UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Chairman Harris stated that this item would go to the City Council
October 6th, for setting of the Public Hearing for November 10, 1980.
2. PUBLIC HEARING: SPECIAL USE PERMIT, SP#80-10 , BY MARJORIE F.
COULSON : Per Section 205. 051 , 2, A. , of the Fridley City Code
to allow the construction of a second accessory building, a
24' x 26' detached garage, to be located on Lot 8, Block 2,
Meadowlands Addition, the same being 811 Mississippi Street.
MOTION by Mr. Wharton, seconded by Ms. Hughes, to open the Public
Hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS, DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING OPENED AT 8: 05 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated that the request as described, will be located
to the rear if the house, with acess out onto Jackson street.
Mr. Harris questioned if the petitionerhad anything to say?
Mh7 Colsom stated that she had nothing to say.
Mr. Oquist questioned whether she was going to use the new garage
for storage?
Ms. Coulsom stated that she would want to use the new garage for
her car, as the .house the way she had p=r horsed it, has the garage
right under her neighbors bedroom window, and she wanted to get
away from that. She stated that she has no plans at this time
on what she would want to do with the existing garage. She stated
that also it will be easier to enter, onto Jackson, than onto
Mississippi street, as she now does.
Mr. Boardman stated that he has not had an opportunity to talk
to Ms. Coulsom, about this, but that there are future plans to
have a bikeway-walkway along Mississippi Street. He stated that
they had at one time a bikeway-walkway along the street, but that
the County widened the -traffic lanes, and removed the bikeway-
walkway along that lane. He stated that they have been looking
at the possibility quite carefully, on how to get a bikeway-walkway
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETINGS SEPTEMBER 24. 1980 _ _PAGE 6
ICW It
access - onto this street , because it is heavily used for biking.
At this present time , the only way to do this would be to pick
up bikeway-walkway easement from the people along Mississippi ,
who come into the City with requests such as Ms. Coulsom has.
They would like to have a 15 foot easement for the bikeway-walk-
way easement at this time , he stated, which would go from the
property line toward the house.
Ms. Coulsom stated that would run right through the middle of
her yard.
Mr. Oquist questioned why they wanted 15 feet?
Mr. Boardman stated what they are doing in the new zoning code,
is that along all bikeway-walkway areas, they are looking at
taking an additional 15 feet easement. He stated that they
might not need 15 feet, and that it could be dropped to 10 feet. '
He further stated that. for a two-lane bike trail, it would require
8 feet, and that would be in a combination with a sidewalk or
whatever. He stated that on this area there is an existing side-
walk. He stated that after carefully looking at the area, they
have decided that what would be best, would be to put it in on
the south side up to about 7th Street, and then crossing over
to the north side for the rest of the distance. This is primarily
because there are some house with a further setback, from the road,
; and also because of the Hayes School, that they could probably get
an easement un easier than on the other sid--.
Mr. Wharton stated that he himself is a biker, but that he is rather
reluctant to go along with the easement request. He stated that
the City keeps asking its residents to beautify the area with
landscaping, but on the other hand, we then tell them, that if
they plant anything along their sidewalk, to kind of separate
themselves from the traffic on Mississippi Street, that the City
is apt to come along and dig it all up, just about the time that
it is matured to a good hieght, and beautiful. He further stated
that he cannot go along with this arbitary easement, in the anti-
cipation, that somewhere down the line , somebody, might want to
put a 15 foot bike path down the front lawn.
Mr. Svanda questioned what implications were there , if the Comm-
ission did not grant an easement, and then at some date the City
does decide to put in a bike path, what mechanism would the City
have to get the easement, or the properties then?
Mr. Harris stated that it would have to be condemnation then.
Mr. Boardman stated that the implications are, that if they don't
get easements now, that he would doubt, that they ever would be
able to get easements.
Ms. Schnabel stated that what bothers her is that this women has
come in with a request to put a different garage on, and we are
saying, that we will give it to you, but in exchange, we want
15 feet for an easement. She may be the only one along Mississippi
PLANNING�COMMISSION MEETING ,_SEPTE14BER_24 198.0�� _ _PAGE 2-_
Street, to come in with a request withing the next five years, but
just because she happened to come in for the purpose of a garage,
that the City asks her for a 15 foot easement. She stated that
she feels that is unfair.
Mr. Boardman stated that this practice has been done before, and
that he can not see any difference in this instance , as from the
times before that it was done. He then gave examples of some
similar cases and situations that have been before the Commission,
and how they had been handled. He further stated that it has
been done with the commercial and the industrial property, and
through building permits.
Pols. Coulsom stated that she questioned what the City planned on
doing with a bike path through the middle of the yards, with all
the driveways entering into Mississippi? She stated that right
now with all the bikers, on the sidewalk, that it is very difficult
to be cautious.
