BOARD OF CANVASS MEETING

RICHARD D. PRIBYL, FINANCE DIRECTOR
DEBRA A. SKOGEN, CITY CLERK
SUBJECT: CANVASS REPORT OF GENERAL ELECTION — NOVEMBER 7, 2006
DATE: NOVEMBER 8, 2006
A general election was held on Tuesday, November 7, 2006, to select candidates for the offices
of Councilmembers Ward 1, 2 and 3 and to determine the outcome of the utility rate increase
question. Attachment 1 is the Statement of Canvass for this election. State Law states that the
City Council must canvass the results of the primary election within 7 days of the election. I
have included the total number of ballots cast in the City for this election, the total number of
votes for each candidate and question, a true copy of the ballot, and the names of the election
judges as required.
There were a total number of 15,559 registered voters at 7:00 a.m. and 1165 Election Day
registrations for a total number of 16,724 registered voters. 10,664 registered voters cast a ballot
in the City thereby giving the City a voter turnout of 64%, which is about 10% lower than our
other general election turnouts.
Staff recommends a motion accepting and certifying the results of the election.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Connie Thompson, Senior Program Coordinator, shared some of the things they are doing with
the Senior Program. She said the Senior Program is considered a community focal point by the
Metropolitan Area agency on aging. The Senior Center is considered a"one stop shop" so when
a senior has an issue they can come to the Senior Center and get referrals or support. The Senior
Center offers recreation, social services, wellness and health, and nutrition. The Fridley Senior
Center nutrition program is the largest in Anoka County and in the month of September they
served over 1,400 meals. On average there are 50-65 seniors using the nutrition center per day.
Special event days can bring in as many as 200 seniors.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 2
Ms. Thompson stated that information, referrals and education are a big part of the Senior
Program. A recent program with the Fridley Community Education and the Minnesota
International Center (Great Decisions) was created that talks about foreign policy issues. The
first issue was on LTN and LTN reform. This program will be offered on a monthly basis, and
some of the future topics include Brazil, India, China, terrorism and human rights, and we are
looking at some other current topics to debate. Comments from the seniors will be referred to
the Foreign Policy Association in New York.
Ms. Thompson stated that volunteer opportunities are another big piece of the Senior Program.
The Fridley Alternative High School has students who transferred from another school or are
from a foreign country who don't know how to read. These students may be reading at a third
grade level and three seniors are currently being trained to be reading tutors to work one on one
with these students.
Ms. Thompson stated that their Chores and More Program is another part of the Senior
Program. She talked about how the program works. Currently, 551 households are in the data
base and in 2005, 313 households were served with 5,555 hours of services. She said 53% of the
jobs were outdoor jobs such as snow removal, raking, mowing and 47% were indoor jobs like
house cleaning, wall washing, painting and minor repairs. In 2005, 1,324 volunteer hours were
turned in from 61 volunteers. There has been a 21% increase for services in 2006.
Councilmember Wolfe asked how many seniors use the center daily.
Ms. Thompson replied that 125 to 150 seniors visit the Senior Center each day.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that he visits the center often and every day the parking lot seems
full. He said it is probably one of the best uses of the facilities in the City of Fridley.
Ms. Thompson replied that they have a good time at the Senior Center. The senior volunteers
work hard but they enj oy what they are doing.
Councilmember Barnette asked if people need to be a Fridley resident to be part of the Senior
Program.
Ms. Thompson replied no. She said 75% of the participants are residents of Fridley.
Mayor Lund asked what the capacity of the Senior Center was and if there was a waiting list.
Ms. Thompson replied that certain programs and special events, such as Veterans' Day or the
Lions' Christmas Dinner may have a waiting list. They try to accommodate as many seniors as
possible.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that the space is used wisely and they do a great job.
Ms. Thompson said they are creating relationships in the community and that is what makes this
program work.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 3
Mayor Lund thanked Ms. Thompson and all the volunteers for the work they do to make this
program a success.
APPROVAL OF PROPOSED CONSENT AGENDA:
APPROVAL OF MINUTES:
City Council Meeting of October 23, 2006.
APPROVED.
NEW BUSINESS:
1. First reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 6, Commissions, of the Fridley City
Code Providing for Substitute Members on the Appeals Commission.
William Burns, City Manager, stated this item was tabled on August 28. The amendment
would codify a long-standing policy whereby Planning Commission members are permitted to
serve as substitutes for Appeals Commission members in situations when there would not be a
quorum. The change will facilitate meeting the 60-day action law requirements. Staff
recommends the removal of the item from the table and its approval by Council.
THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON
THE REGULAR AGENDA.
2. First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 114 of the Fridley City Code
Pertaining to Abandoned Junk or Unsafe Motor Vehicles.
William Burns, City Manager, stated the amendment seeks to align the City's practice for
disposal of junk vehicles with the City Code. The current wording in the City Code makes
reference to a City Code Enforcement Officer and to a requirement that these vehicles be sold at
public auction. The changes eliminate references to the Code Enforcement Officer and make it
possible to delegate the sale of the vehicle "to a duly authorized agent of the City." Staff
recommends Council's approval.
THIS ITEM WAS REMOVED FROM THE CONSENT AGENDA AND PLACED ON
THE REGULAR AGENDA.
3. First Reading of an Ordinance of the City of Fridley Amending Chapter 11 of the
Fridley City Code by Adding a Section Requiring Compliance with all Ordinances and
Laws of the City as well as the Payment of All Outstanding Fees or Charges Due the
City Prior to the Issuance of any License.
William Burns, City Manager, stated that the amendment allows the withholding of rental
licenses from rental property owners who have delinquent utility bills. Staff recommends
Council's approval.

