Mr. Bolin stated City Code requires a special use permit for commercial recreation uses in an M- 1 zoning district. The properties to the north are for commercial uses also. The property was platted in 1979, and in 1986 the multi-tenant building was constructed. In 1988, the first special use permit was issued to City Billiards to be in this building. In 1989 and 1987 a special use permit was granted also. The tenant put up attractive awnings two years ago. The expansion ^ will increase the area occupied by University Billiards to 36% of the total building. Ninety parking stalls will be required after the expansion.

Existing Zoning: R-1, One Family Residential Location: 6217 Central Ave. Size: 97,846 squaze feet 2.25 acres Existing Land Use: Vacant, 1 home under construction Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N: Single family home & R-1 E: Single fainily home & R-i ^ S: Single family home & R-1 W: Shopping Center & C-3 Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Use of property is consistent with Plan. Zoning Ordinance Conformance: All four proposed lots exceed the City's minimum lot size standard. Zoning History: • 1939 - Lot is originally platted. • 1999 — Area platted into 41ots. Legal Description of Property: Existing: Heather Hills North Proposed: Heather Hills North Plat II Council / 60 Day Action: May 21, 2001 / May 29, 2001 Public Utilities: Located near property. � Transportation: Homes will be accessed from Heather Place. . Physical Chazacteristics: Tree covered, relatively level on the western portion. Slopes, some severe, on the eastern portion of property. SUMNIARY OF REQUEST Petitioner is seeking to create 5 sepazate lots in order to construct 5 single family homes, instead of the 4 initially propose in the 1999 Plat. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of this plat request, with stipulations. • Proposed lots exceed the size standards required by the City of Fridley Zoning Code. • All final grading and drainage plans will meet the approval of City Engineering staff prior to issuance of building permits. (View of Southeast portion of property) StaffReport Prepared by: Paul Bolin PS 01-02 � ANALYSIS - Petitioner is seeking to re-plat the Heather Hills North addition into 5 lots, in order to construct 5 single-family homes. The petitioner had originally platted the Heather Hills North property into 4 single-family home lots in 1999. The new plat, Heather Hills North Addition II simply gives the petitioner an opportunity to provide the City of Fridley with one more housing opportunity. Lacking vast expanses of vacant land, it is vital that the City maximize the use of sites in order to provide new home ownership opportunities in the City of Fridley. The home currently under construction by Kootenia Builders, will meet all setback requirements if the plat request is approved. RECOMMENDATIONS City Sfafif recommends approval of this preliminary plat request, with stipulations. Proposed lots exceed the size standards required by the City of Fridley Zoning Code. Fridley requires that lots in an R-1 district be a minimum of 75' in width with a minimum total lot area of 9,000 square feet. The proposed lots range in width from 76' to 184' and in area from 14,971 square feet to 26,578 square feet. STIPULATIaNS � Staff recommends that the following stipulations be attached to the preliminary plat approval. � 1. Grading and drainage plan to be approved by City's engineering staff prior to the issuance of building permits, in order to minimize impacts to the surrounding properties. 2. Petitioner shall provide a easements as shown on preliminary plat drawing. � 3. During construction, silt fencing shall be used where applicable. 4. P_etitioner to pay required park dedication fees prior to issuance of building permits. 5. Petitioner to pay all water and sewer connection fees. `—� � / � \1 � i � � � �i�� - �i� f � � f � I � ` 3nr/ 1d2�11V3� (9E 'ON 'H'�GS'7) x � -,�,a, ----.-.------��;�,-�-��-�1.:�---�-;-.-- -- .:�m b:. --'-: � ;�� ;� - �� . r _- . a, �f � ::: �= -- a�� : a. \ 1 I!!! }}}�� ,'�" T__ � --- � 'M�r�n: � � _. . .,HEATHER, j� �-� CIRCLE ,��, y � � ��' �.,,' �I � r— )� �0 — .1 _ � �. /'I I � .. � �4 .a •'i ...

