NEW BUSINESS: 7. Receive and Reject Bids for the Springbrook Nature Center Improvement Project. Jack Kirk, Director of Parks and Recreation, stated that on Tuesday, May 5, 2015, bids were opened for the Springbrook Nature Center improvements project. There were 14 bid categories and bids were received in 12 of the 14 categories. In addition to two of the bid categories not receiving any bids, there were 4 of the categories that had a single bidder. The overall budget of $5.46M for this phase of the Springbrook Nature Center Improvements project included costs for construction and furnishing the facility, as well as costs of the professional services such as the design work and the construction management. Funding for this project is being provided by a $SM State of Minnesota bonding bill grant, with the balance to be paid for by the Springbrook Nature Center Foundation through a local fundraising campaign. The estimated costs in our project budget for the construction in these 14 bid categories were $3,639,663. The low bids on the 12 bid categories received were $1.6M over the estimate or 44% over our estimate for the project. We did not receive bids in the fire protection and electrical categories. Mr. Kirk noted they have attempted to determine why there was a lack of bids for the project and why some of the bids received came in so high over our project budget estimate. Some of the feedback received by our Construction Manager poc Smith and by staff was that it may have been the wrong time to bid the project(possibly too late in the spring), and the contractors are very busy and did not have the time to bid or to take on the work. While we knew that the bid opening date in May was later than ideal, we were making efforts to get the project underway as soon as possible. Due to a lack of bids received and the very high bid amounts in three major project categories, the recommendation is to reject the bids, make some design modifications, and rebid the project in August for a September start of construction. 3 FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 26, 2015 PAGE 4 Councilmember Bolkcom asked what design modifications would be made. Mr. Kirk replied they have met several times to look at ways to bring costs down. The original design that was created four years ago was for 5,000 sq. ft. and this added another 8,000 sq. ft. for a total project of 13,000 sq. ft. Based on bids, the size of the project needs to be reduced to � bring it more in line as to what was planned. Reducing the project can have a solid exhibit and education space. There would be 4 instead of 5 education spaces. These changes will make a difference, and we will still have a great educational center. Councilmember Bolkcom asked if this would take away from the facility for other functions besides educational. Mr. Kirk replied they will still have a facility for retreats, receptions and larger educational functions. The gathering space would be reduced. It was 250 and may be reduced to 200. The average reception for a wedding is 170 to 190 people so this area will still be able to accommodate that request. Mayor Lund asked if the green roof technology would go away and asked if anything else would be reduced. He added it seemed to be a tight timeline. Mr. Kirk said he did not think the design would change. Only one bidder bid on the roof, and they threw a large number out there and did not look at all the details. There are a few types of geothermo systems to look at and they plan to look at a more traditional geothermal which will bring the cost down. Modifications can be done so we do not need to do an entire redesign. Mayor Lund said he would prefer not to downsize. Maybe they should look at other elements. Doc Smith noted that about 40% of the contractors have been lost since four years ago. The . economy is turning around and work is picking up, so there are less contractors to bid on the project. They are looking at the City's best interest and felt it was important to step back and review the wants and needs for this project. Since last week, by making simple changes like the type of windows,they are closer to the original budget. In the end we will have a better building. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to receive and reject the bids for the Springbrook Nature Center Improvement Project. Seconded by Councilmember Saeflce.

Seconded by Commissioner Ostwald. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIItPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE - MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a S�ecial Use Permit, SP #15-05, by Advantage LED, for Grace Evangelical Free Church, to allow an electronic message center sign, generally located at 755 73rd Avenue 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 THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:01 P.M. Julie Jones, Planning Manager, stated they do not have a representative from the sign company here tonight; but they do have someone here from the church if they have questions. This request from the petitioner, representing Grace Evangelical Free Church, is for a special use permit to allow an electronic message center sign to be incorporated into a new freestanding sign on the church property located at 755 - 73rd Avenue NE. Ms. Jones stated the church plans to remove their existing sign and construct a new monument sign that will have 50 square feet of signage of which 29 square feet will be the electronic message center portion of the sign. Ms.Jones stated the church will have its address as well as its website down at the bottom. Ms. Jones stated the property where the church is located is zoned R-1, single-family. It was actually part of that whole Melody Manor park area as was Unity Hospital. Single-fami{y homes border the property to the north and the east and Madsen Park borders the property to the west. 6 Planning Commission Meeting May 20, 2015 Page 2 of 10 Ms. Jones stated the church was originally constructed in 1963. It fortunately survived the tornadoes of 1965. Additions were constructed to the church in 1977, 1984, and again in 2000. A sign permit was issued.in 1970 for a freestanding sign which was never constructed immediately after the permit was issued. Ms. Jones stated at some point after 1970, however, a sign was installed; but it was located in the public right-of-way, That was discovered in 1992 when the church wanted to construct a new sign, and that sign was a problem because it was in the public right-of-way. So the City had them apply for a variance. That variance was to reduce the setback of a sign from the property line from l 0 feet to zero. It was stipulated in that variance that, at which time the sign is modified in any way, the variance would become null and . void and any new sign would need to camply with Code requirements. Ms. Jones stated institutions are allowed one 80-square foot freestanding sign according to the terms of the City Code, provided that the sign is placed a minimum of 50 feet from any neighboring residentially- zoned property. That is not including of course the residentialiy-zoned property that the institution is located on, and the illuminated sign face is perpendicular to an adjacent roadway. Also,the sign does not create glare that will impact adjacent residential property. Ms. Jones stated since the staff report in the Commission packet was written, staff has met with the church to discuss the sign location that would be visible but would not require a variance. Bot� the church and the staff have agreed that the southwest corner of their property would be the best location. This location is approximately 290 feet from the closest residential property which is located directly to the east of Jackson Street. Ms. Jones stated the property is accessed through a one-way loop where the vehicles enter the west side entrance of the site and exit on the east side driveway. As a result the vision safety triangle is not a concern in this location that they have worked out for the sign location. Ms. Jones stated the petitioner is requesting a special use permit to allow the electronic message center as part of this new freestanding sign. The electronic changeable signs are an approved special use for institutions provided the electronic message center does not change more often than once every 45 seconds. The sign also needs to be in conformance with other sign Code requirements which it does. Ms. Jones stated staff has received one phone call from a neighboring property owner stating they were opposed to the request for the electronic sign because they felt the church already had good visibility on that roadway so they did not see why their sign needed to be modified. Of course we have many churches in the community that have high visibility that do have electronic signs. St. Philips Church would be an example and St. Williams now has one. Woodcrest Baptist just had their request approved and is in the process of installing theirs. Ms. Jones stated City staff recommends approval of the special use permit because electronic changeable signs are an approved special use in a residential district provided all requirements far institutional signage can be met subject to stipulations. Ms.Jones stated staff is proposing the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall obtain a sign permit and a current sign erector license prior to installing any signage on the site. 7 Planning Commission Meeting May 20, 2015 Page 3 of 10 2. A new site plan showing the southern property line shall be submitted with sign permit application assuring that the new sign meets the required 10-foot setback from the property lines. 3. Prior to sign installation the petitioner- shall have the southern property line marked to verify sign location meets the setback requirements. 4. The message on the electronic sign message center shall not change more often than authorized under Section 2]4.07 ofthe Fridley City Code. 5. The message on the electronic sign message center shall never flash or have motion that may district vehicular traffic in the area. Ms.Jones stated this item is set to go before City Council on June 8. Chairperson Kondrick stated this seems pretty clear cut and understandable. They have had this issue before. Roland Peterson, Grace Evangelical Free Church, stated he is the chair of the board of elders for the church. They probably have a preriy ugly sign that currently exists and it does not really function anymore. Last winter somehow a hole was knocked in the side of it so it made it look even worse. They are surprised at the amount of traffic that goes by on 73rd, but they do have a food distribution and a lot of inessages that would be helpful for them if they could upgrade that sign. They have had to make letters now to put on there when they do not have them. It just seems like a project they needed to do. Chairperson Kondrick asked Mr. Peterson if he had a chance to look at the stipulations that are required of the church and what the City expects the church to do and perform? Mr.Peterson replied,yes,they have; and they met yesterday with Scott Hickok and Stacy Stromberg and . they really decided to change the location at that point. It is going to be on the west side of the entrance driveway. Mr. Hickok lined up and said how far they need to be from the park and then how far from the street, and they can fit that all in there very nicely. He does not think they need a variance and they can go ahead with the project. To stay within the requirements was going to put the sign on top of the parking lot, and that was probably kind of a dangerous place to put an expensive $38,000 sign. This is going to be a much better situation for everyone. Chairperson Kondrick asked but they have no problems with the stipulations other than the location that were submitted to them this evening? Mr.Peterson replied, right. They know what they need to do to make sure they follow all the procedures and they have that clear. MOTION by Commissioner Saba to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Sielaff. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:11 P.M. Chairperson Kondrick stated he had no problem with this. It is pretty much clear cut and dry. MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff approving Special Use Permit SP #15-OS by Advantage LED for 8 Planning Commission Meeting May 20, 2015 Page 4 of 10 Grace Evangelical Free Church to Allow an Electronic Message Center Sign, generally located at 755 - 73rd Avenue NE with the following stipulations: 1. The petitioner shall obtain a sign permit and a current sign erector license prior to installing any signage on the site. 2. A new site plan showing the southern property line shall be submitted with sign permit application assuring that the new sign meets the required 10-foot setback from the property lines. 3, Prior to sign installation the petitioner shall have the southern property line marked to verify sign location meets the setback requirements. 4. The message on the electronic sign message center shall not change more often than authorized under Section 214.07 of the Fridley City Code. 5. The message on the electronic sign message center shall never flash or have motion that may district vehicular traffic in the area. Seconded by Commissioner Saba. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK CLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 2. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a Text Amendment,TA#15-02, by the City of Fridley,for a TOD Zoning Overlay Text Amendment; Public hearing to consider amending the text of the Northstar Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Zoning Overlay District to incorporate reference to the recently adopted Northstar TOD Master Plan and to allow freestanding, changeable,electronic signs. MOTION by Commissioner Saba to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Ostwald. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:13 P.M. Ms. Jones stated the purpose of the text amendment is to recognize the Northstar TOD Master Plan, adopted by the City Council last December 8, in code by incorporating the design criteria of that master plan into the City Code. That would be including design specifications for lighting, benches, waste receptacles, bike racks, planters, etc. Since they are opening this text amendment up and looking at an update, the staff would like to consider changing the electronic sign prohibition in this section of Code. That is coming up because the City has had a reyuest from a business owner in the TOD area. Actually before the City adopted the text amendment they were looking at changing their sign, and that is SuperAmerica gas station at the corner of 57th and University. They are in the TOD overlay zoning district as well. As most gas stations they want to put in an electronic gas pricing sign. They did not get it done before the City created the TOD Zoning District. Ms. Jones stated the City has two properties on 57th Avenue, the CVS Pharmacy and the Holiday Gas Station,that have electronic freestanding signs, so SA assumed they would be able to do the same thing. 9 Planning Commission Meeting May 20, 2015 Page 5 of 10 Ms. Jones explained how a recent addition to the Parsons Electric business on Main Street caused staff to realize they could better define the term "redevelopmenY' in the Code. Ms. Jones also explained the need to change the Farmers Market reference, because since the TOD Overlay District was created, the City now has special language about Farmers Market in the Zoning Code that covers multiple zoning districts, not just this one where it is now allowed. That change made the language in the TOD code antiquated. Ms. Jones explained why staff had decided to prohibit electronic signs of any kind in the TOD District, which is typical in TOD zoning districts across the country. The Holiday Gas Station and CVS already had electronic signs, she explained before the TOD district was created, and SuperAmerica is one of the locations that has requested one. The City has had other business requests as well. Ms. Jones stated the reason why that prohibition was put in.place and why that is typical in TOD areas is if you have a pedestrian-oriented development electronic signs that are close to the street frontage, where you have people walking, are illegible to the people who are walking by. Those types of signs have to be viewed from some distance away and are really designed for vehicle traffic. If you want to make things pedestrian-friendly,you want signs that are legible to pedestrians using the area. Ms. Jones stated that Fridley's TOD District, however, is unique in that there are major roadways going through this district. Fridley not only has the freeway on the southern border, but it has East River Road and University Avenue. In higher speed traffic roadways like that, you typically do see electronic signs if you go through the metro. So, staff feels comfortable with allowing electronic and freestanding type signs that are designed to typically be viewed from far away, Ms. Jones stated staff would still like to keep that pedestrian feel, however. Some TOD Districts across the country and a lot in the Twin Cities are prohibiting freestanding pylon-type signs altogether. Fridley has so many free standing signs in place in its district now. Unlike Big Lake, which is starting over and creating something in a farm field with their Northstar planning area, Fridley has a fully-developed area it is planning for redevelopment. Therefore, staff did not feel it was really right in Fridley's district to prohibit those types of signs entirely. Staff feels it would be okay to have electronic signs as freestanding signs, but are still are opposed to the idea of allowing that for wall signage on buildings, which the City has had requests for in the TOD area. Ms. Jones stated as far as the design features that are in the Northstar TOD master plan, the purpose of � those is to have a uniform look in that pedestrian-scaled design area. The staff would like to incorporate that design criteria for those certain features that would be within that area, particularly in public spaces. Private developers will be required to meet these criteria. The City wants them to be able to view this on- line with the rest of the Code and not have to contact the City to obtain the pictures, because developers need this information early in their planning to be able to calculate their costs of redevelopment. Ms. Jones stated staff recommends approval of Text Amendment #15-02 as it will better clarify and display design criteria within the Code rather than require developers to look at a separate plan document. Staff also feels this text amendment clarifies some other Code conflicts the City has in its Code. This text amendment is set to go before the City Council on June 8. 10 Planning Commission Meeting May 20, 2015 Page 6 of 10 Chairperson Kondrick asked Ms. Jones whether staff feels it necessary to have all those people have the same design for signs? Never mind their name, but the same size, the same style of sign. Has that been given consideration? Ms. Jones replied, no, staff has not. That is a very good question. She wishes it would have come up actually when they were dealing with the design criteria with the master plan. They did talk a little bit internally among staff about some sign issues, but they were thinking of it more in terms of over by Islands of Peace Park and dealing with the public park areas where the City desires a uniform look. She recalls reviewing designs for information kiosks, but they did not discuss a uniform look for signs. Chairperson Kondrick stated that could be an important thing to talk about. Some folks could take an 80 square foot sign and change it around in a lot of ways and still get a message across. He felt consideration should be given to a uniform sign size,height, and material for projects in the TOD District. Ms.Jones replied,that a uniform color could be selected also. Commissioner Saba stated that was a real good question Chairperson Kondrick asked. Chairperson Kondrick stated he read the proposed amendment thoroughly and has no problems with it as written. He only has the suggestion of the sign detail to add. However, he has no problems. This is great. Commissioner Heintz stated there are a lot of different ideas here. How about fencing? Ms. Jones replied, that there are fence examples in the criteria. Staff did not pick out a one specific design, but they gave examples in the master plan of some types of fencing they would like to see. She recalled that there were metal and stone features suggested. MOTION by Commissioner Saba to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Ostwald. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:26 P.M. MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff approving Text Amendment, TA#15-02, by the City of Fridley for a TOD Zoning Overlay Text Amendment, amending the text of the Northstar Transit Oriented Development (TOD) Zoning Overlay District to incorporate reference to the recently adopted Northstar TOD Master Plan and to allow freestanding, changeable, electronic signs. Seconded by Commissioner Saba. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. PUBLIC HEARING 3. Public hearing to consider an amendment to Fridley's 2030 Comprehensive Plan, CP #15- O1,to include reference to the Northstar TOD Master Plan and Active Transportation Plan. MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Heintz. 11 Planning Commission Meeting May 20, 2015 Page 7 of 10 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLAREp THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:27 P.M. Ms. Jones stated that staff debated whether to go ahead on this comprehensive plan amendment, because we will be working on the next update next year already, but since it will be three years before the 2040 Plan is done, they thought they should go ahead and make the adjustment now as it is such an important part of the Comprehensive Plan. This is the City's first comprehensive plan amendment of 2015. In the agenda is states,text amendment, but it really is a comprehensive plan amendment. Ms. Jones stated there are two main reasons why staff is reyuesting the amendment. One, is to recognize the Northstar TOD TIF Master Plan that the City Council adopted last December. The other reason is to recognize the Active Transportation Plan, which the City adopted in 2013. The reason why staff wants to recognize these in the 2030 Fridley Comprehensive Plan is they are documents that have been approved by the City Council and are very important in the plans for the City. The TOD area covers a big part of the City, which could result in much change in the City. Ms. Jones stated it was in 2009 when they finalized the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. At that time, the Northstar Train Station was just being built. Actually the bulk of the writing was done in 2007, so at that time, the City did not know for sure if it was getting a train station. Understandably, when staff went to incorporate the Master Plan for the Northstar TOD area in this document there was a lot of text staff had to update, because they had to change all the language about the parts relating to the Northstar train station. Ms. Jones stated the reason why it is so critical for the City to recognize the Master Plan in its Comprehensive Plan is a lot of grant programs will require that if you are applying for funding for a project. The City did not want to lose out on any funding opportunities by not having these plans mentioned in the current Comprehensive Plan. Ms.Jones stated the same goes for the Active Transportation Plan. The Active Transportation Plan has a key map, which they see in the proposed comprehensive plan amendment language, which requires any development happening on those particular roadways to include trails and sidewalks in their development, and the developer paying for that most of the time. Staff wants to make sure that developers have that information available when viewing City documents on-line and researching the potential on the City's website. Ms. Jones stated that in order for the City to qualify for grant funds for either putting in new sidewalks and trails or obtaining funding for anything going on in the City's transit tax increment financing district in the future, it would likely have to be recognized in the City's Comprehensive Plan. She recognized that it may be difficult to read the proposed amendment language because there a lot of cross-outs and underlining that is difficult to follow. Staff debated about giving the Commission a clean copy. They were not quite sure if that would confuse the Commission more. Hopefully everyone can make sense of the language, but she certainly is happy to answer any questions. Ms. Jones stated staff recommends making the proposed changes on pages 37-41 of Chapter 4 which is the City's Economic and Redevelopment Plan chapter of the Comprehensive Plan and pages 75 through 92 of Chapter 6, which is the Transportation chapter of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Staff could have gone more extensive than that, but those were the key parts they felt they had to update for the rest of this 12 Planning Commission Meeting May 20, 2015 Page8of10 reference for these two chapters to make sense. Chairperson Kondrick stated he read the entire package. He had to read it a couple of times. It is a complicated kind of a deal. You had to put the puzzle together as you went along. He asked whether anybody else had.a chance to read this and follow it to the best of their ability. C6airperson Sielaff replied,to the best of his ability. Chairperson Kondrick stated everything he read made sense to him, and he understands it. He could not find any fault in it. Everything seemed logical and reafistic and well thought out. It looks like City staff has had this a long time, and a lot of thought went into it. He does not have a problem with it. He asked if any of the Commission members had any questions. Commissioner Sielaff asked regarding the process, this is a Comprehensive Plan that has to be approved by the Metropolitan Council, correct? Ms. Jones replied, yes. Besides going o the City Council next for approval then, even before they go to the Metropolitan Council to request an amendment to the City's Comprehensive Plan, staff has to notify all of the City's surrounding jurisdictions about this change. Those notices went out last week or the week before. The City has to give the surrounding jurisdictions 60 days to comment before they can submit the request to the Metropolitan Council for approval, so after the anticipated June 8 City Council review and approval, staff will need to wait to submit the amendment for a few weeks yet. Chairperson Kondrick stated staff does not anticipate any problems. Ms.Jones replied, no, so far everybody that has responded has had no comments. Ms. Jones stated the 60-day review will be over in mid-July. It will be in July before staff can send the amendment off to the Metropolitan Council for approval. Before it is official, then it comes back to the City Council for final approval. MOTION by Commissioner Saba to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner,Sielaff.

