Night to Unite Proclamation (Tuesday, August 6, 2013). Governor’s Certificate of Recognition to the Anoka County Municipal Wellhead Group. Jim Kosluchar, Public Works Director, stated in May, 2013, as part of Safe Drinking Water Week, Governor Mark Dayton recognized the efforts of the Anoka County Municipal Wellhead Protection Group to protect the wells and groundwater source of the drinking water supply. The Anoka County Municipal Wellhead Protection Group is compromised of the cities of Anoka, Blaine, Centerville, Circle Pines, Fridley, Lexington, Lino Lakes, Ramsey, and Spring Lake Park, with the assistance and coordination of Anoka County. Mr. Kosluchar stated the Anoka County Community Health and Environmental Services Department joined with the eight communities of the Wellhead Protection Group to implement this unique, innovative, and cost-effective process to protect the source of drinking water to municipal wells, as they protect the health of Anoka County residents. Mr. Kosluchar said the cities have been presented with certificates from Governor Dayton which read: “This certificate is presented to the Anoka County Municipal Wellhead Protection Group in recognition of your commitment to serve as an example to other communities of how 2 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2013 PAGE 2 local involvement by land owners, community residents, and government can lead to innovative and effective implementation of source water protection efforts as a Source Water Protection Leadership community.” He presented the certificate to the City Council. Mr. Kosluchar reminded Fridley property owners that the cities of Fridley and Spring Lake Park are currently offering an in-kind grant for unused well sealing for up to $750. Applications are being processed, but there is still money available. Call 763-572-3566 for additional information on well sealing grants. Twin Cities Gateway Presentation by Steve Markuson, Director. Steve Markuson, Twin Cities Gateway Director, stated that tourism generates $32M per day. The annual economic impact of tourism is $11.9B and tourism employs 240,000 residents and delivers 17% of all MN sales tax revenues. Tourism provides 11% private sector jobs. In Anoka County that equals $455 million per year and 11,167 jobs. Mr. Markuson said tourism money is spent throughout the community and it generates economic impacts, jobs and taxes. He said 16% of visitors spend money on recreation, 16% on transportation, 18% on shopping and retail, 19% on lodging, and 25% on food and beverages. Tourism is important because economic development follows it. Mr. Markuson stated the past year’s budget revenues from lodging tax, grants and interest was $728,824. The total administrative and operating expenditures were $131,390 or 18%. He said 82% of the budget was for marketing, promotion and reserves. The budget is based on lodging tax receipts in 22 member hotels in the 9 member cities. There has been significant growth since 2010. To date, the numbers reflect a 9% plus increase over last year. The website and page views are also showing tremendous growth. Mr. Markuson stated the regional grants are used to help market and promote existing events to bring more people into town or to start a new event. The funds need to be spent on marketing and promotion to attract visitors. Last year, they contracted with the University of Minnesota Tourism Center for on-site visitor intercepts at 16 locations. The primary reasons for visiting the area was 35% attending sporting events, 22% visiting friends/family, 14% enjoying area attractions, 10% participate in outdoor recreation and 6% taking on an event or festival. Mr. Markuson said their strategic objectives are to generate incremental travel and overnight stays in and throughout the 9 member cities, stimulate tourism-related economic impacts, highlight proximity, target leisure/sports marketing/meetings/conferences, focus on online and internet marketing, reach geo-targeted (primary) markets of origin for Twin Cities Gateway visitors, reach behavioral prospects based on identified activities of interest, increase visitation during shoulder seasons and low occupancy periods for the industry, and provide a regional grant program to stimulate new events and enhance existing events. Mr. Markuson said they do a lot of marketing and promotion outside of the area to bring visitors in, and each year a grant amount is received for marketing efforts. He presented a check for $5,373.00. He said parts of the funds were used to market the recent ‘49er Days event. 3 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2013 PAGE 3 APPROVAL OF PROPOSED CONSENT AGENDA: APPROVAL OF MINUTES: 1.City Council Minutes of July 8, 2013.

PUBLIC HEARING: 6.Resolution Providing Approval and Certification of the Adequacy of the Riverside Corporate Centre Site Development Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) and Negative Declaration of the Need for an EIS for the Property Located at 5601 East River Road (Ward 3). Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated this proposed project is for 134,000 square feet office/warehouse, 311,650 square feet professional office building, a 120 unit multi- family/senior residential building and a parking structure. The City of Fridley is the Responsible Governmental Unit (RGU) in the EAW process. The RGU determined that an EAW was required however; the site did not meet the automatic thresholds for an EIS. It is then up to the RGU to determine if the EAW is adequate and fully identifies the environmental concerns. 