Historical Timeline
The following timeline has been constructed to provide the background on how the
"Gateway EasY' project developed and to demonstrate the amount of planning and
neighborhood input that went into this project.
54
Aug. 1987 Holiday Station Stores closes operations at 5807 University Avenue, but
retains ownership of building and site. Building remains vacant.
Nov. 1988 City receives development proposal from Winfield Development for
commercial redevelopment of NE quadrant of 57th and University Avenue.
Project does not proceed, in part because of costs related to purchase of
Valvoline Instant Oil Change facility.
1993 Holiday leases building at 5807 University Avenue to Cash 'n' Pawn.
Jun. 1998 Owner of JR's Automotive at 5755 University Avenue, indicates desire to
close business and approaches HRA with offer to sell. HRA acquires
building and evaluates redevelopment options for area, including possible
acquisition of adjoining properties.
Jul. 1998 HRA hires Hoisington Koegler Group to develop concept plans for
redevelopment of NE quadrant of 57th and University Avenue, exclusive of
the Valvoline Instant Oil Change site. That site is considered too expensive
to purchase based on previous discussions. Residential development(e.g.
town homes) becomes vision for area.
Apr. 1999 HRA signs purchase agreement with Holiday Co. to acquire 5807 University
Ave.
Aug. 1999 HRA initiates offers to purchase duplex at 349-353 57th Place, a vacant lot
next to JR's Automotive and a vacant lot at the corner of 4th St. and 57th
Avenue. Negotiations are successful on duplex, HRA initiates condemnation
proceedings on remaining parcels.
Nov. 1999 HRA closes on purchase of Holiday site.
Dec. 1999 HRA closes on duplex site.
Jan. 2000 Condemnation proceedings completed on two vacant lots. HRA completes
site assembly.
Mar. 2000 Staff conducts neighborhood meeting to receive input on project and concept
plans. Three options are presented at meeting for re-aligning streets in
project area. Residents in attendance favor plan to close off access to
neighborhood

HRA's Vision for Gateway East
The Housing & Redevelopment Authority's (HRA) goal for Gateway East is to convert this
former commercial area into a viable residential development. This owner occupied
townhome development is situated to take advantage of iYs close proximity to I-694, bus
routes, shopping opportunities and nearby schools.
Street Aliqnment 8� Site Plan Confiquration
Prior to sending out a Request for Proposals to developers, the City staff&the HRA
examined ways to reconfigure the roadways through this site to maximize development
opportunities. Three site plans containing different roadway configurations were
developed. The City then reviewed the proposed layouts with the neighborhood adjoining
"Gateway East". The neighbors chose the road layout now being proposed by the
petitioner. This option does require the City vacate portions of existing street and utility
right-of-way and that the petitioner dedicate the needed right-of-way through the plat
process. The proposed street configuration is on sheet C4 of the attached plans. It should
be noted that this layout will eliminate Valvoline's access to the existing University Service
Drive, but that staff has met with Valvoline to discuss options for modifying their site.
57
A zoning designation of S-2 gives the City greater flexibility in determining setbacks for a
given project. This flexibility is needed in this case due to street alignments, right-of-way
needs, utility locations, and proximity to adjacent land uses. With this sight plan, where
front yard setbacks range from 19.5' to 35', the developer is trying to establish "residential
character" by providing some amount of separation between the streets and adjacent land
uses. The 35'front yard setbacks, typical in the surrounding residential area, is used on
the 6 buildings fronting on public streets. The reduced front yard setbacks are found on the
2 buildings which front on private streets.
Staff Recommendations
Granting of these variances will enable the City's HRA to realize their vision of turning this
site from two run down commercial buildings into new owner occupied housing.
City Staff recommends approval of the street and utility vacation request.
• New street alignments are needed to maximize development opportunities
• Neighborhood supports proposed street layout
� Public Works approves of the proposed street layout
City Staff recommends approva/of the rezoning of the property to S-2,
Redevelopment District.
• Rezoning of property is necessary to provide desired density on this site
• Rezoning gives developer flexibility to develop site in a manner that is able to
establish "residential character"
City Staff recommends approval of the preliminary plat request.
• Proposed plat will combine the five properties in the project area into one property
• Proposed plat will dedicate the right-of-way necessary for street layout
Stipulations
City Staff recommend that the following stipulations be placed upon approval of the plat
request.
1. Petitioner shall obtain all necessary permits prior to construction.
2. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the
issuance of any building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding
properties.
3. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable.
4. Petitioner to pay$750 per unit park fees prior to issuance of building permits.
5. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees.
6. The petitioner shall agree to preserve mature trees to the extent possible. All trees
required to be removed for the new homes shall be marked and approved by City
staff prior to issuance of building permits.

