MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55418 February 9, 1971 NASIM QUERESHI City of Fridley Engineer 4 Director of Planning Fridley City Hall 6431 University Ave. N. E. Fridley, Minnesota Dear Sir: On the 13th day of November, 1970, Fridley issued its Building Permit No. 10894 to Five Sands Development for the 59 unit structure which we are building at 7875 East River Road. One of the stipulations contained in this building permit is as follows: "Exit and entry for Phase II on 79th at Lincoln Street only". Therefore, this building permit is forbidding us to use over 500 feet of frontage road adjoining this property for ingress and egress. You will find absolutely nothing of an official action in any of the Minutes of any of the Municipal Boards concerning this matter. Phone 789-3583 It is my contention that the City of Fridley is completely without any legal right whatsoever to restrict our use of this public road. This is, of course, why I appeared at the recent Council Meeting and objected to the improvement of 79th. It would indeed be paradoxical if Five Sands would have to pay to improve 79th, with such language in the building permits. I was unaware of the language in the permit until recently when it was pointed out to me by the FHA lawyers from Chicago, when we were closing the mortgage on this building. I am sure you can realize the inconvenience, confusion, and legal red tape which has resulted from a situation where we are trying to build apartment buildings under Federal Housing Authority financing and we have to show the FHA officials stipulations in building permits forbidding us to use public roads. Indeed, this matter was difficult to explain. At any rate, I would appreciate it very much if you would review this situation and then either issue an amended building permit eliminating this stipulation from the building permit or, in the alternative, send me written correspondence specifically referring to this building permit and specifically eliminating this language. J NASIM QUERESHI - 2 - February 9, 1971 Initially, and from a practical point of view, we will probably be using Lincoln Street as the only ingress and egress, for an undetermined length of time. We, however, recognize that 79th is a state aid road and in the future, 79th will be cut through to University. We, therefore, obviously do not want to preclude our ability to use 79th at other areas than Lincoln Street. RHF:lq cc: KENNETH V.

On March 19 1971, the City Council of Fridley considered your request for removal of Stipulation #1 (Exit & entry for Phase II on 79th Way at Lincoln Street only.) which restricted the use of 79th Way I1.E. for Phase II building of Five Sands Development except at Lincoln Street. They authorized the deletion of this stipulation from the Building Permit #10,894 for Phase II building of Five Sands Development. A copy of the amended Building Permit is attached herewith for your files. I hope you will find this satisfactory. If you need any additional information please feel free to contact me.

River Rd. - Apt. #311 Fridley, MPT 55432 Dear Ms. Gutheil: 408 METRO SQUARE 7TH AND ROBERT STS. ST. PAUL, MN 55101 Phone: 612/296-4639 I am enclosing a table showing several method's of reducing the clearance from the 36" required. Please note the foot- notes to the table. As to allowing the flue to pass thru the floor -ceiling to help heat the second floor, it would not be permissable to use a single wall pipe as a vent -connector (from wood - burning device to the chimney) to pass thru any floor or ceiling. A Class "A" metal chimney may do so, but then you would not be gaining much heat from the chimney. If you have further questions we would suggest you contact your local city Building Inspector, or local Fire Marshall. They should be in a position to advise you of proper methods and materials.