assessment involves eight properties for a total cost of $58,852.75. The assessment is for 10
years and the assessment rate is 6 1/2%. There will be a resolution following the public hearing
related to the actual assessment of this project.
Councilmember Bolkcom said that if the resolution is approved, the property owners will have
30 days to prepay the certification. A senior citizen can request deferred payment.
Fred Mykkanen, 6840 Jefferson St. NE, asked how they would be billed.
Mr. Pribyl stated that a final letter would be sent out to residents indicating that the assessment
was certified. Residents would have 30 days to pay or it would be certified to their property
taxes.
Mayor Lund asked when the 30 days would start.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 6
Mr. Pribyl said tomorrow.
William Burns, City Manager, said if they do not prepay the bill, it will be included in their
property tax bill over the next 10 years.
Mr. Mykkanen asked how this would affect future property assessed values.
Dr. Burns said this would not be considered as added value to the home, as it is considered
maintenance.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE , MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 9:00 P.M.
11. Consideration of the Assessment for Street Improvement Project No. 2006-1.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and
open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 9:01 P.M.
Richard Pribyl, Finance Director, stated this project assessment pertains to the concrete curb
and gutter portion of the 2006-1 project. The total assessed cost including the driveway portion
of this project is $841,274.99. The assessed cost of the street project is $17.80 per front foot as
compared to the original estimate of $19.50 per foot. The assessment is for a 10-year period at
6'/z% interest. One objection was received from the homeowner at 774 Bennett Drive. The
obj ection was on the rate of assessment, not the work relating to the corner lot. The resolution
will be presented after the public hearings.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to submit into the record letters from Don and Carol
Blair dated October 18, and Jeffrey and Claudia Ciesynski dated October 23. Seconded by
Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that she spoke with the Blairs regarding their driveway. She
noted that going into their driveway, the bottom of the car scrapes on the bottom of the driveway.
Jon Haukaas, Public Works Director, stated that Rice Creek Boulevard was raised slightly to
add a crown in the road. The concrete curb and gutter that was installed along the edge of the
road is a primary difference. There is no denying that there is a different feel when you drive
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 7
into it because of the concrete curb with the lip on it as opposed to a smooth formed gutter along
there as there used to be with an asphalt street. He met with the Blairs and did not think there
was a problem. There is not much that can be done to improve the situation. The slope of the
driveway is approximately what it was. They are in agreement that there is a different feel to the
driveway compared to when there was asphalt.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that the Blairs appreciate everyone's efforts, but they are
concerned about their driveway. They are not complaining about the assessment, but the
driveway and the dip that was created. She also asked about 69th Avenue and the swale that is
there.
Mr. Haukaas stated that at the intersection of 69th Avenue and 69th Place, there was a water
problem. Water was being held on the north side of the street and could not get to the south side
of the street to continue draining down to the storm sewer. A quick fix was designed which put a
sharp swale across the street to get the water out. He said they are not happy with it and are
surveying the area for a redesign. It may be fixed in the spring. The contractor built the area to
what was designed, as instructed, it just did not work.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what he meant when he said the contractor built it to our
design. She asked if staff approved this.
Mr. Haukaas stated when the grades are relatively flat, you may not always get everything
perfect on paper. What may look good on paper may not be that way when it is constructed.
There was not adequate time to tear this out this fall. He said they wanted to look at it and create
a good solution and fix it in the spring.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if it would be a city or contractor cost when it is fixed in the
spring.
Mr. Haukaas said it would not be a cost to the contractor.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if it would be a problem with the snow plows this winter.
Mr. Haukaas answered that the plows are aware of the issue and it should not be a real problem.
The plows are not going at a high rate of speed when plowing the area.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the sod and driveway issues have been resolved.
Mr. Haukaas stated that all the sod issues have been dealt with. They have not heard of any
additional problems with sod. There are about six driveways with issues. Payment is being
withheld from the contractor on those driveways until the issues are resolved. We are moving
forward with the assessment tonight as this is the only opportunity to allow residents to finance
their driveways through the City. If there is a dispute on a driveway and it is removed from the
assessment role, the only way we can bill the property owner in the future is in full. The
property owner would not be able to finance it through the city.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 8
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the resolution needed to be passed tonight for this
assessment in order to get it to the County.
Mr. Pribyl stated it did.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked what legal recourse the property owners have to ensure these
issues will be resolved.
Fritz Knaak, City Attorney, stated they can object to the assessment but the procedure is in
place for them to rej ect the original assessment. This would preserve their right to obj ect to the
amount that is being assessed tonight.
Councilmember Bolkcom said if the resident is not here tonight, they will not be able to object
to the assessment.
Mr. Knaak stated that residents have within 30 days of the assessment to object.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that some people who had their driveways done thought there
was a cut made from the street, but if they had their entire driveway done, they are responsible
for the entire driveway.
Mr. Haukaas stated that the difference in what the City may have replaced generally amounts to
about $200 in materials. Staff time involved in coordinating how much residents would save
would far outweigh whatever the credit would be. It has been the City's policy to donate staff
time to coordinate the contractors and driveways, but residents pay the full amount of the
driveway. Payment will be withheld from the contractor until this issue is resolved and residents
are satisfied with their driveways.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked when the sod would be looked at again.
Mr. Haukaas said that in the spring or late May staff will go through the entire proj ect area and
look for dead sod or sod that did not take. The contractor will be required to fix the sod and the
homeowner will be responsible for watering the sod. The contractor is responsible for watering
the sod for the first 30 days to get it started. After that time, it is the homeowners' responsibility.
A newsletter will be sent out to residents asking them to take care of the sod.
Scott Prebish, 740 Bennett Drive, came forward and stated that he did not have an issue with the
assessment but the j ob they have done is not completed yet. He asked when it would be done.
Mr. Haukaas stated that the only thing left in the proj ect is the final layer of asphalt. The City is
waiting for one good day of weather to complete this project. As for the assessment, that is
associated with the installation of the concrete curb and gutter. The street portion is a City cost.
The project will be done as weather permits. It is not unusual to leave the final coat of asphalt
of£ Many cities that have poor soil, unlike Fridley, do that as a standard practice. He said they
hoped to put the final layer of asphalt down yet this year, depending on the weather.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 9
Mr. Prebish stated that after the first layer, they made a mistake and did a crown and had to
come back and dig it all out. Now there is a pretty good size dip so if the project is not done
before the plows come through, they will just tear up the road. Prior to the street being torn out,
there was standing water near the corner. There was no drainage put in that corner, and with the
dip and lower road, it will not drain correctly around the corner.
Mr. Haukaas answered that the swale that was created should create cross drainage. Quincy
goes to the north and turns west into Bennett Drive at that corner. The drainage flow is to the
north across that intersection. That correction dealt with the water problem Mr. Prebish referred
to. We do not install or extend storm sewer unless absolutely necessary because that is a major
cost and assessed back to the residence in addition to the street proj ect.
Mr. Prebish commented on the sod issue and that the contractor was to be watering for 30 days.
He said the contractor showed up for one week After that, they saw them one day the following
week and have not seen them since. The first week they showed up twice a day. After 7 days,
the water truck did not come any more.
Mr. Haukaas said if there is a problem in the spring, the sod will need to be replaced by the
contractor.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that Mr. Prebish should request his area to be reviewed in the
spring if there are sod issues.
Jon Falldin, 201 69th Ave. NE, stated that his assessment was $6,138 and before this evening,
they said it would be about $4,800. He said they replaced the curb three times and asked if that
added to the increase in price.
Mr. Haukaas stated that the replacement of the curb had nothing to do with any additional
assessment. Mr. Falldin's driveway was done for the cost of $4,617 and the curb was $1,385.
Mr. Falldin said the City put in the first 8 feet of his neighbor's driveway and they went to a
private contractor to finish it. He asked if he was paying for the 8 feet plus the remainder of the
driveway and how the price was figured out.
Mr. Haukaas answered that the curb assessment is just for installation of the curb along the
street. The driveway is for the entire driveway to the curb.
Mr. Falldin asked what his cost will be.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that $1,388.40 is the cost of the curb and gutter and the
driveway is $4,617. A letter will be sent out with the totals.
Fred Mykkanen, 6840 Jefferson Street NE, has a problem with the patchwork by his rock box
in the driveway. He understands there is a 2 year warranty. He was asking who to call for
warranty work.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 10
Mr. Haukaas stated that Joe Maloney should be contacted. If there was no answer from Mr.
Maloney, they should contact Layne Otteson.
Mayor Lund stated that if residents were not getting satisfaction, they should contact City staff.
Michael Young, 6730 Quincy Street NE, stated that he was not objecting to the assessment, but
had an issue with the driveway. Mr. Maloney has been out. There is a big dip and creases where
they used two different rollers. Also when the sod installer came to work on the property, he
pulled up on the driveway and scuffed the driveway. They are working on the issue, but he
wanted to have it on file.
MOTION by Mayor Lund to accept the letter from Mr. Young regarding the concerns about his
driveway. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Kelly Pogatchnik, 1531 Trapp Court (6360 Jackson Street rental property), objected to
unauthorized construction and unreasonable charges from Park Construction regarding electrical
repair work done during the driveway replacement at this house. On August 31, Park
Construction removed the driveway except for the apron around the garage which was cement
that needed to be cut of£ On September 1, Park Construction had someone come out and saw
off the cement portion which is when they had inadvertently cut the electrical conduit and cable
running from the house to the garage. Joe Maloney called Mr. Pogatchnik and said they had cut
the cable and he would have to find an electrician. Mr. Pogatchnik did not know whose
responsibility it would be to fix the problem. Mr. Maloney stated that the wire was wired wrong
and was not up to code. Mr. Pogatchnik told Mr. Maloney that it was his fault for cutting the
cable and that his company would need to fix it. Mr. Maloney hired Kilmer Electric to fix the
electrical work which started on September 11. The issue came up on October 10 when Layne
Otteson called and told Mr. Pogatchnik that he would be charged for the electrical repair. On the
20th, Jon Haukaas, Mr. Pogatchnik, Kilmer Electric, and Joe Maloney met and talked about the
problem. The president of Park Construction apparently talked to Jon Haukaas and proposed to
pay $124.67 and Mr. Pogatchnik pay the balance of $1,000. Mr. Pogatchnik asked for the
rationale behind the numbers and they responded that it was a nice round number and they were
trying to be kind by giving Mr. Pogatchnik a discount. The president of Park Construction said
that if it wasn't settled soon that he would turn Mr. Pogatchnik in to the Minnesota State Rental
Board for having illegal wiring. He said his rental property was inspected when it was purchased
and passed rental inspection. Mr. Pogatchnik proposed that he get three bids from electrical
contractors in the area and that Park Construction pay the difference of the current charge to the
lowest bid. He said there was no obj ection by Jon Haukaas at that time. He said he got three bids
and they ranged from $807.90 to $350.00. He asked Council to agree that this was a reasonable
and fair means to the resolution of this issue and that Park Construction split the charge. Mr.
Pogatchnik offered to pay $350.00 and Park Construction pay the balance of $774.67. He asked
that his $350 be added to his assessment for tax purposes. He said he did not authorize the work
and did not find any authorization or quotes prior to the construction. Park Construction verbally
agreed to the arrangement and he feels they are ultimately responsible for the bill. He said he
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 11
was never told by Park or the City that he would be charged for the electrical work until now.
Mistakes were made that he is being charged for. Mr. Pogatchnik is uncertain as to the depth of
the cable that was cut. There is enough evidence that the cable may have been improperly
buried. Mr. Pogatchnik does not think the electrical work should be done for free, but that the
electrical work that Kilmer Electric did was done poorly. Mr. Pogatchnik was offended by the
comments that were made and asked Council for approval or recommendation.
Mayor Lund said it sounds like a number of things are going on.
Mr. Haukaas stated that these charges are being added to his driveway assessment as part of the
work being done to install that driveway so the electrical bill is in his driveway assessment. Park
Construction was essentially hired to do Mr. Pogatchnik's driveway. When they went to remove
the apron, the electrical service was less than one foot deep at the bottom of the concrete apron.
That is why it was cut when they tore out the apron. When a Park Construction representative
called Mr. Pogatchnik, he initially said that he needed to hire an electrician; Mr. Pogatchnik
responded that it was Park's problem and they needed to deal with it. As far as responsibility,
Joe Maloney from Park Construction was referring to his responsibility to get an electrician. Mr.
Pogatchnik was referring to responsibility to pay for the repairs. Mr. Pogatchnik would have
liked more notice and an option to do the work himself if he was going to be charged for it. Park
Construction waited extra time to get his signed contract and essentially made a special trip to do
the removals. Park coordinated getting Kilmer Electric out there because they respond and get
the work done when you ask them to. Part of the labor was trying to salvage what was there so
they did not have to re-pour all new conduits. Kilmer Electric did fix the problem, sent the bill
to Park Construction and that was passed through to Mr. Pogatchnik The total is 13 hours at
$85.00 an hour plus $20.00 in materials. This should not be the taxpayers' expense and the issue
is who should pay for this. Park Construction does not feel they should be responsible for doing
a private driveway they were told to deal with the problem, so they did.
Councilmember Barnette suggested Mr. Pogatchnik contact Anoka County Mediation Services
that are available free of charge.
Mayor Lund stated that Mediation Services will not help him tonight.
Mr. Haukaas stated that this is a situation that Mr. Pogatchnik could take out that dollar amount
of the assessment, but if he needed to pay the repair, he would need to pay that amount in full.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that Mr. Pogatchnik thought Park Construction would take
care of the problem and pay for it. Park Construction said they did not say they would pay for it.
She questioned how they should settle the issue.
Mr. Haukaas stated that Park Construction feels they acted in good faith. They got the j ob done
and coordinated the job. There was miscommunication.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if Park was doing a job for the City and cut an electrical wire,
who would be responsible to pay for the repair.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 12
Mr. Haukaas stated that it would depend on the situation.
Mayor Lund suggested removing $1,100 from the assessment and allow Mr. Pogatchnik to
work out the differences with Park Construction. Whatever the final outcome would be, Mr.
Pogatchnik would be responsible to pay the amount in full. This could be the entire amount of
$1,100.
Mr. Pogatchnik asked what the timeline would be on the balance.
Mayor Lund answered that if the $1,100 was taken off of the assessment, Park Construction
payment would be withheld as well. It would be best for a resolution to happen within 30 days.
Mr. Pogatchnik stated that this is rental property and is capital dependent. If the amount was
$350 to $550 he would be okay with that amount. He would not be able to pay $1,100. He said
he is confident they will come to a reasonable solution based on what he has seen so far.
Mayor Lund stated that the amount will be withheld from the contractor, so there should be an
incentive to settle this issue. Mr. Pogatchnik would be responsible for the balance.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if it would be a good idea for Mr. Pogatchnik to leave the
entire amount in the assessment, and once there is a deduction it will be taken off before the final
billing. That way if Mr. Pogatchnik was not able to reduce the amount, he would not have to
come up with the $1,100 in full.
Mr. Pribyl stated the assessment could be treated as a prepayment in the 30-day window period
as long as the amount is identified in this discussion.
Mayor Lund clarified that they would certify the full amount which would include the $1,100
electrical bill. If issues get resolved and the amount can be reduced, they would deduct that from
the assessment by adding a prepayment.
Attorney Knaak stated that it was a creative solution. If Mr. Pogatchnik is assessed the full
amount, he will have to raise the objection to appeal the amount. In the meantime, this will give
him some time to come to a resolution. He will need to object to the assessment tonight if he
wants to appeal the amount at a later date. If a resolution is reached in 30 days, the amount
would be taken off of his assessment. If an agreement is not reached, he could appeal this to the
district.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that if this is the best solution and everyone agrees with it, it
sounded good to him.
Mayor Lund asked how this would work Park Construction is not here to defend themselves.
If Mr. Pogatchnik does not get resolution in 30 days, he would need to appeal to the district court
which would cost $265 plus serving fees. The other alternative is to make the full assessment,
the City withholds payment to Park Construction, and hopefully resolution of this matter will
happen in 30 days.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 13
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that Mr. Pogatchnik will not lose anything by leaving the
entire assessment in there. This would let him finance the amount over the next 10 years. If we
take the amount out, Mr. Pogatchnik will be responsible to pay the full amount.
Mr. Pogatchnik stated that he would prefer to leave the amount in the assessment.
Tom Hunt, 6700 Kennaston Drive, stated that he signed a contract that there was a one year
warranty on the driveway. During the conversation tonight, people are talking about a two-year
warranty.
Mr. Haukaas stated he would need to check his records.
Mr. Hunt stated that in the contract it explains that if there were defects, it would be warranted.
The City engineer would have the final decision to fix or not fix the defects. He asked what
would be under warranty under the contract.
Mayor Lund advised him to see the engineer if there were defects.
Councilmember Barnette stated that he spoke with Mr. Hunt on the phone and mentioned that
he had a$7,000 assessment. This assessment includes the driveway.
Mr. Hunt just wanted to know what would be covered under warranty and for defects and asked
if the City charged an administration fee.
Mr. Haukaas stated the City does not charge an administration fee. The City Engineer has the
final decision in the determination of defects. The City did not see anything that needed a
determination, so nothing separate was written. The warranty is for the work on the driveway.
The City asked for two years and would hold the contractor to a two-year warranty.
Mr. Hunt asked if he had a one or two-year contract on his driveway.
Mayor Lund said there is two-year contract.
Mr. Hunt stated that he still has an issue on a scar in the driveway. When the contractor came
and put the curing compound on, the driveway was not entirely dry and there are some foot
prints from the installer on the driveway. He can live with it but would like to see a deduction or
repair.
Mr. Haukaas stated that they have had a discussion with the contractor and have asked the
contractor to work with the homeowner to come to a resolution and bring the solution to staff.
Mr. Hunt stated that the City does not give credit for the bottom of the driveway. There is more
than $200 difference. In his case it is $518. He asked for the City to take a look at it. He said he
did not feel the city spent $500 in working with his driveway.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if Mr. Pogatchnik wanted this objection into the record.

