ORDINANCFs #471 - SECOND RF.ADING OF AN ORDINANCE UNI)E8 SECTION 12.07 OF THE
CITY CHARTER TO VACATE STREETS AND ALLEYS AND TO AMEND APPENDIX C OF THE
CIT7t CODE: (SAV #70-04) (Brook Street, Requested by James L. Robinson.)
The City Engineer sai3 that the first reading was held, then the second
reading was held up pending receipt of documen�s necessary. They have now
been received and everything is in order.
Councilman Harris said that when the Robinson representative was present at
the Meeting, the Council indicated their desire ta have this are.a cleaned up
and wondered if anything had been done. The City Engineer said that some of
the clean up has been done and there would be no further legal action until
after the lst of January when the bank takes over the property. He said
that the major problem was not the Skelly Station property.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to adopt Ordinance #471 on second reading, waive
the reading and order publication. Seconded by Councilman Sheridan. �Jpon a
roll call vote, Harxis, Breider, Sheridan, Kirkham and Liebl voting aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
FIRST REAAING OF UNIFORM SNOWMOBILE ORDINANCE:
Mayor Kirkham said that he had received a letter from Mrs. G.J. Hamilton,
181 Rice Creek Terrace and read a portion of the letter aloud. He wondered
if it would not be possible to draft a form letter to be sent to people
c�nplaining of snowmobiles as he felt that there would be more complaints
coming in. He would like the letter to show that the Council is in
sympathy with the residents complaining, but explain their position.
Mrs. William Holm, 7424 Melody Drive N.E., said that they went out and got
many names on a petition that was presented to the Council. She said that
Minneapolis and Columbia Heights have a strong law banning snowmobiles from
the City streets, so why cannot Fridley. She felt that they were pleasure
vehicles and should not be allowed on the City streets. She said she
lives on the corner and it is impossible to see a snowmobile from the
corner because of the snow banks. She said that they should not be driven
by children as she has seen done. The �r►ajority of people do not have
snowmobiles, and why should they have to suffer the noise and danger. She
felt that the safety hazard was unbearable, and they should be on park pro-
perty.
Mayor Kirkham said that no one on the Council would argue with her on her
points made. There was a ruling a year ago that they could not be banned
completely. Mrs. Holm said that Minneapolis and Columbia Heights.found a
way and she had been told that the municipalities can do it. Mayor Kirkham
said that the ruling was published by the Minnesota League of Municipalities.
Mrs. Holm said that it would be in the best interest of the City to ban them
fran the streets.
Mr. Virgil Herrick said that the Attorney General's office overruled an
opinion which he just examined today. Now they have exactly the opposite
viewpoint they had a year ago. The most recent opinion says that they cannot
be prohibited, but if �there is good cause they could be prohibited from
the streets.
' REGULAR COUNCI
L MEETING OF JANUARY 4; 1971
PAGE 3
'
The Acting City Manager said that he had just received a report today
, frocn the Attorney General's office on what can and canhot be done, but he
has not had sufficient opportunity to look it over.
, Cauncilman Liebl said that because of the urging of the stroag petition,
something should be done that would put teeth into the Ordinance. He
questioned how can you clock the speed of a snowmobile. The Ordinance should
put forth where they are allowed and.at what times. Then this should be
' fully explained in the newspaper. The memo frosn the City Attorney
explains what Anoka County and Ramsey County are trying.to do. This was
previously regulated by the State Legislature. The Director of Parks and.
� Recreation has laid out areas in the parks where snowmobiles can run.
He said that he rec�ived calls from people in the Second Ward complaining
of snowmobiles running right beside a sliding hill where small children
' were playing. This would constitute a hazard. He said that the City
would have to depend on voluntary co¢apliance of the people. He pointed out
that there is no speedoaneter on a snowmobile.
� Mrs. Holm said that the noise is also very bad. She said that they should
not be allowed to drive on the streets. Streets were made for cars.
'' Councilman Harris suggested that since the .Acting City Manager has
received new information that the Council ask.the Administration and legal
staff to review and indicate any changes based on the new information now
available. Councilman Breider said that there was also the problems of
' enforcement. He suggested that while the Administration was reviewing it,
the Police Department could offer their comntents on enforcement.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to adopt the Ordinance on first reading and
waive the reading, with the understanding that this is a preliminary draft
only and will be finalized before the second reading. Seconded by Council-
man Breider.
Councilman Harris said that he thought that Section 3, Subdivision 8 would
need some clarification as to enforcement.
Councilman Breider suggested that perhaps the answer would bQ to change the
law so that a person would have to have a drivers license as with a car.
He said that he would like the recomnendations of tha Police Department.
Mr. Carl Paulson sa�d that it seemed to be the concensus of opinion that it
would be a difficult ordinance to enforce, for example the matter of speed.
How would a squad car get close enough to clock a snowmobile. If the
Ordinance disallowed them on the streets then it would be enforceable. This
is a pleasure vehicle and should not be allowed to be used promiscuously.
The little children must be protected. CounciLnan Sheridan said that perhaps
they should be considered like a minibike. They are not a legal vehicle for
driving on the streets. If minibikes can be banned from City streets, maybe
the same should be done with snowmobiles.
TxE VOTE upon the motion, being a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the mot�on carried unanimously.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANIJARY 4, 1971
PAGE 4
CONSI.DERATION OF MEMORANDUM FRAM CITY MA�ilAGER bIEGAW3IAiG ..HOLIDAYS FOR POLICE
DEPARTMENT :
Councilman Liebl said that his understanding of the intent of the Council
was that only the 40 hour a week employees would be getting the one half
day befpre Christmas and New Years off. The rest of the Council concurred
that this was the intent.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the com�aunication.fr�om.the Actinq
City i�lanager dated December 31, 1970 and concur. Seconded by Councilman
Sheridan.. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,.btayor Kirkham declared the
motion carried unanimously.
ADMINISTRATION OF OATH OF.OFFICE:
Mayor Kirkham read the Certificate of Apprecxation aloud that_.wa� prepared for
outa�oing Councilman Raymond Sheridan, and presented him with the plaque and
a gavel. Outgoing Councilman Sheridan said that it has been a pleasure
working with the present and past Councils, and that it has been an
enjoyable experience. He said that he hoped that he had offered his con-
tribution to the well being of the community. °
The City Clerk, Marvin C. Brunsell, then administered.the oath of office to
the new Councilman of the Second Ward, Robert Kelshaw.
Councilman Liebl said that he has worked with many people from Councilman
Sheridan's ward. While the City of Fridley was growing, Councilman Sheridan
gave many hours at this Council table. He said as a fellow Councilman, he
has gained respect for him as a man and as a Christian, and his good
wishes go with him.
VISITORS:
Mr. M.M. Mahurin: Status of Tax Exempt Property:
Mr. M.M. Mahurin read a prepared statement and pre�ented it.to Mayor Kirkham.
He felt that there was an area needing investigation in .the status of tax
exempt properties. During the last 40 - 50 years many properties have
escaped taxation. You would find in Minneapolis that � of the property is
tax exempt, yet practically all af it is devoted to incane producing
businesses. What is needed is a uniform plan for determining these ex-
emptions.
Mayor Kirkham asked Mr. Mahurin is he was suggesting a comu�ittee that would
search for lands qualifying for tax exemption. One possible source of
revenue would be the water plants. Mr. Mahurin agreed the water utilities
are not taxed and could qualify. Mayor Kirkham said that his idea was worth
investigating.
Counci].man Harris did not think it proper for a committee to be goinq.through
the Assessor's files and suggested that it could be headed by.the Assessor
and he would do the work with the files. Mr. Mahurin said that there could
be some delicate situations such as some church prope�ty that is converted
into rental property. Committee support could eliminate situations such as
that. Mayor Kirkham said that the c�arnittee could come up with ideas and
work through the Assessor.
'
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 4, 1971 PAGE 5
'
The Acting City Manager said that this was a good id�a but his understanding
' of the Constitutional amendment was that it was for the purpose of qiving the
State Legislature the authority to set guidelines on what should be exempt
and what should be taxed. The Legislature is to lay down quidelines.
' Mr. Mahurin said that then the comRnittee could approach the Legislature
through lobbying. Councilman Harris said that his understanding was that
of the Acting City Manager. The municipality cannot arbitrarily put lands
back on the tax rolls, but there may be certain things they want to convey to
' the Legislature. The City cannot put lands back.on the tax rolls at our
own volition. Mr. Mahurin said th�t the intent is to try to help change
the law.
MOTION by Counci].man Breider to receive the capmunication froan Mr. M.M.
Mahurin. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Kelshaw said that he would volunteer to work s�ith the City
Assessor. He felt, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
RECEIVING RESIGNATION OF CITY -ATTORNEY AND ApppZN'I'IDIG . BtEW CITY ATTORNEY:
Mayor Kirkham said that the Council has received the resignation of Leonard
Juster as City Attorney.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to receive the resignation from Leonard Juster
dated December 30, 1970. Seconded by Councilman ICelshaw.
Councilman Liebl asked that the Mayor read the letter aloud, which he did.
Councilman Liebl said that the majority of the Council chose the new City
Attorney which is their right, and he had been in the.minority. He said
that he had no ax to grind when Leonaxd Juster was appointed, but it was
still his feeling that it is better to have an attorney that does not live in
the City as then he can have no conflict of interest and cannot be pre'ssured
and would render his opinions purely on the issue at stake. He said that he
wanted to thank Leonard Juster for being a non partisan individual , and
he has heard no one say anything to the contrary. He said that he wished to
thank publiclp Mr. Juster for his help with the Flaq Ordinance, and he hoped
that the new City Attorney would not have to defend it. He felt Mr.
Juster did a fine job and helped to straighten out.areas in the Police
Departrnent. He hoped there would be the same type of coaperation when Mr.
Virgil Herrick takes over. He said that he hated to see changes in legal
counsel, and he accepted this resignation with regret.
THE VOTE upon the motion, being a voice vote, Kirkham, Harris, and Kelshaw
voting aye, Liebl and Breider voting nay, Mayor Kirkham declar.ed the motion
carried.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to appoint Mr. Virgil Herrick as City Attorney.
He said that Mr. Herrick.has served for over four years with distinction and
dedication, and he welcomed him back. James Gibbs wou.ld then be City
Prosecutor. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw. Upon a voice vote, Kirkham,
Harris, and Kelshaw voting aye, Liebl and Breider voting nay, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried.
REGULAR CO(JNCIL MEFTING nF JANT,F.F�2Y 4, 1971
PAGE 6
Mr. Virgil Herrick said that he has been in this position before, and that
he understood the opinions of the minority. He £ully realized that two of
the members would rather have his predecessor. He said that if anyone
wanted the service of his office, they would be welcome to stop in and
request it. He said that Mr. Juster's firm and his have always gotten
along fine and he has already talked to Mr. J�zster about the transfer of
files etc.
Councilznan Kelshaw said that Councilman Lieb1 alluded to his beinq in�the
minority and Councilman Kelshaw then being in the a►ajority. He said that he
wanted to go on record anc� he wanted it understood that he would be voting on
issues as they come up as the dictates of his heart and the wishes of his
people prescribe. He said that he wanted that clearly understood right naw.
He said Councilman Liebl and he may be in the-majority on some issues. He
felt that Leonard Juster has done a fine job as City Attorney, but Virgil
Herrick has now been picked. He said that he had to cast a vote and he
voted for Virgil Herrick. One of his prime reasons was that he was a
resident of the City of Fridley, and he felt opposite from what Councilman
Liebl voiced. He felt that he has to live with the people of his ward and
the City Attorney will have to live with his own people within the City.

