Ordinance No. 443 was adopted on December 15, 1969 but ttie public�tion was to be held up until certain agreements were signed. These agreements referred to the Southern most part of the property which Was to be deeded to the City except 160 feet which could be used as density. Darrel Clark said he understood the probate court would be able to release the portion to the City prior to settling of the entire estate. He did not believe the petitioner was the fee c�wner yet. In discusaing the rough drawing of the to�mhouae development planned for this area, the first impreasion was the area was full of buildings and parking lota. Chairman Erickaon said the townhouse aection of the ordinance is a new one. It was not studied by the Planning Comtnisaion, but was added after the Comsis- ^ sion finished their study. The ordinance permits townhouaea in Fridley. If a preliminary plan ia up for approval, the landscaping, etc. haa to be shown. This plan does not show it. He felt the Commisaion would be within their rights to ackno�wledge the fact that the tawnhouse concept ia all right in this area, but did not approve this one because the informa�l.oz� �u�cn�.shgd was not adequate, Plannin� Com�isaion Meeting - May 5, 1971 Page 4 _ ^ The request for approval of the concepE wae to be returned to the Building Standards-pesign Control Subcommittee.

Mr. Schroer said the pools are fenced in and cars do not enter the pool area, � Mr. Schroer said the Company handling the recreational equipment is from Roseville. Mr. Schmedeke said that a compaay selling uaed rentals or uaed auto trailers has to have asnitary facilities with a permanent building. This is what every dealer hg8 to do. If the City allaws one person to disregard this stipulation, he knew of one half dozen other auto agencies that would like to come in under such a temporary basis. Mr. Schmedeke then read fram the State of Minnesota Dealers Guide. Mr. Schroer said he wa� not aelling recrea- tional equipment, but he was representing the co�mpany and he was certain they were aware of those probleme. The discussion returned to the request for the swimming pools. Mr. Schroer said the cabana and alsost all the pools would be removed in the fall. He stated the Green Giant people have the coatract for the awinming pools and the contract stated the area was to be clesned up by October 31st. Mr. Schroer was asked if- there would be book work done in the cabana. He said the sales probably would be written up there, but the final sales trans- action would be in the main building through the central check out. Chairman Erickson eaid the bamic questioa� ia vhether or aot the �alea of awimting pools re�uire a apecial use per�it. Peter Herlofaky referr�d to Section 45.101, B-3i� "--- aporting equiptaeat and lilee esterpriaea having ita �erchandiee in the open and not under the cover of � di�la� salesroom." and aaid that rae Mhy they felt a special use pe�it mae needed. ?lr. Schmedeke said he had no objection to the pool center providing the /'� building wae not uaed for an office. n ,i'� �lanning Commnission Meeting - May 5, 1971 Page 5 Mr. And�e Haugen said that on Oct�ber 31st, Green Giaxat will decide if the project is to be continued. If the decieion is not in favor of being continued, all the equipment will be removed; o�:herwise most of the pools would be removed and the cabana could be placed on joist-lik,e ekids to move it if it Were not so1d. Chairma�n Brickson said that as long a� this ie a temporary status, he did not aee any particular objection having the cabana for a sales office ae long as tihe stipulation is that it has to be taken out by a specified time. Mr. Haugen said he had a one year lease with option for renei►al. This is an experiment by Green Giant and if it goes through, permanent buildings may be built. � The pool center wonld have a chain fence. Mr. Schroer said that this request is on a temporary basis.

Chairman Erickson recalled that this same requeat �as made about a year ago for Lota.l and S, Block 1, Herwal 2nd Addition, and because of neighborhood opposition, was turned down. Mr. Schmedeke said that he had voted for the request because Mr. Mischke was going to build a structure. Mr. Schroer said they plan to use a c�maping trailer for a sales offic�. He asked if the c�ping trailer sanitary facilities are satiafactory to the Gity. Peter Herlofaky eaid that he had checked with the office of the Sanitarian, but Mr. McPhee was out of town for a week. He felt a rest room was necessary. Chairman Erickson said he felt the Commiasion ahould study this request for a cauple of weeks. He was not certain he would like to see that type of opera- ^ tion in the area and felt a check ahould be completed for rest roams.

