APPROVE PLANNING COMMISSIQN MINUTES: FEERUARY 3, 1971
Mr: Zeglen called attention to an error on Page 8, the last sentence in
the third paragraph from the bottom of.the page which stated "The area is
approximately 35,000 square feet or 1% acres,----". T�ie sentence should read
"The area is approximately 35,000 square feet and is zoned M-2 (heavy industrial).
This category requires l� acres."
MOTION by Fi tzpatrick, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planning Commission
minutes of February 3, 1971 be approved subject to the above c:orr�ction. Upon a
voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
1. CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING: REZONING REQUEST, ZOA 4�71-OI, BY GJi'MAN SMITH FOR
VIKING CHEVROLET, INC.: Rezone from M-2 (heavy industrial) to C-2 (general
business areas) a parcel 600 feet in�depth along the centerline of proposed
83rd Avenue from R/W line of Universi�y Avenue and 1,675 feet North fror.i
centerline of proposed 83rd Avenue. Public Hearing closed at February I,
1971 meeting.
Representatives of the rezoning request present this eve:�ing were Wyr.ian 5mith,
Jerry Brady, Ray Wormsbecker and Kurt E. DeBorde.
� The Engineering Assi�tant reported that he iiad talked �rith Mr. John Kessler,
of the Y.M.C.A. who rep��rted that there were no objections tr� the rezonin��.
Chairman Erickson said he spoke c•��th Rev. McChesney, wfio �cted on the Committee
for the Y.M.C.A., and he said he had no opin�on nor objection.
A large. City map, havirrg the present zoning areas colored, o;as displayed
for reference.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he did not feel C-2 was highly compatible with park
property, but neither would he consider M-2 to be.
Mr. t�yman Smith wished to confirm th'e answer to the question raised at the
� previous meeting regarding the sanitary sewer and the assessments if thP sewer
line ran along 83rd Avenue because the park would have no use for the sewer.
He ha.d mPt �,�ith the ot.m ers of *he 1?0 acres to the South who were anxious to get

or not to farce the sanitary sewer to ceme in early.

--�-�« �� c � < < < . < <
Mr. Scfimedeke asked the opinion of tlie City in regard to this situation --
� storm sewer, storm water and fiow it would affect the City.
Darrel Clark answered that there is a creek that comes down across Ironton
and drains tiiis area, No design has been made for this area, but he assumed
tfie creek would be used £or an outfall for the storna sewer system. There is a
good chance t�at otfier communities,such as Spring Lake Park and Coon Rap�ds,
tnight be involved. A sanitary sewer could be put on 83rd Avenue, or near 83rd
Avenue going East to University Avenue and then North. Once t�e plans are com-
pleted, the City would ask for easements. There is a sewer line running parallel
to the railroad tracks (Ease side) from Osborne Road to the Nozth City Limits.
There would have to be a lateral connection ta serve 83rd Avenue. The method
of assessing will be the same -- for storm sewer whatever area is being drained
will be assessed and the sanitary sewer where it is served. He said the land
owners were anxious to get th.e land opened up with sewer, water and streets
and the City would work with the developer.
Mr. Schmedeke listed a few points regarding his thoughts of the rezoning
as follows: 1) Downgradi_ng of present zoning, from M-1 to C-2. 2) Storm
sewer and drainage problems not solved. 3) Drainage includes a large area
and all property owners should be informed of the petition for sewer and water
and asked if they wish to participate in the project. 4) City must be prepared
to serve g�uperties before the application is made. 5) Believed it was the
City's duty to suggest sites already served by sewer and water. 6) Tax base
is not a good one for the City, 7) Located in the area of one of our future
parks plus a recreational type of facility, proposed Y.M.C.A. 8) This is more
� or less one person's opinion of what should be done. The lots should be developed
in this area in a practical area study, preferably from the South going North,
and possibly define the type of building. He would not hesitate to invite the
Viking people into the City if they were in the proper location.
Mr. Fitzpatrick wondered if the reason was ever given why this was the
area these people wanted rather than the one South.
Mr. Smith answer that this was the property offered under option. Property,
he added, is a funny thing. You have an owner and buyer. One of �he factors
in the choice of this property was the distance from other Chevrolet businesses.
The site had to be approved by regional offices of General Motors and Detroit.
If they do not get thiG land, unless there would be another seller offering land
that would suit them, he thought they would go out of Fridley and go North. He
had talked to a number of people and they agreed that one of the things Fridley
lacked is a good automobile agency. He thought the plans for Viking were
attractive. The Viking people picked out this area; they could have been closer
to Bob Schroer, but they would be different owners. An advantage of th.is propertv
is the high rise in the center portion of the parcel which would cut down the
amount of excavation work to be done and allow them to proceed at once with con-
struction. 1'ney were going to apply to the City for some of the railroau dirt
to be used on the other two parceis they have. It seemed to him there wa� some
justification of the long strip. This does have a plateau that gets up pretty
high, and fiaving title to tl�e adjoining land, will �naintain the integrity of the
land and view along University Avenue. Tfie sale was completed �ah?n the Vikin�
,...� people contacted him, h1r. Smith said.
Mr. Minish, referring to the statement of rezaning from M-2 to C-2 as being
downgrade, said that he looked at it as just the reverse. The uses under M-1
and M-2 are less conducive. to R-1 properties.
Planning Commissioii Meetin� - Februarv 17, 1971 Page 3 �
Chairman Erickson asked Mr. Fitzpatrick if, in his opinion, there would be
^ a difference having the park next to C-2 property. Mr. Fitzpatrick felt t.here
was not a great deal of difference between some uses'in M-2 and commercial. There ,
are some uses in M-2 that he would find more compati.ble next to a park. The
Planning Commission is being asked to rezone to commercial, and if there are
commercial areas sti11 available in the City, we have ta have in our minds a
reason for a��;�roving it.
�
�
Darrel Clark stated that if this rezaning went through, it could happen that
the whole area between here and Bob�s Produce would all be commercial.
Chairman Erickson suggested the following criteria: Is this type of use
to the best advantage of the City or a: detriment? The depth of the property,
600 feet, certainly cannot be compared to spot zoning. The normal depth of a
lot is 150 to 200 feet. Is it desirable for the City to begin opening up this
area? Is it desirable, is it proper, or should the request be turned down and
hope for industrial property to be developed. He did not feel commercial was a
bad thing. If the area was opened in the North, it would continue developing.
If the City could not work out an agreeable arrangement with all concerned, the
facility would have to operate on its own to provide a sewer. He thought that if
an industrial complex wished to come in the area, the City would be.hard put to
turn it down. A use of this type, that �oes into that area, may give the City
more control through rezoning than in other allowed uses, such as a requirement
for dedication of service road. It is absolutely essential to the traffic of
this community that the City gets a service road. Otherwise the City should
go in and get, if necessar;l, by condemnation or agreement, the needed land.
Controlled access, Darrel Clark said, was on 81st, 83rd, 85th and 74th.
The access is opposite crossovers. However, 79th access is without a crossover.
There may be a problem trying to get a slip-off from the Commissioner of High-
ways on the northern boundary of Farcel 3000.
Mr. Fitzpatrick reviewed the stipulations mentioned so far: Dedication of
service road; northerly half of praposed 83rd Avenue be dedicateds possibility
of access read along the North line if there should be no way to go across the
Northerly edge of the property going in a Westerly direction; dedication to
the North line of the driving range. Slip-off ramp better than a service road.
If no other way because of the Y.M.C.A., have an easement to run in Westerly
direction to give access. �
Mr, Smith said there were no dedications now until the driving range is
reached, ��ahich is at the Southerly portion of the property and that has been
set aside with an agreement with Mr. Barbush that he would give an easement.
Mr. Barbush owns the next gortion up to 83rd Avenue and would be willing to
give that easement, also. From 81st Avenue, all the way across the frontage
of Barbush p�operty and where the Agency g'ans to locate, would be a ser�*ice
road.
The Engineering Assistant pointed out that the driving range was approved
on a temporary 3 to 5 year basis. If the service drive is developed before that
time, the dri.v-ing r,�r:,;e �-��ild ce.ase �.s a husine�=s because the building would
be on one side of tiLe roa�i and tiie �:rivyng ran�e on tne other.
Main Street, in this area, is 1200 feet from University Avenue, and has
been discussed. Main Street will be developed from Osborne Road to the North.
Mr. Barbush was contacted about how the City wanted to develop Main Street and
n
Plannin� Commission Meetin� - February 172 1971 Page 4
it seemed to be agreeable.with him.
Chairman Erickson said that no matter what type of development goes in,
whether this or industrial, the Planning Commissionts recommendation to Council
should be that a slip-of£ ramp should not be percaitted. Service roads must be
provided and loopbacks could be used for a narking lot. He thought they �•�ere
essential as far as traffic was concerned, uut a slip-off is a real hazard.
Traffic can go only one direction and this type of business would generate traf-
fic. The people coming into this area from the North would have to go back to
the South to get back out. Somewhere in the Southern part there would be a
traffic tie up. He thoughtthe Planning Commission should not permit exces5
access at crossovers to the highway which were designed to be limited access.
A service drive from the South would not do that and would not give a problem.
MOTION by Schmedzke that the Planning Commission recommend deniaZ of the
rezoning request, ZOA #71-01, by Wyman Smith for Vikinq Chevro.Zet, Inc. for
the fallowing reasons: Downgrade of Cit� zoning, storm sewer and drainage
problem, City should be prepared to serve property before obligating itself,
spot zoning, tax base, added police protection, location too close to one of
the City parks; with another referendum, the park area in the northern par� of
the City would be extended.
The MOTION failed for Iack of a second.
MOTION by Minish, seconaed by Zeglen, that the Planning Commissi.on recommend
^ to Council appraval of the rezoning request, ZOA #71-01, by Wyman Smith for
Viking Chevrolet, Inc. with the following conditions: 1) Dedicate service
drive with loopbacks from the driving rar.c�� North to Northerly edge of Parcel
3000. 2) Ded�cate 83rd Avenue from Highway #47 to Main Street. 3) Dedica�e
tfie Fitesterlr� 33 feet of Parcel 3QQQ and 3600. 4j Recommend Council negotiate
or condemn for the extension of tFis servi.ce dr�.ve from. ParceZ 3200 and not

