OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
September 14, 1973
MEMO TO: Honorable Mayor & City Council
MEMO FROM: Nasim M. Qureshi
SUBJECT: Status Report on the Request by Mr. John Doyle to use
6305 East River Road as a Real Estate Office
In the early part of 1972 Mr. Doyle requested this property be rezoned to
CR-1 to allow it to be used as an office building. Denial was recommended by
the Planning Commission on May 3, 1972 and the Council concurred on June 19, 1972.
There was a large petition against this request at that time as the City Council
is fully aware.
On August 20, 1973 the Council received a letter from Mr. Doyle requesting
a procedure by which he would be allowed to conduct his real estate business at
this location. He also requested that he be allowed to operate the real estate
business during the time it takes the City to process his request.
This item was then referred to the Planning Commission and discussed at their
meeting of August 22, 1973. They continued it to their meeting of September 12, 1973.
The City did write a letter to Mr. Doyle requesting that someone representing his
interests be present at the Planning Commission meeting of September 12, 1973. His
attorney was supposed to supply some legal precedent established previously to help
the City to come up with an alternative method of processing this request. He did
have one telephone conversation with Mr. Virgil Herrick, but was unable to attend
the meeting of September 12, 1973 with the Planning Commission due to a previous
commitment.
This item has been tabled again by the Planning Commission to the meeting of
October 3, 1973 at the request of the petitioner. We have received calls from the
neighbors in the area asking whether Mr. Doyle has permission to conduct his business
now. At the present time he works in the building with a part time gentleman and a
lady answering the phone. He does have a small sign on the top of which it says
"Home Office".
As it is evident, resolution of this item will take a considerable amount of
time. The Council did refer the request to the Planning Commission, but did not
give a direction to the Administration whether they are giving permission to the
petitioner to conduct his real estate business at this address while the request is
being processed thru the City.
I would like a clear direction from the Council whether they want the City to
let the gentleman operate until a decision is reached or tell him that he should
cease operations until approved by the City.

I have been instructed by the Fridley City Council to notify
, you that you will be considered in compliance with the home occu-
pancy section of the City Code in an R-1 zoning district in using
your house at 6305 East River Road in -ail incidental and secondary
use to the primary use in this residential district for the pur-
pose of conducting a real estate business at this location.
This compliance with the Fridley City Code is based on your

and work for your company conducting business
at this premises.
2. That the parking area be provided with:
a) Sufficient parking space for five cars.
b) Gravel base be provided for the parking

the parking area.

in a neat and orderly manner to enhance the

4. All fences belonging to the property be main-

RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMIS ION MEETING OF SEPTEMBER 26, 1973:
The City Engineer advised the Council there w re no items in the minutes which
would need Council action.
MOTION by Councilman Utter- to receive the Minut s of the Planning Commission

vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the m tion carried unanimously: j
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION FIEETING OF OCTOBER 3, 1973_:_
JOHN DOYLE REQUEST FOR A REAL ESTATE OFFICE: 6305 EAST RIVER ROAD:
Ma aloud the motion of recommendation from the Planning Commission
minutes.
Mayor Liebl referred to a recent matter in Crystal for a similar special use and
said he had gone there and checked out the action on the matter. He said
he thought the special use permit may be the correct method of allowing the
use when the ordinance does not specifically state standards of use. He read
'aloud the statement by Mr. Doyle's Attorney from the minutes of the meeting.
This case concerned Ayllka vs. the City of Crystal , and the Section 45.191 of the t
City of Fridley Code, this view of establishing the discretion of the governing
body as authority confirms this view.
Mayor Liebl said Mr. Doyle had been in contact withe the people of the area
to obtain their input to the situation, he had tried to handle the matter
properly. Councilman Utter said the applicant is doing something improper,
he is operating a business establishment in an R-1 area with no special use
permit and he does not live in the home.
Councilman Nee agreed that the proposal would effect everyone in R-1, R-2,
and R-3 districts in the City, if the zoning ordinance in the City were
changed. He said it would be possible to establish a business anywhere
in the City of Fridley with a special use permit, but he felt there would
be no problem with looking at what the City Attorney may recommend. He said
he could see many problems if this were allowed. He suggested looking at the
ordinance and making some judgement at that time.
Councilman Utter said he couli see a lawyers office in the midst of Innsbruck
North and an insurance agency in the River area. Councilman Nee said the
ordinance would have to be defined specifically.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF OCTOBER 15, 1973 PAGE 10
The City Attorney said he thought this was using poor principles by making
an example of only real estate and attorney's offices, anybody who had a
profession could make application for such a permit. He pointed out to the
Council when this would happen, the burden would be on the City. He stated 1
the Zyllka case in Crystal would be a clear example of this type of burden, and it
was determined the City did not make specific findings that this would be detrimental
to the neighborhood. He referred to another example of a case in Bloomington
where it was determined there were not specific facts to support the findings.
The City Attorney did not belived it would be a good step to adopt a general
policy. He recalled to the Council 's attention the current case of the
City of Fridley on a special use permit, the Metro 500 case. He mentioned
another case, the Five Sand Apartments and said this had been settled by the
land owner, or he felt the City would have lost this case. He said he was
not aware of the proper solution for Mr. Doyle, and he would work on such
an amendment to the ordinance, but he would not recommend it.
Councilman Starwalt questioned Mr. Doyle about the possibility of having one
of his employees live in the house. Mr. Doyle said the home is not big
enough as it is a very modest home. Mayor Liebl questioned if the people
would want to live in Fridley. Mr. Doyle said he could not ask people with
large families to live in a small house. He stated he could not get his family
and business into the facility, and everyone else that works for him has a
family.
Mr. Carson, Attorney for Mr. Doyle, addressed the Council and requested
some time to research the possibility of having one of the employees occupy
the home, and in the meantime, would they have the Council 's permission to
operate as they are. Mayor Liebl asked if this would be possible. The
City Attorney said it would not be legal , anyone might sign a complaint
against this use. Councilman Utter said he did not know why the applicant
has to be allowed 30 days when he has been avoiding the question for six months
already.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to table the consideration for the request by Mr.
John Doyle until the next meeting, October 29, 1973,• for the purpose of
allowing the applicant time to deterriine if it would be feasible for one
of his employees occupying the home. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Utter to receive the minutes of the Planning Commission
Meeting of October 3, 1973. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
