COMMUNICATIONS:
,- BILLMAN, INC, - PERMIT TO BUILD:
Mr. Keprios repreaentating Acres, Inc. w�s present at the Counril Meeting.
The City Manager stated that granting the permit to build depenrled upon the
question of epreading the assessments for the Lift Station. Mr. Keprios
stated that,the coat of the Lift Station was prohibitive unless spread among
all the lota in the plat. He etated that the only way in which A�res, Inc.
can proceed to build upon these lots is to have the assessment spread over
the lots in the plat and over the time period specified in the original request
of Acres, Inc. The City Menager stated that it was a question oE policy whether
the Council would giant the Acres, Inc. the right to spread the assessments for
the etreets over a ten year period and the storm sewer and lift staT.ion over a
20 year period. Councilmatt Wright asked if most of the lots of the plat were
already built up. The City Manager answered no, that all the lots of tlie plat
were owned by Acres, Inc, and that the Council felt it should be platted prior
to spreading the asaessments for the Lift Station. The Mayor aske�3 b1r. Ke,prios
100
i� he was correct in assuming that Acres, Inc. cannot transfer title until the lot
is platted, Mr. Keprios anawered that Acres, Inc, had a purchaee agreement with
the buyer of the lot, including plans Eor the house, and specifications for
construction oE the house, and date set for the huyer to take posaeasion of the
house. He state� f.urGher that Acres, Ine, had sold the property and wants to
connect sewer and water to the house on the property in order to be able to finish
construction of ttie propetty and turn the san� over to the owner.' Councilman
Wright stated that tlie owner could not move into the house until th� property had
been platted. Mr. Ke.prios etated that Acres, Inc, wished to extend linea to the
atea to prov�dr service to the homes in the plat.
Councilman Wright asked what stege of planning Innsbruck Sth Addition is in at
the present time. Tlie Mayor ansrrered that Innabruck Sth Addition is''in the final
etage of planning, The spreading of assessments for Ehe Lift Station is holding
up the finA1 plannang. The Mayor asked Mr, Keprios if Acres, Inc. will submit
the rest oC the land for platting. Mr. Keprios answered, 'Yes." ,The Mayor stated
that the assessments for the Lift Station will not be spread on the property and
the property will not be billed for the assessments until thie fall. He expressed
concern that the oumers will contend that the titles which they purchased do not
show the assessments Eor the Lift Station billed against the property. Mr. Keprios
said that Acres, Inc. had been holding this lot (Lot 11, Block 4, Innsbruck Sth
Addition) fer the owner and the owner is aware of the situation.
Tlie City Managrr euggested to Mr, Keprios that the City make an agreement with
Acrrs, Inc, for the final platYing of Innsbruck Sth Addition. Mr. Keprios stated
that he would make this suggestion to Mr. Billman.
Motion hy Kirkham to authorizr. the Adminiatration to grent a building permit for
7.ot 11, Iilock 4, Tnnsbruck 5th Addrtion. Seconded by Thaopson. Upon a voLCe vote,
there being no navg� the motion carried unanimously.
MF.MP: HOSPITnL PF,L;:
Th� City ManagFr stnr.�d that bids have been awarded for the construction of the
hospital in the Nortli Suburben Hospital District. He stated further that he
believed only tbe contractor would benefi.t by eliminating the fee for the building
permit. Fcidley is only 1/5 of the North Suburban Hospital Diatrict and whereas,
the City of Pridley daes not charge school districts for building permits nor does
it carry on inspection of construction of achools, he doea not believe that the
North Suburban ]�ospital District qualifiea for the same treatment as the schoo2
distrLets. No member or representative af the North Suburban Hospital District
was present at the Conncil meeting. The City Manager stated that the contractor
Eor the North Suburban Hoapital District may ask the North Suburban Hospital
Distrxct for an addition to his fee if the City of Fridley does not eliminate
the building inspection fee, but the Administration had no informatfon at the
present time as to whether or not the contractor would do so. Councilman Kirkhnm
stated that the A�lministration should find out who would benefit from elimination
of the buildin� inspection fee. Council.man Thompson stated the building inspector
sliould supply more details Uefore submitting a memo for the elimination of the
fPe for consideratioil. The City Manager stated that he preferred to discuss the
matter with the repreaentatives of the North Suburban liospital District rather
than have the building insp�etor do so.
M�t.on by Kirkham to table to the Regular Council Meeting of March 15, 1965
consideratLOn of the IIuilding Permit Fee for the North Suburban Hospital District.
Secc,nded by Thompson. Ilpon a voice vote, the.re being tto nays, the motion carried
unenimously. "
MEP70: FILLING STA'CION:
The City F1ana�;Pr explained that Section 13.02 of the City Code of Fridley has
restrictions on the location of filling stations in relation to Cheir proximity ,
to one another. This Section af the Code gives the Council the opportunity
to decide whether or not to grant the permit f or the constructipn'of the filling __J
statLOn on tlie land proposed by Robert Schlesinger. Councilman Kirkham asked
the City Manager if the City Mana,n,er had any ob�ectiona to the conatruction
oP the filling sta*_ion on the site, The City Manager said, "No, I do not have
any ob,7ections myeelf," The Mayor asked where the service'road, on which it
was proposed to locate this filling station, will be lxated. The City Maneger
answered that the service road would run on the east side of''University Avenue
from 57th Avenue to 67th Avenue. '

