Seconded by Councilman $tarwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl deciared the motion carried una»imously and the Public Hearing opened at 7:36 p,m. ALLEY BETWEEN ELM AND MAIN STREETS (78TH TO 79TN): The City Manager said the purpose of the improvement wouTd be to aliow access to the bui]ding to be built in this area and access to the constructions would have to be provided. He said the total cost on this portion of the project would be $5,600 and this would only be the improvement of the alley between Elm and Main Streets. Mayor Lieb] asked if there was anyone present who wanted to speak in favor of the improvement. There was no response. The City Attorney asked if there had been a petition for the improvement of the ailey. The City Manager said the area developer is committed to having the alley improved. 78TH AVENUE: ALLEY TO RAILRQAD RIGHT-OF-WAY: The City Manager provided a map of the proposed improvement on the overhead projector and said the Council had reviewed the area in conjunction with the vacation of some easements and also for the preliminary approval of a foundation perm�t. The City Manager said tf�is improvement would affect Mr. Zeis's property to the north and Mr. Houser's property to the south. , Councilman Breider asked if the Railroad was involved in this improvement and the City Manager said no. The City Manager pointed out the area on the map saying it was the portion which would extend to the cul-de-sac. Councilman Starwalt questioned if this portion of roadway would total an expenditure of $16,144 for the completion of the street. Ne asked if there had been any development or such improvements in this area previous� to this time. 7he City Manager said there had not been any improvements in this area. A representative of the Shaile Corporation, 7800 Beech Street, addressed the Council and asked if the improvement for this portion of 78�h would be $48.05 per foot. • Mayor Liebl said this was correct. 79TH AVENUE: ALLEY TO RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY: The City Manager explained this improvement would be��in the westerly portion of 79th to serve the property south of the Zies property. He said the abutting property , owners are being assessed. . 0 � � , F ' ; ; t I� � I i � ; S { 1� ; : PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1974 PAGE 2 Mr, Richard Carlson, Park Construction Company, said he would have an assessment of $12,995. Ne explained when their facilities had been constructed, the access and e,�ess was planned and installed in a different area. Mr. Carlsan said he would not use the street for access and egress and this improvement would serve no purpose at all to Park Construction. He repeated, there would be no benefit from the street at all. Mayor Liebl stated the record should state that Mr. Carlson abjects to the�installation of the improvement. Mr, Carlson said he is paying a very heavy assessment at the present time for another improvement project and if this assessment were to be added to this amount, it would make the payment quite prohibitive. Mayor Liebl said there would be improvements in the entire City which would go along with the overall plan to complete improvements of the City streets., The City Manager said this recommendation had come from t�he staff and this was in linP with the policy the Ci�Cy had followed for years. The City Manager referred the Council's attention to the property to the south which had received preliminary approval from the Council for the �onstruction of five buildings. He stated the Council would have to make a determination on the installation of the improvements and the method of assessment, He stated about 50� of the property owners had requested the improve- ments. Councilman Utter asked if the property in back of the property owned by Park Construction (that which abuts the railroad tracks) would be affected by this improvement. The City Manager said Park Construction owns the property abutting the street almost up to the railroad tracks. He said the triangular piece is under the ownership of several people and would not be assessed for this improvement, as there would be no access to this street to the property in question. Councilman Utter asked if Park Construction had more property on the road than the other party being assessed for the improvement. He questioned if this would mean that the 50% figure was not correct, The City Manager said the policy which was being used in this instance is the same as that which had been followed for a number of years. He said it d.id not make any difference if the property was larger or smaller, the determining factor would be the amount-of front footage. Mayor Liebl stated this is the policy the City had followed and he did not think this could be changed in this case to allow an exception. The Finance Director said for the side street assessment, one half of the residents on the north and one half of the residents on the south would be assessed. He said this type of assessment is split evenly also. He mentioned this is the improvement hearing, not the assessment hearing and the Council could determine the amount of payment of the assessments at the assessment hearing on the improvement. � Councilman Breider said the Council would have to authorize the improvement because it had authorized the building permits for the five buildings in the area. Councilman Breider asked Mr. Carlson if he objected to the impr.ovements or the assessments. Mr. Carlson said he would receive no benefit from the improvements. He continued stating he would pay his fair share in a case where he would be receiving some benefit Councilman Nee said he wondered if the people who are developing the area could be Contacted to determine if they would be willing to pick up the total assessments for the improvement. He added, maybe the issuance of the building permit could be influenced by this factor. He said he did not think this would be a deviation from what had been done in the past and the builder would be making money off the construc- tion of the buildings. Councilman Nee said he thought the City should determine this factor before taking any action. .• Mayor Liebl said the determination on the benefits to Mr. Carlson couid be discussed at the assessment hearing. MOTION by Councilman Breider to close the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt, llpon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried � � � � , ' .

Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, Mayor Lieb1 declared the motion carried unanimously, and the Public Hearing opened at 8:Oi p.m. The Ciiy Manager said the costs of the improvement would all be borne by the developer. A representative from Shalle Corporation said he did not object to the improvement. He explained he had been notified from Chicago to attend the meeting and report back to the Company what the improvement 'consists -0f and the cost of it. The City Manager said if there is no additional benefit to�the property owners, they would not be assessed. Mayor Liebl asked the representative of Shalle Corporation if he was opposed to the improvement and the representative said he was not opposed. Councilman Breider questioned the parce7 number 7250 and.said he believed this to be owned by Park Construction Company. He questioned why they were added to this project. The City Manager said this would be for the installation of the sewer and water lines in the back of the property. Councilman Utter asked why this was needed when there was already a water and sewer line in the front of the,property. The City Manager said this was determ�;�ed by the recommendation of the assessing Department. The finance Director said only 265 feet of frontage had been assessed and this was the area closest to the tracks. He said this would not be the final assessment, this was just an estimate for the purposes of the hearing on the improvement. Mr. Carlson said a portion of the assessment for the water main is to be assessed to Park Constructian, and the Company never intended to build in that area< He said there is nothing in the area that would burn, just heavy equipment occupied that area. He said he did not need the water main. The City Manager said to provide adequate water supply, the loop through would be necessary. MOTION by Councilman Breider to close the Public Nearing. Seconded by Counci]man , Utter. Upori a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimousiy and the Public Hearing closed at 8:06 p.m. REQUEST FOR 7RANSFER OF AMERICAN LEGION LICENSES FROM PRESENT LOCATION TO 1315 RICE CREEK ROAD: MR. NENRY PETERSON: • Mr. Henry Peterson, Fridley American Legion, addressed the Council and explained the facility they were presently leasing was vacated by the renter and the conditions were such that the water from the roof is leaking through to their operation. He said the new location would be within the complex of the newly constructed 7-11 Store on Rice Creek Road and Oid Central Avenue. He called the Council's attention to the fact that the citizenship classes are currently being held by the Legion and this would allow for a very nice meeting piace. ' Mr, Peterson requested that the Council give some indication on the feasibi]�ty of transferring the licenses to 1315 Rice Creek Road. MOTION by Councilman Breider to give tentative approval of the transfer of the licenses if the Administration finds no code violations and if the operation has sufficient parking. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. . The City Manager suggested the Legion obtain an application from City Hall and complete the application with the necessary information, He said this requirement must be met and all of the other. code requirements must also be met. Me said if this is done, the City would issue the license, but the matter would still have to� come back to the Council for formal and final approval. Ne said the next meeting would be two weeks from the present meeting. 0 .1 ., PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1974 PAGE 4 Mr. Peterson said the Legion would have to be out of the present facility by the first of the month. Councilman Starwalt said if the Council would vote on the matter, they could make the approval contingent on the requirements of the code being met. Mr. Peterson said he had hoped for some indication from the Council before.the lease would be signed. He said they would not want to sign a year's 7ease.and not be granted a license for the operation. The City Manager said he would work with Mr. Peterson to see that there are no prob]ems when it is brought back for Council approval. UPON A VOICE VOTE, all vating aye, Mayor tiebl declared the motion carried unanimously. RECEIUING THE MINUTES OF THE BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING RY , 9 4: IDERATION OF A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT_SPECULATIVE BUILDINGS LOCATED ON LOTS 1-72 The City Manager said this was the request for the construction of the five buiidings which had been discussed previously. He added, the Subcommittee had recommended approval of the request with some stipulations. He said there would be a need for some easements and also a stipulation which would require each of the buildings to have its own parking space in the case that the individual buildings would be sold. He said the time table for the completion of the construction of the five buildings would be two years. He added, if all the five buildings are not provided in this length of time, one of the stipulations would insure the landscaping of the entire area at this time. Mayor Liebl said f�e would want to make sure the man was aware that he would be responsible for the proper amount of assessments on this property. Ne said he would recommend the addition of the stipulation that would make him responsible as the benefited party for the payment of the assessments. The City Attorney said this type of stipulation would not be necessary because the law provides for this. He suggested the Administration should contact Mr. Zeis and make him aware of the possible range and possible assessments. Councilman Nee said the developer needs the utility facilities and he again suggested these utilities be put in at their expense. He said this had been done in the past where the developer is allowed to install the utilities and then dedicate the land to the City, but in this case, it is City dedicated land at the present time. Councilman Nee said he thought Mr. Carlson had a good - claim when he had stated he would receiving no benefit from the improvements. He said if the Council would let the policy prevail, f�1r. Carlson would get stuck with the improvement assessments for which he is receiving no benefit. He repeated other developers have been asked to develop the improvements and deed the land to the City. - The Gity Attorney said the Council and the staff had talked about the policy being used on a front foot basis and he questioned when an exception in the policy would be made. He pointed out in residential R-1 areas, both of the property owners abutting the improvement would pay equally. He said in this case, other factors do exist which would prove tk7e other property owner wouid not have an equal benefit because he has an other access to his property. Ne said the Council may not want to deviate, but they could consider this improvement in light of the benefit obtained by the two property owners. He said if this matter were dealt with in the courts, they would back up what Councilman Nee was pointing out. He said each case should be weighed for its individual benefits. He suggested the assessments be levied on a 60 to 40 or 75 to 25 basis. He pointed out the courts are becoming more involved in community action such as this. He said perhaps in this case, a real estate appraisor should be consulted. MOTION,by Councilman Breider to approve the proposed building�,plans with the stipulations recommended by the Building Standards Design Con'trol Subcommittee , and with an additional stipulation that the developer be responsible for the improvements necessary to the development of the buildings.

PAGE 5 Councilman Breider said he would favor this type of statement being incorporated in the motion because this would have to be determined when the assessment roll is figured and they were unable to say at the present time what the assessment , cost would and shou]d be. He said he would like the developer io be sware that he may be responsib7e for more of the assessment. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ail voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously. CONSIDERATION Of A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT AN � NT COMPLEX LOCATED ON The City Manager said this item would be taken care of during the next item on the agenda. IDERATION OF A REQUEST TO CONSTRUCT AN � TQ THE PRESEN7 STRUC7URE ..��� . � , , ., . The City Manager pointed out that this proposed construction would be an addition to the Fridley Assembly of God Church. He said the Subcommittee had recommended approval of the request with the stipalations that the curbing be provided now or in the period of two years, and that if the brick is structurally impossible due to the design of the building, new plans would be drawn to present a similar construction to what is existing at the present time. . The City Manager placed the plan for the construction on the easel. Mayor Liebi asked if the construction would be a ccntinuation of the current struct- ure styling. The City Manager said yes, there would be brick to allow a continuous looking type of structure. Mr. Jerry Boardman, Planning Assistant, pointed out the area of the proposed construction on the plan on the easel and said the original plans ca]led fo1^ construction of block and the Subcommittee had recommended this be brick to blend with the existing structure. He said if this is structually impossible, new�pians would be developed to allow w continual effect in the addition construction.

