VISITORS:
Mr. Ronald L. Slato, 6335 Pierce Street
Mr. Slato came forward with pictures of his back yard to present to the Council
and said that he had already talked to the Crty Attorney and the City Engineer,
regarding a ditch the County moved and now causes problems wrth £looding with his
back pard. This drtch, he was assured, was not supposed to cause any more problems,
but last fall the ditch was cleaned and made deeper and now when it rains his
back yard is under water. He said that the City Attorney talked to the County ,
Attorney and the County says that the problem was caused by the work the City did.
The water spreads weeds and garbage. He said that the letter from the City
Attorney said that the County Attoxney feels that the pro}ect they did�did not
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5� 1971

� cause the problem and he told the City Attorney that he wanted his yard raised
and filled in with dirt. He said that he did not know the exact depth oP the
ditch but thought that it was 6' - 8' deep. He asked that the Council help
him with his problem or he would have to sue the City and County to have his
prablem solved.
Mayor Kirkham asked him if he understood correctly that his back yard did noL-
£lood until the ditch was moved. Mr. Slato said that was correct, he lived L-here
five years and did not have any problem until the Coun�y moved the ditch.
The City Engineer said that the County realigned the ditch that ran through
Cochran's property and it now runs along the roadway_ The problem is accentuated
because the storm sewer the County put in brings the storm water faster to the
ditch. If it is a matter of three or four loads of dirt, the City could do this,
but he questioned if it is the respansibility of the City to spend puY�lic funds
on private property. Councilman Liebl asked i£ he felt that the Crty of Fridley
was responsible for this problem. The City Engineer said that it is a matter of
a badly needed storm sewer system. This is the only ma�or area in the City not
having a storm sewer system. The cost is qurte high and the City has felt that
until the area develops more fully the improvement would have to wait. This has
been a difficult area for the last eight years, and the difficulty is increasing
Mr. Slato said that since they changed the ditch to the south side of Rice Creek
Road, the manhole floods. It never flooded before. This manhole floods and backs
� up to several homes on Central Avenue. He said that this area is quite developed,
so why does the Engineer £eel that it is not. The City Engineer explained that
this district would encompass a very large amount of area. Mr. Slato said that it
is his belief that this ditch was moved illegally and the course of the water
changed. He said that he would like to know how long it would be before he could
get some action.
Mayor Kirkham said that this problem cannot be resolved tonight. In the next few
weeks the City �ngineer, County Engineer and the City Attoreny could get together
and check this out and report back to the Council.
Wyman Smith, 211 Logan Parkway N.E.
Mr. Smith said that between himself and two neighbors, �zey have lost 26 trees
into Glen Creek through erosion. Some of the trees were at least 50 years old.
He felt that this was due to the increase in storm water from Melody Manor and
other recently developed areas. He said that he would like to get this resolved.
He said that he knew that the City Engineer and the Assistant Engineer have
given this some consideration in the past. He felt that he and his neighbors have
been patient. The storm water from the east side of the railroad tracks all runs
into this creek. He said that the erosion problem is terrible, he did not know
how to solve it, but there must be some engineering solution. This problem is
about five years old now and will probably get worse and should be solved
Councilman Breider asked if there were some studies available on Stony Brook
� Creek. The City Engineer said that if the City is willing to spend the money �ze
problem could be solved. There were studies made in 1963 for a storm sewer system
that Mr. Slato mentioned. If the City does not choose to spend the money, the
�ob cannot be taken care of. The public hearings could be proceeded with at any
time the Council orders. Councilman Breider asked if the Engineer could supply
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5� 1971 PAGE 3
the information by the end of the month. The City Enqineer explained that with the �
Glen Creek problem, it is a matter of what the neighborhood wants. The problem
is that heavy equipment cannot be moved in and any other method is very costly.
There is also the matter of who has control, the City or the Water Conservation
Department, and can the City expend City funds for it. There will be construction
easements needed to go onto other people's property and the people will have to
be willing to cooperate.
Councilman Breider asked that the City Engineer bring back information on Glen
Creek and Stony Brook Creek and the City Engineer said that he would.
Judge Elmer Johnson, 6490 Riverview Terrace:
Judge Elmer Johnson said that he would like to bring an item before the Council
concerning his taxes and road assessments on a lot between Mississippi Way and
Riverview Terrace. He said that he had a piece o£ land about 117' X 250' and
when the large apartment complex went in to the north of him he was approached
in regard to a piece of land needed for an exit from that apartrnent complex to
make an exit going south. He said that he had talked to the Acting City Manager
and to his Councilman and he got the £eeling zn cases like this where he had to
give up the land but he would have no use for it, that there was a special formula
used that would give concessions to th�se persons giving up their land. This
road was built so high he cannot use it as the car scrapes the bottom, so he
does not have access to this road. Councilman Liebl has taken this up with the
Council wiih no success. He said that he called to find out his taxes and
special assessments and to his astonishment he found that he was being assessed �
for this road. There should bE no assessment as he had to sacrifice the land.
