T0: The City of Fridley
RE: The property at 6633 Arther Street NE,
City of Fridley, Anoka County Minnesota
5p g�-ol
The intentions of Mr. Bradley G. Dunham and Kevin P. Cole, in the purchase
and subsequent renovation of the exsiting above discribed building. When
completed this structure will bring to the neighborhood a high quality Day-
care facility.
Our plan is to upgrade both interior and exterior of the building. Substantialy
improve the existing landscape, improve and altar the drive pattern, provide
some off street parking, This all to be done in a manor that maintains a low
neighborhood profile and improves the propertys drive-by appearance.
The facility is to be under the direction of Patricia Torgrimson, a long time
active Fridley resident. Pat has a degree in elemenCary education from the
University of Minnesota-Morris. Teaching experience in a Headstart program,
also has done substitute teaching and is a mother of two children. It is
Pat's desire to bring to the neighborhood and city of Fridley a top quality
day care facility.
We look forward to and are excited about the oportunity to serve the needs of
the neighborhood and community and develop a long-time good neighbor type
relationship. We welcome any suggestions and or input that will allow us to
serve you,better.
Sincerely yours,
��

On December 7, 1970, the City Council approved, based upon the
recommendation of the Building Standards an�Design Control Subcommittee,
the building permit for construction of a daycare center requested by Anoka
County to be constructed at 6633 1lrthur Street. At that time� no speeial
use permit Was required for the facility.
On April 7, 1g80, the Couneil issued a Speeial Use Permit # 80-02 to allpx
the daycare center building to be uaed as a facility i'or battered women and
children on the request oP the Anoka County Task Force.
In the 1982 time-frame, the Alexandria House (battered women and children
facility�oved out of Fridley. Sinee that time, the building has rema�ned
vacant.
The County is preparing to sell the building and a request has beem made,
SP #86-01, for a Special Use Permit Por a daycare facility. Is a apecial
use permit required sinoe the original structure was allawred tor a dayeare
center? Or is a Hearing required in order to inPorm the neighborhood of
the proposed use of this property in a re9idential district as a compromiae
to our existing R-1 zoning Whieh requires a special use permit Por private
schools?
Request guidance on how we should proceed xith thia request.

MEMO T0: Jim Robinson, Planning Coordinator
MEMO FROM: l�yra Gibson� Planning Assistant ..,
MEMO DATE: April 1, 1986
REGARDING: Day Care Centers in R-1 Zoning
�
I called three cities in the Hetro area� Nex Brighton, Brooklyn Center, and
Edina, to see haw they handle day care facilities in their Cities. Many of
the Cities expressed a need to update their codes to better address the
grrn+ing day care industry. A summary of their requirements is as follows:
1. New Brighton permits day care centers vith a special use permit in
multiple dvelling districts, commercial and business districts and in R-1
districts for 12 or more cbildren provided that they are housed in
churches, schools, colleges or public use centers. Hoaever, tbey would
revier� a special use permit in an R-1 district in a different structure�
but not necessarily grant the special use permit. It would depend on the
circumstances. Their day care centers are generally built or located oa
a major artery or busy street because they feel that the traffie can be
better handled and there is more visability both consistant xith
commercial development.
2. In Brooklyn Center their code conforms to the State regulation of � 1Z
children in R-1 districts xith no need for a special use permit� provided
they are licensed by the State. For a day care center over 10 children to
be alla+ed in R-1 to R-3, a special use permit Would need to be acquired.
However, the only day care centers in operation are located in ahurches
and schools and those special use permits are permitted With the current
zoning in R-1. Day care centers are allowed with a special use permit in
C-1 and C-2 zoning providing they are not located on the same property as
or adjacent Lo a use which is not permitted to abut R-1 to R-3 xhich Ys
then approved by the Brooklyn Center Planning Commission.
3. In Edina, a special use permit is required f or churches and school s in
R-1, and these facilities are the only places ia R-1 xhere day care is
permitted. Day care centers are hoxever permitted in C-1 or C-2 zoning
and petitioners are encouraged Lo establish day care centers in that zone
rather than R-1 zones.
In all cases, the primary reason �rhy day care centers are generally not
permitted in R-t, unless in churches or sehools, is due to the traffic and
congestion problems Prom Z-9aa� and 4-6pm. If the facility is located on a
busier residential street and �as adequate parking and drop off, then it bas
a better cha.nce of being excepted.

XEARING OPEN AT 7:36 P.M.
