9. Consideration of an On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor License Application of Michael J.
White of White Owl Ventures, LCC, d/b/a Main Event Restaurant, Generally
Located at 7820 University Avenue N.E. (Ward 3).
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and
open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Billings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER WOLFE BEING
ABSENT, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:42
P.M.
Richard Pribyl, Finance Director, stated the Main Event restaurant was recently acquired by
White Owl Ventures, LCC. Mr. Michael White of White Owl Ventures has applied for the
intoxicating liquor license. The Public Safety Department has reviewed their request, conducted
a background check, and has found no reason to deny the request. Staff has provided a copy of
the City Code that states all the stipulations that go along with the license in regard to the City
Code. Petitioner has requested the 2 a.m. endorsement with their application. Mr. White does
plan on opening the restaurant under his ownership on March 1. The notice of public hearing
was published in the Fridley Sun Focus on January 5. Final approval for the license is currently
scheduled for February 13.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Pribyl to state what the main stipulations were.
Mr. Pribyl replied the main stipulation she was referring to is the food-to-liquor ratio. The
minimum in regard to food is 40 percent. Staff reviews that on an annual basis to ensure that the
ratio is maintained.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there are any further stipulations related to the 2 a.m.
endorsement.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 5
Mr. Pribyl replied they actually require that twice a year they submit to the City a report on the
food-to-liquor ratio. They want to make sure they are still serving food during the extended
hours.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the new owner had been informed about his responsibilities.
Mr. Pribyl replied the City Clerk reviewed all of the stipulations. They do have a checklist to
make sure all of those elements have been reviewed. That is part of the application.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. White if he was aware of the stipulations related to the
food and liquor license and the ratios.
Michael White, White Owl Ventures, LCC, stated, yes, he was.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER WOLFE BEING
ABSENT, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:48
P.M.
NEW BUSINESS:
5. Resolution in Support of an Application for a Minnesota Lawful Gambling Premise
Permit Application for Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce for Billiard Street
Cafe Located at 7178 University Avenue N.E. (Ward 2).
Councilmember Bolkcom said the Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce is asking for a
gaming permit in this establishment until the end of May but so they do not have to come back in
a very short period of time they are asking that Council actually e�tend it to May 31, 2008.
Mr. Pribyl said they are asking that two periods be considered. The first would be a short period
to May 31, 2006, and then for the full license period after that until May 31, 2008. The reason
for this is because it takes about six weeks for the State to run it through their approval process.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 2006-11. Seconded by
Councilmember Billings.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER WOLFE BEING
ABSENT, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
NEW BUSINESS:
10. First Reading of an Ordinance Amending the Fridley Municipal Code Pertaining to
the Late Night Endorsement of On-Sale Liquor License.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 6
Captain Robert Rewitzer, Police Department, stated this ordinance amends Chapters 602, 603,
and 606. On June 1, 2003, the State of Minnesota enacted legislation permitting local
jurisdictions to extend hours of alcohol sales until 2 a.m. On September 13, 2004, Council
adopted an ordinance amending the City Code allowing liquor licensees to obtain a late-night
license endorsement to sell intoxicating liquor until 2 a.m. The ordinance included a sunset
provision. No late-night license endorsement would be effective after April 30, 2006. This was
to allow for review of any detrimental affects of the 2 a.m. closing. The following licensees
obtained late-night license endorsements: American Legion, Main Event, Sha�, King's
Restaurant, Billiard Street Cafe, Fridley Crab House, and Joe DiMaggio's. In August, 2005, the
American Legion reported they were not able to meet the required food-to-liquor ratio and their
endorsement was dropped. The Main Event and Sha� submitted reports indicating they were
both in compliance. The other licensees did not obtain endorsements until well into 2005 and
have not submitted reports. Analysis of police calls indicate no significant impact attributable to
the 2 a.m. closing times. Overtime expenses from holding the 3 p.m. to 3 a.m. shift showed no
increase over previous years. The Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety noted that accidents had
not necessarily increased but had been displaced to later in the early morning. As many of the
licensees did not obtain an endorsement until well into 2005, data regarding the impact of 2 a.m.
closing times is limited as a result. Staff recommends a first reading of an ordinance continuing
the late-night license endorsement until April 30, 2008. This ordinance merely amends the
sunset date listed in Chapter 602, 603, and 606. Staff will again review any impacts on police
calls for service and will report back to the City Council before the sunset takes affect. The
second reading of this ordinance will occur on February 13, 2006.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated there has been an increase in calls to Sha�, but Captain
Rewitzer felt they were related more to the smoking ban than the 2 a.m. closing.
Captain Rewitzer stated they have seen an increase of activity at Sha�. They believe the
majority is a result of the smoking ban in Minneapolis that has caused people to seek
entertainment options outside of Minneapolis. The closest venue is Sha�. That, coupled with
the fact that they have an increased police presence there, has resulted in a higher number of calls
for service and increased activity. They do not believe it is necessarily attributable to the 2 a.m.
closing.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to waive the reading of the ordinance and adopt the
ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, COUNCILMEMBER WOLFE BEING
ABSENT, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
11. First Reading of an Ordinance Creating Chapter 205.32 0-7 of the Fridley City
Code Pertaining to Shoreland Overlay District.
Julie Jones, Planning Coordinator, stated the primary question seems to be is the City really
required to have a shoreland ordinance in place. They received a response from the DNR and the
Metropolitan Council, and the answer is yes. State Statutes do require all cities that have
shoreland within their boundaries to adopt shoreland ordinances. This has been a low priority
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 7
because we are a fully-developed community. The DNR has confirmed that eventually they are
going to enforce this and all cities are going to need to adopt an ordinance. It looks like they are
even considering putting additional conditions and requirements in place for cities that do not
have shoreland ordinances.
Ms. Jones said that during the public hearing on this ordinance, it was clear to staff that there
was a lack of knowledge among property owners on shoreland property. She wanted to clarify
that this shoreland overlay district is strictly about building setbacks and shoreland property and
strictly about lot coverage and defining that lot coverage differently.
Mr. Jones stated the DNR has selected the following water bodies: the Mississippi River, the
wetlands at Springbrook Nature Center, Spring Lake, Locke Lake, Moore Lake, Harris Pond,
Farr Lake, Rice Creek, Stoneybrook Creek, Springbrook Creek, Norton Creek, and Oakland
Creek They have made some modifications to the City's shoreland map. As a result of some of
the negotiations they have had with the DNR, they have removed some areas that were on the
map at the public hearing as noted. There is an area along the river in the Riverview Heights
neighborhood. That area has been taken out because there is a roadway in between the river and
the properties there. In the beginning, the DNR said they had to include those, but they have
now worked it out with them that we are making our shoreline overlay definition to be only first
tier and only those that directly abut a waterway. There are some other areas that come off of
Farr Lake where there is parkland between the private lot and the water body, so some of those
have been taken out as well. There are a few properties on Rice Creek where there is park land
between them so those are no longer included. As a result, they have actually reduced the
number of properties now that are in the shoreland overlay. Some areas were taken out because
that part of the creek was not natural anymore. It was piped.
Ms. Jones said she also wanted to discuss the existing overlays. There is a Critical Area
Overlay. The entire area of the City from East River Road to the river is in the Critical Area
Overlay. In this overlay district, the setback requirements they are talking about already exist.
They already cannot build any closer than 100 feet to the water. There is also Overlay District
One, the Creek and River Overlay District, which is along the Mississippi River, along Locke
Lake, along Rice Creek, and around Moore Lake. The properties in this district can build
nothing except maybe a parking lot in the floodway. The boundary is designated by FEMA.
They actually have more restrictions on them than what will be in the shoreland ordinance. They
took a count and there are actually only 73 properties out of the 390 that are now in the
Shoreland Overlay which are not already restricted by other overlay district regulations. When
they started this back in the late 80's there were going to be over 900 properties that were going
to have to be included in the Shoreland Overlay according to the true definition of "shoreland" in
the state guidelines. They have now narrowed that down to first tier and only first tier directly
abutting the waterway.
Ms. Jones stated the DNR has granted the City a great deal of flexibility in the proposed overlay,
primarily in the boundaries of the overlay district. The DNR has said the City can make it
properties that directly abut the waterway. Another area of flexibility the DNR has granted the
City is exceeding the 25 percent lot coverage requirement which is the maximum the State
guidelines allow. Staff has provided them sample properties from each of the water bodies that
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 8
are included in this overlay and convinced the DNR that if the City were to write an ordinance
with the 25 percent overlay, it would be creating a tremendous amount of non-conforming
properties. The DNR agreed that is something they did not want to do. They also gave us
flexibility in the height requirements. They have a height requirement of no higher than 25 feet.
Most of our properties that are in the proposed Shoreland Overlay are R-1 properties and so they
had a 30-foot height requirement. Staff argued with the State that they should be allowed to
maintain that requirement.
Ms. Jones stated another area that staff got flexibility on was the reclassification of Farr Lake.
Because Farr Lake had been classified as a natural environment lake that meant the setback
requirement was 150 feet. This would have made every single property around Farr Lake non-
conforming. Staff asked them to look back on their records and they were able to confirm that
Farr Lake really was not a natural environment lake, so it now only has a 50-foot setback
requirement.
Ms. Jones stated the one thing they did not get from the DNR is a 50 foot setback on Moore
Lake. Actually, for recreational lakes such as Moore Lake, it is a 75-foot requirement. The
DNR stressed they wanted to keep it at that. There are really only three properties around Moore
Lake that do not meet the 75-foot setback requirement. Staff agreed with the DNR it would
really be in the best interests for those living around Moore Lake to maintain the existing setback
line.
Ms. Jones stated there are some wording changes in the ordinance based on comments from the
public hearing. The DNR required that they add a shoreline definition. They moved Farr Lake
to the new classification and corrected the natural environment and recreational development
lake setbacks. The main thing they changed was the very last section, the non-conformity
section. They worked with the City Attorney and reworded that section. One thing she wanted
to clarify for people affected by the ordinance is that even though these requirements are in
place, they could apply to the City for a variance for both the setback requirements and the lot
coverage requirements. They would have to provide a hardship statement and provide the City
information with some unique circumstance they have.
Ms. Jones said an earlier draft of this ordinance was reviewed by the Environmental Quality and
Energy Commission. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on the proposed
ordinance on November 2 and passed the draft ordinance unanimously. The City Council held a
public hearing on this item on November 21. Staff is confident that they have negotiated the best
option they can get for the City in shoreland requirements with the DNR. The DNR did indicate
that there is no guarantee they could grant this flexibility again in the future. The DNR warned
that without a shoreland ordinance, it is very possible the City could have future restrictions
placed on it regarding future development or redevelopment. Staff recommends that they
proceed with the first reading. The second reading would be held on February 13, 2006.
Councilmember Billings asked if it only applies to first tier properties.
Ms. Jones replied that is correct.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 9
Councilmember Barnette asked if he had a home on the Mississippi River that was currently
within 50 feet of the water and it burned down, could he rebuild on the same footprint.
Ms. Jones replied, yes.
Councilmember Barnette said the DNR is saying you better do it now, because there might be
tougher restrictions later.
Ms. Jones stated there were a number of cities in the Rice Creek Watershed District that did not
have shoreland ordinances in place. The value of the shoreland along Rice Creek is major thing
for the City.
Councilmember Bolkcom said staff did a great job in negotiating on this matter, but she did not
think if they do not pass this, the DNR may have stricter regulations.
Fritz Knaak, City Attorney, said they could. Some of what has been negotiated in this
particular case are actually negotiations for less restricted standards than their standard
ordinance. They can impose stricter standards. They cannot be unreasonable and do anything
arbitrary and capricious, but they have been applying the standard statewide now actually for
some years.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there is something in this ordinance that states she now has
to have her gutters go on to a grassy area.
Ms. Jones replied what this section is saying is that if you want to exceed the 35 percent lot
coverage area, it is spelling out some things that you could do that would allow you a variance to
do that. That is what the reference to down spouts and landscape areas is about.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the three people on Moore Lake who are non-conforming
can rebuild as long as it is in the same spot.
Ms. Jones replied as long as they do not expand the footprint or non-conformity.
Mayor Lund asked about the definition of shoreland and the 1,000 feet from the normal high
water mark requirement.
Ms. Jones replied this is not to be confused with setback This is what the State in their
guidelines defines as shoreland. The 1,000 feet from the ordinary high-water mark is the second
tier. The first tier is the 300 feet within the ordinary high-water mark So when they talked
about first tier and second tier in the DNR requirements, it is in reference to this definition.
Mayor Lund stated he just had some concerns that this definition now puts this into a category
of further restriction at some later date because they have defined 1,000 feet.
Ms. Jones replied she was concerned about it, too, and contacted Mr. Knaak to make sure it was
okay.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 10
Mayor Lund asked if the DNR could become more restrictive at a later date.
Ms. Jones replied if the DNR did, it would be statewide.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated this is one of the key reasons this has
been in the works for 16 years. Their definition needs to be in there in order to be consistent
with all the other shoreland ordinances that have been adopted throughout the state. All of the
negotiation that we have talked about tonight is what sets us apart from that definition. The
ordinance really set us apart from that two-tier standard by just having one tier and, in some
cases, as described less than a tier such as in Riverview Heights where they have allowed us just
to take that entire strip out and not consider that part of the shoreland. We have really come a
long way from their standard definition. Staff felt that without the definition, the ordinance the
DNR was approving for us would fall far short because it is not consistent with every other
definition out there.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked where that said that in the ordinance.
Mr. Hickok replied every other specification in the ordinance talks specifically about the
setbacks or the lot coverages or the things that apply specifically to the Fridley ordinance. It
starts off at the consistent place where the State has started with every other community but from
that point forward, our ordinance defines how we differ from the standards that are out there.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the 100 foot setback.
Mr. Hickok stated Ms. Jones was describing what a non-conformity is.
Mayor Lund said it is his understanding that the DNR has their restrictions. He asked what
"flowage" meant.
Mr. Hickok replied it is a term that is most often used with things like reservoirs where there is a
flowage or current through a larger body of water. It is not a typical stream or creek It is a
current that runs through and it may be man-made or a natural feature, but is a current probably
with a creek or river coming out but a current that runs through a larger lake area. Probably not
all that different than Locke Lake but on a much bigger scale.
Mayor Lund commented it seems we are going backwards upstream. His concern is that we are
not so overly restrictive so the property owners along this overlay district cannot expand or add
onto their home. That would be a detriment or loss of potential value for those landowners.
Mr. Hickok said this is a state law. We have an obligation to live by the law, but we have taken
the time to figure how to do it in the best way possible.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked for a further explanation of "flowage" before the second
reading.