MOTION by Ms. Johns, seconded by Mr. Saba, to open the public hearing regarding item nos.
2,3, and 4.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON SAVAGE DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:41 P.M.
Mr. Bolin stated that these three requests were for the Gateway East Project. The petitioners
are Gateway East Redevelopment and the Limited Liability Corporation. This is a joint venture
between Real Estate Equities and the Bisanz Brothers. The project is located at the corner of
57'h and University Avenues. The entire site is about 2.5 acres in size. Former uses on these
properties included a pawn shop, automotive repair facility, a duplex, and two vacant sites. The
developer's and HRA's �oal is to change the current aging commercial structures into a livable
residential area. Gateway East Redevelopment is proposing 28 owner-occupied townhome
units to be priced between $126,000 and $142,000. Each townhome will be a three-story
design with two bedrooms and two car attached garages.
Mr. Bolin stated the developer is seeking to vacate portions of the University Service Road, a
portion of 57`h Place, and a portion of 4th Street. They would also like to rezone the property
from a mix of C-2 commercial and R-2 residential into an S-2 redevelopment district. They
would like to replat the properties into one parcel suitable for townhome development. In 1988,
the City was approached by a developer who looked at developing this site and the Valvoline
site as commercial. Due to the fact that the property was so expensive, it was determined that
the development was not feasible.
Mr. Bolin stated that in 1998, JR's Automotive contacted the HRA about purchasing their
property. The HRA acquired the property and looked at redeveloping that quadrant. In July
1998, the HRA hired the Hoisington Koegler Group to develop specific concept plans for the
redevelopment of this quadrant at 57th, exclusive of the Valvoline site. In April 1999, the HRA
signed a purchase agreement to purchase the Holiday property occupied by Cash-N-Pawn. In
August 1999, the HRA initiated offers to purchase the duplex at 349 57`h Place and the two
vacant lots.
Mr. Bolin stated that in March 2000, City staff conducted a neighborhood meeting to present
three options for realigning streets in the project area. The residents favored the plan which
closed off access to the neighborhood. The residents in the northeast portion did not want to
see 4th Street extended through. In June 2000, the HRA sent out proposals to a number of
�

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, FEBRUARY 7,2001 PAGE 4 '
developers. Two proposals were received by Gateway East Redevelopment for 28 townhome
units and Hokanson Development for 40 townhome units. It was determined that the less dense
28-unit townhome proposal would be most appropriate for this site.
Mr. Bolin stated that in July 2000, the HRA demolished the duplex, JR's Automotive, and Cash-
N-Pawn. In December 2000, the HRA approved the contract for private redevelopment with
Gateway East Redevelopment and approved the Gateway East TIF District. In January 2001,
the developer prepared the final plans with the land use applications, called a neighborhood
meeting, and started conducting additional environmental testing on the site.
Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends approval of the three requests. The proposed alignment for
the streets is supported by the neighborhood and the Public Works Department. Rezoning of
the property is necessary to get the density needed on this site to accommodate the 28 units
proposed and gives more flexibility to establish a more residential character. It allows for some
closer setbacks found on the private streets close to the development. The plat request is
necessary to combine the five properties in the project area into one property to be platted for
the units. This would also dedicate the right-of-way necessary for the proposed street layout.
Mr. Chris Winter, representing Real Estate Equities, stated they are requesting to realign and
vacate the University Avenue Service Road. Valvoline Oil will have their entrance relocated.
They are proposing eight buildings with five and three-unit clusters. Green grass will be
between buildings and the driveways and garages will be in back with a private entrance. There
will be a nice streetscape with front porches and landscaping. There will be a common area in
the center of the community and nice landscaping on various properties. They are proposing a
three story tuck-under garage style that would allow front porches and decks. Landscaping will
add different elements of interest. Shaker maintenance free siding will be throughout. Private