1`�r. rl�::ni.s� tfiougat tnis was a significant type for tne development of this
prope.x'ty and is an appropriate use of thas property. It is an area the Planning
Commiss�on slzould watcTi carefully as far as future zoning is concerned.
Mr. �'i.tzpatrick, Cfiairman of tlze Parks & Recreation Commission, added that
the Commission always accepts gif�s of park property, especially property too
expensive to �_uyr

Chairman Erickson said that Items ��2 and 4�3 would be considered together.
He, then, read the Public Hearing Notices.
Mr. Minish disqualified himself and did not participate in the proceedings.
The following men were present to discuss the petition: Lance Norderhus,
Jerry McLau�,hiin and Mickey Huddleton.
Mr. Norderhus opened the comments by saying the Colonial Services, Inc.
have been owners of the property for four years, and now were requesting to
rezone from M-? to C-2• The area of the property is 35,000 square feet. M-2
requires 1� acres for a building site. The owners had no idea how it could be
developed light industrial. The best use they felt, as owners, was cammercial
for C-2 zoning and their only prospect was a service station. This was the
reason for their request being twofold, rezoning and special use permit. Cham-
plain Petroleum Company would have a combination service station and groceries.
The design of the station does not include ba_ys and no merchandise out front,
but does include groceries and other types of items which have to be kept inside.
Darrel Clark explained that the blacktop area extended to the property
line. The City Code requires 20 feet of greening between the blacktop and
property liTe. Zt�io driveways are closer to the intersection than 75 feet as
provided by zoning ordinance. One or both should be eliminated. Parking for
the station would be morE than adequate with the possibility of space for S cars
in one area and 6 in another area and a few cars in the storage location.
�
Chairman Erickson wished the petitioner to understand that, regardless o
any recommendation by this Body and Council of the plot plan, the request would
still have to go before the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee.
Mr. Norderhus said the vacated service drive becomes green area and land-
scaped,from the 75 foot right of way to the beginning of the curb.
Chairman Erickson stated that the Planning Commission should concern itself
with the rezoning an3 use rather than the plot plan and approval of. the request
did not mean approval of the plan.
Darrel Clark added that the only other body this request would go to is
the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee and Council. The stree*s
as shown on the Preliminary Revised, January 25, 1971, Plot Plan, actually
exist.
Originally the property was 200 feet square and the dimensions along 73rd
Avenue did not change. When the service drive was vacated, it was dedicated
back to the owner. In order to get this loop back, two property owners were
involved, Tarbet Warehouse and Taco Towne I,.��ternational, Inc. and the Cit;�.
The City got some land from Target, Target deeded land to Taco Towne on the
South point of the nlot. The right of way was taken from part of Taco Towne
and given to the City and a small triangle on the West portion was deeded to
Taco and Target. Target ot�ms the property �aest of the service drive all the
way to the road that goes to Locke Park and Taco To��ane the property to th� loon
� back.

MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Schmedeke, that the Planning Commission
close the public hearings of the Rezoning Request, ZOA #71-02, by Colonial
Services Co. to rezone from M-2 to C-2 and the Special Use Permit, SP #71-02,
hy Colonial Services Co.�to locate a service station in a C-2 District on the
Southwest cor�Mer of Hwy. #65 and 73rd AvenvP. Upon a voice vote, a11 voti_ng aye,
the motion carried unanimously.
MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Zeglen, that the Planninq Commission
recommend to Council approval of the rezoning request, ZOA #71-02, by Colonial
Services Co. to rezone from M-2 (heavy industrial) to C-2 (general business)
and the Special Use Permit, SP #71-02, by ColoniaZ Services Co. to locate a
service station as per Section 45.I01,. 3E, Fridley City Code in a C-2 District
on that part of Block 1, FridZey IndustriaZ Park Plat 1 lying Northeast of
Highway #65 West Service Dri ve as now Iaid out and traveled with the stipula-
tion that the second reading of the ordinance be held up until the plans are
approved and the service bays not be allowed until that time. Upon a voice
vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Schmedeke felt that this was another case of down grading and also
another filling station in a loop back. However, with the park being that
close and picknickers usually finding themselves short of wieners and marsh-
mallows, this was a point in f avor of the request. He asked Mr. McLaughlin if
they could plan to use some black spruce as part of the landscaping.
n The comment was made that as long as the driveway was not close to the
building, it was not necessary to go to the Board of Appeals.
4. RECEIVE PETITION N0. 10-1971: Request for acquisition of land located
between Mississippi Street and Rice Creek Road and Stinsom Boulevard and
Arthur Street (Richland, Inc., ZOA ��70-07) for Park purposes.
Vice Chairman Fitzpatrick assumed the Chair as Chairman Erickson had a
conflict of interest. The heading of the petition was read by Acting Chairman
Fitzpatrick.
MUTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission
receive Petition #10-1971 requesting acquisition by the City of Zand for Park
purposes located betwee:� Mississippi Street, Rice Creek Road, Stinson Boulevard
and Arthur Street. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
Acting Chairman Fitzpatrick said this proposal is an ecological type of
investment for the City and not for recreation. The petition is for the entire
parcel described in the rezoning request ot,R.ichland, Inc., ZOA ��70-07.
Mr. Schmerleke asked if the City should plan to acquire this property, would
they condemn. He felt condemnation usually didn't pay what the property is
worth. �
�
Pae7
Planning Commission rieetin� February 17, 1971 — �
� Acting Ciiairman Fitzpatrick said the possibility of the City actually con-
demning is highly unlikely. They can�t acquire anything under the present
financing for Parks. When the bond issue f ailed, the Park Department has to
work year to year by Council budget. This land is an area where there are no
recreational facilities,.and that is the chief inerit.
n.
n
Mr. Schmedeke wondered if it would be feasible to develop this land for a
park when tfie City has so many other parks that need to be improved.
Darrel Clark added that the area would be having several natural parks;
one about a quarter of a mile North, one site one half mile South of the land
in the Richland, Inc. rezoning request, Creek bottom and property donated by
Viewcon, Inc. The ecological type of holdings are along Rice Creek where there
will be nature trails.
Mr. Minish felt
be considered by the
Zeglen felt Petition
the Council.
that additional park land is always desirable, but should
Committee f amiliar with the extent of our park land. Mr.
4�10-1971 should be referred to the Park Commission and
1KOTION by Minish, seconded by Zeglen; that the Planning Commission refer
to Parks & Recreation Commission and Council Petition #10-1971 which requests
acquisition of Iand by the City for park purposes located between Mississippi
Street and Rice Creek Road, Stinson Boulevard and Arthur Street. Upon a voice
vote. alI voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Chairman Erickson xesumed the Chair.
5. RECEIVE PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES: JANUARY 25 1971
MOTION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by 5chmedeke, that the Planning Commission
receive the minutes of the Parks & Recreation Commission meeting of January 25,
1971. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
6. TWIN CITY JOINT CONFERENCE ON PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT SPONSQRED BY THE
METROPOLITAN COUNCIL: .February 18, 1971.
Chairman Erickson said this meeting would be open to members of the Planning.
Commission if they wished to attend. The main speaker would be Dick Babcock,
Attorney and author of "Zoning Game". He has been on both sides of the question.
Other speakers were represeiitatives of neighboring suburbs.
7, PLANNING COrIMISSION:
"The Planning Commission is probably not doing the job it could do as f ar
as actual planning in the community", commented Chairman Erickson. "This was
brought to a he�c. by various actior_s the City Counci_1 has taken the last coupl.e
of years as far as pas�ing ordirances �Thich affect the use of land and never
coming down througli the Planning Commi�ssion nor having a publie hearing. Maybe
this Commission should either directly ask or indirectly ask to see if problems

Plannin� Commission Meeting

like East River Road alignment should not be heard before the Planning Commission
and let th� Planning Commission submit a report and our own recommendations to
Council. The public can't throw us out of office for our ideas. It would help
the Council get some of the political pressure off them.
"Change to the building code, such as one coming up March 1, 1971, which
has to do w�i .: the number of garages a per: :n has to build o� a lot, shQ�3td be
heard in public. Let it be heard here at the Planning Commission level and
let Council make the decision after that. It is unfair to the general public
to pass these ordinances without a public hearing on both sides of the question.
The Planning Gommission should be the sounding board on these items.
"Now the City of Fridley is still operating under the 1967 Building Code.
There is a 1970 Building Code. Th� C'ity of Minneapolis and Bloomington have
adopted the 1970 Building Code with some change; Hopkins, no change. We are
still operating on one four years old. Since the Building Department doesn't
seem to be willing to push the Code, perhaps we should have a hearing. Let the
Building Department make suggestions and pass their recommendations to Council
together with our own.
"The City of Minneapolis has the Building Department come in and suggest
changes thar they want to �ake to the Building Code. Publish notices of public
hearing and hear frotn all sides as to code and changes and then recommend to
Council the adoption of .*_he changes.
� Chairman Erickson continued, "The Planning Commission should have the
responsibility of reviewing changes in the Building Code and Zoning Ordinances.
They should be able to call in the Building Department for their recommendations,
and, also, interested members of the public, and ca11 a Public Hearing if
- --necessary.

19, 1971 meeting.
Seconded by Tonco. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.
1. CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT A CLAIMS OFFICE LOCATED ON LOT 11,
BLOCK 2, COMMERCE PARK, THE SAME BEING 7400 UNIVERSITY AVENUE N.E., FRIDLEY,
MINNESOTA (REQUEST BY AMERICAN FAMILY INSURANCE CO., 1745 LTNIVERSITY AVENUE,
ST. PAUL, MINNESOTA 55104.)
Mr. Mel Grell and Mr. Dave Moe were present to present the request.
Mr. Grell stated that the building would be setback 60 feet as required.
A variance had been granted, however, because the building would be smaller
than the minimum a11oF�ed in a commercial area. The exterior of the building
will be brick facing around the eatire buiiuing.
The building will be used for a drive-in claims service. There will be
room for two cars inside the building at one time. They will drive in for
^ an estimate which takes about 10 to 20 minutes. There will be no overnight
storage of cars.
The Board asked what type of shakes they would be usixxg and also if the block
on the building would be painted.
They stated that they would use hand split cedar shakes and the ext�rior
block would be painted..
MOTION by Tonco to recommend approval oi a building permit subject �o
everything marked in red on the plans including the following stipulations:
1. Concrete curbing must be provided around all�blacktop areas with a
� minimum 10' radius provided on all concrete curbing around islands and
entries.
2. All exterior block on the building must be painted.
Seconded by White. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously.

