Mr. Boardman stated that the Planning Commission should note on page 29 of the
agenda that there are presently streets. One street was vacated and all of
the alleys are vacated except for Block 9. All of the rest of the streets
are non-vacated. Because of the City Council's policy, they can vacate alleys
but they cannot vacate streets. This request is from Minneapolis Water Works.

4. RECEIVE P�lEDTRONIC EPIVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT WORKSHEET:
Mr. Boardman stated that Staff has reviewed this document but found that the
creosote problem was not mentioned to any extent ��uithin the document itself.
At the City Council meeting on Monday, October 6, th.e City Council agreed to
have a letter go along with the document when the document is received by the
Environmental Quality Board (EQB). This letter states that the Pol]u�tion
Control Agency (PCA) has reviewed the cv�eosote problem, and if the PCA approves
it, the Gity of Fridley will �o along with the PCA's recommendati.ons.
Mr. Harris stated he alould like the following two pieces of information
included as part of the record: (1) "Pentachlorophenol"; (2) "Review of
Creosote Use �n Natural Waters"
Mr. Svanda state� he had reviewed the Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EaS);
and, as Staff had mentioned, there was no mantion of the creosote situation.
He felt that one of the purposes of an EAS is to pull all pieces 'co�ether as
far as potential environmental concerns. �
�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, OCTOBER 8, 1980 PAGE 3
�� Mr. Svanda stated he thought the EAS was a good document except for the fact
that no mention was made of the creosote problem, and he felt there were a
number of places where it could have been addressed. One example was on page 21
under "Other Environmental Concerns".
Mr. Svanda stated he had attended the City Council meeting on October 6 and
made a presentation to the City Council as a citizen of the City. Following
his presentation to the City Council, they entered into a discussion about the
creosote problem. Following that discussion, the City Council decided to
include the transmittal letter with the docume�t. He stated he was satisfied
with the letter approach by the City Council.
Mr. Harris stated his real cancern is with the previous use of the dump pit
which is very close to the Rice Creek bank, and he could not help believing that
there is probably a danger or hazard from the previous use of the dump pit. He
felt someone should get a handle on Rice Creek and find out if the thing daes f�ave
some PCP's. He felt there is a real lack of information as to whether there is
a health hazard over there. He stated he is very concerned about pentachlorophenol
which is a very dangerous chemical.
(Mr. Oquist arrived at therr�eting at 8:03 p.m.)
Ms. Hughes stated the proble�n with creosote and pentachlorophenol is what the
" decomposition products are, which are highly d�angerous. It is not the ppnta-
^ chlorophenol that is the problem, but th�? d�crnnpositio� �roducts. There �ori7d
be a real problem at the drainage pi�t by the Creek,
Mr. Harris asked what action was necessary by the Plann�ing Commission on this
document.
Mr. Boardman stated that the EAW was for the expansion of Medtronics. He
stated the Planning Corrunission had already made recommendations after their
initial meeting. These recommendations were taken into consideration and
went before the City Counci] on October 6, He stated that no further action
was necessary by the Planning Cormnission unless they felt some issues were
missed or needed further consideration.
Ms. Hughes stated the only place those things would be effective would be at
the PCA Board meeting on October 28.