New Brighton, MN 55112 Requested Action: Vacation & Re-creation of Utility Easement Purpose: To vacate a 5' portion along the northerly edge of the existing utility easement, and then grant an additional5' of utility easement to the southerly edge of the existing utility easement. Existing Zoning: R-1 Single Family Residential Location: 5490 East Danube Size: 24,812 squaze feet .57 acres � Existing Land Use: Vacant. Surrounding Land Use & Zoning: N: Single Family & R-1 E: Single Family & R-1 S: Single Family & R-1 W: Single Family & R-1 Comprehensive Plan Conformance: Consistent with Plan Zoning Ordinance Conformance: Section 211.07.21 requires drainage utility easements of 20'. Zoning History: Lots are platted in 1973. Variance & wetland replacement plan denied in 1994. Criteria for building permit issuance in 1995. Legal Description of Property: ^ Lots 5& 6, Block 2, Innsbruck North 2°d Add. Public Utilities: Water and sewer are available near the site. Transporta.tion: East Danube provides vehicle access to the site. Physical Characteristics: Area is currently a mix of trees & wetland. SUIVIlVIARY OF PROJECT Mr. Harstad is seeking to vacate a 5' portion along the northerly edge of the existing utility easement, and then grant an additional5' of utility easement to the southerly edge of the existing utility easement. This will center the existing pipe within the easement. SUMMARY OF ANALYSIS City Staff recommends approval of this utility easement vacation and re-creation. A 20' easement is required for all drainage easements. The property currently contains a 20' easement, but the existing storm pipe is not centered in the easement. The vacation an� recreation of this easement will provide the City room necessary to more readily access the pipe for maintenance. CITY COUNCIL ACTION / 60 DAY DATE May 21, 2001 I May 29, 2001 Staff Report Prepared by: Paul Bolin SAV #01-04 THE REQUEST Mr. Harstad is seeking to vacate a 5' portion along the. northeriy edge of the existing utility easement, and then grant an additional 5' of utility easement to the southerly edge of the existing utility easement. ANALYSIS The existing storm sewer pipe is not centered within the current easement. The existing pipe sits only 3.5'-5' from the southe�y edge of the current easement. The granting of this easement vacation and re-creation will provide the room necessary for the City to excavate and repair the pipe, as needed. The City's Public Works Director has indicated that it is in the best of interest of the City to grant this partial easement vacation and re-creation of a 20' easement, in which the pipe would be centered (See attached memo). PROPERTY HISTORY / NEIGHBORHOOD CONCERNS This property was platted in 1973 and the two lots comprising this property have remained vacant over the years. There is a designated wetland area along the westem portion of the property, which collects area run-off and slows the water before it enters the storm pipe and continues to Farr Lake. In 1986, a permit was issued to do some fill work on this site. In 1994, a proposal was submitted to do extensive filling on the southerly lot and obtain variances for home construction. This was ultimately denied. During this variance and_wetland replacement plan process, the neighborhood brought forth concems of illegal dumping and filling on the site. It was determined by Peterson Environmental Consulting, that any fill placed on the site between 1989 and 1993, was placed over the portions filled in 1986 and had no further impact on the wetland area. After investigation by City Staff it was determined that the property could be built on, without impacting the wetland, if certain criteria were met. The criteria were spelled out in the attached letter, dated October 24, 1995, from Barb Dacy to Paul Harstad. In essence, to build on the property one must perform a hydrologic analysis identifying impacts to adjacent properties, complete soil borings and testing, combine the two lots into one tax parcel, and meet with surrounding owners to review the results of the study. Forrest Harstad has met all criteria, spelled out in this letter, for the issuance of a building permit. Neighborhood objections and/or denial of the easement vacation and re-creation will not stop Mr. Harstad from obtaining a building permit, provided the proposed home meets all building and zoning codes. :� Though the petitioner's right to a building permit is in no way related to this easement vacation request, staff has heard from nearly the entire neighborhood on this request. The neighbors have stated that they have enjoyed the scenic beauty of this