- APPROVING THE FINAL PI.ANS AND SPF
- ST. 1965-1
Councilman Sheridan aeked whether it would be possible far the Cauncil to
delete portions oE the Project after the Pro,7ect had once been approved. The
City Manager replied thet the effect oE deletLOns of portions of the Project
depend upon how large a portion of the total Pro}ect the deletLons are, Councilman
Sheridan atated that the City did not own part oP Fillmore Street which wes
included in the ProjeCt and did not have all of tfie right-oE-way on Fillmore Street.
He stated further thaC the price of land which the present owners have paid foc
the land would make it expensive Eor the City t� obtain the right-of-way by
caulemnation, although, the City could possibly clear with the property owners
the right to conatruct the street within 30 days. The City Engineer asked if
it would be possible Yo clear tlp right-of-way matter by March 15. Councilman
Sheridan anawered that he thougt this would be possible. The City Manager
suggeated that the contract specifications could state that tM Project on
Fillmore straet might be deleted or delayed, thet in his opinion thi4 was a
small part of the totsl Project and would not affect the coat tp the Cjty
materially.
Mayot' Nee stated that the Council could do the same for construction of pavement
along Ashton Street. The City Manager stated that pavin� AshY.on Street might
require the posting of Ironton Street Por load limite to keep the trucks off
Ironton and Aahton Streets during part of the year and that deletion o£ so large
a portion of the contract might result in the imposition of adverse expenses upon
the City.
Motion by Thompeon to adopt Resolution No. 30-1965 as corrected. Seconded by
Sheridan. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, tt�e motion carried unanimously.
Motion by Kirkham to approve Resolution No. 31-1965. Seconded by Sheridan. Upon

RSSOLUTION N0. 32-1965 RELATING 1C) CONSTRUCTION OF A.7UNIOR COLLEGE:
Councilman Thompson asked if it would be possible for the Council to adopt
a Reaolution effecting the wishes of the Council. The City Manager answered
that it would be poeaible to present a Reeolution to the County which would
reflect the wishes oE the Council. The Mayor etated that the City ought to
provida data to the County Commisaioners and to the Junior College Soard to
show that the land which is pcoposed for the conatruction of the Junior College
will aupport the buildings. The Mayoz' asked Mr. Comstock if the City had
reports or data which would ehow that the land was capable of supportLng
conatruction of these buildings. Mr, Comstock answered th�t te.st holes had been
made in the land to a depth oE 7 feet. The City Engineer stated that addLtional
test holes would ba required for the conatruction of the huilding at the locations
of the footings of the buildinga, and that it would be necessary to have a plot
plan to know the location of the footings of the buildinga before any worthwhile
data could be gathered on the feasibility of construction of the buildLngs. The
Mayor stated that it would 6e useEul to have a letter from the ConsultLng Engineer
including data ahowing that it is feasible to construct these buildings on this
proposed eite. Motion by Thompaon to adopt Resolution No. 32-1965. Seconded
by ltirkham, Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously,

