problems and he feared if the construction would not start at the present time,

SIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF FINAL PLAT P. S. #47-01, RICE CREEK ESTATES, BY GOODCO
., Ai�D PINE TREE BUILDERS; GENERALLY LOC TED BETWEEN RICE CREEK ROAD AND 6157
The City Manager pointed out that there are two areas of concern on the proposed plat.
He explained one to be in the area of the Thielmann property where Woodside Court
would be extended from Briardale. He said Mr. Thielmann was in his office and he
�
i
;

'
'�', '.
1G� I ,
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 18, 1974 Page 4
indicated he was going to meet with the representatives of Goodco, the Ward Councilman,
and the Councilman at Large.
Councilman Starwalt said he had talked to the peop7e on Saturday and they had not
reached a decision. Councilman Starwalt said the people involved had indicated they
would be present at the meeting. He said there was talk of an agreement for the
four lots belonging to Mr. Thielmann being sol� to the developer to be contained in
the development. He said they had not worked out the details concerning the costs
and other things. He said this proposal would a11ow Woodside Court to continue into
the- plat rather than be dead ended at this time, i�r. Thielmann seemed satisfied
with this arrangement, but the documents had not been prepared at that time.
The City Manager went�on to explain the second area of concern being an extension
of 6lst Avenue to the west. He said there had been a]ot split granted in this area
creating a parcel which was owned by different people. The City'Manager placed a
plan of the proposed plat on the overhead projector and explained this is the staff
recommendation for the overall development of the area, and it would provide adequate
access to the back Tots, create better utilities if the lots are split and create
access to the lot wfiich had already been split. He said there is one lot split and the
Council would be bound to provide access, if not legally, morally. He again pointed
out that the plan being shown was the ultimate plan for the area, and this plan,
if not followed immediately, could be achieved in the future depending on the time
table of development of the area. (The plan extended the roadway beyond the section
line and created a cul-de-sac on the far westerly properties.)
Councilman Utter said he had talked to the people of the area and they did not want
the road to go through as shown on the plan being viewed. He said they preferred
the plan where the development would onty extend to the section line with a cul-de-sac
installed there. He suggested the remainder of the property could be put into
outlots, and could be developed in the future. He suggested the Council listen to the
cor►unents of tk�e people of the area who were property owners in the westerly section.
Councilman Utter said the man who owns the lot which had been split is in St. Cloud,
or someplace, and the people of the area attending the meeting would favor stopping
the road access at the section line.
Councilman Utter continued to explain there had been unusual circumstances concerning
the approval of the lot split. He explained the property owner had originally applied
for the split at the City, and the City had turned down the request. After this, he
continued, the property owner went to the County, and the County split the property,
Then, the original owner, Mr. John E. Peebles, sold the southerly section of the
' property to Mr. Stan Davis. When Mr. Davis was in the process of selling the
property, he was made aware of the lot split that had not been approved by the City,
and which he did not know existed at the time of the purchase of the property.
Councilman Utter continued explaining, Mr. Davis.had come to.the Council ihe week
he planned to move out of town and requested the split from the City be granted .
to clear the title of the property before its sale to Ms: Elaine Brown. Councilman
Utter stated, Mr. Davis required obtaining the split before he could move out of
the City.
The City Manager referred to the plan with the extension of 61st avenue to serve
the split lot and said the City had approved this plan years ago. This plan had
been approved by the Planning Comnission and the Council. He explained the lot
split request had come up at the May 21, 1973 meeting during the visitor's section.
Councilman Starwalt said it was his understanding that there had not been any
final approval on the plat,pNeviously. �ouncilman Utter explained the Planning
Corrrnission had approved and recommended the plan• to stop the development of the area
at the section line, the Council had not taken any action on. the plat. He pointed
out this plan to be on page 3-B of the current agenda. •
Councilman Starwalt said there would be three property owners affected by the assess-
ments if the roadway and utilities were continued by extending 61st Avenue, He stated,
all of the property owners to the south and the developer favor the plan to extend
61st, Councilman Starwalt felt this plan wouid save money for the people of the area
whoes lot� extended to this parcel, in the long run.
The City Manager said the four lots on the south of the road have been split and
platted. •
Councilman 8reider asked how the assessments on the property such as this would
be figured. .

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH ]8, 1974 Page 5
The Finance Director, Marvin C. �runsell, said if the property were split and the
, utilities were installed, the City would assess both sides. He explained in this
instance, the benefit to the property owner would b� figured as if someday they
�would be splitting the property for development and this would be a normal rate
because there is enough area for the construction of a dwelling on the back portion.
� He further explained, this would not be so if there was not enough area for a
second structure, because it would be determined there would be no benefit to the
'� property owner, he would not be able to construct the second. He said this would
concern the specia7 assessments, the taxes may not be raised by the split,
,
Councilman Breider asked if the full rate would be assessed for the back street
assessment and the Finance birector said it would be.
� Councilman Breider said it was possible that the property owners would not sp7it
' �j the property in the future, and v�ou)d receive no benefit from the installation of the
! improvements. 7he �ity Manager said if the property is large enough to b�i7d another
� .house, the property would be assessed.
�JI
�
'
�
'
'
>
The City Attorney said if the property involved had improvements installed on the
front and back, and the size of the property would not permit the construction of
another house, there wou]d be some consideration because this wou]d not benefit the
property owner. He stressed, this case is different than the cases where the property
owner wou7d not be able to build on the back portion.
Councilman Utter said east of the section line, there is property dedicated for the
roadway and west of the line, there is no dedication for the right of way. He said
the City wou7d have to condemn the property to gain the right of way because he knew
the people would fight this dedication.
Mayor Liebl asked the City Manager what his recammendation from the Engineering
standpoint would be. The City Manager repeated, as recommended two to three years
ago, and the City had hired a planner to determine, and as was approved by the
Council at that time, the roadway should extend to the westerly section of the
property in question. He explained the construction of the complete roadway would
not have to be done at this present time, but if this is put off, the people of �
the area would have to pay the construction costs and these wou7d rise substantial7y
as time goes on. He said there was no question about which was the best p7an, the only
question would be how much should be done at the present tirne. He said if the
construction would be done all at one time, this woald be less expensive for the
property owners.
The City Manager said if the property owners want to pay the additional cost for the
development of the area in the future, the choice should be given to them. He
pointed out to the Council that they had adopted the plan he proposed and if they
did not want this plan at the present .time, this could be rescinded. He said if the
plan were approved at this time, a temporary cul-de-sac could be installed east of
the section line, but his would be quite expensive on a temporary basis. He said the
additional deve]opment in the f;�ture would be a sma]1 area and very expensive with the
constant rising cost of development. He said the people should be given their choice.
Mrs. Charles Rice, 1541 Ferndale Avenue, asked what happened to the plan the Council
had seemed to favor the previous week. The City Manager said the plan being proposed
does the same thing as the plan of the previous meeting. He said this would allow
a plan to provide for access in future development of the area. He said the f9rst
plan worked for the•same conclusion in the future. He said the question would be
to do the work now or stage the construction.
' Mayor Liebl said the construction of the cul-de-sac on the temporary basis would
be very expensive. The City Manager said the staging could provide for a dead end
roadway at the section line with the installation of an area 7arge enough for
maintenance equipment to turn around in.
'
'
,
Councilman Starevalt repeated the area people did not favor the instal]ation of the
roadway at the present time because they were concerned about the costs involved,
and when the assessments would be payable. �
The Finance Director said the assessments would be on the tax rolls in ]976 or 1977.
Mr. Larry Lembke, 1505 Ferndale Road, asked when he wouid be receiving notice of payment
for the assessments installed in the front of his home. He explained these improvements
had just been installed the previous year and he had not received a statement for them.

REGULAR COUNGIL MEETING OF MARCH 18, 1974 Page 6
He said if this were approved, he would have to pay the assessments for the front
and the back at the same time.
Councilman Utter said the proposed improvement would be estimated at $4,000 for
Mr. Lembke's property, for the back improvements.
P4r. Lemb�:e said since he had moved into the home, he would be paying a total of
$6,000 in special assessments. Councilman Breider said this improvement would
include water, se��er and paving of the street, which is expensive because a raw cut
of the previously undeveloped area would have to be made. He added, this would also
take care of the installation of the curbing and this type of constructibn adds up
the costs rapidly.
A resident of the area asked if this installation would include the storm sewer.
He said he had been hooked on the separation of the improvements once before..
He said the City had asked him to dedicate 30 feet of his property for right
of way. He said he would do this anyday, but he would not agree to this if aftera
� he had given the property to the City he would in turn receive a$4,000 specia7
assessment levy for this. Councilman Starwalt said he had talked to Mr. Arel
about this.
The City Manager said it would be possible for the area people to dedicate the
right of way, and the City would only construct the roadway to the section line.
He said it would be possible to do noihing in the other area at the present time.
� He said the area property owners cou7d develop the area in the future at additional
expense. He stressed the importance of informing the people that this would be
more expensive in the future because this had happened in the past and the people
protest the high cost of the development when others assessments are lower. He
said the people have indicated they would not split their land, but this type.
of statement is made all of the time with the property soon being split.
He repeated, later on when the improvements are requested, they would be expensive.
He suggested adopting.the complete plan for the area and installing a temporary
cul-de-sac, and obtaining temporary easement from the developer. The City Manager
continued in the future, if four out of six people of the area request the improvement,
it would be installed.
A resident of the area stated if he would give the City the right of way for the
extension of 61st Avenue, they would install the improvements, because they would
then have control of the property.
Councilman Starwalt said if it is necessary to obtain the right of way through
condemnation,_ the cost of the condemnation would be assessed back to the property
owners.
Mr. Charles Rice said he thought the construction of the road was for the sole
purpose of access for Mr. Peebles, regardless of the other four people affected.
Ne said Mr. Peebles had not attended the meetings or expressed his thoughts. -
Councilman Starwalt said he had talked to the Browns and they had been in contact
with Mr. Peebles, and Mr. Peebles does not object to the insta7lation of the improve- .
ments. '
Mrs Charles Rice addressed the Council and said she did not want the roadway and
improvements installed on the back portion of the property. She.stated she had
purchased the property because of the location and the large parcel. She went on,
if she wanted to live on a square parcel adjacent to and back to back from another
home, she would not have bought this property. She said they had bought the property
because they wanted breathing room. She again said this is why she had bought the
property, which was in excess of normal size properties. She stated this was
getting her down, Sh� asked the Council what the City expected of people.
Councilman Breider said he did not believe the extension of the roadway and �
improvements for the people of the area to gain two accesses to their property !
for the total of $6,500 plus the interest at 7q for 20 years would be feasible. He f
questioned the profit margin in this type of arrangement. He said he would agree with
the area people to a large extent. He said he did not believe if they wanted large lots, '
they should be forced to split them just to gain the money to pay for the special f
assessments. He said over a 20 year period, this would be a great deal of money. ,
Mr. l.embke said he had paid $4,000 extra for the property because of the large size.
Ne stated, three of the area people opposed the improvements�and one favored them.

He explained, the people residing on the hill also opposed the improvements. He
added, they did not want the arfditional traffic.
Idayor Lieb7 questioned what would be done with the portion of the plat�dealing
with the Thielmann property when he did not attend the meeting. Councilman
Starwalt said he wou]d recommend continuation of the roadway in this area.
Counci)man Utter said he did not feel the question on Woodside Court could be resolved
that evening, but he felt the issue on 67st should be so the area property owners
wou]d not have to attend another meeting.
MOTION by Councilman Utter to approve the plan for the plat in the 61st Avenue
area as shown on page 3-B of the agenda with the plat and improvements ending at the
section ]ine. Seconded by Councilman Nee. '
The City Manager said this would leave only two buildable lots in this section of
the p}at because the cul-de-sac takes up the only portion of buildable property on
the other two lots. Councilman Utter said he thought there could be four lots i�i
this area. The City Manager stressed, these would not be buildabTe lots because of the
elevations of the area.
Councilman Breider asked why the lots could not be extended back to make them buildable.
The City Manager said there is a very steep hill in this area and the terrain is very
' difficult. ,He said the only buildable portion of the property would be where the
cul-de-sac would be installed. Councilman Utter questioned if the cui-de-sac would
take up this much area. The City Manager said the City's standard size cul-de-sac
is a 100 foot circle.

Mayor Liebl asked the City Attorney if the Council could deny the man access and
egr.ess. The City Attorney said the lot was land locked at the time the split was
granted, and there had never been any access. He continued, the City is not der�ying
the man something he once had.
Counciiman Utter asked Mayor Liebl to call for the question,

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 18, 1974 Page 9
The City Manager.said there was a representative of the sign company which would
be installing the signs present to represent the petitioner, Mr. Charles Peugh,
Signcrafters, Inc.
Mr. P�ugh presented the Council with a colored picture of a sign which he explained
to be an exact drawing of the emergency sign proposed. He said the signs were
proposed for the south entrances to the hospital to identify the route to the
emergency entrances to the Hospital. He continued to explain that the sign
had been presented to the Board of Directors at the Hospital and they determined
the need for the sign, lie also explained the addition of the gold•colored trimming
on the sign which was to add eye appeal.
Mayor Liebl asked Mr. Peugh if the installation of the signs would allev.iat'e�:i�e:,
problems in the area. He stated it is difficult for the people entering the
hospital to find the emergency entrance. •
Mr. Peugh agreed, saying there are three roads entering the hospital and when
people are dealing with an emergency situation, they do not want to waste any
time looking for the proper entrance. He said there is a problem with the
currently being used smaller signs because they get buried in the snow and
cannot be seen.
Mayor Liebl asked the ��r. Peugh if the signs being proposed would be lighted
directional signs. t�r. Peugh explained they would be lighted from the inside
of the sign. He said the sign had been designed of material which would take �
no maintenance and retain its pleasant appeal. He said the exterior material
is sturdy enough to be hit with a ha�ner and not be broken.
Councilman Breider said there are lights on the MTC shelter across the street,
and he did not believe the installation of the directional signs would be
a detriment to the area.
(�OTION by Cauncilman Utter to grant the variance for the directional emergency
entrance signs to Unity Hospital from six feet to 75 square feet. Seconded by
Councilman Breider.
Councilman Starwalt questioned the size of the sign and asked if the sign needed
to be as large as the proposal to take care of the problem. Mr. Peugh explained
when you are in the area, you are looking for the emergency signs, a ten foot
sign would not allow the sign to be.seen for too great a distance. He stressed
the sign would have to be larger to do a good job.
Councilman Starwalt said he was hoping someone from the hospital would have
been present at the meeting to express their views.
Mr. Peugh said this was the job of the sign erector. He said it was a part of the
original agreement between his company and the hospital.
Mr. Peugh said the hospital felt ihe sign company knows their business and it had
been determined that someone would have to represent the• Hospital at the various
meetings at the City, and it had been determined at the outset of the proposal
that this would be up to the sign company. He explained that the size of the
lettering of the sign would have to be seen for at least a block away from the
signs, and according to actual sight tests, this is the size of sign and size of
lettering that would be required to identify the entrances from this distance.
Councilman Utter asked if the members of the Nospital Board had approved the
installation of the sign and also the need for the sign being proposed. Mr. Peugh
said this was correct, they had taken action to install the sign.
Councilman Starwalt asked at the time the action was taken an d the installation '
of the sign was discussed with th� sign contractor, did the Hospital Board know
this type of sign and size of sign wouTd need a variance from the City. Mr. Peugh
said yes. He added, the Board knew it would take an apprearance at the Board
of Appeals and also the City Council, and this was to be a part of the sign
contractors duties in the installation, ;
UPON A VOICE VOTE, Mayor Liebl voting aye, Councilman Utter voting aye, Councilman
Nee voting aye, Councilman Breider voting aye, Councilman Starwalt abstaining,
Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried. . .

