ORDER OF AGENDA:
It was decided to hear the public hearings at the particular ti.me they
were advertised.
.Item 1(L.S. ��68-05, Walter Maciaszek) was to be put on the April llth
Agenda because the petitioner was not ready this evening. The rest of the
items would be considered in the order in which they appear on the Agenda.
1. PUBLIC HEAR.ING: PROPOSED PRELINfLNARY PLAT P.S. �68-01 AL ROSE ADDITION,
ALBERT M. JOHNS�N: Lot 36, Revised Auditor's Subdivision ��23.
The Public Hearing Notice was read by Chairman Hughes. He explained
the custom pf the Planning CoIInnission is for the petitioner to speak first,
then the Commission members discuss the petition and following that, the
meeting is open for discussion to members of the public.
Mr. Jensen explained that the Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities
Subcommittee examined the aerial photos of the area and it appeared there
was a diffe�:ence in the North/South dimensions. By scaling the aerial photo,
it appeared to be 220 feet while the preliminary plat showed 240 feet. With
,� a lot depth of 95 feet, this would be below the requirements of the ordinance
by five feet.
r'"�
Mr. Ha�ry Crowder, 146 63rd Way; You are going to put in 12 lots, in-
cluding No. 8 which has a house on now? The zoning is for single family.
The new plat was circulated among the audience.
Richard Dittes, 6291 Riverview Terrace: Most of the people are here
because they were concerned whether the zoning might be changed from R-1
and since this is of concern no longer, then the people are in favor of the
plat. Is there something in this layout that has serious implications?
He was informed the question was the possibility that some of the lots
would be toa small in dimensions to meet all ordinance requirements. It
now appears that Mr. Johnson has coxrected this.
Me. Dittes continued that if the Commission had no objections, he would
like to see the request approved. ,
MOTION by Erickson, seconded by Myhra, that the Planning Commission close
the public hearing of the preli.minary plat, P.S. ��68-01, A1 Rose Addition
by Albert M. Johnson of Lot 36, Revised Auditor`s Subdivision �23. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

MOTION'by Erickson, seconded by Myhra, that the Planning Commission
approve the preliminary plat, P.S. ��68-01, A1 Rose Addition, by Albert M.
�"�, Johnson of �ot 36, Revised Auditor's Subdivision ��23. Upon a voice vote,
all voting �ye, the motion carried unanimously. �
Mr. Je�sen said mention should be made of the lot depth being waived
due to the �rea on both sides having been platted.
It was noted that the buildings located on Block 2 will be taken down.
The audience was told that consideration of this item would be by the
Council on Monday, March 18th, and a public hearing date for the final plat
may be set �or the second Monday in April which is the 8th.
2. PUBLIC HEAItIlVG: REZOIVING REQUEST, ZOA �68-02, ROBERT WILSON: Lot 4, Block 1,
Wilson Addition. Rezone from R-1 to R-3A.
The Public Hearing Notice was read by Chairman Hughes. A communication
from Mrs. M�.ble F. Gadbois was received which referred to this Item.
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson were present. Mr. Wilson said being it is all
industrial property to the rear of this area, the lot to the north has a tri-
plex on it, he thought it would really dress up the neighborhood to have
this type structure in there. He said Mrs. Gadbois' property is an old farm
and there is some 40 lots that axe vacant.
� Mr. Erickson said according to the zoning map, the area north, Gailsview
� Addition, had not been recorded as of January 1, 1968. Mr. Wilson was asked
if he were the owner of Zoe 1 when the rezoning originally took place, but
he said the former owner rezoned the lot in 1960.
Z`he Chairman asked the Engineering Assistant if he had discussed this
request with the City of Columbia Heights. Darrel Clark replied that he
had talked to Mr. Brown, City Engineer, and he informed him that the zoning
across the.street was R-2. He would inform the City Manager of Columbia
Heights of the hearing and if he felt they would comment, that they would
send a letter. They were also told this would go before the Council before
anything would be f inal.
Mr. Myhra wondered if the size of the land was insufficient for a four-
plex and was informed that was true. A triplex was the largest apartment
Mr. Wilson could build.
Mr. Erickson then addressed Mr. Wilson and asked him that knowing the
fact he could nat build a four unit apartment on this building site, if iC
was his wish to continue this request? Mx. Wilson said they built two apart-
ments in Columbia Heights, the same type of building, on 80 foot lots. Mr.
Erickson said that there was a change made for multiple units in our ordinance,
but presently under our ordinance, you cannot build more than three units.
