the City Council by August 8�'.
Staff recommends discussion and first rea.ding of the ordinance proposing an amendment to the city
charter.
105
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING FRIDLEY CITY CHARTER, CHAPTER 7. TAXES,
SECTION 7.03.A. PERTAINING TO UTILITY FEES
SECTION 1.
The Fridley City Council hereby finds the following:
That in 2000, a successful initiative petition proposing an amendment to the Fridley City Charter
requiring voter approval for tax increases beyond specified inflationary adjustments, or to create,
expand or increase various fees was received and placed on the November 7, 2000, municipal
election ballot. The question was approved by the voters by 57% of all people voting in the
election. In an attempt to remedy confusing language contained in the amendment and
potentially dangerous and costly problems for the City, an ad hoc work group met and
formulated an ordinance designed to correct the language contained within the amendment. The
ordinance was reviewed by the City Charter Commission and recommended to the City Council
for adoption. The ordinance was approved April 9, 2001.
That in 2004, due to the City's increased costs in providing the sanitary sewer, storm water and
water sales to its customers, it was found that an unintended consequence to the City had been
created by the amendment by not allowing the City to recover its full costs for providing sanitary
sewer, storm water and water sales. The Charter Commission recommended adoption of an
ordinance removing utility fees from Section 7.03.A. of the City Charter as a defined fee that
could not be increased above 5% or the rate of inflation, whichever is lower. The City Council
adopted the ordinance; however, a successful Referendum Petition requesting withdrawal of the
ordinance was received and placed on the November municipal election ballot. The question
approving the ordinance failed and the ordinance did not become effective.
During the 2006 budget preparation and planning it was determined that sanitary sewer, storm
water and water costs continue to increase due to a number of outside factors beyond the control
of the city. Some of these factors include federal mandates imposing increasingly higher
standards for water and sewer, higher sewage disposal charges imposed by the Metropolitan
Council Environmental Services agency, and ongoing repairs and maintenance of the system's
infrastructure. The City Council sent a Survey to all current city commissioners to query their
thoughts about utility rates. There was overwhelming agreement that the charter should be
amended to allow the city to recover its costs for sanitary sewer, storm water and water sales.
That a proposed charter amendment will help eliminate potential for long term subsidy of
sanitary sewer, storm water and water deficits; provide cost recovery for federal or state
mandates; and maintain all other spending restrictions which requires city council to obtain
direct voter approval for programs that increase costs above 5% or the rate of inflation,
whichever is lower.
SECTION 2.
That Chapter 5, Section 5.09 of the Fridley City Charter states that, "The ways to initiate
amendments to this Charter are set forth in Minnesota Statutes. Minnesota Statutes Chapter
Ordinance No.
Page 3
410.12, subd. 5, allows for the city council to propose an amendment to the voters by ordinance.
This ordinance shall be submitted to the charter commission for review. After the charter
commission completes its review and notifies the city council of its recommendation, the city
council may submit it to the people.
SECTION 3.
That the Fridley City Council hereby ordains that the Fridley City Charter be amended and that a
Special Election be held in the City of Fridley on November 8, 2005, to allow the people to vote on
the following question:
Shall the Fridley City Charter be amended in a manner that removes limits on the rates that may
be charged for the operation and improvement of its water, sewer and storm water systems as
shown below:
O Yes
O No
3. Arry other fees created, or increased beyond the limits set forth in subsection 1, shall require
voter approval as stipulated in subsection 2.
A. For the purposes of this subsection, `fees" includes sales and use tcrxes, utility
charges, (other than water, storm water and sanitary sewer sales), recycling fees, gas
and electric franchise fees and any other fee that produces a tax burden or direction
financial obligation for all property owners and/or residents of Fridley.
B. Shall the Charter, Chapter 7, Section 7.03.8. be changed to read:
For the purposes of this subsection, the term `fees" does not include: Water, storm
water and sanitary sewer sales charges; Parks and Recreation Department
participation charges fees, charges for photo-copying sales of municipal liquor store
products, or civil and criminal fines and other charges collected in cases of restitution
or violation of law or contract. The term 'fees" also does not include rental housing
fees, building permit fees, liquor license fees, the extension or transfer of cable television
service authority to additional service providers for which fees are already being
charged, fees for the operation of junk yards, annual license fees for the operation of
pawn shops and other regulated business, and any other charge for services, including
health and safety related Code enforcement, and other goods, services or materials
routinely provided by the City to its citizens or other members of the public which, by
law, must be limited to the actual cost of the service beingprovided. The term 'fees"
shall not include arry special assessments made under Minnesota Statutes Section 429.
