this location to be north of the Town Crier Pancake House on property.owned presently
by Mr. Robert Schroer. He felt this would be a better location than the'one previously
requested on EAst River Road. He said the parcel is 1.6 acres and they planned to
construct a 6,000 square foot builidng. Mr. Smith indicated that he had met with the
City Finance Director, Mayor Nee and the applicant to instruct them of the City's policy
and the availability of revenue bonds. He said this is still being considered although
they believed they would obtain. conventional financing for the facility. He requested
the Council take action and approve the request for the special use permit with the
two stipulations of the Planning Commission.
Councilwoman Kukowski said she was very,happy that Mr. Stephens is not giving up
on locating a business in the City of Fridley.
Councilman Starwalt said he hoped the bonding issue would not be a stumbling block
in this request. Mr. Smith said the applicant had just been given the information
on the bonds and with the condition of the money market and the size of the project,
they planned to use conventional financing and the bonds may not be needed.
Mayor Nee asked if the plans for the building would come back and be processed through
the.Council and the City Manager said yes.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to grant the special use permit as requested by Win
Stephens Buick, Datsun Dealership, for 7810 University Avenue with the two stiptilations
recommended by the Planning Commission with the additional stipulation that the plans
be reviewed by the Council before the permit is issued. Seconded by Councilwoman
Kukowski. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried
unanimously.
TION OF A REQUEST FOR A BUILDNG PERMIT WITH WAIVER OF REQUIREMENT FOR
The Public Works Director explained the location of the property in question to be
at the south end of .'Siverts Lane off of 69th Avenue. He said this parcel has been
split off of Lot 3, Registered Land Survey #3. He said the total area of the property
is from 30,000 to 34,000 square feet. He explained that the other Lots D and E had
been approved for such waivers in the hook up of sewer and water services.
' The Public Works Director explained the following responses to the requests of the
City on the matter: Metropolitan Waste Control Commission said since no system is
available this would not 5e wit in er jurisdiction and up to the local discretion;
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, they have no rules and regulations pertaining
to private sanitary sewer and well systems, ihis is up to the local community; Department
pf Natural Resouces, at the present time, they have no jurisdiction, but are in the
process of prepa it ng a Shoreline Management Act, and this property complies with those
proposed regulations althought if it did not, they would -have no jurisdiction for
permits before the Shoreline Management Act is adopted; Rice Creek Watershed District,
they have approved of -the project after the revieai of the plans..
The Public Works Director said he thought the roadway installation should be taken
into account if this waiver is approved. He said there is an easement which was
required of the property owner to the south. He explained that the property to
the south is tax forfeit property and is included in the County Open Space Program.
He said if this waiver is granted, there would be no need for future services on
Siverts -Lane. He also explained that the City had received petitions from people in
the area who indicated they would not split their property. He said if this is
approved, the City should prepare plans for the improvement of the street. He said
the City has been helping with the maintenance of the street which is not the policy
of the City. He said if the maintenance is to continue, the improvement should
be completed. Mr. Sobiech said the recommendation of the administration would be
to approve the request with the stipulations listed on Page 6-A and 6-B of the agenda.
The Public Works Director said the petitioner was present at the meeting to answer
any questions.
Mr. Ing Siverts, Siverts Lane, addressed the Council and mentioned there was a provision
in the sale -of the adjoining property that stipulated that the house would not be higher
then -the Siverts' windows. Mayor Nee asked if this would be enforceable by the City.
Mr. Livingston, Calhoun Realty, said the buyer of the property is perfectly aware of
this stipulation and he had complied with it in preparation of the blue prints.
Mr. Siverts questioned if he would be assessed for this portion of the road improvement
'�,,� and the Public Works Director said yes.
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JUNE 9, 1975

PAGE 10 -
Mr. Sivert continued to explain the sale and splitting of this property and said that
he had dedicated the portion of the property for the utilities and roadway easement
and he had been paying taxes on this property for years.
The City Manager commented that if this is a roadway easement, he would not have to
pay taxes on the property. Mr. Sivert said he had been paying taxes on this portion
of property.
The City Manager explained the maintenance and plowing policy of the City and said
dirt roads or unimproved roads are generally not maintained by the City. He said
in this case, since the utilities had not been installed, the City had been maintaining
the road. He said with the waiver of the utilities installation, this is the last
property to be developed and it would-be possible to install the roadway. He mentioned
this would not be a full. roadway with curbing etc, because there are only three people
on the road and this would make the assessments excessive.
