PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 4 1981 PAGE 2
Mr. Boardman stated this special use permit is being brought back to the Planning
Commission because of the change of operation on the property. In the April 6, 1977,
P�anning Commission minutes, it stated that a special use permit was granted for
a period of three years. Mr. Boardman stated this period was up last year, but
with the change in operation, he wanted to bring it back to the Planning
Commission. He stated City Staff has looked at the site, and there are some
prob]ems that need correcting: clean-up at the back of the property, screening
of an LP tank, screening of the refuse container, maintenance of the hard surface
area, and maintaining parking 5 ft, off the structure.
Mr. Boardman stated that, generally, the special use permit has been complied
with, but there are some things that Staff found were not in compliance. One
was that the parking lot was not striped, and according to the landscaping plan,
there was a requirement for landscaping down the side at the time the permit
was approved, and that has not been done.
Mr. Boardman stated the new operator is in the audience if there are any
questions.
Mr. Bruce Hay, _ 39 North Oakes Rd., St. Paul, stated he is one of the operators
of the operation, Suburban Homes, Inc., which is now leasing the lot from �,
Mr. Jack Maxwell, who is the owner of the property. He stated they are licensed
under the State of Minnesota as a mobile home dealer and 7ease and operate a
mobile home sales lot on Mr. Maxwell's property.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Maxwell if he was aware of the stipulations placed on the
special use permit back in 1977.
Mr. Jack Maxwell, 3205 Silver Lake Road, stated he was not aware of the screening,
but he was aware of the landscaping. He stated that prior to the time pf the
approval of the special use permit, a�pmber of the City Staff came out and
looked at the property and said the landscaping had not been done because it was
snpposed to be greenery and crushed rock had been placed instead. There was a
discussion at that point that the crushed rock was there primarily because they
bring mobile homes through there, and greenery would have to be continually
replaced, while the crushed rock can be put back to good appearance with a mini-
mum of expense. At that time, the city inspectors said that the crushed rock
was very attractive and was done in a high, pleasing manner, Mr. Maxwell stated
they have attempted to keep it that way. He stated he cou]d not speak for the
trash in the back as he has not been back there.
Mr. �ay stated �hat as leasees of the lot, they feel it is probably one of
the most attractive lots, as it now stands, in the whole City of Minneapolis.
It is well landscaped, has a nice sign, and they are very happy with it.
Mr. Boardman stated he has no problem with the front landscaping, but in the .-�
landscaping plan submitted to the City, it showed screening down the side, �
which has not been done.

Mr. Dave Harris, 470 Rice Creek Blvd. N.E., stated he knows both Mr. Maxwell
and Mr. Hague quite well. He stated Mr. Maxwell has always tried to maintain
a nice attractive sales lot. As the adjoining property owner, he is convinced
that Suburban Homes, Inc., will continue to run a good sales lot.

SP #81-10 BY SUBURBAN HOMES, INC.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE PUBLIC HEARIIVG
CLOSED AT 7:47 P.M.
Mr. Dave Harris stated that, as he had mentioned earlier. as the adjoining
property owner to the north, he has no problems with the mobile home sales lot
as it is now, but he felt it might eliminate some problems later on when
the property is developed to the north if some type of screening fence would be
put in along the north boundary of the lot. He stated that if this is a stipu-
lation in the approva7 of the special use permit, he would be willing to share
equa7ly in the cost of that fence.
Mr. Boardman �tated that in a discussion with Strite-Anderson, they have expressed
concern because some filling has been done in the back of Mr. Maxwell's lot.
This filling has created some run-off problems. They indicated there is a drainage
system along the northern part of Strite-Anderson, and there is supposed to be a
catch basin, but that catch basin has been filled over causing some drainage
problems in the back area. Mr. Boardman stated this drainage problem and a
so7ution should be discussed and worked out with the City Engineer before the
special use permit goes to City Council.