undeveloped lot, viewing the ducks and other wildlife, and that they are concemed that � � a home constructed on the property will impact the wetland and possibly flood out their basements. The petitioner's hydrologist has indicated that this is not the case. The neighbors have also indicated th�t the petitioner's home may not meet the covenants filed with their subdivision. The City does not regulate or enforce covenants. Any violation or disputes over covenant requirements will need to be worked out between Mr. Harstad and the neighbors in court. The Planning Commission hearing is to determine whether or not the easement should be moved to center our pipe within it. The neighborhood is viewing the public hearing as their opportunity to prevent the City from issuing a building permit and to prevent Mr. Harstad from building. RECOMMENDATION FOR SAV #01-04 City Staff recommends approval of this request to vacate: The northeasterly 5 feet of the southwesterly 10 feet of Lot 5, Block 2, INNSBURCK NORTH 21'1D ADDITION, Anoka County, Minnesota, except the northwesterly 40 feet and except the southeasterly 10' thereof. And to re-create the 20' easement by adding the following: A perpetual easement for drainage and utility purposes on, over, under, and across the southwesterly 5 feet of the northeasterly 10 feet of Lot 6, Block 2, INNSBRUCK � NORTH 21'iD ADDITION, Anoka County, Minnesota. STIPULATIONS City staff recommends the following stipulation be attached to the approval of this easement vacation request. 1. Petitioner shall not construct any buildings or other permanent improvements over the easement area. City of Fridley TO: Paul Bolin, Planning Coordinator PWO1-037 � FROM: Jon H. Haukaas, Public Works Director DATE: Apri127, 2001 SUBJECT: Relocation of Easement - East Danube Road n I have reviewed the Lot Survey of Lots 5& 6, Innsbruck North 2°d Addition for Forrest Harstad in regards to the relocation of the drainage easement between these two said lots.

FR�LEY, t�w ss�32 (�8t 2) 783-0300 I'he above site, Lot9 5 and 6� Block 2, INNSBRUCK PARK NORTH 2ND ADDITION sre owned by Harstad Companies. In 1995, Harstad Compa:►ies was in the process of applyiag for a permit to construct a single farmly home on ti►e above two lots. Corrospondence with tho City of Fridley indicat� that a hydrologic analysis wo�ld be required, to identiFy the impacts to adjaceat properties from conshuction of the siagle family home. T�is study was made to detennine any such impacts. • Methods: The City of Fridley was contacted to get copies of stoim sewer plans in the area. There is no City Watershed Management Plan in this area, so drainage areas were determined in the field visually, and located oa a hslf-se�tion cnap. Stormwater ponding areas were deteamined from an se�ial photo. The resuipng drainage map is showu graplrically in Figure 1. Existing drainage and ponding areas were approximated, and stage-discharge relations w�re developed for the pond outlets. The re,gults were then entered into the HEC-1 hydrology model. Input data and the results are show►a in �gure 2. Finally, a 4000 square foot unpervious area is added to the location of the propos�d house ia the HEC-1 model. The input data aad re.�hs are shown in Figure 3. Aaalysis of Results: The effect of adding 4000 SF of impervious area to Areas 3& 4 is to inarease the SCS wrve number from 70 to 70.7. This results in a more rapid ntnoff into Pond 4 than e�dsting, and the quantity of water is also incres�. The impact of this addidonal runoffis to increase the peak flood elevatioa ofPond 4&om 858.28 to 858.30, i.e. 1/4 inch in a 10-year flood event (an event that occurs on the average, only once in ten years.) The resulting stage in Pond 4 would be approximately 0.9 feet (11 inches) above the invert ofthe 21" oudet pipe (i.e. the pipe would be about 1/2 full at pealc discharge during a 10.year event.) . At the time of the study, water in Pond 2 was appro�dmately 0.2 f�eet bdow the outlet elevation. As properties at 5535 ar�d 5505 West Danube were not� as complaining about high water table aad increased $ooding, their rear yards were inspected. It was founcf that an outlet pipe from under West Danube drains between the houses, and then empties into a ditch that ivn,s into Pond 0Z//Z0 ' d 80SS 9�9 LS9 '�N I' S3W[7F�A�IM01 .tl i� N i I�Il LZ : i i t�-LZ-21dH �--� ,� ,� � 4. The pond was about 2 feet below the outlet pipe, a�d about 3 feet beloa their yards, so flo�ing of the'v yacds is not expected, �ither now or after the proposed home is constructed As the outltt from Pond 4 is oversized, time of storage ia the pond aft� an eveat wautd aot change