With him this evening was William Silver of the firm of Gingold, Pink Architecture and Gerald Bond of Shelter Homes. He said that several of the men working with Shelter Fiomes were for- merly with Pemtom, and they have brought fresh and unusual ideas for this ^ type of home. , The hom�e is to be constructed on Target property. The area of the home is 1,230 square feet, and it is a three bedroom L shaped rambler. It would be put on a post and beam foundation, and is a temporary structure. All rooms and the second half bath would be finished except the master bedroom. The reason for the unfinished roam is to identify the various walls, the various steps of construction that the house could be left in. There is a triple garage. The house might be considered as an office if you can call taking dawn cash payments office procedure, but the final closing would be at the main office at 78th Street and Cedar Avenue. The location at Target would be easy to find because of the highways. They could not estimate the volume of people their display would attract, but they could live with a figure of 3Q0 a week. Their home will be attractively done and will be landscaped. They have found that the phenomenon of a model home at a high traffic area is an effective way to advertise. The land they would be selling to would be located in Zimmerman, Forest Lake, Elk River, Maple Plain and Chisago City. Mr. 0'Brien continued that if conditions are favorable, Shelter Homes would like the arrangement with Target on a permanent basis. Chairman Erickson said a special use permit requires a public hearing. This item caane in today with another request. Technically, the Planning Com- mission can't act until there has been a public hearing or unless the adjacent ^ property owners waive the put�lic hearing. Mr. 0'Brien said that they would appreciate a decision by th� �iret of June or at least by the fifteenth of June.

The elevations �rere not ready snd the plans should be drawn to ahow msximum ap ace so the layout is not crawded. Mc. Larson said that he would comply �rith all the requirements and that he had plenty of time to do so. 1N�TION by Zeglen, seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the request to approve the concept of a preliminary plan for a townhouse development by Roger Larson of the North 813 feet of the East 3/4 of NF,''� of NE� , Section 13, be returned to the Buildiny Standards-Design Control Subcommittee.

They would like to put the pulpit in the center of the sanctuary and with the stairway there they could not, The Board suggested that perhaps they could add an addition to the back for the stairway. In this way they could make this stairway wider and it would enable them to put the pulpit in the center of the sanctuary.

He also stated that the recreation building in the center o� the oomplex will also be built in two phases. Beside the recreation building, there will also be a park area of 6 or 7 acres around the lake. The idea of this being a City park has been discussed but at this time nothing has been decided. . Mr. Phillips stated that they were going to have two basic towahouse units; one 20' wide and one 24' wide. The people can then vary these units with additional features. In this way, they can reach a broad market of people. The 20' unit will be available with 2 or 3 bedrooms and a single car garage.

A drawing of the aign and plot plan were presented to the Board. Mr. Anderson explained there was an existing sign at this location until a car hit it and broke the pole. He continued they will be reglacing the sign exactly as it was before. A new pole, new foundation and new plastic faces will be used but they will be reusing the same sign frame, raceways and some of the old wiring. Mr. Ahonen asked why the sign that is going to be put up cannot conform to the code? Mr. Anderson answered the owners would like to salvage as much of the old sign as possible to keep the cost down. Rebuilding this sign would cost somewhere around $500.00 but to build a whole new sign would be in the area of $1,000 to $1700. Also the owners feel they need the size to catch the eye of the fast moving traffic on East River Road. Mr. Bagstad stated this station does have extra signs up that should be taken down before a new sign permit is issued and the Building Inspection Department would like the Board to take this into consideration when they make their reco�endation to the Council. 1�OTION by Sondheimer to close the public hearing. Seconded by I�arju. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Ahonen to recoirmend to the Council approval of the variance as 2/3 of the si.gn will be recovered by using th� same frame, raceways and some wiring. This motion would be contingent upon removal of all non-confoYVning signs. n Seconded by 9ondheimer.

A plot plan was shown to the Board. Mr. Bachand explained this is basically an addition onto the living room which is presently 12 feet by 21 feet approximately. He added he can't add onto either side of the house because of the setbacks and to add onto the back of the house would just be enlarging the bedroom.

