PLATS & SUBDIVISIONS-
STREETS & UTILITIES SUBCOMMITTEE JUNE 17, 1970 PAGE 1
The meeting was called to order at 7:05 P.M. by Chairman Schmedeke.
ROLL CALL:
Members Present: Crowder, Schmedeke, Zeglen
Member Absent: Meissner
Others Present: Darrel Clark, Engineering Assistant
1. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L S 470-08, FREDERICK A SKOG: Ten feet of Lot 17
to be added to Lot 18, Block 2, Parkview Oaks 1st Addition.
Mr. Skog was present and explained that for seven years now, the "sharp
cliff", belonging to his neighbor, and partly behind the garage, has been
unimproved. There are rocks in the grass so that it can't be mowed. His
neighbor, Mr. Harris, said he would give him ten feet of this area. Mr. Skog's
garage is 3� feet from the South property, which was a mistake when the house
was built. If he had the ten feet, he would make good use of the extra land
for patio, and other recreational purposes. Mr. Skog said his neighbor's
house was probably 4 or 5 feet higher than his garage level. The whole area
is on a hill. There is a drainage easement North/South and East/West. The
gully to the South is sodded for drainage but when water comes down from
the hill, the dirt comes with it.
The Engineering Assistant said that he felt if the two neighbors could
divide the property up, as far as the City is concerned, there would be no
objection. The easement would still be there the same as it is now. The
description would be simple "the North 10 feet of Lot 17".
MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Zeglen, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend approval to the Planning Commission
of the Lot Split.request, L.S. #170-08, by Frederick A. Skog for the North 10
feet of Lot 17, to be added to Lot 18, Block 2, Parkview Oaks lst Addition.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
2. LOT SPLIT REQUEST• L S #70-09, WENDELL ELLIOTT: South 20 feet of Lot 1,
Block 1, Sandhurst Addition deeded to Lot 2.
Mrs. Wendell Elliott was present.
f
i The Engineering Assistant said that the two lot splits were similar, except
in this case, the land had already been deeded. The petitioner is the person
who sold the 20 feet. The reason for the lot split request is to make the
transaction legal because a new street is being built and Mr. Elliott does
not wish to pay for the special assessments. Mr. Elliott owns Lot 1 and all
the Subcommittee is concerned with is that he has sold off 20 feet. Referring
Plats & Subs.-Str. & Util. Subcommittee June 17 1970 Page 2
to the drawing on Page 5 of the Agenda, Darrel Clark said that in subsequent
years, there has been other lot splits over a period of 10 years. On four lots,
five homes have been built.
Mrs. Elliott said there was approximately 52 feet between the houses, 20
feet between Mr. Sampson's garage and the new line and something around 40 feet
between their house and the new lot line.
MOTION by Zeglen, seconded by Crowder, that the Plats & Subdivisions-
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee recommend approval to the Planning Commission
of the Lot Split request, L.S. #70-09, by Wendell G. Elliott, splitting off
the South 20 feet of Lot 1, Block 1, Sandhurst Addition to be added to Lot 2,
Block 1, Sandhurst Addition. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion
carried unanimously.
r
3. PROPOSED PRELIMINARY PLAT: P.S. #70-01, ROGER M. JONES: Part of the SW's
of the NW-4 of Section 2 for golf driving range - M-2 zoning.
Mr. Al Davies, Mr. Fred E. Jones and Mr. Roger M. Jones were present to
discuss the petition.
The Engineering Assistant stated that last fall Mr. Jones first proposed the
golf driving range. The land was purchased under an agreement that he would
get a Special Use Permit for a driving range. The permit was processed through
the Board of Appeals and Council approved subject to the dedication of 30 feet
for 81st Avenue, also the Easterly 30 feet for Main Street and also a 50 foot
looped service drive across the Easterly edge which is adjacent to University
Avenue.Because this would be a very long description, Mr. Jones agreed to
plat and record it prior to some time this early fall. At this time he will
be platting the South 400 feet of the Southwest Quarter of the Northwest
Quarter and put up a temporary type building on the East side of the service
drive. He has a three year agreement with the opportunity of renewing unless
the area begins to develop.
Referring to the loopback at the Southeast corner of the proposed plat,
this is back from the highway to give more room for traffic. It was brought
up that this would give another site for a filling station, however, it is 1.3
Acres and would not necessarily have to be a filling station. The plat and
the area around it was zoned heavy industrial.
