PUBLIC HEARING ON VACATION REQUEST� SAV #71-02, SUSTER ENTERPRISES, INC. STREET AND ALLEY IN OIJAWAY ADDITION: The Crty Engineer explained that this request is for the vacation of an a11ey in Block 3 and Hickory Street between 79th Avenue and 78th Avenue. He showed the area on the overhead pro�ector and said that this property is all owned by one party, and they want to develop it into one large parcel. The Planning Commission held their hearing and recommended approval sub7ect to there being a cul de sac on the west end of 78th Avenue. Mayos Kirkham asked i£ there was anyone in the audience wishing to comment, with no response.

Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the hearing closed at 7:57 P.M. The Ca.ty Engineer commented that he would have the Ordinance ready for first readinq at the next Counca.l Meetinq, PUBLIC HEARING"ON WATER� SANITARY SEWER AND STORM SEWER - PROSECT #102: � The City Engineer e�cplained that this is the pro�ect mainly in the north end of the City. He has had several meetings with the involved property owners regarding the plans. He suggested taking the pro7ect section by section, and explaining each section. Ae said he had met with Mr. Ray Wormsbeckex and Mr. Charles Settle and has received a petition from �rnest Cook for the improve- ment. There was only one person, Mr. Fred S. Yesnes, that was not anxious for the improvement. 1 � �� SPECIAL COUNCIL ME�TING OF JUNE 14, 1971 Water Main: PAGE 2 The City Engineer showed the plans on the overhead pro�ector and said they would be putting the improvements in the main streets. It would connect along Main Street to 7ust short of the l,tnes on 85th Avenue, 83rd Avenue and Slst Avenue etc. Properties would be served with maans and the lateral extensions would be left for later when the property develops. This includes the parcel of Iand Viking Chevrolet has. Mostly, it would be a 10" main. This main system proposed can all be put in at this time, or staged depending on the reaction of the property owners. Their reaction seems to be that they want it in. There is some fill material available from Burlington Northern they hope to use for building the facilities and to open up the roads to prepare this land for future development. Mr. Wyman Smith said that the people he represented are anxious to get the unprovements in Parcels 7200 and 1800. Councilman Liebl asked if they are in agreement with the plans in regard to the layout of the fire hydrants. Mr. Wyman Smith said that he has made an appointment to meet with the City Engineer at 2=00 P.M. tomorrow. They wa.11 go into these details then. They have been coordinating the work with the Engineering Department. Councilman Liebl asked if a 10" main would be adequate, anticipating the future growth. The City Engineer said yes, this is the reason they plan on using the 10" line. It is meant for industrial and commercial areas. All the lines are looped and there are two sources of supply. Mr. Wormsbecker said that he represented Mr. Barbush who is interested in Parcels 3000 and 3600. He said the water mains as proposed looked favorable. The City Assessor said that £or the water main, the Pront Poot assessment comes to $14.44 per foot. The City Engineer said that he wanted to point out that the reason for the higher than average cost is because of the difficult soil conditions. They wanted to have the figures high enough, and it is hoped that after the bids are let, the prices may be lower. Sanitary Sewer• The City Engineer said that the red areas shown on the overhead pro�ector are the areas proposed to be improved at this time. There were also green lines which represented future extensions as the property develops. These are to be considered area laterals rather than local laterals. The location of the lines follow the lot lines, to keep the costs to a minunum. There has been discussion with the property owners on hooking onto the Metro Sewer line at the railroad tracks. There will be no extension through the park property. There has been a request from a property owner to put the line in 83rd Avenue. This portion of the pro7ect does not create any engineering problems. The only question is whether it is expected that the park property is to be assessed. These are all large laterals to sezve large areas. Mr. Wyman Smith asked if the assessment would be charged on both sides and the City Engineer sazd yes, by front footage, except the park property. There would be both a front foot charge and an area charge. The City Assessor said that the front foot charqe would be for the area in.terceptor on both sides. On 83rd Avenue it is charged on only one side because of the closeness to the street. We have to wait and see what kind of development will go in there. The estimated cost of the sewer lateral is $18.00 and the estimated