now being held is for water and sewer construction which.has been completed.
For the streets, Mr. Q'Bannon is proposing that the City accept the letter
signed with Concrete Specialties in lieu of a bond.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to turn this over to the City Attorney to see
if the City would have enough-security. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion
carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION REGARDING AMERIGAN LEGION REQUEST.TO DELAY IN PR(JVIDING CERTAIN
ITEMS RE U�RED BY THE CITY CODE:
The City Engineer handed out a list of items that are to be completed by the
American Legion for compliance to the Code. The starred it�ns are those
items that the Legion would like to delay because of funds. They are
generally in the area of fire protection. Mayor Kirkham said that he
understood that they were broke and are sti11 trying to operate. They do
not have the funds like a business operation would. He suggested.that if a
delay is authorized, it should be with the approval of the Fire Marshall.
The City Engineer said that if this was a business, and not a service
organization, it would be automatically denied. Councilman Liebl said that
they did not want a permanent waiver, just a delay.
The City Attorney said that he did not believe that he would recam�nend
approval. If they had a fire, it could be determined that they did not
take adequate safety precautions. He suggested that the Council meet with
them to try to find a way that the work could be done. It was pointed out

�
that they are doing the labor themselves to.cut down on the cost and their
' expense would just be the materials. The City Attorney sugqested that they
may be able to get credit from the local lumber company for their materials.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to receive the communication froQa the American
Legion and deny their request for an occupancy pern►it until those items are
taken care of to the satisfaction of the City Inspectors. Seconded by
Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Harris asked that,.the Administration direct a letter to tham
offerinq any assistance possible for resolving their problems.
AWARDING OF BID FOR ONE ELECTRpNIC ACCOUDTTIISG idAGHINE; (gids ppened
December 31, 1970 at 9:30 A.M.)
There was only one bid submitted.
MOTION �Sy Councilman Harris to award the bid to Diational Cash Reqister
Company�in the amount of $12,192.17 for one NCA 400-729-100-20A-9.
Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Kirkham declared the motion �rried unanimously.
DISCUSSION REGARDING CHANGE ORDER #1 FOR PRfJ.7ECT #95-B AND'pTFiER ITEMS:
The City Engineer �aid that the Parks Departsnent has indicated a desire for
lighting at the Locke Bark well house and warming house. The lighting would
be similar to that at Commons Park and would cost about $4,000. The
question is how is the money to be provided. The advantage of doing the
work now would be that there is already a contractor working on the job and
it could just be added on. He would like some direction from the Council
and if the Council is affirmative, he would co�ne back with a Change Order.
The Park Department feels that the lighting is needed. There is another
area he would like a Council determination. There is stone facia on three
sides of the building to conform with the Columbia lce Arena and there have
been comments that the building looks unfinished and he wondered if the
Council desired to have the fourth side canpleted at a cost of $4,189. The
lighting would be for the warming house facility and a hackey rink in the
winter and a softball field in the summer. Thi� lighting project would be
to provide the power'by having the transformer on the ground instead of on the
pole, and the addition of some light poles. The controls would then be
inside the building. To provide the additional physical lighting would be
another thousand. Councilman Harris asked how is power supplied now. The
City Engineer said that there is a transformer on a pole. With this Change
Order the controls would be inside the building. Councilman Harris felt that
it shoui.d be done. The facility cannot.be used fully unless there is
lighting.
Councilman Liebl asked if it would be lighting for a football field so it
could be used in the evenings. He felt that there was a need for another
football field as every year the number of football players increase. It
was pointed out that this lighting would not be sufficient for a football
field.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF JANUARY 4, 1971
PAGE 10
The City Engineer sumanarized by saying that the building cost about $12,000,
bX adding the stone facia would add a cost of about $4,000 and the lighting
would be another $4,000. The A.cting City Manaqer said that the Parks
Department did not have the full $12,000 in thsir budget, b.ut that it would
be paid back in three years. Councilman Breider said that before he could
vote he would like to know where the money was coining from. If svmething
has to be cut from the Parks budget, he would like to know what it was.
The Acting City Manager sai.d that perhaps the money cauld come from the
emergency fund.
Councilman Breider said that he would like to have this laid over until
next week �o allow the Parks Director and the Aoting City Manager to work
out the money appropriations.
Mr. Richard Harris asked how many square feet of the stone facia would be
obtained for the $4,000. The City Engineer said a.little less than 100
square feet. Stone facia is very expensive. Mr. Harris wondered where the
money would be coming from and felt that this expenditure would be ridiculous.
The City Engineer said that this is the cost given him by the contractar.
Councilman Harris w�ondered if it would not be better to see what som� other
contractor could do it for. $4,000 is very expensive. The City Engineer
said that the lighting costs are a good priae. He has had experience with
the same contractor and he felt that the cost was l�gitim�te. As far as the
stone facia is concerned he said that this i� also an accurate price.
Councilman Harris said that he first drew the attention of the City Engineer
to the possibility of putting on the stone facia on the fourth side. He
had heard from a number of people that the building did not look finished.
He did not feel that it should be done cor�sidering the cost, and that $4,000
could be put to better use somewhere else. He felt that it was a �shame that
this was missed on the original prints. It could have perhaps been done
cheaper if it was part of the original plan. He felt that the lighting
was needed and asked that the Administration come back with plans for
funding.
CONSIDERATION OF CITY ATTORNEY'S REPORT ON INSURANCE:
The Acting City Manager said that it was the City Attorneg's feelinq that the
City should carry the liqubr liabiiity. The City has had the liquor
liability in the past.
MOTION by Cauncilman Liebl to receive the communication from Leonard
Juster dated December 31, 1970 and concur with his recommendation.
Seconded by Councilman Harris.
Councilman Harris asked if this was a two year premium. The Acting City
Manager said that it was three years. Councilman Harris said that at the
end of the next Legislative session the contract should be reviewed before
the expiration of the contract. Councilman Liebl pointed out �tl-:at the
ir►surance consultant had advised getting t:he liquor liability insurance.
THE VOTE upon the motion, being a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the motion carried unanimously.