� Mr. Bill Meyer from Suburban Engineering was present to present the request.
_ - _ �.: ��'
Building Standards-Design Control Meeting of :r'ebruary 18, 1971 Page 2
Mr. Meyer stated that the change in the locations of the buildings was made
due to the grade of the property. Also, with the new locations they will
�' be able to make use of the river frontage. �
The Board informed Mr. Meyer that all the parking spaces would have to be
changed from 9' x 20' to 10' x 20' to conform to City code. The Board also
said that a com�lete plot plan would be needed showing the exact position
of the buildings from an established point su,:h as the lot line behind the
Lynwood Manor Nursing Home. They also said that the drainage should be shown
on the final plans. It was also questioned whether there would be enough
of a walkway left if the 5' walk was used for a curb stop for parking because
of the overhang �n the cars.
A few other items mentioned to Mr. Meyer. were that if there was any exterior
refuse storage, it would have to be screened and that the swimming pool
would have to be approved by the Health Inspector.
MOTION by Tonco to recommend approval of the change in the building locations
with the fol2owing stipulations to be included in the final plans;
1. All parking spaces be changed to 10' x 20'.
2, That a coa�plete plot plan be submitted showing the exact position of the
buildings from an established point such as the lot line behind the
Lynwood Manor Nursing home.
n
3. That any exterior refuse storage will have to be screened.
4. The swimming pool will have to be approved by the Health Inspector.
5. Concrete curbing must be provided around all blacktop areas with a
minimum 10' radius provided on all concrete curbing around islands and
entries.
Seconded by White. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried
unanimously. -

THE MLNUTES OF TfTE BOARD OF APPEALS MEETING OF FEBRUARY 23 1971
The meeting was called to order by Chairmarc�Iinish at 7:30 P.M.
^ MENNIBERS PRESENT: Minish, Ahonen, Sondheimer, Harju
MF.�M.BERS ABSENT : Drigans
pTHERS PRESENT: A1 Bagstad-Building Official
MOTIQN by Ahonen to approve�the minutes of the January 26, 1971 meeting as
written.
Seconded by Sondhei.mer. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion
carried unanimously.
Chairman Minish stated the action the Council took on the January 26, 1971
Board items. �
1, A VARIANCE OF SECTION 56.05 3a FRIDLEY CITY CODE TO INCREASE THE MAXIMiJM
ROOF SIGN AREA FROM 78 SQUARE FEET (15% OF TOTAL AREA OF WALL) to 176 SQUARE
FEET TO ALLOW THE ERECTION OF A SIGN TO BE LOCATED ON PARCEL 1500, SZ OF
SECTION 13, T-30, R-24. ANOKA COUNTY, MINNESOTA, TH� SAME BEING 6227 HIGHWAY 65,
F'RIDLEY MINNESOTh (REQUEST BY FACTORY WAREHOUSE STORE, C227_ HIGHf�'AY 65,
FgIDLEY, MINNESOTA.)
Mx. Stephen Winnick, Attorney representing the applicant and Mr. Donald Newman
of Speed-O-Laq Products Cornpany, Inc. were present to present the request.
A sketch of the sign and pictures of the section of the shopping center where
^ the sign is to be located were shown to the Board.
Mr. Winnick stated this will be a Badger Paint Stare which is new to this area.
For this reason considerable time and effort went into selecting a location for
this test store. Fridley was selected for zhe location of the test store as it
was deemed an ideal marketing area. The store will be located next to Casino
Royale in Shorewood Shopping Center.
He continued the sign will have a total length of 40 feet and will be 5 feet
a*_ the highe�t point. It wi11 l:ave sing? e ro*.as of f? erascent lib?�ts t� have
minimal lighting and 40 per cent of the sign will be black in color so there
will be a low reflective value. The sign will run the entire len�th of the
store.
Mr. Winnick stated �peed-O-Laq Products Company, Incorporated is a national
c�rporation and they hope to open other operations in Minnesota if this store
is profztable. They ara also hoping to get the proposed sign standardized to
be able to get a better price on the future signs they will need.
Mr. Newman stated that they want to bring Badger Paint into Minnesota as it is
a well establish�3 company and is Wisconsin's 'argest paint company. The s�ure
they have selected i_n Shorewood Shopping Center is the ideal size but it•is fax
removed from the flow of traffic on I�ighway 65. Because they are away fxom the
traffic flow and because they are not an astablished name in"this area they
felt this was the smalles� sign they could have and still dxaw the people to
tiieir s tore .

Board of A peals Minutes of Februarv 23, 1971 P�e 2
Mr. Sondheimer asked Mr. Newma.n what the sign was constructed of.
�. Mr. Newman stated the sign was enameled metal and all steel constructed. It
will be erected on the existing supports on the roof.and will be flush with
the roof.
MOTION by Ahonen to close the Public Hearing.
Seconded by Harju. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried
unanimously.
MOTION by Ahonen to recommend to the City Council approval of the request for
the following reasons and with the stipulation that the sign including the
space between the roof and the sign, will stay in conformity with the adjacent
signs. _
1. The hardship being the distance from the passing traffic on Highway 65.
2. Th� height of the sign as proposed will be compatible with the existing
signs and they are not asking for anything longer than the front of tlie
store. '
3. This is a test store and a new sales venture for Speed-O-Laq.
Seconded by Sondheimero Upon a voice vote, there bei.ng no nays, the motion

1. PUBLIC HEARING• REZONING REQLTEST: ZOA ��70-07, RZCHLAND, INC. BY R.G._
ERNST: To rezone from R-1 to R-2 (two family dwellings) the South 395
feet of Lot l, Lots 2 and 3, Lot 4, except that part of the West 132 feet
lying South of the North 328.9 feet, Lots 5 and 6 except the South 230
feet thereof, Auditor's Subdivision No. 22.
The publ�.c hearin� notice was read by Vice Chairman Fitzpatrick.
_ The Engineering Assistant read from the Zoning Ordinance Adopted November 3,
1969 the "Uses Permitted" under R-2 Districts (Section 45.OG, 1-A) as follows:
� 1) Ztao family dwellings, 2) One family dwellings, 3)Agriculture, including
farm, trucic gardens and orchards, but excluding animal and poultry raising,
4( Churches, parish house� and convents, S) Townhouses, un3er the canditions
stated in the townhouse development Section 45.14." He summed it up by saying
R-2 does not include any larger unit than two family dwellings.
0
Mr. Ernst was given the floor to exptain his project. The maps wexe dis-
pla}sed so that the audience could observe them. Lot 1 was in the original plan,
but the owner has, since then, asked to be excluded at this time. The other
exclusions were along Rice Creek Road where homes are now located. The total
area of the request is approximately 32 acres. The intent is to subdivide the
property into single family and tW�� family uses. The main internal. street will
li_ne up with Anok� Street at 'viississippi Stree� an� continuQ to Rice Cr��<'_:
�aad. One cul de sac will be South of Mis�issip�i rur,ning East, the next or�e
w�.11 be North of Rice Creek Road with a single cul de sac to the West and a
double cul de sac to the Ea::t which takes care of a larger area. The intent
is to excavate a large ppttd or lake using material from the excavation to fill

