Craig 3ohnson and Mr. Bill Dolan represented the petitioners. According to the site plan, the actual land area is 17 acres which would allow 296 units, but the actual units on the plans are 294. The total required parking is 441, and their actual parking is open parking 324, garage parking 182, making a total of 506. A rental level of $145.00 to $185.00 is contemplated. PlanninQ Co�ission Meeting - Februarv 27 1969 p��Q Z As far as the utilities are concerned� the Engineering Assistant said that sewer and water are on 79th Avenue and sewer on East River Road. The sewer lines are on the East side of East River Road. This portion of the sewer system does not run into the Riverview Heights Lift Station, but goes direct into a gravity line on East River Road. In answer to the question of the use of the property North and South, he said 79th Avenue has apartment houses with probably three or four single family dwellings. The zoning on the North is multiple and as you work towards the tracks, light industrial. Orginally the zoning of this entire tract from 77th Avenue to 79th Avenue was multiple dwelling except for a 200 foot strip of M-1 along the tracks. A part of it was changed. to co�ercial and industrial. Mr. Myhra said that normally the Co�nission gets rezoning requests the other way around -- from residential to co�ercial. He wondered, in this instance, why we are moving from co�ercial to multiple. To the South we have co�nercial and industrial. Is it because right now con�ercial types of things are not mw ing? If this were put into multiple, this would tend to landlock the zoning. Mr. Dolan said he felt that the uses to the South are somewhat disconnected because of the creek. With the uses on the other two sides being residential, they felt this use of the land would fit in with the neighborhood. They had not looked into a co�nercial shopping center because they felt the area would be a little too small. Mr. Myhra said one of the things he, personally, would find objections to, and probably also the people across the street, is putting the garages facing the highway. Mr. Dolan said they thought of that, also, and had considered a bxick wall. The Chairman had asked if there was anyone present in the audience who was interested in this rezoning request, and,until Mr. Paul Burkholder came in, there was none. He was asked his opinion and he said he thought it was a good project. It was probably the best use of the land and much better than a warehouse. ' I�TION by Mittelstadt, seconded by Jensen, that the Planning Coffinission close the public hearing of the rezoning request, ZAA #69-03, N. Craig Johnson and Committee of Five to rezone the southeast corner of 79th Way and East River ' Road fram C-2S and M-1 to R-3. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. ' � , , Mr. Myhra said he felt a little uneasy about this rezoning, probably because in the paet, for this type , dealing with �ltiples, he felt that getting the opiniona of the people within the 300 feet required in,the appli- cation helped the Co�rission to make up their minds. Going fram co�ercial to mxltiple, he wondered if the matter of revenue for the owner should not be considered, also. Are we creating a hardship on the owner? He found it was a difficult answer to give in that he was not certain co�ercial was suitable, but also, at the present time, he was not too enthusiastic about the proposal. Mr. Mittelstadt said this was his precinct and that in the past the people objected to comnercial, as they didn't want warehouses or that type of structures, but would like this better. This area will never go R-1 because of the railxoad tracks. 9 Planning Comnission Meeting - February 27, 1969 Page 3 The Chairman admitted that he, too did not feel he was ready to make up his mind this evening. Further, he would like to see the Coimnission supplied with the past history on the xezoning in this area. Mr. Jensen agreed that a little research would be in order. The Engineering Assistant volunteered that the delay at the Planning Com- mission level will not delay the hearing before Council. MDTION by Jensen, seconded by Myhra, that the Planning Commission table for further consideration Che rezoning request, ZOA �69-03, N. Craig Johnson and Co�ittee of Five the xezoning of the Southeast corner of 79th Way and East River Road to be rezoned from C-2S and M-1 to R-3, to the meeting of March 13, 1969 to allow the Co�ission additional time to atudy the request and to a11ow Darrel Clark to sesrch some of the past history of the axea. Upon a voice vote� all voCing aye, Che motion carried unanimously. 