MEMO TO: John Flora, Public Works Director
MEMO FROM: Jerrold L. Boardman, City Planner
MEMO NO. : $30-78
MEMO DATE: July 31 , 1980
RE: Council Action on SP #80-08
The Planning Commission at their July 23, 1980 meeting modified the
Special Use Permit request by Carl E. Christenson, by reducing the special
use permit for operation of a body shop from Lot 21 24 to just Lot 21 ,
and recommended approval of an additional special use permit to allow
automobile parking on R-3 property for use on adjacent land.
I talked to Dave Neuman, City Attorney's office, to determine what
action the City Council would have to take since the Special Use Permit
requires a public hearing and the public hearing held before the Planning
Commission was for the operation of a body shop and did not include parking
on R-3 property.
Dave indicated that we should have the City Council set a public hearing
for the special use permit and notify the public according to our standard
procedures. This would take care of the legal requirement of public hearings
on additional special use permits. For this reason we need the City Council
to set the public hearing for September 15, 1980 which will coincide with
the public hearing on the applicant's rezoning request.

vehicles not over two-ton capacity, located on Lots 21; 22, 2 , and 24,
Block 6, Fridley Park, tine same being 6501. East River Road N.E.
MOTION by Ms . Hughes, seconded by Ms . Gabel, to open the public hearing on
SP #80•-08 by Carl E. Christensen. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Chairman Harris declared the public hearing open at 9:29 p.m.
Mr. Boardman stated this special use permit is for the auto body operation.
In order to allow the use of Lots 22, 23, and 24, which are zoned R-3, two
special use permits are going to be needed--one to allow Lot 21 to be used
as an auto body repair shop and one to allow parking on Lots 22, 23, and 24.,
.Mr. Harris asked if there were any stipulations with the use of the building
that the Commission should be concerned about such as a filtering system?
Ms . Hughes stated she did not think so with the size_ of this building. The .
only thing she would expect: is that if Mr. Christensen opens up a door to the
parking lot, there might be some need for them to require any future door on
the north side to be closed at all times . 3he=did not see any problem wit:i
leaving the Mississippi St . door open, because that does not now and is not
likely to impact the neighborhood in terins of noise.
Ma:. Boardman stated that since the first special use permit is restricted
only to Lot 21, it would require Mr_ . Christensen to do some landscaping on
Lot 21. Another thing that should be considered at: this time is bikeway/
walkway easements along Mississippi St. within the 20 ft. green area. This
would not restrict his area as far as parking area or the building.
MOTION by Ms . Hughes, seconded by Ms . Gabel, to close the public hearing oil
pant 1 of SP #80-08 by Carl E. Cliristensen'.
Mr. Nash stated,lie thought there should be a limit ori,Mr. Christensen's
business hours.
Mrs. Langer stated she has never heard any noise from Mr. Christensen's
t)uss.ness, t;)ut they do hear noise from the car- wash across the street, which
operates until late hours .

PLAP�NG COMMISSION Mi.ETING,_JUI..Y 23, 1980- PAGE 7
*1. Hughes stated she was somewhat reluctant to vote for rezoning in a block
to re everything•is residential, -and it seemed sensible to leave Lots 22, 23, •,
ar4 as an R-3 area, In looking at the properties on the four corners of
that ntcrsection, it was not out of character to leave that corner lot
cobrm?cr 'al in some form. It would seem to her very passible for this property
to becorr a lot more attractive for other uses than an auto-body, once rezoned.
..However, e did not see any good way out of the dilemma of putting it all into
one kindo oning. If she lived in that area, she would rather see it not
rezoned, but he did not get that feeling from most of the neighbors . There
are certainly ise impacts and visual impacts just by the character of Mississippi
. and East River ad at that point . East- River Road is a major highway at that
point and not par 'cularly conducive to residential uses . She thought there
wa some good rati ale for rezoning, but the impact ori that property is going
to come when the pro rty is sold for some other use.
Ms. Gabel stated she he d the neighbors saying it was no problem with an
auto body repair shop, b were concerned about rezoning and what could happen
doom the line. She was co erned about that, too. Also, it Was really a spot
rezoning, an expansion of a on-conforming use.
Mr'. Harris stated he has looke over the building quite extensively. . He stated
hecouldnot vote for rezoning t C-2 for the reason that rezoning to C-2
world probably solve the iirenediate roblem, but they have to look at the
ultimate impact on the surrounding ighborlhood. The rest of that block i
zoned R-3. As much as lie would like see Mr. Christensen have a thriving
business, lie could not vote for rezoni because it does not fit with the
character of the rest of the neighborhoo

ke a new building site, the same being 5775 2? St. N.E. (Lot 7
a essed as 5783 2' St. N.E.)
Mr. Barri_ tated this was not a public hearing, but they would conduct it
as an i.nfor 1 public hearing.
Mr. Boardman st -ed there is presently a duplex on Lots .7 and 8. Lot 6 is
a'' separate lot th is -a 40-ft. lot, What the petitioner would like to do is
add 14 ft, taken f Lot 7, and add that onto Lot 6 to make Lot 6 a. buildable
lot size. That makeof 6 a 58-ft. lot. He stated that a ccuplex-size lot
requirement is 10,000 ft. , and this lot split brings the lot size of the
duplex don to 9,600 sq, t. This is still over 9,000 sq. ft. which is allowed
for a single family, and a in.gle family is only allowed in this special zoning
district.
Ms. Gabel sfated. she was concer d about the size of the house that was going