Speaking of roads, Darrel Clark said that there was no reason to build a
road until the land is developed, but when one is built, it will be 9 Ton
design.
Mr. Fred Jones said that the golf driving range was something they hoped
would support the cost of the property until industry would build. They were
contract purchasers of the property.
Mr. Crowder asked if Mr. Jones could provide an entrance to University
Avenue. Darrel Clark answered the Highway Department has built an approach
and it is blacktopped goint to the property line at 81st Avenue. The street
pattern lines up with those in East Ranch Estates 2nd Addition which is to the
South of 79th Avenue. North of 85th Avenue, there is land being purchased by
the City for Open Space.
Planning Commission Meeting - June 17, 1970 Page 5
Mr. Skog explained that he has the opportunity to obtain 10 feet from the
North edge of Lot 17 which would give him 10 more feet alongside his garage.
The basketball area could then be in the back instead of the front yard. It
would not be long before the children would be owning their own cars and this
will create a parking place alongside the garage for the extra cars, if he
needs it. The bank will be cut back. If his neighbor were to fill this, it
would cost him a lot money, and it is quite a distance from his house. His
garage was built too close to the line to begin with.
The Engineering Assistant said that 6 feet of the 10 feet is an utility
easement and Mr. Skog does not intend to build a structure on it.
MOTION by Harris, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission recom-
mend approval of the lot split request, L.S. #70-08, Frederick A. Skog, to
split the North 10 feet from Lot 17 and add to Lot 18, Block 2, Parkview Oaks
1st Addition. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
5. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #70-09, WENDELL ELLIOTT: South 20 feet of Lot 1,
Block 1, Sandhurst Addition deeded to Lot 2.
Mrs. Wendell Elliott was present.
Mr. Schmedeke explained the Subcommittee heard this request tonight also.
The land involved had been deeded several years ago, but Mr. Elliott continued
to pay the special assessments. However, now a road is being built, and unless
the lot split was done legally at the City level, he would be paying the
assessments for the new road.
The Engineering Assistant said that this 20 feet, which was deeded, actually
is at grade with the neighbor and below the grade of the Elliott lawn and it
does look logical. Both houses have about the same distance to the new lot
line.
MOTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning Commission
recommend approval to the Council of the Lot Split, L.S. #70-09, Wendell
Elliott, splitting the South 20 feet of Lot 1, Block 1, Sandhurst Addition and
deeding it to Lot 2, Block 1, Sandhurst Addition. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
6. STREET SIGNS IN COLUMBIA HEIGHTS: On 40th Avenue between Central Avenue
and University Avenue.
Mr. Schmedeke again spoke about the difficulty of seeing the street signs
in Fridley at night. The street signs he referred to in Columbia Heights are
quite large, and he thought a sign of this type should be placed on the main
arterial streets, such as Mississippi Street, 7th Street, T.H. #47, etc. If
there were new men on an ambulance or fire truck, it would be easier for them
to see the signs at night. He did not believe in taking down every sign, but
to gradually replace them. He said the signs in Fridley look good and are
easy to read during the day. The Engineering Department was to contact D. W.
Harstad Co. to inquire about costs.
Continued. No action.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 6, 1970 PAGE 6
3. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. #70-08, FREDERICK A. SKOG: _North 10 feet of Lot
17 to be added to Lot 18, Block 2, Parkview Oaks 1st Addition.
The City Engineer reported that the Planning Commission recommended approval of
the request for this lot split. It merely takes a small section of land from
one lot and adds it to the adjacent lot. He then passed out a map of the area
to the Council. He said that this split would give the people a little more
room. Councilman Sheridan commented that he recalled this house was one that
the builder set the wrong way on the lot.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan to approve the lot split requested by Frederick
A. Skog. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
or
X-- 4. LOT SPLIT.REQTJEST: L.S.. #70-09, WENDELL ELLIOTT. South 20 feet of Lot 1,
Block 1, Sandhurst Addition deeded to Lot 2.
The City Engineer- said that this would be splitting the south 20' and deeding it
to Lot 2. The Planning Commission approved of the request. This is the way the
people have been maintaining their -lots and this would just .make the, split
legal. This is necessary at this time as there are street improvements going
in on Hartman Circle and the correct person shout be--assessed.