Ms. Hughes stated that the area that Ms. Coulsom is talking about,
between Hayes School and her house , are reasonably close to the
road, and from about a house or two beyond M s. Coul•som' s are the
houses that are setback, and that she could understand the rationale
in that area. She stated that she is sure that a number of people
along the area have planted trees , hedges, and other vegetation,
just simply to cut down the visual impact from tha road, and the
noise from the traffic, which would be defeated, with some of
these other things. She stated that in terms of whether or not,
they should ask for an easement, on this particular property,
that even if there is an easement, the chances of it actually
being a bike path, as a continuous route , are pretty slim. So ,
that it might not make any difference at all whether the easement,
is dedicated. She stated that this might never come to pass, but
that you really couldn't bank on it either.
Mr. Boardman stated that in the City Plan, that it asks for a
bikeway on Mississippi Street, and in the rezoning code , it is
saying, that where possible , and feasible , that the City needs
15 feet for a bikeway easement, on all properties, where they
come in and ask for something, from the City of Fridley, that
are along designated future bikeway-walkway areas.
Ms. Hughes stated that she felt she would view, with the houses
that sit fairly close to the road, that the addition of a bikeway,
would be a very definite detriment to the property value, of those
houses. She stated that to put a bikeway, with the sidewalk,
in those short front yards, is not going to enhance the values
of those properties.
Ms. Schnabel stated that she concurred with Ms. Hughes viewpoint,
and that also , they are experiencing and increase in traffic,
on Mississippi Street, and therefore, she feels the likelyhood,
r
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, SEPTEMBER_24,_1980 _ PAGE 8
of a bikeway system, if the traffic increase continues, will diminish!
She feels that it is premature , to begin to take easements, because
of this also.
Mr. Oquist stated that he too feels that there is a problem in that
he does not think there is any possible way to get a bikeway on the
street, and with the short front yards, he doesn't know if they
could ever get a bikeway put onto Mississippi , and that maybe they/
should look at another area for a bikeway, with less traffic.
Mr. Boardman stated that Mississippi though is the only large
east-west street that goes from one side of Fridley to the other.
Also it .connects all the residential areas to the Center City area,
if the Center City project is developed the way it is anticipated,
He stated that what was one of the criteria of the bikeway commi-
tee, was the amount of traffic the road has, and that when a certain
number of vehicles, was exceeded, by their limits, then there should
be an off-street biking pathway.
Mr. Wharton statad that he sees that as a falisy, because there
should not be an off-street trail on Mississippi , if that is a
thorough fare , he cannot see making a three mile an hour bike
path so that he can get from his home, down to Snyder drug, on
University Avenue. He felt it would be nicer to take a route
through Rice Creek Terrace , and that back in through there, they
have bike trails coming out of their ears.
MOTION by Ms. Hughes, seconded by Mr. Svanda, to close the Public
Hearing.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS, DECLARED THE
PUBLIC HEARING CLOSED AT 8:27 P.M.
MOTION by Ms. Hughes, seconded by Ms. Schnabel to recommend to
the City Council approval of Special Use Permit, SP #80-10. by
Marjorie F. Coulson: Per Section 205. 051 , 2, A, of the Fridley City
Code , to allow the construction of a second accessory building,
a 24' x 26' detached garage, to be located on Lot 8, Block 2,
Meadowlands Addition, the same being 811 Mississippi Street,
Ms. Hughes stated that she feels this should be approved because
it should enhance safety considerations on backing onto Jackson
Street, versus onto Mississippi street.
Ms. Schnabel questioned if the petition er isn't required to close
off the existing attached garage?
Mr. Boardman stated that there is no such requirement under this
item.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE
MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY.
Chairman Harris informed Ms. Coulsom that this item would be on
the October 6th, City Council Agenda, and advised she be present.

REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 1980 PAGE 6
Councilman Schneider asked if it wouldn't be possible for someone to make the
case that they are not in a Critical Area and come before the Council and make
a request for a rezoning. Mr. Flora stated someone could say these stipula-
tions didn't affect his particular property and apply for variance, but thinks
it is established what is in the Critical Area.
Mr. Herrick asked, for instance, if the Islands of Peace land was vacant and
the Critical Area Plan was in effect, if the City could build on this land.
Mr. Flora stated they probably couldn't, as there would be additional restraints
on the type of construction.
Mr. Herrick felt the staff should take a practical look on what effect these
proposals will have on developable property, and if it is going to adversely
affect development.
Mayor Nee stated his cgncern is if homes were destroyed, if the residents
could rebuild them.
Mr. Qureshi, City Manager, stated the Council could have first reading on
this ordinance and staff would check on the vacant properties to show the
implications. He also stated staff would check into the legal requirements
of the City to have this ordinance and have the City Attorney review it and
submit answers to questions raised, before the second reading of the ordinance.
