PLATS $ SUBDIVISIONS
STREETS & UTILITIES SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING MAY 15 , 1969 PAGE 1
The meeting was called to order by Vice Chairman Thomas Myhra at
7 : 30 P .M.
ROLL CALL:
MEMBERS PRESENT : Crowder , Batterson, Myhra, Zeglen
MEMBERS ABSENT : Jensen
OTHERS PRESENT: Engineering Assistant Clark
1 . CONTINUED VACATION REQUEST: SAV #69-03, GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY
CO. : Alley and Streets in Block 6, Berlin Addition.
The Engineering Assistant reported that as far as the railroad
is concerned, we can await their decision. This request can be
passed to the Planning Commission requesting an easement for a power
line and utilities .
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Batterson, that the Plats $
Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend to the
Planning Commission approval of the vacation request , SAV #69-03 ,
Great Northern Railway Company of the alley and two streets in Block
6, Berlin Addition contingent on the proper utility easements to the
City, Northern States Power Company and Standard Oil Company as they
exist now. Upon a voice vote , all voting aye , the motion carried
unanimously.
2 . LOT SPLIT RE UEST: L. S. #69- 14 STANLEY C . DAHLBERG : Lot 11
Block—�ing alley Addition
Mrs . Stanley Dahlberg and Curtis Dahlberg were present . Curtis
Dahlberg explained there were two different ways shown on a map , and
they request either one . The plan showed the South portion of Lot 11
divided and allowing 25 feet for a road easement .
Because this area had not begun to develop , there being about
five vacant lots left on
64th Avenue it is hard toredi
p ct where the
road at the center of Block 2 , Spring Valley Addition, would go . As
future requests would come in for lot splits the people would then
be asked to dedicate for the road. By permitting narrow lots , the
City ordinance would be violated. It was pointed out that the price
range in this area does not warrent 125 foot lots for homes . It was
felt that by splitting the lot according to line "A" (splitting the
lot into two parcels) , there would be no violations , and later on,
when the area would be developed, the petitioner could consider
another split if feasible . At the present time , a building permit
could not be issued.
Plats & Subs . -Streets & Utilities minutes May 15, 1969 Page 2
The matter of a certificate of survey came up , and the Engineering
Assistant explained that , in this case , where there is plenty of
land between the garage and the line of "A" , and no building permit
can be issued until a road goes through, it may not be necessary for
a certificate of survey inasmuch as , when a building permit is
requested, a certificate of survey would be required . Because of
this , the petitioner could ask Council to waive the requirement .
As far as the legal description of the proposed lot split was concer-
ned, it was felt this would not be complicated.
MOTION by Batterson, seconded by Crowder , that the Plats &
Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend to the
Planning Commission approval of Lot Split #69-14 , Stanley C . Dahlberg ,
of Lot 11 , Block 2 , Spring Valley Addition as shown on the diagram
presented with the request , subject to a 25 foot road easement
across the South portion of the lot , and that the petitioner bring
the suggested legal description to the Planning Commission. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
3. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L . S. #69-15 , ARTHUR DEYS: Lots 3 thru 5 ,
B oI ck 7 , Hyde Parc A-d ition.
Mr. Arthur Deys was present .
The lot split involved Lots 3,4 , and 5 . Lot 4 would be split in
half . Mr. Deys explained that , if the lot split went through, the
existing garage would be on Lot 3 and have to be moved. He planned
to build on Lot 3 , and the existing house , in which he now lives ,
would probably be torn down within a few years . Now it is out of line
with the houses in the rest of the block. The side yard is close .
Vice Chairman Myhra suggested, that as a formality, the Chairman
of the Board of Trustees should submit a statement concurring with
the lot split request .
The question was brought up , regarding the existing house ,
that if the house were torn down could the foundation be built on?
The answer was that it could if it met the building code requirements .
Also, no permit could be issued on the new parcel until the garage
was moved.
MOTION by Crowder , seconded by Batterson, that the Plats $
Subdivisions--Streets $ Utilities Subcommittee recommend to the
Planning Commission approval of L. S. #69-15 with the following
contingencies : 1) Filing necessary paper work of obtaining a 5 foot
work and repair easement for the existing house which will remain in
force as long as the present house location requires an easement .
