Effective 3/29/07 Y �FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 23, 2007 PAGE 10 UPON A VOICE VOTE, VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNA OUSLY. 8. Consideration of a Resolution Ordering the Removal or Repair of a Hazardous Building Pursuant to Minnesota Statues, Section 463, Located within the City of Fridley, Minnesota. MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to waive the reading of the public hearing notice and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Saeflce. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 8:37 P.M. Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that the property located at 1465 Gardena Avenue has a garage that staff has discovered is a hazardous structure. Determination was made that the concrete blocks are bowing out on two sides of the building, the south and the north side have substantial cracking, it appears that the roof is only partially there, the entire wooden plate top coat is rotted and there are rotten ceiling joists inside the structure. Mr. Hickok said that this resolution would set in motion the response time in the event the property owner did not take care of this hazardous structure. The property owner has come forward and presented a demolition pernut and indicated that by the end of A�gust the garage will be gone. The property owner plans to construct a new garage on the site by November 1, 2007. Mr. Hickok said there are three options the property owner can choose: Take care of the problem, set up a reasonable time with staff, or do nothing. The property owner has chosen the reasonable time frame option but they have done this without the resolution. If the resolution is passed this evening, it gives the property owner 20 days to respond. This will have a favorable outcome, the property owner will demolish the building with their own finances, and staff is satisfied with this option. Staff recommends holding the public hearing without acting on it as a hazardous building. Staff will bring this back to Council in September if the building has not been taken down. Staff is confident it will be taken down by the end of August. Councilmember Varichak asked why three extensions were granted on this property. Mr. Hickok said that the extent of the condition of the garage was not known in the early stages and the issues were related to outdoor storage problems. Staff visited the site and noted that the garage should be inspected. After an inspection, it was noted that the gazage should come down. The owner was not responsive and staff said the City would tear down the garage. Last week the property owner came in and pulled a permit to teaz down the garage. Mayor Lund asked if there was a chance the property owner would wait until the last minute and ask for an extension. Mr. Hickok said he did not think this would happen, as the owner wants this resolved. a �' � FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 23, 2007 PAGE 9 improve the site. There are more improvements they would like available. , Councilmember Saefke asked what types of businesses are on make when finances are Mr. Anderson answered commercial roofing, waterproo ng, structure repair and concrete restoration. He said that most employees live north of the ite and they commute to the site and then drive the equipment to the work site. There was tal to fnd a different location, south, but this would not be as convenient for the employees. Councilmember Saefke said he was willing to keep t�ie public hearing open to January 2008. Councilmember Barnette asked if all tenants Mr. Anderson said that there was a flooring and they were independent of BDA Develop� Councilmember Barnette asked if the to relocate somewhere else. Mr. Anderson said that they would covered outdoor storage space. Councilmember Varichak asked related to the current business. that mainly works with the food industry were willing to help out or if they were looking construct the lean-to structure, which will allow more tenants knew he was suffering from financial hardship. Mr. Anderson answered yes, th�y were all aware of the situation. Mayor Lund asked how the usiness that bought his business paid for it. Mr. Anderson said it w a stock for stock exchange with a two-year restriction, so the bank will not even use the sto as collateral. Mayor Lund said th this extension will be an opportunity for him to succeed but he has strong reservations allowi g this extension. Mr. Anderson has legitimate excuses why he is not in compliance but c arly stated that by the end of the year he would only be 80 to 90% complete. By the January , 2008 Co2ancil Meeting he should be done or close to completion. He said Council is tryi to give Mr. Anderson every consideration and prefers not to take court action. Bolkcom asked staff to update Council in October and November on the progress of e site.

Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. __.�., x - , FRIDLEY CITY C4UNCIL MEETING OF JULY 23, 2007 PAGE lI Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the garage was torn down by the end of August and they started building a new garage by November l, if it could be completed by the end of November. Mr. Hickok answered yes. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the public hearing should be continued to September rather than December in case the owner does not follow through as stated. If the public hearing is continued to December, they would be in the middle of winter and not able to carnplete the canstruction. Fritz Knaak, City Attorney, said that once the resolution is passed the owner has 20 days to respond, this starts the process to remave the garage and start the abatement pracess. If the public hearing were continued to a later date, it would start the 20 days at a later date. Councilmember Bolkcom recommended continuing the public heazing to September. This way if the gazage was not down by August and the resolution was passed in September, action could be taken at that time. Councilmember Saefke asked if the building needed to be noted hazardous far safety reasons to keep people away and out of the building. Mr. Hickok answered that the building is in a fenced yard and guard dogs are in the fence to secure the site. Attorney Knaak confirmed that the City would not expose itself to additional liability by not securing the area.