Richard Pribyl, Finance Director, stated the proj ect pertains to the street milling and overlay on
the 2006-3 project. This project pertains to 21 properties on the Matterhorn and 73rd Avenue
areas. Total assessed cost including the driveway portion is $148,141.29. Similar to the other
assessments, there is a 10-year assessment period at 6'/z% interest. The resolution will follow
the public hearings.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the assessment on this mill and overlay is relatively new.
Mr. Haukaas replied that this is the first year of this assessment policy for mill and overlay
projects. Essentially any reconstruction project that is not directly related to the installation of
new concrete curb and gutter would fall under this assessment policy.

Robert Hartley, attorney for Mr. Amro at 59 Rice Creek Way, presented a statutory objection
from Mr. Amro.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to submit the letter from Mr. Amro dated October 23,
2006, info the records. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Attorney Hartley stated this involves the sod in Mr. Amro's front yard. There had been
discussion back and forth with the City. Mr. Amro was given an extension to have his front yard
sod installed on June 12. The morning of June 12, City officials were at the front yard and Mr.
Amro had made arrangements that he was going to go and pick up the sod. The City had also
hired another company called Complete Grounds Maintenance and had arranged that company to
take a preliminary look at the property and see what was needed. The morning of June 12, Mr.
Amro indicated that he was going to sod the property. He had people ready to lay the sod. Mr.
Amro left to get the sod and when he came back the Complete Grounds Maintenance people
were there putting the sod in. Mr. Amro indicated to them to stop what they were doing.
Complete Grounds Maintenance called the police, the police called the City and there was some
communication back and forth. It was decided that Complete Grounds Maintenance would pick
up the sod they had laid and let Mr. Amro lay the sod he picked up. Mr. Amro is being assessed
$985 for sod, $250 for the initial evaluation of the property by Complete Grounds Maintenance
and $975 for 13 hours of staff time. The Complete Grounds Maintenance invoice indicated that
the City purchased 5 pallets of sod, started installing sod and the j ob was cancelled per the City.
Time and materials were to be billed to the City. Mr. Amro is asking that he not pay the invoice
or the $250 initial evaluation of the property. Mr. Amro is also asking for a better understanding
of the 13 hours of staff time he is being billed for.
Mayor Lund asked if staff had documentation of this event. Was it correct that June 12 was the
last day of the extension and that happened to be the day that Mr. Amro decided to complete the
job.
Julie Jones, City Planner, distributed a time line to Council and Mr. Amro.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to enter into the record the information from Julie Jones
titled 59 Rice Creek Way. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 16
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Ms. Jones stated that the deadline for completing the sod for the rear yard was June 5 and that
was an earlier extension that was given to Mr. Amro. At that time, it was discovered that the
front yard was also excavated and at that time Mr. Hickok gave Mr. Amro until June 12 to finish
the front yard. When staff arrived on June 12, the sod had not been done which is why staff
proceeded to have the sod installed that morning.
Attorney Hartley stated that there were a couple different issues that were involved with the
back yard. The back yard had its own type of issue and the front yard was separate from that.
The back and side yard were dealt with in another matter. The grading and sod installation of the
front yard was to be done by June 12.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that this was an abatement which
happens after a series of correspondence, time given, and deadlines set. This was a situation
where a deadline was set. The rear yard had been severely excavated without the benefit of a
grading or land operation permit on Mr. Amro's property. This property is on a lakeshore so Mr.
Amro also needs watershed approval before he works on the property. Mr. Amro had been given
a number of extensions. Mr. Amro agreed that anything that was not done on June 12 would be
and could be completed by the City. Mr. Amro was long overdue. The last deadline had past
and the City gave him one more deadline to complete the j ob over the weekend. Mr. Amro said
when you come back on June 12, the City can complete if it is not done. On June 12, the sub
grade was neatly groomed but there was no sod placed or there to be laid. Our landscape
contractor had been on the site and had put sod on order because we told the contractor we would
be doing an abatement if and when we got there and it was not done. The morning of June 12,
Mr. Amro came to the site and asked for an extension until after lunch to get the front yard sod
laid. The City held off and at 12:30 the contractor started to sod the yard. Mr. Amro came back
and found the contractor in the yard and began throwing sod out into the street. Mr. Amro chose
to order his own load of sod even though the contractor was there. Mr. Amro would have been
better to just let the contractor finish the job. Mr. Amro in his haste and anger decided to order
his own load of sod and have it delivered to the site.
Mayor Lund commented that he was surprised that the police pulled the contractor off the j ob.
Mr. Hickok stated that the police thought it was better to have the contractor get off the
property. The police thought it was best to defuse the situation and order City staff to leave.
Mayor Lund asked if Mr. Amro came to find the city staff there and then ordered the sod.
Mr. Hickok stated that Mr. Amro came home mid-morning and after there was no sod by mid-
morning, staff was extremely tolerant and allowed him until 12:30 p.m. After lunch, the sod still
had not arrived.
Councilmember Wolfe asked if this all happened on June 12.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 17
Mayor Lund commented that Mr. Amro was given the weekend to get the j ob done, nothing
was done on Monday and Mr. Amro asked for an extension until lunch.
Attorney Hartley answered that the sod was ordered and not delivered in the morning. The sod
could not be delivered early in the morning so Mr. Amro went to pick it up.
Mayor Lund asked Mr. Amro if this was what happened.
Mr. Amro answered that he called Scott Hickok in the morning and told him the sod could not
be delivered and asked for an extension until after lunch. Mr. Amro had six guys waiting to lay
the sod. When the truck did not show up, Mr. Amro decided to go and get the sod.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked when Mr. Amro ordered the sod for the front yard.
Mr. Amro stated that he ordered the sod the same time he ordered the sod for the back yard.
When the sod did not come Monday, they did what they had to do.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked when the sod was supposed to be delivered.
Mr. Amro replied that the sod could not be delivered on Sunday. That is why he asked for an
extension and the City showed up on Monday to install the sod.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked for clarification that the sod could not be delivered on Sunday.
Mr. Amro stated that everything was ready for the delivery. He was trying to communicate but
when he came back with the sod, the City had installed 4 rows of sod. He asked them to pick up
the sod and leave. They did not have Mr. Amro's permission to lay the sod. Scott told him no
problem; he would get them out of there. By the time the cops arrived there, 75% of the yard
was done and Mr. Amro could not reach Scott. He had told Scott previously that he would have
the yard ready for sod Monday and if the sod was not delivered they could do it. He did ask for
an e�tension until after lunch but did not arrive back with the sod on time so the City started the
job.
Mayor Lund asked Mr. Amro if he thought the taxpayers should pay for the time and money
spent on this issue because he waited until the last second to complete the job.
Mr. Amro answered that he pulled the permit and finished the job. It was all completed. All
that was left was the front yard. These are two separate issues and it took two days to complete.
Mayor Lund stated that a lot more is involved. He understood that Mr. Amro was not aware he
needed to pull a permit.
Mr. Amro said the tree fell on the house and he wanted to remove the tree and stump.
Councilmember Bolkcom commented that the back yard involved more than stump removal.
The entire back yard was excavated.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 18
Mr. Amro replied that he had a bobcat remove the stumps. The City showed up and gave him a
ticket. They told him he could not do excavation without a permit. He took photographs and
pulled a permit and the City gave him time to complete the work The yard was ready and the
building inspector came out and said he had two days to finish the job. Mr. Amro thought they
should have asked when the job could be completed. He thought two days was unreasonable.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that when you get a building permit, you do not have a year to
complete the work.
Attorney Hartley asked to get back to the issue of the bill for the sod and City staff time.
Mayor Lund stated that Mr. Amro was given ample time to do the work that was needed.
Obvious code violations have taken place and there were several options to correct the problems.
Mr. Amro did not take any action and this is not the first abatement and not the first time Mr.
Amro has worked without permits. There is a history of code enforcement issues. Mr. Amro did
more than just remove a stump. He chose to dig out the back yard and to excavate the entire
yard. Mr. Amro asked for one last extension until noon and said if it was not done, the City
could complete the work.
Mr. Hickok stated that excavating the back yard on lake front property can create an erosion
problem. Excavating the front yard could expand the risk of erosion. That is why the back yard
and front yard are connected in this abatement process.
Mayor Lund asked if Mr. Amro understood that the abatement was for the entire property, not
just the back yard.
Mr. Amro answered that he cut a tree down in the front yard and it looked awful. There was a
huge stump in the front yard and he would need to hire a contractor to take out all the trees.
There was enough soil to elevate the lawn.
Mayor Lund asked what was done with the sod from Mr. Amro's lawn that was removed.
Mr. Hickok answered that he was not sure what was done with the sod.
Attorney Hartley stated that the contractor probably took the sod back and used it again.
Mr. Hickok stated that sod farms do not take sod back once it is sold.
Mr. Amro stated that he was trying to get a hold of the contractor to hold off on the sod.
Mr. Hickok stated Mr. Amro asked for an extension until noon and that was granted.
Councilmember Wolfe stated that if Mr. Amro was given an extension until June 12 to
complete the job, June 12th ends at 11:59 p.m. If an extension was granted, he had the entire day
to complete the job.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 19
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that Mr. Amro had a discussion with staff and said if the sod
was not laid in the morning; the City could go ahead and complete the job. In the morning when
the sod was not there, Mr. Amro asked if he could have until noon to get the sod. At 12:30 the
City started laying the sod.
Mr. Hickok stated the City understood that if it was not done by noon on June 12, the City
would complete it. When no sod was delivered by 12:30, the City started the job.
Mayor Lund stated that Mr. Amro made an honest attempt to take care of the yard. This
certified property also has unpaid water and sewer bills. An officer had the contractor pulled off
the job and the sod was not a total waste. Staff time was justified at $975 and the pre-visit from
the contractor for $250 in services are legitimate charges. The $980 sod bill could be retracted.
Mayor Lund suggested Mr. Amro pay the entire bill less the $980 for the sod. This is an
extremely generous offer on behalf of the City. In addition, Council would ask for Mr. Amro to
pay his utility bill.
Mr. Amro replied that he feels his property is being picked on because his neighbors' yards are
also not in good shape.
Mayor Lund answered that if he had a legitimate complaint, he should ask staff to look into the
situation.
Mr. Hickok stated that they are not treating Mr. Amro any different than any other abatement
process.
Councilmember Bolkcom stated that this is a different situation because he was excavating the
entire back yard potentially creating a hazard to Locke Lake and the Mississippi. This is a
different situation but an honest mistake. The neighbors had even asked Mr. Amro to stop
digging.
Mayor Lund proposed that the bill be deducted for the sod and to split the administration costs.
Councilmember Bolkcom asked why we would split the administration charges. Mr. Amro
should be responsible to pay the penalties and staff time. He had ample time to fix the situation
and he should not have waited until the last minute to resolve the issue. The original extension
was until June 5. It was then extended to June 12 and then until noon on June 12. City staff
should not have to be taking care of his property.
MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilmember Wolfe.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 11:37 P.M.
Mayor Lund stated that the delinquent $688 in utility bills will be assessed to the property taxes
if not paid in full.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF OCTOBER 23, 2006 PAGE 20
Mr. Amro asked why the City added $250 for an automatic reader meter.
Mayor Lund stated that Mr. Amro was charged repeated times because a reader needed to be
sent to the property to read the meter. The new meter can be read from the street. A card is sent
out to residents, they must fill out the card with the meter reading before the water bill is paid.
The utility bill is certified to add to the bill and will charge $250 for auto reader for people who
do not pay on time or do not send in meter readings.

