The public hearing was opened at 8:06 P,M, Mr. Boardman explained that the requested double bungalow would be Zocated across the street from an a2ready approved double bungalovu that would be built by Mr. Sherwood Jordahl. Mr. Thomas Brickner of 1401 Kerry Lane said that building a doubZe bungalozv wouZd be tke best use of that piece o£ property on that lot from the standpoint that the lot was located on Rice Creek Road. He said that he had had a lot of interest sho�un for the construction of a double bunga2ov�. Mr. Brickner showed the Planning Commission the plans he had for the proposed double bungalocr that he �aould like to build. He said that the structure would face Rice Creek Road. He said that it r�ould be a two-story type structure with double garages on each end. Chairperson Harris asked what the estimated cost for the double bungalow would be. Mr. Brickner said that the cost would be in the $100,000 bracket. He said that the double bungalosv would be owner occupied, He said that there were many requests for double bungaloMS being made available in that area. Mr. Bergman asked if he was building the doui�le bunga3ow on speculation. Mr. Brickner said that it was speEUlative. He felt that the City of Fridley needed more doub2e bungalocv type dwellings, He said when there was a nice looking building in that price range scattered throughout the City on the more busy streets� it would be making the best use possible for those particu2ar lots. He also said that that type of construction arould actually increase the value of some o£ the homes in the area. Chairperson Harris asked if he wauld be 2iving in the double bungalow.

He felt that an owner-occupied double bungalow was most probable. Chairperson Harris asked about the lot size. �� � Mr. Boardman said that as long as the lot mas at least 10?000 square feet there nould be no problems. He said that no variances rrould be required for the planned double bungalow� Ms. Schnabel said that she was concerned by having the rental property in the middle of an R-1 neighborhood. She was a3.so concerned af the fact that the double bungalorr �ould be built on sgeculation but that Mr. Brickner had said that it Would be otivner-occupied. She wondered how that statement could be made. Mr. Brickner and not live investment. said that if someone would buy the building in it� that person would lose money on his Mr. Mike Togli of 6275 Kerry Lane NE said that it t�rould be possible that someone could buy the double bungaZotiv and rent out both sides and use the investment as a tax �rrite-off. Mr. Brickner said that ihat type of tax shelter has been �'tightened up'� a lot in recent years� He said that the amount of money that srould be required to pay dovrn on his proposed double bungalow would make it almost impossible to have someone buy the property and not live in it. There tivas some discussion'regarding the surrounding dwellings in the area, Mr. Togli asked when Mr. Bricirner had applied for the Special IIse Permit and �vhen he had decided that a double bungalow v�ould be the best use of the property� Mr. Briclrner said that he had applied for the Special Use Permit a few weeks ago. He said that from the time he bought the lot he had had the idea that a double bungalonr would be good on the lot. Mr, Togli asked when Mr. Brickner would start construction. Mr. Brickner said that it probably wouldn�t be this year. PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING - OCTOBER 19, 1977 � Page 6 Mr. Togli asked how many square feet each unit would be, Chairperson Harris said that each unit would have � approximately 1�200 squre feet of living space. Mr. Togli asked if Mr. Brickner would change his mind on the lot behind the proposed double bungalovr. He said that Mr. Brickner had indicated that he planned to build a single-family dwelling on that other lot. Mr. Brickner saic3 that there was no chance whatsoever he would build anything except a single family dwelling on that lot. He said that the lot was too steep to even consider any type of double dwelling. He said that a tuck-under type of construction would have to be considered for that lot because of the steep grading. Mr. Langenfeld said that the double bungalorr approved for Mr. Jordahl had been given approval based on a financial-type hardship ti��here Mr. Jordahl would reside therein in order to help defray the cost. Mr. Dennis Schneider of 6190 Stinson Blvd (VJard II City Council) explained that tivhen the other approval came across City Council� the primary consideration was that the lot was a large lot vaith several different types of easements that made it impossible to make it into tc�o lots. He indicated that the other lot had many � unusual characteristics such that traffic tkat rvent doevn Kerry Lane, the headlights �rould shine directly into the house. He said that on that proposal, there t�ras two double garages located in the center of the house tha� erould alleviate the headlight problem, He said that the above «as the reasons that the Special Use Permit had been granted by City Council.. - Mr. Schneider said that in the previous Special Use Permit request the City Council had asked the Planning Commission to look at tke Special Use Process as� in effect� a rezoning process, Chairperson Harris said ihat the Planning Commission had heard about the request but explained that the Commission had had a few other things to take care of. Mr. Schneider said that ivhat the Specia2 Use Permit process was actually allorring was a spot rezoning. He said that in the previous case, he had talked to many of the neighbors