Mr. Sivert explained that the electric and gas lines are underground in this area.
He also explained that the water system for his property is located in the area
where the road would be installed. The City Manager said the costs would be kept
down becaus( only a limited number of people would be assessed. He said once the
improvements are installed, there would be no reason to deviate from the policy.
Mayor Nee asked if the City had a petition from the property owners in the area and
the Public Works Director said no.
Mr. Sivert suggested rather than develop the property in the manner proposed, could it
be picked up by the County-in'their open space program. The Public Works Director
pointed out that the property to the east is tax forfiet and Mr. Sivert questioned
the wording on the deeds of that property in that they are being held by the City
of Fridley.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to waive the requirloplent for sewer and water hook up as
requested by Mr. Verlyn Vander Lught with the stipulations listed on Pages 6-A and
6-B of the agenda and with the additional stipulations that the eye level stipulation
in the deed of the property be abserved in the construction of the home and that the
property owner, Mr. VanderLught pay a normal residential assessment for -his share
of the assessments for the construction of Siverts Lane or 75 feet. Seconded by
Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, 'all voting aye, -Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr. Vander Lught said he would agree to the payment of the assessments for 75 feet of
frontage.

ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REPORT
6840 Sievert°s Lane N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Minnesota Health Department Well Code, Chapter 217, Cl, ff, requires that
private wells less than 50 feet deep and not penetrating 10 feet of clay
must be 100 feet away from a private sewer system.
Public purpose served by this requirement is so the sewage disposal system
will function in a sanitary manner and will not create a nuisance nor
endanger the safety of any domestic water supply.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
This is the only location for the septic system on the lot according to
the soil engineers report.
C. ADMI14ISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Please refer to an attached letter from the Anoka County Comprehensive
Health Department. The stipulations in this letter should be part of
the approval of this request if approved. Also we feel that the well
should be tested before the private sewer system is installed and each
year thereafter.
It should be noted that the City Council is holding a public hearing on
November 19, 1979 for the purpose of determining if City water and sewer
will be extended to serve this lot. If approved, the owner will not
need this variance.

Dear Mr. Clark:
Reference is made to our earlier telephone discussion concerning the ap-
plication of Burton Smith for a variance from the 100 foot on-site sewer
system setback from a shallow well.
The purpose of the increased separation 0100 foot separationj between an
on-site sewer system and a shallow well is to insure adequate soil treat-
ment and dilution before any constituents of an on-site waste discharge
might reach a shallow well water supply. In the case of the Burton Smith
installation, it appears from information available, that the probable
ground water flow is from the area of the Sievert residence southward
past the Smith property, with discharge to the Rice Creek Valley. This
would mean that the ground water flow in the vicinity of this Smith on-
site sewer installation would not be towards the Sievert well but rather
away from the well towards the point of surface discharge. For this rea-
son, the increased 100 foot separation may riot be necessary.
Should the City consider approving this variance request, but still would
like to provide some assurance to future owners to these properties of
continued safety of the water supply, you may want to consider the follow-
ing conditions of variance:
1) The use of the shallow well serving the Sievert residence be lim-
ited to an owner occupied single family residence.
2) That the nature of the variance and the conditions of the variance
be recorded to title of both properties.
If I may be of any service to you, please feel free to call me.

(1) Where rock is encountered, i.e., consolidated as opposed to uncon-
solidated geological material, at a depth greater than 25 feet from the
surface the protective casing shall he equipped with a drive shoe which
shall he driven firmly into stable nock to provide a tight joint that will fire.
vent pollution or sand from entering the well. A drive shoe is not required
on a casing installed without driving and which is to be grouted with neat
cement or concrete in an oversized hole.
(2) Where rock is encountered within 25 feet of the surface, an over-
sized hole 4 nominal inches larger in diameter than the casing shall be
drilled and the casing sealed with neat cement grout to a sufficient depth to
exclude wader which is contaminated.
(3)In an arca where it well can tic developed only fn fractured, jointed,
but non cavcrnous rock, the casing may terminate in file formation it there is
at (cast 25 feet of sand or clay material above the rock, (here is no record of
this rock containing contaminated or {iolluled water, and geologic conditions
otter no natural direct surface or near surface water inlets into the rock
aquifer. Where there is Ics overburden or deeppecr strata will not produce
potable water, the administrative authority shall be cousolted and its written
approval obtained by the well owner for water treatment and well con-
struction features necessary to provide a safe water supply.