Planninr Commis�ion Mectin� - January "�(�. 1971 PaQe 2 I
^ th� surrounding lowlands and fill f.or the area to the North abutting Mississippi
Street which they propose to dedicate to the City for a City Park. They feei
there is a need for this type of housing -- single family mixed with two family
dwellings in a price bracket which will ultimateiy allow the people to own their
own homes. They did nat have, at this time, a breakdown as to the number of
double bungalows, two family and single f.amily units they wi11 constrt�:t. They
intend to offer lots for sale with the bu,�er having the option of h��'_:�� his own
contractor or use the contractor for the project.
Regarding the ponding, a small lake would be constructed provided with an
overfl�w with a control structure at the outlet of the lake. In this wa„ the
water level would be maintained the year around. From the control structure,
the water would follow a West drainage �iitch through the property out on Old
Central Avenue to Moore Lake. They felt that this is an inexpensive solution
to the"storm sewer problem ta the area and one which benefits everyone by main-
taining a water reserve in the area and �aould have an aesthetic appeal to the
neighborhood.
Roy De Mars, 1442 Misszssippi: He said that eight years ago there was talk
of draining the same area, and in the same way as suggested this evening. He
asked where is the water from Moore Lake going? When you raise the water'level
too high in Moore Lake, it will. overflow the highway. They wanted Us to pay
for a storm drain going across into Moore Lake where all that water builds up
and Moore Lake has not gotten an adequate dra3.nage system to take care of the
overflow water. He understood that there is an overflow pipe from the Lake to
^ Rice Creek and that it is too small to take care of the storm water now.
Mr. Ernst answered that he had beer�,. advised otherwise; that Moore Lake
overflow has the capacity to handle the storm sewer problem from this area.
They felt creating a large retention basin such as the one shown in their plans
would retain the water and then allow it to �o into Moore Lake.
In answer to the questians raised regarding the development, he listed
�them. 1) Apartments: This was answered at the start of the hearing. They
3id r.�t intend ta 3eve�op apartments ir this area. 2) Cost �f �tcr^: s�wer:
Ae did not have the answer what the storm sewer would cost to run into Rice
Creek, but he understood several hundred thousand dollars. What they are pro-
posing to use would cost considerably less. 3) Traffic: R.ice Creek Road is
a major thoroughfare road on the South and Mississippi Street on the North will
be more than adequate to handle the traffic generated from the area. This area
would contribure an insignificant amount of traffic. 4) Design of Buiidings:
" He understood there was some concern that iden�ical types of buildings would
be built which would depreciate the area. He believed his prior statement of
, having lots for sale to buyers where they could contract with their own can-
tractors or have them build using theix plans or the plans of Richland, Inc.
would prote�� the neighborhood. 5) Low �ost: By obtaining R-2, they felt
this would provide the opportunity of building two family dwellings which
� could eliminate low cost housing occurring. 6) Ecology in the area: They
have gone a l�ng way to keep the wildlife in the area. The neighborhood ha.s
appreciated the natural beauty of th� �.r�a anc� have en;oyed this to the cost
of the �roperty ot:n.t-rs � 7) School chi i,-lrer;: He could not piedict the r.��-�,ber
� of school childre.ra that cnis ar.ea Gioi:ld develop and did not believe anyo �? els�
could. Based upon a survEy that the City af Fridley made about a year ago,
�

he would expect there would be fewer children from a development such as the one
they are proposir.g wl�ich contains 74 iots rezoned R-2 against 105 lots if zoned
R-1.
Robert W. EricksoR, 565 57th Avenue: He asked for more information about
the natura]. drainage system.
The Engineering Assistant explained that a retention pond would be developed
with an open ditch to Central Avenue and it would have to cross property other
than that of the project. The property o�ners would be contacted, and the
City would have to negotiate with them o��°ring what they cansider a fair price.
If this is unsuccessful, the City could go to condemnation, the court appoints
three appraisers. Both the City and the property owners can appeal the outcome
of the court's decision.
Mr. Erickson asked if there were sufficient water supply in existance or
would the major supply have to be increased to take care of the needs of the
area. And how about the sewer?
The Engineerin.g Assistant answered that the system is adequate. Sewer and
water were designed to take care of this area for R-1 dwellings and the number
of family units would be about the sa*..^.� for this project. Mr. Erickson asked
if the valuation of the property would change with rezoning. Darrel Clark
sa�d that taxes are basically set on valuation and w:�ether or not the land is
homesteaded, but he eould not really answer questions on real estate taxes.
^ Mr. Erickson said the whole area is R-1 with single family residences,
and there is no need to rezone t'he property.
�
David A. Weiland", 1450 64th Avenue: He wished to present a petition
against the rezoning request. He stated the people contacted w�re told duplexes
were going in and not apartments. The original petition was presented with the
assurance given Mr. Weiland that Council would a2so see the petitions.
1MOTI0!'� by Schme3�k�, se�cndec� by Zeg?_°n. that the Planning Commzssion
receive the, petition p�4esented by David A. Weiland, 1450 64th Avenue, petition-
ing against the rezoning request, ZOA #70-07, Richland, Inc. by R. C. Ernst.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Weiland then asked permission to read the heading of the petition
which listed the reasons to disallow the.present and all future rezoning of
subject area. He said that 169 residents signed the petition, and 98% of these
were property owners.
He then discussed the items separately. 1) Ecology: Talking about
revenue an� ecology, ecology loses. Mr. Jerald Tjader approached the Netro-
politan Council. They showed interest in the area and are sending out an
ecologist to see if this area has value for a reservation for wildlife. There
are ten families who are definitely interested in the ecology. 2) F.nvironment:
They referred to duplex areas in Hi_lltop. They are run down. For every pro,
he would aive a c�n. 3) iti� sch.aol iG nor o�;ercrowded now. 4) Future propert;�
value: He citad 6�th ��t�?nu�. as �n eramplt_ of a street which was upgra�ed at
a rapid pace after the people had a stree� put in, got FI3A loans and put up
�garages. 5) Additional assessments �n the £orm of increased capacity sewers,
�- water and streets, at ttae cos� o� ?xisting property owners. The City Engineer
told him �f. the job is done right, an under�round sewer i5 the only answer,
anytYting else is an eyzsore ar�d an at�ractive nuisance to kids. Th� cost of
�
�
pl