Councilman Wright atated that he had discussed this matter with the people in

people are not enthusiastic for the locatson of the fillin�� sl.ation as proposed.
He asked if it would be poesible for the Counr_il to table action o£ the request
for a building permit until the Planning Consultant has time to examine the matL-er.
Councilman Ttiompeon stated that the design of the filling station would be a
marked improvement on the looks of tM structures presently built alon�* UniversLty

would replace the auto body shop presently located on the property. Councilman
Wright aeked whether the auto body shop would go out of business. Mr. Schlesinger
answered "Yea." The Mayor asked what was biSilt on the pcoperty behind the
proposed location of the filling station. Mr. Schlesinger answered that he had
acquired the lot immediately behind the auto body shop and thie loC would also
become part of the Pilling station property.
,
Motion by Thompson to granC the request for a building permit for the filling
station, exempt the request from Section 13.02 of the City Code of Fridley
and refer the plans for the construction of the filling station to the

LAYNE-MINNESOTA: ASSIGNMENT:
The City Manager etated that a technicality Ln assigning Pro,7ert Sd-34-q-2
constr�etion paymenta to tlle Northwestern Nati.ottal Sank of Minneapolis for
the Layne-Minnesote Company was brought to his attention by tlie consulting
engineer, Mr. Comstock. No pArtlal payments for the construction can be made
until it is 90% complete. Mayor Nee asked if the construction which Layne-
Minnesota was undertaking is for the pumphouse for Well N6 Eor the City of
Fridley. The City Manager anewexed "Yes." The City Mnnager Atated thot the
Layne-Minnesota Company is in��olved in a law suLt in the state oE M7.chigan,
and probably presented this request to the Citv Council in order to prevent
the court from attaching the payme.nts from the City oE Pridley for the
construction of the drift well.
Councilman Kirkham asked whether consigninn the payments to the Northwestern
Nationel Bank oE Minneapolis would cost the City of Fridley anythin�. The
City Attorney answered that a disagre¢ment existed over payment Eur construction
of previous wells built by Layne-Minnesota Company. 'This disagceement had
been settled by his predecessor in an agreement out of cuurt. The former
City Engineer, Calvin Brown, liad queations relating to the testin�; of the wells
when settling the previous contract with Layne-Minnesota Company. The City
Attorney stated further that the City of Fridley should not agree to assi�nment
of tlie funds at the present time, but should dec�de this issue wlien payment of
the £unda hecame due, if all problems are res�lved at thaC tLme. He stated
further that there is nothing in the contract that would malce it mandatory
for the City to assign the paymenta nor will the City incur any loss if the
City does not assign the payments.
The Mayor asked if it was correcC to state that asei�nmenC oE the payments to
the Northwestern National IIank would not mean anything. Mr. Comstock anewered
Chat he could see no reason nor any advantage r.o the City in complying with
the requeat of the Layne-Minnesota Company. The Mayor etated that possibly
tlie Layne-Minnesota Company might need the funds to complete construction oP
the well, Mr. Comatock ans�x red that the well and equipment u+ere operable
except for the delivery and installation of an electric motor starter. The
equipment is,not at the stage oE completion wtiere the City is required to
make any paymenta to the contractor at the present ti_me.
Motion by Wright to receive and acknowledge the communication oE the Layna-
Minneeota Company and conaider action upon the requeat when maney is due the
Layne-Minnesota Campany under the regular provieions of the contract. Seconded

S3TTMAT65:
Mayor Nee asked whcther it were possible to make payment for the desi�n oE
the Fridleq Civic Center from funds aecrued from the sale oE the bond issue
and whether it would t,e possible to pay these same fees Erom the sinking
fund for the bond i�sue. The City Alana,�,er answered that the City Treasurer
would arran�e for payment of the fees. The Mayor asked whether the Qharg�s
wPre consistant with the contract with the Architect. '11ie City Manager answered
ttiat he has not checked the contract. Councilman Wright stated that Che City has
not kept a check of the time the Architect has spent in conference with the
Citizens Committee or with the service the Architect rendered in this capacity.
The City Man�ger stated thaC it would be possible to get more itemizatione on
the bill from the Architect, The Architact's fee is based on a percentage of the
total cost of construction, Councilman Wright stated that it appeared the
Architect had compared his time costs witlti costs of the 2%a cOnsttuction fee and
billed the City for the lesser amount.
The Ma�or aslced what the total £ee oP the Architect will be. The City &ngineer
answered that he did not know. The City Manager stated that the Architect had
the rLghr. to char�e a fee for the completion of the preliminary plans and
sper_;_fications and the total fee was generally a pPrcentage o£ the cost of
construction sucl� as 6 or 7 petcent. The Mayer asked whether it was really
necessary for the ArchitecY. to itemize the bill since he would evetttually be
paid on a flat percenta�e basis anyway. The City Enginaer etated that thie
was correct and the Architect would generally charge a standard flat pereentage
of the cost of con4truction. Councilmatt Wright stated thare were undoubtedly
extra costs ove.r and above the normal flat percentage rate of Lhe cost oE
construction due to the canpletion of preliminary plane for other building aites
tlian the present one. The Mayor stated that he believec� the estimatea of the
Architect were probably okay for payment.

