to address the City Council's questions and concerns, a second public hearing notice was placed
in the October 3, 2013 legal section of the Fridley Sun Focus. The continued public hearing was
held on October 28, 2013 and no changes were made to the ordinance. The first reading was
held on November 18�'. Minnesota state law requires a unanimous vote to adopt the ordinance.

MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to approve the minutes as presented. Seconded by Commissioner
Solberg.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIIZPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIlVIOUSLY.
1. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP #13-13, by Aramark Uniform Services, LLC, to
allow limited outdoor storage,generally located at 5330 Industrial Blvd NE.
MOTION by Commissioner Velin to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Saba.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE pITgLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:03
P.M.
Stacy Stromberg, Planner, stated the petitioner, Richard Koenig, with Aramark Uniform Services,
located at 5330 Industrial Boulevard, is seeking a special use permit to allow limited outdoor storage in
the rear yard of the property. The items that need to be stored outside are storage trailers, pallets, empty
drums and totes.
Ms. Stromberg stated the property is located on the northwest corner of 53`d Way and Industrial
Boulevard, in the City's Great Northern Industrial Park. It is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial as are all
surrounding properties. The property owner also owns the vacant parcel directly to the east. The
building was originally constructed in 1975. A building addition was constructed in 1999. In 1992 a
special use permit was issued to allow the construction of a cell tower. As a result the cell tower was
constructed in 1992. That cell tower has seen modification in both 2002 and 2004.
Ms. Stromberg stated this summer the City's Community Development Department hired a Code
Enforcement Intern to do systematic inspections of the City's commercial and industrial properties. As a
8
Planning Commission
November 20, 2013
Page 2 of 13 �
result many of its industrial businesses will be coming before the Planning Commission and City Council
for special use permits for outdoor storage. This special use permit request is one of those that came to
staffls attention during those systematic inspections.
Ms. Stromberg stated City Code allows limited outdoor storage in the industrial districts with a special
use permit that is up to 50 percent of the buildings footprint. The existing building's square footage is
67,955 square feet, so City Code would allow up to 33,977 square feet of outdoor storage on this
property.
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner would like to continue to have two outdoor storage areas for the
storage of pallets, empty drums, and totes, and three storage trailers. One of the storage trailers is used to
store spare parts and the other two are used to store garments. The storage azea connected to the east of
the building is 30 feet by 40 feet(1,200 square feet)and is for the two garment storage trailers. T'hey also
have a storage area on the northeast side of the property that is 30 feet by 50 feet(1,500 square feet)that
is used_for the storage of the trailer with parts, pallets, empty drums and totes. Total squaze footage of
both outdoor storage areas is 2,700 square feet which is well below the allowable outdoor storage azea for
this property.
Ms. Stromberg stated before the proposed special use permit can be issued, several additional
require�nents need to be met. Those specific requirements relate to height, screening, pazking, and the
types of materials allowed to be stored outside.
Ms. Stromberg stated based on the calculations provided to the City by the petitioner on how the interior
space of the building is used, City code would require 190 parking stalls for this site. There are 115
parking stalls on site, of which 22 are used for truck parking. The petitioner has articulated they have
more than enough parking on-site for employees and have never had a parking issue. She was inside the
building yesterday, did a tour of the facility, and the ratios of employees to space was very small. Staff
has not noticed that parking has been a problem, but will stipulate that if it does become a problem,
additional pazking will need to be installed.
Ms. Stromberg sta#ed the screening of storage containers can be difficult and can also become more of a
maintenance issue than the actual container if the screening is not maintained. Therefore, the two
garment storage trailers connected to the east side of the building provide sufficient screening from the
public right of way.
Ms. Stromberg stated the storage area on the northeast side of the property will also be screened through
the use of a storage container on the north side,and existing landscaping that is established on a hill from
the south and Industrial Blvd.
Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner is meeting all of the other code requirements to allow a special use
permit for limited outdoor storage.
Ms. Stromberg stated City staff recommends approval of this special use permit with stipulations as
limited outdoor storage is a permitted special use in the M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning district, provided
specific code requirements are met,subject to stipulations.
Ms. Stromberg stated Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following
stipulations be attached:
9
Planning Commission ,
November 20,2013
Page 3 of 13
,
1. Outdoor storage area shall be limited to the two areas as shown on Exhibit B of the
resolution approving this special use permit request.
2. The types of materials stored within the two outdoor storage areas shall be reviewed and
approved by the Fire Marshal. '
3. If a parking shortage occurs on the site, the petitioner shall develop an agreeable plan
approved by City staff to re-work the interior space of the existing building or fmd other
parking options.
Ms. Stromberg stated she crossed out Stipulation No. 4 after being on-site yesterday which proved there
really is no need for additional screening of the outdoor storage area.
Richard Koenig,Aramark Uniform Services, stated he is the maintenance manager.
Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr.Koenig whether he had any questions about the things Ms. Stromberg
said and is he in agreement with them?
Mr.Koenig replied,yes.
Chairperson Kondrick asked whether he had any problems?
Mr.Koenig replied,no problems with them.
Commissioner Oquist asked about the empty drums, what was in them? Is there hazardous waste or
anything like that?
Mr. Koenig replied, no hazardous waste. It is fabric softener, a solvent they use to wash; but everything
has to be rinsed out and cleaned before putting it outside as the hauler will not take it unless they are clean
and dry.
Chairperson Kondrick stated to Mr.Koenig he is in the clothing preparation,dry cleaning,business.
Mr.Koenig replied,yes.
Commissioner Oquist asked whether the drums are out there temporarily and then someone picks them
up?
Mr.Koenig replied,yes,but they do have to have 60 drums before they take them.
Commissioner Sielaff stated he was satisfied with this SUP request.
MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Saba.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE piTgLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:10

Chairperson Kondrick stated he drove over there. He has no problem with it. He can see how if the
trailers are arranged in a certain way you cannot see what is going on back there.
MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff approving Special Use Permit, SP #13-13, by Aramark Uniform
Services, LLC, to allow limited outdoor storage, generally located at 5330 Industrial Blvd NE with the
following stipulations:
1. Outdoor storage area shall be limited to the two areas as shown on Exhibit B of the
resolution approving this special use permit request.
2. The types of materials stored within the two outdoor storage areas shall be reviewed and
approved by the Fire Marshal.
3. If a parking shortage occurs on the site, the petitioner shall develop an agreeable plan
approved by City staff to re-work the interior space of the existing building or find other
parking options.
Seconded by Commissioner Oquist.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIItPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
2. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Rezoning, ZOA # 13-02, by City of Fridley, to consider rezoning
property, from C-2, General Business to M-2, Heavy Industrial, generally located at 3720
East River Road NE.
MOTION by Commissioner Solberg to open the public heazing. Seconded by Commissioner Oquist.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIlVIOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:12
P.M.
Julie Jones,Planning Manager, stated the latest use of this site was Baggan's Pub, which was foreclosed
and is now owned by Prime Security Bank. The site comprised of two separate lots at the corner of East
River Road and 37�'Ave on Minneapolis border.
Ms. Jones stated this rezoning was initiated by City staff. It is something they have been talking about
internally for about a year. Since the properiy is vacant with no current buyer, the City felt it is a good
time to address this problem which they feel is an incorrect zoning on the property.
Ms. Jones stated the current owner, however, disagrees with staff recommendation to rezone, feeling it
limits their ability to market the site and receive a top value offer on the property. She did provide a copy
of a letter the City received from the owner just about an hour before the meeting started. It is a letter
from Prime Security Bank giving their concerns. They were not planning to have a representative here
tonight; therefore, Ms. Jones encouraged them to send the City something in writing to convey their
opinion on the site. The owner feels that rezoning the property to Industrial would limit their
marketability of the site and limit their ability to receive the top dollar value they would like to have for
the property.
11
Planning Commission
November 20,2013
Page 5 of 13
Ms.Jones stated State Statutes give zoning authority to cities, even without support of the owner. It is in
both the City's and the owner's best interests to see this property repurposed to its highest and best use.
Staff feels strongly that the rezoning will improve the marketability of the site.
Ms. Jones stated in its vacant condition, this site is a strain on City resources. She printed out a report
from just the past six years and there are 12 violations that have occurred just in the past two years and
those are only the ones that are documented. There are a lot of other times where she has simply called
the Bank and told them that the properiy is open for trespass,and they need to secure it rather than send in
a letter. Police need to patrol it regularly in an out-of-the way location. It appears the site is also being
used for unauthorized outside storage.
Ms. Joaes stated the site is currently zoned C-2, General Business. With the lots combined in size it is
2.31 acres of land. The existing building on the site is 10,708 square feet. The vacant building is in poor
condition, as is the parking lot.
Ms. Jones stated the surrounding uses are all heavy industrial. There is a business across 37�'that is in
Minneapolis that is a manufacturing type of business which is industrial. And then Rock-Tenn is across
East River Road on the Minneapolis side,which is the manufacturer of cardboard and has quite a massive
trucking operation. To the north of the property is the Minneapolis Emergency Training facility. Across
East River Road in Fridley is Copart,which is a salvage yard.
Ms.Jones stated the site's zoning originally was M-2 to match surrounding zoning. The first use on site
in 1949 was as a City liquor store and became zoned public. In 1970 a restaurant was added, the liquor
store closed, but rezoning to commercial use, C-2, did not occur until 1975. Different restaurants serving
liquor came and failed after the commercial rezoning,the last one being Baggan's Pub.
Ms. Jones stated the site has deteriorated a lot, especially in the last couple of years - likely due to
inadequate business. The site has not been maintained for decades and now contains a deteriorated
building,parking lot, and landscaping.
Ms. Jones stated M-2 zoning is a better fit. The C-2 zoning was spot zoning and failed because
commercial uses need the synergy neighboring commercial sites offer to succeed.
Ms.Jones stated the site,with lots combined, meets the minimum lot size standards for M-2 zoning. M-
2 zoning would allow most of the uses the owner has had inquiries from. The City has had discussions
with the City of Minneapolis looking at possibly expanding their training facility next door. At this time
they do not have the money in the budget but are interested in it. Hennepin CounTy has also been looking
at it to build another recycling facility in north Minneapolis.
Ms. Jones stated that other than the letter received tonight, staff has received no phone or written
comments from surrounding properties and believes the current C-2 zoning is not appropriate for this site.
M-2 zoning is a better fit for this site and will lead to the site being sold to a long-term, successful user.
Ms. Jones stated one of the concerns expressed in the letter received tonight is a potential buyer of a
vocational school of some sort. There are not a lot of details. That is one use that has not been portrayed
to the City before. In the Zoning Code that use would require the C-2 zoning but is not a permitted use in
the M-2 zoning. They are asking in the letter for the City to hold off on the rezoning for six months. In
light of this new information, staff would still contend the City go ahead with the rezoning as, while the
vocational school use sounds promising, the City has gotten calls from uses that would be a much better
12.