He was assessed about $800 for this road that is an advantage to the apartment
complex He said that the road is of no value to him, and the land would be more
valuable without tne road. I3e said that he also got a raise in taxes,
and they �umped over $600 this year and he is now retired and felt that he could
not pay this high tax. He sazd that his land was cut from 6� acres to 1.2 acres.
He said that he realized that the tax 7ump wa5 largely due to the school district,
72% of the tax goes to the schools. He said that he could not and would not
pay it He said that it lies within the 7urisdiction of the Counml to do
something about the road assessment for a road that does him no good. The road
should have been made so that rt would be possible £or him to use it. He got no
compensation and had to give up his land.
Mayor Kirkham said that he would have the Acting City Manager look into this
assessment and report back to the Council. The Aating City Manager said that if
there is no benefit, he cannot be assessed for it and he would check it out and
put it on the next regular Agenda.
Sudqe Johnson said that he would like to bring up another matter before the Council.
He said that he conveyed qxeetings from IIrooklyn Center from a meeting held there
in regard to Durnam Island. Srooklyn Park was also present at the meeting but
there were not any Councilmen from Fridley. There is a proposed 15 million dollar
pro�ect being proposed for Durnam Island, which would include a marina, swimming
pools etc. This is land belonqinq to Brooklyn Park and they want to resist this �
proposal in every way. They are adamant that this thing must not happen. He said
that he was under the impression that the Council aiso agreed with this stand and
said so. Their plans call for filling in on the east side and the services are to
come from Fridley. He said that he said at the meeting that it would never go
i�� �'�° r�7
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5, 1971 PAG� 4
, through, then he was embarrassed to be informed when the committee was being
formed to resist it, that Fridley was in favor of the proposal. The City
Engineer has said that it could be done. Then he had to appologize when he found
that he did not have the backxng of the Council. He said that in 1965 the river
raised up on the bank to over 19', yet they plan on raising the island only 15'.
Fridley's sister cities have approached their lega.slators and are trying to get
help from the state to resist this. He said that Mr. O'Bannon, County Commissioner,
is opposed to the plan. He asked that the Council think this through seriously
and added tllat those on the river would have their property ruined.
Councilman Liebl said that Judge Johnson called him in regard to his taxes and
assessments and he advised him to go before the Board of Equalization Meeting
held in June in regard to his taxes.
Carl Paulson, Suilding Code:
Mr. Carl Paulson said that his comment deals with the proposal to amend the
Building Code. The Veterans Administration had a condition that requxred
insulation in their plans. The V.A. has removed this requirement now, and
Fridley's Building Code does not require it. The insulation should be placed,
then the Inspector should make an inspection, as a contractor could be unscrupulous
and skip the insulation and the home owner would be the loser.
FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE FOR REZONING REQUEST ZOA #71-01, BY VIKING CHEVROLET
� TO REZONE FROM M-2 (HEAVY INDUSTRIAL AREA) TO C-2 (GENERAL BUSINESS AREA) FOR PART
OF THE NORTHWEST � OF THE NORTHWEST 2 OF SECTION 2, T-30, R-24:
Mayor Kirkham asked if this could be postponed to anotfier meeting as Councilman
Harrzs was not present. Mr. Wyman Smith of Viking Chevrolet, said that they
hoped to get the first reading tonight as they have an option until May lst.
There are some conditions to work out with Mr. Barbush. This could be worked
out with him after the first reading and be£ore the second. He said that these
things will all work out and they are in agreement with everything presented by
the City. They were hopeful they would not have to get an extension on their
option.
Councilman Liebl said that he would have one question first. He said that he
wanted them to be in agreement with the stipulation regarding the Plats and
Subdzvisions Subcommittee's question about the utilities. He wanted to know that
these people will know in adaance that they will be assessed for the utilities.
Mr. Smith said that he could be help£ul in getting a petition signed, if the
Acting City Manager or the City Engineer will give him a petition, he will try
to get it signed.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to approve the Ordinance on first reading and waive
the reading. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw. Upon a roll call vote, Breider,
Kelshaw, Kirkham, and Liebl voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.
RECEIVING COMMLINICATION FROM CITY MANAGER REGARDING F
, Councilman Harra.s arrived at the Meeting at 8:30 P.M.
Mayor Kirkham commented that he was as interested as anyone in getting funds for
the City, but the more he studied revenue shara.ng, the less he liked it. He said
that he could not go along with a resolution £avoring revenue sharing. He said
g ^� � � ��
� � J � �
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5, 1971 PAGE 5
that he could not see where there was any revenue to share, the Fedexal Government ,
is in debt. It wa.11 ultimately come fron our pockets first. Counailman Liebl
said that if the people are to be saved some money it shou�Ld start with lowering
taxes. He said that reading the news, he felt that this bill had very little
chance of getta.ng out of the House. He said let's cut some of the Federal taxes.
He said that he too did not see where there was any left over money.
Councilman Breider questioned Page 27 and 28, Powers of the Secretary, under the
Bill, Senate #6H0, where it states that the Federal Government may withhold money.
He�asked if this went through, how much would Fridley get. The Acting City
Manager said they talked about in the neighborhood of $200,000 to $500,000.