2. CONTINUED RHZONLNG RSRUEST: ZOA �k69-01, PEMTOM, ING.: That part of SE� of Section 24 that lies North of Highway �100 right of way. Rezone from R-1 to Planned Development. The sudience was informed by Chalrman Srickson that the public hearing had been closed but the floor would be open for discussion by members of the Cou�iasion. Also, if Che members of the sudience had any questions, they would be answered. ' A petition had been received circulated by Mr. Aho on February 22, 1969. It was agreed thaC no action was neceasary by the Planning Commission, but the petition should be passed onto the Council. � ' , � � , 3. , , Chairman Erickson, referring to Che letter on Page 20 of the Agenda, written at his suggestion asking the County Auditor for the status of certain lots, said this was the land lying north of the progosed Planned Development and eaet of Grace High School, The West Half of Lot 49 was single family residence, Lot 39 a private owner, Lot 44 two homes, and the East Half of Lot 49, Lots 40, 45, 50, 51, 4b were listed to Arvid E. Carlson, but were probablq sold in 1967 to Rodney Billman. Lots 41, 47, 48 and 52 are presently tax forfeit to the State of Minnesota. Inasmuch as Mr. Fitzpatrick would preaently arrive, and the fact that he is the Chairman of the Parks and Recrea- tion Comnission, it was decided to wait until he arrived to see if the City might be interested in these lots. MDTION by Myhra, seconded by Mittelstadt, that the Planning Commission table Item #2 until later in the meet+.ng and consider confizmation of the Public Heaxinga (Items 3, 4 and 5). Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. (Continued on Page 4) . Lot 4, s Subdivision Mr. Jensen explained that he had talked to Darrel Clark relative to thia request last week. This land is adjacent to a proposed plat which was passed to the Plats 6 Subdiviaions-Streets & Utilities Subcmrmittee last year (South- hampton Second Addition) and is still in an inconclusive stage. The petitioner had heea asked and agreed to gather some additional information in the neighbor- 10 � � � ' PlanninQ Cosrmission Meetixut - Februaxv 27, 1969 PaAe 4 hood. This area is exceedingly difficult because �t is uery xugged an3 wooded. There are definite problems to be consideaed. He zecoc�ended a£sir amount of time be allowed for the Subcarmnittee study and perhaps without delaying it unduly, it could be put off for a month.

Mr. Jensen stated that he remwe himself from further consideration of this ltem inasmuch as he did have a conflict of iaterest. There were no objec- tions and the request was granted. Chairman Erickson read a prepared two sheet sumoary which he had composed. When he came to Item #7 (Use of the area for R-3 shall be limited to areas---) he refezred to the map showing uses of the propoaed development. He suggested uae oi R-3 being left in areas 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9, and area 5 in the southweat corner should not be R-3. Mr. Fitzpatrick entered. li L 12 Plannina Comoission Meetin2 - Februarv 27, 1969 Pa�e 5 � Representing Pemtom, Inc. were Robert Engstrom and Edmund Contoski. Responding to the suggestion of re�wing #5 from R-3, Mr. Engstrom said he could not say positively what their reaction would be to this suggestion ' as it is a joint venture with Borson Construction, Inc. and they came in with a 6.5 density, which is relatively low. Their plans called for eight units to the acre which was one of the reasons why they did not put townhouses ' there originally. They were talking substantially price range and did feel the freeway traffic could be a factor in selling individual homes. , t ' ' Chaixman Erickson said if they would want to replace that density in an Easterly area of #3, he did not think he could say at this time whether or not he would vote for it. A member of the audience said that if Hathaway were cut off, then there would be even moxe traffic on Regis Lane. Chaisman Exickson replied that he didn't know how you can cut Regis Lane off in that area no matter what is built up there. Another citizen wondered if a service road could be established going East adjacent to the freeway wer to Silver Lake Road, but he wae infornned it would be tremendously difficult because of the terrain. The question was asked what role the Planning Commission would play in , the closing of the Matterhom bridge. Chairman Erickson answered that he did not know whether or not consideration would be given to closing that bridge especially as it relates to Fire and Police protection. ' ' , � � ' , ' ' , Mr. Myhra referred to the paper presented by Chairman Erickson by saying he did a good job, particularly on Items 1 and 2 on the first page. However, he did not think they had a complete answer to #1. He gueased the stickler is �2 -- will the development have an advexae effect on the adjacent reaidential property. He had made aome inquiry and understood it does not have any adverse effect. He said you make a judgment on belief, but then you do not have the answer until it ic a^-�e. Once again, it seemed the owners should no[ be werlooked. The Chairman ,nade a good point that the City has been using the land as a park, that is the residents. We can hardly expect someone to sit with valuable property, pay taxes and expect they ought to furnish this kind of fscility for the residents. Mr. Mittelatadt said that he'd like to make a few points which he did not believe have been thought about. It is by a study of the Univeraity of Minnesots that multip?: dwellings of one or two bedrooms do pay for their way in a tax structure. On thr average, tne taxes to the school accrued from multiple dwellings of this type would be about $165.00 per child annually. Their cost to the school ia about $54.00, so you can see it does pay for itself. Now this area is in School District #13. In the City of Fridley, School District #13 is about 23$ or 269 of the total area of Fridley. Therefore, the adminiatrative cost, which would come from the entire City of Fridley in tex�s of aervicea of fire and police protection. would have a major impact on the other two school districts -�14 and #16. In other words, I am saying that 76X of Fridley would have a municipal burden, an increase in a municipal tax base becauae of the high population density in this area. The major portion of the achool diatrict is in Columbia Heights, the services a=e being rendered by the City of Fridley, therefore, in texms of any school tax gain, the major portion of Fridley would not benefit. 