by Councilmember Barnette to adopt the proposed consent agenda with removal of

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
OPEN FORUM, VISITORS:
Paul Nealey,
6610 Lucia Lane,was encouraged by the Planning Commission to talk about his
concerns about the traffic on Lucia Lane. There has been increased traffic for the last several
years and the main source of traffic is from the Islamic University School.
Mayor Lund
replied that the police have talked to them and have also been cooperative to try
and do something to lessen the traffic.
Mr. Nealey
said he received confirmation from the Planning Commission that something will be
done to provide temporary traffic relief. Other sources of traffic include commuter traffic that
does not want to wait to turn at the light. Police do have a presence on the street during high
traffic times which has helped slow people down. The neighborhood is hoping that something
permanent will be done to eliminate the traffic from flowing through the area.
Mayor Lund
noted that this is an ongoing issue and staff will continue to speak with the police
to tag traffic violators, especially on busy days.
Mr. Nealey
stated this is a unique street with only one way in and one way out. They do not
want people to move because of the traffic issues and two neighbors have already left.
Councilmember Saefke
asked if they were okay with speed bumps on the street.
Mr. Nealey
replied yes, that will help slow the traffic down.
Wally Wysopal
, City Manager, said the City Engineer would be at the next Council meeting to
provide recommendations to control traffic in that area. Something constructive may be built
later this summer.
Charles Hawkins
, 6520 Lucia Lane, said he lives two houses down from the light and traffic is
really bad outside of his home around 11:30 to 12:00 in the afternoon. Many times he cannot get
out of his driveway. Speed bumps will not help this issue. Something needs to be done. Closing
down the road would help. He does not want to move.
Tom Majkozuk
, 6620 Lucia Lane, said he appreciated that this will be on the agenda for the
next Council meeting. He met with staff, residents and block leaders three summers ago about
this same issue and very little has been done. Something permanent needs to be done and
everyone has been patient for a number of years. This is a great neighborhood and he would like
to stay there.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 4
John Vardas,
6546 Lucia Lane, said the issues have to do with the volume of cars at certain
times of day, inattentive driving, and people speeding down the road. He was interested in what
the long-term plan would be and appreciated anything that could be done short-term.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if the neighborhood would get a report after the meeting.
Mr. Wysopal
replied that the neighborhood would get notice of the proposed changes that will
take place and an invitation to the meeting.
ADOPTION OF AGENDA:
MOTION
by Councilmember Bolkcom to adopt the agenda with the addition of Item Nos. 6 and
7. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
OLD BUSINESS:
10.Second Reading of an Ordinance Repealing and Replacing Chapter 125 of the Fridley
City Code Related to the Licensing of Massage Therapy Businesses and Massage
Therapists;
and
Adopt Official Title and Summary Ordinance
Deb Skogen,
City Clerk, stated that due to alleged criminal activity in the City with businesses
claiming to do massage therapy, staff conducted a study. After thorough research and review, an
ordinance was prepared repealing Fridley City Code, Chapter 125, entitled “Saunas and Massage
Parlors” and replacing it with new language entitled “Massage Therapy Businesses and Massage
Therapists.”
Ms. Skogen
said the ordinance repeals the current language, as it is outdated and the City has not
licensed this type of business in over 20 years. The ordinance was presented to the City Council
at a conference meeting on May 14 and the first reading was held on May 29, 2018. Council
asked staff to provide additional information on two items. First, Section 125.05.1.A(6),
regarding past due taxes and utilities, appeared to be confusing. The language has been changed
to identify what information an applicant is required to provide; and allows the information to be
used in Section 125.10(9) as a grounds for suspension, revocation or denial of a license. Second,
Section 125.05.05.2.J(3) defines proof that an applicant has met academic requirements. This
section allows for an individual who has not met the new educational requirements but has
experience practicing massage therapy and received certification from the National Certification
Board for Therapeutic Massage to obtain a massage therapist license. This alternative path to
licensing ensures experienced massage therapists currently licensed in the City will not be forced
to stop working to complete a new course of education
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 5
Ms. Skogen
stated after the first reading staff mailed letters with the ordinance to licensed
therapists or businesses notifying them of the proposed change in the City Code. Staff received
several telephone calls from individual massage therapists who were concerned about the high
cost of the police investigation for an individual. While they understood and agreed changes
were necessary, they wondered if the fee for the individual could be lowered and whether the fee
would be required each year. After relaying these concerns to the Police Department and City