Second Reading of Text Amendment TA #06-02, Appeals Commission Substitutes
Background
On October 23, 2006, the City Council completed the first reading of text amendment TA # 06-02. This text
amendment was initiated to address concerns that the City incorporate into code a longstanding policy where
Planning Commission members substitute for Appeals Commission members when a quorum is lacking for
meetings. Such language e�sts for Planning Commission substitutes in Chapter 6, but not in the Appeals
Commission section of the Chapter.
The practice of substituting members when a quorum is lacking allows the City to meet 60-day action law
requirements on land use items and also provide good customer service. As we are often struggling, like we
are currently, to reach a quorum for meetings with a vacancy on the Appeals Commission, a substitute plan is
necessary.
No additional recommendations for further review or changes to this text amendment were suggested at the
first reading at the last Council meeting.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct the second reading of the ordinance approving text
amendment TA #06-02 regarding the Appeals Commission substitutes process as written at the November 13
City Council meeting.

An Ordinance: Second Reading to Amend Ch. 114 Junk Vehicles (TA #06-03)
M-06-131
INTRODUCTION
Staff noticed several months ago that our procedures and agreement for the disposal of junk
vehicles with Shorty's, the City's contracted towing company, did not match the language in
Chapter 114 of City Code. Staff inet with the City's land use attorney, Fritz Knaak. He
recommended that the code be updated to match our current practice.
Staff proposes amending Chapter 114 to update portions to align the code language with
current practices for the disposal of junk vehicles. Additionally, the staff proposes the following
changes to the existing code: (1) removing references to a code enforcement officer that no
longer exists; and (2) revising references to State Statute numbers to protect the meaning of
City Code in the event that State Statute numbers are changed; and (3) discontinuing a
requirement to auction towed vehicles.
The proposed text amendment aligns the three procedures described above with staff's existing
operational practices.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION
The Council held a public hearing, to amend Ch. 114 Junk Vehicles, on September 25, 2006.
The Council held a first reading, to amend Ch. 114 Junk Vehicles, on October 23, 2006. Council
member Bolkcom recommended that Section114.02.2 be simplified. The recommended change
is reflected in the attached draft of the code. Staff has verified with the City attorney that this
change maintains the intent of the section.
STAFF RECOM M ENDATION
Staff recommends the Council consider the proposed ordinance TA #06-03, which amends
Chapter 114, Junk Vehicles, of Fridley City Code, to align current code language with existing
vehicle towing practices. The second reading of the ordinance will be held at the November 13,
2006, City Council meeting.
ORDINANCE NO. _
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 114 OF THE FRIDLEY CITY CODE
PERTAINING TO ABANDONED JUNK OR UNSAFE MOTOR VEHICLES
The City of Fridley does ordain that Chapter 114 of the Fridley City Code is amended to include
language that aligns with existing vehicle towing practices to read as follows:
FRIDLEY CITY CODE
CHAPTER 114. ABANDONED JUNK OR UNSAFE MOTOR VEHICLES
(Ref. 295, 1068, 1093)
114.01. PURPOSE
Abandoned junk and unsafe motor vehicles constitute a hazard to the health and welfare of the
residents of the community in that such vehicles can harbor noxious diseases, furnish shelter and
breeding places for vermin, and present physical dangers to the safety and well being of children
and other citizens. Motor vehicles contain fluids that if released into the environment can and do
cause significant health risks to the community. The condition of vehicles that are junked and
abandoned, junk or unsafe significantly increase the likelihood that these dangerous fluids might
be so released. Abandoned, junk or unsafe motor vehicles and other scrap metals also constitute
blight on the landscape of the city and therefore are detrimental to the environment. The
abandonment and retirement of motor vehicles and other scrap metal constitutes a waste of a
valuable source of useful metal. It is therefore in the public interest that the present accumulation
of abandoned, junk or unsafe motor vehicles and other scrap metals be eliminated, that future
abandonment of motor vehicles and other scrap metals be prevented, t?��t t�� en��r���� �€
�ti::,�:x�� :,�xu�, �e:,y�:,x��.� u:,x�t�x�� �� ��������,�u� and that other acceptable and economically
useful methods for the disposal of abandoned junk or unsafe motor vehicles and other forms of
scrap metal be utilized d��������. (Ref. 1093)
114.02. DEFINITIONS

condition such that it has no substantial potential for further use consistent with its usual
functions, unless it is kept in an enclosed garage or storage building. It shall also mean a motor
vehicle voluntarily surrendered by its owner to the City or a duly authorized agent of the City. A
classic car or pioneer car, as defined in Minnesota Statutes, ������-��16��: �� shall not be
considered an abandoned motor vehicle within the meaning of this Section.
2. Unsafe Motor Vehicle.

holidays for the following reasons:
A. When such vehicle is parked and/or used in violation of any law, ordinance or
regulation; or
B. When such vehicle is abandoned, junk or unsafe.
114.04. VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY SUBJECT TO PUBLIC SALE
When an abandoned motor vehicle is more than seven (7) model years of age, lacks vital
component parts and does not display a license plate currently valid in Minnesota or in any other

relocate the vehicle in accordance with local state and federal regulations. The owner or
lienholder reclaiming such vehicle shall sign a"Release of Property" and shall agree to
immediate impoundment without notice if such vehicle again violates this section. In addition,

1. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Vacation, SAV #06-02, by City of Fridley HRA, for a street
vacation for portions of 3rd Street, 57t'' Place, 57 �/z Avenue NE in between 2 �/z Street
and University Avenue, generally located in the Hyde Park Neighborhood.
MOTION by Commissioner Kondrick to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner
Oquist.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED
THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 7:31 P.M.
Rachel Harris, Environmental Planner, stated for this vacation the Fridley Housing and
Redevelopment Authority is seeking to vacate portions of 57th Place, 57'/z Street and 3rd Street
lying easterly of 2'/z Street NE and terminating at the University Avenue right-of-way. This
vacation will accommodate the plat of Gateway West, Second Addition, redevelopment project.
This property is currently owned by the City of Fridley and the Fridley HRA. The residual land
after the vacation will be used in the Gateway West Second Addition plat and is comprised of
vacated right-of-way. The street vacation parcels are located in the Gateway West Second
Addition. The First Addition is the northern portion of the plat and the Second Addition is the
southern section of the Gateway West plat.
Ms. Harris stated the Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat for the Gateway West
redevelopment project on November 2, 2005; and the City Council approved the preliminary plat
on November 21, 2005. In previous Commission and Council action, the Council approved the
Blaine builder, Blue Print Homes, in 2005; and this builder will construct a total of 16 homes.
There will be 7 single-family homes in the First Addition of the Gateway West plat and then
there will be 9 single-family homes in the Second Addition of the Gateway West plat. Problems
did arise with the legal description on the Second Addition.
Ms. Harris stated the City Council decided to approve the First Addition, or northern block, of
the final plat. The builder already has completed construction on two homes and has begun three
others in the First Addition of the Gateway West plat. The Gateway West plat, Second Addition,
will be brought before the Council on November 13, 2006. Staff recommends approval of this
vacation request because this street vacation will allow continuation of the Gateway West
proj ect.
Commissioner Kuechle asked for a little history as to how this happened.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, replied this was a plat that goes back to the
turn of the century, pre-1900. In the process of platting the lower portion, the Second Addition
of the plat, it was determined there were residual pieces that were thought to have been vacated
at some time in the distant past but did not get vacated. In doing this and to provide the cleanest,
clearest plat possible, staff has recommended they go back and clear up any of these old pieces.
There are about three different ways the legal description has been interpreted on the vacation
and, as a result of that, the City's legal counsel, surveyor, and the Anoka County surveyor have
all gotten together and determined it was best to go through the vacation.
Commissioner Kondrick asked if anybody has written or called in any comments?
Mr. Hickok replied, no. The builder is very excited to have the southern lots for sale because
his sales are going very well.
Chairperson Savage asked whether there were any homes being taken down?
Mr. Hickok replied, no. This is the block that has already been cleared for the southern nine
units in the Gateway West. The homes are cleared and the land is cleared. The only thing left on
that southern block is the final plat and this cleanup vacation piece.
Dave Rust, 5735 Quincy Street NE, asked if Third Street is going to be closed?
2
Mr. Hickok replied Third Street will remain open. Nothing will look different after this
vacation. The piece that crosses Third Street is being done to make certain that all the records
are cleared.

Kondrick.