This would involve the railroad crossings at �'7rn Avenue and Osborn Road. Federal law requires locomotive engineers to sound their horns upon approaching eac road crossing. Federal rule sta.tes that the local jurisdiction can designate a quiet zone wherein the ederal Railxoad Administration or its engineers cannot routinely sound their horns. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING QF JULY 23, 2007 PAGE f2 Mr. 4tteson said that the numbe of trains has doubled in 15 yeaxs to about 60 trains per day. The Northstar Commuter Rail wil add 12 to 1$ more trains per day once it gets up and running in 2009. The City has received co plaints and requests to do something about the horns at the railroad crossings at 77`� Avenue at Osborne Raad. Mr. Otteson said that in 2006, Di ector of Public 5afety Don Abbot initiated the process of administering a quiet zone in the Ci of Fridley. This is the only area that is not quiet between Minneapolis and Anoka. Resolution 006-52 was approved on August 28, 2006, by the Council. It autharizes staff to proceed with he process of the quiet zane in the City of Fridley. Discussions and site meetings took pla e with BNSF, Anoka County, MnDOT, and the Federal Railroad Administratian. BNSF plans t add a third railroad line sometime in the near future and we will be preparing for that in our desig . Mr. Otteson said that quiet zanes � supplemental station measures that would are four different options and it was dete: Resolution 2006-52. the implementation or the construction of e the safety in the absence of train horns. There that the most cost effect optian was outlined in Mr. Otteson said preliminary approval, h been received from the Federal Railroad Administration, MnDOT and BNSF for the raise median option. Anoka County Highway is the road authority for �sborne Road and is in favor the raised median optian. 77th Avenue is a City street. 1'VIr. Otteson said that concrete bay medians will be i stalled along with signage and striping on both sides as you approach the railroad. Medians will b 80 to 1 QO feet in length, 4 feet wide and b to $ inches high. There are restricted driveway entran es and they may need ta be redesigned or relocated to accommodate access and crossing protec �on. Staff is currently working with three property owners whose access is affected by the medi . Mr. Otteson said that the cost estimate is in the ballpark of $,000, which will be funded from the MSAS account and general funds. The tentative time perio is this summer or fall to look at the final plan and engineering, go to Anoka County for plan revi and approvai and submit the final plan to the affected agencies. In the fall, they hope to st constructing the quiet zone. There is a required notification and 6Q-day comment period followin completion. Councilmember Saefke asked who would pay for the maintenance County-owned street. Don Abbot, Public Safety Director, said that the Counry does not contri maintenance of this street. Cauncilmember Bolkcom asked if they were confident that all would be this yeax. the road being it is a finances to the in the fall of �� � � „ FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 3. 2007 PAGE 10 Dr. Burns said we get about $60,000 a year in SCORE �ding. The City is not able to use our revenue sharing money to offset the employee's ary. Whatever we get from sales of recyclables, the City has to channel into new cycling programs as opposed to existing outpaying casts. Pete Eisenzimmer asked how much mo was really spent for the inigation system at Community Park. Dr. Burns replied about $75,000 a ye for a two or three-phase project. They had to take out a lot of fill in that azea that caused a 'nage problem. They do it in conjunction with the street improvement project. It is some g that needed to be done bad in order to accommodate drainage problems on the six field at Community Park. Mr. Eisenzimmer asked whetl}�r we aze just spending $75,000 on the sprinkler system just at Community Pazk or if it is for �11 the City's sprinkler systems. � Dr. Burns replied it is aboly[a $225,000 project total. Mayor Lund said the ' provements were definitely needed in the park because it was not usable because of the ack of drainage and the ensuing problems. One of the reasons for spending that money n those bal.l fields is because the City derives a substantial amount of money from the to aments that are held there. The fees help offset the costs. Councilmember �olkcom asked Dr. Burns what happens next with the proposed budget. Dr. Burns rep ed both the budget resolution and the final t� levy resolution will be on the agenda for the ity Council meeting on December.l0.