(h) Cavernous Rock WON
(1) Geological formations which are creviced or cavernous should not
tic
used as a source of ground water unless overlain by at lead 50 feet of
drift material and/or by a firm insoluble rock material extending for at
least one mile horizontal distance from file well in all directions to render
the movement of contaminated water in the formation to the well improbable.
the casing shall extend at least 10 feet l+dow the pumping Icvcl. 'she
acceptability from a sanitary standpoint of water obtained front a well
devcloped in such a protected faulty geological formation will be dependent
upon oc:mnent of the water if the need for such is indicated by analytical
studies of the writer.
(2) Wells Underlying Cavernous Hock. Where an adequate and safe
water supply is available in a geological formation overlain by one or more
faulty rock formations, all faulty rock formations should be completely
cased elf. the casing should extend at least 15 fret into the safe aquifer if
such exists, or at (cast 15 feet into a stable, insoluble, noncavcrnous or non -
creviced geological formation beneath the lowest faulty rock formation and
above the aquifer and at lent 10 feet below the pumping level. The drill
hole extending through the creviced rock formation and 15 feel into the
firm rack formation or aquifer should he at least 4 nominal inches larger in
diameter than the casing if welded construction is used, and 4 nominal inches
larger in diameter than the couplings if threaded joints are used. the annular
space shall be lilted with cement grout as provided in AIHD 220(c).
(3) protective Mantel Over Cavernous and Noncavernous Aquifer.
Where any faulty rock formation which overlies a safe aquifer is itself over -
lam by a protective mantle of drift, or by a firm insoluble consolidated forma-
tion of sulliefent depth and for a sullicicnt radius as described herein above
(MBD 220(h)(1)), the casing need not extend through the protected faulty
rock formation. 'I he casing shall also extend 10 feet below the pumping level.
The acceptability of water taken from a well so constructed will he depen-
dent upon treatment of the water, if the need for treatment is indicated by
analytical studies of the water.
(4) llic acceptability of the cavernous limestone for producing a safe
water supply may not be known until a well is drilled and the watrr analyzed.
in this cane an oversized hole cony be drilled into cavernous rock for later use
in drilling to a deeper sandstone or other acceptable aquifer. An oversized
hole %hall be 4 nominal inches larger in diameter than the casing liner and
couplings to be inserted for reaching the decrer aquifer. 'the smaller casing
shall he of sufficient diameter to insert a pump of sufficient capacity to lilt
water In die surface for the required supply. The casing shall also extend at
least 10 het below pumping level.
(5) Wells terminating in cavernous rock for withdrawal of water for
Purposes other than domestic or community water supply shall be grouted
in accordance with rude 220(c) to prevent vertical transfer of polluted or
contaminated water between aquifers.
(i) flowing Artesian WcBs
(1) flowing artesian wclh should lie constructed to prevent erosion of
the aquifer or the overlying confining mantel.°
(:) flow control from a flowing artesian well shall be provided,
cnn%istinp,itf valved pipe connection%, water -light pump connections or a
receiving Iank set at an nhilude corresponding to that of the artesian head.
'this provision will not be Interpreted so as to preclude liernsre% from attempting
to dull a uoi in n rimmg attetlan tire.,, when it is likely that a wafer well can

(hh) no board in consultation with the Survey may determine that
more Information Is required from specific areas for accuracy and doloil In
the State water Information system.
(toWater wall cutting samples will be required only whore there Is
reason to behave that a well will encounter bedrock materials below glacial

Ms. Gabel said the sign ordinance was just rewritten and the citizens had decided
the largest sign area they wante was 80 square feet. This sign was twice that amount.
Mr. Plemel felt there were too m ny signs on University Avenue in this area already and
doubling the allowed sign size w s flagrant of the citizen's desires. He also stated
the speed limit was only 45 mph,',the station.was located on the corner, therefore the
size should not make that much difference in attracting clients.
MOTION by Mr. Plemel, seconded b,Y Mr. Barna to recommend to City Council denial of
Variance Request to increase_ the
'3 square footage of a free standing sign from the .
maximum of 80 square feet to 16G square feet, located at 6071 University Avenue NE.,
because of the following reasons'I:
1. The size requested was, "ice the amount allowed by the sign ordinance.
2. Going against the ordinance would be a flagrant disregard of what the
citizens desired for the community.
