Mayor Liebl led the Council and the audience in saying the Pledge of Allegiance to the
Flag.
ROLL CALL: '
MEMBERS PRESENT:
MEMBERS ABSENT:
ADOPTION OF AGENDA:
Mayor Liebl, Councilman Utter, Councilman Nee, Councilman
Breider, and Councilman Starwalt.
None.
Mayor Liebl said he had talked to some people who had expressed the desire to be heard
during the Visitor's section of the agenda, and he wou]d like to add this to the agenda for
this meeting.
MOTION by 'Councilman Starwalt to adopt the agenda as amended by adding a Visitor's
Section. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor
Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. _
MRS. LERRY HART: FRIDLEY AQUATIC SWIM CLlJB:
Mrs. Hart addressed the Council and indicated she was representinq the Fridley and
Spring Lake Park Aquatic Swim Club which was in need of from $200 to $250 for an
upcoming planned_swim meet. She added, they hoped they could raise another $1,000
from the businesses in the area, but had been unable to do so and had contracted all
of the businesses. She questioned if it would be possible for the City to aid in the
financial support an the meet either through the Council or another Department such
as the Fire Department.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to allow the Council to pay for the ribbons and referees
for the upcoming Fridley Aquatic Swim Club meet, not.to exceed $200. Seconded by
Couniclman Utter. Upon a voice vote, al.l voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion
carried unanimously.
Mayor Liebl then gave a personal donation of $20 to Mrs. Hart for the swim meet
and Councilman Starwalt presented her with $i0.
MR. OTTO G. TAUER, 5866 N. E. 2iVD STREET:
Mayor Liebl called Mr. Tauer forward and said he had discussed the matter with him .
in a phone conversation in which Mr. Tauer had indicated he had not attended the
meeting when the matter had been considered because he had to take off work to do so.
Mayor Liebl reviewed the circumstances of the matter saying Mr. Tauer had requested
the City construct an eight foot fence between his property and the park which would
have been paid for solely by the City. He said the Council action on the matter was
to authot^ize the construction oF a four foot fence by the City and if any additional
height was desired by Mr. Tauer, he would pay the additional cost for this added
fencing.
Mayor Liebl pointed out that Mr. Tauer had discussed the matter previousiy with
his ward Councilman, Mr. �Vee. .
N1r. Tauer addressed the Council and said his portion of the payment would involve
a payment of $120 and continued to r.estate the situation of the four and eight
foot fence proposais. Mr. Tauer presented the Council with a box of exhibits of
the type of items the young people of the area had been throwing into his drive-
way from the park area. He explained the damage caused on several instances. He
continued stating there are parks in other areas which do have the higher fencing
to allow for protection of private property and also for the protection of the
area children. ,
Councilman Nee expressed the view that this amount for the protection of an adjoining
property owner should be included in the budget for the atquisition of ttie land for parks. �,

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF JAPJUARY 14, 1974

Councilman Nee said he had done all he could for Mr. Tauer's request, but had
counted the votes, and this was all thati could be done. He said he did not know
tfie difference in price at the time, but thought now that this may be about $225.
-�
Mayor Liebl said he would not want a toddlers park to look like a prison. He
would like a slide, a wheel and other small recreational facilities for the toddlers.
He added, usually the mothers accompany their children to the park, they should
supervise their children to make a go of the park area. He pointed out there is
no attendant in a park of this size. He said if it is done in this area, it would
have to be done in all other areas. k-
Mr. Tauer indicated this is not the case and he has been able to view the park
area from his window. Mayor Liebl said something should be done to prevent this
situation.from getting out of hand.
Mr. Tauer said he did work and was away some of the time, but was ab7e to review
the area a great deal the past summer. He said on one instance he got involved with
the young people when they broke down a tree and the police had to be ealled. He
thought this was not the type of policing the park should need.
Mayor Liebl said that Mr. Tauer wpuld be able to sign a claim rather than discipline
the children. Mr. Tauer said he had not hit the children, and he did not like
getting involved with the people and their children in this manner. He said he had
no objection to the park, but he did not think he should suffer damages because
the park was not being used properly.
Mr. Tauer said he believed the acquisition of the fancing should be included in the
price of the property as Councilman Nee had suggested. He thought this would be
a necessary part of a park. He said he requested the Council to look into the
matter a second time and possibly visit the area.
Councilman Utter asked why there is a basketball backboard in the Toddler Park.
He thought this should be removed and said no four or five year olds are
shooting baskets.
Mayor Liebl asked if the eight foot fence would solve Mr. Tauer's problems.
Mr. Tauer said if the fence installed does not have holes small enough to stop the
children from throwing things through, he would put up a fine wire fencing also.
Cauncilman Starwalt asked Mr. Tauer about his reluctance to spend $200 for the
remainder of the fence from the four foot level.
Mr. Tauer replied, he did not think he should pay for the fence because it is not his
fence. Councilman Nee explained, Mr. Tauer feels he is being assaulted by the City.
MOTION by Councilman Nee to authorize.the construction of.an eight foot fence with •
the fencing to be eight feet in the area where it would.run adjaceni to the Tauer
building, and with the City assuming the entire cost of the fence. Mayor Liebl
declared the MOTION DEAD FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
MOTION by Counciman Utter to direct the Administration to review the matter again,
and compare the situation with �11 of the other tioddler parks in the City. Seconded
by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the
motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Liebl said the item would be placed on the agenda again for further
consideration.
RECEIVING THE MINIlTES OF THE PLAfVNING COMMISSION MEETING OF JANUARY 9, 1974:
s, u:
The City Manager pointed out the area of consideration in the proposed used
car lot on the map on the overhead projector. He stated the Planning Commission
had reconanended the special use permit be approved with the stipulation that
this permit would have to be reconsidered or reviewed in the period of one year.
The City Manager said he would like to add and recommend some stipulations.