AN AUTOMATIC REA R BOARD SIGN TO CHANGE ITS MESSAGE MORE
THAN ONCE EVERY 5 MINUTES, GENERALLY LOCATED AT 7699
HIGHWAY 65:
Mr. Bolin, Planner, stated that the petiti er is Dr. Wayne Dahl of North Metro Spine Care.
Code requires a special use permit to all automatic readerboard signs but not to change
messages other than time and temperature mor than once every fifteen minutes. His property is
C-2 commercial. He neighbors with Wendy's, Sp' er's, and a small office building to the east of
his property. The site was originally the FrosTo Drive-In in 1964. It was also used as a
miniature golf course in the late 1970's. Dr. Dahl purc ased the property in 1981 and remodeled
it to accommodate his chiropractic office. Sign permit were issued for pylon signs in 1981,
1988, and 1986 by the Planning Commission. A public earing was held on this issue. A
motion was approved to direct approval of the special use p it with stipulations. Automatic
changeable readerboard signs are an approved special use pro 'ded that the message does not
change more than once every fifteen minutes. In 1996, a special e permit was obtained for the

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, M YOR LUND DECLARED THE

STIPULATIONS: 1) PETITONER SHALL OBT N SIGN PERMITS PRIOR TO

18. VARIANCE REQUEST, VAR #Ol-01, Y WAYNE DAHL, TO ALLOW AN
AUTOMATIC READER BOARD SIG TO CHANGE ITS MESSAGE MORE
THAN ONCE EVERY 15 MINUT , GENERALLY LOCATED AT 7699
HIGHWAY 65 (WARD 2):
Mr. Bolin, Planner, stated that at the February Appeals Commission meeting, a public hearing
was held on this variance. After discussion ver the lack of hardship necessary to grant this
variance a motion was made and approved t recommend denial. Prior to granting of the sign
variance, there are four requirements that n d to be met. The first is that there will need to be
exceptional or extraordinary circumstances pplicable to the property or to the intended use that
do not apply generally to other propertie in the same vicinity or district. The circumstances
surrounding this property are neither exc ptional nor extraordinary. There is direct frontage on
Highway 65 and Gsborne Road with a si gle occupant. No other automatic readerboard signs in
Fridley change messages more than on e every fifteen minutes. The variance is necessary for
the preservation and enjoyment of the roperty rights possessed by other properties in the same
vicinity or district. Neither the petit'oner nor the properties located in Fridley that have had
automatic readerboard signs changed essages more than once every fifteen minutes.
Mr. Bolin said that the third requir ment is that strict'application would constitute unnecessary
hardship. This business has been ' this location since 1981. This site has optimum visibility.
The petitioner could raise the heig t of the sign to the 25 foot maximum allowed by code. Strict
application of the code requires t at the petitioner not change the sign message more than once
every fifteen minutes. The fo requirement is that the granting of the variance may not be
materially detrimental to the p lic health, safety, general welfare, or to the properties in the
vicinity in which the property is located. Quick changing messages may be detrimental to public
safety. If you are driving by t ese signs and do not catch the whole message you might try to
catch the rest in the rearview irror as you go by. Staff recommended denial, as there is no
statutory hardship and no co arable variances have been granted. This would set a precedent.
Mr. Kelly Kannigan, represe ting Dr. Dahl, stated that the reason businesses, municipalities, and
schools use these is that the do not pose a danger. He has letters from Costa Mesa and Norwalk
that state that these reader oard signs in no way influence traffic accidents. Many businesses
readerboards have larger ext with two or three different changes with one message. Mr.

RE: Vacation Request — Resolution #28-2001
Dear Grant:
Per my telephone conversation with Clarissa this afternoon, I am returning to you
the City Council Proceedings Vacation document signed July 24, 2001, the one
_that �ou dropped off today.
After a diligent search through our mail documents — one of my stai�was able to
locate the first Vacation document dated July 2, 2001 and received by the Abstract
department with their mail of July 5, 2001.
Therefore, we are actually going to file the earlier dated document (July 2, 2001)
thereby allowing us to give it a document number from July 11�' documents, which
are now in the process of being numbered.
Hopefully, Clarissa has talked to you about this.
I regret any inconvenience this has caused you, but with the volume of documents
received each day, this document was not identified as a Torrens document —
therefore remaining with the Abstract department's mail.
If you have any questions, please call me.
Sincerely,
�-- ~