Councilman Breider asked what kind of rules and regulations are they talkinq about,
would they be reasonable? The City Attorney said that in vzew of what the
Federal Government has done in other areas, you might expect them to use this
as a means to accomplish certain ob�ectives. There might be rules and regulations
regarding discrimination or relating to housing of the unemployed. This would
relate to states rather than individual cities. If the payment to the state
is withheld, there would still be payments made to the communities.
Councilman Breider asked if this were to go through, and the City were to get
this money, then someone came before the Counca.l with a proposal for low income
housing under HUD, and if this proposal was rejected, then would the City be
liable to have the Federal funds cut off� The City Attorney said that this was
a possibility.
Councilman Breider questioned if the funds were cut off during the year, where '
would the funds come from for the rest of the year. Counci]man Breider said
that the intent was to reduce local taxes and to give this money in oxder to be
able to reduce the mill levy. Mayor Kirkham commented that if the budget was
adopted using this money, then it was cut off, the City would be in a bad way.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to receive the communication from Representative
Frenzel dated February 24, 1971, the memorandum from the Acting City Manager
dated March 22, 1971 and Senate Sill #680. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried
unanimously.
APPROVAL OF STATEMENTS OF IINDERSTANDING - LIQUOR STORES:
The Acting City Manager said that on Page 3S, Item #4, relating to the cost of
leasing the south half of the present building should be changed from $2.25 to
$2.50 per square foot. Councilman Liebl asked if all the other items are agreed
upon and the Actzng City Manager said yes.
MOTION by Councilman Kelshaw to adopt the Statement of Understanding for the
Liquor Store at 3710 East River Road. Seconded by Councilman Liebl. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Ka.xkham declared the motion carried unan�.znously.
The Acting City Manager said that there were a lot of things yet to be worked out
in regard to the sale of 6161 Highway #65 wrth the high bidder. This is why '
there is not yet too much down on paper.

� Councilman Liebl questioned whether there was a time limit set for awarding the
bids. The Acting City Manager said that there was no time limit set in the
bid notice. The City Attorney said the City of Fridley would have a reasonable
time to either accept of reject the bids. He continued that the high bidder is
trying to get his financing through the Small Business Association. He said he
talked with the high bidder and also his attorney and they feel that the financing
will be approved, but they do not have anything positive at this time. He said
that he did not think that the bids could be awarded until this contingency has
been taken care of. He suggested that the bids be tabled for one more week to allow
the high bidder to get a firm commitment from the SBA.
Councilman Harris said $iat he understood that the property the high bidder now owns
is being removed for a freeway and the Acting City Manager said yes. He said that
he understood Councilman Liebl's concern regarding the time element and that some
limit should be placed on how long tha.s can be kept open. The Acting City Manager
said that he had told the SBA office that the City could only wait another week.
Mr. Rallis, Attorney for Mr. George Nicklow said that Mr. Nicklow is now ready to
go ahead with the work and would like to start. He said that Mr. Nicklow's son,
Tony, will be the manager of the store.
Mr. Joe Daszkiewicz said that he was the high bidder for Shorewood and he must
appologize for the time taken in getting his loan. He said that he has done
everything possible to hurry it along. The SBA office has assured him that he
� qualified for the loan as he was in a displaced area. He thought that by next
week he should have the proof.
N1r. Ray Sheridan questioned what was in the statements of understanding and the
Acting City Manager gave him copies.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to approve the Statement of Understanding on Page 40
of the Council Agenda adding the word "Temporary" with the thought that upon
completion of the SBA loan, there will probably be other items to add. Seconded
by Councilman Liebl. Upon a voice vote, all votinq aye, Mayor Kirkham declared
the motion carried unanimously.
ADAI2DING OF BIDS - LIQUOR STORES: (Bids Opened February 26, 1971)
(NOTE: Bids listed in Minutes of March 1, 1971)
Mayor Kirkham said that he was not prepared to award the bid for Shorewood and
asked what the Council would like to do with the liquor store on East River
Road. Councilman Liebl asked if they Piled a bond. The City Attorney said yes,
they filed a surety bond at the time of the bidding. They have yet to work out
the completion bond the City ought to require. He said that he talked to them
about this. They assured him that if sold, they would complete the store
according to the plans and specifications. As long as the City is not in the
position to award both bids, he advised waiting until both bids could be awarded
together.
' Mr. Rallis said that he did not see why they should be held up. They have the
bonds, contractors, and money all ready to go. He questioned why they
should be tied together. The City Attarney said that there is a logical reason.
