The meeting was called to order by Chairman Minish at :30 P.M..
ERS SENT: Miinish, Ahonen, Drigans, O' on, S dheimer
OTHERS PRESENT: Al Bagstad-Building Official
MMON by Ahonen to approve the minutes of the August jl1, 1970 meeting as
written.
Seconded by Sondheimer. Upon a voice vote, there beim no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
Chairman Mlinish reported to the Board the action taken by the Council on the
August 11, 1970 Board of Appeals items.
Mr. Johnson was present to present his request. i
Mr. Johnson stated he has been trying to sell this land for about 2 years. He
now has a prospective buyer for this lot, Mir. Allan Mia�at
son, but the sale depends
on whether a 4 plea can be constructed on the lot. MirMattson does own other
4 plexs in the immediate area. Mr. Johnson continued this lot is now
enclosed by three roads for which he had to dedicate 1 d. Because of these
dedications, the land area is now not sufficient to met the present Code
requirement for land area for a 4 plea. He stated head paid for sewer and
water, paving and storm sewer and he pays around $800. 0 in assessments on this
lot and he just can't afford to maintain this lot any onger as he is retired
and owns a home that he has to maintain.
Mr. Drigans asked if he had talked to any of the Burro ding property owners.
Mr. Johnson said that he had and two of them, Mir. Fragsle and Mr. Segner, had
told him they would appear in his behalf at this meetitig but apparautiy had
not been able to attend. 7
Mr. Mattoon stated that this lot is bigger than his other lots that house
4 plats and he has had no problemswith them.
Mr. Q Bannon asked if there was sufficient room for parking.
Mr. -Mattoon answered that there was •end he added that 'ince he owns the
adjacent 4 plexe if there is any problem with the parking he was'sure he could
work it out.
2.
Mr, Mattoon said the lot is not very good for anythin but a multiple dwelling
as the lot is surrounded by multiples.
Mr. Drigans asked how soon the construction would sty, t if the variance was
approved
Mr, Mattson answered about January of 1171.
4. `here were no objections from any surrounding property owners.
Seconded by O'Bannono Upon a voice vote, there being no ways, the motion
carried unanlmmsly.
® & s � Wilson were Present to present the request.
Mr. Wilson stated the variance asked for was actually more than what would
be necessary. The measurement of 6.5 feet was only a Suess and after measuring
the fencev we would need only a 1 foot 4 inch variance. The height of the
fence is 4 feet and the 'retaining wall under the fence would be the height of
2 standard cement blocks or 16 inches.
Pictures of the existing fence and lot were shown to the Board.

The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of August 25. 1970 Page
Mrs. William Zaier, 6550 Central Avenue, adjacent property owner, stated she
was not opposed to the fence as long as it does not disturb the natural drainage
or air circulation. She did want to know if the Wilsons had to get a survey
of their lot before they put in the retaining wall.
Mr. Bagstad said a survey was not required.
Mr. Wilson added the original stakes were found and they will make sure the
entire retaining wall and fence are on their property.
Mr. Thomas Moore, 6550 Central Avenue, adjacent property owner, stated he has
constructed a retaining wall between his property and Mr. Wilson's property and
it has worked very well. The retaining wall does not detract from the property
and it has served both of them equally well,
Mr. Origans asked how steep the bank was at its highest point.
Mrs. Filson answered that she was told by someone in City Ball that the highest
point was 7 feet.
MOTION by Sondheimer to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Ahonen. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION by O'Bannon to recommend to the City Council approval of the request
to increase the fence height from 4 feet to 5 feet 4 inches for the following
reas ons ;
1. There is a hardship due to the terrain of the land and the retaining wall
is to prevent the land from eroding and ruining his lawn.
2. 'There were no objections from surrounding property owners.
Seconded from Sondheimer. Upon a voice vote, there"being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Myron Ostlund was present to present the request. A photo 6f the lot and
a sketch of the lot showing the existing house and proposed addition were shown
to the Board.
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of August 25, 1970 Page 4
Mr. Ostlund explained he is adjacent to the back side of the Rice Creek School
yard and situated on.the dead end of 66th Avenue which has no cul de sac.
Mr. Bagstad stated -the reason for the variance is the average front yard setback
between the house on the West and the eventuality of a minimal setback on the
lot to the East (now owned by the School) is 47.21 and the variance now pr--lcludes
any question of legality in the future.
Mr. Ostlund stated he would be adding 1O.feet onto the front of the, present
garage, 8 feet onto the East side of the house and garage, and 8 feet onto the
back of the garage to expand the single car garage into a double garage and
add a family room. The house will have a T-shape after the additions are
added. A -plan -of the' -house was shown to the Board. -
There is a 2.75 foot wide strip of land between Mr. Oslund's property and the
School property that is owned by the State of Minnesota and is legally described
as Lot 21, Revised Auditor's Subdivision No. 10.
Mr. Oslund said he had talked to his neighbors but they had no objections to the
request.