ordinance on first reading. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
12. Resolution Approving a Plat, P.S. #03-08, Town Center, by Town Center
Development, for the Purpose of Creating Two New Parcels from 1282 Mississippi
Street, 6490 Central Avenue and the Vacant Lot South of Sandee's Restaurant
(Ward 2).
13. Approve Development Agreement between the City of Fridley and Town Center
Development, Pursuant to Final Plat, P.S. #03-08, Generally Located at 1282
Mississippi Street and 6490 Central Avenue N.E. (Ward 2).
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated Town Center Development is located
in the southwest quadrant of Mississippi and Old Central. This development at this point has
only been approved as a preliminary plat. It was considered by the Planning Commission in
November, 2003. Commission and staff recommended approval with stipulations at that time.
Subsequent to that, the developer had a neighborhood meeting and redesigned the building based
on concerns that a four-story building in the neighborhood would be too much of an imposition
and really change the character of the neighborhood too much. At that time they did modify the
building. It was originally a four-story, 55-unit building. They reduced it one story, reduced it
one unit; and it is now a three-story, 54-unit building. On January 5, 2004, Council approved the
preliminary plat and added two additional stipulations which would make 26 stipulations on the
proj ect. After the preliminary plat approval, there were several e�tensions that were granted six
months at a time.
Mr. Hickok said it is required that a preliminary plat come back in its final plat form within six
months of preliminary plat approval. If that cannot happen, the developer needs to ask for an
extension. There were some matters that were before the Anoka County Court for consideration
that caused the developer to be delayed in getting the final plat. They did not want to move
ahead with the final plat with some uncertainty about the disposition of these other items. This
has now been resolved and they have come back in within their last extension window. They
have the mylars for the project and a negotiated development agreement between staff and
developer is ready for approval. One additional stipulation has been added. It mandates a cap
of 5 percent rental at any one time. This has come as a product of subsequent discussions they
have had with the developer. They have an investment group that is interested and staff wanted
to make certain in writing that it is clear that this is to be a primarily owner-occupied building
with, if necessary, a small percentage of rental. Oftentimes the estate of a family may need to
hold a property for a period of time. Staff recommends approval of the final plat and the
development agreement.
Councilmember Billings asked if Sandee's Restaurant was part of this plat.
Mr. Hickok said it was.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 12
Councilmember Billings stated it has been closed for quite a while for remodeling. He
understands there were some problems.
Mr. Hickok said they started on the modifications before having a plan for staff to review and
without necessary permits and inspections.
Councilmember Billings asked if they had something to worry about here in terms of this
developer.
Mr. Hickok said they have had discussions about this with the developer. The inspection staff
has a very good handle on this and will not let them move ahead without having the proper steps
in place.
Councilmember Billings asked if the Anoka County Health Department had some rules and
regulations about getting prior approval of equipment before it is placed in a restaurant.
Mr. Hickok replied, yes, and that is a bit perplexing to him because the Anoka County Health
Department was in earlier than the City was the did not say anything. The have talked to them
about the problem.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they can legally include Stipulation No. 27.
Fritz Knaak, City Attorney, said they could.
Councilmember Wolfe stated he thought he made himself clear in the beginning on how he
stood on the whole deal. As councilmembers have stated before, any time there are, for example,
10 stipulations, there is a red flag. He sees 27 here, so he has concerns. There are a lot of
stipulations.
Mayor Lund asked the petitioner if he had any problems with the added stipulation or the
change to Stipulation No. 1.
Mr. Whinnery, Town Center Development, stated the added stipulation has been incorporated
into the bylaws.
Mayor Lund asked about the problem with Sandee's Restaurant.
Mr. Whinnery said it did get off on the wrong foot, but they have worked it out.
Councilmember Barnette asked about the relocation of the Tamarisk building.
Mr. Whinnery stated they are still trying to find a mover.
MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to adopt Resolution 2006-12 with the following twenty-

