He said that on the praperty owner�s abstracts, a xwad was shorm, and the eaLue of the property will go down with no service drive. He said that the people feel it is illegal to close this road. He said that if accidents were ths reason for closing this road, the Fridle,y palice report showed no acaident £rom Januar,� l� 1966 through May 7� 1966. He mentioned that several peeple who have �ust bought praperty� now f�nd they face an additional 10 block� te reach Mississipni Street, and with the grocery store� there will be that many more cars, and he suggested that on 66th Avenue the atreet me curbed on one side so that cara from the gr•cery store oan not get down 66th. He said that closing this service drive may affect their fire p�otection as the pplicias say they are 2ass than a mi].ea and now it will be two or three mi�es, He said some of the people who s3gned the petition were not as concerned with the elosing as wlth not having a voice in the decision. ��4 6/2oi66 He stated that some of the peonle who agree with the closin�� say that now the children can play in the streeta, but he pointed out� it will only take one car to cause an accident. They feel that with the proper signal lights, the traffic problem could be worked out. May�r Rirkham said that it would not be as simple as just putting up the lights as mentioned. He said that this had be�n the Council�s first thought but when thex had asked the Highway Department, they found it rauch tme expensive and the traffic too complicated. Mr, Garl Helson said that pemple have quit gm3ng to Holly Center because of the cangestion� and i£ this contimiss the3r 3nventory vJll be cut in halY, which would mean less taxes £or the City� so he felt these taaces would take care of the cost easily. � Mayor Kirkham said that it is the State thaL must do this' axid not the C,_ty af Fridley� and he called on the representative of the State Highway Department. Mr. Kurplus� mf the Minnesota State Highway Department, e�lained to the people that a11 the cornera o£ the main interaectior� are giving them prmb�,ems, and they find that when they are too close to the highway they are impossible to signali7a� as there are too many hazards. He said that the Department felt that s�11 £rontage roads should be detached if possible� and they had worked £or over � year with the Council and Mr. Hochze, the City Planner, on this. He said he Pelt it logical to use an adjacent north-south street, He said that when the southeast quadrant is Yinished, the highway department wil7. busld a small center island on Mississippi which wi.11 further eontrol the tr�ffic on Mississippi Street, and again said that the Service Drive w�as ieleted on the 6asls oP the recpmmeniati�n of the Highway Department to the Council. Councilman Samuelsm pointed out. that this was State Highway I�epartment property and they can close it. Mr. Carl Nelson said that they have on their abstr�ct that a service road i� provided, so he feels t�e Highxay Den�rtme��� shc+uld investigate this hei�re they elose ths road. Councilman wrighi said that he appreciated what Mr. Nelson and the other l�nd owners were saying. He said that he had voted with the Council to ' clese this r�ad, and felt the pe�ple should get the full p3cture. He pointed out that a raised median which the State will put in tc the ed�e m£ the State'a prooErty will prevent certain turn-oYis ar turning onto this road. He said that the Mayor was correct in saying that the Council does not have abselute right bvt considerable pressure c+nuld be �ased if the Council had a mind t�, but he pointed out that the Highway Department has agreed to pay £or another street made aecesyary by cl•sing the service drive, and the Counail agrees with the Minnes�ta Highrrap Department that they upgrade a strest a block diatant rather than the sernice cirive right next to the highway. Mr, Paul Dannenberg, 31s R3ce Creek Terrace� asked if the street which would be put ?.a� �a�rrallel would he I�th Street. Councilman Wright said that '��� State will not assiat with purchasing right-oY-xay, but will help pay for the surfacing - F•ot frr foat. He gave as an example 531d Aver�ue which the;� paid £mr as a trade for the service driue which was given np. Mr. Dannenberg said he lives on the corner and_�aow has to go 10 blecks t0 get to kiississippi �treet9 and asked what will have to ta� dane te get the City to pnrchase right-of-way �;a finiah 4th Street. Mayor Kirkham pointed that hames would have to be ta�ken to do this. A v3sitor asked zf their taxes would go dawn now that they cannot eet out� and the f3re degartment cannot get in, She said they xere told there was going to be a road behind them. Mayor Kirkhazn said that the service road mentioned in the abstract �s on property that was never imprmved. � I3s said there 3e right-of-way to the east of the Service Drive. Cauncilman Wright said that the State once paid the property owners £or the right-of-way. Mr. Dannenberg sald that when the petitioners had met in commitkee� many of them realized that ever,ything was eut and dries 6e£ore the peAple had their say, but they apreed i£ nothing xas dene, they would hire a lawyer. Councilman Wright said he sras not de£endinp, that the Council was always right� but a�l�ed if they would be satisfied i£ the Court said the Council was right and thesa peo�le wrong. Mr. Dannenberg said he guessed the,y Weu1d have to be. Mr. Lar� Johnson� 6600 Gentral Ave. N.E, said he wondered if this was being closed because of the probability of someone bein� killed or injured� and if so� in his experience it was justi£iable reason as so�eone�k life xas worth all the cansiderations of sa£ety, : �;) 6/20/66 Mr. Duane Hanson} 365 - 66th Avenua N,E., said that he had signed th� petition to have the service drive opened� if there was no exit or entrance £rom the gr4cery atere� as this would take care of part of their problem i£ there was na service drive. Mayor Airkham said that last October, when he xas Councilman, he had suggested aimply cutttng through the vacant property, but that it was too late now. Mr. James Thayer, 377 - bbth Avenue N.E.