cost of the sewer area interceptor is 81C per 100 square feet. These costs could change, but if one is higher, the other would be lower. Mr. Smith said that the � � � LZ k? � ;Jn SPECIAL CDUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 1971 PAGE 3 � owners of Parcels 7200 and 1800 favor the installation and request the Council to proceed. Mr. Cook also favors the installation of the water and sewer. Stoztn Sewer: The City Engineer said that this proposal is to provide proper drainage to the parcels. The dotted lines on the pro7ector represent the existing ditches and the solid lines are the proposed pipes. The pipes are to be located at the lower elevations of the parcels, and will drain all the ma�or parcels. The individual property owners w111 have to provide their own extensions to hook on. The whole system does not have to be put in right away if the Council would want to delay, but the total plan is presented which would be needed if the property is to be developed properly. There are some open ditches that could be left, if the Council wished. That would be an interim solution. He commented that he was not saying that the whole system should be put in at this time. Counca.lman Breider asked where the pipe would run ofE Parcel 1400. The City Engineer said that it would go to a culvert under the railroad tracks. This �.s Spring Bxook Creek which goes Lnto Riverview Heights. Councilman Bxeider asked wha� about the beaver dam. The City Engineer said that as he indicated earlier, if the City wants to drain the parcels properly for future develop- ment, rt will be difficult to maintain the beaver dam. It is true the ecology will be damaged. Councilman Breider asked if he had looked into open � drainage. The City Engineer said yes, the property to the north when drained could probably have some ponding. They are not anticipating any expansion o£ £acilities on the west side o£ the tracks. In the north end, there is County Ditch #17, and drains part of Coon Rapids and Blaine. Fridley has an agreement with Blaine, and if Fridley improves this area they would have to participate. Councilman Breider said that depending on how the area develops, open drainage can be made quite attractive in industrial sections. The City Engineer said yes, he was not advocating a complete closed system at this time. He added that there is also a problem of a high water table. Mr. 5mith said that this was one of the items he wanted to talk to the City Engineer about the next day. The plan for this SO acres is for a road through the center. The plan is to have about 1� acre parcels. There were some test holes made which can be made available to the City on the water table and the peat depth. They were quite pleased with the reports. The peat at the worst was only 3' to 4' deep. They plan to make use of the railroad dztch. The peat will be scraped off and dirt hauled in. By doing some drainage work initially, it will make it easier for the contractors to do their work. He said he agreed they did need the drainage system. The design seems to 'fit the topogxaphy. The City Engineer said that the work could be staged with a combination of open ditches and closed system used. This would depend on how the land develops. Any development should be made aware of the potential costs to them. They will try to keep the costs at a ma.nimum and do the work as reasonably as possible. � Councilman Liebl asked if the City Engineer was proposing that eventually lt will all be underground. The City Engineer said no, but if the property owners want it developed that way, that is the way it will be done. If they want to leave some areas open and landscaped this can be done, some develop- ments could live with ditches. He said he foresaw something in between a complete system and open ditches. It will probably be part open and part closed. A +.d f7 SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JUNE 14� 1971 PAGE 4 Councilman Liebl asked if the City Engineer whether the run-off would not � raise the level o£ Spring Brook and possibly cause trouble in the resi- dential areas in Riverview Heights. He questioned how much the water level would increase. The City Engineer said that this creek is part of a large watershed district that drains Blaine and Coon Rapids. The area proposed to be drained into the pipe is a small area. At present this area does drain into this creek. The culvert will not be increased in size under the rail- road tracks, or to the west. Sf Blaine develops further there will be more run-off. There will be some money to do some bank work, which will be more psychological than actual necessity. There will be no substantial increase in run-off. The Acting City Manager asked about participation by Blaine and Coon Rapids. The Crty Engineer said the improvements in the