MOTION CARRIED ON 4 TO 1 VOTE.
14. Special Use Permit Request, SP #06-01, by RSP Architects for Totino-Grace High
School, to Allow an Existing Private School to Exist as a Special Use in an R-1,
Single Family Zoning District, Generally Located at 1350 Gardena Avenue N.E.
(Ward 2).
15. Variance Request, VAR #06-01, by RSP Architects for Totino-Grace High School, to
Increase the Height of a Portion of the School Building from 30 Feet to 48 Feet for
the Renovation of the School Auditorium, Generally Located at 1350 Gardena
Avenue N.E. (Ward 2).
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 16
Councilmember Billings asked if they have an application that is signed by the fee owner of the
property or a letter from the fee owner agreeing to the request.
Julie Jones, Planning Coordinator, replied the school signed off on both requests. She stated, in
regards to the special use request, Steve Maurelli of RSP Architects is seeking a special use
permit to allow an existing private school as a special use in an R-1 Single Family zoning district
located at 1350 Gardena Avenue. The private school has been in existence at this location since
the school was constructed in 1965. However, a special use permit has never been obtained for
the school as a whole. This special use permit request is coming to the City at this time because
the school is seeking a variance and building permit to renovate the school auditorium. The
petitioner is also seeking a variance request to increase the maximum height of a portion of the
school building from 30 feet as allowed in the R-1 district to 48 feet to the midspan of the roof
height. The variance request is being requested to allow the renovation of the school auditorium.
A summary of the hardship statement is as follows:
Totino-Grace is currently planning for a renovation within their existing
auditorium space. The footprint for the building will not change. The renovation
is primarily increasing the height of the space in order to accommodate
production catwalks, increase proscenium opening, and a fly loft over the stage.
The variance requested is for only a specific portion of the existing school
building. The new theater space is 215 feet from the north property line and 318
feet from the east property line, so it should have no shadowing affect on the
adjacent houses. We also feel the distance from the streets will result in the added
height having no perceived effect on the spatial character of either street.
Ms. Jones said the school was constructed in 1965 with an addition constructed in 1977. Totino-
Grace is a co-educational Catholic high school which provides education to approximately 1,020
children, grades 9 through 12. In 2003, the City Council approved a variance request for the
subj ect property to reduce the width of parking stalls from 10 feet to 9 feet to allow an expansion
of their parking lot. That expansion added an additiona170 parking stalls. In 1999, a special use
permit was issued for the property to allow the school to upgrade the existing track and field
facility. Although a special use permit was approved in 1999, it was specifically for the track
and field facility, not for the school as a whole. Private schools are a permitted special use in the
R-1 Single Family zoning district subject to stipulations. Since the existing school does not have
a special use permit, the petitioner is requesting one at this time. The property complies with all
setback and lot coverage requirements. In addition to the special use permit request, the
petitioner is also seeking a variance to increase the height of the existing auditorium. The
auditorium is located in the center of the existing school building.
Ms. Jones stated the new auditorium space is 215 feet from the north property line which is
Gardena Avenue and 318 feet from the east property line. The ground elevation of the square
building is 6 feet lower than Gardena Avenue and Arthur Street and both of the line of sight
views will be impacted by the increase in the auditorium roof height less than for the typical
home built closer to the street.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 17
Ms. Jones stated petitioner said that lowering the stage floor is not feasible. All of the existing
school buildings are slab on grade, and all of the spaces adj acent to the auditorium are the same
elevation as the auditorium. Both the stage and the auditorium entries are flush with the adjacent
floors. In order to provide flexibility and maintain safe egress, the petitioner states they cannot
lower the stage floor and solve their need to have additional fly space over the stage. The City
Code requires a 35-foot maximum height in the R-1 Single Family zoning district. The
petitioner is seeking to increase that height requirement to 48 feet but only in the location of the
auditorium within the school building complex. This variance would allow the renovation of the
school auditorium by increasing the height and increasing the number of seats. The building
footprint will not change. The reason for the height increase is to create a functional theater in
which theatrical, choir, and orchestra productions can be better produced. They are only
bringing back the seats they have lost over the years with expansions of the stage.
Ms. Jones stated the only concern staff has taken a look at is parking requirements. Currently
Totino-Grace has 366 parking stalls. Staff has looked at the parking requirements for all of the
different uses of parts of the buildings and determined that the property does fall short of ineeting
the Code requirements by approximately 8 parking stalls. Therefore, staff is recommending that
if the building's square footage is expanded in any way in the future, that the building would
need to come into compliance with the parking requirements. That is one of the proposed
stipulations.
Ms. Jones stated the Planning Commission had a public hearing on the special use permit on
January 4. There was unanimous recommendation for approval with six stipulations. The
Appeals Commission held a public hearing regarding the variance request for Totino-Grace on
January 11 and also unanimously recommended approval of the request with six stipulations.
Staff concurs with the Planning Commission's recommendation regarding approval of the
special use permit request with six stipulations. Staff also concurs with the Appeals Commission
recommendation for approval of the variance request with six stipulations. The building height
will have little visual impact to the residential character of the neighborhood due to the
building's distance from the street. The added height request is a reasonable request that modern
theater production requires.
Councilmember Barnette asked if letters were sent out to all the neighbors within 350 feet as
required.
Ms. Jones said they were.
Councilmember Barnette asked if they got any reaction from any of the neighbors regarding
this request.
Ms. Jones said they had one call somewhat opposed and one call strongly supporting the proj ect.
Councilmember Wolfe said what he thought was different is this being built in the middle of a
building that is already there.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 18
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she was a little concerned about the parking.
Ms. Jones replied because they are not expanding the footprint of the buildings, staff did not
believe they were justified in asking them to provide additional parking at this time. In addition,
they are not expanding the number of seats beyond what they had when the auditorium was
originally built. They originally may have had more than the 320 seats they are restoring it to.
The school has indicated that it is highly unusual for that space to be used at the same time
classes are in session.
Councilmember Bolkcom commented this would attract more kids to the school.
Mr. Hickok said they have been very consistent with their student population size. This project
is not to increase the size of their student population. It is to bring their productions into more of
a modern standard for high school. He said he wanted to comment on the parking issue because
he appreciates that Council sometimes gets calls that they do not hear about, but they really have
not had any complaint except the call that Ms. Jones received that was somewhat against this. It
was more about the parking than about the building. They did do quite an analysis on this, and
breaking it down to the formula that is spelled out in the City Code, it is 8 stalls short of being
what it should. They had a neighborhood meeting a few years ago and staff talked with residents
about the potential of signing both sides of some streets with No Parking signs, and interestingly
enough, people who lived around there did not see the parking in the area to be enough of an
issue that they would want their streets to be posted with No Parking signs. Totino did respond
by building a new 80-stall parking lot off Gardena to relieve some of the on-street parking.
Steve Maurelli, RSP Architects, made a presentation showing drawings of the school and
proposed renovation.
Brother Milton Barker, President of Totino-Grace, stated he wanted to address the issue of a
parking ramp and where that came from. Eight years ago, when they did a comprehensive
master plan for their facilities, it was their desire to build a performing arts and worship space
that would seat their entire student body plus faculty staff--about 1,200 people--and at the same
time build a new field house that would include both the performance gymnasium area and
practice gyms. They did do a plot and footprint of that plan working with people in the City and
looked at the possibility of building a ramp because part of the construction would take up
existing parking. In sending that plan to an estimator, the cost at that time was $21 million.
They could not afford to spend that amount of money. They are basically a tuition-driven
school and they knew they would have to change their mission. They would no longer be
operating at a tuition of about $8,000 but would be operating at a tuition like the most elite prep
schools in the Twin Cities that are $17,000 to $18,000 and they could not do that. So they
abandoned that plan and looked instead at trying to redo the interior facility. That was the only
time they ever talked about a parking ramp. In order to answer concerns of the City, they did
add an additiona124 parking spaces when they did their Totino field renovation and then in 2003
they added an additiona170 spaces as part of a major parking program. It is interesting to look at
the parking situation because in reality Gardena Avenue is signed one side of the street. It is not
signed on the side of the street adjacent to their property. Arthur Street is also signed in the
residential area from Gardena to Royal Oaks. The Nature Center is also signed so the parking
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 19
that is available for their students is immediately adjacent to their property line on Matterhorn,
Gardena, and Arthur. In general that is where students park On an unusual day, that parking
may extend to Royal Oaks Court. He said this project will make their facility comparable to
other schools. including Mounds View, Spring Lake Park, Fridley, and several other private
schools.
Mayor Lund commented it seems every time an issue with Totino-Grace comes up the parking
and traffic is talked about.
Brother Barker said when they get a complaint, they act on it immediately. If it is during the
school day, a dean of students goes to the area, finds out who owns the car, comes back to the
building, finds the student, tells them to remove the car, assigns a disciplinary sanction, and
looks at revoking parking privileges.

