CITY COUNCIL MEETING
CITY OF FRIDLEY
FEBRUARY 23,2015
The City Council meeting for the City of Fridley was called to order by Mayor Lund at 7:02 p.m.
ROLL CALL:
MEMBERS PRESENT: Mayor Lund
Councilmember Barnette
Councilmember Saeflce
Councilmember Varichak
MEMBER ABSENT: Councilmember Bolkcom
OTHERS PRESENT: Wally Wysopal, City Manager
Darcy Erickson, City Attorney
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director
Sergeant Jim Mork, Fridley Police Department
Chris Lord, Anoka Conservation District
PRESENTATION:
Outstanding Conservationist Certificate from Anoka Conservation District
Chris Lord, Anoka Conservation District, stated he is the District Manager for the Anoka
Conservation District. They really rely on conservation partners and cooperators throughout the
County to help them do their work. They do not have levy authority, so they need people who
are willing to help generate matching funds to get grants. They aze kind of the coordinator
behind that.
Mr. Lord stated partners like the City of Fridley emerge kind of rarely and stand out. Their
relationship with Fridley goes back probably before he started. When he started, he was out in
the field with John Flora, the City Engineer then. They were doing riverbank stabilization
projects along Rice Creek and helping landowners deal with big erosion issues. They worked
with Julie Jones on the Springbrook Nature Center project and the MPCA grant. They have
worked with Kay Qualley, James Kosluchar, and Layne Otteson. The staffing of people at the
City of Fridley interested in helping the public manage the river corridors is really outstanding.
They wanted to recognize the City as outstanding conservationists for 2014. Technically, it
embodies a year, but to the Anoka Conservation District, it embodies decades of a partnership
with the City.
Mr. Lord stated they just wrapped up the Oak Glen Creek corridor stabilization project which
goes between East River Road and the Mississippi River, along the backyards of 21 properties.
Jim Kosluchar and Mayor Lund were calling landowners and helping, along with
1
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEE__T_ING OF FEBRUARY 23.2015 PAGE 2
Councilmember Bolkcom. That was really a project that started 40 years ago, then dwindled,
and came back to life.
Mr. Lord stated they wanted to thank the City. They talk about the Springbrook Nature Center
quite a bit because it is amazing to have that kind of a resource supported by a city of this size.
Typically it is done by county government. They worked with Siah St. Clair for decades and
reached so many kids during that time.
Mayor Lund stated this must be the year for Fridley as it also had some very nice publicity a
couple of weeks ago in the Star Tribune for which he has heard very many good comments from
people. This also is a reminder of some of the successes that have been occurring in Fridley. It
was a very nice project to do the creek down there on East River Road to the Mississippi River.
Mayor Lund stated if they think Springbrook Nature Center is a worthwhile park now,just give
them a few months. They will see some very recognizable significant improvements and
changes taking place there. He said he was very proud to have something like that in their midst.
Some of the ideas for the project are geothermal heating and solar and other things that are green
technology so perhaps it could be something for others to follow. They like to think they are on
the cusp of the next generation of technology.
Mr. Wysopal stated he wanted to recognize James Kosluchar and Kay Qualley, who have done
a great job in working with the various groups. They certainly deserve this award.
SERVICE REPORT—CITIZENS' ACADEMY:
Sergeant Jim Mork, Fridley Police Department, stated he was very excited to tell them about
the Citizen's Academy program. After having been on hiatus for a few years, it is coming back
this fall. Oftentimes people wonder why they have the program. The Police Department's
offices are locked, they have bulletproof glass. Sometimes it is tough for the public to interact.
The Citizens' Academy program is going to give them an opportunity to have a lot of
discussions; and to educate members of the public regarding the interworkings of the Police
Departrnent and how the officers are going about their job and what they are doing to serve the
community.
Sergeant Mork stated one of the key phrases in the Police Department's mission statement is,
"partnering with the community." They want to be able to have the citizens obtain a greater
insight into police practices, their services, and also the personnel who are on the Police
Department. Also, the officers are going to be able to develop relationships with members of the
community; and they are going to better provide services to their particular needs.
Sergeant Mork stated the Academy is going to meet every Wednesday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.,
from September 2 through October 21 in the meeting rooms downstairs. Participants are
probably going to meet more than half of the members of their Police Department. It is going to
be an opportunity to encourage people who are in the program to ask any questions they want to
ask, so nothing is off limits.
2
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF FEBRUARY 23.2015 PAGE 3
Sergeant Mork stated some of the topics they are going to cover include constitutional law,
police history, and fire safety. They plan on bringing in one of their K9 handlers and his K9
partner. They will get a chance to interact with and see how those dogs are trained, how the dogs
provide a tremendous service for the City; and how they save the City countless hours on
building searches, apprehensions, and other searches—including lost people. They plan on
having one of the local towing companies donate a used caz to the program and will break it
apart to show how some of their tools are used.
Sergeant Mork stated the program is very interactive and hands on. They will look at videos,
have guest speakers, and have demonstrations. People will have a chance to feel the equipment,
touch the equipment, drive a squad car, and shoot in shoot/don't shoot scenarios. They will even
get the participants out to the gun range. It is really an opportunity for people to see what it is
like to walk a mile in their shoes. One of the things they will make sure is that no one is pushed
into doing something they are not comfortable doing. If they would rather watch and not
participant in something that is fine.
Sergeant Mork stated they are looking for people who are 18 years of age or older and who live,
work, or play in Fridley. People will have to submit to a criminal background check. There is
- no cost to participate. To apply people can pick up applications in the lobby, contact the Police
Department, or look it up on the City's website. Space is limited to 24 participants, and it does
fill up quickly.

Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated this is a rezoning to take the property
from C-2, General Business, back to M-2, Heavy Industrial. Staff initiated this sometime ago,
and the bank that owns the property asked for some time to market it as a commercial site. They
were successful in marketing it as a commercial site and a funeral home is purchasing the
4

property from them. The closing was supposed to happen today, and this was on the agenda so
staff could then withdraw the rezoning request officially. Staff has not heard anything. The
funeral home and the bank both confirmed the closing would happen today. Staff wants to make
certain the closing happened. He asked Council to continue the public hearing to the first
meeting in March. Staff does feel that confirmation is very important, as they do not want to
start over with the rezoning request, if the closing did not happen.
MOTION by Councilmember Varichak to continue the public hearing until March 9, 2015.

1. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Special Use Perarit, SP # 14-07, by TCO Design, the petitioner has
modified the original special use permit request, for a comprehensive home health care use
that will utilize both the 5300 and 5310 4th Street Properties. The addition of this land area
will provide more opportunities for parking without increasing the size of the building
generally located at 5300 and 5310 4th Street NE.
MOTION by Commissioner Saba to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Sielaff.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND TAE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:05
P.M.
Stacy Stromberg,Planner, stated the petitioner,Todd Ofsthun,with TCO Design,on behalf of A.P.
Ventures is seeking a special use permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building.
The petitioner originally was before the Planning Commission on November l9,2014,to allow this use
on the property at 5310 4`h Street. Because of neighborhood and Planning Commissioners concerns
specifically related to parking,the petitioner waived Minn. Stat. Sec. 15.99,which requires the City to get
the land use item through the process in 60 days,to do further analysis.
Ms. Stromberg stated since the November Planning Commission meeting,the petitioner and
representatives for the project have negotiated a purchase agreement with the owner of the property
directly south at 5300 4�' Street. The additional land area will allow for more on-site parking.

Ms. Stromberg stated the neighbors also expressed concerns about the operation of the facility and types
of staffing needed for the patients. The operator of the facility is present tonight to further answer those
questions.
Ms. Stromberg stated the properties are zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and convalescent home type uses are
allowed in this zoning district with a special use permit.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed facility will have a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License
through the Minnesota Department of Health.
Ms. Stromberg stated the owners of this project have affiliations with Allina,Fairview,and the
University of Minnesota to offer the use of the proposed facility to potential patients. The patients using
the facility will be recovering from surgery,transplant(pre-op and post-op)or another type of inedical
procedure that leaves them needing extensive rehab and medical services. This type of use is needed for
patients,who for medical reasons,cannot be on their own and do not have family or friends who can care
for them.
Ms. Stromberg stated the new site plan incorporates(2)parcels of land—5310 and 5300 4"' Street. The
actual square footage of the building has been reduced in size from 2,920 square feet to 2,486 square feet.
The reason for this change is the(2)indoor garage stalls have been removed from the plan. The existing
garage on the 5300 4�'Street property will remain in place,which will provide parking as well as room
for garbage and recycling containers.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed building will still be 3-stories,with a maximum height of
approximately 35 feet. Each level will have(5) separate bedrooms for patients and a common area,with
a great room, kitchen, bathroom, storage,and laundry. The building will have an elevator and will be
have a fire suppression system. The new site plan allows for 12 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls,
for a total of 14 parking stalls. The previous plan had a total of 8 parking stalls. The petitioner has also
submitted a landscape plan showing new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and will be reyuired to
construct storm water treatment on site to ensure that drainage is maintained on site.
Ms. Stromberg stated the existing house on the lot at 5300 4`�Street is currently being rented. Staff
understands from the petitioner that the lease is up on the house in May. At that time,the residents could
sign a month to month lease,until the new building is completed. Upon completion of the new building,
the existing house will be required to be removed from the property within one year of building permit
issuance. The lot will then need to meet landscaping requirements and be properly maintained.
Ms. Stromberg stated the subject property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family and has been since the City's first
zoning map. The majority of this neighborhood(east of University Avenue,north of 53`d Avenue,and
west of 7�' Street)is zoned R-3,Multi-Family,with some parcels in the middle of the neighborhood zoned
R-2,Two-Family and parcels on the east edge zoned R-1, Single Family. Within this neighborhood is a
mix of single family homes, duplexes,4aplexes and larger unit buildings. The Bona Brothers property on
the corner of University Avenue and 53r Avenue was rezoned from R-3,Multi-Family 10�2,Ceneral __
Business in 1971 and 1999 to allow that use to exist.
Ms.Stromberg stated hospitals,clinics,and convalescent/nursing homes are a permitted special use in
the R-3; Multi-Family zoning district provided that the proposed project complies with the requirements
for the special use permit, subject to the stipulations. The proposed use as a comprehensive home care
7
Plarming Commission Meeting
February 18, 2015
Page 3 of 22
use is most comparable to a convalescent home or rehab facility use and therefore staff has determined
that a special use permit would be required for the proposed use to exist on this site.
Ms. Stromberg stated based on the slope of the lot,the building will look like a 3-story building from the
alley and more like a 2 '/z-story building from 4'h Street. Each floor will have 5 separate bedrooms, so the
building has the ability to house a total of 15 patients. Due to the medical conditions the patients have,
they are unable to drive. As a result,parking needs for this use will be for the staff and visitors to the site.
The petitioner has articulated that the maximum number of staff on site at any one time will be 6. Any
staff ineetings for employees will either occur off-site or through electronic media. The new site plan
shows 12 surface pazking stalls and 2 garage stalls within the detached garage on the 5300 4`}' Street
property. The garage and the(2)stalls in front of the garage will be accessed off 53`d Avenue. Ten
parking stalls will be accessed from the alley. The new design of the parking area will allow a one-way
loop through the parking area,so vehicles won't have to back into the alley to leave the property and it
also provides better circulation for staff,visitors,delivery vehicles and emergency vehicles. The building
will only be accessed from 4�' Street through the use of a sidewalk.
Ms. Stromberg stated based on Code requirements for a nursing home,which is the most similar use to
the comprehensive home care use, 8 pazking stalls are required. The previous site plan did comply with
code requirements. The neighbors,the Planning Commissioners and staff did have some concerns as to
whether this would be enough based on 6 employees potentially being on-site at any one time,plus
visitors, and any other specialized staff needed for the patients. As a result,the plan has been updated to
provide a total of 12 parking stalls, plus 2 garage stalls. When approving a request like this,staff wants to
make sure there is adequate parking provided on-site and that the use is not dependent upon on-street
parking. The 12 parking stalls will be adequate for staff and visitors,however since the street isn't signed
"no parking", it is likely that from time to time visitors will park on the street. This is acceptable,
provided it doesn't start becoming a problem. Staff will keep the stipulation previously placed on the
special use permit that states if on-street parking becomes an issue for this site,the special use permit will
need to go back before the City Council for further review.
Ms.Stromberg stated the special use permit will also need to go back before the Council for review if in
the future the use of the building is changed. The building as designed couldn't work if people residing in
it didn't have health conditions that didn't allow them to drive.
Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. The
petitioner has submitted a landscape plan and a grading and drainage plan. Both of those plans will be
further reviewed by City staff prior to issuance of a building permit.
Ms. Stromberg stated City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospitals,
clinics and convalescent and nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3,Multi-Family zoning
district.
Ms. Stromberg stated Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted,the following
stipulations be attached:
(1) The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
(2) The petitioner shall meet all building, fire,and ADA requirements.
(3) City engineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage, and utility pian prior to
issuance of a building permit.