3. Monetary costs should not be consir,.ered a hardship.

Public purpose served by this requirement is so the sewage disposal system
will function in a sanitary manner and will not create a nuisance nor
endanger the safety of any domestic water supply.
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
This is the only location for the septic system on the lot according to
the soil engineers report.
C. ADMI14ISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
Please refer to an attached letter from the Anoka County Comprehensive
Health Department. The stipulations in this letter should be partof
the approval of this request if approved. Also we feel that the well
should be tested before the private sewer system is installed and each
year thereafter.
It should be noted that the City Council is holding a public hearing on
November 19, 1979 for the purpose of determining if City water and sewer
will be extended to serve this lot. If approved, the owner will not
.need this variance.
MOTION by Mr. Barna, seconded by Mr. Plemel, to receive the letter from the Comprehen-
sive Health Department, County of Anoka, stating approval of the installation of the
private sewer system. See attachment #1

Mr. Burton Smith, the petitioner, came forward.
Mr. Smith stated he would prefer city sewer and water but the utilities were not available.
to his lot yet. He was told when he applied for the private sewer system that the city
and county would agree with whatever Rice Creek Watershed came up with. After a year
and considerable expense, he did get Rice Creek Watershed approval. A system was de-
signed, but then he was told he would have to also have the county's approval before the
city would agree. He felt it was a round about way for the city to get him to sign up
for sewer and water. He was then told he needed to at least apply for sewer and water
before he could get his building permit. He did this and two weeks ago he did get his
permit and started construction.

Ms. Gabel questioned why he was here if he had a request in for city sewer and water.
Surely the city would prefer him 11 to have it.
Mr. Barna pointed out, even if approval for the services was given, it'could be 3 or 4
years before it was installed. The variance would allow him utilities until that time.
Ms. Gabel said the city platted the area his lot.was in and therefore this lot was
suppose to be buildable. If the city was not going to put sewer and water in, they
would have to allow this variane -She asked if the other property owner's were aware
of assessment charges for the se ice.
Mr. Moravetz said yes. There are 2 lots that could be split and they will also have to
be stubbed in with the services.,
Mr. Smith pointed out that Darre Clark said those 2 property could hold off the assess-
ment until the 2 lots were split He also stated the other 2 property owners desired
to have the services extended to their properties.
Ms. Gabel asked Mr. Smith -if the 2 stipulations on the Anoka County Letter would be
aggreable with him.
Mr. Smith replied yes.
Mr. Barna asked why Mr. Smith did not apply sooner for city sewer and water.
He said the previous owner had told him the costs and required lift station would
prohibit development of the services.
Mr. Moravetz pointed out that owner had given him some erroneous information and that
was too bad for Mr. Smith becausei of the unnecessary expenses incurred.
Mr. Barna pointed out the staff stipulated testing of the sewer system each year and
wanted to know who did the testing and who paid the costs.
Mr. Moravetz said testing would probably be done by either Anoka County or Fridley's
Environmental Officer. If there were any costs, theowner would be required to pay,
since it was for his safety and enefit.
The Appeals Commission felt because at present Mr. Smith had no alternative but a private
sewer system and Rice Creek Watershed, Anoka County Comprehensive Health and the city
had no objections, the variance should be granted.

5329 - 5th Street N.E.
A. PUBLIC PURPOSE SERVED BY REQUIREMENT:
Section Section 205.054, 2, requires a minimum of 1,020 square feet of
finished floor area per dwelling unit.
Public purpose served by this requirement is to provide for adequate house
size and living area in residential buildings.
f
B. STATED HARDSHIP:
The owner is about to retire and requires no larger house (24' x 361).
The lower level is a walkout to the street which will be his main entrance.
The lower level is 36' wide by 24' deep and will be heated and have full
living space. Other houses in the area are about the same size with some
being smaller.
C. ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF REVIEW:
This lot presently has a partially destroyed.house on it. It had a fire
some weeks ago and is substandard in almost every way. The owner has
chosen to remove this existing house and build a new one. it will improve
the neighborhood and will be comparable in size to the surrounding homes.
The staff has no stipulations to recornunend if the request is approved.

Mrs. Girard stated this would be fine with her, but didn't know if it would work.