and he said there had been about a 50-54 split. Ae said that some of the people ivere totally set against it� some elere basical.ly middle of the road� and some had very positive reaction to it. �J PLANNING COMMIaSION MEL"fIP1G - OCTOB�R 19, 1,�? Page 7 . Mr. Schneider said that with the fir�t request he had originally planned to vote against the approval. He said that after being made arrare of the many easement S requirements and the traffic problem and also the split survey of the neighbors, he decided that it would be the best use of the lot to grant the Special Use Permit. He said that he rras not prepared to make any type of judgment on the particular case ivith Mr. Brickner. He said that he did share in the concern that Ms. Schnabel had expressed regarding the double bungalow in the middle of an R-1 zone. Ms. Schnabel asked if Mr. Brickner had given any thought of building a single-family dwelling on that particular piece of property� Mr. Brickner said that he had only owned the lot for a short time but no one had ever approached him to c�anting a single-family de�elling built on the lot. He said that he had suggested the lot to several people, but no one had been interested in it because of the lot being right on Rice Creek Road. He said that he felt there vaas much demand for nice-looking double bungalo��rs in that area. Ms. Schnabel asked why Mr. Brickner had asked for a Special Use Permit rather than asking for a rezoning. Mr. Brickner said that it didn�t really make any difference � ho�v it vras done to him. Ae said that Mr. Holden had told him that a Special Use Permit was the best nray to oo. Mr. Langenfeld pointed out that this type of Speci� Use Permit required a y./5 vote by City Council.

Mr. Langenfeld asked if there was any problems v�ith the easements on the lot. Mr. Boardman said that there would be no easement problems. � �� �LANNING COMMISSION ME�TING - OCTQBER 19 149Z � Pa�e 8 Chairperson Harris said that the vote on the previous request for a Special Use Permit by Mr. Jordahl had been a split vote by the Planning Commission. �Mr. Harris �; indicated that he had voted against it at that time and that he would also vote no on this request.. He said that a double bungalorr was not a proper use for that Iot that s was in and totally surrounded by R-1 zonings. He said " that there tiras nerr7.y built homes in the area and that the lot in question rlould not be an unsaleable lot. Mr. Harris said that he had taken the opportunity to visit Mr. Brickner�s ne3ghbors attd for the most part� they did not feel that a double bungalovr would benefit the neighborhood. Ms. Schnabel said that she also intended to vote against the request and pointed out that had she been at the meeting for the previous request, she vJOUld have also voted against that one. She said that it vJas not a prcper use of �he lot in an R-1 zoning and she felt it was a tendancy to spot zone. She said that the Fieather Hills area is a11 nerr construction and she felt that a single family dti�ielling consistent i�ith the neighborhood should be placed on that lot. Chairperson Harris said that Mr. Brickner does a fine job of building. He builds a quality house and he ti�ras most impressed with his structures. He complir�ented Mr. Brickner on his efforts in the Heather Hills area. Mr. Brickner said that from the conversation that the • best use of the property ivould be to build a minimnn sized house on that property. He saifl that if he could build a house in the right price range� ha felt he could probably sell it. He said that he couldn't build the qual,ity of house that he vrould like. He said that he would probably want to build a house in the $l�0�000 price range. Chairperson Harris explained to Mr. Brickner that ke still had the right af appeal to City Counci2. He said that the PZanning Commission only makes recommendations to City Council� He said that City Council did have the final note, Chairperson Harris took an informal poll of the Planning Commiasion. They all indicated negative. Mr. Brickner requested the vrithdra�val of the request. He said that from the conversation, obviously the Commission was agaznst the double bunga2otv and he did not tivish to persue the issue further� � •w - PLliNNING COMMISSION MErTING - OCTOBER 19. 1977 ' Pa�e 9 Mr. Thomas Brickner ��ithdrevr the request for a Special Use � Permit� SP #77-14; Per Fridley City Code, Section 205.051� 3�D� to alloi� the construction of a double bungalo�v in R-1 zoning (single family drlelling areas), on Lot 1, Block 1, Heather Hills, the same being 1430-1�32 Rice Creek Road NE. a � Mr. Bergman made the observation that out of 14 property otirners that had been invited� only one showed up at the Public Hearing. Mr. Togli said that he had never been contacted by anyone with either of the Special Use Permits as to rrhether he was for or against it. Chairperson Harris said that he had gone to some of the neighbors� but that he did noi contact all the neighbors. "" Mr. Bergman felt awkt��ard rrith the situation. He said that Mr. Brickner had polled the neighbors and thai he had received little opposition; then he said that Mr, Harris talked to neighbors, and they L�ere very much opposed; and he said that Mr. Schneider had talked to neighbors and there had been a 50-50 split. Mr. Bergman said that ti�rith all the di£ferent discussions with the neighbors and then none of the people talked to had shorrn up at the Public Hearing. Mr. Togli said that rrith that many ��polls�+ and he still had never been contacted by anyone: Ms. Schnabel said that people �vere very reluctant