area west of the tracks and to the northeast, when they are done, they would have to parti- cipate. Mr. Wormsbecker said that they were in favor of the construction of the storm sewer. Mr. Richard Harris asked if, parallel to the railroad tracks, that would not have to be a drtch. The City Engineer said probably, but it would depend on how the property owner wants it developed. There might be some problems with depth. Nir. Harris asked how deep it would have to go. The City Engineer said in 78th the culvert would have to be increased to provide adequate drainage. The existing culvert was out of date 20 yeaxs ago. Mr. Harris said that it would seem to him that if the culvert was not large enough the water would back up and there are certain buildings there al- ready constructed that map have problems. The City Engineer said that the court case hearing is in June. That improvement is going to be made too. ,� There is no question that the culvert has to be increased. Mr. Eldon Schmedeke (Planning Commission) saYd that he questioned the peat depth. He thought it would be over 3 feet. He said that he had a hunch there would be a lot of rezonzngs, especially along University Avenue. The Planning Commission has asked to look into this. They have made a study o£ this area. The Crty Engineer said that the Planning Commission reviewed all the development in regard to roads and access. They approved the plan then it went to Council and was approved. The plan is now being followed and this is to provide the utilities for these parcels. mhe utilities will be adequate to serve erther industrial or commercial enterprises. The basic ase of the land would be the same. Mr. Schmedeke said that the Planning Commission took home booklets last Wednesday night and have not had a meeting since then. Mr, Richard Harris asked where the drainage district was and the City Engineer pointed it out on the screen. He asked if there was any proposal for west of Main Street and the City Engineer said no, not under thxs pro�ect. Utilities in A1 Rose Addition: The City Assessor reported that he had received a call that day asking if the price for the north area would be put in with the cost of the Al Rose Addition. He sazd he assured the caller that the prices would be kept separate when it is bid. The City Engineer added that there would be a big difference in price because of the soil conditions. The wst would be lower in the A1 Rose � Addition. He showed the area on the map and said that the draznage is all basically taken care o£ for this area. SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 1971 PAGE 5 � The City Assessor said that he had talked to Mr. Mattson before the meeting. He was interested in Lots 3, 4, 5, 6, 7� & 8, Block 1, and Lots 1, 2, 3, & 4, Block 2. He was shown the estimated figures and was satis.fied. He did not own the property but was interested in buying and would be assuming the assessments. He unclerstood that this did not include the road. He said that if he did not make a.t back for the meeting, to tell the Council he was in favor of it. � � Councilman Liebl said that the total es'�imated cost was $21,228.00. The estimated cost of the water service is $313 and for the sewer servace $278.93. The estimated cost of the water lateral is $5.24 per foot and for the sewer lateral $6.69 per foot. The City Engineer emphasized that this is only an estimated cost. The exact cost will be known next year. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to close the Public Heaxing on Sewes, Water and Storm Sewer Pro7ect #102. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the mot�.on carried. CONSIDSRATION OF REQUEST FOR APPROVAL OF I.AND ALTERATION PERMIT BY FMC CORPDRATION: The City Engineer said that he advised FMC to get approval from the Corps of Engineers because it a.nvolves the river and the Corps has control of the rivers. They have been successful in getting their approval. They have to provide additional pxotection on the banks to prevent exosion. They axe going to be using rock alonq the banks of the river. Originally they anticipated they would be using one million cubic yards of material from Burlington Northern, now, they think it will be about 3/4 million cubic yards. He showed their proposal on the screen and said he suggested to them that they stay above the 1965 water level. He added that there is considerable amount of work to be done. He suggested the Council could approve the permit sub7ect to their submitting a bond to assure that the property will look nice and neat w17en they are done. They are to seed or sod when they are done filling. Mayor Kirkham asked if they meet the Corps requirements in regard to erosion. The City Engineer said yes, his department has copies of the Corps approval. He added that his department is suggesting