Manager, it was agreed the individual background investigation fee would be lowered. Staff has
recommended the following change to Chapter 11 fees:
Massage Therapy Business License - $400 (No change)
Business Investigation Fees for Corporations/Partnerships - $400 (new) $200 (renewal)
Business Investigation Fees for Individuals - $200 (new) $100 (renewal)
Ms. Skogen
said staff recommends a motion waiving the reading and adopting the second
reading of an ordinance Repealing and Replacing Chapter 125 Related to the Licensing of
Massager Therapy Businesses and Massage Therapists.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked for an explanation on number 6 on page 84.
Ms. Skogen
replied if they are delinquent on utilities, for example, it could be a basis for denial.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked how staff decides if it was basis for denial.
Ms. Skogen
replied it depends on each applicant. If staff thought there was basis for denial, it
would be brought to City Council.
Mayor Lund
noted it does not matter if they are in arrears, they must meet the requirements on
page 87.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked how staff determines when it is okay and when it is not.
Ms. Skogen
replied this gives staff grounds to deny a license.
Wally Wysopal
, City Manager, this gives Council a reason whether or not to grant a license.
Attorney Jay Karlovich
, City Attorney, said they have looked at city ordinances in the League
of Minnesota Cities and they tried to come up with the best language.
Mayor Lund
asked staff to look at the language on the bottom of page 14. It did not read right.
Attorney Karlovich,
said they will try to improve that language.
Ms. Skogen
noted that sometimes a person is filing on behalf of the corporation.
Attorney Karlovich,
said a person can include a corporate entity. Person or entity or other type
of language could be used.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 6
Cynthia Miller,
Owner of Duir Massage, said the timing of this is not great since all licenses
were renewed in April. She just signed a three-year lease in February and now is having to pay
$900 in August. She has a small operation and to come up with that type of fee is not easy. She
has been working in Fridley for four years and does not have a large client base to come up with
those fees.
Ms. Skogen
reviewed the fees. There is a business fee of $400, an investigative fee of $0, an
individual fee of $200, and then $40 and $25 for a total of $675.
Ms. Miller
appreciates the lowered fee, but the timing still is not great.
Mayor Lund
said the reason for this license fee is because there are issues with some massage
businesses in Fridley. When the industry fails to manage their businesses, unfortunately the
government steps in and there is a cost to do that.
Ms. Miller
asked if this could be for next year for those who already have licenses renewed this
year.
Ms. Skogen
replied that the license is from May 1 to April 30. Staff could consider an
accommodation for those with renewed licenses this year. Something similar has been done in
the past.
Mayor Lund
said he thought it made sense to reduce the first year fees for those with renewed
licenses.
Councilmember Bolkcom
said that an investigation would still need to be done. Next year
businesses would not have the additional fees. Whatever the cost is for staff to complete the
inspection should be covered in the fees.
Ms. Skogen
said another possibility would be for businesses to make payment increments rather
than paying the full amount upfront.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if there would be no new investigation for someone that
already has a license.
Ms. Skogen
replied yes.
Attorney Karlovich
said at this time, staff does not have a good estimate on what the costs will
be. These charges are about in the middle of where most cities are for fees.
Mayor Lund
thought it made sense for existing businesses to pay for the investigation fee and
licensing.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked staff to review the fees and bring it back to Council at the next
meeting.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 7
Ms. Miller
was concerned about HIPPA regulations for client files when police come in to do
their investigations.
Ms. Skogen
replied the HIPPA laws refer to medical information and the police would be
looking at financial records, tax returns, and any criminal activity.
Mayor Lund
added that certain things cannot be looked at unless there was a search warrant.
Ms. Miller
said she works late nights and alone so safety is important. She does support what
staff is proposing but is concerned about the fees that are being assessed.
Ms. Skogen
noted the City is following what several other cities have done to adopt similar
ordinances.
Ms. Miller
said it is unfortunate the State does not regulate this industry like other businesses.
Sharon Sloper,
Massage Therapist, said she has been working to get this type of licensing since
1992. She encourages the license and encourages Council to consider when therapists move here
from another state to recognize their certifications because they have met the criteria for that
state.
Councilmember Bolkcom
said that should be part of the investigation.
Ms. Skogen
said staff could look into that request and bring back to Council.
Ms. Sloper
noted that the requirements are very consistent across the board.
MOTION
by Mayor Lund to table this item for further clarification. Seconded by
Councilmember Barnette.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.