tivhen they are an adjacent neighbos to come and publically say how they really feel, even v�hen they are opposed to an idea� because ihat neighbor has to live.in that neighborhood. She said �hat possibly many of the people were personal friends of the Brickner�s and they rrere reluctant to say something against the double bunga].otiv because they have to live vrith him as a nei�hbor too. Mr. Togli was concerned about the term t�spot rezoning�'. Chairperson Harris e�cplained that it vras allowed in the Code that an R-2 (double bungalotiv or duplex) be built in an R-1 lot �vith a Special Use Permit� providing that the minimum square footage of the lot was 10�000 square feet or more and has 4/5 vote of City Council. Dir. Togli asked if many were granted. He asked if there was a lot of spot rezoning allorred in the City of Fridley. Mr. Boardman said that there have been about six requests over the past few months; but that onZy one had gone through and that was the one at 1!}!}1 Rice Creek Road. �� PLANNING COt4FIISSION ML"GTING - OCTOB�R 19 19?7 Pa�e 10 3.

Fridley did have a culture and it should stimulate public interest Mr. Leek referred to Page 23, Objective 2, Recoumiendations �kl and ¢2. He stated those two recommendations had alxeady been inserted by the Parks & Recreation Conmiission. Ms. Sporre withdrew her motion. The Commission members agreed to continue reviewing the document page by page as they had done at previous meetings, beginning with page 17. Ms. Metcalf recommended on Page 17 that each "Finding" be indented and possibly single spaced for better readability. The Commission concurred. Ms. Metcalf also recommended that the first two "Findings" at the top of Page 17 be condensed into one paragraph as they essentially said the same thing. The Commission concurred. Ms. Sporre asked for clarification on the third "Finding" on Page 17: "Some of the City's parks do not contribute to the total park system," T3r. Leek stated that examples were Innsbr.uck Park, Riversedga iaay, the East River Road property (a piece of property that was no longer a vark but was at the time), and also Burling�on Northern Park--parks that, although used, were not used by a significant enough portion of the population to justify maintaining them, and it would be best to find other facilities Co sertice those neughborhoods. Ms.Metcalf stated that "Finding" should be reworded to be more specific. The Cormmission concurred to have the third "Finding" reworded as follows; "Some of the City's parks do not provide neighborhood recreational needs." Ms. Sporre expressed her concern that energy conservation and energy saving devices were not a major consideration in the plan. The City's facilities wexe not energy efficient. She stated she would like the following "Finding" to be inserted in the Plan; "Conservation of energy and protection of facilities from vandalism through such practices as earth shelter buildings are not presently being used." The Co�ission agreed to insert this "Finding" at the bottom of Page 17, under Objective 2. Ms. Metcalf stated she did not like the "Finding" on Page 17 which stated thae; "Fridley's parks lack attractiveness and character, which would enhance enjoyment of them." She stated that this was not true of all of gridley's parks. �� � _.. � FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL C�IISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 4 The Co�ission agreed that this "Finding" be reworded to read: "Some of Fridley's parks lack attractiveness and character." The words, "which would enhance enjoyment of them"Were deleted. Ms. Sporre stated that in the fifth "Finding", page 18, Objective 4, she felt it was not appropriate for "nature study enthusiasts" to be included as an example of special groups witfiin the coamiunity. The Commission members agreed to delete "nature study enthusiasts��. Ms. Sporre asked the xeason for the last "Finding" under Objective 4: "There is a need for parks and recreation department policy guidelines," Mr. Leek stated that in looking at the Parks & Recreation Department, they found the Department needed some set of guidelines set up by them on what they were doing for the city to provide policies on setting up the programs they offered, which were not within the scope of this document, Ms. Sporre stated that one "Finding" said, "The City's recreation program does not reflect a wide range of activities for residents." If this was consistent, then it should say, "There is a lack of policy guidelines addressing staff requirements and program review," Dlr. Peterson stated.that since the fourth "Finding" and the last "Finding" on Page 18, unde-r Objective 4, were related, perhaps they should be combined. Ms. Metcalf stated that she felt the Parks & Recreation Commission should be concerned with this; it was not really an environmental concern. Mr. Langenield stated that he saw these "Findings" as specific needs and fihey were pointed out as things lacking in the current system plan. He agreed with Ms. Metcalf that at that point.in time, it was not up to this Commission to say what the needs were and be spacific; he definitely saw ft as the parks & Recreation Commission's position to tackle that. But, the Commission could make recommendations if they wished to do so. Ms. Sporre stated that in Objective 5, Page 18, the Plan talked about innovative space management, but it did not seem to address the fact that private enterprise did provide certain recreational services. There ought to be some kind of statement stating that recreational services were being provided by