#81-05 BY DAVID HARRIS.
UPON A VOICE VOTE� ALL VOTING AYE� CHAIRMAN HARRIS DECLARED THE POBLIC HEARING
OPEIVED AT 8:03 P.M.
Mr. Boardman stated the City is in the process of setting up another tax increment
district which includes Mr. Dave Harris' property. This tax increment district
will come before the Planning Commission at their next meeting.
Mr. Boardman stated the tax increment district is being established according to
State Law, Chapter 273, with justification based on soil conditions which is a
blighted condition. He stated they have soil borings on the site and the soils
are very bad. There is up to 25 ft. of peat in some areas, and there are also
a lot of drainage problems. For this reason, the City Manager requested Staff
to put together a tax increment district package for the Housing & Redevelopment
Authority. The Housing & Redevelopment Authority is presently working on this
district. The tax increment district will come to the Planning Commission on
Nov. 18, there will be a Housing & Redeve7opment Authority public hearing on
Nov. 19, and a public hearing before City Council on Nov. 23.
Mr. Boardman stated that as a part of that tax increment district. Mr. Harris'
proposal is also being submitted for rezoning for residential. He stated the
City Council and the Planning Corr�nission have had discussions about where housing
could be developed in the City. This area is located just east of Springbrook
Nature Center and is one of the areas designated in the Comprehensive Plan as a
potential housing area. At this time, Staff would support the development of
this project with a few stipulations: (1) a 15 ft, bikeway easement along the
west boundary of the property for the access of a bikeway along Main St. to the
nature center area; (2) rezoning be based strictly on the building permit appli-
cation; (3) 33 ft. street easement across the north portion of the property;
and (4) recreation be provided for the residents of the complex.
�
,�
Mr. Boardman stated this would be a 360-unit apartment complex and meets all code
requirements. He stated Mr. Dave Harris will probably be applying for a street
vacation of Main St. along Springbrook Nature Center. That st�reet vacation is
satisfactory to the City, and application will be a separate process. With the �
street vacation, there will be adequate land to handle the 360 units. _
,�
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 4 1981 PAGE 5
Ms. Gabel asked what market these rental units will address.
Mr. Dave Harris stated they propose to provide market rate financing rental units.
W�thin that framework, they are operating under Subchapter 8 which requires them
to provide 20% for low and moderate income housing. He thought that was the
justification to meet the requirements for the City as required by Metropolitan
Council and the Minnesota Housing Board and the justification for a tax increment
district. Because of this, he did not want the Planning Cor�nission members to
feel that the quality of the structure would be reduced, These are going to be
very nice, attractive apartment units.
Mr. Kondrick asked how many 3-bedroom units there would be.
Mr. Dave Harris stated he would roughly estimate that 60% would be 2-bedroom,
30% would be 1-bedroom, and 10% would be 3-bedroom. �
Mr, Boardman stated the City is presently processing a housing mortgage plan
through the Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. The federal government has cut off
the single housing program, but they have left open the ability to sell housing
mortgage bonds for multi-family housing. It is the same thing as industrial
�.-1 revenue bonds, only they are called housing mortgage bonds. They are tax exempt
bonds and; therefore, the mortgage rates are lower income. He stated this plan
goes to City Council on Dec. 7. He stated that as soon as the plan is completed,
he will get copies to the Planning Commission members so they can discuss it in
depth at their next meeting.
Mr. Saba asked if the units would be set up so the residents would pay their own
utilities or would the owner pay the uti]ities and reflect it in the rent?
Mr. Dave Harris stated he thought each unit will have its own service; that was
the fairest and most equitable way. He stated they are required by law to build
an energy efficient building. He stated he would guess these units will probably
heat per square foot for less than almost any house in the city.
Mr. Saba stated the Energy Commission would like to see these new commercial
developments and apartment complexes serve as a model for energy efficiency, if
at all possible.
Ms. van Dan stated that from the Human Resources Commission standpoint, they are
always interested in seeing more apartments for the handicapped. Wou1d Mr. Harris
consider including any apartments for the handicapped?
Mr. Dave Harris stated they cannot and will not discriminate against anyone.
They will provide the necessary facilities under the ordinance to facilitate
the handicapped. He stated that, unfortunately, they are dealing with difficult
,� soils which will require them to put a portion of the buildings out of the
' ground because of the high water table. It will require them to do some different
things with the buildings. Depending upon the contours, it is possible that
some of the first floor units could be designed for the handicapped, but probably
not any on the second or third floors.

PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 4, 1981 PAGE 6

Mr. Kondrick asked when Mr. Harris would anticipate starting on the project if
he receives approval from the Planning Commission and City Council.
Mr.. Dave•Harris stated he would like to start next spring. He stated it does
take more to put the project together than just the rezoning and approval. It
is a very difficult financing market. Unless they are able to get the tax
increment district in there and some financial help, this project will not be
built here or anywhere else in the metropolitan area.
Mr. Ralph Virgills of Raffaele's Supper Club stated he is very much in favor
of this project. The area does not look good the way it is now.
Mr. Dick Harris stated that if they are going to be putting this area into a
tax increment district, perhaps they shou]d take a look at the zoning in the
entire area. He stated he has not seen the soil tests on Mr. Dave Harris' land,
but from the soil tests he has seen, he felt it would be virtually impossible to
develop that land as M-2 warehousing as they know it.
Mr. Boardman stated he thought it was something the Planning Commission should
take a look at. If industrial does go in, they would .probably have to look at
a different type of industrial development. He was not even sure it was possible.
He stated the City is looking at trying to so7ve the drainage problem �,
in some of the areas where the worst soil is. They are looking at the possibility
of using the worst soil areas for ponding and retention and directing most of
the water into the Springbrook Nature Center area and creating some type of dam
structure in the Springbrook Nature Center area.
Mr. Dick Harris stated he thought they should get an engineering study of the
whole area on both the surface drainage and the groundwater situation. The
ground water situation may even be more critical than the surface drainage. If
stated that if they are going to set this up as a tax increment district, they
have to look at the whole area and solve the problem as an area, rather than on
a piecemeal on-site basis.
Mr. Boardman stated that is one of the purposes for setting up the area as a
tax increment district.

SUMAN RESOURCES COMMIS520N MINUTES.
Ms. van Dan stated the Planning Commission members had a copy of the work plan ^
for the Human Resources Commission. One area the work p]an addresses that also �'
seems to be a problem for some of the other commissions is"communications".
Mr. Boardman stated that because "communications" is a goal for just about every
one of the member commissions, the Planning Commission may want to look at it
on the Planning Commission level, rather than at each individua] commission.
If they decide each individual commission should look at it, then all of the
comnissions should at least look at something similar. He stated Ms. Cayan had
put together a 3-pronged approach to a"Communications Plan", which may be a
workable plan for each of�the commissions.
Mr. Boardman stated that the member comnissions have decided that one of the
ways of working with the City Council in specific areas with specific activities
within the City is to put together a work plan, At the end of each year, that
work plan will be forma�ized by the commissions and submitted to the City Council
to inform the City Coun�cil what each commission's work plan is for the next year.
At that time, the City Council can express concerns or give direction.
Mr. Boardman stated he feels the preparation of the work plan does two things:
(1) It acquaints the City Council with what the commissions are working on or
what direction the commissions are planning on going; and (2) it allows the
City Council to respond back to the commissions on those directions.
Mr. Boardman stated it also helps Staff in the direction of the cor�nissions,
because they now know what the commissions wish to do and can channel staff time
toward that direction. �

ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY COMMIS5ION MINUTES.
Mr. Svanda stated the main discussion at the meeting was centered around trying
to get some kind of recycling effort started in the City of Fridley, going
beyond what SORT already has. They formulated a project committee and at the
project committee meeting on Oct. 19, they discussed trying to get the -
garbage haulers who service the City of Fridley to a meeting to discuss with
the haulers their views on source separation at the curb, in an effort to
branch out from the experimental curb-side pickup that SORT is having in four
neighborhoods.
Mr. Svanda stated they also discussed recycling oil. Apparently, the City is
^ considering digging up one of the empty fuel tanks from the old Standard Station
and burying it by the SORT facility for people to dump their used oil.
PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING, NOVEMBER 4, 1981 PAGE 10
�
Mr. Harris stated the old Phil]ips 66 Station has an oil sump for used oil. It
is possib7e that the City could get that tank from Phillips 66,
Mr. Svanda stated that recyc]ing is going to be the Environmental Quality
Commission's major project and their major goal.