2) Removal of the garage , 201x12 ' , as shown on the sketch, before
that lot can be further developed. 3) That the Director of the
Board of Fridley Church of Christ submit his approval of this lot
split request . Upon a voice vote , all voting aye , the motion
carried unanimously.
Mr . Myhra suggested that Mr. Deys have the description of the
proposed lot split available for the Planning Commission meeting .
Planning Commission Meeting May 22, _969 Page 4
The audience was informed this would be back on the agenda on June 11 , 1969.
2. LOT SPLIT. REQUEST: L.S. #69-142 STANLEY C. DAHLBERG: Lot 11 , Block 2,
Spring Valley Addition.
Mrs. Stanley Dahlberg and Curtis Dahlberg were present.
Mr. Myhra said the action of the Subcommittee, was to approve the lot split
as shown on the diagram, which split the South 131 .78 feet into two 62.5 lots,
and dedicating 25 feet for a street and utility easement.
Curtis Dahlberg speaking for his father, said part of the area had lot
splits on this order, and they wished to split for two building sites.
Mr. Myhra stated the Subcommittee felt that as long as this pattern had
already been established in the area, and all the houses are on the front of
the lots, which are large lots, they could see that something would have to
be done as there was no road down the middle of the block.
Curtis Dahlberg said these lots would have to be split at some time. He
felt if they were split now, the rest of the people may start splitting theirs.
In other undeveloped areas, the City has a proposed street pattern to be followed
at a later date. As long as the logical street pattern is at the South edge
of the lots, and they dedicate 25 feet, why couldn't that be applicable now?
MOTION by Mittelstadt, seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning
Commission recommend to the City Council that the Lot Split Request, L.S.
#69•-14, of Lot 11, Block 2, Spring Valley Addition by Stanley Dahlberg be
grauted,wsplitting the North 144 feet of Lot 11 , Block 2, Spring Valley
Addition. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the notion carried unanimously.
3. CONTIM REZONING VEST: ZOA -02GEORGE M : NJ of Lots 30
= and 31 , Auditor's Subdivision 129, except the North 125 feet.
Mr. George Nelson, .Mr. Howard Moore and Mr. Dennis Herbst were present.
Darrel Clark reviewed the previous meetings with the Subcommittee. The 4 ,
owners of Lots 28, 22 and 24, really do not want their property zoned, nor a.
road, unless they had a buyer. A road for access out North or South would
satisfy them, but not at this time.
The street under discussion was the West 25 feet of Lot 30 from Onondaga
Street South to a point 25 feet South of the South line of Lot 28. The people
were informed that if sewer and water were not assessed against R-3 property
the value of a lot could not pay for the assessments. The same cost, ,.-
assessed against R-1 property, would not be covered by R-1 value.
Mr. Moore said that Mr. Nelson would be agreeable to the plan for the
West 25 feet to the South line of Lot 28. They would request that the area
involved in the easement be credited to them and returned eventually. They
would liketo see some type of agreement worked out where by if the South
110 feet of Lots 24, 26 and 26 were combined into a common ownership that the
street could be vacated.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1969 PAGE 8
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE UNDER SECTION 12.07 OF THE CITY CHARTER TO VACATE
STREETS AND ALLEYS AND TO AMEND APPENDIX C OF THE CITY CODE: (Portion of
Marshall Street)
Councilman Harris said that this item is brought back upon' his request.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the Ordinance on first reading, waive
the reading and hold up the second reading and publication until N.S.S.S.D. and
Harris Erection have solved their access difficulties. Seconded by Councilman
Liebl. Upon a roll call vote, Sheridan, Kirkham, Liebl, and Harris voting aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
The City Attorney reported that the City of Minneapolis has renewed their
opposition to this vacation.
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF MAY 22, 1969:
1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #69-14, STANLEY DAHLBERG: Lot 11, Block 2, Spring
Valley Addition
The City Engineer explained that the Planning Commission had only approved
the east-west split and not the north-south split. The lot is 125' wide. If
the north-south split is to be approved also, the building sites would be
62.5' X 131.78' . The applicants have agreed to give a 25' road easement
along the south boundary for a future road. Mrs. Stanley Dahlberg and her son,
Curtis Dahlberg are present at the Council Meeting to request that the north-
south split also be granted.