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST TO_CONS7RUCT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX LOCATED ON THE 7he City Manager explained there had been a joint meeting of the Board of Appeals and the Building Standards committees for consideration of the item. He said thtis would be a rather 7arge construction which would be adjacent to City Hall on 5th Street. He said the building would be a north/south building and he referred to the plan on the easel for the proposed elevations, He recalled the Council had approved the parcel rezoning and there had been an agreement with the developer at that time. He pointed out there would be a need for the approval of some variances as indicated in the minutes of the meeting. He advised the Council that the Boards had recommended approval of the request with the ll stipulations listed. The City Manager commented he assumed the developer would like to proceed through the proper channe7s and receive the additional variances which may be required before the construction of the complex. Councilman Breider 1isted the various additional variances which may be required. Mayor Liebl said the proposal would include three different types of units, the effeciency or studio, the one bedroom and the twdbedroom with the possible adaptation of the second bedroom being a den or study. Mayor Lieb7 asked if the recommending bodies had concurred with the proposal. The City Manager said yes, with the recommended stipulations. Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Arvil Miller, resident of the area, if he agreed with the proposal. Mr. Arvil Mi11er addressed the Council and said if this p�oposal was the same as presented and agreed upon at the Subcommittee meeting, he wou7d concur in it. Ne said if the proposal had not changed, he would have no objections. Mayor Liebl asked if any of the other area residents were concerned about this proposal. P1r. Miller indicated he was the only area resident present. The City Manager said Mr. Rudolph qante and Mr. Richard Reese, Wall Corporation, and Mr. Jerry �ardman, Planning Assistant, Gity of Fridley, were present at the meeting. Mayor Liebl said the proposal had nat changed much from the original proposals of the area, He indicated there would be R-1 residential single family homes constructed on the perimeter of the complex with the exception of the City Hall side. Mayor Liebl said he would like some indication if the Developer would agree to the stipulations of the Subcommittee. Mayor Liebl read the stipulations aloud to the Council and audience and asked Mr. Rudolph Dante if he agreed with the stipulations, and Mr. Dante indicated he was in agreement. Mayor l.iebl questioned the item listed where parking was not sufficient. Mr, Dante said he felt with the inside parking, this would provide ample parking for the complex. He said they were reluctant to increase the amount of parking area for aesthetic reasons. Ne said if this is not sufficient, the developer would be the first one to want to increase the amount of spaces. Mr. Dante : commented, he would not like to have a line of cars in the front of the buildings if this was not necessary. . Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Dante if he would agree with the plans for the development of the drainage system in the area and Mr. Dante said they agreed with this stipulation. Mayor Liebl qeustioned if in the future, there is a need for a storm sewer installation in the area, would the Wall Corperation pay their,fair share of this construction cost. Mr; Dante said this,would be agreeable. , CI, ' t � ' � , , ' ' — ' ' ' ' � , � ' , � • J ' �J 1 LJ ' � ' ���, I ' I ' � � PUBLIC HEARING MEE7ING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1974 63 . � -� PAGE 7 ' Councilman Starwalt questioned the possibility of the installation of foot paths for foot traffic of the area. Mr. Ddnte said this point had been discussed and he had determined it would not be feasible for the insta]lation of the foot paths through the residential properties. He said this"would create a public access to the private property. Councilman Starwalt continued saying the City had determined this is needed in this location through the residential lots to the west. He said he would not agree w9th the thought of the Wall Corporation. Mr. Qante said this had been talked about at the previous meeting of .the Council and the Subcommittees and it had been determined ty these bodies that this instaliation would not be feasible. He said Councilmart Starwalt could review the minutes of the meetings and this would be proven. Councilman Utter asked Mr. Dante if he agreed with the 11 sttpulations and Mr, Dante indicated he agreed. MOTION by Councilman Utter to approve the plan with the following stipulations: 1. Landscaping plan be brought to this Board (Building Standards-Design Control Subcommittee) before finalizing it on the development. 2. Lighting plan be brought to this Board (Building Standards-Design Cantrol Subcommittee) before finalizing it on the deve7opment. 3. Drainage plan be used as set up by the Engineering Department. 4.

Work out driveway plan on north side with Anoka County, possible retaining wall will be needed, 11. � If pianting is used for a buffer on the south side driveway, they will have to go before the Board of Appeals for a variance (from 15 feet to 7 feet). , Seconded by Councilman Breider who �dded the following stipulations: 12. That a tot lot be provided in the complex for an area.for the small . children to play on apparatus, so they do not wander to the residentiai , areas. ' . 13." That walking paths be installed through the complex area. 14. That the developer will pay for the installation of sidewalks associated with the complex in the normal policy or on 5th Street. ' Mr. Dante said he did not believe there would be many children living in the complex and did net believe the installation of the tot lot would be necessary. He added, if the prospective residents would look at the tot lot, they wouid believe that the complex was for children, and the Wall Corporation is not looking for the chi]dren in the complex, He said he would appreciate if the Council would • not add this stipulation. � y 64 -----------_ - ----, _ . . ` . � PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1474 PAGE 8 Councilman Nee suggested the stipulation on the tot lot be modified to state, "a tot lot would be installed by the Wall Corporation for the apartment complex if it is so ordered by the City". Councilman Utter said he did not believe the installation of the tot lot would be this complicated. He added, visitors to the people in the cnmplex may want someplace for their children to be occupied. Mr. Dante again stressed this would draw people with children to the camp]ex. He said he would not want it suggested this wou1d be a facility for children. Mrs. Pat Brennen, aCdressed the Council and asked if children like tennis are construction of anotheracomplexwwhichnwouldknothallowncouplesewithrchildren. She said this creates an undesirable situation for the communi.ty and should be discouraged. Councilman Starwalt said he would like to add a stipulation, #15 to the list. He said he would like this stipulation to read: "That reasonable access be provided to the northeast, east and southeast for �edestrian traffic". Mr. Dante said this would be inviting the general public to enter into private property. Mayor Liebl said this is all private property and this creation of the walkway would destroy the private property, He recalled in the acquisition for the property in the East River Road area, how the property owners protested to this type of installation because it woudl decrease the value of the property and also decrease the privacy on the residentiai property. Councilman Breider said he would like to make another addition to the stipulation which dealt with the creation of the sidewalks and this would be to state if there are sidevralks created around the perimeter of th�,parcel where the resi- dential properties would be, these assessments would de applied to the abutting property such as in all other cases within the City. Councilman Breider questioned if the stipulation suggested by Councilman Starwalt had been included in the list of stipulations. Mayor Liebl said there had been no s�ond to the addition of the stipulation by Counci7man Starwalt. Councilman Utter said he had made the motion, and he would not a11ow this addition to the original motion, � UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE, Councilman Nee voting aye, Councilman Breider voting aye,• Counci]man Starwalt voting nay, Ma,yor Liebl voting aye, Counci7man Utter voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried four to one. {NOTE:.