The law states that when one private on-sale license is issued and that private

person starts operation, the City is required to get out of the on-sale business. �
If there is a delay in the sale of Shorewood and the City has already sold the
East River Road store, the City would have to close Shorewood. It is in the
City's best interest to award them both at the same time. Mayor Kirkham said
that hopefully, the Council should be able to take action at the next meeting.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to table consideration of awarding bids for the
liquor stores to April 12, 1971. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
DISCUSSION REGARDING ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY FROM ST. WILLIAM'S CHURCH FOR T.H. #47
SERVICE ROAD DETACHMENT AT 61ST AVENUE INTERSECTION: (At Request of Mr. Savelkoul)
Mr. Donald Savelkoul said that he was appearing as the attorney for St. William's
Church. He assured the Council it was the desire of the parish to work this
matter out amicably with the City of Fridley. There are some points of difference,
but hopefully, they can be worked out. He said that he had talked to the City
AttorneY, because of these differences, he wanted to get the matter on the Agenda
to work out a procedure. His suggestion was that the Council would appoint 2 or
3 members of the Council to work with a similar committee from the church. It is
the interest of the Council to get the road problems worked out and the church is
willing to cooperate if possible. His purpose in appearing is to suggest that some
procedure could be worked out at a committee level, then referred back to the Council
after the committee has resolved the difficulties.
Counci]snan Harris agreed that this was probably the best way to prpceed. He '
said that he did not want this delayed, as it should be done this construction
season. He questioned what would happen if they reach an impasse, would they then
have to go through another season without improvement? Mr. Savelkoul said that if
an impasse is reached and the amount of compensation is the bone of contention,
then the church would probably accept the appraisal of three appiaisors, and it
would be made binding.
Councilman xarris suggested it might be best if the City start condemnation
proceedings, then at least they would be on the docket. The negotiations could
proceed in the meantime. The people recognize this as a very serious situation.
He said that he was not adverse to negotiating, but they should get the legal
paper work started in case the negotiations are not fruitful. Mr. Savelkoul said
that this would be the Council's prerogative, and he understood the Council's
concern about the traffic problem. He said that if the committee could agree,
it would be more expeditious than litigation. He said instead of condemnation,
the City Attorney and himself could draft an agreement which would in effect say
that if the two bodies did not agree in the amount of compensation, they would go
by the rules of arbitration and appoint an arbitrator. Hopefully, it would not
get that far. xe thought in regard to attorney's fees, arbitratxon would be more
economical than condemnation. The City Attorney asked if the church would give
the City right of entry for construction. Mr_ Savelkoul indicated they would.
The City Engineer said that the City has been negotiating since 1965. In 1967 the
Council authorized condemnation, then the church requested the City to delay '
condemnation so they could negotiate. On January, 1968, the Council rescinded the
condemnation order. There were three intersections that were to be improved at
the same time. In May, 1969 the Council appointed a cormnittee to negotiate with
�'�,�
.� � _
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5� 1971 PAGE 8
' the church. The committee consisted of Councilman Sheridan, Homer Ankrum, City
Manager, and himself. A£ter the meeting, a letter was written by Father Keefe and
the agreement was confirmed by the Council. He said they had talked to Father
Keefe and the architect and the plans were given to him. If it is understood that
the agreement is no longer valid, it puts the City of Fridley in a difficult
position, as the proceedings have gone thus far on that basis. The people have
been requesting this improvement because of the bad situation at this inter-
section. In 1967 the Council authorized condemnation and the City did acquire
two parcels of land south of this intersection. There have been negotiations with
the 5he11 Gas Station to acquire property from them rather than the church. There
was estimated $23,250 to be paid the gas station, but if the aqreement does not
hold with the church, and if the City will have to compensate the church, it might
be more feasible to condemn all the property from the church. This would be
cheaper. The plans for the intersection are all ready. If the improvement is to
be completed this year, the contract will have to be let in the near future.
There is some urgency if the Council wants this work done this year.
Mr. Carl Paulson pointed out that the longer the Crty waits, the higher the land
values go. It will not be any cheaper next year.
Mr. Savelkoul said that some of the things brought out by the City Engineer are
things that could be worked out by the committee. He said that there was never
any agreement in terms of a contract. No deeds have ever been given. He said
that to talk as the City Engineer does about some agreement is not logical. He
� said that he would not like this to start out on the premise that some agreement
has been reached.
Councilman Liebl said that in 1969 when talking abaut condemnation, or an agree-
ment with the church, Mayor Kirkham appointed Councilman Sheridan to talk to the
church, and subsequent to the meeting, Father Keefe stated he was for the propos�d
plan as�submitted and put forth four stipulations. At that time the City was to
request reimbursement from the State, who would in turn reimhurse the church. They
asked Eor not less than 30fi per square faot. He said that he understood that this
was all agreed upon by the church.
Mr. Savelkoul said that there may have been some mzsunderstanding, but as far
as the people now representing the church are concerned, notha.ng ever happened
then. There was no communication back to the church from the administrata.on in
the form of an agreement, deeds, exchange of muney, or anything of that sort.
There was never any contract that he knew of. He added that he was informed that
somebody went to the City Engineer and was told that about '� of the roadway is
going to be assessed back to the church.