CONSIDERATION OF RE UEST TO USE MADSF�i PARK pROPERTY FOR CONSTRUCTION QF
SWIMMING POpL AT 7373 MEMpRy LANE; (RE UEST BY MR, & MRS, DICK ydALDgTEIN):
The Acting City Manager explained that Mr. Waldstein is planning to build
a swimming pool in his back yard and would have to bring in the equipment
over Madsen Park. Counci.lman Harris said that the equipment used should be
amply insured in case of an injury. The Acting City Manager said that the
City could qet a copy of the liability insurance to keep on file.
MOTION by Council.man Liebl to approve use of the Madsen Park property for
bringing in the equipment to 7373 Memoxy Lane to build a swimminq pool subject
to the recommendations of the Parks Director as laid out in the January
4, 1971 Agenda, and subject to a copy of the liability insurance of the
contractor being received by the City. The motion was seconded.
Mx'• i�ick Wal,ylstein saic�_ that he had another request that he would like the
Council to consider. He would like to put in a douhle gate in his back yard
fence to allow him to bring in a boat across Madsen Park to get it into
his back yard.. He said that he does not have a bont now, but he would like
to get one within a year. He said that he could not qet to his back yard
fraca the street.
Councilman Harris said that personally he would have no objection, but he
felt that this would be setting a bad precident. If this is allowed here,
there could be other requests, and soon people would be using the park at the
end of every weekend to bring in their campers, etc. If permission is qiven
here, permission would have tp be qiven to all. Councilman Breider said that
he would have to agree. Councilman Kelshaw wondered if there would not be
ruts made when the spring thaw comes. It was aqreed by the Council that to
allow the double gate and access across Madsen Park for boats, campers,
etc. wou�ld be setting a bad precident.
UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared
the motion carried unanimously.

IMPROVEMENT PROJECT.TO �'HE GENERAL FUND:
The City Engineer said that some of the funds came from the General Fund
and are now to be put back. The Acting City Manager said that this transfer
was made before it was known how much would be coming fr�n the Federal
Government. The people were assessed for street surfacing only, not for the
extra costs, such as for easements. Councilman Breider asked if this money
could be used for the I,ocke Park lighting. The Acting City Manager said that
first it should be put back into the Gen�ral Fund to keep the bookkeeping
straight.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to adopt Resolution.#5-1971. Seconded by
Councilman Harris. Upo� � voice vote, all voting �ye, Mayor Kirkham

PUBLIC HEARING ON IMPROVEMENT PROJECT ST. 1971-3, ADDENDUM NO. 1 AND DISCUSSION
REGARDING REVISED SAFETY AND ROAD IMPROVEMENT OF EAST RIVER ROAD AND OTHER ROADS
IN THE ARF,A :
Mayor Kirkham read the Public Hearing Notice and explained that actually the
legal hearing on the project for the improvement of East River Road and
adjacPnt streets has already been held. This informal hearing is on the
changes in the plan in response to the residents in the area.
The City Engineer said that the legal Public Hearing was held on October 13,
1970. Basically, at that time, the concensus of opinion was that there should be
�hree signals instead of the two proposed. The present proposal incorporates
three signals. The County is holding their hearing concurrently. He said that
he would then turn the Meeting over to Mr. Jake Lundheim, Anoka County Engineer,
and asked that the questions be directed to him, and the City would answer
questions regarding the side streets.
Mr. Jake Lundheim, Anoka County Engineer, said that this Meeting was being
I Called pursuant to Section 128 for the purpose of discussinq the improvement
of County State Aid Highway #1 from I. 694 to approximately Rice Creek Way.
Mr. Gardner will discuss the project in detail and explain the changes from the
' first proposal. This meeting was advertised in the Sun and Anoka County Union.
The County held their public hearing here last September 23rd, and the City has
held their hearing on the same project. He said that they were of the opinion
that this section of road needs to be upgraded. He asked that anyone who
' wished to speak should come fonaard and state their name and address. After
the format he invited the audience to go across to the Community Room where
they would attempt to answer their questions. He said that the record would be
, open for 10 days, then would be forwarded to the Highway Department. He
introduced Mr. Gardner, who was in charge of the project.
'
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 1971 PAGE 2
Mr. Gardner, of Bather and Associates, said that the improvement covers four
general areas; history, design, operation and right oi way. He said that they
could be more specific on the right of way requirements. He said that they
would present an alternate method of solving problems of dense land use and
dense traffic problems. The result of the study is this alternate plan which
was considered a workable solution. He said that the reasons for the improve-
ment have already been gone over at the improvement hearing. 5tarting with the
center of the roadway, there would be a 4' wide median. On each side there are
two driving lanes 12' in width. There are to be 10' shoulders to provide
emergency Stopping. Curb and gutter and a 7' - 8' wide grass boulevard are
to be provided. This is a total of about 90 teet right of way. The median
will vary from 4' to 16' wide at intersections, to in between widths. Z"here
would be an opening provided for left turns in three places between the freeway
and Rice Creek. The first would be at Georgetown Apartments and Downing Box.
The second place would be the entrance to the elementary school. The third
would be at Mississippi Stxeet where there is a present signal. The intent is
that left hand turns could only be made at these points. Right hand turns
would be as it is naw. Each intersection would have a full left and right
turn lane. The frontage roads are minor and would connect to 59� Way to the
multiple dw�lling area on the west side only. There is a short section oE
frontage road north of the school entrance, to give entrance into Riversedge
Way. Under the City portion of the improvement there would be a connection
made on Riverview Terrace to make access to signals at Mississippi Street.
There is sane improvement of the streets on the east side of East River Road
parallel to the railroad tracks to provide for movement of traffic. In
talking about right of way, in the past they have not had the exact amounts of
right of way needed. Now he could give the exact amount of right of way.
From the south end of the project to 63rd Avenue all the right of way would
come from the east side which was occupied by railroad right of way, except
for a frontage facility on the west side. He asked that individuals waritinq
to know how much right of way is necessaxy from a particular parcel to wait
until they adjourn to the other room. The method of right of way acquisition
is that the County would be enqaging an appraiser and he would determine
what is a fair amount of money for it. Each individual is entitled to hire
their own appraiser and an appraisal could be appealed. There is relocation
assistance provided and he would call on.Mr. Patrick Murphy, District Engineer
to explain this. There are four relocations necessary in this project.
There is an individual's home directly north of the school entrance that would
have to b� taken to provide entrance. There is a business in the southwest
quadrant of Mississippi Street that would also have to be taken. There is a
garage behind and west of the gas station and one more garage between 62nd
and 62�5 Way on the east side that would have to be relocated. These people
would qualify for relocation help fran.the Highway Department.
Mr. Patrick Murphy, District State Aid Engineer, said that this project
would be Federally funded as part of T.O.P.I.C.S. program. The State Hiqhway
Department is not directly involved, except through the funding. The Highway
Department is staffed to help with relocation of the x'esidence, business and
garages. They would help with replacetnent housing. A fair market value for
the home would be provided and information on rental property. There would be
help with relocation expense, and the taxes would be prorated. $5,000 is the
top �igure for relocation expenses for the owner of the house and the business.
There could be up to $5,000 help if the business could not find another place
to continue the business. As to t�,� qazages, reunbursement for moving the
'
, SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 1971
PAGE 3
1 personal effects from the garages would be given. The County negotiates for
the right of way. The property owner would be contacted within 10 days for
relocation, and provide relocation assistance and payment. From that time
1 there is 90 days given to vacate. There is a procedure for appeal if the
person is not satisfied with the amount.
Mr. Jake Lundheim called on Mr. Mike O'Bannon, Anoka County Commissioner for
any comments he would wish to make, but he had no comments. Mayor I�irkham s�id
that this project has been planned for a long time. The formal legal hearing
has been completed. This is just an informal hearing to bring the people tp
to date. It is felt that there must be an improvement made.
Councilman Liebl said that this project is anticipated. Last year the Council
approved having a study made, and coming up with a plan. He felt the Council
also wanted to know where the signals should be located, based on County
standards. He said that he would support these locations after carefully
studying �t.he plans. He said that there were three questions that needed to
be asked. 1. What does the Council wish to accomplish with these plans.
2. Is it in the best interest of the City of Fridley? 3. Does the City
need three major highways going througlti the City of Fridley? He felt that
the signals were needed for Georgetown and Downing Box and LaMaur and also
for the school. He said that he could not support the idea that East River
Road must be widened. There is no extra land available. Even now the
houses are too close to the highway right of way. Taking more right of way
would endanger the residences more. As to the speed on East River Road, he
felt that there should bP stricter enforcement of the traffic laws by the
Police Department and they ought to crack down on violators. He felt that this
would solve 50$ of the traffic problems. East River Road is a residential
road with just some commercial and multiple use, but 80$ of it is residential.
He felt that by widening East River Road, would be creating greater problems
even with the left hand turns. The side streets have been deleted until the
1972 construction season. He felt that they should stay deleted because the
people just cannot afford the cost of the improvement. Consideration should
be given to rezoning Fridley Park and future construction before the people's
money is wasted. Just widening the street and installing left turning lanes
will not solve all the problems. It will increase traffic on East River Road
and eventually there wpuld be an increase on the side streets and the speed
limit would be raised on East River Road. He said you have to consider the
cost in relation to what it will do four years from now. In order to build
a wider street, you would have to condemn more homes. He said that he did
not believe the Council wasted their money in getting this study, but he would
like to read into the record these points. 1. Enforce traffic laws firmly.
2. Indicate intention to keep East River Road a minor thoroughfare, and not
a major highway. 3. Urge expediting completion of Mississippi from 2nd St.
to East River Road including the underpass.
Mr. Walter Tuchfarber, Corporate Officer of LaMaur, said that he has always
had the utmost cooperation from the'City of Fridley. They have a new plant
in the City and have enjoyed it very much. When they first moved last summer
there was no traffic signal at I. 694 and East River Road. He campaigned
very hard for a traffic signal at their access, and that of Downing Box and
Georgetown Apartments. He said that they have a lot of employees and so does
Downing Box. Since they have moved in, there has been a signal put in at I.
694 and East River Road and this has c�xeatly all�vi�ted their problem. The
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEAR.ING M.�FTZI�',� C?'� Jr'111UARY" 11, :i971 PAGE 4
inter��al between red and green provides a chance for cars to enter the traf�ic
tlow. D+�wning Box now feels that they are adequat�ly provided for. He said
that he had not talked to Georgetown, but he felt that for LaMaur, the signal
that was put in adequately takes care of their problem. He wondered if the
additional traffic light might not be necessary.
Mr. Lundheim asked Mr. Tuchfarber if he noticed the difference after the
signal was put in at I. 694 and East River Road. Mr. Tuchfarber said that the
difference was dramatic.

