wasn't a quo 9
but he had informed administration that he
would be tardy to arevious
due p
commitment. '
At 8:40- P.M. Chairman Harris said they would start the discussion on the
first item on the agenda. -
1 . PUBLIC HEARING: REQUEST FOR A SPECIAL USE PEP,MIT,,
SP #75 04 THOMAS MILES:
1
To allow construction of a 20 ft. x 30 ft. greenho , per idley City Code,
Sectio ,
n 205.051 3,A, to be located on Lot 16, Auditor s Subdivision No. 22,
zoned R-1 (single family dwelling areas) . the same being 1370 Rice Creek Road �
N.E.
i
e -
Mr. Thomas Miles was present.
Chairman Harris explained that the Public Hearing couldn't be opened until
they hada quorum.
�
Y
Mr. Clark explained that on Friday, May 2, 1975, Mr. Miles was in our office,
as he was previous s to that date, asking about building a greenhouse. We never
discussed that location or the size of the greenhouse. Mr. Clark continued that
he improperly assumed that Mr. Miles was talking about a typical greenhouse that }
you see in the rear yard of some residences in Fridley, On May 5, which was a f
Monday, someone from our City staff drove by 1370 Rice Creek Road and called it
to our attention where this greenhouse was being constructed, which was in the
.when he researched the
said that
front yard at 1370 Rice Creek Road. Mr. Clark . Miles
had°obta
es fined a building �
i
records, he realized it was the greenhouse which Mrput a stop work order
t and
P went out p
permit for on May 2nd. Mr. Clark said h_ then p a variance
u
on this construction, and informed
Mr.
Miles that need to request q
he would
for the location of this greenhouse which would be 33 feet from the street right of
way, and a request for a Special Use Permit, because this was a second accessory
building that was over 240 square feet. Mr. Miles made both these requests , and
the variance was commended for approval by the Board of Appeals subject to
the Special Use being approved.
Mr. Clark said that Mr. Miles had originally asked if he could grow planting
stock and sell it. Mr. Clark said he told him that he could not. Once Mr. Miles
was delayed, he decided he might as well ask for the Special Use Permit that would
allow him to do this, and that was what the Planning Commission was hearing at this
meeting. Mr. Miles was asking to construct this greenhouse and then be allowed to
sell planting g stock
from this greenhouse. He said that there were no neighbors at
a
the Board of Appeals meeting objecting to this request, and there was no one present
at this meeting w anyobjections.with �ob'ections. Mr. Clark said that if Mr. Miles was granted this
Special Use Permit, he though it should be stipulated that no one outside his immed-
iate family 1 could be hired to help Mr. Miles grow this stock, and he shouldn't be
allowed to bring stock from other location to sell from this greenhouse. He should
just be able to sell what he grows himself.
Charman Harris said this should be operated as a typical home occupation.
Planning Corranission Meeting - June 4, 1975 Page 2
Mr. Miles said he thought ter. Clark had explained his position quite well , but
in regard to the stock, he would have to purchase the parent stock to get this
grec:;:lhouse going. He said he would like to get this Special Use Permit as soon
as possible, because he already had invested over $1 ,000 in this project. He
said he already had most of the structure up. He said he had drawn a rough sketch
to obtain the building permit, and it had been issued, so he had started construction
right away. He said this s',:- ch did show that it would be in the front yard.
Mr. Clark said the staff did make the error. Mr. Miles was granted a building
permit, and he did get permission to go ahead, which he did in good faith. Mr.
Clark said part of the reason the error was made was that both times Mr. Miles
came into the office at City Hall , there were about five people at the counter, and
we were trying to help all of them at the' same time. He said that if more time
had been given to Mr. Miles , and the location had been discussed, we would have
known-right away what he needed before the building permit was issued. Mr. Clark.
said that when he was given the building permit to sign, he did look up the roof
design, and stipulated that the roof load had to be 10 pounds per square foot. Mr.
Miles left City Hall on Friday with the building permit, and on Monday, a ;stop work
notice was posted.
Mr. Clark said that he didn' t think the Planning Commission and Council should
grant this Special Use Permit, just because the staff made an error. We made an
error, and we just have to accept that. He said that legally, Mr. Miles has stated
that he already has an $1 ,000.investment in this construction, and it was already
half up, so we might have some responsibility there, if this was denied. Mr. Clark
said this Special Use Permit should be considered as if the construction hadn 't
been started.
Mr. Miles said he had discussed this with the neighbors on both sides of this
property and they had no objection.
Mr. Clark said they have a written, agreement: from
one neighbor.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Miles how he proposed to sell stock .from this greenhouse?
Mr. Miles said heintended to sell from the site, and he worked for a wholesale florist
and thought he could sell some of his stock there.
Mr. Harris asked how he would get people to come to this location? Mr. Miles
said p
he would put u a small sign on the greenhouse. He said he didn' t
id he thought P.,
think parking would be any problem- because they have a large lot with two horse shoe
driveways. Mr. Clark said they had between 400 feet to 500 feet of driveway on
this property.
Mr. Miles said he w propagating would be his own stock from parent plants. Mr.
Clark said the house at 1370 Rice Creek Road sits a long way back from the road ,
as does the house on Lot
15. He said the house on Lot 17 faces Central Avenue
and was quite close to Rice Creek Road.
Mr. Clark said the reason for the location of this greenhouse was because
the greenhouse
the lot was heavily wooded. There was a row of evergreens between 9
location and the street. Just beyond the greenhouse, there were a lot more trees
which makes a very shaded area. Where Mr. Miles wants to locate this greenhouse
was the only open space where this structure could get the sun.
Mr. Wyman Smith, who was present on another request, pardoned himself for
butting into this request, but he said as far as he knew, there should still be a
statute on the books that permits anyone raising farm produce to sell it most
Planning Commission Meeting-_June 4, 1975 _ Page3
i
any place, and he thought that still applied. He said he knew the present zoning
codes may have had some modification, but our original zoning codes, and the
original zoning codes for all communities , did have greenhouses as an allowed use
in a residential district. '
Mr. Harris said it was the size of this greenhouse that required a Special
Use Permit. It was over 240 square feet, and it was a second accessory building.
Mr. Richard Wallin, 6761 Madison Street N.E. , a friend of Mr. Miles , said that
this was just a temporary building that would only be up about five years. fair.
Harris asked if this would be anchored down. Mr. Clark said it would.
Mr. Miles showed the plans for the greenhouse. There were posts that would
be anchored in the ground. The building had metal hoops that would be draped
with a special plastic for greenhouses.
Mr. Clark said the definition in the City Code doesn' t differentiate �tv,cen
a temporary and a permanent building.
Mr. Peterson came to the meeting at 9:00 P.M. and Mr. Harris said they could
now follow normal procedure, as they had a quo'.�um.