Councilman Harris said that the City had agreed with the church in principle, if
not by contract. He said that the City Engineer has raised a good point, in taking
a portion of land from the Shell 5tation, it is necessary to remove some under-
ground facilities. What the Engineer is saying is, if the City has to acquire
the land through condemnation proceedings, it would be better to move the road
further to the east so the City would not have to acquire the land with the
� facilities under ground, which would cost more. There would be no sense in buying
the Shell property with the underground facilities when by ad7usting the road, it
would not be necessary. Mr. Savelkoul said that if more lancl is taken from the
church, there would be more appraised value. Councilman Harris said that he
understood this. After a comparzson of these two figures, the City would know
which way to go.
r-,�; }

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5, 1971 PAGE 9
Mayor Kirkham asked that an agreement be drawn and brought back in two weeks. �
Mr. Savelkoul said that in the meantime, if the Council would appoint a committee,
the church would be happy to meet with them. It was agreed by the Council that
Mayor Kirkham and Councilman Harris would serve on the committee to meet with
St. William's Church.
RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 17, 1971:
The City Engineer said that the first item concerning the 1970 ilniform Buildzng
Code is still being considered by �tYte Planning Commission and required no action
by the Council at this time.
CONSTDERATION OF CITY ZONING ORDINANCE TO REQUIRE A DOUBLE GARAGE FOR A
SINGLE FAMILY DWELL�ING AND A FOUR STALL GARAGE FOR A TWO FAMILY DWELLING:
The City Engineex said that after a lengthly discussion, the Planning Commission
recommended that the Czty does not adopt this requirement. They recommend leaving
the requisements as they axe now.
Mayor Kirkham said that oriqinally he was in favor of this Oxdinance, but he was
glad it was given to the Planning Commission as they brought up many valid points.
He said that at this point he was neither ready to concur, or qive up the idea
enta.rely, he would like to give it more thought.
Councilman Breider asked what the requirements were for placing the building on '
the lot. The City Engineer said that there is a minimum req,uirement in regaxd to
setbacks. It is a matter of policy to set the building on the lot in such a way
that there is room for a double garage. Councilman Breider said that Counci]man
Harris brought this matter up in the interest of cutting out the necessity of
variances given. There are houses set in such a way that a double garage could
not be built. He said that he did not see why the City could not require the
building to be set in such a way that there could be a double garage added.
Councilman Harris said that as Councilman Breider indicated, the intent can be
satisfied without actual construction of a two car garage. He said that since
this came to his attention, he has received a number of c�11s, some in favor and
some against. Many that called in favor of the Ordinance indicated that the
placement o£ their house on the lot made it impossible for triem to put in a two
car garage. The developer or planner of the house could be .required to show a
double garage, then if the home owner had his house built without a double yarage,
but at a later date wanted the double garage, he could do so w.�thout a variance.
The City Engineer said that this was a good suggestion and pointed out that before
1969 the City did not requixe any garage. Now as a matter of policy they have been
requiring people with a normal size lot to provide either a double gaxage or
space for one_ If the Council desires, an Ordinance could be drawn up, but it is
policy now. Councilman I-Iarris said that he appreciated this policy being fol�iowed,
but he felt that the Ordinance should be amended to avoid possibLe future problems.
MOTION by i.ouncilman Harris to instruct the Administration to draw up the proposed
amendment to the code and bring it back before the Council. The motion was �
seconded and upon a voice vote, Harris, Breider, Relshaw and Kirkham voting aye,
Liebl voting nay, wrth the comment that he concurred with the recommendation of
the Planning Commission, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried.

THE EXISTING UNITY HOSPITAL LOCATED AT 550 OSBORNE ROAD, FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.
(REQUEST BY UNITY HOSPITAL, SSD OSBORNE ROA➢, FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA)
The City Engineer said that this was the second stage of the addition to Unity
Hospital. He then presented the plans at the Council table. He said that the
Building Board recommended approval subject to their landscaping as per the letter
from Mr. John Haines. He said that he had met with Mr. Haines in regard to the
landscaping, da.rt blowing, traffic problems and the drainage last week. The
request is to keep the traffic toward Osborne Road. He said that the existing
sanitary sewer is not designed to the capacity of this complex. It was mentioned
wrth the previous permit that it might be necessary to put in a new line to the
Metropolitan Sewer line. There is a potential of sewer problems because of not
enough capacity. Councilman Harris asked if a line could be put in to cross
Osborne Road and enter the Metro Sewer line. The City Engineer said yes, there
is an outlet available. Councilman Harris felt that before a crisis is run into,
they should consider putting in the new system. The City Engineer said that
the line is at 77th Avenue and does not run right along Osborne Road. This is where
the hookup would have to be. They have requested them to put in a separate man-
hole. The sewage goes to 76th and also into the Lyric Lane line. He said in the
original planning if it were known that this was to be a hospital complex, the
lines would not have been designed this way.
Councilman Breider asked if rt was a possibility that the sewage may back up into
Lyric Lane. The City Engine�r said yes, it was a possibility. The solution would
be to go into the Metro lines. Future additions would give an ultimate total o£
750 beds at the hospital. Councilman Harris asked if there was another outlet
provided, would the outlet to Lyric Lane be closed off� The City Engineer said, not
necessarily. Councilman Harris said that there ought to be a permanent solution
ready and on fa.le. The City Engineer said that they have the permanent solution.