the sewer the City Engineer was talking about was approximately one million
dollars. The Federal Government turned down this project twice. If this storm
sewer put in, other property owners wuuld be assessed $10.00 for every 100
square feet. The average piece of property is 75' x 135'. 6) Zoning System:
Mr. Weiland had grepared a City map showing the R-2 areas colored green and the
R-3 colored yellow. He felt the rezoning request was arbitrary and not to the
best interests of the people.
Mr. Robert Erickson felt it should not be necessary to rezone a residential
area when there is ample acrea�e in the northern part of the City, and there-
fore, this request should not be considered. He could not express an opinion
great enough and strong enongh that he d�.d not want any rezoning. Mr. Ernst
should try the area to the North and deveZap a new area where there are no
problems such as this area has. '
Mr. Roy De Mars:They do not have sidewalks and gutters and that would
cost all of them more than $2,000 per family because they have 125 foot front
property. What they are trying to do is foree the property awners down to
smaller pieces of property because a lot of them cannot p ay those taxes. If
you approve the request, you are going to have to pui tha sidewalks down the
streets, you cannot get away from it. He would guarantee this could not be
done for less than $2,000 because they have an acre of ground. If a street
were put between 64th and 65th, they could sell the back half of their acreage.
Mr. Harold Thieler., 6515 FridZey Street: The water comes down Fridley and
Anoka and drains into a little pothole. How would that water be taken care of?
The Engineering Assistant said the water also comes down on McKinley Street.
Some catch basins could be installed and the water piped to the pond. This
would not be the ultimate system, but is far less expensive than a storm sewer.
However, eventually the storm sewer would probably go in.
Walter Tyler, 1456 64th Avenue: Five years ago they moved into their
house. The lot is four lots away from the proposed property. They had water
�in the basement at that time. He understood the original ditch was put in 25
years ago. In the past five years there has been no water, no problem because
he filled in the ditch and landscaped the yard. He would object to the open
ditch.
Mr. Richard Janiak, 1655 Mississip�i Street: Mr. Ernst pointed out th?s
- drainage ditch would cost only $50.00 per lot. Mr. Janiak said.he called
Councilman Kelshaw wha said he didn't believe the City would allow an open
drainage ditch for a period of more than one or two years. The cost of a
drainage ditch would pay a good part of the pri.ce of the storm sewer, he
believed. ,
Mr. Richard Kok, 6517 Mc Kinley Street: H� said that Mr. Ernst mentioned
74 lots, and also said this would not be a burden on the school district. If
there are 74 lots with double bungalows, there will be 140 units.
Mr. Ernst answered the 74 lots ��oul� have mixed dwellings, single and two
family. He di.d not know the ratic of ttie single te the dot.ble at this time..
%� Ho��*ever, if they wer.e a� J_ sinnle ln�s, ther� �eu?_�'; be 105 lo�s. jlnat eifect
would this be on tha sewe.r and water was asked by Mr. Kok. The Engineerin�
Assistant said the answer on sewer and water is that the design used for put-

^ ting in the municipal system includes a large safety factor so that 105 units
versus 148 units is such a small,pereentage in the,total of the area, it would
not cause a problem in the capacity of water.�
Roy Holman, 6500 Fridley Street: How can Mississippi Street handle the
additional traific froin this project when it cannot handle what th�r�� is naw?
Darrel Clark said he was sure Mississippi Street will have to be widened
whether or not this development goes through.
Mr. W?iland asked if Chairraan Erickson will have any vote in this matter?
Will he vote and make recommendation to the Council?
Vice Chairman Fitzpatrick said'he would not know whether or not Mr. Erickson
would vote. He did know that quite often one member or another exempts himself
if he has an interest in the r.equest.
Mr. Weiland felt there would be a conflict of interest in this case.
Mr. Walter Tyler said the people on 64th paid for their street out of
their own pockets. If 64th Street went through to Stinson Boulevard, he was
wondering what the traffic would do to that 3 inch base temporary street?
Would that street last until 1977 if it takes additional traffic.
The Engineering Assistant said this development does not have many lots
with direct access to 64th Street. He did not think the increased traffic
� would be on 64th.
Mr. Walter Tyler commented that when Mississippi Street becomes crowded,
the peaple will take the side streets, especially in the morning and I11�1'lt.
You have got to realize all the shopping centers are on the West of this area --
Target, Holiday, Shoppers' City, Country Club. There is nothing on the East
except the New Brighton Super Valu.
Mr. Robert Erickson said that it is obvious at thi� point that the plan
Mt. Ernst brought in is not acceptable and is definitely not the praper zoningy
Mrs. Willa Gonsior, 1601 Rice Creek Road: She and her husband are the main
owner of the proposed property. She said that when a person gets up to social
- security days, one has to sell some of the holdings because of taxes. What
are they supposed to do?
Mr. Robert Erickson told her that he thought it was beautiful property,
but not at the expense of additional taxes to the rest of the area.
Mr. T�d Gonsior, 1601 Rice Creek Ro=+d: He said it was now that he needed
the money. Speaking to Mr. Erickson, he asked him if it were his property, and
if he were in his reclinin� years, how d.id he think he could handle it? He was
not able to get money like you fellows are getting now. He worked for 52.25
an hour. Since 1950 he had been pa_ying ta:ces en this property -- $5,000 a year.
He had tried to get a permit to fill in ttie propertS� but the City would_ not
^ allow h�m to do so, He lived on the prr.p�rt;; since 1962.
Mr. Robert Erickson 5aid he left Chicaga ten years ago, where he saw the
slum area creeping into a residential area when the land was rezoned. This is
why he was going to fight to maintain the p�esent zaning. To go to any other
zonin� from wh�t ther� is in the existing zoning, degradation will begin.