Mr. Lundheim invited the people to go across into the Comnunity Room to further �
answer questions. The audience indicated that they still had questions they wanted
to ask of the Council.
Mr. Riahard Harris said that there seems to be a cxedibility gap. He said that
he has sat through all the hearings since the onset of this program and it
seems to be the feeling on the part of Mz. Gardner, Mr. Lundheim and the City
Engineer that the project is necessary, but the people do not seem to think so.
He asked Mr. Lundheim if, in his estimati.on, the project was necessary. Mr.
Lundheim answered that in his opinion it was. Mr. Harris said that a c�uple
of years ago the City had some fatalities on East River Road and at that time
the request was made to reduce the speed limit and have stricter enforcement
of the traffic laws. The Chief of Police said that they were unable to
enforce the traffic laws and the speed l.imit. The Councilman fran the Third
Ward has just called for this to be done. With this improvement could the
traffic laws be enforced? Mr. Lundheim said that a speeder could be appre-
hended as there would be a shoulder to pull him over onto.
Mr. Robert Brokopp, Burlington Northern, said that he did not believe the
people understood the widening and the right of way to be taken. The entire
width is not the final width of the street, and cannot be used by the pro-
perty owners. Mr. Lundheim said that all along the roadway there would be a
green boulevard strip that would vary between 7' and 8' from the back of the
curb to the right of way line. Mr. Brokopp asked if this would be a permanent
easement and Mr. Lundheim said it would be. Mr. Brokopp said that they would
not like to see any more right of way taken if possible. These are industrial
parcels north of Downing Box to 61st Way and are already quite narrow. He
said that they have been having difficulty in getting industry on these parcels.
He asked that the very minimum width be taken, as they would like to maintain
the property with substantial limits.
Mr. Gerald Kantor, 6220 East River Road, said that he was aware of the problem.
He had a car come into his home and the driver was killed. He has seen
drivers hit telephone poles, and the usual cause was excessive speed. He
said that he abides by the speed limit and cars pass him. Since the stop
lights were put up and the speed limit of 40 M.P.H. he sai.d that he has
noticed a decrease in speed. He said that he would question the necessity of
this whole project if the speed limit could be enforced. Enforcing the speed
limit should take care of the safety problem.
A lady in the audience asked if they would be going ahead anyway. Mr. Lundheim
said that the comments would be re-evaluated.