13 Planninrz Comnission Meetinz - Februarv 27 1969 Page_6 Mr. Myhra asked him if he were saying that this area would not pay enough taxes to pay for its municipal services? Mr. Mittelstadt replied that he was saying that the taxes collected from here go mainly to District #13 schools and yet the municipal boundaries would include all of Fridley and all would pay the tax to �nicipal services. Mr. Myhra said that, if it is self-sugport- ing, it wouldn't matter, would it? Mr. Mittelstadt replied that the services would increase and he didn't feel it would eupport itself. Chairman Erickson said that it seems then that what we �st ask ourselves is what municipal services are going to be increased because of the develop- ment of the area. I presume you are considering police and fire and street maintenance, yet I find this development of the area needing far fewer streets than if it would be under single family. Mr. Mittelstadt's answer was that if it were single family, the number of unita would be down to around two or three per acre versus S.5 on this concept. Mr. Erickson said that if it were single family, the streets would increase in length by two or three times and would increase the maintenance budget by that. There is one important iCem, Mr. Mittelstadt said, that no one has com- mented on so far this evening and it is that approximately 977> of the public Yhat we have heard from are against this proposal. That fact cannot be ignored. Their main argument, I feel� is the traffic problem and that argument has the biggest impact with me. Fridley streets are not ready for this volwne of Craffic nor are its traffic patterns. Mr. Myhra said he though that was a good point. And, Mr. Mittelstadt continued, there is another item to consider -- the future of an emironment like Pemtom's. For the first ten or fifteen years, I am sure the project will remain in reasonable condition, but as yeara go by, it could very well become a ghetto area with problems for Fridley that would be unbelieveable. Mr. Myhra said that one of the objections of the residents is for monetary seasons. He thought that if someone wished to sell his house, it might be easier to sell if he had an "Innsbruck Sth" next to hie property, but then this brings us right back to Item 7. What about the owner? What rights does he have? Does it mean because these people would like their residences to incresse in value, he should be denied some type of rezoning? Chaix�an Erickson said he had no sympathy for the owner of the property ' inasmuch as he bought the land under R-1, but because of the fact the property ie difficult and expenaive to develop, he personally felt the plan was a beneficial one and one which would allow the land to remain as it is. � , �J ' , Mr. Myhra said he took eacception, saying he reslized people have said "I purchased with the idea in mind it was R-1 and did not expect it to change", but once again they must recognize conditions do change. Zf conditions have changed, he did not think they should set their thoughts back. Then what bear- ing does past history have on it? At this point, we stop considering all changes. It still gets dawn to conflict of intereats of the three parties imolved: the owner, people whc '.'••� in the surrounding area and the Planning Coffiis e ion. Of sll the co�ents he heard at the public hearings, Mr. Mittelstadt said the only one he felt that really heLd weight, was traffic pattern. Chairman � ' 14 Planninta Commission MeetinR - Februarv 27, 1969 PaSe 7 $rickson said that in any type of development, we are going to have traffic. There followed a short discussion on traffic pattern. ' Mr. Fitzpatrick said he could not add anything to what had been said. He did not under estimate the amount of objections and the unanimity of the group of property owners directly to the West and he agreed with the things that ' are being said and, perhaps, the most legitimate is traffic. As plans go, he thought this one was a good one, although Don (Mittelstadt) has brought up a question whether we are ready for any plans in this area. He believed , rezoning Planned Development does give the Planning Co�ission continued con- trol of the development of the area. All these things have been said and it ie a matter of balance, weighing one with another. Mr. Myhra said that this bringa us hack to the points of Chaixman Erickson's co�ents. 1. Thinking of access to Matterhorn Drive from Hathaway and the closing of a street, what is the policy in the closing of the streets? Darrel Clark answered that there was no right of way and there is no etreet theze. The street would have a 12z grade which would not be too goocl for an accesa to a high density area. This is a State Aid route to connect Matterk�orn Drive to Central Avenue. 2. Matterhorn has been under considexation for five or six years. Arthur Street has been dedicated down to the North line and with no real plan where it would go from there. 