Mr. Davidson addressed the Council and stated their operation is the largest
in the Midwest with the Lyndale operation occupying 45,000 square feet of space.
He explained the concept to be new in the area. Mr. Davidson said they would
begin the oper�ion initially with the car lot and wouTd consider the construction
of show rooms and a service department in the future bepending on the needs of the
Fridley location. He firmly stated, they intended to stay a long time,
Mayor Liebl suggested there be a limitation in the length of time the facility
is alTowed to operate in the temporary structure before the permanent building
is constructed. Mr. Davidson replied, he would like the period of one year to
determine the the type of business because at the present time, he was unab7e
to determine the type of building they would like to construct.
Mayor Liebl questioned the�construction and installation of the utilities
and the agreement on this factor. Mr. Davidson assured the Council that the
Corporate Interests in the facility would dictate that this is done correctly.
Mr. Davidson said the current investment would be approximately $100,000 and may
reach a mi]]ion dollars in the future growth of the facility.
Counci7man Utter questidned the statement in the minutes asking if the
operation wou1d be based on a 15% commission on sales and Mr. Davidson agreed.
Councilman utter asked if the cars would be reconditioned before resale. Mr.
Davidson said they would be.
Councilman Utter said he had been in-contact with the area property owners
and they had indicated they would not be ooposed to the operation of a used
- car lot, but would oppose the construction or installation of a service area.
He further explained the people felt the service department and body shop would
create problems and be more undesirable.
Councilman Starwalt asked if there would be some fencing on the north side
of the property between the car lot and the trailer court. Mr. Davidson said
there is some existing fencing in that area at the present time. Councilman
Starwalt said he thought there was a need to fence the area on the north side.
Mr. Davidson said if the Council would feel this was necessary, it would
be instalied. He said it may be required for security reasons. Councilman
Starwalt said if the Council would feel better, this would be done.
Councilman Nee commented he was not opposed to the installation of the service '
facility as the City was in need of additional service operations. He sa9d
at the area service centers, there is alway a wait and a line up. e said he
did not think the installation of the service department would be d tremental
to the area if the work was not done outside.
Mayor liebl felt that th9s was a good fresh outlook on the used car market
and would provide a good used product. He said it would be the obT'igation of the
Council not to ailow the facility to hurt the property owners in tNe area.
Mayor Liebl said he agreed with Councilman Nee's statement, there i's a need for
service centers in Fridiey. He said there is only one large center, and
this was Viking Chevrolet. He said.he would like to see a quality permanent
structure similar to what had been exhibited in the newspaper clip�ing provided
by Mr. Davidson. •
Mr. Davidson explained for the last 45 to 50 years the used car bu$iness has
had a bad reputation and he would like this fresh concept on the m�rket to
provide a quality used car product. He added if the customer is a le to bring
the car back for service after he has purchased it, this would aidiin this area.
Ne referred to the new program in the State which would necessitat� the
installation of the service area being located on the site. '
Councilman Starwalt said he agreed with Mayor Liebl and Counci7manj Nee on the
need for additionaT service needed in Fridley. Ne asked Mr. Davidjson if the
Planning Commission was aware of the extent of the Company's plansl for the
operation on the proposed site. Mr. Davidson said the Planning Commission was
given a detailed explanation of the plans for the future. i

Mr. Davidson said many of the area service stations are closing and there
would be an additional need for service areas. Councilman Starwalt asked Mr.
Davidson where the service department would be located if this was installed.
Mr. Davidson pointed out it would be in the middle and east portion of the
property. Mr. Davidson explained the fencing on the north or adjacent to the
trailer court had not been mentioned previously through a simple oversight.
With the investment plans for $100,000, it is understandable to overlook the
construction of a privacy fience, he added. He referred to the Lyndale operation
and said this was in a highly residential operation and stated there had been ,
no complaints about the operation there.
The City Manager recommended approval of the special use permit for the period
of one year as recommended by the Planning Commission stipulating that all the
requirements for set back be met, that there be landscaping provided on the west
side, that the area be blacktopped with curbing provided, and that four light
poles be installed, that fencing be provided on the north side of the property
if it is warranted, a six foot fence be installed on the north side and also,
that the operation be reviewed before construction�of any structures.
Mayor Liebl said there should be some permanent building constructed after the
period of about six to eight months. He stressed he thought the City would be
going backwards if they allowed the applicant to operate out of a trailer,
The City Manager said this would be done for one year only.
Councilman Breider said it had been the policy of the City to tax the trailer�'`or
temporary structure as a permanent structure for the year it is on the site,
or as long as it is there.
Mr. Davidson said the Company is planning to build•a building in the area,
but at the present time, they did not know what type. He said the trailer
would be used for the first year, and this is why they requested approval
of allowing the operation of the trailer.
MOTION by Councilman utter to concur with the recommendations of the Planning
Commission and grant the Special Use Permit for the period of one year, that
the trailer be taxed 'as a permanent structure during its term of usage, that
the area be blacktopped with curbing and the four security lights as suggested
by the City Manager be instaTled, and that after the period of one year, if the
applicant would come to the City for a bui7ding permit, the adjacent property
owners would be notified about the request, and that there be landscaping on
the west side and the fencing on the north side. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt.
Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried
unanimously.
�ST FOR A LOT SPLIT, L. S. #74-01, BY AMERICAN AUTO LISTINGS: TO SPLIT
The City Manager said the Planning Cormnission had recommended approval of the
spiit which would follow the zoning lines.
MOTION by Counciman Breider to approve the lat split as requested by American
Auto Listings and as recommended by the Planning Commission, Seconded by
Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, ail voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared
the motion carMied unanimously.
MOTION by Councilman Utter to receive the minutes of the Planning Commission Meeting
of January 9, 1974. Seconded by Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote; all voting