that they would get at a facility this size.
Mr. Hickok stated, also, the petitioner has taken an enormous step. They purchased the property next
door to provide a buffer. If they find their experience did not tell them the correct thing,and they need to
expand the parking, now they have the land area to do it. They are not boxed in. He would agree with �
the strategy, do not put in more parking if you do not need it. There is no need to have a lot of hard
surface that is not used. This is an opportunity for them basically to provide themselves an out if they
need it. Otherwise it provides a lot of nice green open space where there was a building in bad need of
maintenance.
Mr. Iiickok stated the City is getting a vastly improved product here and there is the buffer for parking.
The other thing, and he is hearing the concem in Commissioner Oquist's voice, but remember this is a
special use permit; and special use permits are there by virtue of ineeting mitigating stipulations. Over
the course of time, if the City finds there is an issue and if stipulations need to be modified or added,that
is the beauty of a special use and why it is not just a permitted use to begin with. If it becomes a problem,
it comes back and it is reviewed again. A special use permit can be revoked, but more likely in that
situation there would be a requirement for additional parking because demand has been demonstrated.
Mr. Iiickok stated it is not staffs expectation they would be parking on the street. First-time visitors
might because they do not realize there is a nice parking spot that is going to be well lit behind the
building. In the azchitectural elevations, they will notice the best entrance (a double entrance) off from
that back parking area is really probably the most inviting opportunity to enter the building.
Commissioner Oquist stated he agrees in the past the City probably required too much parking in some
instances, but he still has a concern on this one because once again you have to get through the alley.
Visitors are going to park out in the front.
Mr. Hickok replied staff has made it clear to the developers that sites are supposed to take care of their
own parking on site. He does not expect they are going to put in more parking than this to begin with
because experience tells them that is what they are going to need.
Chairperson Kondrick stated it is obvious, too, that the owner, realizing the City's complaints about
parking and the neighbors' concerns about parking, purchased that piece of property for parking purposes.
There will be landscaping,etc.
Homer Milton, 5330 4`� Street stated he lives two houses north of the project. Three concerns he has,
and he has talked to his neighbors are: this would put two health care centers within one-half block of his
home. There is one right now on the corner of 54th and Sth Street. They are talking about property
values being affected. Also, apparently Ms. Stromberg has not been in that alley which is very small and
very narrow because it is an old existing Fridley alley. His back yard faces that alley. Now with Bona
Brothers driving up and down there it is like a freeway because they use it to test vehicles that are worked
on. Now there is going to be more traffic in that alley.
Mr. Milton stated he also disagrees with the parking on the street because Bona Brothers parks on 4th
Street all the time because they get too many cars in their lot. He would not like a parking lot two houses
from him when he goes to sell his house. It is really hard to get onto 53rd during a busy time. He talked
to the neighbors about this,and they all feel the same way about it.

(4) Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to
issuance of building permit.
(5) If on-street parking becomes an issue as a result of this use,the special use permit and
options for additional parking shall be further reviewed by the City Council at the
owner's expense.
(6) If the comprehensive home health care use changes,the special use permit shall be
further reviewed by the City Council.
(7) The petitioner shall file the necessary documents with Anoka County to combine both of
the lots involved in this project, 5300 and 5310 4`}' Street,prior to issuance of a building
permit.
(8) The house at 5300 4`h Street shall be removed within one year of issuance of a building
permit for the new building.
Commissioner Oquist stated he has a couple of yuestions. They still have not added that much more
parking. He still has a real concern about parking. Also, what are they going to do with that lot when
they take that house down? That is an opportunity to get more parking spots. Plus they are going to find
if the only way to get to the parking stalls is through the alley, a lot of visitors are going to park out on the
street. He has some real concerns.
Ms. Stromberg stated the previous plan had 8 stalls. This is 14 stalls, and 8 stalls met Code requirements
so they have gone above and beyond the Code requires. She does agree visitors will likely park on the
street if they do not know there is a parking lot behind the building that they can park in. The City is
okay with having some on-street parking unless it is becoming an issue with cars up and down the street.
Commissioner Oquist asked,what about the length of time on the street? He can see employees parking
there for their shift, and they are going to be there for 6-8 hours.
Ms. Stromberg replied,the City would not want the employees parking on the street.
Commissioner Oquist asked,how do they restrict that?
Ms. Stromberg replied, that would be something the City would definitely have to inspect and keep an
eye on.
Commissioner Oquist stated it would have to be monitored very closely. What are they planning on
doing with the rest of that lot once they tear the house down?
Ms. Stromberg replied, she believed in their packet there is a landscape plan that is part of the drawings
the Commission has. T'he plan for now is to landscape the rest of the lot.
Commissioner Oquist stated it seems to him they could run some more parking stalls probably east and
west on that property next to that building.
Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, replied,the City has gotten a lot smarter about parking
over time. There was a time where in Planning the City would have more parking than was necessary.
They might recall staff has gone back and modified Codes to make certain there is not more hard surface
than the City actually needs. The folks here who are closest to this type of business will tell the City their
experience is they do not get a lot of guests. This would be adequate parking for the amount of guests

Dave Pallies, 5253 4th Street, stated he has some concerns here. First of all he really would like to know
what the building is going to be used for. They keep saying, a special use permit. A medical building.
Correct him if he is wrong but, if you look at the plans, where is the nurse's station? There is no nurse's
station. He has been asking other people, what type of building is this going to be? They said a medical
building. Some people said, well, it is going to be for people with transplants. Where are the nurses'
stations, where is the doctor's station for doctors who are going to come in and talk to these people or
whatever? They said,well, it is going to be on the phone. Are the nurses going to be on the phone? Are
the doctors going to be on the phone? Are the patients just going to be alone there? Are they going to
give themselves their own medication? Because when you have transplants, you do not give yourself
your own medication,your rejection pills,do you?
Chairperson Kondrick asked,do you?
Mr.Pallies replied,no.
Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr. Pallies,he really does not know, does he?
Mr. Pallies replied, Ms. Stromberg told him they are going to be coming out of the hospital, and that is
where they will be recovering until they go home. Where is the nurse's station at? Two nurses per floor.
Where is the nurse's station at. Where are the drugs going to be locked up because people who have
transplants have to have rejection drugs. They are going to have to have that medication locked up. What
is the building going to actually be? He has heard so many different stories. Is it going to be a nursing
home? He does not have any problem with the building being built. He just wants to know what the
building is going to be used for? Is it going to be for like drug and alcohol rehab? "They are not telling
the truth what the building is actually going to be for. Is it going to be for sex offenders? Nobody is
saying. Chairperson Kondrick is not even saying. Does he know?
Chairperson Kondrick replied,no. He does not.
Mr. Pallies stated then the building should not be built until we know exactly what the building is going
to be used for.
Chairperson Kondrick replied, if it agrees with the Codes, it would be according to Code. It will have
to comply with what is required by the Code.
Mr.Pallies stated he is saying it could be sex offender place.
Chairperson Kondrick stated if it is built and it is zoned and complies with the Code,then it is]egal and
requires adequate protection for people. For neighbors and the residents of the facility.
Mr. Pallies replied, he is against the building being built with what Chairperson Kondrick is saying. He
is against it.
Chairperson Kondrick asked,why is that?
Mr.Pallies replied, because it could be a sex offender building. For sex offenders. Because Chairperson
Kondrick does not know what it is going to be. What is going to be housed there?

Chairperson Kondrick replied, perhaps staff can answer that better than he can.
Ms. Stromberg stated what the City has been told is it will be a home health care use. Patients coming
out of the hospital having some kind of a need, like a nursing home where they need extra care and they
cannot go home. The operator of the facility is here tonight,and she would be able to aflswer many more
questions than staff can answer. What they understand is this is a home health care use. Nursing homes,
convalescent homes, clinics, and hospitals are a permitted special use in this district. The Code does not
address the other uses the gentleman was talking about.
Chairperson Kondrick stated now, they are okay so far until they hear from the petitioner. Is Mr.
Pallies okay at least with that?
Mr. Pallies replied, no, not really. Ms. Stromberg still did not explain it. She just said it was a special
use.
Chairperson Kondrick replied,just a moment, they will leam more as they go along this evening. Mr.
Pallies'concerns are well expressed,and they appreciate it.
Mr.Pallies stated he has others,too. The renters for that house. Ms. Stromberg said they are going to be
going by a month-to-month lease? They are done in June. Why not tear the house down and get rid of it?
Why keep renting that house out?
Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr.Pallies why would he imagine that would be the case?
Mr.Pallies asked,why would you leave the house?
Chairperson Kondrick replied,the owner does not want to sell it that quick.
Mr. Pallies stated, sell it? He has to sell that part of that property for them to build on that property.
They cannot buy it afterwards. Then there are other reasons that he is saying this because Ms. Stromberg
told him they were going to use two stalls inside that garage. It is a two-car garage for two cars that park
in there and two on the path,correct?
Chairperson Kondrick replied,yes.
Mr. Pallies stated Ms. Stromberg said they are going to put the dumpsters in there. That is going to
eliminate two cars in the garage and put two cars on the parking pad. They are going to rent the house
out month to month. Where are the renters going to park? Out on the street. The workers will be parking
in that driveway.
Commissioner Oquist stated the petitioner is going to get a license to operate this facility, and that
license is very restrictive as to what they can run in there.
Ms. Stromberg replied,correct.
Commissioner Oquist stated to Mr. Pallies, they will need a license to actually operate there. That is
through the State, and it is not going to be a halfway house or for sex offenders. It is a medical facility,
by the license. If they do anything other than what that license provides,they could get shut down.

Ms. Stromberg stated as to the question about the renters, they will need to be out before the new
building is occupied. They will not have any issues with renters needing to park there when the new use
is open. Why they are going to allow the tenants to sign a month-to-month lease after their lease expires
in May, she is not sure. The petitioner could answer that question.
Mr.Pallies stated but she did say,up to a yeaz, so it is going to take up to a year to build that building?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, good yuestion. They will find out. However, it does not really make a
lot of difference. The fact is they have to go through the motions first before things happen.
Mr. Hickok replied, the stipulation is that it will be a year from the date of the issuance of the building
permit. That does give adequate time to have the primary building itself.built. It allows a renter some
time to make some plans for their next move. It would be a bit of a surprise if you are renting a house and
now you are going to have a much shorter stay than you might have planned. It is going to take some
time to get this building built. It is not a simple building. It has a commercial elevator in it. It is three
stories. It has a lot of commercial aspects about it. It may take a better part of a year to build the
building. They are allowing themselves enough time. They are not boxing themselves in. Meanwhile
they are allowing a resident to continue to live there but understand at a certain point they are going to
need to be out and start making plans.
Mr. Hickok stated the City does, with the issuance of a building permit, allow one year for landscape to
be done, installed, completed, because there are seasonal issues. There are all sorts of other things that
you might get done at a time when it is not good to be putting down seed or sod, and you wait until that
cure core point to put it down. There is a strategy behind it. It was not just giving them a year to leave
this as a question mark. It is meant to be logical and strategic in terms of somebody who is living there
who needs to move and somebody who needs to landscape once the foundation and everything have been
taken out.
Mr.Pallies asked where are the renters going to park? Out on the street?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, nothing is going to happen until after they move out. The garage is still
there.
Mr.Pallies stated they will have the garage and the driveway. There won't be construction stuff there to
block them. He does not care if they park in the street. It does not bother him a bit.
Mr. Pallies stated he is still concerned about the medical use because there are no nurses' stations or
nothing like that.
Chairperson Kondrick replied, it is going to be according to Code and what the State feels is necessary.
They cannot operate unless it is according to what is necessary. They can let that be where it is.
Mr. Pallies replied, what concerns him is they are not saying, you know, is it going to be a nursing
home? Fine. It is a nursing home. Is it going to be for transplant patients? And his concern is on that, is
if it is transplant patients, how are they going to get in there? That alley is very skinny. If they are going
to be driving an ambulance,how are they going to get it in there?
Chairperson Kondrick replied,hopefully that will be addressed.