Chairperson Kondrick asked what is happening with Columbia Arena? Ms. Jones replied, the primary concentration on the Columbia Arena site at this time is working on the demolition. The latest she heard is that is going to be likely into late August before the demolition will happen. That is of concern to the City as vandalism continues to be a problem there. Chairperson Sielaff stated they have had all the public meetings. Is there a timeline for a decision to be made? Ms. Jones replied, the outcome of the public meetings they had are posted on the City website. Obviously, those are recommendations to the City Council. The City Council will still need to make decisions on those recommendations. She believes they are studying potential sites if the City were to rebuild city offices as that was one of the recommendations for the Columbia Arena site. People felt that was a good, highly-visible location that could be combined with some other public amenities like for a farmers market or '49ers Day event or something like that. There are a lot of options still be considered on that, however. Chairperson Kondrick stated he was talking with the Mayor last week and there were a lot of input and opinions to share from the public. There was a lot of thought, which is really good and helps everybody concerned. ADJOURN: MOTION by Commissioner Saba to adjourn the meeting. Seconded by Commissioner Sielaff.

EMCs communicate variable messages as people pass by, allowing greater flexibility in communicating to the public. With their automated dimming and focusing systems, EMCs can respond to the visibility needs of the public, increasing safety and conspicuity day and night. The flexibility offered by EMCs means your organization can advertise specials while also displaying public service information or other items of public interest. These signs can quickly "brand" your site in the Iocal community.The sign owner can change the message as needed to provide information to specific traffickers, and can be used for political, sociat or community events. Software is available that enables a sign owner to display sophisticated logos or images on the EMC precisely as planned. An electronic or variable message center offers a unique way to capture the attention of�these passers-by.

Wysopal, City Manager� From: Scott Hickok,Community Development Director Julie Jones, Planning Manager Stacy Stromberg, Planner Kay Qualley, Environmental Planner Subject: Northstar TOD Zoning Overlay District Text Amendment TA#OS-02 Background Last December,the City Council approved a Master Plan for a portion of the Northstar Transit Oriented Development(TOD)Zoning District. As part of that Plan, specific design criteria for lighting, benches, bike racks, waste receptacles and planters were approved. Those features need to now be incorporated into the Northstar TOD Overlay Zoning District code text. ln addition, staff has been receiving many requests for electronic changeable message signs in the TOD Zoning District from properties along 57`h Avenue, so staff has considered that request as we process this text amendment. The proposed changes are notated in the attachment. Analysis The TOD code currently prohibits electronic signs. The purpose for the prohibition was that electronic signs on buildings cannot be read by someone walking on the sidewalk next to a building and are commonly prohibited in pedestrian-oriented development for that reason—keeping design features at a pedestrian scale. Fridley has a rather unique TOD District, however,bordered by a freeway and having two highways dissect it. In addition,technology is improving for electronic signs, making them easier to read at a closer distance, As staff has considered the design impacts to Fridley's TOD area, we concluded that electronic, changeable message signs would be acceptable on free-standing signs that are designed to be viewed from passing vehicles. Staff continues to take the position that changeable, electronic wall signs would not be appropriate in the TOD area where buildings will be built within 15 feet of the property line, close to the roadway. It is legal for staff to make this distinction in the sign code, because we are regulating location, not content of the signs. The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding TA#OS-02 on May 20,2015 and approved the proposed amendment unanimously.No one appeared from the public for the hearing. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council hold a public hearing regarding this proposed text amendment, TA# 15-02, and plan to hold the first reading of the ordinance change on June 22, 2015. 53 Fridley City Code Section 205.33.11.

Mixed use projects must have a unified landscaping scheme. The landscaping requirements in this Chapter will only apply to new construction projects or projects where existing buildings are expanded to the reduced 15 foot setback. B. Plant Materials Substitutions The landscaping requirements in the underlying zoning district shall apply to properties in the TOD Overlay District with some exceptions. 1) TOD landscape plans for redevelopment of property located in the underlying Hyde Park zoning district must follow the landscape requirements for the zoning district that most closely represents the use proposed. 2) In the TOD Overlay District, one ornamental tree will count as one over-story deciduous tree. In addition, ornamental trees may exceed 50 percent of the required trees. 3) Due to the amount of hardscape needed for pedestrian walkways, if the level of open space for planting restricts the ability to provide adequate growth space for tree roots, shrub�er-}F and perennial planting beds, and permanent lanters a�-fle�ve�--�e�s may also be substituted for over-story trees at a rate of 36 square feet per tree. 4) Decorative walkway light poles meeting the T^T' a°�:R-- �--°�:�°a �� desisn specified in the Fr•idlev Northstar TOD TIF District Master Plan as shown in Appendix B may be substituted at a ratio of one light pole for two trees if the site design warrants additional walkway lighting. 5) Street-side sculptures, public art, permanent or movable �a�ge planters, '�°"":"" "^.,.°-' '�°�'�°*^, light pole ba.nners, clock towers, arbors, seating benches, or similar ornamentation may be considered as substitution to meet landscaping requirements.

Wysopal,City Man�~ From: Scott Hickok, Community Development Director Julie Jones, Planning Manager Stacy Stromberg, Planner Kay Qualley, Environmental Planner ' Subject: Resolution for Comprehensive Plan Amendment CP# 15-01,Amending Chapters 4 and 6 Background In 2013,the City Council approved an Active Transportation Plan to replace a 1977 Bicycle Plan as guidance for trail development in the City. Last December,the City Council approved a Master Plan for a portion of the Northstar Transit Oriented Development(TOD)Zoning District. Both plans significantly impact future planning in the City. Since inclusion of these plans in the City's current 2030 Comprehensive Plan could also prove critical in obtair�ing grant funds, staff has prepared a Comprehensive Plan Amendment that incorporates both plans into Fridley's 2030 Comprehensive Plan. Optimally, incorporation of these new plans would have required minor adjustments to the Economic/ Redevelopment and Transportation Chapters of the 2030 Comprehensive Plan. However, staff determined that the development of the Northstar Train Station and significant redevelopment in the TOD Zoning District since 2009 needed to also be recognized for inclusion of these new plans to fit within the Chapters into which they were being incorporated.The attached marked text has the new proposed language underlined and the language to be removed crossed out. Staff is only attaching the portion of Chapter 4 and 6, where changes are proposed. Please reference your own personal copy of the Comprehensive Plan or view it on the City web site if you want to see the entire chapter proposed to be changed. The Planning Commission held a public hearing regarding Comprehensive Plan Amendment CP#15-01 on May 20, 2015 and approved the Amendment unanimously.No one appeared for the hearing from the public. Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council review this amendment at the June 8, City Council meeting. While we have no current grant funding opportunities for multi-modal transportation improvements under consideration at this time, if one should materialize, it is unlikely staff would be able to complete a Comprehensive Plan Amendment before an application deadline. Staff wants to be prepared if funding opportunities arise that require an idea to be in the City's Comprehensive Plan, In addition, State Law requires citied to amend their comprehensive plan by resolution when a master plans is adopted. 58 RESOLUTION NO._ RESOLUTION CONSIDERING A COMPREHENSNE PLAN AMENDMENT,CP#15-01,T0 UPDATE TIiE ECONOMIC AND REDEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION CHAPTERS OF THE FRIDLEY 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WHEREAS,the Fridley Planning Commission held a public hearing on the Comprehensive Plan Amendment, CP#15-01, on May 20, 2015 and recommended approval; and WHEREAS,the City Council also conducted a public review of the Comprehensive Plan Amendment to consider the Amendment language and contents at their June 8, 2015 City Council meeting; and WHEREAS,the Metropolitan Land Planning Act(MN Statutes 473.851 —473.872)requires that local ' government units prepare and submit amendments to their land use plans to the Metropolitan Council; and WHEREAS,the City of Fridley has notified all surrounding jurisdictions and special ta�cing districts of the proposed amendment as required by MN Statutes 473.858; and WHEREAS,the City has reviewed the Comprehensive Plan changes to Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment, and Chapter 6, Transportation, shown in the attached Exhibit A; NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED,that the City Council of the City of Fridley hereby requests City staff to submit the proposed amendment, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, CP#15-01 to the Metropolitan Council for consideration. PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF FRIDLEY THIS 8`h DAY OF JiJNE, 2015. SCOTT J. LUND—MAYOR ATTEST: DEBRA SKOGEN—CITY CLERK 59 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 29 Exhibit A Chapter 4 Economic and Redevelopment Plan 4.0 Local Economy The City of Fridley is fortunate to have an abundance of employment sources right in our community. According to 2000 Census data,there were 11,542 more jobs in Fridley than the number of workers age 16 and over. It is interesting to note that,despite the strong local access to jobs,most Fridley residents work outside of Fridley.The most common place of employment for Fridley residents is not Fridley. It is other cities in Hennepin County and, secondly,Minneapolis. Only 21%of the 15,221 Fridley residents in the work force in 2000 were actually working in Fridley's borders. 1Vlost of the 26,763 people working in Fridley in 2000 were traveling to Fridley from a metro county other than Anoka or Hennepin.The second most frequent place of residence was Hennepin County,not including Minneapolis. The third most common place of residence for Fridley workers was a city in Anoka County other than Andover,Coon Rapids,or Blaine. The distance people are commuting to work certainly has an impact on the transportation demands on the community and the region.It also poses challenges to a public transportation system that is focused on getting workers to and from the central cities. The local economy is predominantly manufacturing.Education and health services are also a predominant employment source.This too poses challenges for public transportation,as these types of jobs are often second and third shift jobs.Commuter rail,designed to transport workers during rush hour would not,be able to be used by second and third shift employees. Table 4.1 represents the breakdown of the local economy by industry as of the 2000 Census. Table 4.1 Industry of Employment,City of Fridley(2000) % of Employed Industr�es Persons 16 years and Over Agriculture,forestry,and fishing,hunting,mining 0.36 Construction 6.34 Manufacturing 20.47 Wholesale trade 4.56 Retail trade 13.24 Transportarion,warehousing,utilities 4.79 Informarion 2.39 Finance,insurance,real estate,rentaUleasing 7.95 Professional,scientific,management,administrative, 9.82 waste management � Educational,health,social services 16.78 Arts,entertainment,recreation,accommodation,food 5.75 services Other services 4.25 Public administration 3.31 Source:2000 Census Much has changed in the job market in Fridley since the 2000 census,however.Fridley has seen a decline in the number of jobs from 26,763 in 2000 to 23,845 in 2006.Fridley has lost more than 3,000 jobs in the past five years alone.Most of the decline has been in the area of manufacturing.Many manufacturing 60 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 30 Exhibit A businesses have been automating,which has reduced the number of workers they need for the same amount of production. Retail and service sector job numbers have also recently declined. Fridley's unemployment rate is currently 5.1%(June 2007),according to the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development.This is twice the percentage of unemployment that existed in the community at the rime of the last comprehensive plan update in 2000. It is also slightly higher than the State's unemployment figure currently of 4.5%. Existing Emp/oyers Major employers within the City of Fridley include Medtronic,BAE Systems,C�mmins Power,and Unity Medical Center. Other than Unity Medical Center,the major industries include manufacturing and research and design.The following table represents other major employers in Fridley: Table 4.2 Major Employers in Fridley(2006) Ma'or Em lo ers SIC Products/Services Em lo ees edtronic Inc 3845 avig.,Meas.,Electromedical& 3,076 ontrol Instrum.Mf . nan Corp/Cummins 3519 �ufacture Generators&Diesel 1 700 ower Generation n ' es ' nity Medical Center 8062 ��al Medical& Surgical 1,570 os itals AE Systems 3489 esign,Develop&Product Test 1,412 a'or Gun S stems esign&Manufacture of Sensing inco Products Inc 3625 � ��,e Devices 748 ar et Distriburion Center arehouse for Retail 512 ar et Su erstores 5311 artment Stores 330 ontract Manufacturing Parts for urt Mfg Co 3469 286 ther Com anies al-Mart 5311 e artment Stores 230 ofthouse Bakeries 5461 etail Bakeries 215 ark Construction Co 1611 i wa & Street Construction 175 enard Cashway Lumber 5211 ome Improvement Service and 150 etail Stores ome Depot 5531 °me Improvement Service and 146 etail Stores ub Foods 5399 rocery and General Merchandise 101 Stores lectrical Contractor for arsons Electric Co 1731 oxnmercial,Industrial,and 100 stitutional Healthcare Source:Survey completed by Fridley Planning Staff February 2007 While Medtronic Corporation experienced significant job growth of about 500 jobs since 1997,many major Fridley employers had significant reductions.The number of jobs at BAE Systexns(formally United Defense)declined by nearly 400.Other businesses, like Kurt Manufacturing and McGlynn's(now Lofthouse Bakery)also reduced staff.Yet,some locations,like Unity Medical Center,gained nearly 200 jobs,as did Minco Products. 61 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 31 Exhibit A Building Permit Activity The number of building permits issued in Fridley each year over the past six years has consistently been between 700 and 1,000 permits. Residential building permit activity � ` . _ , �js: remains fairly consistent. However, large �, ^,�,� , ,3. fluctuations in overall building permit dollar , ' ��' - --� values occur in Fridley due to the significant �� ' 's:} ��k ;: ,�;�� influence of industrial building activities. In ''' ' � �� i� � �� : �' ra z 2000,the number of permits and pennit ��'. � �:.�r_ s �s values were abnormally high with 982 ' ,.

Fridley was a$1.5 million net contributor to the fiscal disparities pool in 2007. Fiscal disparity is a law that was established as a means to allow local governments to share in the resources generated by regional growth and to increase the likelihood of orderly urban growth.The following figures represent 2007 tax base compositions for the City of Fridley compared to the Metropolitan Area. 62 .. - � . . • -.- - .. _.- . � : . i � i � � ' . � II 7 Fridley Tax Base Composition{% of#otai market value) ■Other ■ Commercial ; 2% Industriai�` 28% � � �,# , , q,��4'� �;�.,��-�� .�;- �sidential � ,��,�� ,�� p �� ` � stead �+� �-�g g�aTt.�+� 4'*�.,n� ^-S F 3:g �,4{� ��/!��4 � ?��+tesident�l � � � �'58% � -Non Homestead 12% � Metro�4rea Tax Base Composition(%of total market value) ? � � &Commercial flther industrial �% 16% � . . . . ��:t3k.t�" I .... � � . . -Residentiat'Nbt1 Homestea�d` ' s�s � � �'� '�{',�'�. �iny�RE �.t.� '��S��` �' rrtr � 3 -�, i F �$ey'�.� � �..'� . � .� �� ,,�te�dential :�lf�k -� �'�.� r� m-n�3t��r A-� >��-p,§r a , -g�r, . �al:M r t- � +� ,�z,>-��'� * .�"�r�+''��1R1LStCdfl t �'' ��*^ �f:�y' 2 � � ��s s 'y .r t� �.�p� ='"qr '-`' �`�P t_aY�7f0 . ,._ ' . .