MOTION by Councilman Barnette to waive the reading and approve the ordinance
upon first reading. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses.
Councilwoman Moses asked if this Critical Area Plan couldn't just include the
plats along the river. Mr. Flora stated the State established a Critical
Area and if it is challenged, it would be asking for the lines to be changed
in the City.
UPON A VOICE VOTE TAKEN ON THE ABOVE MOTION, all voted aye, and Mayor Nee
'declared the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVING THE PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES OF SEPTEMBER 24, 1980:
CONSIDERATION OF A REPLAT, PS #f80-02, REGISTERED LAND SURVEY BY MINNESOTA
TRANSFER, ALONG UNIVERSITY AVENUE EAST SERVICE DRIVE AND 73RD AVENUE N. E.:
MOTION by Councilman Schneider to set the public hearing on this replat for
November 10, 1980. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion c nimously.
CONSIDERATION OF A SPECIAL USE P IT, SP =80=10 L TO LTLGW CONSTRUCTION
OF A SECOND ACCESSORY BUILDING TACHED GAR 11 MISSISSIPPI STREET,
MARJORIE F. COULSON:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this is a request for a special use
permit to allow construction of a second accessory building for a detached
garage at 811 Mississippi Street to be located in the rear of the property.
Mr. Flora stated the size of the garage is 24 x 26 feet and when constructed,
it would allow access from Jackson Street, rather than Mississippi Street.
Mr. Flora stated it was suggested by staff that a 15 foot easement be given
for a bikeway/walkway along Mississippi to support the bikeway system along
Mississippi Street. He stated the Planning Commission recommended approval
of the special use permit, but didn't address the request for the easement
in their motion.
Councilwoman Moses didn't feel it would be appropriate to take an easement
from one property, when you may never get another easement and may never
have a bikeway/walkway there.
91-1
REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 1980 PAGE 5
MOTION by Councilman Fitzpatrick to set a public hearing on this vacation
request for November 10, 1980. Seconded by Councilwoman Moses. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 205 APPROVING THE
CRITICAL AREA PLAN:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated a number of meetings and discussions
were held on the Critical Area Plan since woi,k began on the plan in 1976. He
stated the Critical Area Plan was submitted to the Minnesota Environmental
Quality Board for their review and they have approved the Plan and there is
now a requirement for the City to formally adopt this Plan within 45 days of
the Board's approval .
Mr. Flora stated the various public hearings have been held and would recommend
Council approve the final zoning or implementation portion at this time so they
can address the Critical Area Plan as a total package with the Comprehensive
Plan for the City.
Mr. Herrick, City Attorney, noted one of the excluded uses is a waste treat-
ment facility and questioned the property owned by the Waste Control Commission
near George's in Fridley.
Mayor Nee felt, if the Critical Area Plan was adopted, this would become a
non-conforming use.
Mr. Flora stated the City has the responsibility of controlling its portion
of the Mississippi River Corridor and the Metropolitan Council has review of
the entire plan. He stated this Critical Area Plan would be Chapter 205 of
the Zoning Code and variances and special uses would apply to this as it does
to other sections of the code.
Mr. Herrick questioned the wisdom of making reference tr. Chapter 214 of the .
City Code and to Minnesota Regulation NR 79, as shown on Page 6E, because
these change all the time and it raises the question if the ordinance would
continually have to be revised. He felt it was better not to make the references.
Mr. Herrick questioned the necessity of having such an ordinance since there
are State regulations covering this matter. Mr. Flora stated this is another
area the City has to implement through the Metropolitan Council.
i
j Mr. Flora stated this overlay zone doesn't affect any of the zoning within
the area, but does address specific requirements for any new construction or
any changes in the area. He stated the focus would be on the environmental
aspects or requirements for the preservation of the Mississippi River Corridor
and to address certain items to make sure the bluff line and creeks aren't
damaged in any way.
Mayor Nee stated he feels this involves a lot of people that aren't living
close to the river.
Councilman Fitzpatrick stated he felt the additional control is something the
property owners don't intend to give the City.
Councilman Schneider asked if property owners in the area were aware this is
being considered. Mr. Flora stated public hearings were held in 1976 and
was sure the property owners were notified.
Councilman Fitzpatrick felt, as long as they were talking about the defined
river bank area, then he would agree the hearings over the years covered this
area, but whether they covered the area that is described, he would question
this item.
j
261.
t REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 1980 PAGE 7
Mayor Nee asked, in this area, if any other easements were acquired. Mr.
Qureshi stated the City has easements in the Village Green area and is
currently working with Hayes School for an easement on that property.
Mayor Nee stated he felt this easement shouldn't be tied to the building
permit.
Councilman Schneider stated he also shared the concern of the Planning
Commission in tying these two matters together.