16. Variance Request, VAR #06-02, by Bruce Odlaug for the Rice Creek Townhomes, to
Reduce the Side Yard Setback from 15 Feet to 13.2 Feet to Recognize an Existing
Non-Conforming Setback, Generally Located at 1560 — 69t'' Avenue N.E. (Ward 2).
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated Bruce Odlaug of the Lindquist &
Vennum firm represents the owner of the Rice Creek Townhomes. They are seeking a variance
to reduce the side yard setback from 15 feet to 13.2 feet to recognize an existing non-conforming
setback of the townhome buildings on the south side of the development. The property owner
would like to refinance the property, and the lenders are requiring variances to recognize any
non-conformities or deficiencies as an assurance to their investment. Staff informed petitioner
that the City is changing the City Code to match the State statute, but petitioner is interested in
having this approached as a variance. The developer donated a portion of land to the south for
use as a park and to essentially add requested green space to the development. However, the
donation and subsequent requirements created non-conforming status on the side yard.
Mr. Hickok said the subject property is located on 69th Avenue, east of Central, and zoned R-3,
Multi-Family Residential. According to building permit records on September 30, 1969, the City
entered into an agreement with Carl Hipp, the former fee owner of the subj ect parcel, to rezone
the property from R-1, Single Family, to R-3, Multi-Family, based on Mr. Hipp conveying to the
City a portion of the property for a City park and additional portion of land for highway and
utility right-of-way. Mr. Hipp conveyed the subject property to the Rice Creek developers who
in turn complied with the agreement and deeded to the City the portion of the land of the park
and dedicated the easement that was required. As a result of the agreement, a City park was
created south of the subject property. It is common practice for any new development to either
deed land to the City or pay park dedication fees. The subj ect property was then developed in
1972 consisting of 141-unit townhome development. There are 27 four, five and six unit
buildings located on the property and all of the 141 units are three-bedrooms which is a rarity in
the marketplace. There are 154 garage stalls and 158 hard surface parking stalls for a total of
309 parking spaces. City Code requires an interior side yard setback of 15 feet for all buildings
under 35 feet in height in the R-3 district. Subject property is bordered by Anoka Street, 69tn
Avenue, and Stinson Boulevard. City Code requires that the narrow street frontage be
considered a front yard; therefore, Stinson Avenue is considered the front yard of the
development. The petitioner is seeking to recognize the existing side yard setback on the south
side of the development for the buildings located at 1578-88 68th Avenue, 1620-1630 68tn
Avenue, and 1660-70 68th Avenue. The closest point of the building is 13.2 feet from the
property line.
Mr. Hickok stated petitioner is seeking a variance from 15 to 13.2 feet. Granting this variance
will simply recognize the existing non-conforming setback The Appeals Commission held its
public hearing on January 11 and unanimously recommended approval and there were no
stipulations recommended. Staff recommends approval consistent with the Appeals
Commission. There was a parking variance that came in initially with this request. There was
much discussion and analysis done by staff. At the time this building was built, there was an 18-
month period whereby the City would come back and tell them whether additional parking
would be required. They were a number of stalls short and, at that time, if the City deemed it
necessary, they would build the parking. Unfortunately it looks from the record as though that
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 21
got lost in the shuffle. Today, they can say in all certainty that there is not enough parking. The
Fire Marshall has indicated they would have difficulties getting fire trucks there. The developer
is now looking at putting in the parking as required. They have asked that the recognition of the
parking shortage be delayed and have waived the 60 days. They said they would like to analyze
the situation. They may just prefer to put in the parking as opposed to asking for a variance. At
this time, they are only considering the side yard setback from 15 to 13.2 feet.
Councilmember Wolfe said the parking issue would be taken care of later.
Mr. Hickok said they will bring this back to them as a variance if that is what the final
resolution is. Petitioner has indicated a very strong interest and willingness to put in the parking.
They will keep them posted.
Councilmember Billings stated he would like to have the representative acknowledge the 60-
day waiver.
Jeff McNaught, Lindquist & Vennum, stated, yes, they acknowledge the waiver of the 60-day
requirement. The reason why the variance is the desired mechanism here is because the lender
for the refinancing of this property is concerned that in the event of a catastrophic type of
destruction of the property that would destroy more than 50 percent of it, the rebuilding under
the non-conformity statute would not apply to them. They wanted to make they had the
variance. The parking issue is being addressed and they have some engineers that are looking at
this as to what can be done in order to expand it. He thought they needed 44 spots.
MOTION by Councilmember Wolfe to approve Variance Request, VAR #06-02, by Bruce
Odlaug for Rice Creek Townhomes. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to divide the motion, as the Variance Request has two

FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 22
17. Resolution by the City of Fridley Supporting the Statutory Referendum
Requirement for any County-Wide Sales Tax that may be Levied for a Vikings
Stadium in Anoka County.
Councilmember Wolfe stated he put this on the agenda as he was asked a number of times to do
so and he is interested in hearing what needs to be said. His understanding is there is a group of
people who would like to see people not have a say in the sales tax. He is a firm believer that
people should have a say in what is being paid for. He thinks it should come to a vote. He
thinks if it goes to a referendum, it will not pass and he feels they are trying to skirt around that
issue.
Councilmember Barnette asked the City Attorney if there is a State law on this.
Fritz Knaak, City Attorney, replied said there is. The law cited in the resolution does require
that if a municipality under special legislation is allowed to adopt a sales tax, that it must conduct
a referendum.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if there are ways around that.
Mr. Knaak said he does not know what Anoka County is doing or not doing. He knows that it
is not uncommon when special legislation is sought for something to get a specific exclusion.
Councilmember Barnette asked who can make that exception.
Mr. Knaak replied the State legislature could.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if Anoka County has asked them whether they support their
endeavors at this point.
William Burns, City Manager, replied, no, not to his knowledge.
Councilmember Billings asked if they needed to go to the legislature for this.
Mr. Knaak said he believed they would have to go to the legislature to get that authority.
Councilmember Billings stated so whatever they do, they need to go to the legislature.
Mr. Knaak replied, yes, that is correct.
Councilmember Billings stated we have 201 state legislators that are going to hold hearings on
this and have committee meetings on it. He has a problem with the language in the resolution
that says the City Council was the representative government body of the residents of the City of
Fridley. They are elected to run and operate the City. That does not mean that they are the
people who are elected to make a decision on all issues that other levels of government are
supposed to be dealing with. There are a number of issues that are dealt with by other levels of
government that are also duly elected to represent the population of the City of Fridley. We have
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 23
four school districts in this City and two state senators. We have three legislators in the House of
Representatives. We have a congressman and two United States senators, and two county
commissioners, all of whom are making decisions every day about what is happening to people
within the City of Fridley and beyond the borders of the City of Fridley. He said the City
Council's mission is not to speak for the citizens of Fridley on issues that relate to the duties of
these other elected officials. He said they all have their opinions, but there is nothing that
authorizes them to take away the ability of the other residents of this City to be able to express
their opinion on this issue. He thinks every citizen of Fridley, whether a resident or business,
should be contacting those elected officials who are elected to represent them on this issue to
take action and to express their point of view. He presented an alternative resolution.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the Anoka County commissioners had been informed of the
resolution on their agenda.
Dr. Burns replied he had a brief conversation with Commissioner Kodiak about a week and a
half ago letting him know this was a possibility.
Ken Christianson, 7525 Fourth Street NE, asked if Councilmember Wolfe presented the
resolution to the City Council.
Mayor Lund replied there was a resolution on the agenda.
Mr. Christianson asked whether the resolution has to be withdrawn or voted up or down before
Councilmember Billings' resolution is presented.
Mayor Lund replied they will take a look at both of them.
Mr. Christianson stated he is not against the stadium but he is for the people of Fridley getting
to vote on it.
Ron Holch, 6599 Hokah Drive, Lino Lakes, stated he started the Taxpayers Against the Anoka
County Vikings Stadium. He talked about the statute for taxes.
Councilmember Billings stated what is before them is the question of whether or not they are
the representatives that actually even have the right to make a statement on behalf of the
thousands of citizens in the City of Fridley.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings not to take any more public comment. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
Councilmember Barnette stated he had some very strong feelings about the resolution. He
cannot speak for all the people in Fridley. He thinks a lot of this is redundant, that there is
already a State law that gives us all the right to vote on this. He suggested it would be better to
get a petition and go to the state representatives. They are the only ones that can change this law.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 24
Councilmember Bolkcom stated she would like to hear what people have to say but she would
like the side comments taken away.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to remove his motion not to take any more public
comment. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
Dann Dobson, Executive Director of the No Stadium Tax Coalition, stated the exact language of
the State legislation that they are talking about is 297A.99. It says the imposition of a local sales
is subject to approval by voters of the political subdivision in a general election. The Anoka
County Board has passed a resolution to request that Anoka County be exempted from this law.
No other municipality has ever been exempted from this. The legislature in 1999 put this in
place to give the voters a say in this kind of situation. It is very vague in the last line of the
legislation and there is no language saying voters shall not be allowed to vote in a referendum. It
is very clear — all it says is the requirements of 297A.99 do not apply to any tax imposed under
this subdivision. So they are trying to do this under the ostentation of very obscure language.
What Anoka County is doing is trying to remove the voters' say. The Council will
counterbalance at the legislature what the Anoka County Board is doing.
Councilmember Barnette asked if he had been at an Anoka County Commissioners' meeting to
make this point.
Mr. Dobson said they have never held a public meeting or hearing.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the process.
Mr. Dobson said he thought there were less than 25 County commissioners and state
representatives. What would happen at the legislature is the vast majority, over 90 percent of the
people who would be voting on this proposed tax, would not be affected, so there would be no
reason for them not to vote for this. It has been drafted in such a way so it penalizes only the
residents in Anoka County.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Dobson if he has actually contacted his State
representatives.
Mr. Dobson replied not for this one but he has been talking for six years up at the legislature
about the Twins legislation. He has spoken to a number of Anoka County representatives about
this.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked how they responded.
Mr. Dobson replied most of them are uniformly opposed to the tax and debating the referendum.
However, there is a real concern what people out-state will do
Bruce Pomerane, 5687 West Bavarian Pass, stated as a whole, the Anoka County
Commissioners are not arguing a general principle. They are not doing this for anything that
normally the government is required to provide.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 25
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Pomerane how much the sales tax was expected to cost the
average taxpayer.
Mr. Pomerane said they are $45 per person per capita. That is per capita based on a 300,000
population. That includes children. This will eventually cost every Anoka County resident, $1
billion to $1.25 billion dollars because of the interest over 30 years it would take off these bonds.
This will affect four generations.
Councilmember Billings asked Mr. Pomerane if he was at Anoka County for the truth in
taxation hearing regarding the amount his property taxes were going to go up this year.
Mr. Pomerane said he was not. He was fine with the taxes up to this point. He is opposed to
taxes going to private industry as a principle.
Marsha Etticher, 6870 Seventh Street NE, stated she would appreciate it if Council would look
at this referendum. She respectfully disagrees with Councilmember Billings. She is neither for
nor against the stadium being built, but she thinks that people do have a right to make a decision.
She requests that the City Council look at how this will affect Fridley residents. They are close
to other counties to do their shopping to avoid the additional sales tax. It could impact Anoka
County and the City of Fridley.
Councilmember Barnette asked is she agreed that this is in the hands of the state legislators.
Ms. Etticher said she agrees, but to her the state legislators are passing it to Anoka County and
its residents. If they increased the sales tax on a state level, everybody in the state would be
paying for it. She believe that everyone benefits by having the team here.
Councilmember Barnette asked is this should be directed at the state legislators.
Ms. Etticher replied it should be, but none of them are willing to step forward. None of them are
willing at this point to step forward and put their votes on line.
Councilmember Wolfe said he feels that the people here would like them to help them by
letting the representatives who represent our City know that they support the people.
Joe Capra stated he agreed with Councilmember Wolfe. All they are asking for is help.
Joy Spencer, 6020 McKinney Street NE, mentioned that KSTP had a camera man here and that
is not because they are a nobody. It will be recorded in the news either that they supported the
idea of the referendum or they did not. She said she thinks the support of the idea of people
voting on it is important.
Connie Metcalf, 860 West Moore Lake Drive, stated the media is not going to decide how
anyone is going to vote. Council does represent the City of Fridley and difficulties in speaking
with their legislators have been brought up--many of them have made up their minds. All they
are concerned about is the right to vote, the right for representation. She cannot imagine the
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 23, 2006 PAGE 26
State legislators voting against the referendum. The citizens have a right to vote on any taxation
bills that come before them, and it is hard for her to believe they could vote for any exceptions in
that at all. She has spoken to many people who do simply want the right to vote on this.
John Dumanski, Lino Lakes, stated the Anoka County Commissioners have volunteered their
pocket books for what is a State problem. This resolution they are being asked to support is
simply a statement by them that they expect a state law to be followed. It is important that they
do this because they have more recognition than they do as private citizens. They are asking
them to say they expect the state law to be followed.
John Knight, Minnetonka, stated what this is really about is the law and it does require a
referendum. There has never been an exemption granted. What they are asking them to do is
simply pass a resolution. It has been done by a growing number of cities in Anoka County and
also some cities in Hennepin.
MOTION by Councilmember Billings to substitute the resolution with the replacement
resolution. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom.

Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 603
Intoxicating Liquor pertaining to Food Sales
At the Council Meeting of January 23, 2006, a first reading was held relating to the modification of
Chapter 603. This change is only intended to clarify the definition of food as it relates to Chapter
603, On-Sale Intoxicating Liquor and the calculation of the ratio of food to liquor sales.
This change is being proposed due to discussions with AMF Maple Lanes and their desire to include
vending machines sales as part of their food sales. Their attorney claimed the City Code was vague
on whether or not vending machines sales could be included as food. Based on that discussion, Staff
has prepared this ordinance in hopes of removing any confusion as to the use of vending machines
sales as part of the food sales in the ratio calculation of food to liquor.
Staff is recommending the second reading of this Ordinance

An Ordinance for TA #OS-04 Shoreland Overlay District, Ch. 20532 O-7 - Second Reading
Background
On November 21, 2005, the Fridley City Council held a public hearing on Text Amendment #OS-04, a
proposed Shoreland Overlay District to the City's Zoning Code. A first reading of the attached ordinance was
completed at the January 23, 2006, City Council meeting. No changes have been made to the version of the
ordinance proposed at the last meeting.
There was a question raised at the last Council meeting about the meaning of the word "flowage" in the
definition of "Shoreland" in the proposed shoreland ordinance. Staff consulted the DNR regarding this
language since it was pulled from State Statute. Staff was informed that the word "flowage" refers to "a body
of water formed by... damming" (Merriam Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, l Oth ed.). There should be no
concern about the term flowage as taken from the State Statutes, because shoreland is defined as land located
within a certain distance of public waters. Public Waters are further defined in Section 4 of the draft code to
only include those bodies of water listed. Flowage simply refers to how the water feature is formed.
Commission Review
On September 20, 2005, the Fridley Environmental Quality and Energy Commission reviewed a previous
version of the text amendment and unanimously approved the proposed ordinance. They believe this ordinance
will further educate the public about the delicate balance between human habitat and necessity of preserving
and protecting our natural surroundings.
On November 2, the Planning Commission held a public hearing on TA#OS-04. They forwarded the item on to
Council for a November 21, public hearing, which the City Council held. The Commission unanimously
recommended approval.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the second reading of the attached ordinance for TA #OS-04 at
the February 13, 2006, City Council meeting, after which it will be published and become effective 15 days
after publication.

205.32 O-7 SHORELAND OVERLAY DISTRICT
1. PURPOSE AND 1NTENT
A. The ;�Yt;,�:�;r��Y�u unre�ulated use of shorelands in the city affects the public health, safety and

C. Jurisdiction. The provisions of this Code shall apply to shorelands of the public water bodies as
classified in Section ���.�a 205.32.4.B of this Code. A body of water created by a private user
where there was no previous shoreland may, at the discretion of the governing body, be exempt
from this Code.
D. Compliance. The use of any shoreland of public waters; the size and shape of lots; the use, size,
type and location of structures on lots; the grading and filling of any shoreland area; and the
cutting of shoreland vegetation shall be in full compliance with the terms of this Code and other
applicable regulations.
E. District application. The shoreland overlay district shall be superimposed (overlaid) upon all the
zoning districts as identified in Chapter 205 of this Code as existing or amended by the text and
map of this Code. The regulations and requirements imposed by the shoreland overlay district
shall be in addition to those established by the base zoning district which jointly apply. Under
joint application of the districts, the more restrictive requirements shall apply.
F. Exemption. A structure or use which was lawful before adoption of this Chapter, but which is not
in conformity with the provisions of the shoreland overlay district, may be continued subject to
Section 205.043 ofthis Code.

extensively the proposed activity would affect the following functional qualities of the
wetland (This evaluation shall also include a determination of whether the wetland
alteration being proposed requires permits, reviews, or approvals by other local, state, or
federal agencies such as a watershed district, the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources, or the United States Army Corps of Engineers):
((i)) Sediment and pollutant trapping and retention.
((ii)) Storage of surface runoff to prevent or reduce flood damage.
((iii)) Fish and wildlife habitat.
((iv)) Recreational use.
((v)) Shoreline or bank stabilization.
((vi)) Noteworthiness, including special qualities such as historic signif�icance, critical
habitat for endangered plants and animals, or others.
b. Alterations must be designed and conducted in a manner that ensures only the smallest
amount of bare ground is exposed for the shortest time possible.
Draft Date 2/6/2006 10:26:00 AM
c. Mulches or similar materials must be used, where necessary, for temporary bare soil
coverage, and a permanent vegetation cover must be established as soon as possible.
d. Methods to minimize soil erosion and to trap sediments before they reach any surface
water feature must be used.

a. When possible, existing natural drainage-ways, wetlands, and vegetated soil surfaces
must be used to convey, store, filter, and retain stormwater runoff before discharge to
public waters.
b. Development must be planned and conducted in a manner that will minimize the extent
of disturbed areas, runoff velocities, erosion potential, and reduce and delay runoff
velocities, erosion potential, and reduce and delay runoff volumes. Disturbed areas must
be stabilized and protected as soon as possible and facilities or methods used to retain
sediment on the site.
c. When development density, topographic features, and soil and vegetation conditions are
not sufficient to adequately handle stormwater runoff using natural features and
vegetation, various types of constructed facilities such as diversions, settling basins,
skimming devices, dikes, waterways, and ponds may be used. Preference must be given
to designs using surface drainage, vegetation, and infiltration rather than buried pipes and
manmade materials and facilities.
(2) Specific standards.
a. Impervious surface lot coverage shall not exceed 35 percent of the lot area, except as a
variance, which shall comply with the following standards:
((i)) All structures, additions or expansions shall meet setback and other requirements

through site grading, use of gutters and down spouts.
(E) Construction sidewalks ���c��;������ of partially pervious raised materials
such as decking which has natural earth or other pervious material beneath
or between the planking.
(F) Use grading and construction techniques which encourage rapid infiltration,
e.g., sand and gravel under impervious materials with adjacent infiltration
swales graded to lead into them.
(G) Install berms, water bars, or terraces which temporarily detain water before
dispersing it into pervious area.
b. When constructed facilities are used for stormwater management, documentation must be
provided by a qualified individual that they are designed and installed consistent with the
field office technical guide of the local soil and water conservation districts.
c. New constructed stormwater outfall to public waters must provide for filtering or settling
of suspended solids and skimming or surface debris before discharge.

An Ordinance for Text Amendment #05-05 Pertaining to Curbing and Drainage
Requirements - Second Reading
Background
On December 12, 2005, the City Council held a public hearing regarding proposed text amendment
TA #05-05, which would amend the Fridley Zoning Code sections pertaining to curbing and drainage
requirements on residential, commercial, and industrial properties. A first reading of the proposed
amendment occurred on January 9, 2006. No one from the public has appeared to testify on this
proposed code amendment. There have been no changed to this proposed text amendment since it
was first introduced to the City Council.
The purpose of this amendment is to allow the City to exempt curbing in situations where a project
includes approved low impact storm water treatment features, like natural swales or rain gardens.
This amendment would apply the same language change to Chapters 205.09.5.D, 205.13.5.D,
205.14.5. D, 205.15.5. D, 205.16.5. D, 205.17.5. D, 205.18.5. D, 205.19.6. D, 205.20.5. D, and
205.25.8. D.
This text amendment also includes a proposed change to the Performance Standards section in all
applicable sections of the Zoning Code, which refer to the Erosion Control Chapter 208. As you are
aware, another separate text amendment is currently before Council regarding repealing and adopting
a new Chapter 208. Since the title of that chapter is changing, staff has advised that the title reference
be changed throughout the Zoning Code.
This text amendment is one of several that have been proposed by staff after examining how the City
Codes could be changed to better protect surface water quality in Fridley. This effort is a result of a
commitment made to the State and Metropolitan Council in the Springbrook Watershed Project.
Commission Review
The Fridley Environmental Quality and Energy Commission has reviewed preliminary drafts of this
proposed text amendment and supported it. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this
item at their November 2, meeting. No one appeared to testify to this matter at the public hearing, and
the Commission unanimously recommended forwarding it on for Council approval. The public was
notified at the meeting that the City Council would not be reviewing this text amendment until its
December 12, 2005, meeting due to an unusually large number of items before them at the time.
Staff Recommendation
City Staff recommends the Council hold the second reading of the attached ordinance for the approval
of the proposed text amendment TA #05-05, to amend the zoning code pertaining to curbing and
drainage requirements, at the February 13, 2006, City Council meeting.