PETIITON a3-1965:
The Mayor asked whether the street requested by the petitioners for improvement
was in sufficLently bad shape to warrant improvement. The City Lngineer anewered
that the existing street had been built in 1956 and 1957 and that during the
time East River Road was under repair trucks were detoured ottto the street and
had ruined the pavement. He stated further that the awners had petLtioned for
ronstruction of a 36 Poot wide paving with concrete curb and gutter. The Mayor
asked whethec Lhe project could be attached to the Street Proaect 1965-1. The

AGREBMF,NT WITII MAX SALI'I'ERMAN CONCGRNING PRQPERTY NORTH OF SHOREWOpD'LOUNGE:
The City Menager explaincd that the City Attorney would like to have the Council
approve the proposed a�reement between the City and Max Salitermrinw owner of the
property nortliPast of the Shorewood Lounge. The a�reement provides that the
oNmer provide for relocating the water Iines on his property, with Che City
g�;ineer doin� the engineerin� And inspection of the work; second, that the
owner would further take responsibility for the construr_Yinn af the water ser�vice;

propert}�, fourth, the CiYy would receive an easement Eor e road as per legal
desr_ription prepared hy t.hp C9.Y.y wt�ich would be dedicated to'the City by the
property owner. The oomer to be assessed for the cest of building a road of
residentis] design. ,
'The Mayor asked if it would not bo better to ohtain an agreement for the
construetion of the street built to commercfal standards rnther than reaidential
standards. The City Manager answered that the City has two standard street designs,
one for resi.dential paving and one for industrial paving, and where atreets wLth
industrial paving, are built, the industry is required to pay the diEference in the
assessi� nt co�t��. The City Attorney stated that the requiremettt'for 'the road'to
Ur_ built oF the residential design was the last sentence in the BgtP.P.RI2RC and
�.��� added Uy Mr. Shapiro, the attorney for Max Sr�literman. He sfiated fuz'ther
that it was the original plan of *fax Saliterman to encase the water aervice pipe
buL he had fouad it more re�sonable to relocate the City water pipes' around rather
than under the building and did not need to encase the pipes. The City Attorney
stated further that tlie owner would be assessed for the normal residential cost
for the street, the street being a State Aid Street. The Cfty apparently does
not have any record of easements for the utilities crosein� the property. The
CitY Manag�r staF,ed that thc_ owner is dedicating tlie entire right-of-way to the
City, paying for the aeseasmente on bohh sides of the road easement'and for this
reason he was given to understand that payment for the street would be at the
rate for a street of reaidentisl design. The C%ty Attorney pointed out that the
ownec had a�reed to pay the residential rate for the cost of the road designad
by the City Cn;Lnaer.
Th� Mayor st.tted that he had always {�nderstood that an owner wovld pay for the
street accordi_ng t� the design of streets in tha surrounding area','and asked if
it was correct to charge the property owcwrs dedicating the street £or the
assessmenks a�+ainsr property on both sides o£ the street. The City ManagBr
answerPd Yhat it is correct that tlte e�mer pays for assessmenta for the�9treet
bi_lled ap,ainst the properCy on both sides of the street only if the atreet goes
through the property, and that in this case Che owner did'not�want the construction
of tl-ie 3tceet. The Mayor asked what was the worth oE the utility easemant. He
ctated that the City was in effect trading the expense of the street for the
utili*y easement. Councilman Wright asked how much the expense of' the street
was. The Mayor answered that it was a consider¢ble amount. The City Manager
pointed out t11at Mr, Saliterman dces not have to dedicate the easement for the
road, The Mayor aske,d if the Council during the discussion with Mt. Saliterman,
hnd informed Mr. Saliterman oF the cost of the road. The City Manager answered
that he believed Mr, Saliterman had been told that his cost oE the road would
Ue hased on residential costs, '171e City Attorney stated that eccording to his
recollection the road would be an extension of the State Aid Road. The Mayor
asked wh�t tlie constriaction cost oE the street would be. The City Engineer
answPred $7.50 per foot for a 36' wide residential street.