� said that the north half •f the Theisen pr�perty is zoned residential, and he asked if a parking lot is put in, coulc Mr. Theisen arbitrar.ily put in access on 66th. Mayor Kirknam � said he did not think he would as he had not asked the Planning Commission. Mr. 'fhayar asked if he could put a curb entr,y into his property if the service road were there, Mayor Kikrham said he would have to have clearance to do so, but he couli. Mr. Swanson from Rice Creek Terrace asked what the City will do with the platted service drive, as it is covered with weeds�nd haa been used as a dump3ng ground for the Highway Department. Mayor Kirkham said the Council _ was not prenared to answer this question, nothin� has been changes as far as that land in concerned� and the weed ordinance onl,y covers nox�.ous xaeds. Several people diacusaed garagea they will have to turn around to have access, Mayor Kirkham said that the City would de what ever they cou�d to help, and xould take the matter o£ the abstracts under adviaement, Mr, Carl Nelson said he thought the City Attorney should be instructed to look into the matt�r, ae the City shmuld have his opinion on wh�fi,her it is legal to clase the road. Mayor Kirkham said that the �ouncil can have the City Attorney da this.

Seconded by Counci3inen Samueleon. Upon a voice votc� there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carr� ed, �1ST AVENUE: Mr. Kurpius explained that the State proposed on the w�st side to detach the £rontage road at the sauth quadrant and k�uild a slip rama which ' would be vnF way ont� se+uth bound T,H. #la7. Star Lene will be built tm £rontage standards ax�d will terminate at 32tesllite Lane' so thnt residents wishing te �e� to Missi�sippi Street will COTRP, out onto T.H. #1�7 or use inner residential streete as the State feels it is necessary to separate the homes. Councilman Wright asked what would happen tca the present service drive in the f.irst block north of 615t and Mr. Kurpius said this �rill tie in�restigated, and may vm tm the fee owner. Councilman Wright said� in other words� there rrill no be north-so�zth traffic on it� and it mzy revert to parking for the apartment ansl Mr. Kurpius said yes. A viQitar to the Coun�31 Meeting askerl whAt residential street thev xould take ta Mississippi Street. Councilma� Harris e�cplained that the Couneil has a proposal before them which they are in the process of discussing� whieh is the pessibilit� of eonnecting Main Street and Sattllite Drive. Mr« Kurpiva said ihat on the eagt side o£ the 61st inf,ersection tbe State prapose�, a Median barrier to the easterly gas station entrances, and they feel detachment of the service drive should be pursued. He said the Construction of the median wiil control tra££ie until the frontage can be detached. Councilman Wright said that the Holiday prorerty is only half o£ the potential co�mnercial strips and even if only a minimum development �ccured, r�id the State favor the s�utheast quadrant going ire as drawn even 3f the riortheast quadrant were impossible� and Mr. Kurpius said yes. Mr. Kurpii�s explained that the State was propoaing to build a sLig ramp �Pf of T.H. �1�� north�ound, and then it wi11 be one way, going north. He said ' the reason for this was that the State did not build slip rampa ontm two- way frontage r�ade anym�re� and Highway #100 in Robbinsdale mr Crystal wsuld be a g�od example of why this does not work. He said that the City �ill try to get an easement from the Moon Plaza to make this modement passible. `Fhe City Atborney asked if the state proposed to conatruct the mqciian on blst ����nue laefore they put in the slip ramp� as he had noticed they wer� putting in curbs, Mr. Kurpius said they are not dming the slip ramp at this time� and the median will be done at thP same time the slip ramp ie dc�ne. MISSIS'�ZPPI STFtFETo Mr. Kurpius said that this was the restl problem area, and he explained to the people that there was no signal syatem that would give waiting traffic justifiable timing� and there would be aome signs you ��� 6/2G/66 could see, that you should not aee which would be c�nfusing. He said they will use an interconnected system which should handle traf£ic very well, so that if a car made the light at Misaissippi he should als• make the signzl at 61st Avenue. He explained that it was a closed system, based on the traffic it counts� and that pedestrians ar� accommodateal, Mr. Kurpius said that the northwest quadrant w�ll be a detached £rontage road in line and across £rom th� southweat. quadrant whach will be two-way then 6l�th will be one way with a slip-on xamp t�+ T.H. #�7. A eisitor askeal how they will cross Missiasippi on this side and Mr. Kurpiva said that it � prvbably eventually trill have to be