Planning Commission Meeting

Mr.Pallies asked,well, aze they not going to address that?
Chairperson Kondrick stated they can address that as they go along.
Randy Kuchera, 5301 4th Street, asked as to this building being built, what kind of affect will it have on
property taxes or property value and on top of that; parking meters. If people want to park on the street,
would they have to pay for it. Would that have any affects on those three topics?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, good question. He cannot imagine parking meters anywhere in Fridley.
Mr. Kuchera stated a friend of his lived on a street which was repaved, and he ended up paying for part
of that cost. When they usually do some kind of renovation to that neighborhood, does the neighborhood
have to pay?
Chairperson Kondrick replied, he did not think that affects him at all.
Mr. Hickuk stated as to parking on the street, meters would not be an alternative there. You could still
continue to have your guests park on the street. He pointed out on the aerial photo, to the north of the
yellow box there is a four-plex and a car parked on that street. Right now you can drive down it any day
and there is parking on that �treet. This site combined within those two lots within the yellow box with
the star on it, that would adequately accommodate eight units of residential with a building permit, up to
three bedrooms each unit. If there were eight units of three-bedroom apartments, 20 parking spaces
would be required. Just to put it in perspective, this could be an eight-unit, three-bedroom per unit
complex with 20 parking stalls required. There is enough land area to accommodate that. Guests to that
eight-unit building likely would park on the street. They may park just like they are at the four-plex north
of here. Are there things that can be done if this use becomes an issue. In this case there is a special use
permit that could be brought back, reviewed, and even revoked if they are not operating under proper
standards. This is an R-3 neighborhood. If there is an eight-unit building that has three bedrooms or even
if it had two bedrooms a piece that would still be 16 parking stalls,that could be built without any special
permit.
Mr. Hickok stated the petitioner is not overtaxing this site in terms of use because it is a convalescent
facility, the folks do not come on their own power. They do not park their cars in the parking lot. They
do come by virlue by transport vans. Ambulance is probably going to be less likely, although the
petitioners are here and can.speak to that. Remember this alley is being described as something as a cart
path. Garbage trucks use this alley also. The double doors on the back of this facility open to an elevator
core for the building that would allow folks to go to each of the three levels that are in there.
Mr. Hickok replied, as to taxes, he always thinks it a bit ironic when folks worry about the ta�t value
when they are taking down an $85,000 house that is badly in need of maintenance; and the house that
stood on the lot before was in terrible shape. T'hey are probably adding $2 to $2.5 million of investment
to the neighborhood and is something that is well-maintained and managed as a commercial entity there
but really has a residential character that fits. One should not worry about lowering their tax value in the
neighborhood. If they are worried about increased tax value, their property is really based on its own
merits. For example, a three-bedroom properly with two baths would be compared to three-bedroom
properties with two baths in that same general area. Would the affect of this across the street
automatically raise their values? The answer to that is "no". Would-the affect of the overall feel of the
14
Planning Commission Meeting
February 18, 2015
Page 10 of 22
neighborhood change because of the new investment in the neighborhood? Yes, it would. They would
benefit from the value of this new, properly maintained property that has landscaping that is
professionally maintained and is a building that has a lot of value to it. They should not worry about a
diminished value in taxes. What they are going to feel is a very positive influence of new investment in
their neighborhood.
Mr. Hickok stated as to improving streets, likely there needs to be a cut made for a utility connection,
unless a}1 utilities are outside of the existing roadway and they are able to connect out in the public right-
of-way where the private utility would connect to the public utility. However, that is cost borne entirely
by the development itself. Any fix to the roadway would have to be done in compliance with the right-of-
way ordinance. Any modification to the roadway has to be done to an engineering standard that basically
leaves the road in as good of a condition it was prior to the cut being made. Very good question by the
gentleman but not something they would need to be concerned about because that road will be repaired
and in a condition that basically leaves the fix invisible to the others.
Mr. Kuchera asked what about the noise for the construction itself and height of the building. Some
people have gardens in their front yard. By blocking the sun it could kind of screw up some nice plants.
Mr. Hickok replied, this construction is pretty standard. Typically they have found sandy soils, and it
would be a typical concrete foundation and not driven in on piers. Construction will happen during the
daytime. They have Code-mandated work hours. They cannot start before, and they cannot after.
Although a third-shift person would be sleeping when construction is happening on this site. There are no
extraordinary types of construction techniyues that will be used on this. It is a fairly straightforward and
very typical type of construction that happens.
Mr. Hickok replied, as far as the height of the building, R-3 would allow up to six stories; 35 feet is the
cut off for the R-1 district. You could have a single-family home that is 35 feet tall. This is in a district
that would allow up to six stories. This one really is comparable in height to a single-story house.
Mr.Kuchera asked,that would not block the sun coming across the skyline or anything like that?
Mr. Hickok replied, it would be the equivalent of a two and one-half story on this lot set back at a
standard setback dimension. Would it affect the sunset? On a treed lot such as this has been, he thinks
the effect will be negligible.
Mr. Pallies stated that alley is narrow and the problem is, come up there when the garbage trucks go
through. It is real interesting because,he lives in Columbia Heights side. The garbage truck goes through
their alley on the Columbia Heights side and goes straight across 53rd to get in there because it cannot
make the turn. They got semi's that come through their alley and go straight across 53rd into that alley
because they cannot make that turn. Go there some time when it is real busy.
Chairperson Kondrick replied,he drove through and he knows.
Mr.Pallies stated try and drive during rush hour. You will not turn in there. They will not let you.
Mr. Hickok stated, two things at a matter of reference, he has driven his motor home through that alley.
It is probably more about scheduling of pickups that a garbage truck driver would drive straight from the
Columbia Heights side into the Fridley side. He has made the turn in his motor home, and it is no small
15
Planning Commission Meeting

vehicle. This is a standard size alley. Rest assured when Bona's improved it, the City made sure that
snow plow trucks,etc. could get through it in order to service it.
Mr. Hickok stated in reference to Mr. Pallies saying that no one is being honest here, nothing would
frustrate them more than that. In the staff report and articulated in earlier presentations are the types of
recovering that happens in a facility like this. One disadvantage and it was unfortunate is that although
the builder/petitioner was here,they did not have somebody from the medical side to talk about what it is
at the last meeting. There has never been any attempt to keep facts that are known from the public.
Being painted that way is a frustrating way to ask a question and make statement.
Mr. Hickok stated they have a letter to be entered into the record that describes more about the specifics
of the facility, and he would encourage the petitioner's spokesperson to talk about the medical side to
answer some of the questions that seem to be of concern here.
Mr. Ofsthun stated they actually did increase the parking by six which is a significant number, almost
double from when they first started. As to the extra land,ultimately he thinks they want to have attached
parking. The building is positioned for a number of reasons, and that is one of them. If they need it for
parking, they have that buffer. That is a nice thing. He does not anticipate it. It would be a waste of
pavement to continue to go more than 12, not counting the 2 in the garage yet. The garbage cans could
take up more than one space. In the future also if they need a dumpster and they have to come back and
provide a dumpster for more adequate and efficient garbage for the building itself,they have that space as
well. That could be another potential use for that. Ultimately the existing garage would be nice to not be
there and have an attached facility. Again, they have the chance to redo the parking. If they have a
garbage dumpster they will have an approach for that. All that would be done on their site.
Mr. Ofsthun stated, yes, they will be using the alley but the ambulance, as ir�dicated, would have plenty
of space to get in the alley. Their parking lot is designed as a standard parking lot. Any ambulance has to
go through anywhere in the Ciry so all of the dimensions are per Code. The parking is more than Code.
He thinks they really are there. Meanwhile it is a nice landscaped area. That is another plus,too.
Mr. Ofsthun stated at the last meeting a big part of the problems were Bona's parking problems. He
hopes at this meeting their problems do not continue to be the petitioner's problem. If they are driving
their vehicles up and down the alley to test them,that should not be on the petitioner.
Mr. Ofsthun stated the employees will not be parking on the street. The back of the building has a much
better entrance and it has an elevator. To him if he knew there is a parking lot there, he is going to go
down that alley to park. As to visitors, since this is long-term care, they will find that pazking lot and
park in there. It is more convenient, it is lit,etc.
Mr. Ofsthun stated as to the building itself,there is some fine-tuning that needs to go on with the design.
The concerns of locking up the drugs,the nurses stations, etc., there is space near the kitchen. The great
room kitchen area will get a little more fine tuned as they go through this process. They do have space
where there will be small nursing stations on each level.
Mr. Ofsthun stated the use of the building is a high-tech medical facility using telemedicine connected
through the University of Minnesota and Fairview Hospitals. It will be staffed with nurses,the Minnesota
comprehensive home care license will dictate. In a full facility the minimum number of nurses will be
six, two per floor. That is dictated by them by the State. They have elevators and a sprinkler system.
16
Planning Commission Meeting

This building is set up very much as a high-tech medical facility. If they simply wanted sex offenders in
this building, they would just put up a three-unit building and would not be standing in front of them.
T'hey would just go get a permit and build it. They are investing a lot of money and time with this for that
purpose. It will be run by Wish Medical.
Mr. Ofsthun stated as far as the extension for the renters,that was more of a courtesy for them. Initially
they were not sure what they were going to do with that building either, and staff was quite clear that
building will not stay. They just wanted to make sure they were not kicking out the renters who have a
lease which is up either April or May. Potentially they will find their own place. It is a non-issue. It will
be torn down when it is convenient. When the big trucks are there will be the most convenient.
Mr. Ofsthun stated the manager of the construction project will make sure the renter has a spot, the
construction workers have a spot. They set up the site for toilet, dumpsters, drop of materials. That is
mostly on site but, unforiunately,there may be some construction workers parked on the street. That will
be tough not to da
Mr. Ofsthun stated it is going to be a huge improvement. It is going to look nice. It is going to be well
kept. It will be a buffer from two gas stations and an auto repair.
Commissioner Oquist stated as to part of his concern with the parkir►g situation, how many empioyees
will be on a different shift?
Mr.Ofsthun replied, six is the maximum.
Commissioner Oquist asked,what do they do when they have a shift change?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, obviously there is going to be some juggling going on. If they have a shift change
and then all of a sudden they are all gone,then they have an empty parking lot.
Commissioner Oquist stated or you have six people parking there and then six more people trying to
park there along with maybe some visitors.
Mr. Ofsthun replied, and they added 6 spots to help with that. At what point do they stop? They are
beyond City Code which he presumes was set up to take those things into consideration. They have gone
beyond with the same consideration of a shift change.
Commissioner Oquist asked if the people who are cunently leasing that house move out in May, what
happens? Does it just stay empty then?
Mr. Ofsthun replied, it would probably depend on the construction manager. They might be gone before
they start.
Commissioner Oquist stated that is the point he was making. If they should move out,for example,the
end of May,then it will remain empty.
Mr.Ofsthun replied,then it will probably be removed.
Commissiouer Oquist asked, but they would not try and re-lease it to someone on a month-to-month

basis?
Mr. Ofsthun replied,he has not even thought of it so he would say,no. That was not a consideration.