that they should seed or sod and provide top soil. Councilman Breider asked what was the present level. The City Engineer said from 810 to 803. Councilman Breider asked if they filled tha.s area, would there be any af£ect on property to the north. The City Engineer said no, here we are talking about a very small change in the cross section. There would be no difference in �he dike area. In the flood are the elevation is 823, here it is 816, or about a 7' drop. Mayor Kirkham asked how much developable land there will be when they get done. The City Engineer said about 300 - 33o more. The City Attorney asked how it was zoned. The City Enga.neer replied residential. Councilman Kelshaw asked how much material the City has asked for from Burlington Northern and the City Engineer replied about 2� million cubic yards. He then showed on the map where the material would be used in the City. Councilman Liebl asked Wheeler Smith, who was in the audience, if they intended to develop the land. Mr. Smith replied that he is at�orney for FMC• They are aware this land should be developed, but they do not have any plans as yet. � �� " i w� I `' (i SPECIAL COUNCIL MEETING OF JUNE 14, 1971 PAGE 6 At the high water stage in 1965 at 817 elevation, 65� of this land was under water. Their proposal is to bring it up to about 830 top level, to make the land usable. Councilman Breider asked again if this would not affect Riverview Heights adversely. The City Engineer said that this minor change would not affect it. Councilman Breider said that here the talk is about 40 acres, and it seems that would diminish the river channel. The City Eng�.neer said that it is four miles down stream and ahout seven feet lower. The affect of back water is IRlnimal, and there will be no substantial difference. The reason there will be increased problems in Riverview Heights is because of the development to the noxth and faster run-ofP. If there were to be any effect in Riverview Heights it would �ust be psychological. The people would feel that this a.s one of the reasons for their trouble. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to grant the Land Alteration Permit for FMC as laid out and agreed upon by the Engineering staff. 5econded by Councilman Kelshaw. Upon a voice vote, all ayes, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. The City Engineer asked if there were any buildings in the area. Mr. Wheeler Smith replied that all the buildings are on higher ground. RESOLUTION #65-1971 - A RESOLUTION APPROVING AGREEMENT WITIi THE STATE OF MINNESOTA IN REGARD TO FRONTAGE ROAD DETACHMENTS ON T.H. #47 BETWEEN 57TH AV�NUE AND 61ST AVENUE: The City Engineer said this agreement was in regard to state participation in the detachment oP T.H_ #47 £rontage roads at 61st and 57th. There is con- siderable amount of state participation, they have agreed to the amount of $135,953.94, after a long lengthy negotiation with them. Councilman Liebl asked the City Attorney zf the City now has all the land needed, and the City Attorney said that there is a verbal aqreement with St. WYlliams Church. The City Enga.neer said that they had everything including right of entxy, except for Shell Oil. It seems there was a change in their administration, and Fridley is having difficulty in getting them to go along with a reasonable conclusion. He added that the City is opening bids .7uly 6th. He hoped in the next few weeks to have the problems ironed out with Shell Oil. He said they had received the deed from St. William's Church, so the Shell parcel is the only problem to date. Councilman Liebl asked what was the agreement on the west side of T.H. #47 north of 61st at Star Lane with the apartment house owner. The City Engineez said there was no right of way needed from him. Councilman Liebl asked if this would be curb and guttex and blacktop to full wzdth and the City Engineer replied yes, He added that he called 5he11 Oil last week and he understood the gentleman is on vacation this week. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to approve the agreement and adopt Resolution #65-I971. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a ooice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Kirkham declared the motion carried. CONSIDERATION OF LETTER TO RESIDENTS OF RIVERVIEW HEIGHTS: (In Flood Plain Outside of Dike) Councilrnan Breider said last spxing people from Riverview Heights outside of the dike area called a number oE local and state officials seeking assistance � � � � 4 t'•" �� � � SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JUNE 14, 1971 PAGE 7 to their flooding problem in the spring. The Council has discussed the possibility of replacing their homes with mobile homes, but that solution was not received warmly by the people. The main ob7ection seemed to stem from the problem of getting a.nto a mobile home park if they should have to, or want to move. The other ob�ection was people with families did not want a trailer house. He said he has talked to the Council and these people and come to the conclusion before anythinq can be done on this matter, the people have to participate and any program cannot be forced. These people have to want help. They must realize the possibility they may have to take a slight financial loss on their property. No one could give them what their house is worth, were it not in a flood plain. The Human Relations Committee has discussed this and contacted these people. It is hoped their discussion wa.11 give the Council some indication whether or not this pro7ect is worth while. The second quandary was how do you establish a going rate of value. He said he asked the Acting City Manager last week to write up this letter for the purpose of finding out 7ust what these people are asking for, by telling the City how much they want for their property. If their price is totally out of the picture, there would be no point in pursuing it further. There must be unanimous approval by the Council to get this pro- �ect off the ground. He added this is a City proj�lem, not �ust a ward problem. Councilman Kelshaw asked why he felt this was a City problem. Councilman Breider said that in talking with the City Engineer it seems that as there is more industrial development the drainage is passed off into this area into the Mississippi lhver. The area to the north also drains into this area, so the potential of flooding increases. Councilman Kelshaw said that if it is acknowledged that it is a City problem, it must also be said to be "cities" and also "state". Perhaps the County would have a hand in this also. He said that he did not feel he had enough concrete information fxom the people. He suggested the Councilman meet with the people in the area or maybe setting up some sort of a questionnaire. Councilman Breider said that he had met with the people a number of times. He said he has asked verbally how much they would be willing to sell their property for, but the point of this letter is to get it a.n writing. Councalman Kelshaw questioned whether if this letter would go out over the Acting City Manager's signature, would that not be putting the City on the line? The City Attorney said that the City could make inquiries. It would not be binding, but it may convey the impression the City is doing more than it intends. The City Attorney said that accompanying the letter could be a questionnaire asking for dates when the buildings were built, footage, when the property was purchased etc. The City Assessor said that they may not have all that information in their files. The last sale was made in 1967. Their records only go back to 1960. The City Attorney felt that the letter could be a little more lengthy and give the Council position more clearly. It should state that the Council is �ust gathering information, and nothing is binding. It is just an attempt to see if there is anything that can be done. � Councilman Breider said that when you have a plan, you have to have a dollar figure. This is the question now, It would be useless to condemn their property. He was not suggesting condemnation. This has to be negotiated if anything is to be accomplished. The City of course would not do anything if the dollar figure was way out of line. He felt the suggestion by the ��� SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEESING OF JANE 14, 1971 PAGE 8 City Attorney was good, and added that it was not his intent to convey � to the people of Riverview Heights that the City is going to buy the property. Mayor Kirkham said that that was the main reason he had second thoughts about the letter. The inquiry is Councilman Breider's rather than the Councils'. The City Attorney asked if that letter would be going only to residents not protected by the dike. Councilman areider said yes, also he hoped to send rt to those owning vacant property. Ae added there were 10 homes involved. The City Attorney said that the first priority would have to be those with homes there. If they cannot secure a building permit the value must be quite low. He added he would be happy to work with Councilman Breider on the composition of this letter. Councilman Breider said he would get together with the City Attorney and bring it back next Monday night when Councilman Harris is present. Councilman Kelshaw suggested that the people should have to sign the questionnaire. If they name a price, it should be down in black and white with their signatures. That way they could not renege. Then the City would have something to work with. CONSIDERATION OF OPEN DITCH PROPOSED ALONG CENTRAL AVENUE ON MOORE LAKE BEACH AND PARK: The Acting City Manager