Councilman Starwalt said he would like to make it a matter of record he had
not abstained from the vote because he opposed the construction, he was disturbed
that no�representative from the Hospital was present at the meeting.
The City Attorney said he thought it should be a matter of record that the
petitioner had also requested the installation of the larger sign (Sign #1 in
the minutes of the Board of Appeals meeting)�this request had not been continued
at the Council meeting.

RECEIVING REPORT FROM MAYOR LIEBL RcGARDING aPPERR.ANCE BEFORE THE ENVIRONMENTAL
QUALITY COUNCIL ON NORTH PARK REUIEW:
ANU
CONSIDERATION OF PREPARATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STATEMENT FOR NORTH PARK
G F GOURSE:
Mayor Liebl said the Report had been prepared by the Administration after his request
that they do so. He said it had been a unznimous vote of the Environmental Quality
Corarnission that an assessment be submitted to the Council, and he believed the City
should submit the statement as the Council had requested. �
MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the statement from Mayor Liebl regarding
the appearance made before the Environmental Quality Council on the North Park
review. Seconded by Councilman Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye,
i�layor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
Councilman Breider asked the difference between the impact statement and the
assessment statement.
T��e City Manager said the Council basically wanted an assessment statement that
would include the u*ilization of the property surrounding the site and aiso a prel-
inary plan for the development of the area. He said this �,vould not be a detailed
impaci statement with the determination of each species of tree and the effect on
the area if it was changed in any way.
The City Manager said the City Council would have to determine if they wanted to
proceed with the preparation of the assessment statement and the preparation of a
preliminary plan for the development of the�golf course. He said he believed the
Council would need a plan of the area to assess the development. He said the
Council would not be assessing the plan, but would be assessing the impact of the
plan. .
Councilman Breider recalled the City Council had already directed the Administration
to prepare such a preliminary plan. The City Manager said presently the Administration
was working on an ayreement with the consultant for the preparation of such a plan.
He pointed out to the Council that there is a 45 day time limit on the preparation
and submission of the assessment statement to the Environmental Quality Council.
He said the question at the present time would be that the preparation of such a
statement would cost a considerable amount. He said it would be up to the Council
to determine what amount of money should be spent on the statement. He said if
the �ouncil would authorize this, the Administration would go ahead and prepare
the needed statement. He said the preliminary plan should be approved by the Council
prior to submission to the Environmental Quality Commission.
Mayor Liebl said the Council had directed the Administration to prepare the preliminary
plan and also directed them to hire a naturalist. Mayor Liebl said it would be poss-
ible for Brauer and Associates to prepare such a plan.

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 18, 1974 Page 11
i�lr. Don Brauer, Brauer and Associates addressed the Council and said this would be
possible, but the time limit of 45 days would not leave the firm much time to
involve the community .in the preparation of the plans or much time to work with
the natura]ist to obtain his views of the overa7l p7an. He stated, 45 days is not
enough time. �,e said it would be possible to ask the Council for an eztension.
Mayor Liebl explained his attendance at the EnvironmentaT Quality Council meeting
saying the Council approved their bylaws just five minutes before they considered
the matter of the petition submitted concerning the North Park area. He said it
was also a matter of rules that the petition was to be answered in the period of
45 days and this had not been answered for 60 days. He stated the Environmental
Quality Council should live up to their own rules, before te]]ing the Gity what
to do. He said this action was taken after all the various community groups had
taken action on the matter. He said the Impact Statement had not been required at
this time, only an assessment statement.
i Mr. Brauer said he had not had any experience with the Environmental Quality�Council
iin the. State of Minnesota, this is the first time anything had been brought before
� them. He said he did have some experience at the Federal level and he and the City
Manager had discussed this. �1r. Brauer said his original Brauer report could be
i submitted to the Federal Council and this would serve as an assessment statement,
but it has not been determined if this wuuld be sufficient in the State of Minnesota
Ne said he did not know if the plan of the insta7lation of .the buiiding5 and:the�°
I parking lots would be needed at this time. He said this would not be determined`
I in this area for some time, no one has submitted such a statement in the State of
Minnesota.
�t
,

'
'
Mayor Liebl recalled there had been 500 signatures on the petition to submit this
usage to the Environmental Quality Commission. He continued stating it would
be very simple to obtain a statement with the opposing view and another statement
wou]d have to be prepared. Ne mintioned the possibility of reviewing the petition
and�asking those who had signed it to prepare the assessment statement. He said
the total impact statement could be required and this could run up to $10,000 cost
to the City. He stated this could be detrimental to ihe entire program.
Mr. Brauer said the impact statement would be very expensive proposition and would
have to be done by the naturalist.
Councilman Breider suggested sending the 8rauer report as an assessment statement,
and if the Environmental Quality Council wou7d want more information, the City
could go from there. hiayor LIebl said the Brauer report did contain the factors
of community surroundings, which was a part of the position of recommendation,
MOTION by Councilman Breider to send the Brauer Report to determine if this would
be an adequate assessment statement. Seconded by Councilman Siarwalt.
The City Manager said it would be possible to proceed in this manner. He said
he would need some direction in the manner the Council wished him to move. He
said the City would take the risk by not giving them a detailed enough report.
It would be.possible for them to request additional materia7 which would have to
be sent within the alloted time period. He said this may further limit the time
for the preparation of the preliminary plan if it would be required later.
The City Attorney said the Brauer Report had already cost the City $11,000.
Councilman Breider said if the Council would request additional material later on,
the City would add more information.
7he City Manager said the termino)ogy is questionab7e. Councilman Sreider sa9d
the Brauer report has an impact and study of the whole area. '
The City Attarney stressed the importance of obtaining the wording of the actuaT
motion of the Environmental Quality Council. Fle asked if it would be possible
to obtain the minutes or a recording of the meeting. He said this should be
requested from the executive offices or the legal counsel of the group. He said
he would suggest some communication with the staff requesting this information
with the understanding that this would be helpful to the Cit,y in preparing the
necessary information. • •

REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING OF MARCH 18, 1974 Page 12
The City Attorney again mentioned the time limit of 45 days and questioned if this
45 days wouid begin-at the time the Environmental Quality Council directed the
preparation of such a statemeni. He commented it may be possible for the Council
to grant one extension to the City for the added amount of 15 days for the preparation
of the assessment statement.
Councilman Breider suggested sending the map prepared by the Parks and Recreation Oepartment
with the open space areas of the City indicated. Mayor Liebl said the Comprehensive
Plan should be submitted also.
The City Manager said some areas of advice would be needed from the Council on
whether the Administration was to proceed with pursuing the agreement for the prepar-
ation of the preliminary plan by Brauer and Associates. Ne said he had been instructed
to not proceed until the naturalist had been hired for the City staff. He mentioned
the City had obtained many applications with many people indicating good backgrounds.
The City Manager said he would like to wait for the advertisement for the naturalist
to appear in the municipal magazine in order to determine if there are any applicants
suited for the position from other areas in the state. He explained the advertise-
ment for this municipal publication had to be submitted to the publication a long time
before it appeared in print. He further explained this was to appear currently.
Councilman Breider questioned when the Administration would be completing the
process of recommending a person for the position of naturalist. The City Manager
said this could be done within another month. ' .
The City Manager said if an extensive study is required, he may be required to come
back to the Council for further direction. .
Councilman Starwalt questioned if there should be some dialogue with the staff at the
Environmental Quality Council before the report is sent to determine if this would be
the wishes of the Council. The City Manager again pointed out that this is the first
project of the Council and their first assessment statement, and he had talked.to the
staff.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
STATUS REPORT REGARDING HIRING OF A NATURALIST:
f�lOTION by Councilman Nee to receive the report from the City Manager regarding the
hiring of a naturalist dated March 14, 1974. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon
a voice vote, all voting aye, i�ayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
The City Manager said the City had received a large number of applications for the
position and would be able to proceed with the review of the app7ications, and just
wanted to let the Council know this information.
Mayor Liebl asked if there was any change in the Council's thinking on the hiring of
a naturalist. He asked the members of the Council individually if they would reaffirm
their position and approve the hiring of the naturalist. Counci7man Utter said he
felt as he did originally, and would want to.hire the naturalist. Councilman Breider
said he had not changed his mind and wanted the naturalist hired. Councilman Nee
said he was in the same position as he was originally. Councilman Starwalt said he
also felt the same about hiring the naturalist and he would recommend the hiring of
a part time summer student, bu� this was a cost factor, not opposition to the program.
Councilman Starwalt said the proposed program has many pros and cons and he had
serious questions about the worth of a naturalist in a full time position at this
time. Councilman Starwalt said he had talked with�Mr. Ken Sporre and he would
recommend the Council not go into this program at this time. He called on Mr. Sporre
to express his thought on the matter to the Council.
Mr. Ken Sporre said he believed it to be important to have a nature center before
the naturalist. He said this proposal would make as much sense as creating a golf
course in the City with one hole in each end of the City.
Mr. Peters addressed the Council and questioned obtaining the services of a naturalist
to take care of the golf course when the City did not have the golf course at the
present time. He said some money could be saved by delaying the hiring of the
naturalist,
Pir. Adolph Kukowski, addressed the Council and said he felt this would be a waste

of money at the present time. He said he could not see the naturalist sitting
in City Hall, he should have an area of use. He said with no pian on the proposed
usage, there would be a waste of money by the hiring of the naturalist.
Councilman Breider disagreed stating he had talked to a few naturalists and each
of them have a plan for a program for the City of Fridley. He said this could be
done in this manner without the formation of the specifics and allowing the person
to formulate the program, he is the expert. Ne questioned how a good program cou]d
be prepared without the involvement of a naturalist. He said the area of usage
would have to be studied by the naturalist to obtain the greatest possibility of
usage of the site. He said planning without the naturalist could greatly hinder
the possible use of the site and also hinder the construction.
Mr. Peters suggested hiring a local naturalist who would be familiar with the
natural features of the area and their changes through the seasonal changes.
Mr. Thon�as Sullivan, addressed the Council and said the City could always use a '
naturalist, and this would be at any time. He said the naturalist would be needed
to determine the scope of the program in North Park. He said if the decision on the
utilization of the area would be determined to be a nature center, there may be
a need for the addition of another naturalist. He stated he would not want the
Council to use the hiring of a naturalist to take the place of the installation
of the nature center in the City.
Mr. Dennis Schneider, addressed the Council and said the City is eventually going
to need the services of a naturalist, it should save what natural features it can
save now. He said he believed the City should hire the naturalist at the present
time.
Councilman Starwalt said there had been no appropriations made for the naturalist
in the 1974 budget, and where would the City draw the line. He said it all comes
out of the citizens' pockets and there have been some priorities set. He added,
the position of the naturalist would require a committment of payment of $18,000
for the remainder of the year. He questioned if this shou]d be taken from the Park
Budget or Should the City allow the mill levy to raise. He questioned if the money
should be spent at the present time and whether or not this wou7d be good for the
people of Fridley at the present time.
Mr, Sullivan said if the matter of the possibility of the necessity to prepare the
impact statement is assessed, the naturalist would have to do the study and he
could spend this time preparing far this and familiarizing himself with the area.
He continued stating it would take some time to assess a parcel of this size and
he believed the position would generally be good for the City.
Councilman Breider said he had talked to people who had visited the North Park area
because they have heard about all of the natural characterists and animals, and
the people are unable to find any animals in North Park. He stressed the Council
had decided what they were going to do and it would not help them get there with
the further discussion of the present meeting. He stated, they would have to get
there someday.
Councilman Utter said at one time the Park and Recreation Director was only a part-
time position and the program did not expand to a fuil time program until the fu77-
time director was hired, He said this was the same situation with the Fire Department.
He corronented, the same would apply to the nature program, there would have to be
full-time leadersh9p for an adequate full-time program. He stated the only way
to achieve this would be to hire the naturalist. k
Mayor.Liebl repeated his question of the members of the Council on their position
on hiring a naturatist and the consensus was there had not been a change.
Mayor Liebl directed the City Manager to proceed with the necessary process to
make a recommendation to the Council for the person to be hired as a naturalist.
Councilman Breider stressed there should be a time table set for this to be brought
back for Council consideration; he asked if a month would be adequate time to
complete the review procedure. The City Manager said the advertisement was just
appearing in the League Magazine at the present time and this would appear in al]
of the municipalities in the State. He again pointed out that the copy for the
advertisement had to be submitted by the 15th of the previous month to appear in the
upcoming publication.

Councilman Breider asked when this would be brought back to the Council. He
suggested April 15th. He said this would be the third meeting in April and the
City Manager agreed to this.