fit in the Industrial zoning. Also, she really questions whether the existing building can be re-used as is
indicated in the letter. It has had severe deterioration on the exterior and there is extensive water damage
as it has been vandalized repeatedly and apparently the plumbing was ripped out of it while the water was
still connected. It is an old building built in 1949 and has had patchwork additions.
Commissioner Sielaff stated regarding a vocational school that was a last minute thing that was brought
up so nothing has been asked about this from the property owner?
Mr. Jones replied, that is correct. The City has not had any inquiries on that use, which is unusual.
Usually the City will hear from someone asking questions to make sure of things - especially from
schools. They receive a lot of inquiries from schools wondering whether something would be permitted
in a zoning district.
MOTION by Commissioner Saba accepting the November 20, 2013, letter from Jay Larsen, Prime
Security Banlc. Seconded by Commissioner Sielaff.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAII2PERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
Commissioner Sielaff asked how long has this been a foreclosed property?
Ms. Jones replied, it went into foreclosure in 2010. She believed it states that in the letter from Prime
Security Bank, and it matches the City's code enforcement records.
Greg Goeke, Director of Properly Services for the City of Minneapolis, stated the City of Minneapolis
has had some on and off discussions with the current owner about acquisition and also planning staff.
However, as they can imagine in an election year with a new Mayor and City Council it is hard to move
forward with large strategic real estate decisions. He does not think they will be able to do anything
serious in discussions until their new council and mayor has had a chance to take the oath of office, cazry
on some other business, etc. They still have an interest in the property. They understand the market
value of it and know that real dollars speak more than intentions.
Mr. Goeke stated they have quite a bit of investrnent in the whole azea, and what may not be visible at
their emergency operations training facility behind the doors is $3 million of technology with which they
monitor key public safety cameras in the downtown district and other commercial corridors. It is an
extension of the City's policing operations. There is the fire training unit there and they also train first
responders from other communities. The apparatus that Ms. Jones was speaking about is part of the
emergency training. They have a special team that is available to the entire metro azea. Minneapolis also
has a long-term investrnent in the City's waterworks. One of the concepts they are working on is a new
facility plan for the public water works facility. It may not be located in that general area or there may be
more involvement with the current property. 1'hey are weighing a couple options and doing time studies,
etc. However,they are nowhere near a decision on that.
Mr. Goeke stated obviously they are not familiaz with the City of Fridley's planning and zoning
classifications but, when they hear Industrial, if they had a little better knowledge of a current use they
might feel like it was something they could live next to comfortably. They are concerned about their
investment and the close proximity to the property as they are the folks that border it.

John Fruetel, Chief of Minneapolis Fire Department, stated obviously he has been closely involved with
the project since its inception. Around 1985 they looked for a new facility and it has taken a long time for
them to find a real quality training facility. It also serves as the greater dimensions of the emergency
operations center. After the fall of the 3 5 W bridge, one of the things that came out of that event is they
were woefully aware of needing an. effective emergency operations center, which this center has turned
into. When he saw, Heavy Industrial, he himself was a little bit concerned about what might move in
next door. Right now the building for their facility is operating on almost a 24/7 basis. If the
Commission gets an opportunity they offered a tour, because it is really interesting to see what the
strategic information system can do.
Fire Chief Fruetel stated he too wishes he was in a position to be able to have a little more flexibility as
they would love to have the subject property.
Commissioner Kondrick asked if they would be interested in acquiring this property if Minneapolis had
the money? Would they be interested in expanding the facility they have now into this area?
Mr. Goeke stated as he works with the Fridley staff, it was difficult to make an offer with a ready to go
project. The project size vs, the acquisition costs and the location, it is very easy for them to say they
would be interested in doing it at that property.
Commissioner Sielaff asked Ms.Jones whether she did say there were other interested parties?
Ms. Jones replied, yes, they have had inquiries a few times from Hennepin County interested in an
industrial use. That is one of the reasons why staff feels the industrial use would serve the property well
because the serious inquiries the City has had on the property have been industrial in nature. However,
Hennepin CounTy is looking at numerous sites; and she has not heard from them lately, but this is one of
the sites they have been looking at for building another waste/recycling facility.
Chairperson Kondrick stated he was having brealcfast with Jim Kodiak and he mentioned that might be
a possible site for the County to build a new recycling plant.
Ms. Jones stated the reason Commissioner Kodiak is knowledgeable about that is there has been a joint
ageement for negotiations going on between Anoka County and Hennepin County to shaze such a
facility.
Mr. Goeke stated the City spent a little over two years working with the County on a jomt recycling and
drop-off center. The acreage needed for that purpose is four or five acres for the storm water
management, parking, and so forth. The City did acquire industrial property at 27� and University for
that purpose, and they have not disclosed of that.

Chairperson Kondrick stated the City of Minneapolis is not ready to move yet for obvious reasons.
They have new people and do not know where the money is going, but he thinks the M-2 zoning is going

to give the City of Fridley many more customer opportunities than it is cwrently zoned. They have all
driven by there thousands of times, and he can see how that would be an appropriate zoning and would
give the cities of Fridley and Minneapolis much more flexibility in terms of usage.
Commissioner Oquist stated he agrees witH that. It has always been sort of a trouble spot. It is all heavy
industrial down there anyways,M-2.
Commissioner Sielaff stated he did not think it appropriate to have Commercial down there.
Commissioner Saba stated he does not have any problem with it.
Commissioner Solberg stated he has no problem with it.

7. Consideration of forwarding EQE Organized Garbage Collection recommendation to City
Council.
Commissioner Velin stated in 2009 because of the citizens' complaints about trucks damaging newly
paved roads, EQEC and City Manager launched studies. The EQEC (Environmental,Quality and Energy
Commission)conducted studies in 2U10 and 2011. The public,haulers and experts participated.
Commissioner Velin stated Fridley has an "Open" waste hauling system. Haulers pay a minimal �
licensing fee to operate in the city. The five licensed haulers (Ace, Allied,,LePage & Sons, Walters,
Waste Management) have customers scattered around the city and their routes vary. Day of the week I
pickups are not the same for each neighborhood.
Commissioner Velin stated an organized system involves the City contracting with one hauler to collect
garbage and yard waste in the entire City(like is done now for recycling)or with a group of haulers that
collect in zones to match their current customer base. These are usually long-term contracts and typically
involve the City handling the administration of the service.
Commissioner Velin stated in April 2010 panel discussions started on benefits and challenges of
organized vs. open collection at EQEC meetings. Surveys and newsletter articles went out to residents.
In May 2010 the Fridley city attorney attended and state and local laws were discussed and it was
clarified that any new collection system must not impair recycling. In July 2010 City staff panelists from
Blaine, Robbinsdale, Columbia Heights, cities that have organized collection, provided input. How to
handle yard waste and bulky items was discussed. In September 2010 air quality like CO2 and
neighborhood health impacts were discussed. In October 2010 Peter Sandhei from the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency presented findings from a waste collection service study. He stated that
substantial licensing fees do not produce enough revenue to compensate cities for road damage.
Commissioner Velin stated in November 2010 Fridley's haulers shared their points of view on orgarrized
vs. open collection systems, voicing opinion that the open system offers residents better service because
of competition. They voiced feaz that small haulers cannot compete if one-hauler systern is selected and
said that axle weight of trucks had decreased over the years and that some haulers are now using natural
gas-burning trucks that have less impactful emissions
Commissioner Velin stated the following are EQEC findings:
(1) The recycling recapture rate is higher with organized garbage progams and more easily
follow Anoka County directives to reduce solid through same message with all haulers;
(2) An MPCA study shows that 73 percent of US Cities outside Minnesota have one-
hauler/neighborhood;
(3) Gazbage trucks are among heaviest on road,based on axle weight;
(4) Minnesota studies between.1993 and 2004 show lower cost for organized collection (but
individual contracts may be less than if switch to organized takes place);
(5) City would incur administrative costs but currently has many code enforcement cases
involving lack of garbage service(over 100 annually)which also involves staff time;
16
Planning Commission
November 20, 2013
Page 1 Q of 13
(6) Reducing truck noise and air pollution would reduce property owner complaints and
match Comprehensive plan goals;
(7) Increasing safety in our residential neighborhoods is important for encouraging walking
and biking:
(8) Food waste collection could be done more uniformly. Up to 30 percent of waste stream
is food waste. Too many plastics in waste stream also, marketing to reduce this may be
easier; and
(9) With organized collection haulers lose pricing flexibility and are concerned about smaller
haulers' livelihoods.
Commissioner Velin stated Dr. Wiley from Minnesota State University-Mankato is working on a model
for assessing road impact (2011 preliminary paper issued, model in process, fall 2013). The 2013 MN
Legislature passed new procedures for Organized Collection: Statute#115 A-94. The 2013 Public Works
Director Kosluchar presented a memo on Fridley road impacts from heavy trucks in residential areas in
November, summarizing that the City could potentially extend the life of residential streets 7 yeazs and
reduce street repair costs by $100,000 per year if there were one rather than five garbage trucks going
down residential streets each week.
Commissioner Velin stated ties to Fridley 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals are: Protecting Fridley's
natural environment, reducing air and noise pollution; improving common health and quality of life,
shifting away from polluting and wasteful practices, working to minimize conflicts between different
modes of transportation,and improving overall safety and quality of life.
Commissioner Velin stated the 2013 EQEC Recommendations to Council are:
(1) That the Fridley City Council explore the option of organizing City garbage collection
(per 2013 MN Statute 115A.94);
(2) That the City Council encourage a process that allows the existing five licensed
residential haulers to divide their existing Fridley market share into zones (per 2013 MN
Statute 115A.94);
(3) That if an organized garbage system is developed in the City, it should include single-
family homes through 12-unit aparttnent buildings(like recycling);and
(4) That the EQEC would be willing to conduct further studies if the Council felt it met the
statutory requirements for considering organized garbage collection.
Chairperson Kondrick thanked Commissioner Velin and commended him and the other members of the
EQEC for putting a lot of time and effort into this.
Commissioner Velin replied, four years they have been working on this.
Commissioner Sielaff asked where do they go from here now? To the City Council?
Commissioner Velin stated under the statute the Council has a process to follow. They can vote to
approve it or turn it down. The process is available if they want to use it.
Commissioner Sielaff asked Commissioner Velin whether his recommendation is to go forward with it?
Commissioner Velin replied,to go forward with it.
17