He suggested letting the system wark if it will, then if there are problems the
line could be put in. It would be at the hospital's expense. Councilman Breider
asked why not put it in now. The City Engineer said that if it is the Council's W111,
5 l d � F ''t
.0 � 'J
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5, 1971 PAGE 11
it can be done now. Councilman Harris commented with the improvement, the internal '
lines would not be t�ed anymore. The Crty Engineer said that the studies have
been made and he did tell them they would have to provide an alternate type of
system because the City system a.s not adequate.
Councilman Harxis pointed out that Onity Aospital is not 7ust fox Fridley, but for
the whole northern area. He said that he did not see where there would be any
problems in running into the line in Spring Lake Park. Mayor Kirkham asked if this
addition added more to the Lyric Lane line and the City Engineer said no.
Originally the whole hospital went to Lyric Lane, but the whole building is adding
facilities and will increase the load on the Lyric 11ne. Councilman Breider asked
how the line would be monitored to see if it is approaching the maximum capacity.
The City Engineer said that they keep watching and take appropriate action when
a problem exists. Councilman Kelshaw indicated that he felt that the line should
be put in now.
MOTION by Councilman Liebl to approve the building permit for the second stage
of Unity Hospital addrtion subject to the stipulations of the Building Standards -
Design Control, and with the understanding that the Engineering Department is to
prepaze all the details for a sanitary sewer disposal system to remove the burden
from the City's internal system, the improvement to be a step type arrangement
when the City deems necessary. Seconded by Councilman Breider.
Councilman Breider asked what was going to be done about the blowing da.rt problem.
The City Engineer said that he had discussed this with Mr. Haines. Councilman '
Harris said that he noticed that the dirt runs into the storm sewer. The City
Engineer said that Mr. Haines had said that he would get on it right away and
understands the problems. Councilman Breider said�that when the frost goes out of
the ground, the people across from Lyric Lane will not be able to find their
yards. He said that he would like a definite plan and something in writa.ng.
MOTION AMENDED by Councilman Breider that the permit be glven sub�ect to the
stipulations mentioned in the original motion, plus a written dust abatement plan.
The amendment was seconded and upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham
declared the amendment carried.
THE VOTE upon the motion, being a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham

with the stipulation that they wanted additional brick, which the petitioner
agreed to. He then showed the Counca.l an elevation of the building, and added
that they have agreed to put in shrubbery. It would be about SOo brick and the
rest stucco. Councilman Liebl said that there is an attractive apartment building
in the area now.

5. CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT PHASE III OF GEORGETOWN APARTMENTS
LOCATED AT 5640, 5680, 5720, AND 5740 EAST RIVER ROAD, FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA.
32):
The City Engineer said that this request is to construct Phase III of the
' Georgetown Apartment complex. The Building Board recommended approval of the
plans. Originally he showed curbing all around and a divider strip on the
plans. Mr. Filister was present and did not want to show any curbing in the center
of the parking lot and removed it. The City �ngineer's recommendation is, if he
is going to remove the divider strip from the parking lot, he should provide
islands of trees or shrubbery to break up the large expanse of parking area.
With this addition of units the existing roadway will need upgrading and will need
curbing. The Council has already ordered these improvements and Mr. Filister
should understand that there will be assessments coming. He expressed some concern
that this complex would have a potential of high maintenance because of the
different colors on the fronts. There is some problem in regard to utilities, but
he concurs with the recommendation of the City that there would have to be a lift
station and loops.
Councilman Harris asked why he took out the center divider. The City Engineer said
that it shows on the original plans, but he changed them. He said that he did not
need the additional parking. He felt that there should be some landscaping to
break up the large expanse of parking. There would be curbing around the trees or
shrubs. Councilman Harris said that he agreed that something should be put in.
Councilman Liebl questioned the wisdom of putting in islands as it would cause
problems with snow plowing in the winter, and it would harder to maintain. The
City Engineer said that there would still be fairly large open spaces. Councilman
Liebl asked where the snow would go. The City Engineer said against the building
, in the space beyond the sidewalk. Councilman Liebl pointed out that on the original
proposal by Holiday Village North, they had islands, then came in later to request
permission to take them out. The City Enga.neer said that after that, they
changed their minds. Councilman Liebl felt that they would still be hard to
maintain. The City Engineer pointed out that there would have to be walkways
anyhow through the parking lot.

CONSIDERATION OF WITHHOLDING FROM SALE ALL TAX FORFEIT PR�PERTY IN THE CITY OF
FRIDLEY:
The Acting City Manager explained that a problem has come up in regard to the sale
of tax forfeit lots. There is an individual buyer that feels that he is under no
obligation to pay the special assessments and intends to fight the City on these
assessments. This individual 7ust bought two lots last week.
Councilman Harris asked if these sales are on a bid Uasis. The Acting City
Manager said that they are bought for the appraised price which does not include
the special assessments. Councilman Harris asked if they could not be included in
the price. The Acting City Manager said that this could be done through re-
evaluata.Qn. Mayor Kirkham said that the present policy was adopted to encourage
the sale of the lots. The City Attorney added that this is so that the buyer does
not have to come up with so much cash at one time. The County Attorney notified
the munica.palities of what was going on. The Legislature should be a5ked to ,
revise the law. If that cannot be done then the suggestion made by Councilman
Harris is the only feasible answer. This would act to discourage the sale of the
lots, but on the other hand it would not leave the City with assessments not paid.