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING Of JANUARY 14, 1974
RECEIVING REPORT REGARDING FUNDING POSSIBILITIES FROM
PIAGE 5
RICE CREEK WATER SHED
Mayor Liebl said a"s all of the members of the Counci7 and audience kne�, Rice
Creek and Locke Lake had received a great deal of concern because of ttie silting
and pollution of the waters. Mayor Liebl said the conditions have rapidly become
more severe in the last few years, but he had watched this process sin¢e 1961 and
no Council has taken any action to do anything about it. He said some action must
be taken because the conditions are becoming worse all of the time.
Mayor Liebl referred to the work done by the young people the previous summer and
said this work barely scratched the surface.
He continueG stating he thought the Counci] should instruct the City Administr�tion
to determine what financial support could be obtained from the Rice Crieek Watershed
District, from the Metro Council, and P. C. A, if any. He said he wou1d like to see
some steps taken to enable the City to cont�nue with the plans to create the Rice
Creek nature trail.
Mayor Liebl recailed the meeting of the Council that was attended by tihe Chairman
of the Rice Creek Watershed District and said at that time they were a�dvised t�ey
must make a request as a City Council for any aid or funding. He poir�ted out
if the other area communities are involved, there would be more input. Ne stressed
the importance of the other communities participating in the project because they
are pushing material into the Creek and Lake. Mayor Liebl recommended that the
Administration contact the P. C. A. and determine if this type of p.roject would be
within their jurisdiction, advocating there are other communities which are causing
the problems. He thought the various governmental agencies could cooperate for the
alleviation of the problems. He stated, only on a united basis couTd the enormous
problems be handled. He questioned what criteria must be met on the �ity level
to accomplish this aim. He suggested a study or analysis be done of the area to
determine where the problems exist and what can be done about this to get the
project started. He said he wouid also like a study on what could be done in the
future to prevent�Rice Creek and Locke Lake from accumulating materia�s. He said the
City has become a catch basin and something had to be done about it.
Counci7man Breider said a]] of the determining factors must be discusSed with
relation to the pollution and erosion and this would include the use pf the motorized
vehicles on the tressel in the Locke Lake area. He listed several conditions in
this area which wou]d tend to increase the seriousness of the problem� and said
the Council would have to make some firm decisians. He said there islalso the
question of bringing the lake back to its original form. He stated h� sympathized
with the people of the area, but did not think there was a lot the Ci'ty could do
to work their way out of the situation. He mentioned the steps takenl the previous
year and said this turned out to be °Breider`s Folly".
Mayor Liebl again stressed the importance of getting the other communjities involved
and stated because of the funnel in Fridley, the material is stopped;in this area.
He said he wouid like to know what is environmentally feasib7e and aliso what would
be feasib]e in the engineering sense. He stated the City had not appointed an
Environmental Quality Commission for front dressing, they should have some plans
to get something underway.. He said with the cooperation of the varidus groups,
the Council, the staff, a positive proposal for the remedy of the si�uation shou7d
be obtained.
Councilman Nee said he was not sure what Mayor Liebl's proposaT was.` He continued
stating he was under the impression that the Rice Creek Watershed DiStrict was in the
process of preparing an engineering study on this. type of probTem and the solutions.
He said he did not know what their interests are, but if they are hot functioning,
something should be done about it. He added, they have the power to'tax the Watershed
area including part of the City of Fridley and should to the job they were organized
to do. � '
Councilman Nee recalled the work on the Watershed District organizatpon began in 1963,
and shortly after this , there was discussion by the City Council abiout the storage
basin east of Old Central. He said the previous Council did take so�ne action and ,
during the term that Mr. Jack Kirkham was Mayor, there was a proposall which may
have been worked out with New Brighton. Councilman said this proposjal faced political
pressures and was defeated. Counci]man Nee said if something is no� being done ,
by the District at the present time, the City should encourage them',to do something.
He did not feel the City had the power to make the necessary adjustrr�ent up stream
and said he was referring to the construction of a holding basin in�the east portion ±

of the City. Councilman Nee added, this proposal may not be feasible hydraulically
or engineeringwise. He recalled at the time it was being discussed, it was not
politically possible.
Mayor Liebl repeated the direetion the Council had received from the members of the
Watershed District when they attended a meeting of the Council, stating the City
would have to make a request. He directed the Council'a attention to Councilman
Nee's Ward stating this is where the majority of the problems are and he hoped to
gain the support for the proposal from Councilman Nee.
Councilman Nee stated, if the Water Shed District is not doing something, let's
make them to domething and now.
Mayor Liebl asked the City Manager if he knew if there was any plans or actions
in progress at the present time for the alleviation of the problems of Rice Creek
and Locke Lake. He said if not, the City would have to take the first step because
they are not taking it.
I�10TION by Councilman Nee to direct the Administration to determine if such a request
for action has been made to the Rice Creek Watershed District for the alTeviation of
the problems on Rice Creek and Locke Lake, and if such a request has not been made,
that one be prepared and submitted to the Council for consideration at the next
meeting of the Council. Seconded by Councilman Utter for purposes of discussion,
Councilman Utter referred to a similar problem in the City of Minneapolis on
Shingle Creek. He said after much publicity in the newspaper a6out the filth and
debris in the.Creek, the area was cleaned up. He said a government official traveled
the creek after the clean up and remarked �n the wonderful job done. He stressed
the Metro Council and also the P. C. A, had a great deal to do with this project.
Councilman Utter said the Metro Sewer Commission should be contacted in addition
to the groups mentioned earlier. He pointed out that the Metro Sewer Board had
created a big problem for Locke Lake and Rice Creek. He said they should get out there
and do something. He recalled they had been requested to do something the previous
summer and had not done much.
Mr. Andrew Kohlan, 236• Rive Creek Blvd., addressed the Council and said he apprec-
iated the spirit of the members of the Council. He said he thought there may be
more to the issue once it is dug into. Mr. Kohlan said his home was built on the
north side of the Creek and there was four feet of running water in that area in the
back of his home; and the creek was once clean enough to swim in. He said last summer,
there was only about six inches of water at this same pornt in the creek. He said
it would not permit the passage of a canoe. He said there had been 3'2 feet of silt
into that part of the creek in ten years. He suggested the City of Fridley not wait
for some gigantic help from the various organizations. He suggested doing something
at the present time on the City level to alleviate the problems. He suggested
requiring money for the construction of additional structures on the creek at the
time a building permit is requested. He explained this could be done in the same
manner as money is required for the park system. He also suggested at the time of the
application for the building permits that an easement for main�enance of the creek
banks be required, He said many people would not allow the maintenance of the
area of their yards adjacent to the creek, they state it is private property.
Mr, Kohlan also stressed the importance of prevention of the erosion into the
creek water in the area. He mentioned the snowmobiles, motor bikes and other sources
force eraded material into the creek. He recalled a five foot area had been washed
into the creek by the sewer pipe. He also referred to a hill by the Woodcrest
Baptist Church which had been washed into the creek two or three times, and�an area
where the Highway Department had lost their fill into the creek. �
Mrs. Helen Johnson, 6817 Hickory Street N. �., addressed the Council and expressed
the thought that all the agencies �ossible should be employed to solve the problems.
Mr. Donovan Schultz, 15 Rice Creek Way, addressed the CounEil and said he did not
think the natural springs in the Lake could be restored and he is sure they are
not running at the present time, He questioned how much fill the springs could
take before becoming inactive, h1r. Schu�ltz continued stating most of the summer
it is impossible for a canoe to travel down the creek because there has been so
much filling in. He stated when the pUblicity was given the area for canoing,
this was during a high water point: He said Rice Creek has become a drainage ditch
and Locke Lake is now a cesspool.
UPON A VOICE UOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimou'sly.