MOTION by Councilman.Breider--to approve the lot split requested by Wendell
Elliott. The motion was seconded and upon a voice:.-vote,-All voting aye,
Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
MOTION by Councilman Breider .to .receive. the Minutes.--of the Planning Commission
Meeting of June 17, 1970. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
CONSIDERATION OF SECOND READ.ING.OF AN ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE CITY CODE OF THE
CITY OF FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA BY MAKING A. CHANGE IN ZONING DISTRICTS .(ZOA #70-04) :
Rezoning area generally located at the corner of 73rd Avenue and Central Avenue
N.E. by .Cpl. James.L. Robinson by G.D.. Giancola, his Attorney.
The City Engineer said that there were three items that need tobe considered.
This is in Central Avenue Addition. All the'property is owned by one property
owner at this time. It is being split to make a gas station site. The
Planning Commission recommended approval of the lot split, special use permit
and the rezoning. He said-that he would recommend-that an additional 15' be
obtained along the .northerly.side of the property., acrose Central Avenue Addition
to get an additional turning lane.
Mr. G.A. Giancola .said that the plans have been submitted to the City Engineer.
He said that he is in possession of a letter agreeing to deed the northerly
15' as requested. The City Engineer said that he had.hoped to shift the whole
plat 15' to the south as his feeling was that this is not adequate property for
development-.as a gas station site. Mr. Giancola said that -he had met with the
City Engineer and they went over this problem. He-felt that if 15' was deeded
across the north, this would suffice and still give room for the exits and
entrances.
Councilman Liebl asked if they were in agreement with the Planning. Commission's
recommendation for evergreens along the west of the building. Mr. Giancola
came forward with the plans and showed him how the shXAWY was planned. It
„.
does show shrubbery as a buffer zone on the west and south sides.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JULY 6, 1970 PAGE 5
their homes with this new street. Because the street is not full right of way
width, and never has been, his suggestion to the Council is that the people
in Donnays Addition on 57th and Madison be excluded from the assessment for
the improvement of Lakeland Avenue-and Jefferson Street. He added that he
understood that the streets would be done in 1970 and would be on the assessment
rolls in 1971.
Mr. Ed. Marciniac, 601 58th Avenue N.E. , said that the east 30' has been in-
corporated into their lots.
Councilman Liebl said that if there is a motion made, he would like to comment
that this is not full right of way width and the previous Council gave � of
the street to Donnay, so that is part of their property. This makes this a
specific case, and he felt that the people backing onto Jefferson could not be
assessed that front on Madison. The street is there for the people living on
the west side and they should bear their share of the assessment. Since there
is no curbing, the assessment would be less. Councilman Sheridan said that
the Council never vacated the east � of the street, as it was never dedicated.
If the platting of Donnays Addition had gone in as the Adams Street Addition
in' the normal grid pattern, they would have had to dedicate part of the plat for
street purposes.
MOTION by Councilman Sheridan that the east properties on Jefferson from Lakeland
(57th) to 58th, and Lakeland from Jefferson to 7th Street on the south not be
assessed the 25% assessment for the street improvements. This is no deviation
from the normal assessment policy on double frontage lots as there was never
full right of way. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the motion carried.
MEETING WITH GEORGE M. HANSEN COMPANY:
Mr. George M. Hansen was not present at the Council Meeting.
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 17, 1970:
1. SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP #70-05, CPL. JAMES L. ROBINSON BY G.D. GIANCOLA,
HIS ATTORNEY: To construct a service station on Lots 1 'hru 6, Lot 9,
North 68 feet of Lot 20, Central Avenue Addition.
The City Engineer said that the Planning Commission recommended approval of the
special use -permit and that this item could be discussed all at the same time
under consideration of the rezoning ordinance, the next item on the Agenda.
2. VACATION REQUEST: SAV #70-04, CPL. JAMES L. ROBINSON BY G.D. GIANCOLA,
HIS ATTORNEY: Vacation of Brook Street - immediately south and abutting
Central Avenue Addition.
The City Engineer reported that the vacation was approved by the Planning
Commission and the Council action would be to set the Public Hearing for
August 10, 1970.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to set the Public Hearing date of August 10, 1974
for the vacation requested by Cpl. James L. Robinson. Seconded by Councilman
Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Harris. Pro tem declared the
motion carried.