DISCUSSION REGARDING REPORT FROM CITY MANA�ER ON NATURALIST'S JOB DESCRIPTION AND PRELIMINARY BUUGET FOR NATURE INTERPRETIVE P GR F R 97 : Mayor Liebl referred to the list of 14 duties and responsibilities and stressed . an individual should be sought who will create and enhance this kind of educational value of the position. Councilman Nee said he thought the matter of the budget for the creation of this type of program should be looked into. He said the budgeted amount is suggested at $40,000 and in light of the concerns for the continuing maintenance cost of the program, this should be defined. Councilman Nee said he was unable to determine from the information he had that this had ever been done before, He said he wou7d like to know if a nature interpretive director had ever been hired without a base, to conduct a program throughout a City, He said he would like an Administration report on whether or not this had been done before. He continued, the program suggested, hiring a naturalist divorced from a base, was suggested in the Brauer report. He repeated he would like some report on what the City would be spending the $40,000 per year for. He said, generally he is in favor of the proposal, but would like further information on it. Councilman Nee suggested refe�ring the matter to the City's Environmental C�uality Commission for their research and recommendations, He felt this was their area and concern, and this would be the advisory body for this type of operation. Mayor Lieb1 said the City was to initiate a new program with a new concept. He stated they had been provided information from the City Manager from all over the State. Councilman Nee said he had no objection to the proposal, he.wouid like to see additional information on paper on what has been done and how much it has cost. Councilman Breider said he was in a little bit of a quandry about the kind of program this would be. He said the program would vary from individual to individual. He thought the individual would have to be hired before the program could be established. He added, the naturalist would have to propose the program. Councilman Nee said he could see what would happen if a base for the naturalist had been provided, but he did not know what would happen if there was no base or display area. He said in this case, he could not see what the program is and could not justify the $40,000 budget amount. He said he would like some idea or discussion to prove the amount is properly budgeted. • � �� �4 , ' . ' ' � ' � Councilman Nee said another of his concerns would be that many other bodies, the School Districts and the County had expressed an interest in the support of a nature interpretive program. Ne suggested the County be contacted and determine if they would be interested in sponsoring such a naturalist which wou7d use the City Hall for his office or base of operation. He said this type of program could allow the use of County land and • interpretation of all of the County facilities. _�J Councilman Nee said within a few days, Anoka County would have the power to obtain a few million dollars for this kind of program. He repeated he thouqht the City of Fridley should contact them on this point, .He repeated he thought the City of Fridley ,should contact them on this point, Councilman Nee said he would take on this project if the Council so desired. Mayor Liebl said he thought the money to be obtained by the County was for the installation of a 5,000 acre nature center for the entire County, not for the City of Fridiey. Councilman Nee said this was correct, bu;-, the staffing of this nature interpretive ^ program could be based in the Fridley City area. He recalled there were plans for the , - ' ' � ,• � ' u ' � - � _J 67� PUBIIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1974 PAGE 11 , installation of a youth center in the Bunker Park. He said this would be a possible base for the naturalist. He said the City was not aware of the plans of the County ' at ail on this program. Councilman Nee pointed out that the other School Qistrict ' which had expressed interest would be within the County jur�sdict�on and would be � i partially out of Fridley. He said this may be a better proposal for the County than the City. He repeated his suggestion that the County be contacted for the hiring of a naturalist which could be housed in City Hall. Councilman Utter said it would be possible for the County to provide a space for the ' - naturalist in the new Fridley located County Library. He said this type of activity could be incorporated with the establishment of a small museum, a wild life display ' and many other possibilities. He said he thought this to be the most logical place for this type of activity if it was Gounty sponsored. C� , ' J � � � , , J , ' � Councilman Starwalt said he had not known what Councilman Nee intended to propose. He said he had received many phone calls regard�ng this item the iast few weeks. Councilman Starwalt said he would propose that the City change the proposed amount to $20,000, but limit the prop�sed program to just a six month program during the sumner months. Ne said a graduate student could be utilized for this purpose of time to develop the program. Counciiman Breider said he thought the concept and proposal by Councilman Nee was a good one. Councilman Breider said the only problem with this thought is that they were talking about a golf course. He believed the golf course site could be used for many activities all the year around. He mentioned that there could be cross county skiing in the winter months along with snowshoing. Ne said this is what the naturalist would be needed for and this would be needed the year around. He said the City �vould not be ab�e to obtain this sort of aid in the program if the position were only available for the summer months. Councilman Breider said the naturalist could move into the construction as a base for the winter months. He believed if this facility was to be used the year around, the naturalist shou7d be included in the planning of the faci7ity. He stated the property would have to be used for more than one activity. As a bare minimum, he thought the City shou]d hire one person for the remainder of the year. 7he City Manager said he had laid out a71 of the information available from the Twin Cities and State. He said the City of Fridley had not found any program like Councilman Nee is indicating. He said the City of Fridley would be starting a new concept. He explained the Council had indicated they wanted him to prepare a job description, and he thought this would not be complete without some indication on the money involved in the program. Ne said some travel costs had been indicated. The City Manager said there are just a few agencies which have any dea7ings with the naturalist's type of position and a very few areas in the vicinity which employ naiuralists. He listed the various communities with this type of program and said the State has a manager for the nature interpretive program, but he is not a fuli fledged naturalist. Counc9lman Nee said all of the area naturalists have a base to work from. He added, the City of Fridley is talking about a natura7ist with no base or a defused base. Counci7man Breider said he felt items number nine and ten on the agenda would have to be combined and discussed togeiher if the proposal for combining the two programs were ta be followed. Mayor Liebl said he would like the City's FinanciaT Consultant, Eh7er's and Associates, to present their report. Mr. Seegar Swanson from �hler's and Associates addressed the Council. Mr. Swanson referred to a letter from the Consultant firm of Ehler's and flssociates which was dated February 11, 1974 and advised the Council that the City of Fridley could issue Gross Revenue Bonds for a golf course and there are some limitations and things they wished to point out that would need some understanding. He said the City of Fridley would have to make a p]edge to the bond purchaser that the principal and interest would be paid before any money is put into the maintenance and expenses of the project. Tbe firm had made a reasonable projection of the revenue the golf course would produce and this would be enough revenue to meet the debt service. Mr. Swanson said the area had been studied for the indication of the rounds of golf per year which could be expected and the Board of Underwriters would need this information for their review. He said it had been determined as a conservative estimate that the course would need 40,000 rounds of golf per year or there would have to be a foursome .: PUBLI.0 HEARING MEETING OF FESRUARY 11, 1974 PAGE 12 starting every 10 minutes during; the season to finance the bonds. He said this was based on the course being inoperation from April 15 to October 15 of each year. He sa.id this would also include a study of the rain fall records for this area and the proper season. He pointed out there was some variation in the amount of fees charged and this may be from $3.75 per round to $4.75 per round in this area. He said if there are other rates such as single rates or youth rates, this would have to be determined by the course manager, He said the rate of $4.25 had been used in their figures. Ne saia tnis would provide a total of $170,000 annually for golfing fees. He said they had fiqured the amount of $15,000 per year for the rental of golf carts, the operation of a restaurant, sale of refreshments, pro shop proceeds, skiing, snowmobiling, and snow shoing. He said this would bring the total revenue up to $185,000 per year. He said maintanance costs would probabiy range from $75,0�0 to $80,0�0 per year and this would bring the remaining sum to about $98,000. He said the amount of $90,�00 per year would be required for the debt payment. He explained, this would determine the amount of money the City could borrow, the current rate of interest is 6z%. He said there would be a 3% discount and the City should not enter into this beyond 20 years. Mr. Savanson stated with the yearly revenue produced at $90,000, it would be possible f�r the City of Fridley to obtain $950,000 in gross revenue bonds at 62% interest for this time period. Mr. Swanson continued his explanation of the report referring to page three of the letter previously mentioned. Ne said wi�h the tatal of the Bond Issue to be $950,000, less the bond discount of �28,500, two years` capitalized interest at $123,500, one year's debt reserve at $80,000 and the finance and legal fees at $15,000, for a total c�st of $247,000 plus the earned interest (1 year at 6%), this would leave the total available for construction, construction fees, and start up costs at $758,000. He said this had been the preliminary estimate in the Brauer Report. Mr. Swanson advised the Council that they were not to borrow the money too far in advance and he would sugq�st not more.than six months before the major contract. Mr. Swanson exp7ained some of the reasons for this not being done too far in advance and cited the example to enable the cash flow projections to be determined. He said if the bids on the contract are not what they are expected to be and they are all rejected, there would be problems if the bids were not opened before the bond bids. Ne said the bids should be opened before the bond bids, and this would be legal to enable the cash flow projections to be seen. Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Swanson if the figures he had used could be called liberal or conservative. Mr. Swanson said he was saying certainly, this amount of money would not be any problem in marketing this many honds. Mayor Liebl said he thought the $15,000 figure for the annual revenue for the added activities at the golf course was very conservative. Mr. Swanson said he too, thought this was a conservative figure, but he would noi want to base the figures on a high estirnate and not have the high amount reached. He said if it is determined an adjustment in the figures should be made, this woulU be done. Mayor Liebl asked Mr, Swanson if $50,000 could be obtained from the operation of the restaurant. Mr. Swanson said this would be very liberal. Cauncilman Nee asked if it would be a normal situation for sane market research on this type of project before it is done. Ne said he had a feeling that there is not the demand for this type of facility. Ne questioned if there is anyone who has done market research in this field. Mr. Swanson said the report indicates there is potential in this area. He said in order to complete the study prior to selling the revenue bonds, some data would be gathered from the bond underwriters. He said this group would have access to consumer � ' type of market research, and this would determine their bids on the bonds. Ne stated, there would be a professional opinion, He commented, there would not be anyone who would put $950,000 behind a project of this type if it was not guaranteed. He said in this case, the return is not guaranteed by tax dollars. He explained, there is only a tax pledge if the total is insufficient to pay the debt and the principal and interest must be paid first before any maintenance and operational costs. He repeated,�the debt service must be paid first and the City of Fridley would make a pledge not to abandon this project and to continue the revenue producing facility there. � �;� , � , � � ' � _ � r � � � ' , r � � � , � � 4j� �) iJ � ���I �.J � C� � �� � , � ' � PUBLIC NEARING.MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1974 MOTION by Councilman Utter to receive the report from EhTer's ar�d Associates on the Gross Revenue Bonds for the construction of the golf course. Seconded by Councilman Nee. Upon a voice vote; al] voting aye, Mayor Lieb7 declared the motion carried unanimously, Mayor Liebl asked the members of the Council if they were ready to instruct the City Manager to hire an arch�tect. Councilman Breider said he had indicated he would not ' be in favor of hiring a golf course architect until the City had hired a naturalist. ! He said he had definite goals for North Park and the two would have to go hand in hand with the planning of the facility. MOTION by Councilman Breider to instruct the City Manager to hire a naturaiist to review a11 possibilities to the plan on the North Park site in conjunction wi�h the golf course architect to create ail possible uses at the one facility and, at the same time, hire a golf course architect to prepare a preliminary plan oniy, and report back to.the Council with the preliminary plans when they are completed. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Councilman Nee said several of the consulting firms have a naturalist on their staff. He questioned if the City should use the consultant's man. Councilman Utter said he thought the City of Fridley wou]d want their own man on staff. Mr. Paul Brown, Director of Parks and Recreation, addressed the Counci.l and said the County should be contacted for some financial assistance in the project. He said this would apply to both programs. He mentioned the County had given such assistance to other communities in the County. Mayor Liebl stated the County had helped Coon Rapids. Mr. Brown continued, they are laoking for some input into this project. He said he thought it would behoove the City to go in this direction. Mr. Charles Seegar, 324 Ironton, addressed the Council and questioned the estimate that was made by the Financia] Consultant. He asked what would happen if the estimate were off a few golfers every ten minutes. What legal right would a citizen have for raising cane with the Financial Consuitant in a faulty estimate. Mr. Swanson addressed the Council and responded to the question by Mr. Seegar. Ne said the figure of 40,000 rounds per year was used to plan the finances of the golf course. Ne said there may be as many as 50,000 rounds because there may be more sunshine at times. Ne continued explaining there are a number of variables, but the finances cannot be planned on the finest possible conditions, they would have to be restricted to cover the possibility of storms and other factors. He said the second part of Mr. Seegar's quest9on could be best answered by the City Attorney. The City Rttorney said any group such as this consultant which would be doing work for the City would be covered by errors and ommissions coverage. Mayor l.iebl asked Mr, Swanson if this was a reasonable projection. Mr. Swanson said the firm had to be conservative in the estimates. He said they had been involved with two other communiiies and the planning of their golf courses. He explained the limit placed on gross revenue bonds and said the City would have to be very conservative in marketing the bonds for $950,000, Mrs. Pat Brennen said she resided in Coun�i7man Breider's Ward and she appreciated his position, trying to be nice to everyone. She sai•d she found this to be ludicrous, and that a proposing that a natural interpretive director would be working on a goif course where there would be no nature left, was also ludicrous. She questioned what had happened to the request to the Metro Airport Commission for the use of Janes Field for a golf course. ' Councilman Nee said a Subcommittee of the Metro Airport Co�nission had reached the decision to reco�nend to the Commission approval of the request if the City of Fridley wants the site, but that this would be site nurnber two. He said at the same time, they had said ihey would rather not release site number one. He said the Subcommittee had said the City of Fridley could presume site number two to be available. He explained this site wou]d be on the southwest corner of the property. • , ; Councilman Utter said he knew a member of tha Com��ission who had told him he would contact him if the Commission had taken any action on the matter and he not heard from him. � 7� PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1974 PAGE 14 Ms. Pat Brennen addressed the Council and questioned them on how they would expect a naturalist to work without a base of operation. She stated an office and staff and paper products do not form a nature interpretive program. Councilman Starwalt asked if the Metropolitan Airport Corr�nission cauld be contacted and if normal correspondence has been delayed for some reason, this should be determined. He said he would like to obtain the information on the decision if the decision has been made. Councilman Nee said the staff at the Commission did not want to indicate whether or not there was approval of the request until the fuil Corr�nission took some action on the matter. He said after this, the City would be receiving a formal response to the request made by the City of Fridley. Ne said to this point, only formal action has been taken by the Subcommittee. Councilman Starwalt asked if the City could request a formal interim report on the request. The City Manager stated the Council had requested him to prepare a job description for a naturalist and he had done this along with preparing a proposed budget for the program. He said he had also prepared additional data in this area. He said if he would put himself in the position of the applicant for this position, then he would question the amount of security in this position. He said what the applicant would be expected to do is not fully defined. He questioned if this tiaould be a continuous program, would it last three months, six months or would the program be continuous or permanent. He asked if he �vas to emphasize the kind of idea Councilman Breider had expressed for the planning of the golf course site with the architect. Ne said he would have to have the description of the program defined more thoroughly before he would be able to find the right kind of applicant. He questioned if the funding was to be obtained from the City or the County. He stated there wauld have to be some kind of budget. He said he needed more direction from the Council before he could try to find the right applicant. Councilman Starwalt said he is not sure that the people of Fridley want a full fledged natura7ist at this time. He repeated he thought the Council should proceed on a interim temporary basis for both positions. Councilman Starwalt questioned the feasibility of hiring a naturalist on a consultant basis such as Mr. Brauer had been hired. Councilman Breider said P4r. Brauer had obtained the services of two well known naturalists in his report to the City of Fridley, but where would the CIty find men that would be ab1e and willing to devote four months on a consultant basis to the Gity. Mr. Brauer addressed the Council stating the ]ast thing the City of Fridley would need is a naturalist on the consulting basis. He sited an example to i7lustrate the importance of starting a good team for the nature interpretive program by hiring a good manager. He also stated the importance of obtaining someone permanent who would have a commitment to the City of Fridley, not a commitment to his next job. He said t��e City of Fridley would need a good person, or the best person for the job. He said the City would need a community program, and put the emphasis of that program where it counts. MOTION by Councilman Nee to table any action on the matter. Mayor Liebl declared the motion DEAD FOR LACK OF A SECOND. UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE on the motion ta hire a naturalist and an architect to prepare preliminary plans for the golf course, Councilman Utter voting aye, Council- man Nee voting nay, Councilman Breider voting aye, Councilman Starwalt voting aye, Mayor Liebl voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried four to one. Councilman Breider suggested a poll of the Council to determine if there would be some choice 1n the selection of the architect tfiat would do the preliminary planning of the golf course, He added, it wou7d not be fair to ask the men to return to another meeting for discussion on the matter if the Council had already reached a decision. Councilman Breider said he had looked at the list of architects and their work which had been submitted to the Council in their agenda, and he had determined that there was one who would be most qualified and would not have to hire any Subcontractors during the construction of the facil�ty, He said Brauer and Associates had been a� part of the community planning and he thought this would be an asset in the planning � ;� � � � �II � � � , . _ , � r ' ' , � ' ' ' � � , � � � � ' �I � r-� � �i I', � �! � � `., 71 PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY ]1, 1974 PAGE 15 of th� facility. He said he thought this would be better than hiring someone who had never taken pari in the subject to this point. Councilman Breider said he would be more than confident in hiring Mr. Brauer for the initial work on the plan. Ne said Mr, 8rauer a�ouid be equiped to do the whole job for the City. Mayor Liebl said he was not in the position to hire the architect at the present meeting, Councilman Breider said he would like the Council polled rather than bring the matter back. He stated he thought this a�ould be a waste of people's time if they had to return. Counciiman Utter said he thought the work done by Mr. Brauer was good. He stressed in this proposal, the entire job could be done by one firm. Councilman Starwalt said he believed the data presented by Brauer and Associates was tremendous. Councilman Starwalt questioned if there was anyone opposed to Brauer and Associates preparing the preliminary plans and there was no response, Councilman Breider again stressed ihe importance of one firm doing the whoie project. Councilman Starwalt recalled when Mr. 8rauer had been selected to do the initia7 report, he had been questioned abo�at the possibility of participating in the construction. Councilman Starwalt said he respected Mr. Brauer's honesty when he said.he certainly hoped to. Councilman Breider said he had thought Mr, Brauer's remark was stronger than this. MOTION by Councilman Breider to ask the City Manager to hire and work with Brauer and Associates in preparing a preliminary plan for the golf course and with the hope that the naturalist wouid be hired promptly to aid in the planning. Seconded by Councilman Utter. �pon a voice vote, Councilman Breider, Councilman Starwalt, Mayor Liebl, and Counci]man Utter voting aye, and Counci]man Nee voting nay, Mayor Liebl declared the motioh carried four to one. Councilman Breider said he would not want a naturalist hired because he was inexpensive, he would want him hired because he is good. 7he City Manager asked if the budgeted amount for the salary of the naturalist shouid be changed from the $12,000 to $16,000 per year, Cauncilman Breider said he would not want to pin any restrictions on the possible acquisition of a naturalist because of salary restrict�ons. He said he did not want to place a dol7ar figure on this. The City Manager said he would have to have some kind of range to work from. Mayor Liebl directed the City Manager to use the range of from $10,000 to $76,000.