OTHER BUSINESS:
Ms. Harris stated at a recent Appeals Commission meeting, regarding 6106 Sixth Street,
Ms. Schween had requested a variance to move her garage. As a result of that, staff and the
Appeals Commission had recommended denial of the variance to be within 8 feet of the corner
instead of the required 17.5 feet.
Commissioner Kondrick asked if they have heard anything from Ms. Schween about relocating
her garage where she would not need a variance?
Ms. Harris stated she heard Ms. Schween left a voicemail on Ms. Stromberg's phone stating she
has withdrawn her variance request.
Ms. Harris stated there are four updates from the September 25, Council meeting. The Mayors
Climate Protection Agreement was addressed at that meeting. Council reviewed the resolution
and tabled the item. They requested that staff work with the two residents who brought forth the
resolution to create a more generic document, one without references to a j oint democrat-
republication version of climate protection. There is a bill before Congress and they did not
want any reference to that. They also wanted to remove any reference to the KYOTO protocol.
Also there is a need to emphasize that the City is going to work towards emission reduction
measures as time and staff permit. They still want to bring it back at the next Council meeting
and review the revised document at that point.
Ms. Harris stated that for the SUP #06-04, Brent Anderson d/b/a BDA Development Company,
the Council did approve the SUP and followed the Commission's recommendation. Also,
Chapter 114, Junk Vehicle, Text Amendment #06-03, that was a public hearing at the last
Council meeting on September 25. Lastly, the plat #06-01, that was submitted by John Alum of
Industrial Equities was approved as submitted.
�
Mr. Hickok stated regarding the Central Auto Parts item came through the process recently and
was before the Council to have their special use permit reconsidered because of non-compliance
with some of the stipulations that were placed on the project back in 2003. As a result of that,
the old special use permits were revoked. There is a new special use permit, very tightly written,
that they believe will lead to some very good things. There has been a great deal of cooperation
from the owner of the property to sell the property to the operator of the land, and the operator
has given the City a commitment to meeting this series of deadline. That will be the complete
site plan including parking, storage areas, screening, and land alteration permit would be
submitted yet this year. There will be a landscape plan including irrigation for staff review and
approval which would happen this year. They will install a first phase grading and drainage plan
by June 1, 2007. They are going to have a very large holding pond in the center of where the
existing yard is at Central Auto Parts that will need to be installed by June 1, 2007. Screening
fence on the south side needs to be moved back, it was set out too far on the public right-of-way,
and the City has asked them to improve that to match consistently all the way around so there is
not different types of fences. They were going to install a second phase of grading and drainage
which includes curb, gutter, asphalt, and landscaping around the remainder of the site so that it
will no longer be gravel. Also, install landscaping and irrigation by June 1, 2008. Finally, the
stipulation that they follow all City code associated with the business, not limited to outdoor
storage, parking, screening and drainage. Any violation of these stipulations could cause that
business to have its special use revoked and the business to be done in that location. The City is
optimistic that all is going well, they are going to meet that deadline, and have a very improved
version of Central Auto Parts by 2008.

MOTION by Commissioner Kondrick, seconded by Commissioner Oquist, to approve the
minutes as presented.
UPON A UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED.
1. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP#06-09, by Amtech Lighting, to allow a
changeable electronic sign in a C-1 zoning district at the property, generally located
at 6485 East River Road NE.
MOTION by Commissioner Kondrick to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner
Kuechle.
UPON A UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE HEARING OPENED AT 7:32 P.M.
Julie Jones, Planning Coordinator, stated the petitioner is Amtech Lighting on behalf of Croix
Oil Company. The petitioner is requesting a special use permit to have an automatic changeable
sign for the gasoline pricing portion of their new freestanding sign at the BP gas station at 6485
East River Road. This sign has already been installed due to a staff oversight. Once the sign
was installed, staff immediately brought it to the attention of the sign contractor and they did
respond immediately as well as the property owner and did everything within their power to get
staff an application right away at the next available deadline and have been very apologetic about
the oversight themselves.
Ms. Jones stated the freestanding sign is right on the corner of the property which is zoned G1
Local Business so the commercial sign requirements in our sign code apply to this property. The
station store was built in 1991. The sign permit for the existing freestanding sign was issued this
past July, and the sign was installed some time later. Staff is pleased with the appearance of the
new sign. The automatic changeable signs are an approved special use in our sign code in any
zoning district except residential. The sign message on these types of signs is only allowed to
change once every 45 seconds. The existing sign is 79.65 square feet (just within the 80 foot
maximum allowed for this type of zoned district). The sign is located more than 50 feet from the
residential district both across East River Road and directly to the east of this property. That
LED portion of the sign can only be used for numbers for gas pricing. It cannot feasibly be used
to display a word message.
Ms. Jones stated staff does recommend approval of this special use permit #06-09 with
stipulations not that the proposal does meet all the requirements within the sign code. The
stipulations proposed are standard to these types of special use permits and are as follows:
1. Petitioner shall obtain sign permit and current sign erector license prior to
installing any signage on the site.
2. Message on L.E.D. section of sign cannot change more often than allowed by City
Code.
The message on LED section on the sign can never flash or have motion that may
distract vehicular traffic in the area.
Duane Downey, Amtech Lighting, and Kevin Koenig, Croix Oil Company, approached.
Mr. Downey stated the L.E.D. lighting is the growing trend in the gas station business because of
the liability of the old changeable copy letters.
Commissioner Kondrick asked them whether they were okay with the stipulations.
Mr. Downey and Mr. Koenig both replied, yes.
Commissioner Savage asked Ms. Jones whether staff has heard any adverse comments about
this.
Ms. Jones replied, no.
No one else was present at the hearing to address the Commission on this item.
MOTION by Commissioner Saba to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner
Kondrick.

UPON A UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE HEARING CLOSED AT 7:38 P.M.
MOTION by Commissioner Saba approving Special Use Permit, SP#06-09, by Amtech
Lighting, to allow a changeable electronic sign in a G1 zoning district at the property, generally
located at 6485 East River Road NE with stipulations as submitted. Seconded by Commissioner
Kondrick.
UPON A UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED.
2. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP#06-10, by Amtech Lighting, to allow a
changeable electronic sign in a C-2 zoning district at the property, generally located
at 5695 Hackmann Avenue NE.
MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner
Kondrick.
UPON A UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE HEARING OPENED AT 7:39 P.M.
Julie Jones, Planning Coordinator, stated the petitioner is requesting a special use permit to have
an automatic changeable sign for the gasoline pricing portion of an existing freestanding sign at
the Holiday station store at 5695 Hackmann Avenue NE. This property has been used as a
service station since the 1950's and is zoned C-2, General Business, so the commercial sign
requirements of the sign code would apply. The current station store was built in 1999, and a
sign permit for the existing freestanding sign was issued that same year. Petitioner is proposing
to replace the pricing portion of the sign.
Ms. Jones stated Code allows automatic changeable signs as an approved special use in any
zoning district except residential. The sign message cannot change any more often than once
every 45 seconds. This existing sign is 77.5 square feet, so it is within the 80 square feet
maximum allowed for this zoning district for a freestanding sign. The sign is located more than
50 feet from the residential property to the south and the residential property to the east. The
sign is only capable of displaying pricing and is not capable of displaying word messages. Staff
recommends approval of this special use permit with the following stipulations:
1. Petitioner shall obtain sign permit and current sign erector license prior to
installing any signage on the site.
2. Message on L.E.D. section of sign cannot change more often than allowed by City
Code.
3. The message on LED section on the sign can never flash or have motion that may
distract vehicular traffic in the area.
3
Commissioner Kondrick asked if the City has thought about standardizing the size of the
numbers/letters?
Ms. Jones replied there has not been any discussion and her first thought is it would depend on
how close the sign is to the roadway and that may make it difficult to put a limitation on the size.
Mr. Downey approached as representative for Holiday Station stores. He stated it probably is
not a bad idea to limit the size, i.e. 30-inch letters, because they could get rather large.
Chairperson Savage asked if he had any problems with the stipulations?
Mr. Downey replied, none at all.
No one else in the audience chose to address the Commission on this issue.
MOTION by Commissioner Kondrick to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner
Kuechle.
UPON A UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE HEARING CLOSED AT 7:48 P.M.
MOTION by Commissioner Saba approving Special Use Permit, SP#06-10, by Amtech
Lighting, to allow a changeable electronic sign in a C-2 zoning district at the property, generally

Commissioner Kuechle.

REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY MEETING.
MOTION by Commissioner Kondrick, seconded by Commissioner Oquist, to approve the
minutes as presented.
UPON A UNANIMOUS VOICE VOTE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED.
OTHER BUSINESS:
Ms. Jones stated, for several months, staff has been working on Text Amendment 06-02 of the
City Code relating to the Commissions, particularly the section to the Appeals Commission and
substitutes for it. Because of the 60-day action law and wanting to keep applications moving
forward and meeting the 60-day requirement of processing them, when the City does not have a
quorum on either Planning Commission or Appeals Commission, they want to have substitutes
�
from the other fill in so there can still be a meeting. That is specified in Chapter 6 of the City
Code in regards to the Planning Commission but is not addressed under the Appeals
Commission. So even though it has been an ongoing policy, a couple of the councilmembers felt
that it should be put in writing. The City is proposing to state that at any meeting of the Appeals
Commission, if there is less than that a quorum present, the Chair of the Planning Commission or
the Chair's designee shall serve as a member of the Appeals Commission in that member's
absence. The Chair will be called first and then they will go down the line. The second reading
for this text amendment is expected November 13.
Ms. Jones also talked about another Text Amendment to Chapter 14 (Junk Vehicle Code) which
is coming back for Second Reading on November 13. This is regarding the City's contract with
the towing company to dispose of junked vehicles that do not get claimed. The Code actually
states that the City needs to sell those at public auction and they have not done that traditionally
for a number of years. So they are proposing a text amendment for the Code to actually match
what our actual practice is and our contract arrangement is with our contractor.
Ms. Jones stated that at the last Council meeting, they had the assessment hearing for public
nuisance abatements, which is capturing some folks' attention because the City does have a
record dollar amount of assessments for public nuisances this year. That is, in part, she thinks,
because the staff has been a little more aggressive on dealing with some of these problems that
we have out in the community, but do not get resolved by our standard practice of sending letters
and people voluntarily complying with outside storage issues, etc. A big part of why they are
seeing some higher numbers is because of the high number of foreclosures they have seen this
year in homes and a lot of people abandoning homes and leaving junk strewn in the yards, not
mowing their yards, and nobody taking responsibility for a number of months. The City has
about $28,000 of nuisance abatements that have not been paid that will now be assessed to the 30
properties that were involved.
ADJOURNMENT:
MOTION by Commissioner Oquist, seconded by Commissioner Saba, to adjourn the meeting.