significantly, aad the effect of slighdy increased (i. e. less than an inch) Pealc Pund stsges woiild have negligible effect on the water table elevation at their homes. Consequee�tly there would be no noticeable drainage impact on these homes Eroan construction of the proposed home. Another home, 5477 E�st Dawbe alsm compieined about increesed nino� so that }�o�e was irrvestigated It was noted that the ouilet pipe &om Pond 4 nins siong the north prop�ty line of this propeciy and empties i�o a large (approximately 10 acres) wetland ponding area to the F.ast. Flood 9tages in Pond 4 do not affect this home. Because of the storage in Pond 4, discharge rates to the large wetland area would also not be measucably affected. The quantity of runoff would increase, as a result of the home, by approximately 900 cf in a 10-year event. Ttris additionel runoff would partially soak i�o the ground, aad pardally flow through the pipe into the large wedand to the East. If all of the increased runoff reached the large wetland, we w�uld expect an increase in stage of approximat�ly 0.002 feet (1/50 of an iach.) Consequeatty tho proposed houso will have no noticeable drainage impact on this house. There are other homes around Pond 4, and it is expected that the proposed home w�71 have no significant drainage impact on arry of them. It should be aoted that there appear to be drainage probiems in the rear yards located north of Pond 4 that are wireelated to Pond 4. Water ponds in the rear of Lots 2 and 3, Block 2, INNSBRUCK NORTH 2ND ADDTTION, with no oudet. This � drainage problem wilt be unaff� by the proposed home. �onclusion: The proposed home will neither cause, nor exacerbate �y drainage problems for the neighborhood.

Fridley, Minnesota January 25� 1999 PEC #4122 This report concerns our recent subsurface exploration and geotechnical review Por the captioned project. We understand that you intend to construct a 32' by 90' residential structure on the property. Accordingly� you requested soil borings be performed to delineate subsurface conditions and define appropriate earthwork procedures Por the praposed conatruction. Scoue of Work - On December 22� 1998� you authorized a geotechnical exploration program. The scope o£ our v�ork for the reference� proj�ct c�+as a� follo�+s: 1. Explore the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions means of at least two standard penetration borings cloae the confines of the proposed structure. 2. Review the soil boring and groundwater data and prepare engineering report which includes the following: by to an a. Results of the borings and groundwater readinga. b. Recommendations for foundation types, allowable soil bearing capacity and potential foundation settlement. c. Recommendations related to possible grading and earthwork for support of spresd footing foundations and floor alabs for the proposed building. ose - The purpose of this report ia to describe our field exploration program, to present the results of our field testing and provide engineering recommendations to assist in the project development and construction. The scope of our work includes only geotechnical considerations and is not intended to determine the extent or p2•esence of environmental cont:amination, or to perform an environmental assessment of the site. 02.ii T' d 80SS 9£9 TS9 '�hl I' S3W01-�U"101 .11 I � N I I�l E� : T T t00Z—LZ-21dH � Page Two �SUDSURFACE ERPLOi2ATION PROGRAM Field Exploratian Procedures - Two standsrd penetration test borings were put down at the site on Januery 6, 1999. �The borings were performed in accordance with ASTM:D1586-84 using a 2" diameter split barrel sampler. The sampler was extended through a hollow stem auger and driven into the undisturbed soils by a 140 pound weight falling 30". In this procedure� the sampler is first driven 8" to set the sampler head. The blows required to advance the sampler an additional 12" are then recorded. This penetraticn re�istance of N-value is then used as an indicator of the relative density of the coarse grained soils (sands and gravel materials). Also, it is used to indicate the consistency of cohesive soils (silt and clay materials). The soil N-value serves as a first approximwtion of strength of the soila encountered. As the samples were obtained in the field, they were visually and manually classified by the crew chief in accordance with ASTM:D2488. Logs vf the borings indicating the depth and identification of the various strata� the N-value, water level information and pertinent infvrmation regarding the method of maintaining e�nd advancing the drill holes are attached. Che►rts illuatrating the