MOTION by Drigans to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Ahonen. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried
---unanimously.
MOTION by Drigans to recommend to the City Council approval of the requests for
the following reasons:
1. Mr. Ostlund's home is virtually the last on 66th Avenue and is adjacent
to School property so there should be no other -homes built next to him that
the additions would interfere with.
2. There were no objections from any of the surrounding property owners.
3. Mr. Ostlund has presented adequate plans for the additions..
Seconded by Sondheimer. Upon'a voice -vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
4. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 45.053, 4B', SUBPARAGRAPH 3 FRIDLEY CITY
CODE TO REDUCE THE SIDE YARD SETBACK REQUIREMENT FOR AN ATTACHED GARAGE

SUSSEL COMPANY_ 1850 COMO AVENUE. ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA.)
Mr. Roger Ompvedt, representing Sussel Company, was present to present the
request. Mr. Ompvedt explained the request should read from 5 feet to 4.2 feet
instead of 4 feet 2 inches.
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of August 25, 1970 Page_5
A survey and picture of the lot were shown to the Board.
Mr. Ompvedt stated the variance is only on the front (Southeast) corner of the
garage. The back of the garage is 5.3 feet from the line. There will be 15
feet between structures.
MOTION by O'Bannon to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Drigans. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
MOTION by Ahonen to recommmend.to the City Council approval of*the variance
from 5 feet to 4.2 feet for the following reasons:
1. The actual variance is only 92 inches on the forward portion of the
structure.
2. It is in keeping with the neighborhood.
3. There were no objections from the surrounding property owners.
Seconded by Drigans. Upon a voice vote, there being -no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
5. A REQUEST FOR A VARIANCE OF SECTION 45.074, 1, FRIDLEY CITY CODE, TO INCREASE
THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT BLQUIREMENT FOR A "HIGH RISE" APARTMENT FROM 6 STORIES TO
15 STORIES TO PERMIT THE CONSTRUCTION OF A'104 UNIT "HIGH RISE" APARTMENT TO
BE LOCATED ON LOTS 3 AND 4, BLOCK 2, HAYES RIVER LOTS ADDITION, THE SAME BEING
5950 ANNA STREET N.E., FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY N.C.R. CORP., 1811
UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55418.)
Mr. Emil Novak, representing N.C.R. Corporation, presented the request. Mr.
Novak stated he has been working with the property owner, Mr. Harold Panuska,
and had also talked with the City Engineer and the Fire Chiefs to make sure
that the building will comply with all the City Codes. He said what they want
to do is to build something unique which will have a greater amount of green
area. They hope to give the tenants a view and a prestige symbol, and to also
give the City a prestige symbol.
Chairman Minish read a letter from the Fire Prevention Chief which stated
"High Rise" buildings do not appreciably add'to the problems of the Fire
Department. -- Use of combustibles is very severely restricted. --Additional
fire fighting appliances are necessary so the additional height of the structure
is of relatively small significance." The City Council has approved the
ordering of additional fire fighting equipment.
Chairman Minish stated there had been some questions on whether our Fire
Department had the equipment with which to handle a fire in any of the upper
stories of this building, and he felt this letter answered those questions.
Mr. Novak stated this building will have fire fighting equipment on each
floor z o the Fire Department would fight any upper story fires from the
inside of the building.
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of August 25, 1970 Page 6
Mr. Albert Hoffineyer, architect, stated this building is a Type I building
which has the longest life span of any building as the structural framework
is constructed of steel or iron with masonry.
Mr. Novak showed the Board two very preliminary drawings; one of the typical
floor plan and one of the site plan. The building will consist of 104 units
made up of 56 two bedroom apartments, 40 ore bedroom apartments and 8 three
bedroom apartments. The apartments will rent from approximately $200 to $400,
the lower rents being for the bottom apartments.
Mr. Drigans asked when construction would begin if the building were approved.
Mr. Hoffineyer answered in the spring of 1971 and ready for occupancy approximately
18 months later:
Mr. Novak added they don't think a high rise is conducive to a large number of
children so there should not be any problems with the schools.
Mr. Clifford Bakko, apartment owner, stated his main concern was the traffic
patterns as there is a problem in this area at the present time and he wants
to make sure something is going to be done to correct it.
Mr. Novak stated he had been discussing this with the City Engineer and was
informed that the construction to correct this problem will hopefully be
completed by the middle of 1972.
Mr. O'Bannon asked if there were any reports on how this type of building
would hold up during a tornado.
Mr. Hoffineyer related a situation that happened in one of the Southern states
where there had been a tornado and this type of building was almost totally
undamaged and all other buildings in the same area fell.
MOTION by Sondheimer to close the public hearing.
Seconded by Ahonen. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unaniinously.
MOTION by Drigans to recommend to the City Council approval of the request
for the following reasons:
1. The fire protection is sound.
2. The traffic situation will be solved at the same time or sooner than
the building completion date.
