Minneapolis, `-innesota
Dear Mr. Fosse,
Enclosed you will please find copies of the survey that we made for you.
You will note that by splitting the original lot into two equal 70 foot
lots that the house is only 4.6 feet, at its closest point, from the
new west line of that lot. I believe you mentioned that you were sup-
posed to be 7-1/2 feet from the line. However, if the line were to be
shifted 3 feet to the west that would make the west lot only 67 feet
wide.
If it is necessary that you must be 7-1/2 feet off of the line, we will
move the irons and issue new certificates shooing the new alignment.
Please call us if this has to be done.

PLATS & SUBDIVISIONS
STREETS & UTILITIES SUBCOMMITTEE APRIL 8, 1970 PAGE 1
The meeting was called to order by Chairman Schmedeke at 7:00 P.M.
ROLL CALL:
Members Present: Zeglen, Meissner, Schmedeke, Crowder
Members Absent: None
Others Present: Darrel Clark, Engineering Assistant
1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #70-03, CLARENCE FOSSE: Lot 20, Auditor's
Subdivision 4129. To split for residential site. Represented by
Maynard Sieve of Apollo Realty.
Mr. Clarence Fosse and Mr. Maynard Sieve were present.
The Engineering Assistant pointed out that if the lot were split in
half, there would be two 70 foot lots which would be five feet less than the
minimum requirement of the Code for 75 foot lots. The existing home would
end up about 711, feet from the lot line. The Code calls for 10 feet. However,
the area (21,000 square feet) meets the requirement of the Code. He added
that he had talked to the new City Attorney regarding sending the request to
the Board of Appeals for a variance of the size of the lots and the 7-11 foot
sideyard on the house. The City Attorney stated the Planning Commission
should send their opinion to the Council, and if Council felt the Board of
Appeals should hear the petition, they would send it back to them.
In answer to Mr. Meissner's question regarding access to the garage,
Mr. Sieve replied that the garage faces East, so there would be no problem of
driving over the new lot. He also said that, as far as the petitioner was
concerned, if the Commission wished to split the lot in a different way
than requested, it would be satisfactory.
Chairman Schmedeke said he realized a certificate of survey would have
to be ready for Council and wondered if it were necessary to have one at the
level of the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities Subcommittee. The
Engineering Assistant explained that the reason for not requesting it at this
level was, usually lines are changed before the request reaches Council and
it would be an unnecessary expense to the Petitioner as a sketch is sufficient
for the preliminary work.
Mr. Zeglen brought out the fact that Lot 19 and Lot 17 are zoned
commercial. That portion directly North of Mr. Fosse's property is zoned
residential, as well as the lots to the East. The American Legion owns
Lot 19 and the portion of Lot 18 North of Lot 20 (Mr. Fosse's lot) . Lot 17
has a house built on it. The commercial land is obvious so that a buyer would
not be misled. That portion of Lot 18, West of Lot 17, owned by the Legion,
does not present a landlocked problem inasmuch as it is owned by the same
person.
Plats & Subs.-Str. & Util. Subcommittee Meeting - April 8, 1970 Page 2
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Zeglen, that the Plats & Subdivisions -
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend approval of the Lot Split Request,
iL.S. #70-03, Clarence Fosse splitting Lot 20, Auditor's Subdivision #129 in
half. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
2. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #70-04, GIL-MOR, INC. (SHELDON MORTENSON) : Lot 5,
Auditor's Subdivision #153 (split off parcel at Southwest corner -
185x225) .
Sheldon Mortenson was present.
The Engineering Assistant pointed out that the Zoning Ordinance states
a commercial lot should have 200 feet of frontage and in Mr. Mortenson's re-
quest, it appears the frontage is 185 feet making it 15 feet short. Mr.
Mortenson presented a certificate of survey showing the whole shopping center
and a picture of the architecture used by Twin City Federal. He said that
no decision has been made yet on which way the building will face, but he has
two plans, one showing the building facing 52nd Avenue and the other Hwy. #65.
The drawing shows a 50 foot drive easement along the East edge of the proposed
split for the protection of the Twin City Federal people. The car wash is
75 feet away from the proposed building. Mr. Mortenson said that reciprocal
parking was made part of the agreement and they felt it would hardly change
the traffic pattern.