PAGE 5
' Mr. Art Voigt, 6210 Alden Way N.E. asked if, during tha peak hours, you can
control the speed with this median? He felt that it would be impossible to
enforce. This would be making East River Road more open and there would be
' more of the same thing. He said that the City Engineer has stated that 751
of the traffic is Fridley generated, but he did not believe it. We built ou�
homes to live in peace, not to have a freeway running through.
1 Mr. Ra�chard Brown, 6103 East River Road, said that he was of the same opinion
as Councilman Liebl. He felt that this was a piece meal plan that ends at
Rice Creek. Not enough care has been given to the people who live there.
� They will have to qive up property and be assessed for sanething that will make
it a less fit place to live.
Mr. Maurice Filister, Georgetown Court Apartments, said that he agreed that
there must be some steps taken for safety. It is used as a freeway at present
with speeds of 50 - 60 M.P.H. Stop lights along East River Road will help
curtail the traffic and will slow it down. The Police Department should try to
control the speed on East River Road. He said that he did not go along with
making East River Road wider. It would place the street 16' from one building
and 12' from a 30 car garage and 30' from one building. He said that there
would be 600 cars coming down the side street 12' from a building, and could
this be considered safety? Land should be taken from the east side of East
River Road rather than put in a road 12' from an.apartment building. He said
that he could see no safety factor in putting in the street that close to
houses. He said that it did not make sense to him.
Mr. Paul M. Segner, 6470 Riverview Terrace N.E., asked what happened to the
crossing on 61st. Mayor Kirkham said that the Railroad and Warehouse Com-
mission refused the City's request. Mr. Segner said that he was a participant
in the Citizens Service League, and the answer does not lie with the control
of the automobile, but rather with the control of oux public officals. We
have been afflicted with a Highway Department. There is no excuse for having
a third major highway running through the City. The grading on East River
Road was not within 6" last time it was graded. Part of the reason there is a
problem with East R3ver Road was that it was not straightened out last time
it was worked on. The drainage problem dumped water across the road. In
cold conditions it becomes a skating rink. What assurance have we that this
will be any better? The people cannot afford to have this type of public
officials. He said that he did not know why he should have to sit through this.
He said that he felt that they have the right to expect greater confidence in
the construction of East River Road than they have had so far.
Mrs. Don Tyler, 116 Riversedge Way N.E. asked what safety factor was there in
taking out the house by Riversedge Way. She said she was told that the traffic
light could not be run 24 hours a day. Mr. Gardner said that it would be a
fully operated signal. The house has to be taken to provide access to �,the
intersection. Mrs. Tyler said that there was a drainage problem on East
River Road, and would not the cars slide into the median? Mr. Gardner said that
the drainage features were incorporated into the plan.
Mr. Filister asked what was the cost of this proposal. Mr. Gardner said it
' would probably be close to a million dollars. He was then asked how it
was funded. Mr. Lundheim said that there would be Federal aid for 50$ of
the project. The other 50$ would have to be the City and County responsibility.
� Mrs. John Othoudt, 20 63rd Wag N.E., asked }� t�ey would pay assessments for
the service roads.
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JANUARY 11, 1971 PAGE 6
Mr. Melvin Kocinski, 43 62� Way N.E. asked if they would be assessed directly.
Councilman Liebl said yes. They would be getting 50� Federal funding, and
25� would have to be paid by the County and 25� by the City through assessments.
The side streets would be assessed. Mr. Kocinski said that he lives on 62�
Way and asked if he would be assessed. Councilman Liebl said all abutting
property owners would be assessed. Mayor Kirkham explained the assessment
procedure and said that the same policy would apply. Mr. Kocinski said that he
has already paid for one street. Ashton Avenue was just an alley. The only
reason it is now a street is that people started driving on it. He said that
he could see no reason why they should pay for it. It should be state aid and
the residents should not have to pay one dime. Why not wait until the railroad
gets done building the railroad �racks?
Mayor Kirkham said that this hearing is,held in response to the public. He
kept hearing that something must be done to East River Road. Mrs. Tyler
said that she would like to see the traffic lights and have the Police
Department enforce the speed limits.
Mayor Kirkham asked Councilman Harris to take the Chair, which he did at
8:50 P.M.
Mrs. Clarence W. Theisen, 111 63rd Way N.E. asked what change this proposal
would make in their fire protection. Would it take more time to get to their
premises because of the median? Mayar Hax�ris Pro tem said that this Council
has been very concerned about on grade crossings at thQ railroad tracks. At
times trains block the tracks. They have negotiated with Burlington Northern
Railway and have appeared before the Public Service Commission to ask their
concurrence for an underpass, which was denied. The City has now succeeded in
negotiation with Burlington Northern fox the completion of an underpass on
Mississippi Street. Mr. Theisen asked what about the median, will this cause a
delay? This could change their insurance premiums. Mayor Harris Pro tem said
that this could be a factor, he did not know. The Council's main concern has
been to qet the vehicles to the other side of the tracks without obstruction.
Councilman Liebl said that the County is trying to solve a problem. There is
a hazard in the drainage along this street, along with traffic control. There
are no catch basins for the water, so it drains to the other side of the road.
One of the problems has been that the Police Department cannot enforce the laws,
but he would have to disagree. From Mississippi north there is another type of
road, and if it cannot be straightened out, he would question the merits of
the proposal. This is the concern of everyone using the road. The traffic
must be controlled more firmly. In some areas a speeder can be caught. He
believed that it should be straightened out and the drainage problem solved
and the traffic slowed down. He said that.he felt that the three intersections
were necessary.
Mr. Kocinski said that he would go along with the signals 100�, but not the
rest of the proposal. He asked why assess them for Ashton, when they do not
want it. A member of the audience said that there was a lady that would be run
out of town as she could not afford it.
Mayor Harris Pro tem said that the reason for having this hearing tonight is
since he was elected in 1965, there has been some interest in improving East
River Road. People have been asking that something be done. Noting a
substantial amount of interest on behalf of the residents this Council felt
!"� -
SPECIAL PUBL�C HEARING MEETIPdG OF JANUARY 11, 1971 PAGE 7
it necessary to proceed to do something about East River Road. Noting that
this is not a City street, but a County road, the City asked the County to look
into the possibility of improving and upgrading East River Road. Our Adminis-
tration at the direction of this Council was to look into East River Road fxcun
I. 694 to the Coon Rapids limits. The County was asked to prepare someth?4�;;
reduced to writing and this is the plan. The County indicated the necessity
of marshalling their money so they concerned themselves with a portion of the
road and prepared some plans. The City Engineer has talked to the County
Engineer many times. The County realized that they did not have the staff or
facilities to do the study so they hired an outside consulting firm. They
wanted an impartial unbiased opinion and this is why Bather and Associates
was hired. A member of the audience said that these people making the survey
do not live here, they do. The children do not have any place to play now.
University Avenue was financed by government funds, this should be too.
Mayor Harris Pro tem said that they did not know exactly about the funding.
50$ will be Federal funding and the rest would be County cost apportionment.
Mr. Lundheim added that he did not know how this would work out yet.
A member of the audience said that there is already Central Avenue and Univer-
sity Avenue and East River Road should be left as it is. There is the park and
Locke house located on it. When you get to Minneapolis the speed limit is
30 M.P.H. He asked that it be left the way it is_and slow down the traffic.
A lady in the audience said that if there were people in favor of the improve-
ment, why were they not here tonight. Everyone present is against the improve-
nebt. Mayor Harris Pro tem said that some people have spoken in favor of the
signals. The lady said yes, but they are against the widening of East River
Road .
A lady in the audience read a clipping from the newspaper and asked that the
Council be truly representatives of the people and observe their wishes.
Mayor Harris Pro tem said that he felt that �he Council has been responsive.
The Council does not initiate petitions, they come from the people.
A member of the audience said that he had some petitions to present and came
forward and gave them to Mayor Harris Pro tem.
PETITION NO. 2-1971 - OPPOSING IMPROVEMENT OF THE EXTENSION OF ASHTON AVENUE
AND FURTHER THAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE ASSESSED:
PETITION NO. 3-1971 - OPPOSED TO THE CENTER ISLAND IN EAST RIVER ROAD BUT IN
AGREEMENT WITH THE INSTALLATION OF THE SIGNAL LIGHTS:
PETITION NO. 4-1971 - OPPOSED TO STREET IMPROVEMENTS ON 63RD WAY N.E. AT THIS
TIME OR UNTIL THE RAILROAD HAS COMPLETED THEIR IMPROVEMENTS:
PETITION NO. 5-1971 - OPPOSED TO STREET IMPROVEMENT ON 63� WAY AT THIS TIME OR
UNTIL TH� RAILROAD HAS COMPLETED THEIR IMPROVEMENTS:
Mayor Harris Pro tem read the petition headings aloud for the benefit of the
audience.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the foregoing petitions. Seconded by
Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem
declared the motion carried unanimously.
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF .7."�`??.'�kZ`�' 1'_ ;�.`->7�. PAGE 8
Mr. Filister said that widening the r�ad would create more traffic. He
thought it would be wiser co keep East River Road the same width and put in
semaphores and extend them north to slow down the traffic as it comes to this
section. Mayor Harris Pro tem said that the City and County does have a
projection for putting si�-nals at 7yth Avenue, Osborne Road and 71st Avenue.
Mr. Filister asked if this wou3d not slow dowr_ the traffic without widening
the roadway. Mayor Harris Pro tem said that the driving surface would be the
same as it is now. There would still be two lanes each way. There has been
concern expgessed that when there are two oppocing lanes of �r�ffic the tendency
is to wander across the middle into the opposing lane, especially when the
surface is not the best, such as when covered with snow. The County Engineer
added that the lanes would be as they are now; 12' lanes going each direction.
Mr. George Danielson wonderec: what the improvement as proposed would do to
these people living on the east sicie of East River Roac�. He suggested that
Fridley Park could be rezoned to R-3 as it is not suitable for residential
de��elopment because the railroad is going to :^aise the tracks 3 feet and the
encroachment of East River Road, with the noise and traffic. There is an
electric power line running through there that they cannot get rid of. The
underpass on Mississippi Street and East River Road improvement will be a
great expense. He felt that there would be a lot of law suits. The people
are going to have to pay for this at 7�o for many years to co�ne. He said that
his share would be quite costly. He felt that the Council and the County
should take these people's wishes into consideration. Mayor Harris Pro tem
said that they would entertain a petition to rezone Fridley Park if one is
submitted. Mr. Danielson said that he felt that East River Road should be
rezoned to R-3 all the way up as it is not a suitable place to live because
of the traffic noise. He added that most of these people in this area are
just normal working people and cannot afford it. He commented that the median
has been the cause of accidents in Crystal arid St. Louis Park that he knew of.
A member of the audience said that he lived on 63� Way and was in favor of
the semaphores and slowing down the traffic.
Mr. William Sorenson, 15 62� Way N.E., said that he would like to see the
semaphores put in, but leave the rest the way it is. The lights would tend to
slow the speeders down.
A member of the audience said thank you to the Council for allowing them to
speak their minds.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to close the informal public hearing on the East
River Road Improvement Project. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the hearing closed at

RECESS:
Mayor Harris Pro tem declared a recess from 9:35 to 9:55 P.M.
CONSIDERATION OF ADDING ADDITIONAL ELECTRIC SERVICE AND ADDITIONAL LIGHTS TO
PARK BUILDING, 6911 UNIVERSITY AVENUE AND APPROVAL OF CHANGE ORDER N0. 1,
PROJECT #95-B:
The Acting City Manager said th�� �hi� �te� zs r}�t speCifically in the 1971
budget. The water improvement bonds were used to finance the well house.
This would run 20 years so this does not have to be in the 1971 budget.
�

, Councilman Liebl said that he would concur with Change Order #1, with the
emphasis on the flood lights. The City Engineer said that now the trans-
former is on pole. With this Change Order the transformer would be on the
� ground and the controls would be inside the building. This would provide f���
the addition of some more poles and flood lights for both winter and summer
use. This would be much the same arrangement as for Commons Park.
Councilman Breider wondered if this is not done now, how much additional it
wonld be when it is put in. The City Engineer said that there is a normal
increase in labor and materials. The park facilities could be used later in the
evenings with this lighting.
Councilmen Harris and 8reider indicated that they would be against taking
anything more out of the park budget. The Acting City Manager said that it
could be budgetted into the 1972 budget. Councilman Harris said that there is
a possibility that there may be some left over in the 1970 budget. The City
Engineer said that there is money in the utility bond fund. It could be
bor.rowed for one year, and paid back at 7� ?r.terest. If the project was
del.ayed, it would be 10� - 15� higher.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to concur with the Change Order #1 for Project
#95-B. Seconded by Councilman Harris.
MOTION AMENDED by Councilman Breider to give the Parks and Recreation Depart-
ment direction that nothing is to be deleted from their 1971 budqet for this
expenditure. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem declared the amendment caxried unanimously.
UPON THE MOTION, being a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Harris Pro tem
declared the motion carried unanimously.
The City Engineer suggested that the Council authorize the signing of the
Change Order if less than $4500, so it would not have to be brought back before
the Council.
DISCUSSION REGARDING WAIVER OF BOND FOR STREET CONSTRUCTION AND RELEASING
MONIES FOR UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS FOR HEATHER HILLS. RE UESTED BY MIKE O'BANNON:
PETITION N0. 6-1971:
The City Attorney said that he had talked to Mr. Mike O'Bannon on two occasions.
He suggested that Mr. O'Bannon petition the City for construction of the street
if it is not completed by August 15, 1971, which he has done. He advised that
the City would be protected with this communication on file.

DISCUSSION REGARDING DISPOSAL OF DIRT AND ROCK MATERIAL AVAILABLE FROM
BURLINGTON NORTfIERN RAILROAD YARD EXPANSION AS PER RAILROAD PETITIOI�:
PAGE 10
The City Enqineer explained tYiat there will be a sizable amount of material
available with Burlington Northern's yard construction. This material could
be used on private property, and he suggested that the letter as it appears
in the Agenda could be sent out to the property owners. He said that he would
like ta move quickly sc that t'rie designated points for the fill would be set
when Burlington rlorther.� starts the.�_Y c��i��tr?lction.
Councilman Harris said that in Item #t5 t.here is no set time limit by which the
property owners have to achieve the grading to proper levels. He felt that
there should be a time limit set. The Cit}� Engineer suggested that the words,
"that it be done within the current construction season" could be added.
Councilman Harris agreed and added that if the work is not done, then the City
would do the grading, and charge the cost back to the property owner.
Councilman Harris suggested that there also be a provision that the property
owner should sign the agreement agreeing to all the conditions.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the communication written by the
City Engineer for sending to the property owners and add the additional wordage
as outlined. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
Mayor Harris P�o tem declared the motion carried unanimously.
CONSIDERATION OF A�REEMENT BETWEEN VIEWCON, INC. AND THE CITY IN RELATION TO
THE DEVELOPMENT OF INNSBRtJCK NORTH AREA:
The City Engineer said that the agreement has been rough drafted by him and
a copy has been given to the City Attorney and to Viewcon. This is to pro-
tect the interests of the City of Fridley. It might be in need of some clean-up
of the language by the City Attorney.
Mr. Darrel Farr, Representative from Viewcon, Inc. said that he had reviewed
the agreement and they are working toward a second reading of the rezoning
ordinance on January 18th. The agreement appears to cover what has been talked
about in the past, and they would be willing to sign the agreement. They have
the easerR�nt for the access to Silver Lake Road and Mr. Van Ekout, their
Engineer, has talked to the City Enqineer about the utilities. He would like
to request that these items be assessed. They are prepared to bond for the
maintenance of the street in New Brightori for five years. The people living
in the condominium will be maint��.inirig "this road in New Brighton after five
years in the easterly portion of the project, through a Home Owners Association.
The City Engineer suqgested also that there be an easement for a road that would
run from the road to New Brighton to the north for future protection. Council-
man Harris asked if then, if the road is constructed through New Brighton, to
Silver Lake Road, would the easement be given back to the pro�erty owners? The
City Attorney suggested leaving the easement along the easterly line as it is
conceivable that it might be needed.
Councilman Liebl said that the agreement drawn up seems to cover everything
that has been discussed. He asked Mr. Farr if he coulcl live up to this
agreement and Mr. Farr said yes. He said that it was critical that the utility
improvements be assessed to them in the dedicated property portion. The
,

PP,GE 11
City Engineer pointed out that none of the other property owners would be
charged for the re-modification of the utilities, only Viewcon. The City
Attorney said that the agreement asks the developer to assume a certain amcunt
for the utilities whether they pay cash or through the spreading of asses:;�
ments. It is critical that this .is in contractural form.
Councilman Breider asked how many buildings can be built before the sewer
line would overflow. The City ENgineer said that there is no problem in that
area. He has already presented the Council with the plans for taking action
on the sanitary sewer mains modification. Viewcon would have to pay $160,000
before December 31, 1971 for the sanitary sewer system modification. He said
that the City would have to build an additional facility to take care of the
problems they already have.
. Councilman Harris said that it has been discussed that Viewcon is to start
their single family homes simultaneously with the multiple development. He
asked if this was going to be done. Mr. Farr said that they have assured the
people that their first step would be to petition the City for sewer and water
and roads in the single family portion first. Councilman Harris said that he
would like to see it spelled out in the agreement that Viewcon agrees to start
With the single family homes either.before or simultaneously with the R-3
portion. Mr. Farr said that they plan on bringing in the trucks and equiFxnent
for construction from the New Brighton side, from Silver Lake Road, so it is
necessary that they start completion of the road from the east side. He
added that the people have been told that they would start on the single family
homes first, as that is their plan. He pointed out that if it was not for the
R-3 portion, the R-1 would sit there undeveloped. The east side will subsidize
the west side.
The City Attorney said that if it is the intent of Viewcon to have everything
, ready by January 18th for the second reading, there is a lot of paper work
still to be done. He said that all the documents should be signed and completed
before the second reading. He said that their attorney will have to turn over
' to him a number of fairly detailed documents. Viewcon would have to have all
the proof of ownership, have all the easements and whatever covenants they would
be bound by in readiness. He said that he understood that there would be
� covenants on the single family area, and these would all have to be drafted and
signed by Viewcon and the fee owners. Mr. Farr agreed that the restrictive
covenants for the single family lots would take some time, but they would like
to have the second reading. Councilman Harris suggested that if Viewcon were
' to have the agreement of the Council, he could proceed. He offered to poll the
Council on the agreement to give Viewcon an idea that they are willing to
Proceed. He said that he would be willing to give his assurance that the
, agreement would be accepted. The City Attorney said that he would be happy
to work with their attorney.
,
'
'
Councilman Kelshaw asked if, when the construction is started, would the
trucks and equipment be brought in from the west side through Innsbruck? Mr.
Farr said that their intention is to bring in from the east side and that is
what they told the people. The City Engineer added that the City would be
doing the work on the westerly portion, and that it is a two phase type of
operation. Councilman Kelshaw asked if the City would be using Silver Lake
Road and the City Engineer said not necessarily, they would use the road most
feasible.
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETINv OF J�NUAFcY 11, 1971

Councilman Liebl suggested that Viewcon's attorney meet with the City Attorney
and try to have all the documents ready for the second reading for the first
Meeting in February.
Councilman Breider asked about #1 of the agreement concerning platting. The
City Engineer said that they might have homes started but they could not be
ocaupied because the facilities are not done. Councilman Breider asked about
Item #4 concerning the road in New Brighton. The City Engineer said that the
City of Fridley wants assurance that it will meet the City's minimum standards,
so Fridley would approve their design. This will be a private road but it
will still have to meet our standards. Councilman Breider asked about the
ponding area. The City Engineer said that Outlot B is the ponding area. It
is now an existing pond. The development will end up with two holding ponds.
Mayor Harris Pro tem polled the�Council to see if they agree with the agree-
ment with the addition that five single family homes have to be built
simultaneously with the multiple dwellings. The Council indicated that they
were in agreement. The City Attorney asked whether the construction of the
utilities can be assessed rather than payment in cash and the Council agreed.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the communication and agreement.