Commissioner Oquist stated he had a bit of a problem with No. 2 and asked if it was legal? Regarding
the five existing haulers divide their existing Fridley marketing shazes. Companies cannot get together
and say, I am going to take care of the south side and you take care of the north side. He asked whether
somebody has reviewed No. 2?
Ms. Jones replied, it is not only legal, it is required by the law. The reference that Commissioner Velin
made to the 2013 statute,there was an amendment to Chapter 115 in State Statutes that now require cities
that pass a resolution to study organized collection, that they have to start that process by allowing the
existing licensed haulers 60 days to discuss among themselves and organize themselves into a consortium
should they choose to do that. That has always been a process a lot of cities have followed and
encouraged. However,now it is actually required in the law the City has to allow 60 days for that process
to attempt to happen.That requirement was put into place to protect the small haulers.
Commissioner Oquist asked as to specifically the hauler question, he still kind of questions this if it is
truly legal to do that; allow companies to get together and decide where they are going to do their work.
He remembered in the past that was not iegal.
Ms. Jones stated Minneapolis is handled by MIZI, Minneapolis Refuse Inc., which is a consortium of a
number of haulers.
Commissioner Oquist stated this is not unique to haulers then. It is legal for haulers to get together.
Ms. Jones replied, yes, it is. They have situations where it has happened. Champlin is another location
that has an organized group of their existing haulers. That is what the EQEC is saying; that they support
this, and the City should go that direction. To try and keep the existing five haulers and encourage them
to work among themselves, divide up the accounts they have ir� designated azeas of the community, so
they all still have the same number of accounts but aze in a concentrated area.
Commissioner Sielaff asked whether the haulers themselves wo�rld decide what parts of the City they
would have. He asked whether the City be overseeing this at all? He could see haulers going door to
door trying to get more customers as they need a greater share.
Chairperson Kondrick stated part of the problem is they decide what area they want to have and set the
price. They could do so according to what type of neighborhood it is. The City Council is going to have
to have a say in this.
Chairperson Kondrick stated it would be nice to have fewer trucks coming through their neighborhoods.
Ms. Jones stated in the system with the five haulers if they were to become a consortium, say it is FRI
(Fridley Refuse Inc.) like so many cities have done, what happens is that consortium then contracts with
the City; and the price is set uniformly across the City. Every hauler chazges the same rate.
Commissioner Oquist asked, if they then want to raise their rates, like a utility company does, do they
have to come to the City and request the rate hike?
Ms.Jones replied,right-just like the City does for recycling.
Commissioner Saba asked about the yard waste.
18
Planning Commission
November 20, 2013
Page 12 of 13
Ms. Jones replied, in these systems some cities have the yard waste incorporated into their recycling
contract and sometimes it is incorporated into the refuse contract. She would assume since it is not
currently in the City's recycling contract, it would end up being part of the refuse contract.
Commissioner Sielaff asked where they are at right now the City Council will make a decision on some
type of a schedule?
Ms. Jones replied, Commissioner Velin is planning on presenting what he did this evening to the City
Council on December 2. It will then be up to them to decide whether they want to go full fledge into it,
they can pass the resolution, start the timeline going. Or they may decide they want to study it some '
more. One of the reasons the EQEC made that fourth recommendation is, if the City Council needed
them to, because of another change to the recent amendment to the State Statute is the City now has to
designate a committee to study it. That happened after the EQEC already spent three years studying it as
a committee;therefore,unfortunately they will likely have to start over again.

OTHER BUSINESS:
1. Update on TOD Master Plan Grant Review of the Islands of Peace park plan.
Ms. Jones stated staff wanted to give the Commission the map she provided as an informational item. It
is a product of the Livable Communities TOD master plan grant the City received from the Metropolitan
Council last December. Unfortunately they found out once they got the grant agreement they could not
use the consultant grant funds to hire a consultant to do any planning of park properiy. The Islands of
Peace Park property was a key component in the whole TOD master plan area the City wanted to take on.
Basically, staff is taking on master planning tlie part of the Transit Oriented Development zoning district
the City received special legislative approval for which to develop a transit tax increment financing
district. It is not the whole area of the TOD district, it is basically Main Street on over to the river. Staff
feels that incorporating access to the river is a key part of seeing that whole area redevelop over time.
This is a long-range,multi-decade-long plan.
Ms.Jones stated what staff did is work with Anoka County Parks and hire a consultant without the grant
funds, and this plan worked out just for the Islands of Peace Pazk. T'hey will see there is a larger area on
the map with some marked up things; however, staff had to do some of that because they had to look at
how the 57�'Avenue connection was going to come into play with that area of the pazk. All are happy
with it and they are good to go with the rest of the master plan project. They did send out proposals today
for the rest of the master plan project they need to finish by the end of 2014.
Ms.Jones stated that this process staff is moving forward on is going to involve public meetings, public
input; but they really needed to proceed with this part of it, too, because Anoka County was doing a
master plan update with Metropolitan Council's parking department for the Riverfront Regional Park.
Islands of Peace Park is actually technically part of Riverfront Park south of the freeway. They have done
19
Planning Commission

that for funding purposes so they can obtain federally funding for the regional park in that azea, and it
gave them enough acreage to include that. It is kind of interesting because it is all land owned by the
City, but it is under a joint powers agreement with the County to maintain it with the County facilities
there.
Ms. Jones stated it is a rather unique situation; they worked out a good partnership on it and came u
with a good plan, a good start, to see how they can tie in new housing to that area and really take
advantage of the access to the river and the trails they currently have funding for and the ones they hope
to have in the future with that transit tax increment financing money.
Chairperson Kondrick stated in general what it means is that the City, the County, and Metropolitan
Council feel this area is going to grow because of a lot of different things; and that this is going to provide
some people with some recreational opportunities who live in that general area. For example,the people
at Georgetown Apartments, and all around that area people can use this for recreational opportunities,
corcect?
Ms.Jones replied,as they can now. They are actually looking at expanding the park over time.

Land Use Application
Special Use Permit #13-13
RE UEST
The petitioner, Richard Koenig, with Aramark Uniform Services, located at 5330 Industrial Blvd., is
seeking a special use permit to allow limited outdoor storage in the rear yard of the property. The
items that need to be stored outside are storage trailers, pallets, empty drums and totes.
HISTORY AND ANALYSIS
The property is located on the northwest corner of �
53�d Way and Industrial Blvd, in the City's Great �...:��*�4�������
Northern Industrial Park. It is zoned M-2, Heavy �
Industrial as are all surrounding properties. The �� �
property owner also owns the vacant parcel directly ;�
to the east. The building was originally constructed ��o�=���•���
in 1975. A building addition was constructed in
1999. In 1992, a special use permit was issued to f3q��'"" �
:
allow the construction of a cell tower. As a result, ,_ ; �
the cell tower was constructed in 1992. That cell �
tower has seen modification in both 2002 and 2004. � 0 SzMP
Y
This summer, the City's Community Development ' � N
Department hired a Code Enforcement Intern to do systematic inspections of our commercial and
industrial properties. As a result, many of our industrial businesses will be coming before the Planning
Commission and City Council for special use permits for outdoor storage. This special use permit
request is one of those that came to staff's attention during those systematic inspections.
City Code allows limited outdoor storage in the industrial districts with a special use permit that is up to
50% of the buildings footprint. The existing buildings square footage is 67,955 square feet, so City code
F` r�':� "�' ,�,;,. would allow up to 33,977 sq.ft. of outdoor storage on
`� ",: � �� this property.
�� 2��
,
�' ". The petitioner would like to continue to have two
�r,� AIL'
' �' ��' outdoor storage areas for the storage of pallets, empty
� drums, and totes, and three storage trailers. One of the
�-
u
storage trailers is used to store spare parts and the
-��i- I other two are used to store garments. The storage area
-� ��<�- �-'°���� connected to the east of the building is 30 ft. by 40 ft.
(1,200 sq.ft.) and is for the two garment storage
trailers. They also have a storage area on the northeast
side of the property that is 30 ft. by 50 ft. (1,500 sq.ft.)that is used for the storage of the trailer with
parts, pallets, empty drums and totes. Total square footage of both outdoor storage areas is 2,700 sq.
ft. which is well below the allowable outdoor storage area for this property.
Before the proposed special use permit can be issued, several additional requirements need to be met.
Those specific requirements relate to height, screening, parking, and the types of materials allowed to
be stored outside.
24
Based on the calculations provided to the City by the petitioner on how the interior space of the
building is used, City code would require 190 parking stalls for this site. There are 115 parking stalls on
site, of which 22 are used for trucking parking. The petitioner has articulated they have more than
enough parking on-site for employees and have never had a parking issue. Staff hasn't noticed that
parking has been a problem, but will stipulate that if it does become a problem, additional parking will
'a °�r� �� '�'�� r` k �,,k�"; ��� need to be installed.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF
F�°� December 2, 2013
To: Wally Wysopal, City Manage�i���
From: Darin R. Nelson, Finance Director�
Date: November 26, 2013
Re: Resolution Approving Special Assessment Deferral
Staff received a request from a resident this fall to defer the 2013 Street Improvement Project St.
2013-01 assessment for her property located at 7569 Jackson Street. Minnesota State Statutes
authorize cities to defer special assessment payments for certain senior and disabled individuals.
The deferment of assessments may be permitted at the discretion of the City Council. The City
Council by virtue of Resolution 14-1995 has established a number of factors as a basis for granting
special assessment deferments. Staff has reviewed the required factors and has determined the
resident meets the necessary factors and is eligible for the deferment.
Staff has had discussions with the applicant and she is awaze that during the deferral period interest
at 5.25% is accruing and will be added to the outstanding principal balance each year. Assessment
deferrals are an option for individuals that have financial difficulty paying for an improvement.
However,the long-term cost of the assessment can become substantially more burdensome given
the cost of the accrued interest over the deferral period.
Repayment of the assessment will begin once the property is no longer eligible for deferment, such
as the sale of the property or the property is no longer homesteaded. The repayment timeframe is
dependent upon the cause of the property no longer being eligible for deferment. For example, if
the property sold, repayment of the entire assessment would be due upon closing of the property.
However, if the property remains in the owner's name but is no longer homesteaded, the property
would be able to repay the assessment over a ten year timeframe.
In addition to the resident meeting necessary requirements and completing an application process,
Anoka County requires the City Council to pass a resolution approving the deferral. If approved by
the Council, staff will be submitting a copy of the resolution along the necessary paperwork to the
County on Tuesday, December 3.
The deferral of this one assessment will not pose a financial burden on the Street Capital
Improvements Fund.
Staff recommends that Council approve the attached resolutio�deferring the assessment for the
property located at 7569 Jackson Street in regards to the 2013 Street Improvement Project St. 2013-