(REQULS'I' BY AL �EIS, 255-94TI1 AVEi;UE N.t'1., COOiV RAPIDS, AtI\NESOTa) Mr.� Al Zei.s was present for the request. � Jerry Boardman brought forward the plans and stated he had discussed these with bir. Zeis. He also said that this Board had approved the location and ground level permit for these buildings at the December 13, 1973 meeting. Mr. Zeis was supposedto bring in for this meeting a parking plan, landscape plan and side el.evations. hir. Lindblad said that the landscape plan noted the type of trees, size and location. A4r. Boardman went over the landscapi.ng plan. He noteci the change to evergreens around the door entrances and added some more trees could be planted along t?�ese areas. He asked I�ir. Zeis if he agreed on this plan, AZr. Zeis said yes. � Mr. Tonco asked if there was something the City could do to control the development in order to make sure it is eompleted. D4r. Boardman said the only hold the City has is a bond on the landscaping. It has no.hold over the completion of the buildings or blacktopping. If Afr. Zeis cannot £easibly finish the other thr.ee buildings, the City �.�ould.re- quest a completion of landscaping ta finish off the areas where the blacktopping and thr.ee buildings should have been. A1r. �3oardn�an suggested they stipulate that if a£ter. two years (1-1-76), and the project cannot be completed, D9r. Zeis would come before this I3oard again with a final landscaping plan. The Board agreed to this stipulation. The Board asked about the parking plan, �ir. Zeis said what was shown on the plan was the one they would use. Some stalls had been changed, but his mortgage company insists the parking be allo���ed for each building location and tllat he get an easement for the parking wliicli would state ttlat when or if each Uuilding is sold separately, the buildings would share all of the exits and parking spaces. This easement woulcl prevent any one building owner fro�a� not allowiiig the others to use a certain cxit or parking area. lle said he realized this taas an uizusual requcst by his mortgage.company and his lawyer will 1�e dr.iwing up the easements. � � i � � � 3A BUILDING STANDARDS-UESIGN CONTROL SUBCOAIDIITTEE I�1�ETING OP JANUARY 31, 1974-PG. 2 h1r. L�oardman said the City does not need this easemen�, but is a private situation. b1r. Zeis said t}7e City of Fridley would not be involved at all other than requesting it Ue done. D9r. Tonco asked if the parking was adec�uate. T9r. Boardman said for titi�hat the entire development shows there is enough. Hoivever, i�1r. Zeis must provide the rec{uired parkiiig �aith the development of his first two buildings (44 stalls) according to the existing plan layout. The Board decided ro make this a stipulation. D4r. Tonco asked�about the side elevations. D�r. Boardman said he had gone over t}ie plans with r1r. Zeis. He also said . they will be eliminating ce'rtain columns as shown on.the plan and brick will be used to "wrap" all corners on all bui]dings. • The front elevations �aill be alternating areas of break-off block panels, brick panels and 8" squaxe block panels, in earth colors. 'The side elevations will be using the same material and design. The loading dock areas ��ill be ' . constructed of running.bond block. DIr. Boardman felt this design.�oould give the,buildings and entire development the design break-up needed to make an attrac�ive commercial area. A4r. Tonco asked if the pilasters will be protruding from the surface of the buildi.ng or if they are flush �vith tlie roof flashing. b1r. Zeis said they will be protruding approximately 3 to 4 inches. i�ir. Tonco pointed out that - the plans did not show the pilaster protruding, and stipulated they should be shown as such on the plans. � The Board in a general discussion �aent over the indaor facilities and set up. Mr. Boardman asked A4r. Zeis if he had given the City the easement fqr the alley, b4r. Zeis said yes. MOTTON by Tonco, seconded by Simoneau to recommend to Counci� the approval of the buildings according to the plans as presented this evening�and as stipu- lated as follo�as: 1. Mr. Zeis get easements drawn up as reQuested by his mortgage company for the parking. . 2. Shrubs around the front door entrances be changed to evergreens and� quantity� increased. � � 3.

Mr. Reese said he ti,�ould be giving a brief discussion as he knew no decision would be made this evening. ti He said residential housing will be facing 63rd Avenue, 7th Street and • Mississippi Stre.et. A�ine was drawn through the area to keep the natural buffer striZ� between the R-1 zone and the multiple d�aelling zone. T.he com- plex will contain 144 units, have 2 entrances off of Sth Street, outside parking and 2 garages (enough parking will be provided here for each unit) will be provided. Mr. Reese said they are working with the architect firm Anoka Couiity has hired for the new library. They are proposing a somewhat modern design made from �ahite stucco. i�Sr.. Reese said they are proposing a design with a I�lediterranean design. The wall material �aill be white stucco alternating with brown stained wood panels. The �ront entxance doors and combination living room tiaindo�as �ti�ill be overhung tiaith adulated mission tiles as well as the garages. The front doors are of a heavy wood construction. � T}iere.taill be a somewhat private gxeen area in front of the building. 'This green area will be depressed with berming along 5th S�reet and on the side of the apartmen�, the 2 garages will make up the sides. Located here will be a swimming pool., recreation area and putting green. The area '�ehind the apar�ment will have a pond approximately 200 feet across. Natural trees will be left and some more wi11 be planted for fill-in. This area can be used. as a picnic area. rir. Keese said tlle County �aill have to remove some large txees and ti�'all Corporation thotzght t}iey might be able to replant, these trecs. He also saicl t}18j� pl�Il to �lant full size trees in order to provide a buff.er between the R-1 zone and this complex. '. � , b1r. Reese went over the ttao types of apartments to be built. One will be ' a onc bedroonr stuclio. This will be somewhzt on the same order as an efficiency apartment but �vill }iave different areas blocked off. Thcre will be approxi- mately 72 ui�its of this ty��e. The other 72 units will b e a one bedroom plus den.

Reese said this is not a child orientated complex, but more for singles or chi.tiless couples.. Mr. Reese said the garages �vould have the same design as the complex, ' white stucco and missioil tiles. Also, a sign will be located on 5th Street directly off of 64t}i Avenue. ' ' ' � ' ' � I� J ' ' , , � ! �� � ' hir. Reese asked if there are any o,uestio�ls. Mr. Simoneau as}ced if they would be developing the R-1 area. Mr. Dante said they had discussed this witll t}ie City and since t}iey (ti�1a11 Corporation) are not a residential builder, they would like to sell the land to one developer. This would insure a n,ore contxolled effect- on the construction and not a pi�ece-- meal effect. A1r. llante said he does have some interested parties. D4r. Simoneau also asked ti�that would be done to a large cluster of oak trees. He said Senior Reidel had told him that these trees were full grotan when he was a boy, around 1912. A4r. Simoneau thought it would b e a shame to waste these trees. �4r. Dante said these tr.ees are on the County property, but-that he would not take them out. Air. Reese said they will be weeding a few unhealthy trees, also removing a retaining wall and some buildings. A general discussion follo���ed about the renting and use of the complex. Mr. Boardman said }1e r�finitely wants cross sections through the entire property brought in for the February 7, 1974 meeting. MOTION by Simoneau, seconded by Treuenfels to table this item until the joint meeting of Boaxd of Appeals and this Board on February 7, 1974. UPON l� VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Boardman asked the Board members if they wanted the background infor- mation onthe lVall Corporation (stipulations, agreements, minutes of c.ommittees) by the February 7th meeting.

Boardman said he had talked to another Board member of the church wlio said the plan sho�an here is not what is actually there. . D4r. Tonco asked� if this would be a financial hardship for the church to put concrete curbing around the entire blacktopped area. Mr. Hallblade felt it could be done no�v. i�ir. Tonco asked if the church expected any type of future expansion. D4r. Hallblade said the only possihility would be making tlie sanctuaxy larger. � � . A4r. Boardman asked if Mr. Hallblade felt the church could at present financially place the curbing now if the Board stipulated or if they would need an approximate two year period, especially if they planned any type of expansioi3, rlr. iiallblade said he had talked to the Pastor who said zt would be ideal to have it curbed. The Board stipulated that the church be given an option; either to do the curbing now is they so desire or h ave two years (2-1-76) to complete the curUing, at tiahich time, if still unfeasible, the church would go before the Board of Appeals for a variance on the curbing. Mr. Hallblade said the addition woulcl be matching Luick. The Board asked if the structure wall tiacul.d be able to hold this weight. T1r. Hallblade said he was not sure. The Board stipulated that if the structure is unable to hold this type of construction, the wall can b e ch�.nged, but the Board would like �Co see it done this way. Mr. Lindblad asked if there would be any wood on the exterior. rir. Hallblade said no, it will be constructed of brick and follow the same design as the present sturcture. . � T'he L�oard briefly discussed the facilities for the handicapped.

Boardman presented the request on their Uehalf. bir. Boardmaii felt there would be no problem with the addition of the remote teller and canopy. The design and material would match those of the present stru- ture. All curbing, blacktopping and landscapi_ng has been completed. Mr. Boardman thought that painted arrows should be placed so that the traffic will have a smooth flow. The Board agreed on this. . Mrs. Treuenfels felt there might be a problem with the parking.in the area of the new structure. Mr. Boardman suggested eliminating the three parking stalls that run parallel to the structure. D4r. Lindblad concurred with this suggestion pointing out that in �Che winter time the cars would not be able to snug up to the curb, due to the snow, as they should. This could cause some conjection here. Mr. Lindblad also questioned the clearance height of the structure. The plan shows 11 feet of clearance. He thought that perhaps the Board could suggest to the bank to look into the liability if someone, i.e. who tsied to go through with a 12 foot camper, and caused vehicle and canopy damage. He thought perhaps the clearance should be marked. This was only a suggestion for the b ank 'to look into. M�TION by. Tonco, seconded by Simoneau, to recommend to Council approval of the structure with the following stipulations: 1. Painted arrows be placed to show a traffic flow pattern. 2. Look into the suggestion of eliminating the three parking stalls that run parallel to the new structure. 3. Look into the suggestion of liability if canopy clearance is not marked.