MOTION by Meissner, seconded by Zeglen, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend approval of the Lot Split Request,
L.S. #70-04, by Gil-Mor, Inc. , Sheldon Mortenson, of Lot 5, Auditor's Subdivi-
sion #153, and that the Subcommittee would prefer the Twin City Federal build-
ing to face T.H. #65. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
SIGNS AT T.H. #47 AND INTERSTATE #694:
The Chairman asked if there would be a possibility for the Subcommittee
to ask for a sign with an arrow be installed on the bridge and illuminated at
night to make it safer for those who are coming off T.H. #47 and going up on
#694. An illuminated sign on the bridge should show where to turn to go to
Fridley or Anoka. The Engineering Assistant suggested this item should be con-
tinued until the .next meeting and in the meantime, the Engineering Department
will make a survey of the interchanges. The Subcommittee agreed.
ADJOURNMENT:
MOTION by Zeglen, seconded by Crowder, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee meeting of April 8, 1970 be adjourned at
7:42 P.M. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Res ectfully gubmitted

Members Absent: None

APPROVE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES: MARCH 18, 1970
MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Harris, that the Planning Commission
Minutes of March 18, 1970 be approved. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the
motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVE PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES: MARCH 16 1970
MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Schmedeke, that the Planning Commis-
sion receive the minutes of the Parks & Recreation Meeting of March 16, 1970.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVE BOARD OF APPEALS MINUTES: MARCH 25, 1970
MOTION by Minish, seconded by Harris, that the Planning Commission
receive the minutes of the Board of Appeals meeting of March 25, 1970. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #70-03, CLARENCE FOSSE: Lot 20, Auditor's Sub-
division #129. To split for residential site. Represented by Maynard Sieve
of Appolo Realty.
Mr. Clarence Fosse and Mr. Maynard Sieve were present.
The Engineering Assistant was asked to review the comments of the
Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities Subcommittee which met earlier in the
evening. He said that some of the things considered were the fact that the
lot is 140'x150' , and if split down the middle, would make two lots 70 feet
wide instead of 75' as required in the Code. The existing house would be
about 7�' from the new lot line and there were no doors, porch or patio on
that side. The landlocked property to the North of Mr. Fosse's property is
owned by the LeBeau Legion Post #303 in addition to their owning Lot 19, and
does not present a problem because the three parcels are under one ownership.
The Subcommittee mentioned in their motion that they would prefer the lot
being split into two equal parts.
Mr. Foss commented that he had no plans to build another home now and
hoped to sell both lots.
z
Planning Commission Meeting - April 8, 1970 Page 2
The Commission discussed whether or not the variance should go to
Council and then back to the Board of Appeals or visa versa. Darrel Clark
said the City Attorney felt the proper method would be for the Subcommittee
and the Planning Commission to make a recommendation to the Council, calling
their attention to the fact that the lot sizes did not meet the City Code by
5 feet. According to the Code, Council could act on the variance and lot
split at one time, or they may send it to the Board of Appeals.
Another question was whether or not the variance should be considered
before going to the Planning Commission. The Engineering Assistant explained
that the lot split was the larger decision and the variance the smaller of
the two. The motion could include the stipulation that the lot split be
granted contingent upon a variance being granted.
The petitioner was asked to have a certificate of survey prepared
showing the dimensions of the house and its location. There were no problems
connected with the utilities.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that the petitioner is asking for a lot split,
but since a variance would be created, the Board of Appeals should be asked
then to hold hearings for a variance. Mr. Sieve stated again that they would
go along with whatever the Planning Commission and Council requested as the
proper way to split.
MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Schmedeke, that the recommendation
of the Planning Commission is to approve Lot Split Request, L.S. #70-03, con-
tingent upon a survey showing the existing building to be at least 7 1/2 feet
from the West lot line. We further recommend that the variance be granted
directly by the .Council if, in the opinion of the City Attorney, there is no
question of proper notice and public hearing. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
2. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. Vo-04, GIL-MOR, INC. (SHELDON MORTENSON) :
Lot 5, Auditor's Subdivision #153 (split off parcel at Southwest corner -
185x225) .
Sheldon Mortenson was present.
The Engineering Assistant explained that the requirement of a commer-
cial lot is to have 200 feet of front footage along the road. Mr. Mortenson
has 185 feet. Normally, the front of the lot is the direction the house or
building would face. The Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities Subcommittee
recommended approval of the lot split.