Fmc:{M3)571•1?8) -.-- 64 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 34 Exhibit A 4.2 Potential Redevelopment Areas A map of potential redevelopment areas has been developed based upon community input at the neighborhood planning meetings and staff recommendations.Redevelopment is a form of community revitalization that transforms undesirable elements of a site into desirable elements that reflect the community's collective plan. Redevelopment of the areas listed later in this chapter is desired to accomplish one or more of the following: ➢ Remove older,blighted or outdated buildings ➢ Provide the opportunity for more efficient land uses ➢ Provide an opportunity to correct environmental problems ➢ Provide an opportunity to build new commercial,industrial,or residential facilities to meet the current market demand of the community ➢ Create additional job opportunities ➢ Strengthen the tax base ➢ Eliminate incompatible land uses ➢ Create opportunities for new streetscape improvements, such as lighting,decorative fencing,or landscaping ➢ Updates old utilities with new facilities and allows for the burying of above ground utility lines Through redevelopment planning,the City has the opportunity to shape the future and accomplish the needs of the greater community. Because the City has limited resources,it must focus its efforts on projects that best meet the City's needs. It is not intended that all the properties highlighted on the map in Figure 4.2 be acquired by the City for redevelopment. Rather,the intent of this plan is to identify these areas as focus areas for the City and HRA to prioritize its resources and redevelopment efforts. If, for example, a land use application is filed for a property that is highlighted,this plan should be used as a guide for the City prior to rendering a decision on that land use application. In the future,there may be redevelopment projects that are initiated either by the private sector or by the Fridley Housing and Redevelopment Authority. Establishment of these potential redevelopment areas as S-2,Redevelopment District,will give the City site plan review authority through a master plan process. This will ensure any future proposed projects in these areas meet the goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan. f ` Riverboat Mall i r There is a.9 acre sized parcel on the ; corner of 79`h Way and East River Road � that is zoned C-1,Local Business zoning. q, �� ,r ,�,„, ,,,,, , �� >�, �� The site contains a small strip mall and a � •�� k �; �� gas station. The owner of this property f �� r �- � ° � '�� + ��"'' � � has had a very difficult time keeping the `' �� " ( �'-,�� ' ` ~ " � property fully leased despite the fact that � � the mall is surr o u n d e d b y a 3 0 1-u n i t aparhnent complex and located in a high ; ` . -��. traffic area with good access. The � � � � ��- building is in poor condition and is not � � , � "��,�� "��_�� attracting high value tenants. ��`"� � � Redevelopment of a site like this one , '� �� .��,��.�� 65 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 35 Exhibit A with underground gasoline tanks often involves contaminated soils,making redevelopment more difficult without government subsidy for extraordinary clean up costs. 77`h Way Industria/Site The industrial building located at 99 - 77`�'Way is designed for manufacturing and is now being underutilized as it is only partially being used for warehouse. This single-use building with overhead cranes has poor lighting and may be contaminated due to the previous use. The 5 acre site,which is zoned M-2,heavy industrial,has another drawback in that the employee parking area is across - '�~"� ...- 77`�'Way. Three separate parcels,one zoned M-1,light --�. ' ;�:_ �� industrial,and two zoned R-3,multi-family residential,were „,, ' +�! e # , ,_,;�; ' " used by the previous owner for employee parking. There is a $��"`"'"" �""' mid-block crosswalk for employees.This industrial site is � " located next to the BNSF rail line,but does not have a rail � � spur. The building may be encroaching into the BNSF right �- �� 4�' -�.� _ _ 3. �> of way based upon survey markers observed by staff. Osborne/Universify/ntersection This intersection has been selected by the �r� �� Fridley Police Department as the most accident prone intersection in Fridley. It is in the midst of a busy retail area and located too close to the intersection of University Avenue I and Osborne Road. ' In addition to the traffic safety issues of this intersection, some of the structures in this 11 acre area need to be redeveloped.These � buildings include the old Lyndale Garden ,,;,�, _ ,, > �, ��,.a'�"�,�,�; ,,,�:�� „�. ::.:=.�-:.�:�.� Center site at 7616 Osborne Road,which is .��"'°'°" now part of Bob's Produce and is zoned C-3, - general shopping, and the building at 7550 University Avenue frontage Road,which " _ , contains the building that was the first CUB Foods store in the Twin Cities area. Both of these structures are beyond their useful life,have too much parking,which is in poor condition and are inadequately landscaped. Automotive Use Area near Hwy. 65 �1' IFKei1wY �o� The Automotive Use area on the Redevelopment ; Area map is a 110 acre area which is a major = t ' gateway into the City of Fridley from the north , ` ,;� _ . ,��' _ '''� along Osborne Road,Hwy.65,and Central Avenue. �!_ �``'�''� --,,�� It is also an area which strongly needs �� ;-s`-`. redevelo ment. On the south side of Osborne from ;�- - " p -- � "' ��~�-� Baker Street to Highway 65,.streetscape - �- ° ,f� , .. �; �R-�,�,� ; � �:;: ¢�-..�; #r - �� :� y.� improvements are greatly needed to provide some . _.. : ' ` "`Y curb appeal to these properties. Several properties in this area need updating to address issues with '� outside storage,lack of paved surfaces required by 66 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 36 Exhibit A current code, and poor site design.The City is currently working with the three automobile recycling centers in this area to bring their properties into compliance with current code. Due to the lack of paving and prevalent automotive use on many of these sites,contaminated soils are a likely problem in the area. Columbia Arena The old Columbia lce Arena is an 11 acres site, which recently converted back from public zoning to ' industrial(M-2) zoning since it is no longer owned and ° °' �` operated by a public .. , .. �`. 4 � ' � entity.The site is i� � a„#'�� ' _ �. . �� currently being + marketed for _ .. ' warehouse space. However,there are many fire and building code issues that must be addressed before the building can be used for other purposes. Holly Shopping Center This shopping center on the corner of Mississippi Street and University Avenue was I � ' = � -- constructed in 1957 on about 9 acres of land. The strip mall structure,fa�ade,parking,and ' "�;, landscaping,all need updating. The site is � � -�- - - = � - , __. , surrounded by residential property,yet has no :,� ` - �__ _-_ 4 �_...:�!r' _...-,.i+A+.,�--."�. '_. tit.�'-�_ pedestrian access.The mall is over-parked for - *_, "� ' � ,:i.�.. �:...... the type of businesses it contains and is therefore informally used as a park and ride site. Maintenance is an issue as well,which was demonstrated by the fact that this site received more code enforcement complaints than any other single site in the city in 2006. Moon P/aza This strip mall,facing University Avenue suffers from poor access issues. Since the structure was built in 1964 towards the back of the lot,the building is not clearly visible from the highway. Access from either the south or north off of University is «- awkward for this 3.6 acre site.The building itself has suffered from many _ building and fire code challenges in the „ ,.,�s�,�, past.Wall signage is not uniform and � �.�..�. "�- "'`'" ' unappealing.This shopping area is also ��p � � ,, � •E�.�:��= over-parked for the level of business it ,r �. �•+��--'�� _t��' _,��''""�`' receives,leaving an opporlunity for . ,. a .�:,... , ,�.,;.,.�. ' ..�;,,,�.�:.. ��-�. .�",� �,_. truck drivers to use the site as a truck e } stop or storage yard.The site lacks �� '�� °� �� landscaping,and what little green space �, ,:_:o- .,. . w � :.. �„_ � �° `� ' '`:v ., 9, , it has is not adequately maintained.The K..� ; : N'-� site lacks curb and gutter,and it appears '' " '� the site is also in violation of required side yard parking setbacks. A public right oi way access runs along the property's north edge. Vacation of this right of way should be considered in any future redevelopment of this site. 67 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 37 Exhibit A Moore Lake Area The Moore Lake Shopping Center area posed another opportunity in the City for a walkable downtown. The only form of public transportation in this 90 acre area is limited bus service along Central Avenue, but recreational trails and sidewalks exist in the area leading to Moore Lake Park.The Moore Lake Shopping area needs improved landscaping along the medians and right of ways. The Only Deals site needs updating. It could be combined with the site of the former Shorewood restaurant on Moore Lake and redeveloped into a mixed use site with fine dining on the lower level and condominiums overlooking the lake and park above. The area on the west side of Highway 65 contains a vacant Sinclair gas station site,which is non-conforming in size, and has sat vacant for years. The bowling alley site needs updating. If the senior condominium projects,which received approvals for the corner of Mississippi and Central, do not receive financing and lose their effective status,the City should continue to pursue high density, senior housing for these corners due to the demand for this type of housing in Fridley. Northstar Transit Orienfed Deve/opment While}'�° �r°� ��„�a University °~��-`�'�'��Avenues between 53`d Avenue and . ;. � - � . , _ ,...., . . ,., Mississippi Street is currently " - `° `� solely designed for automobile traffic, it is one of the main�,as �`��':°, ��°public � transit areas in the Citv�.

BeinQ close to transit is exnected to make these units attractive to nrofessionals working downtown. Islands of Peace Park On the west side of the BNSF railroad tracks,between the river and the Northstar Station Park and Ride location,lies a large multi-family housing area with buildings built in the 1960's(see notation on Future Land Use map on p.24). This area has often been considered for redevelopment by the Fridley HRA and City Council. The HRA did purchase a parcel of land at 6000 East River Road when it became vacant, anticipating the possibility of a larger redevelopment project in this area if more property became available for purchase.During their study,City officials have discussed the need to redesign and improve access to Islands of Peace Park. Currently,the national MRT bike trail leading to the park is hidden behind aparhnent garages and within the Stevenson Elementary School land,making it problematic�e �sa�e and uninviting to the general public unfamiliar with the area. With this pedestrian/bike trail being a key alternative transportation connection between the park and�e the Northstar Commuter Rail Station, there is renewed interest in pursuing options to make entrance to this park more accessibl�e. The City owns two parcels of land that contain the Islands of Peace Park buildings and parking lot, however,the City has a,ioint powers�eese agreement with the County to maintain the park.Anoka County Parks also has a lease agreement with a non-profit agency to use the park building. The City- owned parcels are also part of the regional Anoka County Riverfront-Islands of Peace Regional Park.In addition,the Mississippi River is a national park in this area,and the Northstar TOD area is in the center of one of the National Park Service's alternative transportation nodes,where thev are working to provide public,non-motorized access to the River. In 2012,the Citv of Fridlev received a Metropolitan Council LCDA TOD Pre-Development ar� master plan the Northstar TOD area in Fridlev. Since the LCDA funds could not be used for park planning,the cit�partnered with Anoka Countv Parks to finance and first develop a rough nlan to show how the nark could be reconfi�ured and redesiQned to support redeveloned multi-familv housinQ in the area and connect the single-familv residential area north of Stevenson Elementary to Islands of Peace Park. The subsequent preliminaryplan is shown here in Figure 4.25. 69 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 39 Exhibit A Figure 4.25 �.7 �I�i , �ty ls:ei i= �' c ,��E�_6t � „ �; �=:f. �• t � E y ..«n,P,S• . ��'d"�� 5ry��7 � ,�+' . . ...... . . �� . ...

This redevelopment area represents 433 acres of land in the community. Hwy. 65/53'�Avenue Area Now that the Target site has been redeveloped, three parcels to the east of it are now obviously outdated. Two of these parcels,which equal 1.3 acres total of land area, are of concern due to poor access-the gas station site on the corner of 53rd and Central and the Embers Restaurant at 5400 Central Avenue. The buildings are also in need of updating and landscaping. 4.3 Economic Development and Redevelopment Goals and Objectives All four of the main goals from Chapter 1 of the comprehensive plan apply to this chapter;however,the following two goals are most pertinent to the topic of economic development and redevelopment. 1. Maintain Fridley as a desirable place to live 2. Maintain Fridley as a desirable place to invest in business While staff tried to convey the message that the City actually has very little control to attract certain types of businesses to the community without establishment of an economic development authority,the desire for certain business developments were strongly conveyed to staff at the neighborhood planning meetings regardless. Such objectives that were desired by the community included: 1. Create a walkable downtown area,with mixed use buildings with lower level shops and housing above,like St.Anthony's Silver Lake Village ar St. Louis Park's Excelsior and Grand 2. Provide more retail opportunities so folks can spend their money in the community in which they live 3. Provide more restaurants,especially fine dining opportunities 4. Keep taxes low 5. Maintain the commercialJindustrial base we have and encourage growth 6. Provide more public transportation.Like Northstar Commuter Rail, so that road congestion can be reduced. 7. Provide more east/west vehicular,walking,and biking connections across the City 8. Redevelop eyesores and underutilized properties in the community 4.4 Conclusions and Action Steps A few conclusions can be drawn from the economic data compiled on Fridley. 1. No other opportunity is greater to Fridley's redevelopment future right now than the establishment of a commuter rail station stop.Having a Northstar station site in Fridley is a key component that affects several of the objectives above. It will likely be key to creating a walkable downtown and key to the transportation needs of the community. It does little good for Fridley businesses to have an abundance of jobs if we have difficulty providing affordable transportation for those workers. 73 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 43 Exhibit A Action Step: The City should continue to pursue passage of special legislation that will create a transit TIF district for part of the Northstar TOD area(Main Street to River and 61 St Avenue to I-694) and also for authorization to pool funding from old TIF districts that would otherwise go unused. While this funding cannot be used to build the station itself,it can be used for other redevelopment around the station site. The City should also pursue Federal and State funding sources for redevelopment around the station site and for development of the station site itself. 2. The community spoke loud and clear at community meetings that they wanted to have more retail opportunities here in Fridley. They also spoke loud and clear that they saw three existing shopping areas as eyesores that should be redeveloped—CUB Foods(on 57�'Ave.),Moon Plaza, and Holly Center.All three of these sites are outdated and are experiencing vacancy problems. Action Step: City staff needs to meet with private developers and owners of these existing multi- tenant shopping areas to encourage redevelopment of these sites. Any redevelopment plans for the CUB Foods site need to be orientated toward transidpedestrian/bike access. 3. Creating a walkable downtown,providing another east-west connection,providing more restaurants and meeting affordable housing goals are objectives that could all be intertwined into a massive redevelopment project if the City desires to pursue these objectives. Action Step: The most sensible creation of a walkable downtown area in Fridley should be an area that is connected to the Northstar Station Site and located in the Northstar TOD redevelopment area shown on Figure 4.2. Since the site at 5601 East River Road, owned by the JLT Group,is currently vacant,it presents a great opportunity for planning for a future bridge over the railroad tracks, connecting 57"'Avenue west to East River Road. This extension would provide emergency personnel a much needed alternative east-west route for reaching accidents on the freeway during rush hour bottlenecks on I-694.

Staff has long seen a need to provide better access west and north of the site of the City's largest employer,the Medtronic World Headquarters. The above plan would make Medtronic Parkway a continuous roadway from East River Road to Highway 65. This connects 4,000 employees to what will be the city's largest retail area if 5601 East River Road is rezoned to commercial. The 57t1'Avenue bridge would provide another east-west bike and pedestrian access across the BNSF Railroad tracks. It also provides a more clear connection,both by car and foot to the Fridley Northstar Rail Station Site at 615t and Main Street. There are also bus stops at 57�'Avenue and University Avenue,which are important to connect to surrounding neighborhoods with walkways. The residential area,which would need to be redeveloped to accommodate the new parkway,is currently primarily zoned multifamily residential. The redesignation of this area as redevelopment area would allow for some mixed use design, creating suitable areas for main floor retail(restaurants and shops),meeting the public's strong desire for more restaurants in the City.Upper levels could then include apartments or condominium spaces. There would be much opportunity for design of multi-level senior care facilities that would be in close proximity to public transit and walkways. Before proceeding with this concept,however,the City should consider conducting a market study to analyze the demand for this type of commercial development in this particular location.

The City of Fridley has very little vacant commercial/industrial land left. Most of our business growth will likely need to be on existing sites. Action Step: City staff should continue to use the weekly Development Review Committee meetings as a welcoming forum to help our existing businesses examine their possibilities for growth and expansion on their current sites or on suitable parcels within the community. 5. The Mississippi River is an :r_�; � underutilized amenity in Fridley. The �'` "� City has few areas where the River is ` ' `'�- visible from major roadways. In �"�" '` ° , �.�ri s' addition,residents have long � �� ', �t complained that the City is lacking a � �:` :�, - �: fine dining opportunity in the City. One � � -4 ,�., f economic opportunity that could help `�' �` �` � > " � ��u,- �,� �� :� `� �� enhance an underutilized park would be :� - establishing a fine dining restaurant _r _ _ " ' - along the River. �=��-�,� .�, �:. . �' � � s � � R�� h � � Action Step: The City should initiate �. ' ° � �n � �� ,.;��, �,�� -� ��.�..� .��, discussions with potential partners to �� .� _;� � ��",� see if there is an opportunity for a r�� Ty public/private partnership with a fine dining restaurant along the river. If a fine dining restaurant,combined with new housing,could be built overlooking the Mississippi River and recreation uses like boating were promoted,the river would become better utilized and viewed more as an asset in the community. 4.5 Summary It was clear during the neighborhood planning meetings that public desires to improve Fridley run deep. Members of the community want exciting redevelopment projects in Fridley that they see occurring in 76 Chapter 4, Economic and Redevelopment Plan Page 46 Exhibit A � other communities in the Twin Cities. They want places to live where they can walk to shops and walk to mass transit. They want recreational opportunities that are easily accessible and safe to enjoy. It is clear that significant redevelopment is not going to occur in Fridley unless the City initiates it. Staff has seen exciting redevelopment proposals conceptualized by private developers for many major projects over the past ten years,but none have materialized. This 2030 Comprehensive Plan needs to spark enthusiasm for a major project in Fridley—a highly visible project that has the potential of stirring a new way of perceiving public transportation and pedestrian movement through the community. This is a great challenge for a community dissected by three major north-south highways and east-west by an interstate, but the City View site design has the potential of being that key project. 77 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 75 Final The Northstar Corridor Commuter Rail The BNSF lines running through Fridley�e are also used for commuter rail service.The Northstar��-passenger rail service platform and stop in Fridley is located at 61 S`Ave. and 615t Way. The Fridley station is accessible from both east and west of the BNSF lines, (East River Road and Main St.)with a tunnel beneath the tracks available for bicycle and pedestrian access. , Commuter trains��run weekdays into the City during the morning rush hours into downtown Minneapolis or north on the route to Big Lake.Northstar trainsa�depart from downtown in the evening rush hours heading northward through the City of Fridley and south from the terminus toward downtown Minneapolis during that time.