George Kiefer were present for the reques t. Mr, Reese sai.d the development will include 23 residential lots, outdoor parking, two garages, recreation and picr�ic area, drainage pond and a 144 unit apartment�complex. The picnic area will keep many of the natural clusters of trees. Mr. Arvil r4iller, 525 Bennett Drive, spoke up from the audience and asked where ' the woods development would be. A9r. Reese pointed out that it would be to the north of the complex. Mr. Miller said there �ere no trees there_. D1r. Reese said yes there are some trees here and additional planting would be done. 1 ' ' � � ' A4r. Reese �rent on to the drainage plan. He said the flow from 5th St�et and 63rd Avenue will be picked up off of 63rd, drain down into a 12 acre foot drainage pond, from there any overflow will be taken throlxgh a pipe to 7th Street and Bennett Drive area and into the present storm sewer system. He said the 12 acre foot pond will allow for a one in a hundred years flood and also a one in.a tiei� year flood frequency. Mr. Tonco asked how much water this pond would hold. Mr. Reese aaid they have left it at its natural level. b4r. Tonco also asked about the care of the pond and how they would maintain a certain depth level. He said that 1Uall Corporation had said at a previous meeting that they �aould maintain a certain level in the pond. He also pointed out that during the dry season the level will fall somewhat lower and asked if they would use the City water during these dry periods to maintain this level. Also if there was some possibility of having a private well. Mr. Reese said this was true, but since the natural level was determined before, it will lie around 839 to 841 feet. They feel that the pond would keep its own natural level. They would not use City water for keeping this pond at a certain level, but rather drainage from rain and water would do so. .Mr. Tonco asked if they would be using the drainage for watering purposes and � not use City water. Mr. Reese said this had been discussed with th e City, and in particular with the City Attorney, and it was everyones opinion that the City could not restrict this on one complex and not the others in the City. . , Mr. Tonco said it was not a restriction but rather a suggestion. ' Mr. Reese said it was felt the pond would maintain its own level and they would not have to use City water. Also an aerator will b e supplied on the south end of the ponds to circulate the water in order to keep it clean and fresh. ' ' ' T9r. Reese went over the parking. He said they have supplied 152 stalls inside the garages and 76 stalls outside, or a total of 228 stalls. Mr. Boardman said that 252 stalls are required for a�complex this size, but this will be taken up with the Board of Appeals. l�ir. Lindblad asked if these 228 stalls would be in a percentage , ' , C� l _I � �I 'BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOMMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1974-PG. 3 ratio that would be needed for each unit, considering the numb er of persons per unit and accounting for visitors. Mr. Dante said for the type of renter they will have,in the complex, they feel it will b e adequate. tiVa11 Corporation feels it is more important to have the added indoor parking then the extra outdoor parking as required. However, he did say if they are wrong on their assumption of parking needs, they would want to add the needed parking. It is only an advantage to them to have plenty of parking. Ntx. Dante said I.5 stall per unit would be required for the efficiency apartments and if they have to put more in th ey will have to take space from the private green area in front. , hir. Reese went on to say the garages will be approximately 100 feet off of 5th Street and the top of the garages will be level with 5th Street. Mr. Arvi1 b4iller asked about the ponding area. He said he had tried to keep up with the development of this area and noted th at th e pond was different then what was originally planned. Mr. Dante said the change was due to the fact that the original plan was ' . designed for a 155 unit townhouse development. Their (Wall) engineers and the City Engineering"Department have gone over the plans and decided what the new plan caZled for a�nd had it drawn accordingly. ' ' ' � , LJ Mr, hiiller said he did not understand the idea of the drainage pond. When he bought his land in Fridley and paid for his share of the storm sewer, which he did not mind, he was told a storm sewer system was needed. Now Wall Corporation comes in takes this land does not have to put in a storm sewer system but just a drainage pond. He also said Columbia Heights put in a drainage pond artd it did not work, a small girl drawn d�it and they ended up blocking it off. Mx. Dante said the City requested the drainage pond. He said this pond is costing the Wall Corporation moxe money than what a storm sewer system would b ecause in a storm sewer system the cost would be passed onto the residents of Fridley whose storm water could flow into it. In the case of the drainage pond, only Wa21 is being charged entirely for the development of the pond. Mr. Boardman said a new storm sewer system would affect all of the residents around the development and those north to Rice Creek• b4r. Miller said he realizes this but the property was let go because the property owners did not want to pay the assessments and now Wall Corporation picked up the property and will be using the present stoxm sewer system without paying for it. , h1r. Lindblaci said this Board does not have the background or the mechanical details on the drainage pond, but felt Mr. Aliller should talk to the City Engineer and City Fathers if he has any further questions. He also said this will be a holding pond to catch the sudden large amounts of water, hold it and gradually let ' it go down the storm sewer. This will prevent a sudden flood through the siorm sewer system and cause damage. ' Mr. Dante felt he should talk to the City Engineer on this plan, as this is what the City is requesting and i�. is costing the Wall Corporation more money in every aspect. ' � ' ' � � ' ' u ' � � � ' BUTLDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCONIMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1974-PG. 4 Mr. Boardman said there is a stipulation on the Wa11 Corporation stating if in the future a larger storm sewer system is needed, they will be assessed their fair share of the cost. Mr. D4iller said he then would be paying tcaice for the same type of gystem. Mr. Boardman said it must be remembered that not all of the water in this area is from Wall Corporation, but also comes off of 5th and 7th Street. Mr. Lindblad said there is nothing this Board can do about the cost, assess- ments or design of a system for this area. He appreciates Mr. Miller's point of view b ut felt it should be taken up with the appropriate City staff inemb ers. Mr. Reese presented a plan showing a cross section do�vn the middle from 5th Street to 7th Street or west to east. Starting at Sth Street there is an area of 100 feet, goes do'=�n to the private recreation area, (surrounded by the garages) comes up to the apartment complex, levels off to the elevation of 841.5 feet for the pond and comes up again with a 120 foot stretch for the R-1 lots. Mr. Miller asked for a north-south section. Mr. Reese said he did not have one, but said it would be fairly level. Drop gradually to the pond off of the lots on Mississippi Street and up�again to the lots on 63rd Avenue. Also trees will b e planted in this area between the two zones for a buffer strip. All of the R-1 bacic lots will drain into the pond. Mr. Miller asked if the single family homes are still being pianned for. Mr. Reese said most definitely, that phase of the development is a very important part of the total development. . Mr. Dante said part of the agreement with the City is to have this area platted with 23 R-1 lots, the libxary and their complex. Mr. Miller asked who would be building the residentail homes. r4r. Dante said they do not build single family dwellings but would like to sell the Iand to one developer in order to insure a con�rol on the building of these homes. He said he did have some interested parties. ' Mr. Miller said he did not realize there would be a 120 foot resident�ial stretch between 7th Street, r4ississippi Street and 63rd Avenue before you get to their complex. This was why he was questioning the pond earlier. ' Mr. Reese went over the exterior of the building. He said it would have a Mediterranean design, white stucco walls with Urown stained wood panels around the living room windows. The bedroom windows will be surrounded by white stucco. The ' roo� and canopy over the firingroom windows will be a terracotta red tile. The front doors will protr�ade out from the main building and will have a heavy carved wood de is gn . • _ '� CJ ' ' b1r. Lindblad asked if they would consider using an egg shell color for the exterior walls instead oi a stark white. This would keep the exterior fxom showing an y rust stains from the City water which may splash on the building. b1r. Reese said this was a good suggestion as dust will be splashed up onto the walls from rain and watering. He said they had not really decided on th at yet, but would consider it very much. � iJ L ' ' , � ' ' ' ' IJ r ' B UILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOI�fMITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1974-PG. S Mr. Reese went over the inside o£ the complex. The front entrance will be a large spacious lobby_; .a stairway, elevator and mailboxes will be located here. Mr. R eese said the elevator will be large to handle large pieces of furnituxe. A recreation room will be on one level with a card room directly above it. These rooms can be rented out for private party use. Laundry rooms are provided on each floor. A storage area will be provided for each unit. A locker, 10 feet wide, 4 feet high and 4 feet deep will be situated ab ove each assigned p arking space in the garages. Also there will be one Iarge storage room on the 3rd level and 2 smaller storage rooms on the lst and 2nd levels. Large closets are supplied in each unit. Eaeh unit will have its own control over the heat, air-conditioning and veni�ilation. The apartment will have 3 designs for the units. 1, Studio - sleeping area, living room, kitch en and eating area, and b athroom, approximately 440 square feet. 2. One Bedroom Plus Den - master bedroom, living room, kitchen, bathroom and a room �ahich can be used as a off as a 2nd bedroom, approximately 840 square feet. dining area, den or partioned 3. One Bedroom - same as number 2, but without the den/bedroom area. No plan was.shown for this unit. Mrs. Treuenfels felt that the units were small in size, especially if a renter has guests in. Mr. Dante said this was the reason for a party room. Mrs. Treuenfels felt that since these were such small sized units that so many of them would not Ue needed, Mr. Dante said they have had s�udies done and l b edroom apartments are just not going as they use to. They feel the studio and 1 bedroom plus den will work much better. A variance will be needed on the number of efficiency units allowed in the complex. � Mr. Reese said the windows will be double paned for b etter insulation, a vapor barrier and to conserve on energy. Mrs. Treuenfels felt the one window in the living room and one in the bedroom was not enough, It was her opinion th at the unit would be dark and dingy. Mr. Reese explained the window area meets the rec{uirements of ' the City code and that NSP does not really favor any larger window areas, in view of the energy crisis. ' , , ' ' Mrs. Treuenfels felt th at more windows and larger units would be much better. Mr. Lindblad pointed out that an apartment for most dwellers is not the same as the home th at she was used to, it is more or less sleeping quaxters. Mr. Lindblad asked about tlle garage. Mr. Reese said it will be constructed of the same type of material as the complex. r1r. Lindblad asked if they would be doing something to the roof so the tenants on the 2nd and 3rd floors do not have to look at a black tar pitch roof. Mr. Dante said they are looking into a red gravel of some type. Dtr. Boardman asked if this top would have texture as w ell as design and celor. b9r. R�se said it will be like red crushed rocks or gravel. � � �BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCOrM�IITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1974-PG. 6 Mrs. Treuenfels asked about the width of the stalls. Afr. Reese said they are ' 10 x 20 feet. He also said the c3riveways will be within the development for more coritrol on them, and the 2 sides facing the north and south will have 2 overhung garage doors. The garages will have a middle dividing wall. � � ' , , � ' , ' ' I� , ' � I � , ' ' Mr. Boardman asked about an exit and entrance door for the people for the garages. hir. Reese said they will be adding a couple of feet to allow for such doors. Also 2 fire doors will be placed in the middle wall to allow walk through access from one side of the garage to another. Mr. Tonco pointed out the use of 1/2" size plywood and questioned if they would b e using this. A4r. llante and Mr. Reese both said they thought they would be, but what material is available might make the difference. r4r. Dante felt S/8" would b e better. I�1r. Boardman said the Building Inspection Department would be looking into this. A4r. Lindblad asked if there would b e air vents for the garages, and if so they must be screened. Mr. Reese said yes to this. The Board asked about garb age control. r4r. Reese said 2 dumpsters will be located on the 2 rear sides of the garage, one at each end. Daily pick-up will be provided. Mr. Boardman said these dumpstexs would have to be screened and loca�ed in order to allow for fire trucks to make the corners and have a 18 foot radius. Mr. Dante agreed to this. Mr. Boardman also pointed out that.the parking will have to be S f.eet off of the garages. He suggesied 6" x 18" poured concrete curbing with low maintenance material between the curbing and garage. T1r. Boardman asked wh at type of planting there would b e between the R-1 zone and R-3 zone along the driveway. He wanted to know if there would be planting or a�ence. Mr. Dante said he preferred planting, a fence is hard �o keep up. Mr. Reese said the parking and driving has been set up so no car Iights will shine into the R-1 ���indows. They would Iike to plant a 5 foot high, year around solid evergreen hedge. Mr, Boardman said for planting, a 15 foot strip is needed (because of the different zones involved). Th ey have only a 7 foot strip and would have to go be- fore Board of Appeals. If a fence was put up no variance would be needed. The Board felt they would prefer planting, but would have to wait for the Board of Apreals decision. Mr. Boardman said the 15 foot planting strip would keep cars off any planting. Mr. Lindblad asked about the driveway along the library. Mr. Dante said they will. work with the County to fix this side up. Mr. Boardman said a possible re- taining wall would be needed because �Nall's driveway is 3 to 5 feet lower th an the library's, Mr, Reese said they would like to work this out with the County. The Board agreed to this. The Board asked about the landscape plan, Mr. Dante said they had no set plan as yet. They would prefer to wait until some type of construction is up, so they can better visualize what is needed. ]�4r. Boardman said this Board should see � ' BUILDING STANDARDS-DESIGN CONTROL SUBCONII�IITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1974-PG. 7 this final plan before Council approves it. Mr. Dante said fine, a bond will be � placed on them by ttie City, so the landscaping wi11 have to be done before a Certificate of Occupancy is given. ' Mrs. Cariolano asked about a buffer strip between the R-1 and R-3 zones. She felt that no one would want to look at the backside of an apartment. Mr. Dante said it would not be a solid buffer strip, b ut one to soften the look of the apart- ment. Mr. Boardman said some planting should be provided on the east side of the , pond in order to break up the top view of the apartment from.the homes and also to give a well landscaped garden type appearance of the ponding area to follow the Mediterranean concept. � , � � ' � � � ' The Board decided to wait on the landscape plan as requested by WaII Corporation, but final plans must be brought back to this Board for approval. Also the sign in front of the complex will be included in the landscaping plan. Mr. Lindblad asked about lighting. Mr. Dante said 2 front lights will be by the entranc� a heavy wrought iron type. Mrs. Cariolano asked about foot lights on the pat�is. b1r. Dante said.they would like to postpone this plan also until the complex is in and the landscaping is. done. Mr. Boardman asked about Iights around the picnic area and b ar-b-ques. Mr. Dante said they would like to wait on this until the landscaping is done and also they have not decided on the utility they will use to light them. Neither NSP or the gas company is to anxious to take on new customers with the present energy situation. The Board agreed to handle this the same way as the landscaping�pl�n. Mrs. Cariolano asked if this would be an open public park area. Mr. Dante said no, they did not want it this way. Mr. Lindblad asked if there would be any equipment on the roof. Mr. Reese said none, only air vents. Mr. Boardman asked about the outdoor recreation facilities. He quest'ioned the waterfalls. Mr. Reese said they would like to put a rock type waterfall in the private green area. This would have an aerator to keep the water fresh. Mr. Dante said they are also thinking af putting a spray type waterfall with aerator by the front entrance. Mr. Boardman asked ab out th e putting green. Mr. Dante said they want to put � one in with a Dlonsanto terf, around the swimming pool area. Mr. Boardman also asked about a tennis court. hir. Dante said definitely there would not b e one constructed. According to the magazine, "ProfessionaZ Builder", tennis is dropping in popularity ' very fast; only in an extensive community development plan does it p ay to put a court in. Mr. Dante said he would rather use the money for other uses, such as making the apartments moxe plush. �l , � • Mrs. iVahlberg from the Board of Appeals, read in the Planning Commission minutes an indoor pool would be provided. b1r. Dante said the minutes did not say a definite yes to having an indaor pool. � Pirs. Iti`ahlberg corrected herself saying the minutes read, to encourage indoox recreation, including a swimming pool. Mr. Dante said again studies stio�a indoor pools are not used as much as to make them worthwhile. Mr. Dante also went on to say the saunas are another area which sh ow a b ad � . , � � , �� , � ' �' J ' r ' ' � � � � I� ' BUILDING STANDARDS-DESING CONTROL SUBCOM64ITTEE MEETING OF FEBRUARY 7, 1974-PG. 8 �� investment, they are not used and-have caused :some §ocial problems in apartmen�:�'.4' Mr. Dante said at their Friday Apartment Complex(?), even the tenants have come up and asked why an indoor pool Mr. Dante said with an indoor pool you get a chlorine smell and dampness in the building. Also when people go swimming they do so to be outside in the warm sun. MOTION by Tonco, seconded by Cariolano to recommend approval to the City Council construction of the development with the following stipulations and also to follow the decisions made by Board of Appeals: 1. Landscaping plan be brought to this Board before finalizing it on the development. 2. Lighting plan be brought to this Board before finalizing it on the development. . 3, Drainage plan be used as set up by the Engineering Department. 4,. If a future storm sewer system is needed to drain this area adequately, Wall Corporation wi11 pay their fair share. 5. Parking stall sizes and amount needed comply ti�ith the Board of Appeals decision. 6. Look into the suggestion of using an egg shell color for the exterior walls and not white. 7. Interior garage wall will have 2 fire doors to allow far passage from one side to the other. 8. Screened garb age areas will provide room for firetruck access. 9. Parking will be 5 feet off of the garage, separation made by a poured concrete curb, 6" x 18", area between the curb and building will h ave a low maintenance material. 10. Work out driveway plan on north side with Anoka County, possible retaining wall will be needed. 11. If planting is used for a buffer on the south side driveway, they will have to go before the Board of Appeals fox a variance (from 15 feet to 7 feet).