FOR GOLF COURSE AND COPY OF PROPERTY GREEMENT BETWEEN MAC AND RICHFIELD:
f40TI0N by Councilman Starwalt to receive the communication from the Metropolitan
Airport Commission regarding the land for golf course and the copy of the property
agreement between MAC and Richfield. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice
vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
The C9ty Attorney pointed out that the agreement appeared to have a straight line
depreciation and they would be able to take the property back. Dlayor Liebl read
the portion of the agreement aloud to the Council and audience.
Mr. Ken Sporre, addressed the Counci] and questioned the term of the recapture
clause and the terms and amounts of the rental. Councilman Breider said the rental
would be based on the gross after the bonds were paid. Councilman Nee said this
means the rental would be a percentage of the profit. He explained if money is made
on the golf course� MAC would make money. He said it is a very long document.
Mr. Sporre asked what would happen if within the 25 year lease program, the Airport
Commission wished to take the property back. Councilman Nee believed then they
would pay the City. Mayor Liebl asked if they would pay up the remaining bond.
Councilman Breider said there would be no approval to bui7d on the property unless
the plans were reviewed by the Commission for lighting and landscaping, etc.
Mayor Liebl pointed out that this would be within another City and the Gity of
Fridley would also have to be responsible to their wishes and regulations. He
added, this would require a three governmental agreement.
Mrs. LeeAnn Sporre addressed the Council and stated when Councilman Leo Anderson
of Blaine talked to the Council, he asked the City of Fridley to tell the City of
Blaine what they were proposing and Blaine would answer all of the questions
needed.
Mayor Liebl stated he would not ask, he would not spend the citizen's money in
another community. He said if there would be any money made it would have to be
given to the City of Blaine and the Metropolitan Airport Commission.
Mrs. Sporre said she thought the City of Fridley should do some negotiating and
determine what the situation would be.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.
RECEIVING THE INTERIM REPORT ON LIQUOR OPERATION:
Mayor Liebi noted that the Li�quor Store Manager, Mr. Bob McQuire was present.
Mr. McGuire addressed the Council and said the stock in the•East River Road Store
would be removed the following day.
Mayor Liebl asked if the staffing costs would be decreased by this action. He asked
if the liquor stores could be maintained and operated with two fu71 time employees
with the remainder of the employees being part time.
Mr. McGuire said this would be possible with two full time people in each store and
some part time help. Councilman Starwalt asked if this would mean adding part time
help or retaining the part time help now employed for th•is work. Mr. P�cGuire said
he would keep the people he has now and still use their services. Councilman Starwalt
said, then, they were not talking about replacing any full time people with part
time people. Mr. McGuire said this would be correct.
Mayor Lieb1 asked if there would be enough people in the store to take care of the
people at the peak hours. Mr, McGuire said he had talked to the City Manager concerning
the hiring of carry out boys, which wo�ald aid in the customer aid and allow the clerks
to continue at the cash registers. Councilman Utter said he believed the regular
employees could take care of the carry out needs. Mr. McGuire said he had cut the
staffing of the store down to two people at the present time. Counci]man Utter suggested
someone be hired to stock the shelves, ioost of the time, they are out of many items.

� Mr. McQuire �said they try to keep the stock on the shelves, and he thought this had been
done recently. He added, the Council would have to take into consideration that at
times, they are out of stock also.
Councilman �tter said he thought the peopTe at the cash registers would need proper
orientation to be able to keep the shelves in order and continue to run the cash
registers when needed,
�
Councilman Nee said he thought the idea of hiring carry out boys would be a big `
help especially for the women shoppers. He said the people taking care of the �
counter would be paid more to carry out parcels than the carry-out boys wuuld.
councilman Utter agreed with this point.
Mayor Liebl stated Councilman 8reider had asked the Administration to come up with
a plan to obtain 12% profit, if this could not be done, the City of Fridley should
get out of the liquor business. Mayor Liebl said this is what the peop7e had been
telling.him and this is the information he would like to relate to the Liquor
Store Manager. •
Councilman Breider said he thought the closing of the store plus the reduction of
some of the staff wouid bring about a higher profit. Councilman Breider said he
thought five full time employees would be sufficient to staff the stores and
during the busy hours, the part time peo�le cou]d be emp7oyed. He said this would
�� be a reduction in the labor costs with the majority of enefits goin to the full
time people. 'Councilman Breider said the City has its back against the wall, tney
� did not want to cut staff, but they were being forced to. He said he thought the
action reported in the report to be a good start in reducing the losses.
MOTION by Councilman Utter to receive and concur in the interim report from the
City Manager on the ]iquor operation, Seconded by Counci7man Breider. Upon a
voice vote, all voting aye, r1ayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.

Auto Listings. He stated it had been determined that the Fridley operation had
not been involved, he further explained the operations capital was under the
trusteeship of the Fridley State Bank to assure proper operation.
The City Attorney said the recommendation of the Administration would be to issue
the license for the period of three months to assure the City the operation is
clean and the Attorney Genera� does not take any further action to prohibit their
actions. He said the opertion could be reviewed at the end of that period of
'time to determine if it is a proper operation. He suggested the Council include
the stipulation that the physical development of the property whieh was to be done
by American Auto Listings be done by Dapathal, Inc. He said after the period of
three months, if tne physical work has been completed and the operation proves
itself to the City, and the Attorney does not prohibit the operation, the City could
extend the 7icense.
Mr. Alstrup said the State License had been revoked and reissued to the new partner-
ship after it had been determined there was no involvement by the Fridley location.

ALLEY BETWEEN ELM AND MAIN STREETS (78TH TO 79TH):
, The City Manager said the purpose of the improvement would be to ailow access to the
building 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 Liebl asked if there was anyane 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 alley.
The City Manager said the area developer is committed to having the alley improved,
78TH AVENUE: ALLEY TO RAILROAD RIGHT-OF-WAY: ,
The City Manager provided a map of the proposed improvement on the overhead projector
and said the Courcil had reviewed the area in conjunction with the vacatiorr of some
easements and also for the preliminary approval. of a foundation,permit. The City
Manager said this improvement would affect Mr. Zeis's property to the north and Mr.
Houser's property to the south.
Coancilman 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
i would extend to the cul-de-sac. Councilman Starwalt questioned if this portior�-�of
� roadway would total an expenditure of $16,144 for the completion of the street.

PUBLIC HEARING MEETING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1974

Mr. Richard Carlson, Park Construction Company, said he would have an assessment of
$12,995. He explained when their facilities had been constructed, the access and
a,�ess was pl�anned and installed in a different area. Mr. Carlson 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 objects 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 the staff and this was in
]ine with the policy the City 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 construction of five buildings. He stated the Council would
have to make a deternination on the insta U ation 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 did not make any difference if the
property was larger or smaller, the determining factor would be the amount of front
footage.
Mayor Liebl stated �ihis 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 improvements 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.
Councilrwan 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 af 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 could be discussed
at the assessment hearing.
MOTION by Councilman Breider to close the Pubiic Hearinq. Seconded by Councilman
Starwalt. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried

PUBLIC HEARING ON WATER, SANITARY SEWER AND STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENT PROJECT N0. 114,
DDENDUM N0. 1: -
MOTION by Councilman Breider to waive the reading of the Public Hearing notice and
open the Public Hearing. Seconded by Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting
aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously, and the Public Hearing opened
at 8:01 p.m.
The City Manager sa-id 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 Af 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 parcel 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 determined 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. Ne 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 Construction, and the Company never intended to build in that area. He said
there is nvthing 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 Hearing. Seconded by Councilman
Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried
unanimously and the Public Nearing closed at 8:06 p.m. ,
REQUEST FOR TRANSFER OF AMERICAN LEGION LICENSES FROM PRESENT LOCATION TO 1315 RICE
CREEK ROAD:..MR. HENRY PETERS0�1:
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 ]eaking through to their operation. He said
the new location would be within the complex of the newly constructed 7-11 Store an
Rice Creek Road and Old 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 place.
Mr. Peterson requested that the Council give some indication on the feasibility
of transferring the licenses to 1315 Rice Creek Road. ,
MO7ION 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. He said if
this is done, the City would issue the license, but the matter would still have tQ
come back to the Council for formal and final approval. He said the. next meeting
would be two weeks from the present meeting.

Mr. Peterson said the tegion would have ta be out of the present facility by the
first of the month. .
Councilman Starwalt said if the Council wauld 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 lease 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
problems when it is brought back for Council approval.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried unanimously.

IDERATION OF A REOUEST TO CONSTRUCT SPECULA7IVE BUILDINGS
TED ON LOTS 1-12
� , . , ---
The City Manager said this was the request for the cor�struction of the five
buildings which had been discussed previously. He added, the Subcommittee had
recomnended 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 he would want to make sure the man was aware that he would be
responsible for the proper amount of assessments on this property. He 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.
Ne said if the Council would let the.policy prevail, Mr. 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 �ity 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 i�nprovement would.pay equally. He said.in this �
case, other factors do exist which would prove the other property owner would not
have an equal benefit because he has an other access to his property. He 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.

Councilman Utter.
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 should be. He said he would like the developer to be «ware
that he may be responsible for more of the assessment.
UPON A VOICE VOTE, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion carried

R D. E., FRIDLEY, MINNESO : `
The City Manager pointed out that this proposed construction would be an j

recommended approval of the request with the stipulations 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. . i
The City Manager placed the plan for the construction on the'easel. Mayor
Liebl asked if the construction would be � continuation 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 called
for 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 plans would be deveioped to allow a continual effect in the addition •
canstruction. �

IDERATION OF A REOUEST TO CONSTRUCT AN APARTMENT COMPLEX LOCATED ON THE
H
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 this would be a rather large 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 pian on the easel for the proposed elevations.
He recalled the Cauncil 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
approd•al of the request with the 11 stipulations listed, The City Manager
commented he assumed the developer would like to proceed through the proper
channels and receive the additional variances which may be required before
the construction of the complex.
Councilman Breider listed 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
MilTer, resident of the area, if he agreed with the proposal.
Mr. Arvil Miller addressed the Council and said if this p°oposal was the same
as.presented and agreed upon at the Subcommittee meeting, he would concur in
it. He 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. Mr. Miller indicated he was the only area resident present.
The City Manager said Mr. Rudolph Dante and Mr. Richard Reese, Wall Corporation,
and Mr. Jerry @�ardman, Planning Assistant, City of Frid]ey, were present
at the meeting.
Mayor Liebl said the proposal had not 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 stiputations of the Subcommittee. Mayor Liebl read the stipulatians 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•Liebl questioned the item listed where parking was not suffiGient. 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. He 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 Corporation pay their fair share of
�his construction cost. Mr. Dante said this would be agreeable: �

Councilman Starwalt questioned.the possibility of the installation of foot
paths for foot traffic of the area. Mr. Dante said this point had been
discussed and he had determined it would not be feasible for the installation
of the foot paths through the residential properties. He said thTS 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 with the thought of the Wall Corporation.
Mr. Dante said this had been talked about at the previous meeting of the Council
and the Subcommittees and it had been determined b,� these bodies that this
installation would not be feasible. He said Councilman Starwalt could review
the minutes of the meetings and this would be proven.
Councilman Utter asked Mr. Dante if he agreed with the 11 stipulations and Mr.
Dante indicated he agreed.

. children to play on apparatus, so they do not wander to the residential
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 nct believe the installation of the tot lot would be necessary.
He added, if the prospective residents would look at the tot lot, they would
believe that the complex was for children, and the Wall Corporation is not looking
for_the children in the complex. He said he would appreciate if the Council would
not add this stipulation. �

Councilman Nee suggested the stipulation on the tot lot be modified to state,
"a tot lot would be installed by the Wal.l Corporation for the apartment compiex
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 complex may want
someplace for their children to be occupied. -
Mr. Dante again stressed this would draw people with children to the complex.
He said he would not want it suggested this would be a facility for children.
Mrs. Pat Brennen, addressed the Council and asked if children like tennis are
a passing fancy. She said she would not like the Council to encourage the
construction of another complex which wou}d not allow couples with children.
She said this creates an undesirable situation for the community 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 pedestrian 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 residential 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 sidewalks created around the perimeter of th�parcel where the resi-
dential properties would be, these assessments would be 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 Councilman Starwalt.
Councilman Utter said he had made the motion, and he would not allow this addition
to the original motion. �

DISCUSSION R�GARDING REPORT FROM CITY M.4NAGER OPd NATURALIST'S JOB DESCRIPTION AND
PRELIMINAR BUUGET FOR NATURE INTERPRETI E P OGR F R 9:
Mayor Liebl referred to the list of 14 duties and responsibilities and stressed
an individual should be sought who will create and enhance this kfnd 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 would
like to know if a nature interpretive directar had ever been hired without a base,
to conduct a program throughout a City. He said he would like an Administrati�n 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 referring 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 Liebl said the City was to initiate a new program with a new concept. He
siated 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 wou]d like to see additional
information on paper on what has been done and how much it has cost.
��-1 ��
,�
, �
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. Ne said he would like some idea or discussion to prove the
amount is properly budgeted.
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. He suggested the County be contacted and determine if they would be interested
in sponsoring such a naturalist which wouTd 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.
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 thought 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 Fridley. ,
Councilman Nee said this was correct, but the staffing of this nature interpretive ',
I
program could be based in the Fridley,City area. He recalled there were�plans for the �

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 all on this program. Councilman Nee pointed out that the other SchoQl District
which had expressed interest would be within the County jurisdiction and would be
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 County sponsored.
Councilman Starwalt said he had not known what Councilman Nee intended to propose.
He said he had received many phone calls regarding this item the last few weeks.
Councilman Starwalt said he would propose that the City change the proposed amount
to $20,000, but limit the proposed program to just a six month program during the
sumner months. He said a graduate student could be utilized for this purpose of
time to develop the program. .
Councilman 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 fbr many activities all the year around. He mentioned that there could be
cross county skiing in the winter months along with snowshoing. He said this is
what the naturalist would be needed for and this would be needed the year around.
He said the City would not be able 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 should be
included in the planning of the facility. He stated the property would have to be
used for more than one activity. As a bare minimum, he thought the City should
hire one person for the remainder of the year.
The City Manager said he had laid out all of the information available from the
Twin Cities and State. Ne 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 dealings with the
naturalist's type of position and a very few areas in the vicinity which employ
naturalists. 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 full
fledged naturalist. .
Councilman Nee said all of the area naturalists have a base to work from. He added,
the City of Fridley is -talking about a naturalist with no base or a defused base.
Councilman Breider said he felt items number nine and ten on•the agenda would have
to be combined and discussed together if the proposal for combining the two programs
were to be follow2d.
Mayor Liebl said he would like the City's Financial Consultant, Ehler's and Associates,
to present their report. Mr. Seegar Swanson from Ehler's and Associates addressed
the Council. , •
Mr. Swanson referred to a letter from the Consultant firm of Ehler's and Associates
which was dated February 11, 1974 and advised the Counci'1 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 pledge 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. The 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 informdtion
for their review. He said it had �een determined as a conservative estimate thai the
course would need 40,000 rounds of golf per year or there would have to be a foursome

starting every 10 minutes during, the season to finance the bonds. He said this
was based on the course being in'operation from April 15 to October 15 of each year.
He said 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. He said tnis would provide a total of $170,000 annually for golfing fees.
He said they had figured 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 probably range from $75,000 to
$80,000 per year and this would bring the remaining sum to about $98,OOQ. He said
the amount of $90,000 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 62%. He said there would be a 3% discount and the City should not enter
into this beyond 20 years. _ .
Mr. $wanson stated with the yearly revenue produced at $90,000, it would be possible
for the City of Fridley to obtain $950,000 in gross revenue bonds at 6z% interest for
this time period.
Mr. Swanson continued his explanation of the report referring to page three of the
letter previously mentioned. He said with the total 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 cost
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 suqg�st not more than six months before the major contract. Mr. Swanson
explained 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. He 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 bonds. 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 not want to base the figures on a high estimate 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.
Councilman Nee asked if it would be a normal situation for some market research on
this type of project before it is done. He said he had a feeling that there is not
the demand for this type of facility. He 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. He 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.