Councilman Schneider asked, if only a small area was posted, if it was enforceable.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated he would be of the opinion that if the Council
authorized it, it would be enforceable.
Mr. Pineault, 6620 McKinley, pointed out that there are ordinances regarding park-
ing on the street when it is snowing.
Mr. Nyberg, 6561 McKinley, indicated he would be in favor of no parking from mid-
night to 6 a.m.
Councilman Schneider asked if anyone from 6526 McKinley was present. There was
no response.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the informal public hearing and the Council
would review the situation and come back with a recommendation at the next meeting

PUBLIC HEARING ON STREET, SEWER AND WATER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1980-1, SIVERTS
LANE FROM 69TH AVENUE TO 650 FEET SOUTH:_
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the public hearing notice
and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the .public
hearing opened at 8:08 p.m.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the proposal is to put in the sewer and water
laterals in Siverts Lane from 69th Avenue to the South and provide a roadway over
the right-of-way. He stated the roadway proposed is a narrow roadway, without
curb and gutter, because it is felt the volume of traffic would be limited and
also to keep the cost to a bare minimum.
Mr. Qureshi stated the estimated cost for the street, without curbing, would be
$10.89 a front foot and $1.46 a foot for the side yard.
The estimated cost per foot for the water lateral is $10.94 and an estimated cost
of $520 for the service. The estimated cost per foot for the sewer lateral is
$7.31 and an estimated cost of $300 for the service.
Councilman Schneider stated he knows there are people who are concerned with this
improvement. He stated he met with some of the residents this last Saturday and
several questions were raised.
Councilman Schneider questioned the plans for the public property to the East.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the County has acquired it and this would be
under their control, as part of their Park system.
Councilman Schneider questioned if it would be a high useage area.
Mr. Boardman, City Planner, stated the plan, at this time, would be a shelter area
and 'parking lot.
Councilman Schneider questioned if there would be access through Siverts Lane.
Mr. Boardman stated they couldn't be denied access, if this road was constructed.
Mr. Qureshi stated this property is already a public access so the City cannot
deny the County access, but would work with them on their plans.
Mr. Bob Anderson, 1360 69th Avenue, stated his feelings as far as the sewer and
water and the road is that he is totally against it. He felt it was too much
\ money and that the road did need work, but doesn't necessarily mean it should
be paved. I:

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF NOVEMBER 19, 1979 PAGE 2
Mr. Henry Lem, 6621 McKinley, questioned what area on McKinley would be affected
by the "no parking" signs. He stated, he understood, when McKinley from 645th Ave.
to 66th Ave. was put in as a narrow street, it was on the condition that there
wouldn't be any overnight parking.
Councilman Schneider stated some of the concerns he heard came from persons in
his block because their primary access is through the narrow section of the block.
Mr. Lemm stated people living in the area are aware of the conditions and use
extreme caution in driving.
Councilwoman Moses stated, as far as the information before the Council, it does
indicate "no parking" signs from Mississippi to 662 Avenue.
Councilman Schneider stated his thought was that, if anything was done, it would
be primarily between Mississippi to 66th Avenue.
Mr. Gary Rognrud, 6536 McKinley, stated he felt there has never been a problem,
as far as he could see, and everyone knows it is a narrow street. He stated he
was not in favor of the "no parking" signs on either side of the street.
Mrs. Marcella Girard, 6531 McKinley, stated persons who are parked overnight on
the street create a problem for her backing out of her driveway, especially in
the winter with the ruts in the street.
Councilman Schneider asked if she would be in favor of no overnight parking like
from midnight to 6 a.m. Mrs. Girard stated that would be satisfactory with her.
Mr. Dan Borg, 6566 McKinley, felt there wasn't any problem with the parking and
could see no reason for the "no parking" signs. He stated, if someone was having
overnight company it would create a problem with no parking on the street.
Mrs. McCue stated one of the problems is that she leaves for work at 5:30 a.m.
and in the winter it is just about impossible to get out because the street had
not been plowed because cars were parked there.
Mr. Anderson, 6577 McKinley, stated he would like no overnight parking, but did
not want to see the street cluttered with "no parking" signs. He also felt the
speed limit should be reduced because of the number of children in the area.
Councilman Schneider explained the City could not impose a lower speed limit, as
this would come under State jurisdiction.
Mr. Ryan Benjaminson, 6547 McKinley, stated he was opposed to posting "no parking"
signs.