Upon a voi.ce vote,=there being no nays, the motion carried. Mr. Rudolph Dante, and Mr. Frank Reese, architect, were present to present the xequest. Mr. Reese stated the reason they have used �he tri-spacer(efficiency) as this is ' the type of housing that is neede3. He said this type u�.�it has the ro�ms flo�aing together but it has more open s�ace. He said in the apar�ments that have the efficiency units, thexe has been no problem at all in renting them. He said the ' unit contains a sleeping alcove, kitchen, living/dining area, and bathroom. He said the square footage fox each unit is not exact as the living/dining area is larger in some units. ' ' ' � Mr. Dante stated they have designed this, instead of the stereo type unit with � small xooms, with open space, but where the renter could get the feeling of separation in rooms by putting up.decorator beads, etc., £or some type of cut off. Mr. Dante stated the 1 bedroom plus den unit could be changed into a Z bedroom unit by having the moun�able wall installed between the den and living room. He said this would change the den into the second bedroom but it would be at the option of the renter. Mr. Crowdex questioned the need for studio units. He asked what draws the need and who is it needed by. He said he could see it needed neax a college but why in the middle of Fxidley. ' Mr. Bante explained the market determines what is needed. He said the Darrel Farr. development is a per�ect example. He said the efficiency and 2 bedroom units are rented already with waiting lists. He explained two people caill go together to ' xent a 2 bedroom unit but if the efficiency is pxiced at about half that aznount, a person may say his privacy is worth paying a little extxa. Mrs. Wahlbexg asked if the square footage in the unit isn't relative as the ' Darrel Farr development has approximately 100 square feet more per unit. She � L� ' , i� �� i� ' ' ' ' ' , ' ' ' C_J ' ' ' ' The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of February 7, 1974 Page 2 said if she was a prospective rent'er, she would compare prices plus square footage. Mr. Reese said the extra square footage in the Darrel Farr development was not because of marketabil�ty. He said they wexe made larger because of others concerns; one of them being the F.H.A. He said the extra space doesn't make them that much better. Mr. Dante said he didn't think the square footage in a unit was the primary reason someone would rent it. He said he wouZd look a� the locality in relation to bus stops, stoxes, etc., before the square footage. Mrs. Gabel asked if most of the renters tend to be txansient since it is mostly singles that will be renting these units. . Mr. Dante stated he didn't think so as in their other apartment they have some efficiency renters with 2 year leases. He said they have more problems with people moving out of 1 and 2 bedroom units. Mrs. Gabel asked how they would control two people from moving into an efficiency; as a young married couple that doesn't have much money. Mr. Dante said he didn't think they would even look at an efficiency. Chairman Drigans said he.felt a young couple might be more interested in a new efficiency with carpeting and appliances and the low rent price rather than an older 1 bedxoom apartment. Jerry Boardman stated Darrel Farr has not been renting their efficiencys to married couples and the Wal1 Corporation also has a certain amount of control over their renters. Mr. Dante stated their building is made up of 72 modules, 1300 square feet to a module, and two units in a module. He said 30 modules would be tri-spacers, 30 modules would be 1 bedroom plus dens, and 12 modules would be 1 bedroom, making a total of 144 units. He said using the Code requirement for square footage for a 1 bedroom unit (525 sq. ft.) and 1-2 bedroom.unit (625 sq. ft.) you come up with 1150 square feet. He said for 2-1 bedroom units the Code says 1050 square feet is required. He said they have 1300 square �eet for two of their units which is over what the Code requires. Mr. Crowder asked how they came up with a 1300 square foot module. Mr, Dante answexed that each module is 48 feet by 2& fe�t. He said they came up�with this because of cos.t structures.� He said the Code says 1 efficiency per floor when you have 4 to 8 units when effect it would become 25% to 50% of the units. Jerry Boardman said he thought the intent of the Code was to a1low 25% of the units to be efficiency. Mr. Dante said if that was the case, 25% of his units would be 36 allowable efficiencys. ' Jerry Boardman said 25% would be more reasonable but Wall Corporation would still need a variance on their proposed 60 units. Mr. Crowder asked if Mr. Dante was saying that he has never before run across an Ordinance limiting the type of units in an apartment. Mr. Dante said that was correct. ' The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of �ebruary 7, 19�4 Page 3 _Chairman Drigans said, if he heard xight, Mr. Dante was going to build his , apartment according to the market and not according to the Code requirements. Mr. Dante said he was ignorant of such an ordinance and tha� he had never heard of such a thing before. ' , LJ , � ' ' �J ' Chairman Drigans stated that in the past meetings concerning this property, Mr. Dante stated he had a 180 unit apartment on 4 acxes of land, and tha� this apartment had 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units in it. He added that here there are 8 acres of land and the building still has �o have variances. Mr. Dante stated he has never said he wanted to build 3 bedroom apartmentis. Chairman Dxigans referred to the joint meeting the Board had with the Planning Commission where Mr. Dante stated that he would like to build the same apartment in Fridley that he has out south. Mr. Dante said he would have liked that but he would have changed the 3 bedxoom units �0 2 bedroom and tri-space units. Mrs. Wahlbexg asked if the square footage was si.milar between.the proposed units and the existing building. Mr. Dante said they were quite close. Mr. Crowder said then the existing building is where the 1300 square feet comes from. NIr. Dante said yes, somewhat, but all things have to be taken into considexation. Jerry Boardman said he felt in these modules, the size of the smaller units could be increased by decreasing the size of the two,bedroom,units. Mr. Dante replied that could be done but cutting down the two bedroom units would make it totally unappealing to him. He said you can only change them so much because the rental price would also have to change. He said the price range determines the maxketability. He said you staxt pushing an ef�iciency into a one bedroom and you get a one bedroom price. Mrs. Wahlberg said the public h�aring notice states 72 effi.ciency units and ' 32- 2 bedroom units. She asked if they are now changing this to 60 efficiency units, 60- 1 bedroom plus dens, and 24- 1 bedroom units. Mr. Dante said they � would like to go with the change. �� � , �� ' CI �I ' Chairman Drigans said he felt the Wall Corporation was trying to change the Code to meet the building instead of huilding the building to meet the Code. He said according to this plan, there will also have to be variances requested on the pa,�king and also on Che laundry area. Mr. Dante said he felt the Code is outdated and should be done over and brought up to date with the.City. He said the laundxy space required is enough to open a Chinese laundry. He said the times have changed and so should the Codes. He said he feels the parking that is being provided is adequate according to their studies but he will discuss tlzai: when the variance is requested. Mrs. Gabel said she felt the laundzy space that is shown would work out to be ane washer for 12 units and she didn't think that was sufficient. Mrs. Wahlberg asked what their projections were for how long the trend fox efficiency units would 1ast. �� � �J The Minutes of the Board of Appeals Meeting of February 7, 1974 Page 4 Mr. Reese said he felt it hasn't peaked out yet but that the demand should crest out in the next 5 or 10 years. He said from there he didn't know where it would go• Mr. Dante said that is why its easier to talk in modules instead of apartment units as its easier to change if need be. Mr. Crowder said he looks at Georgetown Apartments and he sees no efficiency units, and 5 Sands have none and Hirsch Apartments have none. He said now the Wall , Corporation is saying that they have to have them. He said maybe they do since no one else has them. '� � C' ' ' !J �� ' Chairman Drigans asked what the age group is that rents studio units. Mr. Dante said anywhere from 24 to 32. He said people are now marrying at an older age, if at all, and its the people who want their privacy that rent these units. Mrs. Wahlberg asked if they were going to allow children in this apartment. Mr. Dante stated his feeling is that this building is not conducive to children. MOTION by Crowder, seconded by Plemel, to close the public hearing. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carxied unanimously. Mr. Crowder said the request before the Board is.totally foreign to the notice that was sent out but it is a decrease in the variance so there should be no objections from the surrounding neighbors. He said he was against the variance to 72 efficiency units but after all the discussion he can go along with the 60. Mrs. Wahlberg said she too did not agree with 72 units but after hearing the discussion and their market xesearch with their lenders, their plan is not unreasonable. Mrs. Gabel also said she could approve a variance to 60. units. Mr. Plemel stated he felt its a difficult request to make a decision on since none of the Board live in apax�ments. He said he can't tell them what is right or wrong b ecause he really has no iclea. He said he could go along with the 60 units. ' MOTION by Wahlberg, seconded by Plemel, to recommend to the Ci.ty Council, approval of a variance to build 60 tri-space units along with 60-1 bedroom plus dens and 24- 1 bedroom units. � � ' ' ' u Chairman Drigans stated that a variance is going to be necessary on the Taundry area but that he would strongly recommend that the necessary parking spaces be provided instead of asking for a variance on them. A VOTE UPON THE MOTION, all voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.

F.nproval of "�Iinutes: The Chairrnan asked whether there were any prapased chang�s in the minutes of the quarterly meet.ing of October.l7, 1973 as mailed to mem�ers of the Board. There being none, the minutes were a�proved as mailed. ' 4. Election of Officers; It being the annual meeting of the Board, the C�.airr�an cal.led .for the report of the Nominating Committe�. The Nominating Co�nmittee consisted of Mr. Luettinger, ' Mr. Leary and Mr. Dow and the report was submitted�"by Nire Luettinger. Th�. report ot th� Comr.�ittee was to nominate the follo��ing person� to the following offices: � C' ' ' , ' ' �' ' � Chairman Donalc� Asr.mus V'ice Chairman Gay�e Norberg Treasure= J. N.

There beinq none, it was moved by Mr. Luettinger, seconded by Mr. Hanson, that the nominati.ons be closed and that the neminees be unanimously elected to the offices to which they had been nominated. Carried unanir�,ousiy. The Chairman thereupon declare� the nominees to be elected. 5. Treasurer's Rer�ort: Treasurer Dalen submitted his written re�ort for the year ended Decer;lber 31, 1973 showing a cash balance of $3,714.47 and investments having a total cost of $136,4�7.32 and a face value of $1�0,399.0£3. It was moved by Mr. P�orberg, seconde� by rgr. Lu�ttinr�er, that the Treasurer's report be accepted. Carried unani�►ously. 6. Payments �rom Ninneabolis Gas Company: Tne attorney indicated that the franchise grovic�es that the SRA funds are_to come from annual pa_ymAnts of $30,000 per vear fram MinneapoZis Gas Company. F�e poznted out, howev�r, that during the past few years the SRA Board has requested Minneapolis Gas Company to reduce these payments to a lower sum, and, during ].973, the company was requested to make a payment of only $1,000, it being the belief of the Board that the SRA had sufficient financial resources to handle a large rate case against the company if that shb�Id prove necessary.' After discussion it was moved by Mr. Dulgar arid seconded by ' Mr. Hanson that thu SRA reguest Minneapolis Gas Company to make no contributions to the SRA during 1974, subject,.however,-to redetermination by the Board later in th�e year. Carried unanimously.