2. PUBLIC HEARING:
Consideration of a Rezoning, ZOA #15-01, by Alliant Engineering, Inc., on behalf of the
property owners of 5300 and 5400 Central Avenue is requesting to have the 2 properties
rezoned from C-3,General Shopping to C-2, General Business.
MOTION by Commissioner Oquist 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 PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 8:04
P.M.
Ms. Stromberg stated Alliant Engineering, Inc.,on behalf of the property owners of 5300 Central
Avenue(Super Stop)and 5400 Central Avenue(Embers)is requesting to rezone their properties from C-
3,General Shopping to C-2,General Business. The impetus for the rezoning request at this time is to
allow the potential redevelopment of the property at 5300 Central Avenue.
Ms. Stromberg stated the current zoning of C-3, General Shopping imposes several requirements that
makes redevelopment of the site difficult.The minimum lot size required for a C-3 district properiy is
35,000 square feet,whereas the minimum lot size required for a C-2 district is 20,000 syuare feet. The
property at 5300 Central Avenue has a lot size of 29,441 square feet; and the property at 5400 Central
Avenue has a lot size of 31,423 square feet. Both parcels are more suitable for the C-2,General Business
zoning than its current non-conforming zoning of C-3, General Shopping.
Ms. Stromberg stated the subject properties are located on the northwest corner of Central Avenue and
53`�Avenue, on the southern edge of the City. They are zoned C-3, General Shopping. The existing gas
station was constructed in 1966 and the restaurant building,which is now Embers,was constructed in
1965. At that time,both properties were zoned C2-S,which was also called a General Shopping zoning
district. When the properties were developed in the 1960's, both uses were allowed by right,where
current code standards would require a special use permit for a gas station use. The properties have
consistently been used as a gas station and restaurant since they were constructed.
Ms. Stromberg stated in 1981 the State of Minnesota filed a quit claim deed to the City of Fridley for an
80-foot piece of right-of-way directly east of the 5300 Central Avenue that was right-of-way for Central
Avenue. The State determined at that time that they no longer needed it; so as a result, it became City
right-of-way.
Ms. Stromberg stated the City's zoning ordinance and official zoning map are the mechanisms that help
the City achieve the vision laid out in the Comprehensive Plan. The law gives the City the authority to
"rezone"property from one designated use to another, so long as the zoning is in conformance with the
Comprehensive Plan. 'The Comprehensive Plan's 2030 future land use map designates this area as
"Redevelopment".
19
Planning Commission Meeting
February 18, 2015
Page 15 of 22
Ms. Stromberg stated the properiy owner of 5300 Central Avenue Ali Hussain and representatives for
him have been working to get this property redeveloped for some time. Periodically over the last year,
they have met with City staff to go over code requirements and to give staff updates on potential clients.
They have recently secured a tenant,Starbucks Coffee Shop, and as a result,have submitted the rezoning
request.
Ms. Stromberg stated staff suggested to the property owner and petitioner that since this property is non-
conforming in relation to lot size,the best option for redevelopment would be to seek a rezoning from C-
3, General Shopping to C-2, General Business. The other option to allow redevelopment of tNis site
would be to ask for several variances, such as lot size and setbacks,to be granted. In order to grant
variances, practical difficulties need to be identified on the site. Rezoning of these parcels based on their
location and size, is the most practical approach in this case.�The C-2, General Business zoning allows
for smaller lots sizes,reduced setbacks, and a variety of retail type uses. Whereas,the C-3, General
Shopping zoning district is more fitted for large box type retailers,like Target and Walmart,or shopping
centers that require larger lot sizes and setbacks.
Ms. Stroraberg stated in order to accomplish a successful rezoning and avoid"spot zoning", it was
determined that Embers needed to also be part of the request. The petitioner and staff talked with Embers
and, since their lot is also non-conforming,they determined it would be beneficial for them to ask for the
rezoning at the same time as the 5300 Central Avenue property.
Ms. Stromberg stated all the turn-back type parcels within the City,which are those lots along major
corridors; that have roadway all around them are zoned C-2, General Business. Though these lots do not
have roadway all around them,they are small parcels located along a major right-of-way,with a frontage
road to provide access. The small lot sizes of these parcels tend to require a commercial zoning of C-2,
General Business,to allow development on smaller lot sizes. The rezoning of these properties is
consistent with the trends already seen along the major corridors of Hvry 65 and University Avenue
within Fridley.
Ms. Stromberg stated with Starbucks on board to lease retail space on the subject property,Mr. Hussain
and his representatives have designed a site plan that will allow for the construction of a new retail
building. The existing gas station, fuel pumps,canopies and underground tanks will be removed,per
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regulations. The new multi-tenant building is progosed to be 6,048
square feet in size. Staxbucks will occupy 2,200 square feet of the building space, and the remainder of
the building will be shell retail space for additional users. The Starbucks will have a drive-thru that
allows stacking room for 13 vehicles,which was designed to not interfere will people entering/exiting and
parking on site. The Starbucks national average for drive-thru stacking is 11 cars, so this lane should
provide adequate space to not impact other users on the site.
Ms. Stromberg stated the new multi-tenant building will be a wood framed structure with aluminum
storefronts and multiple exterior finishes, including glass,thin brick,decorative CMU block and EIFS.
The exterior will also include decorative and functional wall lighting. Canopies will cover the entrances
and a comprehensive sign plan will be adopted to allow a consistent sign package. An outdoor patio will
be provided on the southeast end of the building for the Starbucks and new landscaping will be installed.
The project will also be required to meet any storm water regulations set forth in Chapter 208.
Ms. Stromberg stated the project as designed will require the City to deem the 80 ft.right-of-way east of
the 5300 Central Avenue property, excess and authorize sale to that property owner. The City's Public
20

Works Director has indicated that this short segment of right-of-way isn't needed and has been
problematic for maintenance and snow-plowing, so sale of it to the owner of 5300 Central Avenue,would
be the best way to approach redevelopment of this site,provided a perpetual (permanent)cross access
agreement is filed to allow Embers full access through the site.
Ms. Strumberg stated the City hired Bolton&Menk Engineers and Surveyors Inc.,to do a traffic
analysis of the 53�d Avenue and Central Avenue intersection as well as a segment of 53rd Avenue down to
the intersection of Target and Medtronic. This section of right-of-way is scheduled to be resurfaced
within the next few years,so the City determined it was beneficial to complete the analysis at this time.
What came out of that analysis is that the Central Avenue and 53`d Avenue intersection performs at a
failing level of service in the PM peak hour. In addition, while the crash rate is slightly lower than the
statewide average for 53rd Avenue,the crash severity rate is roughly four times what would be expected in
a typical similaz roadway. This means that most crashes are likely side-on collisions and include left
turning movements.
Commissioner Oquist asked Ms. Stromberg to expand on "failing level of service".
Ms. Stromberg replied,that is a term that engineers use when evaluating intersections and they can
operate at a Level A to F. They typically like to see intersections operating at a Level C or D, and this
intersection currently operates at a Level F. However,the new development will not make that worse or
better. It will stay the saxne.
Ms. Stromberg stated based on the completed traffic analysis,the site plan as designed which allows(2)
access points in and out of the site,where vehicle movements can enter and exit from both points on the
site is discouraged. Though this entering/existing situation exists today,when the City is looking at
allowing redevelopment of a praperty,we need to do our best to correct a bad traffic pattern. As a result,
both the traffic analysis and City staff are suggesting that the proposed(2)access points remain, however,
a one-way loop through the site,that will also allow access through Embers.
Commissioner Oquist asked it would be a one-way on the east side,one going north,and one-way on
the west side going south.
Ms.Stromberg replied,yes. You would enter in on the east side and then out on the west side. They
realize this arrangement is not perfect, it will still continue to function at a Level F. However,short of
constructing a center median all along 53rd Avenue to restrict left turn movement completely,this was
the best option staff felt they could approve for redevelopment of this site.
Ms. Stromberg stated over the last several years,different property owners and developers have come to
the City to consider redevelopment of other parcels within the northwest quadrant of Central Avenue and
53`d Avenue. Some of them have contacted the adjacent property owners to see if there was interest in
selling their property, so the quadrant as a whole could be redeveloped at the same time. Redevelopment
of the whole quadrant at the same time would be the most ideal situarion as it would help resolve the
traffic congestion for the intersection and access issues for the subject properties.
Ms.Stromberg stated there has not been enough interest from all the properiy owners to make this
redevelopment option happen. As a result,the Ciiy has to consider the request for redevelopment that is
before us at this time,and determine the best way to accommodate the redevelopment without creating
further impacts.

Ms. Stromberg stated staff recommends the rezoning of these two properties to C-2, General Business
because it is an overall better fit for the size and location of the properties.
Ms. Stromberg stated when a site plan is developed that all parties can agree on, specifically related to
access in and out of the site,then staff will initiate before the City Council an action to declare the SO-foot
right-of-way excess and authorizing the sale of the excess right-of-way to the 5300 Central Avenue. If a
site plan cannot be agreed upon,ownership of the City land area will not be transferred and
redevelopment of this property will not likely happen.
Ms. Stromberg stated City Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request as Rezoning brings both
lots in compliance with lot size requirements and rezoning will allow redevelopment of the gas station
site.
Bruce Carlson,Vice President of Business Development for poran Companies,he is the team leader and
owner's representative of 5300 Central and he does not represent 5400 Central although they have been
working in collaboration together with City staff for about a yeaz. When he first started on the project he
was with Mid-America Real Estate acting as an owners representative. In June he took a new position
with Doran Companies and has just continued his position. His main role here though is team leader as
far as selecting and assisting with civil engineering,architecture,working with City staff,representing the
owner. The owners of 5300 Central were approached by Starbucks Coffee. They did not have the
property for sale or lease. Representatives of Starbucks identified the site and approached them to go
there which was fortuitous and exciting, and they were all ears to hear about it. That is when he was
engaged to represent the owner.
Mr. Carlson stated at that point they started looking at the site as to how they accommodate Starbucks.
He should also mention there is no intent on the part of the property owners at 5300 to sell the property.
They intend to continue to own it. They would become a landlord, and Starbucks would become a tenant
along with a couple of other tenants the site could accommodate.
Mr. Carlson stated they are in support of the site plan they see before them right now. The owner of
Embers is here also. They also have to remember they are accommodating two properties here and have
to make it all work together. Everyone would admit that no one would want to have an access point so
close to a stoplight but it is what it is. City staff has worked very closely with them, always accepted their
calls to try and figure this puzzle out.
Mr. Carlson stated the Embers is very successful and busy. The two property owners are neighbors and
want to be successful on this together. They have their architect here, Cathy Anderson from Architectural
Consortium, if they have any questions. Their civil engineer is Alliant Engineering. They used them to
make the application for the rezoning. Both owners are here as we1L
Commissioner Oquist asked the petitioner whether they had considered turning that whole property
around so the back of the buildings are facing 65 so the driveway could ba further down from 65.
Mr. Carlson replied that blocks Embers and takes away its access. It looks a lot better with a beautiful
front face to Central with beautiful landscaping. They have yet to make the back of a building look like a
front of a building. This is being driven by Starbucks. Much like building a custom home for somebody
22

they are really accommodating Starbucks. If it does not meet all of their requirements,they are not
coming.
Mr. Carlson stated just to reiterate again,all the tanks will be removed on this site. They have been
working all year with the MPCA. They have been in full compliance and cooperation with tl�e MPCA.
That is looking all very good as well.
Chairperson Kondrick asked if there were folks there from Embers who would like to talk with them?
Joe Rickenbach,Owner of Embers, stated he totally agrees with what Mr. Carlson said. They were
tentative at first. The main concern they have and have had for many years is access for their customers.
The plan they agreed on which is up on the screen right now is something they can deal with. His overall
main concem is changing the route of his customers coming and leaving and possibly losing potential
customers. Also,down the road, if he ever chose to sell the place that would be adequate for future use.
Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr.Rickenbach,he is happy with the plan?
Mr.Rickenbach replied,he is happy with the current plan on the screen that has(2)access points and
allows people to enter and exit from both points.
MOTION by Commissioner Saba to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Oquist.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIItPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 8:26 P.M.
Commissioner Saba staxed the safety will be improved.
Mr.Rickenbach stated he wanted to reiterate as to the couple of plans that were presented. The staff
wanted the certain plan with the one way in and one way out. It is different than what was up on the
screen. He just wanted to clarify that and asked Mr. Hickok to touch on that.
Mr.Hickok stated the Commission has now seen two plans. The petitianer has presented the last plan
the Commission saw and that was really the first plan Ms. Stromberg had in her presentation that had the
two yellow highlighted areas shown. 1'he staff s recommendation was that they talce out the exit where
the current frontage road is so that cars come in,if you are eastbound or westbound,you can come in at
that spot then you would circulate counterclockwise at the site and exit closest to the building going east
or west. It is a counterclockwise loop that would feed into Embers and would allow folks to come out of
Embers on a one-way coming out in front of the store; and it puts that decision to move east further away
from the intersection and would give you frankly, staff thinks,an easier way out. This pulls it back at
least far enough where you have a better chance of turning left from the site(going westbound).
Mr.Hickok stated when the Commission considers this, at feast articulate their thoughts on access,and
ultimately Council will need to decide. Between now and then staff and these properiy owners are going - - -
to come together again and see if there is anything in between that is a solution. However,as they all
want,no harm done by any decision that is made. Thankfully the traff'ic analyst even said that the amount
of traffic in and out of this site can be managed,and they can likely end with a do no harm solution that
does not make them any better than an F but certainly not worse.

Planning Commission Meeting

Chairperson Kondrick stated you would need property signage.
Mr.Hickok replied,proper directional signage would be one thing needed. He knows Mr.Rickenbach
has said that in their meetings; and certainly the petitioners,Mr.Carlson,etc.would agree that signage is
going to be key especially when you have long-term users of a site like Mr.Rickenbach has who are
accustomed at doing things a certain way. Sometimes just changing it a bit can cause a little anxiety,but
proper signage will help that a lot. Ultimately,when you show people how to circulate through a site you
can eliminate a lat of internal conflicts in the site and also out on the roadway.
Mr.Hickok stated imagine somebody coming out that east frontage road going west while somebady
coming out of the western one wants to go east. They find themselves in the same lane,now with cars
coming southbound on Central,rounding the corner at a fairly good clip,and you have two cars making a
decision out on the roadway. They are trying to avoid that simply by having an easy decision. You hook
on,you go counterclockwise through the site, and then you exit whatever direction you want.
Mr.Rickenbach stated what he is really worried about the one-way entrance/exit. Right now his
customers have a clean in and out. If he has a say in the matter,his definite response to this would be
"no" because of the way his customers have to exit. They are going ta have to come around and turn,
then go through(this is when there is no snow on the ground)the entrance of the drive-thru during early
business(as is Embers with early morning breakfast),then they are going to navigate a parking lot(where
right now they do not have to do as there is a straight-in driveway). Also,you have the exit of the drive-
thru again. It is quite the navigation for his customers where right know they don't have to. His main
fear is that it is going to cause trouble for his business.
Mr.Rickenbach stated when Allied�irst came out they were obviously very excited to have something
new on the corner. His only stipulation was that their driveway stays relatively the same. It has changed
some so it curves in now and there are drive-thru parking spots so there is a little bit more action there,
but they were okay with that because it had an entrance and an exit. The one-way is a major issue that he
has.
Mr.Hickok stated he thinks it leaves the Commission in a good position to make a decision and a
recommendation on the zoning and,any comments they want to offer on circulation would be helpful.
They will become part of the record. Obviously there will be more discussion between now and the
Council meeting; and they will have to come to a decision before the Council meeting as they will not
want them in a position to have to referee a decision. If there is some sort of mid-ground solution
between Plan A and Plan B for circulation,they will try and find it. They do not want to, again, put the
Council in a corner so they would not have the land sale,that deems the land access and authorizes the
land sale action on the Council's agenda,until they work that piece out.
Mr.Hickok stated they will likely have to ask for a waiver from the petitioner to State Statute Section 15.
99 that has them acting on this within 60 days simply because they need additionai time to consider
access in and out of the site. Tonight all the Commission really has to focus on is making their
recommendation on the zoning. Ultimately offering their recommendation on circulation which is
important to the minutes. Staff really values the Planning Commission's position on that as well.