3. In getting acceptance from New Brighton for two streets connecting to Silver Lake Road with the neiQhboring veunicipality would have to be im•estigated. The &igineering Assiatant sa:..; that the CiCy has aet no pxecedence raith 2iew Brighton. They have connected up to Gardena and made it a through etreet [o Silver Lake Road, a:id also have connected up with itieaissippi Street. Appasently thei= inte=est in agrerment are running with ours. 4. Can we change setbacks as part of a plan? Chaizman Erickaon said we can make stipulations, iE necessary. Aeferring back to It� #3, he said he had talked to the manager of New Brighton and they are waiting until we take action. The suggestion was made by the City Manager that a joint co�nittee may have to co� out of it. He can anticipate probablq same problems with the joint uCility situation. Mt. Myhxa said he made another note. Whenever they have atarted talking ' about large developmenta, they get im+olved with utilities. Danel Clark eaid there ia accesa to a large transmission watesmain running up Matterhorn Drive. FYOm the standpaint of sewer, we cwld not handle this whole area at this ' density. There has been some correspondence with New Brighton and it could be solved either by retention or perhapa all of the sewage go to Neta Brighton. Mr. MitCelstadt asked if the City had made studies in Che area for the develop- � ment of streeCS and utilities and the Bngineering Assiatant replied theee studiea are not made until the a--aer requests them. Answering a question, he said the werall density of Fridley is 6.5. The Conaulting Sngineer of Pemtom's auggested three solutions: retention tank and discharge during off ' peak hours; put part in Fridley and part in New Brighton; or all go to New Brighton. All three plaas were reported to be economical ae far as the develop- ment of the property was concexned. , ' 15 Plannint� Coumiasion Meetin� - Februarv 27, 1969 PaAe 8 Mr. Engstrom said that, regarding hia presentation to the Planning Co�is- sion of New Brighton, they are in no poaition to do anything in New Brighton until Fridley has given a decision. Regarding the denaity, Section 3 on the map, they have to study quite carefully because of the freeway and the topography of the area. He said they would wozk with the road on the West. The following letter from Mr. Rodney Billman, dated Febn►ary 7, 1969, addressed to the Ylanning Coffinission was read by Mr. Myhra: "Gentl�en: Some one and one-half years ago I stated to a Planning Couc�ission meeting that it was not feasible to build peraonal residencea on the North Innsbruck area for the following reasons: 1. Difficulty of landscaping tenain, and 2. Cost of developing, particularily utility installations. I am atill of the same opinion. The price one would have to charge a prospective home owner for a home site in this area would, in my opinion, be such that there would be no market for the sale of such home sites. I have not authorized any one to use my name to express an opinion different than the abwe. Very truly yours, Rodney W. Billman per LJM co. Gary Carlson, Borson Construction 1600 East 78th Street" Mr. Myhra said the point he wanted to make was, if this was an actual fact, he tended to agree with Mr. Billman, and believes the Planning Co�ieaion will be faced constantly with developmental plans. Thoae people vho have worked with Pemtom, Inc. (this includes the neighboring co�uaities� have been pleased with the kind of de�•elopment they have and how carefully they are preaerving the natural terrain. A citizen asked if these plans were adopted, have you fornulated what plan to uae? Is there any plan as to how it could be altered? Chairmsn ErickE-n az...wered, 'Tio� exactly as it is very difficult ta say � at this time what an exact etreet pattern would be". As far ae he was con- cerned, he did not believe that the traffic to the Weat was going to be in- creased any greater than it would be with single family development. North � and East would be easy to solve. Cars pex unit would be 1'� in a multiple. He was certain they were talking about 2 or 3 in single family type in that area. , ' ' A citizen asked about Matterhorn being a state aid street. The Engineer- ing Assistant said .hat it is a designated atate aid route. The design has not been made for Matterhorn. Abaut 20Z of Fridley streets are designated as State Aid. Every year the City goes wer the liat, and for varioua reasans, some are re�oved and other added. 16 Plazming C�ission Meetinrt - Februarv 27, 1969 PaRe 9 Mr. Bergman asked for clarification of the parties involved in the develop- ment of this area,as P¢mtom, Inc. is the only one mentioned. Borson Construction, incorporated is the construction firm and has the other half of the project. Chairman Erickson said there is nothing to say that Pemtom will be the only one wor.king on'this development. It is possible the development can change. This is something we know can happen, but he felt the ordinance will take care of that. Pemtom, Inc. is building the single family townhouses and Borson the apartment buildings. MpTION by Myhra, seconded MittelsCadt, that [he Planning Co�ission recoffiend to the Council apprwal of the rezoning request, ZOA #69-01, Pemtom, Incorporated being that part of the SE'y of Section 24 that lies North of Highway �100 right of way to be rezoned from R-1 (single family dwelling areas) to PD (Planned Development) with the stipulations as presented in the Cen (10) points listed by Chairman Erickson as follows: 1. Access to Matterhorn Drive from Hathaway be eliminated but utility easements be retained. 