Chairman Harris brough Mr. Peterson up to date on the discussion.
Mr. Peterson asked. if there was any objection from the neighbors on this
request. Mr. Harris said no.
Mr. Clark said Mr. Miles was a student at Anoka Ramsay studying horticulture,
and he wants to practice this at home. Mr. Miles said he intended to transfer to
the University of Minnesota to continue his education in this field.
Mr. Langenfeld said he had one question for curiosity' s sake. He asked Mr.
Miles if lie had insured this greenhouse"? He said he was an insurance underwriter
and he thought this would have to be insured as a commercial venture. Mr. Miles
said he thought it was covered under homeowners insurance, and he thanked Mr.
Langenfeld for calling this to his attention , and he said he would check on this
. because it would be quite a large investment for him to lose.
Mr. Lindblad asked Mr. Miles if he would agree to dismantlb this greenhouse
. Planning Commission Meeting - June 4, 1975 Pale 4
and dispose of it, if he should quit this business, and not use it for any other
use than as a greenhouse. Mr. Miles said that was all he intended to use this

now it was going to be a completely diff rent location. The petitioner has withdrawn
his request for the old location, and this new location was going to be just north
of the Town Crier Pancake House. H said there were a couple of items that:
the petitioner would have to take care of before they could start construction, if
this Special Use Permit was approved. One was, that they have to appear before
Building Standards which was was sche uled for June 5th, and the other was , that they
would have to apply for, 'and get app oval for, a lot split or a plat. The Planning
Commission have previously approved of splits for both the pancake house and
Capp Homes , and this location fits at plan which Mr. Schroer had shown us, and
which might go into effect at some uture date.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 16, 1975• PAGE 13
Councilman Starwalt said he felt his fence was hazardous but it is constructed in actor-
dance with the City Code. He suggested several changes in the distances that the fencing
should be plated from the street in this kind of case and said this case is not as bad as !
some in the City. He said he was not aware that this had been brought up before and
thought that this consideration should be taken care of for a revision in the ordinance
of the City as soon as possible.
Mr. Richard Harris, Planning Commission Chairman, indicated that this consideration had t
not been lost, it was within a large zoning code change consideration that the Planning
Commission had currently been working on. Councilman Fitzpatrick said this got into t
a large revision of the zoning ordinance. Mayor Nee questioned if it would be possible
for the City staff or the Council. to solve the problem.
Mr. Richard Kok, 6517 McKinley Street N. E. , addressed the Council and said it was
his child that had been hit by a car recently in this area and this is something he did f
not want anyone else to experience. He said he wanted the ordinance changed to cover this
type of regulation. He said all of the people in the area feel that this is a problem s
and they v-nuld like some help in solving this hazard. He added, the people of the area
had talker to the owner of t;ie fence and they had not reached an agreement for a solution
to the problem.
i
Mayor Nee asked if Mr. Kok would be willing to pay for the change in the fencing. Mr. Kok .f
said he would be willing and he had told the people who own the fence this.
The City Manager said the amendment of the ordinance in this case would not help the situation
because if the ordinance or code is changed at this time, the fence would still be allowable
before the law was passed. He commented that the
because it would have been in existance
use would be grandfathered in.
Mrs. Kok said she had tried to negotiate some solution but the property owner said they would
wait. for some recommendation from the Council. She said the property owners feel that
this is a hazard.
Mayor Nee said he had talked to the property owner and they had indicated that the fence
is not against the law. Councilman Fitzpatrick said he had also talked to the property
owner and he indicated that he would hrave to say the usage is not against the law.
Mayor Nee said he would support a change in the ordinance, but this would not help in
this instance.. He said this would have to be negotiated. He questioned what would
constitute a safety hazard. The City Attoney said the judge would determine this in
court after hearing the testimony of those involved.
Mayor Nee pointed out that the property owner had asked the City before the installation :
ful and now, the man has made an investment on
of the fencing and they said it was law
this premis. He said all of the Council would say that this ordinance_ needs to be
changed, but he could not see where in this instance they were in a position to proceed
with any action. He said he thought the citizens of the area could file a complaint,
this is provided for in the fence ordinance.
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to direct the Administration to work with those involved for
a satisfactory solution and/or compromise. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick.
Councilman Starwalt suggested that the Administration be given a two week dead line.
Mr. Kok said the people were looking for approval in their theory that this is a hazard.
He said if this would be possible, he would appreciate it.
Councilman Starwalt indicated that the current position is as strong as the Council could
get at the present time.
Mr. Kok informed the Council of the schedule of the property owner for the next two weeks F
and advised the Administration to make rapid contact with him.

McKinley Street. Seconded by Councilman Fitzpatrick. Upon voice vote, all voting aye,