OTHER BUSINESS:
Ms. Stromberg stated they are going to be having some public meetings to talk about potential
redevelopment of the Columbia Arena. They did something similar to this when the City was looking at
the redevelopment of Gateway Northeast, which is now the Cielo project. This is very exciting, staff
wants as many people to attend as we can get. T'here will be four meetings. The first one is March 1 l
and they are all on a Wednesday from 6 to 8 o'clock at the Community Center. The information is also on
the City's website and coming out in utility bills as well.
Commissioner Saba asked whether Community Development has some ideas of what could be
developed there and would be beneficial to the City?
Mr. Hickok replied,yes, they do. However, if they will recall those meetings they had on the University
Avenue project,they really want public engagement and want folks to come in with their ideas. They are
going to the first meeting to talk a little bit about what goes through the mind of a planner, a civil
engineer,and an architect as they look at a site like this and how they try to work with the amenity the site
has and also try and develop then an end product that has the highest and best value.
Mr. Hickok stated one of the things that might surprise them is they are not closing out the option of
using the Public Works facility land behind it so basically you open up the avenue to just pure amenity
and then doing a development that just has the creek and the park and everything behind it. That will be
one of the things that will be offered. The second meeting with be design charrets where they will
actually use a scaled aerial photo and putting blocks down and kind of laying out the development as they
see it. There will also be an architect and a finance person. The architect will be drawing up sketches
based on the blocks you aze putting on the aerial photo, and the finance person will be figuring out what a
25
Planning Commission Meeting
February 18, 2015
Page 21 of 22
project like that would cost.
Mr. Hickok stated they do not want to inhibit that free thought by saying, here is what we think. They
would really just like to get public feedback on it, take that in, and use that as food for what they think
could be an even better plan that matches or uses a lot of the good feedback they get back from the public
and then takes what the City staff believes are essentials for the site as well.
Chairperson Kondrick asked,where do they put the Public Works then?
Mr. Hickok replied, they have a couple of ideas on that. Frankly, the new and modern public works
facilities are very different looking. When you look at the aerial photo of that it reminds him a lot of his
grandpa's farm. You have the original house, the farm, and as things change over time, maybe you have
another out building. If you were to do it over again, you would not do it again. You would probably
have the very modern facility that puts stuff inside that does not have the smattering of little out buildings
but does it in a very efficient way. It could even sit on the site,but with everything inside it would iook
very different.
Chairperson Kondrick stated just consolidation.
Mr. Hickok if you look at the new and modern public works facilities, for example, one in Richfield of
which him and Ms. Stromberg took pictures of if they would like to look at. White Bear Lake has a very
nice one that they just completed not too long ago. They have looked at a number of other ones and, if
you looked at it, you would not know it is a public works facility. A very neat one is in Vadnais Heights,
along County Road F,where one end of their building they actually lease out for wedding receptians. He
went to a wedding there not long ago and it was probably one of the most beautiful receptions he went to.
That end of the building is glass looking onto kind of a natural amenity.
Chairperson Kondrick asked when do they expect to have the construction of the Cielo facility
completed?
Mr. Hickok replied, they would like to occupy before year-end. They are thinking October/November
occupancy potentially. One of the reasons for the slow start is that base structure is the garage that is
being built. It looks almost like two buildings right now, but that is because the entrance piece is a
framed piece and not a poured concrete piece like the garage portions. Also, on the southern end Xcel has
an overhead power line that needs to go underground.

Subject: Public Hearing for Rezoning Request, ZOA#15-01,Alliant Engineering, Inc. for 5300 Central
Avenue and 5400 Central Avenue NE
INTRODUCTION
Alliant Engineering, Inc., on behalf of the property owners of 5300 Central Avenue (Super Stop) and
5400 Central Avenue (Embers) is requesting to rezone their properties from C-3, General Shopping to C-
2, General Business. The impetus for the rezoning request at this time is to allow the redevelopment of
the property at 5300 Central Avenue. �
. �.. _ ..i ��� � � q °
���"�� " �
�� �
The current zoning of C-3, General Shopping imposes ��- ' � k <
�
several requirements that make redevelopment of the sites � � � �� �� �� � �
. . «.�, �`� �� � �
difficult.The minimum lot size required for a C-3 district "?� „ �� �,'" � � " ;;; �;
property is 35,000 s q. ft., whereas the minimum lot size y ,�.�,�> �:��� #
� � . �� �
required for a G2 district is 20,000 sq. ft. The property at R -
5300 Central Avenue has a lot size of 29,441 sq. ft. and the .�� ' � � �� ��
property at 5400 Central Avenue has a lot size of 31,423 sq. '�`� "� � ��
ft.
����,` � ���"
Both parcels are more suitable for the G2, General Business � i � ;
�"�' �' ,�`"� d� .��<: �; ��
zoning than its current non-conforming zoning of C-3, t�
General Shopping. �x+• �� � 5,.� �[��► ,

PROPOSED PROJECT �� "� � �"� �:ti�h "� °'�
Starbucks Coffee is on board to lease retail space on the ��,w� ���� ` q� � �_������,� �;
5300 Central Avenue property, so the property owner, Mr. �� � � � ''�� ���`'�"� � �.�; � �
Hussain and his representatives have designed a site plan �����'�°� -�
that will allow for the construction of a new retail building. The existing gas station, fuel pumps,
canopies and underground tanks will be removed, per Minnesota Pollution Control Agency regulations.
The new multi-tenant building is proposed to be 6,048 sq.ft. in size. Starbucks will occupy 2,200 sq.ft.
of the building space and have a drive-thru, and the remainder of the building will be shell retail space
for additional users.
44
The project as designed will require the City to deem the 80 ft. right-of-way east of the 5300 Central
Avenue property excess and authorize sale to that property owner. The City's Public Works Director has
indicated that this short segment of right-of-way isn't needed and has been problematic for
maintenance and snow-plowing, so sale of it to the owner of 5300 Central Avenue, would be the best
way to approach redevelopment of this site, provided a perpetual (permanent)cross access agreement
is filed to allow Embers full access through the site.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At the February 18, 2015, Planning Commission meeting, a public hearing was held for ZOA#15-01.
After some discussion,the Planning Commission recommended approvat of rezoning,ZOA#15-01, as it's
an overall better fit for the size and location of the properties.
THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
UPDATE SINCE THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING
The petitioner, Embers and the City are still in the process of developing a site plan that all parties can
agree on for access in and out of the site, The petitioner and Embers would like to have two full access
intersections(the ability to come in and out of both access points),while the City would like to see a
one-way loop throughout both properties that allows access into the sites on the eastern entrance off of
53`d Avenue and the exit off the western access. The City's preferred plan is not acceptable to Embers,
so since the Planning Commission meeting all three parties have been working to develop an agreeable
site plan.
We are getting close to an agreeable site plan for all parties involved. Staff anticipates that we will bring
an action before the City Council on March 23, 2015 to declare the 80 ft. right-of-way excess and
authorizing the sale of the excess right-of-way to the 5300 Central Avenue.
PLANNING STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing for Rezoning Request, ZOA#15-01.

Rezoning, ZOA #15-01
RE UEST
Alliant Engineering, Inc., on behalf of the property owners of 5300 Central Avenue (Super Stop) and
5400 Central Avenue (Embers) is requesting to rezone their properties from C-3,General Shopping to C-
2, General Business.The impetus for the rezoning request at this time is to allow the potential
redevelopment of the property at 5300 Central Avenue.
The current zoning of C-3, General Shopping imposes several requirements that make redevelopment of
the sites difficult.The minimum lot size required for a C-3 district property is 35,000 sq.ft.,whereas the
minimum lot size required for a C-2 district is 20,000 sq.ft.The property at 5300 Central Avenue has a
lot size of 29,441 sq. ft. and the property at 5400 Central Avenue has a lot size of 31,423 sq. ft. Both
parcels are more suitable for the C-2, General Business zoning than its current non-conforming zoning of
C-3, General Shopping.

In 1981 the State of Minnesota filed a quit claim deed to �- -°'�"'�"� �` � ': ��:�:; '! '
�' r�^.�::t�s�r� .: , , � �.,;r�.��
t� �
the City of Fridley for an 80 ft. piece of right-of-way �, ,�,,, �-,.� ;, :,
directly east of the 5300 Central Avenue that was right- � �' � +� ���� � �`�' ��� �����
����� r
of-way for Central Avenue. The State determined at that
time that they no longer needed it; so as a result, it became City right-of-way.
AN LAYSIS
The City's zoning ordinance and official zoning map are the mechanisms that help the City achieve the
vision laid out in the Comprehensive Plan. The law gives the City the authority to "rezone" property
from one designated use to another, so long as the zoning is in conformance with the Comprehensive
Plan. The Comprehensive Plan's 2030 future land use map designates this area as "RedevelopmenY'.
The property owner of 5300 Central Avenue Ali Hussain and representatives for him have been working
to get this property redeveloped for some time. Periodically over the last year,they have met with City
staff to go over code requirements and to give staff updates on potential clients. They have recently
secured a tenant,Starbucks Coffee Shop, and as a result, have submitted the rezoning request.
Staff suggested to the property owner and petitioner that since this property is non-conforming in
relation to lot size, the best option for redevelopment would be to seek a rezoning from C-3, General
47
Shopping to C-2, General Business. The other option to allow redevelopment of this site would be to ask
for several variances, such as Iot size and setbacks,to be granted. In order to grant variances, practical
difficulties need to be identified on the site. Rezoning of these parcels based on their location and size,
is the most practical approach in this case. The C-2, General Business zoning allows for smaller lots sizes,
reduced setbacks, and a variety of retail type uses. Whereas,the C-3, General Shopping zoning district is
more fitted for large box type retailers, like Target and Walmart,or shopping centers that require larger
lot sizes and setbacks.
In order to accomplish a successful rezoning and avoid "spot zoning", it was determined that Embers
needed to also be part of the request. The petitioner and staff talked with Embers, and since their lot is
also non-conforming,they determined it would be beneficial for them to ask for the rezoning at the
same time as the 5300 Central Avenue property.
All the turn-back type parcels within the City, which are those lots along major corridors; that have
roadway all around them are zoned C-2, General Business. Though these lots don't have roadway all
around them,they are small parcels located along a major right-of-way, with a frontage road to provide
access. The small lot sizes of these parcels tend to require a commercial zoning of C-2, General Business,
to allow development on smaller lot sizes. The rezoning of these properties is consistent with the trends
already seen along the major corridors of Hwy 65 and University Avenue within Fridley.
PROPOSED PROJECT
With Starbucks on board to lease retail space on the subject property, Mr. Hussain and his
representatives have designed a site plan that will allow for the construction of a new retail building.
The existing gas station,fuel
pumps, canopies and

entering/exiting and parking on
site. The Starbucks national average for drive-thru stacking is 11 cars, so this lane should provide
adequate space to not impact other users on the site.
The new multi-tenant building will be a wood framed structure with aluminum storefronts and multiple
exterior finishes, including glass, thin brick, decorative CMU block and EIFS. The exterior will also
include decorative and functional wall lighting. Canopies will cover the entrances and a comprehensive
sign plan will be adopted to allow a consistent sign package. An outdoor patio will be provided on the
southeast end of the building for the Starbucks and new landscaping will be installed. The project will
also be required to meet any storm water regulations set forth in Chapter 208.