The City is not within the influence area of any metro system airport;however it is within the region's general airspace that needs to be protected from potential obstructions to air navigation. The Aviation Chapter of the Metropolitan Development Guide(MDG)includes policies on protection of the region's airspace.These policies support the need to include both Federal and State safety standards,which must be a major consideration in the planning,design,maintenance and operation of air transportation facilities and services. The City will apply the following policy in order to protect the region's general air space: ➢ Ensure its local codes and ordinances are consistent with state laws that regulate height of structures that may obstruct general airspace.The current statutory language is found within Minnesota State Statutes 360 and Aeronautics Rules and Regulations 8800.1200 Criteria for Determining Air Navigation Obstructions. 80 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 78 Final ➢ Notify the State Commissioner of Transportation 30 days in advance of any proposal involving the construction or alteration that would exceed a height of 200 feet above ground level,or any construction or alteration of greater height than an imaginary surface extending upward and outward at a slope of 100:1 from the nearest point of the nearest runway of a public airport. The City has one heliport located at Unity Hospital,500 Osborne Road.The landing pad is on the north side of the building. 6.3 Public Transit Facilities and Services Public transit provides the community with an alternative means of travel to automobile or pedestrian travel.Transit services in the City of Fridley include local and regional bus services. The primary provider of transit services is the Metropolitan Council through its Metro Transit division.Fridley is within Market Area II. Metro Transit provides both express and non-express bus services to Fridley and the metropolitan region. Metro Transit is funded by regional taxes levied on cities that fall within the Transit Taxing District,which the City of Fridle��i� er.r.re?�>��ithin_ � -�- � � � �� n..,.,. �� ,-r.. ,.,� ;ao t„ ° �,� �, ,° °,.�Metro Mobility �� , �� ,'� � �,�j�,1 � � � o �(� «.7 .l.on A..,.7�..'f`..,,..r..T.-.,.,olo,-r.�.tor},or � a i'� �[L j. ^ 7 provides paratransit services to those of the ," - � � �� public that are unable to use the fixed route � ��i`;; -- ., system as required by the 1990 Americans with � ��- �,�{; .. 7 � Disabilities Act(ADA). � E _ Agencies RA. �_r"�" `� ' Anoka County Transit has established limited fixed routes,which generally connect major transit hubs with major trip generators such as County facilities,major employers,educational institutions and retail hubs. Routes 805 and 831 serve the City of Fridley through the Northtown Shopping Center and are scheduled to provide timed transfers to Metro Transit bus routes. Anoka County Traveler has three types of services for Fridley ;:,,,�riw residents,and is funded by the Metropolitan Council. I.f � Their City Bus program has one fixed route through Fridley,Rt. � � 801,which originates at the Brooklyn Center Transit Center and � f � '' stops at University Avenue and 53rd before continuing througl, � Columbia Heights,New Brighton and culminating at Rosedal� Transit in Roseville. It runs through Fridley only during rush hours in the a.m. and p.m.-rr-.. #�e� Transit Link is a public dial-a-ride transportation that operates where regular fixed route transit is unavailable or distant. Transit Link eligible to anyone who is more than a '/<to a'h mile away from appropriate bus service(summer and winter distances vary). Those who use Transit Link are picked up at home and dropped to the nearest transit center which fulfills the direction of service needed. The third Anoka County Traveler program is Metro Mobility,a-public dial-a-ride transportation for certified riders who are unable to use fixed-route transit due to a health condition or disability Both the Transit Link bus and the Metro Mobility bus are accessible buses.��+�� 81 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 79 Final c��i�nnr„s,..-.,,.:a,. ,...a „ n i r,:..,,...�r,:,...,,i,....,,.i.:,.i,.:,, a:,._,.�..i...a -rL_ �__,_.. ra rn,. „�r,- 'rt�„.. �r�;., s'� 'ai •.t,' .t, a• t •a �rr@i3S3��35 i'6tl�@S — Metro Transit Services Options for market Area II include regular-route locals,all-day express, small vehicle circulators,special needs paratransit (ADA,seniors), and ridesharing.Metro Transit provides bus service to Fridley through several routes and the use of Park and Ride lots. The following are the major bus service routes serving Fridley(see Figure 6.5): ➢ Route l O loops through the City of Fridley traveling northbound on TH 65 then to Old Central Avenue through Northtown shopping center and returning southbound on University Avenue. Route 10 runs continually throughout the day providing hourly transit services to downtown Minneapolis. ➢ Route 25 provides services to Fridley through adjacent communities of New Brighton and Spring Lake Park. This route also eventually connects with downtown Minneapolis and Northtown Shopping Center.This route runs throughout the day with a focus on peak periods. ➢ Route 824 is a limited stop express route that runs on weekdays only from the Northtown Transit Station to downtown Minneapolis along University Avenue through Fridley at 30 minute intervals during rush hour. It services Unity Hospital in Fridley as one of its stops. ➢ Route 59�3 follows TH 65 southbound in the morning peak period carrying commuters into downtown Minneapolis and returning during the evening peak period. Services are provided to the park and ride lot at St. Phillips Church north of Moore Lake. This route only runs during peak periods. ➢ Route 852 follows East River Road through Fridley serving Anoka County and downtown Minneapolis Monday-Saturday.This route primarily is a northbound route originating in downtown Minneapolis in the morning and acting as a reverse commute to Fridley. Fridley residents can utilize this route to travel to suburban destinations north of Fridley. Once this route gets to Anoka, it returns to downtown Minneapolis hourly as an express route. Route 852 also operates on holidays and weekends. It only stops at major park-n-ride lots and does not stop in Fridley south of I-694. ➢ Route 854 has stops on University Ave. and goes to��"��-�� T T~:•,°r�:t., "•,��..° �-.*,,,.�, a �. downtown Minneapolis ��a --��•�-�-�� ^��--��via l-694 and I-94 express during a.m. and runs the same route in reverse order during p.m.peak periods. Primary users of Route 854 are commuters destined to Minneapolis Central Business District. Route 854 connects to Northtown Shopping Center and to destinations further north in Blaine and Coon Rapids. Figure 6.5 shows the Existing Transit Services and Facilities in Fridley. Existing park and ride lots are located at St. Phillips Church,TH 65 at West Moore Lake Drive,20 parking spaces reserved by Metro Transit.� a C' ��I'11' !`1.., l, T7t �-7 ��7� � Qix��iaccS-icS'crzca�rricixv � &ua oc—�riiriunr�zrrctTCn�m�rr ��Ye33l3e�1�,�8 aF� �si�.Unauthorized hide and ride lots are located at some religious institutions or commercial shopping centers close to major bus lines. Other park and ride sites outside the city limits,but serving Fridley residents,are Foley Boulevard Park and Ride and Northtown Transit Hub. PT•��,�o-��,�Park and ride sites are located on both the east and west sides�e}�esed-at the Fridley Northstar Station. The revised Transportation Policy Plan adopted by the Metropolitan Council in 2004 envisions significant improvements in the bus system. Improvements are to aid their goal to increase transit ridership 50 percent by 2020 and double it by 2030.Improvements could include new express bus routes, arterial corridor enhancements,suburb-to-suburb service,transit stations,park and ride lots,and other 82 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 80 Final features.Metropolitan Council's plans for transit support facilities show plans for future bus shoulder lanes on both sides of Highway 65 through Fridley like those which already exist on University Avenue. While the City of Fridley would welcome added bus service to the community,we see a more pressing need of enhancing the transit stops we have in place for existing service. Metro Transit provides bus shelters and benches along major bus routes such as TH 65, University Avenue and East River Road(See Figure 6.6).Many bus stops,however,lack a bench or a raised paved separation from traffic areas. Some bus stops require a rider to stand in the street or ditch while they wait for a bus. Other bus stops have no paved access leading to them,requiring riders to hike through highway ditches and snow banks to access the stop.Pedesh-ian proximity to traffic is problematic. Private Transit The private sector also provides a limited amount of transit services,primarily through taxi and bus/van charter companies. The operation and capital expenditures of these local transit services are generally small,producing a minimal impact on citywide transportation patterns. 83 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 81 Final Figure 6.5 Existing Transit Services and Facilities r�'''°O . �-� � - Clt'�/ Of _ .��w� - Fridley �:. ,`l`.

However,for many travelers,neither form of transport alone can compete with the auto's combination of range, flexibility and convenience. However,if bikes and transit work as a team,they make a formidable alternative to the car : "°°�'�'° ��a � �; cheaper, ften faster;a� without the automobile's environmental damage. Bicycling and walking are se�e-e�the least expensive,m��nhealthiest�forms of transportation. ��°'��-�°��a��. Many people who take transit walk or bicycle to their transit stop.Yet,just like the rest of Americans, only about 9 percent of all of our trips in the Twin Cities metro area are completed by foot or � bicycle. Ninety percent of trips by children today are made as a passenger in a car. This low level of walking and biking affects children's health, independence and ability to learn walking,�bicycling and orienteering skills,as reported by Transit for Livable Community(TLC)of Minnesota,among other sources of data.We could easily bicycle or walk more: half the trips we take are less than three miles,40 percent are less than two miles, and 28 percent are less than one mile—yet 75 percent of trips less than one mile are made by car. With the variability�ea�e-of gasoline prices,the need for fitness,and th�climate change� �discussion,many are beginning to see bicycling as a viable means of transportation.Within the metropolitan area,support is growing for cyclists to have safer and faster routes. Almost all metropolitan buses have bike racks and several Minnesota cities are accessing federal funds for improving and expanding bikeways. Bicycle Transportation Definitions Bike Lane-A portion of a street reserved for use by bikes,usually separated from general purpose lanes by a stripe of paint and signage. Fridley's first bike lane is located on Main St. between the NorthStar Commuter Rail stop at 615i Ave. and 57`�'Ave. near a major commercial node. Bike Path-Path segregated from motorized traffic for the use of bikes,sometimes shared with pedestrians. Bike Route-Any combination of signed Bike Paths,Bikeways,Bike Lanes,Greenways and other streets which provide cyclists with a preferreds�e�route°��between destinations. Bikeway-A street specially treated to provide a bicycle-friendly environment. Overview of Transportafion Bicycling in Fridley In Fridley,there are two main types of bicycling usage: Recreation and Transportation. The focus of this section is Transportation Bicycling.A typical transportation cyclist could be commuting and/or running errands. Transportation cyclists have two main concerns when choosing a route: safety and speed.These factors are used to evaluate any particular route's suitability to transportation cycling,whether it is a street, highway,or even dedicated bicycling path. 86 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 84 Final Safety Cyclists are very concerned about their own personal safety--in an accident involving an automobile and a bicycle,the cyclist is more likely to suffer greater harm. Cyclists may choose routes that are safer than other possible routes that are quicker to get to the same destination. They consider the volume of traffic,widths of shoulders,widths of driving lanes, and speed of traffic and whether or not there are special facilities on or near a roadway suited to bicycles. Travel Speed Travel by bicycle takes longer than driving a vehicle, as bicycle speed is usually limited to the strength of the rider.Terrain,roughness of pavement, directness of a bike route,weather and thee number of stops,also affect the trip speed. Frid/ey Active Transportation�is�s�i�g' Plan The City's approach is not to make cars stop using roads, or diminish the importance of automobiles in our community,but is rather to acknowledge that cyclists and pedestrians also have needs for their transportation choice for access to schools,jobs and essential goods and services. The Active Transportation�i�-P�lan is consistent with the desire to make Fridley an accessible community for all; °11 ^ i.° .. ,..o,,. ;.t, r,r„mnrr> n;i,o ,�„ :t;t, r� n,r t � a i .,t ..a cr,, o n,.i; o ., r�,o rn.,mnrr u:t> >�., ;t;�., r�o rn,. ,.i c i �r� t, �nn�� > ,� includinge the goal to'-'promote and increase cycling and walking as a�energy-efficient,non-polluting and healthful transportation alternatives'-'.The overall aim of the city's Active Transportation�g �Plan is to improve bike route suitability for transportation cyclists,identify gaps in key bike and pedestrian routes and increase signage dedicated to bicyclists and pedstrians and stress safety throughout. The goal is to aid movement throughout the city without an automobile,and provide safe crossing of east/west arterial routes for pedestrians and bicyclists. The plan may be found in its entirety on the City of Fridley website: http://www.ci.fridlev.mn.us/other/fridley-s-active-transportation-nlan .��F�-a �••��The plan itself was part of a State Health Improvement Program(SHIP) grant with the focus of building healthy communities through increasing the ability of residents to move about the city safely when on foot or on a bike—in a non-auto transportation mode.E�. The impetus from Safe Routes to School research and surveys,the Twin Cities' Transit for Livable Communities, anticipation of re-development inside transit corridors and an increasing amount of research about the value of increased exercise on community health all had a role in prompting the development of the Active Transportation Plan,too. The planning process included coordination with regional Planning,Metro Transit,Anoka County Transportation and the Fridley Schools Transportation Deparhnent. During the Plan's development,the Active Transportation Committee€�,�evaluateds the existing bike paths,lanes,and the road system for bicycling suitability. This�}identified�a R�a ��°�*� �� :�„°��,��'feasible cycling routes in the-a-city and began the process of prioritizinga�d�essgaps and shortfalls within the cycling transportation system. The best ways between schools,parks, shopping districts,and jobs were sought. Bike and Pedestrian counts at key intersections,in accordance with MnDOT procedures,were conducted to determine which crossing locations were most heavily used.This information along with statistical research from the U.S. Census about the locations of potential users of transit,bicycle and pedestrian facilities was inserted into a Bike/Walk Study(accepted by the Fridley City Council in 2011).The Bike/Walk Stud f�°°�'�T,r° � � �,.;��-;,;*,.D��:�R�' T --� �;�� B:,-:--�- � directly informed the y,�_.,. .�...., .,., �.......,.. .� �..,�..b Active Transportation Plan(approved by Council in 2012).Based on this plan,the City will progressively implement ' , , `' '� ' .(as funding sources are identified),bike route re-alignments,gap 87 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 85 Final removals in major bike and pedestrian routes,the creation of additional bike lanes and new bike route signage,which will be put in place. In some cases,road diets(lane reductions on streets)may be part of how this will be achieved,where ample roadways exist. �� , � , A�.,��... �:..�u��. ,.t„ ,.� - .b� . 4inrr�.�� L��a��' �*--��+� �, �1�n.��. .:+�n��,��Creating a transportation cycling system is not expected to require major consri-uction,such as repaving or widening streets. Creating a bikeway system in Fridley will�e}�require some additional roadway striping, designated signage,road diets(in some locations)and awareness programs. One significant capital investment,increasing the safety of the crossing of Main Street over 694 for those on foot or on a bike,will be accomplished with funding obtained for a bicyle/pedestrian bridge slated for construction in 2016.-.�°��,�� -��,�°��'�� :.;o .,. „+o ..a „r�.;v �40*...,«rl � 0,7 336�-Q'S—S{��9�'—&S�fLS�-&��-�6 e� cc�EO�eft'�vciic.r. . cc ee � .

Pedestrian and Bicycle Wa/kways and Trails 89 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 87 Final Since Fridley developed first as a suburban community,bikeways and walkways were frequently not included in development plans and are therefore almost non-existent in many neighborhoods,including those streets which are direct routes to schools or commercial centers. The group of those(above)who use sidewalks are,in most locations,by necessity,walking directly in the streets. Pedestrian travel is mixed with automobile travel throughout the City. Many of the streets are wide and little vehicular traffic,but not all. The City's involvement in the State Health Improvement Program put an emphasis on enabling City residents to get their recommended level of exercise while going about normal daily activities(going to school, shopping,visiting civic buildings,etc.) Since safety concerns often prohibit people from walking and biking,it is important for the City to correct barriers to safe,non-motorized transportation when feasible. The Active Transportation Plan provides a starting point for a new direction for greater inclusivity of people traveling throughout our community without a car. It provides clear direction for winter snow clearance for trails and bus stops, as soon as may be practicable,as illustrated in the maps below. 90 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 88 Final ; , Cit}1 af Fridle�. � : = Plowed Side�i�alks and Paths �?� - � �Praposed Nlaintenance� . �`• '�_:_--= . � � s �\ � '�`� , ` , � ` 3 � �, _ � , �L�` �• ��.�'��"�� ' . � " � i " � _� , ' � . :`..� • .... � �N�MM�l� r' 1+--��' � N�p Dyte:7 1�SN{! . � � N E CR ' . f�� .. � ....- ._. . .. - -' a. ..�i. .t.l. .. 1 1 . �. . , ,��.m . .''�.i� ,. � t �. . ,, .. - f�#. � , ._. . tt �.� . . - •!+'-i1��r..'.:��r�-s�n«i+i a n..��v�v.� �__.� �.�. y 1 . � �9� ' . . � �� . � �� a . � �^ 'i ....y � i +.� ` -. ...3 �� I '�i�... , j 1 ' � x- l ,] . �a. a� �..�t��.4.a a��I-s� _ 'i �� • �e , ' t ��` � . . � !

The designated bicycling routes are most often found along collector and B Minor Arterial roadways such as Main Street or 7'�'Street. Off-road-�ee�-bicycling trails are located along stretches of TH 47,TH 65, East River Road and Central Avenue. The multi-purpose trails are primarily found along the Mississippi River and the Rice Creek West Regional Trai]Corridor. Figure 6.8 reflects the existing sidewalk and trail system in Fridley and recommended bike routes for the Active Transportation Plan of 2012.The first dedicated bike lane is installed along Main Street from the Northstar Rail location on the west side south to 57`}'Ave. 92 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 90 Final Figure 6.8 Active Transportation Map .,.�� -- �� ""'k �eaeuriss i - � F [,+ �,,�;"`�- .- - • � ' �"� � � �� ` �� ll`� 4f�1"t(��G'� � ,, ,��_ ; u�/ , �• � � .A , .. ...µ. ..., '��K S 34, �� i� " � � `-� �' A�tiVe 11r8n8(lOrt�OII Map ��--- - �:�. ; � � ��; sxc�mac�unn�m�� , ; . _ _ _. _ _ . __-- _ __._ _ __ . . _ _._. � �; �..� • � j� _ .,�,.�«_.�..> �� Getting Around Without A Car 1we1 rnl b=r.d.m'r4 sn i 1E 6u�t.4ra4 b�vt I�MU-.a�.u�d. j�i � - ..rw.ia r...... w+.m ``��, ey4��, �S, � . .. .. a � ..v�...rsr.a...n.r rn..r... `. -Y� ' . w...a wnac�.m�o.+.a. \�` . . f,�n.��.u.cr.« ye��wes a.i `� �,� 1 w.