PUBLIC HEARING MEE7ING OF FEBRUARY 11, 1974
PAGE 13
MOTION by Councilman Utter to receive the report from Ehler's and Associates on the
Gross Revenue Bonds f.or the construction of the golf course. Seconded by Coun cilman
Nee, Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl 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 architect. 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 naturalist to
review all possibilities to the plan on the North Park site in conjunction with the
golf course architect to create all possible uses at the one facility and, at the
same time, hire a golf course architect to prepare a preliminary plan only, and
report back to the Council with the preliminary plans when they are completed.
Seconded by Councilman Utt�r.
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 would want their own man on
staff .
Mr. Paul Brown, Director of Parks and Recreation, addressed the Council 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 asaistance to
other communities in the County.
Mayor Liebl stated the County had helped Coon Rapids. Mr, Brown continued, they are
1� king 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 Financial Consultant. He asked what would happen if the estimate
were off a few golfers every ten minutes. What lega7 right would a citizen have for
raising cane with the Financial Consultant in a faulty estamate.
Mr. Swanson addressed the Council and responded to the question by Mr. Seegar. He said
the figure of 40,000 rounds per year was used to plan the finances of the golf course.
He said there may be as many as 50,000 rounds because there may be more sunshine at .
times. He continued explaining there are a number of variables, but the finances
cannot be planned on the finest possible conditions, they a�ould have to be restricted
to cover the possibility of storms and other factors. He said the second part of Mr.
Seegar's question could be best answered by the City Attorney. _
The City Attorney said any group such as this consultant which would be doing work
for the City would be covered by errors and ommissions coverage.
Mayor Liebl 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 corrmunities and the planning of their goifi 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 Councilman Breider's Ward and she appreciated �
his position, trying to be nice to everyone. She� said she found this to be ludicrous, I
and that a proposing that a natural interpretive director would be working on a golf ;
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 Subcortenittee of the Metro Airport Commission had reached the '
decision to recommend to the Commission approval of the request if the City of Fridley ;
wants the site, but that this would be site number two. He said at the same time, they
had said they 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. Ne explained '•
this site would be on the southwest corner of the property. ' , �
Councilman Utter said he knew a member of the Cortunission who had told him he would
contact fiim if the Commission had taken any action on the matter and.he not heard from him.

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 Commission could 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.
j Councilman Nee said the staff at the Commission did not want to indicate whether or
' . � not there was approval of the request until the full Corronission 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. He said to this point, only formal action
has been taken by the Subcommittee.

Councilman Starvaalt asked if the City could request a formal interim report on the
request.
The City Manager stated the Council had requested him io 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 would be a continuous
• program, would it last three months, six months or would the program be continuous
or permanent. He asked if he was to emphasize the kind of idea Councilman Breider
had expressed for the planning of the golf course site with the architect. He
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 would
have to be some kind of budget. He said he needed more direction from the Council
before he cou1d try to find ihe right applicant.
Councilman Starwalt said he is not sure that the people of Fridley want a full
fledged naturalist 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 f�ir. Brauer had
obtained the services of two well known natura.lists in his report to the Gity of
Fridley, but where would the CIty find men that would be able and willing to devote
four months on a consultant basis to the City.
h1r, Brauer addressed the Council stating the last thing the City of Fridley would
need is a naturalist on the consulting basis. He sited an example to illustrate .
the impartance of starting a good team for the nature interpretive program by
hiring a good manager. He also stated the importance of abtaining someone permanent
who would have a commitment to the City of Fridley, not a commitnient 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 Lieb7 declared
the motion DEAD FOR LACK OF A SECOND.
UPON A ROLL CALL VOTE on the motion to 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 9n the selection of the architect that would do the preliminary planning
of the golf course. He added, it would not be fair to ask the men ta 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 facility. He said Brauer and Associates had been a
part of the community planning and he thought this would be an asset in the planning

of th� facility. ye said he thought this would be better than hiring someone who
had never taken part 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, He said
Mr. Brauer would 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 would be a waste of people's time if they had to
return.
Councilman 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 the importance of one firm doing the whole project.
Councilman Starwalt recalled when Mr. Brauer had been selected to do the initial
report, he had been questioned aboiit 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 would be hired promptly to aid in the planning. Seconded by
Councilman Utter.. Upon a voice vote, Coancilman Breider, Councilman Starwalt, Mayor
Liebl, and Councilman Utter voting aye, and Councilman Nee voting nay, Mayor Liebl
declared the motion 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.
The City Manager asked if the budgeted amount for the salary of the naturalist should
be changed from the $12,000 to $16,000 per year. Councilman Sreider said he would not
want to pin any restrictions on the possible acquisition of a naturalist because of
salary restrictions. He said he did not want to place a dollar 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 $16,000.

RECEIVING THE MINUTES OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION MEETING OF FEBRUARY 6, 1974:

RECEIVING REPORT FROM CITY ADMINISTRATION REGARDING V. F. W., 1040 OSBORNE ROAD N. E.:
Mayor Liebl questioned if the report should be received and a public hearing set on the
matter on a►^egular public hearing meeting of the Council.
Councilman Breider said he had a recom�nendation and he said he thought there should
be sctr;�e attention given the matter by himself. He stated the V. F. W. has done much
for the City of Fridley, but he would propose some plan be prepared for the alleviation
of the current problems. He suggested this matter be brought back to the Council in
the period of two weeks for consideration of the plan for the elimination of the
problems. He also suggested at the time of the consideration that a probationary
period be,set for from three to six months and if any further problems arise during,
this time period, the license would be suspended and the facility closed. He said
the operations could be reviewed at the end of the probationary period.
Mayor Liebl said he did not think the members, themselves, were the ones causing the
problems. He said this had only happened when the faci1ity is rented and it is the
third part causing the problems. �
Councilman Breider said he thought the membership did have some obligation to screen
the activities. He stated there is no problems with rentals at the Knights of Co1umbus
Hall. He stated, if the membership cannot police the activities, they should not rent
the ha}l. He said according to the report, there was no officer on duty at the time
the hall was rented and the trouble was recorded. He said the police officer should
present, this would be an offense in itself.
Councilman Nee questioned if there could be some sort of comparison made to the
operation of the other liquor establishments in the City at the time of the review
of the matter. He said he would hate to evaluate the V. f. W. only. He said this
may be a normal level of activity for some place that serves liquor.
The City Attorney said there should be a representative of the organization present
at the meeting when this solution is reviewed. .
MOTION by Councilman Breider to ask the Fridley V. F. W. to prepare a plan for the
Council consideration two weeks from now on the proposed method of solving the problems
at the club on Osborne Road and that the Administration request the officers of the
V. F, W, be prasent at that meeting two weeks from the present meeting. Seconded by
Councilman Utter. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the motion

CONSIDERATION Of SETTLEMENT PROPOSAL - SUBURBAN ENGINEERING, INC.:
Mayor Liebl �said he would recommend this action be continued until the City
Manager is present.
The City Attorney said he would agree with this recommendation, but he would not be
present at tMe next meeting of the Council, and would tike_ to explain to the Council

Consulting Engineers. He said there was an increase of the amount of work needed whic.h
increased costs of the project. He said there were $21,000 in additional costs. He

part of the consulting engineers. He said the City had not paid the increase cost price to
this point. He explained the City had been offered an out of court settlement by the
carriers of the Consulting Engineer's errors and ommissions insurance in the amount
of $5,000. He said he was not ready to recommend acceptance of this amount at this

Fridley Jaycees, dated February 27, 1974. Seconded by Councilman Utter.
Councilman Utter asked what type of sign the Fridley Jaycees were proposing for
Corr�nons Park. Mr. Young addressed the Council saying he had talked to Mr. Paul Brown,
Director of Parks and Recreation, and they believed the Commons Park area needed more
than a three by five plywood sign. He said a draftsman who is a member of the Jaycees,
was in the process of drawing up some possible plans for the sign. He pointed out
that there were many possible types and methods of construction of the proposed
sign. He explained one idea to be a sign incorporating a flag pole which would light
the Flag 24 hours a day. He explained there may be some problems with this type
of installation due to the energy crisis. He said the sign would be installed on
7th and 61st.
Councilman Starwalt commented that the project that the Jaycees were undertaking
instead of the presentation of the bus to the City (donation. of a fork lift truck
to RISE, Inc., Spring Lake Park) was a worthwhile undertaking, He stated.he believed
this would serve the community to more of an advantage than the donation of the
school bus.
Councilman Utter said he believed this decision had been made some time ago. He
added, he had talked to the members of the Jaycees about the possible donation of
a band stand at Moore Lake. Mr. Young repTied that he had talked to the people
of the area and there was quite.a difference of opinion of the utilization of the
area, He explained some people want the area improved and some want the area left
as it is. He said this usage may cause trouble with the people of the area.
Councilman Utter said the P�rk and Recreation Department had prepared a topographical
map of ihe area and this included the installation of a band stand, and also, some
walkways. Councilman Utter said he thought it would be nice to develop the area
according to this plan.

� MOTION by Councilman Breider to receive the letter from the Minneapolis, St. Paul,
Metropolitan Airports Commission, H. G. Kuitu, Executive Director, dated February 22,
1974, and instruct the Administration to contact the P�etropolitan Airports Commission
and ask what kind of recapture, lease, and preferential treatment the City of FridTey '
would be subject to and also, that a request be made to obtain information on the usage
� agreement between Richfield and the Metropolitan Airport Commission property. Seconded
by Counciiman Starwalt. �
� Councilman Breider said he would like the City Manager to call the Airports Corr�ission
� • f and obtain information on the recapture clause. He said he would also like the
� Commission's indication on the possible number of years for such a lease. He said
� this may.make a difference in the possibility of funding the golf course.
'
Mayor Liebl questioned if the City of Fridley should express this type of interest before
the intent to use the property is established, He questioned if first things should be
done first.
' Councilman Breider stated it would not be feasible to discuss the possibility of usage
of the property if the lease wou7d only be for the period of five years. He stressed
the imp�rtance of obtaining the details on the usage before any consideration is
given the proposal.
' � Councilman Nee said he assumed the recapture clause would be absolute privilage.
He said the City of Fridley would have to determine the risk involved. He added,
Richfield had done this. Councilman Nee stated he would not know the potential hazards.
He mentioned at the proposed site, Highway #10 would cut across the bottom. Councilman
' Nee said he had talked to an airport employee and he had indicated the possibility

He said he though� the people would be hesitant to invest money in another community.
he said he would not want to invest the money in another community until the peaple
of Fridley would indicate that this is what they want.
Councilman Breider said the questions proposed would have to be answered even if the
useage were put to a general election. He pointed out, a lot of people had promoted
this site as a altermative site, and the questions would have to be answered if the
present Council, or future Councils would make the decision. Ne said this would not
be a favorable alternative site if the lease could only be obtained for five years.
He said he thought the City owed it to those who had proposed the usage and those
at the Commission to obtain the answers.
Councilman Starwalt said he agreed with Councilman Breider and said the City should
ask these direct questions. He suggested getting back to the Commission on the
qaestions.
Mayor Liebl said he could not see the people of the City of Fridley wanting to
spend $900,000 to build a recreational facility in Blaine. He mentioned the energy
crisis, and the need for conserving energy, He stated the proposal should do

The City Manager explained the location of the proposed construction to be behind
'Beech Street and said this construction would be similar to the construction on
73rd and Central. He placed the plans of the construction on the easel. The
City Manager said the only question in the construction would be the staff's '
recommendation to the Subcommittee that the panels be of the same construction as the
remainder of the walls and that some areas be set in. He said this had besn discussed
by the Subcommittee and eliminated from the plans because of the extra cost involved.
The City Manager said he felt this would break up the lines of the structure with
no extensive expense to the deve,loper. �.

IVING REPORT ON THREE METROPOLITAN TRANSIT COMMISSION BUS SHECTERS IN THE CITY
AND
DISCUSSIOhi REGARDING MTC BUS SERVICE ON MISSISSIPPI STREET:
MOTION by Councilman Starwalt to receive the report on the three Metropolitan Transit
�ommission Bus Shelters in the City of Fridley dated February 28, 1974. Seconded by
Councilman Breider. Upon a voice vote, all voting aye, Mayor Liebl declared the
motion carried unanimously.
Counc�ilman Nee questioned the possibility of obtaining a commitment from MTC on the
future construction of bus shelters, and also the possibility of the City constructing
some needed shelters on its own in addition to the MTC shelters. He stressed that
they are an asset to the community and there are many requests for them in all areas.
Ne suggested a three year plan be prepared.
The City Manager pointed out that the three proposed shelters would be at University
Avenue and 57th Avenue by Holiday, on Nighway #65 and W. Moore Lake Drive by the
Theater, and the third to be at Highway #65 and 53rd, or south of the Target Store.
The City Manager explained that if the City requests, MTC would make a study and
if there is enough riders, the sheTters should be programmed for construction. He
pointed out that the initial plans of MTC were to place two such shelters in the
City of Fridley and at the present time, there are four. Ne said this additional
construction would be placed in the MTC budget if the rider count warrants the '�l�i�iter
construction. �
Councilman Nee stated FMC had constructed a bus shelter on their own. He questioned
if priivate institutions and the City continue to construct shelters, would this deter
the Comnission from construction of additional shelters in the City.
The City Manager explained there is a cost factor in the construction of the shelters
and they are priced at $3,000, and there is also a maintenance factor. He said if the
study shows there are enough riders to warrant the sheiter, it would.be provided.
Councilman Nee said he believed the shelters to be a great asset to the City. Ne
felt the City should obtain a cor�nitment from the �4TC so they will not decrease their
activity.
The City Manager pointed out the possible reason for the additional shelters in the
d'd d in this and also
City being that Mayor Bruce Nawrocki of Columb�a Heights ha ai e + ,
that the City of fridley installed the slabs for the shelters, and also the installed ,
the walkways. The City Manager said MTC would make the study and determine the need. ';
' i
Councilman Nee asked the reason for there being no bus service on Mississippi Street.
Mayor Liebl said some of the residents of the area complained that the bus tore up '�
the streets. II

MOTION by Dri_qans, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning
Commission waive the reading of the Public Hearing not.ice on the
request for a Special Use Permit, SP #74-01, by G. Ra1ph Skinner.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimousZy.
Mr. Skinner said this accessory building will be used as a
s�orage shed. It is 12 feet by 20 feet ancl is at the rear of my
house and is not visible from the street. It will help me to keep
my place a little neater. .
b7r. Drigans asked Mr. Skinner to describe the building. Mr.
Skinner said it was a frame building with a metal exterior of white
bakEd-on enamel. It has one service door and a type of overhead
door that opens to the North.
Mr. Drigans said this should not be used for the storage of
vehicles. 'Mr. Sk�inner said it was no� dc?signed for that use.
' Mr. Fitzpatrick asked cahere this'was �ositibnecl on the lot. Mr.
Clark said it was about 10 feet from th� �outh property line and about
300 �eet from the back property line. Tt�is lot is 578 feet long.