soil classification procedure, the descriptive terminology and symbols used on the boring lags are aiso attached. Surface Observations - The site is in a developed residential neighborhood located in the southesst corner of Fridley. There is a storm water collection pond on the back of the property. A storm water sewer line to the pond is buried near the side lot line between Lots 5 and 6. Fill soils have been•placed on the front of the lots between the road and the pond. Some of the fill remains in trucked end dumped piles along the south half of Lot 6 and the north end of Lot 6. Pioneered weed, brush, and tree growth has been established on the lots. Accordin� to topographic survey maps and the size of the tree growth which has established on the property, we estimate much of the fill was placed at least 25 years ago. The surface elevation of the north half of Lot 5 ia several feet lower than the centerline of East Danube Road along the east aide oP the property. The elevation of the dumped fill on the southwest area of Lot 5 ie approximately 3' higher than the centerline oY the rosdWey. Exploration 3cope - Soil borings were placed in areas of the proposed construction where the 811-terrain drill rig could be set up to put down the borings. The borings were put down on January 6, 1999, at locations shown od a copy of the lot survey. The aurface elevations of the borings were referenced to the top of the hydrant located near the east corner of Lot 5. We assumed the top elevation of the hydrant to be 100.0'. a�i� t' a AoISS 9�9 t S9 '�IJ I' S3WOM�11'101 .11 I� N I('LL 6Z : Z t S 0@Z-LZ-?Jdd � �, � � ,. ; • Page Three � � Subsurface Co ditions - The subsurfece conditions at each test location are shown on the attached boring logs. We wish to point out that subsurPace conditions at other times and locations on the site may differ from those found at our test locations. If different conditions are encountered during construction� it is necessary that we be contacted so our recommendations can be reviewed. The test borfng logs also indicate the possible geolo�ic origin of the materisls encountered. A review of the boring logs indicates the preaenee of Pill soils to at least 16' below grade at boring location �1 and at least 10 1/2' below grade at boring location �2. The fill soils consisted mostly of silty sand� and some ailty clay mineral soils with a trace of concrete, wood� and traces of surfece vegetation. The atandard penetration N-values in the fil] sails indicate much of the fill was poorly consolidated 8ad not placed as engineered fill. In boring �2 from 10 1/2' to 17' below grade s layer of poorly consolidated silty clay and silty sand which msy be fill Was encuuntered. Well consolidttL-ed silty sand and sandy Iean clay till were encountered in borings #1 and �2 at 18' and 17' be2ow grade, respectively. The relative density of the silty sand was determined to be medium dense to dense and the consistency of the eandy lean clay was determined to be stiff to hard. Water Levels - The boreholes were checked �or the occurrenae-+�f �roundwa�er during snd shortly after completion of our test borings. According to the boring logs, groundwater was not meaeured in the boreholes with the casing in the ground. However, lenses of waterbearing sand were encountered in each boring as shown on the boring Iogs. _E_NGINEERING REVI Pro_iect Data - Copies oP the Certificate of Survey for the lots showing the delineated wetland on the property Were made available for our reference. We understand you propose to construct a residential building on the property which extends 90' across the front artd is 32' deep. Additionally, we understand the proposed construction will be at-grade conetruction. The building will extend acroas Lot 5� and over the south lot line onto Lot 6. The front setback for the propvsed canstruction will be approximately 30': We anticipste the structure will be constructed using above-grade wood framing and minimum depth perimeter foundation conatruction. For this type of structure� the wa11 loadings would be relatively Iight. When stipported on minimum width spread footings, the maximum soil contact pressures would usually be no more than 1b00 psP. Page Four Discusaion - Our borings indicate the presence of 10' to 18' of poorly consvlidated uncontrolled fill soils over competent silty send and sandy lean clay till soils. In our judgement, the fill would not be suitable for foundation support without the potential for excessive settlement under the consL•rucL•ion loadings. The depth of fill soils and underlying weak transition soils indicate a eoil corrected building pad