signalized. Mr. Kurpiu� said s.lso that the Shopping Eenter may find it beneficial tm review their parking pattern according to the ingress and egress of traf£ic, Mr. Kurpius said that in the northeast quadrant, the State had recmmmencle� arad the Couneil passed a resolution t0 delete the service drive, �e ex�lained that the State dmes have controlled access which was purchasad from tha progerty owners. A visitor asked xhy the State could not build an ovex�ass sver Mississippi Street� and Mr. Kurpius said that the Sts.te feels that eventually an interchange xill be necessary, and if they had an infinite amount of funds so they could remove the ahopping center they �ould do it, but they feel ths present plan rrill eperate satiafactorily Yor a number of years. A v�sit�r asked how children were going to get up to Mississippi Street, Mr. Kuxpius agreed that pedestrian contrel was expensive and a real �ral�]em even with a pedestrian brl+lge} as You cannvt makx• the peo�Ie us� it, Councilman Samuelson said that there would be sidewalks on bath sades of tliss3ssippi Street and with the signals it will be a lot safer, and then next year there 5ri11 alac+ be sidewalke on the other side of the highway ta East River Road. Mr. Kurpius said that children should be taught to use the crossing at Missiasippi Street. Coixncilman Wright mentioned that Fridley was o£Sered and tnrned doxn a pedestrian�� bridge through Federal funds, which the City oannot af£ord to do on theix ownr so in ef£ect the Council has been told by the pe�ple they are not interestedm The Red C1w1 parking � lot was disrussed sgain. Councilman Wrigbt said that� Mayor Kirkham�s motion to ga through the parking lot had been suggested before the building was built, and Councilman Wright�s motion had heen for limited access t�n the parking lot� but the otmer knaws that it would become public right- �f-xay in time if he let people go through, unless he raould cl�ee it on� day a year to prrove he owned it� buL the Council aould not ordain that from k,ere. Mr. Kurpius said that going throup�h the parkin� lst was not �ccr- looked, but that it was not feasible. Mr. Meyrers aslced i£ there wa;, room between the building and the propertg line, Mr. Dave Sorenson� an engineer for the Red Oxl Store� said the stare was 30 feet irom the edger and they xould need this room for the trucks unleading. Mr. Kurpiva e�lained that in tlie southeast quadrant the State had d�signed and will build a detachment on 61�th and 5th Street, They also propmsed on ui interim basisx to do something with the land in £ront of the Chr�stensvn property. He said there are limitations on what land is available and there is also a gigantic power pole on this corner. He said that the road would tae slanted so that traffic could still get in, and wo�1d remain a public roadway under the care of the City of Fridley, Mr, Kurpius said the State has had a request frc�m Fridley for a free right turn on the north side oi Miasissippi Streeta but the volwne of traffic there does n�t indicate that it is an essential type of construction. He said they recognize that it is desirable, but it takes addif:ional right- of-way« The �ounty will be grading this week anci it wou1� be impvssihle � to get the right-aP-way fram the Red Owl Store in t�me to build. He said that the State proposes a median on Mississippi Streei, and they have approached Mr. Lundheim on constructing it so the 2�� wide boulevard which exists is elim3natedt which would widen the street in this area by 5� and permit a!�� island. Councilman Samuelson asked i£ it hos te be that wi.de, and Mr. K�rpius said y�s as it must be signeal, and ii' it were any narrower, the aigns woul� be lrnocked flown. Councilman Harris asked i£ there ever was a street baek of Red Owl, uould the islanr3 strip be extended down £urther7 Mr. Kurpiva said that would be up to the County. The Council dzsri�;�r� i,�i=� !'uture possibility of a street going in hehind the Red OwI, and that �ven- tually this $rea may develep commercially as the pr�;:s�i*e could eventualZy be overKhelming. Mr. Xurpius said that in thE soatheast quadrant it was the feeiing of the Department to pursue the detachment and allow 2� between the highVray curb and the curb of the £rontage read. He said that as £ar as turning �� � ��� E/2o/66 back propert;�� the ➢epartment feels they sho+x].d not tid thsmselves to any prmmis�s on what can be done with the right-of-aay. He then showed the, Counc�l a mpa of their proposal for this corner� and there was a discussion at the Council table concerning this corner. Mr. Y.urpius said that there was little +�hance to get this done unda?- the present contract. He said the design staff has a program to follvw, and he thinks the earliest it could be ready Yor cc;nstruLtion would be latar next seasan. ^Ice Council th�nked Mr. Kurpius £or attending, and £or the constructive thinking on the City�o problem. � SECOND READING OF QRDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER S_6.02 (2) (TABLE➢ 6/b/66): Mayor Kirkham zsked if the representatives ot the Outdoor Sign Association were present now.

Counci]anan Wrigh� said it woulci be very unlikely the Council vould go all the wav to r,ourt. He said the other action had been drApp�d bacause the owner had subsi,antial insurance and it got to a point where they had to go to caurt er settle, The Ci#,� At,torney asked if it was the Counoil�s desirt to starG a new action t� use as a lever.