No survey or plot plan or house plan were shown to the Board. Mr. Cassexly stated he had bought this property, which had a double bungalow an it, in 1959. He resided at this address until 1965 when the tornado took the house. Between the time of the tornado and the time of ^ the settlement with the insurance company, Mr. Casserly bought another house which he now lives in. He has had this lot up for sale for three years but � /'� ��� � .� U of of May il, 1971 P he has had no buyers during this time. He had also been paying taxes on this lot over the years which are approxiunately $110.00 a year. Mr. Casserly said Rose Real Estate has now proposed to build a 24 foot by 4�.� foot house on the lot and then after it is sold I will get the m�ney for the lot. Mr. Mattson e�tplained the property is without a peYmit to build and without a building the lot is useless. We do intend to build a house on the lot that will meet all the City Cod�s but before we come up with a house plan we aeed the perniission of the City to build on this lot. Mr. Herb Bloom, 5611-6th Street was present to voice his objections to the request. His main objection was that cars for the double bungalow would have to park on the street if a house was built on this lot, as the cars now use this lot as parking area. Also the kids from the double bungalow use this land ae play axea as the bungalow has no back yard to speak of. Mr. Mattson asked what is going to become of this lot if Mr. Casserly doesn't get a peYmit to buil.d on it? Chairman Minish stated he �elt the Board needed more info�►ation about the house that is proposed to be built and where it will be located on the lot, before they could make a recomnenda.tion to the Council. Mr. Sondhei.mer asked if Mr. Casserly or Rose Real Estate had personally contacted the bungalow owners to see if they would buy the lot? Mr. Casserly stated the land has been for sale for 3 years and a sign has been up stating such and the owner of the bungalow has not contacted him concerning buying it. Mr. Mattson stated he could call the owners again and ask them if they would be interzsted in buying the land. 1�ATION by Sondheimer to table this request until the May 25, 1971 meeting to allow the applicant tune to contact the property owners of both the lst and 2nd double bungalow (5600-02 6th Street and 5606-08 6th Street) and ask them if they would be willing to buy the land. If they don't accept the offer to buy the land, the applicant furnish a site plan so that the Board can see the relationship of the house to the lot. Seconded by Ahonen.

Seconded by Harju. Upon a voice vot�m thexe being no a�ys, the motion caxxied unanimously. Mr. Housenga, Area Bngineer, was present to present the request. Mr. Housenga went over briefly what had been discussed at the March 23, 1971 meeting. He also apolQgized to the Board for not being able to make the last 2 �eetings. Mr. Housenga stated that as he understood it, the City has no dt�inite plans to acquire the land for a turning lane which Mr. Bagstad had brou�ht up duxing the Ma.rch 23, 1971 meeting. Mr. Bagstad answered that this was correct. Mr. Housenga stated that if they had the land to spare, they would be very willing to do so. Chairman Minish stated the request had been tabled to allaw the applicant time to draw up plans for a lower height for the sign. Mr. Housenga said they had taken everything into consideration and decided � the least that they could get by with on a sign height would be 40 feet. Otherwise the sign would get tangled up with the highline wires. He continued the present sign is on the public sidewalk and is also to close to the pxoperty lines so it has to come down. The present sign is 7 feet by 10 feet and the proposed sign is 6 feet by 10 feet. The actual square footage is only 53 square feet as th is is an oval sign and this is below what the code requires. The new sign will be a little different in color and wi1], have a slight slant to the letters but there will be no ma.jor changes. The sign at the height of 40 feet will be right below the Phillip's sign and right above the Holly Shopping Centex �ign. 1�OTION by Sondheimer to recomnend to the Council approval of a new free standing sign to be located on part of the N.W. � of the S.W.� of Section 14, to be raised to a total height of 40 feet with the sign being actually 53 squaxe feet and placed in the location just South of the eastern pump.

The Chairman $�dthere if we required only a 5 foot side yard and also required a 14 foot garage, would be room to make a 20 foot garage. He didn't see any reason for providing a larger side yard than necessary so that a doub le garage could be built. Mr. Fitzpatrick felt the additional 11 feet allowed for a garage was fine when thinking of a single garage. It seems now it is a common thing for a garage to be built with a family room added on behind the garage or on top. MOTION by Minish seconded by Fitzpatrick, that the Planning Commi.ssion recommend to Council that this ordinance be considered for publication with the provision that the 15 foot side yard sea��ached garaqerbeechangedttohanteleven of the construction of a single fam�.ly (11') foot side yard setback to allow the house to be built with a forty foot frontaqe. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. 4.