2. Matterhorn Drive and Arthur Street m�at be extended and imprwed to Gardena. 3. The two streets shown on the proposal connecting with Silver Lake Road must be dedicated and accepted hy New Brighton together with an agreement to improve such streets within a reasonable time. 4. Construction on the East side of Matterhorn must be set back at least 60 feet from the street right of way. 5. Interior street right of ways �st be at least 66 feet. 6. The density of the town house acreages shall not exceed 4.2. No increase shall be allowed in other proposed densities. 7. Use of the area for R-3 shall be limited Co Areas 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9, and area 5 in the Southwest corner should not be R-3. S. Apprwal of New Brighton for zoning of any areas werlapping municipal boundaries. 9. Apprwal of the zoning does not necessarily mean apprwal of the proposed plan, except that the tawnhouse concept is apprwed. .0. Receipt of any agreement from the petitioner and owners which the City Council and City Attorney decide would be needed to prohibit any major change in density at a later date, without the consent of affected residents. Mr. Myhra asked to make a catement explaining his position. He said, "Z realized when I made this motion that I am displeasing a good 99% of the people in the audience. I don't think we ever make these kinds of motions lightly and I'm sure you will agree that we have given this one a lot of consid- eration. This is not so �ch a plea for your sympathy for me as a little bit of understanding of my purpose in roaking this motion. As I told you earlier in my remarks, as I see it, there are at least three somewhat conflicting interests 1� Plannintt Co�ission MeetinQ - Februarv 27, 1969 Page 10 and it ia nice when you can look at one of these interests and say, in oux judgment, it overrides the others by such a margin that you can, without any fear of having done the wrong thing, go ahead and make that motion or make the wish for pleasing a particular par�y. "As I look at this, I said earlier in my remarks I think that at least part of the concern here is a psychological concern on your part and, honestly, that mist be considered. As one lady expressed it the other night, she would like to have an Edina on the north in her backyatd, and I think that is a valid wish, but I am not so certain that it is the kind of thing that we can make motions on at the Planning Crnrmission. I think that we have to look at the whole base. So it gets down pretty much to this, and this is my reason for making the motion. I think in the balence, it is my feeling that the intexest of the City, as I see the interest of the City, at least this situation fits tightly in this balance, and I guess what it gets down to then is that I would like to make this motion, I would like to have it pasaed by this Body, in orde= that it gets to the Council where we get moYe people thinking on it. I think I could sit here two more weeks, two more meetings, and not be any furthez along in my own mind. It seems to � that we are an advisory body and that at this time, at least as far as I am concerned, it is appropriate to move this aloag to the City Council and get the thinking of another body on it. And, of course, as you people know, once again theze are public hearings, and you people have had exoerience in presenting your case and it aeems to me that it givea you a chance again to make a pYesentation to another body of people, and in your case, perhaps hope that they will reverse our position. "There is one comment I would like to see carried on to the Council if this body should vote in favor of the motion and it is that the Council should be aware that there is a sewage problem in the area that should be solved before any development can take place." Mr. Myhra added that he thought it was importanC enough, if agreeable with the Planning Co�ission members, to include it as Stipulation �11. Mr. Myhra amended his 1�TION to add: Upon a voice vote, Jensen abstaining, Mittelstadt voting nay, Myhra, Fitzpatrick and Erickson voting sye, the motion passed. A citizen asked if he could have a copy of the Chairman's Suamary. ChaiY- man Erickson said that he had no objection to the public receiving it, and he did not believe the City would object. A citizen asked if the petitions presented to the Planning Commission would be passed on to the Council. He was informed all the petitians would be forwarded to the Council together with the petition presented this evening, but not received. The Planning Co�iasion decided to pass the Chairman's Su�ary to the Council. Mr. Engstrom stated the project would probably be canpleted within four years. � ' L� 1 '7 1 1 i � � � � � � � � 18 , PlanninR Conmission Meetin8 - February 27, 1969 Page 11 , 1�TION by Fitzpatrick, seconded by Mittelstadt, that the Planning Co�iasion, referring to the tax forfeit parcels, Lots 41, 47, 48 and 52, Auditor's Sub- division �92, reco�end to Council that the County Auditor be requeated to � withhold these parcels from sale for a period of one year from now in order that the Fridley Park Department may review them.