An Ordinance Summary for TA #OS-OS Curbing and Drainage Requirements in Zoning Code
Background
On December 12, 2005, the Fridley City Council held a public hearing on Text Amendment #OS-O5, which
proposes changes to the Zoning Code regarding curbing requirements and reference to stormwater
management and erosion control. A first reading of the attached ordinance was completed at the January 9,
2006, City Council meeting. No changes have been made to the version of the ordinance that received a first
reading. The second reading is scheduled for the February 13, City Council meeting. The second reading had
been delayed due to changes being simultaneously considered for Chapter 208.

6 Minimum Storm Water Pollution Control Measures and Related Inspections. These
minimum control measures are reQUired where bare soil is exposed. Due to the diversitv of
individual construction sites each site will be individuallv evaluated. Where additional control
measures are needed they will be �cified at the discretion of the citv en�ineer. The citv will
determine what action is necessarv.
A) All gradin�,plans and buildin� site survevs must be reviewed bv the citv for the
effectiveness of erosion control measures in the context of site topo�raphv and draina�e.
B) Sediment control measures must be pronerly installed bv the builder before construction
activitv be�ins Such structures may be adjusted durin� �rv weather to accommodate short
term activities such as those allowing the passa�e of verv lar�e vehicles. As soon as this
activi�-v is fmished or before the next runoff event, the erosion and sediment control
structures must be returned to the confi�uration specified by the citv. A sediment control
insQection must then be scheduled and vassed before a footing inspection will be done.
C 1 Diversion of channeled runoff around disturbed areas if practical, or the vrotection
of the channeL

Svstem/State Dis�osal Svstem (NPDES/SDSZconstruction storm water permit from the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency for an�proiect that disturbs one (11 acre or more of
land. This one acre value also�plies to a common plan of develo�ment or sale.
G.) Sediment basins related to impervious surface area. Where a proiect's ultimate
development reQlaces surface vegetation with one �l ) or more acres of cumulative
impervious surface, and all runoff has not been accounted for in a local unit of
�overnment's existing storm water management plan or practice, the runoff must be
discharged to a wet sedimentation basin prior to enterin� waters of the state. "
1.) At a minimum the work shall conform with the current version of the Minnesota -
Pollution Contrvl Agenc�publication, "Protectin� Water Quality in Urban Areas," and
the current requirements found in the same a�ency's_ NPDES/SDS permits for storm

must be controlled with silt fences or rock check dams.
1.�If for any reason a soil or non-soii stockpile of anY size is located closer than twent�-
five (25)feet from a road, drainage chan�el or storm water inlet, and will be left for more
than seven (7) davs, it must be covered with tarps or controlled in some other manner.
2.) All non-soil (clean sand, gravel, concrete or bituminous) must at a minimum have a

L.l Temporary rock construction entrances, or equallv effective means of preventing
vehicles from tracking sediment from the site, ma by e required wherever vehicles enter and
exit a site.
1.) Vehicle trackin� of sediment from the site must be_minimized b�BMPs such as stone
pads, concrete or steel wash racks, or equivalent systems. Street sweepin� must be used
if such BMPs are not adec�uate.
M.) Parkin� is prohibited on all bare lots and all temporarv construction entrances, exceQt
46
where street parkin�. is not available Gravel entrances are to be used for deliveries onlv as
per the development contract.
N) Streets must be cleaned and swept whenever trackin� of sediments occurs. Sediment
shall not be allowed to remain on the streets if the site is to be left idle for weekends or
holidaYs. A regular sweepin� schedule should be esta.blished.
O) Water (impacted bv the construction activityl removed from the site bv vumnin� must
be treated bv temporarv sedimenta.tion basins,�eotextile filters �rit chambers, sand filters,
up-flow chambers hvdro-cvclones, swirl concentrators or other approvriate controls. Such
water shall not be discharg;ed in a manner that causes erosion or floodin� of the site,
receivin� channels, ad�acent propertv or a wetland.
P) All storm drain inlets must be protected durinp construction until control measures
are in place with either silt fence or an ec�uivalent barrier that meets accepted desi�n
criteria standards and specifications as contained in the latest version of the Minnesota
Pollution Control A�ency's publication "Protectin� Water Oualitv in Urban Areas."
Q Z Roof drain leaders All newly constructed and reconstructed buildin�s shall route roof
drain leaders to pervious areas (not natural wetlands) where the runoff can infiltrate
whenever practical The dischar�e rate shall be controlled so that no erosion occurs in the
, pervious areas.
R� Removal from the vroiect's site of more than one (1) acre of topsoil shall not be done,
unless written permission is given by the citv en�neer. Excessive removal of tovsoil from
the project's site can cause si�ificant current and future soil erosion nroblems.
S) Inspection and maintenance All storm water pollution control mana{�ement facilities
must be desi�ned to minimize the need of maintenance to�rovide easv vehicle (tvnicallv
ei�ht (8) feet or widerl and�ersonnel access for maintenance purposes and be structurallv

continued effective removal of the pollutants carried in storm water runoff. The owner
shall inspect all storm water managiement facilities durin� construction, twice durin� the
first vear of oQeration and at least once everv vear thereafter. The citv will keep all
inspection records on file for a period of six (6) vears.
1�pection and maintenance easements It shall be the responsibilitv of the apnlicant :
to obtain anv necessarv easements or other propertv interests to allow access to the storm
water mana�ement facilities for inspection and maintenance purpose.
T) Follow-up inspections must be performed bv the owner on a reg�nlar basis to ensure that
erosion and sediment control measures are properly installed and maintained. In all cases
the inspectors will attempt to work with the applicant and/or builder to maintain proner
erosion and sediment control at all sites.
1) In ca.ses where cooneration is withheld construction stop orders mav be issued bv the
citv until all erosion and sediment control measures meet specifications. A second
erosion and sediment control/gradin inspection must then be scheduled and nassed
before the final ins�ection will be done.
U� All infiltration areas must be inspected to ensure that sediment from on�oin�
47
construction activities is not reachin� infiltration areas, and that these areas are also being
protected from soil compaction from the movement of construction equipment.
7. Permanent Storm Water Pollution Controls.
A.) The applicant shall install and construct all permanent storm water mana ement
facilities necessarv to mana�e increased runoff, so that the discharge rates from storm
water treatment basins, such that the predevelopment twen -four (24) hour two (2 vear.
ten (10) vear, and one hundred (1001 veaz peak storm discharge rates are not increased.
These predevelopment rates shall be based on the last ten (10)years of how that land was
used. Accelerated channel erosion must not occur as a result of the proposed land '
disturbing or develovment activitv.
1.� All calculations and information used in determinin these �eak storm dischar e rates
shall be submitted alon�; with the storm water pollution controlplan.
B.�pplicant shall consider reducin� the need for ermanent storm water management
facilities bv incorporating the use of natural topo�raphY and land cover such as natural
swales and depressions as thev exist before development to the de�ree that theY can
accommodate the additional flow of treated (e.�., settled) water without compromising �e
inte ritv or quality of the wetland or pond.
C.) The following permanent storm water mana ement ractices must be investi ated in
developing the storm water mana e�ment part of the storm water pollution control nlan in
the following descending order of preference:
1.) Protect and preserve as much natural or ve�etated area on the site as possible,
minimizing impervious surfaces. Direct runoffto ve�etated azeas rather than to
adjoinin�; streets, storm sewers and ditches.
2.) Flow attennation of treated storm water by the use of o en vegetaxed swales and
natural depressions.
3.) Storm water ponding facilities (including1percolation facilitiesl; and
4.1 A combination of successive practices may be used to achieve the a� lin cable
minimum control requirements specified in subsection (C) above. The applicant shall
�rovide justification for the method selected.
D.) Redevelopment of existin�parcels must provide treatment of stormwater from
impervious surfaces even if the amount of impervious remains the same or is reduced.
Treatment mav be accomplished through the use of ponding areas, infiltration areas, or
structural stormwater treatment devices.
The applicant shall submit documentation showing the chosen method will remove in
excess of 80% of suspended solids and other pollutants from a 1.5 inch 24 hour storm
event.
48
E) The ap�licant shall be required to si�n and file a Stormwater Maintenance A�,reement
that ensures continued effective removal of the pollutants carried in storm water runoff.
The Agreement also ensures continued maintenance cieanin�pkeep of the facilitv.
8. Minimum Desig�n Standards for Storm Water Wet Detention Facilities. At a minimum these
facilities must confonm to the most current technolo�y as reflected in the current version of the
Minnesota Pollution Control A�encv's publication "Protecting Water Qualitv in Urban Areas"
and the current requirements found in the same a�cy's NPDES nermits for storm water
associated with construction activities:
9. Minimum Protection for Natural Wetlands.
A) Runoff must not be dischar�ed directiv into wetlands without appropriate qualitv (e.i.,
treated) and c�uantitv runoff control dependin� on the individual wetland's ve�etation
sensitivitv. See the current version of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agencv's
publication "Storm-Water and Wetlands: Plannin� and Evaluation Guidelines for
Addressin� Potential Impacts of Urban Storm-Water and Snow-Melt Runoff on Wetlands"
for guidance.
B.1 Wetlands must not be drained or filled whollv or partiallv, unless replaced bv either
restorin� or creatin� wetland areas of at least equa.l public value. Compensation, includin�
the replacement ratio and quali of re�lacement should be consistent with the requirements
outlined in the Board of Water and Soil Resources rules that implement the Minnesota
Wetland Conservation Act of 1991 includin�an�and all amendments to it.
C.l Work in and around wetlands must be i�u ded bv the followin�principles in descending
order of prioritv:
1) Avoid both the direct and indirect impact of the activit�that ma d�estrov or diminish
the wetland:
2.) Minimize the impact bv limitin tg he degree or ma�,nitude of the wetland related
activitv.
3) Recti the im�act bv reoairing rehabilitating, or restoring the affected wetland
environment with one of at least equal public value. '
4) Reduce or eliminate the adverse impact over time b�preservation and maintenance
operations during the life of the activitv.

DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
PUBLIC HEARINGS:
MOTION by Commissioner Kondrick, seconded by Commissioner Saba, to open the public
hearing.
UPON UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:35 P.M.
1. Consideration of a Special Use Permit SP#06-01, bv RSP Architects, for Totino
Grace Hiph School, to allow an eacistinp private school to exist as a special use
in an R-1, sinple familv zoninp district, aenerallv located at 1350 Gardena
Avenue.
Ms. Stromberg, City Planner, presented a request from Mr. Maurelli of RSP Architects, who is
representing Totino Grace High School, who is seeking a special use permit to allow an existing
private school to exist as a special use in an R-1, Single Family zoning district, located at 1350
Gardena Avenue.
Ms. Stromberg reviewed that the existing private school has been in e�cistence in this location
since the school was constructed in 1965. However, a special use permit has never been
obtained for the school. This special use permit request is coming to us at this time because the
school is seeking a variance and building permit to renovate the school auditorium.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the school was constructed in 1965, with an addition constructed in
1977. Totino Grace is a co-educational Catholic high school, which provides education to
approximately 1,020 children in grades 9-12. In 2003, the City Council approved a variance
request, by Totino Grace High School, to reduce the width of parking stalls from 10 ft. to 9 ft. to
Planning Commission January 4, 2006 Page 4 of 4
allow an expansion of a parking lot. This increased the parking lot by 70 parking stalls. In 1999,
a special use permit was issued for the properry to allow the school to upgrade the existing track
and field facility. Although a special use permit was approved at this time, it was for the track
and field facility only and not the school as a whole.
Ms. Stromberg stated that private schools are permitted special use in the R-1, Single Family
zoning district, provided that the proposed expansion complies with the requirements for the
special use permit, subject to the stipulations suggested by staff. Totino Grace has existed on
this site since 1965; however, the special use permit has never been obtained for the school.
Therefore, the petitioner is seeking this special use permit.
Ms. Stromberg stated that currently the property complies with all setback and lot coverage
requirements. In addition to this special use permit request, the petitioner is also seeking a
variance to increase the height of the existing auditorium. The auditorium is located
approximately in the center of the existing school building. City Code requires a 30 ft. maximum
height in the R-1, Single Family zoning district and the petitioner is seeking to increase that
height requirement to 48 ft. only in the location of the auditorium within the school building.
Ms. Stromberg said that this variance will allow the renovation of the school auditorium, by
increasing the height and increasing the number of seats. However, the building footprint will
not change. The reason for the height increase is to create a functional theatre in which
theatrical, choral, or orchestral productions can be better produced. By increasing the height of
the space in the theater, the theatre will better be able to accommodate production catwalks,
increase the proscenium opening and allow a fly loft over the stage, all of which will better
service the school and their productions. The reason the number of seats will increase within the
auditorium is because the fly loft will allow a more efficient type of storage system, which will in
turn allow the existing stage to be reduced in size. This variance request will go before the
Appeals Commission on January 11, 2006.
Ms. Stromberg stated currently Totino Grace parking lot holds 366 parking stalls which fall short
of building code by 8 stalls. If this auditorium space is increased, Totino Grace will need to bring
their parking lot in compliance with city code.
Ms. Stromberg stated that City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as
private schools are permitted special use in the R-1, Single-Family zoning district, subject to the
following stipulations.
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building, fire, and ADA requirements.
3. The subject property shall be maintained free of any and all construction debris.
4. Construction vehicles shall not bring materials before 7:00 a.m. or after 9:00 p.m.
5. The addition shall be architecturally compatible with the existing building and
finished with complementary e�erior building materials and color scheme.
6. At the time the square footage fo any of the school buildings are expanded, teh
property shall come into compliance with all parking code requirements.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the City has received three resident calls regarding this issue. One
had no concerns, one had parking concerns and one was supportive of the school and the special
use permit/project.
Commissioner Savage asked for clarification that this special use permit is needed because of
the variance.
Ms. Stromberg stated that yes, if special use permit request is coming to us as a result of the
Planning Commission January 4, 2006
Page4of4
auditorium renovation and subsequent variance request. When the special use permit was
granted in 1999, it was for the track and field project only and not for the entire school.
Therefore, a new special use permit is needed at this time.
Commissioner Oquist asked if this special use permit needed the presenting stipulations or if
the stipulations were only revelant to the variance request.
Ms. Stromberg replied that the City can put stipulations on any land use item and that City
Staff routinely applies the same stipulations to all land use requests by a given petitioner to
remain consistent.
Commissioner Kondrick, questioned the second stipulation regarding meeting all building, fire
and ADA requirements and if the school currently met this stipulation.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the new auditorium will need to meet all building, fire and ADA
requirements. When we have a request like this we routinely make sure that the parking lot is
also checked for ADA compliance, however, she was unsure if the other areas of the school
currently meet building, fire and ADA requirements.
Mr. Maurelli, of RSP Architects, stated he had nothing to add to the presentation.
Commissioner Savage questioned if Mr. Maurelli had any problems with the stipulations.
Mr. Maurelli stated that he did not have any problems with the stipulations.
Commissioner Kuechle asked if Mr. Maurelli could clarify stipulation number two and if he was
aware if the school met building code requirements.
Mr. Maurelli stated that he has not looked at the entire building. He is aware that currently the
auditorium does not meet ADA requirements but will after renovation. As they renovate the
school, they are bringing the areas into compliance. Mr. Maurelli is assuming that he does not
need to bring the entire 140,000 square feet building up to ADA requirements and that this
stipulation would just apply the auditorium area.
Ms. Stromberg stated that this stipulation is specific for the auditorium, however the parking
will be checked and any other areas the building official or fire marshal would like to inspect. Mr.
Maurelli has spoke to the fire marshal regarding installing a sprinkler system in the school and
auditorium.
Brother Milton Barker, of Totino Grace High School, stated that he was surprised a special use
permit was needed for this renovation as they have been in compliance for over 40 years and
have completed several projects in the last 10 years. To his knowledge, the last renovation of
classrooms, office space and library were all in compliance of the ADA requirements. Three years
ago when Totino Grace revamped the parking lot area it was also brought to ADA code as well.
MOTION by Commissioner Kuechle, seconded by Commissioner Saba, to close the public
hearing.
UPON UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE
DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 7:48 P.M.
Commissioner Oquist was also surprised that no special use permit was needed in the past for
renovations and that maybe it was an oversight.
Planning Commission January 4, 2006
Page4of4
Commissioner Johns suggested that stipulation number two regarding ADA requirements only
apply to the auditorium and not the entire school.
Commissioner Kondrick concurred and was pleased to hear that Totino Grace has been
bringing the building up to code requirements as they renovate.
Commissioner Dunham stated that he is a neighbor of Totino Grace and they have been a
great neighbor and have a very nice facility.
MOTION by Commissioner Kondrick, seconded by Commissioner Saba, to approve the Special
Use Permit SP #06-01, by RSP Architects, for Totino Grace High School, to allow an existing
private school to exist as a special use in an R-1, single family zoning district, generally located at
1350 Gardena Avenue, with the following stipulations:
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building, fire, and ADA requirements.