MOTION by Councilman Nee to direct the Administration to set up a study se5sion
with the Board of the Rice Creek Watershed District. Seconded by Councilman
Starwalt.
A question was raised concerning the study session and whether it would inWOlve
all areas of the problems and their solutions.
Councilman Nee said he would like to find oat what they are doing and if they
, are not doing anything, he would like to know this also.
Mayor Liebl asked if they had done anything in the last ten years. Counci;lman
Nee said he did not know, and asked how long they have been in effect. Th'e City
Attorney said this had not been longer than five years and could be as li�tle as
two to three years. 7he City Manager said he would say it was more like �hree
years. Councilman Nee again stressed the importance of the meeting, statiing the City
of Fridley is in the dark and should know what is being.done.
Mayor Liebl said he thought there should be some detailed study done befor^e the
Board is met with. He said they would need to be scho�ied on the issue amd become
prepared, present a proposaT and justify the proposed program.
Counci]man Nee said he would withdraw the motion with the understanding that it
would be determined in some way what the action or proposed action of the'Rice
Creek Watershed District may be. Ne stated he would not ignore the fact �that they

Councilman Breider said he thought the City should find aut how far the Gounty
would want to go in ihe aid of this project.
Councilman Breider stated he thought the only way the problems in the Ci�Cy would
be stopped would be to.stop the traffic of the motorized vehicles, and whether
the Council would want to take action to this end must be decided prior to any
request for action from an outside source.
Mayor Liebl said this is why he had made tF�is proposa�. ,
Gouncilman Nee again said he just wanted to know if the District is doin� their job,
he asked if they could just be asked about what they are doing. He said�; if they

City would have the grounds for such a suit. ;
C o u n c i l m a n S t a r w a l t s a i d t he dates and involvement of the creation of thje probiems

He explained the City had to make pre-applications before submittinq this application.
He said this request would mean the City is eligible for funding. He said the
tetter of reply had instructed the City to prepare a formal report and application.
The City Manager explained the application would have to be submitted the next day,
and this is why he would ask that the Council take action at the present meeting.
He said this would be submitted to the State P1anning Department, Parks and Recreation
Division.
Mayor Liebl asked a question concerning the parce7 of land in the agreement which was
referred to as parcel #3. He asked if the City must purchase the land in order to
receive the funds from the state. The City Manager said this was true. He said the
City would become the property owner which would be similar to what is being done
on Chase.'s Island. Ne s�id there were two problems, the City would not purchase the land
before the grant is made and the State would only provide one half of the appraised
value and this would be $35,000,. The City Manager expressed the hope that the Islands
of Peace Foandation be successful in their fund drive to enable them to provide their
share of the necessary funding. The City manager recommended the counci] approve
the agreement and resolution to enable the work to be�done and the application submitted
the next day.
Mayor Liebl asked Mr.Andrew Hohlan, representing the Islands of Peace Foundation
if the fund drive had begun and if the Eoundation would be able to provide the necessary
funding to meet the obligation. Mr. Kohlan addressed the Council stating the obligation
would be met. He indicated he is the Secretary of the Foundation and said the members
of the Foundation are aware of the obligation that has to be met, and it would be met.
Mayor Lieb] said the City would meet the obligations in the agreement just as the �
Foundation had agreed to meet theirs. i
Counci]man Breider said it would be fine with him as .long as the Foundation said they '
would meet their obligation and the installment payments. Mr. Kohlan pointed out
that the Foundation had already paid $15,000 and the payment of $8,000 plus the
interest would be coming up in May. Mayor Liebl indicated the $15,000 had been '
the down payment for the property. Mr. Kohlan repeated, the Foundation had a I
$15,000 investment in the property. j
The City Manager said this was true, and now the City is not to purchase the land
until the application of the funding is approved. Mr. Kohlan said he was aware of
this reguiation.
MO7ION by Councilman Starwalt to receive the letter from Mr. David 7orkildson,
Director of Parks and Recreation, Anoka County, dated January 10, 1974. Seconded
by Counciman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the
motion carried unanimously.
Mayor Liebl read the letter from Mr. Torkildson aloud to the Council and audience.
Councilman Starwalt questioned the acquisition of Parcel #3 or the Hayes River Lots,
and asked what was the procedure for this and what would the terms be. Councilman
Breider indicated this would be the terms of the agreement.
Mr. Kohlan said the City was under no obligation to complete the purchase. The '
City Attorney said the City had entered into an agreement to participate, not by
' condemnation, but by agreement and the necesssry documents had been signed. Mr.
-•Kohlan said the Fnundation would carry the burden. Mr. Kohlan further explained
that the State people had expressed a desire that this be a pilot project.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to approve the agreement between the City and the
Islands of Peace Foundation as recommended by the Administration. Seconded by
Councilman Utter. •�
The City Manager said this agreement was for the purposes of satisfying the necessary
dacuments for making application for the funding. Ne continued stating a larger and
more complete agreement would also be drawn up for the undeveloped property. He
said the Islands of Peace Foundation would agree to develop the property in a natural
state and the City's obligation for the maintenance would be defined in detail.