Mr. Mortenson said the buyers have given him two plans, one showing
the house facing 52nd Avenue and the other facing Highway X665 with one of the
plans showing an entrance on both sides. It was noted that water run on 52nd
Avenue. Mr. Mortensaid the 50 foot drive easement was so that no one could
build within 50 feet of their property. In the agreement with Twin City Federal,
reciprocal parking was included. The Commission decided the legal description
was fairly easy to follow and would meet the ordinance. They felt the plans
for this lot split would be an asset to the community.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 20, 1970 PAGE 11
Councilman Sheridan asked if this would_be a special use permit. The City
Engineer said that normally if this was a new building, the requirement would be
M-1 zoning. In this case since it is a temporary type of business he suggested
that a temporary permit be issued to be renewable every year. In this way the
Council could .revoke it or add in conditions if it proves to be unsatisfactory.
He said that he understood that Mr. Swenson. is having difficulty in financing his
development. There are no Code. requirements to cover this type of operation.
Councilman Liebl said that if it is based on yearly renewal, he would have no
objection. Councilman Breider asked-about the access•, and if it would be off
Osborne Road. Mr. Swenson said yes, right by the antique shop. The City Engineer
then showed the property on the plat map. He said that the property has been
rezoned and when the financing is available, Mr. Swenson plans on cleaning up the
area and building a new building.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to grant the permit on the condition that it is
renewed every year. Seconded by Councilman Liebl, Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
RECEIVING THE_ MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF APRIL 8, 1970:
k 1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #70-03, CLARENCE FOSSE: Lot 20, Auditor's Subdivision
#129. To split for residential site. Represented by Maynard Sieve of
Appolo Realty.
The City Engineer explained that this is a parcel 140' X 150' and the request is
to split it into two equal lots. The Planning Commission Minutes note that there
is a variance needed also because the house would be only 7� feet from the new
lot split line. He said that also the Council should be aware that this is old
platted property on 73rd Avenue east of Central Avenue, and the frontage would be
70' rather than 75' creating two parcels 70' X 150' . This would meet the area
requirement. Planning Commission recommends granting approval of the lot split
and granting the variance so the house would not be more than 7� feet from the
new lot split line.
A Representative of the applicant in_ the audience. said. that.the. owner has reason
to believe that the house may be about 9' or .10' from the new property line rather
than the 7&i feet stipulated. The survey is not completed yet.
The City Engineer said that the zoning is R-1 andtheproperty behind this
property has access on the west side. Councilman Sheridan asked how much access
and the City Engineer answered about 60 feet.
Councilman Liebl questioned if this variance should be acted on by the Council at
this time or should it go back to the Board of Appeals.. The -City Attorney
replied that he had talked to the Engineering Assistant about this. He pointed
out that the Chairman of the Board of Appeals is a member-of the Planning Commission.
He felt that it could be handled either way, unless there is some problem peculiar
to the case. In this instance it is a simple variance and-the question becomes
redundant. Councilman Liebl pointed out that the motion for approval by the
Planning Commission carried unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to concur with .the. recommendation of the .Planning
Commission and grant a lot split. to Mr. Clarence Fosse, and a variance to allow the
house to be a minimum of 7Y from the new property line. Seconded by Councilman

CONSIDERATION OF REQUEST FOR A TEMPORARY HOOKUP. TO -FRIDLEY.SEWER SYSTEM ON STINSON
BOULEVARD BY NEW BRIGHTON RESIDENT, MR. J.D. HENNUM:
Mayor. Kirkham suggested that .this item be..taken up as the gentleman was waiting
in the audience.
It was decided after a lengthy .discussion- on.the method- to use in charging a New
Brighton resident for temporarily hooking onto the Fridley sewer system, to charge
Mr. Hennum an initial $200 flat fee which will include the first years fee, and
$100 per year thereafter on the first of the year until either the amount
equivalent to the normal assessment is paid or he connects up to the New Brighton
line. Mr. Hennum felt that he .could.hook _onto theNewBrighton line within two
or three years. In. this way, if he .connected _to New Brighton after two years, he
would have paid .Fridley $300.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to grant permission to Mr. Jack D. Hennum, a New Brighton
resident, to hook up to the Fridley.sewer system on a temporary basis, the charge
to be $200 initially, and $100 every year.thereafter due on the first of the year,
until he either pays an amount equivalent to the normal assessment or disconnects
from the Fridley system, plus the normal user charges. Seconded. by Councilman
Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, .Mayor .Kirkham declared the motion
carried.