5 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2013 PAGE 5 Mr. Hickok stated the developer’s consultant, Plowe Engineering, in coordination with Spack Consulting, has prepared a very complete EAW. The EAW was distributed to those outlined in State rules. Four comments were received from State agencies which were made part of the public record. An overall mitigation plan has been developed for the project to address impacts/effects defined and identified in the EAW. Mr. Hickok stated on May 20, 2013, a public information meeting was held. With the exception of Councilmember Barnette, no members of the public appeared. The requirements of the EAW process outlined in State Rules 4410 were met. Staff recommends approval of the resolution, which will provide approval and certification of the adequacy of the Riverside Corporate Centre site development EAW, a declaration of negative finding for the need for an EIS, and will authorize staff to notify the EQB of the same. Councilmember Bolkcom noted that on July 8, staff sent letters and people had an opportunity to send something back if they wanted to. The comments on Page 49 were constructive, but no negative comments were received. She asked if anything else needed to be done for the EAW. Mr. Hickok replied the point of that letter was to let them know the City received comments and to address any concerns. It was also to let them know it is staff’s intent to notify Council that the EAW is adequate. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if any comments were made about water contaminates. She really did not understand it, because they found some contaminates that were higher than what the state levels recommend. She asked at what point is that a trigger that something else needs to be done because there were some contaminates in the soil. She asked if there were water quality concerns. Jim Kosluchar , Public Works Director, replied a number of tanks on site were removed long ago, before the site was demolished. Phase 1 was completed and pollutants were discovered. They went into Phase 2 to outline the specific pollutants. They think the pollutant was from the storage tanks on site that were removed. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if any more soil borings needed to be made, or if further investigation or mediation was necessary. Mr. Kosluchar said the developer is aware of the potential pollutants and knows it is their responsibility to clean up the site as owners. Councilmember Bolkcom asked how that is tracked for them on a TOD. Mr. Kosluchar replied the developer has to report to the MPCA and the MPCA monitors what goes on at the site. Councilmember Bolkcom asked when Phase 2 would start. Mr. Kosluchar replied when there is a developable site. 6 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2013 PAGE 6 Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the APCA would get involved at that time and send remediation plans if they find any more pollutants. Mr. Kosluchar answered yes. It is required by law to report anything discovered on the site. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if staff had any questions or concerns that this is affecting the wells. Mr. Kosluchar replied no source water comes from this site, so there is no impact potential for the City of Fridley wells. Contaminants are adhered to the soil and at the groundwater elevation. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 2013-34. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 7.Resolution Approving a Transit Oriented Development Master Plan, TOD #13-01, by Industrial Equities, LLP, for the Purpose of Redevelopment of the Property Located at 5601 East River Road (Ward 3) Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated the petitioner is requesting a TOD Master Plan for the property located at 5601 East River Road. This area is zoned C-3, General Shopping; however, because it is within the TOD Overlay District, a TOD Master Plan needs to be approved by the City Council before development can start on this site. Mr. Hickok said John Allen was successful in negotiating purchase of the property and has committed to working with the City and the development market to bring a mix of uses and TOD design to the site to make the project work for all. He has met several times with staff and proposes the current development of a mixture of uses. Mr. Hickok noted an extremely important aspect to what develops on this site also has to do with the Northstar Transit tax increment financing district the Minnesota Legislature has allowed the Fridley to create. This development will be within that district and this would be the first project to produce increment for infrastructure improvements in the Transit TIF District. th Mr. Hickok stated the project was designed with the City’s desire to extend 57 Avenue from Main Street to East River Road. In order to allow for the 57th Avenue extension, 68,921 square feet of land will need to be dedicated as right-of-way easement from this property. This does not th include the land area for the 57 Avenue extension that is owned by Kapstone, north of the property. Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner envisions the property developing with 3 main development areas. The first area that will be developed is along the BNSF railroad tracks on the east side of the property. It would include the construction of a 134,192 square foot one-story 7 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2013 PAGE 7 office/warehouse building. The first “schematically planned” development could include two, five-level, 150,000 square foot professional office buildings with a 2-story common core element that connects the two office buildings and underground parking. This building will be connected to a parking structure with a total of 1,311 parking stalls. The second “schematically planned” development could include a three to four story, 120-unit multi-family or senior housing development with underground parking for 112 stalls and at-grade parking for another 88 stalls. th This building will be positioned to align with the corner of East River Road and the future 57 Avenue extension. th Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner envisions this development occurring whether or not 57 Avenue is extended from Main Street to East River Road. He wanted to design the development th showing the 57 Avenue extension; however, he has stated that he does not fee that it is needed to make this development a success. The project needs to comply with the TOD standards that were designed to enhance the pedestrian scale and safety of any particular development. The TOD overlay allows for flexibility when designing a redevelopment project that encourages dense, mixed use, pedestrian-friendly developments. It was also created to minimize the use of the automobile by allowing reduction in parking requirements, if certain conditions can be met and sidewalks are constructed. Mr. Hickok stated the proposed project will include the construction of several new buildings that will offer a mix of uses. The petitioner is very interested in designing the project to TOD standards, through use of high quality building materials and design. Pedestrian site circulation through installation of sidewalks will provide better access to public transportation such as the Northstar Commuter Rail and the Metro Transit bus system. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on March 20, 2013, for TOD #13-01 and recommended approval. The master plan was not brought to the City Council immediately, as the EAW process needed to be completed first. Mr. Hickok stated the EAW process is complete and is before Council tonight for approval. City staff met with the petitioner last week to discuss costs associated with the first phase of the project. The petitioner plans to ask the HRA for assistance in constructing the 5-lane entrance from East River Road that may potentially be extended over the tracks to Main Street. Staff plans to recommend this cost assistance to the HRA. Petitioner has also asked for a change to the Master Plan that would allow him to only complete a portion of the parkway into the proposed development as part of the first phase. Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner has found it difficult to justify the additional $325,000 cost to construct the full parkway, and fears that if the site layout for Phase 2 and 3 of the plan change, part of the new parkway may need to be removed, resulting in additional future expenses. Mr. th Allen has agreed to dedicate the land area needed for the 57 Avenue extension as public right- of-way and will be negotiating with the property owner to the north, Kapstone, for additional land acquisition for the access. Staff recommends approval of the resolution with 23 stipulations. th Councilmember Barnette asked who would bear the cost if 57 Avenue was expanded. 8 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2013 PAGE 8 Mr. Hickok said currently, the cost is $18M to expand that area, and it would probably be a combination expense. It would be a reliever for the state highway system and the county system. They would even look for federal dollars, because it would improve the overall transportation network. Realistically, this is an infrastructure improvement that has regional importance. Councilmember Saefke asked how confident Mr. Allen was in acquiring the piece of land from Kapstone. Mr. Hickok replied there have been discussions on this, and it has been a friendly discourse between property owners. There is something they can do for each other. There is good potential, but he could not promise the outcome. Councilmember Bolkcom asked Mr. Hickok to summarize the Planning Commission comments. Mr. Hickok said they want to make certain the TOD elements are being property addressed. The TOD is a complicated overlay with many parts to it. There was discussion about the aspects of building and about access from this site to the station. There is potential with the East River Corridor Study that there could be a bikeway/walkway on both sides of East River Road. Federal funding would be used, and they would require those walkways to be included. There is also potential to see a promenade on the east side of the rail to allow direct route to the train station. There will be involvement and partnerships between the train station and this site. There was a question about TIF financing and what role it plays in this development. This is important, th as they have asked for help with the infrastructure where the 57 Avenue extension is located. The other part is the parking deck and that is an extraordinary cost. They like the idea of mixed use because that creates more density than what they would typically do. A parking deck may be needed and they may ask for assistance to bring down that cost. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to move into record pages 3-13 of the March 20, 2013, Planning Commission Meeting minutes. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the parkway would be constructed so people cannot speed through the area and if there would be plantings. Mr. Hickok said the parkway is a roadway with a planted median and a pond with trees; like Medtronic Parkway. Councilmember Bolkcom asked on page 54 what the two-level common core and parking structure was. 9 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2013 PAGE 9 Mr. Hickok said that the illustration shows two five-story towers, with a lower core two-story connection in between. The developer does not want to get too tied into this illustration, as they do not have a user for this development yet. th Councilmember Bolkcom asked what happens if the 57 Avenue extension does not happen or the piece of land is not acquired or what happens if Mr. Allen purchases this property and it does not go through for this portion. What happens to the property? Does the City have any obligation? Is it between the developer and Kapstone to figure it out? The City does not have an obligation but how does that all spell out? The TIF is to do the lanes and extend it. Mr. Hickok said the triangular piece of land is a very important piece of this property development. The developer is optimistic they will come up with some sort of solution, because they have a mutual interest and have something to provide in exchange. This almost happened with a previous developer but the owners changed on both properties. The developer did not buy th this site based on a 57 Avenue extension. He will be able to attract people with or without the th 57 Avenue extension. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the petitioner was comfortable with Stipulation 23 saying “future date”. Mr. Hickok replied that he said he would feel more comfortable if it said 5 years. Councilmember Bolkcom asked about Stipulation 18. th Mr. Hickok replied if you go south on 57 Avenue extension, a semitrailer can turn to go behind the building. There is a planted median and a trailer may trail right over the median. The build out would be eliminated or depressed so a semitrailer cannot run over the median. Councilmember Bolkcom asked about parking spaces, because the number is not set in stone, because the use of the building is unknown. It is at 112 spaces. Mr. Hickok replied that if a senior building was constructed, it would reduce three of the stalls. Depending on the level of assistance, it may reduce it further. They have planned for the most parking. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if there was any discussion or feedback from Anoka County related to this plan. Mr. Hickok answered that staff did not get any comments back after they received the traffic study. Councilmember Bolkcom asked about the stipulation related to 10%. She asked if they could change up or down 10%. Mr. Hickok said that is correct. 10 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2013 PAGE 10 Councilmember Bolkcom asked if they could change the layout without coming back to City Council. Mr. Hickok said there is some flexibility. Phase 1-3 of the master plan building footprints can change 10% either way, but if they would like to do more office space and less residential, they would have to come back to staff. Councilmember Bolkcom asked for clarification that if they were only one office space they would have to come back. Mr. Hickok said that the 10% would govern some of that; if it is less than 10% but if the footprint is different, staff would make a call and typically bring it back to Council if it changed the character of the development. This leaves staff with some latitude but if the use changes dramatically, staff will bring it back to Council. Councilmember Bolkcom noted that this area would bring different levels of traffic. Mr. Hickok replied yes. Warehouse traffic is very well documented and the greatest demand will be on the corner. Mayor Lund asked about the ins and outs from the development off of East River Road with no median, and if a traffic study would be done. He asked if Anoka County had any future plans for East River Road parkway with medians. Mr. Hickok replied the spacing would have to be a full access intersection based on the East River Road corridor study. There may be a need to signal timings and arm length for example. The overall intersection was meant to be a full operational intersection. Scott Wiesling , John Allen representative, said Mr. Hickok did a good job at outlining the challenges they faced and addressed the critical issues. They look forward to moving ahead with this project and having more discussion about the housing development use and office sites. They are working on getting more feedback about housing on this site. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt Resolution No. 2013-35 with the following 23 stipulations: 1.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 8.Resolution Modifying the Start Times of Workshops and Council Meetings for 2013. Wally Wysopal, City Manager, stated a recommendation is being made to begin City Council meetings 30 minutes earlier. This should not negatively affect the public’s ability to attend meetings. This proposed time would reduce the time between the end of the day and start of the meeting for City staff. Comparing City Council start times to other surrounding cities, Fridley and Blaine are the only cities with a 7:30 start time. Most other cities in the area have their 13 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 22, 2013 PAGE 13 Council meetings start at 7:00 p.m. It is recommended the City Council set the start times for regular workshops at 6:30 p.m. and regular Council meetings at 7:00 p.m. and thereby amend Resolution 2012-71. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if the workshop could be moved up to 6:00 p.m. for meetings that have a bigger agenda. Mayor Lund replied yes; this has been done in the past and he did not see that changing. MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to adopt Resolution No. 2013-36. Seconded by Councilmember Varichak.