M-. Melville stated D & E Construction was resenting Mary Ann I.opp. He
sated what they are attempting to do is put _ a 24` x 36` or a 24; x 40°
house, -.nd it would probably have to be put- end s on the lot. Otherwise,, .
the lot- would not have enough setback. Ms . Kopp going on a 235 mortgage
and under a 235 mortgage she cannot afford to buy a of over.$10,000. That
is why they are attempting to get- the lot, split and. p the cost down. One
of the reasons they are before the Planning Commission because they had
, ,,other lot for Ms,' Kopp, .but it was found unbuildable. s a result of that,
Ms, Kopp had already sold her house trailer and is now liv from place to
place with her two children. They are attempting; to move as -ast as they can
as she needs a place to live.
Mr. Melville stated D & E Construction works tirith•a company callec the
Stratford Company in Stratford, Wisconsin, which builds houses that re
considered module. The building is built out of state but will pass 1
Minnesota state regulations and FRA requirements,. etc. . .

base bid was higher than !allocations received from the grant.
Mr. Qureshi stated, sin e the time the bids were received, other areas were
reviewed in the buildi g to determine what could be removed or scaled down
in order to bring the ost reasonably within the funds that are available.
He stated several cha ,ge orders could be considered by the Council. One
change order would r duce the contract by $51,575 and removes such things
as inside cabinets, alwall roof, small partitions and most of the air
conditioning, howev r, it does retain the integrity of the structure as
proposed in the pl ns.
I
103
REGULAR MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1980 PAGE4 « i
Mr. Qureshi stated change order No. 2 would add Alternate 1 in the amount j
of $10,800 to provide additional storage space. He felt it would'be cost
effective to add the space at this time, since the cost is less than $24
a square foot, while the rest of the building is actually costing over $70
a square foot.
Another change could be for the use of Kalwall instead of conventional
roof system. He stated this would be more pleasing and give an openness
appearance, and would also have diffuse light and reduce Any artificial
light needed. He pointed out on the negative side there is the cost
factor and the insulation rate would be R-6 instead of R-12, which is
half the insulating value of a normal roof. He stated in winter it
would lose energy, and in summer would have the potential of creating
a high temperature inside. He also felt there might be a greater potential
for vandalism. Additional funds would have to be raised if some of these
alternates are going to be added to the project.
Ms. Barbara Hughes of the Parks and Recreation Commission stated the
Commission did review the plans and supports the recommendation of the
City Manager and staff. She stated the Commission was in agreement to
add Alternate 1 for the storage room which they felt was appropriate.
She statedthey will go out with members of the Springbrook Foundation
and try to raise money to help complete the, building.
Ms. Hughes stated she was pleased with th� building plans and what they
can get for the price..
Councilman Barnette stated it seems, over the last six years, he has
heard money was going to be raised.
f i
Ms. Hughes stated the Springbrook Foundation has been very instrumental
in getting the initial grant. She,pointed out the Commission is unanimous
in saying this is a Fridley park and building is the City's responsibility.
She stated she was happy with the interest in the community to provide
some of the things on a volunteer basis, however, the Commission is ready
to say they should be doing this out of City funds.
Mr. Siah St. Clair, Naturalis /Resource Coordinator, stated, he felt , even
with the change orders and d etions, the City would still have an excellent
building to maintain the /dequate
grams.
Councilman Barnette quested the item regarding site grading. Mr. Qureshi
stated he felt there was fill potential on the site and this was
added as an assurance to he contractor who was riot familiar with the si-,e.
Councilman Barnette a14 pointed out that the City would provide sewer and
water connections within five feet of the building and assumed this would
come from the sewer and water portion of the City's funds.
Councilman Barnette so questioned if the air conditioning would be elimi-
nated entirely. i
I
Siah St. Clair stato.d air conditioning would be omitted in the exhibit area
i and auditorium typi rooms. He felt they would have adequate ventiliation
in these areas because of the type of windows.
Councilman Barnette stated this is exactly the type of thing some people
thought would happen, that is, committing the City to a large sum of money.
f He stated ire didn't think it was the original intent of the whole idea.
I 1 �
i Ms. Hughes felt khe usage in North Park shows the community supports the
project. She s ated the project can be clone now with the money they have
and probably co idn't be done in the future for this cost. She stated
she felt they would not lose the grant money and use it wisely and that
it would be a ery fine facility when it is finished.