non-governmental sources. The Coomission members concurred that the words, "and private" be inserted in the second "Finding" on Page 19 to read; "There is a need to coordinate regional, county, city, and private areas of park and open space interest to provide adequate recreational areas and natural study areas." Mr. Langenfeld called a five-minute recess aC 9:25 p.m. �, FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL CONAIISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1477 - PAGE 5- ° '" MOTION by Connie Metcalf, that a11 cosm�ents and corrections made by the Environmental Conunission be directed to environmental concerns as implied or stated in the parks & Open Space Plan. Anything else•should be made to the Parks & Recreation Commission. The motion died for lack of a second. Ms. Metcalf stated that any concerns this Commission had on things that were not environmental, they should do so as private citizens outside of the Commission. Mr. Langenfeld stated Chat each Co�ission member was part of the citizenry and should make any comments that person felt necessary. Some concerns might not be hrought to the attention of anyone unless each member, as a citizen, saw a concern and recommended a change. Ms. Metcalf stated she felt that with the other things this Commission had to be concerned with, they shouLd not be so concerned with parks and recreation concerns. There was a parks & Recreation Co�ission for that and the Environmental Commission had a different charge. Ms. SPorxe stated she disagreed with that as she felt fully qualified, because of her involvement in many church, community, and neighborizood activities, to give meaningful input in the overall shaning of the Plan. Ms. Sporre felt that Page 2Q on Criteria was inappropriate in the Plan. She felt it should be deleted an3 that the only useful part of that page was the "Overall Recommendation": "The City should develop criteria for the strategic disbursement of money for park development." She felt the City should work on a set of criteria to be used. The majority of the Commission members agreed to delete Page 20, but that the "Overall Recommendation" be included in the Plan. pn Page 21, Mr. Langenfeld recommended that reference be made to the appropriate park tables in Che Park Classifications A- A. Mr. Leek stated that there had been concurrence by the members at the last meeting that this would be done. On Page 22, the definition of "Regional Park was changed at the August 16, 1477, meeting to read; "An area of natural quality for nature oriented outdoor activities which serves a population larger than the local community. Regional parks usually contain at least 100 acres." On Table 2, "Linear Park/Open Space Concept", the second and third sentences were changed to read; "At least 157 of Che total land area in the city should be retained as an open space system. A linear park/ open space system will provide fresh air, nature areas, rest and recreational opportunities." "For those unable to travel to the country�� was deleted. The Commission concurred with this change. n�,` � �� ~ FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 6 On Table 3, "Regional Park Con�ept", the Commission concurred that this concept should be brought into consistency with the revised definition. Also, the second sentence, "This park should be no less than 100 acres with the recommended standard of 4 acres/1000 people" was deleted. Ms. Sporre stated that on pages 23 and 24, under Objective 2, she would like to recommend that, "Concervation o# energy and protection of facilities from vandalism through such practices as earth shelter buildings should be used." The Commission agreed to make this Recommendation $5 under Objective 2 on Page 24. Ms. Sporre stated that there wasn't anything in the plan about energy conservation or resource conservation in the use of park planning and park designing for areas along the waterways. Mr. Bob Hutchinson from the County Environmental Services had suggested that the city limit the amount of nutrients that would be used on greening up the areas around the beaches and that edges of the lake be left with the natural grasses to filter off the water before it went into the lake. Ms. Sporre said something should be put in the Plan that would address the use of fertilizers in the parks and conservation of natural filter systems along lakes and waterways. Mr. Leek stated that recoumiendation would he more appropriate under Objective 5 on page 28, and the Cou�ission could address it when they reached that page. In the meantime, Mr. Leek would write up a recommenda- tion regarding this and would contact Mr. Iiutchinson and get any recommendations Mr. Hutchinson had. Ms. Sporre asked pfr. Leek if the Commission could get at least one copy of the"Minnesota State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation P1an!' If each �ommission member could not have a copy, then there should be at least one available to the Commissioners, She felt it would be very useful for evaluating and clarifying the Plan. Mr. Leek agreed to see about obtaini� a copy or copies for the Commission. MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to continue discussion on the Parks & Open Space plan at the next meeting. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. CONTINUED: NOISE POLLUTION DISCUSSION: MpTION by Lee Mn Sporre, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to receive the "124 Noise Control" ordinance in preliminary draft form. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. •^e r� FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 7" 1d� Mr. Leek stated that at the last meeting, he had told the Commission he would have the sources used in compiling and paraphrasing the draft. He stated that most of the ordinance was drawn from the Bloomington noise ordinance with the exception of 124.06, '�oise Impact Statements", which were drawn verbatim from the City of Fon du Lac. In Section 124.03, they had adopted by reference the "Minnesota State Regulations (NPC 4), Motor Vehicle Noise Limits". MOTION by Connie Metcalf, seconded by Dave Sabistina, that the Environ- mental Goffinission memhers read the preliminary draft of the "124 Noise Control" ordinance and continue discussion on it at the next meeting. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. Ms. Sporre gave a copy of the "Users Guide to Che Protection of the Environment" to Mr. Leek and Mr. Langenfeld requested that copies be made for the Commission members and PLanning Commission members. RECYCZING PROJECT COMMITTEE REPORT: Ms. Metcalf stated that Mr. Langenfeld had referred names to her of people who were inceresEed in tl�e Env�ronmental Commission, and this had heLped her very much in forming the project committee. She stated that �t *_he Resource Recovery Technology Seminar she had just attended, she was lucky enough to meet two women from Edina, caho were now in the Recycliag Co�ission in Edina and had 6een sLCCessful in getting a recycling center started there. Zn talking with these two women, in working with Ms. Eileen Irwin, and in doing some checking with the Metro Recycling and Paper Company, Ms. Metcalf said they had gotten the background on what had or had not been done for the starting of a recycling center and what the possibilities were at this time. Now they could take this inforu�tion to the first meeting of the Recycling Project Coa�ittee and decide where to go. Both P�. Irwin and Ms. Metcalf were optimistic because of the success in Edina. They would continue to use suggestions and experience from the Edina group to see if they could get a recycling center set up in Fridley. The Project Committee would be exploring the various problems, and one of the main things was to find sources for what was collected, Papers, cans, bottles, etc., could not be collected unless there was a place to dispose of them. They must be sure of the markets £or the products and then they would be successful. Ms. Sporre stated that she was very pleased that Ms. Metcalf was revicing a very pertinent issue that was more relevant today than it ever was. REPORT FROM MS. SPORRE ON ENERY SYt�OSIUPf: Ms. Sporre stated that she had attended the Energy Symposium and found iC much more advanced, much more polished, and much more educational than the last Energy Symposium. It was evident that the Minnesota Energy Agency was growing up and "coming of age". What was mainly talked about was what � n� FRTDLEY ENVIRONMENLAL COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGF. 8 the State of Minnesota was doing in terms of setting energy policies, how they intended to implement these policies, and what they saw as problems to overcome. One oE the areas she felt was pertinent to local planniag was the zoning and land use restrictions that prevented energy conservation from becoming part of the overall planning of the city. She said one of the most interesting speakers told of how he wanted to build a windmill, but all the 1oca1 zoning requirements wouLd not permit that. He struggled with the law and introduced the windmill as a monument in order to get it built. The point the speaker made was that every person who provided for himself was someone who should be thanked because that was someone who eased the'further drain on our resources, and we should be seeking new ways to provide innovative energy conservation management. This year, Ms. Sporre stated, they talked in depth about cost effectiveness, and'studies done by peopte Zike Honeywell £or the Minnesota Energy Agency showed that 72% energy savings could be found by using underground building construction and t'hat space heating and cooling were a major energy waster in the state. So, they were trying to encourage new ways of designing buildings: There again, it was talking about 1oca1 building requirements. At the end of the seminar, Ms. Sporre,stated, it was brought together that the Minnesota Energy Agency was going to pronose to the Senate and Energy and Housing Committee some revisions in 6uilding restrictior.s aad uniform building code so that they were not only prouiding for conservation, but for those people who wanted to use solar passive design and not be taxed for it. The tax structure would be reviewed, the incentives wou13 be reviezaed, and all efforts would be made in the public sector to encourage people to conserve. Ms. gporre stated that they talked in depth about retrofitting. Retro- fi�ting was redesigning for energy conservation in an existing structure. R�rofitting was a possibility in some cases in Fridley. But, the most exciting part was the coming into new design. Ms. Sporre stated she was very much impressed by Thomas Bleigh, Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of Minnesota, who spoke on underground construction. When the Commission's workload was lighter, she said she would like very much to bring in his slide show of what he had established for building underground. She feltit was something the City should be using in city planning in everything they built from now on. gEPORT FROM MS. METCALF ON RESOURGE RECOVERY TECHNOLOGY SEMLNAR: Ms. Metcalf stated that this seminar was put