The County maintains park land along Rice Creek and within that area maintains the Rice Creek Regional Trail which extends from the Mississippi River into and beyond New Brighton. The County also maintains various segments of trails along the Mississippi River as well. The City frequently considers locations far trail additions. These locations are based on making logical connections between pedestrian/bicycling destinations such as schools,parks,commercial nodes-or major employrnent centers to the city��and the regional trail systems thus providing alternatives to driving. , � � � . Additional information on recreational trails can be found in the Parks, Trails and Open Space section of this plan. Land Use and Transportation Fridley's transportation system should be used as an element of linkage rather than serving as a barrier. Roads, sidewalks,trails and mass transit should be used in creative and attractive ways to provide safe, convenient connections between neighborhoods throughout the community as well as providing connections to other local and regional points of interest. 95 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 93 Final 6.5 Traffic Analysis Zones The Metropolitan Council provides communities with projections for Population,Household and Employment by Traffic Analysis Zones(TAZ). TAZs are geographic areas that help planners understand development impacts on the regional roadway by determining how many trips may be generated from a particular zone. Traffic volumes in Fridley are expected to have minimal changes. Traffic patterns will be impacted by changes in land use and redevelopment. It should be noted that the population and employment are projected to remain stable. The following tables and figure illustrate Fridley's population,household and employment projections by TAZ(see Table 6.2 and Figure 6.10). 96 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 94 Final Table 6.2 Traffic Analysis Tables TAZ Po ulation TAZ Households 2000 2010 2020 2030 2000 2010 2020 2030 114 0 0 0 0 114 0 0 0 0 2115 6 6 6 6 2115 2 2 2 2 2116 43 42 42 A3 2116 17 17 18 18 2117 843 829 826 845 2117 338 346 355 367 2118 1318 1296 1292 1321 2118 549 562 577 596 2119 486 478 476 487 2119 189 194 199 205 2120 326 321 319 327 2120 125 128 131 136 2121 1329 1307 1302 1332 2121 554 567 582 602 2122 44 43 43 44 2122 18 18 19 20 2123 23 23 23 23 2123 9 9 9 10 2124 19 19 19 19 2124 '7 7 7 8 2125 0 0 0 0 2125 0 0 0 0 2126 529 521 518 530 2126 200 204 210 217 2127 1452 1428 1423 1455 2127 501 513 526 544 2�pg 7gg 7g5 782 800 2128 311 318 327 338 2129 168 165 165 168 2129 84 86 88 91 2130 574 565 563 575 2130 221 226 232 240 2131 650 639 637 651 2131 223 228 234 242 2132 246 242 241 246 2132 129 132 136 140 2133 684 673 670 685 2133 191 196 201 207 2134 0 0 0 0 2134 0 0 0 0 2135 0 0 0 0 2135 0 0 0 0 2136 135 133 132 135 2136 50 51 53 54 2137 75 74 74 75 2137 25 26 26 27 2138 0 0 0 0 2138 0 0 0 0 2139 502 494 492 503 2139 206 211 216 224 2140 536 527 525 537 2140 192 197 202 208 2141 752 740 737 753 2141 302 309 317 328 2142 842 828 825 844 2142 324 332 340 352 2143 1858 1828 1821 1862 2143 932 954 979 1012 2144 462 454 453 463 2144 174 178 183 189 2145 0 0 0 0 2145 0 0 0 0 2146 � 0 0 0 2146 Q 0 0 � 2147 0 0 0 0 2147 0 0 0 0 2148 0 0 0 0 2148 0 0 0 0 2149 825 812 809 827 2149 338 346 355 367 2150 837 823 820 839 2150 350 358 368 380 2151 280 275 274 281 2151 115 118 121 125 2167 626 616 614 627 2167 346 354 364 376 2168 836 822 819 838 2168 343 351 360 372 2169 630 620 617 631 2169 253 259 266 275 2170 906 891 888 908 2170 368 377 387 400 2171 267 263 262 268 2171 110 113 116 119 2172 1123 1105 1101 1125 2172 454 465 477 493 2173 1403 1380 1375 1406 2173 756 774 794 821 2174 1429 1406 1400 1432 2174 516 528 542 560 2175 0 0 0 0 2175 0 0 0 0 2176 1605 1579 1573 1608 2176 739 757 776 802 2177 498 490 488 499 2177 215 220 226 233 2180 234 230 229 234 2180 98 100 103 106 21g1 878 864 860 880 2181 301 308 316 327 2164 328 323 321 329 2184 136 139 143 148 2185 43 42 42 43 2185 17 17 18 18 TOTAL 27448 27000 26900 27500 TOTAL 11327 11600 11900 12300 Source: US Census Bureau,Metropolitan Council 97 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 95 Final TAZ Total Emplo ent TAZ Retail Em lo ent 2004 2010 2020 2030 2000 2010 2020 2030 114 1632 1312 1392 1424 114 0 0 0 0 2115 1216 977 1037 1061 2115 0 0 0 0 2116 892 717 761 778 2116 209 168 178 182 2117 354 285 302 309 2117 34 27 29 30 2118 38 31 32 33 2118 3 2 3 3 2119 19 15 16 17 2119 0 0 0 0 2120 9 7 8 8 2120 0 0 0 0 2121 91 73 78 79 2121 5 4 4 4 2122 1102 886 940 962 2122 28 23 24 24 2123 496 399 423 433 2123 10 8 9 9 2124 0 0 0 0 2124 0 0 0 0 2125 545 438 465 476 2125 52 42 44 45 2126 1672 1344 1426 1459 2126 11 9 9 10 2127 234 188 200 204 2127 0 0 0 0 2128 326 262 278 284 2128 92 74 78 80 2129 655 526 559 572 2129 213 171 182 186 2130 32 26 27 28 2130 10 8 9 9 2131 31 25 26 27 2131 0 0 0 0 2132 5104 4102 4354 4454 2132 12 10 10 10 2133 4 3 3 3 2133 0 0 0 0 2134 1559 1253 1330 1360 2134 12 10 10 10 2135 133 107 113 116 2135 7 6 6 6 2136 156 125 133 136 2136 5 4 4 4 2137 66 53 56 58 2137 0 0 0 0 2138 837 673 714 730 2138 5 4 4 4 2139 164 132 140 143 2139 0 0 0 0 2140 33 27 28 29 2140 6 5 5 5 2141 205 165 175 179 2141 39 31 33 34 2142 26 21 22 23 2142 5 4 4 4 2143 153 123 131 134 2143 0 0 0 0 2144 137 110 117 120 2144 6 5 5 5 2145 1326 1066 1131 1157 2145 255 205 218 223 2146 162 130 138 141 2146 0 0 0 0 2147 84 68 72 73 2147 0 0 0 0 2148 5754 4625 4908 5021 2148 4864 3909 4149 4245 2149 876 704 747 764 2149 0 0 0 0 2150 113 91 96 99 2150 0 0 0 0 2151 245 197 209 214 2151 44 35 38 38 2167 505 406 431 441 2167 9 7 8 8 2168 64 51 55 56 2168 43 35 37 38 2169 446 358 380 389 2169 0 0 0 0 2170 91 73 78 79 2170 4 3 3 3 2171 431 346 368 376 2171 47 38 40 41 2172 194 156 165 169 2172 1 1 1 1 2173 36 29 31 31 2173 0 0 0 0 2174 94 76 80 82 2174 0 0 0 0 2175 1079 867 920 942 2175 40 32 34 35 2176 44 35 38 38 2176 1 1 1 1 2177 37 30 32 32 2177 11 9 9 10 2180 609 489 519 531 2180 185 149 158 161 2181 188 151 160 164 2181 126 101 107 110 2184 0 0 0 0 2184 0 0 0 0 2185 183 147 156 160 2185 0 0 0 0 TOTAL 30482 24500 26000 26600 TOTAL 6382 513a 5444 5569 Source: IJS Census Bureau,Metropolitan Council 98 I Chapter 6, Transportation Page 96 Final Figure 6.10 Traffic Analysis Zones ._,��.�.� � �- '. _� � Clt�/ Of � r., ;;�" . ;,r r - � �„� Fr�dley � a_�I��— ��' i3iD ALk� I ` � �.. .

Regional"through"trip with description of being an external-external trip.This type of trip typically uses the major roadways to travel through the community with neither an origination nor a destination point in Fridley. Many of these trips originate in greater Anoka County or beyond and many have the Minneapolis Central Business District or other suburban attraction as their final destination.TH 65,TH 47,East River Road,and I-694 are the primary recipients of through trips,however,when these corridors become congested,many of these trips may look for shortcuts using the local street system. Traffic Volumes/Capacity Existing and past traffic volume data was obtained from traffic flow maps provided by the MnDOT. Data concerning daily volumes along roadways in Fridley were obtained back to the year 1986. The most recent available data, consisting of 2005 volumes, is shown in Table 6.3 and on Figure 6.11. The 20 year historic trend of daily volumes on the arterial/collector roadways in Fridley has been tabulated in Table 6.3. It can be concluded from the data in Table 6.3 that north-south travel corridors have seen a minimal increase in traffic from 1986 to 2001. These increases measure about one percent. But in the last 5 years,it should also be pointed out that traffic has decreased approximately 1%. The data shows that today's traffic volume is stable and very close to the same level as 20 years ago. This is likely due to the fact that TH 65 and TH 47 are both close to capacity—especially during peak periods.The east —west traffic volumes have also stabilized with minor variations. With the exception of roadways in the vicinity of the completed Medtronic's campus, growth in traffic will be a product of land use changes in communities to the north of Fridley.

Rime:(763)572-3566 103 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 101 Final The ability of a roadway to accommodate the volumes of traffic using the roadway involves the calculation of the capacity of that roadway. The capacity of a roadway is dependent upon many variables. The Metropolitan Council,in their Transportation Policy Plan,December 2005,has provided a set of capacity values that can be used for planning purposes. The values stated are lane capacities per hour for divided and undivided arterial roadways. Peak hour daily traffic assumptions and directional split values are also provided in that document. The lane capacity of arterial roadways is stated as follows: ➢ Divided Arterial—700- 1,000 vehicles per lane per hour ➢ Undivided Arterial—600 to 900 vehicles per lane per hour Using various data sources and capacity calculation methods,a set of planning values can be established that provides the daily capacity of various roadway types. The daily capacities used for this transportation element are as follows: Table 6.5 Daily Traffic Capacities for Level of Service D Operation � Roadway Type Planning Capacity LOS D 6-Lane Freeway 95,000 to 110,000 4-Lane Freeway 65,0000 to 70,000 6-Lane Divided 55,000 to 61,000 4-Lane Divided 31,000 to 37,000 4-Lane Undivided 18,000 to 22,000 2-Lane Undivided 8,000 to 9,000 The above values can be used as planning guidelines for judging whether the daily volumes on a specific roadway are at or above level of service D capacity. The daily planning capacities have been utilized to test the capabilities of the primary roadways in Fridley to accommodate the existing daily volumes. Using the mid-range capacity values listed previously,the daily volume/daily capacity ratios for the primary systems are shown on Figure 6.12. 104 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 102 Final Figure 6.12 Daily Volume/Daily Capacity Ratios for the Primary Systems �----�.��,,�r��_�, ___ :.

A more detailed capacity analysis can be provided for peak traffic hours along major roadways given the ability of more detailed traffic volume data. Such data is available along TH 65 as a result of the analyses that have been provided for the Medtronic development west of TH 65 on the north side of I-694. According to analyses contained in the Alternative Urban Areawide Review(AUAR) for the Medtronic Corporate Campus project,improvements to TH 65 are needed to accommodate existing and future volumes. The key issues of concern to the City along TH 65 are the impacts from the volume of regional and local traffic,especially from the intersection just south of Moore Lake to about 63`d Avenue. Congestion along the corridor has negative impacts on adjacent supporting streets and neighborhoods,be they commercial or residential. The City actively supports transit alternatives because they will help reduce the through traffic demand on highways like TH 65. Transit alternatives,however,cannot solve or eliminate the congestion on TH 65. The City supports legitimate public improvement projects that enhance operations and improve the safety of TH 65. 6.7 Maintenance The roadways in Fridley are maintained by MNDOT,Anoka County,or the City.The City Street Department maintains approximately 110 miles of city streets. Major maintenance activities include snowplowing,street sweeping, sealcoating,pavement marking,sign repair,and street light repairs. The City also rehabilitates selected streets using mill/overlay or full-depth reconstruction. Annual street condition ratings and field observations are used to identify streets in need of rehabilitation. The type of rehabilitation is determined through a feasibility study performed by the Engineering Department. By the end of 2008,the City will have completed reconstructaon of all streets under their jurisdiction. 6.8 Opportunities for improvement The City has a relatively good transportation system; however, some areas of the transportation system will become inadequate over the years as changes in consumers behavior occurs and as urban growth continues.This section summarizes the key transportation problems facing Fridley. TH 65 Capacity Existing roadway capacity problems in Fridley are evident along TH 65. This is supported by the volume/capacity ratios reported earlier. In addition,the TH 65 corridor was analyzed by MnDOT Metro Division through a TH 65 Traffic Operations Study a draft of which was completed in June of 1999. Generally,the analyses revealed capacity deficiencies along the corridor and supported the addition of a third through lane in each direction to help serve the high through traffic volumes in the morning and afternoon peak hours. The recent improvements to the TH 65/I-694 interchange area have increased the capacity and safety of that segment of TH 65. Specifically,the improvements to the TH 65/Centrall Medtronic Parkway intersection help to solve the immediate and some of the long term problems that have been envisioned for that intersection.The problem that continues to exist concerns the absence of sufficient northbound and southbound through traffic lanes from the TH 65/Central/Medtronic Parkway intersection,proceeding northerly through the City. The lack of an additional though lane in each direction causes peak period congestion along TH 65 and at the signalized intersections along this corridor. TH 47 Capacity The TH 47 corridor has problems that are similar to the TH 65 corridor. The through traffic volumes are quite high and congestion occurs during the peak periods at signalized intersections along the corridor. The land uses along TH 47 are more residential in nature than the land uses along TH 65,which cause concerns regarding noise and air pollution. 106 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 104 Final East River Road Due to rush hour traffic congestion on Highways 47 and 65 and projected growth to the north and northwest of Fridley over the next 20 years,the other north/south connection to downtown Minneapolis through Fridley,East River Road,is projected to experience significant traffic increases in the future. In order to plan for roadway improvements that can maintain safety and improve multi-modal mobility along the East River Road corridor,the cities of Coon Rapids and Fridley partnered with Anoka County to study the future needs of this roadway. As a result of a two-year study from 2010-2012,the Fridley City Council adopted the East River Road(CSAH 1) Corridor Study on March 26,2012. The Study presents existing conditions along the comdor and traffic forecasts for the planning horizon year of 2030. It documents the data and analysis used to develop and screen alternatives and recommends concepts for implementation that address identified safety and mobility needs. The Study does not anticipate reconstruction of the corridor to occur at one time. Rather,the identified concepts will be implemented over time as funding allows. East-West Transit Services Transit services in the City are oriented along the major roadways through Fridley,which happen to be north/south roadways.One problem facing the community as roadway congestion increases is accessibility to transit services. Little east west transit service is available in the community,forcing residents to drive to transit facilities rather than catching a bus on a local collector roadway. Another trend that has revealed a problem for Fridley residents is the emergence of major"suburban" employment hubs. Because of the metropolitan highway systems orientation to and from the major Central Business Districts and because of the physical bamers(Mississippi River,wetlands, creeks, railroads and County boundaries)inter-suburban mobility in an east west fashion among Northern suburbs is limited. Recently,the City has been discussing the possibility of extending 57`�'Avenue from Main Street westerly to East River Road. This crossing would likely be spurred by commercial development in the adjacent area and provide an alternative route to cross the railroad. Due to limited bridges over or under the BNSF railroad tracks and congestion levels on I-694, an additional emergency access over the railroad tracks is needed in the community. Pedestrian Crossings of Major Highways Over the years, several citizens have voiced concern about safely crossing TH 65 and TH 47. Overpass construction is an expensive undertaking,and the right sub-surface conditions need to exist for underpass construction. TH 65 and TH 47 are significant barriers for east-west pedestrian and bike traffic,and pose costly design challenges for creating a safe and continuous trail system. Two projects were completed in 1999 that provide vital links in the trail system. The Mississippi River Regional Trail was extended over Mississippi Street by Anoka County. The overpass provides safe passage ��.�. � , �. for bicyclists and pedestrians for this �' � '� 3 �� '"�'' north-south segment. This link is ' � "`" r ~� � ,�� even more critical for connection to - � . ��':��' the proposed Northstar Commuter � v�,�s �.�»-,.� �� ";� 4 ' �� Ra il station further to the south at � �`�" A: � �� ,� �� Y,' � 61 Avenue. The second project Patn creaced b f was the Anoka County TH 65 y pedestrians on Nwy. 65 107 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 105 Final underpass at Rice Creek.The Rice Creek Trail is a major east-west trail and the underpass provides safe, direct access to the system east of the community. The Northstar Commuter Rail station will contain a tunnel below the railroad tracks at 615L Avenue,which will provide pedestrians and bicyclist another east/west connection. Despite much attention in this plan on Northstar,the need to create safer crossings over TH 65 and I-694 should not be ignored.While many believe a safe crossing at TH 65 and I-694 is not possible,the fact remains that people(some of them children)are often making that crossing as the photo here proves. As Fridley's population ages,it is even more important to create a means of safe and direct access across all areas of the City. Mass Transit Accessibility While Fridley is serviced by several Metro Transit bus routes,pedestrian connections to many bus stops are inadequate.An analysis of existing bus stops in Fridley,as shown in Figure 6.6,demonstrates the need for improved safety at many bus stops and the lack of benches for our aging population. The analysis also revealed that many bus stops do not have paved paths leading to them. Some people using bus stops are parents using strollers or elderly people using rolling carts to carry purchases.Therefore, rolling accessibility to bus stops is critical for ease of use by many users besides the physically handicapped. Commuter Rail The Northstar Commuter Rail Authority has negotiated use of the BNSF rail line through Fridley as a commuter rail corridor,the Northstar Corridar.Establishment of this commuter rail service will help relieve some of the north-south rush hour congestion through Fridley. Once a station stop is established in Fridley, it will not only serve as another transit options for Fridley residents who work downtown Minneapolis,it will also serve as a great asset to Fridley businesses seeking mass transit options for their employees. Mass transit options help Fridley businesses meet employee parking demands,which are a problem in many areas of the City. Other Safety improvements Fridley may have opportunity for other safety improvements, including on at-grade railroad crossings, upgrading signal operations and vehicle pre-emption,and signage. Projects such as railroad quiet zone improvements,and replacement of street signage at major intersections can provide itnproved roadway safety as a primary or secondary benefit. In addition,improvements should be made to consider an older driving population,and develop and implement feasible safety measures that are directed toward this demographic change,through the use of standards such as those developed in the Federal Highway Administrallon HIGHWAY DESIGN HANDBOOK FOR OLDER DRNERS AND PEDESTRIANS (http�//www tfhrc�ov/humanfac/01103/coverfront.hhn). 6.9 Future Transportation System Future System Transit plays a crucial role in making a region economically competitive.Transit makes living and working in a region more efficient and lowers the region's costs of production.Transit provides mobility for individuals who need help gaining access to employment. It also offers travel options for those who do not wish to bear the economic,social,and environmental effects of congestion.And,it supports more compact and mixed-use forms of development for individuals who want to live close to their jobs and the social and cultural opportunities a region affords. Although each function is important,a region earns its highest rate of return through its influence on urban form.By supporting a mix of uses and connecting origins and destinations,transit can help provide access to the region's economic opportunities,protect its natural assets,reduce the costs of regional growth,and establish appealing and livable neighborhoods. 108 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 106 Final Transit's functions can help meet needs for improving livability,dealing with population growth,and expanding economic opportunities for all. Future Needs Relative to transportation planning,the City of Fridley will focus its efforts in the following general areas: ➢ Maintain the existing local street system; ➢ Improve safety and traffic flow; ➢ Relieve local and regional traffic congestion; ➢ Enhance pedestrian movement; ➢ Connect existing trails and sidewalks; ➢ Promote transportation cycling; ➢ Assist with development of new transit services and facilities; ➢ Promote enhancements to existing transit facilities;and ➢ Facilitate east/west mobility within the City. 6.10 Goals and Objectives There were four primary goals and several underlying objectives that emerged from the 2007 neighborhood planning meetings. Transportation affects all four of the primary goals and the following obj ectives. Goa/#1: Maintain Frid/ey as a desirab/e place to live Objectives 1.

