MR. STAN DAVIS, 1511 FERNDALE• Mr. Davis said he had sent an application for the 1ot split to the City Hall four weeks ago and nothing had been done to date. He sald there is some urgency as he was moving the coming Friday and the lot must be divided before this time to satisfy 7tain City Federal. He said he would pay for the curb and gutter. He said this should have been done before he had purchased the home, and was not done. He said he was not aware that it was needed at that time. Mayor Lieb1 asked the City Attorney if under certain circumstances the lot�_zspl°it�__ could be granted in one evening by the Council7 Would this be legal� The City Attorney said the Council has the right to grant a lot split. MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to grant the Lot split requested by Mr. Stan Davis, 1511 Perndale, the 82 foot by 150 foot portion in the front. Seconded by Councilman Utter for discussion purposes. The City Engineer pointed out the area on the map on the overhead pro�ector, Mr. Davis said his Lot was Lot 1, Auditors Subdivision 92. � The City Engineer said the split would create a land locked lot on the north end of the property, this is why it had not been approved by the City before. He said they did not want to create any land locked 1ots. The City Attorney said the City Engineer may be right, but he could see no difficulties that do not exist at the present time. The City Attorney said some language should be included on the north half and he suggested D1r. Daais come in and work something out with the administration.

Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Liebl 3eclared the motion carried unanimously CONTINUED PUBLIC HEARING ON ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE AU'I'HORIZING THE CITY TO ISSUE MOTION by Councilman Utter to waive the reading of the PubLic Hearing Notice. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt, Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor LisLI declared the motion carried unanimously* and the Public Hearing opened at 8 25 p.m. Mayor Liebl asked if there was anyone present who had any questions on the propased ordinance7 H� asked the Citg Attorney if he had any recommendations or if there was anything that may not be legal or should the Council adopt the ordinance at this time? The City Attorney said the ordinance is we11 drafted from a provedural standpoint. He said he believed the City would be better off with the ordinance adopted then with no procedure at all. Councilman Utter said he agreed whole heartedly with the City Attorney. � Councilman Breider said this would operate like the Suburban Rate Authority. Councilman Starwalt said the ordinance dealt with the both rate and usage. Councilman Nee asked if there was anyone present representing Northern StatEs Power Company? Mr. John Ranck of NSP indentified himself. He added, Northern States Power has been trying for years to get a state wide franchise and some people do not want this. He said in view of not being ahle to set up a state wide authority, the Metro Authority would be the best as over 50% of the power used in Minnesota is used by the 125 communities that wi11 bQ involved in setti^.g the uniform fraachise. He said originally there were 30 communities involved in setting the uniform franchise. He said NSP felt it would be easier to deal with one body than 125 separate bodies for negotiations. CotnncLlman Nee questioned the representative asking, does the Company shut off the powzr for non payment� Mr. Rank said there is a long list of procedures that are followed before Chis is done. He added this is done as a last resort, Diiyor Liebl asked if there was anyone in the audience with a question, He said the ordinance will take two readings and publication. He said the Council had to determine if this would be in the best public interest and best for the people of the community Mayor Liebl said he had ta�ked to Mayor Bruce Nawrocki of Columbia Heights who had studied � the proposed ordinans:e and he felt it was as fair as could be achieved. He added, people from St. Paul had studied it and also an attorney in Richfield. He said he _ thought the seven countles involved should be treated equally.. He said there should be an over all structure and this would be done under the proposed system. He said this would also make NSP sound so they can provide the necessary services to the communitr.es. He said perhaps the rates can be reevaluated for the benefiL of the consumer and this ordinance could make this happen ��� REGULAR COUNCIL MEETIPTG OF MAY 21, 1973 PAGE 5 Councilman Nee said he favored collective bargaining in this respect, however,- , there are two ma�or parts he had qualms�aith. He said he thought the rate structure was discrim�natory. He said he did not see why some have to pay more than others. The City Attorney said it may be a good idea to have some expert or have Mr. Nawrocki present at the second reading. Mr. Dan Fish, 7501 Lakeside Road, asked if the City of Fridley of the Metro Council would set the rates. Mayor Liebl said this is an independent agreement. He said it would be ratified by many communities or 60% of the Metro area. Mr. Fish asked once the or�inance is adopted, who would arbiErate the rates? Councilman Utter said Councilman Starwalt is the Fridley representative from the Council, and there is an alternate. He said with the affa=rs of the Suburban Rate Authority there is one represeatative from each community and they meet quarterly and have all financial reports. He said the authority is given to an attorney and he does the negotiating with the Company, He said the Attorney is hired by the Communiti�s to represent them. He said the Company pays the money tor this service. He said the Suburban Rate Authority received $30,000 for the operations of the Commission and this amount had to be cut down to $12,D00 as they had to refuse money because they had an excess. Mr Ranck said the Compaay was allowing the commission $50,000 for negotiations. Councilman Utter said the Commission would not be costing the communities a cent. � He said they wi11 benefit if anything. A resident asked why a home owner could not receive the rate that a business could. Mr. Ran�k said the average home owner does not use the amount of electricity as the small commercial business. He said the business pays a demand rate and this is not involved in residential billing. He said each person is supposed to pay his own way. Mr. Andrew Kohlan asked how soon this could be in affect after the adoption of the ordinance? Councilman Utter said one year. Mayor Lieb1 said this would have to be ratified by so many communities to establish a rate authority. Mr. Kohlan asked if the rates in the ordinance at the present time w�ere the existing rates? He said it should be considered as the energy crisis is reache3 that those using more should pay a higher rate. Pir. Ranck said Northern States Power is studying this point. Councilman Utter voiced concern that some people may miscontrue what is done with the money. He said the organization would have a president, a secretary and a treasurer. He said if there is a meeting, a11 the representatives pay their own way. The only money that is spent by the authority is used to hire an attorney to represent the authority. He is the only one to receive a salary, CounciLman Utter said. He said the authority is not iafluenced by the money at all. He said , it is never touched by any person, MOTION by Councilman greider to close the Public Hearing on the Electric Franchise. Seconded by Councilman iTtter. Upon a vaTce vote, all voting aye; Mapor�Zfebl declared the motion carried and the Public Hearing closed at 9:15 p.m. 111 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 1973 PAGE 6 ' CONTINiTED PUBLIC HEARNG ON �JNIC�2PAL COMPREHENSIVC DEVELOPMENT PLAN (CONTINUED FROM PUBI�IC HEARING MEETING, MAY 14, 1973): Mayor Liebl said the item had been continued because there was not anyone at the meeting to comment on the p1an. Mr. Bud Hamilton, 181 Aice Creek Terrace, said he would like to talk about study area number four. Mr. Hamilton said he had an alternative plan for the portion of land covered in this study area. He referred to the first p�ragraph on Page 60 of the plan that read, "It would not be desirable to extend industrial facilities further into the residential areas along the raiLroad south of Rice Creek, This area should retain its residential character to fit into the surrounding residential neighborhood. Medium density housing would serve as a transition for the existing railroad and industry and would preserve public use of Rice Creek." Mr. Hamilton said ad�acent to the area is Jay Park and this would be more desirable as residential land than along the tracks. He said if this were possible a larger park in the area from Designware to Rice Creek may be feasible. He said the dedicated roadway where lt crosses the entrance to Rice Creek into Locke Lake would form a natural link between this park and P1aza Park, north of Rice Creek. Mr, Hamilton mentioned this is a most beautiful area in Fridley and is best viewed from the dedicated roadway. He added, the Creek is used extensively by canoeists and many of them use this area to bring the�r canoes ashore. ' Councilman Breider questioned the feasi6ility of the plan. The City Attorney said the land could be condemmed if it was to be used for public purposes or attempt to buy it. Mayor Liebl asked if it would be possible to relocate a park. He asked if this could be done with the cooperation of the Park Commission and the people of the area. He added, there is a very sma11 amount of park in the area now. He said he thought there may be area for basketball and softball. Mayor Liebl said he believed Councilman Breider is the Ward Councilman. He said he did not think the people of the area would like to have a park relocated. He said the present park is used exteasively. Mayor Liebl said he had many comments about thts �rea. He said he is not ready to close the hearing at the present time. He said he would like to go over each area of the City. Councilman Breider said he would like to table the Public Hearing on the Comprehensive Plan until the Council can spend some time on it. MOTION by Councilman Breider to table the Public Hearing till the Public Hearing Meeting in June� (June 11, 1973). Seconded by Councilman Utter. IIpon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. DISCUSSION ON UTILIZATION OF CHASE'S ISLAND BY THE FOiTNDATION FOR ISLANDS OF PEACE: � Mr. Andrew Kohlan, Attorney for the Foundation for Islands of Peace addressed the Council saying the Foundation had received the consent of the property owners for an extension of closing on the property ad�acent to the Island He said in order to keep proceeding along with the plan, the Foundation has had the Navy Seabees there to do ;3ome work. He said the Foundation �+as currently asking permission from the City to ubtain a 30 day Lease for Chase's Island which would determine the Liability for anything on the Island. He said he was not asking for any long term lease at the present time. 1l2 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 1973 PAGE 7 Mr, Wilmes said the Navy Seabees had surveyed the-�property and staked out the trails ' for the handicapped. He said the paths would be eight feet wide. He added, only eight trees would have to be cut down in the area for the construction of the trails. Mr. Wilmes said the reason for the eight foot width of the trails was because the equipment to construct the