Mr. Curtis Dahlberg said that he was present to represent his father, who
works nights. The Planning Commission had denied the north-south split
leaving a lot 125' X 156.78' and the Dahlbergs felt that this was a very large
lot for an R-1 district, and that other lot splits have been granted in other
areas similar to their request.
Councilman Sheridan asked if there were not lots split in this manner to the
east of their lot. Curtis Dahlberg replied Lots 3 and 5 have been split like
this. The City Engineer agreed and said that the south end of Lot 5 had
been split into 62.5' lots. Mayor Kirkham agreed with the petitioner that
a 125' X 156.78' lot would be a very large lot for this area. Councilman
Sheridan asked if they would not be coming up with a land-locked parcel. Mr.
Dahlberg said that this is the reason for the dedication of the 25' at the
south end of the property. This will provide for a road when it becomes
necessary. It will be the beginning of a developed road pattern.
The City Engineer said that all the lots in this area are deep enough to be
split in this manner. Councilman Harris asked about the discussion the Council
has had regarding requiring attached garages. Councilman Sheridan said that
under the proposed zoning ordinance, one of the requirements in the City will
be building permits for houses must also include a garage with a paved drive-
way. On a 125' lot there would be required an attached garage and the splitting
will not eliminate this feature. Councilman Harris commented that to develop
a home site on this type of lot would require that the house be situated
the long way on the lot. Mr. Paulson commented that on this type of lot it
would be a simple matter to build split level homes. Councilman Harris said
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1969 PAGE 7
The City Engineer said that the reason this temporary easement was requested
was so that the City would not have to trespass on private property for
maintenance of the ditch. The major cost of the storm sewer will be borne by
Spring Lake Park and the Highway Department. The City cleans the ditch if
it gets clogged up. Councilman Sheridan pointed out that the City does not
have an easement now to go onto the land to clean the ditch. Councilman
Samuelson pointed out that most of the flooding occurs at the westerly end of
the ditch. Mayor Kirkham agreed that the temporary easement is not important
and that the permanent easements are already provided on the plat. It was
agreed by the Council that the temporary ditch easement would not be necessary
and that part of the Motion is to be deleted.
THE MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the plat East Ranch Estates Second
Addition requested by Robert A. Schroer was seconded by Councilman Shgridan.
Upon a voice vote, Liebl, Harris, Sheridan and Kirkham voting aye, Samuelson
abstaining, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
RECESS:
Mayor Kirkham declared a 15 minute recess at 8:55 P.M.
(COUNCILMAN SAMUELSON LEFT THE COUNCIL MEETING)
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE UNDER SECTION 12.07 OF THE CITY CHARTER TO
VACATE UTILITY EASEMENTS: (Lots 7 & 8, Block 1, City View, Mrs. Drucilla
A. Sando)
The City Attorney said that the letter in the Agenda on Page 97 is in reference
to this requested vacation. The City Engineer said that this is between 2nd
Street and Main Street and that the street has already been vacated, and now
the owner is requesting that the utility easement be vacated.
The City Attorney said that in this case there is no need for the easement and
although it has been Council policy to retain the utility easements in the
past, it would not be necessary in this case as all the utilities are already
in. There is a court case coming up soon, and rather than get an adverse
ruling, he would advise that this vacation be granted. He said that she and
her neighbor have worked out an agreement for a driveway whereby one would
give an easement to the other. The City Engineer agreed that his department
has indicated that there is no need for the utility easement.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to approve the Ordinance on first reading and
waive the reading. Seconded by Councilman Harrds. Upon a roll call vote,
Harris, Sheridan, Kirkham and Liebl voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried.
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 32 OF THE CITY CODE PERTAINING
TO FIRE PREVENTION AND PROVIDING FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT OF FIRE LANES IN CERTAIN
AREAS OF THE CITY:
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the Ordinance on first reading and
waive the reading. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a roll call vote,
Kirkham, Liebl, Harris, and Sheridan voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried.
• REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1969 PAGE 9
that he wanted to make sure the petitioner understands this procedure when
there are future requests for building permits.