Mr. Wilson said that the building burned was a two family dwelling and
was that way when he bought it, He thought the house was 75 years old, maybe
^ older.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 14,_1968 Page 4
Mr. Erickson said he did not find the request particularly out of line
with the adjoining property. The Gadbois property is rather large and that
� will be divided some day; Columbia Heights is already zoned multiple.
MOTION by Erickson, seconded by Jensen, that the public hearing be closed
and that the�Planning Commission recommend that the rezoning r.equest, ZOA ��68-02,
Robert Wilso�, of Lot 4, Block 1, Wilson Addition be rezoned from R-1 (single
family distr�ct) to R-3A (apartment and multiple dwelling district) but attach
a recommenda�ion to the City Council that no waiver be given for any more than
three unit apartment. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
Chaixman Hughes explained that this item would appear on the Council Agenda
of March 18, 1967 for the purpose of setting a public hearing.
3. PUBLIC HE.ARING: REZOIVING REQUEST, ZOA �68-04, LOUIS MOMCHILOVTCH: The South
150 feet front and rear of Lot 9, Auditor's Subdivision �88. Rezone from
R-1 to multiple dwelling.
Chairman Hughes read the Public Hearing Notice.
Mr. Momchilovich addressed the Commission saying he had ealked to the
people to the North and they preferred the commercial, but would go along
with the apartment or multiple dwelling. The people to the East (3) had no
objections e�ther. To the South there are apartments and they had no objections.
He said he planned to build an 8 unit apartment house.
�`i Mr. Erickson recalled that the last time this was discussed, there was
some talk about an easement through the property. Is this property directly
to the North? Mr. Momchilovich answered it would be directly West of his
. progerty and East of the Highway, and that it was a recorded easement.
Russell Burris, 1150 Mississippi Street: He was in favor of leaving the
zoning.the way it is now, especially when thousands of dollars were spent to
zone it R-1. The lot he spoke of would be suitable for double bungalow.
Stephen Kachina, 6476 Dellwood: I have lived on the street for eleven
years, have gone through changes and would like to see it stay R-1. We have
all got roots there and don't feel we should have apartments right now. We
have gone through rezonings several times. The people in back of the property
could not be here. This is about the second time we have been up here.
Mrs. Loretta Lane, 1132 Mississippi Street: We would like to keep the
area residen�ial, but in the event that property is zoned differently, and the
lot South be rezoned, we do not want to be in the middle. We have been approache
by mortuaries and doctors. We feel our property could be rezoned, but if not,
we would like residential. Our lot is on the corner of Mississippi Street and
Highway' ��65 0
Mr. Momchilovich thought the area should have been all commercial in the
first place as it is right along the foux lane highway.
%� Mr. Burris said that thousands of dollars have been spent to have the area
zoned proper].y and when they finished this complete suxvey of the City, they
zoned this axea R-1. Mr. Momchilovich said the reason was that the homes were
there in the,,first place.
Planning Com:nission Meeting - March 14, 1968 Page 5
The statement was made that the highway went through in 1951 and 1952 and
it was zoned after the highway was put throu�h there.
� Mrs. Gladys Anderson, 6428 Dellwood: We live there and don't�object to
the rezoning.
Mr. Raymond Anderson, 6428 Dellwood: If Highway ��65 is commercial, why
shouldn't it go commercial, too.
The an�wer to the question whether the taxes would go up if it were
rezoned, was "no".
MOTION by Myhra, seconded by Jensen, that the Planning Commission close
the public hearing of Z0A ��68-04, Louis Momchilovich, of the south 150 feet,
front and rear, of Lot 9, Auditor's Subdivision ��88 to be rezoned from R-1
to multiple dwelling. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
7'he Engineering Assistant suggested the County records be checked for
the easement. If there is none, the Commission should ask for a utility
easement along Highway ��65.
Mrs. Lane said that when their property was sold to them, the people
that owned the South lot and had no way to get out of their property, the
easement was for them to go out.
Mr. Jensen said they were talking about the easement to the South.
�� Mr. Myhra said it seemed to him he did not find himself ready to act
on the request and that the Commission really needs more information on this.
, It might be well to lay this over and continue action until another time.
Mr. Momchilovich was asked if he had any objections to deeding 30 feet
along the West line to the City for the purpose of utilities and street ease-
ment,-and he answered he thought, according to the survey, to the West is
really Kandel's drive. He was asked if it lined up with the service road to
the South and he answered "yes".
MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Myhra, that the Planning Commission continue
the rezonin.g request, ZOA ��68-04, and request that Darrel Clark attempt to
obtain clarification of the matCer of the sexvice road and utility easement
for consideration at the regular meeting of March 28, 1968. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. .
4. PUBLIC HEARIlVG: REZONING UEST: ZOA �kG8-03, ARO INDUSTRIES, INC.: Lots 1,�
2 and 3A, Second Revision Auditor's Subdivision ��21 and Lot 1, Brookview
Addition. Rezone from R-1 to R-3A.
Chairman Hughes read the Public Hearing Notice.
Mr. Jake Aro, president of Aro Industries, Inc., explained their request
by saying they propose to build a beautiful apartment there, and had pre-
� sented preliminary plans. They were not too happy with the outline because
one of the buildings was put below the hill near the Creek. They understand
there is some concern relative to flooding. Z'hey would build one apartment
Plannin� Commission Meeting - March 14, 1968 Page 6
. on the hill and the recreatiional area on Creek bottom. They appreciate it
takes a good architect to take advantage of the terrain and figured there
� . was plenty of high land, and with a little filling and levelling, tennis
courts could be put up and on the hill would be an apartment. It takes a
lot of money to get a good architect and if it is acceptable, if it is re-
zoned to R-�A, then they could proceed on that basis and have proper drawings.

Mr. Er�ckson said he had only one comment and that was he did not feel
he could take part in the discussion or action on this item because at one
time he did have an interest in this land.
Gordon Swenson, 6889 Channel Road; I am definitely opposed to any apart-
ments and have a petition drawn up opposing the request.
MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Myhra, that the Planning Commission receive
the petition opposing the rezoning request, ZOA ��68-03, Aro Indus�xies, Inc.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
LeRoy Sushey, 6899 Channel Road: I have lived on this property for a
long time. 'Rezoning is rezoning and I am sure once it is xezoned, it is proper
to use the area for what it is rezoned. I have lived in Fridley for fifteen
years and one of the pristine acts was zoning this village to protect our
areas and that certain areas would be zoned for apartments, residential and
industrial. Our area would be protected against these types of developers
and we would preserve the nature of our neighborhood. This is the third time
I have come before the Commission. There are other development companies �
that would like to move in apartments. We have a very nice neighborhood, and
^ rezoning should only be done in the light that it would benefit the people
who lived in this area for a long time. If rezoned this whole area would be
limited to apartments and I think it would be a real shame.
Mrs. Edythe Collins, 6854 Channel Road: This petition has been signed
by all the people who live within 500 feet except one. Other signatures
are the xes� of the neighborhood. We own a pretCy place and we would like
to keep it that way.
Mr. Myhra asked Mrs. Collins if she would object to a single family
residence being build down in the Creek Bottom and she said "no".
James Collins, 6854 Channel Road: It would be ideal if the City were
to buy this for a park, but if this can't be done, we would accept residential
homes. We like the houses along Rice Creek Terrace and their back yards face
the Creek and are bea�tiful. '
As a matter of interest, it was noted the zoning around the area�was as
follows: directly across the street is R-1, the south is light industrial
and the southwest residential and to the north is industrial.
Chairman Hughes, speaking to Mr. Aro, said that since his intention is �
apparently not to utilize the entire area for apartment purposes, what is the
xeason fox requesting the rezoning of the entire tract? Mr. Aro replied
that the whole area can be beautified, which it is not now, becau�se of the
damage fxom the storm. People have got to have some place for recreation
�� and they felt below the hi11 would be the right place, They have plans to
build a first class apartment house that would be a credit to the neighborhood�

and be a m�}ch better tax base and buffer zone to the heavy industrial to the
north and �ortheast and industrial to the south.
Mrs. Dorothy Bushay, 6899 Channel Road: We need xecreational area for
our childre�n, too. We have a lot of wild life that we would like to protect.
Lyle �'uam, 6895 Channel Road: We do have several apartments in this
area already. It is enough.
Mr. Gordon Swenson: The City should think a little about this, too.
Many times it has been discussed and talked about, taking the land or buying
it and using it for a park. If they get this rezoning and their plans go
through, it would be pretty hard for the City to take it away from them.