The project as designed will require the City to deem the 80 ft. right-of-way east of the 5300 Central
Avenue property, excess and authorize sale to that property owner. The City's Public Works Director
has indicated that this short segment of right-of-way isn't needed and has been problematic for
maintenance and snow-plowing, so sale of it to the owner of 5300 Central Avenue, would be the best
way to approach redevelopment of this site, provided a perpetual (permanent) cross access agreement
is filed to allow Embers full access through the site.
The City hired Bolton & Menk Engineers and Surveyors Inc., to do a traffic analysis of the 53`d Avenue
and Central Avenue intersection as well as a segment of 53`d Avenue down to the intersection of Target
and Medtronic. This section of right-of-way is scheduled to be resurfaced within the next few years, so
the City determined it was beneficial to complete the analysis at this time. What came out of that
analysis is that the Central Avenue and 53`d Avenue intersection performs at a failing level of service in
the PM peak hour. In addition, while the crash rate is slightly lower than the statewide average for 53�a
Avenue, the crash severity rate is roughly four times what would be expected in a typical similar
roadway. This means that most crashes are likely side-on collisions and include left turning movements.
Based on the completed traffic t �'"�"� .. . :� ��a s^�•�^
analysis, the site plan as designed � ' �� _ -*i
--��,
which allows (2) access points in and ' _t0
out of the site, where vehicle � ���
movements can enter and exit from 60 w ' 9 —,�'"-h
both points on the site is a � �
,.�p e•
discouraged. Though this _.--F-----
entering/existing situation exists ��� m � —
today, when the City is Iooking at ` T �'� �
�.' 6.t1�� $ 36 5 A .S��
allowing redevelopment of a . � F,�
property, we need to do our best to � � �:-� •,,;�� �
correct a bad traffic pattern. As a � �������I"�"� � �� ��
result, both the traffic analysis and � '�f
� ;� : � "t�� �...m � .�,�
City staff are suggesting that the �'•,• ,
proposed (2) access points remain, � '�`=," � •� •�+ ,,
however a one-way loop through
the site, that will also allow access ���,,,,,�
through Embers. See plan to the �°����
right. �
This new access arrangement is still not perfect, and the intersection will still continue to function at the
Level F, but short of constructing a center median along 53�d Avenue,to restrict complete left turn
movements out of the property,this is the best option to allow redevelopment of this site.
49
Over the last several years, different property owners and developers have come to the City to consider
redevelopment of other parcels within the northwest quadrant of Central Avenue and 53�d Avenue.
� " �� � � '� � '�t°; � Some of them have contacted the
. .� < � �.� ���.

a site plan can't be agreed upon, ownership of the City land area will not be transferred and
redevelopment of this property won't likely happen.

City Staff recommends approval of this rezoning request.
■ Rezoning brings both lots in compliance with lot size requirements.
■ Rezoning will allow redevelopment of the gas station site.

��ry°f CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 9, 2015
Fridley
Date: March 3, 2015
To: Walter Wysopal, City Manager
From: Scott Hickok, Community Development Director
Julie Jones, Planning Manager
Subject: Continued Public Hearing for Rezoning Request, ZOA#13-02,for 3720 East River Road
Background
City staff has asked the City Council to continue a public hearing several times regarding the rezoning of
3720 East River Road.The reas�n for the delay was to allow time for a redevelopment concept to
finalize that the owner, Prime Security Bank,was working through for the reuse of the site for a funeral
home.That redevelopment concept has been working through many hurdles but now appears ready to
submit for building permit.Since the rezoning of the site from the current C-2 zoning to industrial zoning
would have made the funeral home use difficult,the City Council had agreed to continue the public
hearing until a decision was reached on that use, which staff felt was a suitable reuse of the property
under the current zoning.
Previous Council Action
The first public hearing date was December 2, 2013, but since the owner did not have any
representation at that meeting, a motion was made to continue the public hearing until the next council
meeting to give the owner an opportunity to further explain their desire to delay the rezoning.The Bank
then had representation at the December 9, 2013 Council meeting, where the City Council continued
the public hearing to the July 14, 2104 City Council meeting to allow the Bank time to market the
property under the commercial zoning. This past July,the hearing was tabled until October 27th, 2014,
and then December 22, 2014 to allow time for the Hmong Funeral Home redevelopment to be finalized
and plans to be submitted.The sale of the property had been delayed several times since then, but was
finally completed last week, and the buyer is ready to submit their building plans. Staff has completed
preliminary review of the plans and is pleased to see that the existing building will be removed, a new
8,000 sq.ft. building is proposed with new pavement and landscaping.
Staff Recommendation
City Staff recommends that the City Council open the continued public hearing fo�rezoning request,
ZOA#13-02 and close the public hearing. Since the City staff is the petitioner in this matter, staff has
chosen to withdraw the request to rezone the property at 3720 East River Road from C-2 to M-2 Heavy
Industrial zoning since the funeral home use would not be a permitted use in the M-2 zoning as it is
currently written.

Fridley
MARCH 9, 2015
To: Wally Wysopal, City Manager
From: Darin Nelson, Finance Director
Greg Kotsick, Water& Sewer Operations Manager
Date: March 5, 2015
Re: Resolution Approving Waiver,Release and Covenant not to Sue with Prime Security Bank in
regards to the property located at 3720 East River Road
Background
The Metropolitan Council's Environmental Services division(MCES)notified the City in June of 2012
about a suspicious discharge into a MCES 33" sanitary sewer interceptor near the vicinity of 3720 East
River Road Northeast. On July 2, 2012, city staff discovered the discharge of groundwater in the sanitary
sewer system from the property owned by Prime Security Bank{Prime) at 3720 East River Road
Northeast. Upon inspection of the property, staff found that the basement was completely flooded with
groundwater that Yvas draining in the floor drain leading to the interceptor. Staff performed flow testing
multiple times once it became aware of the illegal discharge. The detected and verified, at peak times, a
flow rate of 4 g/p/m.
Staff notified a designated representative fram Prime on July 7, 2012 of the illegal discharge and that the
problem needed to be corrected as soon as possible and that Prime would be charged for the illegal
discharge. In August of 2012, after receiving no response from Prime, staff again spoke with Prime and
notified them that flow rates had not changed and the problem needed to be corrected. The representative
from Prime indicated he would speak with his superiors to implement corrective actions to stop the illegal
discharge. However, Prime did nothing to correct the problem and illegal discharge continued through
2013.
Staff contacted Prime's representative again in the summer of 2014 to discuss Prime's responsibility to
correct the problem. Upon further inaction by Prime, staff billed Prime for two plus years of sanitary
sewer service with estimated flow rates for the period time. After receiving their utility bill, Prime
contacted the City and where ultimately allowed to perform a temporary fix rather than undertaking the
much more costly fix of capping the improper connection and removing pipes and other fittings leading to
the sanitary sewer. The temporary fix was ultimately approved since the City was aware of a potentiai
sale of the property that would bring a permanent solution to the problem.
Even though several flow tests were performed over the course of two years, actual discharge flows are
not possible since discharge flow meters were not installed at this location, nor are flow meters a common
feature for routine sewer connections. Staff believes they calculated conservative total flows over the
timeframe that are justifiable; but in reality, the total flow calculation was an estimate. The City
negotiated directly with Prime on an amount that is satisfactory for both parties. Prime agrees to pay the
60
City $6,000 in regards to discharge fees; and in exchange,the City agrees to provide Prime with a waiver,
release and covenant not to sue for the discharge fees.
In addition to the $6,000 payment for the discharge fees,Prime is responsible for the storm water and base
sewer fees for the current billing period which amounts to $294.48. Prime did close on the sale of the
property on February 25, 2015. Upon approval of the release,Prime will wire funds in the amount of
$6,294.48 to the City.
Recommendation
Approve resolution granting a waiver, release and covenant not to sue to Prime Security Bank in exchange
for agreed upon payment of$6,294.48 for discharge fees and current storm water and base sewer fees.

Subject: Resolution approving Special Use Permit Request, SP#14-07, by TCO Design for the
properties at 5300 and 5310 4th Street
ANAYLSIS
The petitioner, Todd Ofsthun, with TCO Design, on behalf of A. P. Ventures is seeking a special use
permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building.
The petitioner originally was before the Planning Commission on November 19, 2014, to allow this use
on the property at 5310 4th Street. Due to neighborhood and Planning Commissioners concerns
specifically related to parking, the petitioner
waived State Statue 15.99, which requires the City
to get the land use item through the process in 60 • ,
days,to do further analysis. -
i'
Since the November Planning Commission j" x �� .�
meeting,the petitioner and representatives for the ,,%l'
project have negotiated a purchase agreement �::_,�n�,-�' �
with the owner of the property directly south at e �
�
5300 4`h Street. The additional land area will allow �'� �., _
for more on-site parking. %J � �
� �
The properties are zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and a Y
convalescent home type uses are allowed in this �.s„ �
zoning district with a special use permit. '°�
The proposed facility will have a Comprehensive -w
Home Care Provider License through the
Minnesota Department of Health.
The owners of this project have affiliations with 59f2D AVENUE N.E.
Allina, Fairview, and the University of Minnesota
to offer the use of the proposed facility to potential patients. The patients using the facility will be
69
recovering from surgery, transplant (pre-op and post-op) or another type of inedical procedure that
leaves them needing extensive rehab and medical sei-vices. This type of use is needed for patients, who
for medical reasons, can't be on their own and do not have family or friends who can care for them.
Site Plan Modifications since the November Plannin�Commission Meetin�
The new site plan incorporates (2) parcels of land—5310 and 5300 4th Street. The actual square footage
of the building has been reduced in size from 2,920 sq. ft. to 2,486 sq. ft. The reason for this change is
the (2) indoor garage stalls have been removed from the plan. The existing garage on the 5300 4tn
Street property will remain in place, which will provide parking as well as room for garbage and recycling
containers.
The proposed building will still be 3-stories, with a maximum height of approximately 35 ft. In this
zoning district, a 6-story building is allowed. Each level will have (5) separate bedrooms for patients and
a common area, with a great room, kitchen, bathroom, storage, and laundry. The building will have an
elevator and will be have a fire suppression system. The new site plan allows for 12 surface parking
stalls and 2 garage stalls,for a total of 14 parking stalls. The previous plan had a total of 8 parking stalls.
The petitioner has also submitted a landscape plan showing new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and
will be required to construct storm water treatment on site to ensure that drainage is maintained on
site.
The house on the lot at 5300 4`h Street will be removed prior to the proposed facility being occupied.
Once removed the lot will be sodded and landscaped.
PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
At the February 18, 2015 Planning Commission meeting, a 2"d public hearing was held for SP#14-07.
Commission Oquist still expressed concerns over there not being enough parking stalls for the proposed
use, even though 6 additional stalls have been added to the site plan. Staff further explained that this
industry has articulated to staff over and over again that the parking needs for this type of use are much
less than people may expect. Staff would rather not require large amounts of parking that aren't being
used. A special use permit does give the City the ability to call the permit back for further review if
something isn't working related to the use, therefore the City is protected in the event parking does
become a concern and the permit needs to be brought back to the Council for further review.
One neighboring property owner had concerns about the use of the building and what kind of inedical
use it would be. As explained in the staff report and by the petitioner the proposed use is a
comprehensive home health care use that will be licensed by the State of Minnesota. The petitioner
describes it as a high-tech medical facility using telemedicine connected through the University of
Minnesota and Fairview Hospitals. It will be staffed with nurses that the Minnesota comprehensive
home care license will dictate.
All other questions from neighboring property owners whether related to the use of the alley, parking
on the street, property values, height of the structure, status of the occupants within the house at 5300
4`h Street were either answered by staff or the petitione�at the Planning Commission meeting.
After receiving pubfic comment,the Planning Commission recommended approval of SP#14-07, with
the stipulations as suggested by staff.
THE MOTION CARRIE� UNANIMOUSLY.
70
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission and approval of the attached
resolution for SP#14-07.
STIPULATIONS
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building,fire, and ADA requirements.
3. City engineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage, and utility p/an prior to issuance

4. Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of
building permit.
5. If on-street parking becomes an issue as a result of this use, the special use permit and options
for additional parking shall be further reviewed by the City Council at the owner's expense.
6. If the comprehensive home health care use changes, the special use permit shall be further
reviewed by the City Council.
7. The petitioner shall file the necessary documents with Anoka County to combine both of the lots
involved in this projeci, 5300 and 5310 4`h Street, prior to issuance of a building permit.