would be required� The soil correction would extend at least 15' below existing grade and would require excavation of fill soils. A buildi,ng pad of fill soils compacted in thin lifts to 95X of ti�e Standard Pructor density would be constructed. The correction would require corresponding oversize beyond the footprint of the proposed coiistruction. In our opinion� there is insufficient area on site due to the wetland bounderiea and property lines for deep excave�tion and stock-piling of excavated soils. The fill soils enco�intered In the borings indicate they may be suitable to be used for engineered fill if their moisture content is not L•oo high to permit desired compaction. The on site sandy lean clay Yill soil.s and other fill soils with significant amounts of silt and clay fines must be placed with a controlled moisture content and, therePore� may not be deeirable to construct a c�rrected pad. Based on t�ie boring logs� significant depth of fill snd limited aree to excavate for a deep soil correction it is our judgement that a driven pile_ foundati�n system would provide the best support for the future sLructure. For structures such as houses� treated timber piles are normally utilized. Site grading work will be required to prepare the site Por pile driving and to prepare the fill to support floor alab construction loadings. After removing the tree, brush, and surPace vegetation from the building -aite We recommend eurface compaction vt the exposed fill eoile using a eelf-propelled vibratory aheepsYoot roller. Fill soile placed to bring the eite up to grade should be compacted in thin lifts to 95X of the Standsrd Proctor Denaity. Founda,tion Recommendations for D�iven Piles - For beat possible results, we recommend the structure be supported on a deep foundation consisting of driven timber pilea. Our computations indicate that pile drivin� to a depth of 26' to 30' below exi.sting grade would attain a safe working load of about 20 tons per pile, with a factor of safety of about 2. The saPe working load computations allow for a r�egative side friction load of 5 tons per pile. To attain a working load capacity of 20 tons per pile, we recommend the piles be driven with a hammer heving a manuPacturers rated energy on the order of about 17�000 to 21,000 foot/pounda. ol�ibt '�1 80SS 9£9 IS9 '�fJ I' S3WQHN1"101 �lJ. I� N I Ml 0£ : i I t00Z-�.Z-21dd � ��, r"� �, Page Five We recommend the floor slabs for the t�uilding be supported on the existing fill. To minimize moisture transfer Prom the underly3ng soils to be floor slab� we recommend a minimum 6" thick layer of free-draining granular soil with less than lOX passing the #200 sieve be placed below the floor slab. OBSERVATION AND TESTING The pile lengths estimated in this report are based on static determination from the boring lags. The actual lengths should be determined in the field. For residential piling projects� this field determination is normally made utilizing accepted dynamic formulae such as the modified Engineered News Records Formula. It Is possible that ground vibrations transmitted by pile driving operations may be felt within or adjacent to the nearby residential structures. Under these conditions, owners of existing adjacent residentie.l properties sometimes notice cracks or other diatress features to their wa11s and ceilings which exieted prior to the adjacent vibration i�ducing construction but had gone unnoticed. UnWarranted claims of damage accordingly sometimes arise as a result of pile driving or other construction activities which transmit perceptible vibrations beyond the project confines. Protection against unwarranted claims can be combatted by reiaining an independent party to perPorm a precondition survey of adjecent conatruction prior to pile driving. This normslly consists of either video taping of wa11, ceiling and floor surfaces or obtaining Pield notes and photographs of the exieting condition. It would be aleo advisable to obtain vibration recordings at adjacent structures durin� the initial pile driving. We recommend the pile driving operation be doee when there is no frost• in the ground. Vibrations generated by pile driving can be transmitted to adjacent properties with greater energy when Prost ia present. Also� flexible connections of all underground utilitiea should be used to minimize any movement damage to these lines. STANDARD OF CARE The recommendations contained in this reporL- represent �our professional opinions. These opinions Were arrived at in accordance with curreni:ly accepted engineering practices at this t3me and location. Other than this, no warranty is implied or intended.