U.pon a voice vote, al1 voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carrie� unanimously.
Mr. Ed Wilmes, Originator of the Islands of Peace, addressed the Council and said %
he would like to talk about two matters unrelated to the present item. , ;
Mr. WiTmes said he had met with the Chairman of the Foundation that day a�nd the
Chairman had received a communication from Commissioner Robert L. Herbst� Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources concerning a tour of the Islands of Peac� by himseif
and Mr, bon Davison, Director of the 1�linnesota Department of Parks and Recreation,
December 28, 1973. Mr. Wilmes stated the reason for the tour was to determine what
could be done by the State Departments listed previously, to aid in the project.
He said they were also concerned about how the facility couid relate to �he State
facilities and take care of the future needs of the wildlife and natural areas.
Mr. Wilmes said it is assential that this natural area for the disadvant�g2d and
- handicapped have no boundaries for cooperation.
Mr. Wilmes continued his presentation by quoting from various newspaper �rticles
and Council minutes which pointed out the histroy of the project from th� time of
its origination by Mr. Wilmes to the present time.
Mr. Wilmes concluded his presentation with a brief explanation of the banefits
� of public education on the activities of the handicapped and disabled. Fie cited
an example of this type of progress as the construction of�a shelter bui'l�ing within
ihe State Fair Grounds for the har,dicapped and disabled, which was cons�ructed by the
Navy Seabees.
REUIEW OF MODIFIED PRELIMINARY REPORT ON SAfETY IMPROVEMENT ON EAST RIV�R ROAD FROM
I. 694 TO RICE CREEK:
Mayor Liebl said the problem areas at the present time are in the siret�h of East
River Road adjacent.to the Georgetown Apartments. He said it was his apinion that
the Council should have a study session on this proposed plan so they would be
able to go into detail when the presentation is made to the people of the area.
The City Manager said some determination has to be made on what to pres,�nt to the
people. He said they would have to tell the people what is proposed arVd why it
is proposed. He felt the improvements made at the intersection of Misslissippi
and East River Road had a favorable response from the people. He saidinow, the City
could take the next stop and present a modified plan to the people forjthe other
areas. He said if ihe improvements are nat ail done at one time, theyjcould be
done section by section, but since the area of Georgetown is the bad a�ea, he
suggested this be done first. Ne stressed the need to formulate a pro osal for the
public. � ;
Mayor Liebl asked if the Administration had been in contact with the p�"operty owners
of the area and the City Manager said that contacts had been made, and�they were
in agreement with the present modified proposal in the area of Georgetbwn: Mayor
-Liebl said he thought the plan �ould be finalized. The City Manager said he would
like to have a study session of the Councf] before this is done.
Councilman Nee asked if the Planning Comm9ssion could be included in the study
session. Mayor Lieb] sa�d they had not been involved in the discussion of the proposal
last time it was being considered. .
Councilman Nee said if the meeting would include the Pianning Commission, this would
bring in more points of view than if the Council would ga over the matter alone before
the people are brought in.
The City Manager stressed the importance of diminishing the problems on the East
River Road and said they are not �ust go�ng to go away, ihe Council would have
to keep after them.
Councilman Breider questioned if the structures of the area couTd be included
in the map presented to the Council, he said it would be important for the Council
and the people to know where the roadway would be in relation to the structures.
The City Manager said he would like the Council to approve the concept of the
modified plan. He said the public did not like the first plan, and he had tried �
to modify it and make it workable.

Mayor Liebl•suggested the study session on East River Road be conducted after the
next evening's session on North Park. Councilman Utter said he had determined there
would be many people present at that session, and questioned if it would become
too late to begin a study sessian.
The City Manager said the plan had been compromised considerably, engineeringwise.

Mr. Harris asked if this building was going to be used as a
warming house only, or would they be using it for storage. Mr.
C1arY. said it would lie used for recreation in the summer time, for
class rooms. Thi.s area will be pa�rt of the trail system. It could
be used for storage, but there is an old barn on the fringe of this
same park property, and I have mentioned to Paul Brown that rather
than ask to have thi_s barn removed, that this would make a good storage
building. .
1. CONTINUI�,D: PUBLIC FiEAR1NG: REQUI:ST FOR A SPECIAL USE PERMIT,
� SP #�73-13, BY A. DAVIDSOAj: To permit the sale of used cars at'

and �ast of Highway #65, per Fridley City Code, Section 205.101,

Public Hearing open. �
Mr. Earl Peterson, Mr. A. Davidson, and Mr. Gus Doty were
present.
' , Mr.'Doty presented a picture of American
at 5245 Lyndale Avcnue South`and copies of the
this company on their used car sales.
Auto Listing's location
warranty g.iven by
Chairman Fitzpatrick said this item had been continued because
there were only three members present at the previous meeting and
those present wanted to Iook at the other location where American
Auto Listing was already doing business.
- Mr. Blair said he had looked at the picture of the facilities
at 5245 Lyndale and asked Mr. Davidson what kind of facility they
intended to have in Fridley.
Mr. Davidson said that in addition to the used car lot, they
intended to have full service facilities, if this location was
successful. �
Mr. Davidson said they have been in business for 8 months and
this was a new type of concept in the sale of used cars. They haven't
had one complaint to the Better Business Bureau du'r.ing this time. We
feel we have the best warranty offered in the State. At the Lyndale
location we only sell used cars, but at the Hopkins location, we
=have full servic� facilities. We have just renewed our license at csu�r•
`three present locations, with no probl'em. , ' �.
'� Mr. Lindblad said you charge a 15% commission for selling these
cars. Mr. Davidson said we take care of the trade-ins and the financ-
ing also.
I '

Mr. Clark asked how long they intended to use a temporary
structure at this site. Mr. Davidson said they didn't know if they
would have � garage at this site with a full service area and body
shop, or whether it would just be a used car office. He said they
would need six months.of operations to make the decision on what
type of permanent structure they would want, and within a year of
�
�
,
Planning Commission Mceting - January 9, 1974 Page 3
th� start of operations, they would have a permanent structure.
��
Mr. Harris said he had visited their location in St. Paul. He
, asked Mr. Davidson how long they had been in business there, Mr.
Davidson said that- 1ot had been open for 612 months, and he had to
admit this was a bad decision. They 11ad many problems with this
, lot because of vandalism and i�he bad area it was locai�ed in. Mr.
Iiarris said if he was to look favorably on this request, �h� facilities
would have to be much better than what he had seen in St. Paul.
� Mr. Davidson said it does measure up to the neighborhood it's in.
This lot does fit in with the nei_ghborhood and i�he clientele, but��
they �aere ashamed of this location in St. Paul.

Mr. Harris said if we do recommend

review this after they are in operation�.
approval of this request,
so we would be able to
' Mr. Fitzpatrick said that cve could stipulate that before this
is renewed, that a permanent structure r�place the temporary structure.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Clark if there should be mention of the
� signs, lighting, landscaping, curbing or_ a plot plan showing their
layout for Coun�il. Mr.. Clark said most of this could probably be
handled by administration, because a temporary building wouldn't go
' to Building Standards, but they should hav� a plot pZan showing all
these things, before they go to Council.
' Mr. Harris wondered if they should have some fencing. Mr. Lindblad
said it would be hard to .sell��:�sed., cars. with a f�nce around the
property.
� Mr. Harris asked what plans the petitioner had for the property
zoned M-1. Mr. Davidson said it could be used for a service area
related to the used car lot.
'� � Mr. Lindblad asked Mr. Davidson what licenses were required
to opertate a used car lot. Mr. Davidson said they were licensed ��
� both by the State and locally. They have to have a license for
each lot..
'
'
'
'
Mr. Clark said Mr. Peterson had mentioned at.the meeting of
December 19th that they intended to�bring sewer and water in for .
their temporary building. Mr. Peterson said this was available to �
the site, and they wanted it brought in•.before they put in a permanent
parking lot. Mr. Clark said there would have to be plumbing facilities
available on the site. -