Councilman Schneider read a letter he received from Mr. Sheldon Benjaminson, 6547
McKinley, which indicated he was opposed to the "no parking" signs on McKinley.
Ms. Pat Ballot, 6550 McKinley, stated she has only lived at this residence for
a little over two years and when she moved there, didn't know there was no over-
night parking. She indicated they do have problems in the winter, with people
across the street from her backing on to the street, and getting stuck in the
ruts.
Councilman Schneider asked her if she would be in favor of posting "no parking"
signs. Ms. Ballot stated to post it for no parking after midnight would be fine.
Councilwoman Moses asked, if the overnight parking is a deterrent to keep people
in the area from parking in the street and using their own driveway, and if this
was the reason they wanted it.
Mrs. Girard stated all she is asking for is one little spot so she can get out
of ber driveway in the morning.
Mrs. Karen Kok, 6517 McKinley, stated she lived next to Mrs. Girard, and felt
the problem could be alleviated if the space between the Girard and Benjaminson
driveway could be kept free. If no vehicles.were parked there, Mrs. Girard
could always drive out of her driveway.
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF NOVEMBER 19, 1979 PAGE 4
Mayor Nee asked if he had City sewer and water. Mr. Anderson stated he did and
has no need for the road. Mr. Anderson stated he was told the cost for the sewer
and water and road would be about $4,600. •;;r
Councilman Schneider stated two corner lots would be involved, and both property
owners could make a persuasive argument that the completion of the road doesn't
directly benefit their properties. He stated water and sewer would only benefit
them, if they were to split off their property in the future, since they already
have City sewer and water.
Mr. Brunsell, City Clerk, stated the assessment cost would be spread on the South
portion of those lots because they could split this off and make another lot.
Mrs. Logid, 1340 69th Avenue, stated she would have no use for this road and
asked if she would be assessed.
Mrs. Nelson, 1370 69th Avenue, felt the person who is going to profit from the
road should pay for it.
Mr. Brunsell stated the people living on 69th Avenue would not be assessed for
sewer and water. He explained the City's policy regarding assessment for street
surfacing and how the assessment is spread down the block so persons living on
corner lots do not absorb all the cost for the side yard.
Mr. Ron Germundson, 1390 69th Avenue, stated there is no way the street will
benefit him and as far as he was concerned, it was a private driveway.
Mayor Nee stated the proposed assessment for the road improvement to Mrs. Logid's
property would be about $151 and about $141 for Mr. Germundson's property.
Mr. Ing Siverts, 6850 Siverts Lane, stated in the public hearing notice it
mentions storm sewer and questioned if that would be necessary.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, explained that the notice used is a standard form and
III
in this case, there may be a minimum kind of piping, mostly for surface drainage. a
Mr. Burton Smith, 6840 Siverts Lane, stated he needed the sewer and water service.
He stated the street would be nice, but he is more concerned with the sewer and -
water. { r'
Councilman Schneider stated there are three homes fronting on Siverts Lane and
all homes presently have wells and septic systems. He stated he gathered from
the letter from Mr. Siverts that sewer and water are no longer an issue for the
people living on Siverts Lane.
Councilman Schneider stated the Halgrims live to the North of Mr. Siverts at
6860 Siverts Lane and from the discussion on Saturday, Mr. Halgrim was from
neutral to favorable regarding the improvements.
Councilman Schneider questioned if the sewer and water improvement were ordered, '
if the assessments could be held in abeyance until such time that the lots might
be split. He stated this would involve the two corner lots owned by the Anderson's
and the Bacon's.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated, from a legal standpoint, it could be a deferred
assessment, but he was not sure of the financial problems it might create for the
project.
Mr. Brunsell, City Clerk, stated often times there are properties that wouldn't
benefit right away from putting in the sewer and water lines and if the City i
t proceeded on that basis, he felt there would have been a lot of sewer and water
lines that would never have been constructed. He stated he was not aware that
the City has done anything like this in the past.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, stated the standard the City is to follow in this
kind of assessment is that the Council must make a determination whether the
property that is to be assessed is benefitted at least as much as the assessment. .
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF NOVEMBER 19, 1979
PAGE 5
Y
Mr. Herrick stated, on the other lots on 69th, the proposal for assessing is
consistent with the City's policy. He stated it is a factual determination as -
to whether there is benefit by putting in the street. _.