traiLs would be this wide. He said the trails would be at a 5% grade. Mayor Liebl asked Councilman Nee if he had any questions. Councilman Nee said he thought this had worked out very well. Mayor Liebl asked the City Attorney if he had any recommendations. The City Attorney said there should be a constractual arrangement between the Foundation and the City. He said he had no quarrel with Mr. Kohlan's proposal. He said the Island could be leased on a month by month basis. He said the amount of money would have to be determined. He added, the termination of the lease could be done by either of the parties involved. He said the proposal would not put the City in any �eopardy. He said it could be that after the Foundation had spent a certain amount of money, a future Council could terminate the lease. He said thare would have to be some trust. The City Attorney said the Council should determine if the proposal for the area is suitable and if the physical plan is acceptable. He said a lease between the two bodies could be drawn. Mr. Ko�lan said he did not think Zt would be feasible ta entex_iato a long terta lease � at this timp. He said they �'p�rated on faith in the past, he was �ust conceraed that someone may say the Foundation is operating without_authority if there would be no Lease at a11. He said the Foundation would like the approval of the Council. Councilman Utter asked if it would be be�ter to draw up a three month lease. Mr. Kohlan said if the lease would be for 90 days, a11 the better. The City Attorney said the Lease would run until one party or another would want to terminate the Lease. He said it could be terminated with 30 or 60 days notice, ete. Mayor Liebl asked if the proposal had been presented to the Park Board. Mr. Wilmes.saLd it had. Mayor Liebl asked if the facility would service the public at large as well as the handicapp�d.The City Attorney said the lease should state the area is open to the general public of Fridley.

He said there had been a num6er of proposals for some type of development of the property, and it is very difficult. Mr. Copeland said it cannot be assumed the property can be developed under the present zoning as there are no reasonable alternatives. Councilman Nee said he thought it would be feasible to develop the area resZdential on East River Road. He said he d7.d not believe it would be harder to se11 these properties on East River Road than it would be to se11 those Mr. Templin had constructed ad�acent to the Railroad tracks.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 1973 PAGE 16 � 121 � CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF REVISED PLAN FOR REIDEL PROPERTY AEQUEST BY WALL CORPORATION� The City Engineer said he had talked to the people from the Wall Corporation at 5:30 that evening and they had presented a plan to him for the construction of all townhouses in the development of the Reidel Property. He said there is a problem of the density. He said the units within the R-1 zoning must be owner occupied according to the City Code. He said he had some reservations about the proposed access to the area under the new plan. He said the agreement made with the neighboring property owners must also be considered in the review of the plan. Councilman Breider asked if there was a plan they could review at the present time. Mayor Liebl asked if someone from the Wall Corporation would make a presentation on the proposed plan. Mr. Rudolph Dante, stated he was a representatiae from the Wa11 Corporation, and addressed the Council. He said in the orlginal plan 108 units were multi family units and 63 were townhouses. He said they had reevaluated their plans He said the new plans were drapping from the multi family and adding all townhouses He said there would have been 171 townhouses in the first plan Mr. Dante said the ponding area would also be changed. He said they had originally planned for the installation of one pond and now they planned on putting in three ponds with a flowing creek connecting them. � Mr. Dante said the new plan reduced the total number of units to 155. He said the portion of the Land that may be considered for the library had been Left out of the p1an. Mr, Dante said the Wall Corporation has an agreement to staff and maintain the property of the total community development. Councilman Breider asked if there was a recreation building in the plan. Mr. Dante said yes, 800 square feet in size. The City Engineer said the recreational building is much smaller than was originally provided for in the first plans on the complex. He added, the original plans called for 2,000 square feet and an additional 1,000 square feet of swimming poo1. Mayor Liebl said the units must be owner occupied and asked if the zoniag was proper. The City Engineer said the zoning is not proper. He said the staff is concerned about protecting the neighbors. He said there are now 20 more on 7th Street than what they had told the people there would be. He said there are problems with the drainage and problems with the access. He added, before they planned a good recreation facility, and now it is not good. He said there is a review required by the Planning Commission for the construction-of townhouses, unless the Council would like to by- pass this reqt�irement. He said he did not feel the commitment made to the neighbor- hood could be met with the present proposal. Mayor Lieb1 said he thought this was a good plan because it is residential. He said he did not understand. � The City Attorney said it is not a question of what the City would rather have. He said there is a zoning requirement. He said the development may be Ueautiful and not fit the code. He said the developer would have to go through the procedures as stipulated in the