Planning CommiSSion Meeting - March 6, 1974 Page 3
Mr. Thomas Brickner, 6245 Ben More Drive, said his property is
back to back with Mr. Skinner's lot and said when he r,ot notice of
this hearirig he couldn't see why Mr. Skinner_ needed more storage
space when he had a four car garage either. He didn't want this
shed used for anything of a commercial nature. .
4B
Mr. Skinner said this building would be used for storing personal
items, not for storing business equipment.
Mr. Clark said this building is already up, and Mr. Skinner was
requested to petition for a Special Use Permit and a building permit�.
Mr. Brickner said he lives on Ben More Drive and there is a
temporary cul-de-sac there now. He was wondering if this street
went through if they would need any of Mr. Skinner's property for
additional right of way. Mr. Clark said that according to the street
layout plan, if this street was extended, it would go along the
East line and then along the South side of N1r. Skinner's property.
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Skinner if this building has a concrete
' ..floor. Mr. Skinner said it has no floor. It is on three large
wooden skids.
�

LJ
'
'
Mr. Clark sa.id this building will. have to meet the code when the
building permit is taken out.
Mr. Harris said.it wi�l have to be on something besides skids.
Mr. Clark said that for this type of occupancy, it doesn't have
to have a concrete floor, but because this request is for a Special
Use Permit, you can make that a sti_pulation if that's what you want.
Mr. Lindblad said the Planning Commission discussed this before,
' and he thought the code was going to be changed so that sheds would
have to have a permanent foundation. Mr. Clark said they have some
other revisions they were working on for the code, and all th�se
' changes would be requested at t�e same time. The Planrling Commis�'�on
would get these revisions.
�
�
,
'
�
�. Mr. Harris asked the petitioner if there would be any utilities
in this shed. Mr. Skinner said there would be no utilities.
Mr. �kinner said he wanted a solid floor foundation on this shed
also, but becaus� he knew he needed a Special Use Permit and building
permit, he thought if either of these were denied for any reason, if
he kept the building on skids, he could sell it and haul it away with
a truck.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he has a couple of thoughts on this request.
He said with all the storage on the property now, he was not convinced
.� •this shed was needed, but if it is already there and the neighbors were
not aware of it, then there can't be too much objection to it.

Mr. �rickner said he wasn't aware the building was already there.
This is a heavily wooded 1ot and if the building looked good and was
used strictly for.storage, he had no objection.

that �t:he Planning Commission
a Special Use Permit, SP
vote, a11 voting aye, the
MOTION by Drigans, seconded by Lindblad, that the Planning Commissic
recommend to Covncil approval of the request for a Special Use Permit,
SP #74-01, by G. RaZph Skinner, per Fridley City Code, Section 205.051,
2, A, to constr.uct a second accessory building, a shed to be used for
s�toxage, on Lots 20 and 21, Auditor's Subdivision No. 22, the same
being 6217 Centra.Z Avenue N.E., with the foZlowing stipulations:
(1) No business be conducted on fhis property.
(2) A permanent foundation be attached to this building, Iocated
in,the approxilnate area as shown on the plat map submitted by
the petii�ioner.
(3) Before this building is permanently .Zocated, the petitioner
check with the Engineering Department on the established road
patterns for this area.
Mr. Harris said we were act.ain approving something after the fact.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said he felt this way too, but because it was
such a large lot, there wasn't much to object to.
Mr. Harris said he has no real objection to this special use
being gran-�ed, but it was still after the fact..
Mr. Skinner said that it wasn't his intention to appear to go
over the authority of the Council. He said that before he bought any
material for this shed last October, he had checked with a girl in
the oftice and she told him he needed a Special Use Permit and building
pe�rmit, but the Planning Cammissi.on wasn't meeting until bsarch.. He
said he wanted to have this building started before the weather got ,
bad, so that was why he had it on skids. "If he didn't get approval
he could put it up for sale and move it. This building wasn't built
to force�approval from anyone from the City. He said the Building
Inspector, Clarence nelisle had been out two or three time on this
building. He said he has updated his home and built the garage_, going
through all the proper channels and building it to code, why would
he try to flaunt the proper procedures ,for a small shed? He didn't
want anyone to think that because this•shed was al.ready built, that
he was trying to use any kind of lever on the City.
Mr. Clark said this building was up at least by January 4, 1974
when Mr. Belisle went ou�t and looked at it.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that the Planning Commission wasn't implying
that Mr. Skinner's intention was to present an accomplished fact. I

do think there was a misunderstanding, but regardless of Mr. Skinner's
intention, the results are the same.
UPON A VOIGE VOTE, a11 votinq aye, the motion carried unanimously.
3. REQUEST FOR A LOT SPLIT, L.S. #74-02, BERN�RD URBICK: Split Lot
39, Auditor's Subdivision No. 92, into four building sites,
loca�ed at 58th and Arthur Street N.E.
Mr. Ken Sjodin, Mr. Urbick's realtor, was present to represent
the petitioner.
Mr. Clark said this request had been before the Plats & Subdivision�
Streets & Utilities Subcommittee briefly, a�ter their last meeting,
and they agreed to the concept, but there was no agreement on whether
this should be handled as a lot split or a plat. �
Mr. Clark coritiizued that it has also gone to the Parks & Recreation
Commission on hlarch 4th in regard to the purchase of the most Southerly
lot that is adjacent to a park. This is an 86 foot lot and the
Commission would .like between 86 to 90 feet to add to our present park.
property: The A-Frame the City has acquired is just South of this
lot next to a pond. With the acquisition of this land, it will make
it possible to have a walking path all around the pond, which will be
improved.
We met with Mr.. Urbick and his r_eal estate man today to talk about
' negotiating for the.land. We have a basis for placing a valuation on
the land and although it is not clearly defined, it will cost the
Park Department somewhere between $1500 and $2,000 for about a 90 foot �
lot. We ar_rived at this figure by using the front footage valu�
' . the real�-or. put on the property, subtracting the special assessments,
subtracting the 3.0 foot dedi.ca�ion to the City for park lancl, and
subtracting �1,000 ii w.ill�co�t for fill to make this a buildable site.
' Mr. Urbick has been very, very fair.
Mr. Fitzpatric}c asked if this property for the park
' from Grace Hiqh School. Mr.: Clark said it was. He said
might need a 25 faot triangle off the next lot also.
'

i
'
,
'
�
was across
�the City
� Mr. Clark said the petitioner does not want to plat because of
the time factor. Platting would require Public Hearings hy both the
Planning Commissi.on and Council and he would have to provide hard
shell copies, etc. The descriptions covering the three remaining lots
wi11 not b� difficult to place. We felt that because Mr. Urbick and
his realtor have bcen so f_air with the City, if we can help him
get division of his lot the easiest way, we should. .
Mr. Harris said that he was unaware.that the'City wished to
purchase a 1ot from the petitioner at the time the Plats & Subdivisions�
saw this lot split request.. It was his feeling at that time that the
property should be platted. As long as the Cii:y is considering pur-
chasing one lot and there will be only three lots left, one of which
is already built upon, he had no objection to this being haridled as
a lot split. • .
� Planning Commission Meeting - March 6, 1974 Page 6�
Mr. Clark said that by the City acquiring this lot, it would
' be a real asset to the City and the Park Department because it
would enable the City to place a walkway around the pond.
, � Mr. Clark said the way
was that the realtor set a
special assessments paid.
' specials (water, sewer and
fill, and 30 feet of the 90
was $1,775.

the cost was determined on this property
cost of $85.00 per front footage with the
We deducted $40 per front footage for
streets). Then we deducted $1,000 for
feet for park dedication and our figure
Mr. Harris said na money for th� park fund or park dedication �
is necessaa�y on a lot split. Mr. Clark said it would be if this
property was platted. Altiiough the petitioner is dividing this
property �rith a lot split, he is wi.11inq to make the park dedication.
Mr. Clark said there has been agreement between the City staff
and the property owner, but the City Council has not agreed to this.
MOi'ION by Harris, seconded by Dxiyans, that the Planning Commission
recommend to Council approval of the request for a 1ot split, L.S.
�#74-0?., by Bernard Urbick, to split Lot�39,,Auditor's Subdivision No.
92, into four building sites Iocated at 58th and Arthur Street N.E.
contingent upon an agreement wit-h the City to provide park property.
Upon a voice vote, a11 voting aye, the motion carried unanimously.
4. TR�E ORDZNANCE
Mr. Clark said this ordinance has been passed do�an��o the Planning
Commission by th� Council.. It is not required that the Planning �
Commission have a Public F-Iearing, but you may want to have one. k�e are
somewhat bound in by the number of days we have ta react to this
ordinance. Council has 65 days to react ta this ardinance, which is
May $th. They have to adopt an ordinance that is agreeable to the
committee, or within 45 days after May 8th, there will have to be a
referendum. If i�hey adopt an ordinance that is not agreeable to the
committee, it will still have to go to a referendum. This ordin�nce
refexs i�o all public land. �
� Mr. Fitzpatrick said he would like to get some input from the
� Erivironmental Quality Commission and the Parks and Recreation Commissior
'� but because of the time element, there wasn't time for them to have .
individual rtieetings, so maybe a joint meeting could be considered.
�
'
'
Mr. Drigans said it might make a cumbersome board to have so
many committees conducting the hearing. He said he thought they
could expect quite a turn-out for this hearing. � ,
Mr. Lanqenfeld, Chairman of the Environmental Quality Commission,
felt if the members of the other committees were in the audience, it
would accomplish the same thing.

Mr. Drigans said the Board of Appeals and the Planning Commissian
have a joint meeting on March 13th. OL�r regular scheduled Planning
Commission meetings are March 20th and April 3rd. Mr. Clark said
if we don't have too much scheduled for th� 20th of March, we could
set a Public Iiearing for that date. After you got the input, you
could m�ake your recommendation by April 3rd, so Counci.l would have
time to react to your recommendation before April 15th, when they
may want to hold a Public Hearing.
Mr. Clark said the Planning Commission might want to have an
''� inforrnal m�eting to talk over this ordinance before you have a
Public Hearing. Mr. Drigans said there might be time after their
special meeting on March 13th.

Chairman Fitzpatrick said he thought most of the members were
quite familiar �aith this ordinance. He asked Mr. Clark that if they
decided to have the Pu�lic Hearing on March 20th how this would be
publicized. Mr. Clark said he would call the Sun Newspaper and ask
their help in publicizing this Hearing. �
Mr. Harris asked Mr. Langenfeld if the Environmental Quality
Commission would be me�ting before the 20th of March. Mr. Langenfeld
said they would be meeting March 12th. Mr. Drigans said they could
probably get copies of the minutes of this meeting before the Public
Hearing.
Mr. Bill Nee, Councilman, said this ordinance seems to be for
park land but it will have an impact on street development. He said
that it might be the �nvironmental: Quality Commi.ssion that negatiates
with the sponsoring committee. -
Chairman Fitzpatrick asked Mr. Nee if it would be more desirable
to have a joint meeting with the Planning Commission and the Parks
and Recreati.on and the �nvironmental Quality Commission, or just have
the members of these other two commissions in the audience. Mr. Nee
said he couldn't see much difference. The Council sent this ordinance
to tize Planning Co:nmission because they thought this was a reasonable
way to collect input.
Mr. Nee said there was discussion at one time of the Chairman of
the Environmental Quality Commission beinq a member of the Planning
Conunission, and maybe he should be on the Planning Commission as an
ex-officio member for this meeting. Mr. Harris said they would extend
tha�. invitation..right now as Iong as Mr. Langenfeld was in the audience.
Mr. Langenfeld said he would be in the hospital at the time of
this meeting, but he would ask his Vice Chairman to take his place.
Chairman Fitzpatrick asked Mrs. Leeann Sporre, 301 Ironton Street
N.E., how she felt about the schedule of the Public Hearing.
Mrs. Sporre said she had no objection as long as it was publized
so people were aware of the Hearing. She said Wednesday night was a
bad night during Lent. Mr. Fitzpatrick said this is the night that
people were used to have a Planning Commission meeting and when they
had changed this night, they hadn't had too much response. The Planning

Commission has a couple of other items they will have t�i take care
of at t}iis meeting, so this hearing wouldn't start unti�l 8:30, so
people could go to church and still make it to the meeting.
Mrs. Sp�rre said she would like to know before the Hearing, an.y
questions that the Planning Commission were going to ask. so that
research could be done on these questioris, then they could have_the
answers at the time of the Hearing.
She asked if they had any questions on woodland management.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said if any of the members of the.Planning Comm�ssion
knew of any questioils they might be asking at the Hearing, they should
tell Mrs. Sporre, particularly questions that would have to be research—
ed.
Mr. Harris asked if the sponsoring committee had contact with some
one in the Department of Natural Resources, Forestry Division. IIe said
he hadn`t gone through i�his ordinance point by point yet, but he though�
someone from the Forestry Division should be invited to the meeting
as far as woodland managem�nt is concerned. Mrs. Sporre said it might
be possible to get sameone to come to the meeting., but she would.
prefer to have specific questions researched rather than have one
man's opinion given.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said this was a reasonable request, but he didn't
thinY� the Ylanning Commission has had time to formulate specific
questions. He said.there was one point that would be brought up at
the Iiearing. You might be prepared on why the committee is sponsoring
this particular ordinance. You must have had certain objectives.
Mrs. Sporre said they thought this was a good law. She said other
areas have passed laws to protect certain trees and she thought this
was a way of protecting a valuak�le asset.
Mr. Drigans said there was one thing he had a q_u�stion on. That
question was that we are considering having an armory in Fridley, and
the possi.bility of the Y.M.C.A. being relocated. With this ordinance
no building can be done on public land, that may require tree removal.