Councilman Sheridan said that/ he did not concur with the Planning Commission,
but would concur with the drawing on Page 99 of the Council Agenda showing
the proposed split as requested by Stanley Dahlberg with the understanding
that there would be a stipulation that these lots, when a building permit is
granted for them, that the biAilding permit include a minimum of a single
attached garage.
The City Engineer pointed out that there should be an easement along the east-
west split for utility poles and drainage. Mr. Dahlberg asked that the
certificate of survey be waived also until the time that a building permit is
applied for.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to approve the Lot Split requested by Stanley
Dahlberg (L.S. #69-14) for Lot 11, Block 2, Spring Valley Addition subject
to dedication of a 25' strip along the south boundary for future road, ease-
ment along the east-west split for utilities and drainage, that building permits
upon the lots must include a minimum of a single attached garage, and waive
the certificate of survey until such time as the land develops. seconded by
Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared
the motion carried.
2. REZONING REQUEST: ZOA #69-02, GEORGE M. NELSON: A of Lots 30 and 31,
Auditor's Subdivision #129, except the North 125 feet. R-1 to R-3A.

the motion carried.,
3. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #69-16, WILLIAM J. KAHLE: Part of Lot 1, Block
1, Worrel's Addition
The City Engineer explained that this is a very small lot split and showed
on a map where the split would be. It would be taking a corner of a lot and
adding it to the lot to the south and west.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to grant the Lot Split request by William
Kahle for part of Lot 1, Block 1, Worrel's Addition and waive the certificate
of survey as there are no buildings involved. Seconded by Councilman Liebl.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the Motion carried.
4. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #69-17, JOSEPH L. SCHROEDL: Lot 4, Block 2,
Moore Lake Highlands Addition
The City Engineer said that this lot split would split 150' into two 75'
lots. They would conform to the standard land requirements of the City. He
suggested granting the split subject to getting a certificate of survey,
MOTION by Councilman Harris to grant the lot split request by Joseph L.Schroedl
for Lot 4, Block 2, Moore Lake Highlands subject to getting a certificate of
survey. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Kirkham declared the motion carried.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 2, 1969 PAGE 10
5. HYDE PARK REZONING STUDY:
The City Engineer explained that the Planning Commission disapproved of the
Plan Circle Flow and recommended Plan Alternative Scheme A-1 prepared by
Nason,Wehman, Knight and Chapman, Inc. Mayor Kirkham said that the Council
is still waiting to hear from the Highway Department concerning the slip-
off ramp. He then read the Planning Commission Minutes to the members of the
audience.
Councilman Liebl questioned what the Chairman meant by his comment on moving
the access further south. Did he mean no access off University Avenue? He
said that he was very much impressed by the accuracy and ingenuity of the City
Manager when he presented his plan to the Planning Cormissipn, Council and
the audience. He asked if the rest of the Council concurred with the Plan
Circle Flow as presented by the City Manager. Mayor Kirkham said that it was
the concensus of the Council that they were in agreement with the plan.
Councilman Sheridan said that he understood the comment of the Chairman to
mean that if the Plan Circle Flow is followed, that the slip off ramp should
be moved further south. Councilman Harris agreed that was the way he under-
stood it.
Mr. Eldon Schmedeke said that he was surprised at the stand taken by the Planning
Commission. They are doing the opposite of what the people want, and he said
that this was very disturbing to him. Mayor Kirkham said that each body makes
their own evaluation, and obviously the Planning Commission's stand is dif-
ferent from that of the Council's, but each body tries to make their deter-
mination to the best of their ability, and for the good of the community.
Councilman Sheridan asked the Council Secretary to point out to the Planning
Commission Secretary an error on Page 2 of the Planning Commission Minutes,
second paragraph, which states "--peat, 6 to 8 inches deep--" which should
read "-- peat, 6 to 8 feet deep--".
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to receive the Minutes of the Planning Commission
Meeting of May 22, 1969. Seconded by Councilman Harris. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.

RIVER ROAD, FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA. (REQUEST BY ROGER L. PETERSON, 7091.
HICKDRY DRIVE, FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA) :
Mr. Roger Peterson was present at the Meeting to give his reasons why he felt
that his request should be granted, even though it was denied by the Board
of Appeals. He said that because of the steep grade of the lot, it would take
about 1000 yards of fill to bring it up oto A lgv9j t9 build upon. The cost of