NOTiCS FOR BIDS - BEACIi F10USE ON MOORE I�ICC SF,ACH:
The City Mana�er explained that the Par!cs and Playgrounds Sub-CommLttee asked,
that the CiCy Engineer be authorized to prepare a notice for bids for the
Beach House on Moore Lake Beach. The Parks and Playgrounds Sub-Committee has
made a plan for financing the construction oE the Beach House, the plen to
include the $5,000.00 balance oE funda in the Bond Issue for the Parks and
Playgrounds, $7,500.00 from the Park Deposit Fund, and $200 to $300 in gifts.
The bids had been rejected last year because they were considered L-o be too
high. The matter was returned to the Council for action this year. The
Council last year suggested buying additional property and asked the Director
of the Parks and Play,�,rounds Sub-Committee to tinvestigate the possibilLty of
�-'' purchasing additional property. If the Council decided to consYruct a Iieach
� Nouse, it would be necessary to act now so tliat the Reach Rouse could he used
� this summer. Cpuncilman Wri�ht stated that the Parks and Flaygrounds Sub-
Committee wished to have construction of the Beacl� House instea�9 of the purchase
of additional land. The Parks and Playgrounds Sub-Committee has considered
this careFully and has gone to some trouble to plan financin� oE the construction
without using any of the funds from the current budget, and without �eopardizing
any of the City financing. Councilman Wright Stated that construction of the
Beach House had high priorit}� in 1964 and that he wished The City would take
the opportUnity to develop this asaet. He stated further that that tl�ece was
some queation concerning the safety oE bathing Ln Moore Lake, but he belLeved,
however, that the lake could be maintained in such a manner as to make it safe
Eor bathing. The Conatruction of thfs Beach Il�use will be a demonstration of
good_park development and the Ueach will be adequate for use by all rhe
population iof Fridley,
Councilman Thompson asked the Council to aupport the prelimioary plans and
projecta of-the Parks and Playgrounds Suh-Committee. He stated that among
these plans were improvemnnts oE park sites a?ready ocuned hy th� Cit,�, especially
the park site in the'Craigway Addition and the island at Ann Street. The Parks
and Playgroanda Sub-Committee has requested development of Yhese two properties,
construction of the Beach House, however, has priority o��er acquLring new land
that might be needed for park development in the future. AnothPr item which
the Parks and Playgrounds Sub-Committee has planned is tlie construction oE 2ice
Creek Lake or Fridley Lake which will also require the use nf these fun3s.
A visitoi to the Cortncil meeting Wilbur Whitmore asked if th� bonds proposed
£or the use of funding construction of the Beach House were designated for
the special parpose of acquiring land only, The Mayor answered, "No," that
tlle bondn could be used only to finance reconsT.ructLOn or capital expenditures
but, could not be uaed to finaner. operations. Councilman Ldright st�ted th1T.
one other atretegy might be uaed to obtain funds for the rnnstruction of the
Beach�House, in addition to the use of money from the two bond issues: The
City has money�for Che Park Pund from speciel assessments which has not been
deducted frrnn the Park accovnt. The resources of the Park account have been
reduced extenaively and these funds might Ue used instead.
Councilman Wright stated that poi.lution of Moore Lake would he reduced by
furnishing a bath houae and proper toilet facilities for the beach and the
Council should aupport the recommendation o£ the Park CommissLOn.
Motion by Kirkham to concur with the recommendation of the Parks aiid Play�rounds
Sub-Committee'and pcoceed with the construction of the Beach House. Seconded

stated that the reaelution would be ePnt to the two senators and the governor
explaining the wish of the Council to obtain enabling Legislation to issue

un�er a local swap. The bill could not be passed on the state wide basis during
the current L�gi_slative session. The City Attorney stated that the'liquor
interests who were generally opposing this bill were not very active in their
]ohbying diiring this aess�on of the Legislaturv_ and hence this bill had a fair
rtiance of pASSing. Cauncilman Wright stated that two test Uills were before the