Extension of SP #OS-04 to allow a telecommunications facility at 8290 Main Street
Background
City staff has received a request from Sprint to extend the term of the special use permit SP #OS-04 granted
by the City Council on December 5, 2005 to allow a telecommunications facility at a M-3 heavy industrial
site located at 8290 Main Street. Sprint, the petitioner, explains that they are having difficulty meeting two of
the stipulations of the special use permit related to grading and drainage of the site. They are in the process of
working with a second engineering firm to fnd a solution to the storm water runoff problems.
Staff has witnessed progress in regards to screening at the site, so there is evidence that the petitioner is
moving forward with the project.
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the City Council grant a 12-month extension to SP #OS-04 to allow the petitioner and
property owner more time to develop a storm water management plan.

Re: Sprint PCS Requesting an Extension of its SUP for 8290 Main Street
Dear Mr. Hickok:
On behalf of Sprint PCS, I would like to request a 90-day extension to the Special
Use Permit the City granted on December 5, 2005 (SP#OS-04), which allows a wireless
telecommunication facility (125' monopole) to be place at 8290 Main Street.
Sprint needs the extension because it is having difficult complying with the following
conditions:
13. A grading and drainage plan shall be submitted and approved by
City engineering staff prior to issuance of a building permit for the tower,
to alleviate existing storm water problems.
and
14. Necessary storm water flow controls and curing, as required in the
M-3 code, will be installed prior to issuance of a building permit for the
telecommunications tower.
Sprint is currently working with a second engineering design firm on a solution
for the existing storm water problem.
If you have any questions or if an extension is not possible, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 612-702-5065.
Sincerely,
Steve Edwards

Special Use Permit SP #06-09 for an electronic changeable sign at 6485 East River Rd.
Background
Amtech Lighting, as petitioner for Croix Oil Company, is requesting approval of a special use permit, under
Section 214.07 of the City of Fridley sign code, for an automatic changeable sign for the BP gas station
(formally a Spur gas station) at 6485 East River Road NE. The entire face of the 80 square foot, free-
standing, pylon sign at this gas station was recently replaced due to the change in the station's name.
In July of this year, staff had issued a sign permit for that free-standing sign, without recognition of the
electronic section of the sign.
As soon as the sign was installed, staff recognized the error and notified the sign contractor that a special use
permit is required in Fridley for electronic, changeable signs. The sign contractor and station owner
immediately worked to correct the error and submitted a special use permit application by the next deadline.
The petitioner's application is complete and the installed sign meets all of the applicable sign code
requirements.
Commission Action
The Planning Commission held a public hearing on this item on November 1. No one appeared from the
public to object. The Commission unanimously recommended approval of this special use permit with
the stipulations as recommended by staff in the attached report.
Recommendation
Staff concurs with the action of the Planning Commission to approve SP #06-09 for an electronic changeable
sign at 6485 East River Road.

Staff Report Prepared by: Julie Jones
SP #06-09 BP Gas Electronic Sign
Request
Amtech Lighting, as petitioner for Croix Oil Company, is requesting approval of a special use
permit, under Section 214.07 of the City of Fridley sign code, for an automatic changeable sign
for the BP gas station at 6485 East River Road NE. The entire face of the 80 square foot, free-
standing, pylon sign at this gas station was recently replaced due to the change in the station's
name. The sign contractor, Amtech Lighting, had labeled the L.E.D. portion of the proposed sign
face on the dimensional drawings submitted with the recent sign permit. However, staff failed to
recognize the notation on the drawings and approved the sign permit. The contractor had not
applied for a special use permit as required by Fridley City Code. When the sign was installed,
staff realized the error and need for special use permit and immediately contacted the sign
contractor. The Sign contractor promptly worked with their client to submit the special use
permit application by the next deadline.
Due to worker liability and the volatility of gasoline prices, we are seeing many gas stations
converting the gas pricing sections of existing pylon signs to these LED-type signs. The
manager of this station on East River Road explained to staff that the Minnesota climate also
makes it difficult to manually change prices — now sometimes several times a day — as the cold
weather makes the changeable panels brittle. Being close to a busy roadway also creates a
danger to motorists, as the changeable panels can easily fall and be taken by the wind.
Therefore, many store owners are choosing to convert existing manual changeable signs to the
LED-type to reduce their liability.
The property is zoned C-1, Local Business, so the commercial sign requirements apply to the
property. The petitioner had also recently received sign permits for the wall signs on the
property, but the pylon sign is the only sign that is referred to in this report.

The subject property was
originally platted in 1950, and, at
one time, included two separate
parcels. One parcel contained a
gas station, which was built in
1969. The other parcel contained
a single family home and garage,
which were later demolished to
made way for a Spur gas station,
which was built in 1991. In 1991,
the station owner was also
granted a new sign permit for the
former Spur pylon sign. The
current pylon sign was granted
by permit this past July and was
just recently installed.
Analysis
Automatic changeable signs are an approved special use in any zoning district, except
residential, provided the message does not change more often than once every 45 seconds.
The sign also needs to be in conformance with the sign requirements for that district. One of
these requirements is that the total square footage of a free standing sign cannot exceed 80 sq.
ft. in size. The newly-approved, existing pylon sign is 79.65 sq. ft. in size. It is the only free
standing sign on the property. A permit was issued for it on July 18, 2006, and it meets all of the
other current sign requirements for a commercial district. Although the sign does appear to be
placed in the public right of way, it is actually located 10' inside the property line, which is
between East River Road's curb and the outer edge of the sidewalk in the area of the sign base.
See the enclosed 1991 site plan drawings for more detail. Staff has also confirmed that the sign
is more than 50 feet from the residential areas around the property.
The new pylon sign is 79.65 square feet in size. The portion of the sign dedicated to the
electronic portion of the sign for pricing is 33.11 square feet of the total size. The petitioner has
indicated that the electronic portion of the sign is only capable of displaying numbers and
cannot be used for other types of word messages.
Previous pylon sign
Current newly installed pylon sign with electronic changeable section
Staff Recommendation
City Staff recommends approval of the special use permit for SP #06-09, with stipulations.
• Automatic changeable signs are an approved special use in the C-1 zoning district,
provided the message does not change more often than once every 45 seconds and
provided the total square footage of the free standing sign does not exceed 80 sq. ft.
per development.
Stipulations
Staff recommends the following stipulations be attached to the approval of the above land use
requests:
1. Petitioner shall obtain sign permit and current sign erector license prior to installing any
signage on site.
2. Message on L.E.D. section of sign cannot change more often than allowed by City Code.
3. Message on L.E.D. section of sign can never flash or have motion that may distract
vehicular traffic in area.

60 Day Date - November 27, 2006
Staff Report Prepared by: Rachel Harris
ANALYSIS
REQUEST
Amtech Lighting, as petitioner for Holiday Companies, is requesting a special use permit to
allow replacing the existing gas price sign with an electronic LED pricing sign. This property is
zoned C-2 for general business use. It is located at 5695 Hackmann Avenue and is currently
used as a Holiday Station Store.
Existing Gas Price Sign (Viewfrom Hackmann Ave looking south)
HISTORY
This property has been used as a service station since the 1950's. In 1975, the property was re-
zoned from C-1 to C-2, but the zoning maps were never updated. Though the City zoning maps
identify the property as being zoned C-1, the property in question is actually zoned C-2.
The current occupant, built in 1999, is a Holiday Station Store with an attached car wash
totaling approximately 4,466 square feet in size. Four fueling stations, with the ability to fuel up
to eight vehicles simultaneously, are located perpendicular to the store front. These fueling
islands are covered by an overhead canopy. The sign permit for the existing pylon sign was also
obtained in 1999.
ANALYSIS
Petitioner requests an SUP to allow an automatic changeable L.E.D. gas pricing sign in place of
the existing manually changeable gas pricing section of the existing pylon sign. The proposed
LED price sign is similar to an LED gas price sign approved by the City in 2005 for the Holiday
gas station on 57th Ave in Fridley. This sign will not flash or scroll. The sign will display gas
pricing numbers only and is not capable of displaying other messages.
Automatic changeable signs are an approved special use in any zoning district, provided the
message does not change more often than once every 45 seconds. The sign also needs to be
in conformance with the sign requirements for that district. One of these requirements is that the
free standing sign on which the sign will be included cannot exceed 80 sq. ft. in size.
The existing pylon sign is 77.5 sq. ft. in size. It is the only free standing sign on the property. A
permit was issued for it in 1999, and it meets all of the other current sign requirements for a
commercial district. It is noted that the sign is also more than 50 feet from a residential district.
Location of property
Resident Concerns / Questions
To date, City staff has received zero letters of comment from the surrounding neighbors
concerning the special use permit for an LED price sign for this property.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit, with conditions.
LED price signs are permitted with a special use permit in C-2 zoning districts. Staff
recommends approval, with stipulations, of the proposed Holiday LED price sign since it
complies with the requirements for the special use permit.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission approve the special use permit subject to the
following stipulations:
1. Petitioner shall obtain sign permit and current sign erector license prior to installing any
signage on site.
2. Message on L.E.D. section of sign cannot change more often than allowed by City Code.
3. Message on L.E.D. section of sign can never flash or have motion that may distract
vehicular traffic in area.

Resolution approving Final Plat, PS #05-08, 2nd Addition, Blue Print Homes
M-06-137
INTRODUCTION
On November 2, 2005, the Planning Commission considered plat request PS #05-08, by Blue
Print Homes. Blue Print Homes received preliminary plat approval from the City Council on
November 21, 2005 to replat portions of Block 2, City View Addition and portions of Blocks 12
and 28, Hyde Park Addition, generally located between 57th Place and 61 St Avenue and 3�a
Street and University Avenue. The purpose of this preliminary plat approval is to create 16 new
single family lots for the Gateway West redevelopment project, with 7 stipulations.
RECENT HISTORY
After further review by Blue Print Homes Engineering firm (Pioneer Engineering), they
discovered some minor title issues with the plat. After working on these issues for 3 months,
Pioneer was unable to resolve the issues and refused to move the final plat forward. Pioneer
was removed from the project and Kurth Surveying was hired to examine Pioneers work and
take the final plat to Anoka County. In Mid-March Kurth began working on this project, on the
City's behalf, and determined it would be best to separate the plat into a"1St & 2na" Addition
because the bulk of the title problems lie with the southern property, namely the former Franks
Used Cars site. Therefore, staff brought forward the Gateway West 1St Addition final plat on
May 22, 2006 and is now asking for final plat approval of Gateway West 2nd Addition.
RECOMMENDATION
After consultation with Attorney Knaak, staff recommends that the Council approve the attached
resolution, approving Gateway West 2nd Addition, pending review and approval by the Anoka
County Surveyor. Provided Anoka County Surveyors are able to finish their review of the plat in
the next few weeks, this would still allow the HRA to put these new lots in Blueprints possession
by the end of 2006.
STIPULATIONS
1. Petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the
issuance of any building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding
properties.
3. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable.
4. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees.
5. The petitioner shall agree to preserve mature trees to the extent possible. All trees
required to be removed for the new homes shall be marked and approved by City staff
prior to issuance of building permits.
6. Petitioner to provide City with a copy of the declaration of conveyance for the
development that outlines the landscaping and fencing requirements prior to issuance of
a building permit.
7. Park dedication fee of $6, 000. 00 (4 lots x$1, 500. 00) to be paid prior to issuance of a
building permit.