FRIDLEY
TO: Walter T. Wysopal, City Manager, City Manage���"r'. PW13-073
FROM: James P. Kosluchar, Public Works Director
Layne R. Otteson, Assistant Public Works Director
DATE: November 25, 2013
SUBJECT: Initiate 2014 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2014-01
The attached resolution directs staff to prepare a feasibility report and initiate preliminary design
and plan preparation for the proposed 2014 Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2014-01. The
feasibility report will address the scope of the work in the North Industrial area. Total length of the
project is 3.4 miles. Please refer to the attached Figure A.
The North Industrial area is generally commercial and industrial properties bound by University
Avenue and the BNSF railroad from Commerce Circle South to 83`d Avenue. This project area
was proposed for pavement rehabilitation in 2011 and 2013 but was deferred to be constructed in
2014 as directed by the City Council. All streets were built with underground utilities, asphalt
pavement and concrete curbing and generally constructed from 1968 to the early 80's.
Specific streets are being targeted within the area based on pavement condition and maintenance
requirements. The segments were selected based upon projected pavement maintenance needs,
as well as the Pavement Condition Rating which indicates pavement structural integrity and ride
quality on a scale of 5(worst)to 35(best). Regular rehabilitation of the pavement under a planned
program with proper timing allows us to minimize costs of maintenance throughout the roadway
segment's life cycle.
Preparation of the feasibility report will allow staff to determine what construction is needed and
can take place within the CIP budget. Preliminary discussions with staff and property owners have
resulted in identifying concerns with regard to pavement structure, drainage and water main.
These concerns will be thoroughly analyzed by staff during the feasibility and design phases of
project development. The feasibility report will provide a recommendation to the City Council on
what construction should take place in 2014.
As in past projects, we �repared a draft feasibility report and then moved ahead with a project
open house on July 24 h. With this sequence, we are able to obtain feedback from property
owners on candidate project segments and incorporate any concerns into the feasibility report
before it is presented to the City Council. The timing of this workshop served to provide advance
notice to affected residents and businesses of the project and projected assessments. In addition,
it allows staff more time for project development and design, allowing incorporation of scope
changes, local concerns, and adjustments relating to budget.
32
On July 24 an open house was held for property owners adjacent to and within the areas affected
by the proposed project. There were 15 attendees including Council Member Ann Bolkcom. Staff
delivered a forty-five minute presentation highlighting project overview, construction impacts,
anticipated schedule, draft budget, and estimated assessments. The presentation concluded by
emphasizing the importance of communicating with staff regarding any questions or concerns at
the open house and thereafter. Staff responded to questions regarding the project following the
presentation. No owners expressed concern over the need for the project, and several owners
expressed support for the work.
ftems of concern that were brought forth by owners at the meeting will be addressed in the
feasibility report.
The attached resolution orders the preparation of a feasibility report and preliminary plans for the
project. The scope of the proposed report will address pavement, street improvements, water
main, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer replacement.
Staff recommends the City Council moves to adopt the attached resolution to initiate the 2014
Street Rehabilitation Project No. ST2014-01.

Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
City of Fridley, Minnesota
Mayor and City CounciL•
Pursuant to the City's Home Rule Charter, submitted herewith are the Revised 2013 and
2014 Budgets. This combined document contains information to provide the citizens of Fridley,
their elected officials, City staff and other interested parties with a description of the proposed
municipal services and investments for the coming year as well as the cost and means of paying
for these proposals. In addition to serving as a recommended work plan, the budget document
incorporates departmental performance indicators and departmental goals and objectives. The
budget is expected to assign objective measures in these categories which assist residents in
determining whether the City is achieving its overall mission while providing a reasonable return
on their tax investment.
Overview
As Fridley becomes a fully developed community with a stable population,the ability to
maintain, improve, or expand the types of services provided to our residents continues to evolve
and present new challenges. This bt�dget reflects the changes necessitated by the City's maturity,
current and future fiscal restraints, and it attempts to respond to market pressure and citizen-
driven requests through certain innovative but fiscally sound public service policies. One such
example is the response to citizen request for the expansion of City plowing of certain sidewalks
and trails. The benefit of these expanded services is greater mobility of pedestrians and
bicyclists. An expansion of this service is consistent with Council policies regarding
Transportation Oriented Development and making the community more livable. The costs to
achieve this goal, which are ongoing, are labor, materials and capital equipment. On the other
hand, some of these requests have resulted in one-time revenue sources being allocated to
activities such as emergency weather sirens. Both of these examples illustrate the complexity of
delivering the necessary and desired services with limited resources.
The City continues to monitor operational expenditures to achieve cost savings without
negatively impacting service levels. Areas where the City has realized savings include
reorganization of the rental inspection program from Fire to Community Development and the
City Clerk from Finance to City Manager's Office. Positions consolidation has also taken place
in the Finance Department in anticipation of a new Finance software computer system coming in
2014. In the area of capital equipment, the City has taken a strategic approach to the planning
and acquisition of equipment. Funding sources are designed not to impact the operation levy. We
48
continue to re-evaluate numerous purchases where extending the useful life of some capital
equipment could be achieved through renovation or reuse.
In accordance with the City Charter and State Statute, a preliminary budget, along with the
proposed 2013 tax levy collectible in 2014 was adopted by the City Council on August 26, 2013.
With some changes from the preliminary estimates, this budget includes property tax supported
funds (General, Debt Service, and Capital Projects) as well as all other operating or capital funds
presented as a Special Revenue and Enterprise Funds.
As mentioned above, this budget is more than a financial document. It reflects the City's plans,
policies, practices, and goals regarding service objectives and sound resource management. The
budget document is a critical tool used in the City's realization of its vision. As the City's
operations and finances become increasingly sophisticated, measuring performance simply by
budgetary cost containment is inadequate for determining success. In 2014 we will continue to
improve on our capability to measure outcomes and create budget linkages so the public can
better understand the performance of their tax dollar.
Fiscal Climate
The City's overall financial condition mirrors that of the State's. Fortunately for us the State has
experienced improvements in both its fiscal and economic climate. While overall property values
in the City declined again there are many signs of improvement such as the increased numbers of
homes sold and homes newly constructed. We should not take this as evidence that we are out of
the woods and on our way back to the prosperity levels experienced prior to 2009. We must
continue to be diligent about the effectiveness of our spending and more self-reliant on revenues.
We should not wither in the face of this challenge but invest wisely in strategic planning and be
courageous in its defense.
The Future
The aspirational future of the City of Fridley remains high and the prospects for its achievement
are great. This combined with a recovery of the private market contributes to a winning attitude.
And, so much of this winning attitude is the result of past practices and policies demanded and
achieved by previous Councils and administrations. Make no mistake about it, we have benefited
greatly from their actions. We have learned our lesson about not depending too greatly on other
levels of government for financial support. Therefore, we continue the practice of not depending
on LGA to fund operations. In another year, we intend to be able to purchase the necessary
vehicles and equipment without debt financing. Our water and sewer systems will derive the
necessary funds to be self-sufficient in order to receive the necessary and required
improvements. Additionally, there is a spirit of commitment on the part of the employees to
serve in the best interests of the public by constantly seeking ways to improve public services
while keeping costs under control.
The City will need to be prepared for changes emanating from other levels of government in the
form of mandates. One such mandate addressed in the 2014 budget and will continue to be of
cost concern into the future is the Affordable Health Care and Portability Act. The redistributive
financial effect of this law is unfolding daily. Consequently, both the cost of insurance directly
attributable to this law is $60,000 in 2014. As early as 2017 the City may face penalties due to
our modest plans being determined to be rich in benefit. Estimates that without management
action to change plan offerings the City could pay up to $80,000 in penalties. Take this to mean
49
nothing less than the environment is constantly evolving and difficult to predict its financial
impact.
Guiding Factors
The 2014 Budgets were developed during a time of managerial transition. The City Manager
retired after a considerable tenure. Despite the loss of senior leadership the Interim City Manager �,
and Finance Director, Darin Nelson, was able to not only keep the ship afloat but usher in new �
procedures and perspectives to budgeting. One of these new perspectives was to us outcome
indicators developed,by department heads. The result was a higher level of analysis conducted
by the Mayor and Council when they reviewed the Budget. He also integrated the Capital
Improvement Plan as a decision making tool for the General Operational Budget. To Darin's
credit, the process was well received by the Mayor and Council and the Department Heads. Into
the future, we intend to continue to integrate work done by the Council related to strategic
planning into the budget process. These procedural improvements resulted in a budget that
focuses on maintaining core services while planning for the needs of the future.