on by the Metro Inter-County Council. She found it extremely interesting, but there were many thin�s that bothered her. The purpose of the workshop was to provide information to city, county, and state management people so they could determine the feasibility of setting up a tesource recovery depot in their particular area. i� � ERIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMh1ISSI0N MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1477 - PAGE 4" "' � Ms. Metcalf stated there were many different kinds of these. Sometimes these refuse deposits were just for burning; others were built in order to use the energy for steam and getting electrical gower. There were quite a few cities in the United States where the residents were 50'/, dependent on refuse burning for electricity. She said one of the speakers threw a"monkey wrench" in her whole reason for being there by saying thaC these systems were not feasible or conceivable in cities where Chere was no municipal waste collecting. So, that made it seem rather hopeless for gridley. Ms. Metcalf stated that the seminar was helpful in that she met the two women from Edina that she had mentioned earlier in her recycling report. The presentation showed a lot of slides of different kinds of refuse buxners. Atter the waste had been separated into paper, ferrous metals, aluminum, and glass, Chen Chese wastes could be sold. Some were burned as a whole and the products sold. She �howed the Comciission members a table which showed the percentage of municipal solid waste; Ferrous Waste - 8% Glass - 10% Papers - 34% Other - 48% Ms. MetcaJ.f stated there were pictures shown of incinerators in Europe and the Euxopeans obviously used waste to its hest advanCage. She thought we had a 1ot to learn in those areas. She stated that the best direction to take in Fridley at this time was to try and r.ecycle what waste they had. They needed to get a recycling center for bottles, cans, newspapers, and for leaf composting. Ms. Sporre stated one of the questions she wanted to add was whether or not the government had a role to play in this area because private business was finding there was money in it. The government ou�ht Co geC into the business before private business did. Ms. Metcalf stated she would like this Commission to make a recommendation to the Metro Inter-County Council that there be a resource center to use sludge from pigs eye as it made an excellent fertilizer. TABLED: MOORE LAKE DISCUSSION: MOTION by Connie Metcalf, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to temove this item from the table. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Che motion carried unanimously. Mr. Leek stated that the Conm�ission wanted to know the state of testing that Hickok & Associates was making on Moore Lake. He stated he had talked to Steve Olson, who was in charge of the project on Che City's end. Mr. Olson had told Mr. Leek that they were still in the process of testing and that Hickok & Associates would be putting together an evaluation of test results and recommendations on that basis within the next month or so. l ��,_ , r'd FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL COMMISSION MEETING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 10 Mr. Leek stated he had a copy of a letter dated February 4, 1977, from Hickok & Associates to Mr. Olson which was written following the original work agreement. It basically said that in accordance with the terms of agreement, work would begin immediately after the agreement was made, which was early in March, and was to be completed a year after that. The final cost for the study was $17,170. Mr. Leek stated that Mr. Olson had proyided him with copies of individual cost breakdowns for test samples, for example, April through October of this year. Easically,the tests were the taking of lake samples, sLorm sewer samples, and lake bottom cores. Ms. Sporre stated she would be interested in knowing the problem sources and -things that could be done. Mr. Leek stated that, according to Mr. Olson, the testing was reaching the point where Hickok & Associates was able to begin putting together the findings they had to this point into a series of conclusions about the state of the'lake and the problem areas and, hopefully, the Commission would have some preliminary indication of that by the end of the year. The finaZ report would come at the end of the contract�year. MOTION by Lee Ann Sporre, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to table further discussion on Moore Lake until a preliminary evaluation report was received from Hickok & Associates. Upon a voice vote, a11 wting aye, the motion carried unanimously. TABLED: EAST RII�ER tZO�D PROSECT COMMITTEE DISCUSSION: This item remained tahled as there was no additional information. OTHER BUSINESS: A. ENVIRONMGNTAL EDUCATION CONSORTIUM: Ms, gporre stated that one of the goals of this Commission was to promote environmental awareness in the City of Fridley and appreciation for the resources of this city. She stated that she had talked to Ms. Joyce Storla, a member of the Minnesota Council on quality Education, about the possibility of developing an environmental education program Eor the city. She asked Ms. Storla to explain to her the kinds of resources available and Ms. Storla had explained that there was a proposal deveLoped and funded by the Minnesota Council on Quality Education that seemed to do the kinds of things Ms. Sporre was talking about --developing an environmental education tool that could be used by the community, teachers, oroanization leaders, and naturalists for usin� canmunity resources. Ms. Storla had provided Ms. Sporre with a copy of one that had been successful. Ms. Sporre thought that it was something that ought to be going on in Fridley and it would accomplish one of the Commission's goals. , ��_ . .