Councilman Liebl asked if the health problem at Shar's Snack Bar has been taken

less cooking and frying onions. According to the letter in the Agenda, they
have until next October to correct the situation, so everything is taken care
of satisfactorily.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to approve the licenses as presented. Seconded

declared the motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION REGARDING SOME OF THE ALTERNATES AVAILABLE I1V THE PROPOSED SNOW-
MOBIiE ORDINANCE:
The City Attorney said that he had passed out a memorandum to the Council on
what authority they do and do not have. Within the framework of the model
Ordinance Hennepin County has put out the Council can adopt that Ordinance
with whatever choices they wish to adopt. Snowmobiles could be ccxnpletely
banned provided there is good and sufficient reason, or they may be controlled
by regulating speed and the hours that they may run.
Councilman Liebl said that if the Council could, he would like to ban snow-
mobiles from the City streets. The City Attorney said that it would probably
take a finding by the City Council by resolution that suowmobiles on municipal
streets are a nuisance and a hazard. Councilman Liebl pointed out that there are
Highways #47 and #65 going through the City of Fridley. The City Attorney said
that they could be banned from city streets but allowed to use on county and
state roads within the.limitations of the State statutes.
Councilman Harris said that he would be against a total ban of snowmobiles. It
is a case of one bad apple spoiling the barrel. The majority of snowmobilers
use discretion. Councilman Liebl said that he would like to get the nuisance
away from the residential areas. Councilman Harris said that he would like to
see them kept off waterways. The snowmobiles have chased skaters off the creek.
He thought it would be asking too much to have every snowmobiler have to load
his snowmobile onto a trailer every time he wanted to use it, and that tota�
prohibition is too strong. Councilman Breider suggested restricting the speed
to and from designated areas. He asked that the Acting City Manager consult
with the Chief of Police. The Acting City Manager said that he had told him to
talk to the City Attorney. The City Attorney said that the Chief had suggested
a 20 M.P.H, speed limit and adopting the hours adopted by Hennepin County. The
Acting City Manager said that in a memorandum from the Chief of Police he
indicated very few problems. There have been no recorded accidents, and they
have not had much trouble with them. Mayor Kirkham said that it is the Council
SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETIDIG OF JAPJUARY 11, i971
PAGE 14
that gets the complaints. Councilman Haxris pointed out that previously
when banning them was discussed there wexe a lot of people protesting this
action. Councilman Kelshaw pointed out that many communities do not allow
them on the City streets. The City Attorney said that they could cross
streets providing they do it according to the State statntes. The Attorney
General has ruled that they could be prohibited from going up and down the
street, but not a direct crossing.
Mr. Richard Harris said that he did not believe that the City had the right to
prohibit snowmobiles on the waterways. He thought that the regulation of
all public waters was under the control of the Conservation Department. He
said that he tvvuld like to see them banned from the river. Mayor Harris Pro
tem asked that the City Attorney look into this.
Councilman Liebl said that he would like to see the criteria discussed tonight
put into the Ordinance by the City Attorney and have it ready for the second
reading. He said that the majority of the complaints to him were on excessive
speed. There have also been cases of snowmobiles being run close to a sliding
hill where children were playing. Councilman Kelshaw felt that the City should
adopt a tough Ordinance. Councilman Liebl felt that they could use the open
spaces and the park areas. Councilman Harris said that he felt that they should
be allowed to use the streets to get to these designated areas.
Councilman Kelshaw asked how do you determine 20 M.P.H. without a speedometer.
How are the squad cars to clock the speed? If the Police Department cannot
determine who is speeding, this would mean citizen's arrest�. Councilman
Kelshaw asked how do you stop them from crossing private property. There are
some people who will abide by the law, but there are some �hat will not.
He felt that they should use the parks.
Councilman Harris suggested that they let the Anoka County League of
Municipalities work on this. Maybe they could come up with something uniform
for the whole county rather than have many different Ordinances.
Councilman Breider asked that the City Attorney write this up with 20 M.P.H.
He said that he would like to have it clear in his mind how this is to be
enforced. The Acting City Manager said that he supposed that they would use
radar the same as for an automobile. The City Attorney said that he suspected
that the Police Department and the Highway Department will need snowmobiles to
enforce the Oxdinances. Mayor Kirkham said that they could still estab�ish the
20 M.P.H.�to regulate the responsible driver. He added that if this is turned
over to the Anoka County League of Municipalities, this would mean a whole
season without regulation.
The Council discussed the hours they should be allowed to run and decided that
it should be 7:00 A.M. to curfew at 9:30 P.M. In summation the Council
directed the City Attorney to draw up the Ordinance stating a 20 M.P.H. speed
limit, hours to be from 7:00 A.M. to 9:30 P.M. and that they are only to run
on the streets to get to and from designated places.
The Acting City Manager said that he had talked to the Parks Director about
opening up the North Park area for snowmobiling.

The City Attorney suggested that the regulations should be published in the
paper, with the warning if they are not abided by, snowmobiles would have to
be banned from the City streets if there are too many complaints received.
The Parks Director said that if North Park is opened, there would be a lot of
area for snowmobiles to run in this City. Some of the towns do not have these
areas. People going up and down the block are where the complaints are coming
from. The newspaper should also designate where they are prohibited.

MOTION by Councilman Liebl to adjourn the Meeting. Seconded by Councilman

JANUARY 14, 1971
HOCKEY PLAYING - SIJNIMIT MANOR PARK
560-3450
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55421
The City recently received a petition signed by quite a number of
people in the area of Summit Manor Park asking that hocke
allowed during certain regulated hours, and asking for morePfencingbto
protect the property. The City did put up signs setting gene�al skating
hours from 3;30 P. M. to 8:00 P. M., and the hours for hockey playing
from 8 P, M. to 9:30 P. M. I also asked the Park Director to install
some type of temporary fencing directly opposite of the Schroeder home.
This fence would have to be installed on top of the existing chain link
fence. The chain link fence has been put in within the past year. The
Schroder's make reference to broken basement windows. This apparently
happened before the present chain�link fence was installed.
At the time these hockey pucks came through the Schroeder's windows,
' there was a prohibition on all hockey playing in the area, It is almost
impossible to stop the boys in the area from playing hockey unless some-
one is posted at this rink 12 to 16 hours per day. This rink does not
� have a warming house and we do not have money in the budget for an
attendant at this rink. The people in the area, some of whom signed
the petition, did volunteer to police the hockey playing if we set up
a split schedule.

Re: Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Schroeder
' 5157 Hughes Avenue N. E.
Fridley, Minnesota
Gentlemen:
' I have been retained by Mr, and Mrs. Sch roede
of interests between their right to quiet andrpeacefulmoccupationCOfstheiraproperty
, and the public's use of Summit Manor Park. I am sure that you are aware of
the existing problem so this letter will only serve as a reiteration of the
present situation.
Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder's homestead irrmediately adjoins Sumnit Manor Park.
Historically, it is rqy understanding that the public has been prohibited from
playing hockey at this park. Unfortunately this prohibition has not been enforced
with regularity, and consequently, the Schroeder's have incurred considerable
damage to their home. Despite a four foot fence separating the rink from the
Schroeder's yard, hockey pucks have twice broken basement windows. Mr. Schroeder
has covered his basement windows with wire screening. A very short time ago,
a hockey puck came through a bedroom window spraying shards of glass around
the interior of that bedroom. Aside from the damage to their home, Mr. and Mrs.
Schroeder found this extremely unsettling as their two year old boy had been
standing at that bedroom window just a few minutes prior to this incident.
I understand that Mr. Schroeder promptly placed wire mesh over the windows on
the East side of his home. While this measure will perhaps prevent a repetition
of the incident I described, it unfortunately creates a real hazard in case of
fire in that the bedroom windows are effectively boarded up. Mr. and Mrs.
Schroeder now understand that at a recent council meeting, a petition from the
floor was entertained and the prohibitionagainst hockey was repealed and hockey
is now to be allowed between 8 P.M. and 9:30 P.M. on weekday nights. Mr. and
Mrs. Schroeder and adjoining property owners were not notified of this action.
Since the apparent repeal of the prohibition, hockey is played at various times
during the day particularly on week end; and even between the specified hours,
there has been no supervision.

Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder have asked me to obtain a court order abating this
nuisance. I, of course, would like to see this matter settled amicably. I
believe the Schroeders have suffered patiently through a trying experience.
I earnestly hope that you will entirely review the suitability of Sumnit
Manor Park as a hockey rink. Mr. and Mrs. Schroeder specifically demand that the
City of Fridley immediately halt the unauthorized and unsupervised use of
Summit Manor Park for hockey, if necessary by regular police patrolling with
attendant arrests of violators.
Kindly advise me of your intentions at your very earliest convenience.
L�JN/a
Very truly yours,
HALL, SMITH, JUSTER, FEIKEMA & HASKVITZ

COrB�IITTEE APPOINTMENTS
It has been the practice to affirm all committee
appointments by resolution, In this way the appointments
become part of a record that is indexed and filed in such
a manner that it is easily referred to. All of the
committee appointments for the year will be in one reso-
lution.
The only appointments not made to date are to the
Human Relations Committee and Mayor Pro Tem. When the
people have been selected for the Human Relations Co�nittee,
and the Mayor Pro Tem has been selected, it would be in
order for the Council to pass the resolution.

FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA 55421
CITY COUNCIL
MARVIN C. BRUNSELL, ACTING CITY MANAGER
JANUARY 14, 1971
REQUEST FOR BUILDING PERMIT BY RAO CORP.
This item is being brought to the City Council's
attention at this time because if the plant is built
as requested by RAO Corporation, it would be impossible
to extend S[arLight Blvd. through to Mississippi Street.
The current City plans call for this street to be
extended as part of the overall City State aid street
plan. There are no zoning problems involved.

and no outside work or storape.
This comnan,y was founded on C�ctober 2,1920 and was incorporated

Cr. Julp ?i;,1970 we entered i_nto a purchase a�rFement to acquire
S.Ii acres of 1_and in the City of �'r;cle,y. The pronert,y is bounded on the
1 r.orth by P:ississir�oi :�treet, on i,ne west b�- the ri�ht of wa,y o` the Great
� Northern ar�d P;ert'r�ern Pacific Railr�a,y$, on tne south b� a line 3�0 feet

nronerty line of the t�'inneanolis 'iouse rurnishin�s „omna.rry. �::onditions
of tre �urc�-ase a�reement re�ard�nr soil tests and survey have been
satisfiec�. Closin� date will be on or before January 31,1971 if this
request for land use is a�nroved.
Construction of our initial buildin� would probablv take place in
about two vears. '?'his buildin� would be ao�roximatel,y I�0,000 square feet
in area and located on the westerl.y portion of the land near the railway
right of way. Antici�ated �rowth over a period of years would be accomodated
by expansion of the initial �uil�in,T to an eventual i5,00C square feet
whi ch would conf'orm to the �;��� 1_and usage reouirement for single storied
manufacturin� facilities. The east,erly 2�11 feet of this pro�ert�� is
presentl,y zoned commercial and it would be necessarv to rezone 121 feet
of the westerly portion of this commercial land to industrial if 1�0� land
usa�e is to be achieved.
`r'e are unable to nrovide snecific construction plans at this
time. The buildin� would be single story, neat and clean in apoearance,
an� woulc� conform to all buildin� requirements of the ^ity of Fridley.
Fntrance to the proz�ertv would be from Mississippi Street onl,y�as all
oriFir.all�� �latted roads throuPh this oro�ert,y will be permanentiv
vacated. C�ur buildinU, truck loadin� area, and drivewa��s would he �enerallv
to the west and north in consideration of the residential area tc the
south and the shopoin� center to the east. Drivewa��s would be curbed and
blacktopped, additional shrubs and trees planted, and underground sprinklers
would be installed in lawn areaso VJe would preserve, as much as is possible,
the natural and wooded characteristics of the land.
�^-e hone that our pro,iections for land use meet with ,your ap�roval.

�
The Riverview Heights area was the only axea o£ substantial
size which flooded i.n 1965.
. Last year we built an elevated road�tay running along
79th Way and Riverview Texrace which fias su�stantially reduced
the hazard of £looding for the area behind this elevated
roadway. However, the area South of 79th Way has no additional
protection and is susceptible to £looding just as i.n the past.
The location of these areas is shown on the attached map.
For the area to be eligible for subsi,dized i,nsurance
from the �ederal Government through H.U.D., the City has to
enact special land use regulation and control measures, designed
to reduce the exposure of the area to flood hazards, by
December 31, 1971.
Because of the stigma attached to calling an area a
£lood plai,n, which might reduce the value oi the properties
and also impose substantial xestrictions on any additional
construction in the area, I feel that a Public Hearing should
be held inviting all the people in the area to advise them of the
possible choices available to them, so that the people have a
chance to let their feelings be known to the City Council
before any of these measures are adopted by the City,
� The summary of the Federal program for subsidized
insurance for flood plain areas as available through H,U.D, i,s
outlined in the attached memo from Peter Herlofsky.

MEMO FROM; �eter J. Herlofsky
MEMO DATE: Decemh�r 14, 1970
RE: Flood Insurance Information
The flood insurance program in question was established under the
Housing and Urban Developmeut Act of 1968 to make limited amounts of flood
insurance, which was previously unavailable from private insurers, available
to property owners by means of a Federal subsidy. In return for this subsidy,
the act requires that State and Local governments adopt and enforce land
use and control measures that will guide future development of land in
flood-prone areas in order to avoid or reduce future flood damage.
The requirements also state that the community must formally commit
themselves by enacting legislation to maintain in force for areas having
special flood hazards, adequate land use and control measures designed to
reduce exposure to these hazards by December 31, 1971. If these requirements
are not satisfied, actuarial rates, instead of the subsidized rates, will
then apply to this coverage. The following is a table of the subsidized
rates: •

It should be noted also that State regulations governing flood plain
management have been adopted, and that these regulations have already
required pur community to submit a letter of intent, which was submit�ed
in June of Chis year. The State regulations at this time are not mandatory
and offer basically guidance and assistance, but if local governments choose
to be uncooperative, a more forceful approach may be introduced to the
State legislature.
, The improvements in the Riverview Heights' area have not been appxoved
by the Corps of Engineers for removing the area from the Flood Plain,
although the improvement will reduce the probability of flooding to a
minimum. The people in the area have shown an aversion to this type of
' land regulation because of a fear of their property being devalued, but
the fina� decision in this matter should be given to the residents.

In reference to your letter of December llth, 1970 I have prepared
a Quit Claim Deed for easement, a copy of which I am enclosing,
and had forwarded to the Grays' attorney, Mr. Barna, for signature.
The Grays are the Contract Purchasers and the Laboes are the Fee
Owners so they would all have to join in the Deed.
I would appreciate your checking the legal description to make
sure the City does obtain the 10 foot easement needed to provide
access.
Enclosed you will find Mr. Barna's letter indicating his clients
are insisting on $150.00 indicating that $50.00 of the amount they
want is for some damage done to their property.
Because of the nature of the problem and the expense of going through
Condemnation to resolve the problem it is my recommendation that the
City do pay $150.00 for acquisition of the easement to provide access
to 1152 Norton Avenue N.E.
In the event the City would improve the easement then I believe
the cost should be accessed against 1152 Norton Avenue since I do
not believe they have previously been accessed for any street improve-
ments.
Please advise whether or not the legal description is correct and,
further, whether the City will pay the $150.00 and I will then ask
Mr. Barna to proceed to have the Quit Claim Deed executed.
Very truly yours,

' Please be advised that I had Mr, Louis Gray in my office
discussing the granting of the easement to the Village of
Fridley. Mr. Gray has been a long resident in this area and
' had received an injury at work and has been only partially
employed for the past several years.
He indicated to me that he was willing to accept the $100.00
' from the City for the purchase of the easement, but that
sometime last Summer one of the City officials or employees
had indicated to the people living to the west of Mr. Gray
' that they could drive over a certain portion of his lawn, which
they did.
�J
'
Mr. Gray thereafter complained to the City about this and
nothing was done and the people continued driving over the
northwestern part of his property at an angle. He indicates
t'hat damage done was in the amount of $50.00 and, therefore,
he is requesting the sum of $150.00.
I feel a bit embarrassed writing this letter and indicated to
' him that it would be so for me to do this, but he will not
sign the deed until he is assured that he will receive $150.00.
'
'
�
I might add that no part of the award is to be taken by me
for attorney's fees.
Very truly yours ,

RE: Fridley Condemnation 31257
North Park Acquisi:tion
Dear Marvin:
I send you a xerox copy of a letter that I f�ave received from Mr.
Finkelstein. You will recall that I have deleted Parcel 3000 from
the condemnation, leaving only Parcel 10 in the appeal. I did propose
that we pay hi:m $5QO.QQ attorney's fees as costs. The Statute does
allow costs in case a condemnation is dismissed. Mr. Barbush did not
use an �xpert appraiser. Tfie only real expense he had was for attorney's
fees.
I recommend payment of $500.Q0 and suggest that you process it for payment.

to the Parcel 3G00 deleted f-�or.; t:ze Condemnation

Rather than havin� to proceec; wi�.: .iotions and addi�ional

Parcel, I have been autno-rized �o accept $500.00 for the
costs involved as to the dismissed Parcel.
Perhaps your Successor caould iii:e to discuss with me our