2. RE�UPST I'OR A LOT SPLIT, L.S. #74-01, }3Y' AM�RIC�1N AUTO LISTINGS:

Mr. Clark asked if the petitioner owned all of parcel #�78U
and if it was abstract or torrens pro�erty.
' Mr. Doty said it �aas abstraci� property and.Sheldon Mort�nson
was the fee owne.r of the property, but the petitianer has a purchase

��

LI�'
�
�
�
,
Mr. C1ark as}:ed if i�hey intended to split this lot immediately
and if they were going to record it right away. Mr. Peterson said
he thaught they would do it as soon as possible. Mr. Clark said
the reason he was asking was b�cause, while he thought it was a
good idea to split the propert.y at the zoning iine, the legal descrip-
tion was quite complicated, and as this property did extend from
Central Aven.ue to Highway #65, it might be better to plat it than
handle it as a lot split.
Mr. Harris said that at the time the Planning Commission asked
the petitioner to apply for a lot split to divide the C-2S property
and the M-1 property, the petitioner oniy had a gurchase agreement
on the commercial property.
� Mr. Clark said he thought the City Attorney should check the
legal description to see if this meets the legal requirements�for a
lot split, or if it should be platted. � �
'� Mr.' Harris-said he felt this should be divided at the zoning
line also, because maybe the petitioner might want to sel�l the M-1
property, and purchase scame addii:iona].. �.ommex�:ia3,• 3;ot�. that aYe avail-
able South of their present site. .
MOTION by Harris, seconded by B1air, that the Planning Commission
� recommend to Council approval of the request for a 1ot split L.S.
#7�l-�1, by llmerican 11uto LisL-ings, to split off that,portion of
Parcel #4780 presently zoned C-2S, in Section 12, T-30 R-2�1, lying
West of the�East Iine of Lot 10, B1ock 1, Central View Manor, extended
North, th'e same being 7395 Flighwa� #65 N.E., if the description fa11s
within the frarnework of a lot split, this be�ing determined by t1�e
Cit� Attorney. Upon a voice vote, a11 votinq aye, the motion carried
unanimous2y.

should be platted, i� would have to.come back to the Planning Commissior
for a Public Hearing, but tlzis would not hold up the special use
request. Mr. Pe�er_son said this was agreeable to the petitioner.
3. �RMORY RE�UEST
Mr. Fztzpat�ic)c asked if we had had any more response on
the armory i:equest.
Mr. Clark said we haven't, but he didn't exp.ect any, because' �
he thouglit mosi� organization � didn' t meet in December_ and would

As East River Road has been a constant source of traff ic problems for
the City of Fridley, the City has consistently been working with the Anoka
County Highway Department to alleviate some o� the problems on tliis roadway.
' . \ In April, 1970, there was a safety improvement report prepared and
submitted to the City of Fridley and the County. Pursuant to this report,
there were a number of public hearings held on the proposal, with a con-
' siderable amount of opposition from the property owners living along East
River Road, especially between the area of 61st Avenue and Mississippi
Street regarding the installation of roadway dividers.
�
'

u
'
'

There are two divergent concerns of �the County and the City regarding
the movement of the traffic, i.e. the County's basic concern is to move
the traffic through the City and the City`s concern is to see that the
local traffic from t�ie City can get on and off the highway .safely. The
City of Fridley has been pushing towards this end.
Now that the improvement of the intersection of Mississippi and
East River Road has been completed, there seems to be general approval
of the improvement by the neighborhood and the general public.
The City Council in general, and C,ouncilman Nee in particular, have .
been quite concerned about the traffic problems on East River Road in
recent times, especially the problems near the Georgetown apartment complex.
We'have been working with Anoka County Consulting�Engineer Jack
Anderson to evolve a program towards the safety improvement of East River
Road. ° �
Attached herewith is a map of the proposal prepared by 3ack Anderson
for the stretch of roadway on East River Roaii from I.694 to Mississippi
. Street which is really a compromise between a perfect engineering solution
and the general concerns of the property owners adjoining the roadway in
this area.

January 4, 1974
I must stress this is only a preliminary proposal for the Gouncil
review. We would like to see the City Council give a thorough review and
then offer �heir input before we prepare a formal presentation for
further action.
The basic points taken care of in this report are:
1. Revision of the intersection improvement of Georgetown
apartment entrance and East River Road. This would
require relinquishing some right of way by the Minnes-ota
Highway llepartment.
2. Divider openings between Georgetown.signal and the Mississippi
Street signal allowing adjoining people to get on and off the
highway and still provide a protected area.
I am suggesting the Council review this material and then we would
request a meeting where this proposal can be thoroughly discussed to
det.ermine a further course of action.

Traffic Safety Study �
Dear h1r Qureshi,
Pursuant to our conversation of December 26, 1973,
on the above referenced subject, I am transmitting here-
with a copy of a progress report on the project. The
report includes a 100 scale sepia suitable for overlay
on aerial photographs to facilitate study. If you do
not have aerials this scale, I am sure that Mr Lundheim
would be happy to provide them.
We would appreciate if you would evaluate the concept
from your standpoint and provide some general comments
in keeping with the concept approach. 4Je want to remain
flexible and adaptible with our concept until we are sure
that all. the problems have been identified.
The report suaclests an implementation timetable which
would schedule informal public presentations by the end
of this month, so it would be very helpful if we could
have your comments within the next two weeks if possible.
Please cal� if you have any quest7ons. We will keep_
you informed of develooments as they happen.
Very truly yours,
, �, �,_<_c�'—�--u�

Dear Mr. L�:ndheim,

Early in 1973 our firm v�as directed to take a fresh look at traffic
� ". problems in ihis part of the East River Road ta see if there were
any opportuni�ties for innovative solutions overlooked in the Oriqinal
' TOPICS p1an.