Land Use Application
Special Use Permit #14-07
REQUEST
The petitioner, Todd Ofsthun, with TCO Design, on behalf of A. P.Ventures is seeking a special use
permit to allow the construction of a comprehensive home care building. The petitioner originally was
before the Planning Commission on November 19, 2014,to allow this use on the property at 5310 4tn
Street. Due to neighborhood and Planning Commissioners concerns specifically related to parking,the
petitioner waived State Statue 15.99, which requires the City to get the land use item through the
process in 60 days,to do further analysis.
Since the November Planning Commission meeting, the petitioner and representatives for the project
have negotiated a purchase agreement with the owner of the property directly south at 5300 4`h Street.
The additional land area will allow for more on-site parking.
The neighbors also expressed concerns about the operation of the facility and types of staffing needed
for the patients. The operator of the facility will be present at the Planning Commission meeting to
further answer those questions.
The properties are zoned R-3, Multi-Family, and convalescent home type uses are allowed in this zoning
district with a special use permit.
The proposed facility will have a Comprehensive Home Care Provider License through the Minnesota
Department of Health.
PROPOSED PROJECT
The owners of this project have affiliations with Allina, Fairview, and the University of Minnesota to
offer the use of the proposed facility to
potential patients. The patients using the
facility will be recovering from surgery,
transplant (pre-op and post-op)or "
another type of inedical procedure that
_........ , ,
leaves them needing extensive rehab and _.___._..�._
medical services. This type of use is x � '
needed for patients, who for medical
reasons, can't be on their own and do not ''� a
have family or friends who can care for ° �?
�
them. °' �
�
Site Plan Modifications since the Y
� �
November Plannin�Commission Meetin�
�_� �,�.�..�
As stated above,the new site plan ,� '�
incorporates (2) parcels of land—5310 ��` "`
and 5300 4`h Street. The actual square
footage of the building has been reduced
in size from 2,920 sq. ft. to 2,486 sq. ft.
The reason for this change is the (2)
indoor garage stalls have been removed '
from the plan. The existing garage on the `�°��AYENUE N.E,
73
5300 4th Street property will remain in place,which will provide parking as well as room for garbage and
recycling containers.
The proposed building will still be 3-stories, with a maximum height of approximately 35 ft. Each level
will have (5) separate bedrooms for patients and a common area, with a great room, kitchen, bathroom,
storage, and laundry. The building will have an elevator and will be have a fire suppression system. The
new site plan allows for 12 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls, for a total of 14 parking stalls. The
previous plan had a total of 8 parking stalls. The petitioner has also submitted a landscape plan showing
new tree, shrub and perennial plantings and will be required to construct storm water treatment on site
to ensure that drainage is maintained on site.
The existing house on the lot at 5300 4`h Street is currently being rented. Staff understands from the
petitioner that the lease is up on the house in May. At that time, the residents could sign a month to
month lease, until the new building is completed. Upon completion of the new building, the existing
house will be required to be removed from the property within one year of building permit issuance.
The lot will then need to meet landscaping requirements and be properly maintained.
SITE DESCRIPTION & HISTORY
The subject property is zoned R-3, Multi-Family and has been since the City's first zoning map. The
majority of this neighborhood (east of University Avenue, north of 53�d Avenue, and west of 7`h Street) is
zoned R-3, Multi-Family,with some parcels in the middle of the neighborhood zoned R-2,Two-Family
and parcels on the east edge zoned R-1, �� ' �,�_ � , � ��� ,

remained vacant since then.
5300 4`h Street—The existing house was constructed in 1959 and the detached garage was constructed
in 1964.
CODE REQUIREMENTS
Hospitals, Clinics, and convalescent/nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3; Multi-Family
zoning district provided that the proposed project complies with the requirements for the special use
permit, subject to the stipulations. The proposed use as a comprehensive home care use is most
74
comparable to a convalescent home or rehab facility use and therefore staff has determined that a
special use permit would be required for the proposed use to exist on this site.
Based on the slope of the lot,the building will look like a 3-story building from the alley and more like a
2%z-story building from 4`h Street. Each floor will have 5 separate bedrooms,so the building has the
ability to house a total of 15 patients. Due to the medical conditions the patients have,they are unable
to drive. As a result, parking needs for this use will be for the staff and visitors to the site. The
petitioner has articulated that the maximum number of staff on site at any one time wil� be 6. Any staff
meetings for employees will either occur off-site or through electronic media. The new site plan shows
12 surface parking stalls and 2 garage stalls within the detached garage on the 5300 4`h Street property.
The garage and the (2)stalls in front of the garage will be accessed off 53�d Avenue. Ten parking stalls
will be accessed from the alley. The new design of the parking area will allow a one-way loop through
the parking area, so vehicles won't have to back into the alley to leave the property and it also provides
better circulation for staff,visitors, delivery vehicles and emergency vehicles. The building wilt only be
accessed from 4th Street through the use of a sidewalk.
Based on code requirements for a nursing home,which is the most similar use to the comprehensive
home care use,8 parking stalls are required. The previous site plan did comply with code requirements.
The neighbors,the Planning Commissioners and staff did have some concerns as to whether this would
be enough based on 6 employees potentially being on-site at any one time, plus visitors, and any other
specialized staff needed for the patients. As a result,the plan has been updated to provide a total of 12
parking stalls, plus 2 garage stalls. When approving a request like this, staff wants to make sure there is
adequate parking provided on-site and that the use isn't dependent upon on-street parking. The 12
parking stalls will be adequate for staff and visitors, however since the street isn't signed "no parking", it
is likely that from time to time visitors will park on the street. This is acceptable, provided it doesn't
start becoming a problem. Staff will keep the stipulation previously placed on the special use permit
that states if on-street parking becomes an issue for this site,the special use permit will need to go back
before the City Council for further review.
The special use permit will also need to go back before the Council for review if in the future the use of
the building is changed. The building as designed couldn't work if people residing in it didn't have health
conditions that didn't allow them to drive.
The proposed expansion meets lot coverage and setback requirements. The petitioner has submitted a
landscape plan and a grading and drainage plan. Both of those plans will be further reviewed by City
staff prior to issuance of a building permit.
RECOMMENDATIONS
City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit request as hospitals, clinics and convalescent
and nursing homes are a permitted special use in the R-3, Multi-Family zoning district.
STIPULATIONS
Staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached.
1. The petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. The petitioner shall meet all building,fire, and ADA requirements.
3. City engineering staff to review and approve grading, drainage, and utility plan prior to issuance
of a building permit.
4. Landscape and Irrigation plan to be reviewed and approved by City Staff prior to issuance of
building permit.

Planning Department
Re: Home Care Facility
5310 4"'Street NE
Fridley,MN 55421
Hello Stacy,
Thank you for considering our Special Use Permit for a Home Care Facility at 5310 4"'Street NE. It is important
to the people asking for the Special Use Permit that this is a well run, low key facility that will not have a
negative impact on the neighborhood. Because of the push back from the Planning Commission we have made
several changes to the proposed facil'�ty.
The biggest is obtaining the property next door,5300 4"'Street NE.We will renovate and use the existing
detached garage for garbage cans and availability fortwo indoor parking spaces.l counted those and the
existing two spaces as only 2 spaces for our count.We expanded the parking into 5300 as shown on the site plan
giving us a total of 12 parking spaces.The proposed building is now 3 story(2 facing 4�'Street),7458 square
foot,3 unit, l5 bed Home Care Facility.
This facility will be run by Wish Medical. It will be an acute care facility designed towards Transitional Care Units
and will use Telemedicine to maximize care with minimal on site care.The principals are Susan McDonough and
Ashley Smith.The Comprehensive Home Care license will be held by Ashley who is currently with Allina.Susan is
currently with Fairview.The number of employees when the facility is full will be 6.This is the number of
employee required by the State for this type of facility and care.This is also the number.that Wish Medical
needs to provide the patients with meals, personal hygiene and any other patient needs.The employees will
also be responsible for housekeeping. Building maintenance,landscape maintenance and snow removal will be
hired out.There is plenty of on-site snow storage space.
The ctosest use of the building will be assisted living. Based on Fridiey City Code,our parking requirement is 7�4
spaces.If considered a nursing home, 10 spaces would be required.As a triplex, l0 Y:spaces.The proposed
facility meets and exceeds Fridtey City code with 12 proposes spaces.The 12 spaces provide adequate parking
area for employees,visitors,employee transitions and deliveries.
The delive�ies to this facility will depend on the number of patients at any one time.This is not a clinic or a
hospftal,The detiveries will probably be made with sma{{er vehicles.Simi{ar to fed-ex or UPS type vans.There
should only be a littie increase of deliveries to a traditional three unit building.They wilf be made from the aliey
side where we are proposing adequate driveway to ensure the delivery vans will be on site during their visft.The
location of the deliveries and the privacy shrubs being proposed,should minimize the irr�pact of the delivery van
traffic.
81
The vast majoriry of patients that will stay at this facility will be bedridden.Because of the health condition of
the other patients,they will be mostly sedentary and wiil not be wandering around the exterior of the building.
The minimum stay of the patients at this facility is 60 days.The average could be one to two years depending on
the patient.There should be no more daytime traffic than any other three unit building.
There are several advantages to this facility over a typical triplex.It is important to the owner and operators that
this site is wett maintained and run.All aspects of site and building maintenance will kept to high standards.The
groups associated with this facil'ity as well as others they are hoping to have an affiliation,have higfi standards
for this type of facility and for their patients.Whi1e the activities of this building might be a little higher at times,
there will be no large parties,barbeques,gatherings,etc.
The applicant and his associates have gone to great lengths to show the Planning Commission and City Council
that they are dedicated to put in the effort needed to build and maintain a building and a business that has the
highest standards of operation and dedication for your City.Obtaining the neighbo�ing property shows they
listen and react to the City Staff,the Citizens of Fridley and the Planning Commission.I ask that you approve the
Special Use Permit for this Facility.
Thank you again for your consideration,

Fridley, MN 55429
To whom it may Concem-
I received two of the letters in regards to the prope�#ies across from me 5300 and 5310
possibte being bought by a commercial c�mpany for home healthcare. I am very much
opposed to this building being put up, as weli as any parking that may obscure my
views. Below I wili be fisting my reasons as to why t'm against this.
4kay, a little bit about me. As I am new to the Fridley area and a first time home buyer. I
knew there could pote�tially be something built over the vacan#!ot adjunct to me. But
never did t c�onsider the possibil+ty that the house directly across couW be torn down to
build something comme�cial. I like this neighborhood. You get a taste of the cit�► li�e and
sometimes feel out in the suburbs. I have a beautiful perennial garden that+s located on
the 4�'street side of the house. lf a new 3-story building was buiit, I woutd lose all my
evening sunlight,for my plants to thrive. It would make my house dreary, and lose any
natura!sunlight 1 get to heat my house in the winter. In the summers, I garden, half of
my yard on the 53'" side which would be affected if the sunlight is lost. l feel stron9ly,
about preserving the environment, by making it beautiful.
Not to mention the noise of new construction, fihe heighten traffic and the devaluing of
my home. Having a non-single family home, move in would be an "eye sore"for any
potential future neighbors to this area. I really don't want to even think of the poiential
crime that could now become a problem with people constantly coming and going.
I feei there are much better ideas of how to improve those fin►o lots. Not sure what the
status is with #he current owner of the property at 5300. The house definitely needs
some work, but so does a few others in.the neighborhood. The vacant lot, why can't a
single famify home be rebuilt in its place? There was a home many years ago, why not
start over and give it a fresh start. Why not think about ways to improve the
neighborhood, instead of ways to commercialize it?A communit�r garden would be a
really nice addition to the neighbofiood. Keeping the trees, and keeping it"Friendly
Fridley".
This home care plaae that wants to move in can find a place that is designed for
commercial property like university. Please cansider these thoughts as you make your
final decision of what to do with these lots. As 1'm a new home owner to Fridley, I would
love to keep living here for years to come. Raise my children in this school district. Just
as my neighbor Pam has lived here nearly 40 years.

Dear Fridley Planning Commission:
i regret 1 wi{I not be able to attend your Planning Commission meeting this evening. I can
obtain the corporate documents for Wish Medical with my partner Ashley Smith if
needed. Ms. Smith will be able to answer questions regarding patient care and
operations on my behalf.
Under this license the classification would be considered assisted living for the city code,
and care model. Our care model is similar to other facilities in the metro area (Senior
Care Network reference book) with a new extra layer of protection called Teie-
Medicine.(see attached letter of intent from the University of Minnesota Hospitals). Our
model is for patients that are either out of the ICU's, or TCU's, but cannot ga home
because of the need for nursing care. Our patients will consist of Alzheimer, Memory,
Parkinson, Renal, Bariatric, and Pulmonary patients.
Wish Medicai will take patients from several sources including private, hospitals, and
county sources. Staffing will follow the guidelines provided by the Minnesota
Department of Health. Wish feels this is a perfect location because of being one block
off University, and very close to the Hospital. Th+s facility will be new, and have a{I the
new amenities inciuding elevator, fire protection (sprinkler), and high end electronics to
monitor both the building, and patients.
My experience is I am the head of the tax division for Fairview Health Systems, and have
worked for Fairview for the past 17 years. My job duties are to keep the books for all of
Fairview's ent+ties of which include Fairview Hospitals, The University of Minnesota
Hospitals, Ebenezer Healthcare Services and a11 aspects of the Healthcare industry. Ms.
Smith and I will work together on this project in all aspects moving forward.