operations, debt obligations, and capital equipment. The levy represents a$258,807 or 2.3%
increase from 2013 tax levy.
The chart below provides the t� impact for three different home valuation scenarios. The ta3ces ,
represented in this chart are only the City's share of a property's total tax liability. '

Conclusion
As the staffs' role in the 2014 Budget preparation phase comes to a close I would like to
recognize and thank the extraordinary efforts of Darin Nelson as Finance Director and Interim
City Manager. His leadership and commitment made this budget a reality. Also to the
Department Managers I extend my appreciation for stepping up into a new role of budget
involvement. The final and most important decisions now rest with the Mayor and City Council.
Staff stands ready to assist the City Council in any way necessary and looks forward not only to
final budget approval but to implementing this work plan.
Sincerely,
iZ�

Budaet Comments/Issues•
• Healthcare Reform will significantly change the landscape of benefits and Human Resources administration,
not only from a administration and financial perspective, but in supporting staff and providing communication. It is
expected to cost an additional 3-5% in taxes with additional excise taxes and uncertainty to continue into 2014.
• Due to aging workforce and baby boomers starting to retire,we will see an increase in retirements and
staffing efforts. In addition, changes in the PERA's Police and Fire Pension Fund will likely result in 4-5 additional
staffers to retire in 2014.
•Along with a newer workforce, training and staff development initiatives are being planned for 2014.

• The Elections division reorganized is now under the City Management department.
•An increase in the budget is due to the new election equipment/maintenance agreement with Anoka
County and the hiring of a temporary employee to help with absentee voting during the two election cycles.
While 2014 is a non-presidential election and the voter turnout is usually lower, the City still has to staff the
precincts with the same number of election judges. In addition, due to legislative changes to absentee ballots,
we may have more individuals completing in-person absentee voting as they no longer need an excuse to use
an absentee ballot.

Budaet Comments/Issues•
• The 2014 budget for the Accounting Division generalfy supports current level services, with the exception of
anticipated increased participation in on online utility billing by water/sewer customers and the continued multi-
year installation plan of automatic meter reading water meters (AMR's). Savings/costs of the utility billing change
and AMR's will be realized in the Utility Fund. The Accounting Division is also anticipated to go live with a new
financial system during the year.
•The Finance Department reorganized in the fall of 2013,with parts of the reorganization taking place in 2013
and the remainder slated for the beginning of 2014. the Accounting Division personnel was decreased by one
half-time FTE. Changes in processes and other efficiencies have allowed for a reduction in staffing needs. Other
changes for the department include the addition of a half-time FTE in the Assessing Division to account for an
increased petition case load along with the reduction of one FTE within the City Clerk/Records division.

• The 2014 budget for the Assessing Division provides for current level of services, but does address the need for
additional staff to address the continual high number of tax petitions. An additional half-time FTE will be
dedicated to residential appraising, allowing the current residential appraiser to assist the City Assessor with
commercial tax petitions. With the addition of a half-time FTE,the need for seasonal appraiser is eliminated.
• The City continues to have a substantial number of tax court petitions which may impact costs for"Other
Services &Charges" if settlements cannot be reached and appraisals need to be completed.
•Additional education and designation requirements mandated by the State will increase our education expense
in 2014 by approximately$600.
• Dues and license fees will also increase by$400 with the additional staff member.

Bud�et Comments/Issues•
• Other Services and Charges are increasing in the 2014 budget for the MIS Division due to a change in
managed print services. Print services will be accounted for within the MIS division rather than being allocated to
other departments in order to better manage service contracts and achieve city-wide cost savings. The MIS
budget increased, but other departments will see decreases in managed print services. fn addition, approximately
$4,000 is being dedicated to city-wide application/software training.
• Tracking all service requests leads to larger number of cases for 2013 and beyond. Previously, only requests
requiring�4 hours or more to close were tracked. This change also leads to a reduction in the amount of time
requests remain open and the percentage of requests that are closed within one business day.
• The proliferation of mobile devices in 2013 and 2014 raises number of devices supported.
• Change to project planning&funding process in 2013 enables more projects to be undertaken going forward.

• In 2014 one of the key focuses of the building staff beyond their required plan reviews, inspections, permit
processing, etc., will be the scanning of the building address files to assure that the items are consistently stored
with all other electronic data for the City. This will increase the efficiency of the building division's process as well
as making the building file data more easily assessable to both the internal and external customers
• Building activity wise, the Building Division staff is looking forward to a very busy 2014. Measuring the
potential for new construction, by that which is being reviewed in the planning stages during 2013, all indications
point to a very solid 2014 building season.

Budaet Comments/tssues•
• Beginning in January of 2014, Rental Inspections is being reorganized and control is being shifted to the
Community Development Department. Community Development already inspects the exterior of building for code
violations. Coordinating interior and exterior inspections increases efficiency and enhances customer service:
•The budget impact of this reorganization is budget neutral. Rental Inspections will have two 32-hour per
week inspectors responsible for inspecting the City's rental stock. The expenditure related to the additional
inspector will be covered from the savings from not having a dedicated Administrative Assistant. Administrative
duties will be covered by existing staff within the Community Development Department.
•There a few items needed to successfully transition Rental Inspections. These costs are being covered by
the remaining Section 8 funds that have accumulated over the years. These funds must be used on housing
related costs, which rental inspection qualifies for. A transfer of$32,306 from Section 8 to the General Fund will
cover all transition costs.

third location and/or the feasibility of remodeling the Highway 65 location. The Highway 65 location is in need of
major maintenance and renovation, and a market study will aid in determining the appropriate direction to best
allocate funding.
• In 2014, MnDOT is planning a major reconstruction of Highway 65, it is anticipated that this construction
activity will have impact on sales.
. The 2014 budget includes an assistant liquor store manager position. This position replaces a full-time clerk
position that has been vacant since the spring of 2013. An assistant manager will the allow the manager to focus on
marketing and other promotional activities slated to begin in 2014.

Subject: Public Hearing for Rezoning Request,ZOA#13-02 for 3720 East River Road
INTRODUCTION
The City staff is proposing to rezone the property located at 3720 East River Road,owned by Prime
Security Bank from C-2, General Business to M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning. Rezoning this property will
allow uses that better fit the surrounding uses than the current commercial zoning.
The current zoning of C-2,General Business was established back in the 1970's when a restaurant
desired to co-exist on the site with a municipal liquor store.Several restaurant uses have existed on the
site since and all have fai�ed to survive on this site,which is isolated from any other commercial uses
nearby.Staff contends that the decision to rezone the property to C-2 years ago to accommodate an
existing use was a poor legal decision, and should be corrected at this time while the building is vacant
and up for sale.
The existing owner of the site, a bank that bought the site under foreclosure, is not in support of the
rezoning as they feel it will limit their ability to quickly sell the property to a willing seller.State Statute
does not require the owner of the property to support the rezoning and gives cities authoring to rezone
property as if finds appropriate for a particular site. So far, in the three years the property has been up
for sale, staff has received just as many serious industrial use inquiries as commercial use inquiries on
this property.While the owner's goal is to recover their investment in the property quickly,staff's goal
for the property is to see the site occupied by a long-term successful user that is a good fit into the
surrounding area.
The site meets the minimum lot size required for an M-2 district property of 1.5 acres if the two parcels
encompassing the site are combined.The property has a lot size of 2.31 acres.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At the November 20, 2013, Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for ZOA#13-02.
The owner did not have a representative at the hearing, but submitted a letter voicing their opp.osition
to the rezoning, which was received into the public record (see attachment). Representatives of the City
�
103
of Minneapolis spoke to convey Minneapolis' interest in possibly purchasing the property in the future
to expand their emergency preparedness training area.They also expressed concern about how a new
heavy industrial use adjacent to their site would affect their operations.After some discussion,the
Planning Commission recommended approval of rezoning,ZOA#13-02.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing for Rezoning Request, ZOA#13-02 at
its December 2, 2013 meeting.