Mr. Siverts asked the City's definition of a street. Mr. Qureshi, City Manager,
stated, if the City plows and maintains it, it is a City street.
Mr. Siverts stated he has a letter from Anoka County which states he owns the
land.
Mr. Herrick stated almost all public streets are on easements, the underlying
ownership of the property is still private, but subject to an easement for a
public street. He stated he hasn't examined the records, in this case, but
felt it was a public street as the City has maintained it.
Mr. Siverts stated he would not be in favor of the alignment of the road, as
proposed on the map, and explained the adjustment he would like made.
Mr. Qureshi stated staff could work with Mr. Siverts to adjust the alignment to
save the trees, since there is a 66 foot right-of-way and the road proposed would
only be about 30 feet.
•Councilman Schneider felt it would make sense to adjust the alignment and use
the East portion and the only question would be turn -around area for the snow-
plows.
Mr. Anderson felt, if the street is put on the East, it would be crowding his
property. Mr. Qureshi explained they would be putting a bend in the road be-
yond his property.
Mr. Al Erickson, 1380 69th Avenue, stated he couldn't see the two lots on the
corner paying about $4,500 for someone else's sewer and water since they al-
ready have it.
Councilman Schneider did point out that the Metropolitan Council and Legislature
are concerned with the problem of septic tanks going bad and there has been
talk of legislation to require mandatory yearly inspections of septic systems
and if they go bad, a requirement to hook up to the City's system. He felt it
was probably a question of time when the sewer would have go go in.
Mr. Siverts asked Mr. Smith if he has a permit to put in his own sewer and water
system. Mr. Smith stated he has to have the soil inspected and has to find fill
with a certain percolation rate.
Councilman Schneider asked Mr. Anderson and Mr. Bacon if the City were to proceed
with the sewer and water improvement and hold any charges in abeyance, until the
rear portions of their lots were split, if they would have any problems with this
improvement.
Mr. Bacon felt this would be agreeable with him. Mr. Anderson felt it would be
agreeable, providing he has the opportunity to have it reviewed legally and if,
and when the lot is split, that would be the only time the assessment would be
made. He stated, if he was to sell the property in one whole piece, he would
not be in favor of paying the assessment--onTy if it was split.
Mr. Herrick stated it would be legally possible to put in the improvement and
hold the assessment and file a notice on those lots that if they were ever split,
they would be subject to paying whatever the rate would be at that time for sewer
and water. He stated that would happen anyway because they couldn't split the
lots, without paying the sewer and water charges.
Mr. Aasland, 1330 69th Avenue, talked about the drainage past his home and didn't
feel a storm sewer was necessary. He stated the land is relatively flat and not
conducive to fast run-off. Mr. Aasland also stated he felt Siverts Lane was a
private entrance to three properties and how far these owners wanted to go, as
far as improvement, should be worked out with them and the City.
PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF NOVEMBER 19, 1979 PAGE 6 9
Councilman Barnette pointed out that storm sewer isn't being considered in this
project and the notice_ received is a standard form used by the City, but is not
involved in this particular project. He explained that the properties.k 69th,
with the exception of Anderson's and Bacon's would not be assessed for sewer and
water, but only for the road improvement if this is ordered.
Councilman Schneider stated, in his own mind, he is comfortable with everything,
except the street surfacing. He felt there were favorable reactions to the sewer
and water or it is not being opposed by anyone that is directly affected, if they
can make arrangements regarding the assessments on the corner lots. He felt, as
far as the street, there would be only three families using it and questioned if
some improvement could be made, without making it a full surfaced street.
Mr. Qureshi stated the only additional cost would be putting a small amount of
blacktop on the street. He felt if this wasn't provided, there would be a prob-
lem of continually putting a stabilizer on it.
Mayor Nee felt the question the three families have to settle is if they are
willing to live with the results of the street, after it has been dug up, and
if not, if they are willing to pay to have it paved.
No other persons in the audience spoke regarding this proposed improvement.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing. Seconded by
Councilman Barnette. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the '
motion carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 9:55 p.m.
Mayor Nee informed the people that Council action on this improvement would be
at the Council meeting on December 3, 1979. ;
PUBLIC HEARING ON FINAL PLAT, P.S. #79-02, INNSBRUCK VILLAGES 3RD ADDITION BY
DARREL A. FARR DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION:
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to waive the reading of the public hearing notice
and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the
public hearing opened at 9:55 p.m.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated, basically, there was a survey error and in
order for the actual buildings to conform with the plat, it is necessary to
approve this plat.