� FRIDLEY ENVIRONMENTAL CQNAffSSION MEL+TING OCTOBER 18, 1977 - PAGE 11 Ms. Sporre said she wondered if this Commission would be interested in proposing that kind of progYam. She could see Fridley taking a significant role because of its rich resources, but Chat it really was an education responsibility. The City had naturalists and a parks Department that could draw it together. The Commission could request that the City prepare the proposal using resources of the Department of Natural Resources, Department of Education, and Minnesota Environmental Education Council. The Commission would just be Che agent that brought it together to see that it happened. Mr. Langenfeld stated.that he was interested in the idea, but that it would have to be discussed further. He thought it was an opportunity that should not be discarded. Mr. Sabistina stated that he did not see any way that the Commission had time to spend on this. The C�mission had many other more important things to look at at this time. It would be better Co look at it later on, Ms. Metcalf agreed with Mr. Sabistina. Mr. Leek stated he was a little bit unclear as to the nature of the program and maybe it would be appropriate for Afs. Sporre to put together a synopsis of what she was proposing the city do and how she was proposing it be done, and the steps to he taken by the Commission. '�) MOTION by Dave Sabistina, seconded by Lee [inn Sporre, Chat, as Mr. Leek suggested, Ms. Sporre put together a general outline o£ an environmental education proposal and the implementation of it; and that copies of this pxaposal be provided to the Commission for their review for discussion purposes. Upon a�voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. B. PEOPLES, JOBS, & ENVIRONMENT - Co�unication from Metro C1ean Air Committee Mr. Leek stated that theze was going to be a seminar on "Peoples, Jobs, � Environment" sponsored by the Metro Clean Air Committee about the environment and related economic, employment, and social issues. It was to be held November 5, 1977, at the St. Paul Vocational Technical Institute and the fee was $3. Ite brought this to the Commission's attention in the event any of the members would like to attend. ADJOURNMENT : MOTION by Connie Metcalf, seconded by Dave Sabistina, to adjourn the meeting at 11;55 p.m. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

To conceive of leisure as a problem by itself would be next to meaningless; however, when the trio of leisure time, greater mobility, and increased incane are considered, increased participation in recreational activities is bound to occur. At this point, municipal recreation may well become a vital ingredient in the success or failure forntula for the continued life of this nation's camwnities. Recent national reports have shown an increase in recreational �activities, especially among the people of working age. Tfi s increase in participation and recreation has been sPecially noted in che areas of outdoor recreation. Oth2!' increasing trends can be observed in the growing amount of recreational f.acilities provided by pu6lic and pt^tvaie agencies, the rise in expenditures for outdoor recreation, the in- creased interest in private recreation areas, and the upgrading of planning standards by the federal goverrcient f�or future developments. Cities and towns across the country are feeling the pressures of Papid]y increasing d�nands for recreation opportunities. At the same time, they are finding that their existing park and recreation systems are not adequate to haridle the increased demand. c, f � �� � � • � This fncrease in demand is due in large part to the grovring number of letsure hours available to most of the population because of shorter working hours, earlier retirement and longer life spans. It is also the result of greater population densities in and around the cities and the changing char- acter of the population. This demaad will increase even further because of the energy crisis. — It wiTinot be enough in the future to provide only playgrounds, Parks and Recreation Departments will have to explore new alternatives and provide more recreational oppartunities for their camnunities. Comnunities will continue to find themselves faced with increased demand for recreation services from highly mobile populations living in situa- tions of cultural heterogenity in an age of sophisticated technolog�. (Brauer, 1972� In order ta cope with rapidly changing a�d growing recreation programs, cities will have to develop park and open space systems that are responsive to recreation needs. These systans should provide maximum flexibility fOP use with minimum development and adequate reserve capacity to meet future demands. �� This plan is a supplement to the City's Comprehensive Development Plan and fulfills the Mandatory Planning Act requirements for a park and open space element in the city's comprehensive planning. The plan is an inventory of existing facilities and a guide for future decisions about priorities for acquisition, park development, provision of recreation service. ��I ,1 �' �..� :f Y '.....i�"`t�,�. � � �� � � ��� �� � �.:. � . �r} ;: � � , .�- ;�_�`�"' �. � '-a.� `:/�. .�-� .:�.. .� �� �� i � Open space parka,recreation lands and facilities need to be planned So that the several pieces becane a cohesive whol�.