said that as pointed out in the memorandum, the Parks Director originally had no ob�ections to the open ditch, but since then has changed his m�.nd and would like wst estimates for piping the water. Councilman Liebl questioned how long Moore Lake Beach could be maintained '� in a proper and healthy condition. The City Engineer said that as far as the beach is concerned, there is a two- fold problem. The first is the constant filling of the lake. Water from the drainage districts brings in dirt and silt which settles. There is also the bog along the shores of the lake. There has been some money spent in reclaiming the lake. The second problem is the pollutants and health problem. He felt that with proper dzainage systems and the elimination of too much fertilizer used on the lawns, with control exercised, the lake can be maintained for some time. Councilman Liebl said that if the lake could be maintained for another 10 years, there should not be a ditch as a ditch is unsightly and hard to maintain. He would feel it would be �ustifiable to put in the pipe. If the City should have to close the lake for health reasons, the pipe would not be �ustified. There has already been a lot of money spent on this beach and he felt that if it could be kept for another 10 years, fine. Councilman Kelshaw asked why a drtch was needed. The City Engineer said it was to br.tng the surface water from Gardena. Thxs would act as an over.flow. There is a pipe that carries the water most of the time. The swale would work in heavy rain conditions. The question before the Council is whether the cost of about $7,000 for a closed pipe is �ustifiable. He said his depart- ment recommended the swale and have prepared plans. Now the Parks Director � has had second thoughts on it, so it might be advisable to discuss this further. The ditch would have a slope of 4 to 1 with a width of 25 feet and the depth would be about 4 feet. This would make a very gentle slope. Council- man Kelshaw said that the Parks Director mentioned a dangerous situation. � � � � Cs , ,.� � r SPECIAL PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JUNE 14� 1971 PAGE 9 Where is the danger? The City Engineer said that he was concerned with the children running around. Councilman Kelshaw pointed out that there were slopes and curves in Commons Park that were not considered dangerous. He added that with that slope, it could be mowed and maintained with no difficulty. Councilman Breider commented that when discussing Locke Lake the figures were astronomical as far as dredging was concerned. As long as the Administration is looking into the cost of the ditch, they should also probably make up a potential cost analysis to compare the costs with that of a municipal pool. The City Engineer said that Locke Lake is much smaller than Moore Lake and the amount of drainage is substantially less for Moore Lake than in the Rice Creek Watershed District. The Da.strict takes in over 29 communities. The City Attorney said, speaking as a resident, that the development of recreational facilities such as swings, tennis courts, etc. along with the parking lot make Moore Lake something that the City would want to keep if only for aesthetics. Councilman Breider asked how much has been spent in dredging. The City Engineer said that he thought about $4500. Mayor Kirkham said that the swimming area has not been dredged and for 10 years it has not changed. Councilman Breider asked how long before it would have to be dredged again. The Crty Engineer said that would depend on what they wanted to live with. Councilman Breider asked how the water is monitored. The City Engineer said the Health Inspector make regular inspections. Mayor Kirkham said that the quality has actually improved. There was a time when the lake got drainage from septic tanks, but with the i�roved utilities, this has been corrected. The Health Inspector has found more salt, probably due to the Highway Department using salt on T.H. #65. This is not a danger to the health. The coliform count is within the limits set by the state. The City Engineer said that there is certainly a need Por constant surveillance of the lake. The facility can be kept for a number of years. The increase in storm sewer systems and urging the Highway Department to use less salt should help to maintain the facility. Mr. Richard Harris suggested the feasibility of using holding ponds. They would hold the water at storm times and it could be controlled when it is let out. Tha.s would also allow the silt to settle. They can be made to be attractive. Mayor Kirkham commented that they may be good but nobody wants them near where they live. MOTION by Councilman Liebl to return this item back to the Administration and ask them to bring back an estimate o£ the cost. Seconded by Councilman Kelshaw.