In our pre7iminary iook at the area we identified three distinct study
sections:
Sectian A-?he Georgetown Court Apartment area from I-694 to and
including the Downing Box Company. �
Sectian Q- The undeveloped industrial area from Downinq Box Company to
61st Way. This section includes the proposed signal at 61st Way
which will serve the RabertLouis Stevenson Elementary School.
Section C- The residential area north af 61st Way , including the
recently completed channelizatian and signalizati•on at "lississippi S�C.
The three sections are identified on the attached 100 scale cancept
layout , which will fit over the aerial photoqraph of the area.
The three sections are similar in that ali require four lanes for through
traffic. Now�ver, each section is separate and distinct with regard
to type of access, accident potential arid desian standards required�to
maintain an acceptable level of service. Each sect�on is discussed in
the paragraphs that follow. .
Section A- From I-fi94 to Downinq E3ox Company
4te looked at this section first because of the reported accident and
access problems here. There are a r,umber of factors which combine to
produce a high accident potential in this section. �ieing closest to
the freeway, traffic voTumes in this section are the hiyhest,as are the

operating speeds. The traffic volumes generated by the �eorgetown
apartment complex and the industrial uses have high peaking character-
istics which compound the access �roblem.
It is generally conceded that traffic in this section should be brouqht
together at one good intersection, and traffic signals installed. How-
ever, a poorly designed intersection would be a real bottleneck and
potentially cause as many accidents as it prevented.
Previous attempts at designing a goo�i intersection were handicapped by
R%!J constraints. The only apparent intersection opportunity was too
far north. This would have caused an unreasonable amount of circuitous
travel for most tri�s which are oriented southward. No one was very
happy wi.th the previously proposed solutions.
Ignoring the existing freeway access control limits, we recognized an
onnortunity to construct a reasonably aood intersection about 20� feet
south of the existing access control terminus. A preliminary desic�n
was developed and fot�warded tn the Minnesota !�i�hway Dept. (MHD) for
review and comment. After several follow up meetinas with P�HD, they
have now indicated satisfaction with our proposed layout and are confi-
dent that details can be worked out,
Following the encouraginq word from h1ND we met with Mr. Nasim �ureshi,
Engineer and Administratar for the City of Fridley to invite his comments
on the new layout. His initial reaction was favorable and he has re-
quested a copy of the layout for further study. Accordinqly, we are
forwarding a copy of this .report to him.
Section B- Downing Box Co. to 6lst. Way.
In our meeting with Mr. Qureshi, we took the opportunity to discuss our
preliminary thinking on Sections B and C. In line wi.th previous commit-
ments in the original,TOPICS study, a traffic signal at 61st I4ay is con-
a given in order to provide safer access to the Robert Louis St�venson
Elementary School.
Previous thinkinq alsa suggested there be no median openinq between the
Georgetown intersection and 61st. l�ay. However, the Georqetown inter-
section has been moved to the south, and no frontage road is proposed
on the the east side between Sections A and g. This would result in

a confl.i�ct between pedestrians and trucks at 61st Way. We would �
therefore propose a median opening at Charles St. as proposed on the
Concept overlay. The pros and cons of this proposal have not been fully
explored at this time. ' •
Section G- 61st Way to Mississippi St.
Obviousiy the most difficult section because of the offset streets and
the probable difficulty of R/W acquisition, this section none-the-less
offers some opportunities for acceptable solutions in terms of safety
and accessibi]ity. _
The arrangemer�t of local streets in this section is such that there are
no direct east-west crossings. Streets are staggered, creating a num-
ber of T-intersections. Normally T-intersections are relatively safe,
but here there are too many in too short a distance. With this in mind
we explored the possibilit.y of providin� a limited nun,ber of T-inter-
sections to satisfy access needs. The concept overlay gives an exam�le
of how this can be done. Other combinations are possible, but we feel
that this one is most wortly of consideration.
Essential to�any reduction of accidents in this area is protection for
left turning vehicles within a median area. This requires additional
R/W width. Thanks to the now defunct Minneapolis, Anoka and Cayuna
Railroad there remains a 50 ft. wide strip of R/W adjacent to the east
side of CSAH #1 through Sections B and�C. Although rrot entirely clear
of dwellings, it does offer an opoortunity to provide the typical road-
wa.y section needed without undue impact on the area.
Streets that are not provided with a median opening can be treated in
several ways. They can be cul-de-saced or connected with frontage roads.
Both of these metho�s suggest developrnent of a remote frontage road
facility. Nowever, there appears to be no reason to cut these streets
off from simple in-out access as shown on the concept overlay. U-turns
at the median opening locations would be tolerable because of. the low
turning volumes invoived,and the ga�s in traffic created by adjacent
traffic signals. Obviously, this subject needs further study and input
from local sources. ' -

Typical Section"
Traffic volumes cantinue to increase on CSAH#l. The latest traffic count
(May, i973) recorded a two-way volume of 18,50R just south of Mississippi
Street for the 16 hour period from 6:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Factored
for 24 hours, and for time of year, this would probably be just over
20,000 ADT: �
. The existing roa�r�ray is four lanes undivided. Four lanes provides ade-
quate capacity when the traffic is uninterrupted,�but additional turn
lanes are needed ai signalized intersections where a share of the qreen
time is allocated to the crossing street. As previously mentioned, a
center median is es.sential to reducing the.hiqh acciden� rate in Section
C. The only question is whether the median should be wide enough to
accommodate ief't turn slots, or if the med�an should be an uninterrupted
barrier forcing all turning movements to ihe ends of the section.
The west sid� of Section C would be hurt the most by an uninterrupted
barrier because of the lack of an opportunity to construct a remote
frontaqe road. All turning movements�wouid have to take place at Missi-
ssippi St. resulting in increased travel for the residents and an addi-
tional burden on the intersection�►,esulting in a drop in the level of
service it can provide.
The east side of Section C has a good opportunity for a remote frontage
road along the Burlington-Narthern tracks. However, this too would re-
sult in some circuitous travel, albeit not as severe as on the west side.
We are therefore confronted with a tradeoff situation between (1) the
high accident rate with no median, (2) the restricted accessibility and
lower level of service at intersections with an uninterrupted median,
and (3) the necessity for dislocatin� a number of families in order to
provide room for a wider median to accommodate left turn slots.
Consideration for sidewalks and bike paths is an additional concern in
deciding on the elements to be incorporated in the TypicaT Section.