Councilman Harris said that the Legislature may not get to this for a couple of
years and it would behoove the cities involved to work out some procedure where
� ji �-� r�.
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5� 1971 PAGE 14
' there would be a purchase agreement in writing where they would agree to pay for
the assessments. In this way they would know what the assessments would be before
they buy the land.
Mayor Kirkham said that he thought that everything should be frozen at this point.
The City Attorney said that the present law states that assessments are cancelled
when the property is sold. Mr. Mike O'Bannon, County Commissioner, asked if
assessments are put on property sold, could the assessments be prorated over a
five - ten year period? In this way the buyer would not feel that the property
was too high priced. The City Attorney said that he did not know if that could
be done as the law states now that the assessments are cancelled with the sale
of the property. It might be possible to recertify the assessments as part of
the bid, it would then be included in the price of the property through the
appraisal. Then they would have to come up with that amount of cash. Mayor
Kirkham said that the sale of the lots must be stopped now until it can be
determa.ned what can be done. The City Attorney said that all the municipalities
actions should be uniform.
MOTION by Councilman Harris to concur with the recommendation of the Acting City
Manager and request the Administration with the City Attorney to prepare the
necessary action on the sale of the tax forfeit lots and bring rt back for the
next regular meeting. Seconded by Coun�ilman Kelshaw. Upon a voice vote, all
voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried unanimously.
, RESOLUTION #37-1971 - A RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND FINAL PLANS AND
SPECIFICATIONS AND ESTIMATES OF COSTS THEREOF: REPAIR� REJUVENATION AND IMPROVE-
MENT OF LOCKE LAKE DAM:
The City Engineer said that the Council held a hearing on the improvement of Locke
Lake Dam and the hearing was cLosed. The Council indicated that before they took
action they wanted the Locke Lake Association to get together and discuss the
improvement. There is a letter from the Locke Lake Association suggesting that
the City proceed with the plan as presented at the public hearing. He said Abe
Nichols, President of the Association, was present for comments. There was some
concern expressed by the property owners living on the east side of the lake in
regard to sedimentation at that end.
Councilman Liebl said that he was a guest at the meeting chaared by Abe Nichols.
He asked what the Engineer thought of the idea presented by Bill Balkom. The
City Engineer said that this is the second proposal presented to the Council; this
is the $50,000 proposal. Councilman Liebl said that the people felt that they
wanted something done about the dam. They felt that the City should assess
everyone they could legally assess. Some of the people expressed concern about
the storm sewer running into the lake and filling the botton. They felt that
this was bad for the lake itself. The felt that the City should be more consistant
with trying to keep the lake from bea.ng polluted. If money is spent, there should
be some kind of ineasured guarantee that the lake will be kept at the standards
now, and not a mud hole. The lake fills up where the storm sewer runs into the
lake. He asked what could be done about that. The City Engineer said that the
' only answer to that would be to not have a lake. The problems here are much
more vast. There are 21 communities draining into the creek. When talking about
the storm sewer draining into the lake, it is very minimal compared to what it is
getting from up north. This .unprovement as presented would not unprove the quality
of the lake, he said that he wanted to make that per£ectly clear. He said that he
had indicated that to the Locke Lake Association members. It will merely give a
�' � � �'' `�. )
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5, 1971 PAGE 15
control to the level of the lake and reduce the probability of losing the dam. '
As far as the sedimentation problem is concerned, this wi11 occur as long as they
have a lake. This a.s a very small lake, only about 30 acres, as compared to the
total drainage district. If there is a feeling there should be some program to
maintain the depth of the lake, on Page 91 axid 92 there a.s a letter giving
indications of the momentous �ob it would be to keep the sedimentation problem
under control.
Councilman Harris said that this creek is the natural conveyance for the water,
and pointed out what a tremendous cost it would be to pipe the storm water all
the way to the river. He said that he questioned the third paragraph of the
letter from the Association concerning who could be assessed. The Association
wanted everyone for several blocks assessed. He felt tha't this might be dis-
criminatory and the City would be in a bad position to try to sustain the
assessments several blocks away. They would have a hard time showing how these
people would benefit. Mr. Nichols said that they started off thinking in terms
of an assessment like for a storm sewer district, then it was felt that this would
not be possible so they took a larger area and thought of a.t as a privileged
area. They thought that the people that do use the lake, even though they do not
live on it should be assessed. Councilman Harris said that this would be a
discriminatory point. Mr. Nichols said that in that case they would concede
that point.
The City Attorney said that there was a specific benefit and a general benefit.
In the specific case, the lake increases the value of the property on the lake '
and the general benefit is that of value to everyone in the City. If you think
in terms of general benefit, he thought that the assessment would then have to be
City wide. Councilman Harris said that everyone in the City would share in the
repair of the dam, and the improvement would be assessed to the property owner
ad7acent to the lake. Councilman Harris questioned whether this point was a
stipulation in qoing ahead with the pro7ect. Mr. Nichols said no, they still
wanted the pro�ect.