Code. � `� � REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 1973 PAGE 17 The City Manager said if the plan was modified, the Wall-Corporation would not have � to go to a Public Hearing again. He said this is the reason he had met with them at 5•30 that evening. The City Engineer said he hoped they could agree on something that could be lived with without going to a public hearing. Councilman Nee asked if the Wall Corporation felt the recreational huilding was mainly for the tenants of the apartment buildings� The City Engineer said no, they were in the townhouse area. He said they were trying to have additional facilities provided and this was one concept they had been trying to maintain. Mr. Dante said the pool would not be used as the owners of townhouses are ,generally settled people with l�.ttle interest in swimming pools. He said it is younger people who en�oy this type of activity. He said there is a party room available, sauna and the ponds and creeks. He said this is a pleasant atmosphere and wi11 provide for ice skating in the winter months. He said he felt this would be extremely attractive and the cost considerably exceeded the cost of installation of the single ponding area. The City Engineer said the density is higher than that in the Larson Complex. He said this is the highest density in the City. Mr. Reese architect for the Wall Corporation and also the Larson townhouses addressed the Council. He said he would like to compare the living area of the Larson complex with his area. He said this would be ad7acent to open area. He added, the gara� s � would be intregrated into the home. He said in the Larson complex on Rice Creek there are gang garages. He said the pond would be recirculating on the Wall Corporation plan with check valves to shut off the flow in the winter to create skating areas He said there are four parking spaces for each family. Mayor Liebl questioned the members of the Council asking if they thought the proposed plan was better than the other with three apartment buildings. Councilman Utter said some of the groupings of buildings have six units and have indiaidual garages. Mr. Dante said there was one with 24 units, Councilman Utter asked how many units were in the group on Mississippi Street. Mr. Dante said there were 17 units in that group. Councilman Utter asked if there would be bermsY Mr. Reese said the area would be terraced down from the higher level to the lower level. The City Attorney asked if there would be a reque§t for a variance or rezoning, Councilman Breider asked how high the density could be granted by the use of a variance. The City Attorney said the ordinance limits the density to five per acre and they are asking for eleven per acre He said the Council could take their chances that this could be coasidered a reasonable variance. He said he did not know if this would hold up. The City Attorney said this would have to be put to the Board of Appeals. The Crty Engineer said there would have to be a Public Hearing and all the people � would have to be brought in again, l L r� REGULAR COi1NCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 1973 PAGE 18 � Councilman Nee asked the representative from the Wa11 Corporation why the plans were being changed� Mr. Dante said they wanted to get rid of the multiple dwellings in the area. He said he felt this would be a better development for the City to go into all townhouses. He said if the old plan would be followed they would have first built the townhouses and then the apartments later. He said this would greatly extend the time for development of the complex. He said there would be some unhappy people when the apartments were constructed. He said in all honesty to the buyer there should not be mutiple dwellings in the area. He said they would not want an apartment renting f-or $157 along side their townhouse Councilman Nee asked if it would be possible to improve the recreation area. Mr. Dante said with the townhouse sales planned to be from $32,000 to $35,000 the additional expense for the recreational building would price the homes out of the market. Mayor Liebl stressed the view that the plan for a11 townhouses was a better plan than the original p1an. Councilman Starwalt said he liked the second plan and he thought this was a step in the right direction. Councilman Starwalt said he would be interested in finding out the reaction of the people of the area to the p1an, he thought it may be better than before. MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the concept, and that the plan be worked � out by the Administration and representatives of the Wa11 Corporation to reach satisfactory agreement on the access on Mississippi and 7th and also to change the plan for the recreational huilding if possible. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Councilman Utter said the recreational building was much too sma11 and about the size of a warming house. Mr. Dante asked if he would appear before �.he Board oi Appeals on the 29th. Councilman IItter said yes. The City Attorney said the notice of the hearing should be sent out quickly as there is only one week before the meeting of the Board of Appeals.

Councilman Utter said he did not think this was the case. Mayor Liebl said it was his opinion that the ma�ority of the people in the area favored the improvements. Mr. Rudolph Bayer said he would not favor waiting on the improvement installation as the price would increase and they would not be able to get a cent more for the land with the additional expenditure for the improvements. Mr. Bayer said those people that had attended the meeting had waited all evening to express their opinion, and if the decision was to be made without consideration of their attendance or opinion, he may �ust as well have stayed home a1so.