SECTION 4
That the City Clerk shall cause notice of said election to be given to the Anoka County Auditor
within 53 days of said election and that notice of said election be published in the official
newspaper of the City for at least three weeks prior to said election; and
That the City Council ordains that the election shall be held at the usual polling locations for the
state general election, as set forth in Exhibit "A," and that said election shall be held and
Ordinance No.
Page 4
conducted in accordance with the Minnesota State Statutes applicable to municipal elections and
the provisions of the Home Rule Charter; and
That the City Council shall meet within seven days from said election as required by law for the
purpose of canvassing said election and declaring the results thereof.

This request is for $2,SQQ,000 in state funding to predesign, design, construct, furnish, and equip a
redeveloped and expanded interpretive center and surrounding landscaped and natural area at
Springbrook Nature Center, in Fridley, MN. T'he purpose of the SPRING project is to enhance
Springbrook Nature Center as a learning center and as a destination and gathering place for people fram
the metropolitan area, the state, and Fridley, while managing the site's social carrying ca.pacity to allow
sustainable growth in use, as well as preservation of the natural bea.uty and habitat of the site's wildlife
sanctuary.
This project wilt upgrade and eapand diverse environmental educaxion capacity, visitor viewing, and
eshibit space. It will provide e�cpanded community ce(ebration and memorial areas, as well as outdoor
c[assrooms, circular pathwa.qs, wellness azeas, picnic and pavilion space, and e�cpanded parking.
The Springbrook project wiII be a public demonstration of environmental and energy stewardship and
will create the following smart growth and high performance building practice areas:
■ Inspirational indoor theatre/tea.ching/day meeting space (12,OOO+sq ft)
■ Interpr�tive exhibits on environmental responsibility
■ Outdoor classrooms (1 %: acres)
■ Accommor}ations for outdoor community events and gazherings (amphithea.tre, electrical, event
vendor pads, circvlaz pa#h/road, seating, lighting, rest rooms) -
• Memorial garden/plaza (1 %z acres)
• Pavilions, shelters, and picnic azeas (3,000 sq ft--2 acres)
■ Expanded demonstration parking areas that are water permeable and minimize�or eliminate water
run-0ff { 1 �/z acre)
Springbrook Nature Center has been in operation for over 25 yeazs with use increasing exponentially in
thax time to approacimately 180,000 visits per year. The Metropolitan Cvuncil's Regional Parks Policy
Plan 200.5 projects that bv 2030 the number of householcis within a si�cteen minute drive of Springbrook
Nature Center will increase by 25% to 250,000. This project will focus e�cisting and projected high
impact visitor use into the interpretive center building and improved areas azound it which �vill
significantly reduce the overuse impact on Springbrook's 127 acres.
Springbrook Nature Center impacts the local, regional, and sta.te community in diverse azeas. It preserves
open space in an increasingly urban inner ring suburb. It is an amaction f,�r businesses arid families to
locate and live in the north metro area, having an economic impact on properry values. The National
Audubon Society in November 2004 designated Springbrook Nature Center one of eight "Important Bird
.Areas" in Minnesota.. The Blanding's turtle, a state threatened species, is found in Springbrook's
wettands. Improving the quality of Springbrook's impacted wetlands has recently been the focus of a
malti-city six year Clean Water Partnership Grant project. This project improves water quality before the
vc��a.ter leaves Springbrook Nature Center and enters the Mississippi River, just upstream from the St. Paul
and Minneapolis city water intakes.
Schools and other groups from over 3� communities participate in environmental education programming
at Springbrook each year. A TEA-21 funded trail corridor to be constructed during the winter of 200�-
2006 will travel through Springbroak's northern boundary and main entrance. This trail will conneet
Springbrook with a nea.rby mass ttansit hub and e�cisting regiona( bike trails. Guest book signatures in
recent years show visitors from over 300 Minnesota communities, ali 50 states, and 60 foreign cournries.

Award of Contract for Energy Saving Devices
PW05-036
The City has met with and received a proposal from a company called enerTECFi of
Minneapolis, MI`i, to install Redi/Volt Surge Protection to several of our wellhouse facilities. The
devices eliminate electrical surges and transient voltages that reduce the efficiency and can
damage the electric motors powering our well pumps.
As an added advantage, enerTECFi guarantees a minimum of a 20% savings in our energy
costs leading to a 35 month rate of return on our expenditure.
The City of Coon Rapids and several other private corporations have installed these devices and
have given us positive responses on the results they have seen so far.
The total cost of the project is �58,000 and would be paid for from the water fund. We are
guaranteed a minimum savings of �19,400 annually.
Recommend the City Council award a contract on the amount of �58,000 to enerTECl1 of
Minneapolis for the installation of Redi/Volt Surge Protection dev ices to wells 2, 5, 6, 8, 10, ll
and 12.