Street and Drainage and Utility Easement Vacation for Gateway West Second Addition
HISTORICAL TIMELINE
In 1976, the City Council created the S-1 Hyde Park Overlay district which applied only to the
properties located between Main Street and University Avenue and 57th Place and 61St Avenue.
Then, the area was a mixture of uses; made up of single family residential, duplexes, multi-
family and commercial properties. The purpose of the overlay district was to recognize the mix
of uses that existed and to no longer permit commercial properties within the Hyde Park district.
At the time of the creation of the S-1, Hyde Park overlay district, the City Council promised the
residents of this area that by creating this district, they would no longer allow new commercial
properties and once the existing uses ceased operation they wouldn't be replaced.
Those existing commercial properties, like Custom Mechanical (60th & 3�d), Werner Furniture
(59th Ave. & 3�d Street), and Frank's Used Cars (58th Avenue & 3�d Street) would be allowed to
remain until such time that the owner changed hands, the use was going to change, or the
property went up for sale.
In 1994, Custom Mechanical's property was purchased by the City when the owner wanted to
sell the business but wasn't allowed to as part of the Hyde Park overlay. The City purchased the
property and demolished the commercial building.
The City also took the slip off out that once provided southbound University Avenue motorist
with easy access to the businesses on 3�d Street. After the removal of the commercial building
and the slip off, the City replatted the property that was left into two single family lots and sold
the lots to the HRA. The HRA in turn sold them though their scattered site program and two
single family homes exist on the properties now.
In 1996, the HRA purchased the Frank's Used Cars site and, in 1999, the HRA purchased the
Werner's Furniture site. The Werner Furniture building was torn down with the thought that the
lot could be redeveloped and sold through the scattered site program. The HRA let the building
remain at the Frank's Used Car site to help the HRA meet TIF (Tax Increment Financing)
financing requirements for blight.
The vision for the Gateway West project at this time included the Frank's Used Car site and the
single family homes south of it. There was an analysis done at this time that determined that this
project area could be comprised of either seven single family homes, townhouses, or a senior
apartment building. A neighborhood meeting was held in which neighborhood opposition arose.
Many people spoke of concern about 57th Avenue traffic. Since 57th Avenue was slated for
redesign and rebuilding in 1998, the HRA moved their attention towards the Gateway East
project, on the east side of University Avenue.
In 2002, after the completion of the Gateway East project, the HRA re-focused its efforts on the
Gateway West project. A neighborhood meeting was held and a tax increment analysis was
completed. The tax increment analysis determined that there wasn't enough blight to warrant a
project other than single family in this neighborhood. At this point the City Council and HRA
determined that single family residential was the way to go and directed staff to do an analysis.
Also in 2002, staff started acquiring the additional properties to make the Gateway West project
possible. The last property needed for the project was acquired in early 2005. This project area
is comprised of two commercial properties, one property with a four-plex on it and six lots with
single family homes. All buildings were demolished on the lots that were acquired for this
project.
Since the land has been acquired, the Housing & Redevelopment Authority's (HRA) goal for
Gateway West is to convert the former mixed commercial and residential area into a viable
single family residential development.
PREVIOUS COMMISSION AND COUNCIL ACTION
The Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat for the Gateway West redevelopment
project on November 2, 2005, and the City Council approved the preliminary plat on Nov 21,
2005.
The Plat was divided into two sections, First Addition and Second Addition, when problems with
the legal description arose with on southern — or Second Addition — portion. Then, the City
Council decided to approve the First Addition (northern block) of the Final Plat. That action
allowed the builder to begin construction. As of October 1, 2006, Blue Print Homes had
constructed three homes on the plat's First Addition and two more are under construction.
The Second Addition of the plat will be brought before the Council at a later date.
On October 18, 2006, The Planning Commission held a public hearing to review the street
vacation request. At that time, the Gateway West Second Addition survey did not display the
drainage and utility easements to be vacated on 57th %2 Avenue (as seen on the attached
survey). The street portions had already been vacated in a previous action in Ordinance No.
371. Kurth Surveying corrected the error and amended the survey on November 8, 2006. Staff
brings the amended survey forward for Council review.
STREET VACATION
The City of Fridley HRA, is seeking to vacate portions of 57th Place, 57 %2 Street and 3�d Street
to clean up previous legal descriptions and vacate drainage and utility easements that will allow
for filing of the Gateway West - Second Addition final plat.
In order to create the new lots, a six foot by two hundred forty foot strip of 57th Place, a 130 ft.
portion of 57 %2 Avenue NE, a 110 ft. portion of 57 %2 Avenue NE, lying easterly of 3�d Street NE
and terminating at the University Avenue right-of-way, and a triangle shaped piece lying north of
57 12 Avenue NE and easterly of 3�d Street NE needs to be vacated. The six ft. strip of 57tn
Place to be vacated will provide additional lot length for Lots 7-9, Second Addition, without
affecting the right-of-way needed for the road or snow storage. See attached survey for
reference.

Approval of 2006 - 2007 Winter Snow Plan
PW05-066
Attached is the 2006 - 2007 Snow Removal Operations Policies and Procedures with maps. This
document gives an overview of equipment, responsibilities, plowing and sanding policies, districts,
emergency plan reference and the responsibilities of otherjurisdictions.
The other attachments include the snowplow district and equipment assignments, Emergency
Snow Removal Procedures policy, assignments and map and the Priorities on Sidewalk Plowing.
All personnel have been prepped for their duties during snow plow operations. We will have two
new employees coming on board and we will use our alternate plow drivers to train them and
ensure things go smoothly.
To ensure the City has a reasonably defensible snow removal plan, I recommend the City Council
adopt this plan by motion for the 2006 - 2007 winter snow season.

SNOW REMOVAL OPERATIONS POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
The Fridley Public Works Department is engaged in a continuing effort to provide improved snow removal
services, and yet keep expenses in balance with the current budget appropriation. For street snow
removal, the City currently deploys 20 pieces of equipment. Each of the 10 residential snowplow districts
and the 2 industrial districts has a major piece of equipment dedicated to clearing snowfrom its roadways.
These 11 major pieces of equipment are made up of 5 dump trucks with one-way plows and wing plows, 1
flatbed truck with a one-way plow, 1 dump truck and 2 pot patcher trucks with one-way plows and
underbody plows, and 3 loaders with directional plows and wing plows. Six of these trucks are also
equipped with sand spreaders for use when ice and slippery conditions exist. There are 8 minor pieces of
equipment are used to supplement the major equipment and to clear cul-de-sacs, dead end streets,
improved alleys, municipal parking lots and concrete sidewalks. These 8 pieces are comprised of 6 4x4
pickups, 1 1-ton 4x4 truck and 1 sidewalk plow/snowblower.
The Public Works Director has overall responsibility for snow and ice control operations. The Street
Supervisor has direct responsibility for supervising the day-to-day operations, such as determining when to
call out manpower, equipment needs, ordering materials, etc. The Street Supervisor utilizes weather
services and reports, police reports, citizen input and consults with the Director when necessary to
determine when to initiate the snow plowing operation.
Our policy is to begin snow removal operations after the snow storm has subsided, normally in the early
morning hours. However, if the storm ends in late evening, the crews are called out in an attempt to clear
redline collector routes by morning rush hour. If a storm is predicted to last unreasonably long, or heavy
accumulations appear imminent, full snow plowing operations begin on the redline collector routes in eight
districts when accumulations become hazardous for driving. Based on different storm situations and
severity levels, the starting time frames are flexible. For blizzard or high wind storms, plowing does not
commence until the storm subsides. For economy purposes, weekend snow storms will be reviewed for
impact and delay in starting times to minimize overtime costs.
Whenever ice or slippery conditions develop, sanding crews are dispatched to the six sanding districts (see
Attachment A- Sanding Districts). Sand and salt mixtures are spread over ice or slippery areas. The
sand provides an abrasive to help melt the ice. We are currently using straight salt in the Melody Manor,
Rice Creek Plaza, Rice Creek Terrace, Sylvan Hills, Hyde Park, Christie and Florence Park neighborhoods.
Salt is less effective below 20 degrees F, therefore, sand may be used to a limited degree in these areas if
extreme cold follows an icing condition. The Public Works "on call" employee upon notification of slippery
conditions by the Police Department is authorized to respond with up to two additional personnel to sand or
salt slippery areas. If more personnel are needed, the "on call" employee will notify the Public Works
Director or Street Supervisor of the need for additional personnel.
When snow removal operations begin, redline collector routes are plowed first. (See Attachment B-
Redline Collector Routes map). It takes approximately 4 to 6 hours (depending upon the snowstorm) to
complete these routes. These streets have been declared redline routes because they allow residents and
emergency vehicles faster and better access to the highways and into all areas of Fridley.
The City is divided into ten snow plowing districts after the redline collector routes are plowed. (See
Attachment C- Snow Plowing Districts map). In each district, there are four alternating starting points.
After each snow, the starting points will change. It takes approximately 6 to 8 hours to complete snow
plowing operations on the remaining streets. This results in providing clean, safe streets 12 to 16 hours
after an average snow storm.
There are 86 cul-de-sacs and 35 dead-end streets in Fridley. It takes considerable time before the smaller
and specialized equipment can complete the cul-de-sac areas. A snowplow may complete the regular
street and a portion of the cul-de-sac area. The major portion of the cul-de-sac will be plowed by the
special equipment within the total time of the snow plowing operation.
Concurrent with the plowing of the streets and cul-de-sacs, the sidewalks, improved alleys and municipal
parking lots are also plowed. We do not plow bikeways or asphalt paths, we only clear concrete sidewalks.
Cleanup operations begin on the next normal working day after the snow removal operations have been
completed. This includes cul-de-sac clearing and hauling, intersection clearing, sidewalks, traffic light
areas, bus stops, and winging back on boulevards
The snowbird vehicles parked on streets during a snow storm create problems for snow removal
operations. City ordinance prohibits vehicles from parking on City streets from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. and
during any snow removal operation from November 1 to April 1 of each year. Snowplow drivers report
snowbirds to the Police Department. Depending on available police personnel, tickets are issued, if the
vehicle is not removed. Vehicles that are blocking the street are towed away. Snowbirds that are still
parked when cleanup operations begin are towed and impounded underthe direction of police personnel.
For larger storms predicted to be over 8 inches and up to 15 inches or storms of longer duration, City crews
may begin plowing when streets are covered by approximately 6 inches of snow. Crews will follow our
standard snow plowing format of concentrating on the redline streets first and then moving into the
residential neighborhoods. Once the storm is substantially over, crews will begin a final city-wide plowing
operation cleanup.
For a major storm over 15 inches, our alternate plan comes into effect. The City is sectioned into 10
districts (see Attachment D- Emergency Snow Removal Plan) and the personnel are established into
two 12-hour shift crews. The redline streets are plowed first and then the remaining streets in the district
are plowed. The major difference is only one pass is made down the center of each street initially. Once
all streets are opened, the crews then go back and start clearing the roads full width. This continues until
all the streets are cleared by rotating the crews through their shifts.
MnDOT is responsible for clearing TH 47 (University Avenue), TH 65 (Central Avenue) and I-694. Their
policy is black pavement and run teams down the highway as the snow storm progresses.
Anoka County plows East River Road, the 44th Street bridge, Main Street to 57th, 57th to University, 49th
between Main Street and University, Mississippi Street, Osborne Road, 85th and Old Central. The County
also varies its starting points and attempts to clear to black pavement.
11 /06
EMERGENCY SNOW REMOVALPROCEDURES
1. We differentiate between a"normal snowfall" and what we would call an "emergency snowfall." An
"emergency snowfall" is a snowfall of 15 inches or more that is projected to fall within a 24 hour
period.
2. When there is a projection of an emergency snowfall, the snow plowing procedure will begin when
there is 6 inches of snow on City streets. The Police Department will have the responsibility for
notifying the Public Works Department of the existence of 6 inches of snow on the streets.
3. Once the plowing for an emergency snowfall has been decided, Public Works employees will be
divided into two 12-hour shifts beginning at the time they are called out.
4. Each shift will consist of eight employees who will operate five dump trucks and three front-end
loaders. Each group of eight employees will be assigned to one 12-hour shift.
In addition to the eight employees assigned to each shift, another employee shall be assigned as
needed to address particular problems. He may, for example, be assigned to digging out cul-de-
sacs, plowing sidewalks, and plowing City parking lots.
The storm and/or any other circumstances surrounding the storm will dictate the use of any
additional employees. These employees will also be available to assist the Police and Fire
Department with emergency operations (i.e., police calls, medical and fire emergencies).
The Police Department will take the primary responsibility for responding to questions from
citizens. It was agreed that the Police Department personnel will be updated approximately every
two hours. Personnel will keep maps and be responsible for plotting the progress of the snow
removal crews as reported.
As the plows are working during a major snowfall, they will make an initial pass in each direction
through redline streets and then residential streets. Efforts toward plowing curb to curb will not be
made until all streets have been opened to traffic. It is understood that there will be difficulties with
cul-de-sacs and driveways being plowed shut on a number of occasions and with cars being
parked on the streets.