The City M�nager staTed that he had asked the City Bngineer to collect data on
th� back up of saniYary sewera and the flooding by storm aewers during the recent
heavy rains in the City of Fridley. The City Sngineer stated that the City had
considerablP trouhle with sanitary aewers backing up especially in that part of
Pcidley alonU 1Tniversity Avenue between 37th and 58th Avenue Northea9t. Beginning
Saturday, the City t�ad four to six men checking catch basins to inaure that catch
basins would be open during tbe time of rain £all to provide drainage. IIeginnittg
an Monday March 1, the City had six men working at 5:30 A.M. and all the men of the
Departments of Public Works and Sn�ineering working at 8:00 A.M, cleaning catch
Uasina and hasements in the area. �olumbia }leights has beo_n running iEs s*_orm sewer
wnr.�r through thr sanit.ary sewer main which is not designed for draining storm se�ver
watr_r. Wh�n this hPavy flow of storm sewer wetec enters the senitary sewet, the
wntor backs up �n the sewer ❑nd floods basements in a portion of Fridley bef.ore
flnpding any portion oE Columbia Heights. The situation has never been as bad as
it was on th� date �E March l. As Yhe two cities are being built up further, the
sanitary sewer capacity wi17 be used up and the problem will become worse. On
March 1, the City had 40 ralls Erom residents to clean basemente of backed up
sewer water, this lArge numhPr of compleints occupied all the telephone lines at
tlle City Hall of Pridley. Some property owners may enter claims against the City
of Frirlley for dama�es to their basements.
The 19ayor ask�c] if the City of Fridley hed any claims against the City of Columbia �
liei�hts, The City Manager answered th�t the adminiatration has considered entering _
clair�s against the City of Columbia Heights. Councilman Wright asked whether any
l�verage mip,ht be used to get Columbia Heights to build a atorm aeWer syatem. The
Mavor asked if it were poesible to buy capacity in the existing sanitary aewer
syst�m from Columbia Heights. The City Manager answered that the City-of Cblumbia
liPip,hts probabl}> did have excess capacity i_n their sanitary aewer syatam, and that
ho_ would call the City Manager of 4'nlumbia Heights in regard to the matter.
CouncLlman Kirkham ask?d iE the City oE Columbia Heights is�planning�a new storm
se+aPr line. The C�ty En�ineer answeced that the City oE Columbia Haights had
been contemplating Y.he constructien of a storm sewer line to cost ane million
dnllars. 'fh� Mayor stated r_hat the City of Columbia Heights, as far as he knew,
had installed storm sewer lines uncier the ctreet but had noY connected them to
any intPrceptors to carry off the storm sewer water. He stated further that the
Cir.y oE Fridley had puxchased the ri,�,ht from the City of Columbia Heights for
rapacitv to drain S�nitary sewer waY.er from the City of Fridley into the sanitary
sewer system of the City of Minneapolis, The City Engineer stated that the
�resent 33 inch sanitary sewer line built by Colmnbia Heights is not big enough
to handle the storm sewer water and sanrtary sewer water during conditions causing
the flooding and the occurrence will be repeated. The Mayor asked whether the
contract Columbia NeightR has with the City of Minnenpolis for sanitary sewer
service allowed the City of Columbia Heights to dump its storm aewer water into
the sanitary sewer. The City Attorney answered that the contract does not. The
City Engineer stated that the overflow of the .7nekson hole aump fnto ColumbiA
lleigtita sanitacy sewer had been the cause of most of the trouble in the City of �
Pridley. I
Che Mayor askPd why the area in Sylvan Hills ia flooded. Mr. Comatock answered
that the catch basins Ln the Sylvan Hills area were frozen. The City fingineer
stated that the Administcation hed employees at work trying to clear'the catch
ba:+ins and that- they should be clear as of the time of the Council m2eting.
'lo�aever, the Administration could not guarantee that new ice would not form on
r_he catch 6esins. The City Manager stated that the current problem9 were due to
tha I1P.AVLC9L rain fall the Ci.ty has had in aome time equalling 1� inches of rain.