The magnitude of that importance is an arithmetic progr.ession when:any one peice of park and recreation open space land is an integral part of and canplementary physically and programatically to other park lands. A park system is only as good as the sum total of its canponents, not unlike a highway system. Consider the physical closing of a short segment of I-694 in the spring and its subsequent effect on transprotation when one segment fails. The successful implementation and integrity of any system plan depends on the several factors, but most important are the goals, qbjectives and policies guiding the implementation. The goals provide a direction for the cor�nunity to take in its planning that reflects its values. Objectives provide attainable ends which move the cmmunity closer to its goals. Finally, policies define the means that shall be used to achieve the obiectives. Listed below are the City of Fridley's goals and objectives for Parks, recreation and open space development.

In the urbanized cartnunity, park and recreation areas are not just open spaces - they are improtant elements of land use. The allocation of adequate and suitable areas for recreational use by all age levels of the population is an important element of the city's canprehensive planning. The city's current park system is represneted on Map �1 (following page). COh�1UNITY NEIGHBORHOOOS Thirteen neighborhoods have been disignated by the city to assist in identifying local needs and to create a local identity for the residents.

STATED NARDSHIP: No other land near by available for purchase, and to fit plan �� on the lot variances required. Lot unbuildable without a variance, C. ADMINISTRATIUE STAFF REVIELI: Requests to build on sites such as this in the Riverview Heights area have been common. The site is not located in the flood plain. It appears that there is approximately 4 feet from the East property line to the neighbor's garage. Neighboring front yard setbacks are less than 35 feet. (Please refer to petitioner's survey).

Mr. Daughenbaugh indicated that the front yard setback variance ��ras being requested for a number of reasons. He explained that the nei�hboring garages lvere not set back to the required 35 feet; therefore he wanted the variance to enable his proposed structure to be consistent r�ith the neighborhood. He said that he rrould also like to have more back yard space and there rras tv�o trees in the back yard that raouldn�t have to be removed if the variance ��ras granted. Mr. Daughenbaugh said that the house v�ould be a split entry house, ti��ith tvao bedrooms on the main floor and a possible tti•ro bedrooms in the lo�ver level. Mr. Kemper asked if Mr. Daughenbaugh cras the builder. Mr. Daughenbaugh said that he �ras the o�tner and that he would also be the builder. Mr. Kemper asked if Mr. Daughenbaugh v�ould be living in the proposed house. � Mr. Daughenbaugh said that he rrasn�t sure. He said that his wife eras not entirely convinced that she �vanted to live in that house. He said that there �rould be a possiblity that it v�ould be a speculation; but he said that as far as he knew� they v�ould be living in the house themselves. Mr. Russell Tenney of 725 Kimball Street NE� indicated that he had no objections to the granting of the variances. Chairperson Schnabel questioned the NOTE: that appeared in the Administrative Staff Report that stated that the address may be changed for this lot, r�hen there is an address change for the general area.

Mr. FIolden said that the tti��o lots srere already served �vith se�aer and r�ater� so there vrould be no extra burden in the area. Ptr. Kemper asked if Mr. Daughenbaugh orrned the lots.

Mr. Kemper said that since the property ti��as already served by selver and t�rater� the reduction in the square footage shouZdn't pose any problems. He said that the front yard setback rras probably better at 30 feet than at the 35 foot requirement from the aesthetic standpoint since the other homes in the neighborhood vaere not setback 35 feet.