3. When the ordinance governing apartment heights was adopted, he didn't
think the City considered that anything higher than 6 stories would ever
be built in Fridley.
The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of August 25, 1970 Page 7__
4. The building is a Type I building which is constructed with the highest
standards.
5. It blends into the area as there are apartments on surrounding properties.
6. It is something special for our community.
Seconded by Ahonen. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.

I. PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT, INNSBRUCK NORTH, P.S. #70-03, BY VIEWCON, INC'
That portion of the A of the Sia of Section 24.
2. REZONING REQUEST: 20A #70-05, BY VIEWCON, INC.: For that portion of
the E� of the SE14 of Section 24 to be rezoned from R-1 to R-3
(general multiple family dwellings) or R -3A (apartments only)
The City Engineer said that the Planning Commission has discussed the requests
by VieWcon over the last 2 or 3 meetings, but in this meeting they did not
take formal action and passed it on to the Council without a recommendation.
The rezoning is in the area called Innsbruck North and the total acreage is
about 132 acres. The plat is divided up into residential lots along with some
large outlots, and he showed it on the screen. The public hearing has
already been set for September 14th. They plan to plat into 120 single
family dwellings, mainly on the west side. On the north side there is some
park property. They also have some interest in the property to the east in
Now Brighton, The proposed road,.as shown on the plat would connect to
Salver Lake Road.
Councilman Liebl said that he had heard comments from the people adjacent to
this project indicating they are in favor of it. He said that at this point
he would be in favor of the project, as it takes into consideration the
pvoperty owners in the area. They have indicated that they wanted a suitable
buffer and this has been provided. He said homes were needed in this area,
Mayor Kirkham said that he was agreeable to holding the public hearing. The
City Engineer said that there was no formal action necessary as the public
hearing has already been set.
Councilman Breider asked about the question raised by the Planning Commission
regarding the assessments. The City Engineer explained that the developers
Wondered whether it would be possible to have some of the unbuildable lots
not assessed and the remaining lots would then carry the assessment. The
Finance Director said that if this is to be considered, there should be
acme bind of an agreement on paper. Councilman Breider asked whether there
Were any sidewalks proposed. The City Engineer said that there were no plans
for any sidewalks now. Councilman Breider suggested working something but so
that in 10 years or so if they are needed, they could be put in.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the Minutes of the Planning C- ission
Meeting of August 19, 1970. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried,

Councilman Liebl explained again that it was not fair for the people paying
assessments to also be taxed for the maintenance of the unimproved streets,
This money comes from the general fund.
The city Engineer said that of course it is their money, but it would be -
bad planning to delete 4th Street. At this time maybe some�of the base could
be saved, but if delayed any further the whole street would have to be torn
up, The assessment for this street would not go on until 1972, and would be
spread over 10 years. He explained again that by grouping the streets in the
same general area, it keeps the costs down. He agreed that maybe the
alleys could be deleted. The improvement was suggested to try to clean
up the City. The lady said that they did not want 54th deleted as that
street is very bad. Mr. O'Bannon said that:the alley between 4th and 5th
would only serve the apartment house.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to delete from the 1971 construction project the
improvement of the alley between 4th Street and 5th Street from 54th Avenue to
I. 694 Outer Drive and the alley between 4th Street and University Avenue from
53rd Avenge to 54th Avenue and 4th Street from 53th Avenue to I. 694 Outer
Drive. The improvement to be delayed until 1973 and be on the tax rolls
in 1974,
Councilman Sheridan felt that if this street was taken out, the improvement
of the area would not be feasible. Councilman Liebl said that they would still
have to do 54th Avenue. Councilman Sheridan said that he felt that every-
thing should be deleted from this quadrant, or else leave everything in. He
said that he would agree with Councilman Liebl on the deletion of the improve-
ment of the two alleys, and would go along with Councilman Liebl, but only
for a two year period.
A member of the audience said that 4th Street has just been patched and is
in quite good shape now. Councilman Sheridan asked how long the street has
lasted, The City Engineer said that it was never a standard street, but was
a PE mix, then seal coated.
THE MOTION SECONDED by Councilman Sheridan.
Councilman Breider said that at the public hearing meeting there were com-
plaints about the snow plow not plowing the alleys. He said that he wanted
to eke clear that if these alleys are deleted, they would not be plowed
or maintained as the City does not maintain unimproved alleys. The com-
plaint was that garbage was not being picked up. Mr. O'Bannon said that
these apartments are the poorest kept in the City of Fridley. Mayor Kirkham
asked that when he sees a condition existing, to please call it in so
something could be done about it. Mr. O'Bannon said that he would call the
Building'Inspection Department next time, A member of the audience said that
she has called on complaints on the garbage six times and she has seen rate -
gunning from the cans. Councilman Liebl said that when a complaint is
reoei,vsd, action is taken and these apartments have been tagged.
c9 ncilman Sheridan asked for a call for the question, with the comment that
these diplettons would hurt the improvement program.