The City Engineer said that he wanted to make a.t perfectly clear that the
improvement of the dam will not impxove the quality of the lake. As the drainage
area gets more and more developed, the sediment problem will be increased.
A member of the audience said that under the trestle is where there is a real
sedunent problem. The water used to be at ahout 9' and now it is about 6".
That area is owned by the City of Fridley. He wondered if something could not be
done such as dredging, and the area used as access to the lake. The City
Engineer said that it could possibly be done, but it is a question of what they
are willing to spend. This would be very expensive.
Councilman Harris said that this lake is at the end of a laxge funnel and this is
one of the reasons the City went on record to form the watershed district. It
was to set up a plan £ox Rice Creek and plan to correct the deficiencies within
the district. Mr. 0'Sannon said that this was before the Water Resources Board
and all the counties have approved it.
The member of the audience asked if it would not be possible for the City to do ,
a minimum amount of work in dredging under the trestle. This could then be used
as access to the lake by snowmobilers that now have to go over other people's
property Mayor Kirkham asked the Administration to look into this problem and
�'iL���;"
�� : r�
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 5,1971 PAGE 16
' see if there could be a minimum amount of work done and report back to the
Council. The City Engineer said that he wanted to make certain they understood
that they are spending this money to improve the dam and may end up with a mud
hole eventually. Mr. Nichols said that they understand this. He said that they
expect that as the watershed district is formed, it will be improved. The City
Engineer said that they will need the cooperation of the people for construotion
easements etc. N1r. Nichols said that indications were that the people will be
cooperative.

March 12, 1971. Seconded by Councilman Breider.
Councilman Liebl asked if they would be building according to our specifications
and the City Engineer said yes. The City Attorney said that there should be
some concern in putting in the roads before it is certaa,n they are going ahead
with the construction. What if the roads are put in then it is found they do not
have the financial means to go ahead with the constructa.on? He did not feel the
City should proceed until we receive something in writing from their financial
backers. The City Engineer said that the facilities would not be ordered in

should have a letter of commitment from the financial institution.

CONSIDERATION OF ACQUISITION OE LOTS 29 AND 30, BLOCK 12� HYDE PARK ADDITION:
(UNIVERSITY AVENUE SLIP-OFF):
The City Engineer said that when he made his engineering report, he used the
figures from the Assessors office. There have been some sales in this area for ,
$1.45 per square foot. This property is not zoned for commercial. He said that
he wanted the Council's direction whether to proceed at the price quoted or
whether they felt that it would be better to condemn. They are asking about
$15,000 and at $1.45, it would be �bout $5,000 difference. Councilman Harris
suggested making an offer of $12,000.

CONSIDERATION OP YDISTl1LLIIQG "G�iELCOME TO FRIDLLX" SIGNS ON I o #694:
Councilman Harris said that he had talked to Mr. Naegele in regard to installing
t�To additional ""vdelcome to Fridley" signs. They agree the reaction to the other
two signs has been very good. He said chat Mr. Hockmeyer called him today and a
nun�ber of other communities are looking znto this type of thing on t17e same
basis.
The City Lngineer sain on Paye 119 are three proposed locations for the west end
of Lhe City on I. #694. The IIighway Department will not allow tlie sign on_their
right of way. In proYosal #2 the sign would obstruct the view of the G�tickes
Furniture Warehouse. #3 would be �ust easc of Plywood Minnesota and is the most
feasible location, except that a.t is not too close to the Crty limits. He said
that he tallczd ta Rudy Boschwitz of Plywood Min.nesota and he is sure he can get
their permission to usc- their land.
The Council, after a short discussion, agreed on the third proposal for the sign
at the west end of the City limits on I. #694.
The CiL-y Engineer said that for the sign on the east end of the Crty, Vi�wcon has
agreed to let the City use one sid� and they would advertise their complex on
the other. IIe suggested thac Viewcon could rent the sign from Naeyele and in that
way if Viewcon changed hands the CiL-y wou13 still kiave tYie s�gn. The Council
agreed that this would be the best ;aay to handle it; the sign has to be a City
responsibility. CounctL�an I3arris commented that the two signs represent a
$5,4D0 giit to the City.

INDUSTRIAL PROPERTISS AND CON5IDERATION OF REROIITING FOR TRUCKS TIIROUGH FkIDLEY;
The City Engineer reported that there is going to be a very large amount of fill
that will be trucked through the City. If the industrial properties were to have
to pay for it, it would cost over a million dollars. This will make a great deal
of truck traffic on T.H. #65, T.H. #47, and EasL- River Road and he wanted the
Council to be prepared to receive complaints. There will be noise and the extre
traffic, but the benefits must be weighed against the problems. It is going to
be quite a burden to coordinate all this work. On Page 121 and 122 of the Council
Agenda is a sample of the agreement that would be signed by someone getting the
material.
Councilman Breider asked if, in the northern areas, the trucks could keep to
i7niversity Avenue. The City Engineer said that they would use a circular movement.
To put the rock along the river, they will have to use residential streets.
