PUBLIC HEARING ON PRELIMINARY ASSESSMENT ROLL - SANITARY SEWER WATER AND STORM SEWER PRO,TECT -0�88 (ADDENDUM N0. 2): Mayor Kirkham read the Notice of Hearing. The Crty Engineer explained that this pro�ect basically covers the installation of- water and sewer lines in Beech and Elm Street. He said thah there are two proposals for the area. One will only cover the smaller area of Beech and Elm, and the other proposal would be for deeper lines that would be extended to serve a Larger area. The City Engineer said there would be two different assessment costs, as the second proposal would use larger pipe. Mayor Kirkham asked if there wes any- one in the audience that cared to be heard. Mr. HaroLd Harris, 6210 Riverview Terrace, said he did not feel this additional expense was feasible at this time. He said that this property is not developed at this time, and until it can be developed, this would be a waste of taxpayer's � money. He said that there is a ditch that runs across Beech and Elm Streets, and this problem should be taken care of before any upgrading is done. Mr. Harris said that he has put $1700 in a well, which would be a big waste of money for him. He said he would ob�ect to being assessed for a larger pipe for another area that would get the benefit. �� � . � '�. SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING, MARCH 11, 1968 PAGE 2 Mr. Aichard Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace, said he would like to know why ' this is wanted. The Crty Engineer said that buildings were being built in this industrial area without fire protection. He said that before a sewer outlet was not available and the City did not want to put in water as they did not want to dig once for water and once for sewer, but now a sewer was available, and both of these utilities could be put in at the same time. He said that this was the reason these proposals have been brought before the City Council at this time. Mr. Richard Harris asked where the water pipe would be brought in at. The City Engineer said that it would be brought in from 79th Avenue and East River Road, under the railroad tracks. Mr. Harris asked about the possibility of bringing it in another way so it would not have to be �acked under the tracks. The Consulting Engineer explained the original plans for serving this area with a water system. Mr. Richard Harris said he did not see how the laterals can be resolved until the ditch problem is resolved. He said that if an improvement is to be made, the whole thing should be done and not �ust part of it. Council- man Lieb1 said that the Council has discussed this ditch, and it involves a large area, and he asked the people if they were aware the property owners would be assessed for some of the cost. Mr. Harris said that the Spring Lake Park storm sewer is causing the problems, and they should have to pay a large amount of the cost. Councilman Liebl said that the City has not been successful in getting Spring Lake Park to participate in the cost. The City Attorney asked the City Engineer if there was substantial drainage from the state highway. The City Engineer said yes, part of the ' drainage comes from Spring Lake Park and part from the Minnesota Highway Department. Councilman Liebl asked if this pro�ect had been petitioned. The City Engineer said that there had been a petition two years ago, but it was not put in at that time because the sewer outlet was not available, hut it can be provided now if the people want the improvement. He said that usually utilities have to be in before an area wi11 develop, and in case there was ever a fire in the area, the City �aants to be on record as having proposed this improvement to the people. Mayor Kirkham asked if there was anyone in the audience who was in favor of thepro�ect. There was no answer. He asked if there was anyone else in the audience who was against the pro�ect, There was no answer. He asked Mr. Richard Harris, Mr. Harold Harris, and Mr. A1 Johnson, 6211 Riverview Terrace, if they were interested in the City pursuing more vigorously a way to solve the storm water drainage. Mr. Richard Harris said he believed this was tied in with the improvement and has to be solved first. The City Engineer said that if this was the wish of the property owners, a study can be made and brought back on the storm sewer also. Cosncilman Samuelson said he thought this would have been included originally. The City Engineer said it was not included because the cost would be quite high. Councilman Lieb1 pointed out to the property owners that the cost would be quite high, but once the utilities are in, the land will be worth more money. The City Attorney said the City would , have to have a meeting with Spring Lake Park to try and reach some agreement on cost participation, otherwise there would have to be a determination made by some other body on what they contribute and what cost they are responsible for. He said that it may be possible that the Minnesota Highway Department SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING, MARCH 11, 1968 ' should be contacted also. Mayor Kirkham suggested that the hearing be closed and that the Council take the initiative in an action pursuing a study of the storm sewer-watershed area involved, with the idea of resolving the problem with a 3-way cost splitYing between Spring Lake Park, the Minnesota Highway Department and the City of Fridley, He said that a preliminary report can he made and brought back to the Council. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson Co close the Public Hearing on Preliminary Assessment Roll - Sa mtary Sewer, Water and Storm Sewer Pro�ect �'k88 (Addendum ��2). Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the hearing closed at 8;45 P,M. PUBLIC HEARING ON REZONING REQUEST TO REZONE LOTS 16, 17, 18, 1�I,OCK 12, AND LOT 30, BLOCK 21, HYDE PARK ADDITION FROM R-2 TO C-2: ELDON SCHMEDEKE: Mayor Kirkham read the Notice of Hearing. Mr. Schmedeke asked if the City had received any ob�ections to this rezoning. Mayor Kirkham said he had not heard of any ob�ections from the citizens. Mr. Schmedeke said that he has turned in a petition of the people that live within 200 feet of the area, for the Council's consideration. ,- �� �_ , PAGE 3 Mr. Schmedeke briefly reviewed his request. He said that until four years ago, 59th Avenue had gone through to University Avenue, but now he has no access to University. He said he needs the lots to display the vehicles he sells, and if he had �ust bought the property and the people were ' ob7ecting it would be a dif£erent matter, but his business has been there a long time. He pointed out that according to the Planning Commission Minutes, one member had been willing to spot zone for a 4-plex at the other end of this block, but was against his rezoning. He also felt they should have considered �ust his 5 lots as published, but had veered off into a larger area. Mayor Kirkham asked if there was anyone in the audience that wanted to speak in favor of this rezoning. Mr. Schmedeke said that most of the people have been heard from at one time or other. Mayor Kirkham asted if anyone wished to speak in opposition to the rezoning. One visitor said he would like to know if the lots wi11 be used for the same business, or if sma11 commercial stores would be going in. Mr. Schmedeke said that he was a used car dealer and would use these lots for his business as he has since 1948. Councilman Liebl asked if there was anyone opposed to the rezoning of these lots. Mr. Robert Hughes, Chairman of the Planning Commission, said he would have to restate his position. Councilman Lieb1 asked if anyone in the audiance had ever been notified of a rezoning of this property through letter or contact in the past 15 years. One man ans*aered that he had recieved a notice, but he lived in a different area, so it would have been for a difierent rezoning or some pro�ect. Councilman Liebl asked Mr. Schmedel,e under what condition had he bought this property, residential, commercial or induGtrial. Mr. Schmedeke said that he had bought his property with the intent of using it for commercial property, 1 Mayor Kirkham explazned that the Council had some time ago adopted the policy of closing a public hearing, and not making a final determination the same evening as the hearing to give the Council an opportunity to study the findings of a hearing. He also explained that it takes four Councilmen to pass a rezoning ordinance, so this will be done at a later meeting. ;,, �-�," SPECIAL PIIBLIC I�ARING, MARCH 11, 1968 PAGE 4 A visrtor to the Council Meeting asked how many time something has to be , brought up before a determination is made. Mayor Rirkham said that this has bee❑ the first hearing the Council has held on this rezoning request. He said that the requests first go to the Planning Commission and then to the Council, and the Council cannot legally take any action until a public hearing is he1d. Councilman Lieb1 said he would make a motion that action be taken at the next Council Meeting to approve or deny the rezoning request or if it is tabled that Mr. Schmedeke be given a staisfactory explanation of why it is being tabled. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson, Mayor Kirkham said that the other Councilmen should have a chance to review the minutes of the Public Hearing, and although he would also like to see this resolved as soon as possible, he did not think the motion should be worded that the Council must take action at the next meeting, but that it be placed on the agenda, and then some action will be taken. Councilman Liebl said that this had been the intent of his motion. MOTION by Councilman Liebl that consideration of the rezoning request as requested by E1don Schmedeke be placed on the agenda for the Regular Council Meeting of March 18, 1968. Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to close the public Hearing on the Rezoning ' Request to rezoae Lots from R-2 to C-2 as requested by Eldon Schmedeke. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the h�aring closed at 9:03 P.M. CONSIDERATION OF CITY ATTORNEY REPORT REGARDING DRAINAGE OF SHADY OAK ADDITION - ANDREW P. GAWEL CONTRACTING: The City Attorney said he had not been present at the last Council Meeting, but the Council discussion had been relayed to him by Mr. Gibbs. He said that as he understands the question, it is whether a developer in proposing a plat can do any construction that would block a neighbors natural drainage, and his answer would be that he cannot. He said this would be a matter the City would not be involved in, but hetween two property owners. He said that if the property has a street that is to be dedicated, the City should be certain the street wi11 not block or prevent the natural drainage. He said the City Engineer should study this carefully, to make sure there are adequate culverts or other means provided so that any streets in the plat do not block the natural drainage or cause damage to any neighboring property. Councilman Samuelson said he felt that if the drainage system is to be altered, the property owner should provide an alternate means of draining the property, and no alternate plans has been presented to the Council. The City Engineer said that he had pointed out at the last meeting, that to really solve this problem, the whole storm sewer system will have to be put in. He said that the developer only wants to build one house and would be willing to ' deepen some existing holes to retain more water. Mr. Gawel said that they have committed themselves to one lot, and are not interested in the others at this time. Councilman Liebl asked the City Engineer what could be done at a minimum cost at this time. The City Engineer said there will be problems with any SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING, MARCH 11, 1968 ' minimum effort. Councilman Liebl asked if Mr. Gawe1 owned enough of the land to petition fpr the storm sewer. The City Engineer said that he would not own enough of the Land as the drainage area is quite large. Mayor Kirkham said that Zf the developer with the help of the City Engineei could develop a lot without creating additional problems for someone else, this would be a di£ferent matter, but he said he could not agree with issuing a building permit if it is only going to compound problems. � _�; PAGE 5 The Council studied the plat map with relation to the elevation of the lots, and the direction in which the lots will drain. The City Attorney said that Minnesota 1aw states that a person can get rid of the water on his property in a reasonable fashion, as long as he does not damage ad�oining proper_ty, but he cannot cut off the natural drainage of another person's property, or he will be sub�ect to a lawsuit. Councilman Liebl said he wanted to be faxr to the developer and to the other property owners also, and suggested Mr. Gawel work with the City Engineer to find a way to resolve this problem. The City Attorney said that this man should have the same right� as the property owner across the street from him, so it would seem to him that if a method could be developed so that the water is not drainiag across Ferndale, it would be fair to permit this developer to build on his property. The C�ty Engineer said there is a 12 foot difference in elevation, and they can get the water around by surface. He said the only thing will be that the amount of runoff wi11 increase. � The City Manager suggested that the Council cou11 grant a permit with the stipulation that there is a drainage plan that satisfactorily resolves the drainage problem and does not create a problem for any neigh6or, and that the responsibility for any problems would belong to the developer entirely. He suggested that the developer could be requested to sign an agreement absolving the City of any responsibility. Councilman Liebl said that since the Councilman of the 2nd Ward was not present, he would suggest they table this item until the next Gouncil Meeting, and in the meantime Mr. Gawe1 could work out a proposal to present for the Council's consideration. Mayor Kirkham said he agreed the Council should wait for Councilman Sheridan. Mr. Gawe1 said he was willing to go along with whatever is necessary to solve the problem, but he did not want to keep coming again and again. Mayor Kirkham reminded Mr. Gawel that a determinatlon had been made at ong� time, when the permit had been denied, and at this time the Council is reconsidering that determination, and is willing to continue reconsideration as long as there is something new to consider. Mr.Gawel asked when the overall storm sewer system will be going in. Mayor Kirkham said that no determination has been made on this because of the size of the area and the cost of the pro�ect. Councilman Liebl said that the Council is very seriously concerned about this pmhlem, from both the developers and ad�oining property owners stand- point. He said he would vote for a permit if tilr. Gawel could come up with some way that this could be done. Mr. Gawel saZd he will discuss thls , further with the City Engineer, 6ut he did not think he would be causing any problem by building. MOTION by Councilman Lieb1 to table the consideration of drainage of Shady Oak Addition until the next Regular Council Meeting of March 18, 1968 Seconded by Councilman Samuelson. Upon a voice vote, there heing no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. � � � , � G �, SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING, MARCH 11, 1968 DISCUSSIDN OF SIGN PERMiT - NAEGELE - T.H. �k65; MOTION by Gouncilman Samuelson to table this discussion until the next regular Council Meeting of March 18, 1968. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. POSTING OF LOAD LIMITS ON STREETS IN AREA EAST OF CENTRAL AVENUE AND SOUTH OF MISSISSIPPI STREET: The City Engineer said that the City will be posting load limits until May 15th to protect the City streets. He said that he and the City Managex had visited the Lenny Cochran property on the southwest corner of Rice Creek Road and Stinson Boulevard because of complaints of hauling. He said there is an alteration permit required for this hauling, and Mr. Cochran did make application for the permit and it was approved by the Council, '6ut he has refused to put up the required bond for the permit. The City Attorney said that he was in the process of getting a declaratory �udgment on the validity of the ordinance and how it applied to Mr. Cochran, The City Engineer said that this is being brought before the Council so they are aware of what the administration is doing to encounter this problem� and that these roads will be posted. Councilman Lieb1 asked if this was being done because the streets are being torn up, or because Mr. Cochran is in violation of the ordinance. The City Engineer said that his trucks wouid be tearing up the street, Tkne City Ma[�agar saic1 that�this is' being,done as the re5ule bfi ca?ls about�the t�ea�y t�uck� gaing-�1r1 a�.d o�nt, �,, , MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to concur with the recommendation of the Administration and that the additional stx�ts such as Stinson Boulevard be posted as requested, Seconded by Councilman Liehl. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carrie�l unanimously. DISCUSSION OF PAOPOSED ORDINANCES REGARDING THE BOARD OF HEALTH, CLEANING OF PREMISES, AND PROVIDING FOR THE SANITARY STORAGE OF GARBAGE: The Gity Attorney had prepared three proposed ordinances for the Council's consideration. He reviewed the sections of the City Code which they would repeal or amend. He said that if the Council wished they could pa� them at first reading this a�,e€ling, and befoxe the next Council Meeting they could compare them with the present wording of the code. He said that one of the changes has to do primarily with the Board of Health and its responsibility on making inspections. He said that the Ordinance amending Section 3$.081 deletes the language that presently states that refuse which has remained on the premises for more than one week is declar�d a nuisance and shall be abated. He said this being deleted because of the possible interpretation that garbage has to be on the premises a week before it is in violation. He said that the Ordinance amending Chapter 37 requires some additional corzections to Section 37.01, and can be adopted at first reading sub�ect to that amendment if the Council wishes, and it will be typed in for the second reading, Mayor Kirkham asked for the ruling on taking action on the Ordinances with only three Councilmen present. The City Attorney said that three votes are sufficient except for changes in zoning, and these ordinances can be passed on first reading PAGE 6 � ' 1 SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING, MARCH 11, 1968 r/ y/ � .� M ] PAGE 7 � Councilman Samuelson said that these ordinances do not provide the Police Department with a tagging provision as discussed in the City Manager's memorandum to the Council. The City Manager said that he had indicated that a tagging ordinance would be considered later on, and a11 these wi11 be tied together in the tagging ordinance.

SIVERTS: PAGE 8 The City Engineer said that the Gity is acquiring a part of this property from Mr, and Mrs Ing Siverts. The City Attorney said that the City had an option to purchase a portion of the low land which is shown as a triange on the map in the southwest corner. IIe said that in addition to this, Mr. Siverts will be coming to the Council with a request to plat or subdivide his property. He said that the map has previously shown a road easement dedication of 66 feet right-of-way from County Road H to the property north of Mr. Siverts The City Attorney said that the deed theCity is considering would extend the dedication to the City so that the right-of-way would extend southerly some 185 feet from his northerly pxoperty line. He said that this proposal is in conjunction with the future development of his property, and he is offering it to the City without cost to the City. Councilman Samuelson asked the City Attorney if he has checked the deed. The City Attorney said that the legal description the surveyor had used, was the one used on the deed. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to accept the deed from Gerta Jean Siverts and Ing. T. Siverts as an easement for roadway purposes. Seconded by Council- man Liebl. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously. The City Engineer pointed out that although the City is accepting the easement, the City will not be maintaining the road unless the property owner r-equests a permanent improvement, and then there wi11 either have to be a cul-de-sac or a connection to some other road for the moving of equipment, The City Attorney said that this point was we11 taken, and the acceptance of the dedication is not to be taken as an indication that a street will be constructed immediately. The City Engineer said that some people think that after a road dedication, the City should open up the road and maintain it as a gravel road. RESOLUTION PERTAINING TO LIQUOR STUDY OF HORWATH AND HORWATH: Mayor Rirkham read the proposed resolution to the audience, and said that he would urge the adoption of the resolution. MOTION by Councilman Samuelson to adopt the resolution pertaining to liquor study of Horwath and Horwath. Councilman Liebl said that he though the first WHEREAS paragraph would be more truthful if the words, "because of the urging of the Chair" were added, and he said he would ob�ect to the last NOW TtIEREFORE� paragraph, because he felt Mayor Kirkham or Councilman Harris had taken a public position for ' 1 ' SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING, MARCH 11, 1968 � private liquor at a party caucus meeting. He asked what the purpose of the resolution was. Councilman Liebl said he had made the motion in July to contract the study with Horwath & Horwath, which was passed on a 4 to 1 vote. He said he had done so because Mayor Kirkham explained there was some urgency so the report could be back before the election. He said he thought this should be in the resolution, because if he had not been urged, he would not haoe made the motion. He said he had taken the Mayor`s explanation at face value, but it had not materialized, and he asked why it had taken so long. Mayor Kirkham said that no one could answer why except the people that made the study. He said that he is urging the adoption of this resolution this evening, but he did not urge for the agreement the Council entered into. A11he had done was bring the matter before the Council. He said he did not understand Councilman Liebl's question on the last paragraph. Councilman Liebl said that some Councilman,either the Mayor or Councilman Aarris, had taken a public stand on this issue at a City Convention, and by taking a stand, he felt they pre�udiced the committee. Councilman Samuelson said they were not tying their position to the report. Mayor Kirkham said he believed that Councilman Lieb1 had written an article in the newspaper in which he had taken a stand opposed to private liquor. Councilman Lieh1 said that this had been his quarterly report, and he had said he wanted to make sure what private liquor would do. Mayor Kirkham read the last paragraph out loud again, and said he did not believe Councilman Liebl understood what it said, as it did not reflect on any Council member's opinion. Councilman Liebl asked if they were saying that there were errors ' in the report. Mayor Kirkham said this was true, and this is what it says in the resolution. Mayor Kirkham asked the Finance Director if the Horwath bi11 has been paid. The Finance Director said that �ust the retaining fee has been paid, plus the bi11 for the extra copies the Council ordered. Councilman Samuelson said that this resolution would �ustify the lack of payment if it is passed. ., „ i n, PAGE 9 The motion to adopt the resolution failed for lack of a second. Mayor Kirkham said they should see what the other two Councilmen have to say. VISITOR• Mr. Richard Harris, 6200 Riverview Terrace, asked if there are load limrts on dirt roads into industrial areas. The City Engineer said that the load limits are posted, and if they are not posted, it is safe to say there are no restric- tions , Mrs. Harris said there is a barricade across the street between the Mississippi River and East River Road, approximately between Alden and Riverview Terrace, which has been there for awhile and is not even 1it. The City Engineer said that if there is a broken water main in winter, the street cannot be repaired, but when it is warmer the blacktop wi11 be fixed. He said that the people were free to ca11 in at any time, and let the Admnistration know of these problems. Mayor Izirkham said that this problem will be taken care of as soon� as possihle. ' Mr. Harold Sullivan, 522-66th Avenue Northeast, said that 7th Street going north from Mississippi Street is getting to be a speedway, and he asked if ."1 P� i � � � F' � SPECIAL PUBLIC HEAAING, MARCH 11, 1968 there was some king of solution for this problem. He said that in the morning when the children are waiting for the bus is the most dangerous time. There was a discussion about gutting up a stop sign, but the Council felt they want to slow down traffic, but did not want more stop signs. Mayor Kirkham asked the City Manager if he would have the Police Department use the radar north of Mississippi Street on 7th Street for the next week.