Figure 2 illustrates how a 100 foot R/W width could be utilized in
Section C. The main difference between Figure 1 and Figure 2 is that
the 10 foot shoulder in Figure 1 is replaced by a 2 foat gutter in
Figure 2. Aerial photographs indicate that two dwellings would be af-
fected if the typical section in Fiqure 2 were implemented.
These typical sections are suggested starting points for discussion.
There are many variables to consider before a decision can be made.
Width of sidewalk, width of bike path, snow storage, pedestrian stora�e,
all figure into the final composition of typical section elements.
The Next STEP
Now that we have received a green liqht from the Minnesota Highway
Qept., and have informally discussed our progress with the Fridley
staff, the next step is to meet with all affected parties in the area.
Hopefully we can shape a pro.posal for an overall solution that is not
only functional, but politically acceptable.
This progress report will serve as a basis for further study and eval-
uation of the improvement concepts dev�1oped to date. �A copy of this
report is being transmitted to Nasim Qureshi for his review. At the
same time we need to involve other interested parties to provide the
local input for concept refinement to the point where the concept
can be termed a proposal. Toward this end,I will meet with interested
parties in Section A in early January. Contacts in sections B and C
should not be made until the Fridley staff has had an opportunity to
study the concept and make informal comment.
With the benefit of Fridley staff comments we should be in a position
to present the concept to interested parties in Sections B and C, the
Fridley Council and Planning Commission,'and the Anoka County Board.
In all presentations it should be emphasized that we are trying to find
t�.r.

solutions that are both functional and acceptable, and that input from

We should have cornments from the Fridley staff by mid-January and be
able to comolete the concept presentations by the end of January if ail
goes well. �

ANOKA COUNTY LAKE STUDY
On January 10, 1974, I contacted Mr. Bob Hutchinson
concerning the Anoka County Lake Study Program, and discussed the following
information:
1. The Anoka County Lake Study was approved by the Anoka County Health
Department for 1974.
2. The Anoka County Lake Study Program was tentatively approved by the
Anoka County Board of Com�missioners for 1974. The condition of the
approval was that the Department was to find supplementary means of
financing this project. Mr. Hutchinson stated that up to this time
this program is still tentative and will begin operation approximately
30 days after the additional funds are found.
Accompanying this memo is a copy of a letter sent to Mr. Bob
Hutchinson by our Parks and Recreation Director, P�r. Paul Brown, requesting
information as soon as it is avaiiabie. � �

RICE CREEK CLEANUP
1
� On June 20, 1973, Ralph Volkman and I mei witl� the Managers
' of the Rice Creek Watershed District and informed them of the City's
intention to do some improvement along Rice Creek through the summer of
1973. The Managers of ihe Watersfied District encouraged our project and
' indicated some financial assistance may be possible once the project is
completed.
At the meeting an estimate of the cost of the summer's
activities was submitted to them. This estimate is attached as Attach-
ment #1. On �he �stimate, the difference between the total cost and the
City's share can be attributed to the Anoka County and State of Minnesota
funds used to clean the creek as part of the County's Youth Employment
Program during the summer months.
As part of the lJatershed District requirements, the City was
asked to submit an actual cost statement at the end of the project. Attached
to this memo (Attachment #2) is a cost analysis o�F the summer's activities
as submitted by the Director of Parks and Recreaiion Paul Brown. The cost
estimated as part of the City's share of the total project was $2,578.44.

MEMO T0: CITY MANAGER
FROM:
DATE:
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
FRIDLEY, MINNESOTA
ADMINISTRATIVE ASSIS7ANT
JRNUARY 12> ].974
RE: ISLANDS OF PEACE STATUS
Islands of Peace and Ed Wilmes were first brought be�ore the City Council
at their February 28, 1972, meeting. In order to give you a quick review of the
activities which have tal<en place during the past two years, I have the following
highlights:
� 1.� At the City Council Meeting of January, 8, 1973, a motion was
made to approve the City's maintenance� of the areas to be�us�d in the Islands of
Peace project, and was approved by the Council. The reason for this request for
approval was due to a memo addressed to the Council from Ed Wilmes describing the
request to the Ford Foundation for $200,253 for improvements for the project.
(See attachment #1)
Z. At the City's May 14, 1973 Council Meeting, the City of Fridley
passed a resolution disbanding the Islands of Peace Committee and recognizing the
Foundation. (See attachment #2)
3. At the Council's May 2]., 1973 meeting, the Council authorized the
City A�torney to prepare an option agreement, and authorized the Mayor and City
Manager to sign this agreement. (This agreement is attached as attachment #3 and
.refers to the purchase of Hayes River Lots, Block 2, kot 3& 4)
4. In August of 1973 a preliminary LAWCON application was submitted to
the Office of Local Urban Affairs of the State of Minnesota for acquisition of the
Hayes River Lots, Block 2, Lots 3& 4. �
5. On December 14, 1973, the City of Fridley received correspondence
, from Mr. James J. Solem, Director of �he Office of Loca� and Urban Affairs, stating
• that the City of Fridley had received high priority on its preliminary application
for the Islands of Peace project. (See attachment #4)
�
'
'
�
II�
b. On January 10, 1974, the City Manager requested from the Director of
Park and Recreation an estimate of costs related to maintenance of the Is1ands of
Peace area. This projected cost amounted to $14,352, broken down betweeri �5,200 -
maintenance and $9,152 - personnel. (See attachment #5)

JANUARY 11, I974
At present the City of Fridle,y is in the process of preparing a finai
applica�ion for LAWCON funds for the Islands of Peace project. This application
is due January 15, 1974. The problems I forsee in the near future due io the
amount of monies required to get this project goir��, and also the short �ime
remaining on th� op�ion for the Hayes River Lots are as follows:
1. As was noted in Attachment #2 showing the option contract, as of
May 31, 1974, a minimum of an additional $8,000 is required to insure that the
original•option costs are not forfeit.
2. As was noted in the letter from the Office of Local and lirban
, Affairs (attachment #4), a note in the letter states, "do not exercise option or
take title to above parcels until formal approval is received from the Office of
' Local and Urban Affairs. Failure to reply wi11 result in making your project
. ineligible for state assistance."
3. 7he funds needed by th� Island of Peace Foundation, in order for
� them to complete the project, do not seem to be present at this time.

Subject: Islands of Peace
Dear Mr. Quershi:
The County of Anoka's Park and Recreation Committee
has reviewed the plans for �the Islands of Peace praject
on the Mississippi River and find that there is no con--
flict between this project and the county's comprehen-
sive park plan.
We feel that this project would be and is a compliment
to the total recreational facilities_that are and will
be available to the veterans as well as the general
public in the metropolitan area.
The park committee will submi-t this for consideration
of the county board of commissioners on January 18th
at their regular board meeting.