in the City. If there is a way to clear land for streets, for
insi:ance, there should be a process that protects the trees. The
•concept for this ordinance came from I3loomington. He said we all
know of instances in Minneapolis where a street was widened 10 feet
�and al1 the trees were removed from the boulevard. The question is
whether the people would rather not have the street widened and save
the trees. There should be some provision in the ordir�ance for

and comments from the Engineering Department.
Mr. Lindblad asked Mzs. Sporre if she could tell him in a few
words, the main point of this ordinance.
Mrs. Sporre said it was to prohibit the destruction of trees by
woodland managem�nt and disease control.on all public property.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said we are faced at this point with either
adop�ion of this ordinance or referendum or apparently before any
adoption, fu�ther negotiations with the sponsoring committee, whicll
I don't fully under.stand. If 4,000 people have signed this petition;
ca�� the commi�:tee negotiate for changes in this ordinance?
Mr. Dri_qans said he thought the intention of the Council was to
h�ve the Planning Corunission hold Public Hearings and the minutes
would be availabie to them of citizen input. Mr. Drigans said Mr.
�?ee could correct him, but he didn't think it was the Council's
in-L-ent for the Planning Commission to recommend anything, just to
get citizen input. Mr. Drigans said this was just passed to the
Planning Commission and I think the Council should tell us if they
want a recommendation or jusi� citizen input. �
, Chairman Fitzpatrick said h� thinks the Council is looking
for our recommendation, and if our recommendation includes changes
in the ordinance, I h�:ve some question as to how empowered the
sponsoring cc<< itt�.e is to negotiate these changes. Mr. Nee said
! this is spelled��out in the Charter, but it does raise a moral question.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he didn't think the signers of the petition
� would object to us working out a r.easonable means of appeal, but if
we can do that, what else can be do?
' Mr. Drigans said I have heard that the intent of the ordinance
was to stop the Council action on the North Park proposal. The
sponsoring committee wi)_1 have to be prepared to answer this question.
� Mrs. Sporre said that wasn't the whole intent, but it was a strong
reason for many people who signecl the petition.
� Mrs. Sporre said they have done a 1ot of research, on this and
' even ii' and when this site was used for a golf course, and they did
try to save as many trees as possible, the use of.heavy equipment to
eonstruct the fairways, would disturb the oak trees left. It would
' change the wind rose and oaks are very unpredictable. We were told
the first year that it would look quite good, but in a short time,
the trees that were left would star� to die. .
�
i
h1r. Drigans said i� would be impossible to tell how many trees would
be affected until the fairways were laid out. Mrs.� Sporre said the
impact of using this property as a golf course couldn't actually
be evaluated until it was all completed, and then it would be too late.
Mr. Langenfeld said the City has proposed hiring a naturalist.��iie
' would have a great deal to do with this ordinance. �

he thought there should be a provision on what type af trees should
be propagated and what� type of trees that were undesirable. Mr.
Nee said that's why it says woodland management in this ordinance.
Mr. Harris said that was why he would like to see someone from the
Forestry Service at the Public Hearing. He said �hat some trees groca
better in Fridley than others, and some trees hold back the developmen�
of more desirable trees.
Mr. Fitzpat�rick said this provision in the ordinance is rather
an inclusive one and it doesn't say who will do the woodland manage-
ment. Mr. Nee said this would be a con-L-inuing program. �
AZr. Harris said if the City is qoing to have a program, they
will. have to hire a naturalist, if they aren't going to have a
natur�list, tliey �aill still ha.ve to have someone reSponsible �or the
prc:gram: Mr. Nee said that if the City did not have a naturalist,
the City could come up with a program that Faould probably not be so
well founded.
Mr. Harri_s said he thought this ordinance should be considered
on its meriis rather. than just be tied in with North Park. Mr. Drigans
said that he thought it would be impossible to separate the two at
the Public �iearing.
Mr. Harris said he would J_ike som� input at the Public Hearing
from someone with a background of forest management.
There was discussion on whether the audience might get too large
to be accommodated at tl�is Hearing. The Planning Cor�mzssion asked
Mr. Clar_k to check and see if there was an alternate meeting place
available.

Mr. Clark continued that this pla� is different in that Woodside
Court dead-ends on the East side and instead of starting on the
West side of the Theilmann parcel, this area is now served by a
cul-de-sac. This would give the petitioner one mqre lot, but will
give the Theilmann's 7 lots instead of 8. Mr. Clark said this plat
would require some right of way for the cul-de-sac on 61st Avenue
and the a�fected property owner at 1541 Ferndale told me before
the meeting that he has not been contacted by the petitioner.
Mr. Harris said he couldn't go along with this p1at. He said �
the reaso.i the P]_anning Commission had approved the pr�liminary plat
was to give the petitioner some dir_ection and we gave him eleven
stipulations. This plat•doesn't follow these.stipulations. Stipulation
7 and ll are the only stipulations that are answered�and that is on
the grades being es�ablished and the f'inal plat coming back to the
Planning Commission. �
Mr. Theilmann said he gave up less land with this plat, but he
' would be left witti 7 lots instead of 8 and he didn't like this. plat
at all. �3e.said he had no objection to the preliminary plat presented
to.tlie Planning Commission on February 20th.

Mr. Fitzpatrick asked if the owner of 1541 Ferndale caas in the
.audi�nce. Mr. Charles Rice said he was the owner. Mr. Fitzpatrick
asked the property oG�ner if he would negotiate for the additional
right of way needed for the cul-de--sac on 61st Avenue. Mr. Rice
said he would not�.
Mr. Clark said the present right of way w�nt up to the East
property line of Mr. R1C�`s property.
Mr. Drigans said this was why he objected to approval of the
preliminary plat at the February 20th meeting. There were too many
. unanswered questions. Now the petitioner has a different plat than
what we made our recommendation on. I'm ready to have them start all
• over at th� Plats & Subdivisions-Streets & Utilities Subcommittee leve�.
Mr. Clark said if the Planning Commission didn't like this plat,
they could.recommend the plat presented at the February 20th meeting.
Mr. Theilmann said when he bought his property twonty ��ears ago
' he always felt he could plat this property into eight lots. Af ter
paying taxes on it for all this time, he certainly cauldn't agree
to seven odd-sized lots. He said he knew he would have to purchase
some land set aside by the petitioner to make his lots me�t the
' front footage requirements, but he was willing to do that.
Mr. Harris said that stipulation 9 specifically states that
' Woodside Court be temporarily dead-ended on the East and West side
of the Thcilmann property line.
'
'
Mr. Lindblad said he couldn't see why the cul.-de-sac couldn't
be on Lots 11 and 12 and if Lot 13 were redrawn, Lot 13 could be
a buildable site. Then the peitioner wouldn't need the 25' right
of way from the property owner at 1541 Ferndale.

Mr. Harris said that if he w�s looking at this plat correctly,
the section D-D or Lot 10 was going to need a variance on the front
setbac}; of 10 feet: Mr. Harris asked if there w�re any unbuildaule
lots. Mr. Clark said no. .
Mr. Drigans said the lots are numbered differently than on the
preliminary plat we approved.
Mr. Harris said there was no way that he could recommend this
plat.

Mr. Clark said why don't you think about doing it this way,
reaffirm yaur approval of the plat presented at the February 20th
meeting, and say that the plat that �aas presented tonight was
unacceptable Uecause oi the big change West of the Theilmann parcel
and i�hat as far as you're concerned the 61st Avenue cul-de-sac be
moved Easterly so that i.he bubble portion of the turn-around lies
on Lots 11 and 1.2 on this plat and that the park deparment purchase
the remainder of these two lots, making Lot 13 buildable.
Mr. Drigans asked �lOW many lots were on.the plan presented tonight.
Mr. Clark said 42. Mr. Drigans said the petitioner had added another

8. DISCUSSION
Mr. Lindblad said he would lik� to discuss the problem of
loan companies dictating to the City i�he requirements for parking
or perhaps for otller things. Where do we draw the line? �
Mr. Clark said where this question came up caas on a building
being built by Bryant-Franklin where t�hey already had the financing
secured. One building i�ney have built that is in use has 130 parking
stalls, of which 5 stalls are actual]_y being used. When they requested
an identical building that was going to have a low rate of employment,
the staf� felt why not have a par_king lot for 30 cars or 50 cars.
The space would still be there to incr_ease the parking area if it �aas
ever needed. The developer thought this was a good idea and drew
up his plans this way, and was going to request a variance. Whetz the
lending agc�ncy saw thes� plans, he said the developer had to provide
the minimum parkinq.
Mr. Harris said the lending agency is looking at it from the
standpoint that if ihey ever got this building back, it would be
much more marketable if it has the minimum parking. If a new owner
needec� aJ_1 the parking and even if the space were available for it,
this would still b� an additional expense for the buyer and would
make it more difficult to sell. The lending agency always has to
consider the resale of the building.
Mr. Clark said our code calls for a minimum of 120 parking stalls
on this property, and the lending agency said they wanted 132, so
they were not infringing upon our minimum code.
Chairman Fitzpatrick adjourned the meetinq at 11.:15 P.M.

MOTION by j•dahlberg, seconded by Cr��ader, to 4vaive reading the public hearing
notice. Upon a voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Charles Peugh, of Signcrafters, Inc., �aas present to present the reauest.
Mr. Peugh presented sketches of both signs to the Board and also a plot plan
of the hospital lot showing where the signs �oould be located.
Mx. Peugh explained i:hey require a variance on the size �o put up t-cao directional
signs; one stating "Unity Emer;ency", the othex statin� "Unity", "Auditorium",
"Truck Deliveries", "Enployee Pax'king". He said the color scheme taould be a blue
backgxound �aith tiahii:e letters and xed arro�os. He said the "�mergency" sign 4aould
have fluorescent ligli�ing and the other would have scotchlite. �he p1o� plan
showed both signs located ofi.the O�borne entxances; the "Emergency " sign at the
most easterly entrance and the other a� the most westerly entrance, both to be
placed at the proper setbacks.
Chairman Drioans said he could see the "Emergency" sign but Sohy the other sign.
Mr. Peugh answered tha� the kicls have knocked the sign dotim �hat �•aas thexe and
the delivery men are going to �he taxong doors. He said the hospital• has to have
signs to direct people because of the many entrances. He added one 3.arger sign
is better than haeing many 6 square foo� signs.
Mr. Cxowclex sta�ed he could also see th e xeason for having an "em�xgency" sign,
especially for the txaffic at night, but asiced ���hy the esnployees need a sign
telling theJn z•�here to park. Chairnian Drigans added lie clidn't thinlc the hospital
needed a 24 square �oot sign for a cleliv ery directional sign as he felt the
delivery men would kno��� where they were �o go, because oi what they were delivexing.
' Mr. Peugh answexed that the delivexies are no� made by the same men all the time
and the employee parking dixection i.s more for the vistors,� to let them know they
can not park there. ,
,
�
'
Mxs. Wahlberg stated she couldn't see where the delivery nien would come to the
iront door wlien they �•�ere delivering food or supplies . She said if you have this
sign at the entrance, you w ill need a sign further in to differentiate between .
deliverics. She also taanted to question the wording of "Unity" on the signs�
i.nstead of having "hospital". She �elt people who were from out ot town would not
necessaxi7_y lcno�o "Unity" but would know "hospiCal". Stie said they don't know �:liat
"Unity Emexgency" would mean ho�pital.
�
' The riinutes of the Board of Ap eals Meeting of March 13, .1974 .� Pa�e 2
Chaix7nan Dxigans stated he felt the ambulance drivers should know where the
' �. emergency doors are without having a sign to direct them. Mr. Peugh answered
that the information he has comes fxom the hospital as to what rhey want and
apparently they are having trouble with the dxivexs.

Mrs. Wahlbexg said she is not objecting �o the size�but to the taording.
P1r. Crowder asked if �he Board �vas to deny the variance, could the hospital put
up 6 small 6 square foot signs. He said his bigges� question is if we turn it
do��m, what happens.
Mr. Ma�tson xead irom the Ordinance the requixements on traffic directional
szgns and stated there t.�as no maximum on the number allor��ed.
Mr. Cxot��der c�ondered if they could put 3- 6 square foot signs on the same
pole. ' -
Chairmaa.i Drigans asked about �he clearance of the signs from the ground. rir.
Peugh said both taexe 4` 6" off the gxound. Chairman Drigans stated he felt
the Board should consider the sa£ety factor of a sign being only 4 feet off the
ground. fie said any sign that lo�a `aill havv kids climbi.ng on it. He said that
should Ue considexed in the construction of it. He asked �ahy the one post
instead of t:�ao. �ix. Peugh said he didn'i: know how the kids would get up on
the sign as it is on�.y about 12 inches ���ide caith no hand holes. He said if you
put th e sign up to ha�gh, it caill look out of proportion. He said the engineers
that figure these signs out, do take taind pressure, etc., into consideration so
the sign is stuxdy. He said an additional post taould cost the hospital $200.00
extra, and he was sure the sign was sturdy without it.
Mrs. Wahlberg said she objects to �he additional square footag e of the "emergency"
sign used fox decora�ive design. Mr. Peugh answered that it is not.just
decoxative, it is a steel cover.
Chairman Dxigans sai.d he felL- the sign wa,th a centex post is going to be subject
to somebody coming up and t�yzno to turn it. He said we have to look at the
safe�y factox wiih the electrical lighting in a sign that low. Mr. Peugh stated
he fel.t thi.s sign i•77.�11 fluorescent lightix�g is safer than flood lights that are �
on the grounc�. .
Mr. Cxotadex s�ated the Boaxd can'� foxce him to change the lighting and the poles
as long as i� is in conformance with the Codes. Chairman Drigans stated that the
Board has �o pxotecL- the public on items ihat could be safc�y hazards.
Darrel Clark, Conmiunity Development Adm., added that the Board could recommend
the si�ns be the same height as the City traffic signs,
�hairman Drigans sai.d that if �hese signs taere appxoved, it could set a precedent
in that a�iy business docvn Osborne Road could decide Chey also need trafiic
directional signs. �ie said he has more rFServations about..the delivery dixectinnal
sign sxze. He said delivery men change, gxanted, buC employees shouldn't need
a sign to tell them where to park.
Mr. Peugh said the hospi�al woulcin't be spending the money fox the signs if they
dicln't �ee1 it zs necessary.
�
� The Minutes of the Board of ApPeal.s Mceting of Marcli 13, 1974 � Page 3
Mrs. Wahlberg questioned ��ahat signs �aere existing on the propexty now. She said
' 'she tliought there was now an emergency sign on the building and she therefore
questioned if Lhis proposed sign is necessary. She said the hospital will
pxobably sti7.1 need other signs in the yard.
,
�
,
Mr. Plemel s�ated h�e �hought the hospital has lcept its yaxds quite nice but to
add signs that are this size seem a�aful garish to him. He said the hospital
must thinlc they need it but he couldn`t see �ahy they need a sign for eanployee
parki.ng .
MOTIOI� by Crotoder, seconded by P1eme1, to cJ.ose the public heaxing. Upon a
voice vote, there being no nays, the motion carried unanimously.
Mrs. Wahlberg s�ai:ed she questioned the size of si�ns being asked for fixst of
� a7.1, but also questioned tahat . e�ists nota on the building and i.f it can be seen
fram Osborne Road. i1r. Crotader said, assumin; they have signs on the building
now, t��hat cloes i:he Board subgest they chanoe the size to. He said the Boaxd
agxees that 6 square feet is too sma11 and 75 square feet to big but what size
,� is needed and necessary. r�irs. jdahlberg stated that tiaould be relative �o the
speed of the txaffic and the size of the sign needed to at�ract.attention.
She said she dicln't kno�a what size is needed to see at 30 �mp� �� she felt there
, must be fi�;ur.es and studies availab,le. Mx. rlatts.on said a.i: a�so'depends on the
proximity of the sign to the xoad.