. .
Mr. Jerald Tjader, 6563 Fridley StreeL: He sa�d he had been talking with
Mr. Ernst and Mr. Clark. He was not in favor of R-Z zaning, but neither in R-1.
These people that have the land right now, are paying too many taxes. He thought
the City of Fridley should step in and either make it a park or let the State
and Gounty do it. He would like it to remain as it is now. He thought someone
should take this land off these people's hands. He had talked with people inter-
ested in conservation on the local, state and national level. They are sending
out people to look at the Iand. A staff man of thA Metropolitan Council said
they are interested in hearing about this piece of land and of other land for
` conservancy. He was going to pass a petition to the people of the neighborhood
to present the land to the City for park and the petition will be given to Mr.
Fitzpatrick on Monday. If the rezoning request should be turned down, and if the
geople wanted to sell, the next step wauld be to see if the City has the funds
to buy the land.
Daryl Wolf, 6446 A.rthur Street: He had all he could do now to pay the taxes
let alone bringing in more sewers. He felt the City does nQt need any more
rezoning than what it has now. He approved acquiring the land for park.
Robert R. Pence, 1489 64th Pvenue: He suggested studying the petition and
the names on it. He felt the members of the Planning Commission knew a lot of
the people. He didn�t think the signers of the petition wrote their names just
for the fun of it. He had heard both sides. He didn`t need rezoning regardless,
but he knows what he likes and the previouS gentleman's statement aboui a park
is the solution.
Mr. LaMoine Follingstad, 1626 Rice �reek Road: About all these people that
talk about parks -- when the Park Departmant came out with a program for proposed
parks,� and asked for approval for a Park Bond, everybady shot it down. Tney
wanted no part of it.
Vice Chairman Fitzpatrick said that it was true thei•e was a park bond issue, �
- and that there would have to be some such �hing in the future to provide funds for1
what the people are proposing. I
Mr. Alvin E. Flanders, 6501 Anoka Streetc He said he signed the petition �
against the rezoning. He wished, again, to go on record as opposin� it. ,

Planning Commission is an ady�,$pry Body to�the Council. They do not make the ,
final deci.si�n. The °lar.ning Commission considers the property owner, the

the City co�nes last. This evening was the first time that youX side of the
�.._ �
. �
� �..�.
Plannin� Comnission N:eeting - Jan�.:arv :'� 1971 Page Z
� story has been heard. Two weeks fx.om now, the Planning Commission meets again.
He was going to make a motion to table this item until the next meeting. The
reason for this is, in the first place, whether or not to rezone. He sympathized
with the owner because he also owns property and he would surely hate to have
someone say to him "you have a beautiful piece of praperty" and then have it
taken for half of what it is warth. The City has parks now that 4r� r.ot developed
We have be�n given a piece of property b�� View Con (South of Garder,�, �Jest of
Stinson Baulevard) which will be park property. Maybe there is need for another
Bond issue, he did not know. But he could not see telling a man wha owned
property a long time that his petition would be denied or he should take half
of what it was worth to make a park out �f it. There are always two sides to
an issue. Referring to the map presented earlier in the meeting, Mr. Schmedeke
said the Hyde Park area was colored in green which was the designation by Mr.
Weiland for R-2. Hyde Park is zoned R-3 and C-2 and was rezoned within the
last six months. Ae continued that anyone can come in and ask for rezoning,
and the petitioner this evening has the same right. It daes not mean that
he, personally, was going to vote for the request or that he was going to vote
against -- he was not saying. Then, as "food for thought", Mr. Schmedeke
asked what would be the feeling if the petitioner came in with a plan for R-1?
Mr. Robert Erickson: He said he felt some of the land should be R-1 and
some wildlife preserve.
Mr. Walter Tyler: Referring to the drainage ditch, he said that it must
be about 20 to 25 years ago the ditch was put through there. He moved in 1965.
� All the property in the area was condemned because of water. The people have
brought up their property from the condemned status. Now what will the property
be if another ditch is put through there?
- Mr. Roy De Mars; The three houses on the South side of 64th Avenue begin-
ning at the corner were new homes and condemned because of water in the base-
� meats.
Mr. Schmedeke, referring to the traffic, said the Planning Commission had
the s��e type of problem wi*_h Vi.ewcan. Whenever someone builds, there is going
to be traffic. One way or another, vacant property is going to be developed.
He did not think the traffic would be heavier with the present request or
another one.
A citizen said that there are ways of routing traffic so that it does not
go into residential area.
Member Zeglen said that he agreed with Mr. Schmedeke, that the Planning
Commission has to have more time to study and evaluate the request. He alsa
felt there should be at least four members to vote.

P1 Commiasion Meetin -�ebXUar 3 1971 �a e 2
� The Chairman stated tha� because �@ WSB involved in this r�quest, and ce�tainly
could not vote, fie asked Mr. Fit�patrick to �hair the meeting, and he would �Q�
take part in the convera�tion. A citiz�n asked if someone e1e� would vote in his
place. He was informed that it takes a simpl� majority for the Pl�nning Ccimmteaion
to make a recommendation to the Couneil.
Mr. Ernst said that a number of questione were rai$ed by ths peopl� of the
nei�hborhood, and he felt some had not been a�swered properly. H� reque�ted Che
Planning Commission to table the rezoning requeet for a period of 30 ta 60 daya
in order to have more time to secure satisfactor� answers to the questions and
also an oppox�unity to meet with the people in the neighbprhood a�d discuss th�
project and come up with a plan acceptable to the neighborhood.
Mr. David Wieland said the people felt there was no need Co rezone from R-1
to R-2 -- it is zoned R-1 an� they wou�ld like to ke�p it that way.
Mx. Fitzpatrick explained that the Planning Commission could not vote on the
p�tition now inasmuch as Mr. Ermst requested the Commission to table it.
MbTION by Schmedeke, seconded by Minish, that the Planning Commission tab��
the �ezoning reque�t, ZaA #70-07, requested by Richland, Inc., �eprese�ted by
R. G. Ernst, for 30 to 6p days to give the petitioner more time to study th�
problems. Upon a voice vote, Minish, 2eglen, Fitzpatrick and Schmedeke voting
aye, Ertckson abstai ning, the motion carried.
^ Mr. Schmedeke stated there were some questions he would have liked answered
because certain facts were not completely clear to him. He wondered if it wauld
be acceptable to have R-1 homes on the peXimeter of the land, ar�d have the R-2
structures, perhaps two rows, in the center. If the center was 300 feet away
from the outer boundaries, he Mr. Ernst probably would not have any trouble
rezonin� to twa family hames. If this weXe the case, Mr. Fitzpatrick said he
was not certain the people more than 300 feet away would be notified.
Mr. Schmedeke continued that the drainage plans were not too clear to h�.m,
for�example, who would be assessed and how wide would the ditch be. He felt
it would be a s�ore acceptable and attractive job using the 4Q foo[ easement.
A walk area could be proposed, leave some of th� natural vegetation to attract
and keep the wildlife that �s there now, and construct the banks so that th�
area would look like a creek.
Mr. Wieland said that the storm drainage ditch would be crossing his property.
He would like to have a vote on the land remaining R-1. He knew 901' of ths
people were against the rezoning. As R-1 property, the land �s valuable and could
be drained. R-2 would be four times as valuable, but only to the people who own
the property. The rest of the people will not see the value of it. He would
request a motion to deny the request outright.
Acting Chairman Fitzpatrick explained that the property is R-1. The owner has
the right, at any time, to petition for a rezoning, and he may again in the future.
In the meantime the motion to table the reques[ was in ordex, but in s4 £ar as
Mr. Wieland's statement, the property in question is zoned R-1 and will remain so
s^� ur�til changed by the Council.
One of the citizens asked if the request to table was for the petition to be
continued at a later date or withdrawn.