MEMO DATE; March 5, 1969 MEMO NUMBER: #72 CM #69-02 RE: Water, Sewer and Drainage Facilities in Onaway Park, North of Osborne Road and West of T.H. #47 21 On June 10, 1468 the Fire Prevention Bureau wrote a letter to the City Council in regard to their concern about letting industrial buildings being built in the Onaway Park area without the protection of any water facilities. It was indicated in their letter that the Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee-recommended approval of seven industrial buildings in Onavtay Park at thej,r meeting of June 5, 1968. The F�,re Preventxon Bureau urged the CounciL to take appropriate actj;on to �rovide essenti,al water supply servi,ces for adequate fire suppxessxon �,n th�,s area. The Cj,ty Counci.l held a�ubl�c hear�,ng for tvater and setaer improv- ment� in this genexal area on Maxch 11, 1968 and the improvement was Orde�ed in b� Counc�,l on Se�t, 3, 1968, The Council held a hearing for _ tiLe dxai.nage facilities j,n thi,s axea on the lOth day of June, 1968 and dj.xected the adm�nistrati,on to negotiate �tith the Village of Spring Lake Paxk and the i�fa.nnesota Ii�ghi�ay De�t. for cost participation for thei,x sha7ce of the dra�.nage. As the Counc�,l �tas adv�,sed earl�er that the City Administration has txied to set up meetings wi,tli S�ring Lake Park a number of times without anY succe�s and tIie Ci,ty Attorner indicated to Council that the only 7�ecpuxse aya�lahle to the CitY Councj,l m�ght be to file a suit against S�x�;ng Lake �ark i,n tfiis regard. Recently we have some additional requests for building permits in this general area. ' We would like to know the Council's feeling on proceeding with the water and sewer facilities in this area at this time and also designating which of the three drainage plans should be followed, so that some of ' the minimum work would be done as soon as possible to relieve the dangerous flooding problems. I feel that it will be a lengthy process to resolve the cost ' participation by Spring Lake Park and Minnesota Highway Dept., and I am sure the Council does not want these developments to be held up in this area until this is resolved. , ��/P,� � c,u 1� r ; e 1-4� S M M.

Minneapolis, Minaesota 55421 Re; Drainage Problems, Onaway Add. SS S88 - Addendum No. 3 Desr Mr. Ankrum: The above referenced drainage problem was outlined under preliminary report entitled "Storm Water Drainage Facilities Project 88 Addendum No. 3"� dated April 30, 1968. A public hearing was conducted by the City Council in the spring of 1968 on this proposed drainage improvement. The public hearing was closed and no action was taken on the project. A number of ineetings were scheduled between the Minrtesota Highway Department and the Village of Spring Lake Park. Little progress has been made towards an agreement to solve the drainage problems in this area. If temporary measures are taken to improve the existing drainage ditch ' . it will first be necessary to adopt a plan for permanent solution to the surface run-off, This step is necessaxy to establish the grade and align- ment of the proposed culvert under the Great Northem and Northern Pacific Railroad right-of-way. If this culvert is constructed, the ditch align- ' ment and grade between the railroad right-of-way and East River Road will have to be established and improvements in the creek bed down stream would be required as well as constructing an additional culvert under ' Alden Way to accommodate the additional flow in the ditch and creek eystem, ' ■�� , - _ If this work is accomp2ished by the City of Fridley prior to an agree- ment with the Village of Spring Lake Park and the Minnesota Highway Department, the cost of the temporarq work would have to be borne by the Citp of Fridley. . We will be happy to review the preliminary report ox any temporary solu- tion at your convenience. Respectfully submitted, COMSTpCK 6 VIS, INC.

It concerns the recent action taken by the Metropolitan Airports Coacnission which approved the Ham Lake site in Anoka County as the location for the new metropolitan airport. The resolution, which supports the action taken by the MAC has not been officially adopted by the Association. Rather, it has been tabled in order to give the municipal councils of Anoka County a chance to express their opinions. There is going to be a special meeting of the Board of Directors of the Association in about two weeks, the exact date has not been set as yet, at which official action with respect to�the resolution will be taken. Would you please make the resolution, along with this correspondence, available to your council at their next meeting so that they might consider i[. Their opinion can then be expressed to the Association by contacting me, or through their own representative to the Association. Ylease note that the circled paragraph in the resolution was deleted by a�ndment from the floor during the meeting. It was felt that that parti- cular paragYaph did noC really add anything to the resolution, and in fact i[ seemed to weaken the otherwise positive sounding language of the rest of the proposal. We hope that your council will have formed an express opinion by March lI or 12 for the special meeting of the Board of Directors will be held shortly after that date. Sincerely, Step�c j - s.Q�V\.