Ms. Coulson was not present at this meeting.
Councilwoman Moses asked if the applicant had plans for the present garage.
Mr. Flora stated there was no requirement at this time that she does something
with the existing garage.
MOTION by Councilwoman Moses to grant special use permit, SP #80-10, to allow
construction of a second accessory building (detached garage) at 811 Mississippi
Street. Seconded by Councilman Schneider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Nee declared the motion carried unamisoulsy.
CONSIDERATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL WORKSHEET FOR MEDTRONICS DEVELOPMENT:
Mr. Flora, Public Works Director, stated this Environmental Assessment
Worksheet (EAW) is the first document to address the environment in regard
to construction. He stated the worksheet is essentially used to determine
if an Environmental impact statement is required.
Mr. Flora stated an EAW was prepared for Medtronic for construction on the
east portion of their property. He stated there is a construction program
for several devel)pments and the EAW addresses the entire scope of that
cunstructi on.
Mr. Flora stated, in the City's review of the EAW, staff did not find any
significant adverse impacts relating to the construction. He stated the
streets can handle the additional traffic, the buildings will meet the
requirements, and landscaping will be provided. He stated the impacts
that are addressed during the construction process, such as noise and dust,
are present in any construction project and, therefore, aren't considered
adverse.
Mr. Flora explained the City is to complete the EAW and submit it to the
Environmental Quality Board for review and approval.
Mr. Mike Perkins, Corporate Facilities Director of Medtronic, stated he
was not prepared for a full presentation this evening, but did have a number
of resource people available to answer questions regarding the construction
project.
Mr. Carl Remick, Architectural Alliance, presented a map showing their
proposed construction project. He stated the new construction would
essentially be all offices with some laboratories and a cafeteria.
Councilwoman Moses asked if there was a need for a traffic signal , would
it be on 69th or 73rd. Mr. Warner, of BRW, Inc. , stated they did a traffic
analysis and didn't think there would be a need for a signal, even in the
year 2,000, but there is always this possibility.
2F,?
s
REGULAR MEETING OF OCTOBER 6, 1980 PAGE 8
Councilman Barnette felt any traffic going south to the signals on Highway 65
and Old Central by Moore Lake would really be a problem. Mr. Warner stated
they looked at this area and projected about 50' of the traffic would be in
this direction. He felt the four-way stop at Mississippi Street and Old
Central and the signal at Old Central and Highway 65 could both handle the
additional traffic.
Mayor Nee questioned Medtronic's flex time schc_dule. Mr. Perkins stated there
is a certain degree of flex time and it is sonithing that can be explored
further.
Mayor Nee questioned the ponding area and if it was designed to its fullest
capabilities. Ms. Nelson, Architectural Alliance, stated it is a detention
pond and the flow is monitored. She stated it would be developed as a feature
pond and retain a few feet to add to the aesthetic value.
Mr. Flora stated Medtronic is currently working with the Rice Creek Watershed
District to determine their requirements.
Councilman Schneider asked if signalization was necessary at 69th, would
Medtronic participate in the cost. Mr. Perkins stated they would have to
look at it at that time and noted, however, thfre are other businesses
contributing to the traffic volume and that would be one of the considerations.
i
Mayor Nee stated the question before the Council now is whether the EAW is
sufficient, or if the Council should ask for an environmental impact statement.
He stated it is the staff's view the EAW provices adequate information for
evaluation of the construction proposal.
Mr. Richard Svana, member of the Planning Commission and Environmental Quality
Commission, stated at the Planning Commission meeting much of the discussion
was centered on the traffic issue. He stated, in reviewir:g a copy of the EAW,
he was surprised not to see any discussion az all about the creosote problem.
Mr. Svana stated, in discussions before the Environmental Quality Commission
and Planning Commission, members of the Pollution Contra! Agency were also
present, and following completion of the presentations, it was his understanding
they were satisified with the progress made in regard to the creosote problem.
He felt the documents and opinions rendered by the PCA on the creosote problem
should be incorporated with the EAW.
Mr. Flora felt there are two issues involved, the creosote problem and the
construction project. He stated the creosote problem is being addressed
both by the MPCA and the Health Department. He stated they are investigating
the soil and water contamination and the type of action to be initiated and
methods of removing the hazardous wastes.
Mr. Flora explained, as a separate issue, the City is looking at the construction
of a building on the property. He pointed out the consideration of the construct-
tion is all being controlled by the MPCA and by the City in the building permit
application in conjunction with all agencies involved.
Mayor Nee felt what Mr. Svana was saying is people are not being put on notice
that there is a creosote problem.
Mr. Svana stated he could give this EAW to someone and they wouldn't even know
there is a creosote problem. He felt the creosote problem was still a piece
of the puzzle and even though they won't be excavating into one of the highly
contaminated areas, the problem is still there.