RE UEST
For several months, City Staff has been discussing �<�' =
��� �„ .s �e:�,
the need to rezone the privately owned property at ��4 ; �
a;�
3720 East River Road from commercial zoning to
industrial zoning to help the site realize � �t f• -�;-,, �
development and to attract in its highest and best ""� � r
,�.
use. Staff feels the site is better suited as an � _.. '���..-. ��. �
p!�'f ;�,�w �i
industrial site due to its location, surrounded by g�� � �� i �`�����i�l I��!„�����li` �� ;
other industrial uses. Since the property has sat �
vacant for about three years now, following a
foreclosure, staff felt now would be a good time to
initiate a rezoning. Staff approached representatives
of the bank, which currently owns the site (Prime Security Bank, 1305 Vierling Dr.,Shakopee,
MN 55379), about the rezoning. There were mixed feelings among the bank representatives
about the benefits of the rezoning. Their approval of a rezoning action however is not required.
If the City finds a rezoning to be in the best interests of the City, the City may initiate a rezoning
process.
SITE DESCRIPTION
The property at 3720 East River Road was last used as Baggan's Pub. It is zoned C-2, General
Business. All of the surrounding uses are M-2, Heavy Industrial, zoning, however. In addition,
the site is quite isolated at the far southern border of the City and has no nearby commercial
uses to support it. Many of the uses that potential buyers of the site have proposed uses that
would fit better under industrial zoning. The owner had a purchase agreement with a funeral
home, but after three years, that purchase has failed to materialize.
There are two parcels that comprise the site. Collectively, they meet the minimum 1.5 acre lot
size requirement for M-2 zoning. The existing building has water damage inside due to broken
pipes that resulted from repeated vandalism inside the building. It is highly likely that the
concrete block building will need to be demolished and replaced. The building and the parking
lot are severely blighted.
SITE HISTORY
In 1949, the site at 3720 East River Road became the location of Fridley's first municipal liquor
store. There was also a municipal liquor store located on what is now the Shorewood
restaurant site and a third store was located near the intersection of University Avenue and
Mississippi Street. In 1960, the Public Works Director, Harry H. Kirchman, asked the City
Manager, Earl Wagner,to consider rezoning the 3720 property where the liquor store resided
from M-2, heavy Industrial to C-2, General Business, since the site directly adjacent and to "the
rear of our Liquor store" was being considered for a large ballroom. The ballroom would have
been 100" x 120' and would be similar to Schlief's Little City. It would employ big-name
orchestras and would serve set-ups only. That rezoning did not occur.
106
Though the Fridley Liquor Store on the 3720 East River Road site was a public use, the zoning
initially was M-2, Heavy Industrial. Maps show the site as M-2, Heavy Industrial until 1962 when
the zoning designation is shown as "P"to coincide with the City's ownership of the site.
In 1970 the site was sold to George Nicklow and became George's Lounge and Restaurant. The
City liquor store became a tenant in the restaurant space, but only existed for only a short time
after that change.
i
On July 14, 1975 the City held a public hearing to consider a rezoning of the 3720 site from M-2
to C-2. Since the site was no longer owned by the City, and owned by George Nicklow, the site's
zoning had reverted back to M-2, since that is what it was zoned prior to becoming a publicly-
owned property. Richard Harris,then Chair of the Fridley Planning Commission, spoke to the
Council at the rezoning hearing and expressed his concern about the potential of this site being
considered as spot zoned by their actions to rezone it to C-2, General Business. The City
Attorney at that time indicated that, "The property is zoned "P" for public use and would have
to be rezoned." He said, "The City would have some obligation to deliver the title for the
purpose the property was sold." He said, "If the property is burned or damaged more than 50%,
it would not be replaced, because it is non-conforming." He said, "This rezoning would only be
fair to the man that bought the property."
ANLAYSIS
The property was then rezoned to C-2, General Business soon after its July public hearing in
1975. In the succeeding years the site went through a number of transformations in name at
least, sometime fairly major building modifications were made as well. Known for everything
from unauthorized adult entertainment to late night parking lot fights and robberies, it soon
became clear that the tiny island of commercial zoning in the dark (poorly lit) sea of industrial
was not good for the businesses on the site, or the City's reputation, or the police budget for
that matter.
Inordinate numbers of police calls to this site have made it clear its secluded location invites
activities that could well harm the health, safety, and welfare of those patrons who choose to
visit the site. There simply has not been enough synergy to help a commercial entity in this
area. Other like businesses often add an eyes on the street element that helps like businesses
look out for each other. There are no other restaurants or other commercial uses in close
proximity to this site, so the eyes on the street and like businesses watching out for one
another is not something that this site and its owners have been able to benefit from.
As an industrial site however, it exceeds the minimum lot requirements and the M-2 zoning
would allow the current owners a broader spectrum of uses. In fact,this zoning would open up
the site for those who may be looking to find a well-suited industrial site, or they could have
retail (including restaurant under the provisions of the M-2, district language- certain
conditions apply) on the site.
With the upcoming redevelopment of the FMC site nearby, there may be new interest and
opportunity in this area in general and providing a site like this that is properly zoned for its

RE:Consider rezanir�g property,which is lotated at 3720�River Rd,from C-2,Gene�al Busin��.s
to M-2,Heavy indust�iaf
Dear lulis,
!am sending this(etter as�repres�ntative of#qe site owner,Prime Security Bank"ASB". PSB
fioreclvsed�nd took awnership qf the subje�t property on 9/23/10. P56 bid$855k at fihe sherifE
sale,paid over$200k in real estate taxes,and ov�r$SOk in othef expenses. PSB's goai is to se!!
the properky�s fast as pos.sibfe while mitigating ftirther losses. It is PSB's and our Realtors(Exit
Realty, BiN Pankonin)opinion that the�st possibte zoning for the property would have it
remain as G2 and nat timit the interested businesses.
7here are three main concerns with rezoning the property to M-2 iieavy lndustrial. (I) Limited
interest from businesses that would qualify for Feeavy indusErial zoning. {2) Real Estate Taxes
on the prope�ty are far too high for an industrial use to pay. Th�current re�l esta#e taxes drive
a!!industrial users�w�y.(3� Site is r�ot lat�e enough for industrial use.
(1� Since takir►g ownership,tF�e properiy has been under purch�se�greemen#with�
fu�eral home corr�pariy for a m�jority of th�time. Th�pA was considered a serious
offer�s a signifi��ar�t non-refundable dawn paym�r�t was abtained, �he PA expired on
May 3i,2+D�.3;at xhat time Pss el�ted t�hire$itl Pankonin af�xit Realty to market the
property. Pankonin sta#es that he r�cei�ed 2-4 cails per w�eek an the property. The
property has b�en shown Lo 6 funerai hame�wners,ev�nt centers, car lat,truck r�pair,
storage company,and the most serious prospect a hair training cen#er/r�taitJ saion.
Pankonin states that he has received no interest from industria) users due to the
incredibly high real esta#e taxes. (You cnuld argue that the Truck Repair would be
industrial}. The site is desirabie for general business as it's close to NE Minneapotis and
dowrttown,it's accessible and easyto fnd,and atttiough rt needs considerabie repaie
the majority af the irrterested parties beiieve the building shetl is ak,as it is a concrete
structure. A zoning change wouid eliminate any af the interest PSB has rec�ived to
date.
(Z) PSB haS p�id over$220,000 in Real Estate Taxes since taking ownership. The estirnated
2014 Market Vaiue of the propetty is$964,100. The propnsed tax bill for 2014 is

$36,783. The building is 10,708 sq.ft. This equates to real estate taxes of$3.44 per sq.
ft.;gross rents per sq.ft.generated by industrial use properti�s av�rage$5. Bot�Cpm line
is that the rent that can be generated by industria! or warehause is insufficient in
covering such a high tax amount.
If it is believed that the bu�lding isn't s�lvageable the rea! estate taxes are even mare
outrageaus for an incEus#riaf prospect. The site is z.31 acres. At 100,624 square feet khe
assessed market value is$9.58 per sq.ft. Industrial land sates range fram$3-5 per sq.ft.
with#he average being around $4.50. IA/he�t marketing the site to industrial prflspec#s
the major concer� was the high real �state taxes and that running an industrial business
wouldn't be feasible.
(3) It is questionable that the f�r�tprint of the Site isn't large enough to handie an industrial
zoning. This was mention�d by a few industrial prospects as they stated theyjust
needed more th�n 2.31 acres of space for warehouse, equipment,trvcks,etc.
p5B's goa! is to sell the property and the fastest way to obtain#his goa! is to continue the
current zoning for the time being. PSB is requesting more time(6-months}#o market the
property zoned as general business. The interested hair training schoo!/salon has speht �
considerabie time and money on construction plans for replacing the roof and completely
gutting and improving the inside of the building. They are not interested in appiying for a
special use permit.
I hope you wiil be our partner and work wi�h us on the fastest resolutfon Ya this problem

area will be a real benefit to the sites owner and the City as well. The City's goal is to enable this
site to develop into a new, successful,tax-paying entity.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Today, like Planning Commission Chair Harris in 1975, staff would question the merits of a
decision to rezone the property for a single use or user.Three decades of history has proven
this not to be a good decision. If the site had no development potential as a M-2 industrial site,
or a mix of M-2-type use to include some retail, staff would not pWrsue this zoning without the
support of the owner or a request from a developer. But, the site was originally M-2, heavy
industrial and as this site sets vacant, a great deal of staff time is being consumed by code
enforcement cases and extra police patrols. Worse yet when the site has been occupied over
the past 40 years it has demanded even more City (and specifically Police) resources. The City
and owner need to consider the highest and best use for this site, and staff does not believe the
City is going to realize that goal unless the property is rezoned to attract that use.
City Staff recommends approval of this rezoning.
■ Proposed rezoning will allow the owner to economically utilize the site in a way
that better suits its location.