Paul, Minnesofa 55101 Tel�phena 221.2750 TO: Senator Greiq FROM: Frank Moulton DATE: March 4, 1969 RE: H.F. 985 - A bill for an act relating to the firemen's relief association in the city of Fridley 29 MEMBERS OF THE HOVSE TM.AnMnan Cl.i...n 116)�6B Vis� CM•rw�w 1 PotA9 Wb�n E. Gs4 Cd.ln R. Lww�. S1vmry buoF T. 0'X�i II Edwr� J. TwncayF PURPOSE OF BILL The purpose of this bill is to set up a new local ficemen's pension fund for paid firemen and at the same time to provide considerably la�er benefits for volunteer firemen than the general statutes for volunteer flre associations provide. Throughout, the bfll sets up maximum limits for the various cateqories of benefits, providing that the actual level of benefits be set by bylaws of the associarion. Sections 1 thru 5 set moderate levels as maximum benefits, all subject to bylaw. COMMENT: Up to this point, the normal cost of the maximum benefits ' would be in the neighborhod of 19% of the salary from which deductlons were made . Section 6 will allow amendments to the bylaws to drastically aiter the costs and benefits of the pension plan. Subd. 1 would permit only a modest increase, but Subd. 2(a) would chanqe the computation of ali benefits to the salary of the last year of employment. Financial effects would be: 1. Normal cost would increase approximately 28% of covered pay; 2. The deficit would immediately increase in proportion. � 1 1 ' ' ' � ' ' � LJ , ' Senator Glewwe, page 2 Subd. 2(b) would permit the bylaws to further increase benefits to fully escalate the plan, providing for all beneficiaries, including firemen who are retired, widows and children, to participate in each pay raise granted to employed firemen. The effect on costs would be: 1. The normal cost would be increased to somewhere in the neighborhood of 40% of covered pay; 2. The deficit would immediately increase proportlonately. Section 7 thru 12 provide for increasing the pensions to volunteer firemen above the limits provided in the general statutes of the state: Volunteer firemen's retirement pension of $40 is increased to maximum of S 100 plus credit for additional years of service over 24. Widows' pensions are provided for volunteer firemen. They are not provided in the 9eneral statutes. Post-retirement widows' pensions, i.e. widows of retired firemen, are established. These are not provlded in the general statutes. NOTE: This is a comparatively costly provision. Surviving children's benefits are provided for volunteer firemen. They are not in the general statutes. ' A comparatively liberal set of benefit provisions for volunteer firemen in case of disability are established with pensions up to $100 per month . ' ' � � N TE: The costs for volunteer firemen's benefits would be in addition to cash estimated for aaid firemen benefits. Sections 13 and 14 provide adequate financinq, includinq the amce�tization of the deficit within 20 years; all based on actuariai surveya prepared according to statutory requirements. Section 15 provides for ratification of bylaws by the governing body of the City of Fridley. This is presumably by maja'ity vote of the council. The council would have no authority toreduce benefits once established. 30 ' In view of the fact that eacfi increase in benefita proposed to be by bylaw would raise all future costs to the city for the pension fund and would create deficits which are in practical effeCt indebtedness to the city, per- ' haps somewhat hiqher requirements for ratification of bylaws miqfit be in order. � � , ' ' � ' � , ' , ' ' . ' ' ' ' l ..l , Senator Giewwe, page 3 GEI3ERAL COMMENT: Since the actual benefits would be subject to bylaw, which in turn can be changed at any time, an actuarial analysis would be very difficult to perform on a satisfactory basis. A sinqle bylaw increase would make actuarial findings qross understatements of cost and liab111ties. Practically all of the fire and police funds of the state now operate at the maximum limits permitted. If this fund should do as already noted, normai cost would be approx- imately 40'� of covered payroll plus, for financing purposes, payments on the deficit sufficient to amortize in 20 years, plus the costs of volunteers' benefits. The alternative to such extreme latitude to involve public expense qranted to an association of employees would be to set levels of benefit by statute which would require statutory amendments to change benefits . FM/ed 31 RE50LIITIOR N0. 3 �� /9` f A RE50LUTION REQUESTING THE MTNNESOTA HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT'S PARTICIPATION IN REPAMPING OF THE CROSSOVIIi AT 69TA AVENt3E ON T.H. #47• WHEREAS, the City of Fridley feels that the revamping o£ the crossover at 69th on T.H. #47 ie necessary: 1. To handle the extra traffic which will be generated a£ter the construction of the County Ice Arena on the east sid= of T.H. #47 (IIniveraity Avenue � and the development of the industrial property on the west aide of T.H. #47• 2. This relocation of the crossover to the north will also improve the aite distance on the hig�hway for the future location o£ the tra£fic signals. 3. This plan will also help to separate the industrial traf£ic from the residential traf£ic. WHE�EAS, the City Council o£ the City o£ Fridley has received a letter from C. E. Burrill, District Engin�er, District 5, Minnesota Department of Highways, agreeing to pay for revision of the median crossover, median drainage and revision of the le£t turn lanes. PIOW BE IT RESOLVED, by the Council of the City o£ Fridley as follows: 1. The City Council of the City of Fridley requests the participation of the Minnes�ta Highway Department in revampin$ of the crossover at 69th Avenue on T.H. #47• 2. That the Minneaota Aighway Department should prepase the appropriate agreement for the cost participation in regard to this work.