Mr. Robinson stated this property was located just north of 66th Ave. ar�d
east of Arthur St. in a single fan�ily neighborhood. The property was zoned
R-1. The proposal was for a day care facjlity for up to 65 children. The
petitioner has indicated there would be up to eight staff inembers associated
with the project.
PLANNI(�G COt41ISSI0N MEETIt�G MARCH 19 1986 PAGE 2 "
t1r. Robinson stated that to give a little history on this particular struc-
ture, in 1970 the City Council approved a recommendation from the then
Building Standards-Design Control Cor*mittee to grant a permit for the con-
struction of a day care facility to be run by Anoka County. In 1980 a special
u s e p e r m i t w a s issued for the facility to be used as a home for battered
wonen and their children called The Alexandra House. T ha t f ac i l a t yThe m a i n e d
i n o p e r a t i o n u n t i l 1 9 8 2 and the house has been vacant ever since.
petitioner, Mr. Bradley Dunham, had an agreement to purc hase t he p+^ o p e r t y
f r o m A n o k a . C ount y contin gent upon this special use permit.
Mr. Robinson stated that associated with this project was the addition of
sa�e parking spaces. In going through past minutes from the file on The
Alexandra House, they found there was a lot of concern about on street
parking in the area due to the operation of that facility, so the City would
like the petitioner to inStall seven parking stalls on the south side of the
building.
Mr. Robinson handed out pictures of the facility which showed the quality of
the building. t�e stated a new driveway would be installed in front of the
building to facilitate the dropping off of children. He stated the building
was originallY feusenedMan1�iaremodelingtwassnecessaryerior was well suited
for this type o
Mr. Robinson stated Staff was recommending the foilowing stipulations:
1. Petitioner to obtain approval and implement a landscape plan.
2. Petitioner to install a 6 foot high solid wood screening fence
around the back yard and south of the parking area.
3. Any signage to be residential in quality not exceeding eight (8)
square feet.
4. Hours of operation to be from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through
Friday only.
5. Petitioner to work with Engineering Department on storm drainage
needs.
6. Petitioner to submit a performance bond in the amount of
b5,000.
Ms. Gabel asaed�a�fcarercenterat at�would indicatefanylpartwculartproblems
operated as y
at that time.
Mr. Robinson stated he did not see anything in the file, other than the
original minutes of the City Council approving the permit to build the
day care facility.
Mr. Dunham stated he would like to preserve the facility pretty much as
residential.
Ms. Gabel asked wfiat kind of provisions would be made for deliveries and
how frequently would deliveries be made.
PLANNING C0�1ttI5SIOt� t•1EETI�IG, MARCH 19, 1986 P�GE 3
Mr. Dunham stated
have been made in
on a weekly basis.
there was presently an exterior entrance where deliveries
the past. He presumed deliveries would probably be made
Mr. Dave Jedinak stated he wi.11 soon be living at 6632 Arthur St, which was
across fron�this facility. He asked if any study had been made pn how much
traffic would be added to the area. If they are talking about 65 children,
that is a potential for 65 cars coming in and out of there. His reason for
moving to this area was because of the dead-�nd street and the lack of traffic.
This day care facility really concerned him because it would be adding a
considerable amount of traffic.
Mr. Dunham stated no studies have been made by him on the traffic that would
be generated. He agreed that if they were operating at capacity, that could
possibly be 65 vehicles. He stated there would only be congestion at
certain times, and that was the reason to have it open between 6 a.m. and
6 p.m, on weekdays only. When people are at home in the evenings and on
weekends, it would be quiet. He stated he really did not have an answer to
adequately address the traffic question.
Mr. Robinson stated most of the traffic would be between 6-8 a.m, and 4-6 p.m.
Mr. Jedinak stated he was also concerned about people parking on their
residential street. He stated that at the time this facility was a day care
center before, there was a school across the street and it didn't have the
affect on the residential area that it is going to have now.
Mr. Dunham stated on-street parking should not be a problem. There was a
considerable a►�unt of driveway for drop-off and also there was 160 ft. of
frontage for cars to park in front o.f the facility. .
Mr. Ken Steinbauer, 6640 Anoka St., stated he lived directly behind the
property. In talking about the potential of 65 children, there seemed to
be a lot of presumptions being made about traffic�and arrival times. He
thought there was going to be higher traffic volumes than just 2 or 3 cars
at a time. He thought 7-10 cars was probably a more accurate figure.
Mr. Steinbauer stated that as Mr. Jedinak had pointed out, when the day care
facility was there before, there was a school across the street; therefore,
he would expect no past concerns. He felt it was going to be different this
time. In talking with the neighbors regarding the Alexandra House, particu-
larly the ones who lived next door to it, there were a number of problems
with traffic and a number of problems with the type of people who were there.
