PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 20 , 1973 PAGE 12
Seconded by Mr. Harris . Upon a voice vote , Harris , Lindblad , Blair,
and Fitzpatrick voting aye , Drigans voting nay, the motion carried.
Mr. Clark reminded that this wo
uldo
g to Council on July 2 ,' 1973.
PUBLIC HEARING : CONSIDERATION OF A REZONING REQUEST, ZOA #73-07 ,
COLUMBIA METAL FABRICATION INC . : Rezone Lots 1 , Audi
division #39 exce t the Westerly Half, from R-1 Sin le famil
welling areas to M- 2 heavy industrial areasj—, to relocate :
MOTION by Mr . Blair to waive the reading of the public hearing
notice. Seconded by Mr. Lindblad. Upon a voice vote , all voting
aye, the motion carried unanimously.
The petitioner explained that the reason for the rezoning request
was that they needed more room to expand. He said the rest of the
property of theirs belongs to the railroad and on the south side
it is zoned industrial . The lots facing Main Street are zoned
R-3,, He said their work is not heavy industrial and they have had
no complaints for the past 7 years . Mr. Drigans asked the peti-
tioner how far away this new location from the present location was .
The petitioner said about 6 or 7 blocks . He said there was an old
vacant house on the new property, a garage that should be condemned,
and a chicken coop , etc.
Mr. Drigans asked if this type of operation would include any out-
door storage? The petitioner said it would.
Mr . Harris asked about utilities and drainage?
Mr. Clark said the water and sewer would come from Columbia Heights .
The drainage would be out to the street or back to the railroad
berm where it is going now.
Mr. Fitzpatrick asked where the berm was , the east or west end?
The petitioner said at the west end. But . from the bottom of the
berm over the hill top is approximately 150 feet.
Mr . Clark said that this parcel is not presently M-2 and is less
than the 1 1/2 acre _minimum requirement . He said with this plan,
it meets all of the s,.1-.back requirements except the frontyard
requirement. He saic_ t shows 35 and the zoning ordinance calls
for 100 -feet when loc d across from any residential zoning .
The petitioner said i ..'to have one industry located on 44th, he
said they are 30 foot setbacks . He said they need 59 feet for
trucks coming in and loading . Mr . Clark said it might be better to
have the loading and storage areas in the. rear yard.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 20 , 1973
PAGE 13
Mr. Drigans asked if there weren't any other sites? The petitioner
said there are some. One on 37th and East River Road and one on 32nd
and California, but they don' t want to move that far from Columbia
Heights .
Mr. Drigans asked if this type of business had any noise level?
The petitioner said it must meet federal and state code . He said
they get more noise with the motor bikes and dunebuggies than they
would with his company. He reminded the Commission that they have
not received a complaint in 7 years .
Mr . Fitzpatrick opened the public hearing.
Mr. Henry Zimmer , 4021 California said he took up a petition to
stop the Metal Fabrication Inc . from building a welding shop for
building truck bodies and a yard to store the bodies in. He felt
that this building will interfere with their peace and quiet and
beauty of the neighborhood.
MOTION by Mr. Drigans to receive the petition. Seconded by Mr .
Harris for discussion. Mr . Harris said there were 35 names on the
petition and he wanted to know if they were all Fridley residents .
Mr. Zimmer said some were from Columbia Heights . Upon a voice vote ,
all voting aye , the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Zimmer said he did not think there was enough room to put that
building in there . He said he did not think it would look very
nice to have a lot of truck bodies out in the yard.
Mr . Floyd Ryman 4004 2nd Street , said that they are supposed to
build a park in that area for the kids and he felt the industry
would stink up the eestreethand. ifHkidssaid

it could

be hazardous .
'i Mr . Anthony Picus , 4036 Main Street , said that this is going to
` drive down their property values . He said that the barn on their
e did not
now, should be condemneahanHfivelsingleadwellingplonn39thas fr as comaits , hwhere the
think there were more
a
business is now.
Mr. Dennis Bertrand, 4042 Main Street , referred to the City' s
Zoning Ordinance on page one under the very first part of the purpose .
He said building this would constitute spot rezoning . He felt that
the noise would be quite high. Further expansion or a change in
the owner could result in further deterioration of the property,
from the residential standpoint .
Darleen Austin, 10 41st Ave . said she would not want the property
value of her home to drop .
R
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JUNE 20, 1973 PAGE 14
Mr. Drigans asked the petitioner if they will be doing any work
outside of the building. The petitioner said they do not plan to .
He said they haven' t worked on Sunday since January.
r
Mr. Zimmer. said he thought the people have suffered enough already
with the railroad.
MOTION by Mr. Blair to close the public hearing . Seconded by Mr .
Lindblad. Upon a voice vote , all voting aye , the motion carried
unanimously.
Mr. Drigans asked Mr. Clark if this property was vacant right now?
Mr. Clark said it is not being lived in. Mr. Drigans asked if
this could be any type of a hazard. Mr . Clark said he was not sure
since he had not seen it himself . Mr. Lindblad asked if it was a
livable structure? Mr. Clark said it had not been inspected.
Mr. Harris asked if there had been any response from Columbia Heights
as they were contemplating a park there . Mr. Clark said there had
been no response from them although we sent them a notice . He
said he could contact them again. He said they should have received
their notice two weeks ago .
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he wanted to bring up the point that Mr.
Clark brought up that any action by the Council to rezone this for
any particular purpose also gives the variances , so the commission
has a lot to look at aside from the rezoning .
Mr . Drigans asked Mr . Clark if he recalled on the Comprehensive
Plan how much percentage is of unused land in Fridley. Mr. Clark
said he could not quote a figure , however , there is a substantial
amount vacant .
Mr. Drigans said that this constitutes spot rezoning when an R-1
district is concerned.
MOTION by Mr . Drigans to deny the rezoning request #73-07 . Seconded
by Mr . Harris for the following reasons :
1 . Spot rezoning . +
2 . Depreciate the property value of R-1 areas , no buffer zoning .
3 . Doesn' t meet the minimum lot size area.
4 . Plenty of M-2 zoning already in Fridley that is available .
5 . Sizable objection from property owners .