Improve and maintain City streets,including addressing `, ,, lighting and litter problems ' � � _ � ,�': ,��,°�..:. 109 ' � ___; Chapter 6, Transportation Page 107 Final Goal#4: Protect Frid/ey's natura/environment Objectives 1. Control air and noise pollution at levels acceptable to adjoining land uses 6.11 Conclusions and Action Steps 1. Anoka County reports that neither they nor MnDOT have any plans to expand ot conduct major changes to roadways in Fridley in the next 20 years.There are some highway improvements scheduled for Highway 65 north of Fridley with the intent of directing traffic to Highway 10.Yet, Highway 65 and Highway 47 (University Avenue)in Fridley are operating at capacity during rush hour. Metropolitan Area traffic data demonstrates that there is a great deal of commuting through traffic on Highway 65 and 47.There are currently several Hide and Ride sites in Fridley that will disappear when anticipated future redevelopment of certain commercial sites along these highways occurs. The natural development of these parking locations that service bus stops along Fridley's highways demonstrates a clear need for this service. In order to maintain Fridley as a desirable place to live and do business,the City highways need to be functional. One way to alleviate traffic congestion is to support mass transit.Traffic would be less congested in Fridley if we could get more commuters out of their cars and into mass transit north of Fridley's borders. Action Step: City staff needs to meet with the Metropolitan Council transit facility staff to discuss park and ride locations in Fridley that focus on relieving rush hour congestion. 2. It will continue to be difficult for Fridley to attract quality redevelopment projects until the appearance of State and County right of ways is improved. The City has long been battling for improved maintenance of road right of ways on roads that are outside the City's jurisdiction. For several years,the City has been mowing the right of way along University Avenue,a State highway, without compensation from the State, for example. The City cannot afford to maintain other jurisdiction's roadways as available funding is falling short of covering the cost of maintaining City- owned streets. Action Step: The City of Fridley needs to discontinue maintenance of County and State roadways without compensation. The City needs to reach maintenance agreements with MnDOT and Anoka County. If the City is unsuccessful in reaching such agreements,the City should consider treating the lack of maintenance as a code violation—either abating the violation after routine notification or citing the responsible jurisdiction for litter and tall grass code violations as we do with other property owners in the City. In addition,the City needs to make its concerns known regarding the negative effects of minimum maintenance. For example,the condition of the stop light pole in the picture above is aesthetically unpleasing. The growth of weeds in the median and severe ongoing litter problems negatively impact property values in Fridley. 3. Emergency personnel have expressed a need for another east-west route through Fridley in order to be able to respond to emergencies. During rush hour,it is difficult to use I-694 due to traffic jams.The only other options over the railroad tracks are 44"'Avenue,at the southern tip of the City,and Mississippi Street. During rain storm events,Mississippi Street is not a reliable alternative,because it floods.The best alternative staff has been able to find is creating a bridge over the BNSF railroad tracks at 57`t'Avenue.The City hired an engineering consultant to study and design this transportation option. This solution is feasible with some redesign to Home Depot's interior traffic design.The replatting of the vacant parcel of land at I-694 and East River Road gives the City the opportunity to require dedicated easement for purposes of creating this transportation connection,which is not only vital to public safety,but will also further economic development in the 57`�'Avenue retail area. 110 I Chapter 6, Transportation Page 108 Final Figure 6.13 City View Corridor Master Plan Industial , � Commercial � i *i Mixed Use ; ;j Multi-Family Residential � � '-"'' � I Singie-Family Residential ' /� � I + � Medtronic Corporate Headquarters , i�j� � j � i ; � , ; ! ; .,a� � � ( _� � �, �; l s i ` , � .�oa '' ; ( � �� 1 � �__. i � 1 � - sd � � � � � 1 - I ' I ;�� , � . �� i __ � � ___� ,-~ , � i _ a � I , �5`4` ��7th Avenu�tAv�erpa�,e ' " !

I-G94 Laurel Tracy OO 2007 1-(i94 Creating a bridge over the BNSF railroad tracks would strengthen the longstanding need to connect Medtronic Parkway as a continuous roadway from 7`h Street west to University. Once fully developed,this site will house the largest employee base of any site in the City. Economically,it would greatly increase the value of the 57`h Avenue retail area if this site were connected by a walkable/bikeable parkway. In addition,a bridge at 57'�'Avenue would provide additional east/west pedestrian/bicycling access for the City's largest apartment complex,Georgetown Apartments(462 apartments)to the Northstar Commuter Rail Station. Action Step:The City should require dedication of necessary easements on any associated plats that are submitted for approval in this proposed project area. City staff should communicate the City's interest in connecting 57�'Avenue to East River Road to representatives of associated retail property owners as an effort to begin site redesign plans for their retail site.As other redevelopment proposals 111 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 109 Final in the 57'�'Avenue area materialize, staff needs to work closely with the developer early in the process to ensure attention to pedestrian and bicycle access in this area. 4.

('� ,��` >.� Creating this area as a walkable downtown, � .�� however,is expected to require modifications to the 57�'Avenue and University Avenue Laurel Tracy �O 2007 intersection for increased pedestrian safety. Action Step: The City needs to conduct a multi-modal traffic impact study of the 57'i'/University Avenue intersection in order to determine the impacts of the City View plan on the intersection and what appropriate safety modifications are needed to protect pedestrians and cyclists. In addition,the City needs to evaluate the traffic impacts of the proposed 57`�'Avenue connection to the intersections on 57'�'Avenue at Main Street and 7`�'Street. 5. The City of Fridley owes its success in commercial � E�s E� ; - : and industrial development to the rail and highway `� c r,�r I ' system through the community.The City needs to ---- ' preserve these existing transportation systems to � -� support commerce. One way the City can reduce _ � ,� � �-��--� - � �- t�-�_ ; vehicular trips on our roadways is to promote _ �` � - - , �.� � public transit(bus and commuter rail)use and °�-�"� � ` commuter cycling.The manner in which many ot� �� ,- the City's roadways have been designed to only �-�. �-° � ,, � �'. accommodate automobile traffic,however,creates ,��,A� ._ �;�, :`;�. serious challenges to providing safe and efficient Litter at bus stop on University Avenue transportation cycling routes and pedestrian access to mass transit stops in the community. ' Staff believes that increased use of bus ridership r, " is dependent upon infrastructure and maintenance improvements to Fridley's e�cisting bus stops. � � Currently,many bus stops do not `have a paved .,,.�. -`�� . A q��i a, . �• area leading to or sunounding the bus stop.There ''''�� is no program for litter clean up at bus stops, � ��`�,:�`.�,�;�_. leaving those which have not been adopted by a � neighboring property owner chronically looking - - ------- � unsightly. There are many bus stop locations in People wait in snow bank for bus on University Avenue Fridley where a user needs to stand in the drive area of the street or in the street shoulder in high speed areas with no elevated separation for the user to stand upon. Action Step: The City will initiate a discussion with Metropolitan Council,Anoka County, and MnDOT about pedestrian and cycling route accesses to Commuter Rail and Fridley's bus stops. The 112 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 110 Final intent will be to improve the accessibility and safety of the bus stop sites notated with red symbols on major highways on Figure 6.6 by pursuing appropriate funding for feasible improvements. Action Step: The City's existing bike route system was designed for recreational biking. Transportation bicycling is very different in that cyclist commuting to work desire the shortest, quickest route possible to their destination. Existing bike routes in the City instead focus on taking bikers past scenic views, which are often hilly and on winding pathways. The City needs to develop a � separate transportation bike route map,which could assist cyclists in maneuvering through the City in the safest manner possible.The City may chose to change existing designated bike routes to accommodate this new trend. The City may also consider creation of painted bike lanes to create a safe transportation cyclist route through the community. The City should also consider applying for State/Federal funds for a separated pedestrian/bike bridge over I-694 at Matterhorn Drive and at Main Street. While applying for funding,the City could post"Share the Road"signs on the e�sting bridges over I-694 at Matterhorn Drive and Main Street. 6. There is a strong national initiative to provide safer walking and biking access to school as an effort to not only address traffic concerns but to reduce childhood obesity. There are limited sidewalks or trails within a one-mile radius of schools in Fridley,which is the distance where children are not provided bus transportation. Action Step: The City of Fridley should partner with the community's school districts to pursue Federal, State,or Regional grant funds to allow for the , � expansion of trails,bike lanes,or sidewalks near schools. In addition,the City will initiate a discussion with the school districts and Anoka County to analyze the possibility of reduced speed school zones at all of Fridley's school sites like those O that other communities throughout the metropolitan area have in place. O 7. There was concern raised at the neighborhood planning meetings about the danger � of the intersection of 53'�Avenue and University Avenue. This danger is a result O of the short distance for drivers exiting eastbound I-694 at University to go southbound on University and immediately needing to cross traffic to make a left � turn at 53`a Action Step: The City needs to work with MnDOT to consider revisions to the O eastbound University Avenue freeway exit. City staff believes a solution is to /, > eliminate the bypass right turn lane that currently exists on the eastbound � University exit.The exit could be redesigned with a third lane added to the northbound lanes for a right turn lane that is regulated at the existing stop light. � This will result in a need to reposition the stop lights also,but it would allow for a longer distance for drivers to merge into the east turn lane at the 53'�Avenue intersection. �� 8. The creation of the Northstar Commuter Rail Station is going to significantly change traffic flow at 6155 and University Avenue and at East River Road and 61St Way. MTC Buses will be routing off of the main highway into and out of these park and ride sites. In addition,these intersections are expected to see a significant increase in pedestrian and bicycle traffic from people traveling to the station site or using the tunnel to get across the railroad track. In response to this concern,MnDOT analyzed the traffic accident data for this intersection. Current accident history does not warrant a change to the exit according to MnDOT criteria. 113 Chapter 6, Transportation Page 111 Final Action Step: A multi-modal traffic impact study of the 61 st/University Avenue intersection and the East River Road/61 S`Way intersection should be completed and again when the traffic signals are scheduled far replacement. The study should review possible impacts the Northstar Commuter Rail Station Site will have on these intersections and what appropriate modifications are needed to maintain automobile traffic flow and at the same time provide safe pedestrians and cyclist crossing. 9. There are many areas of the City of Fridley which are inadequately served by sidewalks or trails. In addition, folks who use cycling as a major source of transportation have pointed out that the City lacks good cycling routes consistently through the City. Since there are infrastructure maintenance and environmental advantages to getting folks using bikes or walking instead of cars for transportation,the City needs to seek ways to economically provide walking and biking access across the city. Action Step: Besides multi-modal studies of certain intersections stated previously,an analysis of all bike/pedestrian connection needs in the City should be completed. This study should rank needs, giving priority for providing safe routes to schools,public facilities, and mass transit. The ranking of need could then be compared to the feasibility of a particular solution,the cost to implement the solution, and the availability of funding to correct the problem. In addition,new future problem areas could be avoided if the City ensures that plans for any future road reconstruction projects are reviewed with pedestrians in mind in addition to vehicles to ensure that the proposed plans do not worsen pedestrian or cycling safety at an intersection. 10. Another traffic safety concern in Fridley is the f , � � -.� �� "��, � �;�;., need far additional vehicular lanes and a �'�' ��#'�'�� ' y�y�" � r,.� � .. � t�� '�� ,� pedestrian/bike trail on Highway 65 across Moore ` � " y . `� .,.:`� `� s ' { = Lake.

Consideration should be given to older drivers in design and implementation. 6.12 Summary Transportation planning for the future of Fridley and the region in general is critical to maintaining the desired quality of life. Transportation plays an important role in attaining the community's collective vision by linking neighborhoods in a creative,safe, convenient and attractive manner. While the projected growth in the region will likely bring added congestion to Fridley's major roadways,this plan strives to improve the safety of major roadway intersections and increase the use of public transportation. Fridley's transportation plan will continue to manage,preserve,and maintain the existing roadway network and expand the mobility alternatives available to the community. 115 - AGENDA ITEM ��r� CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF �;,;' Fridley JUNE 8, 2015 Date: June l,2015 To: Walter T. Wysopal, City Man From: Scott Hickok,Community Development Director Subject: Receive Columbia Arena Report and Recommendation from Citizens Introduction The Fridley Columbia Arena, Corridor Development Initiative, Summary Report and Final Recommendations has been attached for Council's review and receipt. Background On December 4, 2014,the Housing and Redevelopment Authority approved hiring Twin Cities LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation)to assist in the public engagement process and to assist citizens of Fridley with the assembly of a recommendation for the redevelopment of the Columbia Arena. Gretchen Nicholl's and Barbara Raye lead the process for LISC and successful}y lead the citizens through a consensus building process to articulate what it is that they as a group would like to see as an outcome of the redevelopment of the Columbia Arena Site. Three goals were articulated as essential in the recommendation. These goals are: l. To preserve and enhance the amenities of the area through greater connectivity 2. To create an area that is unique and special that serves to provide new elements that aren't currently available in the community. • 3. To make public use work, advance a public/private partnership that benefits the community, which might include: • Residential Development • Small lot or townhome options • Consider non-traditional types of housing such as senior coops • A mix of mid-density housing options • Space Dedicated for special uses such as farmer's markets, outdoor theater, or music • To serve as a buffer between the industrial area to the north and the rest of the site, reconfigure the public works facilities and potentially relocate the City Hall and other City services (Police and Fire) • A multi-generational community center which could include rental spaces(this is an option only if Scenario C expands the use of land for redevelopment, although there is disagreement). 116 In their discussion,the citizen group discussed an 11 acre, 22 acre, and 33 acre development option. The 22 acre option(Option B)and the 33 acre option(Option C)received the most citizen votes. Scenarios B or C may provide an opportunity to create a new Fridley civic center by co-locating and coardinating city services(City Hall, Fire, Police, and Public Works), and creating an exciting town center of residential, retail and offices and promotes walk ability and offers space for community gathering and events. The existing public works facility would not be a good neighbor to new residential in its current layout and type, positioning the city buildings on the north edge of the site would provide a buffer from the industrial uses. Though voting was very close,the majority of citizens in attendance at the meetings favored a 22 acre option (Option B)that left the 11 acre park, south of the arena, as a park. Recommendation Staff recommends that Council receive the Fridley Columbia Arena, Corridor Development Initiative, Summary Report and Final Recommendations. This report will serve as a basis for further Council discussion and consideration as redevelopment plans for the Columbia Arena Advance. Once received by Council,this version will also be posted on the City's web site for public consumption. 117 K � ;� � --- � { , ��'".+F �"'�'" � i��`s �-�. �'� . .

Fridley H`lp'»g��P^��+P� Columbia Arena site: Creating something Grand Surrounded by a rich array of natural amenities (Locke Park,Rice Creek,trails and sports fields), and transit amenities such as the nearby Northstar commuter train station major bus lines and easy access to a major free- way,the location offers great potential for something grand. The redevelopment opportunity of the Columbia Arena site(11 acres) is even further enhanced by the surrounding sites,which are also publicly owned.The current public facilities site(11 acres)and an adjoining park with soccer fields(11 acres)provide a"once in a lifetime" opportu.nity for an aggregated parcel of 33 acres. Home of the Mighty Ducks,the Columbia Arena has long been an iconic and loved symbol for the Fridley com- munity. With memories of hockey games and other noteworthy events,the arena will always be cherished. But with years of deterioration and neglect,unable to resuscitate the facility,the City of Fridley purchased the site in 2014 because of the unique development opportunity it offered. With the purchase of the Columbia Arena, along with the public works and park site,redevelopment of up to 33 acres is unique opportunity for Fridley to upgrade its image and attract development that would enhance the City. 1 ' COLUMBIA ARENA,FRIDLEY:Development Guidelines 118 � 7 s ' , �� . ::J.. i . �x..�� ;� .J { '� F`' :S .K a: r ,' --�-_'_- � �� .:�� .,�� u:. - ,1, i �.� �{,� �� „�,�1'.

Above: Some of the amenities located in Fridley. Clockwise fi'om l to r: Medtronic, Rice Creek, Moore Lake, and the the Northstar Commuter Rail Station. ASSETS The broader city of Fridley offers: • A strong network of 38 recreational city parks,the Springbrook Nature Center, an array of natural amenities such as Moore Lake,Locke Lake, Rice Creek and the Mississippi River, and regional trails for biking and walking are available to appeal to families of all ages. • Major employers such as Medtronic(opezational headquarters), Cummins,Unity Hospital,BAE Systems and Target. • Strong commercial and industrial areas that provide over 25,000 jobs and tax base. • University Avenue with accessibility to bus stops. • Convenient to both St.Paul and Minneapolis, as well as the airport. • A wealth of community resources, including four public school districts and three private schools, a community center,many churches,transportation options,and other community services. 2 COLUMBIA ARENA,FRIDLEY:Developmeni Guidelines 119 NfAXIMIZING THE POTENTIAL OF THE SITE A strong community vision is needed to guide the future of the site. This document serves to recommend com- munity goals and objectives for what could be achieved, and informed by market realities of redevelopment. Key questions to be asked include: 1.)