He understood it was a different entity with different purposes, but there
were still some problems. He thought the same type of traffic problems
and the same kind of problems with the increased #��rv of people were going to
co�e about even though this was proposed as a day care facility.
PLANNIr�G CO��t•1ISSIOtJ MEETING, MARCH 19, 1986 PAGE 4
Mr. Steinbauer stated this facility was going to reduce his property value.
Looking at the marketplace today, homes that are next to or right across
from a business were worth about $5-10,000 less than the same type of home
in a completely residential area. He stated he moved into this area because
it was a residential area. -

Mr. Steinbauer stated that in looking at the increased traffic�this facility
would generate into the area, that would increase the risk to the other
children in the neighborhood. In this particular neighborhood, there were
a 1ot of families with children between the ages o_f 3-13. With the increased
traffic between 6-8 a.m., that would not present as much of a problem as
the hours between 4-6 p.m. when neighborhood children are out playing. From
a safety perspect�ive, the risk would be significantly increased with the kind
of volume projected by Mr. Dunham for the facility.
I•1r. Jedinak stated the facility does look like a residential structure, but
the parking iot and the U-shaped driveway would change the appearance to
look more like a business.
Mr. Robinson stated there would be sufficient landscaping to screen the parking
lot. As far as the U-shaped driveway, there were a lot of residential homes
in Fridley with U-shaped driveways in front.
Mr. Marvin Asp, 1486 - 66th Ave., stated he lived around the corner from the
facility. He stated the building does have the appearance of a residential
structure, but it will definitely not be residential with a day care center
in it.
Mr. Joseph Laconic, 6644 Arthur St., stated he was very concerned about the
increased traffic. This was a quiet street now, and he did not want to�see
it become a busy street. He stated that because Arthur St, was not a through
street, all the traffic has to go in and out from the same direction.
Mr. Qunham stated maybe it would be possible to post some signage that would
warn motorists of "children at�play".
Mr. Robinson asked Mr. Dunham to explain something about the class structure.
Mr. Dunham stated they were really hoping to structure their needs around
the neighborhood and, hopefully, serve some of the neighbors. They are
hoping to operate a"latch key" program for school chi]dren before and after
school, and some of the traffic might be from the neighbors who use the
facility. They really won't know their requirements until they actually begin
operation.
Ms. Cindy Braam, 1436 - 66th Ave., stated she was concerned about traffic.
It was all young families with a�prc�x. 2-3 chiidren per family. She stated
there were no street iights or+ Arthur St. in #his area. She had asked
Counci�man Schneider about the possibility of street light, but was told
there was a�t enough footage fo� street iighting. When taiking about
increased traffic coming and going at 6-8 a.m. and 4-6 p.m., in the winter-
time it was very dark at those times. She would be concerned for the
safety of the children.
PLANNIt�� COF1t1ISSI0N f•1EETING, �1ARCH 19, 1986 PAGE 5
Mr. Fred Bischke, 1490 - 66t1i Ave., asked if the City had the ability to
control or limit the number of children who could use the facility, or was
that only in the County's jurisdiction? Sixty-five children seemed like
too many children for this facility.
Mr. Robinson stated the Planning Commission could recanmend to tbe City
Council the number of children they felt was appropriate for the facility given
its �eighborhood setting.
Mr. Dunham stated they must have at least 35 sq. ft. per child, and then
they have to follow certain programming guidelines where they cannot take
into account closet space, bathroom space, etc. There are fire codes, etc.
The building can actually facilitate more than 65 children, but with the type
of programming they want to do and the number of employees they need to make
the program run well, they have determined the number at 65.
A resident stated that 66th Ave. and Arthur St. form a"V" If people drive
very fast around that "Y", it could be a dangerous situation. Part of it is
visibility and sometimes it is weather conditions. SoMeti�es, after people
drop off their children, they are in a hurry to get to work and they m�ght
drive too fast. He had some real concern about the type of access this
facility had. He stated the Planning Commission should be looking at the
whole traffic pattern, not just the number of cars that would be coming in
and out of the facility,
Ms. Pat Torgrimson, 5651 Regis Drive, stated she would be involved in the
operat;�n of the day care center. She stated that 65 children was tiie
absolute maximum. tlost day care centers run at about 10°�, and even at that
70�, there would be a lot of part-time children, and children arrive at all
different times. The chance of their having 65 children when they o�en was
very slim. It takes awhile for them to build a reputation. Even then,.the
changes of them having 65 children every day was extremely minimal.