(We have a three and a four yeaz old.) The house is over 3400 square feet without basement. The pond and wetland will not be in any way filled or made smaller and an hydrologic analysis has been done by a Professional Engineer. The City of Fridley requested that this lot, Lot 6, Block 2, Innsbruck Pazk North 2nd Addition be combined with its adjacent, also empty lot, Lot 5, into one parcel for tax purposes. This combination will create one lot of over half an acre and will of course mean that only one and not two houses could be built on what is today two lots as originally approved and platted. I have designed our new house to fit entirely within the lines of what is now lot 6, the � northeasterly of the two lots as platted. To that extent our house�will�be�next door to 5544 East � Danube rather than closer to the back yazds of 5495 and 5501 West Danube. By the way; I intend to leave the trees untou�hed behind t��ose back yards on what will be gene�ally the southwesterly half of our newly combined single lot. ' Between these lots today exists twenty feet of drainage easement, ten feet on each lot; and, within that, a storm sewer drain pipe from a catch basin in the street. From a recent land survey we learned that storm drain pipe happens to be from about five to about six feet southwest of the center of that twenty feet of easement. As the City Engineer indicated.the City would prefer that easement were better centered on that storm pipe, I have now requested that when the lots are combined into one parcel, the drainage easement be moved (rededicated) five feet to the southwest. There would then still be a twenty foot wide easement in the center of our newly combined lazger single lot. Moving the easement this five feet is not necessary for the construction of our new home. To move it would not only better center the pipe witlun the easement, but it would also allow our new house to be built five feet further away from our neighboring house next door to the northeast at 5544 East Danube. This would allow for approxunately fifty feet between the two houses rather than only forty five. The City of Fridley also requested a hydrologic analysis to deternune if there would be adverse impacts to surrounding properties from the construction of a dwelling on our property. Tedd W. Mattke, a Registered Professional Engineer who supplanted his engineering degree with a Ph.D. � in hydrology did the analysis and concluded, "The proposed home will neither cause, nor exacerbate any drainage problems for the neighborhood." I have a copy of the hydrologic report at my office in New Brighton on Silver Lake Road and ^ Mississippi Street, address ahove. I invite you to come have a look at it and/or the soil tests and/or our house plans including how the house fits on the lot on Monday evening, 30 April 2001 between 5:30 and 830. I will also try to accommodate special requests for appointments at other times between now and the Planning Commission meeting on 2 May 2001. I invite. you to call me day or evening, including weekends with any questions. My cell phone is 612-723-8733. Should you end up in my voice mail box, do please leave a message. I will return your call. I have enclosed an aerial photograph with the approximate position of the new house along with my personal bio and that of my companies. Sincerely, � _o___ Fonest Hazstad � � Fo�rest I�arstad literally grew up in the new home business. Born in 1956 to real estate developers Keith aad Diane Hazstad, he first worked at new home construction sites while only a youngster in grade school. In high school he drew his first house designs and he worked summers as a carpenter. In 1975 he became a licensed Realtor and pursued art and design interests. After college, Fonest built a successful block-and-cement construction business during weekdays and sold new homes on weekends. During those yeazs he also trained under his uncle, an engineer in the custom home building business. This afforded Forrest hands-on apprenticeship at each and every aspect of new home construction under a very practical builder who ha.d an eye for detail and craftsmanship. Soon his design background had him working intimately with his new home buyers on their personalized custom home designs. In 1980 he started building on his own and has since custom designed and/or built ^ awazd-winning homes of all styles from 3-story Victorians to original Contemporary Ramblers.