Recommendation:Work to recover as much of the public investment as possible,but be prepared to provide some public support(e.g.TIF,finance support, etc.)to ensure the City and community can achieve their goals. The public investment made to acquire and clear the Columbia Arena site for redevelopment is appmximately $3.4M. The decision to incur additional public costs(e.g. upgrade or replace the existing City Hall,upgrade or relocate the existing public works facility, pedestrian bridge over University Avenue, infrastructure improve- ments to the site, street reconfiguration, etc.)will be calculated and considered. 3.)How to attract a quality developer(s) to partner with the City? , Recommendation: Define a strong vision for the site that responds to community needs and priorities listed below,and subrnit an RFQ (Request for Qualifications)to identify a private pariner. Once a private partner(s) is established,they will work closely with the City and community to co-create the site plan and land use compo- nents. 4 COLUMBIA ARENA,FRIDLEY:Developmeni Guidelines 121 �l, t ��. ;: 1 i x � � I �� '�."

DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES The focus area includes (scenario A, B, or C): • The Columbia Arena site(11 acres) . • The Fridley public works facility site(11 acres) • The park/soccer fields(11 acres) All sites are publicly owned by the City of Fridley. Surrounded by natural and recreational amenities, as well as residential and industrial uses,the site offers the opportunity to better coordinate and enhance the broader area. (For scenarios B or C)By reconfiguring the public and private portions, it would be possible to reclaim the wetland to create a water feature, and reposition buildings on more solid ground. The(scenario B, or C)acre site may provide an opportunity to create a new Fridley civic center by co-locating and coordinating city services (City Hall, fire,police,public works), and creating an exciting town center of residential,retail and offices that promotes walkability and offers space for community gathering and events. T'he existing public works facility would not be a good neighbor to new residential housing in its current layout and type. Positioning the city buildings on the north edge of the site would provide a buffer from the industrial uses. A key concern is access to the area,which is currently severely constricted to one access point onto University Avenue. Better and more access points would be needed to allow accessibility in the area to flow easily. Another enhancement would be to better connect both sides of University Avenue through a pedestrian bridge or underpass to link up the amenities on either side. A key goal is to utilize the site to create new assets for the community that will enable the City of Fridley to continue to thrive and prosper. As demographic trends show a continued aging of the population, it will be critical to find housing options that respond to their changing needs. And to attract young families (Millenials) who are often saddled with a lot of student debt, and typically have less financial capacity than;previous generations. Research shows that Millenials are often looking for smaller lots, with shared ope�space and access to jobs without owning cars. To achieve the full potential of the site,the City will need to work proactively with developers (e.g. identify strategies for shared parking, coordinated and complementary uses, attract and retain needed retail and services, safe and effective tra�'ic flow,etc.).The components of the Columbia Arena expanded site should be complementary with the greater neighborhood. 5 COLUMBIA ARENA,FRIDLEY:Development Guidelines 122 � . --�, �4 '� Y�p} '� �:Y,P e��Y"'� .�� w'' t '�i ... � " �'• � �� .:.�: il ��' °{t��ffi� ' .. .. � i �M ��'^" �!h �� j�p�°. `x �� J w � �,i�".� �� ; i �, �� N� , J � �� 7r f:•: �� , ,�" ,.-�-_=-� '��+-�r'�'. __ . -- � ' _ r - - -» �� _ � St a�'i.�.� �' � $ 1 c �`,'ti+� c �w .. .!� '�'' � . __ .�.,.. ` F �.. . �; . �4n .�+t;.« �.'�i 3 Z ��`'�� _ � _ t1'.

Recommendations for redevelopment of the Columbia Arena expanded site include: Goal l: Preserve and enhance the amenities of the area through greater connectivity A. Utilize the opportunity to reconfigure the larger site to daylight the natural wetland and water features. B. Strengthen the existing trail system through new connections and access. C. Consider rain gardens and other natural features—restore wetlands when possible. D. Enhance the walk-ability and bike-ability of the area by incorporating destinations(e.g farmers market, cafe or ice cream shop, amphitheater or gazebo,pond to walk around, art attraction,music, etc.). E. Maximize open space to the greatest extent possible. F. Include elements that enhance the area as a unique and special place. G. Improve water quality. H. Consider utilizing solar technology for use by the buildings on the site and possibly for the community. I. Incorporate design that increases safery (Crime Prevention T'hrough Environmental Design-CPTED). Goal 2: Create an area that is unique and special that serves to provide new elements that aren't currently available in the community O. Incorporate public art and high quality design for visual appeal. P. Utilize design to designate public and private spaces, and ensure public access to trails and parks. Q. No huge parking lots or paid parking, and limit on-street parking. R. Consider design elements and aesthetics that enhance trairsit and bike uses. S. Consider impact on existing neighborhood character, single- family homes, and industrial uses in the immediate vicinity. Goa13: To make public use work,advance a public/private partnership that benefits the community, which might include: • Residential development,with the option of small scale commercial and/or office(mixed use). • Small lot or townhome options to provide housing options for seniors and younger families. • Consider non-traditional housing types, such as senior co-ops. • A mix of mid-density housing options that can accommodate a range of income and age levels. • Space dedicated for special uses such as farmers markets or outdoor theater and music(public gathering places). • To serve as a buffer between the industrial area to the north and the rest of the site,reconfigure the public works facilities and potentially relocate the City Hall and other city services (fire and police). • A multi-generational community center which could include rental spaces (this is an option only if Scenario C expands the use of land for redevelopment, although there's disagreement).

F��'�' H�,��p,,,,,p�, Submit�ed by.•Gretchen Niaholls,Twin Gties I1SC lune2015 Summary The City of Fridley HRA enlisted the Twin Cities LISC's Corridor Development Initiative(CDI)to facilitate a series of community workshops from March to Apri12015 to identify development guidelines for the Colwnbia Arena site, with the option to include adjacent city owned sites to the north(public works facility) and east (park land). The development guidelines will be presented to the Fridley City Council (June 8,2015)and HRA (June 4, 2015) for their consideration. The Corridor Development Initiative offers an opportunity for the cornmunity to help guide future development rather than simply react to specific development proposals. When the Fridley HRA purchased the deteriorated Columbia Arena site,the CDI process was identified as a way to engage the community and create a vision for what was possible. Given that the arena was unsalvageable, what would the community like to see in its place? 124 �. - �, �� -•-�- ari�::_', s . _. . i, .. �.-. �!. %� . �^ _ .� .. .�Lr.c � � � " i ` � f_. , � :. � �fa r�.f . + � - -- 2 : � - a' _ _, � .. .. - . :i t+ � 1 2: .T.i. �.

Columbia Arena site: Creating something Grand Surrounded by a rich array of natural amenities(Locke Park, Rice Creek,trails and sports fields), and transit amenities such as the nearby Northstar commuter train station major bus lines and easy access to a major freeway,the location offers great potential for something grand. T'he redevelopment opportunity of the Columbia Arena site (11 acres) is even further enhanced by the surrounding sites, which are also publicly owned. The current public facilities site (11 acres) and an adjoining park with soccer fields(11 acres)provide a "once in a lifetime" opportunity for an aggregated parcel of 33 acres. Home of the Mighty Ducks,the Columbia Arena has long been an iconic and loved symbol for the Fridley community. With memories of hockey games and other noteworthy events,the arena will always be cherished. But with years of deterioration and neglect,unable to resuscitate the facility,the City of Fridley purchased the site in 2014 because of the incredible development opportunity it offered. With the purchase of the Columbia Arena, along with the public works and park site,redevelopment of up to 33 acres is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Fridley to upgrade its image and attract development that would enhance the entire City.

Overview of the Corridor Development Initiative Process: The Conidor Development Initiative consisted of four community workshops held at the Fridley Community Center. Approximately 125 community members attended the workshops(with a CDI record breaking attendance of 86 at the fourth and final workshop), aimed at gathering input on community values and concerns, and assessing likely development scenarios that could meet those values. The process involved a technical team of facilitators, designers, developers, and city staffto inform and support participants as they explored ideas. Resulting from the process was an increased understanding by participants about the range of options the sites offer, and identified ways that redevelopment could enhance the area for future and current residents. The purpose of the CDI process is to identify guidelines or objectives for redevelopment that will advance community goals and respond to market forces. Community Outreach A variety of inethods were used to notify the community about the Fridley Columbia Arena Corridor Development Initiative workshops. Information about the public workshops was distributed through: •A direct mailing of"Save the Date"postcards-announcing the series of workshops to the neighborhood (city-wide) •300 flyers distributed to the surrounding neighborhood. •Advertisements on the city's cable network. •Articles in the Sun Focus newspaper. •The City of Fridley web site Child caze and translatior�services were available upon request to limit obstacles for participation. All participants that signed in for any of the workshops were notified in advance about upcoming sessions by email.

Participants were asked to respond to four questions: 1.) What makes the Columbia Arena area interesting or unique? � Themes: Amenities, parks,Rice Creek, size of the site, location,visibility, access,proxirnity to transit. 2.) What could be accomplished through development that would improve or enhance the area? Themes: Housing options, commercial uses,public facilities/town center,recreation, environtnental improvements, create options for different age groups, increase tax base, improve appearance and access. 3.) What concerns for the area do you have as future development occurs? Themes: Achieving a successful project,housing, commercial and office uses,noise,traf�'ic flow and parking, appearance, safety,and reducing parks and green space. Summary Report and Final Recommendations Fridley Columbia Arena� Corridor Development Initiative 127 4 4.)Are there specific types of uses that this site could accommodate (e.g. senior housing, recreational centers, retail or commercial uses, etc.)? Themes: Housing, commercial and office,parks and green space, public facilities/town center, and a mix of uses. Wor ho�II: DeveloumeAt O�Rortunities—Block Exercise Wednesday, March 25, 2015 Participants worked at three tables with different site scale options to explore different development scenarios: Table A: Columbia Arena site only Table B: Columbia Arena plus adjacent site to the east(park land) Table C: All three parcels (Columbia Arena,Public Works facility, and park land) The scenarios were presented to the large group,and everyone discussed what they learned through the exercise. It was frustrating for participants to see how difficult it was to make a development financially viable while maintaining a high degree of park land and public amenities in the area. Workshon III: Develo�er Discussion Wednesday,April 8,2015 Developer Panelists include: • George Sherman, Sherman Associates • David Newman,The Bancor Group • David Deebach,Pulte Group • Alan Arthur,Aeon • Cathy Bennett,ULI MN/Roseville intergenerational housing project Panelists, representing a variety of development expertise (single family housing, townhomes, affordable and mazket rate apartments, senior housing, commercial, and mixed-use development), responded to questions from participants and provided information on the challenges and opportunities of redevelopment for the study area. All agreed that a mix of housing options and a sma11 amount of commercial and maybe office would be a good fit for the location. The challenge will be to find the right balance between public uses and private invest- ment. The natural amenities in the area are a strong draw for residential uses. One of the takeaways was that to achieve the level of amenities that the community desired,the City would need to work closely with private developers to optimize the site, and that public subsidies would likely be needed. Warksh�IV: Framing Recommendations Wednesday,Apri122,2015 - Draft development guidelines were reviewed and edited by participants to reach consensus for the final recom, mendations(Attachment A). A strong community vision is needed to guide the future of the site. The Fridley Columbia Arena CDI Develop- ment Guidelines serve to recommend community goals and objectives for what could be achieved,informed by market realities of redevelopment. To help inform the City's decision process,three key questions were posed: Summary Report and Final Recommendations Frid{ey Columbia Arena� Corridor Devetopment tnitiative 12$ 5 1.) Which of the three scenarios is most preferred? Support was expressed for all three scenarios: strong support for C, with the majority supporting B. A — Small site B — Medium site C — Large cite Columbia Arena site Cofumbia Arena site + Columbia Arena site + only (11 acres) the pub{ic work facility pubiic warks facility site site (22 acres} — + ad�acent park land Coutd tocate a City Hall excludes the park (33 acres} Maintains existing public May include a new cfvic May include a clvic works facility to the center (city ha{I, fire, center {city hall, flre, north police, public works or poltce, publtc works or other configurations) other configurations) A large public use could Greatest potential to reduce options for reconfigure or integrate private development public space throughout (and perhaps the site (e.g. tratls, development interest) water feature, soccer flelds, etc.) Preserving family park and public activity space (approximately 11 acres� Water fllter plant would need to rematn where it is on the frontage of the park site 2.) How should the City weigh the need to generate additional taz base (private development),with the willingness of taxpayers to pay more tazes (to enhance additional amenities and community uses)? Reco»unendation: Work to recover as much of the public investment as possible,but be prepazed to provide some public support(e.g. TIF,finance support, etc.}to ensure the City and community can achieve their goals. The public investment made to acquire and clear the Columbia Arena site for redevelopment is approximately $3.4M. The decision to incur additional public costs (e.g. upgrade or replace the existing City Hall, upgrade or relocate the existing public works facility,pedestrian bridge over University Avenue, infrastructwe improvements to the site, street reconfiguration, etc.) will be calculated and considered. Summary Report and Finai Recommendations Fridley Columb+a Arena� Corridor Development Initiative 129 6 3.)What is needed to attract a quality developer(s) to p�rtner with the City? Recommendation: Define a strong vision for the site that responds to community needs and priorities listed below, and submit an RFQ(Request for Qualifications)to identify a private partner. Once a private partner(s) is established, they will work closely with the City and community to co-create the site plan and land use components. Community Participation Workshop participants were largely residents from the immediate and surrounding area. Fridley city staff also attended, as well as city oi�icials. 48%of attendees participated in 2 or more of the workshops, and 18 out of 125 participants (14%) attended all fow. Evaivation Summary of the CDI process Evaluation forms were distributed at each of the four meetings (March 11,March 25,Apri18, and Apri122, 2015.)As mentioned earlier, attendance at these meetings was far greater than the number of evaluation surveys submitted. Although,the majority of participants did not complete a feedback form,the information from those that did was used to plan the next session and to bring forwazd additional information requested.A total of 81 surveys were returned throughout the four-meeting series. From session one we received 27 surveys, 15 from session 2, 1 S from session 3,and 21 from session four. Meeting Goals Each set of evaluation questions included satisfaction questions, as well as an assessment of how well the meet- ing met its goals,what additional information the respondent would like to see provided at the next meeting, and an opportunity for open comments. The answers to questions related to the meeting achieving its goals were ratings of"Excellent", "Good", "Fair" and"Poor". • Of the total 107 responses from the evaluation of ineeting one, 74 (70%)were "Excellent", 31 (29%) were"Good", and 2 (1%)were "Fair."No one ranked meeting one as poor in achieving any of its goals. • Of the 61 responses from the evaluation of ineeting two,20(33%)were "Excellent",25 (41%)were "Good", 8 (13%) were "Fair", and 8 (13%)were "Poor." The "Poor"ratings for this session can be directly linked to the large number of participants. We asked if each member was able to understand the financial viability of their project and if design considerations were discussed at the tables. The large attendance made these two things less feasible, given the time limit of the meeting itself. • Of the 74 responses to the rating questions for meeting three,48 (65%) were "Excellent", 23 (31%) were"Good" or"Fair" , and 3 (4%)were "Poor" • In the final meeting there were only 21 forms ret�irned,yet over XXX people attended. Eighty-six percent of those responding indicated they could support the final recommendations, 91%would recommend the series to other citiesJcommunities, and 91%were very to somewhat satisfied with the overall project. Only 1 person indicated a"very dissatisfied"rating for the entire project. Open Comments Each evaluation form also included opportunity for open-ended comments.A sampling of comments is included from each meeting.

Demogrnphics The majority of participants that responded to the surveys have been long-term Fridley residents of 20 years or more. However,there were some residents from each of the categories of 1-3 years,4-9 years, and 10-19 years. The largest group of people attending was seniors. However there were also participants in the categories of `�oung adult"and"adult." Summary Report and Final Recommendations Fridley Columbia Arena� Corridor Development Initiative 131 8 Conclusion The Corridor Development Initiative workshops focused on the potential for redevelopment for alternative scenarios provided by three sites: • The Columbia Arena site(11 acres) • The Fridley public works facility site(11 acres) • The park/soccer fields (11 acres) All three sites are publicly owned by the City of Fridley. Surrounded by natural and recreational amenities, as well as residential and industrial uses, the site offers the opportunity to better coordinate and enhance the broader area. By reconfiguring the public and private portions, it would be possible to reclaim the wetland to create a water feature, and reposition buildings on more solid ground. A multiple-site scenario may provide an opporiunity to create a new Fridley civic center by co-locating and coordinating city services(City Hall,fire, police, public works), and creating an exciting town center of residential, retail and of�'ices that promotes walkability and offers space for community gathering and events. The existing public works facility would not be a good neighbor to new residential housing in its cunent layout and type. Positioning the city buildings on the north edge of the site would provide a buffer from the industrial uses. A key concem is access to the area, which is currently severely constricted to one access point onto University Avenue. Better and more access points would be needed to allow accessibility in the area to flow easily. Another enhancement would be to better connect both sides of University Avenue through a pedestrian bridge or underpass to link up the amenities on either side. A key goal is to utilize the site to create new assets for the community that will enable the City of Fridley to continue to thrive and prosper. As demographic trends show a continued aging of the population, it will be critical to find housing options that respond to their changing needs. And to attract young families (Millennials) who aze often saddled with a lot of student debt, and typically have less financial capacity than previous generations. Research shows that Millennials aze often looking for smaller lots, with shazed open space and access to jobs without owning cars. To achieve the full potential of the site,the City will need to work proactively with developers(e.g. identify strategies for shazed parking, coordinated and complementary uses,attract and retain needed retail and services, safe and effective traffic flow, etc.). The components of the Columbia Arena expanded site should be complementary with the greater neighborhood. The Corridor Development Initiative submits the attached recommendations to the Fridley City Council and HRA for your consideration regarding the Columbia Arena and adjoining city-owned sites. neighborhood. For exarnple,the desire for a local grocery store continues. Perhaps a non-traditional solution could be identified for the larger Glen Lake neighborhood, such as a food cooperative (e.g. Lakewinds) and smaller grocery store/pharmacy option. A previous market study conducted by the City revealed that a grocery store would in fact be viable in the area. Given the market constraints of the area, there are opportunities for creative solutions with smaller retail concepts, and agreement not to sacrifice great for good.