P.M.
Ms. Stromberg, City Planner, presented a request from petitioners Richard and Gerald
Pearo of Hilltop Trailer Sales, Inc., who are seeking a special use permit to incorporate
the property located at 7730 University Avenue, formerly Mask Hair Designs, to their
existing Hilltop Trailer Sales property, which is located at 7810 University Avenue. This
special use permit is an addendum to the petitioner's existing special use permit which
allows the selling and displaying of recreational vehicles and stipulations for this special
use permit will be related specifically to the subject property.
Ms. Stromberg reviewed that the subject property is located on the University Avenue
Planning Commission 2/1/06
Page 2 of 4
Service Road, north of Osborne Road and is zoned C-2, General Business. The 4,100
square foot building was originally constructed in 1973 as a pancake house. Most
recently the building has been used as Mask Hair Designs. Hilltop Trailer Sales owns
the property directly west and north of the subject property.
Ms. Stromberg reported that in 1998 Hilltop Trailer Sales was granted a special use
permit to allow the selling and displaying of recreational vehicles at their property,
located at 7810 University Avenue. Hilltop Trailer Sales has since purchased the subject
property and is seeking this special use permit to incorporate this property into their
existing property and allow additional space for displaying new recreational vehicles.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the selling and displaying of recreational vehicles is a
permitted special use in the C-2 zoning district, subject to the stipulations suggested by
Staff. According to the petitioner's, they are planning to keep the existing building intact,
and plan to make outdoor improvements to the property. The outdoor improvements will
include enhancements to the exterior of the building, irrigation installation, installing
additional landscaping and extending the existing fence to surround the subject property.
They also plan to make alterations to the inside of the building so it can be used for
additional indoor showroom space.
Ms. Stromberg said that City Staff has heard from one neighboring property owner who
is in support of the proposed special use permit and the benefits it will provide for Hilltop
Trailer Sales. No other public comments have been received.
Ms. Stromberg stated that City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit
request as selling and displaying of recreational vehicles is a permitted special use in the
C-2, General Business zoning district, subject to stipulations. City Staff also
recommends that this special use permit be granted as an addendum to Hilltop Trailers
existing special use permit, which allows the selling and displaying of recreational
vehicles, and that the addendum relate to the property legally described as the South
204 ft. of the East 200 ft. of Lot 3, Block 2, East Ranch Estates, Second Addition, subject
to easement of record, generally located at 7730 University Avenue.
Ms. Stromberg stated that City Staff recommends that if the special use permit is
granted, the following stipulations be attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain any required permits prior to remodel of property.
2. A 25 ft. fire lane shall remain around the existing building.
3. Recreational vehicles to be displayed for sale shall not be displayed in the
front yard setback.
4. Proposed landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to
installation.
5. One free-standing sign shall be allowed for the two properties combined.
Commissioner Kondrick questioned if this property has received any complaints from
neighbors regarding too many vehicles in the front of the building or if they have been in
any violation in the past.
Ms. Stromberg answered that to her knowledge, Hilltop Trailer Sales has not received
any complaints or had any violations in the past five years.
Commissioner Kuechle questioned if there would be any advantage to combining the
Planning Commission 2/1/06
lots for tax purposes.
Page 3 of 4
Ms. Stromberg stated that there is no need to replat the property or combine the
properties.
Jerry and Dick Pearo, Hilltop Trailer Sales, stated that they have no problems with the
stipulations, plan to add attractive landscaping and make the two units look like one
parcel. They stated that the property will look much nicer once they complete the
construction.
Jerry Pearo questioned the current sign and if a new one could be larger and more
centrally located.
Ms. Stromberg stated that the current sign is approximately 67 square feet and City
Code will allow a maximum sign an 80 square feet sign so it would be possible to have a
larger sign more centrally located as long as it stayed within the city code requirements.
Dick Pearo stated that Hilltop Trailer Sales plans to do a nice job on the construction
and that the City will be happy with the outcome.
Commissioner Kondrick questioned when the construction will be complete.
Dick Pearo stated that they hope to be complete by mid June.

The subject property is located on the University Avenue Service Road, north of Osborne Road
and is zoned C-2, General Business. The 4,100 square foot building was originally constructed
in 1973 as a pancake house. Most recently the building has been used as Mask Hair Designs.
Hilltop Trailer Sales owns the property directly west and north of the subject property. In 1998,
Hilltop Trailer Sales was granted a special use permit to allow the selling and displaying of
recreational vehicles at their property, located at 7810 University Avenue. Hilltop Trailer Sales
has since purchased the subject property and is seeking this special use permit to incorporate
this property into there existing property and to allow additional space for displaying new
recreational vehicles.
Aerial of Property
The selling and displaying of recreational vehicles is a permitted special use in the C-2 zoning
district, subject to the stipulations suggested by staff. According to the petitioner's, they are
planning to keep the existing building intact, and plan to make outdoor improvements to the
property. The outdoor improvements will include enhancements to the exterior of the building,
irrigation installation, installing additional landscaping and extending the existing ornamental
fence to surround the subject property. They also plan to make alterations to the inside of the
building so it can be used for additional indoor showroom space.
Existing Property
City staff has heard from one neighboring property owner who is in support of the proposed
special use permit and the benefits it will provide for Hilltop Trailer Sales. No other public
comments have been received.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as selling and displaying of
recreational vehicles is a permitted special use in the C-2, General Business zoning district,
subject to stipulations.
City Staff recommends that this special use permit be granted as an addendum to Hilltop
Trailers existing special use permit, which allows the selling and displaying of recreational
vehicles, and that the addendum relate to the property legally described as The South 204 ft. of
the East 200 ft. of Lot 3, Block 2, East Ranch Estates, Second Addition, subject to easement of
record, generally located at 7730 University Avenue.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be
attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain any required permits prior to remodel of property.
2. A 25 ft. fire lane shall remain around the existing building.
3. Recreational vehicles to be displayed for sale shall not be displayed in the front yard
setback.
4. Proposed landscape plan to be reviewed and approved by City staff prior to installation.

First Amendment Joint Powers Agreement for Contract Street Maintenance
Work
This memo approves the first amendment to the Joint Powers Agreement for street
maintenance work including sealcoating, traffic markings, street sweeping, craft sealing and
screening. This amendment adds the City of tiam Lake to the original group of cities, Andover,
Brooklyn Center, Columbia lieights, Coon Rapids and Spring Lake Park.
In 2004, several cities decided to explore the advantages of joining together for the various
street maintenance projects. It was determined that a Joint Powers Agreement was beneficiat to
participating cities. This group prepared a Joint Powers Agreement to combine certain bid
items to reduce the number of contracts needed, pool large quantities, and achieve lower bids
fi-orn contractors. All contracted work would stilf need to be budgeted and approved by the City
Council as we have done in the past The agreement will allow each city to accept or not
accept the bids for their portion of the proposed contract
The City of Coon Rapids is the lead agency for the group of cities that are receiving bids on
the various street maintenance items. The City of Fridley would be reimbursing the City of
Coon Rapids for legal and administrative costs based on a percentage of actual contract cost
The Joint Powers Agreement can be terminated on the part of any individual city by giving sixty
(60) days notice to the other cities.
Recommend the City Council approve the amended Joint Powers Agreement with the cities of
Andover, Brooklyn Center, Columbia lieights, Coon Rapids, liam Lake and Spring Lake Park
for contract street maintenance work.

AMENDING RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF A TAX
INCREMENT PLEDGE AGREEMENT
DATE: February 8, 2006
Attached you will find a resolution that was prepared by Mary Ippel from the firm of Briggs
and Morgan. This action will remove Tax Increment District #6 from the Pledge Agreement
that was executed in conjunction with the 2005B Bonds.
As Staff was reviewing the transcript of proceedings for the 2005 Bond this past fall, we noticed
that Tax Increment District #6 had been mistakenly included as one of the TIF Districts that
had been pledged as tax increment. You may recall that TIF District #6 was fully pledged to
the Lake Pointe District and should not have been used in conjunction with the repayment of
the 2005 Bonds.
The resolution correctly removes TIF District #6 from the revenue pledge. The Fridley
Housing and Redevelopment Authority reviewed and passed a similar resolution at their
meeting of February 2, 2006. Staff recommends approving this resolution.

WHEREAS, by resolution duly adopted by the City Council on May 23, 2005 (the "Bond

Obligation Tax Increment Refunding Bonds, Series 1997A, dated June 1, 1997; and
WHEREAS, the Bond Resolution incorrectly pledged to the payment of the Bonds the tax increments
received from Tax Increment Financing District No. 6, heretofore created by the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority of the City of Fridley, Minnesota (the "Authority"), within Redevelopment
Proj ect No. 1; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby determines that the Bond Resolution must be amended to
correctly identify the source of the tax increments which are pledged to the payment of the Bonds,
such tax increments specifically being tax increments derived from Tax Increment Financing
Districts 1, 2 and 3; and
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Fridley, Anoka County,
Minnesota, as follows:

The Authority will also adopt a resolution authorizing execution of the Amended Tax Increment
Pledge Agreement. The City shall take such action as it determines is necessary to assure that the

"County"), together with such other information as the County shall require, and to obtain from the
County the certificate that this Resolution and the Amended Tax Increment Pledge Agreement have

1ST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 101 OF THE
FRIDLEY CITY CODE ALLOWING WILDLIFE CONTROL MEASURES
Fridley City Code, Chapter 101, presently makes it unlawful to hunt, take, shoot, trap, or kill
any wild animal or bird. An exception permits eradication of rodents. In past cases where
nuisance deer reduction was desired, at the Minneapolis Water Works for example, Council
has had to authorize a temporary variance from City Code through a resolution. In the interest
of providing a more streamlined process for addressing future deer reduction requests, as well
as handling potential concerns involving nuisance populations of Canada geese or other
animals, language has been added to Section 101.02 authorizing a permit process for the
taking of nuisance wild animals and birds. Applicants will be required to 1) secure appropriate
permits from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources as well as any federal agency
having regulatory authority; 2) provide an indemnification agreement; and 3) submit a
wildlife control plan including at a minimum, a site plan, description and number of the
species to be taken, method of taking and disposal, identification of persons involved, and the
plan for securing the location. The Public Safety Director or designee will be vested with
authority to approve, modify, or deny the plan, taking into account public health, safety and
welfare. The amendment further prohibits persons from disrupting wildlife control programs.
Additional language was added to section 102.02 that permits Nature Center staff, the Animal
Control Officer and officers of the Fridley Police Department to trap, immobilize or kill a
wild animal or bird for reasons of public safety or for reasons of humane destruction
following injury.
Staff believes that these are reasonable regulations to control the taking of wild animals and
birds. Staff recommends a first reading of this ordinance.
ORDINANCE NO.