Mayor Nee stated this plat would involve a slight realignment to correct an
error so the plat conforms with the actual structure that has been built.
There was no response from anyone in the audience regarding this item of business.
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to close the public hearing. Seconded by Council-
woman Moses. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion
carried unanimously and the public hearing closed at 9:56 p.m.
PUBLIC HEARING ON REVIEW OF MISSISSIPPI RIVER CORRIDOR CRITICAL AREAS PLAN
FOR THE CITY OF FRIDLEY:
MOTION by Councilwoman Moses to waive the reading of the public hearing notice
and open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously and the
public hearing opened at 9:57 p.m.
Mr. Boardman, City Planner, stated the City is trying to fulfill the requirements,
under state legislation, which designates the Mississippi River under the Critical
Areas Corridor. He stated the draft plan for the City, regarding the Mississippi
River Corridor Critical Areas, is now before the Council.
Mr. Boardman stated the plan covers the goals and objectives as laid out in the
Comprehensive Plan and there is an implementation section, which is required,
that lays out what they anticipate on implementation and capital improvements.
10 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF NOVEMBER 19, 1979 PAGE 7
Mr. Boardman stated there are critical area regulations which is an overlay
district. He stated these regulations are pretty much laid out by the State.
He stated the City is presently operating under state regulations and the
City is required to meet those regulations as closely as possible.
Mr. Boardman stated this plan was recommended for approval by the Planning
Commission and changes were made to the plan, as recommended by the Commission.
He stated a copy has been sent to the Metropolitan Council for their review
and their comments are included.
Mayor Nee referred to page 28 of the plan which shows an exception. He stated
he understands a single family residence doesn't have to have all the documen-
tation. Mr. Boardman stated the primary concern is for a large development.
Mr. Boardman stated he knows there is a lot of concern about setbacks. He
referred to page 31 of the plan which requires that all new structures and
facilities should not be closer than 40 feet from the bluff line or 100 feet
from any normal high water line. He stated these would probably cause the
most problems, but the City does have the authority to grant variances in those
areas.
Mr. Boardman stated the procedure for review of the Mississippi River Corridor
Critical Areas Plan was similar to the review of the Comprehensive Plan. He
stated other agencies make a review and submit a recommendation back to the
City. He stated the approval of this plan by the Council would be only for
review by the various metro agencies. He stated the overlay district has to
go through the normal procedure for ordinance changes.
Mrs. Irene Maertens, 144 Riversedge Way, stated she was surprised there were
changes by the Planning Commission, as she had attended their meeting, but had
to leave before it was over. She stated a week before the public hearing, she
had tried to find out information about the FMC property from the Parks and
Recreation Director and Planning Department, but to no avail.
Mrs. Maertens comment about this plan is that it is very vague. She stated
the vagueness is about the park system and capital improvements. She stated
implementing authorities have been assigned, but there are no estimated costs.
Mr. Boardman, City Planner, then submitted some estimated figures to Mrs.
Maertens.
Mrs. Maertens questioned the river access and referred to page 18 of the plan.
She stated it says there are no official public access points, but several do
exist and one is by her home. She asked about the potential of that being
designated.
Mr. Boardman stated the primary access point is from the FMC property and
d:acussion of proposed river access is down by the I-694 bridge. He stated
the area where Mrs. Maertens is located is shown as an overlook and there is
access into that park area.
Mrs. Maertens stated her only comment on what happened regarding the FMC property
is that it didn't go through the Commission channels and came directly to the
Council and Council approved it. She felt they weren't informed of what happened.
Mayor Nee stated the item*was brought before Council and the County wanted a
decision within 10 days.
Mrs. Maertens stated even a week before the Planning Commission public hearing
the Council already had approved this and the Director of Parks and Recreation
stated he didn't know of it. She stated there apparently is a lack of communica-
tion on such an important project as this one.
Mr. Dick Harris, Chairman of the Planning Commission, stated he was speaking
as a private citizen and wanted to make the Council aware of the unusual
boundaries in this plan, as it extends all the way to.East River Road. He
felt the stringent conditions shouldn't be placed on persons that live several
blocks from the River. He stated this was discussed by the Planning Commission
and it was their feeling to let it go, as written, and let the Council decide.