Top: Columbia Arena, Bottom le,ft:Park and soccer fields, Bottom right:Public Works facility. 2.)How to weigh the need to generste additional taz base(private development),with the willingness of taxpayers to pay more tazes(to enhance additional amenities aad community uses)? Recomrnendation:Work to recover as much of the public investment as possible,but be prepared to provide some public support(e.g. T'IF,finance support, etc.)to ensure the City and community can achieve their goals. The public investment made to acquire and clear the Columbia Arena site for redevelopment is appro�umately $3.4M. The decision to incur additional public costs(e.g.upgrade or replace the existing City Ha11,upgrade or relocate the existing public works facility,pedestrian bridge over University Avenue,infrastructure improve- ments to the site, street reconfiguration, etc.)will be calculated and considered. 3.)How to attract a quality developer(s)to partner with the City? Recommendation:Define a strong vision for the site that responds to community needs and priorities listed below, and submit an RFQ(Request for Qualifications)to identify a private pa.rtner. Once a private partner(s)is established,they will work closely with the City and community to co-create the site plan and land use compo- nents. ,q COLUMBIA ARENA,FRIDLEY:Development Guidelines Summary Report and Final Recommendations Fridley Columbia Arena� Corridor Development Initiative 137 14 �l � - �� I i � `'� .�: ' i .'_ .

Above left:Housing development under corrsiruction on University Avenue.Above right:Fridley City Hall. DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES The focus area includes(scenario A,B, or C): • The Columbia Arena site(11 acres) • The Fridley public works facility site(11 acres) • The park/soccer fields(11 acres) All sites are publicly owned by the City of Fridley. Surrounded by natural and recreational amenities, as well as residential and industrial uses,the site offers the opportunity to better coordinate and enhance the broader area. (For scenarios B or C)By reconfiguring the public and private poriions, it would be possible to reclaim the wetland to crea.te a water feature,and reposition buildings on more solid ground. The(scenario B, or C)acre site may provide an opportunity to create a new Fridley civic center by co-locating and coordinating city services(City Hall,fire, police,public works), and creating an exciting town center of residential, retail and offices that promotes walkability and offers space for community gathering and events. The existing public works facility would not be a good neighbor to new residential housing in its current layout and type. Positioning the city buildings on the north edge of the site would provide a buffer from the industrial uses. A key concern is access to the area,which is cunendy severely_constricted to one access point onto University • Avenue. Better and more access points would be needed to a11ow accessibility in the area to flow easily. Another enhancement would be to better connect both sides of University Avenue through a pedestrian bridge or underpass to link up the amenities on either side. A key goal is to utilize the site to create new assets for the community that will enable the City of Fridley to continue to thrive and prosper. As demographic trends show a continued aging of the population, it will be critical to find housing options that respond to their changing needs. And to attract young families(Millenials) who are often saddled with a lot of student debt, and typically have less financial capacity than previous generations. Research shows that Millenials are often looking for smaller lots,with shared open space and access to jobs without owning cars. To achieve the full potential of the site,the City will nced to work proacrively with developers(e.g. identify strategies for shazed parking, coordinated and complementary uses,attract and retain needed retail and services, safe and eff�ctive traffic flow, etc.).The components of the Columbia Arena e�anded site should be complementary with the greater neighborhood. 5 COLUMBIA ARENA,FRIDLEY:Development Guidelines Summary Report and Final Recommendations Fridley Cotumbia Arena� Corridor Development Initiative 13g �5 x �Y � ,��,� � '� �. � � rr -�� a X .�� + ,��_ r p ' �' �� Jv��•:� a�;., x ��a �. � a •� �� ,� �� •�, �� «r �� a� �- e t..� . � 1"'"i�,.�t� .,� f _ - F'i`�,+7 r!-' � rY :�� i: 1 ,�' '�x�x� '� � y - - .y�w"°aa'-t..l�'��'��' - - _ ��,-��:.� - - ...-. _, :ti ��-._� .i_ �5. � - r - r�,.�w:.; $�', �'��r___.. _, _ _- - _. _'�"�<., � _ .`.""� ,�-,�'-.�-,�`,.�,,�. ,��"� i:s. � ''�`'� n'. w, ; �' . ,, �y .,- '�'+�" , �'�:♦ � . . ,. . . . . �_ .,, � '.' - �,^ a ,. ,� . ; �., ;,,.. ;, . ._ � : < �y ' ��.-�:� ,. . - - � _ .W_��`� . - ° - Elbove: Trail along the Northstar Commuter�Zail line. Recommendations for redeveloprr�ent of the Columbla Arena expanded site include: Goal 1: Preserve and enhance the amenities of the area through greater connectivity A. Urilize the opportunity to reconfigure the larger site to daylight the nahual wefland and water features. B. Strengthen the existing trail system through new connections and access. C. Consider rain gardens and other natural features—restore wedands when possible. D. Enhance the walk-ability and bike-ability of the area by incorporating destinations(e.g farmers market, cafe ar ice cream shop, amphitheater or gazebo,pond to walk around, art attraction, music, etc.). E. Maximize open space to the geatest extent possible, F. Include elements that enha.nce the area as a unique and special place. G. Improve water quality. H. Consider utilizing solar technology for use by the buildings on the site and possibly for the community. I. Incorporate design that increases safety (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Desi�n-CPTED). Goa12: Create an area that is unique and special that serves to provide new elements that aren't currently available in the community O. Incorporate public art and high quality design for visual appeal. P. Utilize design to designate public and private spaces, and ensure public access to trails and parks. Q. No huge parking lots or paid parking, and limit on-street parking. R. Consider design elements and aesthetics that enhance transit and bike uses. S. Consider impact on existing neighborhood character, single-family homes, and industrial uses in the immediate vicinity. Goal 3: To make pu6lic use work,advance a public/private partners6ip that beneSts the community, which might include: • Residential development, with the option of small scale commercial and/or office(mixed us,e). • Small lot or tovunhome options to provide housing options for seniors and younger families. • Consider non-traditional housing types, such as senior co-ops. • A mix of mid-density housing options that can accommodate a range of income and age levels. • Space dedicated for special uses such as farmers markets or outdoor theater and music(public gathering places). • To serve as a buffer between the industrial area to the north and the rest of the site, reconfi,gure the public works facilities and potentially relocate the City Hall and other city services(fire and police). • A multi-generational community center which could include rental spaces (this is an option only if Scenario C expands the use of land for redevelopment, although there's disagreement).

Develoa�r Panel Discussion Facflitated by Barbara Raye,Center f.or Policy Planning and Performance Panel Members: • Da�rid Deeb�ch, Pulte Group • David Nawr�an,The BaneYor Group • Alan Atthur,Aeon • George Shetman,Sherrman Assoctatrts • Cathy Bennett,Urban Land fnstitu�e of MN Fridley Columbia srena CDI—Developer Panel Discussion Page 1 of l Summary Report and Final Recommendations Fridley Columbia Arena� Corridor Development Initiative 160 37 Opening Questfons: 1. What is your development expertise? 2. How would you redevelop the Columbia Arena site? 3. What would you consider to be the greatest challenges and opportunities for the area? David Deebath. Pulte Group • Pulte Hbmes merged with Centex in 1979. David's specialty is purchasing land,and going through municipal process to proceed with residential construction. The last ten years have been di�cult with the tough economy. Housing is still sluggish(still recovering). David applauded the City for going through this exercise for the Columbia Arena site. Most cities don't provide this type of input. • Reaommendations fior#he site:Mid-densfty housing(townhomes)snd mbced-use. o This is a great spot for housing with parks atl around. o Fantastic opportunity to attract families wi#h children—both active and passive park space. o Incredible site for mid-der�sity housing and a mix of commercial and residential uses(mixed- use)—not a good site for sfngle family housing. o Consider townhomes—market or age-targeted buyers(active/empty nesters)who want maintenance free living. o Townhomes haven't been built since 2007 (used to do 300 per year)—starting again in New Brighton. o Townhomes are typically 8-10 units per acre,so an 11 acre site could offer 75—90 townhome units. o NOTE:The public�vorks facility would be an adverse situation for residential uses Dave Newman,The Barxor Group • Dave grew up in Fridtey a third of a mile away from the site. He chaired the City's Planning Commission for four yea�,and served on the School Board for four years. He is the owner of The Bancor Group,which does single family residenti�l. • Rea�mmendation f�or the afte: Two options:i.)Single family homes on small bt,or 2.) Townhomes{more dense). o The park is a wonderful amenity,includin$the trail system. The ability to tie it more together would create an even greater asset. o Single family homes on small lots would attract young families,and townhomes would help empty nesters graduate out of their single family homes to allow young families to move in. Alan Arthur,Aeon • Alan is the President and Cf0 of.Aeon,a non-profit developer of affordable and mixed income residential projects throughout the region,which also offers expertise in historic preservation and sustainable development. • Reaommendation fior the site:Apartments and townhomes. o Parks are a great amenity. It will be important to connect the parks through the site,do development along the edges o Design has a bigger impact than density. o What's it going to be?11 acre, 22 acre,or 33 acre site? . 0 33 acres would offer an incredible opportunity—so much flexibility to crea#e a mix of elements. frid�ey Columbia Arena CDI—Developer Panel Discussion Page 2 of 7 Summary Report and Final Recommendations Fridley Columbia Arena j Corridor Development Initiative 161 3s o Consider providing a mix of affordability,make room for everyone. o Many seniors can't afford to move out of their homes. To provide options for people you • need to be sure that the housing can accommodate all income leveis. Gear�e Sherman.Sherman Associates • Ge�rge is the Prinaiple o#Sherman Asso�ciates,which dces urban and suburban redevelopment for 35 years. They have$3.5 billion in redevelQpment. Predominately small mixed=use projects, with residential ranging from Migh=end to affordable,hotelS,office,and retail (e.g.grocery storesj. • Rerommendetion fio.r the slte:A mix of componeMs on the site such as for-s�le townhomes,a senior faciUiy,ofRce,and oommunity space(look at what the aommunity needs� o St�erman Assaciates has dc�ne a number of sites similar to this,such as the Falcon Heights Town Square,and in Downtown St. Paul which inciuded for-sale condos,retail,and senior housing. Also,the Burnsville Heart of tfie Ctty,which included Mousing,gfocery store,and an arts center(built by the City of Burnsville). ' o For-sale t�wnhome market has hot had as strong of a recovery a�projected. Construction prices are rising faster than the sales price. There has been a 10—1596 increase in construction pricing. o The rentai market is producing units with very high rents—not typical rentai market. TMey're build:i�g them for$148K per unit($1.95-$2 per square foot). o Properky taxes have a huge impact Qn making a project work. o Demographic bubble of 65 and over—need altemative housing options. o Vast majority of population can't afford current housing rents($2,p00/month), o Cansider building workforce housing(more affordable options). o Non-housing uses could include medical space—there is an expansioh in doctor/medical facilities. o New retail continues to be struggling. o Office market is wealc. The changing offi�e market reflects the fact that many p+eople are now working from home. o Agree that the 33 acre version would be the best route to maximize the opportunity. Cathv Bennett. Urban lat�d Ins#itute of MN • Cathy is not a developer, but works with developers through the Urban Land Institute,and sharing kTrowledge between public ahd private sectors to bptimize redevelopment. • RecommeEndation for the site: Hu�e oppor#uhity t�r Cky#o en#er it�to partnership with a prtwte devebper to aehieve goals. o Identify the tools that the City has to attract a d.eveloper,and incorporate the public goais intt�the project. o Growing demographic—aging papulation, 10%of those 75 and older are aging in place. From 2004—2011 the 75 and ol�ler age group grew'by 44%. Youhg�r people(25—3�)grew by 2%(the years of family forma#ion). Those under 25 dropped by 15%. o What is needed to regenerate the community? o Roseville�xample: T#�e City purchased a school site,and ran it as a communi#y center{15 acre—�acrea wre�e wetland), The community center was intended to be a temporary use, while theyworked to attract a corporate use,whiEfi never was accomplished. A master plan Fridley Golurr�bia Arena CDI—Developer Panel Discussion Page 3 of 7 Summary Report and Final Recommendations Fridley Columbia Arena� Corridor Development Initiative � 162 39 outlined the principles the community wanted through a phased develoRment(only the first phase of the development actually occurred). The City's Request for Proposais (RFP) attracted Uni#ed Properties to do a mix of housing. The City didn't want traditional assisted living. They were interested in senior cooperatives�96 units),and to add new families(7 small lot homes—two were Habitat for Humanity}. To attract the baby boomer generation they built 30 units of townhomes. The City negotiated the price of the land and infrastructure investments with the developer to be sure they achieved the goals. o Regenerate neighborhoods—special marketing was done to local r�sidents (90 day market exclusivety to Roseville for the new housing units). 30%of the units went to Roseville residents. o A program was established with a non-pro�it to purchase the single family homes that people were selling to renovate and resell ta first-time homebuyers. DISCUSSION What ane the toola#he Clty can use#o attrad�a developer� GS Financial assistance. One part of the project can support another part. More financial a5sistance (permanent financin$)is available for family housing, not for senior housing. I expect that the City wil!likely have a�nancial gap in the end. If you want to develop tfie site right, you will need to leave money on the table. It's good that the for-sale market is coming back. DN We didn't have the chailenge of stormwater 20 years a�o. Locke Paric is an important amenity to minimize those costs. How does Frid/ey attract fQmilfes7 � DD It's a misconception that destinations attract families. The number one requirement of young family buyers for single family housing is the school district. Not pools,tot lots,community rooms, trees,or granite countertops—iYs SCHOO LS. DN We have schools of excellence,a sma11 district. Great amenities are already here�trails,parks)— we don't need new amenities. Trails—we don't want to give up publk access. CB U U research shows the key priorities for what people want include: 1.) 92�G-neighborhood safety 2.} 79%-good schools 3.) 7096—walkability(valued at all age levels) Young generation needs housing that they can afford. Many are saddled with a lot of student debt—they don't have as much financial capacity as previous generations. What is the posaibl!!ty of mt�ced-uae� AA All developers want to do something granid. Fridley Columbia Acena CDI—Developer Panel Discussion Page 4 of 7 Summary Report and Fina)Recommendations Fridley Columbia Arena� Corridor Development Initiative 163 40 GS Most of our projects are mixed-use (office/housing/_retail). A community rec center/City Hall requires public investment. The predominate use i�typically housing,other uses compose 30— 40%. DN Housing well designed can be grend. CB City is in a position to make it grand. With control through their ownership,they can create a partnership path in coordination with private investor(s). The City is in a much better position to bring in a quality developer when they can offer some skin in the game. AA Clarity firom the eommunity about vuhat is expected sav�es everyone a lot of grief and time. DD Create something grand—the developer wants to do something grand,too. What 1s the oonstrudlvn oost jor o new townhomeP DD The construetion costs fpr a new townhomE is around$60—68 per square foot. Total Construction Costs inelude land,land development{grading,sewer,water,streets, landscaping, street lights,etc.)and soft costs such as legal,tax, interest and averhead. Therefore,the Total � Cost number is closer to$13U-$140 per sq uare foot(for a 1,700 sq ft townhame the approximate cost would be$221K-$238K). No 1nc�e�twe for peopk opinp in pla►ce to move—1t's not coat eJ`fadtve. AA 10,000 people per day are#uming 65. Seniors are the fastest growing group of homeless people. 1t's very hard to get senior affordable housing finaneed. DD The supply of forfeited properties(OREO) is deplet�d. First time homebuyers have r�othir�g to buy. Demand for townhomes are increasing. We'va h�eartl a 1Qt vj houslnp,but what are tlK non-houslrtp aptlona� DD If there is something the City desires,it can be accomplished�t a public ct�st. Carve out a public part of the larger development to serve�s an amenity. Be prudent on the impact it wi41 have on tax leaels generaied. 1Ne seetn Eo be dancfng arcand the qwes#�on—tl�e Ctfy needs dartty and v#sk►n. GS Developers aren't interested in participating in a ptoject without a rrisior�.The frustration isn't v�orth it for�he developer. AA Maptewood is an example of how not to do it. There was a lot of political upheaval as council members fought,new council members wete eleeted,city staff were fired and the Council hired their ffiends. It was a mess, We walked away frocn a pro�ect there because we could see that it would be a really I�ng time before anything could get dane. � fridleyColumbia Arena CDI—Developer Panel Discussion Page 5 of 7 Summary Report and Final Recommendations Fridley Columbia Arena� Corridor Development Initiative 164 41 DN A vision needs to be consistent with the marketplace. If you build it,they won't come. The Council has to trust the city staff to manage the project—don't miccamanage. It will require the City and developer to have a true partnership. Investments such as infrastructure and land use must complement each other. The staff drives the machine—works intir►iately with the developer to meet the goals. . CB Fridley staff are highly respected—the City is lucky to have them. !have o aon who i3/ooking for housJnp—downtown remal is vary expensive. Why donit they hav�e that kind of housfn�for ownenhlp7 . GS . 3,000 condos were built in the las#20 years,saturated the market. Townhomes are beginning to come back. The condo market is much slower. The cost/sales price is not in equilibrium. It may get better, but hasn't happened in the last ten years. The cost to buiid a townhome is$68 per sq ft. The eost to build a condo is$110—120 per sq ft. DD It's a function of supply and demand. We used�to see products like that in Uptown. Now the North Loop is the place to be—and can get the price points to accommodate the cost of new construction. There is not the same demand in the first and seeond ring suburbs. Concern aboat only one stop Ifpht—constrldlon of access to ths area.

Overview of the Corridor Development Initiative _ . LI Twin cities Corridor Develapment Initiative � overview The��rridor Dgvelopment Initiative(CDI),coordinated by the Twin Cities Local Initiatives Support Corporation(LISC),is a proactive planning process to assist the planning ' and developm�t of mixed-use projects,including moced income,higher density housing along major corridors,with access to tranaportation options, retail amenities, parks,and job opportunities. CDI fosters an exciting partnershlp among neighborhoods,city government,and a technical team of devebpment tonsultanu,design experts,and Facilitators to connect market opponunities with neighborhood and city goals and raises the level of dialogue around redevebpment issues.In 2007 the Corridor Devebpment Initiadve received the American Planning Association's National Planning Excellence Awud tor a Grassroots Initiative. "The Initiative shows the importance of getting residenu meaningfully�g�ged in shaping the future of their neighborhoods,"said APA Awards Jury Chair Carol Rhea,AICP."Any community looking for a new wa�to r�olve corwoversial neishborhood redevelopment and infill issues should consider using this as a model,"she said.