and would have to work something up. Councilman Harris asked how much it
would cost to prepare the plans and specifications and the City Engineer
replied for an $80,000 project at 50, about $4,000.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to instruct the Finance Director to try to work
out where the money could be obtained, and have it ready for the next
regular Meeting. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye,Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
The City Engineer explained that there is to be a ditch and ponding area
through Lot 8 to the storm sewer system on 68th Avenue, as the inlet is too
high.
The City Manager said that he had talked to Glenn Thompson of the Michael
Servitus Church and the City Manager suggested fencing across the south
property lines, and extend the pipe further to the west in the park and
provide a ponding area in Lot 8. Councilman Harris said that a fence in
the park would not prevent the children from going into Lot 8. The City
Manager suggested getting permission to fence the ponding area on Lot 8.
Mayor Kirkham felt that this is a potential hazard, true, but where does
the parents responsibility start in keeping their children out of there.
If every potential hazard were to be fenced it would be never-ending, and
could include Rice Creek. He felt that the parents should bear more
responsibility in watching over their children. He said that he would hate
to think of spending money to fence on Lot 8 which is not City property
because the people are not watching their children. Councilman Harris said
1 � that he believed that many people think that Lot 8 is City property.

RECONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED FINAL PLAT (P.S. #68-05) , MARXEN TERRACE, THOMAS
MARXEN:
The City Engineer said that this plat was approved two years ago. It is just
east of the property Mr. George Nelson was attempting to rezone. The plat is
all right, but there is a drainage problem, and it will eventually have to
hook onto some storm sewer system. He wants to build homes on Onondaga
Street, and there is no development proposed for the back lots.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the final plat Barxen Terrace.
Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 18, 1970 PAGE 13
The City Engineer explained further that he will be doing the work himself
so he would have to be bonded and the Consulting Engineer and the City
would be doing the inspecting. One of the grades is 13% which exceeds
the platting ordinance, which requires 6%. If the Council approves this
variance, it should be with the understanding that on the steep portion of
the grade, the street is to be concrete with a rough surface. Mr. O'Bannon
said that he would agree to this.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the variance of grade from the platting
ordinance, subject to the property owners agreement to put in concrete
paving on the steep portion of the street. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried
unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF SHELDON MORTENSON'S SIGN AT SKYWOOD MALL, CONTINUATION OF
PERMIT: (On Agenda at Request of Councilman Sheridan)
The City Engineer said that this sign is bigger than the Ordinance allows,
but the building is very low. Mr. Mortenson brought forward a picture of
the sign. Councilman Harris said that he had no objections.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the sign request by Sheldon Mortenson
with the understanding that all signs along the facade are to be the same
height. The motion was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION REGARDING MEADOWLAND PARK DITCH PIPING AND IMPROVEMENTS:
The City Engineer said that last time this was discussed two of the
residents in the area were going to circulate a petition for storm sewer.
He said that he understood that they did not meet with much success. He
said that there is money approved for work on this ditch and he would like
to have it completed this year. Councilman Breider said that he talked to
one man yesterday and he asked him about the possibility of including people
outside of the storm sewer area. The City Attorney said that this would create
many problems. Those people will eventually be in a storm sewer district
of their own. Councilman Breider said that when it was presented, it would
cost about $1400 to $1500 per home. The City Engineer said that the
estimated assessment would be about $700 for a normal size lot.
The question was raised on how much additional the City would have to come
up with, if the figure of $3.05 per 100 square feet (which was the cost in
1966) plus an amount to take into consideration the increases in construction
costs was used. The City Engineer estimated about $40,000 which would have
w to come from other funds. Councilman Harris felt that rather than overburden
one district with a very high assessment, that the figure of $3.05 per
hundred square feet plus an increase to reflect the rising construction costs
should be used. This would leave a balance that the City would have to
stand. The City Engineer pointed out that some of the people would have
a credit due. Councilman Harris said that there will eventually be a need
for a storm sewer anyhow. The City Engineer said that about 90% of the area
is already developed, so there would not be too much added run-off.
Councilman Breider said that he has seen some children in and around the
open ditch. He asked where could the $40,000 come from. The Finance
Director said that he did not have any informatipp available at this time,