Carried unanimously. 8. Rate Consultant R�port: Rate Consultant, George Hess, �resentec� his quarterly ��r�.tten report. He also reported that P�inneapol�.s Gas Cor�pany has made it� annual rate fil ing 'far the suburl�an area. Such rate filing calls for an increase of approximately 14� for a typical resiaential heating customer. He indicated that the coMpany has also notified its interruptible customers that co*nm�ncing in P{arch, 1974 their rate� would be increa.sed to 21¢ per i�cf for pouble .�s customers and 19¢ Mcf for all other ir�terruptib].e classes, resuZting in increases ranging from 30 to 400. He indicated, however, that the rates proposed for �he suburban division are 20¢ per month far resiclential heating customers higher than the rates proposed in the City of Minneapolis and that this difference is probably a result of the provisions of the new P�inneanolis iranchise which restricted the timing of an increase in the allawable rate of return in Minneapolis. . He in��cated that the Northern i�latural Pipeline Case, Doc. Nos. RP71-1�7 and RP72-107, have been settled anc� ?�q9.nne�polis Gas Company wi11 receive a substantial refund. Even t��ith this refun�, however,and with the ea:isting funds in the overage account and the proposed rate increase, the func':s in the overage account at the end of 1974 are estimated by the coMpany at less than $I00,040. He stated that there are inctications that Pipeline gas costs will continue to rise. �iorthern has told its customers that it intends to file for a further incr�ase in the spring of 1974. M�reover, tr.e price of gas in�the £ield continues to rise and Northern is perr�ittecl to recover this increased cost through the automatic purchased gas adjustment clause which has been approved. by the FPC. � • � �.:°� .' . • . ;;�� �, � �� ' � ' ' 6C He reported that he has given carefu]. study to the cor- relation bet��een the �?andy ���hitr.n.an Tndex anc� the company' s actual construction costs: If the company:s experience, at the end of a five year period, varies more than 15o from the com�any's actual experience, the Index is'�`�`ised far the purpose of �eterMining the present day repro<3uction costs of the company's facilities. If the company's exp�rience indicates that they could construct facili�ies at a substan�ially lo�>?er �igure than that which is obtained by usinq �he Inc�ex, so that �he Index need not be used, this would re�ult in a substantial reduction in the value of tr,e plant on w�hich the company is entitZe� to earn its authorized rate of return under the Unifor�, Suburk;an Gas Franchise. He pointec� out that one of tr,e issues that arises in con- ,� nection with the comparison of actual experience e�ith the Index is that the company's calculations do not adequately reflect the use of plastic in place of steel for smaller sizes o€ pipe. , He saic� that the company has always disputed the SP.A's rierht to regulate int�rruptib�-e rates and that he has always contended that he had such authority. He reported that he had consulted with ' Mr. LeFever�'s office and had been aavised that they were incZined to agree that he does have authority over interruptible rates. � I� LJ � ' ' ' ' � ' ' He paintec? � out that tY�e rate of return �xom interrupt ible customers seems to be very high in relation ta residential heating customers an� other classes of service. Further analysis of the company's costs o� service and rate of return for each class of service will have to be made by hirn. H� saic',. that he opposes a:� "unbalariced'° rate structure which results in a'�"s-a�i variation in the rates of return a�on_q the various classes of service. He did oppose a grossly excessive rate of return from interrupt ible customers. However, any reduction in interrup�i.ble rates might require an up��ard adjustment of firm rates. - He stated that the }3oard might wish to instruct him to take no action�on interruptible rates, even if he finds the rate of return to be qrossly out of b�.lance wi.th thP rate on other classes of service. (The Board took no action, however, to restrict Mr. Hess on this matter.) At the conclusion of the rate consultant's oral report, there followed a question and ans�er session. , ' , ' ' ' C � LJ ' ' ' , ' �I � ' ' � � ' • � 9.� Authority to Use :�ersonnel of Hess and Lim: Mr. Hess indicated that it might e necessary to br�.ng personnel from his h'ashington firm of ?-sess and Lim to assist in the evalua- tion of P�sinneapolis Gas Company's f_iles as well as to assist on FPC matters in �+?ashinqton. After discussion, it was moved by Mr. Schoell, s�conded by P�ir. Dow, that Mr. iiess be authorized to use the personnel of the firm of Hess and Lim as he deems it necessary to assist him in his work on behalf of the SP,A. Carried unanimously. 10. Proposed State Regulation: A�r. Nawrocki gave a status report on proposed State regul�tion, indicating that a statc-wide regulatory bill proviaing for regulation of gas and electric rates by the .�s�ate �bZ� r cQlvic� c;omrni.�sinn had been passed out Of a Iiouse Sukhcammittee . He indicated that the ariginal bi1.1, which had been considered by the cornnlittee, provid�d that the xate k�ase would be calculated on the basis o� original cost less depreciation. The bill as reporte�.by tne subcom��nittee, perrzits the use of "fair value." He indicated that he believed �ha.s to be an extremely undesirable provision and suggested that the SRA Baard take actian to urge the Le�islature to require the use of an original cost rate base in any regulatory law. It was pointed �out that r9r, Hess has testified before the House Comr.:ittee on the di.sadvantage of a fair value rate base. His comments to the co.mmittee t�,�ere substantia].ly as fo].].ocvs: "The first and apparently the most controv2rsial issue is the use of an original cost rather than a 'fair value' rate base. �1SP progo�es that the current value be considered and Niinnegasco says that '�air va�.ue' is necessary. Surprisingly in ano�her part of his stater.tent, L:SP's l�ir. Spethmann said: 'NSP assured the various lec�is].ators proposing such legislation tha� the company caould not oppose state rer,ulation if such r�gulation followed the regulatory pattern used succes- sfully in V�)isconsin, T•Zew York, California, and many other states.' Mr. Spethmann knows, and I know, and you shouZd know that Wisconsin, New York and California aIl are original•cost jurisdictions. They do not use a fair value rate base. These t7�ree states are singled out because they are con- siderecl hy those of us familiar with the national regulatory scene to be the foremost leaders in the regulatory field. i�SP's insistance on consideration of current values of , ,�� ' � � r f' � � ' � I� ' � �J � � ' �J � property violates their statement that they would not oppase a bill patterened after regulation in these states; but be that as it may. "Minnegasco makes th� flat statement a'fair value rate base' is required 'to 5e realistic and workable in today's economy'. Of course, DZinnegasco knows as well as I do tlzat mr�st major utilities in this country are regulated on an original cost rate base not a fair value rate base. I know of no reason why utili.ties in this state have to be put into a more preferred status than utilities in other jurisdictions. It is not reasonable to conclude that a fair value rate base must be used in Minnesota when :nost other states use an original cost approach unless one �aere to think that the managers of our utilities are so incor!i�etent that ti�ey cannot compete on an equal footing c�rith other utilities. I have no reason to tnink that i�SP and Minnegasco's management are less competent than the �!anagements of other utilities operating in original cost juris- dictions elsewhere. "Minnegasco goes on to say 'It has bePn stated that th� developMent of current value information is difficult and speculative. This argument is not correct...' They �ga on to say that �ecause of the availability of published construction cost a.ndicies fair value is a simple matter to determine. I can only conclude that the author of_ tinat patently false statement has never been involved in a hotly contested utility rate case wlzere fair value is an issue. Maybe it is just a lack of experience because Minnegasco does not have to concern itsel.f with fair value in FPC proceedings involving its supplier Northern Natural Gas Company. � °'I have been involved in numerous contested fair value rate proceedings. I wi].1 state unequivocally to this committee that �he development of current value is difficult and is speculative. Furthermore, it results in a tremendous waste of time and money in ra�e litigation. The so called published con- struction cost indicies are not reliable measures of changes in value. They are nat even reliable measures of changes in price. They do not reasonably take into account changes in technological nor improve- ments in praductivity. 6E �� � ' � � � J � i I� I��.J I� � ir 1 �1 � � � � � , � "Let me cite you just a fev� examples. I have for a number of years b�en a consultant to the Montana Public Utilities Commission and have been responsible for presenting �he staff's case in the last four major rate proceedings involving the riontana Power Company and the ?��ontana-Dakota Utilities Company. In those proceedings the utilities relied on published indicies to arrive at present-day cost measures of value. In the case of Montana-Dakota Utilities tre application of the published indicies to an older gas turbine that had b�en insta7.led in 1953 resulted in a present day cost of $3,529,600 for the l0 mw unit. But, �iontana-Dakota had just installed a new 27 mw unit in 1972 at a total cost of $1,963,413. I failed to see how anyone could claim that a 10 mw unit had a value o£ $3,529,6�0 �ahen a unit nearly three times its size had been instal3ed for less than $2 million, but that is the type of 'value' one gets from the use of published indicies. Anather example from the Montana-Dakota case relates to the installa- tion of gas transmissz.on mains. I found that the application of indicies ta the origi.nal cost of such mains produced a current value sor.ie 4I percent higher than what the company was actually paying under recent contracts let for such work. "In the case of Montana Power Campany I was able. to compare the present-day cost of an old power dam installed in 1911 ��ith the cost of a new dam that had been recently installed. Despite the fact that the two dams were approximately the sam� size (actually the newer dam was slightly larger) and that both had been built across the P�issouri River not far from each.other the so call.ed reproducti�n cost of the •- older dam obtained �rom the apglication of published indicies was more than thr�e times the cost that had actually been p�id for the newer dam. T:�e reason for these great discrepancies is simply that indicies cannot properly take into account chanqes in construction methods and improvements in productivity. "Y coul�d go on and on with other examples. In fair value rate proceedings my testimony relating to fair value will frequently run more than 50 pages. The time and effort spent in uncovering these deficiencies would be unnecessary if original cost depreciated had been the accepted rate base in those jurisdictions. Thus, Z say that a great deal of time and money are wasted in fair value jurisdictions. The determination 6F � �� ' ' ' r� � �� ' ' ' �J ' of so called fair value is not necessary in order to set a rate that is just and reasonable. If T had been able ta spend aIi my time and efforts on other facets of the rate case, I could have done a better job of protecting consumer interests. "�3oth D�innegasco an� P3SP argue that since the � Northwestern Bell is regul.ated on a fair value basis here in Minnesota they too should enjoy that status. The simple ans�aer is that it is high tiMe that the legislature put the telephone company on a reasonable rate base basis. The la�a should be chan�ed to pratect the telephone subscribers as wel1, but only you have the pocaer to change it. I certainly see no logic in extending and perp�tuating an unaound regulatory pra�tic2 merely because it has been used for the telephone company. I couZdn't hel� but notice that Chairman RoZvaag applauded the original cost rate base provision of the bill even though his agency has to struggle c�ith the fair value problem in setting telephone rates. "Minnegasco goes on to argue the la�� which is a little strange since yau, the legislature, are the ones that set the I.a�r. T understand that Mr. LeFever.e has told Xou there are no constitutional constraints requiring the use of fair value and so I will not replow that ground. "One last point on this subject. If there has been a trend it has been away from not towards fuir value, Ia���a and Illinois both have abandoned 'fair value' in favor of original cost in recent years. I know of no state that has gone the otYier way." ' After f�arther discussion, it was moved by Agr. Nawrocki, seconded by t�Ir. Lu�ttinger, that the following resolution be adopted: . ' "Resalution Relating to Proposed State-wide Regulation of �lectric and Gas Rates � ' ' ' ' "Whereas, a subcommittee of the Cor.lmittee on Governmental Oper�tions of the Minnesota i:ouse of Representatives has had under consideration a bill • providing for state regulation of electric and gas rates, and ' "Whereas, such bill�, in its original form, pro- vided for the use of an original cost rate base, and 6G '.. � �I "Y��hereas, such bill, as reported out of the sub- ' committee, was changed to permit consideration of current value and other factors in the determination of rate base, and � � ' � ' ' ' ' , ' ' � , , ' ' � "Whereas, the Suburban Rate Authority is an organization of municipalities served by MinneapoZis Gas Company, which undertakes to regulate Minneapolis Gas Company rates pursuant to the provisions.of a Uniform Suburban Gas Franchise, and "Whereas, such Uniform Suburban Gas Franchise provides ior consic'.eration of supposed current values of company property used in providing service to the cor.ununities represented by the Suburban Rate Authority, and "Whereas, such 'current values,' under the franchise, are determined in accordance with an index of construction costs, and "Whereas, it appears that sucri index of con- struc�ion costs is frequently at substantial variance froM the company's actual experience on present day construction costs, and "Whereas, th�re have been ehanges in construction techniques making it unrealistic and, in a sense, irrelevant, to determine what the present day repro- duction casts of older £acilitie.s (which would not now be du�licated) would be, and "Whereas, the Unifarn:► Suburban Gas Franchises were a result of nec�otiations between I�Zinneapolis Gas Cor�pany and suburban comriunities and the rate base � provisions, in particular, represented a compromise in order to provic�e �or regulation at a time when there had been no�effective requlatian, and "Whereas, this Boara believes that an original cost rate base is to be preferred over a fair value rate base because it is in accordance with sound regulatory practice, is rel:atively, f.ree of uncertainty, is less likely to r�svlt in expensive rate litigation, and for other r�asons is to be preferred over a fai:r value rate base. "Now Therefore, be it resolved by the Board of Directors of the 5uburban Rat� Authority as follows: 6H ' . � ' ' � . , , ' . , � . ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' ' 1. As to any propose3 legislation provi.ding for state gas and electric regulation, the Suburban Rate Authority herewith declares that it is strongly opposed to any provisi.on which permits the use of a fair rate base, or the use of supposed current values of property, in airiving at the rate �aase. 2.

Previous report dated February 1, 1974 to the City Council regarding naturalist and nature interpretive program for the City of Fridley. 2. Job description for the naturalist outlining the position objectives, duties, and responsibilites along with desired training and experience. 3. Preliminary proposed budget for part of 1974 for the nature interpretive program in the City. 4. �ummary of the data collected by the administrative ..

A copy of the "Bulletin of Natural Science for Youth Foundation", listing numerous job openings within the country, along with positions wanted by a number of persons in the nature interpretive and related programs. I hope this gives the City Council a reasonable amount of data and background for formulation of their instructions to the administrative staff for the nature interpretive program for the City of Fridley for 1974.