Mr. Dunham stated that as far as numbers of children� they could not operate
if they were limited to, for example, 40 children.
MOTIOIV BY MR. KONDRICK, SECOIdDED BY MR. SABA, TO CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING.
UPON A VOICE YOTE, ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRPERSON GABEL DECLARED THF. PUBLIC
XEARING CLOSED AT 8:30 P.M.
t�tr. Kondrick asked if they could place a stipulation on the special use
permit for a maximum or minimum number of children.
Ms. Gabel stated they could do that; however, this was something the Staff
should check into before the City Council meeting. She was pretty sure the
County and the State had some jurisdiction over the numbers.
PLANt�I��G COh1t�1I5SI01J �•tEETING, ��ARCH 19, 1936 PAGE 6
Mr. Betzold stated he felt the Planning Cor�nission should still ha��e the
authority to recormend a smaller program with a smaller amount of children.
even though the State sets the policy and the County licen5es the facility.
Mr. Saba stated he had a lot of concerns about a day care center for 65
children in a residential area. Ne had no problem with a day carre center in
a residential area, but he did have a problem with a maximum of 65 children.
He stated that traffic was also a valid concern.
Mr. Kondrick agreed. He stated that if Arthur St. was a through street,
it would be a lot more accomnodating for traffic. This was a very nice
looking building, but they should be careful about how many people they allow
in the facility.
Mr. Wellan stated he w�s concerned about traffic because this was a dead-end
street. Traffic can only come in and out from one way. Grant�d, the day care
facility was there before, but fie was also bothered by the high number of
children.
Mr. Betzold stated his sister lived in this neighborhood with three small
children, so he could understand the concerns expressed by the neighbors.
A day care facility was a permitted use for this property and a use they
sho��d encourage in residential areas. They should probably put some cap on
the number of children so the number could not be increased. Ne would also
recommend an annual review to see how the traffic flow situation was working.
t4s. Gabel stated she agreed with the other commissioners. She did not know
how they could determine what the "cap" should be. She certainly would not
want it over 65, because that would generate a lot of traffic. She did not
know if it should be less, because she did not know how the figures wori�ed
out based on the County's requirements. Legally, she did not see how the
Planning Commission could deny this special use permit request; hovrever, they
could put some stipulations on it.

Ms. Gabel stated she was a little uncomfortable with the Planning Cocunission
determining a number for the simple reason that they do not know anything
about this day care operation and what it takes to have a successful operation.
Mr, Betzold stated that by recommending a number, they are forcing the
issue of numbers so the petitioner will have more information fofi� the
City Council's review.
Mr. Saba stated that because of the traffic concern, he could not even
agree with 45 as a maximum number.

RDGARDING: SP #86-01, Daycare Facility at ���t N. E.
On April 2, 1g86 Bradley Dunham xithdrew his application for a special use
t permit to operate a daycare facility at the above referenced property. Mr.
Dunham indicated that aeighborhood opposition to his project xas his primary
reason for xithdrariing his petitioa
Obviously the structure is unique due to it's past history and institutional
character. I belfeve it is possible for Lhe County to suggest uses for this
facility rrhich may be far less acceptable to the neighbors than the proposed
daycare facility. It is my opinion that it Would be advisable for City staff
to work With the County in determining the most appropriate use for this
structure.
The neighborhood has changed dramatically vith the demol ition of Rice Creek
School and the new residential development to the kest of Arthur Street.
Consequently, uses that were acceptable in the past may have no particular
bearing on future uses for this facility. The physical rel ationship of the
structure to the redeveloped area is sharn on the enclosed traffic diagram.
The daycare issue did raise some i�mportant questions related to this ty pe of
use in a single family zone. Staff has researched other day care facilities
in R-1 districts (with tWelve or more children) xhich have been granted
special use permits in Fridley and found that these facilities are located in
existing churches, schools or are on arterial streets.
Furthermore, in checking With other cities (see attached memo) �►e find that
it is common practice to limit day care facilities to schools and churches or
other buildings on arterial streets.
State la� requires that a day care facility of t�elve children or less be
considered an allowed use as a home occupation in R-1 districts. It would be
my recommendation that the City adopt language in the R-1 section of the code
xhich would probibit daycare facilities in excess.of twelve children in
single family zones oLher than t.bo9e located in ehvrcbes, aehools or other
facilities I.ocated oa arLerisl atreets. IY it is tfue Council's desire to
proceed witL thia type oP amendmeat, staff v311 process tbis code chaage
through the appropriate commissions.