Chairman Hughes commented that it is always a difficult matter for the
City to take anyone's land away from thein:
MOTION by Myhra, seconded by Jensen, that the Planning Commission close
the Public �iearing, ZOA ��68-03, Aro Industries, Inc. of Lots 1, 2 and 3A,
Second Revision of Auditor's Subdivision No. 21 and Lot 1, Brookview Addition.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Jensen said that he would like to ma.ke a broad statement of a couple
of things he felt very strongly about. He is an active member of an organiza-
tion, Rice Creek Association. One of the purposes of this organization is to.
protect this Creek and try �o maintain it in its natural s�tate as much as
possible, and this relative to the condition of water as far as pollution is
� concerned and also the effectiveness of the Creek as a water carxying vehicle,
particularly with hopes of maintaining the natural thing. One of the things
that he was going to try and preserve is this Creek bottom land and any pro-
posal that �.s made to fill in the area of this bottom land is going to be
objectionable to him personally and should not be allowed. The Cxeek is a
drainage way for nearly 200 square miles and most of it is upstream from this
location. We have quite a stake in this Creek within this coumiunity. If
we are going to maintaiu this as an active stream, we must be on guard to
eliminate any encroachment of the water carrying capacities. This limits
' its use for drainage purposes considerably and in the future, if we allow
encroachment on this valley, there will no longer be storage of water in
times of high water and axtreme run off, and we are going to cause flooding
both up str�am and down stream. He felt Mr. Aro had not said anything to
lead him to believe this sort of thing would be honored.
A memb�r of Aro Industries said he did not think anyone should disturb
or fill the area, and to them, it would destroy its value. Mr.. Aro said he
wondered if the Council and the people would be more open if the whole section
were eliminated from the request. It would mean a sma.11er apartment house
but still 1¢ave it on the high ground without using the lower area.
Chairman Hughes thought it might be advantageous both to the Co�ission
and the petitioner to continue this�matter and give the Planning Commission
an opportunity to consider specifically whether the land was suitable for
the kind of thing discussed here.
�,
� MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Myhra, that the Planning Commission table
the zoning at hand, ZOA ��68-03, by Aro Industries, Inc. to the meet3ng of
April 11, 1968 to reconsider the question of rezoning. Upon a voice vote,
all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Planning Comunission Meeting - March 14, 1968 Page 8
The Commission took a short recess at 9:00 P.M.
��• 5. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: L.S. ��68-07, RUTH GEDIG: Lot 17, Block G, Riverview
Heights.
��
Chai�cnan Hughes noted that the petitioner was not present, and the
ma.terial xequested by the Subcommittee was not ready at this time. Item
�k5 was to be continued until April 11, 1968 meeting.
6. REZOIVING IN UIRY: ANDREW HOHN: 4-0 Acre Tract - SW'� of SW� of Section 2.
Rezone fxom M-2 to R-4.
Mr. Hohn was not present, but the owner of the land, Albert M. Johnson,
wished to check on the possibility of rezoning. The land then would be
used for a Mobile Park.
The Commission did not feel they could give an answer on the basis of
a si.mple question, and felt a formal request should be submitted and a
hearing date set. ,
Mr. Johnson said there is no i.ncome as far as the City is concerned
the way the land is now. There was not much chance to put heavy industrial
because the water table is high but a Mobile Park could be put there. It
is the property that has the big ditch which has caused trouble.
No action.
7. LOT SPLIT REQUEST: ' L.S. ��68-04, LA12ItY DEAN FERGUSON: Lot 21, Block 2,
Spring Zal�e Park Lakeside.
Chairman Hughes noted the Subcommittee approved the lot split contin-
gent upon a certificate of survey and a street easement over the South 25
fee� of the South lot.
Mr. Ferguson presented a certificate plan of the proposed split. The
Engineering Assistant noted that the easement for utility drainage across
the new lot line had not been gxanted and the legal description was omitted
from the drawing. Mx. Ferguson agreed to have these omissions corrected,
and was informed that he would not have to be pxesent when this item is
considered again.
The Lot Split request, L.S. �k68-04, Larry Dean Ferguson, was continued
until the next meeting.
8. SHADY O.AK ADDITION, P.S. ��66-03, ANDREW P. GAWEL: Lot 2, Auditor's Subdivi-
s iori ��92 .
Mr. Gawel was present.
Chairman Hughes explained that this item was continued from the Plan-
� ning Connnission meeting of February 29th and was continued from the City
_ Council and referred to the Commission. The Council's desire was whether
the Planni;ng Co�nission felt the plat as presented is compatible with the
Street Padtern to the area North (Rice Creek Road area) and were not
Plannin� Commission Meeting - March 14, 1968 Pa�e 9
particularly interested in the drainage problems at this ti.me. The pattern,
as it is proposed in Mr. Gawel's plat, Shady Oak Addition, was compatible
with the Street pattern that the Planning Couunission recommended. The
^• Engineering Assistant stated he spoke with the City Engineer and he stated
Council was interested in the platting and not the drainage. This is for
the final plat.