QURFSHI, CITY MANAGER SUBJECT: NATURIaLIST - NATURE INTERPRETIVE PROGRAM FOR THE CITY OF FRID!EY s 0 •� Pursuant to the instructions contained in the Council meeting minutes of January 21, 1974, attached herewith you will find the outline of the job descrip- tion for a naturalist for the Ciiy of Fridley. I hope the Councii wili revie<<� the job outline and make any adjustmenis, if nec:essary, before the description is finalized. I assume that, as iong as the Councii has instructed the administration to prepare a jok� description, they have the desire to create a position of naturaiist on the City staff and to fill that position sometime this year. If we are going to have a naturalist on the staff, I feel that to make the program viable, he has to 6e provided with a reasonable amount of funds to conduct the program. 4Jith this in mind, I am submitting to you a preliminary, tentative budget outline so that the Council can start thinking about the proposal and that in the near future we can fina]ize the proposal and make the appropriate changes and transfers in the City budget t� provide funds for a nature inter- pretive program. Tf�e preliminary program is based on a budget of about six to seven months of initia7 operation of the nature �nterpretive program_in the.. .:;:� City. I must emphasis this is only an operational budget, and �here are no . ' capita] improvem�nt funds provided in the budget. __ . For 1975, I assume the Council would like the nature interpreti��e program to be incorporated in the overall budget, and make the proposal.of the budget for this program in conjunction with the overall City budget, which is gener.ally done in the fall of the year. The proposed budget has been prepared on the. premisE we would have some program started this year, and hopefully this would be expanded next year, dependir�g upon the needs of the community, the response and accepta.�ility of the program by the public. Also, depending upon the volunteer support, financial and otherwise, received from the community and other sources, including State and Federal;funds. �. The Council at the meeting of January 21, 1974, instructed me to prepare the outline and submit it back to the Council a�t the meeting of February 11, i974. I am submitting this interim report to the Council encompassing a iittle broader scope than the Council had instructed me to prepare, 4�ith the hope that Council will start thinking in the areas beyond the job description. I hope this � I 'The Mayor and City Council -2- February 1, 1974 additional material 4ri11 start the further process in motion, especially the budget program, and by getting some feedback from the Councii, we hope to sub- mit a more formalized report to the Council at the meeting of February ll, 1974. I hope the Council takes this in the spirit of just informational material and we are not necessarily expecting the Council to make a decision at this meeting. Because there is a considerable amount of public interest in the proposal, hopefully the Cout�cil �•rould make the decision on February 11, 1974, as that was the date given to the pub7ic in regard to this matter.

As ger discussions at the Council Meeting of February 4, 1974, we have basically limited our search for a golf course architect to the local firms. From the informa- _ tipn and data we have been able to collect within the limited time up to date, ' following are the firms who have experience in design of golf courses. They are listed in �he order of experience as far as we could determine: ' Brauer & Associates, Inc. ,� , .

Cretin Avenue St. Paul, Minnesota 55104 Because of the voluminous nature of the background material on these archi- tectural firms, this material is being supplied to you in your agenda �older. If the City Council feels they desire some additional information or input, we will try to do so; after that I will recommend that the�City Council interview two or three architectural firms to make a final selection for an architect for the golf course. � 0 THE MAYOR AND GITY COUNCIL -2- FEBRUARY 8, 1974 REPORT FROM FISCAL AGENTS EHLERS AND ASSOCIATES REGARDING REVENUE BONDS: We met with Mr. Sig Swanson of Ehlers and Associates and also talked to Bob Ehlers. They have indicated they will have the updated report of their original reports regarding North Park Site Development Financing dated June 8 and June 25, 1973, available for Council review and consideration at the Council meeting of February 11, 1974. I hope this complies with the instructions con- tained i� the Council minutes of January 21, 1974. NMQ/ms NASIM M.

FINANClAL COlVSlJLTANT� MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA 554Q2 339-8291 (AREA C�DE 612J This 7etter supplements our� June 25, 1973 report and is intended to determine the amount of money that could be financed vrith gross revenue bonds for golf course purposes. A gross revenue bond p7edges that principal and interest payr�enis i�ou�d be paid from revenues of th�e.golf course before op�ration and maintenance. If funds were short in any year, other city revenues �r�ould be used to pay operating costs of the course. Even with this pledge, houtever, bond under��ariters expect the projected cash flow for the� golf course to demonstrate aTl operation, maintenance and debt service costs can be met in a difficult year. Golf finance projections are based upon the annual rounds to be played, of which 40,000 is the limit dealers will accept for the Ttvin Cities areae {Some rounds are 9 hoies, others 18. Rounds here represen� a eambinatian of both.) This cal- culates to 5.9 foursomes per hour (1 every 10 minutes) for a 10 hour day (3 hours less than the average hours from sun up to sun doGVn from April 15 to October 15) for 169 days. This is the average number of days per year with less than .5 inches of rain for the six summer months of Apri] I5 through October 15 over the iast five years. Reparting of annual rounds of play for various metro area courses must be qualified because few keep accurate r�cords and most re�ort estimat�s. Ho�vever, the reported rounds range from 30,000 to 50,a00 per year. Golfing fees range from �3.75 to $4.75 per round, varying an the course, holes played, age, day of week, etc. Inflation u�ill probab7y cause rates to it�crease prior to the 1976 season, so $4.25 a round is acceptable as the average rate for a revenue projection. Gross revenues from green fEes total �170,000 annually ort this basis. Fees from ancillary services, such as golf cart rentals, pro shap and restaurant earnings and possibly ski or snati�lmobile fees, are estimated at $15,OQ0 annually, resulting in total fees of $185,000. Deducting �95,000 operation and ma�ntenance costs from the gross fees, it can be determined ti�at debt service should not exceed �90,000. T��denty.years is about the maximum marketable final maturity for a gross revenue bond. Bonds maturing over that period 4rouid probab�y require an averag� coupon rate of 6.5% and a 3°� discount.

' Thus, the maximum time prior to the first contract awarding that the bonds could be sold would be seven months. � Bond .underwriters of revenue bonds prefer that major construction bids be opened prior to bidding on the revenue bonds. Cash flow the first two or thrze years is the most critical with revenue supported bonds, and timely completion af the ' project is necessary for the accuracy of the projection. Having the bids opened gives underwriters additional assurance of the accuracy of construction costs and completion date. , Conclusion: ' As the maximum project cost is v�ithin preliminary estimates for your project, a1e can conclude it is feasible and, barring unforeseen ehanges in the bond market, the bonds cou�d be sold. Some flexibility exists in the total estimate and we ' are looking fort�rard to working ��ith you and your architect in making eash flo4�a projections for the exact design of your course.

Fri dl ey, ��li nnesota 55432 Re: North Park Golf Course Mr. Qureshi: Your council, behind some very positi've leadership from the mayor, nas taken a big step in designating North Par[c as a golf course. We were particularly pleased that the recommendation a�so included appointment of a naturalist. The para1lel development of both recreational opportunities in Fridley is important. I'm sure that you will have some trouble in getting some of the most experienced interpretive na�uralists to apply for �he job because of the intense controversy. We will notify some of the people we have worked with in other areas of the country. I have personally served on several selection committees for the Hennepin Gounty Park Distwict and other municipal- ities in an advisory capacity as a volunteer. Should you.. choose this method of selection, I would be more than- happy to offer to serve with two or three others to assist you in evaluating applicants. The success of the program, the whole approach and community attitude toward nature interpretation will be established by the flrst person in the job.

County people, but will be vital. I don't know about the Anoka coordination and cooperation In regard to selection of a golf course architect. We, of course, want to be considered. I'm enclosing a form which we have suggested for clients to use in comparing various firms. I would also suggest that you clarify witn your city attorney the need for professional registration and responsibility for � the project. I realize that two public caurses have been built (Coon Rapids and Dwan) without registration on the plans, but both were done before the recent, more positi�e enforcement posture of the state board. The informal opinion we have received is that registration is required for this "pub1�C works project" and that the city engineer would assume responsiUility should the city not hire a person or firm (as prime contractor) which can provide registration responsibility. We would also ltke to talk with you�about construction management services. We now have some three years of experience with construction management for park site work and golf courses, and believe that in addition to sav�ng money directly, the process does expedite completion wf�ich results in earlier production of revenue. The example enclosed was prepared for the Apple Valley course, currently being designed. We have confirmed some of these figures by taking alternate bids on general construc- tion and CM methods on park wo�k over the past two years. I'll call you in a week or so to see if you have questions or need clarification on any of the things I have enclosed. BRAUER & ASSOCIATES, INC. ' �� -��i'�,�..�,.�.-�--�.�..__.�.

Expedite and Control the construction work in order to complete the project as soon as practicable through: a. Pre-bid education - bidders can influence design input at the specification and vlorking drawing stage, and become , familiar with job before bids are required. ' . Reduced Bidder Risks = Reduced Bid Prices b. Pre-bid critical oath schedule worked out with bidders to show practicability of the proposed work elements. . Reduced Bidder Risks = Reduced Bids Prices ....- . 16 c. Establish se�arate bids by work breakdown or bidder prefer- ence; opens up the bidding to more contractors; limited to their primary �vork area; permits termination of one contract without involving others; provides better accountability after construction; more easily supervised, observed, inspected and approved. - ' 2. Provide continuous focus for management of construction for � esigner, owner, contractors and others. None of the other participants have this responsibility as a �rim�ar� occupation - a11 added responsibilities and likely'to be od ne "wher� there is , time". ' ' a. Coordinating activities of different contractors b. Scheduling surueying and inspection . c. Schedu1ing testing and sampling d. Preparation of daily logs and reports e. Processing apnrovals and reviews f. Effect communication betti��een all three parties g. Maintain complete records for� Owner's benefit. . Reduces Friction, Delay, Additional Time and Effort Involved by All Parties in a Divided Resnonsibilitv Situation = Reduced Risks, f•�are Effective Ldork andyMore Comfortable Condit�on For 1 Parties. 3 ♦.t� , � � � � . • • ' . .

NAWROCKI COMMISSIONER REPRESENTING ANOKA COUNTY METROPOLITAN TRANSIT COMMISSION FEBRUARY 6, 1974 SUMMARY OF ANOKA COUNTY TRANSIT STUDY Within the next year, bus service in Anoka County will be more than doubled, if recommendations from the Anoka County Transit Study are implemented. Both peak-hour and off-peak increases are contemplated, and buses will serve destinations within and beyond the county that are presently inaccessible by bus, including St. Paul. More equipment would also be added, plus related amenities such as bus shelters and park-and-ride sites. The study recommends trial of new service concepts, also, including subscription service to Northern Ordnance and a demon- stration of Dial-A-Ride. Underway since last March, the study was conducted by the tdetropolitan Transit Commission, in cooperation with Anoka County. Its purpose was to determine additional bus routes and services, arid additional road improvements, that would be needed over the next ten years. Recommen- . dations were considered in light af several goals: (1) to provic�e improved public transit to assist in conserving limited fuel resources and reducing local traffic congestion, regional air pollution, and the need for auto-oriented improvements; (2) to improve the mobility of the county's population by providing public transit between residential area and major activity centers within the study area; and (3} to upgrade the quantity and quality of public transit in the county's urbanized corridors, including service to and from downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul. Specifically, the major recommendations arec * Add peak-hour and off-peak service as illustrated on the � attached maps. These additions would represent a 103 per � cent increase in bus miles over present levels, and a 116 per cen t inc re a s e i n b u s o p e r a t i n g h o u r s. ' * Add 26 buses to 30 that presently serve the area, an increase o� 87 per cent. All but four of these buses would be added during the next year. � �� ' , � * Add 14 heated bus shelters to the nine existing or committed, a11 during the next year. * Add 10 park-and-ride sites to the two existing sites, all during the next year. � * Implement, if feasible, subscription bus service to FMC's Northern Ordnance Division. * Demonstrate, if feasible, a Dial-A-Ride service in Columbia Heights and Fridley, between Mississippi Str.eet and 37th Avenue Northeast. � ' ' -2- * Encourage adoption by municipalities of a model code foz transit impact analysis, whereby new developments would be examined for their impact on public transportation facilities. First-year operating costs for implementing recommended service is ' estimated at $641,000. With estimated revenues of $385,000, new service would require a subsidy of $256,000. � Capital costs for new buses would be approximately $1,170,000, and would be financed by the MTC and the federa2 government. Other capital costs, for shelters, park-and-ride sites, remote-intercept parking lots, and � transit-related intersection upgrading, would total approximately $806,000 and would be financed on a project-by-project basis from a variety of federal and local sources. ' � ' r-- I� ' , ' , � � , , ' �� The study was directed by a Project Management Board, consisting of representatives from Anoka County, the Anoka County League of Municipalities, the Minnesota Highway Department, the Metropolitan Council, a community advisory committee, and the MTC. The community advisory committee was organized to review and critique study progress and provide liaison with each municipality in order to obtain community input and to keep individual communities informed of study progress and recommendations. The committee membership included representatives from Anoka, Blaine, Circle Pines, Columbia Heights, Coon Rapids, Fridley, Lexington, and Spring Lake Park. The study's consultant was Bather-Ringrose-Wolsfeld. ;, r _ , 15C ' � � � � • aQN o= I ' . �>W �vo Z moc� .