Rlanning Comtnission Meeting - April 21, 1971 Page 5 ^ Mr. Minish called attention to the Western Oil aign. He said that one of the conditions of the sign permit was not to put up any temporary signs, such as price war. A month or so after opening, all temporary signs were back. This points out the need for control. It was agreed there was a problem of enforcing the ordinance. Mr. Minish asked if a survey could be made of the number of stations and how many were in violation of the ordinance. Peter Herlofsky in- formed the Commission that the Building Inspection Department makes inspections regularly and records the results in the appropriate file. � a Mr. Lowell Ridgeway, a member of the Minnesota Petroleum Council, stated that the oil companies frown very heavily upon rental and car sales. They accept the need for light automotive work, but heavy body work and heavy motor overhaul is discouraged. . Mr. Ridgeway continued they were currently working with the City of Minneapolis and St. Louis Park. He felt their Committee would welcome the opportunity to set down with the Planning Commission and try to work out some of the problems discussed this evening. The members of the Minnesota Petroleum Council are aware of these problems and want to help communities solve them. Mr. Schmedeke stated he was in an area where they called it gasoline alley. Because of the way this area has developed, he felt the City should have some restrictions where we should allow a gas station to be built and how many. Chairman Erickson felt part of the policy should be that the applicant for a gas station should have a reasonable request or proof it was necessary for a station in that location. The Planning Comtnission continued "The Policy Regarding Future Develop- ment of Gas Stations" until the next meeting. 5. PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION WITH PLANNIHG COMMISSION REGARDING THE ELEMENTS AND PROCESS OF WMPREHENSIVE PLANS FOR THE CITY: The Planning Commission tabled until further notice the "Pxeliminary Discuasion of Comprehensive Plans for the City". 6. REVIEW AND REEVALUATIUN OF EXISTING PLANNING NORTH OF OSBORNE ROAD AND WEST OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE T� CITY LIMITS: �'he Plats & Subdiviaions-Streets & Utilities Subcommiittee reviewed this problem and Darrel Clark again discussed the problem. The area is bounded by 85th Avenue on the North, Osborne Avenue on the South, East River Road on the West and University Avenue on the East. The Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utllities Subcomanittee considered establishing signsl lights, railroad crossovers and traffic patterns. He continued that the Subco�¢ai.ttee recammended the crossing at 85th ^ Avenue remain. When it reaches East River Road, the crossing should loop up to connect with 85th Lane in Coon Rapids. 83rd Avenue should be a crossover and when it gets to East River Road, the loop should be dawn to Janeaville St�ceet. 79th Avenue should be a new crossover, and when it�is put in, 77th Avenue should be con�idexed fqF possible removal. There was a discuasion when ^ �.�j: .� � �lanning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1971 Page 9, Mrs. Eleanor Phillips said she was wondering if the Commission felt there might be a problem in the future. Could the problem be met without an ordin- ance? Chairman Erickson said he would have to disagree with the type of ordin- ance that attempts to establish the number of stalls according to the valuation of the house. An ordinance is an attempt to protect. Public transportation would help solve the problem of a family needing two or three car garages. He had expressed his opinion as being much opposed to the ordinance on a number of grounds. A man has the right to live in a house of his own choosing and this applies as to whether or not he wants a single family garage. He realized it can be a problem buildi.ng on a garage later on. Our ordinance probably should make some condition for expansion to accommodate a garage later on. Perhaps a 13 foot sideyard would do it. He was definitely opposed to the proposed ordinance as it was now �aritten. � Mr. David Paulson said that Apple Valley garage ordinance reads a garage could not cover more than 30% of the size of the house. If you are on a small lot, and have room for one garage, you would have to live with that. There are a number of alternates, such as limiting the size of the garage. Economics will generally determine a one or two garage. If a man wants to build a house without a garage, he should be able to do so. MOTION by Minish, seconded by Zeglen, that the PZanninq Commission recom- ^ mend to Council that the Ordinance Amending 5ection 45.055 relatinq to garage �" requirements in the R-1 District and Section 45.065 relating to garaqe require- ments in the R-2 District NOT be adopted. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanir�ously. 3. REVIEW AND FORMUTATION OF POLICY REGARDING FUTURE DEVELOPMENT OF GAS STATIONS: Nasim Qureshi told the Commission that there has been a large increase in the number of gas stations in the City.of Fridley. In the last five years, the number of gas stations have doubled. Since November, 1969, the last change in the ordinance regarding gas stations (Ord. No. 419), a special use permit was required to construct a gas station in C-1 and C-2 and M-1 and M-2 Districts. Since its adoption there have been three or four requests for gas stati.ons. City has gone along with it. He would like to see if the City wants to set a � policy stating how many more stations the City should fiave and where they should be allowed. You don't have to give them a permit if you feel it was not for the betterment of the area. In Brooklyn Park a special use permit was required, the Council denied it, � the petitioner went to court and the court upheld the decision. Fridley has 22 basically gas stations, 5 car washes and pumps, 6 grocery type, making a total of 33 gas stations for a population of 30,000. Also, does City want � four gas stations on four corners of an intersection? � . _. _ . . The question before the Commission is whether or not there is the need for additional gas stations. The area we are concerned with naca is North of Osborne Road. How many �as stations do we need and how far apart? Should another type of development be enr_ouragecl? The service road loopb acks are really large enough to develop other types of facilities, but they are especiall:: attractive for gas stations. ��w Planning Commission Meeting - March 17, 1971 Page 10 ^ Chairman Erickson had �nother thought for the Commission -- was that type of service road detachment a reasonable approach to the intersections? The City Engineer indicated that he would like to discourage service roads ' along the highway and would like the roads to be set back 300 feet away from the highway to service the properties along the highway. The Planning Commission decided to continue without motion the Review and Formulation of Policy Regarding Future Development of Gas Stations to the April 21, 1971 meeting. 4. PRELIMINARY DISCUSSION �dITH PLANNING COMMISSION REGARDING ELEMENTS AND PROCESS OF COl`� REHENSIVE PLANS FOR THE CITY: The City Engineer explained that the City adopted a comprehensive zoning map in 1956 and over the years we have changed zoning, road patterns, crossings, etc. What comprehensive planning cloes is putting all this information together, what we have done before and what we are going to,do in the future. The exist- ing zoning ordinance is what we have done. You have approved plats and rezonings. We have tried to put all these pieces together and show you what has happened and what we are to do now. Any kind of Federal grant requires a comprehensive plan. This plan does not mean a new zoning map, but it gives the City a direc- tion for future planning and development. ^ A colored Zoning Map with existing Land Use was studied. Mr. Qureshi ex- - plained that sometimes the property is used for something other than basic use allowed under the zoning district. He pointed out the areas remaining which will require further studying. If a developer is interested in commer- cial, he can be told where it is. The Planning Commission decided to continue without motion the Preliminary Discussion with the Planning Commission Regarding Elements and Proces� of Comprehensive Plans for the City until the April 21, 1971 meeting. 5. REVIEW AND REEVALUATION OF EXISTIIVG PLANNING NORTH OF OSBORNE ROAD AND WEST OF UNIVERSITY AVENUE TO CITY LIMITS: • Mr. Qureshi said that the purpose of this presentation is to review the past planning done in this area, especially regarding road patterns, railroad � crossings and zoning. The Planning Commission has recommended rezoning an area along University Avenue from M-2 to C-2. Part of the area has already developed into a small piece of commercial. The time of strip commercial zoning is gone. Now you have to have large commercial areas. The people tend to go to large commercial centers. , Crossovers and Signals: As far as we are concerned, we would like to ' .get away from service roads. J ^ '-" " Mr. Schmedeke felt the loopbacks should be made larger so that it would encourage other types of business, instead of gas stations, to go in there. He said that most filling stations have autos for sale. Referring to his copy of the Dealer's Guide of the State of �Sinnesota, it is unlawful to engage in selling cars without a dealer's license.