`�'°` CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 5, 2015
Fridley
To: Walter Wysopal, City Manager/�l��
From: Jack Kirk, Director of Parks and Recreation
Date: March 3, 2015
Re: Agreement with Hoisington Koegler Group Inc. to Provide Phase 2
Site Improvement Design for the Springbrook Nature Center SPRING
Project
City staff, our Construction Manager poc Smith, our local SPRING Project Team and the
Architects continue to move forward on Phase 1 of the Springbrook Nature Center improvement
project(the building addition, remodeling and adjacent site improvements). The plans are
getting finalized and we look forward to have those plans presented to the Fridley City Council
on March 16. Phase 2 of this project will see additional improvements to the seven acre
entrance area of the Springbrook Nature Center. These improvements include the outdoor
pavilion, the amphitheater, a celebration plaza, outdoor nature based play area, outdoor
classrooms, a supporting trail network, and additional supporting site improvements such as
lighting, furnishings and plantings.
It is important that the plans for Phase 2 are properly integrated with the Phase 1 development,
especially when it comes to location of facilities,utility needs, and trail alignment. To
accomplish this coordination, I am recommending that the City enter into an agreement with
Hoisington Koegler Group to provide a site improvement design for Phase 2 of the Springbrook
Nature Center SPRING Project. Hoisington Koegler Group is the Landscape Architect Design
firm working together with the building architects from Partners and Sirny on Phase 1
components. Hoisington Koegler landscape architects plan to work closely with Partners and
Sirny architects on the Phase 2 components as well.
The services provided by Hoisington Koegler Group with this agreement will include working
closely with our local SPRING Project Committee on the schematic design and design
development of the Phase 2 improvements. The design development drawings will illustrate
detailed site plans, floor plans, elevations,material selections, structures, grading and drainage
concepts,planting concepts, utiliTy concepts, and construction details necessary to accurately
price the design components. At the conclusion of the process in late May or early June, we will
have the consultants present the design development drawings and cost estimates to the Parks
and Recreation Commission. When funding is secured to move forward with the various
features of the Phase 2 improvements,the consultants would be available to work with the City
to complete the construction drawings and facilitate the bidding process.

Re: Springbrook Nature Center Phase 2 Site Improvements
Dear Jack:
Thank you for contacting the Partners&Sirny/Hoisington Koegler Group Inc.(HKGi)Team about
preparing a proposal for Phase 2 Site Improvements at Springbrook Nature Center. We have truly enjoyed
our working relationship with the City of Fridley and the SPRING Design Committee on the Phase 1
building expansion and site modifications and are excited about the opportunities these outdoor features
will bring to Springbrook Nature Center.
Through our conversations with you and Malcolm Mitchell regarding this effort,along with the direction
received at the Springbrook Board Meeting on February 9`'',we have cra8ed a proposal focused on
completing schematic design and design development for the Phase 2 Site Improvements. The core of the
effort is to further develop the outdoor features such as the Celebration Plaza,Pavilion,Outdoor
Amphitheater,Nature Play Areas,and gathering areas and to also integrate the current building expansion
and site improvement project with the planned Phase 2 Improvements,particularly related to key features
between phases,trail circulation,and potential future utilities needed in the Phase 2 Site Improvement
area.To accomplish this we propose an evaluation of the existing SPRING Master Plan elements tlu�ough
the schematic design process and then further flush these features in design development to truly
understand location,design,and most importantly,cost for the desired Phase 2 Site Improvements. The
following proposal summarizes our understanding of the project, outlining our proposed approach,fees,
and anticipated project schedule.
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The scope of this effort is primarily identified as the Phase 2 elements from the SPRING Master Plan,with
the focus on the following features:
• Outdoor pavilion&celebration plaza;
• Outdoor amphitheater;
• Outdoor nature play area;
• Outdoor classrooms and gathering areas;
• Supporting trail network;
• Necessary infrastructure,and;
• Additional supporting site improvements such as lighting, furnishings,plantings,etc.
From the 2010 SPRING Master Plan cost estimate,the three major components included:
Line 2)Outdoor Pavilion&Celebration Plaza=$650,000(pavilion,$375,000;site$275,000);
Line 3)Outdoor Amphitheater and Drop-Off Area=$300,000,and;
Line 7)Outdoor Classrooms&Nature Play=$360,000.

February 13,2014
PROJECT APPROACH&WORK PLAN
To accomplish this effort we propose the following work plan that closely parallels the successful process
for the current Phase 1 work. We will begin with a project design charrette with the SPRING Design
Committee, and then based on the outcomes of the charrette we will create schematic design concepts to
test program, relationships,and level of intensity and then review with the SPRING Design Committee.
We will create a preferred schematic design to delineate Phase 1 and Phase 2 work and then create a design
development set for accurate pricing and colored renderings to aid in fund raising. Our detailed work plan
is as follows:
Schematic Design
Starting with the design charrette,we will assess the SPRING Master Plan and the proposed features as
well as understand the relationship to the current Phase 1 building expansion and site work. We will refine
the master plan design of the outdoor pavilion,celebration plaza,outdoor amphitheater,nature playground,
outdoor classrooms,and infrastructure for the entire Phase 2 area. The following tasks and deliverables
will be completed during the schematic design phase of the work:
1. Conduct design charrette with the SPRING Design Committee to confirm programmatic elements,
their relationships,and to discuss level of intensity for intended improvements
2. Develop up to two(2)schematic design alternatives based on the outcomes of the design charrette
3. Meet with the SPRING Design Committee to present the schematic design drawings for review
and comment
4. Refine the drawings and prepare a preferred schematic design drawing set including:
a. Layout of all site, architectural and infrastructure elements.
b. Preliminary site grading and drainage plans.
c. Establish the design intent for site improvements including storm water management,
utilities, surface improvements and erosion control.
d. Review compatibility of existing utilities with specific project requirements.
e. Schematic planting design concepts
f. Preliminary material options will be reviewed and analyzed for compiiance with project
goals.
5. Meet with the SPRING Design Committee to present the preferred schematic design drawings for
review and comment.
6. Present to the Park&Recreation Commission the prefened schematic design for Phase 2
Design Development
The Partners& Sirny/HKGi Team will refine the schematic design for the proposed Phase 2 area
incorporating comments provided by the SPRING Design Committee. Design Development drawings will
illustrate detailed site plans,floor plans,elevations,materials selections,structures,grading and drainage
concepts,planting concepts, utility concepts,and all construction details necessary to accurately price the
approved design. The following tasks and deliverables will be completed during the Design Development
phase of the work:
1. Prepare Design Development level drawings far site,building, and infrastructure improvements,
including the following:
a. Tree Protection Plan
b. Site Demolition Plan
c. Architectural Plans and Elevations

Construction Documents&Construction Administration
Upon completion of the design development set,the Parmers&Sirny/HKGi Team will be available to
strategize with the City of Fridley and the SPRING Design Committee the most appropriate track for
construction of the desired Phase 2 work. With the number of unknowns related to the detailed design, we
feel this is in the best interest of the City of Fridley, Springbrook Nature Center and the design team based
on available funding,design complexity,and overall project scope. We will revisit this stage upon the
completion of design development with the City and SPRIN Design Committee.
FEES
For this effort we will bill our services on an hourly basis for a not-to-exceed amount of$66,225 including
incidental expenses for mileage and printing. Hourly rates will be per each firm's standard hourly rate
schedule provided as a part of the Phase 1 project.

SCIIEDULE
Understanding the desire for the SPRING Design Committee and the City of Fridley to best understand the
integration of Phase 1 and Phase 2 Site Improvements,we would anticipate commencing work
immediately upon approval,or modification of the existing contract. We will work quickly to bring the
Phase 2 area through schematic design and design development over the next months. The availability of
the City Staff and SPRING Design Committee will help refine the key dates,but our anticipated schedule
could look like this:

MARCH 9, 2015
TO: WalterT. Wysopal, City Manag�`�� PW15-010
�ROM: James P. Kosluchar, Pubfic Works Director
DATE: March 5, 2015
SUBJECT: Reso{ution Designating Load Limits on City Streets
The attached resolution establishes annual winter/spring load limits for focal streets in Fridley under
City of Fridley jurisdiction. Minnesota Statutes §169.87 allows municipalities, with respect to
highways under their jurisdiction, by ordinance, to impose limitations to weights of trucks or
commercial vehicles on designated roadways within a designated spring period when roadways are
subject to increased damage due to frost and moisture conditions. The statute allows an exemption
for buses, refuse and recycling vehicles, utility vehicles, and other specialized vehicles. Chapter
503 of Fridley City Code authorizes the City Council to establish weight restrictions by resolution.
This resolution ailows us to piace the notice to those affected at an appropriate time based upon the
spring thaw. Load limits stay in effect until the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT)
informs us of them raising the limits on State roads in Fridley. Anoka County currently follows the
weight restriction dates established by MnDOT for County roads and highways.
In the past,we have requested annual approval from the City Council to publish winter/spring load
limits for City Streets. This resolution has been updated annually to reflect the segments with
modified weight limits based on modifications to roadways, pavement and soil investigations, and
changes in traffic established by the Public Works Department Engineering Division.
As a matter of efficiency, we have prepared a draft resolution which directs staff to evaluate and
modify weigh limits annually, and publish those limits determined without annual City Counc+l
action.The updated resolution will allow savings in publication costs through referral to information
on the City's website.
In addition,the resolution authorizes exception through an overweight permitting process which will
be utilized to provide exception in cases of hardship and charging a fee that will cover costs of
damage for any exception. This parallePs the MnDOT process for approving overweight
exceptions, and provides a better service to those hardship cases. We anticipate at most a handful
of requests for exceptions in any one season.
Staff recommends that the City Council move to approve the attached resolution Designating
Load Limits on City Streets in the City of Fridley. If approved, Public Works Staff will update
weight limit information and publish information on the location of weight limits in Fridley annually.

Re: Resolution in Support of Legislation Establishing an Early Voting Process for Voters
in Minnesota
The Minnesota Senate has been conducting hearings on SF414, authored by Senator Katie Sieben,
which introduces early voting. As an election administrator, our staff is on the front line ensuring
Fridley residents have an accessible, efficient and secure voting experience. We are committed to
administering the election laws and rules with the utrnost degree of integrity and security.
No excuse absentee ballot voting was implemented in 2014. While the voter turnout was lower in
the City, we did experience a 2% increase in absentee voting over 2012. Most of that increase
occurred the last two weeks prior to each election. The majority of those voting did not understand
the process and found it cumbersome and confusing and wondered how their ballots would be
secured and counted. We provided information on the process and assured them every precaution
would be taken to secure it properly and have it counted.
The City has a Joint Powers Elections Agreement with Anoka County. The County administers the
mail absentee balloting and the City administers the in person absentee balloting. The current in
person absentee voting process requires city election staff to spend an average of about 10 to 15
minutes per voter for election sta.ff and other city staff members serving on the Absentee Ballot
Board another 4 minutes per absentee ballot which equates to about $7.43 per absentee ballot. The
absentee ballots are then sent to Anoka County for additional processing and tabulating. With the
advent of no-excuse absentee ballot voting, the number is expected to increase substantially in
2016, as it is a presidential election year with no presidential incumbent on the ballot.
In person absentee voting in Anoka County begins 46 days before each election and encompasses
about 19 steps from the time the application is completed until it is turned over to Anoka County for
additional processing and counting. Attachment 1 is a chart showing the voter's experience
between in-person absentee ballot voting and early voting for reference. The County would
continue to administer mail absentee balloting and delegate early voting to the cities. Early voting
would begin 15 days before each election and would encompass 9 or 10 steps. For the City of
100
Fridley it means a change from 373 "voting hours" to 137 "voting hours" per election providing a
66% reduction in staff time. This change would also make the process more transparent and
efficient for our voters. Early voting provides the voter the same experience as the polling place
allowing them to place their voted ballot in the vote tabulator before they leave. They would know
first-hand that their ballot was counted or be provided an opportunity to correct their ballot if the
vote tabulator returned their vote.
Staff believes early voting is a "no brainer" and makes much more sense. The national and local
media already refer to absentee ballot voting as early voting. Our election equipment is new and
can handle the process. Early voting is a more cost effective method and a more transparent and
efficient process for our voters.
Staff recommends a motion adopting a resolution in support of legislation establishing an early
voting process for the Voters of Minnesota, as shown in Attachment 2.