Chai�-man D-rigans stated one of the pxoblems with the hospital parlcing 1ot is
if someone tu2-ns the wrong way, it is haxd to get to the proper doors because
of the cuxbing. He said he felt thi.s is poor planning on the hospitals part.
He said the siza o� the signs is one problem and the clearance from the ground
is the second probl.e�-n. rie said he felt the Board has a xight to put stipulations
on any sign thai� needs a varia.nce. He sai.d anof:her pxoblem is the single post
as he felt i� taill attraci: ka.ds to push it. �
MOT30N by Wahlberg, second�d by Plemel, to recommend to the City Council, denial
o� Sign �rl, to incxease area from 6 square feet to 24 square �eet, for the reason
that the directional signs �aithin the property itself axe suffic9.ent and the
one on Osboz-ne is not necessary to give directions �o delive�.y men and employees.
Upon a voice vote, Gxowder voting nay, the motian carried.
Mx. Cxowdex stated his reason for voting nay is that he feels the hospital could
�aell use the 24 square foot sign if they �aould remove all the other �signs with
the same in�oz7nation.
MOTION by Cxotacler to recomrnend �o the Czty Council denial of Sign ��2, having 75
squaxe feet but to reco�nezzd approval of a sign tai�h 50 sc�uare feet being used.
MOTTON DI�D FOR LACK OF A SECOND
Mrs. Wahlberg stated she felt the only mo�ion she could see on Si�n ��2 was to
table a.t and check into studies of what has been shown to-be necessary. She
said she thought the peti�i.oner has failed to pxove this size of a sign is
necessary. .

'MINUTES 0� THE JOINT MEETING OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION AND THE BOARD OF APPEALS

Mr. Howard Mattson, Engineering Aide
Item of Discussion
THE POLICY TO FOLLOW IN HANDLTNG REQUESTS FOR SPECTAL USE PERMITS AND
VARIANCES FOR EXISTING NON-CONFORMING BILLBOARDS
Mx. Mattson handed out a status report which was made up by the City on the
existing billboards and how each sign meets or does not meet each code requirement
of the billboard ordinance.
Mr. Clark gave a summary of why these requests will be coming before the
Commissions. He said in September of 1969 the Planning Commission and the Council
adopted a Sign Ordinance. He said this oxdinance requires that all billboards will
need a special use permit granted before September 15, 1974 or will have to be
remov ed. He said there are approximately 24 existing billboaxds in the City with
only four having had a special use permit granted. He said the list that was
handed out shows fihe location of the signs and how most of them don't meet at
least one Code requixement and some don't meet two or more. He said before we
start get�ing the requests, it was thought to be a good idea to have a joint
meeting, with the City Attorney present, to decide what the Commissions would
do and what thay can do on the requests. He said on the last page of the status
report is a tax base report on four of the billboards.
Mxs. Wahlber�; asked if there is a iigure for the �otal t� �derived from all of the
signs. Mr. Clark answexed that this was not done but it would probably amount to
less than $50.00 .
Chainnan Fi�zpatxick stated that this ordinance was presuma.bly looked into and
' studied before it was adopted and he asked Mr. Herrick if it would hold up in
court for removi.ng billboards that were constructed before the oxdinance was
adopted. �
�
LI
�J
Mr. Herrick stated that our sign ordinance is constitutional. He said it allowed
for a 5 year moratorium for depreciation on existing signs so it is satisfactory,
in this regaxd. The Commission will have to decide as to whether its reasonable
for a special use permit on a sign or before they ask that it be taken down. He
said they must take it on a fact to fact basis. He said the Council will have to
March 13, 1974 Page 2
' Mi.nutes of the Joint Meeting of the Planning Commission and the Boaxd of Appeals
` decide whether they are going to issue any special use-permits and they could say
' . take them all dawn or they could grant them all. He sai.d whatever action is taken
on the requests should be consis�ant whe�her i� is extreme measures or not. He
said if you allow some and deny some, you need guidelines and a criteria as to what
is needed for approving or denying. He said as far as determinixlg in actvance
' whether the court would support the City or not, thats hard to do. He said a form
should be ma.de up showing factors you �hink would be important to make your
decision on.
Mr. liarris brought up the point about the City's responsibility as far as a lease
for the sign goes. He said as an example if a sign company leased the land their
sign is on for 10 years, and they have 5 years left on the lease, and the Co�nission
decides the sign should be removed. He asked if �he Attorney thought the City "
would be held xesponsible for the balance of the lease. Mr. Herricic replied that
in some cases no. He said the ordinance was adopted 5 years ago after most
property owners and sign companies knew about it. He said even though we n�ight
diminish the value of the land, it would be difficult to determine. He said we
have given them 5 years to recoup their investment. He said the question that then
comes up is is 5 years reasonable.He said the court has decided that 3 years is
sufficient. He said he would suggest that the City get information on the lease
and the cost o£ the sign when it was built to add to the data they already have
on the signs.
Mr. Harris asked if tlie Coir¢nission could recommend to the Council that the Special
Use Permit, if approved, run until the end of the lease. Mr. Herrick replied that
could be done and that was why he suggested looking into the length of the Iease.
He added they could also grant the special use permit for a specific length oi
time, say 1 year, and review them again after that ti.me.
Mr. Drigans asked the Co�nission to look at the denial extreme. He said if the
denial was done on a mass basis, would the City need a resolution passed. He asked
if that taould be one way of �overing not granting any special use permits.
Mr. Herrick replied he would think that that is what the City would want to do
if they wanted a mass denial. He said if that was the result, Che City would
have to look into the reasons for doing it. Mr. Drigans said the Ordinance was
drawn up and somebody must have looked into this throughly. He asked if it would
be better to deny all the requests before we get all the requests to eliminate
the consideration on an individuai basis. He said thats what we warit to get
away from.
Chairman Fitzpatrick stated some of the criteria is more important than others.
He asked how many of the billboards don't meet the Code. Mr. Clark answered about
90 percent of them don`t meet the Code. Chairman Fitzpatxick said you have talked
about a form and getting information on each sign. He asked if we would have to
take applications for special use permits if we were to deeide to deny all of them.
Mr. Herrick stated we would have to accept the applications but you could
recommend that no special use permits be granted.
Mr. Harris asked if the City were to deny all of one companies signs, would the
' court find the City acting in a capricious manner. Mr. Herrick stated that was
a hard question to answer. He said Minnetonka took that position (to deny them
all), and won in court, but he couldn't say what would happen now. Mr. Drigans
asked about the billboards that have had leases negotiated within the last five
' years. He asked what chance the City would have in court if we denied their
request for a special use germit. Mr. Herrick answered that the City would have
. a good position on these.

Minutes of the Joint Meeting of the Planning Commission and the Board of Appeals
Mr.Plemel asked about the City's billboards. He said isn't that putting us in a
bad position. Mr. Clark said some of �hose billboards have agreements on them
and some have Council approval with just building permits. Mr. Herxick stated
that was another reason to check into each billboard permit as they have been
erected under several different means. ,
Mr. Lindblad stated who:is.governing who. He said why should a sign company be.
able to tell the City what to do. He said if we are going to approve anything,
what will p�event anybody f.rom coming in to get a billboard permit. Mr. Herrick
stated its a question of property otaners rights. He said if the owner has a
bonified property interest, then the City has to prove it is in the interest of
the he�lth, welfare and safety of the public to remove them.
Mr. Crowder stated the decisions have to be a blanket denial, give everyone a
special use permit, or go through the requests individually. He said it sounds
like we should set quidelines for each action.
Mr. Herrick stated the outcome that is accepted would not only affect the
existin� bil?boards bu� also would apply to new applications. He said the City
should come up with a form that will require all information about a sign.
Mr. Clark asked if two public hearings will have to be held for a billboard
needi.ng both a special use permit and a variance. Mr. Herrick said there could
be a joint meeting between the Planning Commission and Soard of Appeals and
hold one hearing. He said there could be the one advertising, one meeting and
have two separate votes; the Board of Appeals first for the variance, the Planning
Commission second on the special use permit. Mr. Clark said he felt we were
weakening our position by having two votes. Mr. Crowder said he felt it should
go to one board or the.other.
Mr. Drigans said he felt the Co�nission should list the advantages and disadvantages
of the actions open to them. He said we should attack this on a systematic basis.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said lets look at the blanket denial and what the rationale
would be. The Commission came up with; l. Upholding the Code as written and adopted.
2. Save administrative time for going over individual requests. 3. Save Council and
Commission time. 4. Court costs on going just once instead of several times.
Mr. Lindblad asked if all 24 billboards have to have action taken on them before
September. Mr. Clark said there are 4 that may not have to as they had special
use permits granted before the 1969 Ordinance but they do not meet the criteria
for billboards now. Mr. Herrick said he felt they should be lumped together with
the othexs.
Mr. Herrick said he had a discussion with a sign company about taking down three
signs because of roadwork involving widening the street. He said compensation of
$1,000.00 apiece had to be paid out on the removal of the signs, and added that
might give�the Commission an idea of what can happen.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said he didn't think the City would be going to court 18 times,
' because of the court findings, one of the parties would learn. Mr. Clark said
he felt the signs are individual in themselves and to state a blanket request
would be wrong. Mr. Herrick said some communities have had a blanket denial but
t . �that would have to be the Commission's decision. He said if Council agrees with
Che Commission, then a portion of the Ordinance would have to be deleted.

Minutes of the Joint Meeting of the Planning Commission and the Board of Appeals
Mr. Lindblad felt the City should eliminate them all. He said you cannot give
� one sign approval without the res� getting approval also. -
Mr. Harris aslced the Commission to consider Sandee's billboard. He said if we
denied this sign, would it be detrimental to his business. Mr. Herrick said
the owner would pxobably think so. Mr. Harris stated Sandee's was here before
the City so to speak, when things were different, but without that sign, no one
would know where the place is at.
Mxs. Wahlberg asked why the City should be placed in that position. She said
the City did not ask them to locate where they are so why is it the City's
responsibility. She said there are a number of restaurants that do not have
billboards that are not on a main street. Chairman Fitzpatrick said he felt
Sandee's sign does not draw much business into the place that didn't know where
it was located beforehand. Mr. Lindblad asked if this sign was approved, and then
the place was sold, would the new owner still retain approval for the billboard.
Chairman Fitzpatrick said anyone could give reasons for wanting a billboard.
Mrs. Wahlberg said another item for consideration would be the envir�nmental
impact.
Cha.irman Fitzpatrick asked the Commission to list the advantages and disadvantages
for a blanket approval. They cazne up with; 1. Work load would be lighter and
faster. 2. Add few e�tra revenue dollars to the budget. 3. Leave avenues open for
additional billboards. 4. Failure to uphold Codes. 4. Reverse reasons for denial.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked if the time limit of special use permits is standard. Mr.
Clark said it varies depending on what the special use permit is granted for.
Mr. Clark stated the renewal fee for billboards is due April 30,.1974 and
obviously the action on all variances and special use permits cannot be made by
then. Mr. Herrick suggested that when the billing forms are sent out, attach a
reminder for the special use permit approval and state in case of denial, the
fee paid will be prorated with the excess returned. He said he felt this
Commission should make their decisions and see if the Council concurs. He said
the public hearings could be held and any action taken before the September date.
Chairman Fitzpatrick asked Mr. Herrick what would be the easiest to defend the
City on; blanket den�al and not issuing any special use permits or selective
denial. Mr. Herrick said from a legal standpoint, there is a good possibility
of winning on a blanket denial and if there are standards set up for selective
denial, he wouldn't be afraid of that either. Mr. Herrick said if thexe was
to be a blanket denial, a change in the Ordinance should be made prior to
September stating all non-conforming signs must be removed by a certain date.
He said since we have already granted a 5 year moratorium under the Ordinance,
he felt the court would agree with a 6 month to 1 year time limit. He said this
time would allow them to recoup their investments and clean-up their affairs.
He added the Commission shauld do their homework and then present it to the
Council before the hearings are held,
M�. Crowder asked if the sign company's would fight the City if we gave them
6 months more. Mr. Clark answered that he thought they'would because they want
their signs as that is their business.
Mr. Harris asked if the buyers vf advextising space could hold the City
responsible. Mr. Herrick stated he doubted it as he was sure the companies
have severence clauses.

apply here.
after September,
Mr. Crowder said the Commission has been assuming the sign companies will not
conform to the bil-lboard requirements. He said maybe they will. Mr. Mattson
said some restrictions could be complied with and some couldn't be as far as
setbacks are concerned.
Mrs. Wahlberg asked if it was possible to prohibit signs on a specific roadway.
Mr. Herrick said he thought it could if you could show accident statistics or
something unique about it to qualify �ienying. He said the Commission would need
basis and fact and a qualified person in engineering or traffic study should do
the study.
Mrs. Wahlberg stated she had been told that the book "Street Graphics" has
information iri it giving statistics about signs and she felt the City should
obtain a copy which might be of help on the billboards and especially helpful
to the Board of Appeals on the variance requests.
Mr. Dxigans asked i� this body should meet again after information is acquired
' and the form made up. Mr. Clark suggested each.board going over the information
when it is available and then calling a special meeting if it is decided it is
necessary.
' Mr. Herrick stated that on the whole, it might be better to consider ttie requests
one at a time, and then try to adopt a consistant pattern of action.
' Mr. Drigans stated the book "Street Graphics" might show that our Sign Ordinance
is outdated in relation to its findings. He said at the Board of Appeals meeting
it was brought up tha� the Code says nothing about the number of traffic directional
' sign allowed. Chairman Fitzpatrick said if the people on the Commissions feel the
Ordinance or parts of the Ordinance are outdated and should be looked at again, �.t
should be done-
'
'

i�
Mr. Clark said the City staff will research and get �he infoxmation on each
billboard including lease, type of pexmit, etc., and also draw up the form and
get this report back to the members in possibly two weeks. He said after they
get this information the Coimnission can make up theix format and present it to