crrroF CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 2, 2013
FRIDLEY
Date: November 25, 2013
To: Wally Wysopal,City Manager ����
From: Scott Hickok, Community Development Director
Julie Jones,Planning Manager
Kay Qualley,Environmental Planner
Subject: Organized Solid Waste Collection
Background
Between 2010 and 2013 the Environmental Quality and Energy Commission completed a lengthy study
of organized solid waste removal as it applied to Fridley. Over a two year period,the EQEC convened
groups of experts to review the benefits of organized collection versus the current open hauling system.
Sessions included city representatives from organized cities,the results of pricing variations and a city
survey(see attached meeting minutes for a summary). One session focused on hauler input. In
November of 2013,the EQEC accepted a staff report with a road damage assessment from Public Works
Director James Kosluchar(full report attached)and concluded their study with four recommendations to
Council. These recommendations(as required by City Code)were also presented to the Fridley Planning
Commission at their last meeting, who voted unanimously to forward it on to Council.
Council may determine whether to move to study the option to organize solid waste collection using the
format of the new statute. The Minnesota legislature modified Statute 11 SA.94 Organized Collection this
year. This statute(attached)defines organized collection and stipulates the procedures under which an
investigation of organized refuse collection shall move forward.
Commission Recommendation
The Nov. 2013 Environmental Quality and Energy Commission's recommendations to the City Council
include:
1) That the Fridley City Council ezplore the option of organizing City garbage collection(per
MN Statute 115A.94);
2) That the City Council encourage a process that allows the ea�isting five licensed residential
haulers to divide their existing Fridley market share into zones(per MN Statute 115A.94)
3) That if an organized garbage system is developed in the City,it should include single-family
homes through 12-unit apartment buildings (like our current recycling contract); and
109
4) That the EQEC would be willing to conduct further studies if the Council felt it met the
statutory requirements for considering organized garbage collection.
If the City Council chooses to proceed with further study of organized garbage collection under the
format decreed in MN Statute 115A.94, staff will begin a statute-required 60-day negotiation period with
the five haulers currently licensed for residential garbage service in Fridley. The cunent licensed
residential haulers include: LePage& Sons,Allied/Republic Services,Waste Connections dba Ace Solid
Waste, Walters, and Waste Management. Two additional multi-unit waste haulers have been invited to
take part in any future study and discussions about organized collection since they service some
apartments in Fridley;Aspen Waste and Randy's Sanitation. All seven organizations have been notified
about the EQEC recommendation to Council and are therefore aware of the date,time and location of the
Dec. 2, 2013 Fridley City Council public rneeting. Public notice was also published despite the fact this
item is not a public hearing. The goal of the 60-day negotiation period is to determine if the existing
haulers are willing to divide the market share and contract cooperatively with the City. It is not until this
step in the process is complete before the City Council needs to hold a public hearing to debate whether
or not the City wants to organize collection.
Staff Recommendation
Staff concurs with the Environmental Quality Commission to explore the option to study organized
collection further.Because the process laid forth in State Statutes is a bit confusing with the recent
changes made by the Legislature, staff has created a flow chart(attached)to help guide Council through
the legal requirements of the Statute. It is important to note that the study that the EQE Commission just
completed does not meet the requirements of the study committee referred to in the Statutes.This process .
will need to be reinitiated if Council proceeds as there are new requirements as to the makeup of that
Committee.
Should the City Council choose to proceed with considering the option to organize refuse collection,the
next step in the process is to initiate a 60-day process with the existing haulers to see if there is support
for a cooperative agreement before taking the issue on further for public discussion.During this 60-day
process of negotiations between the City staff and the haulers,a proposal is to be developed that includes:
• Identified City priorities
• Issues related to zone creation
• Traffic
• Safety
• Environmental performance
• Service provided �
• Price
• Division of accounts based upon hauler's average customer count during the six months prior to
the commencement of the 60-day negotiation period
If the City Council chooses to initiate the 60-day negotia�ion process,the City attorney advises staff to
notify the haulers in writing on December 3, 2013. Staff recommends that the City Council establish a
deadline of February 10,2014 as the date the negotiation results would be due back to the City Council.

SUBJECT: Roadway Impacts from Refuse Collection Vehicles
The City of Fridley has been awaiting the final production of a model to assess, in detail,
the impacts of heavy vehicles to local roadways. The development of this too! has been
ongoing since 2011 through a Local Road Research Board project on the impact of refuse
haulers on pavement performance by Dr. W. James Wilde of the Minnesota State
University, Mankato. A final draft of the tool has just recently become available. I have
since been working with engineering staff to input the very large amount of data needed to
provide the detailed results of impacts identified by the tool. Unfortunately, this effort
eontinues to be ongoing as of today, and the analysis of our community using the new tool
is not completed at this time.
Pending the final results from what will be a lengthy analysis, I believe it is prudent to
provide the Environmental Quality and Energy Commission with an estimate of roadway
impacts from refuse haulers based on other techniques. Therefore,we have pertormed an
incrementa! impact analysis based fln the presumption of moving from a refuse collection
system of frve haulers to tMat of a single hauler.
This analysis provides a general estimate using information that is available,and should be
refined by the use of the heavy vehicle model produced by the LRRB. TMis will continue to
be worked on by staff, and reported when completed.
For addi#ional information,please see the attached summary report published by Dr.Wilde
on Assessing the Effects of Heavy Vehicles on Local Roadways.

The impacts of refuse hauiing vehicies on roadways have been a matter of much
discussion in recent years. The complexity of this issue is due to the many assumptions
and complexity of madels and calculafions required to de#ermine actual impacts to
roadways, inciuding pavement struature and deterioration models, traffic forecasting, and
route projections.
The goal of this report is to provide an orde�of magnitude in regard to the potentia!impacts
and costs, using an available madel and a number of assumptions relating to the City of
Fridley's roadways.
The analysis uses the fV1nPAVE version 6.210 beta, which is a pavement design toal •
developed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation. This latest version afi MnPAVE
has a "Research Mode"that allows inputs of vehicle counts and truck data. The MnPAVE
design tool is a computer prog�am that combines known empirical rela#ianships with a
representation of the physics and mechanics behind flexible pavement behavior.
An analysis was pertormed using this software with the foAowing assumptions:
1. Existing t�uck trafFc is 4% on local roadways. This is likely a high estimate;
however, we do no# have accurate information on t�uck count� on aU local �oad
segments. The high value used for analysis will p�aduce conservative results in this
analysis of hauler impacts.
2. All streets are built to local residentiai standards. Some existing streets have a
lesser pavement and base thickness. By asswming the sta�dard pavement and
base sections are met,this assumption provides conservative results in this anaiysis
of hauler impacts.
3. Five refuse trucks (tanderrj axle)travel�n local road segments per week currently.
4. ln the reduced traffic scenario, one refiuse truck travels on local roads, covering all
curren#routes.
5. The range of weight for refuse trucks is assumed to be the same as for the existing
case, as the trucks begin their route empty, and end their route #ull.
6. Refuse trucks are assumed to be 3-axle tandems (MnPAVE type 3).
7. Existing traffic on loca! roads is assumed to have the following ranges of Annual
Average Daily Traffic(AADT):
Local Road AAOT Scenario 1 Scenario 2
0—500 25°k 35°�6
500—1000 25% 40%
1000+ 50°k 25%
8. Traffic and t�uck traffic are assumed to have a zero growth rate.
9. Projections of terminal service life ofi pavement are as indicated by the MnPAVE
software, and streets are not resurfaced until this projected terminal serviee life is
attained.
Estimated terminal service life of existing standard pavement sections we�e performed
using the MnPAVE softvvare for AADTs of 500, 750, and 1000, respectively. The same
analysis was run again with a reduetion in four weekly trips fo��efuse hauling vehicles on a
given street segment. Below are a summary of the results of this analysis.
113
20-year Terminal Service
_Scenario Traff� ESAI Life(vears)
500A Existing standard distribution,4%heavy vehicles 318,410 36
500B Reduced truck traffic by 4 refuse truck trips weekly 304,593 43
750A Existing standard distribution,4°�heavy vehicies 477,617 24
7506 Reduced truck tra'ffic by 4 refuse truck trips weekly 464,202 25
1000A Existing standard distribution,4%heavy vehicles 636,81p t8
10006 Reduced truck traffic by 4 refuse truck trips weekly 622,183 18
No#e that the 24-year ESAL is a count of the laad equivalency factor for an Equivalent
Single Ax1e Load(estimated to have the impact of an 18,000 Ib single axle load)over a 20-
year pe�iod. The MnPAVE software create�a load spectrum for all types of vehicles and
converts these tA ESALs v�rhich are then used to calculate theor�tical pavement
deterioration.
What is seen in the estimate is tF�at as traffic increases on a {ocal roadway, there is a
diminishing impact in reducing trips of the same number of heavy vehicles. This is as
would be expected, as othe�tra€fic impacting the roadway creates a larger propo�tion of
deterioration, making the same number of heavy vehicles less substantial.
Any reduction in terminai service life is applied for each of the AADT projected for local
roads from assumed traffic,and applied against the annual average co5t of annual asphalt
roadway repairs for the City of Fridley over the past 10 years ($1.377 million).
Based on this set of calculations and modeling,the result would be an estimated cost range
of between $81,000 and $117,000 annually. The numbers in this range average roughly
1% o#the City's General Levy.
Note that there are refinements that could be made to more accurately project#raffic, and
provide more detailed ar�alysis of existing street segments.
While the assumptions with this estimate are generally conse►vative, they are balanced
somewhat by the timing of resurfacing,which may not always await the achievement of the
termina! seroice life of the roadway due to other factors or deterioration. In addition, it is
important to note that local conditions, quality of construction, drainage, and other factors
that may lead to premature deterioration of roadways would reduce any realized savings.
Therefare, even ifi the prior assumptions and resulting impacts are assumed to be accurate,
savings would be reduced from fhe estimates provided here'rn.

1 MINNESOTA STATUTES 2013 115A.94
115A.94 ORGA1vIZED COLLECTION.
Subdivision 1. Definition. "Organized collection"means a system for collecting solid waste
in which a specified collector, or a member of an organization of collectors, is authorized to
collect from a defined geographic service area or areas some or all of the solid waste that is
released by generators for collection.
Subd. 2. Local authority. A city or town may organize collection, after public notification
and hearing as required in subdivisions 4a to 4d. A county may organize collection as provided
in subdivision 5. A city or town that has organized collection as of May 1, 2013, is exempt
from subdivisions 4a to 4d.
Subd. 3. General provisions. (a)The local government unit may organize collection as a
municipal service or by ordinance, franchise, license, negotiated or bidded contract, or other
means, using one or more collectors or an organization of collectors.
(b) The local government unit may not establish or administer organized collection in a
manner that impairs the preservation and development of recycling and markets for recyclable
materials. The local government unit shall exempt recyclable materials from organized collection
upon a showing by the generator or collector that the materials are or will be separated from
mixed municipal solid waste by the generator, separately collected, and delivered for reuse in
their original form or for use in a manufacturing process.
(c) The local government unit shall invite and employ the assistance of interested persons,
including persons licensed to operate solid waste collection services in the local government unit,
in developing plans and proposals for organized collection and in establishing the organized
collection system.
(d) Organized collection accomplished by contract or as a municipal service may include
a requirement that all or any portion of the solid waste, except(1)recyclable materials and (2)
materials that are processed at a resource recovery facility at the capacity in operation at the
time that the requirement is imposed, be delivered to a waste facility identified by the local
government unit. In a district or county where a resource recovery facility has been designated
by ordinance under section 115A.86, organized collection must conform to the requirements of
the designation ordinance.
Subd. 4. [Repealed, 2013 c 45 s 7]
Subd. 4a. Committee establishment. (a) Before implementing an ordinance, franchise,
license, contract, or other means of organizing collection, a city or town, by resolution of the
governing body, must establish an organized collection options committee to identify, examine,
and evaluate various methods of organized collection. The governing body shall appoint the
committee members.
(b)The organized collection options committee is subject to chapter 13D.
Subd. 4b. Committee duties. The committee established under subdivision 4a shall:
(1) determine which methods of organized collection to examine, which must include:
(i) a system in which a single collector collects solid waste from all sections of a city or
town; and
(ii) a system in which multiple collectors, either singly or as members of an organization of
collectors, collect solid waste from different sections of a city or town;