MOTION CARRIED AND THE PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 8:22 P.M.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 8
Scott Hickok,
Community Development Director, stated a 2005 code enforcement case resulted
in staff discovering that Sam’s Auto Parts owner, Barry Hoosline, was not in compliance with
zoning or with conditions of a Special Use Permit to operate a junk yard on the site. Mr.
Hoosline obtained the necessary land use approvals in 2007 and was given various timelines to
meet for several stipulations. A rezoning of some of the parcels used for the business was
granted, a variance to fence height was granted, a special use permit was granted that allows the
junk yard use and the stipulations made to the land use items were approved. The owner has
made progress.
Mr. Hickok
said that other improvements included landscaping and a screen fence. The west
gate was removed. The following stipulations remain unfinished:
Pond liner needs to be installed (was due 2009)
rd
73 access needs to be poured (was due 2010)
Customer parking lot needs to be paved
rd
73 Ave gate needs to be properly screened
Mr. Hoosline also needs to purchase the 7340 Central lot, so they can combine all four lots. The
owner indicates they have contractors lined up to complete the work and they can complete the
remaining incomplete stipulations by the end of June.
Mr. Hickok
said staff recommends proceeding with the public hearing because of many past
unmet extension deadlines. Staff has been lenient due to the owner’s health and financial issues.
Staff recommends the City Council continue tonight’s public hearing until July 9, 2018.
Pat Hoosline
stated that contracts are in place to complete the projects by the end of June, and
15 of the 18 stipulations have been completed.
Mayor Lund
asked if it could be completed within the timeframe allowed.
Mr. Hooseline
said everything is in order for completion and it will be finished within the
timeframe. The only problem would be weather or if the contractors do not show up, but signed
contracts are in place.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked why it took so long to get it done.
Mr. Hooseline
replied health issues.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked after this is completed if the business would be in compliance.
Mr. Hickok
noted the chain link gate on the south side needs to be fixed.
MOTION
by Councilmember Barnette to continue the public hearing to July 9, 2018. Seconded
by Councilmember Varichak.

UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE

8:34 P.M.
Paul Bolin,
HRA Assistant Executive Director, stated Hyde Development is purchasing and
redeveloping the former All Temp storage building located at 5101 Industrial Boyulevard,
immediately north of their current Northern Stacks business park. The site is contaminated and
the building requires significant changes to meet today’s industry needs. In addition to their
$10M investment in acquisition, renovation and a portion of the contamination clean up, Hyde
Development needs $660,000 in TIF from the HRA and another $680,000 in state grants to clean
up the contamination.
Mr. Bolin
noted the TIF funds used for the renovation of commercial and industrial buildings at
the site are to allow for the Vapor Mitigation construction, construction of a heavy-duty drive,
light duty parking and truck court pavements as engineered barriers for contaminated soil,
construction of additions to permanent storm water system/construction of new storm pond to
prevent infiltration through contaminated soil, construction of green space areas and
modification of existing grade through excavation and placement of contaminated soil.
Mr. Bolin
said staff recommends Council adopt the resolution
Paul Hyde,
Hyde Development, reviewed the current plan and progress. They are able to utilize
the existing building so the rental rates will be lower. The cleanup plan is done and has been
approved by the state. The design will look like the other Northern Stacks building.
MOTION
by Councilmember Bolkcom to close the public hearing. Seconded by

asked about repairs and storage of the units.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 10
Deb Skogen
, City Clerk, replied that the County will pay for purchase of the equipment. The
unit is size of a tackle box, so it will not be an issue to store. Contracts are in place with the
County for maintenance and they would come to here or staff would bring the equipment to the
County for repair.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if staff knew what the charges for repair would be.
Ms. Skogen
said that at the last election a ballot box fell over and repairs were $150.
MOTION

sections. Metropolitan Council requested those changes which is what held up the agreement.
Councilmember Bolkcom
asked if the work would be done to our satisfaction.
Mr. .Wysopal
would check with Mr. Kosluchar and report back to Council.

MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY.
14.Preliminary Plat Request, PS #18-03, by Cornerstone Private Asset Trust Co., LLC,
FBO Gary Valley, to Subdivide one Large Single-Family Lot to create Three Single-
Family Lots, Generally Located at 6663 Lucia Lane N.E. (Ward 2)
Scott Hickok
, Community Development Director, stated the petitioner is requesting a
preliminary plat to allow the subdivision of one large single family lot to create three single
family lots. The existing lot is 81,515 square feet. The proposed Lot #1 which is where the
existing house and garage is, will be 30,950 square feet in size and 75 feet wide. Lot #2 which
is where the older garage is located will be 10,540 square feet in size and 75 feet wide. Lot #3
will be 40,000 square feet in size and 144 feet wide. The petitioner notes that the reason Lot #3
is so large is because they want to keep it as close as they can to allow connection to the sanitary
sewer in the street. The reason that Lot #2 has a jog to it is to ensure it has the 75 feet of width
that is required and to also make sure the existing garage on Lot #2 will meet the 5 foot setback
requirement for an accessory structure.
Mr. Hickok
said that as a result of neighbors’ concerns related to traffic on Lucia Lane, City
staff met with the Islamic University last week and informed them that we are looking at doing a
few traffic calming initiatives along Lucia Lane to help the concerns of the neighbors. Those
items include:
Install a speed limit sign along Lucia Lane.
th
Install a curb extender on the corner of 68 Place and Lucia Lane to prevent motorists
th
from going southbound on Lucia Lane from 68 Place and the Highway 65 Service
Drive.
Install a speed hump or two along Lucia Lane to slow the overall traffic through the
neighborhood.
Mr. Hickok
noted that the Planning Commission held a public hearing for PS #18-03 on May
16, 2018. After receiving the neighbor’s letters and hearing from the audience, the Planning
Commission recommended approval of Plat Request, PS #18-03. The motion carried
unanimously. City Staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission and approval
of the Preliminary Plat, PS #18-03, with eight stipulations.
Councilmember Varichak
asked if this is the first time neighbors have seen this improvement
plan to the street.
Mr. Hickok
replied Engineering staff just designed this and communication with the
neighborhood will happen in the near future.
Councilmember Varichak
wondered how this would affect the people in the neighborhood.
FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 11, 2018 PAGE 12
Mr. Hickok
replied that neighbors would prefer to have a cul-de-sac there. Although this is not
a cul-de-sac, it will be an improvement from what is currently on the street.
Councilmember Bolkcom
said it states the house had to be constructed within two years or the
garage would need to be torn down. She asked if there was a stipulation that the garage needed
to be comparable in design to the house.
Mr. Hickok
replied the ordinance specifies R1 structures must be architecturally compatible.
Mayor Lund
asked about the traffic design and if that would come out of the street budget.
Wally Wysopal
, City Manager, reminded Council that they are not approving the traffic
redesign but the preliminary plat. The traffic redesign will be presented at the next meeting.
MOTION
by Councilmember Varichak to approve Preliminary Plat Request, PS #18-03, by

17.Motion to Suspend Individual Massage Therapy Licenses.
Deb Skogen
, City Clerk, stated that Fridley City Code Chapter 125 entitled “Saunas and
Massage Parlors” allows for an exemption to individuals practicing massage therapy under
Section 125.03. Section 125.04 defines saunas and massage parlors and requires a business
license. Section 205.15.1.C(13) requires a special use permit to operate a sauna and massage
parlor. A recent inspection provided proof that two businesses in Fridley have violated:
Section 125.04 for failing to obtain a massage parlor business license.
Section 205.15 for failing to obtain a special use permit.
Section 125.12 defines the restrictions and regulations of a massage parlor.
Section 125.12.5 allows for an examination and inspection of every part of the business
by a police, fire or health authority during normal business hours.
Section 125.12.6 states the licensed premises shall be kept and maintained in a sanitary
condition.
Section 125.15 allows for a license revocation, suspension or non-renewal by the City
Council upon recommendation of the City Manager.
Section 125.3 states the licensee shall not engage in conduct or permit any conduct
involving moral turpitude.
Section 125.4 states failure to comply with any requirements of the City Code regarding
sanitary and safety conditions, zoning or building code requirements, ordinances,
violation which involves moral turpitude or noncompliance with any requirements of