KIRKFIAM �=�,, March 4, 1969 MEMO T0: City Manager and City Council FROM: Finance Director SUBJECT: 1968 Earnings on Investments The attached sheet shows in detail the interest earned during the year 1968 on investments of temporarily idle funds. Earnings for the year are 5220,399.02. The interest earned by each of tl:e funds, as retained by that fund, as required by law, and is credited as income of the fund earning the interest. Most of the interest earned will have either a direct or an indirect affect on the taxes that will have to be levied in future years. As an example, interest earned by a bond fund that has a shortage in it, will mean that that much less money will have to be transferred into it. Interest earned by a fund such as the Liquor Fund, means that there is that much more money available for transfer to the General FLnd. Earnings from just two of the funds, General Fund and Public Utility Fund totaled more than the cost of operating the CSerk-Treasurer's office for the year 1968. La++•.

If3T'Lm�,��,��.��-��a��a�e March 4, 1969 Future air traffic increases forecast for the Twin Cities area already indi- cate clearly the necessity for enlarg::d airport capacity. It is evident that Wold Chamberlain cannot be expanded to accommodate our traffic in the next few years. The expansion possibiTities at Wold Chamberlain are limited for at least tv�o reasons: There is limited space for extension of present runways or addition of new runways; and the communities are so closely built up around the airport that increased traffic can only result in greater noise disturbance. Noise relief from quieter engines and aircrafit is many years away and may never satisfy the community surrounding Wold Chamberlain as it now exists. For those reasons, the Air Line Pilots Association believes that a netia air- port site should be selected immediately so that construction �vill not be delayed, and the overcrowding experienced at other cities is not repeated here. Over- trowded airports mean overcrowded air, and this adds up to unsafe flight condi- tions: The safe airport is the ultim�,,means to achieve safe flight operations in any metropolitan area. In addition, new techniques.of construction and airport layout can be applied in a completely new site v�ith a resulting high safety factor for the flying public+adj�cent population. The Ham Lake airport site has been examined by.ALPA, and vre consider•that it meets our criteria for ner� airports. The location is particularly favora6le because it is sufficiently distant from lJold Chamberlain and the heavily used airways south of the Twin Cities to be free of conflicting traffic. Further- more, the contemplated runway system at Ham Lal;e parallels the Wold-Chamberlain pattern so that operations at both airports could be coordinated with maximum safety. No natural obstacles exist in the Ham Lake terrain to interfere vrith the approach and taF,e-off zones. The location also offers opportunities for proper zoning of the surroundings to,5void public inconvenience due to air- craft noise. By this vre mean that private d�arellings would not and should not be built in the noise sensitive areas, and the present low population density around Ham Lake makes it possible to ach5eve this desired zoning with incon- venience to relatively few people. "SCHEDULE �Y17❑ SAFETY" .�66 tlN � �� wz�1�� y��, MI �NIfYI m:��. James 1. Hetland, Jr. Metropolitan Council March 4, I969 We believe the weather conditions at the Nam Lake site are relatively the same ds ai Wold Chamberlain, and that with multiple-rumvay operations the probabi- lity of fog interference to air traffic will be minimized. Furthermore, advances in fog dispersal techni.ques are rapidly eliminating fog as a serious factor. We in ALPA also believe that a north site is preferabie to any south location because of better traffic interchange on the cross country air routes passing through and around the Twin Cities. ALPA has the greatest possible interest in new airport location and construction as well as in updating existing airports. The record already shoavs that many projects for improvement of airports and airport facilities have come dbout� because �f our organization's efforts. The Ham Lake development vaould be no exception, and 4re are willing to work closely with the Metropolitan Rirports Commission, the Pletropolitan Council, and other interested parties such as the airlines and Federal Aviation Administration, or other airport users to help develop a modern, safe and convenient airport at Ham Lake. copies to: Metropolitan Council Members News Media Yer truly yours, ��1�� 2?