115
2 MINNESOTA STATUTES 2013 115A.94
(2) establish a list of criteria on which the organized collection methods selected for
examination will be evaluated,which may include:costs to residential subscribers,miles driven by
collection vehicles on city streets and alleys, initial and operating costs to the city of implementing
the organized collection system, providing incentives for waste reduction, impacts on solid waste
collectors, and other physical, economic, fiscal, social, environmental, and aesthetic impacts;
(3) collect information regarding the operation and efficacy of existing methods of organized
collection in other cities and towns;
(4) seek input from, at a minimum:
(i) the governing body of the city or town;
(ii)the local official of the city or town responsible for solid waste issues;
(iii)persons currently licensed to operate solid waste collection and recycling services in
the city or town; and
(iv) residents of the city or town who currently pay for residential solid waste collection
services; and
(5) issue a report on the committee's research, findings, and any recommendations to the
governing body of the city or town.
Subd. 4c. Governing body; implementation. The governing body of the city or town
shall consider the report and recommendations of the organized collection options committee.
The governing body must provide public notice and hold at least one public hearing before
deciding whether to implement organized collection. Organized collection may begin no sooner
than six months after the effective date of the decision of the governing body of the city or town
to implement organized collection.
Subd. 4d. Participating collectors proposal requirement. Prior to establishing a committee
under subdivision 4a to consider organizing residential solid waste collection, a city or town
with more than one licensed collector must notify the public and all licensed collectors in the
community. The city or town must provide a 60-day period in which meetings and negotiations
shall occur exclusively between licensed collectors and the city or town to develop a proposal
in which interested licensed collectors, as members of an organization of collectors, collect
solid waste from designated sections of the city or town. The proposal shall include identified
city or town priorities, including issues related to zone creation, trafl5c, safety, environmental
performance, service provided, and price, and shall reflect existing haulers maintaining their
respective market share of business as determined by each hauler's average customer count during
the six months prior to the commencement of the 60-day negotiation period. If an existing hauler
opts to be excluded from the proposal, the city may allocate their customers proportionally based
on market share to the participating collectors who choose to negotiate. The initial organized
collection agreement executed under this subdivision must be for a period of three to seven years.
Upon execution of an agreement between the participating licensed collectors and city or town,
the city or town shall establish organized collection through appropriate local controls and is not
required to fulfill the requirements of subdivisions 4a, 4b, and 4c, except that the governing body
must provide the public notification and hearing required under subdivision 4c.
Subd. 5. County organized collection. (a)A county may by ordinance reyuire cities and
towns within the county to organize collection. Organized collection ordinances of counties may:

116
3 MINNESOTA STAT'UTES 2013 115A.94
(1) require cities and towns to require the separation and separate collection of recyclable
materials;
(2) specify the material to be separated; and
(3) require cities and towns to meet any performance standards for source separation that
are contained in the county solid waste plan.
(b)A county may itself organize collection under subdivisions 4a to 4d in any city or town
that does not comply with a county organized collection ordinance adopted under this subdivision,
and the county may implement, as part of its organized collection, the source separation program
and performance standards required by its organized collection ordinance.
Subd. 6. Organized collection not required or prevented. (a)The authority granted in this
section to organize solid waste collection is optional and is in addition to authority to govern
solid waste collection granted by other law.
(b) Except as provided in subdivision 5, a city,town, or county is not:
(1) required to organize collection; or
(2) prevented from organizing collection of solid waste or recyclable material.
(c) Except as provided in subdivision 5, a city,town, or county may exercise any authority
granted by any other law, including a home rule charter,to govern collection of solid waste.
Subd. 7. Anticompetitive conduct. (a) A political subdivision that organizes collection
under this section is authorized to engage in anticompetitive conduct to the extent necessary to
plan and implement its chosen organized collection system and is immune from liability under
state laws relating to antitrust, restraint of trade, unfair trade practices, and other regulation of
trade or commerce.
(b) An organization of solid waste collectors, an individual collector, and their officers,
members, employees, and agents who cooperate with a political subdivision that organizes
collection under this section are authorized to engage in anticompetitive conduct to the extent
necessary to plan and implement the organized collection system, provided that the political
subdivision actively supervises the participation of each entity. An organization, entity, or person
covered by this paragraph is immune from liability under state law relating to antitrust, restraint
of trade, unfair trade practices, and other regulation of trade or commerce.

Approval of Environmental Quality and Energy Commission Minutes: July 07, 2013 and
Sept. 10, 2013. There was no discussion and no corrections to the minutes as written.
MOTION by Commissioner Boyles and seconded by Commissioner Elford to approve the
July 07, 2013 and Sept. 10, 2013 minutes as submitted. Motion passed unanimously.
New Business
Kay Qualley reported on a GreenStep Cities workshop sponsored by Metro Cities that
covered energy benchmarking and retrofitting municipal and commercial buildings through
budget neutral programs. The question was raised about what was allowed in Fridley Code
for Solar applications. Planning Manager Jones said that the residential zoning code
language does allow solar equipment, but she was unsure if it was worded to a11ow the solar
garden concept. Ms. Qualley gave details from the presentation: Shoreview is using the B3
program for municipal building benchmarking of energy use. It is valuable because it helps
cities weigh their use against comparable buildings in other cities. Shoreview's finance
118
department enters energy invoices and readings by buildings and said it is a ten minute
process to yield valuable information. The GESP project(Guazanteed Energy Savings
Project was discussed. The GESP elements include an Opportunity Assessment, a period of
time to Define Project Goals, ESCO Selection,Project Development, Project Implementation
and a Performance Period of 5-25 years. Basically, funding is available for municipalities
who want to go beyond the low hanging fruit of a lighting switch out into systems
replacements. The loan is paid back by the city taking the di�£exence between the new lower
energy cost and their old bill and paying that amount for lt�a�rreplacement. Because the
municipal buildings are currently being thoroughly e�alu�te;�l�f�om all aspects, including
energy, this program may or may not be applicab�at present. "�
CityLabs has been presented as another progxatn available to cities, similar to the University
of Minnesota's Resilient Communities. CityLab�i� a collabm�ative, multi-di�c�plinary
academic initiative that integrates edt�cation, civic engag�xrient and community outreach
specifically around the issues of sust�inabili#y,livability and;placemaking. Staff suggested
that further investigation might be in or�r for tihis,'program, especially if the concept of city
resiliency is being pursucd.

Old Business
Regarding the recent coal tar sealant ban enacted recently by the Legislature,the City needs
to pass an ordinance to enforce the ban on sales and application in the City. Staff stated that
the Minnesota League of Cities has proposed ordinance language prepared. Commission
members questioned how such an ordinance would be enforced by the City. James Kosluchar
119
commented that Public Works crews regularly stop and question homeowners and
contractors when they see someone sealing a driveway and ask what product they are using.
The EQE Commissioners asked staff to prepare a Fridley-specific version of the ordinance
and bring it to the January EQE meeting.
The next order of old business was review, discussion and recommendations regarding
organized garbage collection. Presentations and organized garbage information from the
various study sessions coordinated by retired City Manager B�ns were reviewed and
discussed. The MPCA summary showed lower costs tc>r�s�c�ents in organized hauling and
other economic benefits including reducing the impa�t�n road��nd alleys. Organized cities
typically have 1 truck in a particular zone compar�d to 3+trucks per neighborhood in our
existing open system. It also said reduced fuel consumption and emissions were a result of
fewer vehicle miles traveled. Commissioner Boyle� discus�ec�the myths of oxganized hauling
as presented in the MPCA's Februa�y 2012 Organized Collection summary: organized
collection means that there will only�e or��auler in the cvmmunity; small haulers will
never win the contract; organized collec�ion creates a monopoly. Each of these points was
refuted by the MPCA i��hi'�document.

system. �Ie explained tha�,variabl`�s such as drainage, subsoil and quality of road
construction r�ight impact this.estimate which would keep that saving from being fully
realized. Plannirig�Vlanager Jo��s pointed out that the analysis could be re-run to reflect that
yard waste trucks collect for�i,�t months of the year so that there are really 10 garbage
trucks on a given Fridley street most of the year—not the five used in the analysis.
As the discussion ensued, despite interruptions and shouting from observers, Commissioner
Boyles stated that the EQEC should encourage the Council to investigate organized
collection of solid waste because there were enough points in favor of it. He stated that the
new Minnesota Statute 115A.94 should be followed. Staff inember Qualley placed the
statute in its entirety on the screen for review because the packets did not contain the full
120
statute. Qualley stated that the full statute would be added to the amended staff report to
Council. Commissioner Olin said that the commission should ask the Council to investigate
and since the EQEC had been investigating it, meeting with the MPCA, MN EPA, haulers
and others since 2010, it was time to send it on. Chairman Velin stated that he wanted to
send it on(approve it)to the City Council.
MOTION#1 for Council Consideration by Commissioner Boyles and seconded by
Commissioner Westby to send to the Fridley City Council a xe�mmendation regarding
Organized Collection of Solid Waste,that the Council should take the next steps to
investigate and move forward with the organized solit�waste cail�ction process as proscribed
in 2013 Minnesota Statute 115A.94. Five of the s�commissioners�resent approved the
motion. Commissioner Elford voted nay. Mc�ic�n carried.
