Making a Determination on the Objection Received From Patricia Rein Regarding 1559 N
Oberlin Circle NE With Respect to the Innsbrook North Housing Improvement Area
Whereas, the Fridley City Council (Council) is considering adopting an ordinance establishing the
Innsbrook North Housing Improvement Area (HIA) pursuant to Minnesota Statutes (M.S.) § 428A.13,
subd. 1; and
Whereas, a duly noticed public hearing on the HIA was held by the Council on April 24, 2023; and
Whereas, pursuant to M.S. § 428A.13, subd. 4, before the HIA ordinance is adopted or at the hearing
at which it is to be adopted, the owner of a housing unit in the proposed HIA may file a written
objection with the City Clerk asserting that the owner’s property should not be included in the area
or should not be subjected to a fee and objecting to the inclusion of the housing unit in the area, for
the reason that the property would not benefit from the improvements; and
Whereas, on April 22, 2023, the City Clerk received a written objection from Patricia Rein, the owner
of the property located at 1559 N Oberlin Circle NE, which is within the HIA; and
Whereas, Patricia Rein also spoke at the public hearing on April 24, 2023; and
Whereas, M.S. § 428A.13, subd. 4 requires the Council to make a determination of such an objection
within 60 days of its filing.
Now, therefore it be resolved, by the City Council of the City of Fridley, that as required by M.S.
§ 428A.13, subd. 4, the Council makes the following determination of Patricia Rein’s objection:
1. Patricia Rein’s property will benefit from the improvements that will be completed as a result
of the HIA.
2. In particular, Patricia Rein’s property will receive the following benefits:
(a) A new street with new curbs and gutters.
(b) A new driveway with a concrete apron in front of the property’s garage.
(c) Cured-in-place lining for the sanitary sewer that serves the property.
(d) The asphalt trail through the green area to the south of the property will be replaced with
a concrete sidewalk which will have concrete steps. This will allow much better access to the
green area.