draw, but table the decisioa os� the mattear and give the peGitionere additional
tim� to answer some o£ the questians whic'h were raieed,
The audience were informed that tabling an item was not unueual. In this
case, th� public hearing was closed. The members qf the audience will rec�ive
notieea when this requeat comes back on the agenda.
�efore Chai.rman Erickaon returned to the chai.r, he addreeaad the aud�eace.
sayi�g, iirsfi o€ al�., he owns ten acres which was ownQd by Mr. (3ardnex and wae
abou� to be lost by taxes. He worked on a purchase pa�ice agree�b].e to both, of
them. He had not talked to any member of the Plann�ing Commisa�on about thie
item, nor would he in the £uture. Neither would he vote on i.t. They feel there
has not been campiete undexatanding between thetnselvee and the people. They
want the �pportunity,to study further and the oppor�unity to ��t down with the
p�ople and get tiieir viewa, to see if they can get to$ethex, aad if the people
did not change their minds, they can go ahead and vote againat it,
Chairman Erickson had looked at the area for some time �nd felt it was one
o£ Che problem areas in the City. If th�y cannot wark out anything eatiafactory
to the people, who can object, then they will try to work out anather plan in
some other way. In no case were they trying to "�ull anything"� �ut Chey would
l�ke ta sit down a�d talk about it with all the int�rested part�es.
Chairman �rickson continued -� there was a co�ment about the duplexes in
^ Columbia Heights -- very bad, but he could show some pictures oi some that are
good. He did not think anything is slum if a man �akes care of his property.
He thought that restricting the size of houses was ineorrect. If a man Wanted
to live in a house without a garage, he should be able to do so, but the City GQd+e
daes not permit it any more. He did not intend to hur� anybody by his canetxuc-
tion or anybody he sold to. If anyone wanted to look at the hotaes he has built,
he would be glad to take them around.
Mr. Eyler said he understood Mr. Erickson would sit down and talk �o them
individually, but he.felt it should be the whole group.
Mr. Erickson said that was just what he wanted to -- sit down with all of
the people.
Mr. Wieland offered his basement for the meeting:

Mr. A�.bert Johnson said he was asking for a permit to build a double bunga�.aw

MEMO T0: Planning Commission
^ MEMO FROM: Nasim M. Qureshi - City Engineer-Director of Planning
MEMO DATE: March 1, 1971
MEMO NO.: MISC. ��71-02
RE: Review & Formulation of Policy Regarding Future
Development of Gas Stations
Gentlemen:
We would like the Planning Commission to review and help formulate
appropriate recon�nendations to the City Council for the above referred
item.
PROBLEM
A rash of requests in recent years to build gas stations through-
out the City. Fourteen gas stations have been added since 1965, almost
a 50�% increase. Now under our present Zoning Ordinance all gas stations
require a Special Use Permit and some of these recent requests require
rezoning also; and the City does not have an overall plan to guide this
type of development.
OBJECTIVE
The City now has a number of these facilities and further
development in this area should be guided by definite policies as
determined by the City.
,
EXISTING STATUS AND CITY CODE
Enclosed herewith you will find the following:
1) A map showing the location and type of gas stations
2) List of addresses and type of gas stations
3) Section 13 of City Code for gasoline pumps
4) Sections of Zoning Ordinance relative to Special Use require�ents
under different Zoning districts.
STANI7ARDS Iv'EEDED
Standards listing the conditions by which our community�s
objectives can be realized should state specific needs, location
standards, ^nd any other reasonable guides which will prevent unaccep-
table developments. Some of the specific problems we are having is
the clustering of service stations at intersections; and also the
loopbacks at service roads seem to be an irresistible location for
a service station, in spite of *he fact that the area of the parcel
may be equally suitable for a variety of other uses including restau-
�, rants and offices.
planning Commission
March 1, 1971
�
Page 2 �
The questions are:.
1) How many gas station locations are'needed to service
the different sections of the City•
2) How many gas stations should be allowed at specific
intersections7 (Note: Consideration should be given
to locations in neighboring communities.)
EFFECTIVE TOOLS
The use of our Zoning brdinance provisions conce�rning Special
Use Permits and Rezoning requests should be more effective once a
policy is formulated.
ADVANTAGES
Qnce a policy statement is formulated, oil companies will be
able to identify more clearly a�eas where gas stations ean be
developed properly according to City requirements.
If additional information or �ata is needed, please advise and we
;.•� will be glad to supply it.

Gentlemen:
It has come to my attention that you will be considering an
ordinance requiring a double garage for single family hornes
and a four-car garage for two family dwellings. As Chairman
of your Planning Commission,glfaTaasZgarageuadditionsyand thet
we have had a few problems a
access to ].ot area in which to construct additional garage space.
However, I also feel that housing inherentfrightttoechonseCforeds
of our society and people have an i three or no
themselves as to whether or not they have one,
two,
garage. They shoul� aof° lead'�in9 harduhip thraughia Baardmofner
without the necessi y P
Appeals as has been suggested.
The four-car garage facilities have the same objectionsa�a°e�me
and probablY ssardiunderions�form�ofrmultiple usemthangthegothers.
would be nece y
Courts have found it ihanganothsrs� different regulations for one
type of multiple use t
If additional tax base is a reas°effforSOUr hard�pres°°d�ciiiz°1�
it is unreasor.able.and other reli
should be sought.
I do believe, however, thet some change in thQ�evPTnminormit may
necessary to avoid an acknowledged pi�oblem,
really be. Perhaps any home with a single garage should be
1�-12 feet from the property line, like our provisions for a
house without a garage, to permit the addition to the garage or a
drive to the rear for a new garage. This, of cour5e, may not even
solve all our problems 10 years from now if we find we then need
3-car garages.

3231 CENTRAL AVENUE N.E. • MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 55418 • 789•8878
City Council - City of Fridley
As a practical matter, the cost of land and improvements is
rising so rapidly that we are not likely to see many of the
small homes that would be built without garages. Also, in-
stead of increasing the cost of housing to all people, includ-
ing those that are hard pressed to affnrd it, ��e should be
trying to find ways to reduce the �ost. If there is any new
platting in the camminity which appears to be of such value that
the items in this proposal are desirable, no doubt the developer
can be persuaded to add the garages into his covenants. I hope
that some of the points I have tried to make will enable you to
reach a decic��on NOT to adopt such an ordinance.
One other item is on my mind at the moment. It is almost
March lst and the City of Fridley has not yet adopted the
1970 Edttion of the Uniform Building Code. I understand that
at this time the inspection Department and the Engineer are
preparing to offer the code and some amendments theret� to the
Council for adoption. Therefc�re, I intend to present the Code
to the Planning Commission on March 17� 1971 and will invite the
8uilding Department, Engineer and any other interested parties,
whether officials or members of the public, to attend and express
their viewpoints on the adoption as the Code �.�� written, or what
amendments thereto should be inserted. The local newspaper will
be asked to publi,� notice of the meeting.