STATD�IENT TO ENV I ROI�'MENTAL QUI�L I TY COUNC I L
FOR ME�TING ON MARCH 11, 1974 - 9:30 A. M.
BY MAYOR FRANK G. LIEBL, CITY OF FRIDLEY
� In coming before you today, there is one overall auestion that you
are confronted tivith. lloes the construction of a golf course on North Park,
iwhich is City of Fridley property, have any significant environmental effect
that would produce detrimental impacts on this or surrounding properties.
' I believe that certain information should be submitted in order to
� assist you in determining whether there is a need for an enviror�mental impact
statement regarding this project. First of all, the Environmental Quality
' Council should be aware of the background relating to the acauisition of this
�
property.
The City of Fridley acauired this property in 1970 and 1971 because of
7
' the growing need for a major recreational area to serve the needs of a
growing population. The project was partially funded through a LAWCON grant,
' approved by the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of the
Interior, Bureau of Outdoor Recreation. The description of proposed activity
� � in the grant application outlined the use of thi.s property as a municipal golf
course. '
The second thing the Council should consider is the desirable environ-
mental effec�s that a golf course will have on the surrounding area. The
intent of the City in developing a golf course is the preservation of as: mu�:h
of the natural environment as possible. Any good golf course design will
incorporate such thinking. Along with a golf course, other recreational
activities could be programed; such as, cioss country skiing, snowshoeing,
walking paths, and winter nature programs. A controlled ponding system

could be provided in a golf course design to minimize the effects of
increased drainage coming into North Park, and, therefore, minimize the
effects of downstream runoff and erosion.
The third, and proba.bly most important, thing that the Council should
consider is what are the effects the surrounding area will have on the
envirorunent of North Park property. North Park is completely surrounded
by land that is zoned heavy industrial. It is also within very close proxi-
mity to potentially high volLUne commercial enterprises with the development
of Narthtown Shopping Center when it develops to its full capacity as a
regional center. Anoka County has had a request from Coon Rapids to widen
County Highway #132 (north boundary of North Park) to four lanes to ailow
for a commercial shopping center,just northeast of the North Park property,
with a projected traffic count of 23,000 cars per day on County Highwa.y #132,
and the total development of the surrounding property suggests that there
wi11 be substantial changes in the traffic patterns that will be detrimental
to the preservation of North Park for a nature interpretive program. This
high use activity in the surrounding areas would pretty much eliminate any
wildlife potential of the axea. The surrounding development would have much
less of a detrimental effect on North Park as a golf course, and in some
cases, would compliment each other. It would provide much improved access
io the golf �ourse and wouid expose i.t to the valuable public contact.
The fourth and final consideration is the,determined need for a golf
course in this area. The City Council has spent a substantial amount of
�til

time and money to detcrmine the proper use of this propert�. Both the
advocates of the golf. course and the nature center have liad ample oppor-
tunity to advocate their positions. The City hired a consultant for $11,000
to advise the Council. The consultant reconunended that the preferred use
would be for that of a golf course. After a long study and careful deli-
beration,.the Council voted 4-1 to establish a golf course. They also
suggested that a nature interpretive program making use of other very suit-
able sites within the City be set up. The 1968 Minnesota Outdoor Recreation
� Plan had also determined that there was a golf course deficiency in Region 11
(metropolitan region) of 35 courses, and this deficiency should be met by
1980.
I ask you to carefully consider what has been brought before you, and
before a decision is made, consider the background � the acc{uisition, the
relatively little impact the golf course will have on the surrounding area,
the harmful impact of the surrounding area on the nature interpretive
program on this site as compared to a golf course, and the extensive time
and expense that the City has undergone in determining the best use of the
North Park property.

M�10 T0: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: NASIM M. QURESHI, CIT'Y MANEIGER
SU13,JECT: STATUS OF NATU�LIST POSITION
' . .
The City Council, at their meeting of February 11, 1974, authorized the City
'� ' Manager's office to advertise for the position of a. naturalist. An advertisement
for this position was placed in the February 24, 1974 Minneapolis Sunday Tribune.
As a result of this ad, we received a response from approx:imately 45 applicants
' in the City Manager's office by 11�ednesday, March 13, 1974. An ad for the natura-
list �osition has also been placed in the League of Municipalities magazine for
the month of ylarch. Due to the League's change of c{uarters, the March issue has
' been delayed and should. be out by the Council's receipt of this memo. Further
' inquiries concerning this position will follow as a result of the League ad.
We are getting to the point that we can start actively interviewing appli-
' cants for the position: I would Iike the City Council to instruct me about the
date of appointment of the naturalist that we should shoot for so the applicants
can be advised accordingly.

Re: Go 1 f Cou rse
Anoka County Airport
Dear Mr. Quershi:
As per our telephone discussion, we are enclosing a copy of a draft of
a proposed lease between the City of Richfield and the h14C covering a
proposed Golf Course site at 4lold-Chamberiain. This draft was prepared
by the Attorne�sfor Richfield and M4C for discussion purposes and
was not reviewed or approved by f1AC staff or the Commission itself. It
rn3y, however, serve as a starting point for a discussion between your-
self and M�4C staff and its attorney if you so desire. It also will give
you some iciea of the recaptur�e, preferential use and other terms that
would mare than likely be inciuUed in the lease agreement.
For your information the Commission did dedicate some 200 acres of land
at Wold in the early 1�60's for use as a golf course by the City of
Richfield and Bloomington. The City of Blocmington dropped out of the
project and the City of Richfield decided to proceed alone. Other than
approva]s of M,qC and a drafi of a proposed lease and several discussions
with the Richfield officials, the City has not proceeded with develop-
ment of the Golf Course, (t is our understanding that they have not been
able to pi'oceed with the bond issue necessary to finance this project
because of otha'priorities in the City. As we previously stated, the
MAC approvals were granted and the approvals of the Metropolitan Council
and the Fec(erat Aviation Administration were also obtai.ned.
If we can be of any further assistance, please call me or Mr. Olson.
Very truly yours,

OFFICE OF T�� CITY MANAGER
FRIDLEY, MINNN�SOTA
March 15, 1974
HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
NASIM M. QURESFiI, CITY MANAGER
INTERIM RECOi�NDED ACTION FOR LIQUOR STORE #2, EAST RIVER ROAD
The City Council, at their meeting of March 11, 1974, directed the admini-
stration to come up with proposals to make at least 12o profit on the investment
in our liquor operations. There was a staff ineeting between Marvin Brunsell,
Finance Director, Bob NicGuire, Liauor Store Manager, and myself regarding this
item on Wednesday, March 13, 1974, 2:30 P.M. We c�iscussed al1 the figures
regarding sales, labor and net pxofit on our existing stores, and improving
the profit potential in relation to our investment in the liQuor business.
It was the general concensus of the meeting that there are certain
obvious actions the City should take right away before detailed recommenda-
tions can be presented to the Council at the meeting of April l, 1974. It was
clear that going on with certain operations would further reduce the net profit
potential of the liauor business, so"the followi.ng were recommended:
1. We should close Liquor Store #2 as soon as possible, and advise
the leasor and the general public of the same.
, 2. We reduce the number of permanent employees from seven to five,
and given them the adec{uate notice necessary, and also explore
the possibility of further reduction in the staff.
'
'
,
Pursuant to this thinking, we have had a meeting with George and Tony
Nicklow, our lea.sors for Liquor Store #2 and operators nf "George is in Fridley",
on Thursday, March 14, 1974, at 9:30 A.M., and advised them of the predicament
the City is in and the action of the City closing Liquor Store #2. We also
ex��lored the possibili_ty of an amenable agreement the City and Nicklows can
arrive at in regard to the remaining periocl of the lease. We also surveyed
certain assets within the store and explored the possibility of disposing of
some of the non-useable items. •
' This is an interim report that we are submitting, and we hope to submit
more detailed information to the Council and a recommendation for further action
at the Council Meeting of April 1, 1974. �
,
'
'
The interim recommendations are:
1. Close Liquor Store #2, effective March 30, 1974.
2. The pernlarient staff of the liauor store employees be reduced from
seven to five immediately, giving the employees the property notice.

HONORA73I,E MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL -2- MARCH 15, 1974
We hope to proceed with these activities right away after the Council
Meeting of March 18, 1974, unless directed otherwise by the City Council.

�MINI BIKING IN FRIDLEY�
�A
' The Co�nission asked if there had been any developments in respect to mini biking in
Fridley? tVith Spring approaching, the problem will be increaszng. Mr. Blair poznted
out that there still aren't any areas ivhere mini Uikers can ride.
' b1r. Stinunler said that as far as he was concerned, mini bi.king doesn't �it into our
realm of Recreation and we don't have to provide a place fox riding. Mr. Peterson
' concurred.
STARTI iJG DATE FOR PLAYGROUi�DS ,
' � i�1r. Bro�an briefed the Commission on a request by the Playground Director, Alaxine •
Boone, asking to delay the opening of Playgrounds for one tiaeek: The reason £or
the delay request is tha� the majority of the staff are college students and don't
' get out of school until the �aeek prior to the opening of Playgrounds. Each year,
before the opening of Playgrounds, D9rs. Boone conducts a t}iree-day workshop £or
her staff to orientate them with the program. One o£ the problems �vhich they
' encounter is that not everyone on the staff is able get to tlie workshop so soon
after they get out of school.
' The Playgrounds program is a G weeks program beginning one week after Baseball and
ending one week before Baseball ends. Baseball is an eight weeks program. By
delaying the opening date for Playgrounds one week, both programs �eill end on
August 2nd.

Mr. Stimmler asked Mr. Brown if there were any changes planned fox the morning
Baseball program? b9r. Brown stated that it would be the same pxogram we haye had
in the past. 1�1r. Stimmlex pointed out that over the past several years we have had
a steady decline in attendancee There were only two Cub teams. Dir. Brown said
that it was the plan of the Department to send a flyex to th.e schools just before
S.ummer Fegistration, to arouse interest among the boys. If this effort £aiJ.s to
produce a larger turnout9�the plans would be to re-arganize the program for 1975,
Mr. Bxotivn pointed out that Baseball is played at four locations. Perhaps the
ans►;Ter to the problem would be to centralize back at the Coii�mons Parh.
' r1r. Stimmler felt that there was a leadership problem within the Baseball pro�ram
He saicl that the �saseball Director should make certain that the Coacltes are doing
their jobs.
' Little Lea ue Baseball takes a reat number of the boys who would otherwi.se play
� g
within the morning program.

��rould be �10.00 per girl and the sessions would be for one houx a day, five days

"NORTH PARK�
' P1r. 1Vagar asked the Commissioners to discuss the situation with the deveio ment of
P
North Park. Fle stated that the Commission has not, to date, taken an official
' . stand and he felt that it was about time to do so. The last time the item was �
discussed, , no decisions were made, pending the outcome of surveys. Now that the
City Council has taken a stand, he felt that the Commission should also be on record.

DISCUSSION: Mr, iVagar said that it tiaas time for a poll of feelings since the
Commission has never sat doti�n and di.scussed the pros and cons of a golf cour.se or
nature center for North Park.
Mr. Stimmler stated that he had attended the Ad Hoc Committee meeting, City Council
meetings, and other such meetings, where Noxth Park was discussed, but in each
instance, the groups were firmly divided and nothing tvas accomplished.
b1r. Peterson felt that it was unfair to the Commission because of the history of the
project. People's emotions, rathPr than logic, are involved,
h1r. Blair asked Mr. Brown if he had seen the.proposal by the h9etropolitan Airport
Commission concerning �he use of. Janesfield for a gol£ course? bir. 13rown said that
he had. Mr. Blair said that it was rumored that the Blaix City Council had discax4ed
the request, but he didn't know if it was true.
h1r. Blair agreed that it was time for the Commission to let their wishes be known.
He said that he, personally, was in favor of a golf course, because of the proposed
shopping center which Coon Rapids will be building, directly Nort}i of Noxth Park,
draining into the Park, and the fact that the Fridley land �vhich surrounds the Park
is zoned Industrial. He went on to explain that the City �vould be accepting a
�iability if we.agree to develop a Nature Center. It's too difficult to get monies
within our Budget for the things we need no�a,.without adding another expense.
Mr. IVagar said that we'd have a 120 acre zoo. He sta�ed that he's had a tremendous
number of phone calls supporting the golf course. He felt tliat it is the desire oi
the residents to install a golf course. �
rir. Peterson said t}iat he wasn't ready to take a stand. He has mixed feelings about
, the development.

participated in tha� litigation which has been completed, however, the decision
is pending before the Anoka County District Court at the present time.
The total attorneys' fees charged
� the Anoka County proceedings were
billed to the City of Fridley and

by this office for the representation in
$3,429. Of this amount $2,359.26 have been
$1,069.74 to the City of Columbia Heights.
In addition I contacted Ron Kalina, the attorney for Columbia Heights, and he
advises me that he has billed the City of Columbia Heights to date the sum of
$1600 for the police pension litigation and that he anticipates an additional
billing of $200. According to my computations this would mean that the City
of Columbia Heights would have incurred legal fees for the District Court
litigation in the approximate amount of $2700, while the City of Fridley would
have incurred attorneys' fees for such lit'igation in the amount af $2,359.26.
If you have any additional questions concerning the matter do not hesitate to
contact me at your convenience. There remains�to be paid the sum of $1,457.53
by the City of Fridley to this law firm for attorney's fees involved in the

This amount is of course included within the total of $2,359.26 referred to

S UBJECT: Installation of Street Lights on
Fairmont Circle N.E.
As requested by the City ;�fanagsr's office, the Engineering
Department investigated the possibility of installing street
lights in the referenced area.
The Fairmont Circle area is a r�latiuel.y new residential
development with approximately 11 out of a possible 18 homes
constructed. Prior to development o£ the area, no street lights
were warranted. Hawev�r, with the develapment nearing com�letion,
street.lights are now needed. The Engineering Department recom-
mends that to remain consistent with other areas of the City in
providing a safe environment for al� residents of Fridley, the
inst�.11ation o£ the street lights be approved. Northern States
Power Company, upon approval of the insta2.lation, ivi11 be contacted
and informed to proceed with acquisition of necessary easements
and preparation of plans for i.nstallation of the two lights required
(see attached map). If appraved, it is anticipated the lights will
be in operation in approximately four weeks.