Consideration of a Resolution Ordering the Removal or Repair of a Hazardous Building Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 463, Located within the City of Fridley, Minnesota (14b5 Garden Avenue N.E.) (Ward 2) (Continued September 10, 200'�. MOTION by Councilmember Varichak to reopen the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UP4N A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARING REOPENED AT 7:25 P.M. � 11 ClTIj� Dr. Burns stated property values are up by 3.3 percent. Looking at some of tl�e categories of property value, we residential area, whereas last year we saw a 5.5 percent i: people need to keep in mind that estimated market values by the time the tax bill reaches their doorstop. That is b behind the actual levying process. � Dr. Burns stated that Part II crimes (more serious) months of 2006. There were 95 more thefts, 14 mo compared to 2006. / Last ye they were up 6.4 percent. are s ing a 1.2 percent increase in cre e in residential value. He said �n roperties are about two years old ; ause the appraisals of property lag � up by 11.2 percent during the first nine robberies, and 7 more arson cases in 2007 Dr. Burns stated the cash assistance provided y Anoka County to Fridley residents is up by 2.7 present, but surprisingly the students recei ng free and reduced meals for District 14 is down by about the same amount. Either way the is not a lot of increased or decreased reliance on welfare. Dr. Burns stated the 2008 budget is 7 percent greater than the budget that was prepared in 2007. Most of the increase is due to t street project and to the general fund. When you Iook at the general fund, most of that has do with the cost of employees, which is very much in keeping with the cost of employe s metro wide. While we have added $36,000 to the Fire Department's budget for paid-on- all firefighters and $15,000 for code enforcement interns, the 2008 budget provides for the s e scope of services as was provided in 2007. Cince again, General Fund expenditures mu be supported by transfers from other funds. The 2008 transfers amount to more than $1.6 mil on. While $500,000 of this amount comes from the Liquor Fund, the remainder of the transfer omes from cash balances. Dr. Burns said that while e have some time to address the General Fund imbalance, we do not have time to ignore it. - e will cont�nue t�-make-our �uest-for a-fa.irer portion-of-LGA fundinga -- high priority. Without ew LGA money, we will soon arrive at a fork in the road where we must choose between high r property taxes through additional levy and substantial reductions in services. Untit Nov mber 20, Fridley was also struggling to balance its utility fund budgets. Thanks to our vot rs, we can now focus on catching up with some of the utility system improvements tha were put on hold in 2007. As we move toward the beginning of a new year, we look forwazd o addressing our funding challenges as well as toward continuing to provide top quality servi es to Fridley residents. Mayor Lnnd ked about deficit in the solid waste abatement fund which will be covered by the City's close ond fund. He asked if the City could pay that down to break even. He said he is concerned out the City's reductions in its closed bond funds each year. Dr. Bur s replied the County will not let us use the revenue sharing money to offset those deficits or the salary of the one employee. Lund asked whether the City still gets money for solid waste abatement. . .� - . FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 3, 2007 PAGE 11 Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated there was a garage on the site and they did move to the point of deeming that hazardous and asked Cauncil to consider the resolution which they passed, allowing the City to remove the garage if the owner did not remove it. At that July meeting, Council agreed to allow the property owner until August 31, 2007, to remove the building. The owner did pull a demolition permit and agreed to have the building down by August 31. The building was completely demolished by the first week in September. There is some concern about outdoor storage on this site relative to the garage being gone. City Code does require that a garage be placed on a single-family lot, and that the garage be no less than two stalls. Mr. Hickok stated staff recommends that Council hold the public hearing to receive any additional comments and information and then close the public hearing. Staff discussed the matter with the owner who stated he could not decide where to place the garage. Code requires him to have a garage. It is now the winter season and construction is expensive. If the owner had acted last February or March, the garage would have been down and a new garage could have been built this summer. He said if Council felt it was appropriate, they could close the public heazing and staff will pursue other remedies with non-compliance with garage requirements in an R-1 District, outdoor storage violations, and the illegal parking matters on the site that exist through the court. Mayor Lund asked if they need a resolution before the property owner's December 14 court date. Mr. Hickok replied, no, they do not. They had a resolution ready in case they needed to abate this action on the property. The hazard is gone. T'hey have never actually built a garage through an abatement process. --MO�IflN--by--Councilmember--Varichak-to-ciose the-public- -hearing�-- -Seeonded by--- ---- Councilmember Bolkcom.

He believe those driveways were approved by City staff and they were unaware of the problem and were a vised of a problem in the spring, after the project was certified as complete and correct.