�
MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Erickson, that the Planning Commission
reco�end �.pproval of the final plat, Shady Oak Addition, P.S. ��66-03, Lot 2,
Auditor's �ubdivision ��92, to the Council with the information that the plat
is in confprmation with the Street Plan previously recommended to Council
for the arc�a to the North (Rice Creek Road/Central Avenue Plan). Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
9. REZOIVING REQUEST: ZOA �k68-06, HIRSCH BROS. PROPERTIES; Part of Block 22
and all of Block 23, Fridley Park Addition and part of Lots 7 and 9, Revised
Auditor's �ubdivision ��23.

this time.
MOTION by Jensen, seconded by Erickson, that the Planning Commission
set a public hearing date of April 11, 1968 at 8:00 P.M. for the rezoning
request, ZOA ��68-06, Hixsch Bros. Properties. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, the m4tion carried unanimously.
INTERSECTI�N PATTERN: MISSISSIPPI STREET AND F.AST RIVER ROAD;
The Engineering Assistant said that the City Attorney feels that when
this reaches Council level, i� this plan is reco�arnended, probably it should
be handled as a street vacation. This is why he suggested the resolution
you received this eyening.
Mr. Exickson said that the only comment he would have, aside from the
fact that the mattex has been discussed quite thoroughly for a number of
months, if this plan is recommended to be adopted, that the Council be
requested to limit access to Mississippi Street from any property to the
North a considerable distance from the intersection so that there is not
a pile up of tratfic. He had no specific figure because he did not know
what would be proposed for the area -- it may be 100 feet or 150 feet.
ChaixtMan Hughes said the question is how it should be worded in other
than general terms as far as the xecommendation since it is not clear at
this point the development to the North.
The Engineering Assistant said that the Benson Property has not been
discussed with reference to the additional 10 feet of right of way to complete
this plan.
� Chairman Hughes continued that his feeling was that the intersection
has been di.scussed sufficiently and he found himself agreeing that the pro-
posed intersection plan is the best solution and he, personally, was prepared
to move in that direction at this time.
Planning Commission Meeting - March 14, 7.968 Page 10
Mr. Myhra said this has been on the Planning Commission agenda a year
and they h�.ve looked at a lot of different plans, but he personally felfi in
�-, this mattex, safety protection has got to be the main consideration, and
� obviously, after additional land is developed, there will be an increase in
traffic. Mr. Myhra then read the Resolution xegarding the modification of
Mississippi Place.
MOTION by Myhra, seconded by Erickson, that the Planning Commission adopt
the following Resolution:
BE IT RESOLVED, by the Planning Commission of the Cii:y of Fridley, Anoka
County, Minnesota, as follows:
WHER�AS, the Planning Commission and Subco�nittees thereof has studied
the need for and the desirability of modifying and changing the intersection
of Mississippi Street and Mississippi Place aC their intersection with East
Rivar Road; and
WHERE�S, the Planning Commission has held hear3ngs and discussed the
present situation and various proposals for modification with many of the
neighboring pxoperty owners; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission finds that the present interseciion
presents txaffic hazards that prevent the effici.ent movement of traffic
and is a danger to life and property; and
WHEREAS, there is a considerable amount of undeveloped land adjacent to
n ox in the close vicinity of said intersection, which land is zoned for
commercial and multiple residential purposes and the owners Chereof desire
�o develop said property in the near future; and
WHEREAS, said addition.al development will compound the already
serious traffic problem; and
�WHER�.AS, if Mississippi Place, as it presently exists is to serve as
a thoroughfare for said commercial and multiple developmex�t, it will
necessitate routing heavy traffic through�xesidential areas.
NOW TT3EREFORE, be it resolved that the Planning Commission of the City
of Fridley xecommends to the Fridley City Council a modification and
partial vacation of Mississippi Place. Saicl. modification to be as diagrammed
on the attached sketch labeled "Proposed East River Road and Mississippi
Street Int�:rsection as drawn February 9, 1968 and Revised March 1, 1968".
Chairman Hughes added that the Resolution stated quite clearly the
primary concern is on the traffic prob�lem. There is a large amoun� of open
land adjacent to the intersection of Mississippi Street and East River Road
now and when it develops it will create a lot of traffic.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voti.ng aye, the MOTION carried unanimously.