AGENDA ITEM
CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF NOVEMBER 13, 2006
To: William W. Burns, City Manager
From: John Berg, Fire Chief
Date: November 7, 2006
Re: Rescue Truck Bid
In 2006 and 2007 the Fire Department budgeted $80,000 each year in Capital Outlay for
replacement of a"heavy rescue" and "grass truck" with a two "medium duty" rescue trucks.
The specifications for the new trucks called for a four-door, four-wheel drive, Ford F450
chassis (which was purchased on state bid for the total sum of $32,480.60) with a custom built
"twenty-year" modular rescue box and a two-door, two-wheel drive, Ford F450 chassis with
the same modular rescue box. The trucks would be used for responding to medical
emergencies, special rescue and fire calls and are designed for personnel and equipment
including, but not limited to, SCBA, personal protective gear, extrication equipment, and
water rescue equipment.
Bids were opened on Monday, October 30, 2006. The following bids were received for the
modular truck body, emergency lights and graphics for both vehicles and the option of
providing a chassis for the second vehicle:
Bidder
Conway Fire Apparatus
Fort Garry
General Safety
North Central Ambulance
Rescue Vehicles of Iowa
Body
No Bid
$75,350.00
$62,595.00
$66,500.00
$76,025.00
Body & Chassis
$114,608.00
$99,759.00
$94,477.00
$111,368.00
North Central Ambulance is the low bidder on the combination body and chassis and they are
the second lowest bidder on just the construction of the truck body. However, they did not
provide line drawings, did not meet the specifications in the bid process and they do not build
their own truck bodies. They contract to another shop for the truck body work.
General Safety is the second lowest bidder for the combination truck body and chassis and
they are the low bidder on the truck body construction. In their bid they specified a chassis
with an 80 inch wheel base and a diesel engine. The fire department specified a chassis with a
60 inch wheel base and a gasoline engine. If a contract were to be signed with General Safety
the actual cost of the chassis would be $7,953.00 less than their bid price.
Staff's recommendation is to accept the bids from October 30, 2006, and award the bid to
General Safety Fire Apparatus of Wyoming, Minnesota, for the production of two completed
rescue truck apparatus for the total sum of $154,401.00.

Public Hearing Liquor License Application of William Bisek of JWBB Inc. dba Baggans
Pub, located at 3720 East River Road, Fridley, MN 55421
William Bisek of JWBB Inc dba Baggans Pub, has applied for an intoxicating liquor license for the
Sha� location at 3720 East River Road, Fridley, Minnesota, 55421. Mr. Bisek formerly owned
Kelley's Korner in Centerville, Minnesota.
Section 603 of the Fridley City Code requires that a public hearing be held to consider the approval of
an Intoxicating Liquor License. The City Code also requires that the license can not be approved during
the same meeting. The Notice of Public Hearing, Attachment A, was published in the Fridley Sun
Focus on October 26, 2006 and mailed to Mr. Bisek.
The Police Department has conducted a background investigation and has found no reason to deny the
application at this time. During the time Mr. Bisek owned Kelley's Korner, the establishment failed
four alcohol and tobacco compliance checks in Centennial Lakes between 1993 and 2006. Records
indicate no occurrence of Mr. Bisek selling to minors personally. His employees acknowledged Mr.
Bisek was strict about not selling to minors and provided training in an effort to prevent that occurrence.
In addition, records show three after-hours sales violations, again to employees of Mr. Bisek.
Attachment B is a memo from the Public Safety Director outlining his concerns.
Mr. Bisek would like to open and begin selling intoxicating liquor at Baggans Pub on December 1,
2006. The final approval of the license will be scheduled for November 20, 2006 to allow the state
paperwork to be filed
At this time staff recommends holding a public hearing for an intoxicating liquor license.
Attachment A
(Legal Notice)
CITY OF FRIDLEY
PUBLIC HEARING BEFORE THE CITY COUNCIL
Notice is hereby given that the City Council of the City of Fridley will hold a public hearing at the
Fridley Municipal Center, 6431 University Avenue NE, Fridley, Minnesota, on Monday, November 13,
2006, at 730 p.m. on the question of issuing an on-sale Into�cating Liquor License to William J Bisek,
15880 Xeon Street, Andover, MN 55304, for JWBB Inc dba Baggans Pub located at 3720 East River
Road, Fridley, Minnesota.
Hearing impaired persons planning to attend who need an interpreter or other persons with
disabilities who require auxiliary aids should contact Roberta Collins at 572-3500 no later than
November 6, 2006.
Anyone having an interest in this matter should make their interest known at this public hearing.

Memorandum
To: Deb Skogen, City Clerk
From: Don Abbott, Public Safety Director
Date: November 1, 2006
Re: Liquor License Background Check: William Bisek
Per City Code, Chapter 603.07, the Police Department completed a background
investigation on Mr. William Bisek, applicant for an On-Sale Liquor License for
Baggan's Pub at 3720 E. River Rd. NE. Sgt. Prois conducted this investigation in later
October of 2006 for the purpose of verifying the information included in his License
Application. This memo is prepared to report concerns with items in Mr. Bisek's
background that are germane to his application, as required by Code. Ultimately, we
found no items that would preclude the issuance of a liquor license as provided by State
Law or Fridley City Code. The items of concern are:
1. Mr. Bisek's criminal record includes three DUI convictions (1988, 1999, and
2002). Mr. Bisek acknowledges the violations and claims he no longer consumes
alcohol.
2. Mr. Bisek's criminal record includes a misdemeanor conviction for gambling in
1994. Sgt. Prios determined that Mr. Bisek ran or allowed a dice game to run in
his bar (Kelley's Korner in Centerville, MN).
3. Mr. Bisek owned Kelley's corner in Centerville between 1993 — 2006. During
that time, Centennial Lakes Police completed approximately 4 alcohol & tobacco
compliance checks per year. Records indicate that Kelley's Korner failed these
checks four (4) times in that 13-year period, and sold either alcohol (twice) or
tobacco products (twice) to minors. Records show no occurrence of Mr. Bisek
selling to minors personally and his employees acknowledged that Mr. Bisek was
strict about not selling to minors and provided training to his staff in an effort to
prevent that. In addition, records show three after-hours sales violations, again to
employees of Mr. Bisek.
Centennial Lakes Police Chief Bob Makela had generally positive comments about Mr.
Bisek's conduct as a liquor licensee.
As Director of Public Safety, I recommend issuance of an On-Sale Liquor License, and
subordinate licenses and endorsements, to Mr. Bisek with reservations as noted above,
with a provision for no violations allowed for re-licensure at the next renewal period.

Public Hearing: Neighborhood Street Improvement
Project No. ST. 2007-1
PW06-063
A neighborhood open house was held on Tuesday, October 3, 2006, in the Council
Chambers to present the 2007 street project to any interested residents. There were 67
people in attendance representing 62 properties.
The project covers approximately 3.7 miles of streets. Staff gave a presentation of the
work, schedule and assessments. The evening concluded with approximately 45 minutes
of question and answers. Topics ranged from drainage, to access, to boulevard restoration.
The overall discussion was well received and very positive.
A newsletter and survey questionnaire were sent to all of the residents in the project area.
We had an excellent response receiving over half of the questionnaires back prior to the
open house. Surveys, letters, and phone calls continue to be received weekly.
The Public Hearing for the 2007 Street Project is scheduled for the Council Meeting of Nov
13. Staff has been very careful about following all proper procedures for notifying the
affected residents; individual letters inviting them to the meeting, discussion about it at the
Neighborhood meeting, and publication in the Focus Legal Ads section.
Unfortunately staff didn't have the City Council pass the Resolution Ordering the
Preliminary Report (which should been passed when we accepted the design contract back
in June) and also pass the Resolution Receiving the Report and setting the Public Hearing
for the November 13 meeting.
This time we were so focused on making sure the affected residents were given ample and
proper notice that we forgot about the necessary actions by Council that normally
accompany the process. We have discussed the issue with Mr. Knaak and he has
provided guidance as to fulfill the requirements of the Chapter 429 assessment process.
First, we have placed on the Agenda a Resolution ordering the Preliminary Report on the
Project. Then, we have placed on the Agenda a Resolution accepting the Preliminary
Report on the Project and Calling for a Public Hearing to be held on Nov 13. The
information in the Preliminary Report is what is presented in the Public Hearing
presentation. Council action must be taken on these two resolutions prior to the Public
Hearing.
Recommend the City Council open the Public Hearing to present the Preliminary Report
and take citizen input. We would recommend that the Public Hearing be kept open until the
meeting of December 4. This will provide opportunity to take any additional comments from
citizens at the Continued Public Hearing on December4 and then close the Public Hearing.
In the meantime, we will place another legal notice in the Fridley Focus regarding the
continued Public Hearing.
